Aim: To develop a nursing early warning system in children’s hospital during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, and to accomplish the construction and application of this system, so as to provide decision-support of the prevention and control for COVID-19 in children’s medical institutions. Method: Children’s hospital nursing early warning system was divided into three modules: hospital nursing early warning platform includes internal and external early warning platform, nursing staff early warning program includes protection, human resources early warning plan and patient early warning program includes outpatient, emergency and ward early warning plan. The data of epidemic training, assessment, prevention and control screening from January to June 2020 were collected from the nursing early warning system to evaluate the application effect of the system. Results: A total of 18 procedures and specifications were formulated, nine hospital-level trainings and about 1000 department-level trainings were organized, two hospital-level assessments (pass rate 95.6% and 98.2%), and 78 nurses were reserved, and 10 popular science articles, five popular science videos were published during the application of the nursing early warning system. A total of 583,435 children and 139,308 caregivers were screened in outpatient, emergency and wards during pre-checks, 2385 suspected cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia were confirmed (0.41%) after the screening and 1 case (0.0002%) was finally confirmed. Conclusion: The nursing early warning system of children’s hospital can prevent and control the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic from each module, ensure early warning and triage of suspected infected patients, reduce the risk of cross-infection in hospital and improve the safety of the children’s hospital medical environment.

Introduction The main purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of premonition in SIDS parents vs. Non-SIDS/Control Group parents and to test for a number of other anomalous "markers" noted anecdotally by decades of in the field observation. Evidence of premonition and these other "markers" as consistent elements of the SIDS phenomenon could serve as an "early warning system" for a future SIDS event if confirmed by larger studies. Methodology Both groups of SIDS parents and Control parent participants completed electronic questionnaires on the SurveyMonkey platform for statistical analysis. Results The results of this pilot study indicated statistically significant differences between the SIDS parent and Non-SIDS control study groups for premonition and a set of other anomalous markers. Conclusion The authors believe that this pilot study of premonition and other markers may provide an "early-warning" system for an impending SIDS event if confirmed with future larger studies. Importance: This pilot study confirms results of the value of premonition as well as other anomalous observations by parents whose infants may be at risk for a SIDS event. This study deserves to be confirmed by larger studies and, if so, confirmed indicates a reliable "early warning system" for an impending SIDS event. We face the problem if this SIDS event represents the small percentage of infants who will die of SIDS, even if a diagnostic evaluation and management, including hospital admission and monitoring, may not prevent death from SIDS. However, if this premonition is predictive of Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) secondary to a potentially preventable etiology, this infant death may be preventable.

Romania experiences severe flooding problems almost every year. Within the last decade, floods have resulted in more than 200 deaths and estimated economic damages of $92 million per year. Also, between 1992 and 2012, there were 700 reported accidental chemical spills in Romania, some of them resulting in trans-boundary impacts. In this chapter is described the Romanian flood early warning system concept realized by the National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management (INHGA) under the auspices of Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (in former time Ministry of Environmental and Waters – MoEW) and DESWAT project. Beginning with 2014, DESWAT (Destructive Waters Abatement and Control) flood monitoring system is functional in all Romania.
