In recent years, the European Union (EU) has become more prominent and effective as a crisis manager. This paper argues that the idea of the Comprehensive Approach and the European External Action Service (EEAS) institutional project have been substantially shaped by High Representative Ashton. A focus on the newly created Crisis Response and Operational Coordination Department within the EEAS is employed for analysing the recent post‐Lisbon changes in the EU crisis management architecture. Based on a series of in‐depth interviews with EU and national officials, the paper contemplates the role for the EU in complex crises, in particular the potential contribution of the EU's Crisis Response System.

"Protect your brand's reputation and maintain public confidence by successfully managing everyday incidents and issues and preventing them from escalating into a corporate crisis.For most companies and communicators, dealing with a full-blown crisis is few and far-between. Every day, however, they are faced with various types of problems, challenges and incidents, which include customer complaints, campaign failure, staff comments and online criticism. Everyday Communication Strategies shows how to effectively contain these emerging situations and prevent them from destabilizing a business and impacting consumer confidence. It presents an easy-to-follow blueprint to ensure that identification can effectively move into intervention and action and explores how to develop appropriate messaging, work with the media and manage social media to minimize negative publicity and attention.Also covering how to build resilience and make effective decisions under pressure, it is supported by tips, checklists and flowcharts, as well as a range of case studies and examples from organizations including KPMG, Jo Malone and General Mills. Everyday Communication Strategies is an indispensable guide to averting a crisis and preventing your business or brand from being plunged into a reputational storm"--

The corona pandemic will lead to considerable economic cuts and further destabilise systems and orders Covid-19 is merely a dynamization factor in a period of global change Existing systems and regulations will therefore continue to be challenged The consequences of the change of times could be mitigated by value capitalism With the help of the value market economy, the world can be made more crisis-resistant, more stable and also fairer

The book studies the trends that led to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, as well as the unfolding of the crisis, in order to provide policy recommendations to improve financial stability. The book starts with changes in monetary policy and income distribution from the 1970s. These changes profoundly modified the foundations of economic growth in the US by destroying the commitment banking model and by decreasing the earning power of households whose consumption has been at the core of the growth process.The main themes of the book are the changes in the f

Summary: Adolescents struggling against anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa often experience self-punishing thoughts and behaviors, including self-mutilation, and suicidal ideation and attempts. These arise out of the profound anguish and despair frequently experienced by these young people. This paper outlines four particularly salient clinical themes underlying this despair that have significant implications for treatment. A practice perspective is discussed which emphasizes empathic listening and the development of a strong therapeutic alliance with the adolescent. Treatment recommendations draw from narrative theory and practice, and from feminist perspectives. The paper also draws on cognitive therapy and on recent developments in the areas of spirituality and motivational enhancement. Involving the distressed adolescent's family is also addressed.

Summary: Since the changeover in the gas used in domestic appliances, the prevalence of acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning has been dramatically reduced. In suicide attempts with car exhaust fumes lies the most common cause of the disorder. As a consequence, patients are more complex to manage as they often have other associated diagnoses such as substance use disorder, depressive disorder, or long-standing personality disorder. This report details such a case. The medical treatment was based on the carboxyhemoglobin (COHgb) levels at the time of admission. The patient developed permanent cognitive and functional deficits consistent with the observed brain scan changes. The author discusses the importance of an appropriate early diagnosis of the condition, the difficulties associated with it, and the validity of using the carboxyhemoglobin levels as a guide to treatment.

El presente artículo expone el ejercicio del planeamiento estratégico y la prospectiva como una herramienta imprescindible en el ejercicio de la gerencia moderna esto dado por los escenarios de incertidumbre y complejidad que se vislumbran en los diferentes sectores económicos. Algunos aspectos que se consideran al estudiar estas incertidumbres son las dimensiones ambientales, económicas, sociales, políticas y aquellas intrínsecas asociadas a las propias características del ser humano. Lo expresado en este documentos forma parte de un trabajo de investigación que se viene realizando por los autores en cooperación con la cámara de comercio de Cartagena de indias y la gobernación de Bolívar ; en el que se pretende demostrar la importancia del estudio de los escenarios futuros que coadyuven a tomar mejores decisiones en el ejercicio de la toma de decisiones y la gerencia en PYMES; resalta la importancia de esta metodología y la utilización de alternativas estratégicas de carácter contingencial para definir políticas institucionales en momentos de crisis que coadyuvan al desarrollo económico y social de la región. ; This article exposes the exercise of strategic planning and foresight as an essential tool in the exercise of modern management, given by the scenarios of uncertainty and complexity that can be seen in the different economic sectors. Some aspects that are considered when studying these uncertainties are the environmental, economic, social, political dimensions and those intrinsic associated with the characteristics of the human being. What is expressed in these documents is part of a research work that has been carried out by the authors in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce of Cartagena de Indias and the government of Bolívar; In which it is intended to demonstrate the importance of studying future scenarios that contribute to making better decisions in the exercise of decision-making and management in SMEs; highlights the importance of this methodology and the use of contingent strategic alternatives to define institutional policies in times of crisis that contribute to the economic and social development of the region.

AbstractCombining machine learning with social network analysis (SNA) can leverage vast amounts of social media data to better respond to crises. We present a case study using Twitter data from the March 2019 Nebraska floods in the United States, which caused over $1 billion in damage in the state and widespread evacuations of residents. We use a subset of machine learning, deep learning (DL), to classify text content of 11,982 tweets, and we integrate that with SNA to understand the structure of tweet interactions. Our DL approach pre‐trains our model with a DL language technique, BERT, and then trains the model using the standard training dataset to sort a dataset of tweets into classes tailored to crisis events. Several performance measures demonstrate that our two‐tiered trained model improves domain adaptation and generalization across different extreme weather event types. This approach identifies the role of Twitter during the damage containment stage of the flood. Our SNA identifies accounts that function as primary sources of information on Twitter. Together, these two approaches help crisis managers filter large volumes of data and overcome challenges faced by simple statistical models and other computational techniques to provide useful information during crises like flooding.
