Optical sensor for remote estimation of alcohol concentration in blood stream
2013
Abstract The purpose of this manuscript is to validate our recently developed novel optical approach for extraction of remote vibration sources as a successful technique to estimate the alcohol concentration in blood stream. This technique is based on the tracking of temporal changes of reflected secondary speckle patterns produced in human skin when being illuminated by a laser beam. Since the skin’s vibrations profile is changed due to the alcohol in the blood stream, the extraction of the vibration profile can be translated into the corresponding alcohol concentration values by means of defining several parameters acting as indicators for the presence of alcohol in the blood stream. We h…
A dynamic simulation approach to frame drivers and implications of corruption practices on firm performance
2014
Corruption is a multifaceted socio-economic phenomenon widely spread - although with different intensity - all around the world. Many studies on corruption have been conducted at a country-level, but relatively little effort has been placed in evaluating its implications, in terms of both financial and competitive performance, at a firm-level. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the causal relationships underlying the effect of corruption on firm performance in order to show the different scenarios that may emerge from the combination between external (i.e., contextual conditions) and internal (i.e., organizational characteristics) forces that drive corruption. To this end, we adopt a D…
Kravas auto vadītāju darba un atpūtas laika ievērošanas saistība ar uzvedību uz ceļa
2019
Pētījuma mērķis bija salīdzināt kravas auto vadītāju uzvedību uz ceļa saistībā ar darba un atpūtas laika ievērošanu. Pētījuma izlases sastāvēja no 111 vīriešiem, kuri strādā par kravas auto šoferiem un izmanto kravas automašīnu darba vajadzībām, vecumā no 24 līdz 66 gadiem, vidējais vecums 45,43 gadi. Pētījuma dalībniekiem tika piedāvāts aizpildīt autovadītāju uzvedības aptauju (Drivers Behaviour Questionnaire, DBQ; Reason, Manstead, Stradling, Baxter, & Campbell, 1990), adaptāciju latviešu valodā veikuši V. Reņģe un I. Austers, 2007. Autovadītāji aizpildīja arī darba autora veidoto kravas auto vadītāju aptauju, kas iekļauj apgalvojumus, kas saistīti ar darba un atpūtas laiku. Pētījuma rezu…

Organisational Drivers and Challenges in Circular Economy Implementation : An Issue Life Cycle Approach
2022
Business is a significant cause of various global sustainability challenges addressed by the Circular Economy (CE), making companies instrumental in the transition from a linear economic model to a circular one. While drivers and challenges in corporate CE implementation have been researched on an organisational level, a more detailed understanding is needed regarding their contextual nature and interplay with the evolution of CE implementation in a company. Utilising issue life cycle theory, this study contributes to the literature on CE implementation in business by displaying differences in corporate CE implementation drivers and challenges, relating to the time since starting, and the …

Psychosocial Work Factors, Job Stress and Strain at the Wheel: Validation of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) in Professional Drive…
2019
Introduction: Psychosocial work environment has been related to many negative health outcomes in different workforces. However, evidence in this regard is still limited in the case of transport workers, and most of the tools used in research, often excessively generic, do not fully consider the specific key stressors and adverse issues present in the psychosocial environment of professional driving. Objective: Thus, the purpose of this study was to obtain a complete description of the validation of measurement applied to psychosocial factors at work in professional drivers, using the Enterprise version (2018) of COPSOQ-III. Methods: The data was collected from 726 Spanish professional drive…
Reported prevalence of health conditions that affect drivers
2017
Drivers’ health and fitness are essential factors in order to predict performance outcomes and to promote road safety. It is a demonstrated fact that drivers with (physical and mental) health impairments or illnesses have more probabilities of being involved in traffic crashes and suffering (or causing) several injuries. The general objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of adverse health conditions that may affect Spanish drivers and its perceived impact on driving fitness. It was used a sample of 1,200 Spanish drivers (666 men and 534 women). The only selection criteria were to be in possession of any type of driving license for vehicles other than motorcycles and to drive …
