2. 1. Helping robots help us : Using prior information for localization, navigation, and human-robot interaction

   Author : Malcolm Mielle; Martin Magnusson; Achim Lilienthal; Erik Schaffernicht; Marjorie Skubic; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graph-based SLAM; prior map; sketch map; emergency map; map matching; graph matching; segmentation; search and rescue;

   Abstract : Maps are often used to provide information and guide people. Emergency maps or floor plans are often displayed on walls and sketch maps can easily be drawn to give directions. However, robots typically assume that no knowledge of the environment is available before exploration even though making use of prior maps could enhance robotic mapping. READ MORE

4. 2. Human aspects on the evacuation of a passenger ship - passengers' and crew's capabilities and limitations to cope with a dangerous and demanding situation

   Author : Monica Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stress; passenger groups; reactions; passenger ships; group reactions; evacuation;

   Abstract : Todays evacuation systems and equipment are not adapted to realistic circumstances. The equipment is complicated, difficult and dangerous to handle. The equipment is furthermore tested and approved in limited weather conditions which make it more or less impossible to launch the equipment, if the weather conditions are too bad. READ MORE

5. 3. Data mining of geospatial data: combining visual and automatic methods

   Author : Urška Demšar; Hans Hauska; Peter A. Burrough; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; geographic information science; geoinformatics; geovisualisation; spatial data mining; visual data mining; usability evaluation; Other information technology; Övrig informationsteknik;

   Abstract : Most of the largest databases currently available have a strong geospatial component and contain potentially useful information which might be of value. The discipline concerned with extracting this information and knowledge is data mining. Knowledge discovery is performed by applying automatic algorithms which recognise patterns in the data.

6. 4. Moral conflicts in health crises : Swedish health care workers’ experiences and management of moral stress

   Author : Martina E. Gustavsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: In health crises, elevated patient needs, and scarce resources may pose moral challenges for healthcare workers (HCWs), as they must prioritize and make complex professional decisions regarding the provision of patient care. Moral stress, distinct from occupational stress, may trigger a negative stress reaction, moral distress, and potential psychological outcomes. READ MORE

7. 5. A gaming perspective on command and control

   Author : Joel Brynielsson; Stefan Arnborg; Piotr J. Gmytrasiewicz; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; command and control; decision-making; situation awareness; data fusion; simulation; gaming; experimentation; microworld research; graphical modeling; game theory; rationality; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : In emergency management and in military operations, command and control comprises the collection of functions, systems and staff personnel that one or several executives draw on to arrive at decisions and seeing that these decisions are carried out. The large amount of available information coupled with modern computers and computer networks brings along the potential for making well-informed and quick decisions. READ MORE
