A major research plan entitled “Integrated research on the ecohydrological process of the Heihe River Basin” was launched by the National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2010. One of the key aims of this research plan is to establish a research platform that integrates observation, data management, and model simulation to foster twenty-first-century watershed science in China. Based on the diverse needs of interdisciplinary studies within this research plan, a program called the Heihe Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research (HiWATER) was implemented. The overall objective of HiWATER is to improve the observability of hydrological and ecological processes, to build a world-class watershed observing system, and to enhance the applicability of remote sensing in integrated ecohydrological studies and water resource management at the basin scale. This paper introduces the background, scientific objectives, and experimental design of HiWATER. The instrumental setting and airborne mission plans are also outlined. The highlights are the use of a flux observing matrix and an eco-hydrological wireless sensor network to capture multiscale heterogeneities and to address complex problems, such as heterogeneity, scaling, uncertainty, and closing water cycle at the watershed scale. HiWATER was formally initialized in May 2012 and will last four years until 2015. Data will be made available to the scientific community via the Environmental and Ecological Science Data Center for West China. International scientists are welcome to participate in the field campaign and use the data in their analyses.

Maintaining water quality in the Florida Keys is vital to the area’s economy. However, the lack of sewage infrastructure has degraded nearshore water quality. The Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan outlines strategies to improve sewage infrastructure to meet the State of Florida’s 2010 effluent standards. This paper assesses the progress of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan in the context of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) by means of surveys, semi-structured interviews, and secondary data. Monroe County’s plan included aspects of ICM and emphasized a community-based approach for incorporated and unincorporated areas to meet effluent standards. However, areas throughout the Florida Keys faced financial constraints and lack of resources in executing public work initiatives. Variability in management plans developed by municipalities demonstrated the need for a top down approach. The State of Florida and Monroe County could have provided more guidance and resources, and facilitated communication between the various entities to help complete objectives by the 2010 deadline.

This study focuses on evolving an integrated water management plan (IWMP) for Shimla City (erstwhile summer capital of British India). Presently it is the state capital of Himachal Pradesh. Total water demand (2014) is 58.46 million litres per day (MLD) against system capacity of 54.54 MLD. The present deficit of 3.92 MLD (2014) may amplify to 59.01 MLD in 2051. Resource assessment in the related watersheds namely, Ashwani, Nauti, Giri and Pabbar accomplished using remote sensing techniques and geographic information system (GIS) based Arc-SWAT hydrological model. Average annual precipitation in all watersheds for 26 years (1984–2010) is about 1,005 mm, out of which about 34% flows as runoff, 8% as groundwater and about 58% as evapotranspiration. Being ungauged watersheds, water balance equation considered as the validation criteria, coefficient of correlation ‘R’ between observed rainfall and simulated runoff varies from 0.94–0.96. Results further validated through actual measurement of inflow in lean period in one of the major sources, i.e. Giri River, which has shown very good correlation (R = 0.95) between simulated and observed stream flow. The study establishes that existing sources are not sustainable. IWMP suggests, source augmentation coupled with rainwater harvesting and reuse of wastewater as long-term strategic measures.

ABSTRACT Contingency plans are designed to assist responders during a response and to meet regulatory requirements. More often, these plans are unusable by responders—overloaded with information or streamlined to the point of ineffectiveness. There is simply more information than can be organized into a usable paper plan. To successfully aid responders, plans must be transitioned from a paper to an electronic medium using a three-dimensional (3-D) Integrated Planning Model. This model uses the three core components found in every plan and structures them along a horizontal axis in a database. Then all individual plans are stacked on top of each other along a vertical axis to maximize information sharing. While the database configuration described above would improve search capabilities, the stringent and restrictive controls for plan submission to a single point centralized database would greatly reduce the number of entities that would be willing to participate. There are many initiatives underway throughout the country to develop electronically based plans. Several contain some or all of the components of a 3-D Integrated Planning Model. However, a common vision of a 3-D Integrated Planning Model and resource commitment is still needed at the national level to maximize the benefit. These ongoing efforts by individual entities typically represent the building blocks of much better response tools. What is needed is a 3-D Integrated Contingency Plan model that takes the synergy of these building blocks and puts them together to build a “house” of tools for responders to use. This house is a reality and is a project called “e-Plan.” The benefits of e-Plan are many including a significant cost saving to plan holders. This is a one-time opportunity to develop a national standard for collecting, moving, and archiving important contingency plan data, and the chance to make major strides in improving preparedness and ability to respond.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the benefits of utilizing teams of personal and financial consultants to work with farm families in New York State on issues affecting farm business performance. Design/methodology/approach – Program experience in implementing an integrated consulting model provides a framework for illustrating how such a model may be utilized on farms and other family businesses for succession planning. Findings – An integrated personal and financial consulting model is effective in producing lasting business results such as business growth, improved profitability, and reduced interpersonal conflict on farms in New York State. Originality/value – Farmers employ a multitude of risk management tools, such as crop insurance, to reduce various types of risk affecting their farm businesses in New York State, but an area often overlooked by farmers is managing human resource risk, namely succession risk. As the average age of farmers in the USA continues to increase, employing new tools and strategies is critical when developing an effective business succession plan for farmers.

The Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital (CHBH) in South Africa is the largest in the world, with 2,900 beds. Its trauma unit boasts 15 resuscitation bays, while the triage area has space for 40 stretchers. There are 5,000 trauma resuscitations performed yearly, out of 50,000 patients seen in the Trauma Emergency Department. There is an eight-bed Trauma Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a 56-bed Trauma Ward. There also are 25 stepdown beds, 70 outlying beds, a six-bed Burn ICU, 20-bed ward, and a 24-bed shortstay ward. There are about 80 resuscitations and 70 trauma emergency operations weekly. However, the hospital is severely limited in financial and human resources, with only 2–3 interns, two registrars, and one trauma consultant on-call. The hospital is at > 130% bed occupancy. The CHBH was designated as the main disaster hospital for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, due to its proximity to the 96,000-seat Soccer City. Nominal disaster plans existed, but there were no resources, preparations, or knowledge, as was the case with most other government hospitals. The Trauma Directorate developed a new plan for the World Cup, future mass-casualty incidents at CHBH, and for other resource limited hospitals. The plans are centered on four critical issues: (1) preparedness of hospital structure and staff; (2) dissemination of the plan; (3) disaster training; and (4) the development of “Disaster Bags” for 350 casualties A free disaster course trained > 400 staff members on in-hospital triage and trauma management. All hospital staff were allocated specific functions in case of disasters. This is the first time the CHBH has had an integrated disaster plan, with separate equipment allocation, through private funding, and involving all disciplines.

Full textAbstract:
Over a period of many centuries the Polynesians who inhabited Hawai‘i developed a carefully regulated and sustainable “ahupua‘a” management system that integrated watershed, freshwater and nearshore marine resources based on the fundamental linkages between all ecosystems from the mountain tops to the sea. This traditional scheme employed adaptive management practices keyed to subtle changes in natural resources. Sophisticated social controls on resource utilization were an important component of the system. Over the past two centuries a “Western system” gradually replaced much of the traditional Hawaiian system. There are major differences between the two systems in the areas of management practices, management focus, knowledge base, dissemination of information, resource monitoring, legal authority, access rights, stewardship and enforcement. However, there is a recent shift toward incorporating elements of the traditional scheme using methods and terminology acceptable and appropriate to present day realities. This trend is exemplified by the management plan for the newly formed Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. This is one of the largest protected areas in the world and is being managed with a focus on Native Hawaiian cultural values in relation to conservation, ecological, historical, scientific, and educational resource protection.

Abstract Groundwater is one of the most valuable natural resources which is essential for the environmental, biological and socio-economic activities. The present paper aims to delineate groundwater potential of Ulhas basin in India through remote sensing and geographical information system. Several groundwater influencing factors such as geology, geomorphology, slope, landuse, rainfall, lineaments are mapped in GIS environment. Later, these factors were ranked on the basis of their influence on the groundwater potential of a region. After that all these factors were integrated together in GIS environment to prepare the groundwater potential map of Ulhas basin. By implementing influencing factor, it is observed that about 21%, 50% and 29% areas are falling under high, moderate, and low groundwater potential zones, correspondingly. The present study is highly valuable to the policymakers, administrative bodies, engineers for management of groundwater and preparing sustainable water resource plans in Ulhas basin. Additionally, the present paper will help to construct artificial groundwater recharge plan in the study area.

Full textAbstract:
There are two policy events that are the focus of the research: the Integrated Resource Plan of 2010 (IRP2010), and its 2013 update report. The research is mainly concerned with the political influence exerted by the identified advocacy coalitions and the political context they acted within, during the period under review: June 2010 to June 2015. The research and the analysis of findings has been guided by the Advocacy Coalitions Framework (ACF) theory. In keeping with ACF methodology, the research is based on an understanding of the preceding 10 to 15 years in order to better interpret current unfolding policy events, identify the coalitions and their activities, and ultimately present key findings that are based on empirical evidence. The narrative seeks to take account of parallel unfolding dimensions which collectively portray a noteworthy tapestry: coalition beliefs and activities, and policy events within the SA electricity supply sector over time. By the final chapter, it should be clear who exerted influence, what their dominant advocacy issues were, whether such influence was evident in policy that was promulgated, and what changed along the way. Empirical findings provide answers to the following research questions: 1. From the IRP2010 to its 2013 Update report, which were the dominant coalitions seeking to influence planning? 2. What were the dominant advocacy issues raised by these coalitions? 3. What evidence could be found for how the issues of dominant advocacy coalitions were realised in electricity policy? 4. What can be concluded and what are the implications for future electricity planning? The dissertation begins with a brief introduction of what the theoretical framework ACF would consider the energy policy system i.e. the international and the national energy and electricity governance context. ACF is then applied to understand the politics of electricity planning in South Africa, two dominant advocacy coalitions active within that sub-system, and their advocated beliefs, in order to answer the first two research questions. Chapter 5 and 6 together answer research question three. In chapter 5, ACF is applied to understand process and outcomes for the IRP2010 as promulgated. Chapter 6 considers the process and outcomes related to the IRP's 2013 update report which is not recognised in policy, and describes some of the shifts that occurred within and between coalitions and within the electricity policy sub-system by June 2015. The picture that emerges is that of an electricity sector within a new democracy that has sought to move beyond its apartheid-era policy legacies and has become characterised by decision-making based on politics rather than evidence. In answering the fourth question it is concluded that recent decision-making and planning processes in South Africa's electricity sector have undergone distinct periods of open and closed consultative process. There has been a steady opening up of process particularly during the policy period up to December 2010. From 2011 onward, a closing down of process has steadily been underway, particularly in relation to the IRP2013 update report. This has occurred at the same time as broad public support for transparent decision-making that is based on evidence had grown. While the analysis focuses on issues of ideological belief, politics and process, rather than on technology and economics, two distinct and contested electricity supply investment options related to power sector reform have dominated the advocacy beliefs and actions of the two coalitions reviewed, as well as the policy choices made by government: nuclear power on the one hand, and renewable energy on the other. These supply options and some of the issues of political economy associated with them are considered in the latter parts of the dissertation. A summary of the main findings Two high-level coalitions have dominated the IRP2010 process and its 2013 update: one favouring orthodox solutions to power supply, and the other favouring transition to a reformed power sector. The coalitions are: a. The Orthodox coalition: enjoying both greater political support for and capacity to influence the achievement of conventional economic growth. Their advocacy tended to focus on past experience and retaining the power supply status quo. b. The Reform coalition: less politically influential, and enjoying less political support. Their advocacy tended toward learning from past experience and changing the status quo. Among the issues which the two coalitions differ on, the five most contested issues were: tariffs and investment, power sector reform, climate change, nuclear power, and renewable energy. The promulgated electricity plan reflects wins and losses to both coalitions. For the IRP2010, more evidence was found of policy 'wins' for the Orthodox coalition. For the 2013 update report, more evidence was found of policy 'wins' for the Reform coalition, Nevertheless, given that the 2013 update report is not recognised in policy, it is concluded that the Orthodox coalition has been more influential in its advocacy. For the IRP 2013 update report, analysis of policy wins and losses became more complex, with alliances shifting within and between the two coalitions under review. Evidence has been found of an initial steady opening up of public consultation process in the decade preceding 2010, which later closed down steadily by June 2015. The closing down of process has been most evident to those involved in electricity planning, since mid-2010.The influential role of the Presidency, on the nuclear investment decision is perceived by electricity planning stakeholders to have begun in June 2010. The clear political support for nuclear procurement has resulted in greater unified advocacy against nuclear power, and lesser advocacy against renewable energy. The continued non-recognition of the IRP2013 update report in policy has benefited both wind power investment and new nuclear power procurement. Ultimately, the delay in the promulgation of a well-regarded, technically robust updated IRP threatens confidence in electricity planning process and is perceived by senior electricity actors to be entrenching a situation where politics is currently playing a more influential role than evidence, in South Africa's electricity planning.

The increasing demand for electrical energy to bring about development and social change has brought about renewed interest in the use of nuclear power as one of the sources of electrical energy. The nuclear power industry has had a few decades of low activity due to previous accidents which turned the public perception against the use of nuclear as an electrical power source. The low activity has resulted in the shortage of nuclear skills as the skill previously available is now aged and about to reach retirement.
The South African Government has recently announced its commitment to having nuclear in the energy mix. This will require construction of new nuclear power plants. This research arises from the need to understand whether the required human capital will be available, looking specifically at technician level in the nuclear energy industry.
The main research goal of the study was to find what training and development initiatives are currently being used in industry and what needs to be in place to ensure that the industry is ready for the nuclear new-build. The researcher than proposes training and development initiatives that should be put in place to meet the demand that will be created by the nuclear new-build.Thesis (MSc (Engineering Sciences in Nuclear Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of dispatchable renewable energies like biomass, geothermal and reservoir hydro technologies into an electrical network present no greater challenge than the integration of conventional power technologies for which are well understood by Eskom engineers. However, renewable energies that are based on resources that fluctuate throughout the day and from season to season, like wind and solar, introduce a number of challenges that Eskom engineers have not dealt with before.
It is current practice for Eskom‟s generation to follow the load in order to balance the demand and supply. Through Eskom‟s load dispatching desk at National Control, generator outputs are adjusted on an hourly basis with balancing reserves making up only a small fraction of the total generation.
Through the Integrated Resource Plan for Electricity of 2010, the Department of Energy has set some targets towards integrating renewable energy, including wind and solar generation, into the South African electricity market consequently introducing variability on the supply side.
With demand that varies continually, maintaining a steady balance between supply and demand is already a challenging task. When the supply also becomes variable and less certain with the introduction of non-dispatchable renewable energy, the task becomes even more challenging.
The aim of this research study is to determine whether the resources that previously helped to balance the variability in demand will still be adequate to balance variability in both demand and supply. The study will only concentrate on variable or non-dispatchable renewable energies as will be added to the South African electrical network according to the first two rounds of the Department of Energy‟s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme.
This research study only looks into the balancing challenge and does not go into an analysis of voltage stability or network adequacy, both of which warrant in depth analysis.Thesis (MIng (Development and Management Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 132-135).Integrated resource planning aims to fulfil electricity requirements with supply and demand resources. Least cost resources are optimised as supply expansions compete with measures to modify the load in meeting energy services. A demand side study is conducted to determine representative load profiles for electricity use within South Africa. Analysis of electricity consumption us in g load profiles of each sector ' s end-use electrical loads is essential for determining the appropriate supply technologies as well as the impact of demand side management and energy efficiency measures . A supply side study considers all existing and future power generation options required for expected electricity growth and system load characteristics. Energy model, TIMES, provides time-slices for adequate load profile representation TIMES is a Partial Dynamic Equilibrium Model as constraints are placed on the investment, usage and availability of technologies. All optimisations are for the least cost to the system. Demand and supply options are integrated into a single plan using the TIMES model and the supply expansion plan is changed when demand reduction targets are achieved using DSM and EE. The base case us in g a business-as-usual approach is compared with a low and medium impact DSM and EE scenario. Demand resources are estimated from the industrial, commercial and residential economic sectors. The scope of the plan is 22 years and there is full utilisation of all existing supply capacity with small amounts of decommissioning. Mothballed power stations are recommissioned initially. Peak-load plants are needed from 2007 and OCGT are selected using natural gas or LNG. Intermediate-load capacity is needed by 2011 using CCGT. Base-load capacity demands are met using new coal PF power stations in 2014. FBC stations using discard coal begin operation in 2016. The capacity expansion plan anticipates 2. 93GW of OCGT, 2.5 GW of CCGT, 7. 2GW of coal PF, 2. 8 GW of FBC plants and 2 GW of pump storage stations to be in use by 2020. Imported hydroelectric capacity of0.9 G W and PBMR capacity of3 GW is expected to be commissioned by 2024. Approximately 4 % less installed capacity is needed when a medium impact DSM and EE strategy is implemented. The marginal cost of energy gradually increases from 0. 06 R/kWh in 2002 to 0. 175 R/kWh in 2016 and to 0.325 R/kWh in 2024 as supply capacity is added. Compound load profiles from all national electricity usage provide an effective means whereby appropriate supply technologies are selected whilst incorporating load modifications due to DSM and EE.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD. (Education )) - Central University of Technology, Free State, 2013Human Resource Development is receiving increased attention as organizations seek performance gains from their workforces during challenging economic times, as well as a measure of compliance with the Skills Development Levies Acts (1998 & 1999) and the subsequent National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS). Organisations are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate how well they perform and to provide plans for their future improvement. The Free State Department of Basic Education (FSDoBE) is one public sector organisation which has embarked on aligning its human resource development strategies with the current developments as they present themselves in the labour market and as per NSDS requirements. In this research study, the construct of an integrated human resource development plan is challenged mainly along two lines: how office-based educators’ training needs assist to determine the model of an integrated HRD plan; and how the impact of the developed integrated HRD plan will assist with the heightened job performance of office-based educators. The effectiveness of job performance by office-based educators will consequently serve as a route to improved learner results in schools. The delivery of quality education and training is one of the most important endeavours for the restoration of the culture of teaching and learning. The human resource development of office-based educators is therefore seen as an essential part for promoting the delivery of education and improving learners’ performance in schools. An essential part of developing an integrated HRD plan for office-based educators is typically with performance management process, which is the tool the FSDoBE has to use to meet its overall goals, and is directly dependent upon the ability of office-based educators to perform effectively in the management and delivery of services to schools. In order to successfully develop an integrated HRD plan, the literature overview on human resource development and performance management was presented. xvii Human resource development plans have been studied and implemented in various organizations, but not adequately explored in the FSDoBE to surface possible specific performance challenges. This study addresses this performance gaps by introducing an integrated HRD plan from the perspectives of various job ranks of office-based educators. It identifies gaps in the perceptions of office-based educators concerning performance management as conducted through the appraisal tool for office-based educators, the Performance Management and Development system (PMDS), and identifies steps in the development of an integrated HRD plan, concluding with lessons for practice. The data gathered through the literature study, questionnaires and interviews assisted the researcher to analyse and interpret the data and come up with the findings and conclude on the model of an integrated HRD plan for office-based educators. The questionnaires were administered to 60 office-based educators across their ranks (SESs, DCESs and CESs) and all 60 questionnaires were returned. The questionnaires and interviews were administered in the three education districts. The interviews were conducted to supplement the questionnaire data in order to gather rich responses from the participants. The data from corresponding questionnaire questions and interview questions was grouped together to correspond with the key research questions so as to provide the rich data as required by the research study. The key findings were that office-based educators have the desire to play a significant role in their job performance and that they need empowerment, resources and leadership to guide them in their daily duties. The analysis and interpretation of the data gathered further assisted the researcher to develop an integrated HRD plan as presented in Table 7.1 and as stated by the title of this research. The evidence of the narrative incidents with office-based educators suggest that the development of an integrated HRD plan will provide a useful research tool for those wishing to study the design and use of HRD plans in the future, as it gives a xviii holistic overview to be taken in the process and makes the development of an integrated plan a feasible task for the researcher. According to the model of the proposed integrated HRD plan, it requires a new way of thinking and interacting amongst district sections, and it should be regarded as a step forward to improved office-based educators’ development and subsequent influence on school-based educators’ knowledge and skills, and for improved learner performance in the schools.

The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) is an operational process by which these concerns as well as other policy goals are addressed. This is done with the aim of providing a long-term plan for the electricity sector. The current modelling approach used in the IRP is unable to quantify the effects on various policy goals that the plan is likely to have. This thesis uses a CGE model to analyse the plan in terms of some of these policy goals in an attempt to fill this analytical gap. The base case, revised balanced and policy-adjusted scenarios are simulated in the E-SAGE model developed by Arndt et al. (2008).

The recent reform of potable water service provisioning by means of the promulgation of the Water Services Act 108 of 1997 and the National Water Act 36 of 1998 in South Africa has started a process of addressing the imbalance that existed in regard to how the national resource was being distributed. Water is now recognised as a scarce resource that belongs to all the people of the country. Consequently, it should be managed in an integrated way for social and economic development – including future growth (Fuggle & Rabie, 2005:293; Reimann, Chimboza & Fubesi, 2012:446).
What is required is an attitude that incorporates a sensitivity in the careful cognisance and management of ―the aggregate of surrounding objects, conditions, and influences that impact on the life and habits of man, or any other organism or collection of organisms (South Africa, 1989).
The provision of potable water by water services authorities (WSAs) is an important basic service that faces a number of challenges, such as the use of an outdated infrastructure, the lack of skilled and knowledgeable people, improper planning, and the booming population that places overt pressure on the demand for service delivery.
This study was, therefore, undertaken to investigate how a municipality – which is forced to obtain its potable water supply from nearby surface and groundwater catchments, could manage this supply in a more effective, efficient, equitable, economic and sustainable manner by means of improved co-operative governance and intergovernmental relations. The key motivation was thus to develop a plan that would manage water resources more effectively on strategic, tactical and operational levels within government structures and to assist in realising integrated water resources management (IWRM).
The proposed plan could be used to develop a shared vision for the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality (Dr KKDM) municipal area of responsibility; and to provide an overview of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats regarding the management of water resources.
A qualitative research design was used to conduct the study, which included a literature review, semi-structured interviews, data sampling and scientific analysis of responses. Furthermore, a case-study approach was followed by the researcher, with Dr KKDM as the unit of analysis (the locus).Thesis (Ph.D. (Public Management and Governance))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

No actual contexto empresarial, com uma competitividade e complexidade dos mercados crescente, o marketing tem ganho uma grande relevância na direcção e desenvolvimento das empresas, independentemente do sector onde actuem. As áreas da geriatria e dos serviços de saúde não são excepção, apesar de por vezes nas pequenas e médias empresas, não estarem claramente identificadas todas as políticas e estratégias de marketing que deverão pautar as decisões a tomar. Toma-se então não só importante, como de extrema necessidade, que tal como as decisões financeiras, também as decisões de marketing sejam tomadas de forma explícita e estratégica, de forma que se clarifique no interior da organização o rumo a seguir. Este trabalho irá incidir sobre o marketing de uma empresa que desenvolve a sua actividade num ramo de negócio emergente em Portugal, os Cuidados Continuados Integrados e as Residências Assistidas, tendo como objectivo a sustentabilidade e expansão da organização. Como acontece com a maior parte das empresas de pequena dimensão, a L Nostrum S.A. não dispõe de um plano de marketing, sendo de extrema importância que se proceda à elaboração e implementação de um projecto desta natureza Assim, a proposta que aqui se apresenta têm como objectivo central o desenvolvimento de um plano de marketing de curto prazo para a empresa L Nostrum S.A. ABSTRACT: ln the actual business context, with growmg market competitiveness and complexity, marketing has been getting higher relevance in company development, regardless the sector in which these companies operate. The areas of geriatrics and healthcare aren't an exception, although sometimes in some SME's the marketing strategies that shall regulate some of the company's decisions, aren't clearly defined. So, it becomes not only important, as a dire need, that, just like financial decisions, also marketing decisions, are made in an explicit and strategic way, so it becomes clear the path that the organization should follow. This work will focus on the marketing campaign of a company which acts on a business branch emerging in Portugal, the Integrated Continuous Care and Assisted Living Facilities, having as its objective the sustainability and expansion of this organization. Like most small companies, L Nostrum S.A., does not have a marketing plan, being of extreme significance the elaboration and implementation of a project of this nature. So, the proposal here presented has as its main objective the development of a short term marketing plan for the company L Nostrum S.A.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe need for tools and technologies for understanding and quantifying invasive species has never been greater. Rates of infestation vary on the species or organism being examined across the United States, and notable examples can be found. For example, from 2001 to 2003 alone, ash (Fraxinus spp.) mortality progressed at a rate of 12.97 km year −1 (Siegert et al. 2014), and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is expected to increase dominance on 14% of Great Basin rangelands (Boyte et al. 2016). The magnitude and scope of problems that invasive species present suggest novel approaches for detection and management are needed, especially those that enable more cost-effective solutions. The advantages of using technologically advanced approaches and tools are numerous, and the quality and quantity of available information can be significantly enhanced by their use. They can also play a key role in development of decision-support systems; they are meant to be integrated with other systems, such as inventory and monitoring, because often the tools are applied after a species of interest has been detected and a threat has been identified. In addition, the inventory systems mentioned in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-45367-1_10 are regularly used in calibrating and validating models and decision-support systems. For forested areas, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data are most commonly used (e.g., Václavík et al. 2015) given the long history of the program. In non-forested systems, national inventory datasets have not been around as long (see Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-45367-1_10), but use of these data to calibrate and validate spatial models is growing. These inventory datasets include the National Resources Inventory (NRI) (e.g., Duniway et al. 2012) and the Assessment Inventory and Monitoring program (AIM) (e.g., McCord et al. 2017). Similarly, use of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) database is growing as well (e.g., Evangelista et al. 2017). The consistent protocols employed by these programs prove valuable for developing better tools, but the data they afford are generally limited for some tools because the sampling intensity is too low.

AbstractWater is the medium through which society experiences the most dramatic and direct manifestations of climate change. At the same time, water has a critical role to play in climate change adaptation and is central towards achieving Africa Water Vision 2025, and the targets set for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Kenya Vision 2030. There are fundamental challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve sustainable water resources management, mainly, the inherent uncertainty associated with the changing climate, the inflexibility in infrastructure and institutions that manage water, and the poor integration of all stakeholders and sectors in water resources management. This study investigates the challenges and opportunities in implementing integrated water resources management and its critical role towards climate change adaptation. A preliminary assessment of sustainable management of water resources and its role in effective climate change adaptation and resilience building in Kenya is carried out through questionnaire survey and stakeholder interactions. Climate change-induced uncertainty, diminishing water sources aggravated by growing water demand, weak institutional and financial governance, and lack of transparency and stakeholder inclusiveness are identified as the main challenging factors that need to be addressed to build a climate resilient society. The study furthermore emphasizes the critical role of water management in achieving Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMunicipal solid waste (MSW) generated in developing countries usually contains a high percentage of organic material. When not properly managed, organic waste is known for creating many environmental issues. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, soil and water contamination, and air pollution are a few examples. On the other hand, proper and sustainable management of organic waste can not only bring economic gains but also reduce the waste volume that is sent for final disposal. Composting is one such recovery method, in which the end product – compost – eventually helps the agricultural industry, and other sectors, making the process an excellent example of nexus thinking in integrated management of environmental resources. The aim of this chapter is to discuss how Cajicá, a small city in Colombia, approached this issue in a methodical way to eventually became one of the leading organic waste composting examples in the whole world, as recognised by the United Nations Environment Programme in 2017. Cajicá launched a source separation and composting initiative called Green Containers Program (GCP) in 2008, based on a successful pilot project conducted in 2005. The organic waste separated at source collected from households, commercial entities, schools, and universities are brought to a privately operated composting plant chosen by the city to produce compost. The compost plant sells compost to the agricultural sector. The participants in the GCP could also receive a bag of compost every 2 months as a token of appreciation. The Cajicá case presents us with many lessons of good practice, not only in the sustainable management of waste but also in stakeholder engagement. It specifically shows how stakeholders should be brought together for long-lasting collaboration and the benefits to society. Finding the correct business model for the project, efforts made in educating the future generation, and technology adaptation to local conditions are also seen as positive experiences that others can learn from in the case of Cajicá’s GCP. Some of the concerns and potential threats observed include the high dependency GCP has on two institutions: the programme financially depends completely on the municipality, and the composting operation depends completely on one private facility. GCP will benefit from having contingency plans to reduce the risk of having these high dependencies.

<em>Abstract.</em>—The red drum <em>Sciaenops ocellatus </em>is a popular sport fish from the mid-Atlantic through the Gulf of Mexico. Historical data show that this species supported substantial commercial as well as recreational fisheries. On the Atlantic Coast, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) has designated this fish as “over-harvested” requiring all coastal states to implement fishery restrictions. Regulations from North Carolina to Florida range from one fish to five fish per day within a narrow slot length limit. Unlike many states, South Carolina (SC) has implemented a multifaceted management approach involving regular monitoring of subadults and adults, strict regulations, and evaluation of stocking red drum. To provide a fishery independent assessment of the population, an inshore monitoring program for subadults was begun in 1991, and in 1994, an offshore monitoring component focused on the adult segment of the population was added. This latter population segment is the focus of the ASMFC’s Fishery Management Plan. The first regulations in SC were established in 1986, and in 2001, regulations were amended for the seventh time to make them the strictest ever. In an effort to explore all management options, a research effort was initiated in 1988 to examine the potential for increasing abundance using stocked fish. Based on encouraging research findings, this program was expanded in 2002 to a statewide demonstration scale effort involving three estuarine systems. These systems were stocked with a total of 1.8 million marked fish in fall, 2002. Stocking project components integrate fishery dependent and independent sampling to assess biological implications and social and economic aspects are being added to provide a broad overview of impacts. Through this integrated approach of fishery and population monitoring, landings restrictions, and stocking of fish, it is hoped that red drum abundance can be increased more rapidly than by using traditional management techniques alone.

The Strategic Plan Document 2001- 2010 includes a goal for the university to be fully wired through ICT in enhancing research, extension work, professional service, strengthening teaching and learning environment and enhancing the culture of ICT in supporting teaching and learning. Two strategies were drawn; namely (i) implement the use of one learning management system (LMS) and (ii) enhance competency of academic staff in using the LMS. It has been a practice that each faculty decides on a platform for implementing e-Learning. However, the use of various LMSs had created difficulties in the sharing of integrated database, continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of the e-Learning system, and depository of e-Learning resources in the UPM’s knowledge repository. This paper reports on UPM’s experience in adapting the use of LMS from the early 1990s until today.

Strategic planning is a matter of mapping the route between the perceived present circumstances and the desired future situation. Strategic management adapts higher education institutions (HEI) to their environment including educational policy, local demand for skilled labor, and other factors. The purpose of HEIs is to positively affect the development of society and the local community. The balanced scorecard approach developed by Kaplan and Norton (2001, 2004, 2006) is a framework for the communication and implementation of the strategy. The approach creates a shared understanding of the strategic plan by describing the plan using strategy maps, strategic objectives, measures and target values for the planning period (Niven, 2005). The balanced scorecard approach can be combined with other approaches and management tools. The purpose of this article is to report on a development project where the balanced scorecard approach was applied in the management information system MIS) of an HEI. The MIS integrates the different approaches of management into human resources (HR) planning. It is important that the balanced scorecard approach is supported by the MIS. This is especially critical in large organizations. Many administrative units and organizational levels emphasize the importance of automation enabling management to consistently aggregate the scorecards of lower organizational levels to the overall scorecard. The MIS with a portal is a valuable communication channel, information processor, management tool and the joint memory of the organization. The empirical part of the article describes the MIS of the Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS), where the MIS is based on strategic management and the balanced scorecard approach. The system integrates budgeting, action plans, HR planning and quality management. The data warehouse approach is used to capture data from the diverse source systems and to store the data in an integrated database. An MIS portal was developed to support the management process and be open to the personnel of the institution. The portal supports the dialogue and commitment of the personnel to the strategic outlines. The portal is open to management and the personnel of the institution.

Full textAbstract:
Straddling the Arctic Circle on the Chukchi Sea, the Northwest Alaska Native Association (NANA) region constitutes the boundaries of the Northwest Arctic Borough (NWAB), and has a population of about 7,600 people. The high cost of energy in the NANA region is one of the leading threats to the long term sustainability and well-being of the region. As a result of complex and lengthy logistics, the region has some of the highest energy prices in the nation. In addition to the cost of fossil fuels, NANA region residents are increasingly aware of the effects of greenhouse gases on climate change and the resulting coastal erosion along the Chukchi Sea. NANA Regional Corporation, along with other regional stakeholders, has developed a regional integrated energy plan. This approach includes community specific energy options analyses, benefit-cost analyses of competing alternatives, analysis of available literature and past experiences, surveying of professional opinion, and a regional energy summit that involved multiple stakeholders. Since the mid-1990s, the NANA region has been an Alaska leader in promoting and developing renewable energy resources with wind turbine installations in Kotzebue and Selawik. Promising wind energy potential is under investigation in several more communities, and other known energy resources being studied include geothermal, small-scale hydropower, and a substantial biomass potential in the upper Kobuk River area. Also under investigation are stranded natural gas sources and even solar PV installations for some communities. Energy security in the region will be achieved by a combination of infrastructure improvement and development of appropriate energy technologies, both traditional and renewable. It is the vision of NANA region stakeholders to be 75% reliant on regionally available energy resources for heating and electric generation purposes by the year 2030, and to decrease the need for transportation fuel imported into the region by 50% by the year 2030. As part of this vision, imported fossil fuels would remain as emergency/back-up fuel only. With proper planning, a synergy can be developed between different energy sources and uses, with the composition of the optimal ‘energy-mix’ custom-tailored for each community in the NANA region. The energy planning process will be conducted with the understanding that the optimum mix may change over time.

This paper discusses the potential for algal biofuel production under resource-limited conditions in Texas. Algal biomass and lipid production quantities are estimated using a fully integrated biological and engineering model that incorporates primary resources required for growth, such as carbon dioxide, sunlight and water. The biomass and lipid production are estimated at the county resolution in Texas, which accounts for geographic variation in primary resources from the Eastern half of the state, which has moderate solar resources and abundant water resources, to the Western half of the state, which has abundant solar resources and moderate water resources. Two resource-limited scenarios are analyzed in this paper: the variation in algal biomass production as a function of carbon dioxide concentration and as a function of water availability. The initial carbon dioxide concentration, ranging from low concentrations in ambient air to higher concentrations found in power plant flue gas streams, affects the growth rate and production of algal biomass. The model compares biomass production using carbon dioxide available from flue gas or refinery activities, which are present only in a limited number of counties, with ambient concentrations found in the atmosphere. Biomass production is also estimated first for counties containing terrestrial sources of water such as wastewater and/or saline aquifers, and compared with those with additional water available from the Gulf of Mexico. The results of these analyses are presented on a series of maps depicting algal biomass and lipid production in gallons per year under each of the resource-limited scenarios. Based on the analysis, between 13.9 and 154.1 thousand tons of algal biomass and 1.0 and 11.1 million gallons of lipids can be produced annually.

As part of its strategic plan 2014–2018 Pemex Exploration and Production (PEP) has decided to modify the organizational structure in order to change from a function based structure to a new one based in process, supported on three fundamental axes: People, Processes and Technology. On this direction, it has been assigned to the Technical Resources Management Vice-presidency the responsibility to implement a strategy that will enable to improve performance into the Assets of the Marine Region. This paper presents the experiences and achievements reached by implementing the strategy of “Integrated Production Management by Processes” which goal is to create and implement a management model that will contribute to the optimization of the Asset performance, integrating through the people, management processes, workflows and information and communication technologies. The “Integrated Production Management by Processes” model, is based on five elements that work integrated and coordinated way; these are: • Organizational issues. • Work methodologies. • Information management. • Monitoring key performance indicators (KPI). • Production costs management The proposal on this paper is based on developing a business process management methodology for PEMEX, by applying the 5 elements of the model to measure current performance of the production assets in order to find the existing gaps between the current management model and the Integrated Production Management by Processes and implement an action plan to close those gaps. In order to homologate and standardize the measurements in PEMEX’s assets, a Capability Maturity Model was developed according to the ISO 9004-2010 and Mexican Standard NMX-CC-9004-IMNC-2009. The maturity model allows weighting each one of the 5 elements into 5 dimensionless levels. The lowest level 1 means that the asset is in the initial stage and it has the Vision of a Functional Management; on the other hand, the highest level 5 means that asset has implemented the new model and has reached a Sustainable Management. To implement the Integrated Production Management by Processes, assets need to demonstrate that Level 4 has been reached.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract As host authority for all hydrocarbon resources in Malaysia, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) has championed Asset Value Framing (AVF) since 2016 to facilitate identification of asset enhancing opportunities and to establish a roadmap for opportunity realization. This paper is the continuation of the previous paper (SPE-196486) which illustrated opportunity identification through AVF. In 2019, PETRONAS had embarked on benchmarking oil reservoirs for all Malaysian oil reservoirs which was used for the AVF process to improve economic recovery factor of an oil field and booking new contingent resources. This paper focuses on enhanced AVF approach to integrate subsurface, wells, surface and operations; coupled with recommended improvements to AVF process from lookback exercise, reservoir performance assessment, data analytic through reservoir benchmarking tool and assessment of analogue reservoirs. A case study will be shared from one of the largest oilfields in Sarawak wherein enhanced AVF approach was applied to unlock significant potential of which conventional techniques faced challenges in identifying opportunities. Field B consists of multi-layered depositional system with numerous fault-bounded accumulation areas. Benchmarking process was performed for each of reservoir units to estimate the potential recovery factor and degree of complexity. In reservoirs where current estimates of recovery factor were lower than the benchmark, these were screened to be considered for identification of new opportunities through AVF process. Additionally, benchmarking process was applied to evaluate optimal well spacing, need for secondary recovery and identification of potential challenges for future development planning. A paradigm shift was undertaken to AVF process itself whereby focused development plan was considered for the entire column of rock within every fault block - instead of chasing oil by reservoirs. This subsequently allowed an integrated approach to optimize well type and cost, infill and water injection well count, completion design and overall evacuation strategy. Application of reservoir benchmarking significantly improved the delivery of AVF process by identification of recovery gaps in the field and application of learnings from better performing reservoirs. This coupled with Enhanced AVF workflow approach of focused development plan has resulted a roadmap for Field B to achieve ultimate recovery factor of 40% through a number of potential development opportunities within the next few years. An enhanced AVF workflow coupled with benchmarking process has facilitated field potential evaluation within two months, leading to efficient decision making, resource accrual and value creation for all stakeholders. This workflow can be replicated to other fields, maximizing economic reserves, increasing asset value, and defining the development roadmap.

Immediately, the >1 billion barrel Liza field began on its path from discovery to development. Following the Liza-1 discovery, ExxonMobil and the Stabroek Block co-venturers, Hess Guyana Exploration Limited and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited, undertook a blockwide 3D seismic survey, the largest performed by ExxonMobil at that time, to better delineate the resource potential. Subsequent appraisal drilling built confidence in the performance and connectivity of the reservoir while providing calibration data to inform the development. The initial appraisal well was the "inverted-Y" Liza-2 drilled in early 2016, which comprised an original hole and a sidetrack. A comprehensive evaluation program was implemented with conventional coring of both the original hole and the sidetrack to provide reservoir calibration critical to field development. Furthermore, a production well test was performed on the Liza-2 sidetrack to build confidence in dynamic performance and connectivity assumptions. The Liza-3 appraisal was then drilled down dip of the Liza-1 and −2 to confirm static connectivity across the field. A scenario modeling and simulation approach was implemented at Liza to capture the full range of plausible realizations that could represent the field. The scenarios were measured against the incoming data (Liza-2 and Liza-3) when acquired, and scenarios with greater alignment to the data continued to be pursued while others were moved to a much lower probability of occurrence. This multi-scenario approach was utilized to develop an integrated reservoir model that allowed for depletion plan optimization across a range of subsurface scenarios within flow assurance constraints, ultimately supporting the final investment decision (FID) for the Liza Phase 1 project in 2017, just 25 months after the Liza-1 discovery. Following FID, advanced, proprietary Full Wavefield Inversion seismic reprocessing and high resolution 4D baseline seismic acquisition and processing have been utilized to enable continued optimization. The path from discovery to development culminated in December 2019 with the commencement of production from Liza Phase 1 less than 5 years after the first deepwater oil discovery in Guyana.

Full textAbstract:
Governance is a difficult task in the context of achieving landscape multifunctionality owing to the multiplicity of stakeholders, institutions, scale and ecosystem services: the ‘many-multiple’ (Cockburn et al 2018). Governing and managing the physical landscape and the actors in the landscape requires intensive knowledge and good planning systems. Land-use planning is a powerful instrument in landscape governance because it directly guides how actors will intervene in the physical landscape (land use) to gain commonly desired value. It is essential for sustaining rural landscapes and improving the livelihoods of rural communities (Bourgoin and Castella 2011, Bourgoin et al 2012, Rydin 1998), ensuring landscape multifunctionality (Nelson et al 2009, Reyers et al 2012) and enhancing efficiency in carbon sequestration, in particular (Bourgoin et al 2013, Cathcart et al 2007). It is also considered critical to the successful implementation of land-based climate mitigation, such as under Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), because the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector is included in the mitigation contributions of nearly 90 percent of countries in Sub-Saharan and Southern Asia countries and in the Latin American and Caribbean regions (FAO 2016). Viet Nam has been implementing its NDC, which includes forestry and land-based mitigation options under the LULUCF sector. The contribution of the sector to committed national emission reduction is significant and cost-effective compared with other sectors. In addition to achieving emission reduction targets, implementation of forestry and land-based mitigation options has the highest benefits for social-economic development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (MONRE 2020). Challenges, however, lie in the way national priorities and targets are translated into sub-national delivery plans and the way sub-national actors are brought together in orchestration (Hsu et al 2019) in a context where the legal framework for climate-change mitigation is elaborated at national rather than sub-national levels and coordination between government bodies and among stakeholders is generally ineffective (UNDP 2018). In many developing countries, conventional ‘top–down’, centralized land-use planning approaches have been widely practised, with very little success, a result of a lack of flexibility in adapting local peculiarities (Amler et al 1999, Ducourtieux et al 2005, Kauzeni et al 1993). In forest–agriculture mosaic landscapes, the fundamental question is how land-use planning can best conserve forest and agricultural land, both as sources of economic income and environmental services (O’Farrell and Anderson 2010). This paper provides guidance on monitoring integrated tree-based landscape management at commune level, based on the current legal framework related to natural resource management (land and forest) and the requirements of national green-growth development and assessment of land uses in two communes in Dien Bien and Son La provinces. The concept of integrated tree based landscape management in Viet Nam is still new and should be further developed for wider application across levels.
