  1. 16. Development, application, and reliability of methods for ergonomic workload assessments in production evaluation and workstation design

    Författare :Ida-Märta Rhen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders; Risk assessment; Direct measurement; Biomechanical Exposure; Systematic Observation; Digital Human Modelling; Ergonomics; Workplace Design; Simulation; Reliability;

    Sammanfattning : Ergonomics assessments of conditions for humans at workstations and in manufacturing processes are necessary to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and enhance efficiency and quality. Many methods can be used for this from systematic observations to direct measurements and simulation. LÄS MER

  3. 17. General mental ability as related to school, work and health : The importance of childhood mental ability for work-related factors among middle-aged women and men

    Författare :Cornelia Wulff; Petra Lindfors; Magnus Sverke; Tomas Hemmingsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; General mental ability; achievement; occupational level; satisfaction; psychosocial workload; health; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

    Sammanfattning : General mental ability (GMA) has been found to be important for adjustment and achievement in school and at work. GMA has been linked to various health outcomes, although the research linking it to school-, work-, and health-related outcomes among working adults is still limited. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Beyond the Force: Redefining load exposure assessments of nutrunners for improved power tool ergonomics

    Författare :Ava Mazaheri; Linda Rose; Mikael Forsman; Romain Haettel; Joel Cort; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power Tools; Nutrunners; Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders; Risk Assessment; Load Exposure; Assembly Work; Monteringsverktyg; Mutterdragare; Arbetsrelaterade Muskuloskeletala Besvär; Riskbedömning; Belastningsexponering; Monteringsarbete; Teknik och hälsa; Technology and Health;

    Sammanfattning : Reaction force exposure from handheld tightening tools (also known as nutrunners) constitutes an acknowledged contributor to musculoskeletal disorders among assembly operators, and are today not regulated by explicit limits. The research presented in this thesis aimed at contributing to the development of recommended exposure limits for, and assessments of, reaction loads from handheld right-angle and pistol-grip tightening tools.

  5. 19. Near infrared spectroscopy for assessing oxygenation and hemodynamics in the upper extremities of healthy subjects and patients with work-related muscle pain

    Författare :Guilherme H. Elcadi; Albert G. Crenshaw; Mikael Forsman; Martin Fahlström; Svend Erik Mathiassen; Karen Sogaard; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Near infrared spectroscopy; muscle oxygenation; hemodynamics; electromyography; extensor carpi radialis; trapezius; fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of work-related muscle pain (WRMP) is large in the general population in the industrialized world. Despite significant advances over recent years in some research areas, the mechanisms of why WRMP occurs and the pathophysiological mechanisms behind the disorders are still unclear. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Herraväldets processer : en studie av kvinnors förslitningsskadesituation och könade processer i tre olika slags arbetsorganisationer

    Författare :Eva Christenson; Gerd Lindgren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; gendered processes; work organizations; women s work-related mus-culoskeletal disorders; Sociology; sociologi; Sociology;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis the situation concerning women's musculoskeletal disorders in three different types of workplaces is studied, and differences in women's and men's working conditions which affect this situation are identified. How diffe-rences in working conditions are constructed and reconstructed in and by gen-dered processes is analysed, and this analysis also shows how the work organiza-tions are gendered and gendering.
