  2. 1. Situating Simulators : The integration of simulations in medical practice

    Author : Ericka Johnson; Boel Berner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; reconstitution; medical simulators; simulations; situated learning; medical practice; apprenticeship; legitimate peripheral participation; intra-action; agency; medicinsk utbildning; simulering; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : This study examined the practices of integrating simulators into medical education. Simulators have been observed in use to discern how medical practices are created out of the simulations. Video recordings of the simulations have been analysed, complemented by interviews with instructors and students. READ MORE

  4. 2. Operator Training Simulators towards Industrial Biotechnology

    Author : Inga Gerlach; Carl-Fredrik Mandenius; Volker C. Hass; Carl Johan Franzén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Biotechnological processes are carried out by applying advanced and demanding process strategies. Thus, fundamental understanding and knowledge about the applied microorganism is required to achieve high productivity and profitability. READ MORE

  5. 3. Flight Simulator Training : Assessing the Potential

    Author : Staffan Magnusson Nählinder; Kjell Ohlsson; Nils Dahlbäck; Erland Svensson; Ken R. Boff; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Work sciences and ergonomics; Arbetsvetenskap och ergonomi;

    Abstract : Mental workload is an important concept and has been proven to be a precursor to situation awareness and operative performance. This thesis describes methods to measure mental workload through self-ratings and psychophysiological measurements. READ MORE

  6. 4. Haptic and visual simulation of material cutting process : a study focused on bone surgery and the use of simulators for education and training

    Author : Magnus G. Eriksson; Jan Wikander; Ingela Nyström; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; surgical simulation; virtual reality; haptic feedback; surgical training; medical simulators; metrics; 3D visualization; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : A prototype of a haptic and virtual reality simulator has been developed for simulation of the bone milling and material removal process occurring in several operations, e.g. temporal bone surgery or dental milling. The milling phase of an operation is difficult, safety critical and very time consuming. READ MORE

  7. 5. Validating User Engagement and Effectiveness of Training Simulations : A mixed-methods approach informed by embodied cognition and psychophysiological measures

    Author : Hiran B. Ekanayake; Robert Ramberg; Tom Ziemke; Per Backlund; Kamalanath Priyantha Hewagamage; Craig Lindley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; training simulators; simulation validation; psychological fidelity; psychophysiological measures; embodied cognition; electroencephalography EEG ; galvanic skin response GSR ; träningssimulatorer; validering av simuleringar; psykologisk realism; psyko-fysiologiska mått; kroppslig kognition; elektroencefalografi EEG ; galvanisk hudrespons GSR ; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Simulation-based training has gained widespread attention recently as a response to drawbacks associated with traditional training approaches, such as high training costs (instructors, equipment, etc.), high risks (e.g. pilot training), and ethical issues (e. READ MORE
