2. 1. Slip and fall risk on ice and snow : identification, evaluation and prevention

   Author : Chuansi Gao; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Work Environment; Industriell produktionsmiljö;

   Abstract : Slip and fall accidents and associated injuries on ice and snow are prevalent among outdoor workers and the general public in winter in many regions of the world. To understand and tackle this multi-factorial problem, a multidisciplinary approach was used to identify and evaluate slip and fall risks, and to propose recommendations for prevention of slips and falls on icy and snowy surfaces.

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

6. 4. Criterion-referenced measurement for educational evaluation and selection

   Author : Christina Wikström; Widar Henriksson; Roger Murphy; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : Assessment; Competition; Criterion-referenced; Education; Evaluation; Grading; Grade inflation; Measurement; Selection; Validity; Beteendevetenskapliga mätningar; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : In recent years, Sweden has adopted a criterion-referenced grading system, where the grade outcome is used for several purposes, but foremost for educational evaluation on student- and school levels as well as for selection to higher education. This thesis investigates the consequences of using criterion-referenced measurement for both educational evaluation and selection purposes. READ MORE
