This presentation is on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in to local development planning process and it provides a tool for development practitioners.
Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster.

Community based disaster risk managementProfessor5G
Community Based Disaster Risk Management .
Communities are the first responders in case of any disaster. Therefore, community based disaster risk management approach should be the core of any risk reduction approach. Community based disaster risk management approach (CBDRM) is a process, which leads to a locally appropriate and locally ‘owned’ strategy for disaster preparedness & risk reduction. Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) is the result of this realization and aims to create opportunities and build partnerships with the communities to establish disaster resilient societies .Yodmani (2001) defined community based disaster risk management as an approach that reduces vulnerabilities & strengthens people’s capacity to cope with hazards.
Vulnerability describes the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. There are many aspects of vulnerability, arising from various physical, social, economic, and environmental factors.
The probability that a community’s structure or geographic area is to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of a particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction, and proximity to a hazardous area.
Coping Capacity is the ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters.

Preventing and Managing Supply Chain DisruptionsThomas Tanel
Supply chains worldwide have been battling various risks and challenges for some time. Each challenge not only threatens to disrupt operations, but also may have a negative financial impact on business performance and prevent an organization from meeting the demands from stakeholders, customers, shareholders, and regulators.
Supply Chain Council members have reported that less than half of enterprises have established metrics and procedures for assessing and managing supply risks and organizations lack sufficient market intelligence, process, and information systems to effectively predict and mitigate supply chain risks. Does this sound like your organization?
f so, supply chain disruptions can be extremely costly. A disruption in your supply chain can cost millions of dollars in lost time, energy and resources. Their effects are both direct (e.g. halting production altogether) and indirect (e.g. on stock values). Taking steps to help reduce supply chain disruption is the only way to avoid these costs.
Proactive discovery and visibility of risks is the key to the prevention and management of supply chain disruptions.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Development Planning Process
Tools for Practitioners
Vishaka Hidellage | September 2010
2. DRR in CCA
Increased frequency and severity of
hazards
Communities dependant on natural
resource based livelihoods are more
vulnerable
Livelihoods get affected
Disaster risk is increasing
If mal-development trends continue,
will result in irrecoverable impacts
3. An explanation of DRR-CCA linkages
Increased frequency and
severity of hazards
Communities dependant on
natural resource based
livelihoods are more vulnerable
Livelihoods get affected
Disaster risk is increasing
If mal-development trends
continue, will result in
irrecoverable impacts
5. Practical Action’s perspective
on CCA through livelihood
centered approaches
Vulnerable groups dependant on nature for their
living will be worst hit
Their livelihood asset base will be further deprived
Loose links to governance environment will further
aggravate the damage
Traditional knowledge of the community is not
sufficient to adapt, they require forecasting and
other scientific information
Planners cannot plan without local information
Building the adaptive capacity through livelihood
centered approach is the way forward
7. Adaptive Livelihood Framework
Knowledge will play a major role in the livelihood asset
base
Global, National and Local policy and governance
environment together create the enabling environment
Practitioners can either work on building the livelihood
asset base or influencing the global, national and local
policies and practices to protect the vulnerable producer
groups (or both)
8. Adaptive Livelihood Framework
The enabling environment should be strengthened and
vertical linkages should be created between the actors
in the governance environment and the livelihood
groups
Community knowledge should be used in making
informed policy decisions while information (Scientific)
should be available for people to make informed
decisions
9. Tools for assessment and
planning
Assessing the increased risk
Assessing the livelihood asset base
Assessing the enabling environment
10. Assessing Risk
Disaster Prioritization – increase the
frequency of monitoring disasters by using
these tools
Hazard mapping – identify the livelihoods
and people who are at high risk to climate
induced hazards
Seasonality and trend analysis
Gender based roles and relations analysis
