Factores asociados a los accidentes de motocicleta en Barcelona, España
2019
espanolResumen: Este estudio analizo los accidentes de motocicleta y ciclomotor en Barcelona (Espana). 53.190 informes de conductores de motocicleta y ciclomotor involucrados en accidentes entre los anos 2006 y 2011 fueron extraidos de la base de datos de accidentes con victimas de la Direccion General de Trafico. Estos datos fueron analizados en terminos de sexo, grupos de edad, motivo del desplazamiento, dia de la semana, infracciones de velocidad, uso del casco y lesividad, con el objetivo de estudiar las caracteristicas de los accidentes de motocicleta y ciclomotor en Barcelona y evaluar las diferencias entre conductores varones y mujeres en estos accidentes. La gravedad de los accident…

Alteraciones posturográficas en fases agudas del latigazo cervical
2017
El control postural se logra en términos generales, a partir de la integración de la información proveniente de los sistemas visual, vestibular y propioceptivo a nivel del SNC y de su acción consiguiente sobre los arcos reflejos musculares que desencadena una acción biomecánica. La aparición de la posturografía como técnica cuantitativa para valorar el control postural ofrece muchas posibilidades para valorar patologías que cursan con clínica de inestabilidad. Con estos antecedentes, parecía necesario aprovechar las últimas tecnologías para el estudio del control postural en una patología tan controvertida y desconocida como el síndrome de latigazo cervical. Sabiendo que los pacientes afect…
Syntaxin13 expression is regulated by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in injured neurons to promote axon regeneration.
2014
Injured peripheral neurons successfully activate intrinsic signaling pathways to enable axon regeneration. We have previously shown that dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons activate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway following injury and that this activity enhances their axon growth capacity. mTOR plays a critical role in protein synthesis, but the mTOR-dependent proteins enhancing the regenerative capacity of DRG neurons remain unknown. To identify proteins whose expression is regulated by injury in an mTOR-dependent manner, we analyzed the protein composition of DRGs from mice in which we genetically activated mTOR and from mice with or without a prior nerve injury. Quantitati…
Working conditions, job strain, and traffic safety among three groups of public transport drivers
2018
Background: Working conditions and psychosocial work factors have acquired an important role explaining the well-being and performance of professional drivers, including those working in the field of public transport. This study aimed to examine the association between job strain and the operational performance of public transport drivers and to compare the expositions with psychosocial risk at work of three different types of transport workers: taxi drivers, city bus drivers, and interurban bus drivers. Method: A sample of 780 professional drivers was drawn from three transport companies in Bogota (Colombia). The participants answered the Job Content Questionnaire and a set of sociodemogra…
A DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO FOSTER MUNICIPAL POLICE STRATEGIES IN PALERMO TO CONTAIN SPEEDING AND DRUNK DRIVING
Road related fatalities kill 1,25 million people every year around the world and rank as the ninth cause of death according to some recent statistics by the WHO. Actions to reduce this phenomenon have been taken, at different institutional levels, with promising results, particularly in western societies, where the magnitude of such occurrences has been almost halved in the last decade. Nevertheless the level of attention, with regard to road safety, will have to be kept high if a further reduction of this phenomenon is to be reached. Traditional road safety-related approaches mainly focus on prevention through the constant improvement of vehicles’ safety devices and the rationalization of …
RENEB Inter-Laboratory Comparison 2021: Inter-Assay Comparison of Eight Dosimetry Assays
2023
Tools for radiation exposure reconstruction are required to support the medical management of radiation victims in radiological or nuclear incidents. Different biological and physical dosimetry assays can be used for various exposure scenarios to estimate the dose of ionizing radiation a person has absorbed. Regular validation of the techniques through inter-laboratory comparisons (ILC) is essential to guarantee high quality results. In the current RENEB inter-laboratory comparison, the performance quality of established cytogenetic assays [dicentric chromosome assay (DCA), cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay (CBMN), stable chromosomal translocation assay (FISH) and premature chromosome co…
The role of heavy vehicles in road safety: Technical improvements and training of professional drivers in EU activities
2011
This paper proposes an analysis of initiatives and measures that the EU has developed, both in terms of research and normative, in order to improve the safety of freight vehicles. The actions undertaken by the EU under the program for road safety, with particular attention to the road freight sector, the more representative, are the following: - Improving the visibility of heavy duty vehicles (HDV), - The elimination of points with poor visibility from the HDV, - Evaluation of measures to reduce accidents related to tires condition, - The standardization and improvement of initial and continuing training of professional drivers. The classification of defects which are considered to have ser…
Modeling accident risk at the road level through zero-inflated negative binomial models: A case study of multiple road networks
2021
Abstract This paper presents a case study carried out in multiple cities of the Valencian Community (Spain) to determine the effect of sociodemographic and road characteristics on traffic accident risk. The analyzes are performed at the road segment level, considering the linear network representing the road structure of each city as a spatial lattice. The number of accidents observed in each road segment from 2010 to 2019 is taken as the response variable, and a zero-inflated modeling approach is considered. Count overdispersion and spatial dependence are also accounted for. Despite the complexity and sparsity of the data, the fitted models performed considerably well, with few exceptions.…
La Prevención de riesgos laborales en el arte urbano
2017
Cuando pensamos en el mundo de los graffitis no lo solemos relacionar con la PRL, sin embargo la labor de estos artistas urbanos también se encuentra sometida a ciertos riesgos, por lo tanto deben de adoptar medidas de prevención y protección que les permita minimizar tales riesgos. El manejo adecuado de los equipos y el respeto a los datos ofrecidos por los fabricantes o suministradores de las sustancias, son imprescindibles para poder ejecutar los diseños y alcanzar el objetivo deseado de la representación gráfica de unas obras, que más allá de las afinidades o tendencias de cada persona, no dejarán indiferente al observador.
