  • Epidemiology & Public Health
    Amir Baigi et al., Epidemiology (Sunnyvale) 2017, 7:5(Suppl) conferenceseries.com DOI: 10.4172/2161-1165-C1-018 6th International Conference on EPIDEMIOLOGY & PUBLIC HEALTH October 23-25, 2017 | Paris, France GAP IN HEALTH AMONG A LONG-LIVED POPULATION Amir Baigia and Anders Holmena aHallands Hospital Halmstad, Sweden Statement of the Problem: In Sweden, the government has a platform on overall national goals for public health; to create social conditions for good health on equal terms for the entire population. The province of Halland has the highest life expectancy in Sweden. The recent health surveys in Sweden points to a noticeable better health in the county of Halland compared to Sweden as a whole. From a public health point of view, it is of interest to probe the distribution of the self-rated health among socio- demographic groups to explore if inequality in health exists even in this healthy population. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to analyze the distribution of obesity and psychosocial health in the largest municipality in Halland compared with the average for the province as a whole. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: A simple random sample of 8,429 individuals was selected from a national survey that covered all individuals in the 18–84-year age group. A postal survey was thereafter conducted (The Statistics Sweden and The Public Health Agency in Sweden). General health Questionnaire (GHQ12) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were taken in the analyses. The statistically significant socio geographical differences in health were presented as maps using GIS-software (ArcMap 10.2). Analysis of the data was related to local key codes where densely populated areas with a higher response rate were assessed as the most statistically relevant to processing.

  • Tunnels and Underground Cities
    Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art – Peila, Viggiani & Celestino (Eds) © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-38865-9 Brenner base tunnel & Isarco River underpass section: Several technical and operational solutions P. Lunardi Lunardi Geo-Engineering, Milan, Italy G. Cassani, M. Gatti & L. Bellardo Rocksoil S.p.A., Milan, Italy ABSTRACT: The Brenner Base Tunnel is part of the TEN-T SCAN-MED corridor and allows the overcoming as a natural barrier of the Alpine ranges. The Isarco River Underpass represents the southernmost construction lot and links the Brenner Base Tunnel with the existing Brenner line and the railway station in Fortezza. The section will include civil works for the two main tunnels for a total length of roughly 4.3 km, as well as two interconnecting tunnels for a total length of 2.3 km that connect with the existing railway line. Construction will be extremely complex from a technical point of view: both the main tunnels and the interconnecting tunnels will pass under the Isarco River, the A22 motorway, the SS12 motorway and the Verona-Bren- ner railway line with a minimal leeway. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2023. The paper summarizes the design choices made for the construction of the underground works, with specific reference to the construction of the Isarco river underpass tunnels. The excavation will be performed with a very shallow cover, ranging between 5–8 m, very close to the river bed. It will start from shafts on the riverbanks, after ground improvement and soil freezing.

SCC ideate a data-centered society aimed at improving efficiency by automating and optimizing activities and utilities. Information and communication technology along with Internet of Things enables data collection and with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) situation awareness can be obtained to feed the SCC actors with enriched knowledge. This paper describes AI perspectives in SCC and gives an overview of AI-based technologies used in traffic to enable road vehicle automation and smart traffic control. Perception, smart traffic control and driver modeling are described along with open research challenges and standardization to help introduce advanced driver assistance systems and automated vehicle functionality in traffic. To fully realize the potential of SCC, to create a holistic view on a city level, availability of data from different stakeholders is necessary. Further, though AI technologies Citation: Englund, C.

  • Cycling on the Coastal Road, from Nice to Genoa Cycling
    SLOWAYS SRL - EMAIL: [email protected] - TELEPHONE +39 055 2340736 - WWW.SLOWAYS.EU CYCLING type : Self-Guided level : duration : 8 days period: Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct code: ITSB190 Cycling on the Coastal Road, from Nice to Genoa - Italy 8 days, price from € 1120 The right trip for those who dream of living all year round at the seaside: you will travel in the sunshine of the Riviera Ligure, through coastal villages where at every turn you will be able to answer the call of the sea: the clear water and Mediterranean climate will let you enjoy a bathe well into autumn. The sea breeze and the smell of the sea will accompany your bicycle along the flat coasts and cycle paths made along the tracks of old railway lines, with some differences in altitude to avoid the busier roads. From the charm of the Cote d’Azur you will arrive at the narrow alleyways of villages beside the sea, following ancient Roman roads perched above the sea and paths surrounded by olive groves, until you reach the charming old districts of Genoa. Without forgetting the joys of the palate: you will enjoy fish just fished from the sea and accompanied by km zero oil, fragrant Ligurian focaccias and pasta with pesto alla genovese, and you will understand why Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most famous in the world. The tips of Valentina: Enjoy a ratatouille niçoise sitting at a table in Place Rossetti, in the heart of the old town of Nice; You will get lost in the “carrugi” (alleyways) of Parasio, the old district of Porto Maurizio, allowing yourselves to be surprised by the sudden views over the sea through the red houses; Enjoy a bathe in the clear waters of the Costa dei Saraceni, at Finale Ligure; Walk along the quay in the old port of Genoa, admiring the town from the benches of Calata Gadda.
