European Traffic Accident Rates Fail To Meet Targets

 

Although the number of the deaths caused in traffic accidents in the EU a is going down, experts are still trying to find ways of reducing the number throught the EU around 25.000  fatalities per year by 2010.Traffic safety is improving but experts believe that achieving the 2010 goal will prove difficult. Recent statics show that in 2005 in the EU 41.600 people were killed in road accidents. Although progress has been made , most experts agree that this figure will have fallen in only around 32.000 by 2010 , which means that the EU target will be missed by about 7.000. On the other hand , as the amount of traffic is increasing , it is possible to argue that the situation is not really as bad as it looks . However one interprets the statics, it remains true that as time goes on . It is becoming harder and harder to reduce the figures ,especially since accident reduction schemes cost a lot of money. Many countries have tried and failed to reduce the number of accidents , and in the EU as a whole , only Sweden pursues the goal of zero accidents. Accident reduction is more difficult for newer EU members who are currently facing very rapid growth in traffic and having difficulty in building new roads and in introducing safety measures at a fast enough rate . To complicate matters , most new membersare having very little experience in dealing with the demands of heavy traffic.Experts suggest that any safety programme must also set about changing the way drivers behave. Despite what people often say it seems to be the younger generation that causes most accidents . In line with this research , many countries are introducing tougher driving tests and concentrating on the main causes of accidents : speed reckless overtaking , alcohol, and over-confidence.

Text Icluding Three Types of Tense

Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus), in the past also called phthisis, phthisis pulmonalis, or consumption, is a widespread, and in many cases fatal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[1] Tuberculosis typically attacks the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active TB infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit respiratory fluids through the air.[2] Most infections do not have symptoms, known as latent tuberculosis. About one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease which, if left untreated, kills more than 50% of those so infected.

The classic symptoms of active TB infection are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss (the latter giving rise to the formerly common term for the disease, "consumption"). Infection of other organs causes a wide range of symptoms. Diagnosis of active TB relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays), as well as microscopic examination and microbiological culture of body fluids. Diagnosis of latent TB relies on the tuberculin skin test (TST) and/or blood tests. Treatment is difficult and requires administration of multiple antibiotics over a long period of time. Social contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) infections. Prevention relies on screening programs and vaccination with the bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine.
