The article presents a theoretical analysis of cognitive, motivational and emotional components of road behavior of drivers of different sexes, due to their personal characteristics and existing stereotypes of perception of women-drivers in society. The article presents the results of empirical studies of the achievement motivation, inclination to risk and attitude to uncertainty of men and women drivers. Theoretical analysis suggests that male drivers are more risk-averse and more tolerant of uncertain situations in the traffic than women. At the same time, men in driving are more focused on achieving success, and women — on avoiding failure. An empirical study of 58 drivers (29 men and 29 women) showed that both men and women in driving demonstrate motivation for avoiding failure, however, the reasons for this are different. For women, they are linked to existing societal stereotypes about women’s ability to drive, and for men, to the complication of traffic and increased penalties for traffic violations. Male drivers risk appetite combined with a motive for avoiding failure. The study of attitudes to uncertainty revealed significant differences in the level of tolerance among drivers of different sexes, especially to the difficulty of the situation. We believe that women, due to existing stereotypes, perceive driving activity from the very beginning as more difficult than men, which also explains some of the features of their behavior on the road. The article presents recommendations on optimization of training in driving schools for drivers of different sexes

The order of traffic on the road is very important for motorists on the highway, the lack of awareness of motor vehicle users and the poor drivers of traffic discipline make the level of traffic violations in driving on the highway always increase so that the number of ticket data received by the Dumai District Court. This research was conducted to analyze and classify data violations using the k-means method to facilitate knowing the types of violations that are often violated by vehicle users. The attributes to be analyzed are the types of violations and types of vehicles. The test was carried out using the Rapidminer 5 application where the data tested was data from the Dumai District Court on December 2017, as many as 616 violations. Central cluster data consists of 3 clusters, namely C1 = Many, C2 = moderate and C3 = few who commit traffic violations. So the results of the data obtained where C1 produces 1 data, C2 gets as much as 4 data and C3 as many as 7 data. Where the type of violation that is often violated is the type of violation that does not use a helmet and the type of vehicle is a motorcycle. From the results of this study can be used or can be followed up with the holding of socialization to reduce the number of traffic violations. Keywords: Clustering Analysis, K-Means, Traffic Violations, Rapidminer

The phenomenon of traffic violations made by motorcyclists on the road is a pattern of behavior that is accustomed habit, done repeatedly and happen everyday, so as to for man aberrant culture. Then, in another case of traffic violation phenomenon is also seen as a condition of demoralization, which is interpreted as a form of the decrease to values, morality and norms in society. Where, in this case the people familiar with the rules and laws that apply, however, the rules are not well practiced in everyday life. This thesis tries to explain how cultural criminology see motorcyclists behavioral phenomena in everyday life dimension in crime and crime as culture. The method used in this research is a visual analyst criminology developed by Cecil E. Greek to display an image/photo related traffic offenses committed motorcyclists. The conclusion of this thesis is the behavior of motorcyclists present in this case as a form of crime phenomena in everyday life (crime in everyday life), and the phenomenon of crime and culture (culture as crime).

Labour market performance in Pakistan has improved markedly in recent years. This paper examines the extent to which young people have benefited from this improvement, using the labour market vulnerability framework that was recently introduced by the ILO. This framework can be used to assess the difficulties young people face on the road to decent employment, and may also serve as a basis for the development of appropriate policies and interventions. Drawing on empirical evidence from various surveys, in particular the Labour Force Survey, we conclude that vulnerability among the youth has generally been reduced since 1999-2000. Vulnerability of women has been reduced through higher enrolment rates in education, and unemployment among both men and women has declined. Far less progress has been made in reducing vulnerability among the employed, and youth still face numerous obstacles that hamper the attainment of decent employment. The paper offers recommendations on the role of labour market information in reducing youth vulnerability. JEL classification: J40, J13 Keyword: Labour Market; Youth; Pakistan

Cycling behavior remains a key issue for explaining several traffic causalities occurring every day. However, recent studies have shown how the assessment of the own safety-related behaviors on the road may substantially differ from how third parties assess them. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between cyclists’ self-reported behavior and the proxy-reported behavior that other (non-cyclist) road users perceive from bike riders. For this purpose, this study used data from two samples: (i) 1064 cyclists (M = 32.83 years) answering the Cycling Behavior Questionnaire—CBQ, and (ii) 1070 non-cyclists (M = 30.83 years) answering an adapted version of the CBQ for external raters—ECBQ. The results show how the self-reported and proxy-reported behaviors of cyclists greatly differ in terms of all behavioral factors composing the CBQ model, i.e., traffic violations, riding errors, and positive behaviors. Also, external raters (non-cyclists) are those targeting significantly riskier behaviors than those self-reported by cyclists. These discrepancies between perceived behaviors may give rise to conflicting viewpoints on the interaction between bicycle riders and other road users. Therefore, this study underscores the importance of behavioral awareness, providing highlights for future studies on the behavioral interaction between cyclists and other road users. Results can be used to improve the road safety of all road users by giving indications on self-and proxy-perceived safety-related behaviors and visibility of protective riding habits.

Current road users cannot be separated from the number of violators, therefore traffic lights are made to regulate traffic on the road. At traffic lights, there is also a zebra crossing which serves as a means of crossing the road for pedestrians. To minimize violations at road intersections, researchers designed a tool to detect traffic violations. Traffic violation detection tool is made in prototype form using a control system with Arduino nano and software. This traffic light system uses LDR and laser sensors to detect these violations by cutting the laser which sends light to the LDR. This tool is also equipped with a webcam camera that functions to photograph violations that occur and a buzzer that functions as a warning to officers and riders in the event of a violation with an average response speed of the webcam of 2.37 seconds and the average response speed of the buzzer is 0.4 seconds. . The snapshot from the webcam is saved automatically on your PC / Laptop.

Traffic violations have become a habit of the road user community, so that every time an orderly operation of the traffic on the road is carried out by the authorities, traffic violation cases are still occurring and these violations often cause traffic accidents. The research method used in this research is to use a normative and empirical approach. i.e. conducts library research by researching and collecting library materials that are specifically related to laws and regulations and books relating to law and traffic, as well as field research conducted by observing observations and direct interviews with related objects. The results showed that the forms of traffic violations that occurred were motorists breaking traffic signs, driving not using a complete safety system. Some acts and sanctions for violations which are categorized as traffic violations regulated by Law No. 22 of 2009. Factors handling obstacles to traffic violations in Siantar Traffic Police Station Siantar, namely the human factor (Human Error), the factor of inadequate road infrastructure and facilities causing traffic violations. Efforts to deal with traffic offenses at the Siantar Police Traffic Police Unit are preventive and repressive measures to take action by giving a letter of reprimand or verbally, taking action by giving a ticket.

This chapter studies magical texts. Written texts could cross the literate divide, but even so, charges of possessing magical writing were brought almost exclusively against men. Women do not seem to have participated in the written economy of witchcraft. They did, of course, join in an oral exchange in which men and women avidly contributed. Magical knowledge circulated in a variety of ways: as advice passed down the generations from parents or grandparents; as oral tradition learned from people adept in the art of healing, cursing, or prognostication; or, sometimes, through trial and error. Many of the men who were caught with written spells explained that they had copied them down from the oral dictation of a knowledgeable adept or sorcerer they met on the road. Court scribes also operated at the interface between orality and literacy when they reported the words of spells recited by illiterate witnesses. The chapter then focuses on the modes of literacy and orality that permitted and documented the animated exchange of magical expertise.

In his landmark 1942 report on the reform of social insurance Sir William Beveridge talked about the ‘five giants on the road to reconstruction’—the giants of Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor, and Idleness. This introductory chapter sets out the aims of the book, namely to measure how much progress Britain has made in tackling these five giants in the decades since Beveridge wrote, and how Britain’s social progress compares with that of peer countries such as France and Germany. Has Britain’s increased inequality been mirrored in other domains such as health, education, and housing? Have inequalities of opportunity between social classes, men and women, and different ethnic groups increased? And what have been the implications for Britain’s sense of social cohesion?
