Summary: Comparison of joint angle measurements from three types of motion capture systems for ergonomic postural assessment -- Quantitative assessment of trunk flexion in nurses using wearable inertial sensor: A pilot study -- Comparing the ergonomics of gestural interfaces while running on a treadmill -- 'On the analysis of the relationship between alkaline water usage and muscle fatigue recovery -- Posture assessment and subjective scale agreement in picking tasks with low masses -- Evolution of a work-related musculoskeletal disorder risk assessment tool. The case of CERA -- Physical load and preventive measures in metal manufacturing industry -- Causes of work related musculoskeletal disorders in the textile industry.Summary: This book reports on cutting-edge findings and developments in physical, social and occupational ergonomics. It covers a broad spectrum of studies and evaluation procedures concerning physical and mental workload, work posture and ergonomic risk. Further, it reports on significant advances in the design of services and systems, including those addressing special populations, for purposes such as health, safety and education, and discusses solutions for a better and safer integration of humans, automated systems and digital technologies. The book also analyzes the impact of culture on people’s cognition and behavior, providing readers with timely insights into theories on cross-cultural decision-making, and their diverse applications for a number of purposes in businesses and societies. Based on three AHFE 2020 conferences (the AHFE 2020 Virtual Conference on Physical Ergonomics and Human Factors, the AHFE 2020 Virtual Conference on Social & Occupational Ergonomics, and the AHFE 2020 Virtual Conference on Cross-Cultural Decision Making), it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in physical, social and occupational ergonomics, including those imposed by technological developments, highlights key connections between them, and puts forward optimization strategies for sociotechnical systems, including their organizational structures, policies and processes. .PPN: PPN: 1726030210Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-ENG | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXE
