Abstract:
The command and control system of NATO's joint operations requires large scale command posts, large numbers of stuff, and spacious, big sized infrastructure that even to operate are cumbersome, but also are an extremely attractive target for the adversary due to its extensive infrastructure and large supporting staff. The Alliance will face unpredictable challenges in the future, extending beyond traditional operational domains such asspace and cyberspace. On top of that, the operations will extent to the full spectrum of operations, that is from low-intensity peacetime military engagement to high-intensity war conflict. These trends will further increase the size of the command posts. This paper presents the requirements for future operational staffs and command posts, while trying to find answers to emerging challenges.

Abstract:
Published Article
The medical biological and ecosystemic models are two paradigms which are currently making a huge impact on education support services on an international level. The medical biological model has been dominating the way in which multidisciplinary support has been delivered within 20th-century special education. However, with the advent of inclusive education, the ecosystemic model has initially been pushed to the fore as the preferred metatheory of support services. This article specifically interrogates these two conflicting paradigms in education support services within the South African schooling and higher education bands, as well as Bronfenbrenner's integration of these models with regard to the bio-ecological model. Finally, this article proposes the bio-ecosystemic framework according to which the training of multidisciplinary education support services staff should proceed in order to ensure a sound and less conflicting theoretical framework.

Abstract:
AbstractPathology and its laboratories are central in support of every facet of cancer care in a CCC center, from diagnosis, to patient support during treatment, research, therapeutic drug manufacture and development and bio-banking.We have approached this discussion from the perspective of the timeline of a patient’s journey through cancer care. We begin with screening programs, high quality diagnostics and then maintaining quality supportive cancer care. Specialised services such as cellular therapies and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation with their unique requirements are considered and lastly we discuss the vital role of clinical trials and research in comprehensive cancer care with a focus on biobanks.We also examine the role of the diagnostic laboratories and their clinical and scientific staff in shaping an integrated cancer diagnostic report, as an integral part of a cancer Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) or “Tumour Board”. Increasingly, integration of a large amount of clinical data, laboratory results and interpretation of complex molecular and genomic datasets is required to underpin the role of CCC’s as centres of clinical excellence and to collaborate with partners in local, national and international research protocols.

Abstract:
Abstract New emerging digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, cloud computing, blockchain, robotization, the Internet of Things, big data, etc. have produced a powerful disruptive effect in almost all areas of our existence and have radically changed the way we live, work, learn or relax. Without consciously realizing it, everyone is adapting to the digital era. As nothing “escapes” the all-encompassing digital transformation, higher education follows track too. So, it is natural to ask ourselves: what are the higher education institutions doing to keep up with this rapidly evolving digital world? In this paper, we present the case of West University of Timişoara as an example of good practice in dealing with the effects of digital transformation on the university and its academic community (teachers, students, administrative staff). Our goal is to gain an understanding of what is being proposed through the institutional development strategy, and what is actually happening in our university from the digitalization perspective. Thus, we conduct an exploratory research using a quantitative approach that involves a survey applied to students enrolled in different study programs, at different levels. We focus on their opinion about how our university can prepare and transform in order to adopt an integrated digital approach, looking into topics like: technology-enabled services, digital enrollment of students, digitization of the administrative processes, implementation of digital procedures to offer recommendations or file complains, digital curricula, new modes of digital learning delivery, etc. Our findings reveal that West University of Timişoara must take significant steps towards the implementation of digital transformations, while, however, remaining watchful and cautious of the hidden implications of this process.

Abstract:
AbstractLiving in a long-term care (LTC) institution provides older people experiencing health and social problems with a comprehensive range of support services that address their quality of life. Despite access to such services, challenges arise in relation to their participation in key activities both within and outside the institution. This chapter examines such challenges, reviewing and describing ways to prevent exclusion along various domains, specifically social relationships, civic participation and socio-cultural life. Firstly, we discuss ways in which bio-medical models of care and the quality control systems, which are dominant in LTC services, standardise care, tending to put decisions exclusively in hands of staff, taking away residents’ autonomy, and ultimately curtailing rights and citizenship status. Secondly, we examine how LTC services might prevent such exclusion and promote older people’s participation in at least four respects: (1) prompting and supporting residents’ ability to take decisions on their own care, (2) favouring the maintenance and creation of social relationships, (3) enabling residents’ participation in the activities and management of the institution, and (4) guaranteeing residents’ rights and full access to citizenship. We discuss the impact and limitations of recent initiatives put into practice in these areas of practice.

Full text
Abstract:
As industrial plant ages, site management are faced with the decision of whether to replace or refurbish equipment. In many instances the continual exposure to the plant will give maintenance staff and operators an instinctive feel which items of plant are candidates for replacement, refurbishment or overhaul. This “instinct” is not auditable and certainly not in a form presentable to the decision makers. This paper presents a methodology that quantifies the decision on whether to replace or refurbish and in doing so, provides a means for introducing traceability and repeatability into the decision process. In the “KOF” analysis, the acronym for “Keep or Flick”, developed in this paper, four core considerations are treated: the current condition of the plant; the hazard that the equipment presents to the plant and its personnel; the relevancy of the design with respect to current technologies and; the adequacy of the equipment for production and process requirements. Questions targeting each core consideration are weighted by an importance factor to give a quantitative ranking of a piece of equipment. The ranking provides clear appraisal on which equipment are suited for replacement and which are not. Those that fall in between need to be subject to a more rigorous assessment. This paper presents the methodology and reviews the approach as applied to a large segment of aging plant. The outcome was well accepted and has potential to be applied more widely to all varieties of equipment.

Full text
Abstract:
Exotic plant populations can be potentially catastrophic to the natural communities of South Florida. Aggressive exotics such as Brazillian Pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) and Melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquinervia) have displaced native habitats and formed monocultures of exotic stands (Dalrymple et al. 2003). Nearby plant nurseries, especially the ones outside the boundaries of Biscayne National Park (BISC) and Everglades National Park (EVER), are a continuous source of new exotic species that may become established within South Florida’s national parks. Early detection and rapid response to these new species of exotic plants is important to maintaining the integrity of the parks’ natural habitats and is a cost-effective approach to management. The South Florida/Caribbean Network (SFCN) developed the South Florida/Caribbean Network Early Detection Protocol for Exotic Plants to target early detection of these potential invaders. Three national parks of South Florida are monitored for invasive, exotic plants using this protocol: Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY), Biscayne National Park (BISC), and Everglades National Park (EVER). These national parks include some 2,411,000 acres (3,767.2 square miles [mi2]) that encompass a variety of habitat types. To monitor the entire area for new species would not be feasible; therefore the basic approach of this protocol is to scan major “corridors of invasiveness,” e.g., paved and unpaved roads, trails, trail heads, off road vehicle (ORV) trails, boat ramps, canals, and campgrounds, for exotic plant species new to the national parks of South Florida. Sampling is optimized using a two- to three-person crew: a trained botanist, a certified herbicide applicator, and optionally a SFCN (or IPMT [Invasive Plant Management Team]) staff member or park staff to take photographs and help with data collection. If infestations are small, they are treated immediately by the herbicide applicator. If large, they are reported to park staff and the Invasive Plant Management Team. The sampling domain is partitioned into five regions, with one region sampled per year. Regions include the terrestrial habitats of Biscayne National Park, the eastern region of Everglades National Park, the western region of Everglades National Park, the northern region of Big Cypress National Preserve, and the southern region of Big Cypress National Preserve. Monitoring of roads, trails, and canals occurs while traveling into and through the parks (i.e., travel at 2–10 mph) using motorized vehicles, airboats, and/or hiking. Campgrounds, boat launches, trailheads, and similar areas, involve complete searches. When an exotic plant is observed, a GPS location is obtained, and coordinates are taken of the plant. Photographs are not taken for every exotic plant encountered, but photographs will be taken for new and unusual species (for example a coastal exotic found in inland habitats). Information recorded at each location includes the species name, size of infestation, abundance, cover class, any treatment/control action taken, and relevant notes. During the surveys, a GPS “track” is also recorded to document the areas surveyed and a field of view is estimated. Field notes, pictures, and GPS data are compiled, entered, and analyzed in a Microsoft Access database. Resource briefs (and optional data summary reports) and associated shapefiles and data are then produced and sent to contacts within the corresponding national parks.

Abstract:
In 2021, recreation visits to National Park Service (NPS) sites rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic-driven low visitation of 2020 and climbed to 297,115,406 recreation visits. This is an increase of 60 million recreation visits (+25.3%) from 2020 and a decrease of 30 million recreation visits (-9.3%) from 2019. Recreation visitor hours were 1,356,657,749 – a 28.6% increase from 2020 and a 5.1% decrease from 2019. Total overnight stays followed a similar pattern with 12,745,455 overnight stays – up 4.7 million (+58.5%) from 2020 and down 1.1 million (-8%) from 2019. Five parks were added to the reporting system in 2021: Alagnak Wild River in Alaska, Camp Nelson National Monument in Kentucky, Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument in Mississippi, Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument in Nevada, and World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C. These parks were responsible for over 629,000 recreation visits in 2021. Factors influencing visits to National Park System units in 2021 include: continuing closures and limited capacities due to COVID-19 mitigation at some parks, temporary closures for wildland fires in 2021 (eleven parks), severe regional smoke/haze from ongoing wildland fires throughout the summer and early autumn affecting parks in the western half and northern tier of states in the continental U.S., two hurricanes in 2021 – both in August – impacted visitation: Hurricane Henri caused temporary closures of some parks in the northeast and Hurricane Ida caused temporary closures of parks along the Gulf Coast and generated some heavy flooding in the northeast, hurricanes and wildland fires in previous years resulting in lingering closures, most notably Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, the Carr and Woolsey Fires in 2018, Hurricane Dorian in 2019, the Caldwell, Cameron Peak, East Troublesome, and Woodward Fires in 2020, and Hurricane Sally in 2020. Forty-four parks set a record for recreation visits in 2021 and 6 parks broke a record they set in 2020. See Appendix A for a list of record parks. The number of reporting units with over 10 million recreation visits was the same as in recent years (3 parks) and 73 parks had over 1 million recreation visits. Twenty-five percent of total recreation visits occurred in the top 8 parks and fifty percent of total visitation occurred in the top 25 parks. Several parks passed annual visitation milestones including Capulin Volcano NM which passed 100,000 annual recreation visits for the first time, Big Bend NP and Devils Tower NM which each passed 500,000 annual recreation visits for the first time, and Zion NP which passed 5 million visits for the first time. Other parks passed milestones for accumulated recreation visits including Hamilton Grange NMEM (1968-2021) and Palo Alto Battlefield NHP (2003-2021) each passing 1 million total recreation visits, Voyageurs NP (1976-2021) passing 10 million total recreation visits, and Hot Springs NP (1904-2021) passing 100 million total recreation visits. Population center designations were updated in 2021 to reflect overlap of park boundaries with statistical areas from the 2020 U.S. Census. Many population center changes reflect increases in local population as indicated by parks changing from rural to outlying or from outlying to suburban. Other changes reflect increasing complexity in population density as parks changed from a single designation, such as rural or suburban, to a mixed designation. See the Definitions section for population center definitions and Table B.1 for previous and updated population center designations by park. In the pages that follow, a series of tables and figures display visitor use data for calendar year 2021. By documenting these visits across the National Park System, the NPS Statistical Abstract offers a historical record of visitor use in parks and provides NPS staff and partners with a useful tool for effective management and planning. In 2021, 394 of 423 NPS units...

Weissinger, Rebecca. Evaluation of hanging-garden endemic-plant monitoring at Southeast Utah Group national parks, 2013–2020. Edited by Alice Wondrak Biel. National Park Service, October 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2294868.

Abstract:
Hanging gardens are the most common type of spring at Arches National Park (NP) and Natural Bridges National Monument (NM). They are also present at Canyonlands National Park, but hanging gardens are rare off the Colorado Plateau. Their cliffside setting provides stable access to water without flood disturbance. This combination provides unique habitat that is rich in endemic plant species. The diffuse, seeping emergence of water makes measuring springflow impossible at most sites. Park managers have an interest in monitoring hanging gardens—especially as the climate warms and aridity and water demand both increase. The Northern Colorado Plateau Net-work (NCPN) proposed methods for monitoring seven perennial endemic-plant species at hanging gardens as indicators of spring health and proxies for water availability. Because hanging gardens occur on bedrock outcrops, systematic or random sampling was not possible due to safety concerns and potential resource damage on steep, wet slopes. Examining eight years (2013–2020) of data, this report evaluates the suitability of endemic-plant count data at hanging gardens as a monitoring indicator. It also provides our first evaluation of status and trends at NCPN hanging gardens. The seven species included in monitoring were Rydberg’s thistle (Cirsium rydbergii), Kachina daisy (Erigeron kachinensis), alcove death camas (Zigadenus vaginatus), alcove bog orchid (Habenaria zothecina), cave primrose (Primula specuicola), alcove columbine (Aquilegia micrantha), and Eastwood’s monkeyflower (Mimulus eastwoodiae). Six of the seven species were found at each park. Up to 500 individuals of each species were counted at 42 hanging gardens in Arches NP, 14 hanging gardens in Natural Bridges NM, and 3 hanging gardens in Canyonlands NP. Larger populations were divided into count classes of 501–1,000, 1,001–10,000, and more than 10,000 individuals. Counts from two independent observers and from back-to-back years of sampling were compared for repeatability. Repeatability in count classes was less than 50% for Kachina daisy and Eastwood’s monkeyflower, which both propagate vegetatively via ramets and/or stolons. Repeatability was greater than 90% for only one species, Rydberg’s thistle. The remaining species were categorized in different classes between 15–40% of the time. Independent-observer comparisons were only available for 6.6% of the dataset, but these observations suggested that (1) observer bias was present and (2) the observer with more experience working in hanging gardens generally had higher counts than the observer with less experience in this system. Although repeatability was variable, it was within the range reported by other studies for most species. The NCPN, in discussion with park staff, has elected to make some modifications to the protocol but will continue using endemic plant counts as an indicator of hanging-garden health to maintain a biological variable as a complement to our physical-response data. This is due to their high value to park biodiversity and the difficulty of developing a more robust approach to monitoring in these sites. Endemic-plant monitoring will continue for the five species with the highest repeatability during pilot monitoring and will focus on detecting changes in smaller populations. Most hanging gardens have more than one endemic species present, so several populations can be tracked at each site. Our period of record is relatively brief, and the distribution of endemic-plant populations in different count classes at these sites has not yet shown any statistical trends over time. Be-cause of the large count classes, our methods are more sensitive to showing change in smaller populations (fewer than 500 individuals). Small populations are also of greatest concern to park managers because of their vulnerability to declines or extirpation due to drought. Over-all, more sites had endemic-plant populations of fewer than 100 individuals at the end...

Abstract:
Das Forschungsvorhaben “Entwicklung eines Stoffflussmodells und Leitfadens zur Emis-sionsminderung von Mikroschadstoffen im Hinblick auf die Wasserqualität“ (MikroModell) wurde im Zeitraum von Oktober 2015 bis Juni 2020 von der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt, dem Sächsischen Staatsministerium für Umwelt und Landwirtschaft (heute Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Energie, Klimaschutz, Umwelt und Landwirtschaft) sowie der Gelsenwasser AG gefördert. An dem interdisziplinären Projektkonsortium waren ne-ben den Betreibern der Abwassersysteme und -anlagen in Dresden, Chemnitz und Plauen Wissenschaftler:innen aus den Bereichen der Siedlungswasserwirtschaft, Hydrobiologie, Ökotoxikologie, Wasserchemie, Umweltökonomie, Pharmakologie an der Technischen Universität Dresden sowie des Wirtschafts- und Regulierungsrechts an der Technischen Univer-sität Bergakademie Freiberg beteiligt. In MikroModell wurde anhand unterschiedlich dicht besiedelter sächsischer Regionen untersucht, welche Verbesserungen der Gewässerqualität durch technologische Maßnahmen im Abwassersystem, durch Reduktionsmaßnahmen an der Quelle und in der Anwendung, durch rechtliche Steuerungsmaßnahmen auf EU-, Bundes- und Landesebene sowie durch Aktivitäten im Rahmen einer regional fokussierten Öffentlichkeitsarbeit erzielt werden können, um so eine effiziente und nachhaltige Entwicklung zu befördern. Dazu wurden sowohl Substanzen der Liste prioritärer Stoffe als auch weitere Spurenstoffe an Hand verfügbarer Umweltqualitätsnormen (UQN) bewertet. Der Bericht ist in zwei Teilen organisiert. Teil A beinhaltet den Handlungsleitfaden und richtet sich an Entscheidungsträger und Betreiberorganisationen, beschreibt also die praxisrelevanten Folgerungen aus den Untersuchungen. In Teil B werden die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen und die Untersuchungsmethoden detailliert erläutert sowie ausgewählte Ergebnisse diskutiert. In Teil A wird eine systematische Vorgehensweise zur Bewertung der Relevanz von ab-wasserbürtigen Mikroschadstoffen und zur Entscheidungsfindung bzgl. Optionen zur Reduktion der Gewässerbelastung mit Mikroschadstoffen vorgestellt (Kapitel A-2). Die Durchführungsempfehlung ist in einem Prozessschema zusammengefasst, das die Maß-nahmenfindung als gemeinsamen Weg von Aufgabenträgern und Behörden beschreibt. Grundlage für die Bewertung der aktuellen Situation bildet die Auswertung der Gewäs-sergütedaten des LfULG (2009 – 2018) und zweier 21-Tage Monitoringkampagnen an den Kläranlagen-Standorten Dresden, Chemnitz und Plauen. IX Die Auswirkungen von Maßnahmen im technologischen Bereich und an der Quelle werden mittels Stoffflussmodellierung aufgezeigt. In Teil A werden dazu Simulationsergebnisse für Dresden, Chemnitz und Plauen herangezogen, die zeigen, dass sich für unter-schiedliche Einzugsgebiete und Stoffe unterschiedliche Maßnahmen als effektiv erweisen (Kapitel A-3). Darüber hinaus erweist sich auch die Definition der Zielgrößen als maßge-bend für die Priorisierung von Maßnahmen. Es gilt den Diskurs dazu anzustoßen. Neben konkreten technologischen Handlungsoptionen und Bewirtschaftungsansätzen an der Quelle werden auch rechtliche Handlungsoptionen in die Betrachtung miteinbezogen (Kapitel A-4). Um die Verwendungen und den Eintrag von Mikroschadstoffen aus Pflan-zenschutzmitteln, Arzneimitteln sowie Industrie- und Haushaltschemikalien mittel- und langfristig zu vermindern, wurden konkrete Empfehlungen zur Anwendung bzw. zu Anpassungen in den Bereichen des Wasser-, Arzneimittel- (Human- & Tierarzneimittelrecht), Chemikalien-, Düngemittel-, Pflanzenschutz- und Biozidrechts herausgearbeitet. Schließlich werden flankierende Aktivitäten zur Information ausgewählter Multiplikatoren und zur Aufklärung der Öffentlichkeit als unerlässlich erkannt und beschrieben (Kapitel A-5). Neben Maßnahmen zur Sensibilisierung der Bürger wurden insbesondere Kommunikationsveranstaltungen mit Ärzten und Apothekern durchgeführt. Dabei wurde zielgerichtet ein Verständnis für den nachhaltigen Einsatz und die gesicherte Entsorgung von Arzneimitteln vermittelt und allgemein das Bewusstsein geschärft, dass verschriebene Wirksubstanzen als solche oder metabolisiert/transformiert im Abwasser und ggf. im Gewässer wiederzufinden sind. Die Zusammenarbeit mit der Ärzteschaft erscheint nicht nur als zentraler Baustein zukunftsgerichteten Handelns wichtig, sondern wird auch als erfolgsversprechend angesehen. Der in Teil A vorgestellte Handlungsleitfaden vermittelt letztlich keine absolute Priorisierung von Handlungsoptionen, da sich für unterschiedliche Zielsetzungen und unter-schiedliche Bedingungen eine veränderte Priorisierung ergibt. Es wird aber der Weg hin zur Identifikation der unter den gegebenen Bedingungen besten Handlungsoption bzw. einer erfolgsversprechenden Kombination von Handlungsoptionen aufgezeigt. Dieses systematische Vorgehen wurde zwar am Beispiel von drei Pilotgebieten durchgespielt und für Sachsen flächendeckend aufbereitet, ist aber letztlich übertragbar auf andere Gebiete Deutschlands oder Europas. In Teil B werden die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen sowie ausgewählte Ergebnisse des Projektes erläutert – sofern sie nicht schon in Teil A, den Handlungsleitfaden, eingeflossen sind (siehe den rechtlichen Handlungsrahmen sowie die Empfehlungen für die Öffentlich-keitsarbeit). Teil B ist in drei Kapitel unterteilt: Monitoring und Untersuchungen vor Ort (Kapitel B-1), Reduktionsmaßnahmen im Umgang mit Mikroschadstoffen (Kapitel B-2), Er-stellung und Kalibrierung des Stoffflussmodells sowie die Entwicklungsszenarien zur exemplarischen Anwendung des Modells (Kapitel B-3). X Kapitel B-1 umfasst das methodische Vorgehen zur Auswahl der Substanzen mit erhöhter Priorität an allen drei Standorten sowie eine Bewertung der Entwicklungstrends der Verschreibungsmengen für verschiedene Arzneistoffgruppen. Die Ergebnisse der vier Moni-toringkampagnen, die mit kombinierten chemischen und ökotoxikologischen Analysen verbunden waren, werden zusammengefasst und ergänzende Untersuchungen zur Bewertung der Mischwasserentlastungen erläutert. Die in Kapitel B-2 beschriebenen Untersuchungen zu Reduktionsmaßnahmen im Umgang mit Mikroschadstoffen beinhalten neben einer Übersicht zu den Kosten einer 4. Reinigungs-stufe die Bewertung verschiedener Verfahren zur Elimination von Spurenstoffen (Pulverak-tivkohle, Ozonierung und Sandfiltration) auf Grundlage von Laborversuchen. Zudem werden die Einträge industrieller und gewerblicher Einleiter in die Kanalnetze der Modellre-gionen und schließlich die Möglichkeiten von Reduktions- und Vermeidungsmaßnahmen auf Grundlage einer Literaturrecherche sowie von Experteninterviews mit verschiedenen Akteuren und Multiplikatoren bewertet. In Kapitel B-3 werden die Methoden zur Verschneidung der verschiedensten verfügbaren Informationen zur Stoffflussmodellierung beschrieben. Die verfügbaren, auf 186 vierstellige Postleitzahlbereiche bezogenen Daten zur Medikamentenverschreibung werden mit den 429 Gemeinden verschnitten, die Bevölkerung wird den Kläranlagen zugeordnet, die Kläranlagenabläufe müssen an den Fließgewässern verortet werden und sämtliche vom Land verfügbaren Informationen von Abfluss- und Qualitätsmessstellen müssen derart prozessiert werden, dass sie mit den modellierten Kläranlagenablaufwerten sinnvoll kombiniert werden können. Schließlich erfolgt die Kalibrierung und Validierung sowie die Anwendung des Stoffflussmodells zur Untersuchung von Entwicklungsszenarien und Handlungsoptionen. Die methodischen Grundlagen sind damit für eine erweiterte Anwendung und eine Übertragung auf andere Gebiete gegeben.

Abstract:
Companies can derive many benefits from educating workers on health. Yet workplaces in many lower income countries have a need for easy-to-access, on-demand health education materials. The Evidence Project/Meridian in partnership with Bayer has developed a set of health education materials for these industrial and agricultural workplaces. The materials cover important health issues facing women and men workers: - Family Planning - Engaged Fathers and Health - Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancy - Menstrual Hygiene - Handwashing These materials are designed to be printed at the workplace on desktop printers, making the materials easy to access and available on demand. They are available in English, Bengali (approved by the Ministry of Health), and Arabic. The materials, in color and black and white (to save on printing costs), come in three types: - Mini-Posters (MP), to be posted in public areas - Handouts (HO), for workers to take home and containing a bit more information - Supplemental materials (QA) to reinforce learning. Each workplace can determine how best to use these materials. The Implementation Guide gives workplace health staff and managers ideas for fitting the materials into their health promotion activities. There is also a User’s Guide for Brands/Retailers, NGOs and other interested parties explaining how the materials can be used in their workplace programs in global supply chains.
