Full textAbstract:
This paper is a proposal for a methodologically based monitoring of the changes in habits and needs of library audiences, i.e. changes in access to library services, in the circumstances of the changed communication models caused by the wide use of information and communication technology. It presents audience research in the context of strategic planning in libraries, and points out terminological categories that could serve as a starting point for further research. Using the case study method of Novi Sad City Library, the paper categorizes the audience in two groups which proved to be right for quantitative and qualitative monitoring: according to the preference of the audience for certain content - permanent, occasional, potential and inaccessible audience types are defined, and according to the methods of addressing - users of funds and services, audiences in the narrow sense and online users are defined. Young people turned out to be a strategically relevant target group. The research has shown that the youth are the widest digital media consumers and that their primary goal is infotainment - a combination of a low percentage of information in highly entertaining packages. Members of young population do not recognize the library as a place of interest, so it is necessary to develop adequate channels of communication with them, in a way typical for this group. The paper shows how the model of the Novi Sad Library can be applied as a strategically based audience research in other public libraries, and gives an example of a user experience testing model (UX) and its final result - designed library services. Previous researches by Leo Appleton and Gina De Alwis were used in the paper. At the core of the designed service is participation, as a model of creating instead of consuming the prepared content.

Full textAbstract:
Live streamers’ power and attraction influence consumer behavior. This study focuses on streamer-central formed social capital and the relationship between streamers and audiences on live streaming video platforms (LSVP). First, we explored the impact of trust, norm of reciprocity, and network on social capital formation. Second, we investigated the effect of social capital on streamers’ attributes (attractiveness, expertise, and trustworthiness) and on the audience’s social capital formation. The main findings show that trust and network positively affect social capital. Social capital increases the level of streamers’ attractiveness, expertise, and trustworthiness perceived by the audience, which facilitates sustainable development of the LSVP and the streamer. Perceived streamers’ attractiveness negatively affects social capital formation, while perceived expertise positively affects it. To promote social capital development, streamers and operators of LSVPs should continuously emphasize social capital formation. Moreover, LSVPs should provide audiences with novel and interesting content to enable active networking. For sustainable development of LSVPs, when providing live streaming video services, streamers should deliver content that the audience perceives as based on their expertise rather than on their physical attractiveness.

Why do public sector organisations target different stakeholder audiences in their reputation management? Despite the recognition that reputation management is an audience-based exercise, the field lacks studies that systematically analyse which audiences matter for reputation management by different public service organisations. This article examines reputation management by public service organisation in a multi-audience framework. The relevance of different audiences is surveyed at public service organisations that differ in formal-legal distance from government, task, size and environmental turbulence. The strongest and broadest effects are found for more autonomous organisations, who focus their reputation management more on politicians in general and the media and less on their directly responsible Minister.

Abstract Living in a world that inspires and exhales bits, the presence of a site, whether personal or institutional, is mandatory. But is it just enough to exist in the online space? How can we measure, in particular, internet success and after all, are we reaching the target audience? Whether we are talking about a web page for presenting our own business or about an online business itself, knowing the impact it has on the net is just as important. This is called audience, and to measure it there are some instruments that are to be discussed and analyzed in this article. There will be references on the Land Forces Academy's official site

В работе рассматриваются принципы разработки программно-технического комплекса (ПТК) мониторинга молодежной интернет-аудитории социальных сетей для обмена контентами. Разрабатываемое прикладное программное обеспечение позволяет изучить сетевое пространство, а также оценить риски, связанные с деструктивной деятельности пользователей подросткового возраста. Авторы обращают внимание читателя на острую необходимость наличия инструментария автоматизированного исследования молодежной аудитории интернет-пространства в плане реакции подростков на учащающиеся информационно-технологические атаки Запада. При этом предлагаются соответствующие проектные решения в отношении структуры входных и выходных данных ПТК, его модулей парсинга, классификации и баз данных. Результаты работы ПТК обязательно должны подвергаться глубокой аналитической обработке, выводы которой могут служить основой для адекватных профилактических мероприятий как в отношении рисковых тематических групп социальных сетей, так и отдельных их пользователей, склонных к девиантному поведению. Особо эффективной следует считать работу по оперативному противодействию фейкам (по возможности адресно) для наиболее рисковых категорий молодежной аудитории регионального социо-информационного пространства. The paper discusses the principles of developing a software and hardware complex (STC) for monitoring the youth Internet audience of social networks for the exchange of content. The developed application software allows you to explore the network space, as well as assess the risks associated with the destructive activities of adolescent users. The authors draw the reader's attention to the urgent need for tools for automated research of the youth audience of the Internet space in terms of the reaction of adolescents to the increasing information technology attacks of the West. At the same time, appropriate design solutions are proposed regarding the structure of the input and output data of the PTC, its modules for parsing, classification and databases. The results of the work of the PTK must necessarily be subjected to deep analytical processing, the conclusions of which can serve as the basis for adequate preventive measures both in relation to risky thematic groups of social networks and their individual users prone to deviant behavior. Particularly effective should be considered the work on operational counteraction to fakes (targeted if possible) for the most risky categories of the youth audience of the regional socio-information space.

Full textAbstract:
This article develops a game-theoretic model that reconciles three facts: (1) fraud is pervasive in non-competitive elections, (2) domestic and international monitoring of elections have become nearly universal and (3) incumbent regimes often invite monitoring and still cheat. The incumbent regime commits fraud to manipulate the information generated by a non-competitive election before a political interaction with some audience. The audience expects fraud, so the incumbent commits fraud because she would appear weak if not doing so. Increasing the visibility of fraud with monitoring is valuable because it lowers the equilibrium level of costly fraud without changing how popular the incumbent appears. The core results hold under multiple extensions, which produce a rich set of comparative static results.

Full textAbstract:
The Korean entertainment industry’s popularity and global reach has prompted private companies and destination management organizations to place Korean products and position Korea as a destination to international viewers. Korean celebrities have also been found to form positively perceived Korean beauty standards, consequently serving as an antecedent of Korean beauty product awareness and perceived beauty product quality among international audiences. Although previous studies have found that audience involvement with entertainment mediums has positively impacted product purchase and visitation, a comprehensive investigation of the audience involvement’s multi-dimensionality has yet to be conducted, specifically, on the distinction between Korean entertainment (movies, TV dramas, TV shows, etc.) involvement and celebrity worship. The present study attempts to fill the research gap by comprehensively examining the role of audience involvement with Korean entertainment, celebrity worship, brand awareness, and perceived Korean beauty product quality on product purchase intentions as well as intentions to visit Korea. A total of 327 female Indonesian Korean entertainment audiences then validated the proposed conceptual framework. The structural equation modeling results found emotional involvement, referential reflection, and entertainment-driven celebrity worshipping tendencies to be significant antecedents of Korean beauty product purchase and Korea visit intentions.

Full textAbstract:
Les mesures de trafic permettent aux opérateurs de réseaux de réaliser plusieurs applications de surveillances telles que l’ingénierie du trafic, l’approvisionnement des ressources, la gestion de réseaux, et la détection d’anomalies. Cependant, les solutions existantes présentent plusieurs problèmes, à savoir le problème de scalabilité, le problème de la détection des changements dans le trafic du réseau, et le problème de la perte d’informations significatives sur le trafic. La principale conséquence de cette tendance est un désaccord entre les solutions de surveillance existantes et les besoins croissants des applications de gestion des réseaux ; Ainsi, l’amélioration des applications de surveillance présente un défi majeur et un énorme engagement pour les grands réseaux. Ce défi devient plus difficile avec la croissance remarquable de l’infrastructure d’Internet, l’hétérogénéité des comportements des utilisateurs et l’émergence d’une large variété d’applications réseau. Dans ce contexte, nous présentons la conception d’une architecture centralisée adaptative qui fournit une visibilité sur l’ensemble du réseau grâce à un système cognitif de surveillance de son trafic. Nous considérons les exigences suivantes dans la conception de notre système de surveillance de réseaux. La première souligne le fait que les vendeurs ne veulent pas mettre en œuvre des outils d’échantillonnage sophistiqués qui donne nt de bons résultats dans certaines circonstances. Ils veulent mettre en œuvre des solutions simples et robustes qui sont bien décrites par une certaine norme (i. E. S’Flow, NetFlow). Ainsi, nous décidons de concevoir une nouvelle solution qui utilise des techniques de surveillance existantes et tente de coordonner les responsabilités entre les différents moniteurs afin d’améliorer la précision globale des mesures. La deuxième exigence stipule que le système de surveillance devrait fournir des informations générales sur l’ensemble du réseau0. Pour ce faire, nous adaptons une approche centralisée qui offre une visibilité sur l’ensemble du réseau. Notre système combine les différentes mesures locales en vue d’atteindre le compromis entre l’amélioration de la précision des résultats et le respect des contraintes de surveillance. Et la dernière exigence indique que le système de surveillance devrait régler le problème de scalabilité et respecter les contraintes de surveillance. Par conséquent, notre système repose sur un module de configuration de réseau qui fournit une solution réactive capable de détecter les changements dans les conditions du réseau et d’adapter la configuration des moniteurs à l’état du réseau. De plus, ils évitent les détails et les oscillations inutiles dans le trafic afin de garder la consommation des ressources dans les limites souhaitées. Le module de reconfiguration du réseau utilise des outils locaux de surveillance et ajuste automatiquement et périodiquement leurs taux d’échantillonnage afin de coordonner les responsabilités et répartir le travail entre les différents moniteursTraffic measurement allows network operators to achieve several purposes such as traffic engineering, network resources provisioning and management, accounting and anomaly detection. However, existing solutions suffer from different problems namely the problem of scalability to high speeds, the problem of detecting changes in network conditions, and the problem of missing meaningful information in the traffic. The main consequence of this trend is an inherent disagreement between existing monitoring solutions and the increasing needs of management applications. Hence, increasing monitoring capabilities presents one of the most challenging issues and an enormous undertaking in a large network. This challenge becomes increasingly difficult to meet with the remarkable growth of the Internet infrastructure, the increasing heterogeneity of user’s behaviour and the emergence of a wide variety of network applications. In this context, we present the design of an adaptive centralized architecture that provides visibility over the entire network through a net-work-wide cognitive monitoring system. We consider the following important requirements in the design of our network-wide monitoring system. The first underscores the fact that the vendors do not want to implement sophisticated sampling schemes that give good results under certain circumstances. They want to implement simple and robust solutions that are well described by some form of a standard (i. E. SFlow, NetFlow). Thus, we decide to design a new solution that deals with existing monitoring techniques and tries to coordinate responsibilities between the different monitors in order to improve the overall accuracy. The second requirement stipulates that the monitoring system should provide general information of the entire network. To do so, we adopt a centralized approach that provides visibility over the entire network. Our system investigates the different local measurements and correlates their results in order to address the trade off between accuracy and monitoring constraints. Ands the last requirement indicates that the monitoring system should address the scalability problem and respect monitoring constraints. To this end, our system relies on a network configuration module hat provides a responsive solution able to detect changes in network conditions and adapt the different sampling rates to network state. At the same time it avoids unnecessary details and oscillations in the traffic in order to keep the resulting overhead within the desired bounds. The network reconfiguration module deals with local monitoring tools and adjusts automatically and periodically sampling rates in order to coordinate responsibilities and distribute the work between the different monitors

Full textAbstract:
Commercial music festivals in the United States have been growing in popularity since the 1960s. Today, many weekend-long music festivals are annual events spanning a variety of genres and often occur at the same locations each year. My research compares and contrasts how jamband music festivals are marketed as sustainable events and attempts to determine how the advertised sustainable practices are implemented and utilized at selected jamband music venues. The jamband genre of music emphasizes musical improvisation and borrows from other styles of music: rock, electronic, jazz, blues, folk, and bluegrass.
In addition, any impacts these festivals have upon the local environment are evaluated. Sustainability is a topic often used as a marketing strategy when promoting summer jamband music festivals. Fans of this genre are identified with a culture that is similar to the environmentally conscious hippie culture of the 1960s and 1970s.
The data for this research were obtained through field observations, interviews, surveys, and content analyses of promotional materials. It is my hypothesis that the festivals’ sustainable practices will be adopted by local communities as the festivals leave both a physical and cultural imprint upon the local landscapes, which is determined through attendee surveys and interviews with local decision makers and festival promoters. I also hypothesize that the geographic location of each will have an influence on the participation in such practices by the festival attendees, as I believe those in attendance at the High Sierra Music Festival in California will be more likely to have green lifestyles as California has been a leader in environmentally conscious innovations and attitudes, whereas other states, Illinois and Tennessee, lag behind. The data collected were mapped and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of environmental sustainability promotions and practices at the fan level as well as the local level. This research fills a gap within the geographic literature as no research exists examining the spatial relationship between music festivals and sustainability. Additionally, my research highlights that popular cultural events can be opportunities to engage in meaningful environmental education on issues such as recycling, and environmental sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
L'avènement de la législation sur la protection des données (GDPR) a présenté d'importants défis pour les opérateurs de réseaux WiFi, entravant leur capacité à suivre et analyser l'activité des clients à des fins commerciales et de sécurité. La randomisation des adresses MAC des appareils clients lors de chaque transmission a rendu difficile l'agrégation de l'activité des clients en utilisant des trames de gestion telles que les probe requests, pratiques courantes par le passé. Par conséquent, le comptage et la cartographie précis de l'activité des clients sont devenus problématiques, nécessitant souvent des mesures supplémentaires à partir de capteurs alternatifs tels que des caméras. Cependant, nos recherches ont donné des résultats prometteurs pour relever ces défis. Nous avons d’abord constaté que statistiquement le nombre de clients maintient une relation proportionnelle avec le nombre brut de probe requests, offrant ainsi un soulagement à la problématique du comptage des clients, sans recourir à des capteurs de référence. Au-delà de cette avancée, la localisation des clients aux adresses MAC randomisées au sein d'un site réseau reste un problème non résolu. Pour adresser ce constat, cette thèse propose également une boîte à outils dont l'objectif est d'étendre la proportionnalité entre le nombre de clients et le nombre de probe requests à une cartographie de la densité des clients dans les réseaux WiFi extérieurs du monde réel. En utilisant cette boîte à outils, les probe requests brutes peuvent être transformées en une carte de densité, fournissant des estimations de la population de clients à chaque emplacement. En combinant la boîte à outils proposée avec les conclusions de la recherche sur le comptage des clients, cette thèse offre une solution intéressante aux défis auxquels sont confrontés les opérateurs de réseaux WiFi. La boîte à outils permet une cartographie des densités de clients dans les réseaux WiFi extérieurs, en tenant compte des réglementations sur la protection des données et de la randomisation des adresses MAC. Cela permet une meilleure compréhension du comportement des clients tout en respectant les préoccupations de confidentialité et en surmontant les complexités techniquesThe emergence of data privacy legislation, such as the GDPR, has posed significant hurdles for WiFi network operators, impeding their ability to track and analyze client activity for commercial and security purposes. The dynamic randomization of client device MAC addresses during each transmission has created obstacles in aggregating client data using management frames like probe requests, which were commonly employed in the past. Consequently, accurately quantifying and mapping client activity has become a complex task, often necessitating supplementary measurements from alternative sensors such as cameras. Our research yielded encouraging results in addressing these challenges. First of all, we have demonstrated statistically that a proportional relationship exists between the number of clients and the raw count of probe requests, thus alleviating the problem of client counting, without relying on ground truth measurements. Despite this advancement, however, the localization of clients with randomized MAC addresses within a network site remains an unresolved problem. To confront this issue, the thesis proposes a toolkit whose objective is to extend the proportionality between client counts and probe requests to the mapping of client densities in real-world outdoor WiFi networks. With this toolkit, raw probe requests can be transformed into a density map showing client populations. By combining the proposed toolkit with the findings derived from the research on client counting, this thesis presents an interesting solution to the challenges confronted by today’s WiFi network operators. The toolkit facilitates accurate mapping of client densities in outdoor WiFi networks while adhering to data privacy regulations and accounting for MAC address randomization. This approach enhances the comprehension of client behavior, while ensuring the preservation of privacy and addressing technical challenges

Resumo: Esse trabalho inicialmente faz uma análise da evolução dos sistemas de comunicações digitais, enfatizando a evolução dos sistemas DTV (Digital TV) e explora através de aplicações, os conceitos de IoT (Internet of Things), computação em nuvem, mineração de dados, big data e rádios cognitivos, propondo o uso de redes de sensores e banco de dados para uma diversidade de aplicações relacionadas ao uso do espectro de frequências, entre elas: o sensoriamento do espectro, a medição da qualidade de sinais ao longo do tempo, a estatística de audiência e a detecção dos modelos de propagação mais adequados para cada região. Na proposta, a medição de qualidade dos sinais de radiodifusão é realizada por sensores em campo e a interface gráfica é realizada através de Web Map Services, possibilitando a filtragem das informações por tipo de medida, área e período de interesse. Distribui-se o processamento de dados entre servidores e máquinas locais para o melhor desempenho das aplicações. Para o sensoriamento, aplica-se o conceito de IoT ao se propor a conversão de receptores comerciais convencionais como Set-Top-Boxes e smartphones em sensores de qualidade de sinais, considera-se esse método como uma solução viável para a composição de redes com centenas a milhares de sensores. Os sensores ao ganharem a capacidade de varrer o espectro de frequências de forma automática, são também considerados como rádios cognitivos em sistemas DTV. Devido à atual preocupação das agências reguladoras em buscar soluções para a melhor gestão e compartilhamento do espectro, propõe-se dessa forma, uma solução baseada em sensores de baixo custo e banco de dados que possam atuar na gestão do uso das frequências e, consequentemente possibilite uma série de análises quantitativas e qualitativas dos sinais eletromagnéticos
Abstract: This thesis initially analyses the evolution of digital communications, emphasizing the evolution of DTV systems (Digital TV), and, through software applications, explores the concepts of IoT (Internet of Things), cloud computing, data mining, big data and cognitive radios, when proposing the use of sensor networks and databases for a variety of applications related to the use of frequency spectrum, among them, spectrum sensing, measurement of signal quality over time, processing of collected data and its comparison with signal propagation models. We propose the measurement of broadcasting signal quality through low cost field sensors and the use of Web Map Services as a user interface, enabling the data filtering by type of measurement, area and period of interest. The data is processed by servers and local machines for improvement of applications performance. Following the concept of IoT, we propose the conversion of conventional commercial receivers, such as Set-Top-Boxes and smartphones into signal field sensors. This solution is considered a viable solution for the composition of networks with hundreds to thousands of sensors. As the devices incorporates capacity of frequency spectrum scanning capabilities, the proposed method can also be considered an application of cognitive radio system in DTV. Due to the concern of regulatory agencies in seeking solutions for better spectrum management and sharing among different systems, we propose a solution based on low-cost sensors and databases, which can act in the management of the frequency spectrum and therefore enable a series of quantitative and qualitative analyzes of radio signals

Full textAbstract:
Consumers acquire products to enhance their lives, but the happiness from these acquisitions generally decreases with the passage of time. This process of hedonic adaptation plays an integral role in post-acquisition consumer satisfaction, product disposal and replacement behavior, and the "hedonic treadmill" that partially drives the relationship between consumption and happiness. Humans are social animals, however, and we know little about the relationship between the social environment and hedonic adaptation. My dissertation addresses this gap by exploring the moderating role of social presence (Essay 1) and self-concepts (Essay 2) on hedonic adaptation to products. Essay 1 explores how social presence affects hedonic adaptation to products. Research on general happiness has shown that significantly positive life events tend to maintain their positivity for longer periods of time when they involve active social interactions. I examine a more common situation in the domain of product consumption, i.e., the presence of others during consumption, and test whether hedonic adaptation to products is moderated by public contexts. By tracking happiness with products over time, I show that a "social audience" (i.e., the presence of others and the perception that those others notice the consumer) moderates hedonic adaptation through a consumer's inference of the social audience perspective. Inferring that the social audience is admiring one's product slows down adaptation, and inferring that the social audience is negatively viewing one's product accelerates adaptation. Essay 2 explores the role the identity-relevance of a product plays in hedonic adaptation. Extant research illustrates that consumers avoid consuming identity-inconsistent products in order to avoid dissonance arising from product choices conflicting with important self-concepts. I show that dissonance can also arise from consuming identity-consistent products because of the force of hedonic adaptation. I provide evidence that consumers feel uncomfortable experiencing declining happiness with identity-consistent products and thus resist hedonic adaptation to such products in order to resolve the dissonance.text

This collective monograph continues a series of scientific studies and publications on the problems of strategic planning, which have been carried out for several years at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation with the involvement of specialists from other scientific and educational organizations. A series of research papers in 2017-2019 was devoted to the analysis of strategic development risks and the analysis of global strategic planning practice, the general methodology of strategic planning and forecasting (including in the context of ensuring Russia's economic security), the approach to the formation of life cycles of preparation and revision of strategic planning documents and their comparative analysis, the experience of coordinating budget, project and process types of management and financing, monitoring risks and threats, the use of new information tools in the strategic planning complex, including blockchain, and also naturally develops such aspects of previous research as analysis of world practice, coordination of budget, project and process types of management and financing, the use of information technologies. However, at the same time, a special task was set — to approach a comprehensive analysis of the strategic planning process as a whole, especially to study its documentary support as the core of the organization of this process and the implementation of its results in the practice of public administration, as well as to analyze the scientific support of strategic planning as an essential aspect of all strategic planning and strategic management activities in the entirety of its aspects (goal setting, forecast, design, programming, planning, control and audit).
It is intended for specialists from the humanities, natural sciences and technical fields of knowledge focused on management and development problems, for undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as for a wide audience of management practitioners, including those related to strategic planning processes in the public sector.

Chapter 17 reviews the importance of evaluating anti-stigma programs and suggests that this should be approached with an eye to understanding the key active ingredients of the program as well as identifying things that may not have worked as planned. It addresses how creating a culture of critical reflection is a key to using evaluation findings to improve program delivery. It also argues that a combination of qualitative data and quantitative data is important if a rich understanding of program processes and effects is to be achieved. Finally, it identifies the importance of communicating results widely, in the academic literature and through reports and presentations that are relevant to policy audiences.

Full textAbstract:
Mapping and Monitoring Bullying and Violence is a guidebook for district and school education leaders and professionals to reduce incidents of violence and bullying and enhance students' well-being. Written in a step-by-step format, the text is designed to assist in collecting and making better use of data on non-academic issues in schools, such as reports of victimization, weapon and drug possession, theft of personal property, suicide ideation, and other areas. The authors advocate an ongoing monitoring approach that involves collecting information from multiple audiences about what is taking place in and around schools. One part of this process is mapping, which gives school leaders, students, and staff members a visual record of areas of the campus considered safe, alongside those that students view to be places where they might encounter bullying, harm, or trouble. Other common parts of such systems are surveys among students, educators, and parents. The authors include practical examples of how to design such a system, gather current information, analyze and display the data, share it with different audiences, and use it to find solutions. Ultimately, this timely guidebook is a must-have for social workers, psychologists, counselors, nurses, and others working to improve safety in schools.

Full textAbstract:
The development of unconventional oil and gas shales using hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling is currently a focal point of energy and climate change discussions. While this technology has provided access to substantial reserves of oil and gas, the need for large quantities of water, emissions, and infrastructure raises concerns over the environmental impacts. Written by an international consortium of experts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the extraction from unconventional reservoirs, providing clear explanations of the technology and processes involved. Each chapter is devoted to different aspects including global reserves, the status of their development and regulatory framework, water management and contamination, air quality, earthquakes, radioactivity, isotope geochemistry, microbiology, and climate change. Case studies present baseline studies, water monitoring efforts and habitat destruction. This book is accessible to a wide audience, from academics to industry professionals and policy makers interested in environmental pollution and petroleum exploration.

Full textAbstract:
This book intends to familiarise prospective users in the environmental community with satellite remote sensing technology and its applications, introducing terminology and principles behind satellite remote sensing data and analyses. It provides a detailed overview of the possible applications of satellite data in natural resource management, demonstrating how ecological knowledge and satellite-based information can be effectively combined to address a wide array of current natural resource management needs. Topics considered include the use of satellite data to monitor the various dimensions of biodiversity; the use of this technology to track pressures on biodiversity such as invasive species, pollution, and illegal fishing; the utility of satellite remote sensing to inform the management of protected areas, translocation, and habitat restoration; and the contribution of satellite remote sensing towards the monitoring of ecosystem services and wellbeing. The intended audience is ecologists and environmental scientists; the book is targeted as a handbook and is therefore also suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in the biological and ecological sciences, as well as policy makers and specialists in the fields of conservation biology, biodiversity monitoring, and natural resource management. The book assumes no prior technical knowledge of satellite remote sensing systems and products. It is written so as to generate interest in the ecological, environmental management, and remote sensing communities, highlighting issues associated with the emergence of truly synergistic approaches between these disciplines.

Guideline for Preventive Chemotherapy for the Control of Taenia solium Taeniasis. Pan American Health Organization, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37774/9789275123720.
Full textAbstract:
The larval stage of the parasite Taenia solium can encyst in the central nervous system causing neurocysticercosis, which is the main cause of acquired epilepsy in the countries in which the parasite is endemic. Endemic areas are those with the presence (or likely presence) of the full life cycle of Taenia solium. The parasite is most prevalent in poor and vulnerable communities in which pigs roam free, open defecation is practiced, basic sanitation is deficient, and health education is absent or limited. Several tools are available for the control of Taenia solium. Preventive chemotherapy for Taenia solium taeniasis, which is directed at the adult tapeworm, is one of them. Other tools focus on pig management, pig vaccination and treatment, sanitation and hygiene, and community education. Three potential drugs—niclosamide, praziquantel, and albendazole—have been considered for use for preventive chemotherapy in Taenia solium taeniasis control programs through mass drug administration or targeted chemotherapy. In this Guideline, we provide recommendations for preventive chemotherapy in Taenia solium-endemic areas using niclosamide, praziquantel, or albendazole, including at which dose and in which population groups. The development of this Guideline is based on the latest standard World Health Organization methods for guideline development, including the use of systematic search strategies, synthesis, quality assessment of the available evidence to support the recommendations, and participation of experts and stakeholders in the Guideline Development Group and External Review Group. The recommendations are intended for a wide audience, including policymakers and their expert advisers, and technical and program staff at governmental institutions and organizations involved in the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of preventive chemotherapy programs for the control of Taenia solium.

Toolkit for Integrated Serosurveillance of Communicable Diseases in the Americas. Pan American Health Organization, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.37774/9789275125656.
Full textAbstract:
Serosurveillance is a tool that complements traditional public health methods for surveillance of communicable diseases and provides valuable information on disease transmission in populations; for example, to identify gaps in immunity against vaccine-preventable diseases. This information is useful for monitoring population exposure to diseases such as malaria, neglected infectious diseases, foodborne diseases, waterborne diseases, vector-borne diseases, and emerging infectious diseases. As many infectious diseases are or have been present in populations that live in environments where various risk factors overlap, consequently, integrated serosurveillance facilitates synergies and optimizes the utilization of public health resources. This toolkit was developed to facilitate the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and use of results of integrated serosurveys to reinforce countries’ capacities toward the elimination of communicable diseases. The first part describes the basic concepts of serosurveys and serosurveillance, its uses, benefits and challenges, ways to improve its efficiency, and its potential to contribute to decision-making in public health. Subsequently, this toolkit presents a stepwise process for the implementation of survey-based integrated serological surveillance. It includes recommendations on how to identify the need for and purpose of gathering serological information; the survey design and methodology; laboratory methods; practical considerations for survey implementation; data analysis and interpretation; and the use of findings to support decision-making. It is primarily aimed to support program managers and teams involved in the control and elimination of communicable diseases. The target audience includes, but it is not restricted to, coordinators of communicable diseases, neglected infectious diseases, and immunization programs; epidemiological surveillance managers; public health laboratory staff; and other staffers of cabinet-level and subnational health departments or authorities who may be interested in incorporating integrated serosurveillance into the tools of their surveillance systems, as a means of gaining additional insight into population transmission of infectious diseases.

AbstractTo fully reap the benefits of digitisation and sustainably create value for their audiences, cultural heritage institutions (CHI) need to implement and monitor digital, data-driven strategies that touch upon all aspects of how organisations operate. This can range from staffing and skills development to adoption of metadata models, novel audience engagement approaches and methods for collecting and using user data. We introduce the concept for the CHI Self-Assessment Tool that enables institutions to assess their strategy and plan against several aspects of digital transformation. The tool proposes a novel approach on how CHIs can continuously gather data on their activities and use insights from this data to adjust their strategies and increase their digital maturity. Equally, this data can be used by policy-makers to implement more effective policies and support the sector with targeted capacity building.

Full textAbstract:
The recent spread of the COVID-19 has pushed us to a situation to reduce human contacts in crowded areas. The main objective of this work is to protect the audience from the spread of contagious and non-contagious diseases or infections by introducing automation in maintenance and management of sport stadiums. Taking some primary precautions such as social distancing, wearing masks, avoiding crowded areas, cleaning hands, and checking the temperature is very important. This work provides primary check-ups for the audience to pass through, to ensure that no symptomatic person is let inside the stadium. Social distancing is properly maintained using ultrasonic sensors placed inside the stadium, so that nobody sits over the sensor attached seats. To ensure the maintenance of audience data, tickets are being replaced with RFID tags and checking is done automatically through RFID readers. The information is stored and maintained automatically in the server through IoT.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter aims to explore the effectiveness of a newly designed pre-telecollaboration training course in helping Japanese EFL learners improve their speaking skills and enhancing their learner agency. A pre-telecollaboration training framework was constructed and implemented using an original audience design to increase effectiveness. As the course progressed, the number and type of audiences were expanded. To effectively integrate the framework into the course, a reflection activity was conducted. The analyses of scores on the versant speaking test and the results of questionnaires using the foreign language classroom anxiety, willingness to communicate, and shyness scales revealed that students' speaking skills in English improved, their foreign language anxiety was alleviated, and their willingness to communicate improved. Furthermore, monitoring results of the students by the teacher in charge indicated that their attitude toward participating in the course became more positive than before.

Full textAbstract:
Museums appear as the main actors in the process of conservation, protection, enhancement, and promotion of the artistic and cultural heritage; therefore, in this study aimed at investigating the techniques for measuring the performance of cultural enterprises, museums are used as a research context and as a field of investigation. The effectiveness and efficiency of museum performance is closely linked, today, to the transversality and multidisciplinarity of the offer and the functions performed. Furthermore, the implementation of innovative initiatives and tools favor the configuration of new experiences for the visitor, with the consequent increase in the audience. Innovation, digitization, and improvement of the visitors' experience are the new drivers of museum management, an aspect that emerges in the practical evidence as more and more museums use websites and social networks in order to establish an ongoing relationship with their customers and contribute to the dissemination of culture and artistic knowledge and local identity.

This chapter discusses the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which is in charge of the supervision of a major human rights treaty within the UN machinery, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). This was adopted in 1966 and came into force in 1976. The Human Rights Committee enjoys a peculiar position in the international human rights architecture. It has been labelled ‘as one of the most active and innovative’ bodies among the UN institutions involved in human rights monitoring, considering that it is in charge of one of the two covenants which, together with the Universal Declaration, are sometimes presented as the ‘International Bill of Rights’ and covers the broadest subject-jurisdiction matter. At the same time, the Committee and its work remain overlooked and quite obscure even for most human rights lawyers and certainly for a lay audience. The chapter assesses the Committee’s mechanisms and work.

Full textAbstract:
In advertisement, language is a cardinal tool for the dissemination of information to the public. It is a structured system of communication which in most cultures has a visual or graphical representation encoded into symbols. Crucial to print and media advertisements is persuasion. Schmidt and Kess define persuasion as “the process of inducing a voluntary change in someone's attitude, beliefs, or behavior through the transmission of a message.” Every form of discourse makes use of persuasion in one way or the other. For any advert to be effective and considered as persuasive discourse, it must be entertaining, catchy, and above all meet the needs of its target audience. Persuasive and informative content is also held in images. There are different strategies in advertising which include reduction, tunneling, self-monitoring, etc.; rhetorical triangles are important and are used in modern advertising to create compelling and persuasive campaigns that can move an audience. This triangle includes ethos, pathos, and logos.

Full textAbstract:
Inquiry (11-16) monitors development, automates the internal flow of the design process, and functions as internal sensors. This monitoring checks and rechecks that the process is executing properly1. It is interactive and always operational if used by the design team. Inquiry provides a series of questions to be asked and answered during preproduction, production and postproduction. These questions outline the design of the product and allow for a review of the product before, during, and after production; this is a surface assessment. The list of questions is not exhaustive, but they provide a broad selection of questions meant to focus on the needs of the target audience, enable the design process, and screen for bias. These questions are reviewed and reiterated throughout the design process to keep it active.

Full textAbstract:
Gas turbine autotuning systems are surfacing as a popular OEM and third party solution to minimize manual tuning for emissions compliance, combustion dynamics, and performance optimization. While these systems provide many valuable benefits, they also introduce new challenges. This paper presents a review of autotuning systems, including the general approaches, benefits, challenges, and best practices for combustion dynamics monitoring. The primary benefit of autotuning is that it provides a mostly automated solution to address operability/emissions challenges which arise due to changes in ambient conditions, fuel composition, and machine aging. The operability and emissions challenges include compliant NOx and CO, acceptable combustion dynamics levels, acceptable operability (i.e., turndown and lean blowout avoidance), and in some cases optimized performance. The overarching potential benefit of autotuning systems is their ability to address all of these issues simultaneously and continuously. The paper first presents a brief outline of the general tuning considerations for autotuning systems, with some examples from real plant data to illustrate the tuning sensitivities. It next reviews the major challenges that autotuning can introduce to combustion dynamics monitoring, such as combustor fault pattern recognition and greater consequences of instrumentation faults. Finally, the paper recommends best practices for monitoring combustion dynamics in systems with autotuning. These recommendations include what to do (and what not to do) to continue health monitoring with advanced pattern recognition software, and how to recognize the signatures of combustion dynamics instrumentation faults. This paper is directed at gas turbine operators. It presents familiar plant data to help this audience understand the core working principles of an autotuning system. This understanding is an important basis for determining when a combustion dynamics event is attributable to the operations of the autotuning system, an instrumentation fault, or combustion system hardware degradation. With this understanding established, this paper also presents a list of capabilities and best practices that should be incorporated into combustion dynamics monitoring strategies for units that use autotuning.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few decades, medicine and healthcare have significantly improved and decentralized, offering high-quality yet accessible care to individuals. Despite mHealth's substantial role in postpartum and maternity care, the adoption rate in rural and remote areas remains limited in Indonesia. mHealth apps for tracking and monitoring during and after pregnancy can potentially improve both the mother and child’s quality of life. Primagravida is a web-based application introduced for maternal and childcare in a municipality at Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A collaborative approach with two primary health care and the local government facilitates expert teams to reach out to pregnant women and parents at risk for health complications. Field supervision sessions were organized to coach targeted populations and voluntary health workers. At the end of the sessions, a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire was distributed to capture users’ experiences. Generally, a SUS score over 68 is considered good [3]. Primagravida application was acceptable and easy to learn among the users. However, the SUS questionnaire was intended as a quick and dirty assessment tool for shallow evaluation. The questions are aimed at identifying possible inconsistencies in the system rapidly. The future study must address more detailed identification with rigorous and comprehensive methods. The study's overall finding is that Primagravida was valued as satisfactory by the targeted audience of users. However, the app's usability is expected to improve through an iterative approach continuously. The findings of this study highlight the connection between efficient health apps and how their layout may foster patient engagement in care delivery. Therefore, developing health apps is essential to introduce an interdisciplinary strategy with early target group participation.

Full textAbstract:
The Fast Wavelet Transform (FWT) is a powerful new tool which can be used for vibration analysis and condition monitoring of advanced rotating machinery. The main advantage of wavelet analysis for condition monitoring is that so-called wavelet maps can be produced showing three dimensional plots of amplitude versus frequency and time. This is in contrast to Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis, in which the time domain of the signal is lost. The wavelet maps provide striking visual indications of tiny changes in machine behaviour which cannot be detected in a normal frequency spectrum. This improves the chances of averting catastrophic failures and expands the time window available to take corrective action. Additional advantages of wavelet analysis over FFT analysis include: (1) no requirements for periodicity of the signal, (2) extremely fast computation, (3) the location of patterns in the time domain and (4) an effective detection of high frequency details. Wavelet analyses of all types are available but user-friendly information is hard to come by and this has a detrimental effect on progress towards practical commercial applications. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to provide a simple and clear introduction to wavelet analysis and its use in machine condition monitoring. The paper has been written for an audience having some familiarity with spectrum analysis but no prior knowledge of wavelets.

Full textAbstract:
Teaching a foreign language to engineering students often poses an inherent challenge: bridging the gap between a mindset defined by technical skills to a mindset that becomes conversant with soft skills. A learner centred approach to language teaching provides the opportunity of training many of the key soft skills required on the work market: leadership (decision making), teamwork (peer interaction), communication skill (adapting style to audience), problem solving skills (info gap activities), work ethic (pro/con), flexibility/adaptability, interpersonal skills (language functions). As far as the student is concerned, the skill of delivering a power point based oral presentation that features the mandatory task of including any sort of visual aid (graph, flow chart, table etc.) presentation is an extremely useful object for acquiring communication skills due to its transferrable value. As far as the teacher is concerned, the repetitive edge of a teacher's activity offers the possibility of juggling with a range of approaches to teaching the graph presentation skill and make place for improvement. Nevertheless, repetition in a teacher's current work is a double edged challenge. On the one side, it is an accepted part of the mechanism of routine development, a state which pertains to the very process of attaining professional excellence. On the other hand, after attaining a certain plateau level in the outcome of repeated behavior, materials or methodology, the challenge comes from the need of a breakthrough: faster, deeper, more relevant. Although there is no universal recipe for achieving a breakthrough, one of the conditions that may lead to it is the ability of re-structuring, concept usefully developed by Michael Polanyi. This capacity building workshop is meant to explore some of the stages one might face in this attempt of restructuring. The case in point is the experience of teaching the skills needed in visual/electronic aid supported oral presentations to e-profile (electric/electronic/power) engineering students from the Bucharest Polytechnic School.

Full textAbstract:
Inclusive communication projects in museums and cultural sites often start from generically applicable assumptions referring to the principles of accessible and inclusive design, without considering the peculiarities of a cultural experience.It therefore seems important to study the audiences’ behaviour in museums, with particular attention to the different types of visitors: regular audiences with appropriate backgrounds; occasional audiences with very different backgrounds; and disaffected audiences who do not consider cultural experiences important or rewarding.It is precisely the latter that an inclusive design must carefully target, with the aim of understanding the reason for this exclusion and thus overcoming it, hence it is important that such studies do not observe only the first two types of audience, whereas this is often the case.The experiments the authors are carrying out monitor movements, times and stops of the public within the museum, in relation to the exhibits, the spatial features of the rooms, and the communication and display solutions, relating them to information resulting from ad hoc surveys.From the positioning point of view, one of the main problems is represented in tracking people in indoor environments, where the GNSS is not available, and there are often cramped spaces. Besides, if the number of people to be tracked is high, the level of difficulties increases dramatically. The problem of positioning even large numbers of people within closed and delimited spaces presents some difficulties and technical criticalities. On the other hand, the restitution of such data requires accentuated reliability: the behaviour and reactions recorded in the public during the experiment must be related to precise spatial positions, since the emotional responses of the public can vary in a very short time.At present, the aim of these experiments is not to consider the behaviour of numerous groups of people but to study individual visiting experiences. The system developed by the research team is briefly described and commented on in the paper.The technological challenge in these contexts goes beyond mere technical effectiveness. Indeed, the instrumentation required to track individual visitors, in certain solutions, risks influencing people's behaviour because it is moderately ostrusive: conversely, the challenge at present is to integrate the various sensing devices into compact and unobtrusive solutions. The Authors have implemented a Python code on a portable Raspberry device that guarantees the users’ location by exploiting signals coming from beacon devices. Communication systems between the device detecting neurophysiological reactions and monitoring physical movements can be implemented and optimised, fusing this technology with another one related to positioning purposes, exploiting electromagnetic signals such as ultra-wide-band technologies or Bluetooth, which guarantees the possibility of reaching positioning solutions even in indoor environments without afflicting the signals for neurophysiological parameter estimations.

Full textAbstract:
Up until 2007, China has been relying on foreign SCADA vendors to provide SCADA systems for the controlling and monitoring of long distance oil and gas pipelines. While foreign SCADA systems satisfy most requirements, there are still issues such as high cost, limited localization, lack of experienced local representatives, and slow to respond to system changes, etc., remain to be solved and improved in the future. In Jan 2006, Sinopec, one of the major oil and gas corporations in China, initiated a joint venture with a local IT company, Beijing East Mainstay Technology Company Ltd. (East MS), to develop a SCADA system for oil and gas pipelines. The first prototype was finished in Aug 2006. It then went through 4 months of rigorous system testing and refinement and finally it was applied to 5 refined products pipelines in China. This paper unfolds the architecture of the system and discusses the system features in detail to give the audience an insight into the first Chinese SCADA system for long distance oil and gas pipelines.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Modern gas turbines employ dry low NOx (DLN) combustion systems to reduce air pollution and meet stringent environmental regulations. Gas turbine DLN combustion systems operate in lean premix mode near the extinction limit. In this region, the quantity of fuel in the air/fuel mix at the burner is barely sufficient to sustain combustion at low flame temperatures. Safe and reliable operation of modern combustors near the flame extinction limit requires a number of vital elements: 1) an in-depth understanding of mechanisms that promote combustion stability at these extremely low fuel equivalence ratios, 2) precise manufacturing and repair of key combustion components with narrow design tolerances, 3) a reliable monitoring system to detect onset of instabilities in individual combustors, and, 4) protective measures that can implement corrective actions such as changes in fuel splits. Given these elements, operators often need to act proactively in preventing onset of excessive pressure oscillations and combustion-induced vibrations and flame instabilities. The purpose of this paper is to educate plant engineers on gas turbine combustion systems for operational flexibility of modern gas turbine low-NOx combustion systems. The paper will describe technologies for monitoring, control, and methods for adjusting and optimizing system performance on natural gas fuels. This paper is directed at plant engineers. It presents several applications, with supporting data and photographs, to help this audience understand the core working principles of modern DLN combustion systems.

Baluk, Nadia, Natalia Basij, Larysa Buk, and Olha Vovchanska. VR/AR-TECHNOLOGIES – NEW CONTENT OF THE NEW MEDIA. Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/vjo.2021.49.11074.
Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the peculiarities of the media content shaping and transformation in the convergent dimension of cross-media, taking into account the possibilities of augmented reality. With the help of the principles of objectivity, complexity and reliability in scientific research, a number of general scientific and special methods are used: method of analysis, synthesis, generalization, method of monitoring, observation, problem-thematic, typological and discursive methods. According to the form of information presentation, such types of media content as visual, audio, verbal and combined are defined and characterized. The most important in journalism is verbal content, it is the one that carries the main information load. The dynamic development of converged media leads to the dominance of image and video content; the likelihood of increasing the secondary content of the text increases. Given the market situation, the effective information product is a combined content that combines text with images, spreadsheets with video, animation with infographics, etc. Increasing number of new media are using applications and website platforms to interact with recipients. To proceed, the peculiarities of the new content of new media with the involvement of augmented reality are determined. Examples of successful interactive communication between recipients, the leading news agencies and commercial structures are provided. The conditions for effective use of VR / AR-technologies in the media content of new media, the involvement of viewers in changing stories with augmented reality are determined. The so-called immersive effect with the use of VR / AR-technologies involves complete immersion, immersion of the interested audience in the essence of the event being relayed. This interaction can be achieved through different types of VR video interactivity. One of the most important results of using VR content is the spatio-temporal and emotional immersion of viewers in the plot. The recipient turns from an external observer into an internal one; but his constant participation requires that the user preferences are taken into account. Factors such as satisfaction, positive reinforcement, empathy, and value influence the choice of VR / AR content by viewers.

Bozek, Michael, and Tani Hubbard. Greater Yellowstone Network amphibian monitoring protocol science review: A summary of reviewers’ responses. National Park Service, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2293614.
Full textAbstract:
Science reviews are an essential cornerstone of all excellent science programs and are a requirement of monitoring programs within the Inventory and Monitoring Division of the National Park Service (NPS). Science reviews provide necessary professional critique of objectives, study design, data collection, analysis, scientific interpretation, and how effectively information is transferred to target audiences. Additionally, reviews can help identify opportunities to cooperate more effectively with interested and vested partners to expand the impacts of collective findings across larger landscapes. In December 2020, seven biologists from USGS, USFWS, and NPS provided a critical review of the Greater Yellowstone Network Amphibian Monitoring Protocol for monitoring Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris), boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculata), western toads (Anaxyrus boreas), western tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium), and environmental conditions at wetland sites clustered within watershed units in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. This review followed sixteen years of GRYN amphibian and wetland monitoring, allowing us to evaluate the impact of the work thus far and to discuss potential improvements to the protocol. Reviewers were asked to assess the following amphibian monitoring objectives per Bennetts et al. (2013, Cooperative amphibian monitoring protocol for the Greater Yellowstone Network: Narrative, version 1.0, https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2194571) and to assess the degree to which GRYN is meeting the objectives based on the current sampling, analyses, and reporting: Objective 1: Estimate the proportion of catchments and wetland sites used for breeding by each of the four common, native amphibian species annually, and estimate the rate at which their use is changing over time. Objective 2: Determine the total number of wetlands within sampled catchments that are suitable for amphibian breeding (i.e., have standing water during the breeding season) annually. Objective 3: For western toads, estimate the proportion of previously identified breeding areas that are used annually, and estimate the rate at which their use may be changing over time. Generally, reviewers commended the GRYN Amphibian Monitoring Program, including the design, the statistical rigor of current analytical approaches, the large number of monitoring reports and publications, and the audiences reached. Reviewers unanimously felt that the first two objectives of this protocol are being met for two species (Columbia spotted frogs and boreal chorus frogs) in medium- and high-quality catchments, and all but one reviewer also felt these objectives are being met for western tiger salamanders. It was universally recognized that objective 3 for western toads is not being met but reviewers attributed this to issues related to funding and capacity rather than design flaws. Reviewers felt the current design provides an adequate base for parlaying additional work and offered suggestions focused on increasing efficiencies, maximizing information that can be collected in the field, strengthening analyses, and improving scientific outreach. In this document, we summarize reviewers' comments and include their full written reviews in Appendix B.

Baron, Lisa, William Vervaeke, and M. Gregory. Monitoring coastal wetland elevation in Southeast Coast Network parks: Protocol implementation plan. National Park Service, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2301244.
Full textAbstract:
The National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Division has initiated coastal wetland elevation monitoring at or in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CAHA), Cape Lookout National Seashore (CALO), Fort Pulaski National Monument (FOPU), Fort Frederica National Monument (FOFR), Cumberland Island National Seashore (CUIS), Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve (TIMU), Fort Matanzas National Monument (FOMA), and Canaveral National Seashore (CANA). This protocol implementation plan is based on the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network protocol, The Surface Elevation Table and Marker Horizon Technique: A Protocol for Monitoring Wetland Elevation Dynamics (Lynch et al. 2015) with the goal of ensuring NPS data are comparable with existing, contemporary, and future data sets collected by NPS monitoring networks and other monitoring programs. The Southeast Coast Network?s (SECN) coastal wetland monitoring effort collects surface elevation and marker horizon data at permanent monitoring stations in park salt marsh and mangrove wetlands to provide data to park resource managers on the status of, and trends in, coastal wetland conditions and abilities to adapt to sea level rise within the park and surrounding areas. In addition to sites located with park managed areas, multiple sites located within the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTMNERR) are being monitored in a partnership with their system-wide wetland elevation monitoring program. The sites monitored through the GTMNERR partnership are near Fort Matanzas National Monument and Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (CASA), geographically located between Canaveral National Seashore and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. Similarly, other partnerships will be perused around other parks to better understand wetland elevation dynamics around those areas. The purpose of this protocol implementation plan is twofold: to provide a monitoring framework for collecting scientifically sound data and to supply information to help evaluate the current status and trends in coastal wetland conditions. Understanding trends in coastal wetland condition and how stressors such as coastal storms and sea level rise affect them is important for managing these important ecosystems. Surface elevation and marker horizon data can be leveraged to determine if current management practices or environmental conditions are sustaining the desired functions and uses of the parks. Data collected under this protocol implementation plan are stored in the NPS Surface Elevation Table (SET) Monitoring Database (NPS I&M 2017). In addition to utilizing customized data handling and reporting procedures, this plan and its accompanying standard operating procedures (SOPs) set guidelines for data to be made available internally to park resource managers and employees along with publication to larger audiences via peer-reviewed reports and briefing statements.
