Evaluation of water management effects on potato yield and water productivity in northeast Iran using the SWAP model

ABSTRACT The agro-hydrological SWAP model was employed for simulation of evapotranspiration, yield, and water productivity of potato under six irrigation scenarios (100, 90, 80, 70, 60, and 50% potato water requirement (WR)) in Fariman, Ghoochan, and Golmakan in the northeast Iran. The results showed that the SWAP model well-simulated potato yield and water productivity. The model slightly overestimates the potato yield and underestimates the water productivity. The results revealed that irrigation scheduling is an important factor effecting on evapotranspiration, yield, and water productivity of potatoes. By decreasing irrigation water to 50% WR, potato evapotranspiration and yield decreased in all three study areas. However, potato water productivity increased in Fariman and Golmakan and decreased in Ghoochan, as irrigation volume decreased to 50% WR. In Fariman and Golmakan, irrigation at the rate of 80% WR led to the best irrigation management to have maximum water productivity (2.96 and 2.48 kg m−3, respectively) and acceptable potato yield (21,376.2 and 10,998.7 kg ha−1). In Ghoochan, by adopting the irrigation scenario at the level of 90% WR, the potato yield decreased by approximately 7.6% compared to the full irrigation conditions. However, the highest amount of water productivity (2.27 kg m−3) was achieved.

In addition, this study also discusses the strategies and potential risks of selecting spokesmen, which provides wise decision guidance for enterprises.

Matching decision support modeling frameworks to disease emergence stages and associated management objectives

AbstractWildlife disease management decisions often require rapid responses to situations that are fraught with uncertainty. By recognizing that management is implemented to achieve specific objectives, resource managers and science partners can identify an analysis technique and develop a monitoring plan to evaluate management effectiveness. For emerging infectious diseases, objectives may take several distinct forms, dependent on the perceived stage of disease emergence (i.e., pre‐epidemic, early outbreak, mid‐epidemic, and endemic), the expected rate of spread, and the anticipated effect of the disease on host populations. Identifying modeling techniques and metrics that are linked to management objectives will require early and consistent communication between managers and science partners. We link modeling approaches that can be used to forecast and evaluate the performance of intervention strategies with a range of disease management objectives. Our aim is to help scientists recognize alternative modeling approaches which may better align with different forms of disease management objectives, and to help managers evaluate the relevance of proposed modeling approaches to their specified objectives for disease management. Recognizing that disease management objectives can take different forms, and thus require different modeling approaches, can help wildlife disease response teams (i.e., natural resource managers, scientists, and stakeholders working collaboratively) better prepare and respond to disease threats.

Evaluation of solid waste management effectiveness in Indonesia from 2019-2021: a geographic information system analysis

As a developing country, Indonesia has a significant requirement for solid waste infrastructure development and the establishment of a clean, environmentally friendly, and effective solid waste management system. In other hand, poor solid waste management data remains a major challenge for identifying investment needs in each region. Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Sampah Nasional (SIPSN) or National Solid Waste Management Information System is a comprehensive source of waste management data in Indonesia that was initiated by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia to describe existing conditions of solid waste management in Indonesia. This study used the Geographic Information System approach to evaluate waste management data from 2019 to 2021. The importance indicators are the solid waste generation, the effectiveness of waste management, the types of solid waste, and solid waste management facilities in various regions of Indonesia. The primary goal of this study is to comprehend the trend of existing state of waste management, as well as to collect and evaluate data from SIPSN and study literature on solid waste management performance in Indonesia. The findings show various areas that require infrastructure development and the deployment of adequate investment technology solutions in solid waste management. This analysis helps Indonesia for having sustainable waste management by reducing waste generation, improving recycling, and lowering environmental impact.

Using ecosystem models to inform ecosystem-based fisheries management in Europe: a review of the policy landscape and related stakeholder needs

The need to implement an ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) is enshrined in numerous regulations and strategies, at both global and European level. In practice, it is challenging to implement EBFM because it requires a complex evaluation of interlinked management effects and environmental and climate forcing on multi-species interactions, habitat status and human activities. Ecosystem models are one of the most critical research tools to inform EBFM, because they can integrate a wide variety of data, examine multiple and complex ecosystem interactions, and can make forecasts based on specific management scenarios. However, despite clear progress in marine ecosystem modelling, many models do not address policy goals and targets, which hinders uptake in policy. In this paper, we review the global and European policies and implementing bodies which directly or indirectly have a repercussion on the implementation of EBFM. Moreover, we highlight specific stakeholder needs related to the implementation of EBFM in European waters, which ecosystem models could help address. We review the policy commitments that drive these needs and the concerns raised by stakeholders during a survey and dedicated workshop. Key topics of concern were effects of climate change; bycatch; protected areas/fisheries restricted areas; and reducing the impacts of trawling. Stakeholders also provided specific questions related to these topics which ecosystem models could help address. Scenario and data results visualizations, as well as specific barriers in using the results of ecosystem models for decision-making are also discussed. A close involvement of stakeholders in scenario development and in designing graphical outputs is important, and can help overcome some of the main barriers that can hinder uptake of models and scenarios, including a lack of understanding of the benefits and limits of ecosystem models; insufficient involvement and interaction with stakeholders; and inadequate characterization of uncertainties.

Spatial−temporal variation of ecological environment quality and driving factors from 2000 to 2020 in Wuliangsu Lake Basin, Northern China

Due to global climate change and the intensification of human activities, the ecological function of Wuliangsu Lake Basin has been seriously degraded. Obtaining accurate spatial–temporal dynamics of regional ecological environment quality is essential for the evaluation of ecological management and restoration effects. This study assessed the trend changes and drivers of the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) in the Wuliangsu Lake Basin from 2000−2020. Firstly, the trend analysis method and hurst index were used to analyze the temporal and spatial variation of RSEI. Then the main factors of RSEI variation were analyzed using meteorological data, integrated nighttime lighting data, and population density data. Overall, the RSEI shows an increasing trend from the west to the east with a rate of 0.0034 year−1 over the last 21 years. The area change of RSEI was 54.22%, 63.80% and 52.43% for 2000−2006, 2007−2013 and 2014−2020, respectively, which indicates that most areas have a stable ecological environment. However, the overall Future Improvement Trend (FIT) area of RSEI is 42.21%, mainly in Dengkou area, Urad Qianqi and central area. This indicates that the RSEI remains stable locally and shows an overall improving trend. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the areas influenced by meteorological and human factors were highly coincident, mainly in Dengkou and northern Linhe areas and Urad Qianqi. Considering the lagging effect of ecological engineering, the sustainable development status of RSEI in the western and eastern regions will maintain an improving trend in the future. Our study confirms the complex relationship between RSEI and meteorological and human activities, which is crucial for the scientific management of watershed ecosystems under the influence of anthropogenic factors.

Implementation of The Balanced Scorecard Method in Determining Performance Measures in Higher Education Institutions (Case Study: ITB Swadharma)

To compete in higher education, ITB Swadharma needs to enhance its competence by designing and implementing effective strategies in managing higher education that align with its vision and mission. The success of management strategy can be achieved through a comprehensive evaluation of ITB Swadharma's management effectiveness. The Balanced Scorecard method and the interaction between ITB Swadharma's management and the PMB entity's management can be used to create a Balanced Scorecard strategy map. This map involves three strategic objectives from the perspective of development and advancement of learning, three strategic objectives from the perspective of internal business process efficiency, four strategic objectives from a customer satisfaction perspective, and two strategic objectives from the perspective of financial stability. To achieve these two strategic objectives in terms of financial aspects, a lagging indicator is required. Each strategic objective from the customer perspective requires actions. Strategic Objective 1 from the internal business process perspective requires 5 measurements, Strategic Objective 2 requires 3 measurements, and Strategic Objective 3 requires 3 measurements. Meanwhile, from the perspective of learning and growth, Strategic Objective 1 requires 1 measurement, Strategic Objective 2 requires 3 measurements, and Strategic Objective 3 requires 1 lagging indicator measurement and 1 leading indicator measurement.

Optimising Decision Making in Chronic Venous Disease Management with Micronised Purified Flavonoid Fraction.

Evidence-based medicine favours randomised controlled trials to limit bias and establish the effects of a treatment with statistical rigour. However, the controlled conditions and careful patient selection of randomised trials may produce results that cannot be generalised to a more diverse patient population in clinical practice. Therefore, there is growing recognition of the importance of supplementing randomised trial data with real-world evidence. Micronised purified flavonoid fraction has been investigated in several large-scale real-world studies, including the RELIEF and DECIDE studies, each of which included more than 1000 patients with chronic venous disease. These studies demonstrated a significant reduction in the prevalence and severity of chronic venous disease symptoms, and an improvement in quality of life. The chronic VEnous dIsorders maNagement and treatment effectivenesS evaluaTion in chronic vEnous disease, an international Program (VEINSTEP) study (NCT04574375), is currently underway in more than 6000 patients with chronic venous disease in nine countries. Preliminary data from one country (Morocco) indicate that chronic venous disease drug treatment, which was micronised purified flavonoid fraction in 75.7% of patients, was associated with a statistically significantly reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life. The overall results are awaited with interest. International chronic venous disease guidelines grade the evidence for micronised purified flavonoid fraction highly, as the benefits of micronised purified flavonoid fraction have been proven in randomised clinical trials and meta-analyses. Real-world studies demonstrate that the randomised evidence for micronised purified flavonoid fraction is generalisable to a clinical practice setting. Treatment decisions in chronic venous disease should consider evidence-based recommendations, including real-world data, as well as patient goals of symptom relief, functional improvement and/or better quality of life.

Effectiveness and appropriateness of core areas in an integrated protected area: A case study of Ecological Protected Areas in Yangmingshan National Park, Taiwan

While few studies have examined the situation of core areas in a large and integrated protected area, the present study targeted and evaluated the management effectiveness of the Mt. Huangzui and Lujiaokeng Ecological Protected Areas in Yangmingshan National Park, Taiwan, using the Enhancing our Heritage (EoH) toolkit as a holistic and systematic approach. During 2016–17, data and information were gathered through literature review, interviews, and focus groups. In total, 69 interviews were conducted and 14 workshops were held, creating 132 field records. The study results showed that the current wilderness paradigm could not achieve good results for the management of core areas in Yangmingshan National Park. Accordingly, we strongly recommended specific management plans or plan chapters for both sites. Poor local participation was another major deficiency. Many of the same weaknesses were also identified in Forestry Bureau Protected Areas. Located near urban areas, both of the Ecological Protected Areas in Yangmingshan National Park faced similar types of threat/pressure from invasive/alien species, recreational activities, and problematic native species. The study results further showed that the core area of a protected area could be holistically reviewed through management effectiveness evaluation. However, without the participation of stakeholders, even experienced professional park officers may be found to have group blind spots through such evaluations. This study also found the accumulation of sufficient data support to be a key prerequisite for implementing EoH.

Opportunities and Barriers to Monitoring and Evaluating Management Effectiveness in Protected Areas within the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Region, South Africa

Protected areas (PAs) that are not effectively managed will not contribute meaningfully to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework Target 3, which aims to ensure that a minimum of 30 per cent of terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine areas are effectively conserved and managed. Our study examined the monitoring and evaluation of protected area management effectiveness (PAME) as part of an adaptive management process in the Kruger to Canyons (K2C) Biosphere Region in South Africa. Our mixed methods approach, using online questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups, revealed that most PA managers in the network were familiar with the concept of adaptive management. The most widely used PAME evaluation tool used in the region was the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT). Some PAs did not use a formal tool but gathered scientific data using methods such as game counts and vegetation surveys to judge management effectiveness. Additionally, several managers that did not use a formal tool mentioned that they were constrained by time, staff capacity or budget. The introduction of a simpler tool for managers that are time- or resource-constrained or who are working in a newly declared or in-process PA may improve PAME evaluation within the network. We suggest that there is a need for improved communication, co-learning, and information sharing regarding PAME evaluation tools.

Piloting the rapid R-MEET framework at a coastal Ramsar Site

Context The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is critical to conserving wetlands. However, it has received much criticism, particularly about the inadequacy of reporting by Contracting Parties. Aim We previously developed a rapid assessment tool called the Rapid Ramsar Management Effectiveness Evaluation Tool (Rapid R-MEET) to alleviate the reporting burden and emphasise the Convention’s priorities. Methods In this paper, we pilot this tool in the Caroni Swamp Ramsar Site in Trinidad. We also conduct a policy-gap analysis to understand the context in which management decisions are being made. Key results We found serious gaps in management capacity and a complex institutional context in which wetland decision-making takes place that undermine the successful implementation of the Ramsar Convention in the twin island nation. Conclusions These limitations have created a system of Ramsar Sites with minimal monitoring, research, and enforcement to achieve the Convention’s goals, particularly crippling reporting on ecological character. Implications Better coordination among agencies involved in wetland management, as well as more robust resourcing for management, is needed to achieve wetland conservation goals at the national and site levels. We also found that the Rapid R-MEET can be completed efficiently and effectively by external researchers, providing an avenue to increase collaboration, support under-resourced management teams, and improve reporting to the Convention.

EFFECTIVENESS OF MANAGEMENT IN NATURAL PROTECTED AREAS IN THE NORTHERN AMAZON OF ECUADOR

This research aimed to describe and evaluate the Management Effectiveness of protected areas in the Northern Amazon of Ecuador in relation to the areas of context management, planning, inputs, processes and outputs, to establish challenges, respectively. For developing this study, different methodologies were used; with respect to the diagnosis of the current situation of the protected areas, bibliographic review and gray literature techniques were applied. Consequently, to evaluate Management Effectiveness, interviews with semi-structured questions were conducted to learn about the achievements and progress in management activities and processes, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the protected areas. Finally, to establish the main challenges faced in the management of protected areas, an expert judgment validation technique was carried out, mainly comprised of teachers, researchers and students related to the topic. The main results indicate that the Management Effectiveness of the six protected areas studied are in the satisfactory and very satisfactory range. However, there are specific problems in certain protected areas, such as the availability of financial resources to meet all the needs of the protected areas in terms of personnel capacity and establishment of infrastructure and equipment. Finally, the study concludes that Limoncocha Biological Reserve (91.52%), Yasuní National Park (83.62%) and Cuyabeno Wildlife Production Reserve (91.37%) have the best management performance, which means that their management effectiveness is very satisfactory and therefore allows them to fully meet their creation objectives.

Management effectiveness evaluation of protected areas in the western region

We conducted a baseline assessment of management effectiveness in the state and local protected areas, where Phase 1 of the Biodiversity and Adaptation to Climate Change Project was implemented, using the “Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool” (METT), approved by Order No. A/374 of the Minister of Environment and Tourism on October 1, 2018. The assessment involved more than 50 percent of stakeholder representation and was conducted with Protected Area (PA) managers, experts, and rangers. Management efficiency of the PAs in the western region increased to 67.08% in 2016, 70.32% in 2018, and 80.30% in 2021. The key values of PAs varied, however, the state of key values was improved due to the annual increase in management efficiency of PAs. In addition, improved efficiency of resource management of the protection administration, regularity of the control and monitoring studies carried out by the rangers, and increasing training and publicity for the public had an impact on the improvement of the state of key values. However, it was observed that the conservation of the key values was also likely affected by nature and climate change.

Use of the IMET tool in the evaluation of protected area management effectiveness in Central Africa

Protected areas play a paramount role in counteracting the negative effects of human activity on the environment. Without good management effectiveness they might not be able to fulfill their mission.The tools for management effectiveness assessments that are currently most widely used struggle to provide sufficient depth of analysis, present the situation with sufficient breadth of indicators, provide necessary objectivity in identifying challenges during the assessment, and suggesting possible paths for improvement.The Integrated Management Effectiveness Tool (IMET), a novel tool for management effectiveness, is introduced in the article. The purpose of the article is to show that IMET offers instruments for a more in-depth analysis when compared to other protected areas management effectiveness assessment methodologies. Furthermore, the article demonstrates how the introduction of instruments that aid in decision-making and encourage a results-oriented approach can be particularly beneficial in enhancing managerial effectiveness. Additionally, it is asserted that IMET enhances planning and monitoring by incorporating the necessary components into a system of Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation.IMET has been tested in the field. Ten protected areas from Central Africa (CA) were selected and the tool demonstrated good properties in discriminating between well-performing protected areas and those with a room for improvement. The initial results have pointed to challenges in the management effectiveness dimensions of inputs and process that the studied protected areas are facing.In the long-run IMET is expected to support transition from merely routine management to results-oriented management of protected areas.
