This study describes the results of a nine-year study performed on injured drivers ( N = 12,806) in the Verona area of Northern Italy. Blood samples were mandatorily collected on injured drivers who were admitted to the Emergency Health Care Unit of Verona Hospital between 2009 and 2017, after they had been involved in a traffic accident. Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) determination was then undertaken using a validated head space–gas chromatography–flame ionisation detector (HS-GC-FID) method. We found that 21% of drivers tested positive for alcohol (BAC ≥0.01 g/L), while 16.8% presented with BAC levels above the Italian legal limit (>0.5 g/L). Of those who had positive BACs, about 50% presented with very high BAC levels (>1.5 g/L). Daily time distribution analyses, involving 2031 alcohol-positive drivers, showed a surge between 18:00 hours and 06:00 hours (74.3%), ...

In the agricultural sector, since 2008, policy has relied on "Moroccan Green Plan", a national strategy for sustainable development. Despite the significant efforts to develop the sector, further actions are needed to face the remaining challenges (population growth and rural migration, scarcity of resources and climate change, etc). Adoptions of innovation-driven policies as well as the introduction of modern technologies relying on valorization of research results become therefore a necessity. The objective of the study is to analyze the agricultural research publications in Morocco during 2005-2016 period based on SCOPUS database.

The objective of the study is to analyze the agricultural research publications in Morocco during 2005-2016 period based on SCOPUS database. It examines the growth of publications and citations, the collaboration patterns through coauthorship, the main productive institution and national and international collaborations. Thematic orientations, through an original classification adapted to the agricultural field, is analyzed and aligned to the priorities set by the national research strategy. This pilot study could be useful for policy makers, researchers and engineers in the country in order to devise indicators that focus on orientations, strengths and weaknesses of the agricultural research system.

In the agricultural sector, since 2008, policy has relied on “Moroccan Green Plan”, a national strategy for sustainable development. The specific objectives of this work were to identify the thematic orientations and the effects of this policy on both scientific production as well as agricultural production. Research carried out in the public agricultural research institutions of the country is contrasted with research from universities, as well as with other research done in collaboration with national and international partners. This first study examined the growth of ...

The inputs needed to develop such a kind of cooperation and the main barriers hampering the implementation of joint activities are analyzed in this paper taking into account the results of a su rvey carried out in the framework of the MIRA project. Finally some suggestions are provided to support the imp lementat ion of policies and instruments aimed at enhancing the necessary links and contributing to the establishment of a Euro-Mediterranean
