  1. 1. Serious occupational injuries by "accidents" : possible means of prevention and injury mitigation

    Författare :Torgny Jarl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Occupational; accident; injury; prevention; personal safety equipment; emergency action; commercial vehicles;

    Sammanfattning : An analysis of the circumstances preceding severe occupational injuries as a consequence of impacts has shown that well-known risks are of great importance in 75 per cent of the cases. This indicates that the subjective cause "neglect" is common. The negligence is distributed to the same extent among employers as among employees. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Pediatric spinal cord injury

    Författare :Marika Augutis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Pediatric; Spinal Cord Injury; Epidemiology; Adolescence; Psychosocial; Rehabilitation.;

    Sammanfattning : Sustaining a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) alters every aspect of a person s life significantly and irreversibly. Since SCI of traumatic etiology predominately occurs in young adult males, most research has focused on this group. Other demographic groups, such as children and women, have received much less attention. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Nycklar till Kommunikation : Kommunikation mellan vuxna personer med grav förvärvad hjärnskada och personernas närstående, anhöriga och personal

    Författare :Pia Käcker; Jerker Holmbäck; Anders Möller; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Communication; social interaction; communicative impairment; communicative ability; acquired severe brain damage; global aphasia; language impairment; friends and family; caregivers; kommunikation; social interaktion; kommunikationsstörning; kommunikativ kompetens; förvärvad grav hjärnskada; global afasi; språkstörning; anhöriga; personal; Disability research; Handikappsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Studien fokuserar kommunikation mellan vuxna personer med grav förvärvad hjärnskada och deras närstående. Syftet är att med utgångspunkt från de närståendes berättelser beskriva hur kommunikationen manifesteras, samt att ge en teoretisk beskrivning av vilka faktorer som understödjer respektive motverkar kommunikationen.

  5. 4. Modelling and inference of relative collision safety in cars

    Författare :Anna Vadeby; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Collision; Mathematical model; Head on collision; Injury; Risk; Car; 91 Road: Vehicle design and construction; 91 Road: Vehicle design and construction; 85 Road: Personal injuries; 85 Road: Personal injuries;

    Sammanfattning : We propose a new mathematical model for relative collision safety in cars. Our present research is restricted to head-on crashes between two cars and we try to determine how much of the injury risk in a crash that depends on car model. The relative risks include the driver populations of the different car models. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Investigation of Head Injuries in Car-to-Child Pedestrian Accidents

    Författare :Jianfeng Yao; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
