Subject of the study: The article considers assessments of fire risks in Vietnamese typological clusters. A set of factors characterized by economic, social, demographic, climatic indicators, as well as indicators that take into account processes of urbanization, electrification, trade and transport development, affecting both construction industry functioning and fire services activities in clusters are considered in building typology. Goal of the study: Triune and aimed at territories fire risks typology on the basic of cluster analysis – assessment of territorial differences in fire risks – justification models of optimal management of fire service resources in territorial clusters. Materials and methods: Methodological basis for fire risks assessment is the integral fire risks theory. Trends for each province in Vietnam from 2006 to 2016, and their averaged indicator for the same years are considered. Results: In term of fire risks, five homogeneous clusters of provinces are identified. Conclusions: Obtained typology in Vietnam makes it possible to develop practical recommendations for authorities, industries, including construction one, and fire service, on improving management of territorial resources taking into account fire risks, interaction between regional operational services, enhancing legal and regulatory support for insurance in construction industry.

Risks Assessment

Subject of the study: Models of relationships between specific index for the number of deaths and injuries in fires and specific load by fires are studied. A complex specific indicator (the number of deaths and injuries in fires) is formed. Thereupon, based on the principles of active systems theory, a target function for optimal territorial distribution of human resources of fire service in clusters – groups of homogeneous provinces in terms of fire risks – is constructed. Goal of the study: The article is aimed at justifying and constructing complex criteria for optimal management of the human resources of the fire service. Materials and methods: Methodological basis for fire risks assessment is the integral fire risks theory, and human resources management is the theory of active systems. The dynamics of fire risk indicators in Vietnam from 2006 to 2016 is considered. Results: The optimal distribution of human resources allows a 10-12% reduction in the complex specific indicator of risks. Conclusions: The obtained solutions make it possible to develop practical recommendations for authorities, industries, including construction industry, and fire service, on improving management of territorial human resources taking into account fire risks, enhancing legal and regulatory support for insurance in construction industry.

Abstract The goal of this review is to assess the current treatment and outcomes of special clinical situations in patients with myeloproliferative disease (MPD) such as pregnancy, major thrombotic and bleeding complications and surgical interventions. However, only a limited literature to support optimal management strategies is available. Many of the proposed strategies are the results of common sense or derive from the extrapolation of data from other studies not specifically designed to solve these problems. Therefore, practical recommendations to guide clinical decisions in these settings still remain largely empirical.

Oriented Approach

Peer support, as part of a recovery-oriented approach to treatment, is a valuable resource across various clinical and nonclinical populations. Specifically, in fire service, peer support may bridge the gap between firefighters' behavioral health needs and access to professional services. The current chapter summarizes the literature on peer support utility, presents data on barriers to treatment, and describes the roles clinicians can fill in partnering with fire service peer support to enhance the quality and reach of behavioral health services offered to fire service personnel. Finally, future research directions are outlined to continue the conversation about how to improve collaborations between peer supporters, clinicians, and others working to support the needs and strengths of firefighters.

And Cluster Analysis

The article classifies Polish voivodeships into appropriate groups with a similar level of occupational safety in the construction industry. The basis for the adopted classification was statistical data published by the Central Statistical Office regarding population, employment in the construction industry, the value of construction production and the number of occupational accidents. The conducted research allowed a logical and correct, in terms of content, division of the Polish territory to be made, taking into account the aspect of occupational safety in the construction industry. Statistica software and cluster analysis were used to solve the problem.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyse the perceptions of South Australian construction practitioners on drivers affecting the implementation of reverse logistics (RL). In this context, RL is defined as the process of moving goods from their typical final destination for the purpose of capturing value or ensuring proper disposal. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight practitioners to collect data and the interview transcripts were analysed using the NVivo (version 10) package. Cluster analysis was used to cross-validate the findings and provide an in-depth insight into the findings. Findings – The findings indicate that most of the drivers identified in earlier research are relevant for the construction industry. In addition, the study identified some new drivers that are categorised as “targeted demands by an exclusive clientele”. These drivers were found to be complementary to the economic, environmental and social drivers as previously conceptualised. In addition, a set of factors affecting the strength of drivers that had been overlooked in previous studies emanated from the interview analysis. These include the type of project and the attributes of clients, both of which strongly affect the drivers of RL implementation in construction. Research limitations/implications – The major limitations are the relatively small size of the sample of interviewees and having interviewees from one geographic area with specific socio-economic characteristics. Practical implications – The identified drivers and the clustering of RL themes could be used by practitioners as a “road map” for the development of appropriate solutions to successfully promote RL within the construction industry. Organisational energies could thus be channelled towards the drivers that need the most improvement. Originality/value – The study contributes to this research sphere by employing cluster analysis to customise and contextualise the drivers that were previously identified. The study goes beyond the extant literature by discovering the prominent effects of these drivers on the impact of targeted demands by an exclusive clientele. This could be of great value in terms of creating avenues for future investigations on the topic.

Fire disaster is accident that occur most frequently with different causes. It requires strong intervention for a sustainable fire-free environment. This study assessed causes and people’s behaviour in fire disasters towards a sustainable fire-free environment in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The study focused at identifying remote causes of fire disasters in Kebbi State, the people’s behaviour in/to fire situations using the state capital (Birnin Kebbi) as well as equipment available in the state fire service head-office towards a fire-free environment. Descriptive research approach was used. A sample size of 204 respondents (30 market traders, 144 occupants and 30 fire service personnel) obtained through Cochran 1963 sample size formula were randomly selected. Questionnaire and observation were used to collect data which were analyzed through descriptive statistics (frequency tables and percentages) and results were presented in charts. Results revealed that electrical fault/wiring, political reasons, negligence among others are the causes of fire disaster in the area with electrical fault/wiring as the remote cause. The behaviour of people towards building a sustainable fire-free environment shows people of the area do help one another in extinguishing fire whenever it strikes. Results also shows that lack of manpower and standard fire stations were the prominent challenges faced by the state fire service head-office in the state capital prompting incessant burning and resulting lives and property loss. Occupants of the area should always read and comply with safety guides of electrical appliances bought before use to avoid and prevent them from substandard gadgets that have ability of endangering their lives.
