Abstract After the 2003 SARS epidemic, China started constructing a primary-level emergency response system and focused on strengthening and implementation of policies, resource allocation. After 17 years of restructuring, China's primary-level response capabilities towards public health emergencies have greatly improved. During the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, primary-level administrative and medical personnel, social organisations, volunteers, etc. have played a significant role in providing professional services utilising the primary-level emergency response system of 17 years. However, China's organisations did not learn their lesson from the SARS epidemic, and certain problems are exposed in the system. By analysing the experience and shortcomings of China's disease prevention and control system at the primary level, we can focus on the development of disease control systems for major epidemics in the future.

COVID-19 has rapidly spread across the globe and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The COVID-19 infection continues to spread across Africa. In Africa, mobile phone applications have been used for the surveillance and reporting of infectious diseases such as malaria, measles, polio, and other notifiable diseases as mandated by the WHO. A good example is the early warning alert and response system. We developed an eight-question triage tool using the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control surveillance case definitions for new coronavirus disease. Based on the assessed risk level we offered advice and guidance on the next steps. A user-administered tool such as this is vital to COVID19 control. It is also significant in relieving the burden on health systems, providing information on national health guidelines for prevention and control, fostering the participation of citizens, and giving them the next steps, pandemic control efforts become more effective.

Query Systems

A Cooperative Response system, which can detect and correct users’ misconceptions exhibited in database retrieval, is one of the most promising ways for applying the knowledge engineering approach to traditional database query systems. Misconceptions are generally regarded as users’ false beliefs about a database and are considered as a main source of failures in the database retrieval. How to handle users’ false beliefs has recently become an important point to overcome in advanced database front-end development. While many efforts have been made to develop cooperative response systems, most of the work has placed emphasis on the detection of a user’s false beliefs revealed in a single query. No attention has been paid to handle users’ inconsistent beliefs which would be revealed in a sequence of contextual queries. In this paper, we propose a user-beliefs-modeling approach for detecting the inconsistent beliefs exhibited in two contextual queries. As an extension of the existing cooperative response systems, the system proposed in this paper can generate informative responses to correct users’ inconsistent beliefs.

Under Decision 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, a network for epidemiological surveillance and control of communicable diseases in the Community was set up in 1998. One pillar of Decision 2119/98/EC is the early warning and response system (EWRS). The main objective of the network is to establish permanent communication between European Union (EU) Member States’ public health authorities, which are responsible for determining the measures required to control communicable disease-related events. Since 1998, a web based informatics tool has been developed in order to allow information to be shared between the relevant public health authorities. Between 1998 and December 2005, a total of 583 messages were circulated through the EWRS, notifying 396 events. The information shared through the system helped to coordinate public health measures in the EU. However, only few events prompted specific measures at Community level and most of them were controlled with public health measures applied at national level. Major events (such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and the results of simulation exercises prompted the Commission to upgrade the informatics system on the basis of user needs. Since 1 May 2004 the 10 newest Member States have provided information under the current legislation and since April 2005 the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is part of the system. Future developments will include a link between the existing EWRS and the communication platform currently developed by the ECDC.

AbstractEmergency responsive system for fire countermeasure at RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo in2017. Need of an emergency response system in response to fire in the hospital to protect patients,companion patients, human resurces and hospital visitors from the fire and smoke. The researchmethod use in this research is descriptive, that is by describing clearly the implementation ofemergency response of fire prevention in RSUD Prof. Dr. MargonoSoekarjo, which is compared tothe relevantstandards of legislation.In carrying out emergency respose of fire as the effort of fireprevention in RSUD Prof. Dr. MargonoSoekarjo has provided fire fighting procedures, fireprevention facilities, facilities, evacuation facilities, training and socialization of fire prevention forall people in the hospital. The result of analysis of active fire prevention facility in RSUD Prof. Dr.MargonoSoekarjo shows; APAR of 98,38% which is appropriate with Ministerial Decreeno.04/Men/1980, Hydrant of 77,86% which is appropriate with Minister of Public Work DecreeNo:10/KPTS/2000, Detector of 100% which is appropriate with Permenaker No.Per.02/Men/1983,Fire Pump of 88,33% according to PM PU Number:26/PRT/M/2008, Fire Alarm 85,71% accordingto Permenaker No.Per.02/Men/1983. The conclusion of this research is RSUD Prof. Dr.MargonoSoekarjo has implemented emergency response fire management response as animplementation of fire prevention and control policy in hospital. The suggestion that can be give is thesetting of the placement and installation of APARs which is inappropriate should be appropriated tothe standard, completing the incomplete hydrant box equipment, checking and replacing alarms anddetectors that have been installed in hospital, the addition of sprinkler facilities is also necessary in aplace that have great potential for fire.

Oil Spill Cleanup

Both South Florida and Qatar have unique needs and requirements for oil spill response, yet both have basic needs for a contingency plan for responding to oil spills. South Florida has a diverse coastal environment that is important not only for its ecosystem but for the revenue it generates from tourism and fishing. Qatar is sitting on the world’s largest natural gas fields and some larger oil fields and is one of the world’s richest countries. The oil spill response system of South Florida differs in operational structure from that of Qatar. South Florida’s response system is a network-based operation controlled by county or city officials, depending on the degree of the spill and availability of resources. Qatar’s system is a central control operation, with primary authority and control of any oil spill response assumed by the Qatar General Petroleum Corporation (QGPC). Local industries are expected to protect their own facilities, but QGPC also responds to those spills that threaten public and government coasts and the Persian Gulf ecosystem. The University of Florida has developed a computerized database for South Florida that enables officials of national, regional, and state response teams to quickly identify and deploy required equipment and personnel for an oil spill and to follow cleanup operations. The specific advantage of the South Florida system over the Qatar system is in the oil spill response information system database, which includes information on oil-sensitive shorelines, response teams, disposal sites, cleanup organizations, and equipment. Furthermore, the typical oil spill cleanup response times for selected contractors indicate the most efficient choice of contractor for possible oil spills at different locations.

Electric fields have been applied across oxides growing on a high temperature alloy and control of the oxidation of the material has been demonstrated. At present, three-fold increases in the oxidation rate have been measured in accelerating fields and the oxidation process has been completely stopped in a retarding field.The experiments have been conducted with an iron-base alloy, Pe 25Cr 5A1 0.1Y, although, in principle, any alloy capable of forming an adherent aluminum oxide layer during oxidation can be used. A specimen is polished and oxidized to produce a thin, uniform insulating layer on one surface. Three platinum electrodes are sputtered on the oxide surface and the specimen is reoxidized.

The majority of blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion possess a continuous endothelium with tight junctions. These same features have been associated with the blood brain barrier of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. These vessels may perform a barrier function between the capillary circulation and the superior cervical ganglion. The permeability of the blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat was tested by intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Three experimental groups of four animals each were given intravenous HRP (Sigma Type II) in a dosage of.08 to.15 mg/gm body weight in.5 ml of.85% saline. The animals were sacrificed at five, ten or 15 minutes following administration of the tracer. Superior cervical ganglia were quickly removed and fixed by immersion in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in Sorenson's.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Three control animals received,5ml of saline without HRP. These were sacrificed on the same time schedule. Tissues from experimental and control animals were reacted for peroxidase activity and then processed for routine transmission electron microscopy.
