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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
