Abstract:
The internationalization of the curriculum (IoC) has been a significant trend in higher education across the globe. However, there is a dearth of literature on this area of research in the Arab countries, including the Omani higher education context. As the key definition and conceptual frameworks of IoC have not been adopted in Omani higher education institutions (HEI), this qualitative study examined lecturers’ understanding of IoC in the Omani higher education context. This was carried out through the employment of the typology of IoC which was proposed by Edwards et al. (2003). To collect data, eight lecturers in an Omani university were interviewed and the thematic analysis of the data revealed that academic staff perceived IoC as important to the institution. Further, the study reported that there are fragmented IoC practices that are primarily based on the ad hoc practices of academic staff. Initiatives should be taken to develop a shared understanding of IoC at the institutional level and in all degree programs in the Omani higher education context. Some suggestions are brought forward for stakeholders to support IoC and help to ensure the quality of degree programs offered.

Abstract:
The Internationalization of the Curriculum (IoC) has become a more important focus in higher tourism education in recent years. However, despite several studies, its key definitions and dominant conceptual frameworks have not been adopted by the tourism education literature. Therefore, this qualitative study extends the current understanding of IoC in higher tourism education from lecturers’ perspective by applying the key definitions and dominant conceptual frameworks from the IoC literature (Leask, 2001; 2009; 2011; 2013a; 2013b; 2015; Leask & Bridge, 2013). The study provides further insights into how IoC is perceived in action in the context of tourism education in a non-English speaking European country: Finland. The findings reveal that IoC in Finnish higher tourism education is still fragmented and based on ad hoc practices. Conversation should be initiated to develop shared understanding and to answer the questions about IoC at the institutional and degree program level. A number of suggestions are made for the program managers and lecturers to support them in evaluating the current state of IoC and help them to ensure the competitiveness of the degree programs.

Abstract:
The article considers the prospects of Ukraine’s cooperation with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO in the scope of the forthcoming United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. According to the resolution adopted on the 72nd Session of the UN General Assembly, the Decade is to begin on January 1, 2021 and take place within the existing structures and available resources. The purpose of the Decade is to implement the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals, namely “Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC), maintained by Member States, facilitates international cooperation and the coordination of programs to deepen knowledge about the nature and resources of the oceans and coastal areas. The IOC is currently finalizing draft implementation plan for the Decade (2021—2030) in consultation with Member States, specialized agencies, funds, programs and bodies of the United Nations, as well as other intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations and relevant stakeholders with the aim to identify specific objectives, crosscutting issues and key Decade`s themes. Ukraine’s membership in the IOC UNESCO is strategically focused on expanding international cooperation of domestic scientific and educational institutions by ensuring their participation in the program activities of the organization. There should be only one national coordinating body for liaison with the Commission within each IOC member state. Unfortunately, in Ukraine there is no such legitimate coordinating body today. Considering the intergovernmental character of the Commission, this officially designated body is governmental by nature and relies on institutional basis as well as answers directly to a ministry. Therefore, in accordance with the requirements of the IOC UNESCO it is necessary to establish the Interdepartmental National Oceanographic Commission as a national coordinating body in Ukraine that will determine one or two coordinators, a professional national correspondent in the relevant IOC field, as well as representatives of intergovernmental programs and thematic groups.

Abstract:
Purpose The introduction of “should cost” in 2011 required all Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) to create efficiencies and improvements to reduce a program’s “will-cost” estimate. Realistic “will-cost” estimates are a necessary condition for the “should cost” analysis to be effectively implemented. Owing to the inherent difficulties in establishing a program’s will-cost estimate, this paper aims to propose a new model to infuse realism into this estimate. Design/methodology/approach Using historical data from 73 Departments of Defense programs as recorded in the selected acquisition reports (SARs), the analysis uses mixed stepwise regression to predict a program’s cost from Milestone B (MS B) to initial operational capability (IOC). Findings The presented model explains 83 per cent of the variation in the program acquisition cost. Significant predictor variables include: projected duration (months from MS B to IOC); the amount of research development test and evaluation (RDT&E) funding spent at the start of MS B; whether the program is considered a fixed-wing aircraft; whether a program is considered an electronic system program; whether a program is considered ACAT I at MS B; and the program size relative to the total program’s projected acquisition costs at MS B. Originality/value The model supports the “will-cost and should-cost” requirement levied in 2011 by providing an objective and defensible cost for what a program should actually cost based on what has been achieved in the past. A quality will-cost estimate provides a starting point for program managers to examine processes and find efficiencies that lead to reduced program costs.

Abstract:
By referring to criteria established by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for including sports in the Olympic Games and considering the maturation of the sports movement for the disabled, it is reasonable to conclude that certain sports reserved exclusively for the disabled can be made eligible for inclusion in the Olympic Games as medal events. A confounding factor in pursuit of inclusion in the Olympic Games is the uncritical willingness of the established international sports organizations for the disabled to amalgamate in order to communicate as a single voice with the IOC. Created in the process is a formal institutionalization of sports programs for the disabled. Despite invitations to stage demonstration events in recent Olympic Games, sports organizations have failed to take measures necessary to qualify for full integration into the Olympic movement. Reorganization is called for on the basis of versions of sports that would lend themselves to integration.

Abstract:
Abstract Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) Programs in Canada have been developed for the pulp and paper and metal mining industries. The EEM Program conducts cyclical evaluations of receiving environments to determine whether effects exist when facilities comply with existing regulations. Investigation of cause (IOC) is a specific stage in the EEM Program that is used after environmental effects in fish and/or benthos have been detected, confirmed and their extent and magnitude have been documented. This paper presents an overview of the processes associated with this phase of monitoring. The objective of an IOC is to obtain sufficient information so that the source of the effect can be identified and removed, or its effects reduced to an acceptable level. The initial direction of an IOC is dependent upon the type of response patterns observed for fish and/or benthos during EEM cycles and extent/magnitude studies. The framework presented in this paper is based on an amalgamation of research projects conducted at Canadian pulp mills over the last decade and selected studies are summarized as examples. It also represents an integration of several research philosophies and scientific disciplines. The framework is based on national response patterns from the second cycle of pulp and paper EEM studies. IOCs are directed into either an eutrophication-based investigation or a contaminant-based investigation (including metabolic disruption in fish). The framework is constructed with a progression of investigative levels designed to provide more information on the causative factors. Each of these phases also represents a decision point for stakeholders to determine if sufficient information has been attained about the causal factor(s) and whether the IOC should be concluded. It is expected that the framework will evolve with a growing knowledge base of causal factors, as facilities enter into this phase of the EEM Program.

Abstract:
Background: Injury and illness surveillance, and epidemiological studies, are fundamental elements of concerted efforts to protect the health of the athlete. To encourage consistency in the definitions and methodology used, and to enable data across studies to be compared, research groups have published 11 sport- or setting-specific consensus statements on sports injury (and, eventually, illnesses) epidemiology to date. Objective: To further strengthen consistency in data collection, injury definitions, and research reporting through an updated set of recommendations for sports injury and illness studies, including a new Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist extension. Study Design: Consensus statement of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Methods: The IOC invited a working group of international experts to review relevant literature and provide recommendations. The procedure included an open online survey, several stages of text drafting and consultation by working groups, and a 3-day consensus meeting in October 2019. Results: This statement includes recommendations for data collection and research reporting covering key components: defining and classifying health problems, severity of health problems, capturing and reporting athlete exposure, expressing risk, burden of health problems, study population characteristics, and data collection methods. Based on these, we also developed a new reporting guideline as a STROBE extension—the STROBE Sports Injury and Illness Surveillance (STROBE-SIIS). Conclusion: The IOC encourages ongoing in- and out-of-competition surveillance programs and studies to describe injury and illness trends and patterns, understand their causes, and develop measures to protect the health of the athlete. The implementation of the methods outlined in this statement will advance consistency in data collection and research reporting.

Abstract:
Brazil faces a challenge to develop biomonitoring tools to be used in water quality assessment programs, but few multimetric indices were developed so far. This study is part of an effort to test and implement programs using benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators in Rio de Janeiro State. Our aim was first to test the Multimetric Index for Serra dos Órgãos (SOMI) for a different area - Serra da Bocaina (SB) - in the same ecoregion. We sampled 27 streams of different sizes and altitudes in the SB region. Despite the environmental similarities, results indicated biological differences between reference sites of the two regions. Considering these differences, we decided to develop an index specific for the SB region, the Serra da Bocaina Multimetric Index (MISB). We tested twenty-two metrics for sensitivity to impairment and redundancy, and six metrics were considered valid to integrate the MISB: Family Richness, Trichoptera Richness, % Coleoptera, % Diptera, IBE-IOC index, EPT / Chironomidae ratio. A test of the MISB in eleven sites indicated it was more related to land-use and water physico-chemical parameters than with altitude or stream width, being a useful tool for the monitoring and assessment of streams in the bioregion.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to present the Croatian dual career system (DC) and observe its implementation in secondary schools that provide DC special conditions and support. The participants of this study are 54 student-athletes (31 female and 23 male), who are representatives of three secondary schools that were partners in the project “Sinergy of Sports Culture, Olympic Value and DC for Young Athletes”, supported by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the European Olympic Committee (EOC) programs (2019). Despite the mandatory flexibility in education, 55.56% athletes confirmed that they had faced the problem of balancing between school and sports commitments. The majority of athletes (57.41%) trained every day, while 33.33% athletes trained several times a day. This study confirmed that student-athletes got most help and support on DC from family (83.33%) and coaches (9.26%). Monitoring the implementation of DC special conditions and support services designed specifically for athletes could be more successful.

Resumo: A proposta desta tese é desenvolver uma metodologia de avaliação de impactos de programas de P &O que incorpore a análise das capacitações e dos spinoffs - resultados que não eram previstos nos objetivos do programa. A metodologia desenvolvida é aplicada em um programa de P &D de um instituto de pesquisa agrícola: o Programa de melhoramento genético da cana-de-açúcar do Instituto Agronômico (PROCANA). O intuito é contribuir para a compreensão do processo de transformação dos conhecimentos e capacitações (gerados nos programas de P&D) em resultados econômicos. O resultado mais claro da P&D é a inovação diretamente relacionada aos objetivos iniciais do programa, cuja difusão gera muitos impactos econômicos. O resultado mais "obscuro", mas não menos importante, da P&D é a aplicação das capacitações e dos conhecimentos gerados e aprendidos durante o programa para equacionar outros objetivos (externos ao escopo do programa). Estes produtos obscuros, que constituem os resultados indiretos da pesquisa, geram relevantes impactos econômicos, os quais podem e devem ser mensurados para que se possa avaliar a real importância do investimento em P&D. A metodologia de avaliação aqui proposta é composta de um conjunto de três metodologias. Duas delas são desenvolvidas na tese: uma para identificar e mensurar a criação ou aprofundamento de capacitações nos participantes de um programa de P&O, e outra para mapear os fluxos e transformações do conhecimento durante a execução de tal programa e os spinoffs gerados nesse processo. Ademais, os impactos econômicos do programa são quantificados através da metodologia criada pelo Bureau d'Economie Théorique et Apliquée (BETA). As três metodologias são complementares e se interligam formando uma ferramenta capaz de avaliar os impactos econômicos do programa de P&O, as capacitações criadas e o processo de geração dos spinoffs. A aplicação dessa ferramenta ao PROCANA mostrou que este programa gerou impactos bastante altos tanto na criação de capacitações quanto na parte econômica. O PROCANA foi responsável pela criação de seis spinoffs, os quais geraram um impacto econômico 51 vezes maior que o impacto econômico da inovação principal. A metodologia desenvolvida foi capaz de criar a ponte entre competências e resultado econômico, de tal forma que foi possível indicar quanto do impacto econômico foi devido às capacitações geradas pelo programa. O mapeamento das conversões do conhecimento na criação dos spinoffs lançou algumas luzes sobre os fatores que contribuem para o surgimento desse fenômeno. A proximidade do instituto de pesquisa (IAC) com os usuários da sua tecnologia foi o principal fator gerador do impulso inicial para a criação dos spinoffs. Outro aspecto que pôde ser observado é que os spinoffs são, sobretudo, novas combinações de conhecimentos já existentes no programa e não a criação de novos conhecimentos. Foi importante também a estratégia do PROCANA de aproveitar as suas capacitações para responder às oportunidades apresentadas pela demanda e, dessa forma, encontrar novas fontes de financiamento
Abstract: This thesis aims at developing a methodology for evaluation of the impacts of R&D programs. This methodology incorporates the analysis of capabilities and spinoffs - results that were not predicted in the objectives of the program. The methodology is applied to an R&D program executed by an agricultural research institute: the sugar-cane breeding program of the Agronomic Institute (PROCANA). The objective is to contribute to the understanding of the transformation of knowledge and capabilities (generated inside R&D programs) into economics results. The clearest result of R&D is the innovation directly related to the initial objectives of the project and whose diffusion generates several economic impacts. The most "obscure" result of R&D (but not less important) is the application of the capabilities and knowledge created and learned during the program to solve other problems (which are external to the scope of the program). These "obscure" products constitute the indirect results of the research. They generate relevant economic impacts, which, in turn, can and must be measured in order to assess the real importance of the investment in R&D. The proposed methodology of evaluation is made of a set of three methodologies. Two of them are developed in the thesis: one to identify and measure the creation or deepening of capabilities among the participants of an R&D program, and the other to map the flow and the transformation of knowledge during the execution of such a program, and also the spinoffs generated in this process. Moreover, the economic impacts of the program are quantified by using the methodology created by the Bureau d'Economie Théorique et Apliquée (BETA) from the University of Strasbourg. The three methodologies are complementary and have links among themselves. Together they form a tool that is able to assess the economic impacts of an R&D program, the capabilities created and the process of generation of spinoffs. The application of this tool to the PROCANA demonstrated that this program generated important impacts, both in the creation of capabilities and in the economic results. The PROCANA was responsible for the creation of six spinoffs, which generated an economic impact that was 51 times larger than the one due to the major innovation. The methodology here developed was able to create the link between competences and economic result, in such way that it was possible to show how much of the economic impact was due to the capabilities generated by the program. The mapping of the knowledge conversion during the process of spinoffs creation shed lights on the factors that contribute to this process. The proximity of the IAC research institute with the users of its technology was the main factor behind the initial impulse for the creation of the spinoffs. Other aspect that could be observed was that the spinoffs are mainly new combinations of knowledge that already existed inside the program, and not the creation of new knowledge. Also important was the PROCANA's strategy of exploiting its capabilities to respond to the opportunities introduced by the market, 50 that it could find new funding sources

How do companies manage and govern external developer platforms? Drawing on platform ecosystem, product management, and IT governance theory a comparison of the developer platform approaches of two technology firms, Akamai, Inc. and Uber Technologies, Inc. is presented. Internal organizational structures and processes are evaluated in combination with external governance mechanism to develop and manage third party partner relations. The case studies test existing IT governance and app developer platform theory with regards to its applicability to platforms for developer products such as APIs. The two teams are analyzed along the dimensions of organizational structure, internal governance process and risk management, external governance and partner relations, as well as KPIs for team steering. A set of key governance mechanisms is identified as success factors for limiting risks around open developer platforms: Internally, API standards and working groups supported by a high degree of interconnectedness support governance and avoid de-acceleration around a company's product development process. Externally, legal agreements around terms of use shift control from the developer to the platform provider. Access limitations can serve as a supporting gatekeeper for access, or punitive penalty in case of violations of agreements. In support of contractual agreements, transparent developer communication around a firm's intended fields of innovation help avoid discords between developer platform providers and its users. Results are discussed.

Abstract:
This study is an outcome evaluation and examines the goals and objectives of the Columbia Community Connections, Inc. Father to Father Men’s Services Program in Decatur, Georgia. The program is also known simply as the Father to Father (FtF) Program. It provides parenting education, peer support and advocacy for fathers. The study was based on the premise that programmatic effectiveness is attributed to the implementation and accomplishment of program goals. The seven program goals were the independent variables and the dependent variable was the effectiveness of the program. A survey was administered to participants in the Father to Father Program via the telephone. Data analysis was done with SPSSWIN. Frequency distribution and analysis of T-test were used to analyze the data. The researcher found that five out of seven program goals were being accomplished effectively. Recommendations were made for the other two program goals. The conclusions from the findings suggest that Father to Father is working towards accomplishing each program goal. The results show high percentages and significant differences in fathers after participation in the program. Increased networking and promotion of the program will ensure the accomplishment of goals that the program is not meeting.

Today more and more physical objects are being connected to internet. The Internet of Things, or loT, is dramatically changing the way of living and the way we interact with things and each other. Home doors can be opened remotely with a watch, cars' performance can be upgraded remotely, devices monitor health and send updates to physicians remotely. loT technology has made some labor-intensive jobs simple and has the potential to simplify and enhance nearly every aspect of our lives. On the other hand, increased levels of high profile cyber security breaches in recent years have made it clear how important it is to make sure these devices are trustworthy and secure. While most users are aware of how critical it is to secure their laptops, mobile devices, and apps, due to the seamless ways in which loT devices integrates into our daily lives, users are often unaware of risks associated with them. At the same time, IoT device makers are aggressively releasing new products in a mad race to establish themselves in this emerging market. Increased pressure to differentiate on usability based functionalities has spurred products and features that are not properly vetted for security. Gartner predicts that by 2020, more than 25% of identified enterprise attacks will involve IoT, though loT will account for only 10% of IT security budgets. As loT continues to grow, vendors will favor usability over security and IT security practitioners remain unsure of the correct amount of acceptable risk.

The UN predicts that by the year 2030, the global water demand will outstrip supply by 40%. In face of the global water crisis, it is crucial to increase irrigation efficiency in agriculture, which currently consumes 70% of the global freshwater supply. Studies have shown that using precision agricultural technology to control irrigation can reduce water consumption by as much as 20% and increase crop yield by up to 30% in developing countries. Such technologies, however, are inaccessible to millions of small-scale farmers who need them the most because of their prohibitive costs and design intended for large-scale farming businesses. To address this technological gap, social enterprise SoilSense delivers affordable and robust IoT soil sensor systems to small-scale farmers, empowering them to irrigate more efficiently by providing data on when and where to irrigate based on soil measurements. This study analyzes existing literature on irrigation and soil sensor technology and applies a human-centered design approach to understand the needs of an underserved user group: smallscale and medium-scale avocado farmers. By engaging these farmers and subject matter experts in the field, key insights are drawn on the nuances of avocado cultivation, challenges in irrigation and water management, and the use of technology and data analytics in farming. This user research highlights the small-scale and medium-scale farmers' pain points and their vision for how technology could improve their operations. In addition to informing the iterative design of the SoilSense system prototype and business model, this study also endeavors to help address the global water crisis through continuous innovation and advancement in IoT agricultural technology.

Abstract:
Dauguma programinę įrangą kuriančių įmonių susiduria su problemomis: projektai vėluoja, viršijamas biudžetas, klientai nepatenkinti produktų kokybe. Daugelis problemų kyla dėl nebrandaus programų kūrimo proceso, pagal kurį įmonė įgyvendina projektus. Populiariausi pasaulyje programų kūrimo procesų vertinimo modeliai yra ISO/IEC 15504 ir CMMI. Įmonės, norėdamos būti oficialiai pripažintos platesnėje aplinkoje, renkasi vieną iš šių dviejų modelių. Įmonės susiduria su problema, kad skirtingi užsakovai reikalauja skirtingų procesų vertinimo modelių. Todėl įmonėms yra aktualu turėti instrumentą, kuris atvaizduotų jos vertinimo rezultatus iš vieno procesų vertinimo modelio į kitą, neatliekant kaskart realaus įmonės procesų vertinimo. Disertacijoje pateiktas tarpinis programų kūrimo procesų vertinimo modelis yra instrumentas įmonėms, siekiančioms kurti programų sistemas automobilių, krašto apsaugos, kosmoso, medicinos ir kitose pramonės šakose, gauti vertinimo rezultatus pagal įvairius procesų vertinimo modelius, atliekant vieną procesų vertinimą. Pagal pasiūlytą tarpinio programų kūrimo procesų vertinimo modelio kūrimo metodą galima kurti tarpinius modelius ir kitų sričių procesams vertinti. Pavyzdžiui, galima konstruoti tarpinį modelį paslaugas teikiančioms organizacijoms, apimantį CMMI-SVC ir ISO/IEC 15504-8 vertinimo modelius, arba tarpinį modelį bet kokia veikla užsiimančioms organizacijoms, apimantį Enterprise SPICE ir FAA-iCMM vertinimo modelius.
Many software companies face such problems as projects being behind schedule, exceeding the budget, customer dissatisfaction with product quality. Most of the problems arise due to immature software process of the company. The most popular process assessment models worldwide are ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI. Companies seeking wider official recognition choose between these two models. Companies face the problem that different customers require process assessment according to different models. Therefore, it is important for companies to have an instrument that would transform company’s assessment results according to one process assessment model to another model without actual reassessment each time. The transitional process assessment model proposed in the dissertation allows the companies in the automotive, defence, space, medical, and other industries to have assessment results according to different process assessment models by performing only single process assessment. The presented method for TPAM development could be used developing transitional process assessment models in other domains. For example, service companies could implement a transitional model covering CMMI-SVC and ISO/IEC 15504-8 assessment models, and companies working in other areas could implement a transitional model covering Enterprise SPICE and FAA-iCMM assessment models.

Vehicle Electrification is a leading technology in transportation sector towards sustainability and green earth. One of the threats to this fast-growing energy revolution is the Li-ion batteries - especially the concerns related to the safety of these batteries due to the increasing trend of energy density. As a result, during crash accidents, the possibility of fire accidents and explosions are significantly higher. Of the many affected stakeholders due to this safety issue, the auto insurance industries are the notable ones, who in the case of an accident, can end with large insurance losses. Hence the motive of this thesis is to leverage numerical modeling techniques developed at the Impact and Crashworthiness Lab (ICL) at MIT on the deformation and failure of Li ion batteries subjected to mechanical abuse conditions, to address the challenges of the auto insurance industries. This work includes three key deliverables. Firstly, a qualitative risk analysis of failure modes at cell, module and battery pack level using FMEA to identify high risk failure modes. Secondly, to analyze one of the high-risk failure modes using numerical models. Thirdly, construction of the failure envelope at cell and module level to establish design guidelines on how much local deformation will a given battery can withstand before initiating an internal damage that can lead to short circuit. Potential areas of applying these approaches and more research works required in this direction have been discussed.

The Construction Industry, unlike many other industries, has struggled to keep up pace with the adaption of evolving IoT ecosystem. The industry has been slow to the digital technological advancements in general and IoT advancements in particular. As a result, the Construction Industry has not been able to address the business pain points in the same effective manner as other industries who have embraced technological advances. The inventory management, safety and compliance regulations, and employee safety have been areas of concern since long and have by far remained unaddressed. This thesis analyzes the commercial potential of the loT Digital Transformation in the Construction Industry. It evaluates the business and technological challenges in integrating the existing systems in IoT and emerging cloud infrastructure. It further proposes solutions on how to capitalize on the emerging technologies to address the existing industry pain points and save on operating costs thus generate revenue. The thesis investigates the various stakeholders needs and their reluctance to adapt the technological advancements, the pain points of industry that can be addressed by IoT and Cloud Integration solutions, and the several potential mechanisms and proposed solutions to address the areas of concern. IoT and Cloud integration could be a potential solution to address many prevalent Industry problems of revenue loss, safety and regulatory violations and resulting accidents arising of poor asset tracking, inefficient employee clock-ins/clock-outs, and employee tracking.

Abstract:
Abstract Many IOC and NOC organizations have and continue to be face with the challenge of establishing a corporate standard for measuring production performance across their producing assets. The difficulty with this challgenge comes from reporting localized production, managing production shortfalls, and identifying opportunities to increase production. These are three critical elements of production excellence or production performance programs. This paper presents a solution for this challenge. This novel solution uses the choke model or limit diagram to integrate existing portions of the production performance framework; i. e., shortfall production management, opportunity identification workshops, and well potential calculations. The challenge is to duplicate these elements in a standard way across 12 active producing assets at different geographical locations, with diverse operating cultures, hydrocarbon types, contractual frameworks, and engineering criteria. Within three years all assets were sharing the same basis for Production Excellence program (Px) with strict reporting discipling enabled by common corporate system. During the same period the overall production efficiency increase by 3% adding 1.1 MMBOE into the tanks. In addition to the production baseline sustainability, other major benefits included the standardization of oil production loss classification and production opportunities identification workshop to keep the discipline of identifying production potential to reflect the everchanging field conditions. This paper will present the integration of the Px program as the main endevoar to make it a portion of the operating culture and the proposed method to capture and share the performance gains. Additionally, a tremendous effort was made to build some of the elements directly into the production data management systems in the local operating assets to enable the corporate reporting system to read any source of data. These data are then used as a business intelligence application reporting accessible via smart and interactive dashboards.

Full text
Abstract:
In August 1992, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) at the request of the United Nations, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, and the Kenyan Government, initiated a primary health care program in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. Since then, the population of the camp has continued to grow, and activities have moved from a crisis to a maintenance phase. In January 1997, IRC assumed the additional responsibility of the camp hospital, bringing the entire health sector under their management. IRC's programs focus on maintaining and improving public health and promoting self-reliance, particularly of the most vulnerable communities. This project focuses on emergency contraception as an aspect of the reproductive health (RH) needs of refugee women and men of reproductive age. The project will especially target the large adolescent community currently resident in the camp. The objective is to contribute to the improved quality of RH services for refugees and the local Turkana population in Kakuma through operations research on the introduction of emergency contraception. This report presents findings from the baseline survey.

Abstract:
This report summarizes the feedback received on the work of the NIST Cybersecurity for IoT program on device cybersecurity at a virtual workshop in July 2020. NISTIR 8259, Foundational Cybersecurity Activities for IoT Device Manufacturers and NISTIR 8259A, IoT Device Cybersecurity Capability Core Baseline provide general guidance on how manufacturers can understand and approach their role in supporting customers’ cybersecurity needs and goals. As discussed in those documents, specific sectors and use cases may require more specific guidance than what is included in NISTIR 8259A’s core baseline for IoT devices. NIST conducted the virtual workshop “Building the Federal Profile for IoT Device Cybersecurity” to discuss and gather community input on the creation of a federal profile of the core baseline for use by federal agencies. This publication provides a summary of the workshop. The baseline will be published in NISTIR 8259D, Profile of the IoT Core Baseline for the Federal Government.

Full text
Abstract:
The principal accomplishment of the research supported by BARD was progress toward a comprehensive view of cell-surface electrical effects (both in cell walls [CWs] and at plasma membrane [PM] surfaces) upon ion uptake, intoxication, and amelioration. The research confirmed that electrostatic models (e.g., Gouy-Chapman-Stern [G-C-S]), with parameter values contributed by us, successfully predict ion behavior at cell surfaces. Specific research objectives 1. To characterize the sorption of selected heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) to the root PM in the presence of other cations and organic ligands (citric and humic acids). 2. To compute the parameters of a G-C-S model for heavy-metal sorption to the root PM. 3. To characterize the accumulation of selected heavy metals in various plant parts. 4. To determine whether model-computed ion binding or ion activities at root PM surfaces predict heavy-metal accumulation in whole roots, root tips, or plant shoots. 5. To determine whether measured ion binding by protoplast-free roots (i.e., root CWs) predicts heavy-metal accumulation in whole roots, root tips, or plant shoots. 6. To correlate growth inhibition, and other toxic responses, with the measured and computed factors mentioned above. 7. To determine whether genotypic differences in heavy-metal accumulation and toxic responses correlate with genotypic differences in parameters of the G-C-S model. Of the original objectives, all except for objective 7 were met. Work performed to meet the other objectives, and necessitated on the basis of experimental findings, took the time that would have been required to meet objective 7. In addition, work with Pb was unsuccessful due to experimental complications and work on Cd is still in progress. On the other hand, the uptake and toxicity of the anion, selenate was characterized with respect to electrostatic effects and the influences of metal cations. In addition, the project included more theoretical work, supported by experimentation, than was originally planned. This included transmembrane ion fluxes considered in terms of PM-surface electrical potentials and the influence of CWs upon ion concentrations at PM surfaces. A important feature of the biogeochemistry of trace elements in the rhizosphere is the interaction between plant-root surfaces and the ions present in the soil solution. The ions, especially the cations, of the soil solution may be accumulated in the aqueous phases of cell surfaces external to the PMs, sometimes referred to as the "water free space" and the "Donnan free space". In addition, ions may bind to the CW components or to the PM surface with variable binding strength. Accumulation at the cell surface often leads to accumulation in other plant parts with implications for the safety and quality of foods. A G-C-S model for PMs and a Donnan-plus-binding model for CWs were used successfully to compute electrical potentials, ion binding, and ion concentration at root-cell surfaces. With these electrical potentials, corresponding values for ion activities may be computed that are at least proportional to actual values also. The computed cell-surface ion activities predict and explain ion uptake, intoxication, and amelioration of intoxication much more accurately than ion activities in the bulk-phase rooting medium.

Abstract:
Australia's and China's resources (e.g. Olympic Dam Cu-U-Au-Ag and Bayan Obo REE deposits) highlight how discovery and mining of iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG), iron oxide±apatite (IOA) and affiliated primary critical metal deposits in metasomatic iron and alkali-calcic (MIAC) mineral systems can secure a long-term supply of critical metals for Canada and its partners. In Canada, MIAC systems comprise a wide range of undeveloped primary critical metal deposits (e.g. NWT NICO Au-Co-Bi-Cu and Québec HREE-rich Josette deposits). Underexplored settings are parts of metallogenic belts that extend into Australia and the USA. Some settings, such as the Camsell River district explored by the Dene First Nations in the NWT, have infrastructures and 100s of km of historic drill cores. Yet vocabularies for mapping MIAC systems are scanty. Ability to identify metasomatic vectors to ore is fledging. Deposit models based on host rock types, structural controls or metal associations underpin the identification of MIAC-affinities, assessment of systems' full mineral potential and development of robust mineral exploration strategies. This workshop presentation reviews public geoscience research and tools developed by the Targeted Geoscience Initiative to establish the MIAC frameworks of prospective Canadian settings and global mining districts and help de-risk exploration for IOCG, IOA and affiliated primary critical metal deposits. The knowledge also supports fundamental research, environmental baseline assessment and societal decisions. It fulfills objectives of the Canadian Mineral and Metal Plan and the Critical Mineral Mapping Initiative among others. The GSC-led MIAC research team comprises members of the academic, private and public sectors from Canada, Australia, Europe, USA, China and Dene First Nations. The team's novel alteration mapping protocols, geological, mineralogical, geochemical and geophysical framework tools, and holistic mineral systems and petrophysics models mitigate and solve some of the exploration and geosciences challenges posed by the intricacies of MIAC systems. The group pioneers the use of discriminant alteration diagrams and barcodes, the assembly of a vocab for mapping and core logging, and the provision of field short courses, atlas, photo collections and system-scale field, geochemical, rock physical properties and geophysical datasets are in progress to synthesize shared signatures of Canadian settings and global MIAC mining districts. Research on a metamorphosed MIAC system and metamorphic phase equilibria modelling of alteration facies will provide a foundation for framework mapping and exploration of high-grade metamorphic terranes where surface and near surface resources are still to be discovered and mined as are those of non-metamorphosed MIAC systems.
