Commuting Accidents of Spanish Professional Drivers: When Occupational Risk Exceeds the Workplace
Javier Llamazares, Sergio Useche, Luis Montoro, Francisco Alonso
(2019). ArticleInternational Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics.
Background. Work traffic accidents are an issue both in Spain and all over the world, and specific evidence on commuting accidents is scarce. Even though both industrial safety and welfare have been improved during the last decades, the commuting accidents rate is growing worldwide. Purpose. The aim of this study was to examine and describe the characteristics of commuting traffic crashes of Spanish professional drivers. Materials and methods. For this cross-sectional study, commuting accidents suffered by drivers during the last 12 years were analyzed. Crossed and heatmap-based analyses were performed in order to establish patterns and driver-based differences among commuting crashes....
Background. Work traffic accidents are an issue both in Spain and all over the world, and specific evidence on commuting accidents is scarce. Even though both industrial safety and welfare have been improved during the last decades, the commuting accidents rate is growing worldwide. Purpose. The aim of this study was to examine and describe the characteristics of commuting traffic crashes of Spanish professional drivers. Materials and methods. For this cross-sectional study, commuting accidents suffered by drivers during the last 12 years were analyzed. Crossed and heatmap-based analyses were performed in order to establish patterns and driver-based differences among commuting crashes. Results. Commuting crashes’ features were found to be associated with demographic and job-related variables of professional drivers. Drivers’ gender, time slots (peak/off-peak hours) and the specific hour of the event explained different trends in accident severity and characteristics. Conclusions. The results of this study suggest that commuting accidents involving professional drivers differ in demographic and situational issues from general and on-duty professional drivers’ traffic crashes. Also, since in Spain commuting crashes are occupational accidents, more numerous and better actions should be taken in this regard, especially considering the association of professional drivers’ accidents with fatigue and shift-working.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Francisco Alonso
(2019). LlibreThe SAGE Encyclopedia of Criminal Psychology.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI), also known as driving while intoxicated (DWI), drunk driving, or impaired driving, refers to a conduct, which arise in the area of traffic, when the driver of a motor vehicle has consumed a certain amount of alcohol or drugs, including medicines. This consumption interfers and deteriorates the processes involved in driving as attention, sense, perception, decision-making and execution. So, it increases likelihood of experiencing a traffic accident. The consumption can be detected/measured to determine its presence/level by different methods and devices, in the first instance by law enforcement officers in checkpoints. It is considered a serious criminal...
Driving Under the Influence (DUI), also known as driving while intoxicated (DWI), drunk driving, or impaired driving, refers to a conduct, which arise in the area of traffic, when the driver of a motor vehicle has consumed a certain amount of alcohol or drugs, including medicines. This consumption interfers and deteriorates the processes involved in driving as attention, sense, perception, decision-making and execution. So, it increases likelihood of experiencing a traffic accident. The consumption can be detected/measured to determine its presence/level by different methods and devices, in the first instance by law enforcement officers in checkpoints. It is considered a serious criminal offence against road safety under laws in certain countries. Depending on some factors, law from different countries, this behavior shall be punished by specific heavy penalties (civil or penal). Given the prevalence, incidence and tragic consequences of DUI, this kind of crime is more relevant than other offences. This entry reviews road traffic injuries as a public health concern, DUI as a major risk factor for road traffic injuries, Effects of DUI, Strategies to reduce/prevent DUI and Methods used by enforcement to detect DUI.

La construcción de un modelo educativo: distorsiones, cambios y continuidades.
Ángel Sanmartín, Eliseo Valle
(2019). LlibreLa construcción de un modelo educativo: distorsiones, cambios y continuidades.
In this social and cultural community there are subtle processes of production and reproduction of knowledge that weave relationships between the main actors in the environment. The diverse contributions made by the authors maintain as a common thread the transfer of the last four decades, taking as a symbolic point of reference the promulgation of the Spanish Constitution. These forty years have shaped a path in which profound sociocultural changes have been taking shape that have affected the school institution. The set of voices participating in the work is organized around three blocks that address relevant issues of life in schools during the reference period. The first one deals...
In this social and cultural community there are subtle processes of production and reproduction of knowledge that weave relationships between the main actors in the environment. The diverse contributions made by the authors maintain as a common thread the transfer of the last four decades, taking as a symbolic point of reference the promulgation of the Spanish Constitution. These forty years have shaped a path in which profound sociocultural changes have been taking shape that have affected the school institution. The set of voices participating in the work is organized around three blocks that address relevant issues of life in schools during the reference period. The first one deals with some of the fundamental questions on which the pedagogical discourse has revolved (the reforms of the curriculum, the resistance of schools, the role of women, participation or the school model). The second set of texts reflects on the physical and institutional contexts in which the teaching and learning practices take place, approaching from different perspectives the most significant determinants of daily work in the classrooms. The third and last block hosts five stories that involve different forms to refer their own experience in one of the many areas of schools.
