Abstract:
L’amélioration durable des rendements agricoles est devenue une priorité face à l’accentuation de la pauvreté en matière organique des sols et des risques et limites des fertilisants chimiques. Dans ce contexte, la conservation des arbres et arbustes des champs a connu un regain d’intérêt. C’est dans cette optique que cette étude visait à contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des caractéristiques de leur peuplement dans l’Arrondissement de Djilor. Pour y parvenir, des données ont été collectées dans des placettes carrées de 1600 m² (40 m x 40 m) installées de manière aléatoire dans les champs. Le nombre de ces placettes a été au préalable défini sur la base d’un préinventaire. Au total 22 espèces réparties en 22 genres et 14 familles dominées par des Mimosaceae, Combretaceae et Anacardiaceae (13,8% chacune), ont été recensées. La prédominance des mésophanérophytes (50%) soulignait le caractère arboré du peuplement. La chorologie de la flore était caractérisée par la prédominance d’espèces soudaniennes et soudano-zambéziennes (31,8 chacune) mais avec une prépondérance des individus de ces dernières (45,1%). La richesse spécifique de Shannon-weaver était moyenne (3,95 bits) avec une équitabilté de 0,88 bits et d’un indice de Simpson de 0,92 bits. Les paramètres dendrométriques obtenus du peuplement étaient : 7,6 ind/ha de densité réelle, 1,6 m2/ha de surface terrière, 5,8% de recouvrement, 48,4 cm de diamètre et 10,9 m de hauteur. Le taux de régénération y était très important (76,9%). La structure en diamètre et en hauteur montrait une prédominance des individus adultes. Ces résultats obtenus pourraient servir de base à la connaissance et au suivi de cet écosystème pour une amélioration de sa gestion.

Abstract:
La formation des trihalométhanes (THM) est associée à la réaction du chlore avec la matière organique résiduelle contenue dans les eaux traitées avant distribution. Elle se poursuit dans le temps sur le réseau de distribution jusqu’au robinet du consommateur. Le respect de la norme des 100 μg/L sur les points les plus éloignés peut être critique sur des unités de production où la matière organique résiduelle en fin de traitement peut se montrer très réactive, en lien à sa composition et à des facteurs aggravants comme la température, le temps de séjour hydraulique et la présence de bromures. Dans ce contexte et en visant en priorité les eaux superficielles à pollution moyenne à forte en matière organique, la R&D Saur a développé un modèle prédictif de formation des THM en basant la construction sur trois objectifs principaux : une quantification en unité de masse de THM totaux, la prévision la plus juste sur les fins de réseau pour des temps de séjour dépassant les 72 h et, enfin, que le modèle puisse être employé sur les installations industrielles comme outil de diagnostic et d’aide aux réglages d’exploitation des traitements unitaires. Le modèle a été bâti à partir d’essais de laboratoire menés sur des eaux traitées de deux unités de production avant chloration. Les protocoles mis en oeuvre ont permis de développer une modélisation à partir de l’absorbance UV à 254 nm. L’équation cinétique de production permet d’évaluer précisément les concentrations en THM totaux à moyen et long termes sur une gamme étendue de températures : 7 à 25°C. Le modèle intègre le « bromide incorporation factor », indice de caractérisation de l’état bromé, qui permet d’exprimer les résultats en unité de masse de THM totaux. L’applicabilité du modèle à d’autres groupes d’eaux est également présentée.

Abstract:
In the Irkutsk region there are recorded high indices of rates of morbidity, disability, mortality rate of the working-age population and low levels of life expectancy of the population, that is confirmed by ranking position levels among the all subjects of the Russian Federation. According to all mentioned indices of health the region is inside the top ten unfavorable regions of Russia. In relation to the problem in the state of health of the adult population the estimation of the causal relationships between environmental factors and certain health indices is actual. The list of studiedfactors included health indices that characterize the harmful working conditions of the working population and basic socioeconomic indices in the region. Estimation of causal-relationship relationships was performed with the use of methods of multivariate analysis - correlation and multiple linear regression. In the selection offactors for the construction of mathematical models of multiple regression there were used methods of the analysis of variables variability, pair correlation coefficients matrix and sequential switching covariates to eliminate the problems of multicollinearity, pre-standardization of indices for the elevation of the numerical stability of regression analysis algorithm. As a result of the execution of the analysis there were constructed statistical models for the dependence in the system variables “environment - public health”, which allowed to identify the most informative regression models for the adult population health according to indices of primary disability of the population, the mortality rate and life expectancy of the working age population. According to results of the analysis there were identified priority factors affecting on the health of the adult population of the Irkutsk region. To these factors there are referred the proportion of workplaces failing to meet sanitary standards for vibration and 8 socio-economic indices of living standards of the population.

Abstract:
This paper outlines how to compute community priority indices in the context of multicriteria decision making in community settings. A simple R function was developed and validated with community needs assessment data. Particularly, the first part of this paper briefly overviews the existing methods for priority setting and reviews the utility of a multicriteria decision-making approach for community-based prioritization. The second part illustrates how community priority indices can be calculated using the freely available R program to handle community data by showing the computational and mathematical steps of CPI (Community Priority Index) with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals.

Abstract:
L'objectif de cette étude est de développer un cadre intelligent pour la reconstruction post-catastrophe des bâtiments, en se concentrant sur l'explosion de Beyrouth comme étude de cas, en raison de son contexte géopolitique complexe, de l'étendue de ses dommages et des crises socio-économiques qui ont frappé le pays pendant ces dernières années. L'étude explore diverses dimensions comprenant l'état structurel, l'économique et le social pour prioriser les groupes communautaires marginalisés dans les projets de reconstruction et plaider en faveur de l'approche "Build-Back-Better", selon les recommandations de « Sendai Framework For Disaster Risk Reduction ».Pour atteindre ces objectifs, la thèse commence par l'état de l'art du sujet (Chapitre 1) pour identifier les lacunes de recherche et les cadres de reconstruction post-catastrophe existants. S'appuyant sur cette revue, une méthodologie de recherche est formulée pour combler ces lacunes en mettant l'accent sur la ville de Beyrouth au Liban (Chapitre 2). Elle comprend l'étude du contexte local, les méthodes d'analyse des données et une compréhension des défis de la reconstruction post-catastrophe, plus particulièrement à Beyrouth. Un cadre complet pour évaluer les bâtiments post-catastrophe à Beyrouth suite à l'explosion est développé (Chapitre 3), comprenant 12 indicateurs couvrant les attributs physiques du bâtiment et le profil socio-économique de ses habitants. Ce cadre facilite le calcul d'un indice de priorité pour un grand ensemble de bâtiments endommagés à Beyrouth (Chapitre 4). L'évaluation aide les décideurs et les parties prenantes impliquées dans le processus de reconstruction à gérer et à surveiller les projets de rénovation des bâtiments tout en encourageant l'engagement de la communauté affectée. Elle donne la priorité aux individus les plus vulnérables, favorisant ainsi une approche centrée sur les personnes pour le rétablissement, soutenue par les principes de "Build-Back-Better" et d'inclusivité.Le cadre basé sur les données et les résultats présentés dans cette thèse constituent une avancée dans le domaine de la reconstruction post-catastrophe. Cependant, cette recherche montre certaines limitations, notamment la collecte de données via la méthode de crowdsourcing et le manque de participation des personnes, la dynamique et la complexité du contexte post-catastrophe, ainsi que la concentration uniquement sur le secteur du bâtiment. Les futures recherches pourraient se concentrer sur (i) la prise en compte de tous les secteurs affectés par la catastrophe, (ii) l'étude de l'acceptation sociale pour participer au processus de collecte de données, (iii) et la diversification des sources de collecte de données
The objective of this study is to develop a smart framework for post-disaster reconstruction of buildings, with a focus on the Beirut explosion as a case study, due to its complex geopolitical context, extensive damage, and socio-economic crises. The study delves into various dimensions encompassing physical, economic, and social to prioritize marginalized community groups in the recovery efforts and advocate for the “Build-Back-Better approach”, according to the recommendations of « Sendai Framework For Disaster Risk Reduction ».To attain these objectives, the thesis starts with a literature review (Chapter 1) to identify research gaps and existing post-disaster reconstruction frameworks. Drawing from this review, a research methodology is formulated to address these gaps with emphasis on Beirut city in Lebanon (Chapter 2). It includes the local context study, the data analysis methods, and an understanding of the challenges facing the post-disaster reconstruction with a focus on Beirut. A comprehensive framework for assessing post-disaster buildings in Beirut following the explosion is developed (Chapter 3), comprising 12 indicators spanning physical attributes of the building and socio-economic profile of its residents. This framework facilitates the calculation of a Priority Index for a large set of damaged buildings in Beirut (Chapter 4). The assessment assists decision-makers and stakeholders involved in the reconstruction process manage and monitor building renovation projects while encouraging the affected community engagement. It prioritizes the most vulnerable individuals, thereby fostering a people-centric approach to recovery, underpinned by the principles of building-back-better and inclusivity.The data-based framework and results presented in this thesis form a step forward in the post-disaster reconstruction field. However, this research shows some limitations including the data collection via crowdsourcing and the lack of people participation, the dynamics and the complexity of the post-disaster context, and the focus on the building sector only. Future research could focus on (i) considering all the sectors affected by the disaster, (ii) investigating the social acceptance for participating in the data collection process, (iii) and diversifying the data collection sources

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est d’étudier les stratégies cognitives de navigation de l’homme. L’originalité de ce travail réside dans la définition et l’étude des kinesthèses ou indices du mouvement. De plus, ce travail s’appuie sur des protocoles expérimentaux nouveaux : l’utilisation d’informations présentées préalablement à l’apprentissage d’un environnement, l’introduction d’incertitude spatiale dans l’étude de la planification de trajet, l’utilisation de modifications posturales pour l’étude des kinesthèses. Cette thèse est également le résultat d’échanges entre le monde industriel et le monde académique. Nous avons pu testé l’effet d’un amorçage de type carte sur un apprentissage kinesthésique d’un trajet. Nous concluons que l’effet de l’amorçage sur un apprentissage kinesthésique d’un trajet est très différent suivant le type de tâche demandée, et que certains a priori biologiques influencent notre représentation de l’espace. Nous avons ensuite étudié l’effet d’un changement postural et de l’habituation sur le maintien d’un pattern locomoteur. Ensuite, nous avons montré que la planification avec incertitude d’un trajet connu était réalisée de manière extrêmement performante par les sujets, et nous avons étudié le rôle des kinesthèses lors de cette planification de trajet. Enfin, nous mettons en évidence les contributions relatives des informations visuelles géométriques et de type « amers visuels ». Le mémoire se termine sur les études effectuées dans un contexte industriel. La discussion de ce travail se focalise sur l’interaction possible des représentations de l’espace et des stratégies associées puis ouvre sur les questions théoriques que pose la thèse.

Abstract:
American Indian/Alaska Native infant mortality rate is disproportionately higher than the dominant culture. Excess mortality and morbidity for this population may be linked to exposures such as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), metal contaminants; outdoor air pollution, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (Karr 2010). Health care providers (HCPs) are positioned to identify, prevent and treat environmental exposures (EE). However, HCPs often lack basic and continuing education on pediatric environmental health (PEH) topics. The purpose of this study was to work with community partners to offer PEH training via a HCP conference on one northwest reservation. A descriptive, qualitative research design utilized focus groups to query HCP about their perceptions of local PEH issues. Moderators were trained via a written protocol to lead focus group discussions using a 12-question instrument. Discussions were audio recorded and transcribed. Content analyses were completed to identify the most frequent themes and question inter-rater reliability was established. The results of this study found that health care providers perceived environmental health (EH) as prevention of both physical toxins and behavioral aspects of population health. Excess infant/child mortality and morbidity were linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and a lack of family/community education and resources. Substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, ETS) was recognized as a priority EH issue. Health care providers described their role in PEH as serving as and referring caregivers to resources. A barrier to implementing PEH into practice included the low priority of silent and unseen issues versus conditions with visible acuity. Resources were identified as potential interventions needed to protect the fetus, infant and child from harmful EE. Lack of coordination among agencies creates gaps in policies. Local tribal groups were recognized as entities to advocate for PEH issues. Health care provider identified ways to enhance their knowledge of PEH. In conclusions focus groups are a valuable approach to community-based participatory research. Local HCPs find PEH to be an important topic and are interested in increasing their knowledge. The recommendations are future focus groups on this topic should reorder the tool questions. The findings of this study should be returned to community groups for further action.

Typhoon Morakot caused massive collapses in the watersheds which resulted in debris disasters and channel blockages of the nearby villages especially located at the southern Taiwan. Due to scattered distribution of the landslides, how to extract the watershed landslides, find the landslides occur reasons, and monitor the status of watershed’s vegetative restoration can be served as the references of delineating potential landslide areas, assessing the vegetative recovery rate (VRR) and providing the proprity management of the landslides. This study extracted the spatial distribution of landslides and calculated the collapse ratio in Cishan Creek watershed using satellite images before and after the Typhoon event. Besides, the VRR of the watershed was evaluated by applying the image taken a year after the hits of Morakot. The results show that the collapse ratio and VRR of the watershed were 8.07% and 7.24% respectively. The topographic factors of the watershed such as watershed area, watershed perimeter, watershed length, length of mainstream, rivers of total length, number of rivers, elevation, relief, number of headwaters, slope, watershed width, form factor, stream frequency and stream order are employed to study the contributions to the collapse ratio and VRR of the watershed. Among them, the factors of watershed perimeter, number of headwaters, number of rivers, elevation, slope, relief, watershed width and form factor can be classified as categories of scale, gradient, and form three principal component axes, which extract about 83.79% of information and show significant effects on the collapse ratio and VRR of the watershed. The VRR can further be grouped as excellent, ordinary, and poor rates, the collapse ratio be grouped as high, medium and low by K-means, which couples with discriminant analysis can derive Fisher''s linear discriminant function to explore the affecting factors of the collapse ratio and VRR for the watershed landslides. The results indicate that the accuracy of the classification for the collapse ratio and VRR can reach 67.5% and 70%. The topographic factors of a watershed can effectively interpret the potential landslides and VRR. The difference of categories derived from K-means and discriminant analysis can be used as the index of management priority. No. 21, 22, 28, 31, 33及36 are the management compartments which needed to be more concerned in Cishan Creek watershed, and the models developed in this study can be as the references of watershed landslide management.

The main business of banks is to regulate the supply and demand of funds by providing and creating credit. While seeking their own profit, banks also serve the role of financial intermediaries at the same time, in order to promote the development of the national economy and to enhance the liveliness and efficiency of economic activities. In recent years, due to the changes in the financial environment, the banking business has become increasingly complex, and the risks of operations increase substantially. How to effectively manage risks and to ensure the sound operation of banks has become an important issue for bankers. The essential task banks need to work on is to reduce bad debts. If the banks can strengthen the credit quality control in the credit granting stage, the credit risk can be reduced significantly. An analysis of the domestic banking shows that data warehouse of quantitative data for the rating system has been developed soundly. However, the qualitative rating system has not been established effectively due to the fact that qualitative information is not easy to collect. This study focuses on the perspective of bank credit officers, and uses fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to understand the measurement indices for bank credit decision-making. The priorities of indices are analyzed for the corporate credit and personal credit, respectively. The information can support bank clerks in making credit decisions, and allow the banks to understand the importance of providing and analyzing instant information of industry and business environment. As a result, the banks can enhance the credit quality, reduce the risk, and increase the profitability.

Taiwan is an island with steep sloping, vulnerable terrain that receives heavy rainfall during typhoon seasons; therefore landslides occur easily in mountain regions. Landslides not only cause loss of human life but also sedimentation in reservoirs that causes problems including loss of capacity and effects water quality. Reservoirs are the primary water source for cities, however most catchments are located in mountain regions which are prone to landslides, therefore landslides have become an important issue in regards to reaching the goal of water resource sustainability in Taiwan. In this study, landslide data was mapped by using FORMOSAT-2 images (2004~2012) then determining spatial statistics indices to analysis the landslide distribution characteristics and site for priority management in the catchment. Here we selected the top three reservoirs with high sedimentation rates, that included Tseng-Wen, Nan-Hua and Shih-Men as a study area according to a report from the Water Resource Agency 2012. First, landslide data was with environmental factors to realize the relationship between landslide distribution and environmental factors, then using a landscape metric, a hotspot analysis was conducted to detect changes and to quantify landslide data to further realize the Spatio-Temporal distribution of landslides from 2004 to 2012. Finally, it is possible to determine the priority site for management in the catchment by integrating the results with the sedimentation rate of the reservoirs and stepwise regression. The results show that landslides occur easily with weak rock mass strength, hilly slopes throughout the study areas. Landslides were primarily distributed on areas with a distance within 400 meters of drainage systems in Tseng-Wen and Shih-Men, within 800 meters in Nan-Hua;with an aspect facing east, south east, south and southwest in Tseng-Wen and Nan-Hua, east, northeast and northeast in Shih-Men;with land use of water conservancy in Tseng-Wen, bare land cover in Nan-Hua, forest in Shih-Men ; with elevation from 1250 to 1750 meters in Tseng-Wen, 750 to 1000 meters in Nan-Hua, 3250 to 3500 meters in Shih-Men. Additionally the landslides induced by fault zones in Tseng-Wen. According to landscape metrics, the landslide area average and standard deviation has increased in tendency but the landslide fractures have decreased in tendency from year to year in the Tseng-Wen and Nan-Hua reservoirs. This result indicates the landslide distribution from dispersion to concentration, and even merge with each other. In Shih-Men the landslide area average and standard deviation reached the maximum but fractures reach to the minimum in 2008. This shows the landslide distribution is the most concentrated during the past year. Using the hotspot analysis, this study found that the landslide hotspot area which is near the drainage system in all the study areas, which reveals that the area with high landslide cluster is near the drainage system. The landslide change detection shows typhoon events which cause the disturbance significant by calculating a generative ratio, reactive ratio and recovery ratio. The top three typhoon events are Morakot(2009/08/05), Krosa(2007/10/04), Haitang(2005/07/16) in Tseng-Wen, Morakot(2009/08/05) Kalmaegi(2008/07/16), Aere(2004/08/23) in Nan-Hua, Aere(2004/08/23), Morakot(2009/08/05), Krosa(2007/10/04) in Shih-Men. Finally we integrated the results with the sedimentation rate of the reservoirs and stepwise regression to decide a site for priority management in catchment. The results show the priority site for management is the hotspot area with high mean patch size(MPS) Tseng-Wen, watershed with a smaller recovery ratio in Nan-Hua, hotspot area with high total landslide area(TA) in Shih-Men. Management of these priority sites will increase the efficiency of catchment integrity. This study can be used as a reference by administrators of reservoirs in drafting relevant strategies and management policies.

Abstract:
<p>The seismic resilience of new and existing structures is a key priority for the protection of human lives and the reduction of economic losses in earthquake prone areas. The modern seismic codes have focused on the upgrade of the structural performance of the new and existing structures. However, in many cases it is preferrable to mitigate the effects of the earthquakes by reducing the induced loads in the structures using seismic isolation and response control devices. The limited expertise in the selection and design of the appropriate system for new and existing structures is the main challenge for an extensive use of seismic isolation and response control systems in practice.</p> <p>This document aims to provide a practical guide by presenting a collection of the most commonly used seismic isolation and response control systems and a critical evaluation of the main characteristics of these systems. Comparisons of the key parameters of the design processes for new buildings with seismic isolation are presented, while the application of seismic isolation systems and response control systems for the retrofitting of existing structures is also examined, followed by various case studies from Greece, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Turkey.</p>

Abstract:
AbstractThe paper draws from the district-level food security atlases of rural Bihar and Jharkhand prepared by the Institute for Human Development (IHD). The atlases explore the dimensions and approach to measuring food security as well as the linkages with the component indicators. Food availability, access to food, and utilization of food are the three dimensions that have been delved into in detail. It identifies the ‘priority indicators’ and ‘priority districts’ which are the most food-insecure regions in both the states. The government programmes relevant to food insecurity have been briefly analysed and policy interventions have been suggested to improve the food security situation, especially in the food insecure regions of the two states. Female literacy rate, dependency ratio, disease and health behaviour, access to toilet facilities, availability of non-agricultural employment opportunities, and extent of irrigation have emerged as crucial policy variables for overall food security in Bihar. On the other hand, in Jharkhand, the value of agricultural output, availability of health institutions, and dependency ratio have emerged as priority indicators related to food security. Special welfare programmes targeted at vulnerable communities and food-insecure regions are suggested in both states to tackle food insecurity. There is also an imperative need to increase the availability and accessibility of health institutions in both states. At the same time, an increase in agricultural productivity by enhancing irrigation coverage is a crucial aspect, common for both states. An increase in dietary diversity through community and individual kitchen gardens is also suggested for improving the status of malnourishment in rural areas of Bihar and Jharkhand.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter deals with key structural issues facing Indian agriculture since Independence. In the context of federal fiscal relations as well as shared responsibilities towards agricultural development, it examines spending on capital formation and subsidies in agriculture vis-à-vis other economic sectors. It then deals with reforms in the subsidy regime (relating to both inputs and ouput) and the implications of the agri-marketing laws enacted in 2020, since retracted. The agriculture sector (including irrigation) has always received relatively lower priority in public expenditure. Morever, the spending bias has been more towards input subsidies rather than on investment, which may affect agriculture growth in due course. The institutional, price and legislative reforms and structural changes identified in the paper suggest that the agricultural sector requires handholding. The Government of India and state governments should work in tandem to accelerate rural infrastructure, target specific regions as well as small and marginal farmers for support, and create a competitive environment that stimulates investment, productivity and marketing efficiency. States should also be given more flexibility in drawing up action plans relating to the production and marketing of produce to encourage farmers and the private sector. A greater role for existing institutions in coordination and to ensure effective implementation of policies is called for.

Abstract:
AbstractThe benefits of traditional medicine have been known since ancient times in Indonesia, functioning as an alternative to treat various diseases and maintain the body’s immune. This research aims to determine consumer preferences and the dominant attributes that are the main priority for traditional medicine. The analytical tool in this research used conjoint analysis. This research is descriptive using primary data. Sampling was done by purposive sampling method from 61 respondents. The research instrument was tested using validity and reliability tests. The research results were analyzed descriptively, and a trend test was conducted. The research results regarding the dominant attributes that will become the main priority in consumer preferences for traditional medicines indicate that the research instruments are valid and reliable to be used in research. The analysis shows that most consumers love traditional medicine in a liquid form with a mint taste and labeled with BPOM and Halal certification. In choosing traditional medicine, consumers tend to prioritize the value of the certification label first with an importance of 58.390%, followed by taste sensory with an importance value of 28.531%, and the last is related to the type of product with 13.079%. The correlation output to measure predictive accuracy obtained a high and significant correlation value.

Abstract:
Helicopter accident investigation reports indicate that takeover control maneuvers in low level flight may lead to loss-of-control. In this paper, novel methods for control transfer are implemented to address this safety issue. Through the use of active inceptor systems, the traditional mechanical linkage between pilot and copilot inceptors can be emulated using priority functions, which act to actively decouple inceptors in one control station. Takeover control maneuvers are tested in a dual pilot helicopter simulation environment to evaluate two inceptor decoupling methods, namely a priority pushbutton (manual) and a priority force threshold (automatic). Results indicate that the takeover maneuvers were successfully performed in low level flight without over control when using both priority functions. The priority functions led to a workload reduction when compared to a benchmark configuration without inceptor decoupling. Positive ratings in usefulness and satisfaction scales indicate pilot acceptance of the priority functions tested.

Abstract:
Abstract The selection of a feasible support structure for the site-specific environmental conditions helps in reducing the capital cost of the offshore wind turbines. As the study location falls under shallow water depth, the bottom fixed structures such as monopile, tripile and jacket have been considered as alternatives. The analysis of the alternatives has been carried out using API and DNVGL codal provisions in a finite element based framework, accounting for hydrodynamic and soil structure interaction effects. OWTs are simultaneously subjected to aerodynamic loads from the turbine blade rotations, estimated using blade element momentum theory based software and are coupled analysis is carried out. Multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is adopted to aid in the decision making regarding the choice of the feasible support structure. Multi-criteria evaluation problem consists of a viable set of alternatives for a given problem. MCDA explicitly evaluates the conflicting criteria involved in the decision making. It helps analyzing a complex problem using a predefined set of variables/criteria to derive at a logical solution. Among the various methods of MCDA for evaluating the alternatives against the criteria, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been adopted. In this, the pairwise comparison is made for the given alternatives using predefined criterion. The criteria considered for the study are structural configuration, fabrication, transportation and installation of the structure. The criterion again are classified into different sub criteria in order to sort out the priority of all the alternatives. The support structure with the highest priority has been identified as the optimal and feasible structure for the location under study.

Full text
Abstract:
Anaplasmosis is an arthropod-borne disease of cattle caused by the rickettsia Anaplasmamarginale and is an impediment to efficient production of healthy livestock in both Israel and the United States. Currently, the only effective vaccines are derived from the blood of infected cattle. The risk of widespread transmission of both known and newly emergent pathogens has prevented licensure of live blood-based vaccines in the U.S. and is a major concern for their continued use in Israel. Consequently, development of a safe, effective vaccine is a high priority. Despite its drawbacks as a live, blood-based vaccine, the Israel vaccine strain protects against disease upon challenge with wild-type A. marginale in extensive experimental trials and during 50 years of deployment in Israel. Field studies in Australia and Argentina indicate that this protection is broadly effective. Thus, to identify antigens for development of a safe and effective recombinant vaccine, we have used a comparative genomics approach by sequencing the Israel vaccine strain and searching for shared surface antigens with sequenced wild-type U.S. strains. We have focused on Msp2, the immune-dominant but antigenically variable surface protein, based on shared structure among strains and demonstration that antibody from cattle immunized with the Israel vaccine strain binds Msp2 from the genetically and geographically distinct U.S. St. Maries strain, consistent with the ability to protect against St. Maries challenge. Importantly, we have defined the full repertoire of Msp2 simple variants encoded by the vaccine strain and hypothesize that a recombinant vaccine encoding this full repertoire will induce protection equivalent to that induced by the live vaccine strain. Any escape from immunity by generation of complex Msp2 variants is predicted to carry a severe fitness cost that prevents high-level bacteremia and disease— consistent with the type of protection induced by the live vaccine strain. We tested the hypothesis that the Msp2 simple variant repertoires in wild-type A. marginale strains are recognized by antibody from cattle immunized with the Israel vaccine strain and that immunization with the vaccine strain Msp2 repertoire can recapitulate the protection provided by the vaccine strain upon challenge with Israel and U.S. strains of A. marginale. Our findings demonstrate that a set of conserved outer membrane proteins are recognized by immune serum from A. centrale vaccinated animals but that this set of proteins does not include Msp2. These findings suggest that “subdominant” immunogens are required for vaccine induced protection.

Abstract:
This report presents the results of a long-term trend analyses of seasonal bird community data from a monitoring effort conducted on the Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area (CIDMMA) from 2008 to 2020, Portsmouth, VA. The USACE Richmond District collaborated with the College of William and Mary and the Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory, Waterbird Team, to conduct year-round semimonthly area counts of the CIDMMA to examine species presence and population changes overtime. This effort provides information on the importance of the area to numerous bird species and bird species’ groups and provides an index to those species and group showing significant changes in populations during the monitoring period. We identified those species regionally identified as Highest, High, and Moderate Priority Species based on their status as rare, sensitive, or in need of conservation attention as identified by the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture (ACJV), Bird Conservation Region (BCR), New England/Mid-Atlantic Bird Conservation Area (BCR 30). Of 134 ranked priority species in the region, the CIDMMA supported 102 of 134 (76%) recognized in the BCR, including 16 of 19 (84%) of Highest priority ranked species, 47 of 60 (78.3%) of High priority species, and 39 of 55 (71%) of Moderate priority species for BCR 30. All bird count and species richness data collected were fitted to a negative binomial (mean abundance) or Poisson distribution (mean species richness) and a total of 271 species and over 1.5 million birds were detected during the monitoring period. Most all bird species and species groups showed stable or increasing trends during the monitoring period. These results indicate that the CIDMMA is an important site that supports numerous avian species of local and regional conservation concern throughout the year.

Full text
Abstract:
Airborne dust is an essential component of climatological and biogeochemical processes. Blowing dust can adversely affect agriculture, transportation, air quality, sensor performance, and human health. Therefore, the accurate characterization and forecasting of dust events is a priority for air quality researchers and operational weather centers. While dust detection and prediction capabilities have evolved over the preceding decades, the weather modeling community must continue to improve the location and timing of individual dust event fore-casts, especially for extreme dust outbreaks. Accordingly, Researchers at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are establishing a series of reference case study events to enhance dust transport model development and evaluation. These case studies support ongoing research to increase the accuracy of simulated dust emissions, dust aerosol transport, and dust-induced hazardous air quality conditions. This report documents five new contributions to the reference inventory, including detailed assessments of dust storms from three regions with differing meteorological forcing regimes. Here, we examine two extreme dust episodes that affected India, a multiday berg wind event in southern Africa, a strong but short-lived dust plume from the Atacama Desert of Chile, and a narrow, isolated dust plume emanating from a dry lake bed in Patagonia.

Abstract:
This Rapid Evidence Summary aimed to identify barriers and enablers to embedding smoking cessation support into the routine work of community service organisations (CSOs), a setting which provides access to priority and disadvantaged groups. The authors also looked more broadly at barriers and enablers to supporting provision of preventive care targeting key chronic diseases in order to draw relevant lessons from these. The findings indicate that many factors influence the integration of smoking cessation support into CSOs and that understanding these and developing multi-strategic approaches are needed to improve care. The Summary will provide guidance to the Tasmanian Council of Social Services in developing their smoking cessation project.

Abstract:
This case study explores the 2018–22 implementation of a national community-based surveillance (CBS) programme in Sudan. The programme was designed to meet critical needs of the existing health surveillance system. It aimed to empower communities to detect and contain public health threats, improve relations between communities and their local health system, and involve villages in rural areas. Federal, state, and locality (district) staff attended CBS workshops before recruiting and training community volunteers. Over 8,000 volunteers across 11 states were recruited. The volunteers alerted staff to priority syndromes for communicable diseases as well as local events with public health implications (e.g., natural disasters, conflict-induced displacement, food insecurity). Lessons learnt can be used to increase understanding of large-scale CBS programmes and to identify opportunities to strengthen new and existing programmes.

Full text
Abstract:
Overconfidence leads to risky behavior, including when people are around guns. Does overconfidence also shape attitudes about gun ownership and use? We evaluate this possibility by conducting nationally representative surveys in six countries in the Americas, including the United States. Results show that overconfident individuals are more willing to accept the use of guns and more likely to declare their willingness to use guns. These results indicate that overconfidence is a significant behavioral trait correlated with attitudes toward weapons handling, ownership, carrying, and use. Overall, over-confidence could lead, in equilibrium, to lower regulation than optimal and a higher amount of guns, even before considering the effect of the electoral system, lobbying, and campaign contributions. Efforts to correct the biases of individuals confronted with making decisions about guns should be a priority, especially in regulatory contexts. Information about actual performance and the risks entailed by wrong choices is a must. Obliging individuals to reflect on their choices may also help correct observed biases.

Huntington, Dale. Meeting women's health care needs after abortion. Population Council, 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2000.1036.

Full text
Abstract:
Women who seek emergency treatment for abortion complications—bleeding, infection, and injuries to the reproductive tract system—should be a priority group for reproductive health care programs. These women often receive poor-quality services that do not address their multiple health needs. They may be discharged without counseling on postoperative recuperation, family planning (FP), or other reproductive health (RH) issues. Women who have had an induced abortion due to an unwanted pregnancy are likely to have a repeat abortion unless they receive appropriate FP counseling and services. Preventing repeat unsafe abortions is important for RH programs because it saves women's lives, protects women’s health, and reduces the need for costly emergency services for abortion complications. At the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, the world's governments called for improvements in postabortion medical services. As part of the resulting international postabortion care initiative, the Population Council’s Operations Research and Technical Assistance projects worked collaboratively to conduct research on interventions to improve postabortion care. This brief summarizes the major findings of this research and relevant studies by other international organizations.

Full text
Abstract:
Dust aerosols have a wide range of effects on air quality, health, land-management decisions, aircraft operations, and sensor data interpretations. Therefore, the accurate simulation of dust plume initiation and transport is a priority for operational weather centers. Recent advancements have improved the performance of dust prediction models, but substantial capability gaps remain when forecasting the specific location and timing of individual dust events, especially extreme dust outbreaks. Operational weather forecasters and US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) researchers established a series of reference case study events to enhance dust transport model evaluation. These reference case studies support research to improve modeled dust simulations, including efforts to increase simulation accuracy on when and where dust is lofted off the ground, dust aerosols transport, and dust-induced adverse air quality issues create hazardous conditions downstream. Here, we provide detailed assessments of four dust events for Central and East Asia. We describe the dust-event lifecycle from onset to end (or when dust transports beyond the area of interest) and the synoptic and mesoscale environ-mental conditions governing the process. Analyses of hourly reanalysis data, spaceborne lidar and aerosol optical depth retrievals, upper-air soundings, true-color satellite imagery, and dust-enhanced false-color imagery supplement the discussions.
