1. 16. Towards a Safe System Approach to Prevent Health Loss among Motorcyclists

   Författare :Matteo Rizzi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stability; ABS; Safe System; Motorcycle; Powered Two Wheelers; Antilock Brakes;

   Sammanfattning : Health loss among motorcyclists is a global road safety problem for which innovative countermeasures are needed. While the traditional motorcycle safety approach has focused on protective gear and rider education, the Safe System approach adopted in Sweden and other countries implies that the road, the vehicle and the road user, in conjunction with a safe speed limit, should interact to create a safe road transport system.

3. 17. Look-ahead control for fuel-efficient and safe heavy-duty vehicle platooning

   Författare :Valerio Turri; Karl H. Johansson; Petros Ioannou; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platoon; platooning; optimization; optimal control; model predictive control; automatic control; fuel efficiency; intelligent transport systems; automated driving; cooperative; dynamic programming; trucks; heavy-duty vehicles; safe platooning; fuel-efficient platooning; distributed model predictive control; MPC; vehicle-following; pulse and glide; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The operation of heavy-duty vehicles at small inter-vehicular distances, known as platoons, lowers the aerodynamic drag and, therefore, reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Tests conducted on flat roads have shown the potential of platooning to reduce the fuel consumption of about 10%. LÄS MER

4. 18. Chemicals in consumer products : Towards a safe and sustainable use

   Författare :Linda Molander; Christina Rudén; Sven Ove Hansson; Mattias Öberg; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :consumer products; articles; hazardous chemicals; risk management; chemicals regulation; REACH; substitution; regulatory toxicology; European Union;

   Sammanfattning : Health and environmental risks associated with emissions of hazardous chemicals from articles, including everyday consumer products such as clothes and toys, have become widely acknowledged internationally, particularly in the EU. This thesis contributes to new understandings of how these risks are currently managed within the EU and recommends actions for ensuring a safe and sustainable use of chemicals in articles. LÄS MER

5. 19. Being provided with a safe haven : Care-dependent older persons' participation in prehospital emergency care

   Författare :Anna Hjalmarsson; Mats Holmberg; Margareta Asp; Birgitta Kerstis; Gunnel Östlund; Staffan Karlsson; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute illness; Ambulance care; Collaborative care; Municipal home care; Older persons; Participation in care; Prehospital emergency care; Care Sciences; vårdvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Participation in care is a key concept in many welfare societies and serves to guide clinical practice and adapt care to personal preferences and needs in order to promote well-being and quality of life. Previous research has shown that practicing participation in care is complex due to the concept not being clearly defined. LÄS MER

7. 20. Interventions for safe and healthy work

   Författare :Mats Eklöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Ergonomics; feedback; fishery; intervention; occupational injury; participatory; psychosocial factors; risk perception; safety attitudes; VDU-work;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to contribute to the research-based knowledge about associations 1) between individual psychological and social factors, respectively, and activity in safety work; 2) between general characteristics of working-environment change processes, on the one hand, and working environment characteristics, and health-related symptoms, on the other; 3) between working life interventions and activity to modify the working environment, working environment characteristics, and health-related symptoms.Associations between psychological and social factors, respectively, and activity in safety work were explored in a questionnarie study among Swedish fishermen.
