Effective Reaction

The forecasting of natural disasters is more complicated than other crisis events. It requires the full use of special forces and means, which are intended to solve them. Crisis managers and many authorities or institutions are involved in the process of solving crisis events. They are exposed to psychical pressure because each phase or reaction must be made promptly and effectively. The authors focus on issues of risk and crisis management in the public sector in their research activities at the University of Žilina. The aim of this article is to propose a well-functioning and effective reaction to natural disasters in Slovakia. This model is proposed with schematic drawings illustrating the activities in each phase of reaction to a natural disaster. The model is based on international past experiences and various laws or ordinances of multiple ministries for the Slovak crisis management system. This article points to possibly optimizing the decision-making processes at all levels of crisis management, in particular to improve the local government level.

China is in a critical period of urbanization, and various social contradictions continue to be accumulated, emerged and enlarged, so public crisis management mechanism has been highly valued by governments at all levels with the public crisis events are occurred frequently. The paper conducts study for the problems in the current urban public crisis handle mechanism. First, the evaluation model of crisis management can be researched, and crisis management can be divided into four stages to evaluate respectively, they are Reduction, Readiness, Response and Recovery; then, we should research crisis prediction model to strengthen prediction, prevention and monitoring of the crisis before the crisis happened; finally, stakeholders analysis model should be studied, and scientific analyzing the interests of the various stakeholders and the relationship among them. From the theoretical point of view, the paper carries on a study for crisis handle mechanism to provide support for improving the crisis handle level.

portuguese Antarctic permafrost research has developed fast in the last decade. The research was initiated by the centre for Geographical Studies of the university of lisbon in the framework of a collaboration with the university of Alcalá (Spain) and the Spanish Antarctic programme in 1999. In 2007 and 2008, collaborations have extended, respectively to the bulgarian and Argentinean programmes. The critical mass has grown substantially since then and other institutions are now also involved on the research activities. The development of scientific activities was fostered by the International polar year 2007-08 and supported by funding from public and private institutions. A wide-scope education and outreach project has significantly contributed to the public and political awareness of the science programme, and a close interaction between scientists and society has developed. The main research topics are permafrost, active layer and geomorphological processes monitoring, with an emphasis on detection of climate change signals.

Crisis Events

The issue of crisis management in the conditions of the Slovak Republic is determined primarily by the legal environment. It contains many concepts, including tasks and competencies designed for individual crisis management subjects. The tasks of the public sector in the process of solving crisis events are relatively extensive and complex. The main aim of this article is to clarify and summarize the issue of crisis management in the public sector. This is characterized in detail in a relatively large number of legislative documents. The authors discuss links and relationships between selected authorities and institutions in the crisis management system. Emphasis is placed primarily on their competencies and tasks

Natural disasters are something that is not easy to predict, and one of them is a flood. It is found that the frequency of floods that have occurred in Indonesia is 505 times the total of 1824 natural disasters. Disaster risk reduction is the concept of how people minimise accidents and victims affected by disasters. One example of disaster risk reduction is to provide knowledge to the public about disaster evacuation and prevention before an emergency occurs. The objective of this study is to utilise gamification to increase user effectiveness. The method of gamification is the science used to learn, along with the increasing interest in learning. Gamification is applicable in several fields; one of them is crisis management and emergency training. The gamification is applied by utilising mechanical games, dynamic games, and gamification elements. The results showed that gamification could increase the effectiveness in terms of time by 89.77% of information and education about disaster risk and disaster preparedness to the public. This re-search was conducted at the disaster preparedness participant school with 65 participants, along with 21 communities affected by the flood disaster. Based evaluations on aspects of usefulness (UU), Ease of use (EU), Ease of learning (UL), and satisfaction (US) aspects of usefulness have the highest value because with the application the participant feels helped and can learn the dangers of disaster and preparation for disaster.

The number of anthropogenic and natural disasters is growing and their impacts increase pressure on prevention and crisis preparedness in the public and private sectors. Exercises of the crisis management authorities, which test and verify both plans and capabilities, form part of the crisis preparedness. The article deals with the preparation and application of crisis preparedness training using software and simulation tools. The next part of the article focuses on the training of the crisis management bodies, describing all preparation and implementation phases. Simulation has a great impact on preparedness due to the possibility to test and verify plans and capabilities of included bodies, identify deficiencies and create an environment for improvements. The results of the exercise were applied in an evaluation that detected problems in the use of new technologies and crisis communication.

ABSTRACT Chevron has developed oil-specific properties summary sheets for major crude and high-volume oil products to improve our ability to provide timely and accurate information for decision-making processes in the initial stages of a spill and to help address questions posed by trustees and the public. Each summary sheet is composed of five modules that denote (1) the oil's physical and chemical properties; (2) the oil's environmental fate; (3) spill countermeasures; (4) public health and ecotoxicology data; and (5) appropriate analytical methods. Identified information gaps (Le., aquatic toxicity, WAF chemistry, etc.) are being addressed in Chevron-funded research at the University of California—Santa Cruz

This report focusses on the planning and realization of an interdisciplinary local area network (LAN) for medical research at the University of Heidelberg. After a detailed requirements analysis, several networks were evaluated by means of a test installation, and a cost-performance analysis was carried out. At present, the LAN connects 45 (IBM-compatible) PCs, several heterogeneous mainframes (IBM, DEC and Siemens) and provides access to the public X.25 network and to wide-area networks for research (EARN, BITNET). The network supports application software that is frequently needed in medical research (word processing, statistics, graphics, literature databases and services, etc.). Compliance with existing “official” (e.g., IEEE 802.3) and “de facto” standards (e.g., PostScript) was considered to be extremely important for the selection of both hardware and software. Customized programs were developed to improve access control, user interface and on-line help. Wide acceptance of the LAN was achieved through extensive education and maintenance facilities, e.g., teaching courses, customized manuals and a hotline service. Since requirements of clinical routine differ substantially from medical research needs, two separate networks (with a gateway in between) are proposed as a solution to optimally satisfy the users’ demands.

Nowadays, the Industry 4.0 concept affects every area of the industrial, economic, social and personal sectors. The most significant changings are the automation and the digitalization. This is also true for the material handling processes, where the handling systems use more and more automated machines; planning, operation and optimization of different logistic processes are based on many digital data collected from the material flow process. However, new methods and devices require new solutions which define new research directions. In this paper we describe the state of the art of the material handling researches and draw the role of the UMi-TWINN partner institutes in these fields. As a result of this H2020 EU project, scientific excellence of the University of Miskolc can be increased and new research activities will be started.

In order to codify the political and partisan activity in Iraq, after a difficult labor, the Political Parties Law No. (36) for the year 2015 started and this is positive because it is not normal for the political parties and forces in Iraq to continue without a legal framework. Article (24) / paragraph (5) of the law requires that the party and its members commit themselves to the following: (To preserve the neutrality of the public office and public institutions and not to exploit it for the gains of a party or political organization). This is considered because it is illegal to exploit State institutions for partisan purposes . It is a moral duty before the politician not to exploit the political parties or some of its members or those who try to speak on their behalf directly or indirectly to achieve partisan gains. Or personality against other personalities and parties at the expense of the university entity.
