Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the concept of best practice at the Population Administrationand Civil Registration office of Kudus Regency. The study is implemented by applyingthe qualitative descriptive research methods. In terms of theoretical framework, thearticle refers to best practice theory. Best practice theory suggests criteria to examinepolicy innovation, namely impact, partnerships, sustainability, leadership, andinnovations in local contexts that can be transferred (transferability). The results of thisstudy indicate that the Population Administration and Civil Registry especially in theCivil Registry Population Service is categorized as good and feasible as a "Role Modelof Public Service Provider" for other regions. The commitment of agency leadership inimproving the quality of public services is commendable. In addition, the Kudus regencyalso provides facilitation and provides adequate infrastructure and facilities. Theimportant finding of the research also relates to several other factors such asdemocratic leadership style; adequate human resource capacity; and the improvedsupply system of the E-KTP form from central government is among the factors thatsupport the performance of population administration and civil registration services inKudus Regency. On the other hand, there are factors interfering the performance of theadmindukcapil. The factors are inadequate support of internet network in SIAK andunreliability of server. There is also a need to increase public awareness to completepopulation documents. In special cases, such as in time of national events such aselection, demand for completion of population documents increased significantly.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: to understand the organization of health practices, based on the interactions at the secondary care level, and to analyze how the actions and services at this level of care contribute to the development of best practice in health. METHOD: a qualitative approach, based in Grounded Theory. Data was obtained from individual interviews, with managers, health care professionals and health service users making up the sample group representing the secondary level of healthcare. The theoretical model was formulated based on four categories, analyzed based in the elements of the network modeling of health care theoretical framework. RESULTS: The organization of health practices at a secondary level is in the process of consolidation and is contributing to the development of best practices in the locale studied. CONCLUSION: The broadening of access to consultations and specialized procedures, and the articulation of the network's points, are aspects of this level of care which are considered essential for care which is effective and integral. This study contributes to the analysis of health practices from the perspective of network modeling, based on the interactions between secondary care and the health system's other health facilities, which are shown as going through a process of consolidation in the locale studied.

Abstract:
This article examines the approach adopted by a health service to benchmark outsidethe health industry and to network with its own suppliers in its quest for bestpractice. The Maryborough District Health Service was selected for funding underthe Commonwealth Government?s Best Practice in the Health Sector Program. Thisrural health service is setting a fine example of how generic benchmarking can beused to increase efficiency and improve outcomes in an environment of change,increasing demands and contracting resources. The organisation has networked withits suppliers with a view to ensuring that, as a customer, it has access to the bestquality goods and services. The objective is to improve the services and quality ofpatient care provided by the health service and to minimise its cost structures.

Abstract. The Austrian RADiation monitoring network (ARAD) has been established to advance the national climate monitoring and to support satellite retrieval, atmospheric modeling and the development of solar energy techniques. Measurements cover the downward solar and thermal infrared radiation using instruments according to Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) standards. A unique feature of ARAD is its vertical dimension of five stations, covering an altitude range between about 200 m a.s.l (Vienna) and 3100 m a.s.l. (BSRN site Sonnblick). The paper outlines the aims and scopes of ARAD, its measurement and calibration standards, methods, strategies and station locations. ARAD network operation uses innovative data processing for quality assurance and quality control, utilizing manual and automated control algorithms. A combined uncertainty estimate for the broadband shortwave radiation fluxes at all five ARAD stations, using the methodology specified by the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement indicates that relative accuracies range from 1.5 to 2.9 % for large signals (global, direct: 1000 W m−2, diffuse: 500 W m−2) and from 1.7 to 23 % (or 0.9 to 11.5 W m−2) for small signals (50 W m−2) (expanded uncertainties corresponding to the 95 % confidence level). If the directional response error of the pyranometers and the temperature response of the instruments and the data acquisition system (DAQ) are corrected, this expanded uncertainty reduces to 1.4 to 2.8 % for large signals and to 1.7 to 5.2 % (or 0.9–2.6 W m−2) for small signals. Thus, for large signals of global and diffuse radiation, BSRN target accuracies are met or nearly met (missed by less than 0.2 percentage points, pps) for 70 % of the ARAD measurements after this correction. For small signals of direct radiation, BSRN targets are achieved at two sites and nearly met (also missed by less than 0.2 pps) at the other sites. For small signals of global and diffuse radiation, targets are achieved at all stations. Additional accuracy gains can be achieved in the future through additional measurements, corrections and a further upgrade of the DAQ. However, to improve the accuracy of measurements of direct solar radiation, improved instrument accuracy is needed. ARAD could serve as a useful example for establishing state-of-the-art radiation monitoring at the national level with a multiple-purpose approach. Instrumentation, guidelines and tools (such as the data quality control) developed within ARAD are intended to increase monitoring capabilities of global radiation and thus designed to allow straightforward adoption in other regions, without high development costs.

Abstract:
La crisi dello stato sociale, che si trascina da quasi quarant’anni, unitamente agli effetti della crisi economica del 2007 hanno portato l’attenzione di imprese e istituzioni sul tema del welfare aziendale quale potenziale anello di congiunzione tra la ricerca di nuovi modelli per la competitività delle imprese e il processo di ricalibratura del welfare pubblico. Tuttavia, in Italia il fenomeno riguarda un numero ancora molto limitato di imprese – in prevalenza di grandi dimensioni -, prevalgono misure ancora non pienamente in grado di intercettare efficacemente i nuovi bisogni sociali e non si è ancora registrato un forte sviluppo di modelli in grado di coinvolgere il territorio per la generazione di reti di servizi che possano inserirsi a pieno titolo in un sistema di “secondo welfare”, ovvero un’arena in cui attori di natura diversa – fondazioni, associazioni, organizzazioni sindacali, associazioni datoriali, imprese, eccetera – mobilitano risorse non pubbliche per sviluppare servizi in grado di sostenere ed integrare il welfare pubblico da un punto divista quali-quantitativo. Uno dei modi per coniugare tali aspetti e contribuire allo sviluppo del welfare aziendale è ritenuto essere l’aggregazione tra aziende in rete. L’obbiettivo del presente lavoro è quello di fare chiarezza su quelle che possono essere le criticità e i vincoli, nonché il potenziale, delle reti nate per creare servizi di welfare comuni tra le aziende aderenti e valutare se effettivamente quello della rete può essere uno strumento in grado di portare a uno sviluppo del welfare aziendale in chiave territoriale e a portata delle imprese di piccole e medie dimensioni. La ricerca è stata svolta tramite la metodologia dello “studio di caso” e ha visto il coinvolgimento di due importanti realtà italiane. I risultati mostrano che le reti nate per la creazione di misure di welfare comuni possono agevolare l’avvicinamento delle PMI al tema del welfare aziendale e possono rappresentare un potenziale laboratorio di sperimentazione sul territorio per nuovi servizi in risposta a nuovi bisogni. Tuttavia, per facilitare tali processi occorre prestare particolare attenzione, in fase di progettazione della rete, alle caratteristiche di quello che sarà il territorio di riferimento, ai sistemi di relazioni industriali delle aziende partecipanti e ai meccanismi di regolamentazione interna.

Abstract:
Clinical decision-making about psychological interventions is best supported by robust evidence and informed patient choice. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the current gold standard in evaluating intervention effectiveness and identifying harm. At present, RCTs of psychological intervention are unlikely to include measurement of adverse effects and this is in part due to lack of consensus about this topic. A Delphi study was conducted with a panel of both professionals and people with personal experience of face-to-face psychotherapy across the spectrum of mental health difficulties to seek consensus on what to include on a measure of adverse effects. Fifty-four items derived from an initial list of 147 items generated by the panel, are included on the APTMOS outcome measure, which now in it's preliminary form now requires validation before use in RCTs. To date, the evidence for psychological interventions for psychosis and schizophrenia has not been synthesised, which is important to inform patient choice and decision-making. Network meta-analysis compares multiple interventions using direct evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and indirect evidence from the network. A systematic review of the literature identified 91 RCTs across 23 different intervention/control group categories. Psychological interventions were more effective at reducing total symptoms of psychosis than control groups. One intervention with a low risk of bias, mindfulness-based psychoeducation, was consistently identified as most effective, with large effect sizes. Subgroup analyses identified differential effectiveness in different settings and for different subgroups. Further high quality RCT evidence of the highest ranked interventions is required to inform updates to clinical guidelines of psychological interventions for psychosis.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to study the practice of networks in the crea- tive industries, which are thought to carry great economic, social and cultural po- tential inherent in them. The creative industries are said to be valuable especially for the development of a small and open economy like Finland. Networks, on the other hand, are identified as important in the business of micro entrepreneurial firms composing the creative industries, but the practice is still less researched. Thus, in order to better understand and support the needs of the creative industries regarding networks this thesis aims to identify best practices of networks in one specific creative industry of the small and open economy of Finland, the Finnish music industry. Seven Finnish music industry professionals including both men and women and representing different roles, music genres, lengths of careers and aspects of the Finnish music industry are face-to-face interviewed according to the method of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) focusing on successes and positive aspects instead of weaknesses and limitations. That is, with AI the Finnish music industry profes- sionals were encouraged to discuss their networks as part of their lives and work as truthfully and naturally as possible without pushing them to list some sort of requirements or expectations. A comprehensive list of best practices of networks is identified. Additional- ly, aspects of a great networking seminar are included in the list. Most important- ly, networks and relationships are said to mean everything to the Finnish music industry professionals interviewed in terms of developing their career and busi- ness as well as adding to their personal well-being. The findings discuss the ap- preciated aspects of and the appreciated elements received through networks. Al- so, the findings show how different practices of networks are needed in different situations in the lives of the Finnish music industry professionals interviewed and how different aspects of networks best serve their needs. To give an example, ap- preciated elements received through networks include information, ideas, advice, support, increase in happiness, facilitation of the work load, identification of new business opportunities, new opportunities through being recommended, progress business-wise, results, increase in the effectiveness of business, increase in the feeling of belonging to a community and new additional network contacts, and whereas the need to recognize new business opportunities, for example, is best satisfied with weak links, the need for support is better satisfied with strong ties.

Abstract:
Current site scale stormwater management designs typically include multiple distributed stormwater best management practices (BMPs), necessary to meet regulatory objectives for nutrient removal and groundwater recharge. Selection of the appropriate BMPs for a particular site requires consideration of contributing drainage area characteristics, such as soil type, area, and land cover. Other physical constraints such as karst topography, areas of highly concentrated pollutant runoff, etc. as well as economics, such as installation and operation and maintenance cost must be considered. Due to these multiple competing selection criteria and regulatory requirements, selection of optimal configurations of BMPs by manual iteration using conventional design tools is not tenable, and the resulting sub-optimal solutions are often biased. This dissertation addresses the need for an objective BMP selection optimization tool through definition of an objective function, selection of an optimization algorithm based on defined selection criteria, development of cost functions related to installation cost and operation and maintenance cost, and ultimately creation and evaluation of a new software tool that enables multi-objective user weighted selection of optimal BMP configurations. A software tool is developed using the nutrient and pollutant removal logic found in the Virginia Runoff Reduction Method (VRRM) spreadsheets. The resulting tool is tested by a group of stormwater professionals from the Commonwealth of Virginia for two case studies. Responses from case study participants indicate that use of the tool has a significant impact on the current engineering design process for selection of stormwater BMPs. They further indicate that resulting selection of stormwater BMPs through use of the optimization tool is more objective than conventional methods of design, and allows designers to spend more time evaluating solutions, rather than attempting to meet regulatory objectives.

Abstract:
The usage of social media such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook has expanded drastically. Today almost every organization has a Facebook page and a Twitter account that complements their webpage and their physical stores. However, why and how are they using these social medias?  This research focuses on why and how organizations are using Facebook and Twitter in their business strategy. More specifically, what methods and organizational strategies are used. The requirement for our research was that the organization had to had some success on these social medias but due to time and budget limitations, the research is restricted to three local organizations that have a national presence. Conducting primary data with three face-to-face semi-structured interviews and obtaining secondary data such as books, theses and academic journals we had the data to make an analysis about how Facebook and Twitter could make these three organizations gain competitive advantage.  By correctly utilizing the tools that social networking sites (SNS) provide; organizations can make way for a differentiation path that provides competitive advantage, build brand awareness, and provide statistical tools for evaluating customer behavior. One of the benefits of SNS is that they are virtually free to implement, both from a capital and human resource investment point of view. This research shows that organizations utilizing SNS in order to gain competitive advantage need to focus on creating a committed and engaged user base. By keeping in mind the drivers of differentiation: timing, location, linkages and scale, organizations transform their competitive advantage into a sustained competitive advantage.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mobile penetration in Ghana and the rest of Western Africa is reaching maturity. Mobile operators are looking for ways to complement their traditional revenue streams, as they cannot merely rely on voice and short message service (SMS) income anymore. Mobile value-added services are a good addition to the portfolio, bringing much needed services like transactional banking, commerce, information and entertainment, insurance, and health information services to mobile users that had difficult to no access to the above services until recently. South African mobile value-added services (VAS) companies that have a good relationship with market leading mobile providers, like MTN, have the opportunity to tap into the Ghanaian market as these services predominantly consist of mobile financial services products with limited functionality. Other specific services like agriculture, health, entertainment and insurance have been identified as mobile subscriber needs in the Ghanaian market. The benefit that South African mobile value-added companies have is that they already have developed similar well-functioning value-added services for the local market where comparisons with the Ghanaian market dynamics can be found. These companies can tailor them to the specific needs and requirements of the market in Ghana, saving them time and having the much-needed first mover advantage with regards to new or better mobile VAS in this market. Ghana is seen as the most stable country in the West African region and ease of doing business is good in comparison with neighbouring countries like Nigeria. Ghana is therefore a good entry point for South African mobile VAS companies in the West African market to truly scale their business model. The researcher chose to investigate the opportunities and best ways to enter this market by interviewing a project manager and managing director of a leading mobile value-added services company doing business in emerging economies, including Ghana. Questionnaires were also sent to employees working for various mobile VAS employers with extensive experience in the research and development of mobile VAS in these markets. The researcher derived information on the difficulty of doing business in Ghana; the current available VAS in the Ghanaian market; factors that hinder business growth in this market specifically; drivers of success; the importance of partnering with leading mobile operators like MTN to be successful; how the South African business model can be compatible; South African and other African trends that will most likely overflow to Ghana; together with the size data-enabled VAS which will form part of the portfolio of products that mobile VAS companies can offer and be market ready for in the near future. The findings of the researcher can be used as a starting framework to further investigate and determine specific market size and to conduct in-depth market analysis of the needs and requirements of mobile subscribers with regards to mobile VAS in Ghana with the vision of moving into the rest of Western Africa.

Abstract:
Software defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) is a relatively new concept for enterprises to structure their networks throughout sites. This thesis was to find best practices for enterprises wanting to transition their current infrastructure to SD-WAN with multiple factors considered. To accomplish this, results gathered from literature reviews, lab testing and interviews with employees from two different enterprises was made.  What was accomplished from the literature review was an overview from Equity Office’s transition to SD-WAN which gave a positive result, as well as a cost of ownership tests with Talari SD-WAN units by NSS Labs. Lab testing with Talari SD-WAN units and a cloud site from Amazon Web Services resulted in improvements in performance and stability compared to a local traditional setup to the cloud site, especially on multiple simultaneous connections. Lastly, results from interviews provided deep insight on how the enterprises planned the transition, what results were expected as well as gained profits in forms of cost and effectivity.  A definitive best practice which every enterprise should follow could not be made. Instead, best practices were found by factoring in different criteria that are unique for different enterprises. For future work, narrowing down to one methodology with more resources, could help in obtaining more realistic and accurate results.
Mjukvarudefinierade wide area networks (SD-WAN) är ett relativt nytt koncept för företag att strukturera sina nätverk genom sina kontor. Projektets mål var att hitta bästa praxis för företag som vill övergå från sin nuvarande infrastruktur till SD-WAN med hänsyn till flera faktorer. För att uppnå detta samlades resultat in från litteraturstudier, tester med laboration och intervjuer med anställda från två olika företag.  Det som uppnåddes från litteraturstudien var en översikt över Equity Offices övergång till SD-WAN vilket gav ett positivt resultat, samt en överblick av tester på ägandekostnader med Talari SD-WAN enheter som utfördes av NSS Labs. Tester med Talari SD-WAN enheter och en molnuppsättning på Amazon Web Services resulterade i förbättringar i prestanda och stabilitet jämfört med en lokal traditionell uppsättning till molnet, särskilt vid parallella anslutningar. Slutligen gav resultaten från intervjuer en djup inblick i hur företagen planerade övergången, vilka resultat som förväntades samt vinster i form av kostnad och effektivitet.  En slutgiltig bästa praxis som varje företag bör följa kunde inte bestämmas. Istället hittades bästa praxis genom att ta hänsyn till olika kriterier som är unika för olika företag. För framtida arbeten kan man smala ner arbetet till en typ av metodik med mer resurser, för att hjälpa till med att få mer realistiska och korrekta resultat.

Abstract:
This ex post facto study (N = 209) examined the relationships between employer job strategies and job retention among organizations participating in Florida welfare-to-work network programs and associated the strategies with job retention data to determine best practices. An internet-based self-report survey battery was administered to a heterogeneous sampling of organizations participating in the Florida welfare-to-work network program. Hypotheses were tested through correlational and hierarchical regression analytic procedures. The partial correlation results linked each of the job retention strategies to job retention. Wages, benefits, training and supervision, communication, job growth, work/life balance, fairness and respect were all significantly related to job retention. Hierarchical regression results indicated that the training and supervision variable was the best predictor of job retention in the regression equation. The size of the organization was also a significant predictor of job retention. Large organizations reported higher job retention rates than small organizations. There was no statistical difference between the types of organizations (profit-making and non-profit) and job retention. The standardized betas ranged from to .26 to .41 in the regression equation. Twenty percent of the variance in job retention was explained by the combination of demographic and job retention strategy predictors, supporting the theoretical, empirical, and practical relevance of understanding the association between employer job strategies and job retention outcomes. Implications for adult education and human resource development theory, research, and practice are highlighted as possible strategic leverage points for creating conditions that facilitate the development of job strategies as a means for improving former welfare workers’ job retention.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter takes a deep dive into the practice of transformative change. It suggests that transformation literacy needs to incorporate the understanding that achieving the vision of vital and regenerative systems requires actors to drive change that models the future systems aliveness. Only then can they become successful transformation systems. Practical experience gives evidence that the shift to transformative impact happens best in enlivening networks across systems, in what is called transformation networks. This chapter shows that a necessary systemic perspective on transformation network means they can and need to be strategically built. It introduces six transformation networkenablers that support such strategic guidance in building networks, that were used in two practical examples of setting up transformation networks. The first example is on the local level and looks at a network of youth civil society for good governance in central Tunisia. The second example is on the other end of the spectrum: it examines a global network of professionals towards a new economic future.

Abstract:
The origins of the concept of benchmarking show us the reason for its popularity primarily under the pressures of rapid internationalization in a wider context. The international competitiveness, the ‘movement’ for qualities, and the rapid growth of information technology, which has made sophisticated data collection possible, were usually identified as main economic and social impacts on the practice’s implementation. Even the main key activities of the European Network for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) are training and advisory support, this paper aim is to analyze the network's other tasks such as dissemination of general information, experiences, and good practices. How is it possible to transfer the best practices and techniques across institutions and across cultures efficiently and rapidly? Evaluation for accreditation purposes has been used in some Eastern European countries, such as Croatia, to determine the minimum level of degree programs. This paper summarizes policy recommendations made by European evaluation experts.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of various stem cell types, sources and routes of administration on chronic decompensated cirrhosis by using network meta-analysis. Condition being studied: Liver cirrhosis is an important public health problem that puzzles the world. It is divided into compensatory stage and decompensated stage. Once the patient enters decompensated stage, the treatment is very limited, and liver transplantation is currently the best and only approach to improve the survival rate of decompensated cirrhosis4. However, liver transplantation is difficult to be widely applied due to the lack of donor organs and high cost. Therefore, it is very important to study the alternative treatment of liver transplantation. Stem cell therapy as a promising frontier treatment for decompensated cirrhosis, is becoming one of the best feasible alternatives to liver transplantation in recent 20 years. It is very important and necessary to optimize the factors such as cell sources, types, and delivery route, etc. before taking stem cell therapy as a routine clinical treatment. It is believed that the network meta-analysis of the efficacy of various types of stem cells from different sources and routes of administration in the treatment of chronic decompensated cirrhosis can provide useful very clues for clinical practice.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The type of study was clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT). The object of study is the patients with HFMD. There is no limit to gender and race. In the case of clear diagnosis standard, curative effect judgment standard and consistent baseline treatment, the experimental group was treated with pure oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine(A: Fuganlin oral liquid, B: huangzhihua oral liquid, C: Lanqin oral liquid, D: antiviral oral liquid, E: Huangqin oral liquid, F: Pudilan oral liquid, G: Shuanghuanglian oral liquid.)and the control group was treated with ribavirin or any oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine. The data were extracted by two researchers independently, cross checked and reviewed according to the pre-determined tables. The data extraction content is (1) Basic information (including the first author, published journal and year, research topic). (2) Relevant information (including number of cases, total number of cases, gender, age, intervention measures, course of treatment of the experimental group and the control group in the literature). (3) Design type and quality evaluation information of the included literature. (4) Outcome measures (effective rate, healing time of oral ulcer, regression time of hand and foot rash, regression time of fever, adverse reactions.). The seven traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids are comparable in clinical practice, but their actual clinical efficacy is lack of evidence-based basis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use the network meta-analysis method to integrate the clinical relevant evidence of direct and indirect comparative relationship, to make quantitative comprehensive statistical analysis and sequencing of different oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine with the same evidence body for the treatment of the disease, and then to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the efficacy and safety of different oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine to get the best treatment plan, so as to provide reference value and evidence-based medicine evidence for clinical optimization of drug selection. Condition being studied: Hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in pediatrics caused by a variety of enteroviruses. Its clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by persistent fever, hand foot rash, oral herpes, ulcers, etc. Because it is often found in preschool children, its immune system development is not perfect, so it is very vulnerable to infection by pathogens and epidemic diseases, resulting in rapid progress of the disease. A few patients will also have neurogenic pulmonary edema Meningitis, myocarditis and other serious complications even lead to death, so effectively improve the cure rate, shorten the course of disease, prevent the deterioration of the disease as the focus of the study. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the research of antiviral treatment. Many clinical practices have confirmed that oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine can effectively play the role of antiviral and improve the body's immunity.

García-Mantilla, Daniel. PLAC Network Best Practices Series: Target-Income Design of Incentives, Benchmark Portfolios and Performance Metrics for Pension Funds. Inter-American Development Bank, June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003599.

Full text
Abstract:
In defined contribution systems, at the end of the accumulation phase the assets in the retirement account are exchanged for a pension. The conversion rate from assets to retirement income (which depends on the level of interest rates) is very volatile, and its variations constitute the main investment risk facing pension fund affiliates. In this sense, performance metrics, management fees and benchmark portfolios that focus on assets (and asset returns) and ignore the variations in the conversion rate, embed several problems: i. they send wrong signals to regulators, fund managers and workers, ii. they provide wrong incentives to pension fund management companies, and iii. they leave pension fund affiliates exposed to their largest risk factor, even during the last few years preceding their retirement date. We find that regulatory incentives with these fundamental problems are ubiquitous in the region. The document presents a series of best practices, and delivers a practical set of tools to assist regulators and supervisors in designing a framework that improves security and sufficiency of retirement income, and provides relevant and timely information to pension fund affiliates. The framework achieves that by fostering an integration of the accumulation and the payout phases, and an alignment of the regulatory incentives for pension fund management companies with the retirement income objectives of pension fund affiliates. Using historical data from Colombia as a case study, the document illustrates and quantifies the improvements in terms of pension benefits and retirement income security that the proposed framework could bring.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the years, public transit agencies have been trying to improve their operations by continuously evaluating best practices to better serve patrons. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) oversees the transit bus operations in the Washington Metropolitan Area (District of Columbia, some parts of Maryland and Virginia). One practice attempted by WMATA to improve bus travel time and transit reliability has been the implementation of designated bus lanes (DBLs). The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) implemented a bus priority program on selected corridors in the District of Columbia leading to the installation of red-painted DBLs on corridors of H Street, NW, and I Street, NW. This study evaluates the impacts on the performance of transit buses along with the general traffic performance at intersections on corridors with DBLs installed in Washington, DC by using a “before” and “after” approach. The team utilized non-intrusive video data to perform vehicular turning movement counts to assess the traffic flow and delays (measures of effectiveness) with a traffic simulation software. Furthermore, the team analyzed the Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) data provided by WMATA for buses operating on the study segments to evaluate bus travel time. The statistical analysis showed that the vehicles traveling on H Street and I Street (NW) experienced significantly lower delays during both AM (7:00–9:30 AM) and PM (4:00–6:30 PM) peak hours after the installation of bus lanes. The approximation error metrics (normalized squared errors) for the testing dataset was 0.97, indicating that the model was predicting bus travel times based on unknown data with great accuracy. WMATA can apply this research to other segments with busy bus schedules and multiple routes to evaluate the need for DBLs. Neural network models can also be used to approximate bus travel times on segments by simulating scenarios with DBLs to obtain accurate bus travel times. Such implementation could not only improve WMATA’s bus service and reliability but also alleviate general traffic delays.

Abstract:
Research studies from a range of countries indicate that, despite differences in policies, youth who age out of state care have significant similarities in outcomes globally. These young people have difficulty finding stable and affordable housing; accessing a social network, healthcare, and supportive and safe social relationships; and engaging in education, training, and employment. The present report, focused on youth aging out of residential care and detention in Belize, aims to contribute to the growing literature on frameworks, models, programs, and best practices to address service gaps and barriers and improve outcomes for youth transitioning to post care. The report presents a diagnostic of available services to support youth in Belize to successfully transition to post-care and provides recommendations to strengthen services that improve their post-care outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
Interdepartmental Memorandum of Understanding (IMOU) 5170 between Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and Transport Canada Innovation Centre (TC-IC) aims to gain new insight into slow-moving landslides, and the influence of climate change, through testing conventional and emerging monitoring technologies. IMOU 5107 focuses on strategically important sections of the national railway network in the Thompson River valley, British Columbia (BC), and the Assiniboine River valley along the borders of Manitoba (MN) and Saskatchewan (SK). Results of this research are applicable elsewhere in Canada (e.g., the urban-rural-industrial landscapes of the Okanagan Valley, BC), and around the world where slow-moving landslides and climate change are adversely affecting critical socio-economic infrastructure. Open File 8931 outlines landslide mapping and changedetection monitoring protocols based on the successes of IMOU 5170 and ICL-IPL Project 202 in BC. In this region, ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost, rivers and oceans, high relief, and biogeoclimatic characteristics contribute to produce distinctive rapid and slow-moving landslide assemblages that have the potential to impact railway infrastructure and operations. Bedrock and drift-covered slopes along the transportation corridors are prone to mass wasting when favourable conditions exist. In high-relief mountainous areas, rapidly moving landslides include rock and debris avalanches, rock and debris falls, debris flows and torrents, and lahars. In areas with moderate to low relief, rapid to slow mass movements include rockslides and slumps, debris or earth slides and slumps, and earth flows. Slow-moving landslides include rock glaciers, rock and soil creep, solifluction, and lateral spreads in bedrock and surficial deposits. Research efforts lead to a better understanding of how geological conditions, extreme weather events and climate change influence landslide activity along the national railway corridor. Combining field-based landslide investigation with multi-year geospatial and in-situ time-series monitoring leads to a more resilient railway national transportation network able to meet Canada's future socioeconomic needs, while ensuring protection of the environment and resource-based communities from landslides related to extreme weather events and climate change. InSAR only measures displacement in the east-west orientation, whereas UAV and RTK-GNSS change-detection surveys capture full displacement vectors. RTK-GNSS do not provide spatial coverage, whereas InSAR and UAV surveys do. In addition, InSAR and UAV photogrammetry cannot map underwater, whereas boat-mounted bathymetric surveys reveal information on channel morphology and riverbed composition. Remote sensing datasets, consolidated in a geographic information system, capture the spatial relationships between landslide distribution and specific terrain features, at-risk infrastructure, and the environmental conditions expected to correlate with landslide incidence and magnitude. Reliable real-time monitoring solutions for critical railway infrastructure (e.g., ballast, tracks, retaining walls, tunnels, and bridges) able to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of Canada are highlighted. The provision of fundamental geoscience and baseline geospatial monitoring allows stakeholders to develop robust risk tolerance, remediation, and mitigation strategies to maintain the resilience and accessibility of critical transportation infrastructure, while also protecting the natural environment, community stakeholders, and Canadian economy. We propose a best-practice solution involving three levels of investigation to describe the form and function of the wide range of rapid and slow-moving landslides occurring across Canada that is also applicable elsewhere. Research activities for 2022 to 2025 are presented by way of conclusion.

Full text
Abstract:
As stormwater regulations for hydrologic and water quality control become increasingly stringent, Department of Defense (DoD) facilities are faced with the daunting task of complying with multiple laws and regulations. This often requires facilities to plan, design, and implement structural best management practices (BMPs) to capture, filter, and/or infiltrate runoff—requirements that can be complicated, contradictory, and difficult to plan. This project demonstrated the Stormwater Management Optimization Toolbox (SMOT), a spreadsheet-based tool that effectively analyzes and plans for compliance to the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 pre-hydrologic conditions through BMP implementation, resulting in potential cost savings by reducing BMP sizes while simultaneously achieving compliance with multiple objectives. SMOT identifies the most cost-effective modeling method based on an installation’s local conditions (soils, rainfall patterns, drainage network, and regulatory requirements). The work first demonstrated that the Model Selection Tool (MST) recommendation accurately results in the minimum BMP cost for 45 facilities of widely varying climatic and regional conditions, and then demonstrated SMOT at two facilities.
