Private and public partnerships are defended by both guidelines for action and legal frameworks for disaster risk management. The objective of this study is to identify a framework for action that allows joint collaborative partnership between these sectors. The theoretical discussion brings concepts that raise questions that permeate the possibility of partnership based on the new Sendai framework, as well as corporate social responsibility in the value, balance and accountability (VBA) integrative model. The presented framework is compared to the experience of the tornado which occurred in Brazil in the city of Xanxerê (Santa Catarina) in 2015. We came to the conclusion that partnership advance results from paradigm shifts in both sectors, on the one hand, with the development of management mechanisms that clearly define roles and responsibilities of those involved, and, on the other hand, motivation for responsible business conduct.
Apesar da sua evolução como corpo teórico e de ter emergido internacionalmente como linha de pesquisa, o conhecimento científico referente a Logística Humanitária (LH) ainda é incipiente quando comparado a logística tradicional. Assim sendo, busca-se identificar como esta linha de pesquisa está sendo representada no tripé que sustenta a Universidade: pesquisa, ensino e extensão.
OBJECTIVETo analyze the methodology used for assessing the spatial distribution of specialized cardiac care units.METHODSA modeling and simulation method was adopted for the practical application of cardiac care service in the state of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil, using the p-median model. As the state is divided into 21 health care regions, a methodology which suggests an arrangement of eight intermediate cardiac care units was analyzed, comparing the results obtained using data from 1996 and 2012.RESULTSResults obtained using data from 2012 indicated significant changes in the state, particularly in relation to the increased population density in the coastal regions. The current study provided a satisfactory response, indicated by the homogeneity of the results regarding the location of the intermediate cardiac care units and their respective regional administrations, thereby decreasing the average distance traveled by users to health care units, located in higher population density areas. The validity of the model was corroborated through the analysis of the allocation of the median vertices proposed in 1996 and 2012.CONCLUSIONSThe current spatial distribution of specialized cardiac care units is more homogeneous and reflects the demographic changes that have occurred in the state over the last 17 years. The comparison between the two simulations and the current configuration showed the validity of the proposed model as an aid in decision making for system expansion.
Article Info ResumoPalavras-chave: logística humanitária fluxo de redes desastre naturalOrganizações humanitárias buscam processos eficientes e eficazes para a tomada de decisão no momento da resposta aos desastres. Evidencia-se neste estudo o uso de ferramentas logísticas para auxiliar a tomada de decisão em operações de resposta humanitária referente à coordenação de materiais para eventos em desastres naturais. Na literatura algumas abordagens têm sido propostas utilizando modelos de otimização para decisão de compras para a ajuda humanitária, sem incluir a seleção de fornecedores de forma a garantir a disponibilidade dos itens de alívio nas áreas afetadas, no momento certo. O presente trabalho visa desenvolver uma metodologia para definir o melhor conjunto de fornecedores respeitando, o tempo, a demanda e a capacidade de entrega no lugar atingido, desenvolvendo um modelo adaptado do problema do fluxo em redes. O foco desta pesquisa está nas fases da preparação e resposta, em que, com técnicas de otimização utilizada na fase da preparação, pretende-se alcançar uma resposta mais eficaz. Verificou-se que a condição de o produto estar o mais rápido possível no local de demanda foi satisfeita e foi utilizada a capacidade dos fornecedores nas datas mais próximas aos eventos com o menor custo. IntroduçãoO objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar uma metodologia de suporte à tomada de decisão que considere o tempo de atendimento na entrega de suprimentos durante a fase de resposta aos desastres naturais, para definir o melhor conjunto de fornecedores respeitando, o tempo, a demanda e a capacidade de entrega no lugar atingido. Utiliza-se um modelo adaptado do problema do fluxo em redes. As abordagens de planejamento propostos podem ser configuradas na fase de preparação com antecedência a possíveis desastres, permitindo que as organizações humanitárias se adaptem a diferentes cenários de crise. A proposta refere-se ao processo de aquisição em operações de ajuda humanitária. O arcabouço teórico busca apresentar os modelos de pesquisa operacional utilizados em operações de ajuda humanitária e identifica pesquisas nas atividades de aquisição em logística humanitária. A literatura mostra que algumas abordagens têm sido propostas utilizando modelos de otimização para decisão de compras para a ajuda humanitária, mas estas abordagens não incluem a seleção de fornecedores de forma a garantir a disponibilidade dos itens de alívio nas áreas afetadas, no momento certo.O desenvolvimento de modelos e ferramentas que podem reduzir o tempo para a tomada de decisão, a fim de limitar o impacto dos desastres naturais é uma questão-chave. A partir deste conhecimento será possível fornecer subsídios aos órgãos responsáveis ao atendimento em desastres naturais que poderão acionar ações preventivas e emergenciais. Atividades humanitárias como compras podem ser classificadas como aquisição para a ajuda humanitária, ou seja, a ênfase principal é sobre a velocidade e disponibilidade, a fim de salvar vidas. Embora os produtos adquiridos pa...
Introduction: In a mass-casualty incident (MCI) involving children, there is a need to apply accurate triage tools in order to help those who require important care, and at the same time, to avoid unnecessary use of resources. Thus, it is discussed which would be the best triage device to use in these situations. One of the most used is a modification of Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment, JumpSTART, whose performative quality this review focuses on. Study Objective: This review sought to compare the performance parameters of JumpSTART with other triage algorithms used in pediatric disaster victims. Methods: This systematic review was performed according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and registered with the PROSPERO database of systematic reviews with the number CRD42021258415. The last update of the search in the databases was on August 12, 2021 and resulted in six documents to be analyzed. The inclusion criteria included the peer-reviewed academic papers in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian languages, and the databases used were PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE/Bireme (Virtual Library of Health), Web of Science, and CINAHL, which executes the query on the topic, keywords, or abstracts. Also to be included, documents that were available with full-text access through CAPES, Google, or Google Scholar. Books, non-academic research, and content in languages other than the presented ones were represented as exclusion criteria. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklists were used to evaluate the methodological quality of the retrieved studies. The results were presented through narrative synthesis. This review was not funded. Results: Of the collected publications, five articles were used to carry out this review, with the addition of an extra article captured by citation tracking. The findings from the obtained results were that JumpSTART was the preferred tool and presented the fastest speed of use. Only one of the five studies that dealt with accuracy showed JumpSTART as the most accurate algorithm, while three of the other four showed its inferiority in most aspects. In one study, no significant difference was observed amongst the chosen protocols. Conclusions: There is insufficient evidence to validate JumpSTART as a universal triage tool, given the disparities in the results obtained from the comparisons. No tool performed satisfactorily well, therefore there is an urgent need to create a reliable algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
