Point Of Reference

<p><em>Taiwan is not a member of the International Maritime Organization country, and the domestic business is also a multi-horse carriage. There is no integration and a single government department is responsible. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to check the relevant statistical inquiries, and the definition objects are also different. The information must be subject to the announcement of the International Maritime Organization. However, the data may be subject to statistical errors due to the construction of errors and omissions. The motivation of this paper is to roughly guess Coast Guard’s information system and maritime energy to discuss how to improve the work performance. Materials use and cost estimates are resolved for both developmental and implementation activities. In addition, enhanced services costs are resolved to with total and average costs of standard EAP services. These findings provide point of reference cost estimates for other EAPs that may be considering offering enhanced services.</em></p>

The Impact

Background The process of manually recording the consumption of medical materials can be time consuming and prone to omission owing to its detailed and complicated nature. Implementing an information system will better improve work performance. Objective The Information System Success Model was adopted as the theoretical foundation. The opinions of nursing staff were collected to verify the impact of the system intervention on their work performance. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at a regional teaching hospital. Nursing staff were invited to participate in the field survey. A total of 296 questionnaires were collected, and of these, 284 (95.9%) were valid and returned. Results The key findings showed that two critical factors (“subjective norm” and “system quality”) had significant positive effects (both P<.001) on user satisfaction (R2=0.709). The path of “service quality” to “user satisfaction” showed marginal significance (P=.08) under the 92% CI. Finally, the explanatory power of the model reached 68.9%. Conclusions Support from the top management, appointment of a nurse supervisor as the change agent, recruitment of seed members to establish a pioneer team, and promotion of the system through the influence of opinion leaders in small groups were critical success factors needed for implementing the system in the case hospital. The target system was proven to be able to improve work performance, and the time saved could be further used for patient care, thereby increasing the value of nursing work. The positive experiences gained from this study could lay the foundation for the further promotion of the new system, and this is for future studies to replicate. The example of the successful experience of the case hospital could also serve as a reference for other hospitals in developing countries like Taiwan with regard to the promotion of nursing informatization.

The design of the Information Systems Application System for Employee Work Target Compilation (SKP) is based on the method of evaluating civil servant work performance systematically combining the Civil Service Employee Work Target assessment with work behavior assessment. Performance appraisal consists of two elements, namely SKP and Work Behavior, with an assessment weighting of SKP elements at 60% and work behavior at 40%. From the depiction of the service mechanism at the KEMKUMHAM Aceh, an integrated information system is needed to assemble the existing subsystems into a mutually supportive unit given the still not optimal role of the computerized system in the existing service mechanism. The purpose of this study was to design an Information System for Employee Job Target Compilation (SKP) Application at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Ham Aceh using Visual BASIC.NET. The design of the system used by the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, a software development process model classified as incremental (multilevel) techniques. RAD emphasizes short, short, and fast development cycles, and data collection techniques using research methods by observation, interview, and literature study. The tools used are Microsoft Visual Basic .NET as an application in interface design and Microsoft Office Access as a DBMS. The test results of this application are the systems that are built already meet the needs, the input data process has met the needs and the resulting report has met the needs.Keywords:Information Systems, SKP, Visual Basic .NET.

To produce employees who have the ASN profession, there is a need for ASN guidance. As a first step in conducting coaching, an assessment of the performance of the ASN is needed. This assessment will later be used as material for consideration for promotion, placement in position, transfer, education and training, and consideration in remuneration payments. The work performance assessment of Civil Servants is carried out systematically, with emphasis on the level of achievement of employee work targets or the level of achievement of work outcomes that have been prepared and agreed upon between Civil Servants and Appraisal Officials. The performance appraisal of civil servants themselves has two elements of assessment, namely the first from the Employee Work Target (SKP) and the second from Work Behavior. The problem that occurs is that the assessment of work performance is difficult because not all ASNs in the Universitas Negeri Padang environment keep a diary properly. In addition, the problems that often occur are diaries that are manually created require a lot of paper and ink, this is considered not economical and efficient and when archived there is a possibility of being scattered or lost. From the problems mentioned above, an employee performance target information system was developed at Universitas Negeri Padang. With this application, it can facilitate ASN in preparing and filing SKP, making daily notes, and simplifying employee performance appraisals.Keywords: Development, Information Systems, SKP, Universitas Negeri Padang.

No international or U.S. Coast Guard requirements for the damage survival of dry cargo ships existed until February 1992, when an international, probabilistic damage standard for dry cargo ships was adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the U.S. Coast Guard. A deterministic one-compartment damage standard has been applied to most U.S.-flag dry cargo ships built since 1937, either voluntarily or as a requirement for Federal assistance under the Maritime Administration. Despite some of its inherent deficiencies, it appears that the one-compartment standard has invariably resulted in the construction and operation of cargo ships whose damage survivability considerably exceeds the minimum survival criteria of the new IMO rules. Some weaknesses in the IMO damage rules are discussed and modifications suggested. The results of sensitivity studies incorporating proposed modifications are presented for a sample of U.S.-flag cargo ships. An evaluation of results suggests that the IMO rules in some instances may not go far enough in precluding unsafe ship design or operating practices; however, the proposed modifications will generally achieve much closer agreement between the survival requirements for these two methods. It is recommended that the proposed rules be modified to reflect a more rational approach in accordance with commonly accepted naval architectural practices, and to assure the highest level of damage survivability that is economically feasible.

The funding of local authorities in England is done through a formula-based system which seeks to compensate authorities for having to meet higher levels of demand, and/or for facing higher levels of cost, because of the particular conditions of their local area. Differences in the population distribution of areas can affect levels of demand and also the costs of supplying services. The authors begin by questioning whether the measures of population density and sparsity in the current formulae adequately represent the effects of the settlement patterns of an area on service costs in particular. To illustrate the issue, the effects of population distribution on fire services are examined in detail. The differences in principle between the basis of the funding formula for fire services and the criteria by which the detailed activities of fire services are scrutinised by a different government department are discussed. Using a geographic information system, the authors show that the information which underlies the detailed scrutiny of each fire service could also be used to assess the effect of settlement patterns on service costs.

ABSTRACT In a continuous effort to improve oil spill management, the Ninth Coast Guard District is utilizing a Geographic Information System (GIS) to integrate data, coordinate information, and implement actions with incident planning and response. During an incident, initial team goals are to minimize response times in order to more effectively bring resources to bear thus creating a more effective outcome, which reduce impacts and overall costs. The Ninth Coast Guard District's GIS system enables the user to make informed, quick decisions during an incident by diminishing the guesswork of the response action process. During the planning phase, and for specific areas, several objectives can be completed prior to the actual incident in order to assist in decision-making when an incident occurs. Some of these objectives include 1.) The integration of the Incident Command System,2.) Development of an Incident Action Plan, 3.) Pre-approved on-water and shoreline removal strategies, 4.) The use of Shoreline Pre-Impact Assessment Team (SPIAT) information. Finally, the GIS allows effective assimilation of field data and information as it becomes available thus providing the response team efforts with an accurate and up-to-the-minute picture of actual conditions. The Ninth Coast Guard District is continually conforming to and taking advantage of the latest technology offered. Our goal is to meet the ever-changing response methodologies and enhance the multifaceted resources available to the responder. Involvement from all stakeholders including federal, state, tribal, local and from the private sector undoubtedly helps drive a very effective environmental and economical response.

ABSTRACT In recognition of the value of the marine resources throughout Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its approaches along the Washington coast and the outer coast of British Columbia, several recent international collaborations have been undertaken which provide important information regarding vessel tracking through these sensitive areas. The first endeavor, undertaken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS), involves the utilization of a desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze and display vessel track data collected by the Canadian Coast Guard from their radar-based Cooperative Vessel Traffic Management System (CVTMS) located at Tofino on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The OCNMS system has allowed Sanctuary managers to verify compliance by mariners with guidance regarding the Area To Be Avoided (ATBA) within and proximal to the OCNMS. A second undertaking, enacted by an international coalition of marine shipping industry interests, involves the near real-time tracking of tugboat assets within the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, and the Strait of Georgia. The International Tug of Opportunity System (ITOS) involves the use of a Differential Geographic Positioning System (DGPS) and radio modem-based Automated Information System (AIS) whereby the positions of participating tugboats are tracked in near real-time, displayed on an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), and integrated with a database containing critical information about tugboat capabilities. ITOS watchstanders can identify the nearest available participating resources to any vessel requiring assistance and provide the U.S. or Canadian Coast Guard or the vessel master with time-critical emergency contact information.

Maritime Domain Awareness

The International Maritime Organization has mandated carriage requirements for VHF Automatic Identification System (AIS) on vessels over 300 tons by 2007 (IMO SOLAS: 1974 and IMO Resolution MSC.99(73)). The AIS will transmit a vessel's position and voyage data to other AIS-equipped vessels and shore-based authorities. It was envisioned that AIS data could enhance the safety of navigation by allowing vessels to quickly identify each other and use Digital Select Calling (DSC) to arrange maneuvers. We will discuss the history and the development of AIS, the technical issues surrounding its use by the mariner as a navigation tool and the pros and cons of the proposal by the US Coast Guard (USCG) to use AIS as a means of surveillance for Maritime Domain Awareness.
