Besides shaping consumer awareness, perception behaviour, also affects reputation authorities, being especially for securing operational stability budget concerned organisations. A recent European study highlighted a high variance preparedness official institutions EU member countries. This paper presents benchmarking instrument, Self-evaluation Tool Risk...

The prevalence of college students' tobacco use is widely recognized, but successful cessation and relapse-prevention programs for these smokers have drawn little attention. authors, who explored the feasibility training peers to lead undergraduates, found a quit rate 88.2%, suggesting that were effective facilitators.

This study evaluates the effect of length stay and baseline health status on readmission rates 3 months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Baseline showed a trend toward worse scores for patients who were read mitted. Read mitted had longer lengths stay, 3-month scores, women with heart failure higher rates. It may be possible to identify at risk using clinical variables, status. If predictive model can developed, then interventions developed tested decrease rate unplanned missions.

While there many models for information education at all levels higher education, these programs invariably offered as technical course study, curricula not well suited HS students. As result,...

Abstract The worsening effects of human-caused climate change, as well issues most American view “homeland security” (HS) can be seen in the news almost every day. Yet general public and even many security-related fields do not connect two arenas, though interrelated resource competition conflicts that together make up growing field environmental security (ES), are increasingly important risk response variables for homeland emergency management. Current change already destructive volatile,...
