New Ergonomics Perspective Selected papers of the 10th Pan-Pacific Conference on Ergonomics Tokyo Japan 25-28 August 2014

New Ergonomics Perspective represents a selection of the papers presented at the 10th Pan-Pacifi c Conference on Ergonomics (PPCOE) held in Tokyo Japan August 25-28 2014. The first Pan-Pacific Conference on Occupational Ergonomics was held in 1990 at the University of Occupational and Environmental Health Japan. The main theme of the PPCOE 1990 was “Searching for Solutions to Occupational Problems. ” The successful meetings have taken place in 1990 (Kitakyushu Japan) 1992 (Wuhan China) 1994 (Seoul Korea) 1996 (Taipei Taiwan) 1998 (Kitakyushu Japan) 2001 (Beijing China) 2004 (Cairns Australia) 2007 (Bangkok Thailand) and 2010 (Kaohsiung Taiwan). After two decades of collective endeavors the conferences have established globally recognized excellence in scientific and professional contributions. Now PPCOE activities are entering a new stage after a quarter century of history. Fortunately participants of the PPCOE Final in Tokyo are eager to take a first step on the road to its rebirth: the establishment of a new mature PPCOE. PPCOE pursues ergonomics as a practical science covering a broad spectrum of up-to-date and comprehensive ergonomics issues. This book was organized into six thematic chapters including Aging and Occupational Safety Workplace Ergonomics Occupational Ergonomics Healthcare and Special Populations Human Computer Interaction and Current Issues and Ergonomics Approach. | New Ergonomics Perspective Selected papers of the 10th Pan-Pacific Conference on Ergonomics Tokyo Japan 25-28 August 2014

Designing the Olympics Representation Participation Contestation

Designing the Olympics Representation Participation Contestation

Designing the Olympics claims that the Olympic Games provide opportunities to reflect on the relationship between design national identity and citizenship. The Olympic design milieu fans out from the construction of the Olympic city and the creation of emblems mascots and ceremonies to the consumption interpretation and appropriation of Olympic artifacts from their conception to their afterlife. Besides products that try to achieve consensus and induce civic pride the Olympic design milieu also includes processes that oppose the Olympics and their enforcement. The book examines the graphic design program for Tokyo 1964 architecture and urban plans for Athens 2004 brand design for London 2012 and practices of subversive appropriation and sociotechnical action in counter-Olympic movements since the 1960s. It explores how the Olympics shape the physical legal and emotional contours of a host nation and its position in the world; how the Games are contested by a broader social spectrum within and beyond the nation; and how throughout these encounters design plays a crucial role. Recognizing the presence of multiple actors the book investigates the potential of design in promoting equitable political participation in the Olympic context. | Designing the Olympics Representation Participation Contestation
