This document discusses accidents and injuries. It defines accidents as unexpected, unplanned events that may involve injury. Injuries are defined as bodily lesions caused by exposure to energy beyond physiological tolerance. Accidents are increasing globally and are a leading cause of death among those aged 10-24 years old. Road traffic accidents and drowning are major causes of death. Accidents have multiple causal factors including human factors like age, sex, and education, environmental factors like road conditions and vehicle safety, and psychosocial factors. Common types of accidents discussed are road traffic accidents, domestic accidents, industrial accidents, railway accidents, and violence. Prevention strategies proposed include data collection, safety education, promoting safety measures, and restricting alcohol and drug use.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

ROAD TRAFFIC
INJURIES
Road Traffic
Injuries
Approximately 1.35 million
people die each year as a result
of road traffic crashes
Between 20 and 50
million more people
suffer non-fatal
injuries
Many incur
disabilities as
a result of
their injury
Road Traffic Injuries
Cause considerable economic losses to individuals, their families, and
to nations as a whole
Losses arise from the cost of
treatment
Lost productivity for those killed or disabled by
their injuries, and for family members who need to
take time off work or school to care for the injured
Road traffic crashes cost most countries 3% of their gross domestic
product.
Road Traffic Injuries
Globally, road traffic
injuries are the leading
cause of death for
children and young
adults aged 5–29 years
Are the 8th leading
cause of death overall
Surpasses HIV/AIDS,
tuberculosis and
diarrheal diseases
EVERY 24

SOMEONE DIES
ON THE ROAD
Road Traffic Injuries
Low-income countries use 1%
of the world’s vehicles
Account for 13% of all deaths
High-income countries use 40%
of the world’s vehicles
Account for only 7% of all deaths
Road Traffic Injuries
Some reductions were observed in 48 middle- and high-income countries
Overall, the number of deaths increased in 104 countries during this period.
Between 2013 and 2016, no reductions in the number of road traffic deaths
were observed in any low-income country
100,000 population, 2000-2016
income category, 2016
population by WHO regions, 2013, 2016
At Risk Groups
More than half of global traffic deaths
are amongst pedestrians, cyclists, and
motorcyclists
Often still neglected in road traffic system design in
many countries
Road traffic injury death rates highest in the African region
People from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds more likely to be involved
in road traffic crashes
Even in high-income countries
At Risk Groups
◦ Males more likely to be involved in road traffic crashes
than females
◦ About three quarters (73%) of all road traffic deaths
occur among young males under the age of 25 years
◦ Almost 3 times as likely to be killed in a road traffic crash versus
young females
Risk Factors -
Speeding
◦ Increases in average speed directly related both to the
likelihood of a crash occurring and to severity of the
consequences of the crash
◦ Every 1% increase in mean speed produces a 4%
increase in the fatal crash risk and a 3% increase in
the serious crash risk
◦ Death risk for pedestrians hit by front of car rises
rapidly (4.5 times from 31 mph to 40 mph)
◦ In car-to-car side impacts, the fatality risk for car
occupants is 85% at 40 mph
Risk Factors – Alcohol and Drugs
◦ Driving under the influence of alcohol and any psychoactive drug increases the risk of a crash resulting in
death or serious injuries
◦ Risk of a road traffic crash starts at low levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and increa.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
