Management Cycle

It is now commonly accepted that the management of flood risks has to be fulfilled within an integrated framework. About two decades ago flood risk was managed from a limited perspective predominantly by means of structural measures aimed at flood control. In contrast integrated flood risk management incorporates the complete management cycle consisting of the phases prevention, protection and preparedness. In theory it is a well described concept. In the stage of implementation, however, there is often a lack of support although a consistent policy framework exists. Consequently, the degree of implementation must be rated as inadequate in many cases. In particular this refers to the elements which focus on preparedness and prevention. The study to which this paper refers emphasises the means and potentials of scenario technique to foster the implementation of potentially appropriate measures and new societal arrangements when applied in the framework of integrated flood risk management. A literature review is carried out to reveal the state-of-the-art and the specific problem framework within which scenario technique is generally being applied. Subsequently, it is demonstrated that scenario technique is transferable to a policy making process in flood risk management that is integrated, sustainable and interactive. The study concludes with a recommendation for three applications in which the implementation of measures of flood damage prevention and preparedness is supported by scenario technique.

Antibiotic stewardship: a milestone in everyday clinical practice Infectious diseases caused by multi-resistant pathogens are increasing worldwide and are challenging for clinicians, also in urological setting. The alarming situation is worsened by the limited perspective of new antibiotic developments. Several authors demonstrated that in Italy we have alarming data about resistance rates: in Campania about 58% of Escherichia coli are resistant to fluroquinolones, as 46% to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. On the other hand, the resistance rate against fosfomycin is still low less than 5%. More alarming data are reported about Klebsiella pneumoniae: resistance rate to flurquinolones 65% and 58% to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. A continuing uncritical, non-guideline-conform and overuse of antibiotics leads to selection of multidrug-resistant pathogens, which can colonize patients and make the treatment a real challenge. A revision of our approach to urinary tract infections at the light of antibiotic stewardiship principles are urgently required, in particular starting from the everyday clinical practice.

The Indian Ocean

In this paper, I have tried to reflect on what cosmopolitanism might mean in a very different era of globalisation than the present. Although cosmopolitanism, as an expansive and sociable vision, is often contrasted with the geographically limited perspective and claustrophobic affinities of nationalism, the term originates in a historical period before the rise of nationalism in Europe. I argue that the residents of the civilisations around the Indian Ocean in the medieval and early modern world were cosmopolitan even by the standards of the high modernist meaning of the term. Not only did a range of people transact and translate across different languages, but they also knew how to conduct themselves in different cultural settings with people of different religious beliefs, while respecting the disparate religious, social, and cultural practices of their neighbours.

Limited-perspective bias is a human tendency to overestimate the completeness of what we know and to act on our own (limited) perspective of what is important (Moore & Burke, 2004a). In organizations, each person possesses a view that evolves from what he or she experiences and observes on a daily basis. Given one’s location or role in an organization, these views often differ and can affect one’s perspective on a problem or situation (O’Reilly & Pondy, 1979). Each individual perspective, however, is by and large “valid” in that it represents a distinct cognitive reality within that firm.

Cyclone Nargis

This paper exposes the limited perspective that we have over the problem of jurisdiction in emergencies. In the classic theory of emergency powers, sovereign control over borders is assumed, and jurisdictional problems are acknowledged when threats come from outside those borders or when they are handled outside. However, what characterizes many emergencies is not the exercise of sovereign jurisdiction but rather contestations over problems of jurisdiction and competing jurisdictional claims. To illustrate the need for a broader perspective over emergencies’ jurisdictional politics, this paper tells a multilayered story about a successful intervention by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in one of Myanmar's natural disasters (Nargis 2008). ASEAN's role in its Member State's disaster should be understood in view of its unique regional solution to the jurisdictional problem that this disaster raised—the problem of access by foreign aid to a domestic area affected by a natural disaster.

Evidence That the Association Between Hypernasality and 22q11 Deletion Syndrome Still Goes Undetected: A Case Study

This manuscript presents a case study that underscores the need for increasing awareness that hypernasality, velopharyngeal insufficiency, and a number of other anomalies may be related through the common etiology of 22q11 deletion syndrome. The child presented here has a long-standing history of cardiac defects, hypernasality, poor speech intelligibility, and other anomalies. The variety of symptoms, occurring over a relatively broad time span, caused the family to seek several individual specialists on separate occasions. A major factor influencing this case was the absence of communication between the various specialists. Each health care specialist treated the child based on the limited perspective of the individual discipline, missing the fundamental etiology of the child’s disorders. It was not until the diagnosis of 22q11 deletion syndrome was established that successful, coordinated treatment of the disorder was realized.
