This article discusses reengineering as a tool of crisis management. Reengineering is analyzed as a fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve the key breakthrough in the current performance of the company, such as costs, product quality, service levels, etc. This approach creates the preconditions for long-term stable operation of enterprises, greatly reduces the appearance and development of crisis situations.

In recent years, collaborative approaches to crisis management involving citizens have gained increasing attention. One example is the #WirVsVirus hackathon, which was conducted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and had over 28,000 participants. Because research on large-scale, digital collaboration in crisis situations is scarce, consequences of their use in crisis management remain unclear. This article relies on the open governance paradigm as a lens for studying two projects emerging from the hackathon. Based on nine qualitative expert interviews, we ask how digital open governance affects governance capacity and legitimacy in crisis management. Our findings suggest that digital open governance can contribute to governance capacity and legitimacy, as it mobilises large, diverse groups of citizens to quickly develop citizen-centric, ready-to-use solutions for crisis-related problems. However, we also identified potential problems, including risks regarding legitimacy and accountability, difficulties with scalable solutions, and questionable long-term impacts.

The article considers topical issues of economic support for the development of the regional security system of the population against various risks. The dependence of the impact of the scale of crisis situations on economic activities in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which become a serious barrier to the sustainable development of the regions of the country, was investigated. The increasing importance of risks of economic losses from accidents and disasters at potentially dangerous facilities as a result of the complex influence of natural, manmade and fire factors has been established. An analysis was carried out and proposals were developed to implement the key tasks of the state in the field of ensuring the protection of the population and territories of the country from disasters in order to ensure the stability of the economy. The organizational structure, division of tasks and functions between officials, crisis management structures and responding units were analyzed, taking into account the reduction in current financial costs. On the basis of a study of the peculiarities of the regions of the country, recommendations were formed to fulfill the necessary tasks by the anti-crisis management bodies in the field of reducing economic damage on the basis of preventing crisis situations and ensuring fire safety. It is proposed to organize the practical application of a complex automated security system based on modern developments with the application of improving the qualities and efficiency of anti-crisis management processes in order to increase economic efficiency. Initial data were formed to reduce potential threats of a natural, man-made, fire and other nature in the regions using financial and economic mechanisms. It is proposed to implement a set of priority measures to further improve and increase the potential of economic support for the anti-crisis management system. The materials of the article can be used in planning the main directions of the development of the regional population security system and the implementation of socio-economic development programs.

These guidelines were prepared by the Maryknoll Sisters, Office of Social Concerns, for the United States Catholic Mission Association, in March 1984. Each mission agency needs to have its own guidelines for procedures in crisis situations. These guidelines are published here to help others as they consider their own procedures under such circumstances.

Abstract This study has two main objectives: first, it assesses the effect of outbreak pandemic diseases on the French firms’ stock returns by considering the sector of activity as the main center of analysis. Second, it investigates the role of the crisis management system, firm debt strategy, and monetary policy in dealing with the adverse shocks of the major outbreak of the COVID-19. The study results can be summarized as follows: (1) the daily growth in COVID-19 cases and deaths are associated with lower stock returns of the listed firms, especially for the firms operating in the energy, industrial and health care sectors. In contrast, telecommunication and consumer sectors are not significantly affected. (2) The pandemic’s adverse effect is much more tolerant with the French firms with an efficient crisis management system and low long-term debt commitments than the firms that do not have such a system and engaged with long term debts. (3) Euribor rates and monetary policy are still playing an essential role during the pandemic period.

In this paper,a high temperature heat-pump dryer and a corresponding semi-enclosed test drying room for using the dryer are built up respectively. While the average dry bulb of the external environment is 25°C and the relative humidity is 55%, the performance of the dryer is obtained when the dryer is running continuously for five hours. The results show that: the electromagnetic valve-capillary institution has an obvious effect on the lower the dryer exhaust temperature. It makes the suction temperature of compressor dropped 10 °C~15 °C, which can reduce the exhaust temperature and prevent compressor’s overheating. When the exhaust temperature keep at 100~110 °C, it can not only guarantee the temperature of wind coming from the dryer is high, but also can make sure the drying system’s long-term stable operation.

Indonesia as one of the largest coffee producing countries in the world has an important role in global trade, namely the specialty coffee trade. Specialty coffee is one of the leading commodities for coffee producing countries like Indonesia because of the taste of the coffee. The quality of the product itself has an understanding that the product offered by the seller has more selling value that must be owned by competitors' products, therefore the company is trying to focus on the quality of the product and compare it with the products offered by competing companies. This research is associative research using a quantitative approach. With the aim to analyze the effect of Coffee Beverage Product Quality on Buyer's Decisions at Point Coffee Pedurenan, South Jakarta, as well as find out which factors have a dominant influence on Buyer's Decisions at the Coffee Shop. The sample in this study amounted to 100 respondents who had visited Point Coffee by using the Probability Sampling method with the Simple Random Sampling technique. The data was collected using questtionnaires and distribute it directly to buyers at Point Coffee. The suggestion from this research is that the owner of Point Coffee can maintain the hygiene that has been applied by the workers, Increase again the Quality, Quantity, Variation, and Innovation of coffee beverage products in terms of flavor, to meet the buyer's decision. And Point Coffee is more innovative so that buyers don't get bored easily if they come again at Point Coffee. Keywords: Product Quality, Service Quality, Purchasing Decisions

This paper presents a long-term stable thermoelectric micro gas sensor with ligand linked Pt nanoparticles as catalyst. The sensor design gives an excellent homogeneous temperature distribution over the catalytic layer, an important factor for long-term stability. The sensor consumes very low power, 18 mW at 100 °C heater temperature. Another thermoresistive sensor is also fabricated with same material for comparative analysis. The thermoelectric sensor gives better temperature homogeneity and consumes 23% less power than thermoresistive sensor for same average temperature on the membrane. The sensor shows linear characteristics with temperature change and has significantly high Seebeck coefficient of 6.5 mV/K. The output of the sensor remains completely constant under 15,000 ppm continuous H2 gas flow for 24 h. No degradation of sensor signal for 24 h indicates no deactivation of catalytic layer over the time. The sensor is tested with 3 different amount of catalyst at 2 different operating temperatures under 6000 ppm and 15,000 ppm continuous H2 gas flow for 4 h. Sensor output is completely stable for 3 different amount of catalyst.
