Nowadays, a well functioning ICT infrastructure belongs to the most critical factors of companies across all branches of business. An importance of ensuring the continued operation of information systems, or the rapid recovery of the systems in the case of emergency, has increased. These needs require creating business continuity management plan and disaster recovery planning. This paper descri...

Disaster planning and response to a mass casualty incident pose unique demands on the medical community. Because they would be required to confront many casualties with bodily injury and surgical problems, surgeons in particular must become better educated in disaster management. Compared with routine practice, triage principles in disasters require an entirely different approach to evaluation ...

During disaster times, we need specific information to rapidly plan a disaster response, especially in sudden-onset disasters. Due to the inadequate capacity of Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS), many developing countries face a lack of quality pre-disaster health-related data and efficient post-disaster data processes in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Considering the significan...

The goal is to investigate, theoretically and through analyzing existing data, the role that sea spray plays in transferring heat, moisture, and momentum across the air-sea interface, especially in high winds. Ultimately, I plan to develop simple, fast, physics-based parameterizations for these air-sea fluxes for use in large-scale models, especially those simulating tropical and extratropical ...

Why do voters often reward incumbents when they receive government spending? We develop a model in which distributive spending provides voters not just with a financial benefit, but also an opportunity to observe and judge the appropriateness of government decisions. Empirically, we test the model’s predictions using individuallevel data on FEMA disaster relief matched to voter turnout records,...

Such meta-ability cannot be learned in the traditional Japanese instructional way of knowledge being transmitted by teachers. When a teacher designs an instruction plan for information education, it is necessary to include not only the targ...

The use of social technologies in language learning is becoming more widespread. Although theoretical and methodological frameworks exist for the use of these technologies for language learning, their applicability is still unclear. To fill this void, the current thesis sets off to explore the theoretical framework of Papert’s constructionism as a pervasive theoretical paradigm on which the use...

I had requested that all our information about the new calling plan be collected and be ready on my desktop for review by 8:00 am Friday morning. I was worried that I might not be well understood, and so I took great care to make myself very clear. It is now 10:00 am. I am at my desk, and I have no idea where that information is or if I’m going to get it in time. I think I need to rethink the v...
