In the paper we present the results of a practitioner-centered requirements analysis for the design of humanitarian logistics dashboards. The work is based on a combination of desk research and its reflection through expert interviews and workshops with logisticians from humanitarian organizations. The identified requirements have been classified following the Design Science Information Systems Research Framework considering the dimensions People, Organizations and Technology. An exemplary application of the design requirements will be briefly presented in the context of designing a performance measurement dashboard for humanitarian logistics being part of the broader research agenda. The results can be used to evaluate existing tools and to design new solutions for the domain of humanitarian logistics.
在本文中,我们提出了以从业者为中心的人道主义物流仪表板设计需求分析的结果。这项工作的基础是案头研究和通过专家访谈和与人道主义组织后勤人员的讲习班进行的反思。根据设计科学信息系统研究框架,考虑到人员、组织和技术的维度,确定的需求已经分类。在设计人道主义物流绩效衡量仪表板的背景下,作为更广泛研究议程的一部分,将简要介绍设计要求的示范应用。研究结果可用于评估现有工具,并为人道主义物流领域设计新的解决方案。

Despite significant efforts in the improved cooking sector over the past several decades, challenges have been encountered in developing high-performance products that both satisfy user preferences and are affordable. Among the reasons for these challenges are poor dissemination of R&D results to cooking technology enterprises, underutilization of the existing knowledge base by organizations working on the design of cooking technology, and lack of resources within enterprises to devote to product line improvement. This paper presents experiences from a pilot program, the Harvest Fuel Initiative, which partnered local clean cooking enterprises with technical, business and user-research expertise to evaluate and improve their product lines, achieve growth and economic sustainability, and understand the needs of their user markets. Specific examples include lab- and field-based product testing, implementation of quality control measures, and user-centered research studies. While these efforts directly benefited the partner enterprises, the innovation and lessons learned are of benefit to a wide range stakeholders working in technology for developing countries.
尽管在过去的几十年里,在改进烹饪领域做出了巨大的努力,但在开发既满足用户偏好又负担得起的高性能产品方面遇到了挑战。造成这些挑战的原因包括研发成果没有向烹饪技术企业传播,从事烹饪技术设计的组织没有充分利用现有的知识库,以及企业内部缺乏用于产品线改进的资源。本文介绍了试点项目“收获燃料计划”的经验,该计划将当地清洁烹饪企业与技术、商业和用户研究专业知识合作,以评估和改进其生产线,实现增长和经济可持续性,并了解其用户市场的需求。具体的例子包括实验室和现场的产品测试,质量控制措施的实施,以及以用户为中心的研究。虽然这些努力直接使伙伴企业受益,但所取得的创新和经验教训也有利于为发展中国家从事技术工作的广泛利益攸关方。

As the number of amputees continues to grow in low-resource settings, their demand for prosthetic devices continues to be unmet. Consequently, these amputees face exhausting physical, emotional, and economic challenges like navigating unfriendly terrain, emotional trauma, loss of income, and social rejection, all on a daily basis. While there have been attempts to meet this demand, the challenges in doing so are difficult and complex. Many organizations, including governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and private entities, are trying to deliver low-cost and durable prostheses to amputees. However, all of these organizations face a wide array of challenges related to infrastructure, technology and business in achieving this goal. With numerous distribution approaches used amongst these organizations in low-resource settings, little has been done to provide a comprehensive study of major distribution pathways and their respective challenges. This article presents the current pathways and challenges in delivering prostheses to amputees through a rigorous analysis of current organizations' approaches and the existing infrastructure in low-resource settings. The end goal of this article is to enable the reader to thoroughly understand the available options and obstacles to deliver prostheses in low-resource settings.
在资源匮乏的地区,截肢者的数量持续增长,他们对假肢装置的需求仍未得到满足。因此,这些截肢者每天都面临着身体、情感和经济上的挑战,比如在不友好的地形上航行、情感创伤、收入损失和社会排斥。虽然已经尝试满足这一需求,但这样做的挑战是困难和复杂的。包括政府、非政府组织(ngo)和私人实体在内的许多组织都在努力为截肢者提供低成本、耐用的假肢。然而,在实现这一目标的过程中,所有这些组织都面临着一系列与基础设施、技术和业务相关的挑战。由于这些组织在资源匮乏的环境中使用了许多分配方法,很少有人对主要分配途径及其各自面临的挑战进行全面研究。本文通过对当前组织方法和低资源环境下现有基础设施的严格分析,提出了目前为截肢者提供假肢的途径和挑战。本文的最终目标是使读者能够彻底了解在低资源环境中提供假肢的可用选项和障碍。

The paper describes an efficient process for developing, optimizing, and managing replacement/maintenance programs for assets based on risk management, cost-benefit analysis, energy management and environmental impact principles. The best decision on whether to maintain or replace an asset can only be reached by evaluating the assets in the broadest possible terms, looking at the performance of associated assets, their function, lifespan and cost of replacement. In order to fully incorporate sustainability into the decision-making process, ADDC evaluates the on-going energy efficiency performance of an asset as well as the immediate environmental impact of maintenance or the replacement of an asset. Accordingly ADDC has developed asset effective maintenance/replacement process based on criticality analysis (risk, cost-benefit and energy management principles), for overall asset's life cycle management. ADDC developed energy efficiency management to reduce air pollution and GHG emissions. The paper provides a summary of various maintenance techniques used for assets and how these techniques can be applied within a maintenance framework referred to as reliability centered maintenance (RCM). With the application of RCM principles, maintenance is evaluated and applied in a rational manner that provides most value to the Assets Owner/Operator.
本文描述了基于风险管理、成本效益分析、能源管理和环境影响原则的资产更换/维护计划的开发、优化和管理的有效过程。要做出维护或更换资产的最佳决策,必须在尽可能广泛的范围内评估资产,考察相关资产的性能、功能、寿命和更换成本。为了将可持续性充分纳入决策过程,ADDC评估了资产的持续能源效率表现以及维护或更换资产对环境的直接影响。因此,ADDC开发了基于关键性分析(风险、成本效益和能源管理原则)的资产有效维护/更换流程,用于整个资产生命周期管理。发展中国家开发了能源效率管理,以减少空气污染和温室气体排放。本文提供了用于资产的各种维护技术的摘要,以及如何在称为以可靠性为中心的维护(RCM)的维护框架中应用这些技术。通过RCM原则的应用,维护以合理的方式进行评估和应用,为资产所有者/操作员提供最大的价值。

In lower-middle income countries (LMICs), untapped land mines, war, and diseases such as diabetes and polio have left many residents in need of a prosthetic device. For many whose primary source of income is derived from manual labor, lack of an appropriate prosthetic device often results in decreased productivity and lower quality of life. Across the world, the primary purpose of prostheses is to restore functional capacity in a manner that is both natural and aesthetically pleasing to the user. Some practices from the Western world, such as manufacturing methods, are transferrable to these contexts. However, the availability of materials, resources, and skilled personnel pose particular challenges for LMICs. In general, prostheses designed for LMICs exhibit simplified designs, as well as limited materials and electronic components. This article reviews current upper-limb prosthetic devices developed specifically for resource-constrained environments. An overview of the materials and design for each device as well as a discussion of their limitations are provided.
在中低收入国家(LMICs),未开发的地雷、战争以及糖尿病和脊髓灰质炎等疾病使许多居民需要假肢装置。对于许多主要收入来源来自体力劳动的人来说,缺乏适当的假肢装置往往会导致生产力下降和生活质量下降。在世界范围内,假肢的主要目的是以一种既自然又美观的方式恢复使用者的功能。西方世界的一些实践,如制造方法,可以转移到这些环境中。然而,材料、资源和熟练人员的可用性对中低收入国家构成了特殊的挑战。一般来说,为中低收入国家设计的假肢具有简化的设计,以及有限的材料和电子元件。本文综述了目前专门为资源受限环境开发的上肢假肢装置。概述了每种装置的材料和设计,并讨论了它们的局限性。

Contraflows are a critical part of an emergency evacuation plan. In most cases, a contraflow lane reversal will double the capacity of key evacuation routes. The Contraflow plan for the evacuation of southeast Louisiana during a hurricane threat uses a typical schedule for the activation of contraflows based on the predicted time of landfall. This work will apply machine learning techniques using real-time traffic data to schedule the activation of contraflows. Optimizing the Contraflow plan should increase the effectiveness of the evacuation plan by increasing the flow of evacuation traffic based on demand and retaining the availability of incoming traffic until contraflow lanes are needed. These techniques could be applied to other locations, including those without an existing evacuation plan.
逆流是紧急疏散计划的重要组成部分。在大多数情况下,逆流车道反转将使关键疏散路线的通行能力增加一倍。在飓风威胁期间疏散路易斯安那州东南部的“反流”计划使用了一个典型的时间表,根据预测的登陆时间激活反流。这项工作将应用机器学习技术,使用实时交通数据来调度车流的激活。对Contraflow计划进行优化,应根据需求增加疏散交通流量,并保持进入交通的可用性,直到需要Contraflow车道,从而提高疏散计划的有效性。这些技术可以应用于其他地点,包括那些没有现有疏散计划的地点。

Knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of stakeholders have high impact on the healthcare decisions of individuals. This paper investigates empirically the influence of KAP on rural pregnant women's health decisions. Maternal deaths might be reduced when we understand the associations of KAP on maternal health. It can be utilized by the organizations in policy making and to design services to reduce the risks during and after pregnancy. The study will contribute in designing solutions to achieve Millennium Development Goal 5, to reduce maternal deaths, which is currently lagging behind its target.
利益相关者的知识、态度和实践(KAP)对个人的医疗保健决策有很大的影响。本文从实证角度考察了KAP对农村孕妇健康决策的影响。当我们了解KAP与产妇保健的关系时,产妇死亡人数可能会减少。各组织可以利用它制定政策和设计服务,以减少怀孕期间和之后的风险。这项研究将有助于设计解决办法,以实现千年发展目标5,即减少目前落后于其具体目标的孕产妇死亡。

Lighting systems have the ability to transform the economic and educational infrastructure of disadvantaged communities, and eradicating “light poverty” has become one of the primary goals of the International Year of Light 2015. Solid-state lighting (SSL) technology, based on light-emitting diode (LED) light sources, has emerged as the next generation of lighting technology, with a current global market penetration of roughly 5%. This paper will report on recent research on understanding SSL lighting system reliability (failure modes, environmental stressors, electrical power quality); discuss the implications of SSL technology reliability for providing lighting services; and suggest practical approaches to ensure SSL reliability to benefit humanity. Among the key findings from this work is that LED sources can be extremely reliable, withstanding a broad range of environmental stresses without failure. Nonetheless, SSL lighting systems can have a negative impact on electrical power reliability, as well as on the affordability of lighting services, without attention to the quality of the accompanying power infrastructure. It is therefore critical to ensure that the performance of the power supply electronics used in lighting systems is matched to the quality of the power source, when evaluating energy efficient lighting choices.
照明系统有能力改变弱势社区的经济和教育基础设施,消除“光贫困”已成为2015年国际光年的主要目标之一。基于发光二极管(LED)光源的固态照明(SSL)技术已经成为下一代照明技术,目前全球市场渗透率约为5%。本文将介绍对SSL照明系统可靠性(故障模式、环境压力源、电能质量)的最新研究;讨论SSL技术可靠性对提供照明服务的影响;并提出切实可行的方法来确保SSL的可靠性,从而造福人类。这项工作的主要发现之一是LED光源可以非常可靠,可以承受广泛的环境压力而不会失败。尽管如此,SSL照明系统可能会对电力可靠性以及照明服务的可负担性产生负面影响,而不关注伴随的电力基础设施的质量。因此,在评估节能照明选择时,确保照明系统中使用的电源电子设备的性能与电源质量相匹配是至关重要的。

It is therefore critical to ensure that the performance of the power supply electronics used in lighting systems is matched to the quality of the power source, when evaluating energy efficient lighting choices.","PeriodicalId":193664,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115336445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reviews the current evidence base regarding the use of urban design principles in refugee camps to exploit the built environment for improved health outcomes. A systematic literature review was conducted to gather and analyze existing knowledge given the dearth of refugee camps that currently employ this theoretical framework. This study focuses on associating refugee camp design and organization with three areas of refugee health including resilience, mental health, and physical health. This study then uses a preliminary case study of the Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan to present the expected theoretical findings within the structure of the only nonstandard refugee camp in existence. In total, 34 studies were reviewed and their main findings were presented. The results should be interpreted with caution due to the considerable limitations in the existing evidence base; however, they represent important considerations for overcoming the deficiencies of the current standard refugee camp design.
本文回顾了目前关于在难民营中使用城市设计原则以利用建筑环境改善健康结果的证据基础。系统的文献综述进行了收集和分析现有的知识,因为目前缺乏难民营采用这一理论框架。本研究的重点是将难民营的设计和组织与难民健康的三个方面联系起来,包括复原力、心理健康和身体健康。然后,本研究对约旦的阿兹拉克难民营进行了初步案例研究,以在现有的唯一非标准难民营的结构中提出预期的理论发现。共回顾了34项研究,并介绍了其主要发现。由于现有证据基础存在相当大的局限性,因此应谨慎解释结果;但是,它们是克服目前标准难民营设计缺陷的重要考虑因素。
