Abstract Malaysia has a booming and successful fishery development. Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia Complexes (LKIM) are located in every state of Malaysia to function as a fish landing jetty complex to allow fishing vessels for fish handling operations. However, the design and facility of Fish Landing Jetty Complexes in Malaysia are not up to date even though the fishery development contribute to Malaysia’s economy. Proper facilities and design strategies of fish landing jetty will ensure that fish handling operations work efficiently and enhance the fishery development in Malaysia. In this research, the design components and facilities of fish landing jetty complexes are studied for determining the design strategies of fish landing jetty complexes in Malaysia to enhance the efficiency of the building itself. In this research, a few precedent study and survey questionnaire had been conducted as a research methodology to review and compare the design components and facility of the precedent studies. Besides, the survey questionnaire is to collect the data and their opinion from the general public and users of the Fish Landing Jetty Complex to understand their satisfaction and expectation towards the current condition of the Fish Landing Jetty Complex in Malaysia. There are 41% of respondents are stated that majority of the Fish Landing Jetty Complexes in Malaysia are unsuccessful in achieving the efficiency of the fish landing process. The design strategies of Fish Landing Jetty Complex should consider on the working flow diagram of fish landing. Application of mechanical quay-side lifting winches, built-in conveyor system, rainwater harvesting system and solar energy able to increase the efficiency of the building. It is important to apply the commercial and public recreation spaces inside a Fish Landing Jetty Complex to sustain longer and produce revenue to the building.

This project examined evidence linking green building design strategies with the potential to enhance community resilience to extreme heat events. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method for a systematic review, it assessed the strength of the evidence supporting the potential for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) credit requirements to reduce the adverse effects of extreme heat events and/or enhance a building’s passive survivability (i.e., the ability to continue to function during utility outages) during those events. The PRISMA Flow Diagram resulted in the selection of 12 LEED for New Construction (LEED NC) credits for inclusion in the review. Following a preliminary scan of evidence supporting public health co-benefits of the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system, queries were submitted in PubMed using National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings Terms. Queries identified links between LEED credit requirements and risk of exposure to extreme heat, environmental determinants of health, co-benefits to public health outcomes, and co-benefits to built environment outcomes. Public health co-benefits included reducing the risk of vulnerability to heat stress and reducing heat-related morbidity and mortality. The results lay the groundwork for collaboration across the public health, civil society, climate change, and green building sectors.

Almost fifty years after the first installations, I identify the main lessons learned from fighting drought and poverty in Africa with direct solar-powered pumps thanks to Father Bernard Verspieren and Mali Aqua Viva. Six main findings and three main recommendations emerge from the present analysis. They are of direct relevance to all Africa’s countries whose population has gone from 438 million in 1977 to 1,308 million in 2019, with about 600 million still having no access to electricity. In place of “awareness campaigns” and extraordinary courses held by international organizations, I recommend to establish national solar energy institutes whose task will include the education of solar energy professionals giving practice-oriented workshops on solar-powered drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting throughout each Africa’s country. Said education will critically include the economic and social aspects of distributed “generation” of energy and water from sunlight and rainfall.

Abstract: Rainwater harvesting is a technique for collecting rainwater that would otherwise be wasted, mainly in metropolitan settings. There is essentially no infiltration and percolation due to the completely different land use compared to the metropolitan region. As a result, groundwater levels have been steadily depleted. Rainwater harvesting is nearly completely unknown among the general public. There is a lack of community planning that may result in widespread participation and so replenish the groundwater table. The current research looks at several rainwater gathering techniques and how they may be implemented at the chosen location. The research is being conducted on the Dehradun campus of UPES. The focus is mostly on the water collected on the rooftop, which will be filtered and used for cleaning and gardening. Because it is a hilly location, the region receives a lot of rain, which provides excellent opportunities for rainwater gathering. The total runoff from the entire rooftop is calculated using a rational formula and then distributed to various uses. The paper's main goal is to advocate the wise use of this valuable resource while keeping in mind the economics of the method used. Keywords: Rainwater harvesting, rational formula, groundwater.

<p>All the initiatives aimed at removing obstacles to the widespread use of renewable energy sources have costs for the Community. May they be economic, such as grants, reductions on taxation, discounts on concession or town planning charges, as prizes of cubic capacity building. But even in the case of mandatory standards the question of “solar rights” of existing buildings and open spaces during a given period of the year. Remains a crucial issuel in fact, among the various design strategies aimed at energy efficiency standards required, pursuit of those who use solar energy are determined. In the face of such costs created by the public authorities and the legal constraints, the current legislation does not guarantee the solar right in the urban planning. It is absurd to legislate and use collective resources to encourage or even force the adoption of strategies that are based on the solar energy and plan the city with rules that deny access to neighboring lots.</p>

Elicitation Study

Introduction Hemophilia is an inherited disorder that causes a deficiency of a blood clotting factor resulting in a lifelong bleeding diathesis. People with hemophilia (PWH) may experience significant morbidity including potentially life-threatening hemorrhages and accumulation of joint damage and require burdensome and costly chronic treatment with factor replacement therapies. Gene therapies aimed at providing endogenous production of the missing clotting factor have the potential to yield significant health benefits for PWH. Economic evaluation is an important component for the commissioning and funding of new treatments like gene therapies. In economic evaluation, quality-of-life (QoL) is measured using health state utility valuations (HSUV). However, people with inherited and long-term health conditions may adapt to their given health state and adjust their expectations, therefore biasing the estimates of QoL/HSUV (i.e., disease state adaptation (DSA) or "disability paradox"; Albrecht and Devlieger, 1999). Here, we describe the first stages of research to evaluate DSA experienced by PWH. Methods To facilitate the selection of research methodology, a systematic litearure review (SLR) was performed to examine existing studies on QoL/HSUVs for PWH. A SLR was conducted to identify full-text studies by searching electronic databases (e.g. MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library). Studies were included in the review using predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria for population, study type, language (English). Additionally, a manual search (last three years) for conferences abstracts was performed to capture the most up-to-date research. Findings from the SLR informed the conceptualisation of a study framework. The proposed research approach was then discussed with an expert panel consisting of clinicians, patient advocacy representatives, and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) specialists. Results The SLR identified 32 studies reporting HSUVs in hemophilia. The studies identified applied a mix of direct and indirect HSUV elicitation techniques. Two studies applied direct time trade-off methodology and the remaining 30 studies adopted indirect valuation methodologies. Utility values were found to vary by disease severity, musculoskeletal damage, bleed frequency, inhibitors, hemophilia subtype, treatment regimen, and adherence. Interestingly, HSUVs derived from valuations from the general public were found to be valued lower than those derived from PWH for the same health states. For example, in Carlsson et al. (2017), general public participants consistently rated significantly lower HSUVs for hemophilia disease states compared to PWH (range: 0.54-0.60 vs. 0.67-0.73), suggesting DSA might exist for PWH. Based on SLR findings, an expert panel discussed the feasibility and acceptability of an approach for conducting a preference elicitation study to directly evaluate DSA in PWH. Preference elicitation is an established research framework that is widely used in health economics. A comparative preference elicitation study was proposed to describe and quantify DSA by comparing responses from PWH, caregivers of PWH, and the general public. Conclusion Based on the SLR and expert panel inputs from clinicians, patients and HTA experts, an agreement was achieved about the research methodology for a new study directly assessing DSA experienced by PWH. Experts agreed that a comparative preference elicitation approach among PWH, caregivers of PWH, and the general public was fit-for-purpose for this research. The impact of DSA on QoL/HSUV should be characterized within economic evaluations of novel treatments with transformative impact on patients' lives, such as gene therapies.
