Emergency water supply planning guide for hospitals and health care facilities

"The objective of this Emergency Water Supply Planning Guide for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities is to help health care facilities develop a robust EWSP as part of its overall facility EOP and to meet the published standards set forth by the Joint Commission and the CMS. The guide is intended for use by any health care facility regardless of its size or patient capacity." - p. 61. Abbreviations and acronyms -- 2. Executive summary . 3 -- 3. Introduction -- 4.

Taiko no Tatsujin : musical literacy in the media mix

This paper analyzes the Taiko no Tatsujin (Bandai Namco, 2001/2018) franchise and the musical literacy it conveys. While previous accounts of game musical literacy have focused on the competence necessary to interpret references across media (van Elferen, 2016), this paper expands on the concept, including forms of musical participation such as live performances and oral traditions. The musical compositions included in Taiko no Tatsujin pertain to the Japanese phenomenon of media convergence known as media mix (Steinberg, 2012), as they have been previously popularized by anime and geemu ongaku (or game music) (Yamakami & Barbosa, 2015). However, the musical participation extends its references to the practice of Japanese taiko drumming, a largely oral, non-notated musical form, which cannot be reduced to a musical repertoire.peer-reviewe

Strategic plan 2012-2017

The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) was established in 2010, with a mission and scientific activities that trace back to the earliest days of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This document is a strategic roadmap for the work necessary during the next 5 years to realize the Center"s vision--prevent infection, protect people, and save lives. NCEZID is responsible for the prevention and control of a wide range of infectious diseases, including rare but deadly diseases like anthrax and Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and more common illnesses like foodborne diseases and healthcare-associated infections. The Center"s expert staff manages a broad portfolio of science-based programs that also promote water safety, the health of migrating populations, and the identification and control of diseases transmitted by animals and insects (e.g., rabies, Lyme disease). NCEZID works closely with the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, the National Center for HIV/ AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, and other parts of CDC to fulfill the agency"s commitment to protect against the spread of all infectious diseases. NCEZID is one of the agency"s principal sources of epidemiologic and laboratory expertise about bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens as well as infectious diseases of unknown origin. State and local health departments, other federal agencies, and foreign ministries of health look to NCEZID to assist with wide-ranging problems--from illness and death in 28 states caused by Listeria-contaminated cantaloupes, to an outbreak of anthrax in hippos and humans in Kenya, to rising rates of tuberculosis among people immigrating to the United States, to new outbreaks of dengue in south Florida. And, it is primarily because NCEZID"s diverse workforce includes a correspondingly broad spectrum of infectious disease expertise that mysterious illnesses are identified, outbreaks are contained, and lives are saved. None of this work could happen without an ever-expanding extensive network of partnerships. NCEZID collaborates with many public and private partners, most notably federal, state, and local public health departments, public health organizations, academia, industry, and global multilateral organizations and ministries of health."CS234429-A."Mode of access: World Wide Web as an Acrobat .pdf file (6.93 MB, 11 p.)
