<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In the proposed SAFEDAM system, aerial and satellite-based information is used for the monitoring of river bodies, flood monitoring during the event, and for post-disaster damage assessment. UAV constitute a valuable source of information about the current situation in the field during the operation of emergency services. Time is crucial, and the basic assumption to use UAV remote sensing data is to make them available immediately after landing. Therefore, the approach of automatic orthomosaics created based on the exterior orientation of the transmitted images using direct georeference was selected instead of sophisticated automatic on-the-fly image-matching and georeferencing. The article conveys the justification for selecting this option in order to process orthomosaics with lower localisation accuracy in a short time. The developed algorithm takes into account the elements of exterior and interior orientation of the camera as well as the digital terrain model. The evaluation of the orthomosaic was conducted based on theorthophoto created in post-processing. Thanks to the approach used, images from the platform are available in the near real time on the screen of the interventional mode of the SAFEDAM system and are an extremely valuable and informative source of data. The system also integrates tools, which support the management of the action and prepares site documentation.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Background: Emergency Department (ED) nurses are familiar with high levels of turnover and staff burnout. All EDs have faced unprecedented stressors related to the global COVID-19 pandemic including higher patient acuity, senior staff attrition, and increased numbers of less-experienced new hires. In one combined pediatric and adult tertiary ED, senior nursing staff identified a need for integrating formalized mentorship for new staff in the current nursing orientation. Three senior, experienced, Registered Nurses (Mentor Leads) developed and implemented a volunteer-based, staff-led mentorship initiative piloted throughout 2021.
 Implementation: Mentor Leads conducted stakeholder consultation with recent new hires and senior staff prior to proposing the mentorship program model to management and the education team in November 2020. Support obtained allocated Mentor Leads two hours of classroom department orientation to conduct virtual presentations with new hires (Mentees). The presentation was structured as a nursing assignment simulation with opportunities for open discussion; it reviewed emergency case scenarios, prioritization/time management, department flow, multidisciplinary communication, and staff roles and resources. Then groups of two to four nursing Mentors, with at least one year of experience in the department, provided sequential in-person and email check-ins throughout the first six-months of the Mentees’ employment. Electronic materials, including mentorship expectations and resources, were disseminated to the Mentors to support them during their mentorship term.
 Evaluation Methods: Qualitative feedback was sought from Mentors and Mentees at the end of their mentorship term. Both were asked to describe any personal benefit gained from participation in the program, any challenges they recognized, and if/how the program impacted their future employment in the department. In addition, Mentees were asked to provide survey feedback following the orientation presentation.
 Results: The mentorship program was applied to all nine orientation groups hired in 2021. A total of 70 new hires participated as Mentees. Twenty-one volunteer Mentors were utilized to lead the orientation groups. Initial qualitative feedback for the orientation presentation and the six-month follow-up was universally positive. Qualitative themes included enhanced preparedness concerning department realities, feeling welcomed by staff, and improved understanding of department flow and avenues of assistance. One Mentee shared that, without the program they would have considered seeking new opportunities outside of the emergency department setting shortly after orientation.
 Mentors expressed a crucial need for the program and shared that their responsibilities and expectations were manageable. Mentors felt the email communication structure was less effective than the in-person check-ins. An incidental benefit of the program’s implementation was its positive effect on staff participating as Mentors. They reported that their experience with the program provided them with purpose, decreased levels of burnout, and strengthened their teaching and leadership skills. Qualitative feedback from Mentor Leads and experienced staff report that department mentorship culture as a whole has been enhanced by the program.
 Advice and Lessons Learned: 
 
 Strong partnership with key stakeholders, including management and the nursing education team, was vital to implementing a successful mentorship program in the department. Concerns voiced by Mentors regarding Mentee overall performance and potential practice challenges were escalated to department Clinical Nurse Educators in order to provide targeted educational support for the success of staff.
 The role of strong and determined Mentor Leads were key to conduct the necessary building, implementation, and preservation of the program. A significant amount of invested time was required to ensure program success. Consideration should be given to fiscal resources to incentivize staff-led grassroots mentorship programs.
 Future program evaluation hopes to include detailed evaluation of objective data comparing levels of nurse turnover and vacancy rates pre- and post-implementation of the program, and an economic evaluation.
 Future opportunities for this program are to expand mentorship to staff new to resuscitation, triage, and charge nurse roles within the department, as well as replicate the work to other local and provincial EDs.

The methods and results of seismic hazard zoning are investigated for the Russian Federation territory and abroad. The input data used in the zoning procedure, aimed at revealing the boundaries of areas with stable seismic intensity attenuation parameters have been analyzed. The zoning procedure has been developed for determining the boundaries of territories, within which the macroseismic field parameters (i.e., the coefficients in N.V. Shebalin’s equation; the orientation of the elliptic isoseist axes, as well as the ratio of their semi-axes) show close values in each point. Examples are given in distinguishing zones characterized by quasi-stable parameters for separate regions, as well as in calibrating the computer model of the macroseismic field. The case studies are considered in the presence of a complete set of input data and under conditions of their insufficiency. The efficiency of the macroseismic field calibrated models application in the Extremum system in order to increase the reliability of near real time earthquake loss estimations is shown.

Full textAbstract:
Public health and effective risk response cannot be promoted without a coordinated emergency process during a natural disaster. One primary problem with the emergency relief chain is the homogeneous layout of rescue organizations and reserves. There is a need for government-enterprise coordination to enhance the systemic resilience and demand orientation. Therefore, a bi-level multi-phase emergency plan model involving procurement, prepositioning and allocation is proposed. The tradeoff of efficiency, economy and fairness is offered through the multi-objective cellular genetic algorithm (MOCGA). The flood emergency in Hunan Province, China is used as a case study. The impact of multi-objective and coordination mechanisms on the relief chain is discussed. The results show that there is a significant boundary condition for the coordinated location strategy of emergency facilities and that further government coordination over the transition phase can generate optimal relief benefits. Demand orientation is addressed by the proposed model and MOCGA, with the realization of the process coordination in multiple reserves, optimal layout, and transition allocation. The emergency relief chain based on government-enterprise coordination that adapts to the evolution of disasters can provide positive actions for integrated precaution and health security.

This design case documents the reimagination of new faculty orientation for a mid-sized public university due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This fully virtual iteration was facilitated during the summer of 2020 and is compared both to previous in-person iterations of new faculty orientation as well as a blended modality version of the orientation program offered in 2021. The redesign is explained using language from Puntedura’s (2006) Substitution- Augmentation- Modification- Redefinition (SAMR) model of technology application in distributed learning. Such terminology provided a helpful common vocabulary for a design team pressured to determine which elements of orientation needed to be fully reimagined for successful virtual implementation and where simple substitution would suffice. A description of synchronous elements from the fully virtual orientation as well as artifacts from the asynchronous portions is included. A lack of formal evaluation for the reimagined new faculty orientation space is shared as an element of design failure. The informal evaluation uncovered attendee appreciation of both flexibility and recursiveness, feedback our design team used to combat criticism of a lack of attention during virtual events. The paper concludes with a reflection on the need for transparent communication between event attendees, event designers, and other key invested partners (such as university administration) if the benefits of virtual orientation programming are to be adopted for our institution beyond emergency modalities.

There has been an emergency paradigm shift in teaching and learning in the private universities of Bangladesh resulting from the complete shutdown of the educational institutions for an indefinite period due to Covid-19. While the shift to online classes remains operative with doubts and enthusiasm, the activities showed a considerable achievement and positive shift in attitude towards this mode in the past few weeks which showcase the prospects of online classes with some areas to address and problems to be solved. So, the stakeholders’ opinions, experiences and suggestions can be handy in capitalizing on, and utilizing this mode in coming days. Drawing on data from both the students and faculty members of different departments of Green University of Bangladesh (GUB), we illustrate the need to address and improve several areas including current state of mind of the stakeholders, potentials of the online classes as an alternative to onsite classes, the need for assurance of some facilities and orientation of this type of techno-based new modes as precautionary to emergency. Though online instructions are not new in many parts of the world, we argue that it is here in Bangladesh a new experience with a very limited practice, and so it requires some corrections, improvisations and special considerations on the part of the concerned authorities to make the mode a viable solution to teaching-learning in the impasse resulting from the complete shutdown in the current crisis.

In response to the spread of the Covid‑19 pandemic, the President of South Africa declared a national lockdown that commenced on 27 March 2020. This posed numerous challenges to the higher education sector, one of which was the preparation of students forced to stay at home to be able to study remotely under unique and often unfavourable circumstances. This article outlines and reflects on the conceptualisation, development, and implementation of an online orientation programme aimed at preparing students to rapidly move to emergency remote learning as a result of a nationwide lockdown. Teaching and Learning Centre staff in the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management at a South African university rapidly created a short online orientation programme in the institutional Learning Management System, using Salmon’s five-stage model as a conceptual framework. The objective was to enable students to acquire the skills and knowledge required for continuing with the university academic programme from 20 April 2020 via emergency remote learning. The orientation programme covered the priority areas of how to get started in emergency remote learning, broad study skills, how to use the required technologies for learning, and managing personal well‑being during social isolation and emergency remote learning. In this article, the conceptualisation and development of the orientation programme is analysed, before reflecting on its implementation, challenges, mitigating measures, and lessons learned. Feedback from students indicates that the majority of students felt more prepared for continuing the academic programme, although they still reported feeling anxious about the many uncertainties. The intervention emerges as a useful strategy for helping students transition during a crisis and contributes to the understanding of how to prepare students for rapid transition to Emergency Remote Learning.

Full textAbstract:
The use of computer systems like safety-related systems to ensure the functional safety of high-risk objects has raised them in the development of resources to the level of diversification. At the same time, the digital components, traditionally designed on the basis of array structures, remained at the lower level of a replication of resources. This discrepancy has created a problem of the hidden faults that can be accumulated in digital components during a prolonged normal mode and reduce their fault tolerance and system functional safety in the most critical emergency mode. Bitwise pipelines related to the level of resource diversification allow solving the problem of the hidden faults, but they are compelled to compete with the array structures, for which a powerful supporting infrastructure has been created for many decades. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the efficiency of FPGA-basedbitwise pipelines and matrix structures. Studies have shown that bitwise pipelines exhibit high efficiency exceeding that of the matrix structures in terms of both performance and energy consumption, even when designing a matrix orientation on CAD. Since such orientation reduces the advantages of bitwise pipelines, a method is proposed to increase their efficiency, which improves their throughput and energy consumption, whilemaking a cårtain concessionsto the matrix orientation of CAD. Thiswould beparticularly importantduring the transitional period, while the traditions of matrix domination are to be overcome and the of bitwise pipeline computing is to be formed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction As an acuity adaptable unit is is sometimes difficult to get nurses through an orientation in a manner that doesn't scare them off but still covers all their educational needs. The number of fluid resuscitations seen is approximately 30 per year which means that when one occurs new nursing staff needs to have exposure. However, it is a difficult experience to work through a large ICU admission as a new nurse even with preceptor support. Due to these issues the unit adopted a tiered orientation process. This process set forth task blocks as a focus during orientation versus entire patient care. For example, the new nurse and preceptor assignment could be the new fluid resuscitation in week one of orientation. However, the new nurse would only work on documentation of patient care. The preceptor would be responsible for procedures, dressing changes, fluid, and pharmacologic management that goes into caring for the acute burn. the new nurse could also be a part of these processes but that is not their focus during Tier 1. In Tier 2 the new nurse would start providing more patient care in addition to their documentation, the preceptor would still perform ICU level care items. In the final tier the orientee would do all direct care of the patient including documenation. This tiered approach allowed nurses to experience all levels of patient care without overwhelming them. Methods The process was brought to the shift coordinators to give them all a sense of how staffing assignments would be made during orientation. Education was presented to preceptors at unit council meetings and then in 1 on 1 meetings as needed. Additional, touch base meetings occurred every other week during the start of this process starting in May of 2022. During this time 7 new nurses were on-boarded. 7 unique preceptors were utilized. New hires were met with weekly on an informal basis from weeks 1-5 by either the clinical educator or the nurse manager. Each new nurse and their preceptor had formal meetings with the nurse manager, clinical educator or both at 6, 10 and 12 weeks. A short survey was sent to all preceptors following the initial 5 months of this new process. Results 50% of all preceptors found this new model to be an improvement over the previous model. 33% did not agree or disagree on if the process was an improvement. 2 out of the 7 preceptors had not precepted before which might account for the 33%. 40% of the preceptors felt satisfied with the overall process for orientation. 83% of the preceptors felt that they had adequate resources to orient new nurses to the unit. Conclusions It appears that the adoption of a tiered process worked well during the initial evaluation phase. However, the n was small and additional evaluation would be beneficial to further address how impactful a tiered orientation process is for on-boarding new nursing staff. Applicability of Research to Practice It important for nursing leaders to evaluate and update how to best meet the needs of staff to create competency and safety.

Full textAbstract:
Research has found that the turnover rate of graduate nurses within their first year is significantly high. Specialties such as pediatric and emergency nursing have even a higher turnover rate. It has been suggested that significant amounts of stress and lack of skills are responsible for the turnovers. This quality improvement project, which is theoretically based on Benner's novice to expert theory, will examine if a lack of a specialized pediatric emergency graduate nurse orientation program is a contributing factor. The purpose of the project is to improve retention of graduate nurses by implementing a specialized orientation program that focuses on pediatric emergency nursing. The research question examined the effect of a specialized graduate nurse orientation program on increasing retention, nurses' competency, and job satisfaction. This project takes the hospital's original orientation program of 6 generalized classes and hands-on orientation and adds a more specialized approach. The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Core Curriculum of specialized skills and didactic classes for pediatric emergency nursing (developed by the ENA pediatric committee based on evidence and gold standard practice); evaluation tools (developed by researcher) for both the preceptor and orientee; and face-to-face meetings between the educator, preceptor and orientee were the tools used for specializing the orientation program. It is anticipated that the results will show that increase in retention. In terms of social change, it is anticipated increased nursing retention will increase nursing knowledge and job satisfaction, which will ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes and decreased mortality rates.

Full textAbstract:
UA Open Access Publishing Fund<br>Background: The transition from medical student to first-year intern can be challenging. The
stress of increased responsibilities, the gap between performance expectations and varying
levels of clinical skills, and the need to adapt to a new institutional space and culture can make
this transition overwhelming. Orientation programs intend to help new residents prepare for
their new training environment.
Objective: To ease our interns’ transition, we piloted a novel clinical primer course. We believe
this course will provide an introduction to basic clinical knowledge and procedures, without
affecting time allotted for mandatory orientation activities, and will help the interns feel better
prepared for their clinical duties.
Methods: First-year Emergency Medicine residents were invited to participate in this primer
course, called the Introductory Clinician Development Series (or “intern boot camp”), providing
optional lecture and procedural skills instruction prior to their participation in the mandatory
orientation curriculum and assumption of clinical responsibilities. Participating residents
completed postcourse surveys asking for feedback on the experience.
Results: Survey responses indicated that the intern boot camp helped first-year residents feel
more prepared for their clinical shifts in the Emergency Department.
Conclusion: An optional clinical introductory series can allow for maintenance of mandatory
orientation activities and clinical shifts while easing the transition from medical student to
clinician.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Acute coronary syndromes, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Existing research shows that prehospital care provided by emergency medical services (EMS) can significantly improve outcomes. However, EMS remains grossly underutilised in Abu Dhabi despite a well-established presence. Objectives: In this three-part quantitative, observational study, we sought to (1) assess physicians' perceptions of, and recommendations for, utilization and improvement of EMS, (2) assess patients' awareness of EMS, mode of transport use in decision to seek care and reasons for their decision, and (3) establish if in the current study setting, mode of transport used has implications for in hospital adverse events, as well as short and long term clinical outcomes. The goal was to investigate both physicians' and patients' perceptions of prehospital STEMI care, as well as to assess the clinical correlates of the mode of transport in a patient's decision to seek care. Methods: We conducted the study in three phases. Phase 1: At four government-operated hospitals in Abu Dhabi, we administered surveys to a convenience sample of physicians involved in care of patients with acute coronary syndromes to measure (a) likelihood of recommending EMS, (b) satisfaction with EMS, (c) likelihood of using EMS for self or family, and (d) recommendations for prehospital care of acute coronary syndromes. Phase 2: We gathered mode of transport data from a purposive, non-random sample of 587 consecutive patients with STEMI over an 18-month period and conducted structured follow-up interviews to assess their perceptions of EMS. We conducted analysis to determine whether mode of transport was related to demographic variables. Phase 3: We collected medical records from patient participants and conducted structured follow-up interviews at 1, 6 and 12 months post discharge. We conducted chi square difference testing to determine the relationships among mode of transport, treatment times, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes. Variables included treatment times and associated outcomes. Results: Physician participants (n = 106) were most supportive of prehospital 12-lead ECG for STEMI, but indicated low satisfaction with existing EMS services in Abu Dhabi. Among STEMI patient participants (n = 587), EMS was underutilized in Abu Dhabi; over half (55%) of patients did not know the phone number to contact EMS, and only 14.7% used EMS in their decision to seek care. EMS-transported patients were more likely to receive timely treatment (door-todiagnostic ECG time, door-to-balloon time) and had lower incidence of mortality compared to privately-transported patients. Conclusions: These findings suggest a need to raise public awareness of EMS and its importance for coronary symptoms in Abu Dhabi. Broader application of prehospital ECG, including prehospital activation of cardiac catheterization labs, bypassing non-interventional cardiology centres, and admission directly to facilities that provide these services without initial admission to the emergency department, could help improve physicians' perceptions of EMS and outcomes for patients with STEMI.

Full textAbstract:
In multibody systems, mechanical components (bodies) can be assumed rigid (non-deformable), if their deformation is negligible. For components with non-negligible deformations several methods were developed to represent their deformation. The most widely used method is the floating frame of reference. In this formulation the deformable body is represented by a finite element model whose deformation is described with respect to a local body-fixed frame. Unfortunately, finite element models can include many degrees-of-freedom, which stand in contradiction to the requirements of multibody dynamics. System truncation is therefore inevitable to support computational efficiency. The use of modal data in representing a deformable body is well understood in the multibody community. By truncating modes associated with higher frequencies, the total degrees-of-freedom of the deformable body can be reduced while preserving its dynamic eigen-properties. However, since the finite element model may be in contact with other moving bodies, the reduction technique needs to address the issue of moving boundary conditions. The component mode synthesis reduction methods are such techniques that describe the deflection of all the nodes as a superposition of different types of modes. However, it is limited in the fact that the nodes in contact need to remain in contact throughout a simulation. In some applications these nodes may change, i.e. a node that is in contact with another body or the ground at one instant may become free at the next instant. The present methodologies in multibody modeling of a deformable body with modal data have not yet addressed the issue of changing contact nodes. This research highlights the usefulness of orientation invariant characteristics of some deformable bodies. It proposes to define orientation invariant degrees-of-freedom of the reduced model in Eulerian space, while the remaining degrees-of-freedom are defined in Lagrangian space. In some circumstances, this approach can resolve the issue of changing contact nodes. The combination of Eulerian and Lagrangian formulation for component mode synthesis reduced finite element models is a new concept in deformable multibody dynamics.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the orientation of small organic acid modifiers on metal oxide electrodes is important in advancing the field of organic photovoltaics (OPVs). In this work, the orientation of a group of these small organic acid modifiers will be investigated on indium zinc oxide (IZO). Polarization modulation-infrared reflectance-absorbance spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) is the primary technique used to determine these orientations. In order to determine orientations from PM-IRRAS data, other chemical and physical properties of the modifiers, such as density and surface coverage, must be experimentally determined. Neutral buoyancy is used to determine the density of the modifiers, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to estimate surface coverage of these modifiers on IZO. These techniques are also used to determine binding mode of these modifiers on IZO. The tilt angles (θ) were found to be 50 ± 3°, 64 ± 2°, and 43 ± 3° for F₅BnPA, F₅BnCA, and F₅BnHA, respectively, meaning that the phenyl ring in F₅BnHA is more perpendicular to the surface while the phenyl ring in F₅BnCA more parallel to the surface. All three modifiers were also found to bind to IZO in a bidentate manner. In contrast, F₅BnSA etches away significant portions of the IZO substrate.

Stein, Emma Natalya. Constructing Kanchi. Amsterdam University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789463729123.
Full textAbstract:
This book traces the emergence of the South Indian city of Kanchi as a major royal capital and multireligious pilgrimage destination during the era of the Pallava and Chola dynasties (circa seventh through thirteenth centuries). It presents the first-ever comprehensive picture of historical Kanchi, locating the city and its more than 100 spectacular Hindu temples at the heart of commercial and artistic exchange that spanned India, Southeast Asia, and China. The author demonstrates that Kanchi was structured with a hidden urban plan, which determined the placement and orientation of temples around a central thoroughfare that was also a burgeoning pilgrimage route. Moving outwards from the city, she shows how the transportation networks, river systems, residential enclaves, and agrarian estates all contributed to the vibrancy of Kanchi’s temple life. The construction and ongoing renovation of temples in and around the city, she concludes, has enabled Kanchi to thrive continuously from at least the eighth century, through the colonial period, and up until the present.

Full textAbstract:
Likely, the after-pandemic world won’t be as it used. To properly imagine and build our future, we should forget the progressive growth of past times and even the concept of “normality” of pre-pandemic years is going to change inasmuch as a new social concept is coming true ("surprise free" scenarios are no longer contemplated). The disposition of Italians towards their future was surveyed with three indicators: 1) the depression rate as measured with PHQ9, a standard psychological test for clinical depression measurement; 2) the pro-activeness orientation, as measured with an 8-item psychological test; and 3) the clearness rate of own future vision, as measured with a focused, dichotomous question. The indicators have been measured through a convenience sample on Italian adults during the second half of 2021. The analysis showed that the fear of contagion and the never-ending emergency due to Covid-19 pandemic caused such a psychological awkwardness to repress the disposition of Italians towards their possible futures. The repression was harder on youngsters, living alone persons, disrupted families, and people with psychic and/or depressive symptoms. A regressive model was furtherly fit on the collected sample. It showed multiple determinants of the future repression, say, that the fear of contagion was more relevant than the contagion itself and the uncertainty about the pandemic end was as disheartening as the contagion risk for the yearning hope of a positive after-pandemic lifestyle.

The essay deals with the thought of E.P. Thompson with reference to the transformation of work behavior. Moving from the presentation of his peculiar historiographical approach, the essay critically examines the article he devoted to the emergence of a discipline, at work and in everyday life, that made the establishment of the capitalist industrial model possible. The categories of task-oriented work of pre-industrial societies, and time-oriented work of industrialized societies, are discussed. The main elements through which working and non-working time has been regulated and the emergence of new forms of leisure are presented. In closing, the applicability of the two categories as ideal types for reading the forms of work in the industrial societies of the global world is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
The capabilities of two marine evacuation systems have been investigated using model experiments in a large test facility at the Institute for Ocean Technology. Tests were done with the widely used conventional davit launched twin-falls lifeboat and a similar system with the addition of a flexible boom. The performance of both systems was evaluated as a function of weather conditions, ranging from calm conditions to storms. In addition, the effects of the configuration of the evacuation station were examined. This included the orientation of the boat at launch and its clearance from the vessel. Evacuation tests were done in intact and damaged conditions. Results of this large experimental campaign are presented and practical applications to emergency preparedness planning and evacuation system design are discussed. This work aims to address a knowledge gap by providing objective, empirical data that can be used by designers, regulators and others in their decisions concerning safety.

Full textAbstract:
Signage systems are closely linked to the security of persons and goods, as well as pressing issues such as ergonomics, accessibility, orientation, and mobility, among others. Signaling traffic, tourism, emergency signaling, railway signaling, air, maritime, etc., well reflect the role of signage/signalization in contributing to the safety and mobility of societies and the social role of design as a methodology or discipline that conceives orientation signs in space – The Signage systems. The potential benefits of information design (more properly signage systems) for social development are also looking for new approaches and methodologies, for research in and by design in an attempt to maximize new solutions that improve the lives of societies. The found solutions at the level of signage systems do not always consider the real needs of multiple users, i.e., at the level of design of these systems lack truly design projects centred on the users and that incorporate real solutions at technical, aesthetic, ergonomic and also inclusive levels. The development of signalling systems, which are considered as spatial information systems, involves the vital function of transmitting information in order to guide and direct certain individuals or groups / classes of individuals. It is a communication process that uses artifacts designed for the transmission of information and guidance clear and unambiguous for Citizens: The wayfinding. Considering wayfinding as the organization and communication of our dynamic relationship with space and environment, we are in the field of an important area for the design, to architecture and ergonomics, which is not only limited to the design of systems, but all that pertains to human interaction with spaces (Arthur; Passini, 1992). Thus, wayfinding design seeks to develop activity in the design of signage systems and of spatial information, which aim to guide and assist the task of accessibility to a particular space or territory. It is understood to be fundamentally a user-centred approach, which favors the ergonomic issues, anthropometric and inclusiveness, making signage systems truly universal or rather, accessible to a majority.

Full textAbstract:
M. Sergeyev’s article “Ukrainian National Idea in the Modern Ukrainian Media Space” states that modern Ukrainian philosophical thought tries to get rid of the flaws and stereotypes of its one-sided orientation “to the East” and tries to establish a European orientation in the minds of Ukrainian citizens. The theoretical proof of the new worldview took place throughout the formation of the Ukrainian state from Little Russia to Ukraine and presents its actual struggle for independence. It is an integral concept that reflects the process of forming theories and views of prominent Ukrainian thinkers on the place and role of Ukrainians in the becoming and development of an independent Ukrainian state. As O. Zabuzhko emphasizes, “all Ukrainian philosophical, historical, sociological thought of the past and our centuries (including the diaspora) is permeated with the sacred idea of nationalism”. The author concludes that the logic of the historical development of the Ukrainian national idea reveals only one model of its socio-political future, which implies the need for Ukraine’s integration into the European and world community. This path requires the moral and political readiness of the entire Ukrainian society for its implementation and prevents the emergence of any other - alternative ideas. Solving this problem is complicated by the need to return to Ukraine the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Of course, this model will lead to significant political and economic tensions in society (the final severance of economic relations with Russia, the closure of non-competitive industries, the outflow of labor to the west). At the same time, the orientation of the Ukrainian national idea to the west will increase competition in all branches of production and will be a condition for further self-improvement of Ukrainian society.

Müller, Alex. Supporting the mpox response for people with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression in contexts where their rights are restricted. Institute of Development Studies, 2025. https://doi.org/10.19088/sshap.2025.023.
Full textAbstract:
People with diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression (SOGIE) are a hard-to-reach population. This is because of restrictive legal frameworks, social exclusion, stigma and discrimination in service delivery. Because people with diverse SOGIE often avoid seeking healthcare at government health centres, mpox-related health services might not reach them. Contact tracing can be stymied by laws that criminalise same-sex behaviour. In contexts where sodomy laws are enforced and arrests are being made, listing same-sex partners can be akin to admitting to criminal behaviour, and providing contact details of sexual partners poses grave risks to them. Laws that criminalise same-sex behaviour do not criminalise providing services for people with diverse SOGIE, but they justify marginalisation and can encourage discriminatory service provision. Healthcare providers and humanitarian workers supporting the mpox response need to know the framing and the impact of such restrictive laws to help them reach people with diverse SOGIE effectively without putting themselves or their patients at risk. This brief provides a socio-behavioural analysis of the vulnerabilities, risks and resultant operational key considerations for working with people with diverse SOGIE in the mpox response. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the second mpox Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in August 2024. The brief’s considerations are especially pertinent given that in the countries most affected by mpox, people with diverse SOGIE are at best stigmatised and at worst criminalised, necessitating a careful approach to ensure that they are reached adequately without creating further harms. This brief provides contextual information and practical recommendations to humanitarian aid workers and healthcare providers responding to mpox outbreaks in contexts that restrict rights related to SOGIE, with a specific focus on African settings. The brief provides an overview of the epidemiology of mpox as it relates to gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) and explains the specific medical and social vulnerabilities of this group. The brief then provides an overview of the relevant legal frameworks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Uganda, Nigeria and Burundi. These countries have reported high numbers of mpox cases during the most recent PHEIC, and the brief explains the consequences of each country’s legal framework for both healthcare and humanitarian aid provision.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis plus de cinquante ans, l’Institut Vanier de la famille s’emploie à observer, à étudier et à analyser les tendances touchant les familles et la vie de famille au Canada. Dès la première heure, le constat a toujours été sans équivoque : la réalité des familles est à visages multiples, puisque leur diversité n’a d’égal que celle des gens qui les composent. Et ce fut toujours le cas, peu importe que l’on s’intéresse aux familles du point de vue de leur structure, de leur identité familiale, de leur mode de cohabitation, de leur style de vie et de leurs réalités familiales, ou encore que l’on insiste sur les caractéristiques individuelles des membres de la famille, comme leurs antécédents ethnoculturels, leur statut d’immigrant, leur orientation sexuelle ou leurs aptitudes particulières. En misant sur notre récente fiche infographique intitulée La diversité familiale au Canada (mise à jour au Recensement de 2016), notre nouvelle parution dans la série Coup d’œil sur les statistiques propose un portrait élargi et plus détaillé des familles modernes au Canada, et de certaines tendances qui contribuent à définir notre paysage familial dynamique et en constante évolution. À partir de notre analyse des données et des tendances actuelles, cet aperçu montre que la diversité demeure l’une des caractéristiques centrales de la vie familiale, qu’il s’agisse des familles d’hier et d’aujourd’hui ou de celles des générations à venir. Et cette réalité alimente le dynamisme de la société canadienne en pleine évolution.

Full textAbstract:
Public transit ridership in California declined in the five years before the pandemic of 2020–21 and dropped significantly further after the pandemic began. A sharp downward step in the level of transit boarding occurred after February 2020, and continues to the date of this report as a result of the public-health guidance on social distancing, expanded work-at-home, and a travel mode shift from public transit to private cars. A critical issue has come to the foreground of public transportation policy, namely, how to increase the quality and geographic reach of transit service to better serve the essential trips of mobility disadvantaged citizens who do not have access to private vehicle travel. The research focus of this report is an examination of the circumstances where fixed route bus route service could cost-effectively be replaced by on-demand microtransit, with equivalent overall zone-level efficiency and a higher quality of complete trip service. Research methods were reviews of documented agency experience, execution of simple simulations, and sketch-level analysis of 2019 performance reported in the National Transit Database. Available evidence is encouraging and suggestive, but not conclusive. The research found that substitutions of flexible microtransit for fixed route buses are already being piloted across the U.S., with promising performance results. The findings imply that action steps could be taken in California to expand and refine an emphasis on general purpose microtransit in corridors and zones with a relatively high fraction of potential travelers who are mobility disadvantaged, and where traditional bus routes are capturing fewer than 15 boardings per vehicle hour. To be sufficiently productive as fixed route replacements, microtransit service technologies in the same or larger zones need to be capable of achieving vehicle boardings of five per hour, a challenge worth addressing with technology applications. Delivery of microtransit service can be undertaken through contracts with a growing set of private sector firms, which are developing processes to merge general purpose customers with those now assigned to ADA-required paratransit and Medi-Cal-supported non-emergency medical transport.

Full textAbstract:
Training and professional development of nuclear power plant personnel are essential components of the atomic energy industry’s successful performance. The rapid growth of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies allowed to expand their scope and caused the need for various studies and experiments in terms of their application and effectiveness. Therefore, this publication studies the peculiarities of the application of VR and AR technologies for the training and professional development of personnel of nuclear power plants. The research and experiments on various aspects of VR and AR applications for specialists’ training in multiple fields have recently started. The analysis of international experience regarding the technologies application has shown that powerful companies and large companies have long used VR and AR in the industries they function. The paper analyzes the examples and trends of the application of VR technologies for nuclear power plants. It is determined that VR and AR’s economic efficiency for atomic power plants is achieved by eliminating design errors before starting the construction phase; reducing the cost and time expenditures for staff travel and staff training; increasing industrial safety, and increasing management efficiency. VR and AR technologies for nuclear power plants are successfully used in the following areas: modeling various atomic energy processes; construction of nuclear power plants; staff training and development; operation, repair, and maintenance of nuclear power plant equipment; presentation of activities and equipment. Peculiarities of application of VR and AR technologies for training of future specialists and advanced training of nuclear power plant personnel are analyzed. Staff training and professional development using VR and AR technologies take place in close to real-world conditions that are safe for participants and equipment. Applying VR and AR at nuclear power plants can increase efficiency: to work out the order of actions in the emergency mode; to optimize the temporary cost of urgent repairs; to test of dismantling/installation of elements of the equipment; to identify weaknesses in the work of individual pieces of equipment and the working complex as a whole. The trends in the application of VR and AR technologies for the popularization of professions in nuclear energy among children and youth are outlined. Due to VR and AR technologies, the issues of “nuclear energy safety” have gained new importance both for the personnel of nuclear power plants and for the training of future specialists in the energy sector. Using VR and AR to acquaint children and young people with atomic energy in a playful way, it becomes possible to inform about the peculiarities of the nuclear industry’s functioning and increase industry professions’ prestige.
