Kokapstrādes uzņēmuma SIA "Lamela" risku analīze.
2021
Bakalaura darba “Kokapstrādes uzņēmuma SIA “Lamela” risku analīze” mērķis ir identificēt iespējamos riskus, izanalizējot to iestāšanās varbūtību un zaudējumus, kā arī izstrādāt iespējamos risku mazināšanas vai novēršanas pasākumus. Darbā pētījumā tika identificētas 11 risku jomas, kur pēc ekspertu vidējiem varbūtības novērtējumiem un attiecīgi iespējamajiem vidējiem seku novērtējumiem tika identificētas risku jomas ar visaugstākajiem rādītājiem. Politisko, ekonomisko un finanšu risku jomas pēc ekspertu novērtējumiem ir ar visaugstāko iestāšanās varbūtību. Darba autors piedāvā risku mazināšanas stratēģiju pasākumu plānošanu. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no 21 attēliem, 11 tabulām, 2 pielikumiem. A…
Are subjective outcomes a “missing link” between driving stress and risky driving behaviors of commuters? Assessing the case of a LMIC
2023
Despite the efforts made by different stakeholders, most of Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) continue to systematically report very negative road safety outcomes. In fact, in countries like Colombia, the rate of deaths from traffic crashes has increased in recent years. One of the most affected collectives in this regard -and at the same time one of the least addressed in specialized literature- are driving commuters, which are commonly exposed to several types of threats and stressors configuring an “everyday risk” potentially impairing their health and safety. This study aimed to assess whether there exists an indirect path -mediated by subjective outcomes- linking driving stress a…
Paysage et risque sanitaire - Le cas de l'echinococcose alvéolaire. Approche multiscalaire
2005
Echinococcus multilocularis is a parasite of public health importance causing the fatal zoonotic disease alveolar echinococcosis. The parasite's eggs are dispersed in the environment through the fox faeces. Epidemiological issues associated with the disease led to the monitoring of the endemic status in foxes in France and in Europe. Fox faeces collected in the field were tested for the presence of the parasite and assembled in a georeferenced database. GIS-assisted analysis investigated relationships between landscape characteristics and potential risk. Three scale levels were successively explored. In the french Doubs département located in a high endemicity area, binary logistic regressi…
Défricher les chemins vers l'entreprise responsable, le cas de la prévention des Risques Psychosociaux
2017
How to formalize new concepts and / or build new management tools that are consistent with an responsible approach? Through the field study of the prevention of psychosocial risks at work (PSR), our work illustrates the difficulty faced by researchers and practitioners in the context of a responsiblecorporate approach. The multiple possible approaches of the prevention of PSR are all ways leading to management choices with contrasted methods and results. That makes it necessary for researchers and practitioners to position themselves upstream from these choices.
Environmental hazard and water quality: the River Platani basin
2007
The River Platani, situated in the western side of Sicily, is one of the greatest rivers of the island. It runs for about 103 Km and the basin extends to about 1,784.9 Km. It rises near Santo Stefano Quisquina (Ag); the river flows to Capo Bianco (Ag) ends in the Mediterranean Sea. The morphology of the basin is predominantly characterized by rises of modest entities with slopes sweet or calanques. In the containing gypsum and carbonatic stony heaps are diffused the karst phenomena. In the Platani basin some mines are located of rock salt and potassium salts; today the mines are closed after a long activity and they interact with the geomorphology of the territory and on the water quality o…
Standardization of Road Danger Signs in the European Union
2015
The aim of this research is to find a solution for the standardization of road signs in the EU zone by a comparative analysis of different national sign systems to establish a common set from a single country. This work is based on the idea that road sign standardization might increase the safety level of transnational journeys and foster the relationships among the various members of the EU Community. This paper presents the outcome of the first step of the research, which focuses on the harmonization of danger signs. In more detail, a multicriteria approach is applied to rank 19 EU Member States on the basis of three main aspects: the installation cost of new signs, new sign learning issu…
"Rotaļspēle kā 5-7 gadus vecu bērnu sociālo prasmju veicinātāja"

Darba mērķis: izpētīt vecākā pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu sociālo prasmju veidošanos rotaļspēles darbībā. Problēmas būtība: Pirmsskolas periodā bērniem problēmas sagādā nepietiekami attīstītas sociālās prasmes. Problēmas sagādā uzturēt kārtībā vietu, kur bērns rotaļājas, apģērbu, savstarpējo attiecību veidošana, kā arī patstāvīga sava darba organizēšana. Rotaļas darbībā bērnos veidojas emocijas, pārdzīvojumi, kā arī attīstās sociālās prasmes. Pētījuma metodes: teorētiskā metode, empīriskā metode. Darba rezultāti: Bērnu sociālās prasm…
Safety diagnostic method in urban circular intersections
2004
The available knowledge of traffic safety at roundabouts is not a complete reference for geometric design; where there are organizational schemes for junctions characterized by a geometric design, quite different driving behaviours are required from those that are observable at roundabouts. This is very frequent in urban areas, where the existing constraints, particularly physical ones, often render it necessary to make “compromise choices” relating to one or more geometric features of the roundabout (central island shape, circulatory roadway width, symmetry and number of the arms, entry width, etc). The objective of this study is to explain the accident phenomenology of this kind of road s…
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Risk of Serious Ventricular Arrhythmias: A Prospective Cohort Study.
2019
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, the relationship of CRF with risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is unknown. We aimed to assess the prospective association of CRF with the risk of serious VAs. Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake, was assessed using a respiratory gas exchange analyzer in 2299 middle-aged men in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort. We corrected for within-person variability in CRF levels using data from repeated measurements 11 years apart. During median follow-up of 25.3 years (interquartile range, 18.7-27.2 years), 73 serious VAs were recorded. The age-…
Gut microbiome and atrial fibrillation - results from a large population-based study
2023
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important heart rhythm disorder in aging populations. The gut microbiome composition has been previously related to cardiovascular disease risk factors. Whether the gut microbial profile is also associated with the risk of AF remains unknown. Methods We examined the associations of prevalent and incident AF with gut microbiota in the FINRISK 2002 study, a random population sample of 6763 individuals. We replicated our findings in an independent case–control cohort of 138 individuals in Hamburg, Germany. Findings Multivariable-adjusted regression models revealed that prevalent AF (N = 116) was associated with nine microbial genera. Incident AF (N = 5…
