Full textAbstract:
Singapore is a small island country, but has won renown as uncorrupted government and high quality products. Independent testing and inspection played a very important role for this achievement[1]. The Housing and Development Board (HDB) is the sole public authority in Singapore and was set up as a statutory on 1 February 1960. Within 45 years, it built more than 700,000 flats housing approximately 86% of the population. Every year, around 40,000 new flats (about 400 blocks) are built up to meet the demands. In March 1992, HDB launched the 15-year main upgrading programme (MUP) to vying the finishes and facilities of old estates up to the standard of those in the new towns. The upgrading programme is a conscious effort by the government to provide a better living environment, strengthen existing community ties and enhance the value of our flats. The potential size of the upgrading program is approximately 370,000 units spread across 20 years, which works out to be 350 blocks per year. To ensure and maintain the high standards of the housing quality, Polymer concrete materials including polymer modified cement mortar, epoxy or PU floor screed and injection materials, and fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) materials are extensively used in the new and upgrading projects. In this paper, the various applications of polymer concrete composites in Singapore are described and discussed. The various categories of polymer concrete composites are extensively used in Singapore’s public and private projects. To ensure and maintain the high standards of the building quality, independent testing and inspection plays a very important role. Through implementing a quality control program to ensure high standards in product quality and performance requirements, Housing & Development Board (HDB), Singapore's public housing authority and statutory board under the Ministry of National Development, screens and provides a comprehensive selection of quality products needed for HDB construction projects through HDB's Materials List [2] with a set of product evaluation requirement. The development of the requirements and specifications for various polymer concrete composite products are also described and discussed

Full textAbstract:
Problem of inadequate housing faced by poor people around the world has been a matter of concern to governments in various countries especially in the developing world whereby significant portion of the population is mostly characterized by poverty. In such countries, the housing problem is not only that of quantity but also of the poor quality of available housing units. Private sector development in the Nigerian housing sector has been a standstill for more than a decade. With few exceptions, the private sector transactions that have taken place have been informal and on the fringe of legality. At the opposite of the spectrum, public sector activity is plagued with many problems. Instead of operating as a social policy, it operates more like a regressive lottery or patronage system. The results have been the simultaneous construction of some of the most luxurious subsidized housing in Africa, and general deterioration in housing conditions of most Nigerians, particularly the housing conditions of the poor. The recorded history of formal intervention into the housing sector in Nigeria dated back to the colonial administration, after the unfortunate outbreak of the bubonic plaque of 1928 in Lagos. This necessitated the establishment of the Lagos Executive Development Board (LEDB). This signifies the ushering of Nigerian public housing programmes intervention; which was during colonial era. The policies are modest with the ultimate aim of addressing the housing problem at a National scale. The policy focus then, was on the provision of expatriate quarters and some selected indigenous staff in Rail ways, Marine, Police and Armed forces. The construction of senior civil servant quarters in the capital city of Lagos and regional headquarters like Kaduna, Ibadan and Enugu are some of the practical efforts made at the same time some form of rent subsidy and housing loans.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1950s and 1960s, the National Association of Real Estate Boards and the California Real Estate Association openly opposed fair housing laws, referring to such laws as “forced housing.” Studies have noted that a handful of private developers spoke out against these major industry groups and even developed racially inclusive open-occupancy housing tracts. But the historiography has yet to account for the fact that some developers also helped shape fair housing laws behind the scenes. This study shows that major California developers Joseph “Joe” Eichler and his son Edward “Ned” Eichler exerted a great deal of influence on the regulatory environment by working with state and federal officials. This story is not better known because the Eichlers concealed their activism from the general public in an attempt to protect their business.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the pivotal role of initiatives that address housing disrepair, home improvements and adaptations as a way of improving health, independence and quality of life in older age. Design/methodology/approach The author uses data from housing and health, combined with the author’s experience of policy formulation as well as working with older people and developing practical services, particularly those which address private sector housing stock condition. Findings As well as its massive economic impact, housing greatly affects people’s health and wellbeing, not only in later life but across the life course. In England, there is a long history of systematic, government backed action to improve and maintain housing stock condition. There are significant economic and social gains from a coherent national response to addressing private sector housing disrepair, including creation of employment opportunities, economic stimulus through enabling best use of assets, as well as health and social care gains. In addition to increasing housing supply through building much needed new homes, existing housing stock disrepair needs once again to be “on the radar” of policy makers operating across health, social care and housing. Concerted action to make homes safe, healthy places to live in later life, whatever an older person’s tenure, requires vision and innovation and is an essential element in the integration of health, social care – and housing. With significant funding constraints in local authorities, especially for adult social care, and in the context of growing pressures on the NHS, sustaining good health in later life is more important than ever. There is a compelling case for cross-sector action to reduce health hazards in ordinary, private housing, given that 79 per cent of older people who live in non-decent homes are owner occupiers. This is an opportune moment for Health and Wellbeing Boards to take a lead on this issue at a local level, as well as time to put housing stock condition back “On the Radar” of national government policy. Social implications There is a need to embed practical housing services in the emerging integrated health and care systems in order to extend healthy later life for the majority of older people who live in mainstream housing. Originality/value The author draws on over 30 years’ experience of innovation, development and evaluation of older people’s housing, services and policy development to provide a vision for greater integration across health, care and housing.

Singapore has been taking various steps to develop its information resources since the publication of the Library 2000 report in 1994, which was preceded by the IT2000 plan in 1991. Libraries have been officially recognized as an integral part of the country's information infrastructure. A National Library Board was set up in 1996, to develop national and public library services and to spearhead collaboration with other government agencies in promoting access to information. A clearer distinction is being made between National Library services and public library services, both of which have been provided by the National Library. A National Reference and Information Service will include a National Reference Library, a Singapore Resource Library, and a Multimedia Information Centre. The public library system will be restructured to include five regional libraries, to serve the educational, informational, recreational and business needs of each region; 18 community libraries, catering primarily for the residents of Housing Development Board towns; and around 100 neighbourhood libraries, situated in HDB flats and currently aimed at children below the age of ten. Efforts are being made to coordinate national collection strategy, to orient services to markets and to create links with business and the community. The recognition of technology as a key enabler has led to several major initiatives. It is also recognized that technologically adept and information-oriented librarians are needed, and educational programmes to produce them are being developed, as well as short term recruitment and training activities. Research in library and information science is also encouraged. The Library 2000 initiative is part of a wider picture of fostering the cultural and intellectual capital of Singapore.

Full textAbstract:
The homeless movement in the United States has taken a more activist-oriented approach, as those advocating the rights of displaced poverty-stricken people seek solutions that go beyond the usual "out of sight, out of mind" offerings of charity such as soup kitchens and shelter. Organizations such as the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Union of the Homeless have staged demonstrations and publicity-capturing acts of disobedience all across the country, including the erection of a tent city in front of City Hall when the Union was organized in Tucson in December 1987. The collective demand is housing, specifically that Federal funds be restored to pre-Reagan levels. On July 14, 1988, as part of a national "Take Off the Boards" demonstration that occurred in fifty-four other cities, homeless people and advocates in Tucson occupied several vacant buildings to protest, in the words of the president of the Southern Arizona Coalition for the Homeless, the "moral crime" of letting housing resources go unused. Jobs, education, health care, and equal rights are also target concerns.

Full textAbstract:
In July 2010, the government of Honduras requested VCOM assistance with a widespread Dengue Outbreak. At the time of the mission trip, over 33,000 Hondurans had been hospitalized for Dengue Fever and a National State of Emergency declared. VCOM sent a team of medical students, faculty and volunteers to answer the call for help. The Honduran government selected five villages where the need for medical attention was greatest. The team provided medical exams, treatment or referral when necessary to approximately 200 patients in each of the five villages. General medical exams were provided in addition to screenings for Dengue Fever and subsequent supportive treatment including oral rehydration salts, Tylenol, vitamins and treatment of complications. National and local strategic partnerships to provide emergency medical response services included the Minister of Health, Minister of Defense, Minister of Transportation and Housing and office of the President of Honduras; Deans of the National and Catholic Medical Schools; President of the Board of Medicine and other governmental and non-governmental offices; Mayors and local officials, and often local media. At Marcala, the Minister of Public Transportation and Housing arrived by Helicopter from Tegucigalpa to greet the VCOM team and patients at the clinic; and at Santa Maria del Real, the Honduran President's son met the team personally. The Honduran support for VCOM's ongoing continuity of health and improved medical care efforts in the country was evident. The trip enhanced the skills and knowledge of participating students and faculty. Student Jenie Sales writes, “I not only enhanced my own clinical experience and knowledge, but I obtained a greater understanding for the people and culture of Honduras.” Student opportunities for reflective learning included case study writing, surveys and evaluations. The successful experience will lead to increased knowledge in the care of patients during a Dengue outbreak.

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on understanding the place for regenerative building standards within the context of politically green Nordic social welfare states. To this end, it examines the particular case of adopting the Living Building Challenge (LBC), an iconic example of regenerative design standard, in Sweden. An extensive document analysis comparing the Swedish building and planning regulations as well as the Miljöbyggnad national certification system with the LBC, shows overlaps and barriers the standard can face when adopted in the country. Barriers are validated and further discussed in interviews with one of the few architects trying to achieve a certified LBC building in Sweden and Swedish public authorities from the Boverket (Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning). Results from the document analysis and interviews show barriers to implement the LBC in Sweden are a product of a conscious political and ideological decision from the welfare state which considers infrastructure, and all its potential sustainable versions, a public good to be provided to all and funded by all. This premise contrasts with the self-sufficient approach promoted by the LBC, which in this particular aspect, can be interpreted as a threat to the welfare state.

The court-ordered desegregation of the nation's schools, moreover, inspired subsequent lawsuits by African Americans aimed variously at ending racial distinctions in housing, employment, and voting rights. Litigation to enforce theBrowndecision and similar mandates brought slow but steady progress and inspired members of various other minorities to appropriate the rhetoric, organizing methods, and legal strategy of the African American civil rights struggle.

Full textAbstract:
Accessible primary healthcare is important to national healthcare in general and for older persons in particular, in societies where the population is ageing rapidly, as in Singapore. However, although much policy and research efforts have been put into this area, we hardly find any spatial perspective to assess the accessibility of these primary healthcare services. This paper analyzes the geographical accessibility of one major healthcare service in Singapore, namely, General Practitioners (GPs) services under the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) for older persons. A Python script was developed to filter the website data of the Housing Development Board (HDB) of Singapore. The data derived was comprehensively analyzed by an Enhanced 2-Step Floating Catchment Area (E2SFCA) method based on a Gaussian distance-decay function and the GIS technique. This enabled the identification of areas with relatively weak geographical accessibility of CHAS-GPs. The findings are discussed along with suggestions for health practitioners, service planners and policy makers. Despite its initial nature, this study has demonstrated the value of innovative approaches in data collection and processing for the elderly-related studies, and contributed to the field of healthcare services optimization and possibly to other human services.

- Can we today use symbolism to govern a city whose localities can no longer be distinguished? The city has become polycentric and needs symbols to make its decentred landmarks recognisable once again. Zoning was completed some time ago (at least on paper, and certainly not in the minds of local and national administrators), but it is still not altogether clear what is meant by upgrading of the run-down suburbs. Are these notions that await concretisation in laws from which quality architecture will then flow? Or, rather, should the plan go back to being informed primarily by a design which has yet to be regulated by law? These days it seems like community services are redesigning the city in the likeness of a printed circuit board. Indeed, development of the entire area is fuelled by responses to demands for better transport, communications, goods, housing, jobs and leisure facilities, or at least this is how it appears to those who believe in this contemporary paradigm. However, men and women do not identify with public services. They simply use them. Let us therefore avoid the temptation to turn a means into an end.

The 43<sup>rd</sup> Congress of the Spanish Association of Cuniculture (ASESCU) was held in Calamocha (Teruel province, Aragon region, Spain) from 30th to 31st May 2018, hosted by the Cooperative Society “Esperanza del Jiloca” (CEJI) and the City Council of Calamocha. The three main talks focused on strategies against antibiotic resistance in rabbit farming: one explaining the relevance of this problem and the responsibility of each agent to improve it, another expounding the “Spanish National Plan against Antibiotic Resistance”, and the third showing the first milestones reached in reducing antibiotic use on rabbit farms. Specific sessions were devoted to explaining the outcomes of the three research projects supported by the partnership between the Spanish Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA) and the Rabbit Meat Marketing Board (INTERCUN): one related to welfare and health of rabbit does under different housing systems, the second devoted to the prevention and control of rabbit viral diseases, and the third investigating the etiopathogeny and control of epizootic rabbit enteropathy. In addition, the role and operation of INTERCUN was highlighted. The Chair of ASESCU spoke about this association’s role in the IDCURA project, a working group focused on innovation and divulgation in reducing antibiotic use in rabbit farming. The closing speech explained the workings of LONCUN, the latest reference market for benchmark prices of rabbit meat activated in Spain. Moreover, a total of 20 communications were presented both in working sessions with oral messages and posters (nutrition, pathology, biosecurity and sustainability, housing and welfare, and reproduction and genetics). The meeting was attended by more than 210 participants from several European, American and African countries. Abstracts of the contributions presented are reported below.

Abstract A scalable, compact oven testbed system for simultaneously evaluating a multitude of high temperature integrated circuits (ICs) for prolonged operating times of up to 600 °C has been prototyped. The new testbed system enables long-duration high temperature testing in sufficient statistical quantities consistent with standard aerospace electronics engineering standards. This setup is comprised of multiple compact ovens housing chips or packages mounted to ceramic circuit boards. Each oven is a compact 15.2 cm length by 15.2 cm width by 12.7 cm depth with a maximum 400 Watts of heating power. The custom-made silicon oxide ceramic heating block inside each oven is based on a 3D printed design adapted for the easy insertion of the IC device under test (DUT). This innovative design provides the quick insertion of ICs with or without a ceramic package into a 600 °C environment by utilizing a movable 11.43 cm long ceramic substrate with electrical traces extending from the oven hot zone to external standard plastic-based board connectors. Another key oven design feature is the minimization of the DUT exposure to electromagnetic interference (EMI) by utilizing a filtered DC power source to reduce heating element noise. Additionally, the ovens can be configured in a parallel arrangement allowing global data monitoring over a single industrial RS422 serial port. This feature is important for scaling up to test multiple ICs semi-simultaneously. A USB serial port is provided to independently control the operating parameters of each oven such as the oven target temperature and oven ramp rate. The oven temperature can reach up to 600 °C with a confirmed +/− 4 °C maximum deviation across the test zone region. The ramp rate can be programmed from 1 °C/minute up to 10 °C/minute. Furthermore, a programmable switchboard is used to interface with the DUT. This switchboard comprises a National Instruments Peripheral Component Interconnect eXtension for Instrumentation (NI PXI) system and a breakout board to send and receive power, analog or digital test signals. By using this unique oven testbed system, a variety of ICs can now be tested in parallel using the same test components configured for a diverse set of requirements.

Background and purposeThe objective of this study was to estimate the level of health outcomes and resource use at a hospital level during the first year after a stroke, and to identify any potential differences between hospitals after adjusting for patient characteristics (case mix).MethodData from several registries were linked on individual level: seven regional patient administrative systems, Swedish Stroke Register, Statistics Sweden, National Board of Health and Welfare and Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The study population consisted of 14 125 patients presenting with a stroke during 2010. Case-mix adjusted analysis of hospital differences was made on five aspects of health outcomes and resource use, 1 year post-stroke.ResultsThe results indicated that 26% of patients had died within a year of their stroke. Among those who survived, almost 5% had a recurrent stroke and 40% were left with a disability. On average, the patients had 22 inpatient days and 23 outpatient visits, and 13% had moved into special housing. There were significant variations between hospitals in levels of health outcomes achieved and resources used after adjusting for case mix.ConclusionDifferences in health outcomes and resource use between hospitals were substantial and not entirely explained by differences in patient mix, indicating tendencies of unequal stroke care in Sweden. Healthcare organisation of regions and other structural features could potentially explain parts of the differences identified.

A study of aspects of the use of smart technologies in construction. This technology originated in the IT industry with the advent of digital devices. Until now, this technology has been invested primarily in the concept of "smart home" with digital control technologies. Then smart technologies spread to the technology of energy-efficient housing and its maintenance. Today, this technology also includes technologies of ecological and energy-saving construction, i.e. smart technologies for the construction of, first of all, modular. Thus, smart technology in construction in any sense means the organization of "smart", i.e. healthy, economical, safe and comfortable human housing at all stages of its life cycle. The surge in interest in "smart" homes and technology is a consequence of the global "digitalization" of human life. In 2017, Ukraine adopted the Law “On Energy Efficiency of Buildings”, which defines the legal, socio-economic and organizational principles of activities in the field of energy efficiency of buildings and aims to reduce energy consumption in buildings. This law defines the basic principles of state policy of Ukraine in this area, namely: ensuring the appropriate level of energy efficiency of buildings in accordance with technical regulations, national standards, norms and rules; stimulating the reduction of energy consumption in buildings; ensuring the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere; creating conditions for attracting investments in order to implement measures to ensure increase the energy efficiency of buildings; ensuring thermal modernization of buildings, stimulating the use of renewable energy sources; development and implementation of a national plan to increase the number of buildings with close to zero energy consumption. The article considers five areas of implementation of these requirements - energy independence, environmental friendliness, comfort, economy and safety.
Most effectively, in terms of minimizing the components of the technological process, and the cost-effectiveness of the implemented project, these principles can be implemented using materials and technologies that can integrate these requirements in one complex. When implementing the requirements laid down in the above four areas when using smart technologies in construction as a material that combines these areas, it is possible to provide products based on basalt fiber-rigid and semi-rigid thermal insulation boards, mats, harnesses and other materials. These materials can be used in the development of part of the requirements of the fifth direction - security. They are implemented in the development of environmental safety of housing, fire resistance of the building, biological safety of the material, indoor air quality and other aspects of smart technologies.

Abstract Although recruiting persons with dementia into research is challenging enough, finding those who live-alone in the community is even more difficult. Consequently, live-alone persons with dementia are often overlooked and/or deliberately excluded from inquiry despite calls for more inclusive approaches to dementia research. Based on enrollment strategies from an interview-based protocol recruiting 120 live-alone persons with dementia, our National Institute on Aging- funded study identified five domains of gatekeepers imperative to gaining access to community-dwelling, live-alone persons with dementia: 1) housing (e.g., service coordinators), 2) data proprietors (e.g., regulatory specialists), 3) institutional (e.g., review boards), 4) kin (including fictive kin), 5) clinical (e.g., medical providers, clinician practices). In addition, gatekeeper domains are multilayered and serve distinct roles in both facilitating and hindering access to and enrollment of this under-researched vulnerable population. Analysis of our recruitment efforts contribute significant insights into how the dementia research community may engage the various domains of community gatekeepers, providing direction for current and future social science research.

Background and Purpose: Understanding factors which affect the level of family well-being is important as it contributes to effective decision making among the policymakers to improve the family lives as well as to strengthen the family institution. Accordingly, this line of research is gaining attention. This study develops an ordinal regression model which identifies demographic, economic and social factors that are significant in explaining the status of family well-being.
Methodology: Data involving 2,808 respondents from a nationwide survey conducted by the National Population and Family Development Board of Malaysia in 2011 were used in this study. Ordinal regression model was implemented to describe the three levels of family well-being.
Findings: The national survey reported that high level of family well-being was experienced by 76.3 per cent of the respondents, followed by moderate (18.4%) and low (5.3%). The fitted ordinal regression model found that ethnic background, family relationship, community relationship, health and safety levels, economic situation of the family, religious practice, housing, and environment are significantly related to family well-being. Meanwhile, it was found that the level of income is not a significant factor in determining the level of family well-being.
Contributions: There are a limited number of studies on the application of ordinal regression for modelling the level of family well-being, particularly with covariates involving the demographic and social characteristics of the respondents. This study fills in the gap in the literature where the ordinal regression model provides useful information for policymakers to enhance the status of family well-being in Malaysia via various policy initiatives.

ResumenEl presente artículo analiza, mediante el enfoque de la Histoire Croisée, cómo el Instituto Nacional de Vivienda y Urbanismo (INVU) se insertó en las redes transnacionales de planificación urbana, como estrategia para formar técnicamente a sus funcionarios, obtener recursos financieros y contar con el respaldo de asesores internacionales que le dieran asidero a sus proyectos urbanos dentro del Gran Área Metropolitana. El planteamiento metodológico consistió en analizar, utilizando las actas de la Junta Directiva del INVU, la interacción entre sus miembros, los arquitectos costarricenses y especialistas internacionales que resultó en la resistencia, el cambio o la aceptación de las teorías y modelos que conformaron los antecedentes históricos de las “buenas prácticas” de la planificación urbana en Costa Rica. Los resultados del análisis señalaron que la asistencia constante del INVU a congresos y seminarios internacionales, le permitieron ser un agente activo en la formulación de esas buenas prácticas a nivel continental. Además, por medio de su programa de becas, el INVU obtuvo profesionales capacitados para sus proyectos, formados primordialmente en el Centro Interamericano de Vivienda (CINVA) de Bogotá, que fue uno de los principales centros de difusión de los Congresos Internacionales de Arquitectura Moderna (CIAM) en Latinoamérica. Finalmente, el análisis del caso de la Unidad Vecinal de Hatillo Nº2, detalla cómo los actores involucrados basan la elección de las “buenas prácticas” en concordancia al conocimiento del contexto nacional y el costo que estas tienen a nivel político.Palabras clave: Historia; Planificación urbana; Difusión de conocimientos; Cooperación internacional; Costa Rica Circulation of Urban Knowledge and INVU’s Transnational Networks, 1954-1970 AbstractThis article analyses, through the Histoire Croisée (Entangled History) approach, how the Costa Rican National Institute of Housing and Urbanism (INVU in its Spanish acronym) set into transnational urban planning networks, as a strategy to obtain not only financial resources for its urban projects in the Grand Metropolitan Area, but also support from international urban planning specialists and national technicians. The methodology is based on the analysis of the INVU’s Management Board Minutes, emphasizing on its member interactions with national and international urban planners, which resulted in association, acceptance, and/or opposition of urban models or theories that made possible the historical background of “good practices” in Costa Rica. The results of this investigation, suggest that the INVU, due to its participation in several international congresses and seminars, actively helped to shape and create those “good practices”. Furthermore, through its scholarship programs, the INVU obtained skillful professionals for its projects, mainly trained at the Interamerican Household Centre (Centro Interamericano de Vivienda CINVA) in Bogotá, Colombia, which was one of the most important institutions to promulgate International Congresses of Modern Architecture (CIAM) in Latin American. Finally, the case study of the Neighborhood Unit of Hatillo Nº2, details how the involved planners choose their “good practices” in concordance to the national context and its political cost.Key words: History; Urban planning; Dissemination of knowledge; International cooperation; Costa Rica.

ABSTRACT Marine risk assessments are underway for two operating areas of Alaska: one focuses on the most populated region of Alaska and the other on a much more remote area. Both assessments involve a combination of technical analysis and input based on the values and experiences of diverse stakeholders. Collectively, they represent the first implementation of a multi-stakeholder risk assessment process recommended in 2008 by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the U.S. National Academies. The Aleutian Islands Risk Assessment (AIRA) has been underway since 2009, with a total budget of $3 million from the 2004 M/V Selendang Ayu grounding and oil spill settlement funds. A similar, though smaller, risk assessment was initiated for Cook Inlet in 2011. The Cook Inlet Risk Assessment (CIRA) has a total budget of $900,000. Both assessments seek to identify and evaluate risk reduction options to minimize the risk of oil spills from vessels of 300 GT or larger, or those with at least 10,000 gallons of fuel capacity. Both projects are being conducted under the guidance of a small Management Team. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Coast Guard sit on both Management Teams. The other Management Team members represent the additional relevant funding agencies: for Cook Inlet, this is the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (managing part of the funding for this project) and for the Aleutian Islands this is the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (managing the funds for this project). For each project, there is also a larger Advisory Panel, comprised of representatives of diverse and critical interests in each region, including the shipping and fisheries industries, local government, state and federal agencies, and environmental organizations. Advisory Panel members are selected by the Management team based on their local knowledge, expertise and understanding of the risk posed by the maritime transportation industry. Opportunities for public comment and engagement are provided, along with websites housing all project documents. There is also a Peer Review Panel for the AIRA project. Though the AIRA and CIRA are still underway, this paper provides an update on the wide ranging risk reduction options being considered, the types of technical analyses done and, how these analyses have informed project direction and decision-making, and preliminary observations related to the approaches used.

Abstract Many nations are struggling with the design, implementation, and ongoing improvement of health care systems to meet the needs of their citizens. In the United Arab Emirates, a small nation with vast wealth, the lives of average citizens have evolved from a harsh, nomadic existence to enjoyment of the comforts of modern life. Substantial progress has been made in the provision of education, housing, health, employment, and other forms of social advancement. Having covered these basic needs, the government of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is responding to the challenge of developing a comprehensive health system to serve the needs of its citizens, including restructuring the nation's graduate medical education (GME) system. We describe how Abu Dhabi is establishing GME policies and infrastructure to develop and support a comprehensive health care system, while also being responsive to population health needs. We review recent progress in developing a systematic approach for developing GME infrastructure in this small emirate, and discuss how the process of designing a GME system to meet the needs of Emirati citizens has benefited from the experience of “Western” nations. We also examine the challenges we encountered in this process and the solutions adopted, adapted, or specifically developed to meet local needs. We conclude by highlighting how our experience “at the GME drawing board” reflects the challenges encountered by scholars, administrators, and policymakers in nations around the world as they seek to coordinate health care and GME resources to ensure care for populations.

Regarding the National Housing Policy in Brazil, this paper aims to identify how institutional capacities vary into municipalities, and if this variation is related to housing deficit rates. Specific literature explains that the supply of housing services depends on the existence of agencies and resources to plan and execute public policies. This paper tests the hypothesis that there is a negative correlation between the level of institutional development and housing deficit – so that higher institutional development implies lower rates of housing deficit. An institutional development index (IDI) was created, based on the existence (or not) of Municipal Housing Fund and Municipal Housing Council. The research design combined the methods of principal component analysis, ANOVA and a regression model of ordinary least squares (OLS). Using descriptive and multivariate analysis, the main finding was that higher institutional development is associated with lower housing deficit rates in most of Brazilian municipalities.

Abstract Background: Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are genetically and hematologically diverse stem cell malignancies pathogenetically linked to constitutive innate immune activation. Other than rare germline mutations and age, the only known predispositions to adult MDS include prior cytotoxic therapy, clonal hematopoiesis, and autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disorders. Few studies investigating the genetic susceptibility to MDS have been performed owing to the limitations of SNP-array sample size. Here, we report the results from the first unbiased genome wide analysis of germline polymorphisms associated with non-del(5q) MDS using a multinational curated data set. Methods: Association analyses were performed on 2 sample sets (set 1: 555 cases, 2,964 controls; set 2: 352 cases, 2,640 controls) and combined by meta-analysis. Standard SNP- and sample-level QC was applied. Haplotype reference consortium (HRC) imputation was done by the Michigan imputation server (Rsq>0.4) providing 23,278,269 markers for analysis. Gene expression sequencing was performed on an independent sample set from the National Taiwan University Hospital (213 MDS cases, 20 healthy donors; HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip; Chuang et al. Leukemia 2015). Functional analyses were performed as described. Results: Eight MDS associated loci were identified with lead variants, rs6683416, rs34539210, rs341274, rs1634783, rs7099032, rs2947170, rs4404050, and rs1206818, at 1q31.1 (PLA2G4A), 3p14.1 (FAM19A4), 5q21.3 (EFNA5), 6p21.33, 10q23.1 (GRID1), 12q24.32, 15q26.1, and 20q13.12 (EYA2), respctively. Odds ratio (OR) and p-values of each are listed in Table 1. Using gene expression profiling in an independent MDS sample set, we found expression of these five candidate genes was significantly increased in MDS vs controls (p<0.01). Using the same independent sample set, we found higher PLA2G4A and lower EYA2 expression were associated with reduced overall survival (p=0.039 and p=0.037, respectively). Importantly, EYA2 was an independently favorable risk factor irrespective of age, gender and IPSS-R (RR, 0.665; p=0.048). High PLA2G4A expression was associated with NRAS (p<0.001), RUNX1 (p=0.012), ASXL1 (p=0.007), and EZH2 (p=0.038) somatic mutations whereas higher FAM19A4 expression associated with KRAS mutations (p=0.045). Importantly, PLA2G4A, FAM19A4, GRID1, and EYA2 are involved in the regulation of innate immune signaling. We previously reported that across all somatic gene mutation classes, MDS cases biologically converge upon the redox-sensitive, Nlrp3 inflammasome to drive pyroptosis, a caspase-1 mediated innate immune cell death (Basiorka et al. Blood 2016). PLA2G4A encodes phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that inhibits inflammasome activation. Further, PLA2 is required for MAPK phosphorylation of S100A9, a key danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP) and TLR4 ligand implicated in the induction of pyroptosis in MDS progenitors. FAM19A4 encodes a cytokine whose expression is upregulated in response to endotoxin exposure suggesting a role in immune modulation. EYA members activate innate immune response in part through recognition of cytosolic double-stranded DNA, which can serve as a DAMP triggering inflammasome assembly. To investigate the possible role of EYA2 in inflammasome activation in MDS, we overexpressed EYA2 in the monocytic cell line, THP1. EYA2 overexpression induced caspase-1 and maturation of IL-1β, indicating inflammasome activation. These findings were accompanied by NFκB phosphorylation consistent with innate immune signal priming. We next treated MDS primary bone marrow specimens (n=3) with the EYA2 inhibitor, MLS000544460, demonstrating a significant, dose-dependent improvement in colony recovery consistent with restoration of effective hematopoiesis. Conclusion: We describe here the first MDS susceptibility loci ever identified the majority of which have a direct relationship to innate immune activation, a driver of MDS pathogenesis. Expression of genes housing these loci is increased in MDS with demonstrable prognostic and biological relevance. Further, functional studies implicate EYA2 as a novel, biologically rational target for MDS treatment. The direct functions of each polymorphism as well as the potential relationship between these predisposition loci to age-related clonal hematopoiesis merits further investigation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of implementation efficiency of the housing policy in Russia as the mostimportant direction of the state economic policy. It is noted that all countries rec-ognize the importance of housingsecurity for the health of the nation and economic growth. The studies have shown that problems of housingdevelopment, including the availability and ade-quacy of housing are among the national priorities in the stateeconomic policy and are imple-mented throughout a system of strategic documents and national projects thatdefine goals, ob-jectives, directions and target indicators of the state housing policy. The article shows a system oftarget indicators for the development of the housing sector, which allow us to assess the effec-tiveness of housingpolicy in Russia. The most important indicators are the volume of housing construction and the average housingavailability. Based on the official statistical data of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) and the Bankof Russia, the analysis of the dynamics of housing construction development is carried out and the main trendsin housing construction were identified, such as: increased spatial heterogeneity in the distribution of housinginvest-ments, a decrease in the volume of housing construction, an increase in demand for new housing, anda deterioration in the typological structure of built housing. The article shows the impact of project financing and thereduction of mortgage rates on the housing construction dynamics. Us-ing methods of correlation-regression andfactor analysis, as well as scenario approach a forecast of achievability of the target indicators for the developmentof the housing sector in Russia is made. It is concluded that it is essential to adjust the strategic target indicatorsof housing con-struction as well as the state housing policy. Measures to improve availability and adequacy ofhousing for the Russian population are proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Background Although smoking prevalence remains strikingly high in homeless populations (~70% and three times the US national average), smoking cessation studies usually exclude homeless persons. Novel evidence-based interventions are needed for this high-risk subpopulation of smokers. Purpose To describe the aims and design of a first-ever smoking cessation clinical trial in the homeless population. The study was a two-group randomized community-based trial that enrolled participants ( n = 430) residing across eight homeless shelters and transitional housing units in Minnesota. The study objective was to test the efficacy of motivational interviewing (MI) for enhancing adherence to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; nicotine patch) and smoking cessation outcomes. Methods Participants were randomized to one of the two groups: active (8 weeks of NRT + 6 sessions of MI) or control (NRT + standard care). Participants attended six in-person assessment sessions and eight retention visits at a location of their choice over 6 months. Nicotine patch in 2-week doses was administered at four visits over the first 8 weeks of the 26-week trial. The primary outcome was cotinine-verified 7-day point-prevalence abstinence at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included adherence to nicotine patch assessed through direct observation and patch counts. Other outcomes included the mediating and/or moderating effects of comorbid psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. Results Lessons learned from the community-based cessation randomized trial for improving recruitment and retention in a mobile and vulnerable population included: (1) the importance of engaging the perspectives of shelter leadership by forming and convening a Community Advisory Board; (2) locating the study at the shelters for more visibility and easier access for participants; (3) minimizing exclusion criteria to allow enrollment of participants with stable psychiatric comorbid conditions; (4) delaying the baseline visit from the eligibility visit by a week to protect against attrition; and (5) regular and persistent calls to remind participants of upcoming appointments using cell phones and shelter-specific channels of communication. Limitations The study’s limitations include generalizability due to the sample drawn from a single Midwestern city in the United States. Since inclusion criteria encompassed willingness to use NRT patch, all participants were motivated and were ready to quit smoking at the time of enrollment in the study. Findings from the self-select group will be generalizable only to those motivated and ready to quit smoking. High incentives may limit the degree to which the intervention is replicable. Conclusions Lessons learned reflect the need to engage communities in the design and implementation of community-based clinical trials with vulnerable populations.

Abstract Introduction This paper focuses on the risks associated with the rapid development of aviation as well as the rapid growth of high-rise or large capacity buildings. The aim of the work is to further evaluate the incidence of building strikes involving aircraft. With this scenario, a burn injury is the most common for survivors. This paper will examine the nature and frequency of these events. Knowing the risks can aid the planning effort for all involved with a role in the response to a mass casualty incident. Methods The researchers reviewed historical records involving airplane crashes into large occupied buildings. This review included databases searched such as PubMed as well as commonly used search engines; Google and Bing. Inclusion criteria for buildings included those either considered mid-rise or high-rise (typically considered taller than 33 meters [108 feet]) or a large footprint (defined as 5000 square meters [54820 square feet]). Furthermore, the buildings had to be occupied. The airplanes included civilian (commercial) and military aircraft. The literature reviewed included historical accounts and historical references from a variety of news archival services that were chronicled in articles published and indexed in the PubMed search engine or found in common historical databases. The search also included the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports. Results Once the descriptive data were collected, the information was analyzed for similarities and trended where applicable. A total of 19 of the aircraft impacts were analyzed for this work. While death tolls were included in the results collected, the work aimed to identify the number of injured patients, and where possible, further identify those with burn injuries. All of the crashes also included the distance to the closest metro area (typically where a burn center was or should be located.) It should be noted that all of the buildings impacted were located within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of an airport with many of them occurring on or adjacent to airport property. Conclusions It is reasonable to presume that commercial or military aircraft that impact large occupied buildings such as a commercial complex, high-rise housing or an office building will produce disastrous consequences. This scenario includes significant casualties and loss of life. Findings from this research can offer insights from actual occurrences to disaster planners and emergency managers. Applicability of Research to Practice Mass casualty planning for burn centers should include the potential impact by aircraft and either large or high rise buildings. The size of the incident could be significant and the potential for the occurrence should not be overlooked.

Abstract A single-center trial of CD19 directed, lentiviral transduced chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CTL019) for relapsed and refractory (r/r) B-ALL pediatric patients showed rates of CR >90% with prolonged CAR T cell persistence/CR without further therapy in the majority of patients infused (Maude NEJM 2014). We report here the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the first multicenter global pivotal registration CAR T cell trial. Features of this trial include: i) the first trial in which industry-manufactured cells were provided to all patients; ii) enrollment across 25 centers in the US, EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan; iii) successful transfer and manufacturing of cells in a global supply chain; and iv) successful implementation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) management across a global trial. All patients had CD19 positive B-ALL with morphologic marrow tumor involvement at registration (>5% blasts), and were either primary refractory; chemo-refractory after first relapse, relapsed after second line therapy; or ineligible for allogeneic SCT. CTL019 was manufactured from patient PBMC under GMP conditions in the US, at a centralized "sponsor-owned" manufacturing facility, and supplied to all sites. The primary endpoint of overall remission rate (CR+CRi) within 3 months and secondary endpoints (EFS, DOR, OS and safety) were assessed by an independent review committee. Based on preliminary data as of March 2016, 57 patients were enrolled. There were 3 manufacturing failures (5%), 5 patients were not infused due to death or adverse events (9%), and 15 patients were pending infusion at the data cut off. Following fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepleting chemotherapy in the majority of the patients, 34 patients (median age 11 [3-23], 50% with prior HSCT) were infused with a single dose of CTL019 at a median dose of 2.9 x106 transduced CTL019 cells/kg (0.2 to 4). Among 29 patients reaching D28 prior to the data cutoff, 83% (24/29) achieved CR or CRi by local investigator assessment, all of which were MRD-negative. Two early deaths occurred prior to initial disease assessment, one due to disease progression and one due to intracranial hemorrhage. Two patients did not respond. One patient was in CR by BM at D28, but CSF was not assessed, therefore this patient was classified as "incomplete" assessment. Safety was managed by a protocol-specified CRS algorithm with no cases of refractory CRS. Using the Penn CRS grading scale, 82% of patients experienced CRS, with 7 grade 3 (21%) and 8 grade 4 (24%) events. 44% patients with CRS required anti-cytokine therapy; all received tocilizumab with or without other anti-cytokine therapy, with complete resolution of CRS. Besides CRS, the most common grade 3 and 4 non-hematologic AEs were febrile neutropenia (29%), increased bilirubin (21%), increased AST (21%), and hypotension (21%). 21% of patients experienced grade 3 or 4 neuropsychiatric events including confusion, delirium, encephalopathy, agitation and seizure; no cerebral edema was reported. CTL019 in vivo cellular kinetics by qPCR demonstrated transgene persistence in blood in responding patients at and beyond 6 months. Overall exposure (AUC 0-28d) and maximal expansion (Cmax) of CTL019 DNA measured by qPCR was higher in responding compared with non-responding patients. In summary, this pivotal global study in pediatric and young adult patients with r/r B-ALL receiving CTL019, confirms a high level of efficacy and a similar safety profile to that shown in the prior single center experience. Safety was effectively and reproducibly managed by appropriately trained investigators. The study has completed accrual. At the meeting, updated data from a planned formal interim analysis including safety, efficacy (primary and selected secondary endpoints), cellular kinetics, and impact of anti-cytokine therapy will be presented for more than 50 patients infused at 25 global sites.

National projects adopted at the end of 2018 have an important impact on the development of Russian society and the economy, forming goals and targets, quantitative indicators of development. This should be taken into account when adopting new laws, but national projects should also be expanded and adjusted to take into account changes in the world and Russia, modern legislative initiatives.
