The number and complexity of mathematical models to assist municipal solid waste management agencies in the planning of recycling programs are increasing. A survey of practising waste management professionals has indicated a general interest in mathematical modelling techniques to assist with decision-making, but there is a lack of practical applications of these techniques, particularly within the local and regional waste management agencies that are responsible for planning and implementing waste reduction and recycling measures. A prototype decision support system has been developed to assist with the preliminary planning of municipal solid waste composting and recycling programs and processing facilities. This prototype planning tool combines knowledge-based system components with spreadsheet models to assist with waste forecasting, technology evaluation, composting and recycling program design, and preliminary processing facility planning. The system was designed for use by local and regional solid waste management engineers and planners, and waste recycling coordinators. The prototype decision support system is considered to represent a reasonable, useful, and practical (with respect to data requirements and cost) planning tool. The knowledge bases, created for the prototype decision support system, represent the collection and organization of a significant amount of currently available expertise regarding composting and recycling program planning issues. Key words: municipal solid waste, waste management, recycling, composting, decision support systems.

Diverse Groups

One means by which educators can promote dialog about the needs in the county among diverse groups of constituents and stakeholders is to hold a community forum. A community forum is an excellent program-planning tool because it can promote thoughtful discussions where many different points of view are shared. It also affords community members the opportunity to share specific information about emerging program opportunities and needs, as well as provide broadbased input from key clientele groups concerning their priorities for future educational programs. This document is PE070, one of a series of the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611: First published: October 2003.  https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pd059

Data Statistics

Community forums are wonderful vehicles for obtaining input from county or area clientele groups about the needs, issues, problems, and/or future directions for Extension programming. A community forum can supplement secondary data/statistics (analyzed needs) by enabling educators to learn the expressed needs/issues/problems of their clientele groups and stakeholders. The first article in this series, Community Forums: An Effective Program Planning Tool (PD059), provides more detailed information about the value and benefits of, and two methods for, conducting community forums. This second article in the series presents keystrategies for conducting community forums as well as ways to avoid potential pitfalls that hinder the effectiveness of community forums. This document is PE071, one of a series of the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, University of Florida, UF/ IFAS, Gainesville, FL 32611: First published: October 2003. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pd060

A method is presented for processing data from the histopathological laboratory of a cancer hospital. Emphasis is laid on the ease of use, the connection of medical, administrative and financial data, and the strictness of control of patient’s identification number. The system can be used separately; it is also a module for a large integrated system covering all the activities of the hospital.

This paper seeks to conceptualize the way Thessaloniki is promoting culinary tourism, whilst supporting and building upon local networks; engaging and co-creating an urban experience with its citizens and visitors. The aim of the paper is to suggest a potential framework that can be used as a strategic planning tool for the promotion of culinary tourism in Thessaloniki. In this direction, a food festival is being investigated. The last, is conceived by the organizers as the foundation of the idea of culinary tourism in the city. However, the findings indicate that there is a lack of active participation by the locals and not enough communication among various assets that are associated with the culinary identity of the city. In general, Thessaloniki seems to embody the ongoing struggle of a new destination, which is dealing with the complex process of branding and marketing without having the proper tools and the vital required collaboration between its structural networks. Accordingly, the research provides a lens through which the culinary culture of Thessaloniki can be used as a strategic pillar for stimulating a sustainable way of “consuming” and promoting the city’s identity; enhancing Thessaloniki’s appeal as a culinary destination.
