Sin embargo, más atrás en la línea del tiempo, los egipcios, sumerios, chinos, etc., unificaban las teorías metafísicas con las ciencias básicas para dar cuenta de los fenómenos en todas las escalas desde lo micro hasta lo macro.

  • Policy Position on Traffic Education & Driver Training: a Lifelong Journey
    POLICY POSITION ON TRAFFIC EDUCATION & DRIVER TRAINING: A LIFELONG JOURNEY SAFETY Executive Summary A safe road transport system requires tailored education and training interventions at every step of one’s life. Since human error is recognised as a major contributory factor to road casualties, Loaso Josep ©RACC Photography Mobility Clubs and the FIA have put in place programmes to ensure lifelong learning for road users. Every traffic participant should be encouraged to undertake a process of continuous personal development. FIA recommends: • The financing and conducting of awareness campaigns for parents on proper use of Child Restraint Systems • That traffic education in schools be made mandatory across the EU 28 • A revision of the driving licence systems to mandate a multi-phase retraining system whereby novice drivers have to undertake further training to validate their licence • A revision of the European Directive 2003/59/EC on periodic training of professional drivers extending the minimum list of topics to improve the effectiveness of the trainings. For instance, training on higher order skills such as self-assessment and the impact of attitudes on road risk should be addressed • A revision of the European Directive 2003/59/EC on periodic training of professional drivers to include practical training (in-vehicle, or at the very least in simulators) as a requirement • The promotion and provision of voluntary refresher and assessment driving courses tailored to senior citizens; and the provision of mobility alternatives and information to enable seniors to remain mobile while guaranteeing their safety The FIA welcomes the European Commission’s plan to continuously develop its strategy for road user education and training, as stated in the interim evaluation of the European road safety policy orientations 2011-20201.

This toolkit provides ICT organizations with a checklist of sustainability requirements; guiding them in efforts to improve their eco-efficiency, and ensuring fair and transparent sustainability reporting. The toolkit deals with the following aspects of environmental sustainability in ICT organizations: sustainable buildings, sustainable ICT, sustainable products and services, end of life management for ICT equipment, general specifications and an assessment framework for environmental impacts of the ICT sector. The authors would like to thank Jyoti Banerjee (Fronesys) and Cristina Bueti (ITU) who gave up their time to coordinate all comments received and edit the toolkit. Special thanks are due to the contributory organizations of the Toolkit on Environmental Sustainability for the ICT Sector for their helpful review of a prior draft.

  • Implementing the 2011-2020 Decade of Action in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Implementing the 2011-2020 Decade of Action in sub-Saharan Africa TECHNICAL DOCUMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE MONASH AFRICA CENTRE ROAD SAFETY FORUM Prepared by Dr Michael Fitzharris Accident Research Centre Monash University October 2010 ABSTRACT Publication date No. of pages October 2010 84 (including appendices) Publication title Implementing the 2011-2020 Decade of Action in sub-Saharan Africa –Technical Document in Support of the Monash Africa Centre Road Safety Forum Author(s) Michael Fitzharris Organisation that prepared this document Accident Research Centre, Monash University Sponsoring organisation Monash University Abstract The status of road crashes as a leading global public health priority is well established. Globally in 2007, 1.3 million people were killed. Most of these deaths occurred in developing countries and they disproportionately involve the young. By 2030, the number of people killed as a result of road crashes is forecast to increase by 52% to close to 2.2 million people killed per annum. The forecast increase in deaths in Africa is estimated to be 127%, largely as a consequence of rapid motorisation. Following a concerted campaign by a range of global actors, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2011 – 2020 to be the Road Safety Decade of Action with the goal of first stabilising then reducing the numbers killed on the road. Five pillars have been nominated as the focus of action, these being: road safety management; infrastructure; safer vehicles; road user behaviour; and post-crash care. In seeking to bring about reductions in the number of citizens killed in southern Africa, Monash University under the auspices of the Monash Africa Centre are bringing together key stakeholders from South Africa, Tanzania, Namibia, Swaziland, and Botswana to chart a way forward.
