“…Gender differences can exist because they faced different tasks and levels of workplace safety risks, especially in traditional occupations for men [38], as construction [39]. Another gender difference is that the feminine dimension showed safer attitudes and a minimized amount of risk-taking, while the masculine dimension showed weak attitudes towards safety and an increased risk propensity [40]. According to the results shown in Table 4, once an accident happens, older workers are more likely to suffer fatal consequences.…”

Fall-from-height accidents are linked to severe and fatal consequences for impacted workers. A better understanding of the related variables is necessary to improve worker safety. This study analyzed all fall-from-height occupational accidents recorded in Spain from 2009 to 2019, selected significant variables, and evaluated the influence concerning the seriousness of the falls from height. Based on a total of 290,583 fall-from-height accidents, the study shows that a male inexperienced worker in a small company working in a non-habitual workplace is more likely to suffer fatal consequences once the accident happens. An improved knowledge of fall-from-height accidents will improve safety conditions. The workers should be trained and informed about their specific risk depending on the variables analyzed. Safety training should consider more risky profiles. Results from the current study can help identify suitable fall prevention and risk mitigation actions in safety programs for companies.

“…Another relevant barrier in the opinions of experts was the need for displacement to the meeting points (AVG = 7.75; VAR = 0.52; DESV = 0.75). This problem was addressed in previous studies [ 35 , 36 ]. They considered meeting points or hubs as possible solutions in the design of carpooling systems (instead of barriers) and some authors concluded that adding the option of meeting hubs improves system-wide savings from carpooling.…”

“…In real-world carpooling, an extra displacement to the hub is considered a disadvantage by carpoolers when they decide between carpooling or solo-driving; however, optimized hubs can promote carpooling practices [ 35 ]. A higher number of potential users could provide the best matching rates to reduce the need for meeting points.…”

“…Previous studies have identified some sociodemographic barriers, such as finding carpoolers with matching schedules, fear of sharing vehicles with strangers, and loss of freedom [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Other relevant barriers include extra travel times [ 32 , 33 ], distant meeting points [ 34 , 35 , 36 ], and loss of independence [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Sustainable mobility is a current challenge in our society. Research shows that carpooling systems are potential solutions that could mitigate environmental pollution and urban congestion and provide cost savings for their users. Despite their potential benefits, the levels of carpooling practices among some occupations could be improved. Teachers are suitable for carpooling experiences due to their specific working conditions (e.g., timetables, destinations changes, path matches); however, there is no research solely focused on teachers. Thus, the current research aimed to analyze the barriers and incentives for teachers using carpooling systems for commuting. A panel member was selected following the staticized group technique. Panelists were surveyed to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of carpooling. Results showed that fuel savings were considered by the expert panel as the most important incentive for carpooling. For short distances, carpooling was not considered the best commuting option. Additionally, the increase in travel time and loss of personal independence were identified as relevant barriers. Based on the opinions of experts, it can be concluded that carpooling barriers outweigh the incentives for the commuting of teachers. To promote carpooling practices, institutional mobility plans with advantages for carpoolers could improve the teachers’ perceptions about carpooling. Future carpooling strategies should consider these results to promote incentives and address the identified barriers.

“…The novelty of this study is that it compares students' perceptions of web-based student character assessments reviewed from gender differences. The perceptions that students have will be different from each other that can be caused by gender differences, so that gender plays a role in the modifikaSi attitudes and perceptions of students (Purnamaningsih & Ariyanto, 2016;Znajmiecka-Sikora & Sa³agacka, 2020). Different student perceptions make the analysis of students' perceptions of student character assessment based on gender differences considered important to be done in order to see the differences in perception caused by gender differences.…”

Perceptions in the Use of Web-based Character Assessment from Gnder Perspective. Objectives: the purpose of this study is to determine the perception of the use of web characters based on gender differences. Methods: This study uses a quantitative method with a survey approach. Participants were eighth grade students of SMPN 6 Batanghari with a sample of 140 students. The data collection technique used a student perception questionnaire. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics in the form of t-test. Findings: The results of the study found that the value of Sig. (2-tailed) female students in grades A and B were 0.031 and 0.020 while the value of Sig. (2-tailed) male students in grades A and B are 0.033 and 0.021. Female students reported to have better perceptions than male students. Conclusion: Students have varied perceptions about web-based character assessment and female students' perception is better than others.
