  2. 21. Environmental issues and the information technology industry : essays on branding and product development

    Author : Anthony Chan; Sharyn Rundle-Thiele; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Industriell marknadsföring; Industrial Marketing;

    Abstract : The information technology industry has played a critical role in enabling economic development and advancing living standards around the world for the last 50 years. While the contributions of IT have benefited all of us, the technologies have also generated huge quantities of electronic waste, and consumed significant energy. READ MORE

  4. 22. 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.
