Download or read book The Institutional Compass Method Use and Scope written by Michèle Indira Friend and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a new generation multi-criteria, multi-stake holder, decision aide, called an "institutional compass". Based on hard data, the compass tells us what quality-direction we are heading in as an institution, region, system or organisation. The quality is not chosen from the usual scalar qualities of: good, neutral and bad. Instead, it is a quality chosen between: harmony, discipline and excitement. None is good in and of itself. We need some of each. The compass marks a new generation in four respects. 1. The representation of the data is intuitive and simple to understand, and therefore can be used to communicate and justify policy decisions. 2. Any data can be included, i.e., none is excluded. This makes the compass tailored to particular situations, voices and contexts. 3. The data includes different time horizons and different types of value: monetary, use, social, sentimental, religious, intrinsic, existential... 4. The process of compass construction can be made inclusive at several junctions. An institutional compass can be extended to evaluate products, add normativity to a systems analysis, reflect world-views such as that of ecological economists or function as an accounting system to manage scarce resources. There are four parts to the book. The first part introduces the general ideas behind the compass. In the second part, the author presents the method for constructing the compass. This includes data collection, data analysis and a mathematical formula to aggregate the data into a single holistic reading. In the third part, the author extends the methodology: to incorporate it into systems science, adding a normative and quality-direction dimension, to use it as a non-linear accounting method and more thoroughly to reflect the philosophy of ecological economists to give a real measure of sustainability. In the fourth part, we see three case studies: one for the World Health Organisation, a second is the use of the compass to label products in a shop and the third is as a regional compass for Hauts-de-France. The book ends with philosophical conclusions. Throughout the book, we see tight arguments, refreshing ideas and a thorough treatment of objectivity in decision making.

Download or read book Canada as Statebuilder written by Laura Grant and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's statebuilding efforts in Afghanistan are not well documented. After fourteen years of significant investments in humanitarian causes, there are still questions about the impact of these projects and whether they delivered as promised or fell short. In Canada as Statebuilder? Laura Grant and Benjamin Zyla analyze over one hundred and thirty Canadian-led development projects in Afghanistan to illustrate that Canada has a limited capacity to effectively run humanitarian efforts in unstable, insecure, or inaccessible environments. Canadian or Canadian-sponsored development projects were ambitious and highly productive in terms of outputs in the short term, especially in the areas of security, women and gender, health, and education. However, when their outcomes and overall impact are assessed, the authors argue, Canada's record is less impressive. Their analysis contributes to evidence-based discussions of one of Canada's most important foreign policy activities in recent years. Reflecting on Canada's engagement in Afghanistan, Canada as Statebuilder? asks whether Canadian peacekeeping efforts in the region were ultimately worth the economic and human resources invested.

Download or read book Measles outbreaks strategic response plan 2021 2023 written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Measles Outbreaks Strategic Response Plan 2021- 2023 (MOSRP) envisions “A world where all countries are equipped with robust measles outbreak prevention, preparedness and response systems”. The primary goal is that countries prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from measles outbreaks. The secondary goals are to improve surveillance so that outbreaks are rapidly detected and acted upon quickly, and to use outbreaks as entry points for strengthening routine immunization programmes and narrowing immunity gaps, leading to the prevention of future outbreaks. The MOSRP presents a 4-pronged strategy to ensure outbreak and emergency preparedness and timely and effective response to limit the spread of disease and reduce its consequences under the Measles and Rubella Strategic Framework 2021-2030 (MRSF): coordination, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

Download or read book Spray Drying of Vaccines written by Cordin Arpagaus and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the stabilization of vaccine powders by spray drying and provides an overview of the current state of the art on a laboratory and industrial scale. The book aims to familiarize readers with the advances in vaccine spray drying technology to understand its application potential better. In particular, the book addresses the design of aseptic spray dryers, parameters affecting the spray drying process, sterile powder processing, cleaning procedures, and powder filling. In addition, different drying technologies for the production of dry powder vaccines are compared to discuss the unique capabilities of spray drying as a particle technology for vaccines. Special attention is given to research studies on spray-dried vaccines published over the past 30 years, with key findings from laboratory research to clinical trials. Potential applications of spray-dried vaccines and routes of administration are presented in detail. Finally, an outlook is given on how close the aseptic spray-drying of vaccines is to the market and the challenges that need to be overcome to be commercially successful. The book's target audience is academics, researchers, vaccine developers, industry experts, students, and possibly funders, including government agencies, who are active in the field. In addition, the book is a reference source for those involved in the vaccine formulation and biopharmaceutical processing industry.
