Impacts of shift work on sleep and circadian rhythms

D.B. Boivin, P. Boudreau

Pathologie Biologie > 2014 > 62 > 5 > 292-301

Shift work comprises work schedules that extend beyond the typical “nine-to-five” workday, wherein schedules often comprise early work start, compressed work weeks with 12-hour shifts, and night work. According to recent American and European surveys, between 15 and 30% of adult workers are engaged in some type of shift work, with 19% of the European population reportedly working at least 2hours between...

Les victimes d’avalanche au Québec entre 1825 et 2009

Bernard Hétu, Kati Brown, Daniel Germain

The Canadian Geographer / Le Géographe canadien > 55 > 3 > 273 - 287

Fatal avalanche accidents in Québec (Canada) 1825 to 2009 Archival research, coroner's investigations, and newspaper searches reveal the occurrence of 43 deadly snow avalanches in Québec since 1825. Historical records indicate 73 fatalities and more than 50 injuries. Sixty percent of the victims were younger than 20 years old. More than 50 percent of the victims (38 fatalities in 12 incidents) were inside or near a residential building, usually their home, mainly in the cities of Québec and Lévis. The second‐most deadly category is recreational activities, with over 24 deaths in 20 accidents. Most of these deadly incidents occurred on very short slopes (<70 metres of relief) outside mountainous areas. Only five fatalities were related to backcountry recreational activities in highlands. The inventory of avalanche‐threatened areas has never been completed in the Province of Québec and it is likely that avalanche‐prone areas are more widespread than previously thought.

La pathologie iatrogène en réanimation pédiatrique

D. Floret, C.L. Gay

Reanimation > 2005 > 14 > 5 > 442-445

La pathologie iatrogène a fait l'objet d'un nombre limité d'études en réanimation pédiatrique, si on excepte les infections nosocomiales. L'enfant pour des raisons anatomiques et physiologiques est pourtant particulièrement exposé à ce type de problèmes. Les quelques études publiées montrent que les évènements iatrogènes sont liés aux principales techniques de la réanimation : ventilation mécanique...

COVID‐19 lockdown and traffic accidents: Lessons from the pandemic

Stephen R. Barnes, Louis‐Philippe Beland, Jason Huh, Dongwoo Kim

Contemporary Economic Policy > 40 > 2 > 349 - 368

We use a regression discontinuity design to study the effect of the COVID‐19 lockdown on traffic accidents. Based on administrative data from Louisiana, we find that the lockdown order led to a significant decrease in traffic accidents (−47%), including accidents involving injury (−46%) and ambulance (−41%). We also find evidence of heterogeneous changes in the decline of drivers involved in accidents,...

Hiding in plain sight: Vulnerability, public administration, and the case of Covid‐19 hotel quarantine

Graham Dwyer

Australian Journal of Public Administration > 80 > 4 > 1002 - 1016

I examine how failures surrounding a quarantine detention program for returned travellers from overseas brought a deadly second wave of the Covid‐19 virus into existence in Victoria, Australia. In addition to providing insights into the ways in which public administration organizations (PAO) can plan for and respond to wicked problems, I propose that they can learn to manage latent failures and equivocal...

The effect of accidents on labor market outcomes: Evidence from Chile

Francisco Parro, R. Vincent Pohl

Health Economics > 30 > 5 > 1015 - 1032

We estimate the causal effect of accidents on employment and earnings among Chilean men using event study methods and monthly administrative data. An accident of any type reduces the probability of being employed by 8.4 percentage points in the first year, by 11.2 percentage points in the second year, and by 14.8 percentage points in the third year after the accident. On average, over the three years...
