Influence of the Driver Conditions on the Injury Outcome in Front Impact Collisions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Automotive Engineering, 2011
Changes in the driver's posture and velocity caused by inertia during an emergency braking are believed to affect the injury outcome in front impact collisions. Moreover, at equivalent impact conditions, the results from real-world data analysis show the

Looking for Trouble: Pre‐Intervention Monitoring in Human and AI Driver Training

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
We compare two types of situations involving monitoring of car driving: a driving instructor overseeing a trainee driver and a safety driver overseeing the performance of autonomous vehicle (AV) software. Our focus is on instances of monitoring that precede (1) interventions that are aborted before impacting the driving and (2) actual interventions on ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

ACCOUNTING FOR BIODIVERSITY: Periphery Urbanization, Environmental Conflict, and Spatial Inequality in Monetizing the Value of Nature

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In terms of mainstream sustainability economics, market‐led initiatives aimed at biodiversity restoration represent a productive, morally conscientious choice. Under this view, efforts in areas such as biodiversity offsetting, net gain, or finance are considered effective tools for preventing or managing environmental degradation.

Interactional privilege of violence: Status and interaction in the street field

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Criminologists have long described and theorized the relationship between status, respect, and violence within urban communities. Although this finding is generally accepted within criminology, ethnographic empirical illustrations of this phenomenon are sparse.
