Abstract:
The process of final project research consultations is now often done by making a schedule to meet with supervisors within the time set by students and supervisors. It is known that the consultation process by the way it is done now still has problems from the effectiveness of student research time and the distance between the research center and the location of the supervisor. With these problems resulted in students not being timely in conducting research consultations with their supervisors. Therefore, a system is needed that can provide a system of research consultations remotely using internet facilities that are integrated with the consultation notification system via the SMS Gateway. The methodology is built using the phases of context diagrams, data flow diagrams and entity relationships. The system is built using PHP programming, mySQL database and Gammu. The results of the final project consultation information system research integrated with the notification system using the SMS Gateway have produced several tables and forms, namely student forms, lecturer forms, consultation forms and document forms. The form has been able to provide a remote consultation system using web media and has been able to provide notification notifications to students and lecturers regarding the consultation status using the SMS gateway service. It is expected that this information system can facilitate students and lecturers in conducting more effective and efficient consultations.

Abstract:
Background Cardiovascular electronic consultation is a new service line in consultative medicine and enables care without in-person office visits. We aimed to evaluate accessibility and time saved as measures of efficiency, determine the safety of cardiology electronic consultations, and assess satisfaction by responding cardiologists. Methods Using a mixed-methods approach and a modified time-driven, activity-based, costing framework, we retrospectively analysed cardiology electronic consultations. A random subset of 500 electronic consultations referred between 2013–2017 were reviewed. Accessibility was determined based upon increased number of patients served without the need for an in-person clinic visit. To assess safety, medical records were reviewed for emergency room visits or hospital admission at six months from the initial electronic consultation date. Responding cardiologist satisfaction was assessed by voluntary completion of an online survey. Results The majority of electronic consultations were related to medication advice, clearance for surgery, evaluation of images, or guidance after abnormal testing. Recommendations included echo (10.8%), stress testing (5.0%), other imaging (4.0%) and other subspecialist referrals (3.8%). Electronic consultations were completed within 0.7±0.5 days of the request, with a time to completion of 5–30 min. Over a six-month follow-up, 13.9% of patients had an in-person visit and 2.2% of patients were hospitalised, but none were directly related to the electronic consultation question. Satisfaction by responding cardiologists was modest. Conclusion In conclusion, within a single-payer system, cardiology electronic consultations represent a convenient and safe alternative for providing consultative cardiovascular care, but further optimization is necessary to minimise electronic consultation fatigue experienced by cardiologists.

Abstract:
This Final Project is one of the graduation requirements for Industrial Engineering students at the Islamic University of Bandung. Currently. The final project consultation process is conducted manually using physical documents owned by each student as proof of consultation in the form of a consultation card. The problem faced was the difficulty in monitoring consultations and recording consultation discussions which were not well organized. The purpose of this study is to design a consulting information system using the prototyping method. The prototyping method is a system development method used to describe the system. The stages in this method consist of: (1) The planning stage is the identification of system requests. (2) the analysis phase analyzes the existing business processes in the final project section and identifies functional and non-functional requirements, (3) the design phase includes the interaction design of systems, processes, data and logical systems and physical interfaces. (4) Implementation phase of database and website development using PHP language and MySQL database. The results obtained from this study are business process consulting for the Final Project after the implementation of the proposed information system; final project consulting information system design which is expected to facilitate the consultation process in terms of time and consultation file documentation

ObjectivesTo examine patient and staff views, experiences and acceptability of a UK primary care online consultation system and ask how the system and its implementation may be improved.DesignMixed-method evaluation of a primary care e-consultation system.SettingPrimary care practices in South West England.MethodsQualitative interviews with 23 practice staff in six practices. Patient survey data for 756 e-consultations from 36 practices, with free-text survey comments from 512 patients, were analysed thematically. Anonymised patients’ records were abstracted for 485 e-consultations from eight practices, including consultation types and outcomes. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data. Analysis of implementation and the usage of the e-consultation system were informed by: (1) normalisation process theory, (2) a framework that illustrates how e-consultations were co-produced and (3) patients’ and staff touchpoints.ResultsWe found different expectations between patients and staff on how to use e-consultations ‘appropriately’. While some patients used the system to try and save time for themselves and their general practitioners (GPs), some used e-consultations when they could not get a timely face-to-face appointment. Most e-consultations resulted in either follow-on phone (32%) or face-to-face appointments (38%) and GPs felt that this duplicated their workload. Patient satisfaction of the system was high, but a minority were dissatisfied with practice communication about their e-consultation.ConclusionsWhere both patients and staff interact with technology, it is in effect ‘co-implemented’. How patients used e-consultations impacted on practice staff’s experiences and appraisal of the system. Overall, the e-consultation system studied could improve access for some patients, but in its current form, it was not perceived by practices as creating sufficient efficiencies to warrant financial investment. We illustrate how this e-consultation system and its implementation can be improved, through mapping the co-production of e-consultations through touchpoints.

Abstract:
Students need to consult their problem such as final projects, academic problem, or personal problems to their lecturers. This consultation’s processes are helped by administrative staffs that make the processes relatively slow due to the high workload of the staffs. Therefore, this research tries to address this problem by creating intranet based information system to reduce the role of administrative staffs. This system provide several features such as schedule the regular consultation by lecturers, schedule the addition consultation by lecturers, cancel a scheduled consultations, change the schedule of consultations by lecturers, register for consultation by students, record the implementation consulting by lecturers, and reports. The consultation software was implemented at Informatics Engineering department, University ‘X’ for one month. After one month, a test was conducted involving five lecturers and twenty students. Testing result showed that the consultation process becomes more efficient, effective and satisfying. Mahasiswa perlu berkonsultasi mengenai masalah mereka seperti tugas akhir, masalah akademik, atau masalah pribadi kepada dosen mereka. Proses konsultasi ini dibantu oleh staf administrasi yang membuat proses relatif lambat karena beban kerja yang tinggi dari staf. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mencoba untuk mengatasi masalah ini dengan menciptakan sistem informasi berbasis intranet untuk mengurangi peran staf administrasi. Sistem ini menyediakan beberapa fitur seperti menjadwalkan konsultasi rutin oleh dosen, jadwal konsultasi Selain oleh dosen, membatalkan konsultasi dijadwalkan, mengubah jadwal konsultasi dengan dosen, mendaftar untuk konsultasi oleh siswa, merekam pelaksanaan konsultasi dengan dosen, dan laporan. Perangkat lunak konsultasi diterapkan di departemen Teknik Informatika, Universitas ‘X’ selama satu bulan. Setelah satu bulan, tes dilakukan melibatkan lima dosen dan dua puluh siswa. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa proses konsultasi menjadi lebih efisien, efektif dan memuaskan.

Abstract:
ObjectivesEvaluation of a pilot study of an online consultation system in primary care. We describe who used the system, when and why, and the National Health Service costs associated with its use.Design15-month observational study.SettingPrimary care practices in South West England.Results36 General practices covering 396 828 patients took part in the pilot. The online consultation website was viewed 35 981 times over the pilot period (mean 9.11 visits per 1000 patients per month). 7472 patients went on to complete an ‘e-consultation’ (mean 2.00 online consultations per 1000 patients per month). E-consultations were mainly performed on weekdays and during normal working hours. Patient records (n=485) were abstracted for eight practices and showed that women were more likely to use e-consultations than men (64.7% vs 35.3%) and users had a median age of 39 years (IQR 30–50). The most common reason for an e-consultation was an administrative request (eg, test results, letters and repeat prescriptions (22.5%)) followed by infections/immunological issues (14.4%). The majority of patients (65.2%) received a response within 2 days. The most common outcome was a face-to-face (38%) or telephone consultation (32%). The former were more often needed for patients consulting about new conditions (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.27, p=0.049). The average cost of a practice’s response to an e-consultation was £36.28, primarily triage time and resulting face-to-face/telephone consultations needed.ConclusionsUse of e-consultations is very low, particularly at weekends. Unless this can be improved, any impact on staff workload and patient waiting times is likely to be negligible. It is possible that use of e-consultations increases primary care workload and costs. Online consultation systems could be developed to improve efficiency both for staff and patients. These findings have implications for software developers as well as primary care services and policy-makers who are considering investing in online consultation systems.

Abstract:
Despite the proliferation of instruments of public consultation in liberal democracies, little is known of how the design and use of these instruments affect stakeholder participation in practice. The article examines participation in written government consultations in an analysis of approximately 5,000 responses to consultations in Denmark and the UK in the first half of 2008. It shows that participation is highly conditional upon system- and actor-level characteristics in practice. Our findings indicate that, even if liberal democracies have adopted similar procedures for actor consultation in the last decades, the design and application of crucial rules vary considerably between systems. They emphasize how the conduct of consultation is heavily conditioned by the design of these processes, which is in turn constrained by the historical legacy of state–society structures of the system in question.

Abstract:
AbstractWith the covid-19 pandemic and the related restrictions to reduce the spread of the virus, the interaction between doctor and patient has changed, especially in the outpatients department. Thus, the need for remote consultations also appeared in the Romanian health system, especially in the psychiatric one. Although in other countries psychiatrists were familiar with this form of consultation, for Romanian psychiatrists, who were not trained either in residency or during medical school, it was a great challenge. If until March 2020 the patient’s consultation had to be performed only in the physical presence of a doctor, once the COVID-19 pandemic appeared, the Romanian government and the president, through the legislative acts issued, provided a legal framework for conducting this remote consultations. With the advent of telepsychiatry, discussions arose in the psychiatric community about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of consultation.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a rapid change in primary care provision. There was a significant shift from face-to-face appointments to remote methods such as electronic consultation (e-consultation). Patients from a primary care provider in London were actively encouraged to use an online consultation platform called ‘Dr iQ’. A group of high frequency users of Dr iQ emerged and clinicians were concerned their health needs were not being met through the platform. High frequency attendance in a traditional general practice setting is associated with increased time and healthcare costs.This project evaluated the number of high frequency users (identified as 10 or more consultations a month) of Dr iQ in one busy inner city practice over a 5-month period. We aimed to decrease the subsequent monthly usage frequency of all Dr iQ high frequency users from 10 or more consultations to less than 10 consultations. Our interventions included a semi-structured telephone interview, discussion among the multidisciplinary team, and regular scheduled telephone or face-to-face appointments. Following two Plan–Do-Study–Act cycles, all 12 high frequency users showed a decrease in the number of consultations submitted to Dr iQ to less than 10 consultations a month.This project proposes a method of case managing high frequency users of e-consultation. The majority of high frequency users had unmet health needs and felt a lack of continuity of care on Dr iQ. They often had complex physical and mental health problems. As remote consulting technology continues to develop, more research is required to understand the epidemiology and aetiology of e-consultation high frequency use in order to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract:
We have developed a consultation forum for clinical neurophysiology in Finland. The system connects local digital electroencephalography EEG recording and analysing networks using a high-speed asynchronous transfer mode ATM network. Clinicians can obtain a second opinion using interactive data and video consultations or using data-only consultations. In addition, the system can be used for off-line review of prerecorded data. During a one-month evaluation, 66 EEG recordings were made altogether in Satakunta Central Hospital and consultations were required on 12 occasions. Nine of them were data-only consultations and three were data and video consultations. A data consultation lasted 15-20 min and a data and video consultation 35-45 min. Clinically, there were numerous benefits for the hospitals. The system established a link to a centre of excellence for second opinions or continuing education. It also helped with on-duty arrangements and enabled the construction of national data banks.

Abstract:
Democracy is being challenged by low public participation in the democratic process. This has resulted in low voter turnout and is therefore called a crisis of representative democracy. As a means of increasing citizens’ engagement with their representative bodies, Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been implemented to encourage public online participation. In particular, the British Parliament has adopted an e-consultation system, available on its website since 2007, as an electronic tool for online participation. As e-consultation is the only system which truly enables the public to engage the legislative process, it is worth assessing this system in order to determine its effectiveness and impact. To do this, it is necessary to conduct an analysis through case studies on past econsultations. Through this analysis, an aim of this thesis is to seek new methods by which to maximise the efficiency of the e-consultation system through the consideration and application of specific research questions. Answers to specific questions were sought by means of employing empirical studies on two e-consultation cases to determine levels of public participation: the successful topic of ‘Domestic Violence’ and the less popular topic of ‘e-Petitions.’ Analysis of the two e-consultation cases reveals that e-consultation provides the public with valuable opportunity to connect with its representatives and to engage the legislative process. However, in order to maximise the efficiency of the e-consultation system, several modifications are suggested including: adequate preparation and publicity on behalf of the organising body, a high rate of MP participation, active consideration of any contributions by the committee in charge, and the establishment of a parliamentary division unit specifically for the conduction of e-consultations.

Abstract:
Telemedicine is the combination of information technology (IT) and health care and is an area that has seen increase during the last few decades due to breakthroughs in IT. Today there are still parts of the health care system that can be counterproductive with regards to the time and commitment necessary. One such part is medical consultations for private individuals where many of the simpler ones are still carried out in-person. Presented in this thesis is the implementation of a prototype telemedicine system that could be used as a substitute for in-person doctor-patient consultation. Necessary 3rd party components and their implementations into one system are described on a general use level. The result is a web application that supports login and payment via trusted sources, booking of meetings and carrying them out with video and audio. The prototype is a continuation of a telemedicine web application idea that was put on ice by a company that already provides solutions for health controls and blood analysis.
Telemedicin är kombinationen av informationsteknik (IT) och hälsovård och är ett område som har sett en ökning de senaste årtiondena på grund av genombrott inom IT. Idag finns det fortfarande delar av hälsovården som kan vara kontraproduktiva med avseende på den tid och det åtagandet som krävs. En sådan del är medicinska konsultationer för privatpersoner där många av de simplare mötena fortfarande sker i person. Presenterat i denna avhandling är implementationen av ett distribuerat telemedicinsystem som kan användas som ett substitut för de konsultationer mellan doktor och patient som sker i person. Nödvändiga tredjeparts komponenter och deras implementationer in ett system är beskrivna på en allmän användningsnivå. Resultatet är en webbapplikation som stödjer login och betalning via en pålitligt källa, bokning av möten och utförandet av dem med bild och ljud. Den presenterade prototypen är en fortsättning på en telemedicinsk webbapplikationsidé som lagts på is av ett företag som redan erbjuder lösningar för hälsokontroll och blodanalys.

Abstract:
The Remote Consultation and Diagnosis (RCD) in Global Picture Archiving and Communication System (Global PACS) is a unique suite of multimedia telemedicine applications developed at the University of Arizona. The applications support real-time patients' data, image files, audio and video consultation and diagnosis annotation exchanges. The RCD enables joint collaboration between pathologists, radiologists, or physicians while they are at distant geographical locations. This project provides four RCD scenarios, i.e., Case Review, Case Acquire, Store and Forward Analysis, as well as Interactive Diagnosis and Consultation. The RCD Global PACS environment consists of heterogeneous, autonomous, and legacy resources. The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), and Java language provide the capability to combine the RCD Global PACS resources into an integrated, interoperable, and scalable system. The underneath technology, including IDL, ORB, Event Service, IIOP, JDBC/ODBC, legacy system wrapping and Java implementation are explored. This distributed collaborative CORBA/JDBC based framework will challenge the advanced, medical information management requirements. It also makes the RCD Global PACS both hardware and software technologically independent. As our research and development extend, we will continue to incorporate the latest advances in computer technology. RCD Global PACS is not another new tool in telemedicine, but rather a new paradigm for the delivery of health services that requires process reengineering, cultural changes, as well as organizational changes. It is a whole new way of practicing in telemedicine. We ensure that the RCD Global PACS project has long-term, comprehensive solutions for today and tomorrow's healthcare needs.

Abstract:
This dissertation aims to use a system thinking approach to describe and evaluate the Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Program in British Columbia, compare it with other provincial regulated recycling programs and identify strategies on how it can be improved. The research is presented in the manuscript based format, comprised of four interrelated chapters. Following the introduction, chapter 2 describes a multiple regression analysis to assess how various factors identified by informed stakeholders have contributed to recycling rate in 14 transportation zones from 1995 to 2005. This study demonstrates that the existing recycling scheme ineffectively promotes recycling as it has achieved an average of 75% over the past 13 years with large fluctuations among transportation zones. The regression also shows that recycling rate of transportation zones are not highly influenced by LME lead prices and Transportation Incentive (which can be explained by the strong market power of the recycling plants responsible for setting up the price of scrap lead to which the collectors respond). Chapter 3 identifies key components that influence the performance of varied recycling systems based on a comparative analysis of provincial recycling systems informed by expert interviews. In chapter 4, comprehensive evaluation criteria for the lead-acid battery recycling program is developed based on objectives and performance measures elicited through an extensive stakeholder consultation process with various individuals and organizations. Fundamental objectives identified by stakeholders include: reduce environmental impacts, reduce occupational health impacts, reduce net costs, increase equity in resource consumption patterns and increase systematic learning. In chapter 5, we use multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to design and assess effective recycling strategies to meet societal objectives previously identified in the chapter 4. Recycling strategies were compiled using the results of chapter 3. The results reveals that the optimal policy for the lead-acid battery recycling system combines a return to retailer program financed through an advanced disposal fee included in the battery price in combination with increased plant or recycling capacity domestically. This research also provides relevant contributions to the refining and application of value-focused thinking and decision analysis methodologies.

Abstract:
The problem of distortion due to welding has been the subject of continuous research since the early days of ship construction. The control of distortion in welded structures through preventive and corrective procedures is generally well established. However, there are rules of thumb knowledge, or heuristics, which streamline the design process and enhance the performance of the final product. Those rules of thumb are usually known to a few experts who, through their own personal involvement and experience over the years, have accumulated considerable knowledge in their field. This thesis proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing such knowledge in a knowledge-based environment. The preliminary design of such a system for the minimization of distortion in welded structures is presented through its development phases. The specific areas of out of plane and bucking distortions are considered. The report consists of three major parts. One describes the distortion problem, the selected tools for its analysis and the current procedures for its prevention and correction; Two introduces the concepts inherent in knowledge-based systems and their applications in the fields of structural design and welding; and Three presents the preliminary design of DISCON (for DIStortion CONtrol) which includes the derivation of functional specifications as well as a suitable architecture for implementation.

Abstract:
The contribution of consultation among the policy-makers and with their clients to the development of educational policy for the City of Hull is assessed between 1977 and 1985. In the period under review Humberside moved from a gradualist approach to dealing with falling enrolments, which entailed the retention of transfer to secondary education at 13, to a radical re-appraisal of the school system as a whole and a decision to return to transfer at 11 and the establishment of sixth form colleges. The series of consultations which accompanied the development of that policy, within the context of central government advice, is examined, together with the parallel consultations with the Church of England and among the Roman Catholic community. The principal objectives of the study are to determine the influence of client consultation on the development of policy aims and on the determination of particular policy decisions, in addition to an appraisal of the participants' perceptions of the objectives and the outcomes of the consultations studied. The methodology employed involved a document and literature search, non-participant observation, interviews with a sample of participants, and a questionnaire survey. The series of consultative episodes is subjected to examination against models of local authority decision-making derived from the literature with the purpose of generating hypotheses about the consultative process and decision-making at local education authority level. From the cases reviewed it is concluded that the role of client consultation can be both strategic and tactical, but that it is principally constrained by the political leadership's assessment of its potential role and the focus they provide for it. In the case of Humberside client consultation contributed to a change in the direction of policy in so far as the politicians used its outcomes to assess the extent of change necessary, but, when strategy had been politically determined, its potential for effecting change became tactical and was limited to modifying the application of that strategy. Consultation also made some contribution to greater public understanding of the Authority's policy and to making that policy more acceptable to those affected by it.

Abstract:
A computer interview has been found to be valuable in eliciting information. This thesis describes the use of a CIS in two different clinical settings (GP surgery and chiropractic clinic), with the aims of aiding recognition of patients with anxiety or depression and enhancing communication between patient and clinician. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was included in the computer interview. 60 patients used the CIS in both settings, 6 GPs and 3 chiropractors were involved in the study. A high level of acceptance of the CIS was found in patients and clinicians in both settings. 99% of patients rated the system as “easy” or “extremely easy to use”. In the GP surgery, 80% of patients felt that they were “possibly” (68.33%) or “definitely” (11.67%) more focussed for the consultation. In the chiropractic clinic, 41.7% of patients said they disclosed new information and 33.3% felt better prepared for the consultation. The CIS aided the recognition of some individuals with anxiety or depression, more so within the chiropractic clinic than in the GP surgery. The information in the interview transcript was considered more useful by the chiropractors than the GPs (85% v 21.67%); this could be partially attributable to the fact that the chiropractors added 15 reassessment questions to the question set, whilst the GPs only added 4, more general, questions. The CIS also helped to highlight communication issues and show trends within the patient populations. Although the CIS was found to be of benefit in both settings, the GPs felt that it was more appropriate for use with specific patient groups. In the chiropractic clinic, the CIS was an effective addition to the periodic patient reassessment process. It would be possible to deliver other, individualised screening interviews using the CIS, delivery of which could be enhanced using handheld devices.

Full text
Abstract:
In November 2020, UNICEF requested support from EdTech Hub to help the Government of Bangladesh improve the reach, effectiveness, and inclusiveness of the programme of activities proposed in the government’s Covid-19 Response and Recovery Plan: Education Sector (⇡Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, 2020). At that time, this plan led to a wide and diverse range of programmes initiated by the government and other stakeholders. As a result, EdTech Hub worked with the government and other stakeholders to rapidly create A Theory of Change (TOC) for a technology-enhanced education system (⇡Clark-Wilson et al., 2021). While acknowledging that parents, caregivers, teachers, school, and community leaders are also key stakeholders, the first TOC focused on learners as, ultimately, the desired impacts of a technology-enhanced education system are directed towards learners’ educational outcomes. One recommendation of the earlier working paper was that a TOC should also be developed that focused on teachers as key agents in the development of a technology-enhanced education system for the country. The process to develop this second TOC comprised a desktop review, interviews, and two stakeholder consultation workshops. The resulting teacher-centred TOC draws on existing theory and practice as well as stakeholders’ assumptions of how the evolving technology-enhanced teacher professional development offer might achieve its goals — and what conditions need to be in place to achieve this. This working paper documents and explains the teacher-centred TOC. An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org

Full text
Abstract:
This Evidence Check was commissioned by the NSW Ministry of Health, as part of a project to improve how preventive, sensitive health issues are raised in general practice. The review looked at what is known about discussing sensitive preventive health issues from both patients and GPs perspectives and approaches and factors that have been shown to be effective. The identified evidence was generally of moderate to high methodological quality. General behaviour change approaches that are applicable to this challenge include creating non-judgemental environments that normalise sensitive health issues; simulation training; and public campaigns that reduce stigma and challenge unhelpful cultural norms. Lack of time in consultations was identified as a challenging issue. Significant system-level change would be required to extend standard consultation times; focusing on optimising workflows may therefore be more feasible. Addressing GP patient–gender mismatch through diverse GP representation may also be feasible in larger practices. The key theme identified was the use of prompting, screening or other structured tools by GPs. Collectively, these approaches have two main features. First, they are a way of approaching sensitive health conversations less directly, for example by focusing on underlying risk factors for sensitive health conditions such as obesity and mental illness rather than addressing the issues directly. Second, through either risk-factor or more general question prompts, these approaches take the onus away from GPs and patients to come up with a way of asking the question using their own words.

Abstract:
There is significant interest in sustainable food production practices in Canada and worldwide due to the challenges caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, land degradation, and climate change. Sustainable food production is a food system that provides affordable, nutritious food while preserving and restoring natural resources and generating robust ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, water filtration, and retention. This report explores multiple routes to foster improved social, ecological, and economic impacts associated with alternative practices promoting sustainable food production. It identifies core problems that prevent agricultural systems and their food chains from implementing (more) sustainable practices. The report mobilizes a Theory of Change (TOC) to outline possible interventions and metrics to implement (community-based) interventions to promote shared principles of sustainable production and create communities of practice. The TOC was developed in consultation with a set of actors in the food chain (including farmers, financial institutions, municipal governments, food processors, NGOs and industry associations) during a nine-month research intervention in Canada (2023), complemented by a literature review. Thanks to this co-creation process, the proposed interventions and metrics to measure and track improvements at the farm and societal levels presented in this report are outcomes-based and bottom-up. This enables agricultural communities and actors in the food chain to pursue alternative routes to improve outcomes. The report also discusses incentives to pursue sustainable food production, either explicit (e.g. monetary payments, contractual clauses) or implicit (e.g. social norms, cultural values, network-based engagement of food chain actors). Lastly, it outlines a potential research design to test the suggested interventions, metrics, and incentives in a Randomized Control Trial (RCT).

Blake, Carolyn, Benjamin P. Rigby, Roxanne Armstrong-Moore, Peter Barbrook-Johnson, Nigel Gilbert, Mohammad Hassannezhad, Petra Meier, et al. Participatory systems mapping for population health research, policy and practice: guidance on method choice and design. University of Glasgow, January 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.36399/gla.pubs.316563.

Full text
Abstract:
What is participatory systems mapping? Participatory systems mapping engages stakeholders with varied knowledge and perspectives in creating a visual representation of a complex system. Its purpose is to explore, and document perceived causal relations between elements in the system. This guidance focuses on six causal systems mapping methods: systems-based theory of change maps; causal loop diagrams; CECAN participatory systems mapping; fuzzy cognitive maps; systems dynamics models; and Bayesian belief networks. What is the purpose of this guidance? This guidance includes a Framework that aids the choice and design of participatory systems mapping approaches for population health research, policy and practice. It offers insights on different systems mapping approaches, by comparing them and highlighting their applications in the population health domain. This guidance also includes case studies, signposting to further reading and resources, and recommendations on enhancing stakeholder involvement in systems mapping. Who is this guidance for? This guidance is designed for anyone interested in using participatory systems mapping, regardless of prior knowledge or experience. It primarily responds to calls to support the growing demand for systems mapping (and systems-informed approaches more broadly) in population health research, policy and practice. This guidance can however also be applied to other disciplines. How was it developed? The guidance was created by an interdisciplinary research team through an iterative, rigorous fivestage process that included a scoping review, key informant interviews, and a consultation exercise with subject experts. What is the ‘Participatory Systems Design Framework’ included in this guidance? The Design Framework supports users to choose between different methods and enhance the design of participatory systems mapping projects. Specifically, it encourages users to consider: 1) the added value of adopting a participatory approach to systems mapping; 2) the differences between methods, including their relative advantages and disadvantages; and 3) the feasibility of using particular methods for a given purpose. An editable version of the Framework is available to download as a supplementary file. How will this guidance support future use of these methods? Participatory systems mapping is an exciting and evolving field. This guidance clarifies and defines the use of these methods in population health research, policy and practice, to encourage more thoughtful and purposeful project design, implementation, and reporting. The guidance also identifies several aspects for future research and development: methodological advancements; advocating for and strengthening participatory approaches; strengthening reporting; understanding and demonstrating the use of maps; and developing skills for the design and use of these methods.

Full text
Abstract:
The Food Information Regulation (FIR) states that accurate and understandable allergen information needs to be supplied to consumers for the 14 priority allergens. Food allergies affects between 1-2% of the UK population, with some allergens responsible for hospital admissions with anaphylaxis. Food businesses have a legal responsibility to provide food that is safe, which means declaring allergens present as ingredients and warning consumers about their potential unintended presence due to cross-contact. A system needs to be implemented for testing allergens in foods, responding to incidents, and manage risks to protect consumers. This review was prepared to inform FSA on the current state of the art of allergen testing methodologies and the remaining challenges. This project combined a critical literature review of testing methods with assessments of allergen proficiency testing data, consultation with stakeholders from the food industry, and consultation with industry experts regarding multiplex methodologies and the harmonisation of methods in an unbiased review of the current status of testing capabilities for the 14 EU-retained regulated food allergens. Gaps in testing capabilities were highlighted in order to inform future direction, including a lack of transparent public data for the performance and applicability of commercial test kits. Cross-reactivities of kits were also highlighted along with the need for development of fast and accurate point-of-use tests to support food production. A review of allergen proficiency testing data revealed gaps in testing capabilities and variations between the outputs of different test kits when testing for the same allergen. This review critically compares current testing methods to progress towards a suitable harmonised testing protocol that facilitates allergen risk management, and to mitigate limitations and evidence gaps. Suitable workflows outlining recommended testing protocols are presented for priority allergens to provide a resource for compliant testing and incident management. Estimations of the cost of setting up new testing laboratories to support allergen workflows are also included in addition to detailing the cost of testing by established laboratories.
