  2. 1. Clothing Evaporative Resistance: Its Measurements and Application in Prediction of Heat Strain

    Author : Faming Wang; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal manikin; clothing ensemble; evaporative resistance; localised evaporative resistance; thermophysiological response; heat stress; heat strain; the Predicted Heat Strain PHS model;

    Abstract : Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the most important inputs for both the modelling and for standards dealing with thermal comfort and heat stress. It might be determined on guarded hotplates, on sweating manikins or even on human subjects. READ MORE

  4. 2. Essays in Environmental Management and Economics: Public Health, Risk and Strategic Environmental Assessment

    Author : Daniel Slunge; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; risk; risk perception; public health; strategic environmental assessment; institutions; governance; willingness to pay; protective behaviour; vector-borne diseases; ticks; TBE; tick-borne encephalitis; Lyme borreliosis; climate change;

    Abstract : Abstract Current large-scale environmental and climate change leads to the emergence of new and potentially dramatic risks for individuals and societies. The welfare costs associated with these risks largely depend on our ability to take them into account in decision-making and adapt to new circumstances. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vision-based Human Detection from Mobile Machinery in Industrial Environments

    Author : Rafael Mosberger; Achim J. Lilienthal; Henrik Andreasson; Jürgen Gall; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Industrial Safety; Mobile Machinery; Human Detection; Computer Vision; Machine Learning; Infrared Vision; High-visibility Clothing; Reflective Markers; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Abstract : The problem addressed in this thesis is the detection, localisation and tracking of human workers from mobile industrial machinery using a customised vision system developed at Örebro University. Coined the RefleX Vision System, its hardware configuration and computer vision algorithms were specifically designed for real-world industrial scenarios where workers are required to wear protective high-visibility garments with retro-reflective markers.

  6. 4. Human responses to cold and wind

    Author : Désirée Gavhed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bradycardia; blood pressure; clothing insulation; cold; exercise; heart rate; IREQ; mean skin temperature; metabolic rate; rectal temperature; subjective ratings; wind; Wind Chill Index; work.;

    Abstract : Cold is stressful for the human being and has physical, subjective and physiological effects. Body cooling must be prevented to provide for the worker's comfort and safety in cold workplaces. READ MORE

  7. 5. How will climate change working life?

    Author : Karin Lundgren Kownacki; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; occupational heat stress; climate change; productivity; international standards; India;

    Abstract : Heat stress has been studied extensively. However, in the contemporary context of climate change there is a lack of information on the extent of future heat stress and its consequences, especially in occupational settings. READ MORE
