Identifying local oil spill risk factors: An application of Hazard Identification within the International Maritime Organization Formal Safety Assessment framework in Washington State

Abstract Number 677002 Oil spills from commercial vessels are low probability, high consequence events that threaten economic, ecological, cultural, and natural resources. Washington State Department of Ecology Spill's Program (Ecology) has a robust risk assessment program that focuses on identifying and reducing oil spill risks to Washington waters. In 2017-2018, Ecology developed and implemented a novel application of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Formal Safety Assessment process to lead a collaborative Hazard Identification for oil spill risk in Grays Harbor, Washington. This use of the IMO Formal Safety Assessment Process to assess oil spill risk was a first for Washington State and appears to be unique among US state governments. Working with area tribes, government agencies, and stakeholders, Ecology modified the IMO Formal Safety Assessment process to focus on local factors that could contribute to oil spill risks. Ecology facilitated structured brainstorming discussions during two workshops to complete Hazard Identification. Focusing on local factors fostered collaborative discussion among workshop participants, and allowed the process to benefit from local expertise about the characteristics of waterway and operational practices. The workshops resulted in the identification of 43 local factors related to oil spill risks, 34 recommendations to reduce risks based on current vessel traffic, and 10 recommendations to consider if vessel traffic increases in the future. The recommendations from this assessment are directly informing operations in Grays Harbor; in 2019, the Grays Harbor Safety Committee voted to adopt the risk assessment final report as an addendum to their Harbor Safety Plan. Ecology is also working with area tribes, government agencies, and stakeholders to review and prioritize the risk assessment recommendations with a goal of developing implementation plans for selected measures. This application of the IMO Formal Safety Assessment process represents a repeatable, scalable, and defensible method for conducting oil spill risk assessments. Ecology plans to use this process in other state waterways, and invites other organizations to consider adopting these methods. The presentation will walk through how to apply this process for localized waterway risk assessments and discuss best practices for success. Additionally, Ecology will discuss new risk analysis initiatives directed by the Washington State Legislature, including development of a quantitative model for evaluating oil spill risk and the potential effect of risk reduction measures.

The Nigerian population: A treasure for national development or an unsurmountable national challenge

Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world. It is equally one of the Less Developed Countries (LDCs) with very high population. Population growth is a very important element and a challenge in the development process in LDCs. The population of Nigeria is expected to continue to grow up to 239 million by 2025 and 440 million by 2050, thereby ranking it to 4th position among countries of the World with high population. This without doubt will place Nigeria in a position of major player in the global system, and more importantly in the African region. It is against this background that this study examines Nigeria’s population composition by poising the following questions; will Nigeria’s present and future population structure be a benefit or a burden? How can Nigeria’s relative share of working-age composition (15- 64) and dependents (under 15 and 65 and over) contribute to long term economic growth and development of the country? The findings of the study reveals that population growth is a critical factor in the development of any economy, providing workforce for production of goods and services to boost economic development and a critical determinant of the potentials of a country’s investment. The study findings also show that continuous population growth militates against economic growth through inducement of poverty, falling medical care/services and environmental degradation, worsen resource scarcity in areas where a large proportion of the population already relies on natural resource-based livelihoods. The study argued that population increase is not a problem in itself to any nation, and that there are some impeding factors associated with population growth such as corruption, inadequate planning, inappropriate implementation of development plans, poor budget/implementation and complacency in developing human capital. These are issues that the Nigerian state since independence have continued to battle with which has invariably made it a seemingly failed state. The study concludes that how much any country can benefit from its population size is dependent on the quality of human capital. Based on the findings, the study recommends economic diversification, government empowerment of Small and Medium scale Enterprises, paying attention to human capital development and target-oriented education.

Problems of Development of Housing and Communal Services in Russia

Despite the positive tendencies in housing and communal services (HCS) of the RussianFederation, in the 2020 positive changes occur very slowly and sometimes with sharpcontradictory deviations from the intended course. In this article, we highlight the majorproblems of the development of HCS that demand priority elimination. This study aimed atassessing the effectiveness of government programs implemented in the HCS sector and wasbased on the methods of analysis, induction, deduction and dialectical- logical approaches.Five main problems in the development of HCS were found out by using induction method.The identified problems relate to the field of strategic management and characterize theinefficiency of the development and implementation of development plans. These problemswere compared with the tools of private concepts of controlling the sphere of HCS. Namely,the problems of development were compared with the technology of forming a controllingsystem. Results indicated irregularities or incorrect execution of separate stages of controllingtechnology. The obtained results have theoretical and practical importance for increasing theefficiency of the development of the sphere. The results of the study can be used to clarifygoals, objectives, and adjust activities to accelerate the development of the industry.

Determinant Factors of Low Women's Participation in Development Planning in Jayapura Regency

This article discusses the determinants of low women's participation in development planning in Jayapura Regency. This study uses a qualitative method. Data were collected through observation and interviews. The focus of this research is to describe the determinant factors of women's participation in development planning, especially in the special autonomy era of Jayapura Regency. The results showed that women do not yet have equal abilities in following the process of implementing Musrembang. Only a small proportion of them have a good ability to share their ideas with the Jayapura Regency government. The level of education of women in Jayapura Regency is very unequal to the level of education of men so that during Musrembang activities most of the women were listeners and even if anyone could provide input on Musrembang activities, their number was insignificant. The lack of women's participation in development planning is caused by the patriarchal culture of the Papuan people. The position of women in the implementation of development planning is limited by prevailing customs. Women in this position cannot provide input and convey their aspirations directly to the Musrenbang activities. The voice of women is always considered to have been represented by the voice of men who traditionally have the right to voice.

The essence of the staff strategy of a modern organization

At present, the problems of systematic development and improvement of the company's personnel management system based on its strategic and innovative focus in conditions of uncertainty are urgent. In modern conditions, a thoughtful approach to personnel management is extremely important; it is necessary to implement a balanced personnel strategy. A well-built HR management strategy will allow top management to form a team that meets the realities of modern business. The development of a personnel strategy is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of development plans for an organization, especially if management intends to carry out a series of organizational or technological reforms. Due to the pandemic in 2021, these seem to be not uncommon. The strategy should take into account all areas of work with personnel – from recruiting to dismissal – and be clearly focused on the implementation of the strategic objectives of the organization's business development. This fact raises the need for a more effective linkage of planning for labor requirements with planning of business performance. The direct connection of the HR strategy with the пeneral strategy of the company determines the probability of its effective implementation. This unity provides a condition for the implementation of strategies aimed at the growth of qualified personnel.When developing the methodological foundations of the research, the author studied the publications of famous scientists. The article presents the results of the analysis of conceptual approaches of various scientists to the study of the company's HR strategy.

Implementation of Disaster PrepWise, an Online Disaster Preparation Tool for Older Adults

Older adults are less prepared for disaster situations than younger adults due to expenses, complicated preparation processes, and lack of support. We previously developed and tested a disaster preparedness program for older adults and showed its impact on improving preparedness and personal emergency support network. Using a 5-step community-engaged approach and in collaboration with our Stakeholder Advisory Board (SAB), we adapted this Disaster PrepWise program to an online platform and developed implementation plans within existing community-based service infrastructure. Community engagement processes allowed us to create an online tool that was considered “important” and “useful” by older adults and program deliverers. In terms of reach, 73 potential participants attended an introductory presentation and 47 participated. Those who participated were similar to those who did not in terms of gender and race. Twenty-seven participants completed surveys before and one-month after the program and reported engaging in an average of 2.9 additional recommended behaviors after intervention (t(26)=2.85, p=0.00). The major organizational barrier to adoption was limited staff time. Participating older adults reported adopting what they learned through the program in their daily life. Implementation process data showed multiple modifications made during delivery including delivery of the program in one instead of two sessions. The implementing organization reported their likelihood of maintaining this program within their practice as “extremely likely.” Community-engaged approaches and process data led to an acceptable and useful program and implementation strategies that helped enhance preparedness behaviors among older adults. Future work will focus on program dissemination and larger scale evaluation.

Challenges of Participatory Development in West Africa: A Study of Nigeria’s Vision 20:2020 Economic Blueprint

The formulation and implementation of development plans serve as the benchmark for evaluating economic progress in different sectors of an economy. Since independence, successive administrations in Nigeria have paraded different economic development plans. At the continental level also, several development programmes have been articulated for driving development in the countries of Africa. Many times, supposed laudable economic programmes have failed to identify with the interest of citizens, largely due to poor communication of such programmes. This study investigated citizens’ participation in the implementation of Nigeria’s Vision 20:2020. Among others, the study asked the following questions: to what extent are Nigerian citizens aware goals of Vision 20:2020 economic blueprint? What were the media used in popularising Nigeria’s Vision 20:2020 economic blue print? The study was anchored on the Participatory Development theory. The survey research design was used to study a population of 84, 004, 084 from which a sample size of 384 respondents was drawn. The sample was based on Keyton’s sampling system. Findings of the study showed that many citizens of Nigeria do not understand the goals of Vision 20:2020. It was also found out that many citizens of Nigeria cannot identify development projects executed in line with the goals of Vision 20:2020. Based on these findings, the study recommended, among other things, that Nigerian government should partner with civil society organisations to popularise the goals of Vision 20:2020. It was also recommended that citizens of Nigeria should be encouraged to participate in the formulation and implementation of development programmes.

What are the barriers to implementing national antimicrobial resistance action plans? A novel mixed-methods policy analysis in Pakistan

Despite political commitment to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR), countries are facing challenges to implementing policies to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics. Critical factors to the success of policy implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), such as capacity for enforcement, contestation by influential stakeholders and financial interests, have been insufficiently considered. Using Pakistan as a case study representing a populous country with extremely high antibiotic usage, we identified 195 actors who affect policies on antibiotic use in humans and animals through a snowballing process and interviewed 48 of these who were nominated as most influential. We used a novel card game-based methodology to investigate policy actors' support for implementation of different regulatory approaches addressing actions of frontline healthcare providers and antibiotic producers across the One Health spectrum. We found that there was only widespread support for implementing hard regulations (prohibiting certain actions) against antibiotic suppliers with little power-such as unqualified/informal healthcare providers and animal feed producers-but not to target more powerful groups such as doctors, farmers and pharmaceutical companies. Policy actors had limited knowledge to develop implementation plans to address inappropriate use of antibiotics in animals, even though this was recognized as a critical driver of AMR. Our results indicate that local political and economic dynamics may be more salient to policy actors influencing implementation of AMR national action plans than solutions presented in global guidelines that rely on implementation of hard regulations. This highlights a disconnect between AMR action plans and the local contexts where implementation takes place. Thus if the global strategies to tackle AMR are to become implementable policies in LMIC, they will need greater appreciation of the power dynamics and systemic constraints that relate to many of the strategies proposed.

Yerel Yönetimlerin Yoksullukla Mücadeledeki Yeri: Küresel Düzeyden Yerel Düzeye Yeni Yönelimler

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) estimates that around one billion people worldwide live under conditions of extreme poverty with under one dollar per day, cannot meet their basic human needs, and that at least one billion people live in relative poverty. This means more than one third of the world’s children are malnourished, more than 840 million adults, including more than half women, are illiterate and 1.2 million live without access to safe drinking water. This painful picture of global poverty clearly demonstrates that poverty has become a more chronic problem than ever before. Due to this situation, local governments have become more involved in the struggle against poverty recently. As a matter of fact, for various reasons, local governments can take an active role in the fight against poverty. However, local governments often lack data and information to identify causes of poverty, prioritize interventions, or target specific groups of the poor. Previously ignored by central planning, local governments have had little experience in the preparation and implementation of development plans. Inadequate delegation of power, disproportionate allocation of resources, or poor coordination between sectors further limited the capacity of local authorities to meet local needs. Limited downward accountability also limited the action of the political will of the newly authorized authorities. In short, local governments and local interventions have not been able to gain the deserved place and power in effective anti-poverty policies for a long time, but where they can play a more effective role in contemporary anti-poverty policies all over the world.

Curriculum delivery in Medical Education during an emergency: A guide based on the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) has led the majority of countries worldwide to implement emergency lockdown plans to limit the spread of the virus; this has resulted in the interruption of on-campus school and university instruction. Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in medical education have varied from country to country, from closures of medical schools to online/distance learning approaches to abiding by country-specific measures such as social distancing to stop the spread of the disease. The sudden transition from on-campus learning to exclusively distance learning is challenging for both faculty and students and has required a lot of preparation and other efforts in a short time. This paper aims to share the experiences of four authors in the middle east that have dealt with the sudden transition from ordinary teaching and learning to fully online teaching. The process of Curriculum delivery in Medical Education during an emergency has included; establishing a sense of urgency, establishing working teams, conducting needs assessments, developing implementation plans, communicating the curriculum content, capacity building, managing students' stress, finding tools to be used, managing student engagement and motivation, student assessment, anticipating challenges and planning for how to overcome them, and monitoring and evaluation of curriculum implementation and continuous improvement. The proposed process will hopefully assist the medical schools in response to the current pandemic (COVID-19) and when facing similar situations.

Early Implementation of Comprehensive Medication Management within an Academic Medical Center Primary Care Pharmacy Team.

University of Utah Health is an academic health care system that serves residents in Utah and beyond. Clinical pharmacists with the health care system's pharmacy primary care services (PPCS) team provide medication education, population-based care, and medication management through collaborative practice agreements. With the expansion of clinical pharmacist and technician positions and services, the need to measure and assess the impact of pharmacy services and create a value proposition for internal and external stakeholders became an important goal, and the decision was made to better align practices across all PPCS sites. This paper highlights University of Utah Health's approach to implement comprehensive medication management (CMM) across all primary care clinics with embedded clinical pharmacy staff and subsequent evaluation of implementation fidelity. Implementation of CMM was assisted by participation in the National A3 Collaborative and by using selected principles from the Active Implementation Framework. Stages of implementation included exploration, instillation, and initiating improvement cycles. An implementation team consisting of PPCS employees was created to help with standardization, developing implementation plans, and creating a dissemination strategy for all PPCS team members. The CMM care process was subsequently presented and implemented by clinical pharmacists in primary care clinics. Following implementation, fidelity measures were collected including identification and resolution of medication therapy problems (MTPs) and responses from a questionnaire distributed to the clinical pharmacists to self-report understanding and implementation of CMM key elements. The number and type of MTPs identified were tracked over 18 months. Within the measurement window, clinical pharmacists identified 17,953 MTPs. Of the total number of MTPs identified, 21% were related to indication, 53% to efficacy, 15% to safety and 11% to adherence. The questionnaire was distributed to clinical pharmacists 9 months after CMM implementation, with a 71% response rate. Pharmacists reported "always" or "often" performing each step in the patient care process as follows: indication (93%), effectiveness (93%), safety (87%), and adherence (93%). Reported barriers to implementation of the CMM include lack of time to complete all aspects of the process efficiently, lack of a standardized format for documentation, and changing practice habits. Implementation of a CMM process within University of Utah Health's PPCS services with the help of a national collaborative and implementation framework yielded identification of 17,953 MTPs over 18 months and foundational fidelity to core principles.

Scenarios evaluation on the greenhouse gases emission reduction potential in Iran's thermal power plants based on the LEAP model.

Over the past few years, the pace of fossil fuel consumption has witnessed an accelerating trend across the world which has been really noticeable especially for the power generation sector. With regard to its global importance, the environment must be also preserved and emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) as well as environmental costs need to be moderated. Given the urgency of energy preservation and environmental issues, the process of electricity generation should be evaluated. Accordingly, elimination of conditions along with prediction of energy consumption and pollutant emissions have been performed through energy simulation and modeling software tools, e.g., Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP). The energy consumption in thermal power plants for 2035 is estimated to be 209.7, 153.5, and 132.0 Bcm respectively for Reference (REF), Efficiency based on 5-Year National Development Plan (E5P), and Efficiency similar to UK (EUK) scenarios using efficiency improvement scenario of thermal power plants in Iran. GHG emissions for 2035 are thus predicted by 456.8 MtCO2-eq for the REF scenario, and 332.6 and 285.1 MtCO2-eq for the E5P and the EUK ones, respectively. Environmental costs for electricity generation system will also diminish via applying scenarios in this sector and its least amount, that is, US$835.8 million is related to the EUK scenario. Accomplishing goals such as better preservation of fossil resources and the environment will be consequently facilitated through improved efficiency and effectiveness of consumption of energy resources. To meet the objectives of environmental preservation, it is suggested to completely implement development plans and also make attempts to promote the technology of thermal power plants in Iran similar to that in developed countries. This study also compares the findings with those reported in recently published investigations.

Challenges and Prospects of Local Development Plan Implementation in Dire Dawa: The Case of Kezira City Center

In the history of Ethiopian urban development, planned urban development is a recent phenomenon especially in Dire Dawa. In the past, many endeavors were made to guide the development of Dire Dawa in a planned manner. For instance, Kezira is the first urban center in Ethiopia developed with a proper plan since the beginning of the ‘Gezira’ plan of 1909. Recently, various local development plans have been developed as a means to realize the structure plan of the city. However, so far no study has been conducted that critically analyzes the implementation challenges of the Local Development Plans in Dire Dawa. The purpose of this study is therefore to assess the administrative challenges and prospects in the implementation of Kezira Local Development Plan (LDP) in Dire Dawa City. To this effect, three research questions were employed to guide the study. These were: 1) what are the major factors that necessitate LDP in the city; 2) what are the administrative challenges hindering the implementation of Kezira LDP; and 3) what are the major prospects in the realization of LDPs in the city? Moreover, two data gathering techniques: simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to obtain relevant data required for the study. In the primary data gathering technique, questionnaire that were designed and distributed to Kezira residents were used. For further elaboration, interviews were conducted with selected officials and experts from Dire Dawa Land Development and Management Bureau. Secondary data from different sources were employed. The data gathered from both primary and secondary sources were analyzed using descriptive and statistical methods such as percentages, tables, charts, and photos. The results of the study indicated that factors like centrality, strategic, and comparative and competitive advantages of the study area necessitated LDP intervention. Lack of adequate and experienced professional staff, poor documentation of plan implementation records, shortage of budget, lack of commitment of management and lack of political attention for public concerns, proliferation of rent seeking attitudes, lack of operational manuals and procedures, and the existence of significant number of bi-national properties (belonging to Ethiopia and Djibouti) such as housings in the study area were major challenges encountered in Kezira LDP implementation. The major prospects for the implementation of LDP in the city were the redevelopment, and other policy and regulatory interventions being made by the Federal and the City Administration of Dire Dawa. Finally, based on the analysis and conclusions, possible recommendations were suggested for alleviating the major challenges of LDP implementation in the study area. Thus, it is recommended that the Land Development Management Bureau should work in collaboration with the community and other relevant stakeholders and exert all possible efforts to mitigate the challenges and thereby enhance the performance of LDP projects in the city in general.

Evaluation of the results of marketing management of retail structures’ innovative development

Evaluation of the effectiveness of marketing management of retail structures’ innovative development is necessary to measure the effectiveness of the enterprise and to evaluate strategic ways of business development. Both of these areas determine the competitiveness of retail structures (RS). The article substantiates the approach to the effectiveness of marketing management of retail structures’ innovative development based on the compliance of development plans, organizational systems and structures with the strategic goal of innovative development, as well as the possibility of achieving the goals of innovative development strategies at various planning horizons, monitoring and adjusting adopted and/or implemented innovative development plans. Evaluation of the effectiveness of marketing management of retail structures’ innovative development is based on a comprehensive approach to the results of RS development. The paper offers an original approach to evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of marketing management of RS innovative development, which allows you to identify the relationships between the components of the model to determine how the resources involved in marketing management processes generate an impact. The main directions of evaluating the effectiveness of marketing management of retail structures’ innovative development are determined through the effect received by the commodity circulation participants.

What physicians need to implement safer opioid prescribing: A qualitative study.

In response to the US opioid epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a guideline (CDCG) for prescribing opioids for chronic pain. Successful implementation of the CDCG requires identification of the information, skills, and support physicians need to carry out its recommendations. However, such data are currently lacking. The authors performed one-on-one interviews with nine practicing physicians regarding their needs and perspectives for successful CDCG implementation, including the perceived barriers, focusing on communication strategies. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and a thematic qualitative analysis was performed. Three major themes were identified: communication, knowledge, and information technology (IT). Physicians reported that open communication with patients about opioids was difficult and burdensome, but essential; they shared their communication strategies. Knowledge gaps included patient-specific topics (eg, availability of/insurance coverage for non-opioid treatments) and more general areas (eg, opioid dosing/equivalencies, prescribing naloxone). Finally, physicians discussed the importance of innovation in IT, focusing on the electronic medical record for decision support and to allow safer opioid prescribing within the time constraints of clinical practice. These qualitative data document practical issues that should be considered in the development of implementation plans for safer opioid prescribing practices. Specifically, healthcare systems may need to provide opioid-relevant communication strategies and training, education on key topics such as naloxone prescribing, resources for referrals to appropriate nonpharmacologic treatments, and innovative IT solutions. Future research is needed to establish that such measures will be effective in producing better outcomes for patients on opioids for chronic pain.
