Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals. European Parliament, Brussels, A1GA. Wednesday 18 september 2013, 15.00hrs : speech
No full textEl texto es la transcripción de un discurso del Tonio Borg, Doctor en Derecho, en el encuentro del Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals (http://www.animalwelfareintergroup.eu/), que tuvo lugar en el Parlamento europeo el 18 de septiembre de 2013. En el texto, el autor destaca una lista de metas y propuestas en relación a aumentar el Bienestar Animal en la UE. El ponente destaca la necesidad de reforzar la educación, la aplicación y la reorientación del foco de atención del Bienestar Animal, para lograr un acercamiento más completo, "holístico", al mismo. Dicho acercamiento precisa ser proactivo y preventivo a la vez, más que meramente reactivo, como hasta ahora lo ha sido. El autor acentúa que este nuevo acercamiento, favorecerá el Bienestar Animal, al mismo tiempo que aumentará la competitividad de Europa en el sector agrícola y ayudará a promover la cohesión entre los países miembros de la Unión.This text is a transcription of presentation made by Dr. iur. Tonio Borg at the meeting of the Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals (http://www.animalwelfareintergroup.eu/) to the European Parliament on September 18, 2013. In the text, the author outlines a list of challenges and proposals in relation to improving animal welfare in the EU. The speaker highlights the need to improve education, enforcement and a reorientation of focus in order to achieve 'a more holistic' approach to animal welfare. The approach is intended to be proactive and preventive rather than a more reactive approach which has frequently been in force. The author stresses that this new approach would favor animal welfare while improving Europe's competitiveness in agricultural markets, and help foster cohesiveness within the Unio
Effects of gender differences on the subjective perceived intensity of steering wheel rotational vibration based on a multivariate regression model
No full textThis is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2009 ElsevierThe aims of this study were to determine equal sensation curves for hand-arm steering wheel rotational vibration and to investigate the effect of gender on the subjective perceived intensity of steering wheel hand-arm vibration. Psychophysical response tests of 40 participants (20 mates and 20 females) were performed using a steering wheel rotational vibration simulator using the category-ratio Borg CR10 scale procedure for direct estimation of perceived intensity. The test stimuli were sinusoidal vibrations at 22 third octave band centre frequencies in the range from 3 to 400 Hz, with acceleration amplitudes in the range from 0.04 to 27 m/s(2) r.m.s. Multivariate regression procedures were applied to the experimentally acquired data in order to establish a regression model expressing the Borg CR10 perceived intensity values as a function of the two independent parameters of the frequency and amplitude of vibration. The equal sensation curves suggested a non-linear dependency of the subjective perceived intensity on both frequency and amplitude. Females were found to provide higher Borg CR10 perceived intensity values than males (p < 0.05), particularly at the higher intensity levels above approximately 1.0 m/s(2) r.m.s and at the higher frequencies above approximately 20 Hz.Relevance to industry: For the manufacturers of steering systems and of other automobile components this study provides vibration perception curves and identifies the possible importance of gender towards the perception of vibration which arrives at the steering wheel.

The Borg Scale at high altitude
No full textIntroduction: The Borg Scale for perceived exertion is well established in science and sport to keep an appropriate level of workload or to rate physical strain. Although it is also often used at moderate and high altitude, it was never validated for hypoxic conditions. Since pulse rate and minute breathing volume at rest are increased at altitude it may be expected that the rating of the same workload is higher at altitude compared to sea level.Material and methods: 16 mountaineers were included in a prospective randomized design trial. Standardized workload (ergometry) and rating of the perceived exertion (RPE) were performed at sea level, at 3,000 m, and at 4,560 m. For validation of the scale Maloney-Rastogi-test and Bland-Altmann-Plots were used to compare the Borg ratings at each intensity level at the three altitudes; p < 0.05 was defined as significant.Results: In Bland-Altmann-Plots more than 95% of all Borg ratings were within the interval of 1.96 x standard deviation. There was no significant deviation of the ratings at moderate or high altitude. The correlation between RPE and workload or oxygen uptake was weak.Conclusion: The Borg Scale for perceived exertion gives valid results at moderate and high altitude – at least up to about 5,000 m. Therefore it may be used at altitude without any modification. The weak correlation of RPE and workload or oxygen uptake indicates that there should be other factors indicating strain to the body. What is really measured by Borg’s Scale should be investigated by a specific study
