Full textAbstract:
Emergency events such as natural disasters, environmental events, sudden illness, and social security events pose tremendous threats to people’s lives and property security. In order to meet emergency service demands by rationally allocating mobile facilities, an emergency mobile facility routing model is proposed to maximize the total served demand by the available mobile facilities. Based on the uninterruptible feature of emergency services, the model abstracts emergency events act as a combination of multiple uncertain variables. To overcome the computational difficulty, a robust optimization approach and genetic algorithm are employed to obtain solutions. Illustrative examples show that it provides an effective method for solving the emergency mobile facility routing problem, and that the risk factor and penalty factor of the model can further guide decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
Allocation of emergency mobile facility is the key problem of the emergency response system, which affects the cost and the satisfaction of services for emergency so as to rapidly respond to disasters, contagions, etc. In order to seek a reasonable fleet size and locations of emergency mobile facilities, we propose a two-stage programming model with the objective function of minimizing the total cost. With uncertain characteristics of emergency event, the model conforms to the requirement for noninterruptible service and tries to satisfy all emergency demands. For overcoming the computational difficulty of emergency mobile facility fleet size and location problem, a robust optimization approach and modified ant colony algorithm are employed to obtain solutions. The illustrative example shows that the model can provide a reasonable solution to the determination of the fleet size and locations of emergency mobile facilities and that the risk recognition factor of the model can further guide decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
Fire emergency evacuation study has been conducted for decades. In recent two decades, the fire emergency evacuation studies have been incorporating new technologies due to the high demands on efficient and safe evacuation for occupants who have various needs. The proposed fire emergency evacuation system from academic research and solutions from industry practices adopt different technologies to serve various evacuees. Therefore, this study conducts literature review to understand the status quo of current fire emergency evacuation research and practice. It shows that fire emergency evacuation studies mainly focus on the facility operation stage instead of design and construction stages. The facilities include residential buildings, education buildings, subways, shopping centers, etc. Three critical factors affect efficient and safe fire emergency evacuation in a built environment – facility physical features, fire characteristics, and human behavior. This study categories these new technologies, which are incorporated into the fire emergency evacuation research and practices within the recent two decades, into four groups: (1) Facility geometrical analysis, which includes the technologies such as BIM, GIS, VR and the combination of BIM/GIS/VR (2) Fire and smoke simulation, e.g. FDS and Pyrosim. The simulation output such as fire and smoke dynamics is incorporated into intelligent fire evacuation system (3) Crowd evacuation simulation software, e.g. Pathfinder, Massmotion; the output of simulation is used to develop personalized evacuation system (4) Indoor positioning system and mobile device/IoT technology to track and evacuate occupants intelligently. This study presents these new technologies used in the fire emergency evacuation systems and indicates that the development of an intelligent and personalized emergency evacuation system, which may track the evacuees in real time, is the future research trend.

Full textAbstract:
Cell-phones are now incorporating the functions necessary for them to be used as mobile IT devices. In this paper, we present our results of the evaluation of cell-phones as the mobile IT device to assist workers in industrial plants. We use waterworks and sewage plants as examples. By employing techniques to squeeze the SCADA screen on CRT into a small cell-phone LCD, we have made it easier for a plant's field workers to access the information needed for effective maintenance, regardless of location. An idea to link SCADA information and the plant facility information on the cell-phone is also presented. Should an accident or emergency situation arise, these cell-phone-based IT systems can efficiently deliver the latest plant information, thus the worker out in the field can respond to and resolve the emergency.

Health facilities are places used to provide health services to the community. Types of public health facilities include hospitals, health centers, clinics, doctor's practices and pharmacies. Knowing the location of the nearest health facility is important in an emergency situation. One way to access health facility information quickly and easily is by using an application on a smartphone. This study builds a mobile application to locate the nearest health facility using the haversine formula. The use of the haversine formula allows users to search for the nearest health facility based on the user's current location. The application that was built can also display information in the form of a sequence of the nearest health facilities based on location data and the type of health facility selected. Testing on the functionality of the application interface was carried out using the black box method, and the test results were obtained based on user ratings of 82.38%, which means that the application built is in the very good category in terms of application interface functionality.

In Sweden, as in many other countries, paramedics or nurses constitute the majority of prehospital personnel. If tasks usually performed by doctors are to be performed by these personnel, there is a need for guidelines and triage in the handling of medical emergencies. We describe an information management system used in ambulances for data communication, documentation, triaging and presentation of checklists. In most cases, data are input while the patient is being cared for. The information is collected and stored together with data automatically received from the dispatch centre. The latter data are transferred by a mobile radio network to the ambulance. Medical data (e.g. electrocardiograms) are transferred from the ambulance over the data network to the receiving medical facility. All transferred data are finally collected in a database for statistical analysis and follow-up.

Public protection is one of important issues when operating nuclear facility. In case of accident occurs, the facility owner and related organizations shall make decision whether to evacuate people or not, based on the level of the accident and radiation dose rate released to the environment. In this study, as part of the decision support system for nuclear emergency response, a prototype of mobile radiation measurement system has been developed. The device consists of Geiger-Muller (GM)-based radiation measurement board, Global Positioning System (GPS) module, microcontroller board, and low power LoRa module for communication. Radiation dose rate along with its geoposition were recorded and sent to base station equipped with LoRa gateway for connecting LoRa network to TCP/IP-based network. The measurement data is then published to storage server using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. Power consumption, measurement of counter/timer accuracy, communication ranges testing, and radiation dose rate measurement were performed around Puspiptek area to demonstrate the functionality of the system.Keywords: Radiation monitoring, Decision Support System, Mobile, LoRa, GPS

IntroductionFacing the threats of disasters due to natural hazards and terrorist attacks, communities and nations are strategically preparing to respond rapidly to such incidents with the appropriate medical services. Both natural and complex disasters may produce a massive number of casualties that outstrip the ability of the local healthcare system to provide the required care. Damage to the healthcare infrastructure will further compromise the delivery of health services. Field hospitals (FHs) may provide care for the injured and act as a substitute for destroyed hospitals in the aftermath of sudden-onset disasters. A FH is a large mobile medical unit that temporarily provides care to casualties on-site before they can be transported safely to more permanent hospital facilities. The concept was inherited from the battlefield (such as the mobile army surgical hospital (MASH)). A FH is defined as a mobile, self-contained, self-sufficient healthcare facility capable of rapid deployment and expansion or contraction to meet immediate emergency requirements for a specified period of time. The FH may be dispatched temporarily with personnel or donated without personnel.MethodsField hospitals have been focused on providing emergency trauma care for the initial 48 hours following the sudden-onset disasters, but they tend to continue operations much longer after the on-set. The aim of this study was to assess the timing, activities, and capacities of the FHs deployed after a disaster, especially in severe environments, and provide guidelines on the implementation and deployment of a FH during a disaster. In particular, the activity of Italian Field Hospitals utilized during disasters, humanitarian emergencies, and mass-gatherings events will be described.ConclusionsField hospitals have been used successfully during disasters, and now have a crucial role in supporting affected populations and damaged healthcare infrastructures. Field hospitals also play a role in the international community response.

Full textAbstract:
The use of social media for information dissemination for education, environmental movement, natural disasters, emergency, election campaign, grass root movements, non-profit organisations, public health communication, and marketing for health promotion, e-governance, and political revolutions is well known. The economic significance of the health and medical tourism sector in the global healthcare business should not be underestimated. Internet is playing a leading role as a platform for the dissemination of medical tourism business information. In this century, more and more actual and potential tourists are accessing the internet and social media applications to find and disseminate factual information regarding medical tourism facilitators, destinations, super-speciality hospitals, specialist doctors and nurses, quality and accreditation, accommodation facility, cost, waiting period for surgery and sharing their positive and negative experiences to inform potential medical tourists. Healthcare providers and medical tourists acquire information, create, collaborate, communicate and disseminate healthcare and medical tourism related information through the Word-of-Social-Media (WoSM) tools such as FaceBook, Flickr, Twitter, Blogs, Forums, YouTube patient testimonials, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Photo and video sharing, Alexa and mobile applications. Therefore social media has a great potential as an information source and a knowledge dissemination tool for tourism industry to network and create clusters locally and globally, to exploit new innovative technologies for interaction and collaboration between the healthcare providers as well as the medical tourists. The main contribution of this chapter is to explore and discuss the role and use of social media applications for knowledge dissemination by hospitals and the medical tourists in the global business of medical tourism in India.

With the introduction of third generation of nuclear power AP1000, Westinghouse uses the mobile device (a mobile wastewater treatment device 6 units shared) radioactive waste system design concepts. This design not only simplifies the process of nuclear island waste system; saves equipment layout space; improves equipment utilization; while increases the use of new technologies lifetime of the plant and the possibility of flexibility. This paper introduces the first AP1000 unit (Sanmen, Zhejiang Province) by using the advanced mobile device technology and application of wastewater treatment under the condition of the primary coolant source level. At the same time, the paper also discusses the periodic system inspection and the strategy of maintenance. In addition, the paper further expands the application direction of the mobile waste processing aspects, such as: decommissioning of nuclear facilities; enhancing the facility decommissioning radioactive liquid waste purification capability. Another example: After the Fukushima accident, people pay more attention to accident-mitigation-design and hope to accelerate the development of emergency radioactive liquid waste processing devices. Thus, in addition to strengthening the nuclear power plant inherent defense in depth and resistance emergency capability, mobile waste treatment device or combination device special regional settings can be made to improve and enhance the ability to get more diversified emergency response.

Conventional and inadequate facility monitoring and planning commonly addressed severe consequences, including a significant amount of time allocation, which might lead to disruption in public service provision, cost, property damage, injuries, and fatalities. This study aims to answer the challenges in conventional facility monitoring and construction planning in the oil and gas industry by utilizing emerging technology, Augmented Reality (A.R.), and GIS integration. This research presents a new workflow involving site suitability analysis, field data collection, data visualization that integrates GIS capabilities, mobile technology, and A.R. connected seamlessly, called GIS-AR. Based on the results of this study, with approximately 1.6 meters measurement deviation, less operating time (< 10 seconds), and few workers involved (only one person), GIS-AR implementation showed benefits in facility operations, monitoring, and planning in the oil and gas industry. Those values answered the challenges faced by the industry in time management and worker efficiency, at which the cost can be potentially saved up to 98%. The convergence of GIS, web mapping, mobile technology, and A.R. implies the emergence of location-based systems and, in sequence, the diminishing use of traditional analog maps by smartphone users. This convergence supports a new way of spatial data exploration.

Abstract This abstract outlines the implementation of Virtual Tour (4.0) facilitating maintaining the dynamic changes to ADNOC OFFSHORE assets because of continuous ongoing Plant Modifications / Projects, thus resulting in the Engineering Drawings and 3D Models being overwhelmingly out of date, which impacts safety, operation and maintenance. Site visit becomes mandatory for decision making both by Company & Contractor personnel due to delay in availability of as-built drawings and 3D intelligent Models for a given facility. Capitalizing on the advancement of Virtual Reality technology by creating an interactive Virtual Reality environment for all ADNOC Offshore operational sites is the need of the hour. Authorized and secured Business Users across ADNOC Offshore will have instantaneous visualization of offshore sites which optimizes the requirement for site visits meant for engineering, tendering activities and familiarization programs by more than 80%. The output will be a user-friendly web portal easily deployed on the desktop or on a mobile device, the format following the spirit of "Street View" navigation that entails utilizing the latest 3D high-resolution laser scan technology output of point cloud & 360° high resolution photographs superimposed on each other. A virtual tour environment/solutions aims to provide the below listed benefits, which is believed to be a future road map in terms of Return on Investment ➣ Site visits were reduced by almost 80%, so less overhead Logistic cost and direct man-days saving. ➣ Contractor's multiple site visits are avoided which is 2 to 4 Weeks Savings per Project/PMRs. ➣ Minimize Contract Variations due to site conditions with clear photos and sizing capabilities; variations any show stopper or risks are identified during the early stage of engineering. ➣ Provide visual support for Operations and HSE related induction/ training with the aid of 360° high resolution Images and Remote site measurement (up to ±3mm accuracy) ➣ Improve work preparation and facilitate the risk assessment process by identifying the equipment located in the area with Tag viewing feature. ➣ Visualize the event location and surroundings during emergency situations and drills. ➣ Facilitating visual inspection/coating inspection which reduces inspection & maintenance costs. ➣ Reduces dependency on the as-built layout drawings and intelligent 3D Model related to site conditions. ➣ Superimposing of 3D intelligent and non-intelligent model with laser scan true view point cloud. ➣ Facilitate up-to-date development of 3D e-Learning training modules. ➣ Facilitate to complement in the development of Digital Twin ➣ Less travelling to site will reduce Greenhouse emission and fuel consumption. ➣ Reducing the issuance of Permit to work.

There is a lack of reporting on the connection between Humanitarian Country Team Health Clusters and the three funds (the Global Fund, the Gavi Alliance, and the Global Financing Facility (GFF)), both generally and for the three countries of focus (Mozambique, Uganda, and Nigeria). The Global Fund is noted to partner with the Global Health Cluster but details were not identified within the scope of this report. Global Fund A Global Fund board meeting report and a review of Fund investments in challenging operating environments notes partnering and joining with the Global Health Clusters but does not give detail of specific countries. The Global Fund does not include Mozambique or Uganda in their list of challenging operating environments. There are reports of emergency funding being allocated for refugees in Uganda, and for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Mozambique. Countries are encouraged to include refugees in their funding requests to the Global Fund. Some Global Fund supported operations for HIV treatment in Mozambique have been interrupted as people receiving treatment fled from violence. Partners in provinces where the displaced are arriving are implementing emergency plans to maintain continuity of care. A Global Fund initiative for removing human-rights barriers to health treatment does not list refugees or IDPs as vulnerable groups for HIV programming. The same initiative in Uganda did specifically support distribution of nets to help prevent malaria. A 2017 audit report on Global Fund grant management in high-risk environments found inadequate early warning mechanisms to identify risk levels of grants. Gavi Alliance Gavi Alliance policy documentation states that a flexible and tailored approach is taken to achieve equity in fragile or emergency situations and for the needs of displaced populations. Requests for flexible support are based on specific needs which must be justified. The policy puts a strong emphasis on ensuring the inclusion of displaced populations. It encourages governments to provide immunisations independent of residency and legal status. They provide extra support where justified for displaced people. Very little information on Gavi activity in the countries of focus for this report was found. Global Financing Facility The GFF 2021-2025 strategy reports offering support in complex humanitarian settings but detail is not included. An earlier report describes GFF support in Nigeria where the Facility were able to finance a targeted project in a short timeframe. Distinction is made between this type of support and emergency support which is not part of the design of the GFF and is unable to quickly release lifesaving funds in emergency situations. The short timeframe funding was provided to support the Nigerian State Health Investment Project where violence had disrupted health services and where health indicators were poor. Mobile health teams were contracted out to hard-to-reach areas. Outreach included psychosocial support.
