The impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manikin chest stiffness on motivation and CPR performance measures in children undergoing CPR training-A prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled trial. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Cardio-pulmonary-resuscitation (CPR) training starting at the age of 12 years is recommended internationally. Training younger children is not recommended because young children lack the physical ability to perform adequate CPR and ...

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Comparison of thermal manikins to human thermoregulatory responses [PDF]

, 2015
Immersion suits are lifesaving appliances (LSA) designed to protect the wearer if they become accidently immersed in cold water by reducing the cold shock response and delaying the onset of hypothermia.

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

A portable calorimeter of the calibrations of thermal manikins

, 2010
Due to expanding activities in remote, cold environments such as resource development in the Arctic and new polar cruise routes, measurement of the thermal protection of garments and shelters is becoming critical to ensure the safety of crews and ...

Good Deeds for Self‐Gain? How Self‐Enhancement Motivates Pro‐Environmental Behaviour in Entitled Consumers

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While personality traits often influence individuals' willingness to engage in prosocial and pro‐environmental behaviours, psychological entitlement tends to undermine such actions. Although extensive research has highlighted the negative social consequences of entitlement, including its impact on pro‐environmental behaviours, its potential to

Using experimental design to define boundary manikins

, 2012
When evaluating human-machine interaction it is central to consider anthropometric diversity to ensure intended accommodation levels. A well-known method is the use of boundary cases where manikins with extreme but likely measurement combinations are ...
