2. 36. Improving initial care of road traffic injured people in Tanzania : Evaluation of a traffic police first aid education programme

   Author : Menti Ndile; Susanne Backteman-Erlandson; Britt-Inger Saveman; Anne Outwater; Petra Brysiewicz; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Post-crash; injury; first aid; training; traffic police; lay responder; prehospital care; emergency care; knowledge; skills; transfer of learning; low-and middle income countries; Tanzania;

   Abstract : Background: An overwhelming proportion of road traffic deaths and injuries in low- and middle-income countries occurs in prehospital environments. Lay responders such as traffic police officers play an important role in providing initial assistance to victims of road crashes, either alone or in collaboration with others. READ MORE

4. 37. Methods for efficient modelling of progressive failure in laminated fibre-reinforced composites

   Author : Johannes Främby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Composites; Progressive failure; Crash simulation; Adaptive modelling;

   Abstract : To meet increasing demands on reduced CO2 emissions, the automotive industry is currently very active in research to reduce vehicle weight by incorporating laminated composites (primarily carbon fibre-reinforced polymers) into structural components. Historically, composite materials have mainly been used in the aerospace industry, whereby CAE-based design and development tools for composite structures have been developed primarily to the specific needs and requirements in this industry.

5. 38. Chest Injuries in Heavy Vehicle Frontal Collisions - Evaluation and Adaptation of the Hybrid III Dummy Instrumentation and Injury Reference Values by Means of Human Body Modeling

   Author : Kristian Holmqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMOS2; Human Body Model; Hybrid III; Frontal Crash; Finite Element; THUMS; Injury Criterion; Heavy Vehicle;

   Abstract : The safety of passenger cars has been significantly improved during the last decades. Similar improvements are not as apparent in heavy vehicles and one of the reasons is believed to be deficiencies in heavy vehicle crash testing and the tools used to evaluate the biomechanical responses.

6. 39. Passenger kinematics in evasive maneuvers

   Author : Emma Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; volunteer kinematics; Active Human Body Model; pre-crash; active muscles; occupant variability; evasive maneuvers;

   Abstract : In situations that might lead to a vehicle crash, drivers often perform an evasive maneuver, such as braking or steering, in an attempt to avoid a crash. If a crash was not avoided, the maneuver could influence the injury outcome by altering the occupant’s position. READ MORE

7. 40. The role of forensic epidemiology in evidence-based forensic medical practice

   Author : Michael Freeman; Anders Eriksson; Maurice Zeegers; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; forensic epidemiology; forensic medicine; probability; traffic crash; autopsy; logistic regression; Bayes´law; Forensic Medicine; rättsmedicin; Forensic Medicine; rättsmedicin;

   Abstract : Objectives This thesis is based on 4 papers that were all written with the same intent, which was to describe and demonstrate how epidemiologic concepts and data can serve as a basis for improved validity of probabilistic conclusions in forensic medicine (FM). Conclusions based on probability are common in FM, and the validity of probabilistic conclusions is dependant on their foundation, which is often no more than personal experience. READ MORE
