According to the regulation rules which regulating the preparation and training of firefighters (acting with SCBA) for the intended purpose, their training should be carried out at least once a month in the open air and once a quarter in a smoke chamber. Unfortunately, the regulation rules do not provide clear and understandable rules and regulations for the arrangement of such heat and smoke chambers, training complexes, and the existing ones are morally outdated and do not meet the requirements of today. At the same time, the complex economic and social situation in the state and the excessive cost of constructing such training complexes, even by the models of previous years, making it impossible for them to be built in the garrisons of the SES of Ukraine. The analysis of foreign experience has shown that today it is possible to arrange a training complex for the preparation of firefighters using 40-foot sea containers. The use of such material allows the installation and planning of a multi-purpose container-type training complex (MPCTTC) for several working days, approximately 15-20 meters in height, which will correspond to the height of 4-5 storey buildings, which allow simulating rooms of different area, configuration and layout. The undoubted advantage of such simulators is the ability to fulfil the premises with real smoke and real products of combustion, the supply of fire extinguishing agent to extinguish the real fire, working out the rescue of victims at altitude and in limited space, etc. According to the analysis, the authors propose and reasoning their own design of the MPCTTC that allows performing all the necessary training exercises in the main areas of training firefighter and emergency response manager, namely: preparation of firefighters in SCBA, organization of rescue operations, fire tactics and rescuing from altitude. All of the above-mentioned advantages of MPCTTC make it possible to prepare a firefighter in conditions as close as possible to the real ones, which is an integral advantage in comparison with the existing simulators on the territory of Ukraine.

IntroductionThe general public's association with livestock (cattle, sheep and horses) raises a need for public safety. During emergency/disasters, animals are accidentally/intentionally released from containment structures. Loose livestock become agitated with unpredictable behavior which is a risk to both humans and animals. Specific training/protocols for responders are necessary for dealing with livestock.ProblemLivestock running loose in populated areas raises risks to people, especially during capture attempts. Untrained personnel subject themselves to undue danger when assisting with livestock capture. Capture plans should be in place in advance and training should be provided to first responders on safety issues regarding animals.MethodsA review of a loose livestock event brought forth the following considerations: (1) Evaluate the risks of a loose livestock/public event; (2) Inspect containment facility and identify secondary containment barriers, including fencing, buildings, rivers, etc.; (3) Develop plan for capture and containment within the immediate facility and surrounding area; (4) Provide training: training exercises, animal capture, basic animal behavior, and Incident Command System for first responders; (5) Arrange for emergency care or humane euthanasia for injured animals; (6) Coordinate capture and transport activities with local livestock experts.ResultsProduction of a comprehensive loose livestock plan can prevent injury and/or death to both people/animals. Agencies involved in safety and emergency response should have a well written plan that can be used by all appropriate local agencies involved in loose livestock response. The utilization of a loose livestock worksheet (template) with professional training is essential for emergency response agencies.ConclusionDisaster managers should develop a comprehensive plan and training program with other local agencies in advance of an event to respond effectively to capture loose livestock.

AbstractThe recently concluded 2019 World Swimming Championships was another major swimming competition that witnessed some great progresses achieved by human athletes in many events. However, some world records created 10 years ago back in the era of high-tech swimsuits remained untouched. With the advancements in technical skills and training methods in the past decade, the inability to break those world records is a strong indication that records with the swimsuit bonus cannot reflect the real progressions achieved by human athletes in history. Many swimming professionals and enthusiasts are eager to know a measure of the real world records had the high-tech swimsuits never been allowed. This paper attempts to restore the real world records in Men’s swimming without high-tech swimsuits by integrating various advanced methods in probabilistic modeling and optimization. Through the modeling and separation of swimsuit bias, natural improvement, and athletes’ intrinsic performance, the result of this paper provides the optimal estimates and the 95% confidence intervals for the real world records. The proposed methodology can also be applied to a variety of similar studies with multi-factor considerations.

PURPOSE After coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the WHO, a response from the Italian Health System to react to an unprecedented condition became necessary and sudden. The COVID-19 pandemic has required oncologists to redefine clinical organization and patient management. The purpose of our study was to document the difficulties emerging during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Italian oncology. METHODS We broadcasted an electronic survey to oncologic health care professionals. It consisted of 45 questions ranging from individual perception of pandemic management by hospital centers to physicians’ and nurses’ psychological distress and patient care. RESULTS A total of 383 oncology health workers participated in the survey. The majority were female (71.8%) and from central Italy (46.2%). Impressively, a total of 357 (93%) participants declared the oncologic department reorganized routine clinical activity, but only 40.5% were adequately trained about the required procedures; 20% of the survey respondents think they have not received adequate and timely protective devices. CONCLUSION Our survey demonstrated the flexibility of oncologic teams. However, the emergency response quality has been heterogeneous, and several drawbacks have emerged from the first analyses investigating how the world of oncology changes in the COVID-19 pandemic. Information, protection, testing, and training of health care professionals are key words that should be kept in mind to encourage recovery after this tragedy and to be ready to face a similar emergency in the future.
