Download or read book Sea Change written by Ussif Rashid Sumaila and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate change, resource overexploitation, and pollution leave ever more visible marks, ocean ecosystems, economies, and people are all affected. With coasts on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic, Canada faces a formidable challenge in building resilient, sustainable oceans and supporting the communities that rely on them. Sea Change reports on the OceanCanada Partnership, a multidisciplinary project to take stock of what we know about Canada’s oceans, construct possible scenarios for coastal regions, and create a national dialogue and vision. Three themes emerge from this impressive synthesis of social, cultural, economic, and environmental research: ocean change, access to ocean resources, and ocean governance. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and practitioners focus on finding solutions to rapid environmental and social transformation, outlining the implications for legislation and offering policy recommendations. Increasingly, civil society will have to advocate for oceans, and Sea Change will empower the voices of those who take up that task.

Download or read book Quality of Healthcare in the Aftermath of the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Moumtzoglou, Anastasius and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has put massive stress on healthcare professionals’ formal training, their creed to do no harm, and the patient safety movement. COVID-19 affects all aspects of daily life and healthcare’s organizational culture and values. Healthcare institutions experience absenteeism, change in commerce patterns, and interrupted supply/delivery in this context. It has also revealed the extensive amounts of data needed for population health management, as well as the opportunities afforded by mainstreaming telehealth and virtual care capabilities, thus making the implementation of health IT essential in the post-pandemic era. Quality of Healthcare in the Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic clarifies how healthcare professionals might provide their services differently than treating a patient through its vicinity with multiple providers. It examines the notion that healthcare education requires a pack of healthcare workers from varied educational backgrounds and training levels for the nuances of a disease. Covering topics such as blockchain technology, power density analysis, and supply chain, this book is a valuable resource for undergraduate and extended degree program students, graduate students of healthcare quality and health services management, healthcare managers, health professionals, researchers, professors, and academicians.

Download or read book Tourism written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Culture, Media and Sport Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism is the UK's 5th largest industry employing over 1.4 million people and generating over £85 billion for the economy per annum. This report, from the Culture, Media and Sport Committee (HCP 133-I, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215521705) examines tourism from a broader perspective, looking at governance, funding, skills and the environment. An earlier report focused on the structure of the tourism industry (HCP 65, session 2002-03, ISBN 9780215007957). The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is the sponsor department for tourism, whilst promotion of UK destinations overseas is the reponsibility of VisitBritain. The English Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) have responsibility for regional tourism. In the past decade there has been little growth in the domestic tourism sector (tourism in the UK) which accounts for 80% of the value to the industry. The Committee expressed a strong reservation in the funding cut to VisitBritain by the DCMS, from £49.9 million to £40 million. This funding cut could also have an impact on the marketing and promotion of UK tourism overseas with the 2012 Olympic Games representing a major opportunity for the UK's tourism industry. The Committee also sees insufficient incentives for local authorities to invest in tourism. The Committee also expresses concern at the lack of confidence displayed by the tourism industry in DCMS. The Committee would like to see tourism becoming a mainstream issue in government. The Committee though does support the Government's initiative in raising the quality of accommodation and an increase those accredited. The UK is perceived to have poor levels of customer service, despite £500 million being spent by the public sector on skills development. The Committee also feels there is too heavy a reliance on a migrant workforce in the tourism industry and greater efforts are needed to employ locally unemployed people.The cost of visting the UK is also expensive, in part due to charges payable by overseas visitors, averaging £207 per person in visa, taxes and other government charges. The Committee recommends that the Government reviews options that would make obtaining a visa a simpler process. For Volume 2, Oral and written evidence (HCP 133-II, ISBN 9780215521699).

Download or read book Integrating Seaports and Trade Corridors written by Robert J. McCalla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seaport gateways and the corridors which connect them to widely dispersed hinterlands are of vital and essential importance to international trade and the world economy. Distributing goods to ultimate land destinations or bringing the goods to seaports from inland origins is organizationally complex involving multiple actors. This book furthers understanding about how this movement is organized, the role of ports acting as gateways and the actions of corridor players. A key question that confronts the shipping and port industries, as well as public authorities, is how to increase the benefits of maritime trade to the companies and institutions directly involved as well as the port city-regions where the transfers take place? This question is being posed in the midst of a global economic recession and trade downturn, and in the context of contemporary policy frameworks whose goals are to generate economic benefits and efficiencies rather than to maximize traffic volumes. This book puts into perspective the reality, opportunities and challenges facing seaport gateways and corridors now and in the future.
