Trata-se de uma investigação sobre as posições políticas de Jean-Paul Sartre relacionadas ao Terceiro Mundo, entre 1947 e 1979. A investigação tem dois objetivos fundamentais: estabelecer as relações possíveis entre o contexto histórico – o mundo pós-guerra, as guerras de descolonização, a emergência dos países do Terceiro Mundo e o cenário político-intelectual francês – e a trajetória de Sartre; e analisar, por meio das fontes documentais, os problemas que o Terceiro Mundo – a Guerra da Argélia (1954-1962), a Revolução Cubana (1959) e a Guerra do Vietnã (1946-1975) – colocam às posições políticas de Sartre.
De eindpresentatie ter aanloop van de overhandiging van de onderzoeks- en eindrapportage van het Fitnes In Beweging project. In vogelvlucht een greep uit de belangrijkste activiteiten van dit 2 jaar durende onderzoeksproject.
Presentation Objective: Excel in the subspecialty of Forensic Engineering.
Presentation Outcome: Learn how to perform forensic investigations, issue reports and provide expert testimony during depositions and trials.
Background: Professional Engineers more and more provide a service to lawyers, judges and juries within their field of technical competence. These professionals make up the growing number of technical experts on which our court system relies, when technical facts become too complex to be analyzed and understood by legal professionals and the general public which provides the members of the jury. In order to excel in this subspecialty of forensic engineering, one must have a basic understanding of the litigation process, how to perform forensic investigations, issue reports and provide expert testimony during depositions and trials.
Construction Accidents – Managing the Risks
The construction industry has had a disproportionately high rate of accidents for its size. According to Department of Labor (DOL) 2006 statistics, construction accounted for 7% of the U.S. workforce, but claimed 21% of all occupational fatalities and 10% of all disabling occupational injuries.
NIOSH, the National Institute for Safety and Health released statistics showing that one of every five workplace fatalities in the U.S. is a construction worker. Since construction workers handle dangerous equipment and situations on a daily basis, these accident statistics may not come as a surprise.
In 2006, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation received reports on 10,055 construction-related injuries. Despite extensive federal and state regulations designed to maintain safe worksites, 21 construction workers suffered fatal injuries in 2006 in Pennsylvania, an increase from 14 fatalities of the previous year.
This presentation will review root causes of construction accidents, OSHA’s role of “the work place safety gatekeeper” and the various duties of care for contractors and sub contractors. Identification of hazard factors affecting managing safety in assembly, erection, excavation and demolition operations in order to analyze their effect to the risk of accident occurrence.
Additionally the design professional’s opportunity and obligation to design for safety will be reviewed.
This presentation will demonstrate by review of case histories how risks can be managed and if not what liabilities can be incurred.
