Abstract:

ABSTRACT Resources at the scene of an oil spill involve a significant number of response personnel, equipment, and support materials. The current practice of using single resource management during oil spill emergencies is ineffective and extremely time-consuming. This form of resource tracking results in the overtaxation of the resource status unit (RESTAT) and does not give the operations section the best opportunity to make tactical decisions based on the location of available resources. The recent use of comprehensive resource management as part of the incident command system (ICS) (Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 1990) with strike teams and task forces for the deployment of personnel and equipment during an industry-led National Preparedness for Response Exercise Program (PREP) (Incident Command Systems, Fire Publications, no date) exercise provided an opportunity to implement a more efficient and effective system for the deployment and tracking of resources. The deployment of strike teams and task forces greatly reduces the number of resources to be tracked and provides the operations section with a more realistic view of available and assigned resources. This results in better allocation of resources to more effectively manage the tactical priorities of an incident. In addition, the tasks of the cost control and food services units are made simpler by a more accurate picture of on-scene resources and personnel.

Abstract:

The term Human Resource Planning (HRP) can be used to achieve organizational objectives by understanding and planning for employees’ needs in the short, medium and long term in order to deliver desired results. Little research that has been conducted on HRP and most are from the private sector and none to be found in the public sector. This study was conducted in the public institution in South Africa. The literature consulted provides an overview that HRP solves current and future organizational problems by ensuring that the right people are in the right place at the right time. This is achieved by analyzing the current profile of the workforce and comparing it with future needs so that gaps, which need to be filled, can be identified. The paper intended to investigate the extent to which employees are well-resourced to perform their duties in centres of the municipality to the community. The investigation used mixed methods in its data collection. 45 participants participated in responding the self-administered questionnaire and seven participated in one-on-one interviews. The study found that half of employees who are working for the centres of the municipality includes supervisors who lack educational attainments, as they hold only grade 12 and no development was initiated. The study recommended the whole the municipality to establish and implement a promotion policy. All necessary equipment and tools provided were insufficient, as required by the Act, to provide all services to the public.

Abstract:

Abstract Natural resource management agencies share revenue from sale of commodities with Western States (states north and west of Kansas and New Mexico) through five important programs, including the 25% Fund and PILT. Since 1977, the aggregate value of these payments has increased by about two-thirds, when measured in current dollars; in constant dollars, the aggregate value has decreased by about one-tenth. Revenues shared through the Mineral Lands Leasing Act accounted for the most (49%), and the Taylor Grazing Act accounted for the least (1%). An overview of major revenue-sharing programs is provided.

Abstract:

There has been recent interest shown by Australian State and Federal Ministers in New Zealand's Resource Management Act. 'What does this Act require of industry? where did it come from? what does it do and how much support does it have?', are the main questions asked by these Ministers. It appears that some Ministers in Australia may want to copy parts of the Act. The main thrusts of the legislation, its disadvantages and suggestions for improvements are discussed.The main points are summarised:Prior to 1991 the management and planning of resources and the environment within New Zealand was controlled by a myriad of Acts. In 1991 the Government repealed 54 pieces of legislation and replaced these with the Resource Management Act (RMA) and the Crown Minerals Act (CMA). These two pieces of legislation have had an enormous impact on petroleum exploration.Prior to 1991 the Town and Country Planning Act was the main Act responsible for providing guidance for planning processes with a focus of managing activities, whereas the focus of the RMA is the sustainable management of the effects of activities on natural and physical resources (land, water and air). The RMA provides that the harvesting of minerals is exempt from the sustainability requirement, but that the effects of exploration and mining activities on the environment are not.Industry is supportive of the approach that effects are to be managed, not the activities themselves, as it places all activities on a level playing field.There are some disadvantages of the RMA. If parts of the Act are to be copied by other countries, then it would be wise to avoid these.

Abstract:

Since its enactment over five decades ago, the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the organizations, policies, and regulations implementing it have strongly influenced how archaeology is conducted in the United States. The NHPA created a national network of archaeologists in government agencies. This network reviews the possible impact on important archaeological resources of tens of thousands of public projects planned each year. These reviews often include investigations, of which there have been millions. The archaeological profession has shifted from one oriented mainly on academic research and teaching to one focused on field investigations, planning, resource management, public outreach, and resource protection, bundled under the term cultural resource management (CRM). Since 1966, growth has produced good outcomes as well as some troubling developments. Current and new challenges include avoiding lock-step, overly bureaucratic procedures and finding the financial, professional, and technical resources, as well as political support, to build on the achievements so far.

Abstract:

Compared to other age groups, young novice drivers have a higher risk of being involved in road crashes. Recent research has indicated that, depending on certain passenger and driver characteristics, passengers can have either a positive or negative influence on driver behaviour and also that the principles of Crew Resource Management (CRM) training might be beneficial in addressing some of the problems associated with young driver behaviour when in the presence of passengers. This paper describes a program of research that was undertaken in order to investigate the potential application of CRM training principles within young driver training programs in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), a jurisdiction located in South-East Australia. The findings indicate that the application of CRM principles within young driver training is a viable concept to pursue, and that such interventions have the potential to significantly enhance the positive, and reduce the negative effects of passengers on young driver behaviour. In conclusion to this research, a set of recommendations for the development of an ACT-based trial young driver CRM training program are proposed, and recommendations for further research regarding CRM and driver training are discussed.

Abstract:

The urgent need to develop South Africa's human resources in the public service has been conceptualized in many policy documents. The underlying objective of efforts to strengthen the human resources in the public sector, is the delivery of effective services to the people of South Africa. In line with the White Paper on the Transformation of the Public Service, 1995, the effective mobilization, development and utilization of human resources are stressed as important factors in the transformation of the public service because of their contribution to individual and institutional capacity to ensure effective governance. Financial resources are important in order to develop and sustain the skills of the public servants; however, there is a tendency to cut the budget for human resource development programmes. Alternative methods should be developed to obtain additional sources of income.

Abstract:

China itself is vulnerable to environmental threats. With its sheer size and population, China faces immense potential threats from global warming and uneven access to natural resources. At the same time, the legitimacy of the central government heavily relies on the country’s economic performance which in turn relies on the exploitation of natural resources. China is faced with growing pressure as to how it effectively manages natural resources on an international scale. This paper examines a dilemmatic situation that great powers are faced with the participation in international environmental cooperation. The formation of multi-lateral environmental agreements requires that nation states comply with environmental responsibilities when exercising sovereign rights over environmental resources. Great powers confront more pressure as they are expected to commit to greater responsibilities in international affairs. Adopting the sharing of the Mekong river basin as a case study, this paper examines the role China plays as a great power when exercising its right to appropriate natural resources. Changes are found in China’s international water policy including the establishment of the multi-lateral mechanism. This paper concludes that China’s policy developments in resource governance facilitate China to promote coordinated actions over the shared water resources. At the same time, such balancing acts serve to legitimize China’s dominance over the management of the Mekong river basin, which is embedded in the country’s Belt and Road Strategy.

This paper examines the development of adaptive management in New Zealand’s resource management case law. In particular, this paper investigates a Supreme Court decision (Sustain Our Sounds Inc v King Salmon New Zealand Co Ltd), which established a set of criteria for implementing adaptive management through New Zealand’s Resource Management Act. This paper describes King Salmon’s initial request for aquaculture permits, the Supreme Court appeal, and the Supreme Court’s justification for an adaptive management approach. Analyzing this justification, this paper explores the remaining constraints using an adaptive management approach to enable a more agile and flexible resource management system in New Zealand.

Abstract:

Although the annual precipitation in Korea is 30% higher than the world average, increased population, urbanization and industrialization, as well as improved living standard have caused problems such as water shortage, flood damage, and water pollution. Additional multi-purpose dams and infra-structures are supposed to be constructed by 2011. On the other hand, water demand control is also suggested. This includes water saving by increasing water price, reuse of treated water, development of new water resources and rainfall management. Beside the Comprehensive Measures on the Provision of Clean Water, Comprehensive Water Quality Management Measures for the Four Major Rivers and Act on Watershed Management and Community Support are the main policies to be implemented for improving the quality of major rivers. Recently, Total Water Pollution Load management is voluntarily pursued for sustainable management of water resources.

Abstract:

The Supreme Court's decision in Environmental Defence Society Inc v King Salmon Co Ltd, of early 2014, is a positive development in New Zealand's resource management law. The decision endorses the environmental bottom line approach and prohibits the use of the purpose section of the Resource Management Act 1991 when making operative decisions. If the decision is applied widely, there is scope for some of the problems with the resource management law framework to be addressed. In particular, the decision has the potential to reduce the uncertainty within the system caused by the lack of central government direction and the inconsistencies between local governments, and the issues when applying the purpose of the Resource Management Act. The article also analyses the effect of the decision on the reforms to the Resource Management Act that were proposed in 2014, and concludes that the arguments for the reforms are now much weaker.

Abstract:

This research investigated the link between employee-orientated human resource management (EOHRM) counterproductive work behaviors targeted at individual members and organization in Ethiopia. Relaying on social exchange theory, organizational support theory, signaling theory, and relevant literature we examined how employee-oriented HRM practice affects counterproductive work behaviors by using perceived organizational support as a mediator. Data had been obtained from 555 workers and 150 supervisors from eight companies in Ethiopia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methods via SmartPLS has been used to determine the hypothesized links pertaining to employee-oriented HRM and counterproductive work behavior directed towards individual members and the organization. Final results confirmed that perceived organizational support fully mediated the relationship between employee-oriented HRM and counterproductive work behaviors. The impact of employee-oriented HRM on counterproductive work behavior-organizational via perceived organizational support were stronger than the impact of employee-oriented HRM on counterproductive work behavior – individual (interpersonal). The findings suggest that organizations may minimize (reduce) employees’ counterproductive work behavior by putting into action employee-oriented HRM practices that would uplift perceived organizational support that finally prevents the tendency to act against the organization and its members.

Abstract:

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The management of heritage resources within the South African context is governed by the National Heritage Resources Act, act 25 of 1999 (NHRA). This legislation calls for an integrated system of heritage management that allows for the good governance of heritage across the three tiers of government. The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), as the national body responsible for heritage management, is mandated to compile and maintain an inventory of the national estate. The South African Heritage Resources Information System (SAHRIS) was designed to facilitate this mandate as well as provide a management platform through which the three-tiers of governance can be integrated. This vision of integrated management is however predicated on the implementation of the three-tier system of heritage management, a system which to date has not been fully implemented, with financial and human resource constraints being present at all levels. In the absence of the full implementation of this system and the limited resources available to heritage authorities, we argue that a risk based approach to heritage management will allow under resourced heritage authorities in South Africa to prioritise management actions and ensure mitigations are in place for at risk heritage resources. The aim of this paper is to position the inventory of the national estate as the key driver in the production of risk analysis models for an informed approach to heritage management.</p>

Abstract:

There is a delicate dance between outsourcing vendors and the secure management of their knowledge resources at play. The challenge for the vendor stems from their need to earn their clients trust by engendering high levels of confidence in their abilities to effectively deliver goods and services sought by the client without compromising the security of their knowledge resources. The potential for the outsourcing vendor project teams to interact with a diverse set of clients adds and even greater level of complexity. However, some IT/IS outsourcing vendors manage to successfully execute this balancing act. Given the socio-technical nature of this phenomenon the authors will look to institutional, resource-based view and managerial control theories as avenues via which they seek to gain some understanding as to how they secure their knowledge resources.

Abstract:

With the commencement of Electronic Transaction Act, Nepal has taken further step in the field of information and communication technology. With government offices nowadays starting to use computers; there lies ahead many challenges to maximize the utilization of computing resources offered by each computer and minimize the overall cost. With many computers, so many idle resources are being wasted unnecessarily. Jobs can be distributed out to idle servers or even to idle desktops. Many of these resources remain idle during office hours off or even during office hours with many users utilizing the computing as well as memory resources. The proposed model not only utilizes resources to optimum but also makes the architecture more modular, adaptive and then provides dynamic fail over recovery and linear scalability. This approach is useful in a place which requires clusters to set up to perform resource intensive works like data processing or computing works. This model can be realized using JINI/Java Space technology which is open source technology and hence, can be cost effective as compared to other proprietary solutions. The motivating factor of this paper is to understand and identify the architectural constraint in the existing distributed application.

Abstract In this article we set out the key components of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) legislation and show how the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) implements ICM in New Zealand. We briefly discuss why ICM is needed and the definition of ICM. We then identify the key tools for delivering ICM, and outline three general components that we consider need to be provided for in any successful legislative framework for ICM, namely: policy goals, legislative provision and decision-making bodies. Next we discuss five specific kinds of tools that we consider an ICM legal framework should make provision for in order to give effect to ICM in decision making. We finish by acknowledging that the ability of ICM to successfully manage intensive use and conflict is not without criticism, and briefly considering these criticisms in light of New Zealand’s experience with the RMA.

Psychometric tests are widely used as aids in occupational decisions, including the selection and classification of human resources. Recent and ongoing developments in South African labour legislation, especially the implications of the Employment Equity Act, highlight once again the importance of validating all instruments used for assessment and selection purposes. This is a follow-up study, reporting on an investigation into psychometric testing in industry today. Information was gathered to establish which psychometric tests are presently used, and for what purpose. Biographical information on each company concerned is supplied, including the number of employees. The role of psychometric tests in the selection procedure is discussed, as well as the levels at which the tests were applied. The various tests used, as well as the users, are indicated, and comments, recommendations and shortcomings discussed.

These Regulations have been proposed under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 to replace the existing Schedule of Onshore Petroleum Exploration and Production Requirements 1991 (Amended 21 May 2010). The Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) is the agency that administers the regulations on behalf of the Minister and keeps the Minister informed of petroleum or geothermal energy resource activities. A draft was released on 5 April 2014 for public comment. The precise form and language of the proposed Regulations may change after public consultation, but the intent of the regulations will remain the same. The regulations will provide the framework for administration and compliance for petroleum field developments, geothermal energy projects, well construction and data submission and release. Activities are expected to be carried out in accordance with good oilfield practice and be compatible with the optimum long-term recovery of petroleum or geothermal energy. The Resource Management and Administration Regulations (RMA) have moved from a prescriptive type of regime to an objectives-based risk management regime requiring operators to manage their operations ensuring world’s leading practice and a fit-for-purpose design. It is expected that operators will apply the relevant standards appropriate for their activities. It is understood also that technology will change and that standards might be changed to embrace the new technology. It is this factor that makes objectives-based regulation more apt than prescription-based regulation. Another factor is that prescription is unlikely to cover every possible circumstance that might occur. The focus is on a whole-of-life approach to exploration and development, from an initial exploration process, through any well interventions all the way to final decommissioning. This includes requiring titleholders to consider what maintenance and monitoring programs will be in place throughout the life of wells and to be ready for eventual decommissioning. The DMP has a continuous improvement process which involves monitoring developments in regulation worldwide. Published papers on drilling, completion, hydraulic stimulation, cementing and production on both conventional reservoirs and also shale and tight sands have been, and continue to be, researched to ensure that the regulations cover all aspects of petroleum and geothermal resource development.

Abstract:

The Americans With Disabilities Act extends protection against discrimination in employment to virtually all workers with disabilities in the United States. Previous federal laws protecting these individuals were limited in scope, not covering the vast majority of public sector employers. The ADA has consequently aroused a great deal of concern among employers. This paper examines the specific effects that the Act will have on organizations and explores some of the implications the Act has for these organizations and human resource management practices.

Abstract:

Production planning is clearly needed in all manufacturing systems, and that is also the case for job shops. When dealing with a small number of products or jobs repetitive scheduling becomes a major issue. In this situation, the same tasks are performed sequentially and repeated from job to job. To help with this problem, a resource scheduling tool is developed that would work alongside Microsoft Project. This tool should act as a front end to Microsoft Project and allow for the creation of a schedule with a minimal amount of work for the scheduling manager. Due to the repetitive nature of production processes, the tool should be able to eliminate most of the manual scheduling currently done exclusively in MS Project.

Abstract:

Now, our sewage treatment industry mainly depends on the blower of aeration act as metabolic, absorbed in the toxic substances. Blower resources management is the key issue of sewage treatment. Traditional resource scheduling algorithm exist some defects, for example it can not well meet the quality requirements and can not get the optimal solution. This article gives a new resource scheduling method based on improved genetic algorithm. It achieves grid resource scheduling by using real number encoding and activities point crossover. Experiments show that genetic algorithm can reduce executing time and task completion time, and further improve the scalability of resource scheduling model. This algorithm has stability and high efficiency in grid environment.

Abstract:

Human Resources Management also deal with the facilities and requirements the Human Workforce are availing and need for their working process and carrier growth. It used to act as a bidirectional process flow which increase the â€œWorkforceâ€ and â€œSenior Managementâ€ and collaborate everybodyâ€™s requirements in a solution space and help to provide a better and value added service or outcome to customer or client of the organization. To make a human resource department more effective and efficient new technologies are now being introduced on a regular basis so make things much simpler and more modernized. One of the latest human resource technologies is the introduction of a Human Resources Information System. This integrated system is designed to help provide information used in HR decision making such as administration, payroll, recruiting, training, and performance analysis.

Abstract:

All phases of the New Zealand petroleum industry (exploration, production, transportation, storage and distribution) are governed by various overlapping, if not conflicting, pieces of legislation. The separate treatment of petroleum under the Crown Minerals Act 1991 was a recognition that ownership and grants of right to mineral resources was a function of government that is distinct from protection of the environment. Nevertheless, the Resource Management Act 1991 is the central statute which co-ordinates conditions for prevention of marine pollution under the Marine Safety Authorities Act, Dangerous Goods Act, and the proposed Hazardous Substances and New Organisms legislation. On-the-ground compliance has largely been delegated to local authorities. The adoption of regional and district plans recognising petroleum exploration and production as a permitted activity subject to resource consent requirements presents the opportunity for the New Zealand petroleum industry to put forward a code of practice that integrates a system of compliance to meet many, if not all, statutory requirements and ease the administration of this legislation by local authorities.

Abstract:

Human Resource management is necessary for higher education institutions, because it is seen to enhance the achievement of the objectives of institutional effectiveness. To reach this objective, the study of human resources management by an educational institution to be very important, because it will be able to show how educational institutions should acquire, develop, use, evaluate, and maintain employee quantitatively and qualitatively. Development of human resources is sensed as to the personal empowerment of employees. Empowerment is done with the intention that potential, abilities and basic skills possessed by employees can be enhanced or may be used as an effort to shore up the smooth implementation of activities. In the concept of human resource development are two sides of profits, personal first employees to be more professional, well-trained and able to act decisively and quickly. On the organizational side of human resource development brings the advantage of implementation of the well, as supported by HR that has been professionally trained, and can reduce costs for training and further education. From a number of management functions are initiated by management experts, the main component of management are considered capable of facing future challenges universities as academic institutions include "planning, resource management, and assessment of results" These three major components will proceed in determining the shape of each cycle which one another at every stage of management. With the assessment of the results, will be able to describe the performance of college management. Performance evaluation then became the basis for planning the next stage of management, therefore, the planning process is dynamic (dynamic planning) and not static. Planning compiled based on performance evaluation to be a reference in designing the resource management within a few years. Overall management process should be conducted in a professional, effective and efficient in order to create good governance colleges. In the PP. No. 66 of 2010 stated that the management of the education unit is based on the following principles: Nonprofit, Accountability, Guarantor of quality, transparency and equitable access. While the model of development of human resources management approach is: a model of clerical, legal, financial, managerial and humanistic models. Human Resouce Development practices, employee performance results will look better and increase if the principles of human resource management universities applied in practice management and delivery of higher education. As the cornerstone of the general implementation of human resource development of quality higher education is to use humanistic approach. Because the use of humanistic approach, will be able to balance the provision of education between clerical and financial concepts.

Abstract:

Based on high carbon emissions in recent years (i.e., about 11 metric tons in 2018) per capita in terms of carbon dioxide equivalents, Taiwan has actively development greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction action plans. One of the action plans has been to promote afforestation and reforestation in non-forested lands for carbon sequestration. Thus, this paper aims to address the forest resources in Taiwan by using the latest national survey, reporting on an interactive analysis of forest carbon sequestration, GHG emissions, and climate-change mitigation policies. In this regard, the methodology is based on the official websites of forest resources, GHG emissions, and carbon sequestration from the yearbooks, national statistics, and regulations relevant to the mitigation policies in the forestry sector. It is found that Taiwan’s forest area is estimated to be 2.197 million hectares, which corresponds to a total forest stock volume of about 502.0 million cubic meters. During the period of 1990–2018, the change in total carbon sequestration did not vary much (with the exception of 2009), decreasing from 23.4 million metric tons in 1990 to 21.4 million metric tons in 2018. Compared to the total carbon dioxide emissions (i.e., 102.4 million metric tons in 1990 and 282.8 million metric tons in 2018), the contribution to GHG mitigation in the forestry sector shows a declining trend. However, biomass (i.e., wood) carbon sequestration indicates a slight increase from 20.4 million metric tons in 2010 to 20.7 million metric tons in 2018 due to the afforestation policy. Obviously, regulatory policies, based on the Forestry Act and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction & Management Act in 2015, play a vital role in mitigating GHG emissions in Taiwan. The discussion on the regulations is further addressed to highlight climate-change mitigation policies in Taiwan’s forestry sector.
