På Scanias R&D-avdelning i Södertälje sker dagligen tester av deras fordon, både av lastbilar och bussar. Många av provningarna kräver att fordonen är lastade för att kunna testa prestandan. Vid lastning av lastbilar finns ett välprövat system, men när det kommer till bussar finns inget fungerande system för hur lastningen ska ske. Många olika varianter finns och i slutändan används den lösning som passar bäst för stunden. Avsikten med detta projekt är att kartlägga hur lastning ska kunna utföras på ett rätt sätt med avseende på säkerhet och hållbarhet, samt ta fram en ny flexibel konstruktion som medverkar till att lastning blir ett enklare moment.Vid avdelningen NB (Hybrid Technology Development) testas fordon dagligen.

AbstractWorking with child and youth welfare is one of the most difficult challenges a social worker might face in the field of social work. Those who work with child and youth welfare are more exposed to stress and burnout than other comparable human service occupations.
