2. 11. Young Drivers and Their Passengers : Crash Risk and Group Processes

   Author : Inger Engström; Kjell Granström; Nils Petter Gregersen; Håkan Alm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Young drivers; passengers; crash risk; group processes; Unga förare; passagerare; olycksrisk; grupprocesser; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The overall aim was to elucidate the effects of vehicle passengers on young drivers. This generated two specific aims and four papers. The first aim was to investigate the crash risk for young drivers with passengers and to establish whether such accidents involve any special circumstances compared to those that occur without passengers.

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial light at night; ALAN; antioxidants; great tit; light pollution; LPS; multi-stressor; noise pollution; tropospheric ozone; urbanisation; zebra finch;

   Abstract : Anthropogenic pollution is a pervasive feature of urbanisation, reaching into ecosystems worldwide and posing novel challenges to wildlife. Not surprisingly, differences in behaviour, and physiology, have been found between urban and rural populations. READ MORE

6. 14. Effects of vibration on muscles in the neck and upper limbs : with focus on occupational terrain vehicle drivers

   Author : Charlotte Åström; Gunnevi Sundelin; Lage Burström; Stefan Karlsson; Karin Harms-Ringdahl; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electromyography; drivers; hand-arm vibration; trapezius; whole-body vibration; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

   Abstract : Introduction: Occupational drivers of terrain vehicles are exposed to several risk factors associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in the lower back as well as in the neck and upper limbs. Vibration has been suggested to be a main risk factor. These drivers are exposed to both whole-body vibration (WBV) and hand-arm vibration (HAV). READ MORE

7. 15. Risk factors of road traffic injuries among motorcyclists in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

   Author : Filbert Francis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Commercial motorcycling has become an alternative mode of transport and employment in low and middle-income countries, contributing to road traffic injuries and deaths. Still, there is limited context-specific knowledge regarding risk factors associated with commercial motorcycling. READ MORE
