Vehicle Safety Tech & Traffic Deaths in Iraq | Dr. Husam Muslim | TEDxBaghdad
Substandard vehicle design significantly contributes to the high rate of traffic-related deaths and disabilities in Iraq. By improving vehicle safety design, it is possible to save over 5,000 lives annually and reduce disabilities by 50%. Adopting Global NCAP testing protocols and UN vehicle safety standards can play a pivotal role in reducing traffic crashes and advancing Iraq’s progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 3.6: halving road traffic deaths by 2030. Dr. Husam is an accomplished researcher specializing in Automated Driving Systems (ADS), human factors, and traffic safety. With a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Tsukuba, he has significantly contributed to defining global safety standards, publishing high-impact papers, and leading innovative experiments on driver behavior and automation. At the Japan Automobile Research Institute, he bridges cutting-edge research with real-world applications, focusing on scenario-based evaluations, traffic safety in low-income regions, and advanced driver assistance systems. Fluent in Arabic, Japanese, and English, Dr. Husam is also a dedicated mentor, educator, and collaborator, working with institutions worldwide to advance mobility safety and accessibility.

- 13:15Cristina, la regina non binaria | Cristina Prenestina | TEDxLeverano WomenStorie di persone che si trovano a sfidare i confini rigidi del genere imposti dalla società. Ispirata da Cristina di Svezia, che visse la sua vita senza conformarsi ai ruoli tradizionali di genere, Cristina porta avanti un percorso di lettura di fiabe che celebrano la diversità e l'autodeterminazione. Il suo lavoro mira a dare ai bambini e alle famiglie modelli alternativi che vanno oltre il binarismo di genere, aiutando i più giovani a sentirsi liberi di esprimere la loro unicità senza paura. Drag Queen e attivista, crede che i bambini abbiano il potere di cambiare il mondo. Ha introdotto in Italia "Drag Queen Story Hour", un progetto nato in America che educa i bambini alla diversità e l'inclusione tramite delle favole narrate da Drag Queens. Cristina “nasce” nel 2014 a Roma dove calca il palcoscenico con spettacoli di Varietà. Prende il nome dalla regina svedese del 1600: Cristina di Svezia, donna intellettuale e indipendente, rifiuta il matrimonio e lascia il trono per seguire la sua libertà. Il cognome Prenestina è dato dalla popolare via romana che le da i natali. Nel 2021 partecipa alla pubblicazione del libro illustrato “The Coloring Drag 2” scrivendone la prefazione. Nel 2023 pubblica con la Settenove edizioni "Nino il T-Rex" il suo primo albo illustrato.
