The document discusses using FME to automate the cleansing and structuring of land ownership data for linear asset management projects. Previously, processing Land Registry data into the required format took over a day per project due to manual effort. Using FME, the process can now be completed in seconds by splitting names and addresses, standardizing formats, and validating fields. This saves significant time and money compared to manual work, and increases the return on investment from their existing FME software.

Linknode's platform uses location services, web mapping and mobile apps to bring spatial datasets into the real world through AR.

AGI Cymru 2013 - Perspectives from Above - Getmapping PLC

Use of web mapping tools to tackle local environmental issues This paper describes some of the recent uses of modern digital mapping tools by local action groups, Parish Councils and independent organisations to visualise environmental issues in order to aid decision making. Over the past 3-6 years, digital map data has become easier to transmit over the Web due to better standards and improvements in the speed and reliability of the Internet. The way in which we view the Web has also changed dramatically with a wide range of internet-enabled devices and this has lead to high profile companies advocating the use of digital mapping, such as Apple, Google and Microsoft, and as a result making it an everyday part of our lives. Professional mapping software and map data has long been an essential aid in decision making processes. However, until recently gaining access to the necessary tools and data was particularly difficult for smaller local organisations due to cost, licencing and available skills. The introduction of the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA) and the release of Ordnance Survey OpenData played a part in changing this. Once this data was available, companies like Getmapping have been able to build lightweight web-based GIS tools to cater for this sector’s needs. Combining these tools and map layers with Getmapping’s aerial imagery and elevation datasets, national address datasets and other publically-available data such as Natural England layers makes GIS easy to grasp and immediately usable by non-GIS users. Uses of Getmapping’s GIS include assessing the recent flooding in the South West of England by Town and Parish Councils, plotting efficient and environmentally-conscious routes for broadband fibre in Somerset, and visualising the state of the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). There are, of course, many other potential uses of this GIS system to tackle topical, local issues and some of these will be highlighted.

Max Havelaar France en partenariat avec la Plate-Forme pour le commerce équitable (PFCE) et l’entreprise Ethiquable, ont réalisé une étude sur les pratiques de préfinancement des campagnes de production agricoles dans les filières du commerce équitable. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre du plan d’action national en faveur du commerce équitable (2013 -2016) qui vise notamment à encourager la mise en place d’outils de financements (publics et/ou privés) pour faire face aux besoins de préfinancement des importateurs et des organisations de producteurs. L’étude cherche ainsi à identifier et disséminer les bonnes pratiques et mécanismes innovants de préfinancement des campagnes de production agricoles dans le commerce équitable. Le travail de recherche a été mené par le réseau CERISE et animé par un comité de pilotage formé de la PFCE, de Max Havelaar France, d’Ethiquable, du ministère français des Affaires Etrangères et du Développement international, de l’Agence Française de Développement, de la Région Île–de–France et du Crédit coopératif.

Equipping hospital

The document discusses guidelines for medical equipment planning in hospitals. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of the hospital administrator, architect, and medical equipment planner in determining equipment needs based on the scale and specialties of the hospital. Equipment is categorized as built-in, depreciable, and non-depreciable, with examples provided. Key drivers for equipment planning include need, technology, service, price, and training. Guidelines are prescribed by organizations like USFDA and certifications like ISO are important to ensure equipment quality.

Communication system in healthcare

Communication systems in hospitals use various methods to exchange information between patients, staff, and machines. Verbal communication informs patients of medical procedures while non-verbal cues like eye contact show care. Formal policies are rigid while informal chatting allows interaction. Technology aids communication for those unable to speak. Signs and symbols help all understand settings. Telephone and pager systems connect staff. Telemedicine allows remote consultations. Public address and CCTV boost security. Color codes standardize emergency responses. Posters further educate.

This document discusses the benefits of using a web-based environmental and social management plan (ESMP) system compared to static documents. It notes that static ESMP documents have problems like being inaccessible to many users, out of date, and lacking a single source of truth. A web-based ESMP viewer allows users to interact with maps, query data, link to documents, collaborate on edits, and perform spatial analyses from anywhere. However, initial financing and ongoing maintenance of the system can be drawbacks. Overall, the document argues that a web-based approach provides accessibility and flexibility that are essential given the dynamic nature of project environments.
