The Impact

The improvement of walking contributes to maintain the minimum rate of physical activity and therefore the residents’ public health. This is while the amount of walking in daily transport of inhabitants has significantly decreased during the last decades in Temuco, Chile. In addition, the impact of socio-demographic as well as social factors on the improvement of walking behavior has been paid less attention in previous studies. This study aims to examine the contribution of socio-demographic factors and the active family environment to walking behavior as well as walking level based on three types of destinations in Temuco. The results of “Encuesta Origin Destino” (EOD) in Temuco were used to examine the objectives. It was found that a high percentage of people who walk in Temuco belong to low-income families. Moreover, most of the people who walk, do not have a driver’s license nor private cars in their household. Certain socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, driver’s license, private cars, and access to TV were found to have associations with overall walking behavior as well as walking level depending on three different destination types. Furthermore, the correlation was found between walking behavior and active family environment. These findings were discussed and their implications were addressed as well.

This study discused about the impact tl1e implementation of traffic discipline on local income based on Law No. 21 of 2009. This study approaches the number of violations associated witli the penalties for violations. Observations was conducted in the morning, afternoon and evening for 2 hours which is a solid hour passengers. While the observations made to the vehicle who commits an offense within that period. Further estimated the average per day of violation for the incident and then calculated the amount of the fine revenue in certain periods. The results of the study found that the estimate of receipts relatively large fines which indicates the first violation ever occurred that indicate the presence of non-compliance of traffic regulations. The second penalty is the appropriate option to create a deterrent effect on the offense. Fines provide benefits to local government as a source of income as well as educate tire publictransportation drivers to obey the rules. In Malaysia, a fine policy can be effective because the workers are very disciplined and a beingof the rules. On the other hand it is designed with a simple mechanism in which fines violators will pay the fine at the time of extending the driver's license. This approach is effective for improving adherence offenders while keeping the fine revenue obviously go into the treasuryaccount.Key Words: traffic violations, discipline, Law No. 21 of 2009, revenues

The Impact

Old town fringe area is changing in its spatial features, and these changes correspondingly result in variations in travel behaviors. Taking the spatial characteristics and travel behavior data of the Nanjing Old Town Fringe (OTF) area in 2010 and 2015 as an example, we conducted a comparative study for two years. First, based on the identification of the spatial range of OTF in these two years by using travel data mutation points and the Point of Information (POI) kernel analysis method, the significant change in the OTF area, from marginal areas in 2010 to non-marginal areas in 2015, was identified. Second, multiple logit models were used to evaluate the impact of the built environment and economic and social attributes of residents on the choice of travel modes, as well as the different impact factors. From the perspective of overall performance, with reference to the behavior of choosing motor vehicle travel, from 2010 to 2015, the significant correlation of factors in promoting residents to choose walking, cycling or public transit changed. Moreover, there were three different dynamic characteristics of this correlation change: (1) the correlation of factors was significant and stable from 2010 to 2015; (2) the correlation of factors was significant in 2010 but not significant in 2015; (3) the correlation of factors was not significant in 2010 but was significant in 2015. It was found that the correlated factors of fluctuation were mainly social attribute factors, for example, education, gender, age, whether having a driver’s license, etc. Therefore, in future research and practice, we need to focus on the impact of stable correlated factors (such as shortest distance to downtown, plot ratio, occupation, etc.) and factors with increasing correlations (such as bus coverage, gender, age, etc.). And the land-mix factor needs to be considered from both vertical and horizontal perspectives. This will have certain significance and help future development of OTF areas.

Objective.Our primary objective was to examine work status (e.g., job loss, changes in amount worked) and predictors of job loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods.Recently diagnosed SLE patients were enrolled in the Carolina Lupus Study between 1997 and 1999; an age-, sex-, and state-matched control group selected through driver’s license registries for the 60-county study area was also enrolled. In 2001, a followup study of both groups was conducted (median 4 yrs since diagnosis). Work history data were obtained in an in-person interview at enrollment and a telephone interview at followup.Results.Fifty-one patients (26%) and 26 controls (9%) (p < 0.0001) who were working the year before diagnosis (or for controls, a corresponding reference year) were no longer working at followup; 92% of patients compared with 40% of controls who were no longer working indicated that they had stopped working because of their health (p < 0.0001). College graduates were less likely to quit their jobs due to health compared to non-college graduates (adjusted OR = 0.27, 95% CI 0.09, 0.84). SLE patients with arthritis were 3 times more likely to have left their jobs due to health reasons compared to those who didn’t have arthritis (adjusted OR = 3.3, 95% CI 1.2, 8.8); an association was also seen with pleuritis (adjusted OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1, 4.6).Conclusion.The burden expressed as work cessation due to health, especially among lesser educated patients and those with arthritis or pleuritis, is significant even early in the disease process.

Although traffic crashes are the eighth leading cause of death in the world, and are linked to vehicle and infrastructure-related factors, crash-related fatality rates are much higher in low-income countries. Particularly, the Dominican Republic is the country with the highest accident rate in the whole American continent. Therefore, in the past few years, public agencies have been developing different measures aimed at reducing traffic fatalities, including road safety campaigns. The aim of the present study was to assess the recalling of such campaigns among the Dominican population, which may serve as an additional indicator to evaluate their effectiveness in this and other countries of the region presenting similar traffic safety issues. For this cross-sectional study, a nationwide sample composed of 1260 people (50% males and 50% females) with a mean age of 39.3 years was used. The data were collected through personal interviews. Overall, the recall of traffic safety campaigns was found to be very low (9%); male drivers who were employed, possessed a driver’s license and habitually drove were the ones who could commonly remember these campaigns. The results of this study suggest that further evaluation and follow-up could help to maximize the impact of future traffic campaigns and advertisements in the Dominican Republic, as well as in other emerging countries of the region with similar characteristics. Further, key segments of the population such as the female, young, less formally educated and non-driving populations should be also targeted for further actions in this regard.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.
