Eighteen participants were recruited for this study, including eight disease surveillance and biological/chemical threat analysts from PNNL, five GIScience experts from the Penn State GeoVISTA Center, and five infectious disease experts from the Penn State Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics (CIDD).Participants are asked to devise hypotheses from the collection of artifacts, and to arrange and modify artifacts and the workspace using standard office tools such as pens, post-it notes, and markersThis article reports synthesis

featured an hour-long synthesis activity in which participants work in isolation to organize and annotate a set of physical artifactsParticipants were provided markers, pens, adhesive tags, and post-it notes of multiple sizes and colors to modify the workspace and artifacts as desired.

In Germany no legal requirements exist that are valid all over Germany and that define in detail how to organize big events with respect to task forces in order to guarantee safety and help. Many decision makerssimply use experience instead of systematic procedures. Local authority districts may or may not have guidelines for such cases. The city of Dresden, for instance, which is the location of the practical case described in this article, has one (see Landeshauptstadt Dresden, 2004). It is based on a handbook for task forces where a non-scientific method to calculate the size of the task force is presented. Often, the task forces themselves have defined a set of rules which are applied.

This study was performed by allowing teams to manage unexpected and escalating situations in a simulated environment.Simulation sessions were performed with teams of between five and seven participants acting in different roles as the crew on the bridge of a passenger cruise vessel caught in a stormy night on the Atlantic OceanEach team went through two simulation sessions lasting for an average of three hours each. The programme was a 2-day programme with one simulation session each day.2 facilitators running the simulation

Purpose of this study was to examine the nature of cognitive, affective, and metacognitive (CAM) processes within the context of a high-fidelity simulation session designed to equip medical residents with medical content expertise and
