Для задач синтеза сценариев управления региональной безопасностью в условиях кризисных ситуаций разработана технология интегральной оценки безопасности региональных социально-экономических систем. Предложена формализованная постановка задачи и ее декомпозиция с учетом набора ключевых показателей безопасности. В отличие от известных формальных моделей устойчивого развития технология обеспечивает формирование матричного интегрального показателя региональной безопасности и позволяет оценить состояние и тенденции развития региона за счет совместного использования системно-динамических, нечетких и вероятностных моделей оценки индикаторов безопасности. С применением разработанной технологии построена матрица региональной безопасности Арктической зоны РФ. For management scenario synthesis of regional security under emergency situations problem-solving a technology for security integral estimation of the regional socio-economic systems has been developed. The formalized problem statement and it decomposition subject to the set of key security indicators have been proposed. In contrast to well-known and state-of-the-art formal models of sustainable development the technology provides matrix integral index formation of regional security and allows situation and tendencies assessment of regional development at the expense of joint use of system-dynamic, fuzzy and probabilistic estimation models of security indicators. With application of developed technology the regional security matrix of Arctic region of Russian Federation has been designed.

The article presents the results of research on the State task for 2020, aimed at ensuring the biological and food safety of animal products and feed; veterinary and sanitary and environmental well-being of animal husbandry. Fundamental research on the assessment of the toxicological hazard of fungi common in fodder crops deserves special attention, since they will allow monitoring the safety of fodder, including in emergency situations.

Adequate Level

The International Commission on Radiological Protection’s (ICRP) system to protect the living components of the environment is designed to provide a broad and practical framework across different exposure situations. The framework recognises the need to be able to demonstrate an adequate level of protection in relation to planned exposure situations, whilst also providing an ability to manage existing and emergency situations in an appropriate way. In all three exposure situations, the release of radionuclides into the natural environment leads to exposures of non-human biota (wildlife), as well as having the potential for exposures of the public. How the key principles of the ICRP system of radiological protection apply in each of these exposure situations will be discussed. Using examples, we will demonstrate how the overall approach provides a mechanism for industry to assess and demonstrate compliance with the environmental protection objectives of relevant (national) legislation, and to meet stakeholder expectations that radiological protection of the environment is taken into consideration in accordance with international best practice. However, several challenges remain, and these will be discussed in the context of the need for additional guidance on the protection of the environment.

Hospital Use

ABSTRACTObjective: The First Water Responder B package water treatment device was evaluated for its ability to reduce the levels of spiked indicators and pathogens (Escherichia coli, MS2 coliphage, murine adenovirus, and Cryptosporidium oocysts) in a surface water to partially evaluate its appropriateness to be used to provide safe drinking water to hospitals during emergency situations.Methods: Lake water was collected in 50-L carboys and spiked with selected indicators and pathogens (E coli, MS2 coliphage, murine adenovirus, and Cryptosporidium oocysts) at 2 different spike levels (low and high). This water was treated using the First Water Responder B, and the microorganisms were enumerated before and after treatment using US Environmental Protection Agency and Standard Methods. Microbial removal efficiencies were compared with Environmental Protection Agency guidelines.Results:E coli spikes ranged from 2.9 to 1059 colony-forming units (CFU)/100 mL with removals to below detection limits (1 CFU/100 mL) to 2.8 CFU/100 mL or 0.98 to 3.5 log10 reductions. MS2 coliphage spikes ranged from 3 plaque-forming units (PFU) to 837 PFU/100 mL with removals to below detection limits (1 PFU/100 mL) to 11.7 PFU/100 mL or 0.65 to 1.9 log10 reductions. Murine adenovirus spikes ranged from 203 to 8410 most probable number (MPN) of infectious units/100 mL with removals to below detection limits (23 MPN infectious units/100 mL) to 1370 MPN infectious units/100 mL or 0.79 to >1.2 log10 reductions. Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst spikes ranged from 52 to 853 oocysts per liter with removals to below detection limits (<1 oocyst per liter) to 0.3 oocysts per liter or >2.2 to 3.4 log10 reductions.Conclusions: Although the First Water system could remove a significant portion of the spiked organisms, it is recommended that this point-of-use system be coupled with chemical disinfection in a multiple-barrier approach to provide water of the highest reasonably achievable quality for hospital use in emergency situations.(Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2011;5:29-36)

Safety Procedures

The use of laboratories is important to teach several subjects, but the students are susceptible to accidents. Therefore a virtual 3D environment in first-person that presents several emergency situations that can occur during a practical class in a laboratory will be developed and validated. The software UDK Engine 3, Maya 2013, Photoshop CS5, ShaderMap Pro, Zbrush 4r3 and Adobe Flash 11 were used. The safety procedures adopted were the standards of the Regulating Rules of the Ministry of Labor and of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) and of the Environmental Protection Agency - EPA. The evaluation was done with a group of 30 students regarding interfaces and realism, and with a group of 30 laboratory practices professors regarding the concepts presented. The results showed a great approval between the two groups and in the next phase of the research a validation will be done regarding the learning of the safety procedures by the students in the virtual environment in comparison to a conventional class.

Probability Of Death

Background: Objective evaluation of the management of patients with ruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysm in emergency situations has been described rarely. Patients and methods: Fifty-two consecutive patients with ruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysm (mean age, 70.3 years; range, 56–89 years; SD 7.8) were admitted between January 1993 and March 1998. Emergency protocols, final reports, and follow-up data were analyzed retrospectively. APACHE II scores at admission and fifth postoperative day were assessed. Results: The time between the appearance of first symptoms and the referral of patients to the hospital was more than 5 hours in 37 patients (71%). Thirty-eight patients (71%) had signs of shock at time of admission. Ultrasound was performed in 81% of patients as the first diagnostic procedure. The most frequent site of aortic rupture was the left retroperitoneum (87%). Intraoperatively, acute left ventricular failure occurred in four patients, and cardiac arrest in two others. The postoperative course was complicated significantly in 34 patients. The overall mortality rate was 36.5% (n = 19). In 35 patients, APACHE II score was assessed, showing a probability of death of more than 40% in five patients and lower than 30% in 17 others. No patient showing probability of death of above 75% at the fifth postoperative day survived (n = 7). Conclusions: Ruptured aortic aneurysm demands surgical intervention. Clinical outcome is also influenced by preclinical and anesthetic management. The severity of disease as well as the patient’s prognosis can be approximated using APACHE II score. Treatment results of heterogenous patient groups can be compared.
