Abstract Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of antimicrobial-resistant opportunistic infections in hospitalized patients. Due to acquired resistance to multiple antimicrobials, K. pneumoniae is a particular threat in health care. The aim of this study was the assessment of the epidemiological situation related to the spread of symptomatic infections and colonization caused by K. pneumoniae New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) in the Mazovian Voivodeship in 2016–2017. Materials and Methods The study included data collected between 2016 and 2017 from 168 hospitals located in and outside of Warsaw but limited to the Mazovian Voivodeship. Data was extracted from reports on suspected epidemic outbreaks and the elimination of outbreaks as well as annual reports on nosocomial infections and alarm pathogens. Results The incidence of infections caused by K. pneumoniae NDM (symptomatic and asymptomatic) was 0.96/1,000 hospitalizations in 2016 and 2.04/1,000 hospitalizations in 2017. In 2016, hospitals in the Mazovian Voivodeship reported 50 transmissions of K. pneumoniae NDM. In 2017, this value increased to 74. The risk of symptomatic infection was higher in hospitals outside of Warsaw than in hospitals in Warsaw, while risk of colonization was higher in hospitals in Warsaw. Conclusions The epidemiological situation related to infections and colonization caused by K. pneumoniae NDM in the Mazovian Voivodeship is disadvantageous, which implies the necessity to monitor anti-epidemic measures. The epidemic situation in hospitals outside of Warsaw seems to be worse compared to hospitals in Warsaw, which have higher risks of symptomatic infection caused by K. pneumoniae NDM.

Abstract Manufacturing companies operating within the high-technology sector are of interest to science, industry and national authorities because of the special economic importance attached to them. However, in order to investigate the condition of those companies, support their growth and monitor the effects of the aid awarded to them, it is first necessary to properly identify the business entities belonging to that sector. To identify the entities belonging to the high-technology industry, it is necessary to perform a sequence of activities which form the procedural algorithm. Usefulness of the algorithm has been verified using the example of a group of Warsaw high-tech companies which were subject to investigation under the European project Warsaw Entrepreneurship Forum. The algorithm could be used as the basis for the implementation of an IT tool for the identification and description of high-tech businesses.

Abstract The power output of plasma experiments and fusion reactors is a crucial parameter. It is determined by neutron yields that are proportional and directly related to the fusion yield. The number of emitted neutrons should be known for safety reasons and for neutron budget management. The PF-1000 is the large plasma facility based on the plasma focus phenomenon. PF-1000 is operating in the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion in Warsaw. Neutron yield changes during subsequent pulses, which is immanent part of this type device and so it must be monitored in terms of neutron emission. The reference diagnostic intended for this purpose is the silver activation counter (SAC) used for many years. Our previous studies demonstrated the applicability of radio-yttrium for neutron yield measurements during the deuterium campaign on the PF-1000 facility. The obtained results were compared with data from silver activation counter and shown linear dependence but with some protuberances in local scale. Correlation between results for both neutron monitors was maintained. But the yttrium monitor registered the fast energy neutron that reached measurement apparatus directly from the plasma pinch. Based on the preliminary experiences, the yttrium monitor was designed to automatically register neutron-induced yttrium activity. The MCNP geometrical model of PF-1000 and yttrium monitor were both used for calculation of the activation coefficient for yttrium. The yttrium monitor has been established as the permanent diagnostic for monitoring fusion reactions in the PF-1000 device.

Background: While homelessness and problem gambling are both recognised as social and public health concerns and the prevalence of addictive disorders among homeless populations tends to be high. These questions have been studied predominantly independently. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the co-occurrence of the two phenomena among the homeless population using shelters and night shelters in Warsaw, and, more specifically, to provide information about the forms and frequency of gambling in this homeless population. Method: Homeless persons ( N = 690) were interviewed in rehabilitation-shelters ( n = 17) and night-shelters ( n = 2) in Warsaw from November 2015 until January 2016. The core component of the questionnaire was a screening test (Problem Gambling Severity Index). In addition, data regarding the intensity of gambling and various types of games or settings were collected. Results: The prevalence of problem gambling in this population of homeless people was 11.3%, whereas the prevalence of problem gambling in the general population in Poland is much lower (0.7%). Similarly to the general population, the most prevalent gambling games in the homeless population were lotteries; however, homeless people gambled in lotteries almost three times more often compared to the general population. Conclusions: This is the first study examining the prevalence of problem gambling in the homeless population in Poland. The findings of the study suggest that problem gambling among the homeless is a significant social and public health concern. High rates of problem gambling in the homeless population show the need to identify and monitor this problem in shelters and consequently to provide easier access to gambling treatment or prevention programmes.

This paper is a description of the state of the art technical equipment procured during the execution of the project ‟Innovative solutions for stabilizing building and engineering structures as a rescue response during structural collapse recoveryˮ. The project is financed by the National Centre for Research with an execution frame of 2015 to 2017, and carried out by the consortium of the Main School of Fire Service in Warsaw, The Fire Service College of the State Fire Service in Kraków, the Scientific and Research Centre for Fire Protection – National Research Institute and CMGI Sp. z o.o. The technical specifications are presented for an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) built on commission for the Main School of Fire Service; the UAV can be used to monitor rescue mission operations at the sites of collapsed building.

Modern measurement technologies are commonly applied not only to monitor Cultural Heritage objects; they are also applied during archaeological excavation works, when it is important to quickly perform measurements. The paper presents multitemporal integration of different image-based (UAV, close-range digital images) and range-based technologies (Terrestrial Laser Scanning), as well as data acquired in different periods, during archaeological works performed at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, especially for the Justice Court Tower. Measurements were performed in several periods, during deep archaeological excavation works. Due to the limited access to excavations different measurement technologies were applied which allowed to perform measurements within short time. As a results, the DSM (Digital Surface Model). the point cloud and orthoimages were generated. All of the products were stored in the GIS system which will be used for the needs of archaeological and architectural analyses.

Abstract The study is aimed at evaluation of the effect of regular physical activity on total and subcutaneous body fat and its distribution in boys aged 10 to 16 years. A three-year longitudinal study was carried out in order to monitor physical development in 237 boys from sports schools and regular schools in Warsaw, Poland. The boys were selected so that their rate of puberty changes was similar based on evaluation of voice and facial hair. The authors measured 5 skinfolds in the following sites: triceps, calf, subscapular, suprailiac, and abdominal skinfolds. The percentage fraction of total body fat in body mass was measured by means of Tanita TBF 300 electronic body composition analyser. A limb fat to trunk fat ratio (LF/TF) was also calculated in order to evaluate the type of distribution of subcutaneous fat in boys and monitor its changes as affected by regular high physical activity throughout puberty. Lower total body fat and subcutaneous fat in boys from sports schools was the effect of considerably higher physical activity. It was demonstrated that with some minimal values of total body fat and subcutaneous fat, physical activity did not cause a reduction in body fat. It was found that elevated physical activity in boys is conducive to development of a more limb-oriented (peripheral) fatness, which is more favourable to human health

Abstract Meteorological measurements, that aim to monitor weather and climate conditions to aid research in changing forest ecosystems, have been conducted in the Warsaw University of Life Sciences’ experimental forests in Rogów since 1924. Based on the long-term air temperature measurements, it can be demonstrated that in the years 1924–2015, anomalously cold months have occurred less often (ca. 3.2%) than anomalously warm months (ca. 4.5%). During the last 20 years, only two anomalously cold months were recorded (November 1998, December 2010), whereas anomalously warm months occurred frequently (May 2002, July 1999, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014, August 2002, 2015, September 1999, 2006, October 2000, 2001). We hypothesised that the more frequent anomalously warm months would constitute a trend in increasing the air temperature for particular months between 1924–2015, but surprisingly, a statistically significant trend was observed for all winter (XII–II) and spring months (III–IV) as well as the end of summer (VIII).

Abstract. Modern measurement technologies are commonly applied to monitor and preserve the cultural heritage as it is an integral part of modern societies. The Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) method is one of the common technologies investigated by the researchers for accurate data acquisition and processing required for architectural documentation. In recent years, many methods were developed for TLS data registration to improve the processing time and accuracy of the bundle adjustment. The aim of this research is to compare the existing TLS target-based registration methods and compare them with the proposed novel method based on the reliability assessment- the robustness analysis. The novel feature-based approach also includes 2D detectors, which were applied to the TLS data converted into spherical images. Measurements were carried out at the Royal Castle in Warsaw using TLS Z+F 5006H and total station Leica TCRP1202. The collected data was analysed using existing software Z+F LaserControl, LupoScan and developed the application to perform 2D + 1H / 3D registration. The main results demonstrated that the proposed method for TLS registration removed the outliers that could not be eliminated by the deviation analysis on control and check points. The accuracy of TLS registration increased with a RMSE difference between 0.1 mm and 3.7 mm in comparison to existing methods. Furthermore, the accuracy of the results from 2D detectors was improved with relative orientation RMSE ≤ 2.1 mm and equivalent for control and check points for X, Y, and Z coordinates in comparison to target-based registration.

FOR SOME YEARS NOW, WESTERN ACADEMICS AND POLICY-MAKERS HAVE embraced the cause of democratic reform in Central and Eastern Europe. To take but one well-known example, President Clinton in the 1994 State of the Union Address cited the absence of war among democracies as a reason for promotion of democracy around the world. Assistance to former Warsaw Pact and newly independent states has been made conditional to varying degrees on the acceptance of democratic change. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union, the United States Agency for International Development and associated non-governmental organizations have unleashed armies of promoters of democracy throughout the region to: observe elections; monitor human rights; draft new constitutions and laws defending civil and political rights; train judges and police personnel; and organize and assist political parties, media and non-governmental pressure groups. In short, they have sought to transplant the fabric of civil society and democratic institutions. These armies have landed on terrain often quite foreign to them and have often displayed little sensitivity to the social, economic and political context in which they are operating. This may have contributed to results other than those intended.

El Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar Qali Warma fue creado como una mejor alternativa al anterior programa, cerrado en medio del escándalo y la deslegitimación. Sin embargo, desde su implementación, Qali Warma ha sido fuente de escándalos mediáticos constantes, así como de propuestas de mejora y cambio. Esta investigación se acerca a su implementación desde los espacios de monitoreo de las escuelas, para comprender las lógicas políticas y tecnocráticas dentro del programa y analizar las tensiones producidas por ellas durante las actividades de monitoreo. También analizamos las posibilidades de acción de los monitores a través de la comparación de su trabajo en dos regiones muy diferentes de Perú: Lambayeque y Junín. Finalmente, proponemos un nuevo enfoque para pensar la implementación de programas sociales y el monitoreo en estos.

La presente sistematización plasma los diferentes aspectos del diseño, implementación y evaluación de los mecanismos de monitoreo social del Programa de Alimentación Escolar Qali Warma en el año 2013, etapa inicial de su funcionamiento. Identificar lecciones aprendidas para promover la participación ciudadana activa y proactiva, la cogestión y monitoreo de los servicios que brinda el Estado y el desarrollo humano sostenible aplicados en programas sociales. Los objetivos de sistematización fueron los siguientes: (1) Identificar lecciones aprendidas para promover la participación ciudadana activa y proactiva, la cogestión y monitoreo de los servicios que brinda el Estado y el desarrollo humano sostenible aplicados en programas sociales. (2) Identificar y analizar la metodología de gestión social y de comunicación aplicados al monitoreo social de Qali Warma. (3) Aportar al ejercicio de la especialidad de comunicación organizacional a partir de la experiencia en la práctica profesional.

El Programa Nacional de Alimentación Qali Warma (PNAEQW) fue creado en el año 2012, iniciando la prestación del servicio alimentario en el año 2013; desde entonces ha incrementado progresivamente su atención, llegando a atender a más de 3.8 millones de niños y niñas de las Instituciones Educativas Públicas en el año 2018. Ello representa un gran reto a todo nivel, que asegure la calidad del servicio alimentario que brinda el Programa incluyendo, entre otros, una adecuada supervisión y monitoreo. En este sentido, las denuncias, quejas y reclamos en contra del PNAEQW no han sido ajenos al tema, cuestionando los productos y procesos del Programa, resaltando casos de intoxicación de los niños, niñas y adolescentes usuarios, aduciendo, entre otros, una insuficiente supervisión y monitoreo de las raciones y productos brindados como parte del servicio alimentario del PNAEQW. Así, el problema público que se analiza en este proyecto de innovación es la baja calidad de la prestación del servicio alimentario que reciben niñas, niños y adolescentes del nivel inicial, primaria y secundaria de las Instituciones Educativas Públicas a nivel nacional mediante las modalidades raciones y productos, asociada a una insuficiente supervisión y monitoreo del servicio alimentario del Programa durante el año 2017; para lo cual se ha procedido con el método de recojo de información mediante solicitudes de información directas al PNAEQW, revisión de la literatura, así como la realización de entrevistas semi-estructuradas a funcionarios y ex funcionarios del Programa Social en mención, para obtener así una propuesta innovadora viable respecto a los objetivos que persigue el PNAEQW y la calidad del servicio alimentario que debe ser brindado por el mismo. Es así que se han identificado cambios innovadores viables que fortalecerían el sistema de supervisión y monitoreo de la prestación del servicio alimentario del PNAEQW, mejorando así la calidad del servicio brindado, tales como: i) Voluntariado Estudiantil para el Monitoreo y Supervisión; ii) Inclusión de padres y madres de familia en la supervisión y monitoreo; y iii) Modificación parcial de la Ficha correspondiente al Acta de supervisión de la provisión del servicio alimentario del PNAEQW.

El Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar Qali Warma brinda servicio alimentario a los niños y niñas provenientes de familias de bajos recursos económicos, que estén matriculados en instituciones educativas públicas de educación inicial y primaria. El objetivo del programa es mejorar su desempeño en las clases, la asistencia a las escuelas y los hábitos alimenticios. El Programa, como medio de alimentación y educación, debe garantizar que los niños consuman alimentos de calidad; para que sean favorables para una vida saludable y productiva. Los niños en edad escolar constituyen un grupo humano vulnerable, debido a que ellos consumen lo que los adultos les proporcionan, ingiriendo los alimentos sin tener conciencia si el alimento es beneficioso o dañino para su salud. La desnutrición infantil ha sido catalogada por UNICEF (2006) como una emergencia silenciosa: genera efectos muy dañinos que se manifiestan a lo largo de la vida de la persona, y que no se detectan de inmediato.1 Los programas de alimentación escolar se presentan como medidas para combatir la desnutrición, el ausentismo, la deserción escolar y los problemas de aprendizaje, ya que según la FAO “alimentar a un niño en la escuela significa permitir que se eduque y tenga posibilidades de salir del ciclo de la exclusión social”.2 Por otro lado, se debe indicar también que existe una “actual problemática relacionada al incremento del sobrepeso y obesidad en la población escolar”.3 Esto 1 Beltrán, Arlette y Seinfeld, Janice 2009 Desnutrición Crónica Infantil en el Perú: Un problema persistente.

El presente estudio trata sobre la calidad, distribución y monitoreo de los alimentos en el Programa Nacional de Alimentación Escolar Qali Warma. Este tiene como objetivo identificar los factores que estarían contribuyendo o limitando la calidad de los alimentos que se proporcionan a través del Programa en el distrito de Breña durante el año 2016, mediante el análisis de la información a partir de la percepción y opinión de los actores del programa, sobre la calidad de alimentos y conociendo las condiciones de almacenamiento, distribución y monitoreo de los mismos, para proponer medidas de mejora que fortalezcan la implementación del programa. Con este estudio se pretende contribuir al mejoramiento de la salud nutricional y educativa de niños beneficiarios con los alimentos que se distribuyen. Ello será por medio de la investigación de la calidad, distribución y monitoreo de los alimentos, y con ello poder saber si los niños beneficiados se están nutriendo realmente con los alimentos recibidos.
The National School Feeding Program Qali Warma offers a nutrition service to children with low resources, who are enrolled in public education institutes of kinder garden and primary. The program's aim is to improve the class assistance and food habits. The program, as a medium of nutrition and education, must guarantee that infants will consume quality food which offers them a healthy lifestyle and contribute to their productive life. Kids who are in a secular age belong to a vulnerable human group, because they consume what adults give them; therefore, they eat without conscious if their food gets profit to their health or not. According to UNICEF, infant's undernourishment has been registered as a silent emergency that will produce dangerous effects that will be shown along their lives; however, it does not detect immediately4. The feed schooler program is presented as a solution of fighting against undernourishment, absenteeism, schooler abandons and problems related to learning, because according to FAO “nourished child means that he is able to be educated and to have possibilities to get out of the cycle of social exclusion” 5. On the other hand, it is necessary to indicate that “problems related to overweight and obesity in schoolers exist nowadays” 6. It is because unhealthy food is ingested, such as, trans fats and food high levels of sugar and salt; and that will, in a medium or long term, promote a generation of diseases. For example, to suffer overweight, obesity, hypertension, ingestion problems, cavities, high levels of cholesterol, 4 Beltrán, Arlette y Seinfeld, Janice 2009 Desnutrición Crónica Infantil en el Perú: Un problema persistente.

Environmental variation was quantified at nestboxes monitored as part of a prospectively long-term project on the ecology and evolution of great tits Parus major and blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus in Warsaw, Poland. Nine axes of environmental variation were investigated across 9 different urban sites, for a total of 565 specific locations (here: nestboxes). Data was collected on the ground, with the use of GIS and remote sensing using the following methodology:...

Abstract In 1348, the Republic of Venice erected its first quarantine station at which all travelers from plague stricken ships were detained to monitor for signs of disease (Moro 1988). The term “surveillance” was introduced into English at the time of the Napoleonic wars, and in public health terms was restricted until 1949 to such monitoring of contacts of persons with serious communicable diseases (Langmuir 1971). As numerous disease surveillance systems have evolved in many cultures, various definitions have been offered for surveillance in its application to human morbidity and mortality data.

Abstract Near-infrared spectroscopy is a well-established technique that has been applied to a variety of medical diagnostic problems. Recent examples include detecting peripheral vascular disease, compartment syndrome, and various forms of cancer (Fantini et al., 1998; Zonios et al., 1999; Benaron et al., 2000; Giannotti et al., 2000; Tromberg et al., 2000; Wariar et al., 2000; Cerussi 2001). Because near-infrared light penetrates bone, near-infrared spectroscopy is also widely used for noninvasive brain imaging to monitor cortical activation, neonatal cerebral oxygenation, and hematomas (Adcock et al., 1999; Fantini et al., 1999; Benaron et al., 2000; Springett et al., 2000). The use of model-based photon migration methods to separate light absorption from scattering quantitatively in multiply scattering tissues is a type of near-infrared spectroscopy broadly referred to as diffuse optical spectroscopy or DOS. Diffuse optical spectroscopy methods can be categorized as time independent and time resolved. Time-independent, steady-state methods use a CW source. They are capable of acquiring a full wavelength-dependent spectrum of diffuse reflectance at one time, but the data cannot be resolved into their scattering and absorbing components without additional information. Research groups using this approach have employed multiple source–detector separations to provide this additional information (Farrell et al., 1992). Short (e.g., millimeter) source–detector separations are more sensitive to scattering properties, whereas far (e.g., centimeter) source–detector separations are sensitive to both scattering and absorption. This method provides fast and accurate results for homogenous systems. However, because two overlapping but different volumes are sampled, accuracy may suffer if the system is heterogenous or layered, as is commonly the case in tissue.

Chapter Six examines how the pirate has been interpellated in different jurisdictions across the copyright wars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with a particular focus on the intermediaries that were charged with enabling online copyright infringement, namely peer-to-peer networks and Internet Service Providers. The chapter charts a narrative of gradual acceptance. Whereas initial decisions interpellated peer-to-peer networks as piratical and also as locations where individuals could become interpellated as pirates, by the early twenty-first century, the courts became somewhat more understanding. Instead, they viewed intermediaries as less liable and individuals as users who engaged in copyright infringement, rather than as subjects entirely defined by their piratical actions. I also reflect on how Apple and their customers were able to avoid the pirate moniker during their Rip, Mix, Burn campaign in 2003 and consider on the potential futures of the pirate subject.

This chapter discusses a few of the numerous problems that plagued the US Army's early attempts to combat the rising tide of mental illness brought on by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Overcoming these and many others would take a near total transformation of the clinical system that organized, delivered, and monitored the care. Indeed, the Army has transformed an organized anarchy into a learning mental health care system that delivers a consistent patient-centered care experience, irrespective of hospital location. The Army has the advantage of being an integrated delivery system with centralized policy making and implementation-assessment capabilities. Learning health systems represent a fundamental shift in the design of health systems in general and mental health systems in particular, because of the historical separation between mental health care and other medical care, the disciplinary fragmentation that exists within mental health care, and the stigma associated with having a mental health condition.

Every year number of deaths due to wars and some natural and manmade disasters are increasing. Due to this many people will get stuck and it is very time-consuming for the emergency rescue operators should come there and start the rescue operation till this process a person may lose their precious lives. In order to solve this problem firstly the ground robot moves in the open field in the affected area to find out the affected human being. Ultrasonic sensor is used to guide the robot if in case there are obstacles in the path. The low-cost camera sends live video continuously. The PIR sensor is used to finds motion in human beings. If there is any motion detected then the affected person then the robot asks victim to place their finger on the sensors so that the health parameters can be monitored. GPS sends the location of the corresponding victim. This information is sent through Wi-Fi transceiver to the Thing-speak app in the smartphone through IoT.

A top-secret cryptographic dictionary compiled by Bletchley Park in 1944 defined ‘Y Service’ as ‘The organisation responsible for the interception of all enemy and neutral radio transmissions’. The job description was succinct, the task huge. The Y Service staff who intercepted and recorded the German and Japanese transmissions are unsung heroes of the attack on the enemy codes. Many of them were women. Their difficult and painstaking work was less glamorous than codebreaking, but without Y the Bletchley cryptanalysts would have had nothing to decrypt. Chapter 2 sketches the growth of the Y Service between the wars, including the establishment of the Royal Navy intercept site at Flowerdown, the Royal Air Force site at Cheadle, and the Army site at Chatham (see photograph 40). These and other military sites in the UK tended to focus on Morse transmissions. Curiously, the interception of the non-Morse transmissions associated with Fish fell at first to the London Police. Collaboration between the Foreign Office signals interception programme and Scotland Yard’s Metropolitan Police wireless service began in 1926 (‘wireless’ means ‘radio’). The Police wireless service, which started life in an attic at Scotland Yard, was originally set up to develop wireless for police vehicles; from 1926 the police operators had the additional brief of intercepting material of interest to the Foreign Office. In 1930 the Foreign Office started to finance the police Y section, which in turn became increasingly involved in the development of experimental equipment for Y work. Following successes against European traffic, the police operators received carte blanche to investigate ‘any curious type of transmission’. In the mid-1930s the section expanded and was relocated to buildings in the grounds of the Metropolitan Police Nursing Home at Denmark Hill in south London. Police operators first intercepted German non-Morse transmissions in 1932, on a link between Berlin and Moscow. These transmissions, which went on for ten months, were clearly experimental, and the police monitored them in conjunction with the Post Office’s Central Telegraph Office. It seems that the pre-war transmissions were unenciphered. Y’s first wartime encounter with non-Morse transmissions came in the latter half of 1940, when two stations broadcasting enciphered teleprinter code were intercepted.

Abstract The Wara sandstone reservoir in the Minagish field of Kuwait Oil Company is a complex deposition of a typical pro-deltaic environment consisting of shaly-silty sandstone sequences W7-W1. Three sequences (W6, W5, and W3) were expected in the case study well. The objective was to set 9⅝-in. casing at the top of W6 and then drill through the Wara sequences to connect all of them and land and drill the lateral section within W3. The W6 sequence is typically the primary target in the Wara formation, being thick and consistent throughout the field. The next logical step in developing the Wara reservoir was to study and investigate the minor W5 and W3 members. Due to poor correlation of W5 and W3 channels in offset wells, the geological target was selected based on seismic Poisson impedance. Historically, targeting the Wara formation occasionally resulted in multiple sidetracks due to drilling challenges. A real-time geomechanics service was utilized to overcome drilling challenges and real-time 3D ultra-deep resistivity inversion was implemented to optimize well placement. An extensive pre-drilling study for geomechanical and ultra-deep resistivity inversion modelling helped to develop road map for an optimal and safe well-construction process. The study showed that utilization of real-time 3D ultra-deep resistivity (UDR) inversion would help to optimize well placement and maximize sweet-zone exposure. The original well design, mud properties, and drilling parameters were modified based on the geomechanical study. Additionally, real-time geomechanics services were utilized to monitor and control the drilling process to follow the road map, which helped to avoid drilling issues, geostop at the W6 channel, and finally to run the casing smoothly. Real-time 3D ultra-deep resistivity mapping in the lateral section helped the operator to drill through W6 and W5, land precisely, and drill the lateral in the W3 channel, which was well developed, as expected from seismic Poisson impedance analysis. Formation evaluation of lateral section showed an average porosity of 24 p.u., water saturation 11% and up to 3 D/cp mobility. The application of real-time 3D ultra-deep resistivity inversion helped to triple the planned formation exposure and to discover a geometric extension of the above deposited channels (W6 and W5), which will help for future field development. The flow test showed the highest production rates from W3 of the field. The integrated approach described above was recommended to be utilized for all future Wara wells.

The Urdarbrunnen project is a Saab-led exploratory initiative that aims to develop an operator-assisted AI-enabled mission system for basic autonomous functions. In its first iteration, presented in this project paper, the system is designed to be capable of performing the search task of a combat search and rescue mission in a complex and dynamic environment, while providing basic human machine interaction support for remote operators. The system enables a team of agents to cooperatively plan and execute a search mission while also interfacing with the WARA-PS core system that allows human operators and other agents to monitor activities and interact with each other. The aim of the project is to develop the system iteratively, with each iteration incorporating feedback from simulations and real-world experiments. In future work, the capability of the system will be extended to incorporate additional tasks for other scenarios, making it a promising starting point for the integration of autonomous capabilities in a future air force.

Abstract The Greater Burgan field in South-East Kuwait is the world's largest sandstone oilfield and the second-largest conventional oilfield. The Wara reservoir, in the Greater Burgan field, is a prolific sandstone oil-producing formation. Peripheral water injection into the Wara reservoir is in progress for pressure maintenance and to improve oil recovery from the flank areas. Polymer injection has also been identified as a practical EOR method that can potentially increase oil production and recovery from the Wara reservoir. In view of that and, as a follow-up to a previous Long-Term Polymer Injectivity Test (LTPIT) (Murayri et al. 2022), a second LTPIT was carried out targeting a different area within the Wara reservoir. This paper describes elements of the polymer injection predictions approach, results obtained from a dynamic simulation sector model, before and after polymer injection, in pursuit of phased commercial polymer-flooding development using fit-for-purpose modularized water treatment and polymer mixing/injection facilities. Prior to the commencement of polymer injection, a representative 3x3 km sector was extracted from the full-field dynamic model. A fine grid numerical simulation model was then history matched and calibrated using production/injection history and Step Rate Test (SRT), Pressure Fall-Off (PFO), and Injection Logging Tool (ILT) and High Precision Temperature-Spectral Noise Logging (HPT-SNL) surveillance data. This model was set for predicting polymer injection rates to ensure injection under matrix conditions, at different polymer concentrations, to guide field implementation over a period of 3 months. Pre-LTPIT modeling results demonstrated that injection at commercial rates of >2,000 bpd is possible with polymer concentrations ranging from 1,500 to 1,800 ppm in accordance with the targeted in-situ polymer solution viscosity. During LTPIT field implementation, downhole pressure and temperature were monitored real-time in addition to wellhead pressure, injected polymer solution viscosity and injection rates to evaluate performance and update the sector model. Thereafter, reservoir simulation sensitivity runs were extensively investigated to design an optimal phased commercial development plan. This plan was developed by optimizing well requirements, injected polymer Pore Volume (PV) and concentration. A polymer PV of 0.8 and a concentration of 1,800 ppm were recommended accordingly in conjunction with 40 acre inverted 5-spot patterns. Economic evaluation was performed while considering water-flooding performance as a baseline. The incremental benefits associated with oil production gains and reduced water handling requirements were evaluated against the envisioned investment in additional wells and polymer injection. The optimal case showed an incremental oil recovery factor of 7% over a period of 10 years. This paper presents a case study wherein fit-for-purpose reservoir modelling is integrated with LTPIT surveillance/monitoring data to maximize the techno-economic benefits of phased commercial polymer-flooding in the Wara reservoir of the Greater Burgan field.

Abstract The Greater Burgan field Kuwait is the second largest oil field in the world and the largest sandstone field. Greater Burgan is divided into Ahmadi, Magwa, and Burgan fields. This paper describes the result of the first Long Term Polymer Injecticity Test (LTPIT) in Magwa field targeting wara reservoir with inferior rock quality comparing with the previous LTPI tests implemented in Burgan Field. These multiple LTPI tests located in different areas of the Greater Burgan Field are aimed to de-risk fast-tracked phased commercial polymer-flooding deployment in pursuit of production acceleration, reserves growth and cost optimization. An existing water injector in Magwa field was selected and connected to existing effluent water plant. Down-hole pressure and temperature gauges were installed for real-time surveillance monitoring of the pilot operation. Effluent water was treated at specific criteria and then mixed with the dry polymer to form the mother solution. This solution was diluted with treated water to achieve targeted injected polymer solution viscosity. Water-polymer solutions were injected using a high pressure non-shearing reciprocating pump. Injection rates, polymer concentration and viscosity were continuously monitored along with pressure and temperature. Samples from nearby producers to detect polymer breakthrough and measure polymer concentration were collected. A commercial simulation package CMG STARS™ was utilized for numerical simulation evaluation. Pre-selected sulfonated polymer was used to evaluate injectivity in medium quality zone at multiple rates and multiple polymer concentrations under sub-fracturing conditions. The rate and concentration for full-field application were determined. Target viscosity in-situ (4.7 cp) was achieved at lower concentration (1600 ppm). BHP pressure response to different injection rate and concentration was established. Polymer injection has the potential to improve conformance and establish more uniform zonal intake of injected fluids. The results show overall good polymer injectivity under matrix condition, however, dynamic modeling results incorporating pilot test data does not provide a cost-effective development strategy when compared to other parts of greater Burgan field. The result of the Long-Term Polymer injectivity test will be further integrated to design the polymer phase development in Greater Burgan Field, de-risking the commercial polymer flood development and therefore to save cost, time, and accelerate production in Wara reservoir.
