Emergency Risk Management

The rapid spread of new coronaviruses throughout China and the world in 2019–2020 has had a great impact on China’s economic and social development. As the backbone of Chinese society, Chinese universities have made significant contributions to emergency risk management. Such contributions have been made primarily in the following areas: alumni resource collection, medical rescue and emergency management, mental health maintenance, control of staff mobility, and innovation in online education models. Through the support of these methods, Chinese universities have played a positive role in the prevention and control of the epidemic situation. However, they also face the problems of alumni’s economic development difficulties, the risk of deadly infection to medical rescue teams and health workers, infection of teachers and students, and the unsatisfactory application of information technology in resolving the crisis. In response to these risks and emergency problems, we propose some corresponding solutions for public dissemination, including issues related to medical security, emergency research, professional assistance, positive communication, and hierarchical information-based teaching.

Qualitative Characteristics

For processes of environmental risk management, the results of a study of its perception are important. The identified priorities in the public concern about the state of the environment should be taken into account when preparing the necessary environmental measures. The prevention of risk or its reduction should take into account not only quantitative, but also qualitative characteristics of risk, which are caused by various factors and mechanisms of risk perception. Risk perception research data is essential for adequate risk communication, so managers involved in risk management should be interested in increasing the use of such data.

The West Pacific Petrochemical Company Limited, Dalian is the first enterprise that adopts risk-based inspection (RBI) technology in the oil refinery plants in China, the application of RBI technology plays a positive role in guaranteeing long-cycle operation of the plant. With the continuous deepening of degree of understanding of API 581 standard and continuous enriching of experience with use of RBI software, by tracing the risks, there are three major factors that affect the risk of equipment or component, i.e. risk consequence, failure likelihood and management system, which are taken as the direction of efforts for guiding the implementation of equipment risk management measures. If there are litigation measures in the release consequence (sprinkler system or passive litigation technology) that can reduce continuous release rate and release time, then the release consequence of equipment can be reduced; if inspection techniques are adopted with respect to corrosion failure mechanisms or the proportion of inspection is increased in the failure likelihood, then the failure likelihood can be reduced effectively; and other measures such as analyzing the problems listed in each item of management system assessment and taking measures to improve management level and thus increase scores of management system by comparing the difference between the management of the enterprise itself and those listed in the standard. By implementing above measures, the ability of equipment risk management is improved and thus the intrinsic safety of equipment management is effectively guaranteed.

Introduction: The severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic disrupted medical care for persons with cancer including those with lymphoma. Many professional societies recommend postponing, decreasing or stopping anti-cancer therapy in selected persons during the pandemic. However, although seemingly sensible these recommendations are not evidence-based and their impact on anxiety and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) is unknown. Methods: Surveyed 2532 subjects including 1060 persons with lymphoma, 948 caregivers and 524 normal, uninvolved persons using a purposed-designed questionnaire on a patient organization website. Respondents also completed the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety and patient respondents, the EORTC QLQ-C30 instruments to quantify anxiety and HRQoL. We also evaluated caregiver support and an online education programme of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO). Data of HRQoL from a 2019 pre-pandemic online survey of 1106 persons with lymphoma was a control. Results: 33% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 30, 36%) of lymphoma patients and 31% (28, 34%) of caregivers but only 21% (17, 24%) of normal individuals had any level of anxiety (both pair-wise P < 0.001). Amongst lymphoma respondents physical exercise and better caregiver support were associated with less anxiety whereas female sex, receiving therapy and reduced therapy intensity were associated with more anxiety. Paradoxically, lymphoma respondents during the pandemic had better HRQoL than pre-pandemic controls. Reduced therapy intensity was associated with worse HRQoL whereas respondents who scored caregiver support and the online patient education programme high had better HRQoL. Conclusions: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic lymphoma patients and their caregivers had significantly higher incidence of anxiety compared with normals. Lymphoma respondents reported better HRQoL compared with pre-pandemic controls. Reduced therapy-intensity in patients with cancer may have unanticipated adverse effects on anxiety and HRQoL. Regular and intense support by caregivers and online education programmes alleviate anxiety and improve HRQoL.
