In this paper we briefly analyse the integration into web access of data recorded from the archaeological area of Khatm al Melaha (Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates), combining different geomatic techniques at different scales from a broad yet technical perspective. In order to improve scientific analysis, the documenting process should always consider every aspect of recording as well as preventive control, conservation and interpretation. Along these lines, some open–access, web–based 2D and 3D JavaScript libraries have been created to unify, simplify and analyse their different uses through a web platform called threeDcloud.

This paper presents a knowledge representation framework and provides tools to allow the representation and presentation of the tangible and intangible dimensions of culinary tradition as cultural heritage including the socio-historic context of its evolution. The representation framework adheres to and extends the knowledge representation standards for the Cultural Heritage (CH) domain while providing a widely accessible web-based authoring environment to facilitate the representation activities. In strong collaboration with social sciences and humanities, this work allows the exploitation of ethnographic research outcomes by providing a systematic approach for the representation of culinary tradition in the form of recipes, both in an abstract form for their preservation and in a semantic representation of their execution captured on-site during ethnographic research.

There has been researched the institutional direction and its main forms of the preservation of the historical and cultural heritage in the UAE. There has been clarified the role of the National Archives,as an important archival and research institution which assists to implementation of the politics of memory and meaningful filling of the national idea. There have been reviewed main historica museums and cultural objects as important institutions. There has been analyzed activities of the Dhakira Center for Heritage studies in the UAE. The creation of the museum city block on SaadiyatIsland of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi as a center of the national and world cultural heritage, multicultural exchange within the global perception of the world has been studied. The state policy of the preservation of the traditional culture and its material components for strengthening of the national identity has been considered. In this context attention was paid to conducting of cultural andethnographic festivals, working with youth for the purpose of the patriotic education.

Tenfold Increase

High density remote survey technologies have become widespread practices. In recent years, we have seen a tenfold increase in volume of digital data acquired. Beyond this sheer amount of data, multimodal three-dimensional data exploitation has become another common challenge for specialists. The Aspectus project aims to ease the access to complex three-dimensional data and to promote collaborative work and remote expert assessment. Thus, we can get past the problem of distance and availability of the “object of expertise”, ranging from cultural heritage sites to artefacts. By extension, it enables us to circumvent the ever-present problem of destruction. Aspectus takes advantage of available open source solutions to produce a flexible web-based visualization and collaboration tool. After an overview of the theoretical framework and its technical implementation, we will discuss a practical application as part of the “Bibracte Numérique” project.

The practice of digitizing cultural heritage sites is gaining ground among conservation scientists and scholars in architecture, art history, computer science, and related fields. Recently, the location of such sites in areas of intense conflict has highlighted the urgent need for documenting cultural heritage for the purposes of preservation and posterity. The complex histories of such sites requires more than just their digitization, and should also include the meaningful interpretation of buildings and their surroundings with respect to context and intangible values. Project Anqa is an interdisciplinary and multi-partner effort that goes beyond simple digitization to record at-risk heritage sites throughout the Middle East and Saharan Africa, most notably in Syria and Iraq, before they are altered or destroyed. Through a collaborative process, Anqa assembles documentation, historically contextualizes it, and makes data accessible and useful for scholars, peers, and the wider public through state-of-the-art tools. The aim of the project is to engage in capacity-building on the ground in Syria and Iraq, as well as to create an educational web platform that informs viewers about cultural heritage in the region through research, digital storytelling, and the experience of virtual environments.

BACKGROUND Management of cancer patients in the current era of COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant challenge on health care systems. OBJECTIVE We explored the views of oncologists for the management of breast cancer patients during COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS A web-based questionnaire using SurveyMonkey was submitted to licensed oncologists involved in breast cancer management in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and United Arab Emirates. The survey focused on characteristics of participants, infection risk among cancer patients and possible treatment modifications related to different types of breast cancer RESULTS The survey was completed by 82 participants. For early HR positive, HER2-negative breast cancer,74.4% supported using neoadjuvant hormonal therapy in selected patients, and 58.0% preferred giving 6 over 8 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy when indicated. Only 42.7% preferred CDK4/6 inhibitor with hormonal therapy as first line in all patients with metastatic HR-positive disease. 67.1% of participants supported using adjuvant trastuzumab for 6 instead of 12 months in selected patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. For metastatic HER2-positive, HR-positive breast cancer, 80.5% of participants supported the use of hormonal therapy with dual anti-HER2 blockade in selected patients. The preferred choice of 1st line treatment in metastatic triple negative patients with BRCA mutation and PDL1<1%, was PARP inhibitor according to 42.5% of the participants, and atezolizumab with nabpaclitaxel if the PDL1>1% according to 70.4% of the participants. CONCLUSIONS Several modifications in breast cancer management is supported by the survey participants. These modifications need to be discussed on local basis taking into account the local infrastructure and available resources. CLINICALTRIAL none

Salinity Management

This chapter describes a new approach to environmental decision support for salinity management in the San Joaquin Basin that focuses on Web-based data sharing using tools such as YSI Econet and continuous data quality management using an enterprise-level software tool WISKI. These tools offer real-time Web-access to sensor data as well as providing the owner full control over the way the data is visualized. The same websites use GIS to superimpose the monitoring site locations on maps of local hydrography and allow point and click access to the data collected at each environmental monitoring site. This information technology suite of software and hardware work together with a watershed simulation model WARMF-SJR to provide timely, reliable, and high quality data and forecasts of river salinity that can used by stakeholder decision makers to ensure compliance with state water quality objectives.
