Background: The classical characterization of disaster is unfamiliarity, unpredictability, uncertainty, vulnerability, urgency, intensity and danger. Major disasters include earthquake, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods hurricanes, fires, tornados, blizzards, tsunamis, cyclones. Apart from causing deaths and severe ill health, disasters also lead to large scale displacement, injuries, epidemics and substantial economic losses to the communities. Though every emergency or disaster has it’s own characteristics and demands but the basic measures under disaster management include prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery for which regular training and awareness activities are needed especially among students. The objective of the study was to assess the extent of awareness about disasters and their management among school going children.Methods: It was an educational interventional design with an exploratory research approach adopting non- probability purposive sampling technique. Kendriya vidhyalaya no: 4 affiliated to CBSE was randomly selected, which is situated in mid of the Gwalior town. Survey method was employed, on 110 participants aged between 12 and 16 years using a pre-tested semi structured questionnaire data sheet.Results: The outcome revealed that out of 110 students 87.2% (before intervention) and 98.2% (after intervention) had knowledge of disaster management.Conclusions: These findings emphasize that the extent of knowledge is not yet satisfactory and there is a severe need of providing knowledge to the school children. Disaster management can be compulsorily included in academic curriculum of all the students. Effective, purposeful training and awareness programmes are to be timely conducted.

Pakistan is going through large scale infrastructure development with most of the state-led mega projects being funded by international financing agencies. Many of these agencies have mandatory social safeguards to mitigate the negative impacts of the projects for project-affected-communities especially women. This provides the government an opportunity to advance the conditions of women in project areas. However, the gender mainstreaming efforts usually face resistance from communities on various grounds including religion. This study explores the nature of resistance on religious basis and the strategies used by the development practitioners to manage such resistance. A qualitative research approach was employed and through a purposive sampling technique participants were recruited for this study. In-depth interviews were used to collect data which was analyzed by thematic analysis. The data was collected from development practitioners working for government and international financing agencies on infrastructure projects. Resistance towards development of women initiatives are on interventions, presence of female staff in communities, and on giving access to project teams, including women, to females in communities. Major reasons for this resistance were suspicion of projects, especially if the financing agencies were Western, and the fear that development of women may result in women losing their religious and cultural values which may lead to the breakdown of the institution of family and Islamic society. The strategies to deal with these resistances include involving religious leaders as stakeholders, peer education through religious scholars, exposure visits for local religious leaders, developing gender and cultural sensitivities of the staff, meaningful consultation with community, and effective grievance redress mechanism.

“Facilitating disaster nursing research in Oceania Region” Natural disasters in the Oceania region and surrounds include for example earthquakes, volcanic eruptions (Rabaul, PNG, 1994, Merapi, Indonesia 2006), tsunamis, floods,(Indian Ocean 2004) fires, drought (Australia, 2009) and also pest plaques and pandemics which affected the broader international community. Between 1980 and 2008, there were 380 disaster events reported in the Oceania region in which 4,450 people died. That is approximately 154 deaths and 668,786 people affected at a cost of approximately $US 889 million per year. However despite this significant number of deaths and injuries, there is limited reporting on the nursing experience during such disasters or the impact of nursing on communities during response and recovery. This is due to the prioritised clinical focus of nursing resources of most countries during these events. A network of authors and researchers is being established in the area to support the reporting of nursing research in developing countries such as Papua New Guinea, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Indonesia where nurses receive little post basic education, have limited opportunities to review the evidence for practice in disaster and emergency nursing, yet are regularly required to support the multidisciplinary disaster health team without essential support from the nursing research community. The network is essentially web-based and consists of a translational research approach via a network grid of researchers in response to a disaster event. Researchers from neighboring countries not clinically involved in the event respond by discovering and accessing data, analysing and reporting through a portal that enables timely reporting for discussion, publication, e-learning and dissemination of contemporary disaster nursing practices. This paper will report on the development of the network and its nexus with the WADEM Nursing Research Committee.

The aim of this study was to understand the satisfaction levels of undergraduate students of Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU), Islamabad about the usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for their academic purposes. The quantitative research approach was applied to collect data through a survey method from two hundred (200) sampled respondents from three faculties of QAU i.e., social science, natural science, and biological sciences. The convenient sampling technique was used for the selection of the respondents. A well-structured questionnaire was used for the survey purpose. Some of the questionnaires were self-administered while the rest were distributed among the respondents and collected later. The data were analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. The findings of the study showed that undergraduate students at QAU were using the internet, having sufficient knowledge of ICTs, and were using these ICTs for educational purposes, such as research work, class assignments, and communication with teachers. The Confidence Interval was [95% and MoR was 0.05). All the figures had less than 0.05 values which means the variables are correlating to each other. Some of the respondents stated that there is a lack of ICTs well-trained staff and limited space in the computer laboratories at the campus. The university administration should pay special attention to the provision of ICTs to the student so that they could get maximum benefits out of it. Moreover, the respondent’s knowledge about the usage of ICTs has a strong relationship with the students’ attitude towards the ICTs use. The respondent’s level of knowledge about the ICTs has a less likely effect on the major constraint in using ICTs.
