Das Ministerium für Post und Telekommunikation (MPT) Japans hat sich von Anfang an für die Förderung der Informatisierung ein klares Programm zugeschnitten, basierend auf seiner Zuständigkeit für die Massenmedien und die Telekommunikation. Dieses Programm steht im Wettbewerb und teilweise im Widerstreit mit dem Informatisierungsauftrag, den sich das MITI (Ministry of Trade and Industry) dieses Landes gegeben hat. Hier stellt die Autorin die erste Phase der MPT dar, wie sie vor allem im Weißbuch 1995 des Ministeriums beschrieben wird. In kommenden Heften dieser Zeitschrift sollen auch andere Aspekte der Informatisierung analysiert werden. (DÜI-Sen)

AbstractIntroductionYoung women in sub‐Saharan Africa account for two‐thirds of all new HIV infections and face high rates of unintended pregnancy. Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) are promising products under development that are designed to simultaneously prevent HIV and unintended pregnancy. Since MPTs will be used in the context of sexual relationships, ensuring acceptability and use requires understanding the role of male partners in MPT use decision‐making.MethodsThis paper draws on qualitative data from 39 couples enrolled in the Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) 045 study, conducted in 2019–2020. Partners completed a discrete choice experiment (DCE), first separately and then jointly, to measure preferences for future MPT attributes and then completed a qualitative interview. We also draw on quantitative data from interviewer observation about who dominated the decision‐making process during the joint DCE. Content analysis was used to examine (1) how couples made decisions on existing non‐MPT HIV and pregnancy prevention products; (2) how couples made decisions on future ideal‐MPT product during the DCE; and (3) how these decision‐making processes varied by decision‐making dominance (10 male, 10 female and 19 equal) and interview type (19 joint and 20 separate).ResultsExisting non‐MPT product decisions focused on trust between partners and product attributes, while future ideal‐MPT product decisions exclusively focused on product attributes. Across existing and future products, preferences for product attributes varied by gender. Male partners were most concerned with limiting side effects impacting sexual pleasure, female partners were most concerned with limiting side effects causing physical symptoms and both were concerned with the return to fertility. Across all dominance and interview types, couples reported making decisions together and female partners were often able to negotiate with male partners for their preferred product or set of product attributes.ConclusionsResearch activities in this study provided an opportunity for couples to openly present their product attribute preferences to their partner, learn about their partner's attribute preferences, negotiate for their ideal set of attributes and ultimately choose attributes that benefited the couple without disempowering the female partner. Future research should focus on the utility of couple‐based decision‐making aids or similar tools for facilitating joint MPT decision‐making.

As per the International Health Regulations, it is a moral responsibility on national governments to keep international seaports/airports and peripheral areas up to 400 meters free of vector mosquitoes in its adult and immature stages and the mosquito vectors of other diseases of epidemiological significance. In view of seriousness of the problem, the present study was undertaken in and around Mormugao Port Trust (MPT), Goa (India), to see the prevalence of Aedes mosquito. This study was undertaken in the month of February and December 2016. Inside the port, no larval breeding was detected except in December survey, and 3.85 Breteau Index (BI) was recorded. In Headland Sada (residential colony), breeding was detected with 6.0 and 10.0 BI in February and December 2016 respectively. Similarly, in Jetty village high larval breeding was searched with 9.8 and 8.0 BI in February and December, respectively. In the residential colony, plastic containers used for storing water acted as the main source of larval breeding. These plastic containers were used to store water for long time and maintaining Aedes breeding in adverse condition throughout the year. According to breeding preference ratio (BPR), cement tank showed the highest (4.37) BPR in the month of February while in December BPR was highest for iron drum (27.7) followed by waterstoring plastic container (1.14). These residential colonies are in close vicinity of the seaport. Local factors play an important role in the propagation and prevalence of Aedes mosquito. Routine entomological surveillance is required to monitor the vector prevalence in the residential colonies around the seaport. Baseline surveillance data should be collected regularly to monitor vector prevalence and destroy the breeding sites in and around the seaport.

The need for food fulfillment at the national level is currently the government's concern, community forests have a role in contributing to efforts to increase food potential, the implementation of MPTS is a good strategy for food oriented community forest management. Paku Village, Binuang District, Polewali Mandar Regency is one of the areas that has an area of 1000 Ha, which also produces MPTS. The aim of this research was to determine the frequency of MPTS in the community forest of Paku Village. The method used in this research was the descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that the percentage of MPTS and forest wood in the community forest of Paku Village was 63,32% and 36,68%. The highest percentage of MPTS presence in Paku Village is cocoa as much as 41,46% and the lowest is coconut, sugar palm, guava, oranges, kedondong as much as 0,61%, MPTS frequency from 12 plots obtained the percentage of presence of one hightest frequency is 80,4% with the attendance value of one to five MPTS.

The primary focus of this book is to educate the reader on the Matching Person and Technology model and assessment process that will guide the reader on consumer-centered assistive technology assessment and outcome measures designed to be used for individual of all ages and all types of disabilities.

The European Union has being developing its Energy and Enviornmental policy along the last 30 years. Recent European Commision communications confirm the leadership of European Union on reducing pollutant gases emissions and technological change towards climate neutral economy. This study assessess the efficiency of European Energy Policy from a Modern Portfolio Theory perspective. The proposal studies the disaggregated European power portfolio: to make a more exhaustive analysis, focusing individually on each European country along the period 1990-2015. The efficiency of the Energy and Environmental Policy of each Member State is calculated measuring their distance to the power generation efficient frontier. The quadratic optimization model used by MPT is complemented by a cluster analysis of European Member States, in order to be able to observe country behaviour tendencies: regarding the application of their energy and environmental policies without overlooking the efficiency of that implementation. Results stand out that France, Slovakia and Sweden belong to the "leader" efficient cluster for the considered period. In turn, Denmark, Germany, Greece and Italy show a high consistence in the application of their energy and environmental policies along the considered period, as they moved upwards during that period.
