| Managing the inconceivable: participatory assessments of impacts and responses to extreme climate change | Summary
Designs could be adopted in future climate impact and adaptation studies to explore the implications and identify the responses and their implementation in both gradually evolving impacts as well as extreme climate change. |
| Research on Efficiency of Collaborative Allocation System of Emergency Material Based on Synergetic Theory | Summary
“It’s quite difficult to describe the development of most parameters quantitatively. We can not establish a precise mathematical model, and can only get the qualitative knowledge of the changes of the system.” Pp. 243 |
| Design of fault simulator | Summary
Due to the increase of process complexities and loss of major plant experts, it is important to provide solution to construct fault knowledge structures with respect to process knowledge. |
| Project training evaluation: Reshaping boundary objects and assumptions | Summary
interventions appear to be successful but references to gaining information via training and education did not include sharing or developing others either from a lack of means or motivation.Performance improvement was hard to assess.Greater attention should be paid to the front-end of training, not just computing the economic value or benefit of training, but ensuring true value-added by developing a shared understanding and identification with the organisational goals and working out a strategy to manage their achievement through appropriate boundary objects (e.g. benefits realisation maps and balanced scorecards). |
| Evaluation of Medical Management During a Mass Casualty Incident Exercise: An Objective Assessment Tool to Enhance Direct Observation | Summary
Although much attention was given to making the as realistic as possible, the scenario was still a simulation.The degree to which human performance during the simulation mimics behavior in a true disaster is unknown. The present evaluation system is also limited to markers of individual human performance, and does not evaluate equipment, information systems, or even patient management protocols.A three-part (triage, medical maneuvers, and radio usage) can provide a method to evaluate functional mass casualty incident exercises, and is easily implemented. For the best results, it should be used in conjunction with direct observation. The evaluation tool has great potential as a reproducible and internationally recognized tool for evaluating disaster management exercises. |
| Conventional Medical Education and the History of Simulation in Radiology | Summary
According to the authors, further work is required to validate some of the assessment tools so that they can be used to document proficiency. |
| Simulation for ward processes of surgical care | Summary
Involvement of a diverse range of potential end users, the involvement of representatives of all target groups should be sought in the in the development of a simulated ward. Simulations should include the formation of multicentre working and research groups to guide the development and use of simulated wards as well as a centralized database of validated scenarios and assessment tools. |
| D-DEMATEL: A new method to identify critical success factors in emergency management | Summary
Compared with fuzzy DEMATEL and evidential DEMATEL, D-DEMATEL is well addressed the fuzziness and subjectivity in linguistic assessment and more applicable to identify the CSFs in emergency management, which inherently has a linguistic assessment process. |
| A risk assessment tool for improving safety standards and emergency management in Italian onshore wind farms | Summary
Incorporate knowledge on the risk factors contributing to incidents in onshore wind farms is necessary between policy makers and regulators.The is the work of experts with a specific knowledge of the issue, it should not be a limit to possible configurations of risk that can be found in operating a wind farm and it can be implemented. |
| Development, initial reliability and validity testing of an observational tool for assessing technical skills of operating room nurses | Summary
Assessment of OR nurses’ technical skill is becoming a priority. The present evidence suggests that the ICATS-N_ could be considered for use as an assessment/training for junior OR nurses.In future empirical work, it is essential to replicate the present findings with larger samples that should ideally be drawn from different institutions. |
