Border Surveillance

The study reveals the theoretical and practical approaches to building of an all-European training strategy for remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) operators to increase their interoperability in the European Union countries and Ukraine. Nowadays, the border guard agencies both in EU and Ukraine have developed their national courses and training programs related to training of RPAS operators, however, the proposed in this study common approach is based on the Sectoral Qualification Framework in the field of border protection and Common Core Curriculum for border guards in EU and is aimed at expanding the use of small RPAS for a specific task of protecting the border sectors of various types (land, sea, air) in accordance with the Concept of European Integrated Border Management. The research was carried out in the frames of the Grant Program of the European Agency for Border and Coast Protection Frontex "The use of RPAS for border protection - tactics, guidelines, best practices". The study covers the analysis of the theory, market solutions, takes into account practical border protection experience, which resulted in creation of a common curricula for operators of RPAS in the specific sphere – surveillance of the state borders. The developed training course for RPAS operators provides an opportunity to train external crews of unmanned aerial vehicles, which will best meet the objectives and peculiar needs of the state border protection agencies of the European Union and Ukraine. The readiness of future RPAS operators to perform professional duties on border surveillance was diagnosed according to cognitive (knowledge formation) and operational (skills and abilities formation) criteria. Comparison of the values of these criteria before and after the formative stage of the experiment shows that the experimental measures for the application of best European practices in the training of RPAS operators have positively affected the quality of their training. The results of the study will help strengthen the state border security within the European context of border guarding by means of increasing the level of interoperability of RPAS operators in the EU countries and Ukraine.

This descriptive study was conducted on totally 460 students from the departments of nutrition and dietetic (n=143) and nursing (n=317) of a health college located in Akşehir County of Konya City in the period of December 1st-31st, 2015. Within the scope of the study, age, gender, department and grade characteristics of students, their individual and family member’s status in terms of consuming tobacco products, and their opinions regarding pictorial warnings to be printed on cigarettes packs, regulated by the European Union published on 17.12.2014.As a result of the study, it was determined that students’ opinions regarding efficiency of written and pictorial warnings on cigarettes packs were differing with respect to students’ gender and sigarettes usage status; and that illustrations on cigarettes packs were found more effective by female students and non-cigarettes user.Especially activities such as training programs, seminars/congress/conferences for male students and cigarettes users about tobacco products and their harms could contribute in raising awareness of university youth. Additionally, placing impressive or even scary images in larger sizes emphasizing serious health problems on cigarettespacks could be effective on significant decrease of usage of tobacco products. ÖzetKonya İli Akşehir İlçesinde yer alan bir sağlık yüksekokulunun beslenme diyetetik (n=143) ve hemşirelik bölümünden (n=317) toplam 460 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma 1-31 Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında uygulanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında, öğrencilerin yaşı, cinsiyeti, bölümü, sınıfı, kendisinin ve aile bireylerinin tütün ürünlerini kullanma durumu gibi bazı özellikleri ile sigara paketleri üzerine basılmak üzere Avrupa Birliği tarafından 17.12.2014 tarihinde yayınlanan resimli uyarılar hakkındaki düşünceleri öğrenilmiştir.Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, sigara paketleri üzerindeki yazılı ve görsel uyarıları etkili bulma durumunun öğrencilerin cinsiyetine ve sigara kullanma durumuna göre değiştiği, kız öğrencilerin ve sigara kullanmayanların sigara paketleri üzerindeki ifadeleri daha etkili buldukları saptanmıştır.Özellikle erkek öğrencilere ve sigara kullananlara tütün ürünleri ve zararlarına yönelik düzenlenecek eğitim programları, seminer/kongre/konferans türü etkinlikler üniversite gençliğinin farkındalık düzeyinin arttırılmasına ve bilinçlendirilmelerine katkıda bulunacaktır. Ayrıca, sigara paketleri üzerine daha geniş alanı kapsayan, daha ciddi sağlık sorunlarına işaret eden çarpıcı hatta ürkütücü resimlerin basılması tütün ürünlerinin kullanılmasının önemli ölçüde azaltılmasında etkili olabilir.

Vascular surgery has established a clear clinical and scientific profile in Europe over the last decade, but it presents a highly complex, disorganized, and unplanned pattern. It is a specialty in the majority of the present member states of the European Union (EU), but in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden this is not the case. With the current expansion of the EU with 13 countries, mainly from the former Eastern Bloc, it will be even more necessary to ensure at least some level of convergence in the standards of training, certification, quality assured practice, continuing medical education, recertification, access to and quality of care, etc, because free migration of doctors, and patients, is a derivative of the cornerstones of the EU treaties, namely free movement of the citizens (and capital). The profession has been successful in creating a simple and coherent system for organization within the European Union of Medical Specialists with a board of vascular surgery, for a (voluntary) European proficiency test for specialists (the EBSQ-Vasc), and for European continuing medical education, all in close collaboration with the premier scientific society, the European Society for Vascular Surgery. The fantastic reductions in working hours for young doctors in the EU represent a serious threat to standards of training and, ultimately, to the patients. This, in connection with increased litigation and compensation demands for incompetence and negligence, makes it even more necessary to establish European minimum standards for training, professional competence, and an obligatory European specialist examination. A key element in this difficult process is the establishment of vascular surgery as a specialty in all member states. Day-to-day collaboration with radiologic interventionalists has developed pragmatically at the local level in most places, but only when the administrative structures mature and vascular surgery becomes a specialty in all countries will the necessary tools be available for the avoidance of professional conflicts with colleagues from other specialties.

Abstract Background Countries all over the world are experiencing a shortage of registered nurses (RNs). Therefore, some countries, including Sweden, have tried to solve this by recruiting internationally educated nurses (IENs). Countries offer bridging programs as educational support to qualify IENs for nursing work in the destination country. However, there is little research on IENs’ experiences of bridging programs in European countries and how these programs facilitate their integration into the world of work and their new society. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of nurses, originally educated outside the EU (European Union)/EES, of the Swedish bridging program and of the program’s role in facilitating their integration into the nursing profession in Sweden. Methods A qualitative descriptive design was used to explore the topic based on 11 informants’ perspectives and experiences. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants at one university in Sweden. Data were collected by individual interviews using a semi- structured interview guide during the year 2019 and were analysed using an interpretative thematic approach. Results Two main themes emerged from the analysis: 1) Return to nursing, and 2) The bridging program as a tool for transition to nursing in Sweden. The first theme includes conditions and experiences such as personal motivation and determination, and support from others that the participants described as important in order to achieve the goal of re-establishing themselves as registered nurses in Sweden. Furthermore, the second theme describes the participants’ experiences of the bridging program as mostly positive because it led to new learning and achievements that were valuable for the transition to nursing in Sweden; however, the participants also emphasised the challenges of their transition into the nursing profession, which were related to instances of misrecognition of their professional competence and the uncertain outcome of the program. Conclusions This study found that the bridging program facilitated integration into the nursing profession for nurses educated outside the EU/EES, especially knowledge gained in clinical-based training. Thus, it is important to recognise and value the IENs’ experience and previous knowledge and training when developing the bridging program’s curriculum.
