Display and Interface Design

Subtle Science, Exact Art

The Science of Working Dogs

Kevin B. Bennett and John M. Flach

Edited by

Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, USA

William S. Helton

The reason that good interfaces are few and far between is really quite simple: they are extremely difficult to design and build properly. While there are many books available that address display design, most of them focus on aesthetic principles but lack scientific rigor, or are descriptive but not prescriptive. This book elucidates an overarching framework for design that can be applied to the broad spectrum of existing domains. The authors delineate analytical tools and principles of design that are general and powerful, but very abstract, accompanied by concrete examples of their use in a variety of domains of application. The book includes access to a website containing examples of the dynamic properties of displays.

Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary field that has gained recognition as an important field in ergonomics. HCI draws on ideas and theoretical concepts from computer science, psychology, industrial design, and other fields.

Human–Computer Interaction is no longer limited to trained software users. Today people interact with various devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.

How can you make such interaction user friendly, even when user proficiency levels vary? This book explores methods for assessing the psychological complexity of computer-based tasks. It also presents methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis of exploratory activity during interaction with a computer.

While there have been tremendous advances in our scientific understanding of the brain, this work has been largely academic, and often oriented toward clinical publication.

This book addresses the relationship between neurophysiological processes and the performance and experience of humans in everyday life. It samples the vast neuroscience literature to identify those areas of research that speak directly to the performance and experience of humans in everyday settings. The book explains the underlying basis for well-established principles from human factors, ergonomics, and industrial engineering and design.

Griffith University, Nathan Campus, Australia

Amit Bhattacharya

We tend to blame and forget those professionals who cause incidents and accidents, but they are victims too. They are second victims whose experiences of an incident or adverse event can be as traumatic as that of the first victim’s. This book goes through what we know about trauma, guilt, forgiveness ,and injustice and how these might be felt by the second victim. It discusses how to conduct investigations of incidents that do not alienate second victims or make them feel even worse. It enters into a conversation on support and resilience and where the responsibilities for creating it may lie.

Commonly used throughout the world, manual lifting tasks—whether simple or complex—all involve variable loads, postures, and movements. This practical guide discusses how to analyze the intricate lifting function and prevent injury during its execution. Outlining revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE) methods, the book illustrates their use in assessing manual lifting tasks of varying degrees of difficulty. Using examples to reinforce presented concepts, it explains how RNLE methods can be applied to evaluate single, composite, variable, and sequential lifting tasks. It also explores how to interpret and apply the results according to international standards and guidelines.

The TransNav 2013 Symposium held at the Gdynia Maritime University, Poland in June 2013 has brought together a wide range of participants from all over the world.

The program has offered a variety of contributions, allowing to look at many aspects of the navigational safety from various different points of view. Topics presented and discussed at the symposium were: navigation, safety at sea, sea transportation, education of navigators and simulator-based training, sea traffic engineering, ship’s manoeuvrability, integrated systems, electronic charts systems, satellite, radionavigation and anti-collision systems, and many others. This book is part of a series of four volumes and provides an overview of Education and Training, Human Resources and Crew Resource Management, Policy, and Economics and is addressed to scientists and professionals involved in research and development of navigation, safety of navigation, and sea transportation.

Tools and Methodologies

Automotive Accident Reconstruction

D. H. Stamatis

Practices and Principles

President of Contemporary Consultants, Michigan, USA

Risk is everywhere, in everything we do. Realizing this fact, we all must try to understand this “risk” and if possible to minimize it. This book expands the conversation beyond failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) techniques. While FMEA is indeed a powerful tool to forecast failures for both design and processes, it is missing methods for considering safety issues, catastrophic events, and their consequences. This new book focuses on risk and HAZOP as they relate to major catastrophic events, safety, and risk. Specifically, it addresses the process and implementation as well as understanding the fundamentals of using a risk methodology in a given organization for evaluating major safety and/or catastrophic problems.

Changing the Workplace Safety Culture

Behavioural Adaptation and Road Safety

Ron C. McKinnon

Theory, Evidence and Action

McKinnon & Associates, Western Cape, South Africa

The only way to ensure that accidents and their consequences are tackled at the source is to identify and eliminate the workplace risks before, rather than after, the event. The ongoing identification of workplace and worker risk must become a value to an organization and must occur automatically, as part of the culture of the organization if accidental losses are to be eliminated. This book shows that an organization’s safety culture is the driving force behind successful safety management systems that constantly identify and reduce risk thus eliminating accidents which lead to injuries, property damage, or environmental disasters.

Daniel Gopher

Human and Organizational Factors in Nuclear Safety The French Approach to Safety Assessments Gregory Rolina Ecole des Mines de Paris, Paris, France

Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa Series: Human Factors and Ergonomics

This book presents a systematic human factors-based proactive approach to the improvement of health care work and patient safety. The proposed approach delineates a more direct and powerful alternative to the contemporary dominant focus on error investigation and care providers’ accountability. It demonstrates how significant improvements in the quality of care and enhancement of patient safety are contingent on a major shift from efforts and investments driven by a retroactive study of errors, incidents, and adverse events, to an emphasis on proactive human factors-driven intervention and the development of corresponding conceptual approaches and methods for its systematic implementation.

This book discusses the specifics of safety regulations regarding nuclear risk and how experts contribute to the safety of nuclear installations. The author shows that French regulations concerning nuclear safety depend on maintaining a technical dialogue between the ASN, IRSN, and nuclear operators. In the face of an ongoing European and global re-evaluation of the safety of nuclear power and alignment towards the Anglo-Saxon standard, the French cooking approach may yet be able to make a significant contribution.

The goal for ergonomics has always been to adapt work, work environments, and machines to man. But is this goal still sufficient? Does it satisfy the needs of the individual, or of societies and organizations as they operate now? This book answers these questions.
