Un proceso de intervención sobre las conductas de seguridad y las condiciones de seguridad y salud en las obras de construcción
2013
Esta investigación ha desarrollado y contrastado con éxito un método de observación y control de la seguridad de las obras de construcción y un método de acción preventiva que ha demostrado ser eficaz para incrementar la seguridad de las obras, ajustado a las obras españolas de construcción en las fases de estructura y albañilería. Esta metodología es viable para las empresas (de hecho ha sido testada con la participación activa en su aplicación de sus técnicos de prevención) y aumenta significativamente la seguridad de modo tangible y demostrable, reduciendo la probabilidad de accidentes laborales. Se basa en la observación y control regular en visitas de seguridad (2 semanales aproximadam…
Stress and Turnover Intentions Within Healthcare Teams: The Mediating Role of Psychological Safety, and the Moderating Effect of COVID-19 Worry and S…
2022
Employees at healthcare organizations are experiencing more stress than ever given the current COVID-19 pandemic. Different types of stress are affecting diverse organizational outcomes, including the employees’ voluntary turnover. This is the case of cognitive stress, a type of stress that affects how individuals process information, which can influence employees’ turnover intentions. In this study, we look at the mechanisms that can reduce the adverse effects of cognitive stress on turnover intentions, particularly the role of employees’ perceived psychological safety (i.e., how safe they perceive the interactions with their colleagues are). We hypothesize that psychological safety mediat…
Estar al otro lado de la mesa. Profesionales de los servicios públicos de empleo ante los dilemas de la activación laboral
2019
Under the paradigm of activation, the Public Employment Services has been reshaped by two levels of contractualization. On one hand, the collaboration of the administration with a network of agents on the programme scheme that make up the active policies of employment. On the other hand, the unemployed person?s access to a compartmentalized offer of services and individually taking responsibility for finding work. This double contractualization reveals redefinition of lowering public responsibility faced with the problem of unemployment that this activation supposes. This paper analyses how this redesign has an impact on how professionals serve the unemployed population. This lays bare, in …
Gestione dei migranti, emergenza sanitaria e sicurezza pubblica: verso un diritto amministrativo del nemico?
2022
The article aims to verify whether in some provisions of the law and in the consequent administrative measures, above all in terms of public security, there are signs of that binary logic which characterizes the theory of the criminal law of the enemy elaborated by Jakobs, also evaluating what are the consequences and what possible remedies to consider in the face of such a possibility.
THERP and HEART integrated methodology for human error assessment
2014
Medical errors are one of the leading causes of death and injury in radiation therapy administration as reported in the literature. This point out an overall deficiency in management allowing patient treatment in the absence of suitable quality assurance processes. Clinical records of major accidental exposure events in radiotherapy show that there is a combination of factors contributing to the accident such as deficient staff training, lack of independent checks, lack of quality control procedures, and absence of overall supervision. Another finding is that training generally addresses only normal situations and does not prepare radiotherapy staff for unusual situations, resulting in a la…
Automated Railway Signs Detection. Preliminary Results
2019
Abstract Nowadays safety in railways is mostly achieved by automated system technologies such as ERTMS/ETCS. Nevertheless, on local railways (suburban and regional lines) several tasks still depend on the choices and actions of a human crew. With the aim to improve safety in such type of railways, this research proposes a system for the automatic detection and recognition of railway signs by means of the digital image processing technique. First field applications, carried out on the Italian railway network, show that the proposed system is very accurate (the percentage of correctly detected railway signs is about 97%), even at high train speeds.
An Integrated Theory for the Accumulation of Mentally Ill Offenders and the Effect of Realignment in California
2018
High mental illness prevalence in California state prisons has drawn much attention of scholars and policymakers in the past three decades. Various studies suggest that the mental illness prevalence in prison has increased from 0.14 to 0.3 from 1987 to 2014. The problem with a high concentration of mentally ill prisoners culminated when the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) was sued for the violation of inmates’ rights under the Eighth Amendment in the early 1990s. Consequently, CDCR’s health care was placed under Federal receivership to reform prison health care. Receivership is an uncommon remedy adopts by a federal court when other court orders have failed to…
Evolución a doce años de la técnica 3-S Safenectomía: Estudio de la recidiva varicosa
2015
INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: La safenectomía clásica ha sido el tratamiento quirúrgico más ampliamente utilizado para el tratamiento de las varices tronculares, que son las más severas, sin embargo, se asocia con un alto porcentaje de recidivas. La sección de la unión safenofemoral o safenopoplítea y de las venas colaterales del cayado se ha visto que puede entrañar el desarrollo de neovasos debido a la dispersión de células endoteliales y disección de linfáticos durante la intervención, además de alterar la función fisiológica de drenaje venoso de esta zona. La técnica 3s-safenectomía es una técnica mixta que combina la esclerosis intraoperatoria del cayado con espuma a través de un cateter, …
Toward farm-level health management of wind turbine systems: status and scope for improvements
2018
An outline of health management for OWFs has been detailed in this chapter with description of various important elements. The need for such farm level management is explained and benefits are discussed. Key gaps to be filled in order to realize such a system are identified. The proposed health management system is mainly based on the existing knowledge of fleet-level management in the aerospace sector. Health management is much broader than CM; there are a number of aspects beyond the prognostics capabilities that are to be designed in order to arrive at a comprehensive maintenance management scheme. A comprehensive maintenance program that is sensitive to the health of the assets and adap…
EtG Quantification in Hair and Different Reference Cut-Offs in Relation to Various Pathologies: A Scoping Review
2022
Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a non-volatile, non-oxidative, hydrophilic, and stable ethanol phase II metabolite. EtG is produced through ethanol glucuronidation by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), a phase II enzyme. EtG can be extracted from different biological matrices, including keratin ones, such as hair or nails. The purpose of this scoping review is to describe the relationship between EtG levels in hair and some of the most common and frequent pathological conditions and verify whether different reference cut-offs in relation to various pathologies have been identified in the scientific literature. In fact, in-depth knowledge of the influence of pathologies, such as diabetes mellitus…
