Policy-makers are confronted with complex problems that require evaluating multiple streams of evidence and weighing competing interests to develop and implement solutions. However, the policy interventions available to resolve these problems have different levels of supporting scientific evidence. Decision-makers, who are not necessarily scientifically trained, may favour policies with limited scientific backing to obtain public support. We illustrate these tensions with two case studies where the scientific consensus went up against the governing parties’ chosen policy. What mechanisms exist to keep the weight of scientific evidence at the forefront of decision-making at the highest levels of government? In this paper, we propose that Canada create “Departmental Chief Science Advisors” (DCSAs), based on a program in the UK, to help complement and extend the reach of the newly created Chief Science Advisor position. DCSAs would provide advice to ministers and senior civil servants, critically evaluate scientific work in their host department, and provide public outreach for the department’s science. We show how the DCSAs could be integrated into their departments and illustrate their potential benefits to the policy making process and the scientific community.

Aims, Objectives and BackgroundAcute wheeze is one of the commonest reasons for childhood Emergency Department (ED) attendances. Ongoing recovery following discharge should be supported with robust safety-netting advice including advice for ongoing bronchodilator use. Evidence for recovery bronchodilator dosing is lacking, likely leading to variation in advice across the UK and Ireland.This study aimed to describe discharge practices, examining consistency and quality of safety-netting advice (including bronchodilator plans) when discharging children with wheeze or asthma, and identify opportunities for improvementsMethod and DesignThis two-phase study was conducted across PERUKI registered sites between June 2020 – September 2021. Phase 1 consisted of single site survey responses regarding departmental discharge practices for acute wheezy presentations. During phase 2, discharge instructions provided for caregivers underwent formal review. Data abstraction tools were developed based upon existing literature regarding written wheeze safety-netting information, BTS/SIGN 2019 asthma guidelines, NICE safety-netting recommendations and the BTS Asthma Discharge Bundle.Abstract 1804 Table 1Analysis of written safety-netting information (n=61)Type of leaflet1.

Annotation:

Serving as a clinical department chair in an academic health center is an increasingly complex and difficult position. In 2014, the Association of Pathology Chairs engaged former chairs to assist its members by establishing an ad hoc committee of “Senior Fellows,” which then became a permanent Senior Fellows Group. The Senior Fellows Group currently includes more than 50 former chairs, many of whom subsequently served as deans, medical center executives, and in other leadership roles. The primary mission of the Senior Fellows Group has been to provide advice, consultation, and mentoring to members of the Association of Pathology Chairs, especially new chairs and faculty interested in leadership roles. All new chairs are asked if they wish to select or be assigned a Senior Fellow advisor. Each Senior Fellow is listed on the Association of Pathology Chairs website with the areas of advice they are willing to provide, which include: “on-boarding” issues and opportunities facing a new chair; strategy (eg, departmental priorities, mission balance); administration (eg, financial, operational); institutional reviews of chairs/departments; interaction with institutional leaders (eg, other chairs, deans, hospital leadership); fundraising; faculty management (eg, recruitment, retention, annual evaluations, productivity, dismissal); and personal issues (eg, work–life balance, stepping down, retirement). The Senior Fellows Group also has participated actively in essentially all Association of Pathology Chairs programs, committees, fundraising, and projects. The organized structure and function of the Senior Fellows Group has been of significant value to the membership of the Association of Pathology Chairs, as well as to the participating former chairs, and may provide a model for other academic organizations to utilize this important resource.

Annotation:

This study examines the concept of intra-organizational links as a way for boundary spanners to bring into the project group the information needed to deal with task uncertainty. Several studies have shown that heterogeneous groups are superior to homogeneous groups when novel or creative solutions need to be developed to deal with tasks characterized by high task uncertainty. For boundary spanners in engineering project groups, it is proposed that cross-departmental technical advice links are another source of the information needed to deal with task uncertainty. An empirical test supports the proposition that for high-performing project groups, boundary-spanning technical advice links may compensate for a lack of internal group heterogeneity and vice versa. This is not the case for low-performing project groups. Implications of these finding are presented, including the direction that the open innovation research stream might take to address the findings of this study.

The concept and applications of computerized information systems for the management of urban trees are reviewed. Among their uses are landscape planning, choosing species to be planted, organizing work on trees, departmental planning and evaluation, and public relations. Five types of data required for these purposes pertain to the location of trees, tree characteristics, site characteristics, actions recommended, and work completed. Methods for handling data are reviewed including collection, processing, storage retrieval, and updating. Computer equipment and software options are discussed, particularly microcomputers. Advice is offered on installing a management information system for urban trees and for using it effectively.

These departmental guidelines at last revise advice of the 1968 vintage—that all parasuicides should be admitted to hospital and assessed by a psychiatrist. Of course this was never achieved, nor even attempted in many areas. It is a welcome set of new recommendations, therefore, which will help ensure that what actually happens is done well. It is great credit to undergraduate medical teachers that such confidence can now be expressed in newly qualified doctors carrying out these psychosocial assessments. It recognizes that suitably trained nurses and social workers can assess and manage aftercare of these patients quite competently.

Introduction A medication error is a failure in the treatment process that leads to, or has the potential to lead to, harm to the patient. In the hospital OPD, errors can occur in deciding on the medication to be prescribed (prescribing error) or in writing the prescription (prescription error). Materials and Methods We analyzed 100 prescriptions and case sheets in the OPD of ENT department in a tertiary medical college hospital for a period of one week for errors and assessed the perceptions and attitudes of the residents of the department using a questionnaire. Result Several prescription writing errors were found, primarily failure to document non pharmaceutical patient advice and use of generic names. Four prescribing errors were noticed which did not need urgent intervention. Discussion Failure modes and effects analysis was done to rank the failures modes; and causes for failure were elucidated using Ishikawa Diagram. Recommendations for preventing errors were made based on these results. Conclusion This study illustrates the use of management techniques to identify errors and formulate appropriate preventive responses. Such techniques should be a part of ongoing departmental management; and they provide insights into improving resident training in an ENT residency program.

ABSTRACT This essay addresses key needs for research in five areas related to developing and utilizing accounting faculty: faculty development (the backgrounds of who enters academia, how these individuals are trained in doctoral programs, and what advice is given to them), faculty management (the ongoing performance measurement and reward systems that are applied to individual faculty members), faculty portfolio (who provides administrative oversight, how workloads may vary across individuals, and how faculty are utilized), departmental culture (broader issues of culture), and academic freedom (the climate of academic freedom). Within each area, we pose research questions designed to provide faculty members and administrators with insights to enhance the development and utilization of accounting faculty.

La dématérialisation des procédures est un fait général qui revêt une portée spécifique en matière de droits sociaux. En matière d’aide sociale, ces droits s’adressent à un public vulnérable qui peut cumuler des facteurs de difficultés. La dématérialisation des procédures qui se traduit par l’absence de guichets et d’interlocuteurs, se déploie sans que la particularité des droits sociaux ou de la vulnérabilité des personnes concernées ne soient prises en compte. Les potentialités du numérique permettent d’envisager des moyens pour renforcer l’accès aux droits sociaux desdites personnes. Néanmoins, ces solutions constituent une forme d’incertitude quant à l’effectivité des droits sociaux. Il en va particulièrement ainsi des plateformes qui constituent des interfaces entre le demandeur ou le bénéficiaire de l’aide sociale et l’autorité qui doit en assurer la garantie et le suivi, tels les conseils départementaux. Le caractère innovant de ces outils ne doit pourtant pas faire perdre de vue leur fonction sociale initiale. Si un encadrement plus inclusif des pratiques se développe, le cadre juridique actuel semble toutefois être mobilisé en faveur du numérique (dématérialisation, ouverture des données publiques, mise en place de divers algorithmes, etc.). À cet égard, le rapport entre l’accès aux droits sociaux et le numérique dévoile des points de divergences eu égard à l’organisation de proximité des conseils départementaux, à la sensibilité des données concernées, aux conséquences de l’automatisation des décisions administratives individuelles et à la valeur économique de la donnée. Dès lors, la posture adoptée dans le cadre de cette recherche consiste à mettre en exergue l’ensemble des conditions permettant d’assurer, face à ces évolutions, le respect des droits sociaux
The dematerialization of administrative procedures is a general fact that has a specific scope in terms of social rights. When it comes to social assistance, these rights are aimed at a vulnerable public that can combine difficulty factors. The dematerialization of administrative procedures, which results in the lack of offices/desks and interlocutors, is deployed without the particularity of social rights or the vulnerability of the persons concerned being considered. Consequently, the desired objective of strengthening access to social rights through the potential of digital technology quickly gives way to uncertainty about the effectiveness of social rights. This is particularly the case in the context of platforms that constitute interfaces between the applicant or the beneficiary of social assistance and the authority that must ensure and monitor it, such as departmental councils. The innovative nature of these tools must not, however, lose sight of their initial social function. While a more inclusive framework of practices is developing, the current legal framework seems to be mobilized in favor of digital (dematerialization, open data, algorithms, etc.). In this respect, the relationship between access to social rights and digital reveals differences such as the local organization of departmental councils, the sensitivity of personal data, the consequences of automating individual administrative decisions and the economic value of data. Therefore, the position adopted in this research is to highlight all the conditions allowing to ensure the respect of social rights in the face of these changes

Background: About 800,000 people are risky drinkers in Sweden and the alcohol consumption has increased around 30% during the last 6 years. In order to counteract the negative effects of drinking there is a need to implement preventive measures at various levels in society. One place where risky drinkers could be identified is the healthcare setting. More than 10% of the visits at emergency departments and 20% of the injuries have been found to be alcohol‐related. So far, very few risky drinkers attending emergency departments receive advice about sensible drinking although there is good research evidence of the efficacy of such advice. Aim: The main aim was to explore the effects of a simple alcohol preventive routine in emergency care on staffs´ attitudes towards alcohol prevention and injury patients´ drinking pattern. Material and methods: A screening and simple advice routine was introduced at the emergency department of Motala County hospital. The staffs´ attitudes were explored by interviews with 12 staff members before the introduction and in 6 follow‐up interviews after a year. All the triage staffs´ attitudes were also measured by a questionnaire before the start of the routine and after 6 months. During the first 6 months of the routine 878 injury patients between 16 and 70 completed an alcohol screening questionnaire. During the next 6 months 647 patients received written advice about sensible drinking after having completed the screening questionnaire. A total of 619 patients included in the 12 months study period were followed‐up by telephone interview and changes in drinking pattern were analyzed. After a further 6 months of intervention a total of 2151 patients had been completing the questionnaire during the total study period of 18 months. The association between drinking pattern and different injury variables was analyzed in order to identify special risk groups and situations. Results: The staff was generally positive to alcohol prevention before the routine started and it was completed as intended. After 6 months of screening the staffs´ role legitimacy and perceived skills had increased. Despite of a further positive change in attitudes towards alcohol prevention the staff was uncertain after the study period whether emergency departments are appropriate settings for alcohol prevention. A total of 9% of the women and 31% of the men attending the emergency department for an injury were defined as risky drinkers. One single item in the questionnaire, concerning frequency of heavy episodic drinking, identified the majority of risky drinkers. In the cohort of patients,who was only screened, 34% was no longer engaged in heavy episodic drinking after 6 months and in the cohort that received written advice in addition to the screening the proportion was 25%. The latter group also increased readiness to change by 14%. The proportion of risky drinkers was higher among injury patients, 21% compared to 15% in the general population in the cathment area. This was mostly explained by a higher proportion of young men in the study group. When drinking pattern was compared, both risky and non‐risky drinkers proved to be significantly more likely than abstainers to be injured in amusement locations, parks, lakes or seas and during play or other recreational activities, when controlling for age and sex. Nine percent of the injury patients reported that they believed that their injury was related to alcohol. Half of this group was non risky‐drinkers. Conclusions: The triage staff performed the intervention as agreed, and in some aspects, which could facilitate further development of alcohol preventive measures, their attitudes changed positively. However, it appears difficult to expect alcohol preventive measures to involve more of the staff’s time than the routine tried, and other practical solutions have to be evaluated. A question about frequency of heavy episodic drinking identified the majority of risky drinkers and could be used as a single screening question. There was a reasonable reduction in heavy episodic drinking among the injury patients. The lack of a control group makes it difficult to fully explain whether this change is a result of the injury per se, the screening and the written advice procedure or a natural fluctuation in the patients´ drinking pattern. More studies are needed in order to establish the minimal levels of intervention in routine care that is accepted by the staff, and has a reasonable effect on risky drinkers’ alcohol consumption.

Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of advance care planning protocols with hospitalization, rehospitalization, and emergency department use rates in U. S. home health agencies (HHA). Background. Since 2003, CMS has required HHAs to report on quality outcomes such as hospitalization, rehospitalization, and emergency department use rates, made publicly available online. Advance care planning (ACP) is a conversation about beliefs, goals, values, future treatment choices, and designation of a surrogate decision-maker, that someone has in advance of a health crisis. Most existing studies on ACP have taken place outside of HHAs among populations with serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, dementia, and end stage renal disease. Meanwhile, the U.S. home health population is living longer with chronic conditions such as pulmonary and cardiovascular illnesses. Effective January 1, 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation implemented the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model among home health agencies (HHAs) in nine states representing each geographic region in the United States. Agencies in these states began competing on value in the HHVBP model, and reimbursement rates began to be tied to quality performance (innovation.cms.gov). As part of HHVBP, CMS implemented an additional process-level mandate requiring them to report on ACP, though this data is not publicly available. It is currently unknown how ACP protocols in HHAs may affect agencies’ overall rates of acute care services use. Methods. Electronic surveys about ACP protocols were distributed to HHAs. Existing data about demographics, diagnoses, hospitalization, rehospitalization, and ED use were accessed online via CMS websites. Descriptive and regression analyses were conducted using the electronic survey results and the existing data. Results. Associations between the variables were observed and compared to the hypotheses. Statistical significance was found in the relationship between ACP protocols and hospitalization, where one increased the other increased. Several trends were found: Agencies with increased total percentage of cardiac and pulmonary diagnoses tended to have increased hospitalization rates; agencies with increased average age of patients tended to have increased ACPP scores; and agencies with increased proportion of Black patients tended to have higher hospitalization rates.

This Master Thesis is the research done in the country of Rwanda. The project leads to study the climate of this country in order to establish whether this climate could be used to produce energy from air and to implement the first wind turbine for serving the nation. After an introduction about the historical background of wind power, the thesis work deals with assessment of wind energy potential of Rwanda in focusing of the most suitable place for wind power plants. The best location with annual mean wind speed, the rate of use of turbine with hub height for an annual production per year, the mean wind speeds for 6 sites of Rwanda based on ECMWF for climatic data for one year at relief of altitude of 100m and coordinates are reported too. The result of energy produced and calculations were done based on power hitting wind turbine generator in order to calculate Kinetic energy and power available at the best location to the measurement over the period of 12 months, that could be hoped for long term. With help of logarithmic law, where wind speed usually increases with increasing in elevation and the desired wind speeds at all 6 sites were used. The annual energy production was taken into account at the best site with desired wind speed at the initial cost of turbine as well as the cost of energy (COE).However, with comparison of the tariff of EWSA, the price of Wind designed in this Research per kWh is cheaper and suitable for people of Rwanda.

It’s a very important issue both for industry and academic professionals if a well-educated person with the equivalent practical ability to career. However, most high-school graduates do not fulfill his own ability and interest and incapable to choose a department which is best for him. Therefore, they follow the formers’ choice to an unsuited department then waste four year college. This research collected relevant factors for choosing department, and integrating expert''s questionnaire and student’s e-portfolio to build an e-Adviser system which can guide students selecting department. The questionnaires in this system include the Interest Inventory of CEEC and the Lai’s Personality Test. Therefore, the system can provide objective factors which generalize the interest, personality characteristic and e-portfolio of students. The school advisers can support their department selection decision better.

Common career test tools include the UCAN University Career and Competency Assessment Network of the Ministry of Education, the nine planet competency tests of the Human Resource Agency, and work temperament test of the Ministry of Labor. Although these test tools have been widely used, the test results of each tool for those who are looking for a job, it is still not possible to use this information effectively to find a suitable career. Based on the above questions, this paper establishes career testing tools, taking into account many typical and atypical factors, and then use Neural Network establishing a predictive model to complete career testing tools. This paper will be divided into two phases, and the key factors will be selected in the first phase. Identify the factors of the adaptation tool and screen them in three ways: expert consensus method, weighted average method, and TOPSIS method. The second stage uses the eight key factors selected in the first stage to collect data. The R language performs Neural Network model calculation to find the best hidden layer to construct the model. The final eight key factor data yields get accuracy of 50%. The test tool of this paper is different from the test of the single factor in the previous career test tool, and narrows the scope of the result recommendation to the suitable career, so that the result can more accurately describe the suitable occupational field of the subject. Those who are interested in the career test field and career counselors can refer to the atypical factors used in this paper as different test methods. For the school, the same method can be used to predict the personality of each department and help students choose the department.

Rwanda has considerable opportunities development energy from hydro sources, methane gas, solar and peat deposits. Most of these energy sources have not been fully exploited, such as solar, wind and geothermal. As such wood is still being the major source of energy for 94 per cent of the population and imported petroleum products consume more than 40 per cent of foreign exchange. Energy is a key component of the Rwandan economy. It is thus recognized that the current inadequate and expensive energy supply constitutes a limiting factor to sustainable development. Rwanda’s Vision 2020 emphasizes the need for economic growth, private investment and economic transformation supported by a reliable and affordable energy supply as a key factor for the development process. To achieve this transformation, the country will need to increase energy production and diversify into alternative energy sources. Rwandan nations don’t have small-scale solar, wind, and geothermal devices in operation providing energy to urban and rural areas. These types of energy production are especially useful in remote locations because of the excessive cost of transporting electricity from large-scale power plants. The application of renewable energy technology has the potential to alleviate many of the problems that face the people of Rwanda every day, especially if done so in a sustainable manner that prioritizes human rights.

AbstractThe survey in the development departments shows a great need for structured advice during the development process including a strong interest in supporting consulting services. A competent supervision from an independent consultant from outside the respective area is recommended for achieving continuous documentation throughout the development process according to the duty of care. Most respondents would like to have a point of contact or personal contact person, who will always be on hand with competent technical or legal advice and assistance for any questions or problems that arise. In the case of a developer, guidance, sense and purpose for the benefit of the individual developer are primary motivations. This means that a structured guideline will only be used with conviction if it is perceived as an advantage. The author’s experience in connection with the processing of product liability cases lead to the following general questions as a consultant to the development process: 1. How carefully are the tasks of development, production and marketing implemented? 2. What is expected beyond the legal requirements? 3. Will possible damage be avoided or its effect reduced if another design is used? 4. How does the system behave in comparison to the competitors (other car manufacturers)? 5. Were preventive and comprehensible warnings made available to prevent possible damage? A final consulting concept (a checklist of 101 questions in Appendix B) provides guidelines and requirements.

AbstractPFM/IC has a major impact upon the role and responsibilities of the head of finance. The role extends well beyond that of bookkeeper and financial adviser. An important element of the role is to create a financially aware management and to act as the key financial adviser to management. This will require the extension of the head’s technical skills. The head of finance should also be concerned with the longer run financial resilience of the organisation and should be prepared to challenge any proposals, whether made by operational management or policy makers which might undermine that resilience. The head should also be prepared to challenge proposals which did not conform with any ministry of finance rules, for example, returns on capital investment. A key relationship of the head of finance would be with the top operational management official, the state secretary or equivalent. The head should be a member of the top management team, where one exists, of the organisation.

Abstract While it is important for a PI to know what to do, and when and how to do it in applying for grant support, it is also valuable to know where the critical decision points are in the process. This will avoid time-consuming delays in the processing and review of applications. Because so much depends on the award of a grant, useful advice from experienced researchers and administrators should be sought. Where appropriate, the completed draft of the application should be discussed with knowledgeable senior faculty members of the department. There may be a departmental publications committee organized to approve the submission of applications as well as research papers for publication.

Abstract Assuring that public policy produces intended public benefits is a persistent challenge for state and federal governments. Policy impact evaluations in human services consistently point to little or no population benefits. This chapter describes Active Implementation as the missing link in the policy to administration to service chain and provides a more purposeful and hopeful approach to public policy designed to improve enactment in practice. Active Implementation is an evidence-based approach to assuring the full and effective use of evidence-based programs and other innovations in practice. The chapter offers specific advice for including knowledge regarding implementation practice and science in legislation and policy, departmental administration, and service sectors. Implementation-informed legislation, implementation-informed departmental regulations and funding methods, and implementation-supported contracted services can substantially increase the return on investment in a broad range of human service programs.

Hospitals, especially regional disaster base hospitals, play a critical role in saving lives during a disaster. Therefore, it is important for the hospitals to conduct disaster response exercises and thoroughly evaluate the results to understand the current level of response capability and to identify potential problems in disaster response and hospital business continuity. However, because data collection and analysis of disaster exercise requires a lot of manpower and time, such evaluation has not been well conducted so far. Aiming to develop evaluation indices of exercise performance, we collected data on patient and document flow, inter-departmental communication, and exercise participant behavior using video cameras, voice recorders, and NFC tags. Focusing on inter-departmental communication, this paper describes the data collection using voice recorders attached to PHS and reports on an attempt to use a large-scale language model to automatically classify the verbal data into several performative verbs.Methods: We collected data during disaster response exercises conducted at a major hospital in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 2022 and 2023. This hospital is designated as a regional disaster base hospital, which is expected to play a central role in regional disaster medicine. These two exercises were both designed to accommodate mass casualties caused by a major earthquake. We used a voice recorder that can record a conversation via PHS/smartphone; we can record the voice from both sides with a single voice recorder. We attached this voice recorder to several exercise players in different departments to collect communication data on information sharing and command and control. The conversation data was transcribed and used for the further analysis. We analyzed the conversation content from the viewpoint of performative verbs to calculate the anticipation ratio of inter-departmental communication. Usually, this kind of analysis is done manually, which requires a lot of man-hours. On the other hand, in this analysis, we applied the GPT-4.0 language model to automatically classify the conversations into nine performative verbs: greet, inform, acknowledge, request, query, accept, declare, confirm, and suggest. Results and Discussions: We compare the results obtained by GPT with those of human analysts to evaluate the reliability of the classification. We confirmed that the kappa value is 0.73, which indicates that there is substantial agreement between the GPT and manual classification. Then, we calculated the anticipation ratio, which is the ratio of push to pull information, and is often used as a rough indicator of efficient information sharing. By comparing the ratio between 2022 and 2023, we found that the ratio was higher for the command post in 2023, indicating that the command post in 2023 proactively provided information to other departments in advance before they were asked. Conclusion: Through this study, we confirmed that inter-departmental conversations in the exercise can be clearly recorded with the voice recorder attached to the PHS. We also confirmed that a large language model can be used for the classification by performative verbs, thus saving man-hours in calculating the anticipation ratio.

Annotation:

The first aim of this project was to develop evidence-informed models of academic advising for Postgraduate Taught (PGT) courses that was aligned to the institutional Academic Advising Framework, provided a consistently good experience, and yet was flexible enough to cater for diverse courses and student requirements. The second aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of these models. Three main models were created: Model 1 (out of curriculum); Model 2 (embedded approach); Model 3 (extended advising). A fourth, by permission only, student-led ‘Model X’, was also created in response to the needs of particular cohorts and departments. Following model implementation student awareness of the Academic Adviser (AA) role and of who theirs is was significantly greater. There were significant increases in the perceptions that academic advisers provided useful advice and guidance, referred to further support as appropriate, and took a personal interest in them, as well as a decrease in end of year withdrawal rates, post-model implementation compared with pre-model implementation. Comparing models, Model 2 (embedded) elicited the most positive results. A higher proportion of students experiencing Model 2 reported they had the opportunity and took up the opportunity to meet with their AA compared with any other model. Additionally, these students had significantly higher agreement that their AA takes a personal interest in them and that they provide useful advice and guidance to aid academic progress and development. Thematic analysis qualitative data, pre- and post-implementation revealed six themes: Academic, Professional, Personal, Relational, Contact and AA Model. Based on the evaluation and research conducted by the working group we have the following recommendations: 1. The importance of Academic Advising in PGT courses should not be understated. 2. Academic Advising should be embedded in curriculum (Model 2), where possible. 3. Model 3 is strongly recommended for courses with high proportions of international students.

Annotation:

The Illinois Department of Transportation is required to provide mitigation for impacts to wetlands and streams under Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act and the Illinois Interagency Wetlands Policy Act of 1989, regulations that protect the function and integrity of wetland and stream water quality and wildlife habitat. These regulations are enforced by the US Army Corps of Engineers at the federal level and by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources at the state level. Permits are issued on the condition that compensatory mitigation for those impacts will be provided by the permittee prior to or concurrent with a particular project. As a frequent permittee, IDOT faces various challenges in meeting compliance with wetland and stream regulations. If these challenges are not met on schedule, construction projects may be delayed. The principal challenge is identifying and executing an appropriate approach to obtaining compensatory mitigation credits to offset wetland and stream impacts in advance of projects. Under this principal challenge, there are external factors that involve regulatory agencies and commercial mitigation credit vendors and internal factors that can be addressed through IDOT policy development and implementation. IDOT requested this special project to examine these factors, obtain feedback from other state departments of transportation regarding their compensatory mitigation programs, and to assess overall challenges to providing timely wetland and stream mitigation as well as potential solutions to address these challenges.

Performance measurement is a subject of some importance within the public sector. This study examines the design and development of a performance measurement framework within a local government department. It used a narrative case study approach to follow the process used by the design team involved. The design team began by examining the performance literature at a number of levels, and from this distilled eight design principles, from which they built a performance measurement framework. The design team encountered a number of challenges during this process; challenges they expected based on the literature. From the experiences of the design team, a number of hypotheses suitable for further testing have been derived. This study provides useful advice for performance measurement professionals within the public sector in developing frameworks grounded in theory, whether at the central or local government level.

C-FER Technologies (1999) Inc., ("C-FER") conducted a multi-phase study to further advance the ability to predict the remaining casing burst capacity for underground natural gas storage wells. This project is co-funded by the Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). This project included a literature review of casing corrosion logging technologies and remaining burst capacity prediction models. Three casing corrosion logging tools, selected based on the outcome of a preceding PRCI casing logging tool test program, were tested to further evaluate their performance in detecting and sizing various metal loss features on casing specimens. Physical burst tests with capped ends were conducted on 20 specimens selected from the logged casing joints to benchmark the burst prediction models. Advanced finite element analysis (FEA) was also performed to evaluate the effect of in-situ downhole load conditions on the remaining burst capacity of corroded casing. A reliability-based framework was outlined to quantitatively address various uncertainties associated with the casing corrosion integrity management. This report summarizes the work completed, the key results and conclusions, as well as recommendations for future initiatives.

This paper formed part of a Conference "Mercosur: In Search of a New Agenda" held in the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Rio de Janeiro in June 2003. The purpose of the Conference was to was to examine future directions for Mercosur in light of emerging political dynamics pointing to renewed interest in deepening the initiative after a turbulent 1999-2002. The papers and the conference were supported by the Integration and Regional Programs Department of the Inter-American Development Bank through its Special Initiative on Trade and Integration. The Department is grateful for the collaboration of the Foundation and in particular to Professor Renato Flores. Taking into account the relevancy of exchange variability for integration agreements, this paper evaluates the importance of exchange volatility among member countries of a free trade area and some possible solutions. Measures to prevent or reduce these fluctuations in terms of macroeconomic policy coordination are also examined. Additionally, the creation of a monetary union within MERCOSUR, macroeconomic policy coordination, and a compensation mechanism to tackle exchange variability are also analyzed. Most relevant elements to advance in macroeconomic cooperation in MERCOSUR are studied, and an assessment is made of how exchange variability could be reduced, should exchange regimes be excluded from this coordination.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) started deploying queue warning trucks ahead of interstate work zones to alert motorists of queued traffic. Along with visually alerting the motorists, digital alerts were integrated with navigational applications such as Apple Maps, Waze, and the in-vehicle infotainment system of Stellantis vehicles. More than 45,000 hours of alerting was provided to motorists across various interstates in Indiana over a 26-month period. This report evaluated the impact of queue warning trucks on traffic using hard braking events and traffic speeds provided by granular connected trajectory vehicle data. Evaluation of over 370 hours of queuing with the presence of queue trucks and 52 hours of queuing without the queue trucks indicated a decrease in hard braking events by 80% when trucks were present with digital alerts. It was also observed that traffic speeds started to reduce approximately 1,500 to 2,000 ft in advance of deployed queue trucks.

The objective of this research was to provide recommendations to the Illinois Department of Transportation for updating and revising the “Community Impact Assessment Manual” in accordance with the latest research and practice. The guide incorporated findings from a literature review, a scan of state department of transportation (DOT) community impact assessment (CIA) guidance and manuals, a survey of practitioners from state DOTs involved in CIA, and a series of interviews with those same practitioners to recommend process updates. According to the Federal Highway Administration, community impact assessment can be defined as “an iterative process to evaluate the effects of a transportation action on a community and its quality of life,” which includes elements of health, safety, air quality, connectivity and access, and equity. Six states had publicly available CIA guidance. While all manuals provided basic guidance, some were more detailed in prescribing analytical methods for different types of impacts or provided more structure for conducting the analysis, such as report templates, technical memos, interactive screening tools, field visit checklists, and community context audit forms. According to surveys and interviews with state DOT practitioners, DOTs varied in how or whether they conducted CIA, whether they screened for the need for CIA in advance of conducting it, and what factors they consider when conducting them. A few DOTs had innovative practices with respect to CIA, such as mapping tools, an equity and health assessment, and robust community engagement. The CIA guidance produced as a component to this project constitutes the state of the art in practice, including quantitative and qualitative analytical methods for screening and methods for conducting and documenting CIA. The guidance also emphasizes equity in the assessment process.
