This document discusses moving from an expert-driven approach to natural hazard analysis and emergency management to a more collaborative resilience-based approach utilizing citizen participation and open data sharing. It advocates engaging citizens as sensors to provide situational awareness during disasters through crowdsourcing and social media. Web 2.0 technologies can facilitate data collection and sharing from citizens, scientists, relief organizations and others to build more resilient information systems for preparedness, response and recovery.
The document discusses building social resilience through open sharing of information on social media. It proposes a model where citizens act as sensors to collaboratively collect and validate situational information during disasters. This creates a resilient ecosystem where geoscience data, crowdsourced reporting, and open geodata are shared among scientists, emergency managers, media, and citizens to conduct assessments and coordinate responses. When implemented through standards like SMEMessages, this approach can facilitate resilient, usable, and semantically reliable communication for risk and emergency situations.

The document discusses bacterial infections in cystic fibrosis (CF), focusing on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Key points:
1) P. aeruginosa is well-adapted to the CF lung environment and uses several mechanisms to establish chronic infection, including biofilm production and antibiotic resistance.
2) Early eradication of P. aeruginosa with combinations of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and colistin can delay or prevent chronic infection in 74% of cases.
3) Once chronic P. aeruginosa infection is established, eradication is almost impossible so preventing its establishment is important for lung health outcomes in CF patients.

FP7 EDEN project demonstrations as example of Collaborative Crisis Management...Massimo Lanfranco
While many different actors are involved in crisis management process, one of most effective approach for coping with crisis situation is a collaborative crisis management (CCM).
Thus to leverage a flow of information relevant for emergency managers and incident commanders it is more than crucial to have a reliable and up-to-date information gathered from credible sources.
A series of crisis management exercises conducted in Poland this year, in framework of FP7 project EDEN could be given as example of practical implementation of CCM.
Flood by design: challenges with governance of disaster risk in Liguria, ItalyMassimo Lanfranco
This presentation discusses the impact of bureaucracy and governance on the current and future disaster scenarios and the possible enhanced action that could be provided by “smart cities” when used as force multiplier.
In October 2010 a rainstorm hit some municipalities in Liguria (NW Italy) resulting in flash floods and debris floods. Rescue operations were carried out without situational awareness due to phone and cellular line failure and civil protection plan deficiency. Relief operations were carried out to recover to previous state with no lesson learned analysis nor legislative upgrade.
A window of opportunity opened to fulfill the disaster management cycle theory.
On October / November 2011, when a wider event struck both Tuscany and Liguria regions causing 12 fatalities, the situation was, more or less, the same as the past year: the window of opportunity closed without a reduction in risk exposure.
After this last event Ligurian Region administration started to re-evaluate hazard mapping and risk assessment methodologies, since debris floods were not considered in official hazard maps and urban planning regulations. But a month later, the temporary building restrictions were reformed to low strict level.
Different to Northwest Italy extensive floods of 1994, that led Italy to a new approach to hazard planning and risk evaluation, Liguria 2010 / 2011 events seemed
not to involve elected officials, bureaucracy and civil society on the new resilience concept and on the use of the emerging technologies and social media.
This document discusses using crowdsourcing and collaborative mapping during emergency responses. It describes an exercise where citizens reported missing person locations in real-time to emergency responders. The exercise highlighted opportunities to improve data sharing and geolocation across organizations. Web and mobile technologies can enable broader collaboration and use of real-time geodata to better inform emergency response and the public. However, challenges remain around data reliability, validation procedures, and organizational adoption of new approaches.

From élites to collaboration: towards a resilient approach to natural hazards...Massimo Lanfranco
This document discusses a research project aimed at developing a more collaborative approach to natural hazard analysis and emergency management. It notes that modern technologies have changed information production and sharing, allowing crowdsourced data and real-time updates. The project tested geolocating photos and damage assessments shared between response agencies and citizens. Going forward, the project will create an "information stream" using web tools to share hazard data, manage crowdsourced information, and raise risk awareness, improving preparedness and response through multi-level collaboration.
The document discusses how civil defence is evolving to address modern disasters and security challenges. It argues that civil defence must now take a wider, more human-centered approach focused on protecting individuals, rather than just defending states. This new paradigm of "human protection" involves leveraging Web 2.0 technologies and volunteers to create real-time situational awareness and a more integrated, cross-cutting strategy for responding to complex emergencies across the disaster management continuum. If successful, this modernized civil defence system could help societies better cope with both natural disasters and terrorist attacks in the 21st century.
This document summarizes the Crisis Camp Italy 2011 conference held in Bologna on disaster communication and information. It discusses lessons that can be learned from or mistakes to avoid during disasters. It also examines the roles of volunteers, citizens, researchers, and mobile sensors in providing real-time information to crisis rooms. New approaches are needed to validate information and transition from traditional command and control models to more collaborative models using communication technologies.
Rapisardi, Lanfranco, Dilolli, Lombardo (2011) web and mobile emergencies net...Massimo Lanfranco
1. The document discusses how web and mobile technologies can help manage information flow during disasters, improving preparedness and response. It argues these technologies allow geopositioning, video/photo sharing, and communication anywhere, integrating citizen input.
2. Recent disasters showed how crowdsourcing and social media mobilized volunteers worldwide to aggregate crisis data, rebuild maps, and aid response. This engagement of local communities represents a shift enabled by new communication technologies.
3. The authors analyze experiences in Italy using mobile apps and web mapping to engage citizens in preparedness, relief, and rebuilding efforts. They conducted exercises to test these tools and information sharing between responders and communities.
This document analyzes the seismic activity and effects of earthquakes in the Asti-Alessandria region of Italy between 2000-2003. It finds:
1) A major earthquake in August 2000 with a magnitude of 4.9 caused significant damage to buildings in the region despite its low magnitude.
2) The epicenter of this quake was located between the municipalities of Incisa Scapaccino, Bergamasco, Bruno and Castelnuovo Belbo.
3) Geological and geomorphological evidence suggests the presence of a deep northwest-southeast oriented structure or deformation zone that influences the seismic activity in the region.
Geo-information and remote sensing are proper tools to enhance functional strategies for increasing awareness on natural hazard prevention and for supporting research and operational activities devoted to disaster reduction.
This document discusses security issues in post-conflict Afghanistan. It notes that Afghanistan's goals are to achieve a stable security situation through building the Afghan National Army and Police. NATO aims to secure the territory from insurgents and build confidence with the local population. The document also lists factors affecting Afghanistan's security situation and key security actors. It advocates continuing to build the ANA and ANP while improving coordination between security forces.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
