Ergonomi

“Ergonomi” er en grundbog til sygepleje, fysioterapi og ergoterapi del af FADL’s Forlags serie af undervisningsbøger til professionsbachelorer. Bogen har fokus på den enkelte patient, samarbejdet med patienten og den sundhedsprofessionelles arbejdsvilkår. De fire forfattere - en sygeplejerske, to ergoterapeuter og en fysioterapeut - gør ergonomi relevant, håndgribelig og nærværende for læseren, og forfatternes forskellige baggrunde gør bogen tværfaglig og teoretisk velbegrundet. Kapitlerne er bygget op på en overskuelig måde og hvert kapitel indeholder et resumé og forslag til øvelser i praksis. Foruden en grundlæggende introduktion af ergonomibegrebet kommer bogen bl.a. ind på kognitiv og organisatorisk ergonomi, de 7 basale bevægelsesmønstre, basal biomekanik, arbejdsstillinger, forflytningsteknik, og hjælpemidler. Bogen er rigt illustreret og fuld af faktabokse og relevante cases, som gør bogen konkret, overskuelig og nem at læse. “Ergonomi” hjælper de studerende til at koble teori og praksis, så ergonomien bliver håndgribelig og anvendelig i de studerendes kliniske ophold. Bogen henvender sig til alle tre faggrupper - sygepleje, fysioterapi og ergonomi. Den kan bruges af den studerende, som er i gang med en sundhedsuddannelse, men også af den nyuddannede eller den mere erfarne sundhedsprofessionelle til at fastholde eller videreudvikle klinisk praksis. Til bogen er der tilknyttet et powerpointshow, som kan bruges af undervisere eller andre interesserede, som ønsker at formidle ergonomi i undervisningen.

Situation Assessment in Aviation new aspects of soft computing technologies for evaluation and assessment of situations in aviation scenarios. It considers using technologies, emerging from: multisensory data fusion (MSDF), Bayesian networks (BN), and fuzzy logic (FL), to assist pilots in their decision making.

In the world of transportation, fatigue is a silent killer that can affect us all. Understanding fatigue, including how to manage it to minimize safety risk, is of great importance. However, while it is one thing to recognize that fatigue is a critical safety issue, it is quite another to set up a successful, scientifically informed fatigue risk management programme. This book is here to help. It has been carefully designed as a comprehensive reference point, bringing together international expertise from leaders in fatigue science, and showcasing valuable insights from transportation industry practitioners. The 40 authored chapters are divided into six sections, to better understand fatigue science, the consequences of fatigue in transportation, contributors to fatigue, managing fatigue and promoting alertness, real world case studies of fatigue management in practice, and future perspectives. While it is possible to read each chapter in isolation, most will be gained by reading the book as a whole. Each chapter starts with an abstract overview and concludes with summary bullet points, creating a handy "quick check" for key points. This accessible text is for those who are interested in supporting alert and safe transportation operations. It is suitable for professionals, transport managers, government advisors, policy makers, students, academics, and anyone who wants to learn more. All transport modes (road, rail, maritime and aviation) are considered. For anyone waking up to the complex challenge of fatigue management, this handbook is a must.

The text comprehensively discusses the fundamental aspects of human-computer interaction, and applications of artificial intelligence in diverse areas including disaster management, smart infrastructures, and healthcare.

This book investigates human-machine systems through the use of case studies such as crankshaft maintenance, liner piston maintenance, and biodiesel blend performance. Through mathematical modelling and using various case studies, the book provides an understanding of how a mathematical modelling approach can assist in working out problems in any industrial-oriented activity. Mathematical Modelling: Simulation Analysis and Industrial Applications details a data analysis approach using mathematical modelling sensitivity. This approach helps in the processing of any type of data and can predict the result so that based on the result, the activity can be controlled by knowing the most influencing variables or parameters involved in the phenomenon. This book helps to solve field and experimental problems of any research activity using a data-based modelling concept to assist in solving any type of problem. Students in manufacturing, mechanical, and industrial engineering programs will find this book very useful. This topic has continued to advance and incorporate new concepts so that the manufacturing field continues to be a dynamic and exciting field of study.

This book provides comprehensive coverage on aging and safety aspects including fire safety, food safety, and occupational safety in a single volume. It will an ideal text for professionals and graduate students in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, occupational health, and safety.

This book is a comprehensive survey on safety for older adults. It contains contributions by experts from over a dozen disciplines, including physicians, audiologists, optometrists, mental health professionals, lawyers, occupational therapists, and policy makers. This multi-disciplinary approach provides a new and expansive conceptual framework for health care professionals, students, policymakers, and others who care for older adults, and promotes an understanding of the many challenges that adults face as they age.This book describes the complex range of issues that need to be considered when safeguarding older adults. We hope that this book will be of benefit to anyone currently working or training to work with older adults, helping them to fully appreciate the many safety issues that can arise. The book will be also be useful for both older adults and their caregivers, helping them to identify and address areas of concern. Our goal is to mitigate injury or other harm through an increased understanding of the risks encountered by older adults. This text will also appeal to professionals and graduate students in the fields of human factors and ergonomics, occupational health, and safety.

This book provides applications of machine learning in healthcare systems and seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine by combining design and problem-solving skills of engineering with health sciences to advance healthcare treatment. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Systems: Tools and Techniques discusses AI-based smart paradigms for reliable prediction of infectious disease dynamics; such paradigms can help prevent disease transmission. It highlights the different aspects of using extended reality for diverse healthcare applications and aggregates the current state of research. The book offers intelligent models of the smart recommender system for personal well-being services and computer-aided drug discovery and design methods. Case studies illustrating the business processes that underlie the use of big data and health analytics to improve healthcare delivery are center stage. Innovative techniques used for extracting user social behavior (known as sentiment analysis for healthcare-related purposes) round out the diverse array of topics this reference book covers. Contributions from experts in the field, this book is useful to healthcare professionals, researchers, and students of industrial engineering, systems engineering, biomedical, computer science, electronics, and communications engineering.
