2. 1. DREAM: A Method for Understanding the Causation of Single-Vehicle Crashes

   Author : Jesper Sandin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : driver error; accident model; contributory factors; causation; single-vehicle crashes; case study; pre-crash; accident analysis;

   Abstract : When conducting in-depth causation studies, it is essential that the analysis method can both define and classify contributing factors and be able to analyse how these factors may interact to produce a critical event. These issues are highly influenced by the underlying theory, e.g. the accident model. READ MORE

4. 2. Epidemiological studies of risk factors for injuries in an adult population

   Author : Birgit Modén; Socialmedicin och hälsopolitik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epidemiologi; injury; accident; sociodemographic factors;

   Abstract : Injuries are often associated with long-term suffering and lowered functioning, and personal injuries impose a huge burden on medical care and health services in addition to the costs associated with impaired functional ability. Each year in Sweden, falling accidents are experienced by a third of those aged 60 or over and half of those aged 80 or over, while injuries from traffic accidents still account for many of the serious accidents in youths and younger adults.

5. 3. Development of traffic conflicts technique for different environments: A comparative study of pedestrian conflicts in Sweden and Jordan

   Author : Lina Shbeeb; Trafik och väg; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; perception of conflicts.; non-signalised junctions; signalised junctions; accident prediction; accident to conflict conversion factors; TA-speed graphs; conflict speed; time to accidents; conflict sub-grouping; severity index; threshold; relevant road-user; pedestrian conflict; Traffic safety; traffic conflict technique; Technological sciences; Teknik; Social sciences; Samhällsvetenskaper;

   Abstract : This study is aimed at improving the current Swedish Traffic conflicts Technique [TCT] in relation to vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. The present definition of conflict severity appears to produce less severe conflicts than they might be, particularly if the relevant road user (RRU) is the pedestrian. READ MORE

6. 4. On Weapons Plutonium in the Arctic Environment (Thule, Greenland)

   Author : Mats Eriksson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Nuclear medicine; radiobiology; Nukleärmedicin; radiobiologi; Nuclear engineering and technology; Kärnteknik; realtime digital image systems; SEM; ICP-MS; alpha spectrometry; gamma spectrometry; heterogeneous activity concentration; hot particle; separation technique; isotopic ratio; inventory; source term; fallout; americium; uranium; plutonium; radionuclide; Bylot Sound; Greenland; Thule; environmental radioactivity; nuclear accident;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns a nuclear accident that occurred in the Thule (Pituffik) area, NW Greenland in 1968, called the Thule accident. Results are based on different analytical techniques, i.e. gamma spectrometry, alpha spectrometry, ICP-MS, SEM with EDX and different sediment models, i. READ MORE

7. 5. Household salt as an emergency radiation dosemeter for retrospective dose assessments using optically stimulated luminescence

   Author : Maria Christiansson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Optically stimulated luminescence OSL ; household salt; NaCl; retrospective dosimetry; accident dosimetry;

   Abstract : In the event of a radiation accident, it is crucial to make rapid estimates of the absorbed dose received by both emergency workers, so-called first responders, and members of the public. Today, only personnel in rescue teams responding to nuclear emergencies have access to individual dosemeters. READ MORE
