BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. The objective of this Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter “Agreement”) is to establish the terms and conditions under which three (3) members of the Coconino County Indigenous Peoples Advisory Council (IPAC) may be appointed by the Flagstaff City Council to serve as ex-officio, non-voting members of the City of Flagstaff Indigenous Commission (IC).
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. Rapid measurement of potassium is crucial in the resuscitation of patients in cardiac arrest. This is often done on an arterial blood gas sample taken during resuscitation and analysed in an emergency department based blood gas analyser. No-one has assessed how accurate or reliable this is when compared with the traditional method of sending a venous sample to the laboratory for standard analysis. This study looked at the agreement between potassium measurements in arterial blood gas samples and venous blood samples in patients in cardiac arrest. Method: Arterial and venous blood samples were taken at the same time and analysed in the usual way from 50 patients in cardiac arrest. It was found that the mean difference between each pair of arterial and venous potassium measurements was low at 0.106 mmol/l. However, the standard deviation of these dif- ferences and subsequently the 95% limits of agreement were wide (21.182 mmol/l to 1.394 mmol/l)— that is, 95% of differences will lie between these limits. It is felt that these limits are too wide for safe use in clinical practice. Conclusion: Based on these results, it is advised that arterial blood gas analysers should be used with caution to measure potassium in patients in cardiac arrest. A bnormalities of potassium concentration are consid- ered reversible causes of cardiac arrest.1 Hyperkalaemia causes hyperpolarisation of the heart, bradycardia, and asystole. Hypokalaemia, especially in the setting of heart disease and digoxin toxicity, causes fatal cardiac arrhythmias. In addition, the potassium concentration in blood frequently changes during the course of a resuscitation. Just after cardiac arrest the concentration rises due to the release of potassium from underperfused cells. Then, as resuscitation gets underway, there is often a rebound fall as the circulation is restored and endogenous adrenaline and exogenous drugs take effect.2 It is, therefore, important to measure potassium as soon as possible during the course of a resuscitation. This has traditionally been done by taking a venous sample and sending it to the biochemistry laboratory for standard analysis. This, however, can take some time. Many people now prefer to measure potassium on an arterial blood gas sample in a resuscitation room based blood gas analyser. This gives a much faster result, but it is not known how accurate this is when compared with a venous measurement. In this study we aimed to determine the agreement between potassiu...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. SubLicensee is either an HAA sanctioned organization made up of Harvard alumni residing in the same geographical region, which organization provides opportunities for local alumni to remain connected to Harvard and to each other (an “HAA Club”) or a collection of Harvard alumni who actively engage in communicating and/or gathering around a central unifying purpose, mission, background or activity beyond class affiliation or regional proximity (an “HAA Shared Interest Group” or “HAA SIG”). HAA has licensed from OmniMagnet, LLC (“Company”) the Company’s Magnet™ Web Platform (the “AlumniMagnet Platform”). The AlumniMagnet Platform is a technology solution which delivers: • A comprehensive web-presence; • A powerful suite of operations management and communication tools; and • Integration into the global HAA Clubs and SIGs network.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center Ecosystem Science Program (ESP) developed a list of candidate indicators using an approach modified from Xxxxxxxx et al. (2011). These and a set of draft conceptual models representing the outer coast of the Washington Marine Ecosystem were presented to stakeholders at a workshop in May 2013 and delivered to the state marine spatial planning (MSP) staff in June. The ESP will continue to refine our portfolio of ecological indicators based on input from state MSP staff and outcomes from the workshop. We will develop new conceptual models for estuaries, further refine the initial draft ecological indicators, and clarify linkages between conceptual models and ecological indicators. An effective indicator portfolio should: • be grounded in conceptual models of Washington’s marine and estuarine ecosystems • provide a snapshot of the overall health of those ecosystems • provide an early warning of negative trends so that corrections can be made quickly • show the impacts of new or ongoing management strategies • transparently reveal how funding for management actions produces results
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. 1.1 The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Charity and the parties wish to manage and regulate their relationship, including but not limited to matters relating to use of surplus funds.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center Ecosystem Science Program (ESP) will assist with the development of a portfolio of indicators that communicates strategic objectives and enables policy makers, managers, the public to measure, monitor and manage the key actions needed to achieve ecosystem-based management (EBM) goals. Our objective is to develop a relatively small collection of interconnected ecosystem indicators that reflects both short- and long-term status and trends in Washington marine waters. An effective indicator portfolio should: be grounded in a conceptual model of the Washington Marine Ecosystem provide a snapshot of the overall health of the Washington Marine Ecosystem provide an early warning of negative trends so that corrections can be made quickly show the impacts of new or ongoing management strategies transparently reveal how funding for management actions produces results
