Abstract. The data base of technological accidents and disasters that have occurred in Russia has been created. More than 13 000 information units have been collected and analyzed. The proportion of accidents triggered by natural events (natural-technological accidents or NTA) in the total number of technological accidents as well as a part of every NTA type in the total number of NTA was estimated. About 10 percent of all accidents registered in the data base were caused by natural events; among some types of accidents this proportion is even higher. Transmission facilities with more than 90 percent of overhead lines are the most vulnerable to the impact of natural hazards. The contribution of different natural hazards was evaluated. Regions with the greatest NTA risk were revealed. The influence of natural events on the technosphere is stronger in the South of the European Russia and in the Russian Far East, which are more exposed to hurricanes, snowstorms, rainfalls, icing and other natural hazards producing NTA. The critical infrastructure needs special protection and modernization in these regions. The problem of the relationship between natural hazards and the technosphere is very complicated and needs further investigation, especially taking the expected climate changes into consideration.

The purpose of this research relates to the implementation of LAW Number 6 year 2014 Village, one of them about the potential information system Web-based integrated village to open information organization of Village governance to the public, the openness of public information so that citizens can be active together with the Government to build the village. Information is indispensable to know include: administration of the potential of the village, population administration, administration of research Objects, Village profile Village July Tambo Tanjong village, the village of Alue "Buya" Term Abeuk Budi with characteristic different Village , Research methods using Stochastic models and making the algorithm the Program so that the formation of a Database of android-based integrated Village by utilizing Cloud Computing and Mobile Computing, that makes it easier for users (community) in the to access the information in the respective decisions.. Models of decision support information systems Integrated Rural-based Android is the community to know how to make use of the existing resources for the activities of the noble mandate of appropriate LAW village. Research results are very useful especially for researchers as knowledge and very benefit to Central Government, Government Tk. I, Government Tk. II, Government districts and especially in the reign of the village as well as society in General.

The Impact

The study emphasizes the importance of Decision support systems (DSS) for corporate performance. Prior studies have been reviewed to validate theories that explain how Decision support systems (DSS) affect corporate performance. Decision support systems (DSS) provides information that is valuable to take decisions and reflects current economic, and financial state of the company: efficiency, output rates, information on the effect of different events, that relate to the impact that the employees’ decision has on the performance of other departments. Furthermore, greater management information system capability leads to a higher degree of strategic performance. These and many other factors are suggested to be critical features of DSS that have a direct influence on the financial and strategic performance of companies. This paper uses resource based view in order to explain the importance of DSS capabilities and their direct influence on firm performance. In other words, the main idea behind the paper involves the analysis of company performance based on how information system capabilities are used. For this purpose, this paper formulates conceptual framework which explains the link of DSS capabilities to absorptive capacity through the interaction of market access competency, integrated related competency, functionality related competency. Finally, the influence of DSS capabilities is described in terms of their influence on companies market based and operation performance.

Abstract Background Antibiotic stewardship services (ABS) contribute to antibiotic resistance (AR) global monitoring. Aiming at co-implement an ABS network within the Portuguese-speaking setting (CPLP), by enabling the evidence translation and second opinion between the countries, we surveyed Cape Verdean (CV) health professionals (HP) perceptions about AR prevention and control, assessing ABS opportunities. Methods A Design Science with Participatory Action Research establishes a contextualized ABS process. This mixed-method study addressed the first 2 stages, the problem and objectives. Quantitative study considered the HP’s answers (56 HP; 2 hospitals) to a questionnaire, about their perception on AR and ABS. Qualitative study set-up 10 open-ended structured interviews, clinical shift observation in 2 pilot-services (1 hospital), and meetings with key-elements for ABS, including leadership. Results Key-stakeholders for ABS multidisciplinary teamwork were identified. Preliminary results are: 1. HP reveal some knowledge but lack of awareness on AR and ABS (eg. 34% don’t recognize the AR local threat); 2. The absence of guidelines and lack of access to key-information affect prescribing confidence (eg. only 46% HP consider microbiology results in deciding antibiotherapy); 3. Priorities for a pilot service are the lack of qualified HP, the need to optimize material resources management and stock procurement, and the need for better access to patient’s clinical and prescription information; 4. Digital resources and telemedicine system can be facilitators. Top-down communication and support are essential for the ABS process sustainability. Conclusions A Global ABS network can be important in promoting prevention and effective control of AR, reducing differences between the CPLP countries. In CV, an educational program to support the co-design of ABS service and a decision-support information system are identified priorities. Digital health, like telemedicine, can be ABS facilitators. Key messages The implementation of a Global Antibiotic Stewardship network, aiming at reducing Portuguese-speaking Countries differences, could be leveraged by a Participatory Action Research process. An educational program, a decision-support information system and the telemedicine are key for the Global Antibiotic Stewardship network implementation success.
