The impact of safety factors on decision-making in maritime navigation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Approximately 85% of maritime accidents are accounted for by navigation accidents, caused by human errors such as mistakes in impropriate decision-making. Decision-making skills are the key to safe sailing. However, the assessment of decisionmaking based on objective measurements is rarely studied. This paper aims to assess the impact of safety factors on decision-making in maritime navigation. ... -

Acousto-ultrasonic ... -
From Waste to Value: A Practical Framework for Waste Identification and Mitigation Using Lean Management Principles
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)In the complex and fast-changing marketing environment, there is a constant need to reduce costs and enhance the performance of production systems. The cost-cutting strategies need to consider the long-term effect on the company. For example, the layoff may reduce the cost in the short term, but in the long term, it may significantly affect employees' psychological safety and increase human error. ... -
Postural Stability Variables for Dynamic Equilibrium
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)Experiments on the maintenance of postural stability on flat stationary support surfaces (quiet standing) that show only limited modes of the potential configurations of balance stability have dominated investigations of balance in quiet upright standing.
