Abstract Background Limitations of tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic tools and measures restrict proper TB control in places with high drug-resistant TB prevalence. This study aimed to explore gaps in the primary health care (PHC) TB services in Armenia compared to international standards on Assessment of Patients (AOP). Methods We applied mixed methods to assess the AOP standards in 30 outpatient TB centers using observational and documents/medical records review's standardized checklists, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Evaluation was conducted in all 10 regions of Armenia and the capital city Yerevan. Joint Commission International Standards for Ambulatory Care, International Standards for TB Care, and WHO framework, served as a guideline for this assessment. Results PHC physicians are qualified for a set of examinations to diagnose TB. Planned reassessments are conducted continuously, though defined writings for the scope and content of reassessments administered by each clinical discipline is absent. Laboratory departments provide high quality services to the TB patients with the defined timeframes for reporting the results. Laboratory and radiology services staff is qualified and experienced. The biosafety rules are compliant with local and international standards. However, the location and conditions of the laboratory departments are mostly non-compliant with the standards. Lack of modern equipment restricts maintaining proper environmental controls, including ventilation systems. Laboratory technicians have little knowledge of the organization's safety management program and its relation to the laboratory safety program. The facilities have neither formal quality control programs regulated by documents and policies nor an identified radiation safety program protocol. Conclusions On the level of AOP standards, the PHC TB services in Armenia have satisfactory performance. However, assessed standards for this function required certain improvements. Key messages In Armenia, the tuberculosis care in PHC facilities presents high level of compliance for patient assessment international standards. To fully meet the standards, facilities need to reconstructed/renovated laboratories and establish the radiology and diagnostic equipment management, quality control and radiation safety programs.

Crisis Situations

Diversification of the water volume has a particularly positive role in crisis situations related to water supply in urban and industrial areas. The function of water supply tanks is to compensate water supply for a settlement unit in a daily cycle, stabilizing the pressure in the supply area. In crisis situations, tanks capacity is used for the purposes of fire. A new function is the use of stored water as an emergency source of water supply during failure. Water supply network tanks act as reserves for various types of undesirable events. The previous methods of analysis and risk assessment in water supply systems did not include directly the assessment of volume diversification in a given number of water supply network tanks. For this purpose the Shannon-Wiener index, as well as the author’s index, based on the polynomial function, were proposed. These indices enable to perform an objective assessment of the water volume diversification degree ​​​and comparing the various subsystems of collecting water on the example of seven water supply system in the south of Poland. Perspectives for the development of research direction, that is safety management, is a challenge for both theoreticians and practitioners working in the water supply companies.

Risk in Water Supply System Crisis Management Water supply system belongs to the so called critical infrastructure of cities, and it should be a priority task for waterworks and even for the local authorities to ensure the suitable level of its safety. This system is characterised by its continuous work and requires high reliability level for its operating as well as for its safety, it is unique and its particular elements have different functions and simultaneously they interact forming an integral whole. The main aim of this paper is to present problems associated with water supply system safety management in a crisis situation.

In the development process of the society nowadays, electrical engineering has been widely used with remarkable results, but there are still some problems in the course of actual management, which requires effective technical measures to control the quality in electrical engineering and the enhancement of safety management work. Therefore, in order to better ensure safety management requirements in electrical engineering and strengthen related trainings and thus better carried out safety management and quality control to meet respective requirements in the real world, in this paper, a brief analysis is conducted in quality control and safety management in electrical engineering.
