“…The presence of an income gap between men and women, with women earning less, also accounts for the higher use of public transportation modes among women. 5 The high frequency of pedestrians and passengers among women road crash admissions was a significant finding as pedestrians and passengers are more exposed on the road and, therefore, more vulnerable to severe injuries upon occurrence of a road crash. This highlights the vulnerability women face on the road every time they travel.…”

“…1,4 In addition to these growing concerns, studies show that transportation is gendered, implying that women and men differ in transportation use and methods. 5 Therefore, it is likely that women and men will also show different trends and characteristics of road crash injuries. The differences in characteristics not only affect the immediate factors leading and surrounding the occurrence of injury, but also have implications on disability experiences and socio-economic situations.…”

Introduction. Road traffic accidents are a growing public health burden, especially in the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). With resource scarcity, road traffic injuries may lead to poor quality of life among survivors, or deaths at worst. Victims of crashes involving transportations are gendered; therefore, there may be differences in the trends and characteristics of injuries sustained by men and women related to road crash. Objectives. This study aimed to determine the factors related to severity of road crashes among women road users in the Philippines from 2008 to 2017. Methods. We conducted a retrospective review of clinical records of women patients involved in road crash at the Trauma Division, Department of Surgery of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) for the ten-year period, January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017. Data were extracted from the electronic patient records in Integrated Surgical Information System (ISIS). Results. From 2008 to 2017, 926 of the road crash victims brought to PGH were women. There was an increasing trend, with the years 2015 to 2017 accounting for half of the total cases (55.62%). The highest cases of women patient admissions were also recorded during the months of June and July (5.61%). The CALABARZON region (11.23%) and National Capital Region (8.21%) had the highest admissions. The patients were most commonly pedestrians (12.20%) and involved in collisions (13.50%) or vehicle involvement (13.17%). The most common vehicle involved was a motorcycle (9.72%) followed by car and vans (1.62%). Only a small proportion of women patients used helmets (3.33%) and seatbelts (0.12%). The median length of hospital stay of women patients was 5 days. The most commonly sustained injuries among patients were multiple (83.65%), external (43.72%), extremity (33.15%), head and neck (23.47%), and face (21.58%) injuries. Among these, injuries to the extremity had the highest average length of hospital stay (16.04 ± 31.28 days) while external and head and neck injuries had the shortest (10.81 ± 33.42 days). Multinomial regression showed that women patients who suffered from head and neck, and abdominal injuries had increased odds of dying by 4.94 times (CI: 2.158-11.302, p < 0.05), and 3.33 times (CI:1.235-9.02, p < 0.05), respectively, compared to those who did not suffer said injuries. Conclusion. There is a significant number of women involved in road crashes in the Philippines, and therefore, there is a need for directed policies on female road users as vulnerable road users.

“…Research in the Scopus Database for "electric vehicle" and "meaning*" has returned 17 papers. The content was related to environmental issues [11,12]; technological aspects [13][14][15]; urban development, infrastructure, and policies [16][17][18][19][20]; and cultural issues, including identity questions such as gender and status, for example [11,[21][22][23]. Although V2G is mentioned [24] and is aligned with the content of this article when it declares that e-cars "operate as 'vehicles' when drivers need them but switch to 'storage sources' when connected to the power grid", the focus relies on business models.…”

The Meaning of Electric Cars in the Context of Sustainable Transition in Brazil

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The transition from fossil-fuel cars to those powered by electricity seems to occur differently in Brazil compared with what has been observed in other countries, where it is motivated by the goal to reduce CO2 emissions and the need to reduce dependence on fossil-fuel imports. At present, fleets are reduced, values are high, and the infrastructure is incipient. This article presents a problematization of the local scenario and the results of a survey with local consumers. The goal is to determine whether this market tends towards a scenario where an electric car is perceived as a substitute for a fossil-fuel vehicle, with new technology but the same function (transportation) or if it tends towards a reinterpretation, seeing integration with the electricity grid. The results indicate gaps and opportunities in service design, public policies for smart cities, and new ICTs associated with smart grids.

“…Fuente: Elaboración propia Las mujeres están más dispuestas a introducir criterios ambientales en el diseño de los espacios verdes que los hombres. Las mujeres y hombres interactúan de manera diferente con el medio ambiente, diversos estudios apuntan que las mujeres contaminan menos que los hombres, y muestran comportamientos menos dañinos con el entorno (Emakunde, 2014: Kawgan-Kagan, 2020.

El propósito del trabajo fue explorar la opinión, el uso y la frecuentación hacia los Espacios Verdes Urbanos Públicos (EVUPs) por Técnicos Municipales y Ciudadanos. Se diseñó un cuestionario online, obteniendo una muestra de 128 Técnicos Municipales y 1.168 personas de América Latina. Se utilizó el test de Tau-Kendall para establecer relaciones y análisis de regresión logística, para estimar la importancia de las variables asociadas con la frecuentación. Los resultados muestran que los Técnicos demandan formación en paisajismo sostenible. Los Ciudadanos encuestados frecuentan los EVUPs mientras estén bien cuidados y mantenidos. Se concluye que una mayor calidad de los EVUPs ayudaría a mejorar la vida urbana.
