Topic guide for "Coping strategies of internally displaced women in Georgia: A qualitative study"

An interview topic guide produced as part of a study to understand coping strategies in use by women internally displaced within the Republic of Georgia due to the Russo-Georgian war in 2008. The guide focuses on the strategies used by women to cope with the hardships and losses due to the war and displacement. It was used in semi-structured interviews conducted with 42 Georgian women between December 2012 and February 2013

Nutzung der Abwaerme von Gasstrahlerheizungen

1 Task: In the frame of this incentive the plant will be evaluated in order to determine the efficiency of gas infrared radiators in three working steps. 1.1 Energetic series of measurement: A series of measurement must be carried out to evaluate the plant efficiency for waste heat utilisation of gas infrared radiators. This series is used to generate energy balances and to determine the plant efficiency. 1.2 Description of all plant components with capacity details related to the project. Explanation of the plant including clear presentation in ground plan (without scale) as well as description of the hydraulic switching for the WRG-plant. Explanation and description of the building with office including the estimate of the thermal energy demand. Determination of the WRG-efficiency as plant efficiency. Determination of conservation potentials and energy consumption. 1.3. Preparation of a measuring report including the evaluation and description of shortcomings. (orig.)1 Aufgabenstellung: Im Rahmen dieser Foerdermassnahme wird die Begutachtung der Anlage zur Wirkungsgradbestimmung von Gasinfrarotstrahlern in drei Arbeitsschritten erfolgen. 1.1 Energetische Messreihe: Fuer die Abwaermenutzung von Gasinfrarotstrahlern muss zur Beurteilung des Anlagenwirkungsgrades eine Messreihe durchgefuehrt werden, anhand derer Energiebilanzen erstellt werden und die Bestimmung des Anlagenwirkungsgrades erfolgen kann. 1.2 Beschreibung mit Leisungsangaben aller vom Vorhaben tangierten Anlagenteile: Erlaeuterung der Anlage einschliesslich uebersichtlicher Darstellung im Grundriss (ohne Massstab), sowie Darstellung der hydraulischen Schaltung fuer die WRG-Anlage. Erlaeuterung und Beschreibung des Gebaeudes mit Buero mit Abschaetzung des Waermebedarfes. Ermittlung des WRG-Wirkungsgrades als Anlagenwirkungsgrad. Ermittlung der Einsparpotentiale bzw. der Energieverbraeuche. 1.3 Erstellung eines Messberichtes mit Bewertung und Darstellung der Unzulaenglichkeiten.

Opioid agonist maintenance treatment outcomes : the OPTIMUS international consensus towards evidence-based and patient-centred care, an interim report

Abstract: Non-medical opioid use is a major public health concern causing high mortality. While opioid agonist maintenance treatment (OMT) is a key life-saving intervention, there is (a) no international consensus on opioid treatment outcomes and (b) few opioid treatment outcome studies include key (public) health outcomes, such as overdose or HIV/hepatitis C. We report the rationale and study protocol for, and preliminary results of, an on-going international OMT outcomes consensus study that aims to address this double gap (n= 110 collaborating experts from 32 countries, plus a n = 477 Delphi evaluation panel from 26 of those countries: 58% male, 41% female; 47% OMT patients, 53% OMT professionals). We present a first draft of a patient interview guide (including a \u2018clinical form\u2019) to monitor OMT outcomes in six domains. The form appears to be well accepted and feasible in early testing. Through this, we aim to enhance the quality of and access to OMT and improve the survival, health, and quality of life of people who use opioids, while promoting nonstigmatising patient-physician relationships
