Requirements analysis of IT-support for rescue management showed that electronic checklist support is a vital function of any IT-based assistance system. Although checklists are a simple approach, their successful implementation and use depends on many factors. We nevertheless believe that Intelligent Electronic Checklist Support Systems (IECSS) are especially helpful for the (inter-) organizational cooperation in disaster scenarios like mass casualty incidents (MCIs). In this paper we describe why, when, and how electronic checklists can be used to coordinate the work of the geographically dispersed rescue forces. For this purpose we will have a look at safety-critical and complex tasks in aviation and medicine where checklists already are successfully used and try to profit from this experience for the MCI domain.

The importance of telecommunications services for the management and control of critical situations dedicated to security of citizens has always been recognized: in particular, in this work we describe the solution designed and developed in an Italian research project, called CI6 (Centro Integrato per Servizi di Emergenza Innovativi). Focus of this project was to develop an integrated centre able to provide important informations concerning the state and possibile evolution of the crisis for decision makers. The knowledge base is managed by means of homogeneous schema to represent information (ontology of domain) and by means of semantic rules defined by the analysis of the domain. The communication layer has been provided by the CHIMERA platform we have developed, which is able to connect analogical / digital local radio network and satellite system for remote communications as well as to provide fast availability of communication and broadband using legacy equipment.

Situation awareness is a critical element of military decision superiority in a wide variety of operational contexts. Improved situation awareness can benefit operational effectiveness by facilitating the planning process, improving the quality and timeliness of decisions, and providing better feedback about the strategic and tactical consequences of military actions. The military coalition environment presents a number of challenges to situation awareness research; not only in terms of the technical approaches used to enhance situation ...

The effects of climate change challenge traditional concepts in international law, particularly those relating to the principle of territorial sovereignty, with its presumption of defined territory and fixed maritime boundaries, and State responsibility, with its presumption of liability and obligation to make reparations. This article discusses the legal structures available to safeguard the rights of children who may be affected by the negative effects of climate change. The vulnerability of children to climate change is discussed, along with examples of how climate change affects children. The article discusses the international legal framework on children's rights and climate change, focusing on pertinent provisions under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the provisions pertinent to children's rights under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change, before reflecting from a legal perspective on some major challenges pertaining to children in a changing climate, including humanitarian crises, migration, and child labor. In this Research Paper Doctrinal research was involved. This is qualitative research. Books and research papers related to this topic has been heavily relied upon as secondary sources of information. The discussion on the consequences of non-compliance follows a law and economics approach as it demonstrates how law can interfere in to the economic benefits of a non-complying state. Where relevant the research adopts a comparison of specific components of the climate compliance system with the arrangements in other MEA's.
150 years ago, Marx correctly identified the looming trend of the threat of mass unemployment due to the increasing robotisation in the modern world. No other work on the analysis of the capitalist economic system since the publication of Kapital matches its analytical rigour, historical sweep and empirical substantiation. Marx identified three forms of capitalist crises: the crisis due to the tendency of the rate of profit, under-consumption crisis and disproportionality crisis which are inter-related to each other. he two other modern forms of crisis, ie the financial crisis and the ecological crisis were hinted at in Kapital Volume 3, but greater work needs to be done, especially on the growing financialisation of the capitalist economy and its relationship to the emerging ecological crisis and climate change. The two other modern forms of crisis, i.e. the financial crisis and the ecological crisis were hinted at in Kapital Volume 3, but greater work needs to be done, especially on the growing financialisation of the capitalist economy and its relationship to the emerging ecological crisis and climate change.
