Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes the strategies for business continuity when a significant challenging event affects a hospital or other healthcare provider: the scenario is a norovirus outbreak affecting several wards and staff. The strategy includes business impact analysis and a disaster recovery plan. The importance of developing a generic response plan, rather than a response for each type of incident, is emphasized. The early involvement of the infection control team, isolating or cohorting patients, and liaison with the community are essential components of the response. The chapter describes how a ‘less serious event’ (a few reported cases) may rapidly escalate into a major incident. The business continuity plan should be implemented early, and should identify which services can be stopped, and which must continue. Finally, the importance of holding a multi-agency and multi-professional debrief meeting as soon as the incident is declared over is emphasized, with revision of the plan accordingly.

Full textAbstract:
Fires can cause significant health concerns within local communities impacted by any associated smoke plume. This chapter discusses the potential public health concerns associated with fires, in particular fires at waste-processing installations. Using an example scenario, actions to be undertaken throughout the incident response, from initial acute phase to recovery, are considered, along with health concerns and fears, real or perceived, involvement of asbestos-contaminant material, multi-agency communication mechanisms, and potential issues associated with long-running fires. The multi-agency mechanisms for response are detailed, including the various coordinating groups (strategic, tactical, recovery coordinating groups (SCG, TCG, RCG, respectively), and expert cells (scientific and technical advisor cell, air quality cell (AQC)). Key points to note in the incident response include concerns raised by the local population, typical health effects associated with exposure to a smoke plume, and tools that support the response to the incident and the public health risk assessment.

Full textAbstract:
This book is an accessible and practical core text on the three domains of health protection: Communicable Disease Control, Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response (EPRR), and protection of the public from environmental hazards (Environmental Public Health). The editors have attempted to develop an “all hazards approach” to dealing with health protection situations. Most health protection books confine themselves to one of the three domains, whereas this book presents a practical and all hazards approach, with some account of the overarching principles of health protection on which day-to-day practice rests. The target audience is health protection practitioners, students, doctors, nurses and other non-medical professionals who may encounter health protection issues in their daily practice. From a clear introduction to the essential principles of health protection work, the book guides readers through how to manage real health protection incidents using a combination of case studies and quick reference action checklists. Each case study provides a common health protection scenario which develops in stages, in the same way as a real-life case or incident. As the story unfolds, the reader will learn about the nature and significance of the specific threat to population health, the practical steps and issues involved in an effective public health response and the health protection principles underpinning that response. Other chapters outline the general principles of health protection, providing a deeper understanding of key tools and mechanisms, as well as insights into new and emerging health protection issues. A series of individual checklists dealing with a broad range of commonly-faced diseases, hazards and incidents complete the book. These give concise and practically-focused information that can be used even by non-specialists in time-pressured situations. In particular, the variety of chapters covered throughout the book, on Communicable Diseases, Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response, and Environmental Public Health, offer a unique perspective borne out of practical experience, not easily accessible elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes Legionnaires’ disease and its importance as a preventable cause of severe pneumonia—one that mainly affects older people and has a high mortality rate. The background information and epidemiology of Legionnaires’ disease describe the salient points succinctly. The approach to surveillance and public health management is described in detail, as, unlike many infectious diseases, the source of infection is in the environment and infection is not spread from person to person. A case study is used to describe a typical scenario, the principles used in the investigation, as well as the management and control of such incidents. Top tips are provided to reinforce key and essential activities.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter covers two case studies and scenarios: a case of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in a college student; and a case of laboratory-confirmed Mycobacterium bovis in an adult with inflammatory bowel disease. The pulmonary TB case resulted in a wider investigation and contact tracing as the case attended college while symptomatic. The Mycobacterium bovis resulted in wider workplace and hospital contact tracing through convening an Incident Control Team. Background information on the epidemiology and clinical features of TB and the public health response to TB in educational, healthcare, and occupational settings are discussed. Case definitions, and a detailed risk assessment, with clear description of close contacts, priority groups, and the required public health actions, are described. ‘Top tips’ are given, to provide practical tips for the reader to think through the public health management of TB, and ‘tools of the trade’ list the laboratory and epidemiological components of the investigation.

Buchan, Andrew. Autism And the Police. Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781805015321.
Full textAbstract:
This is a practical guide for police officers and other first responders written by an autistic retired policeman, designed to demystify autistic behaviours and improve the treatment of autistic people caught up in the criminal justice system. Police officers and other emergency services are the first to arrive at the scene of an incident and it is vital they can recognise autistic behaviours and respond accordingly to avoid any escalation. This book lays out how to identify whether someone could be autistic and how officers can interact with them effectively and sensitively. Based on the author's many years of experience as a police officer it covers common scenarios such as stop and search, restraint and transportation, interviews and detention. For each potential encounter the book provides strategies, examples and tips to assist police in interacting safely and fairly with autistic people. In addition to police interactions, the book explains how to best respond to and assist autistic people through the Criminal Justice System and beyond.

Evans, Charlotte, Anne Creaton, Marcus Kennedy, and Terry Martin, eds. Paediatric retrieval. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198722168.003.0019.
Full textAbstract:
Paediatric critical care retrieval provides some of the most challenging clinical scenarios for the retrieval physician. Children have a relatively low incidence of critical illness in comparison to adults and they constitute a minority of the population (around 20% or less in high-income countries). Approximately 50% of critically ill children are under 2 years of age, with a more even age-distribution from pre-school through to school-age and teenage years. Consequently, paediatric intensive care and paediatric intensive care retrieval are low volume, highly specialized areas of practice in healthcare systems that cater predominantly for adults. In comparison to neonatal retrieval, the case load in paediatric intensive care transport is small; however, there is a much wider spectrum of pathology. Thus, paediatric intensive care transport differs from both adult and neonatal retrieval. It requires appropriate specialist expertise and skills in the entire age-range and disease spectrum of paediatric intensive care as well as a well-designed paediatric retrieval system.

Nisco, Attilio. Controlli sul mercato finanziario e responsabilità penale. Bononia University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.30682/sg245.
Full textAbstract:
Scandali finanziari e crisi più e meno recenti pongono un fondamentale interrogativo: a che servono molteplici meccanismi di controllo innanzi ad un ineliminabile rischio di “abusi di mercato” e di frodi nei confronti dei risparmiatori? La risposta del legislatore è rappresentata da un consistente moto di riforme intese a conferire nuovi doveri, poteri e, soprattutto, credibilità ai controlli, interni ed esterni alle società, nonché all’autorità di vigilanza sul mercato. È dato supporre che una simile palingenesi della funzione di controllo non possa non incidere sulla responsabilità penale dei suoi titolari, in particolare, per l’omesso impedimento dei reati commessi dagli organi esecutivi di una società, in danno di un interesse collettivo di recente emersione: il “risparmio”. Questo volume ricostruisce tale problematica, rivisitando temi classici, quali il reato omissivo improprio e la compartecipazione omissiva, alla luce delle questioni sollevate dall’assurgere delle organizzazioni societarie ad apparati procedurali complessi, entro i quali lo schema gerarchico e i tradizionali equilibri di potere subiscono una significativa metamorfosi. L’indagine costituisce occasione di riflessione sul concetto di “posizione di garanzia” e sulle sue possibilità di impiego, a tutela dei risparmiatori, nello scenario organizzativo delineato dal diritto delle società azionarie e del mercato finanziario.

Khalifa, Sherif. Egypt’s Lost Spring. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400644276.
Full textAbstract:
An Egyptian diplomat-turned-scholar provides a detailed analysis of events from the fall of Mubarak through the aftermath of the 2013 military move to oust Egypt's first democratically elected president. The Arab Spring caught the world by surprise and was truly inspiring. Then, many watched with bewilderment as the process unfolded in unforeseen directions. This lively and well-documented book tells the story of events in Egypt from the end of the Mubarak era in 2010 through the revolution in 2011 and the military interference in the summer of 2013. Written from an insider's perspective, it discusses what occurred and analyzes the motives of the parties involved, putting each incident in context so the reader can see—and understand—the big picture. The author's background as an Egyptian diplomat provides insights that fuel a nuanced and richly detailed study. Among other topics, the book sheds light on the Egyptian military and economy, the life and written opinions of the military leader Al Sisi, and ties between the United States and the Egyptian armed forces. It reveals evidence of a conspiracy against the first elected civilian administration in Egypt, details the conflict between the Islamists and the deep state, and examines the rise and fall of political Islam. A final chapter speculates about possible scenarios for the future of Egypt.

Full textAbstract:
Seizures are a common problem in intensive care units (ICU) and the advent of continuous electroencephalography is demonstrating that the incidence of seizures is still underestimated. Many patients considered encephalopathic from any cause are now found to be in non-convulsive status epilepticus. While the significance of non-convulsive seizures remains unclear, there is little disagreement that these seizures should be treated with antiseizure agents and prevention of any type of seizure is a reasonable therapeutic goal. Many antiseizure agents have been studied in ICU populations and extensive experience exists with drugs such as phenytoin, valproate, or pentobarbital. Since the previous edition of this textbook, several new antiseizure agents have been introduced. Levetiracetam, topiramate, and lacosamide have been established as reasonable pharmacologic options, in particular for treatment of status epilepticus. Patients with seizures in the ICU often present with challenging clinical scenarios, which influence the choice of antiseizure agents. For example, reduced liver or renal function, especially if needing continuous renal replacement therapy or intermittent haemodialysis, has an impact on drug level variability and susceptibility to seizure development. ICU patients will typically require a multitude of pharmacological agents for their specific clinical situation and drug–drug interactions must be considered. Additionally, many medications used in ICUs are associated with seizures, in particular, certain antibiotics. Overall, the development of new drugs and better monitoring methods will undoubtedly improve our ability to control seizures in ICU patients, but currently no treatment has been shown to be universally effective for challenges, such as refractory status epilepticus.

Full textAbstract:
Leishmanioses are a large group of parasitic diseases range over the intertropical zones of America and Africa, and extend into temperate regions of South America, Southern Europe and Asia. The clinical aspect of the diseases is wide ranging from a simple, self-resolving cutaneous lesion to the potentially fatal visceral leishmaniosis, known as kala-azar. In numerous underdeveloped countries leishmanioses remain a major public health problem representing one of the most neglected diseases. Among 15 well-recognized Leishmania species known to infect humans, 13 have definite zoonotic nature, which include agents of visceral, cutaneous and mucocutaneous forms of the disease in both the Old and New Worlds. Mammal reservoir hosts belong to the marsupalia, edentata, carnivora, hyracoidea, and rodentia, maintaining sylvatic zoonotic foci in the deserts of Africa and Asia, the forests of South and Central America, as well as synanthropic foci in the Mediterranean basin and much of South America. Although the known vectors are all phlebotomine sandflies, these have a wide range of specific habits and habitats. The complexity of this group of infections has only recently been appreciated and is still being worked out. Currently, leishmanioses show a wider geographical distribution than previously known, with increased global incidence of human disease. Environmental, demographic and human behavioural factors contribute to the changing leishmaniosis landscape, which basically include increasing risk factors for zoonotic cutaneous leishmanioses, and new scenarios associated with the zoonotic entity of visceral leishmaniosis. In comparison with the anthroponotic entities of leishmaniosis, limited progresses were made for the control of the zoonotic ones, consisting mainly in new tools developed for the control of L. infantum in the canine reservoir.

Full textAbstract:
The Higher Education Institutions that run business management programs in Malaysia is under severe criticism from industry that the passing out management graduates do not have adequate practical exposure to the industry and lack of practical skills to deal industrial issues proactively as the catalyst of change.This indicates that the traditional management education curriculum, as presently constituted, may not be adequately preparing individuals for the challenges they experience as professional managers.To deal with this issue, many management institutes are adopting case study as a pedagogy, a hypothetical or actual business situation to formulate a recommended policy or decision based on the facts and figures provided, to induce practical exposure to the students by simulating case situations, which improve students analytical skills and decision-making skills.A case study in business management course is a rigorous analysis of an incident, situation, person, crisis or any such phenomenon or concept, in relation to industry, business or people in the organisations.It is well related to the management, process or methodology adopted by the organisation stressing analysis of chain of events for better change management in relation to business operation context. The case studies included in this book provides better perspective of various issues and situations in the business field.The cases are written from the field of Organisational Behaviour, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Business Ethics, International Business, Strategic Management, Business Laws and General Management. These case studies are to be thoroughly analyzed by the faculty members before applying that into the classroom. It is expected that the faculty members should refer to the similar case scenarios at local and international levels to stimulate students to have better discussion on the multifaceted issues or situation. Instead of a direct entry into theoretical concepts, the author suggests that the faculty members distribute these cases well in advance and invite students to come for creative discussions and practical solutions.By preparing solutions to case studies, the students will be exposed to a variety of business operations, business process, management roles, and business situations.Thus the case studies can adequately integrate theoretical concepts effortlessly in realistic situations with better referential skills.The 50 cases included in this book can extremely be valuable in preparing students a career in industry by giving better chance to develop analytical and decision-making skills in the classroom that meet up the challenges of industry.

Pieri, Bernardo. Usurai, ebrei e poteri della Chiesa nei consilia di Paolo da Castro. Bononia University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.30682/sg282.
Full textAbstract:
Lo iuris utriusque doctor Paolo da Castro (1360/62-1441), nella sua lunga ed onorata carriera accademica, lesse soltanto il gius civile. Il vasto – e ancora non sufficientemente esplorato – campo dei suoi consilia mostra però una profonda conoscenza anche del diritto canonico, fatto di cui anche il pubblico dei richiedenti dovette esser consapevole, vista la fiducia con cui sollecitò al giurista responsi in materia non soltanto civilistica. Partendo, perciò, da alcuni consilia che affrontano tematiche di attinenza canonistica (specialmente quando la competenza dei canoni entrava in concorrenza col diritto civile, come nel caso emblematico dell’usura cui finirono per connettersi le svariate questioni implicanti i mai pacificati rapporti istituzionali con le comunità ebraiche residenti nelle città italiane), si sono confrontate le opinioni espresse dal giurista con le posizioni che egli tiene nei passi corrispondenti delle lecturae accademiche e con quelle del suo maestro Baldo degli Ubaldi e di altri autori vicini, per tempo o per altre affinità (e.g. Bartolo, Lorenzo Ridolfi, Oldrado, Antonio Roselli, Giovanni da Imola), tentando di ricostruire la linea di pensiero di Paolo da Castro nella materia affrontata e la sua incidenza sulla communis opinio posteriore. Una dipendenza di Paolo da Castro da alcune teorie economiche e morali risalenti a Pietro di Giovanni Olivi (che aveva insegnato per qualche anno alla scuola teologica di Santa Croce a Firenze) è stata ipotizzata a partire da alcune possibili coincidenze favorite dal lungo soggiorno fiorentino del giurista. Queste avrebbero influenzato il pensiero di Paolo indirizzandolo verso posizioni etiche severissime, anche nei confronti di quella Chiesa di cui il giurista fu sempre un devoto, ma non inerte, seguace. Il panorama che si è venuto delineando durante il percorso d’indagine, perciò, non solo – secondo l’A. – mostrerebbe scenarî forse inattesi nel quadro giurisprudenziale relativo alle tematiche trattate e al pensiero di Paolo da Castro, specialmente nel suo formarsi; ma, soprattutto, consentirebbe di giustificare (e dunque elidere), su basi squisitamente tecniche ma anche intellettuali, le discrasie presenti in Paolo, non meno che in molti altri giuristi dei secoli tra Trecento e Cinquecento, tra l’opinio espressa come consulente e le interpretazioni sostenute leggendo dalla cattedra universitaria.
