Aim and Objectives. This study aimed to conduct a new analysis of data from a previously published system- atic review of health promotion interventions for low-income groups (Bull et al., 2014), applying behavioral science frameworks and new statistical methods to understand more about their effectiveness. While the previous paper found interventions to have small, positive effects, the current paper investigates which critical features of intervention con- tent and delivery may contribute to their effectiveness. The association between a range of intervention components, individually and in combination, with variability in intervention effect sizes was examined. There were two specific objectives:

Aim and Objectives. The overall aim was to improve the methane yield in anaerobic digestion. To achieve this aim, the idea was to add FOGs to semi continues anaerobic digestion systems. Due to the high methane potential of the FOGs, this addition will increase the methane yield, however it will also increase the risk of process failures. Thus, this thesis investigates if these drawbacks can be reduced whilst the operator still can reap the benefits of the FOGs high methane potential. Based on the work presented above, it has been hypothesised that HC could improve FOGs’ solubilisation, enhancing methane yield and process stability. Therefore, the following questions have been formulated: 1. How does HC impact on FOG solubilisation and emulsion stability? 2. Which are the significant HC factors in solubilisation of FOGs? 3. What is the impact of HC on biosludge (BiSl)? 4. How does HC pre-treatment of FOGs and BiSl affect semi continues anaerobic digestion? 5. How does HC pre-treatment fare from an energy perspective? 3.1 Experimental Approach In order to answer the research questions, the project was divided into two phases: the process optimisation and the Semi-Continues Anaerobic Digestion Experiment (SCADE). Basic principal understanding obtained in the process optimisation will be lead to identify optimal condition of operation for the HC treatment to be implemented in the SCADE. The process optimisation was primarily designed to find the optimal pre-treatment conditions. This was determined by testing three different factors: oil addition, number of cavitation cycles and orifice type. The FOG solubilisation and the emulsion stability was measured spectroscopically (turbidity), chemically (COD) and with visual observations (VO) on oil and water samples. To determine HCs impact on BiSl, the soluble oxygen chemical demand (sCOD) and the biomethane potential of cavitated BiSl samples were investigated. The solid content of pre-treated BiSl and BiSl mixed with FOG was analysed to gauge how efficiently the FOGs were dispersed into the BiSl. With the information from process optimisation in mind, the focus shifted to the SCADE. It consisted of a set of two CSTR reactors which were operated under the same conditions expect that in one of the reactors the BiSl and the FOG were cavitated. By monitoring the methane production in these digesters and the energy consumption in the pre-treatment, the impact and the energy balance could be determined.

In particular: (1) the Company will be committed to the promotion of effective feedback and communication. The Company recognises that an important factor in reaching the aims and objectives outlined in this Agreement is the development of a working environment where all parties have the opportunity to freely and openly discuss items of concern. (2) the Company and its employees will be committed to co-operating in a positive manner, taking a whole of job approach where it is safe to do so in order to implement flexible work practices and improve productivity that meets the requirements of the Company, its clients and its employees.

Aim and Objectives. The aim of this case study project is to perform a rapid appraisal of the continuum of care for DM/HTN for IDPs, refugees and the vulnerable host population. We will focus on prevention, identification of people at high NCD risk and the patient pathway once diagnosed, including access, quality and integration of care across health system sites and levels (including family/community level). The specific objectives are to: 1. Describe the current DM/HTN continuum of care for IDPs/refugees/host population in Sumeil district, Dohuk governorate, at sites to be determined with the implementing partners, ICRC and DRC. a. Describe the existing NCD-related activities and services at community, primary and secondary level in Sumeil district. b. Explore the pathway and experience of navigating the current care and support systems, including information, access, and facilitators or barriers to healthy living practices and self-care for those identified as high risk in the community and those with established diagnoses already engaged in care. 1 Global Health Observatory Data, World Health Organization, 2015 2 ▇▇▇▇▇▇, K., Sharma, D., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, R., & Singh, S. (2015). Burden of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality Following Humanitarian Emergencies: A Systematic Literature Review. Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, Feb;30(1), 80-88. c. Better understand the process and experience of decentralisation of DM/HTN care to PHCC level, exploring access and quality from patient, provider and key stakeholder perspectives and the impact of Covid-19. d. Explore the integration of care between different service levels and sites from community through to secondary/tertiary care (Gulab/Azadi), focussing on referral pathways, outcomes of referrals and impact of Covid-19. 2. If potential gaps in the continuum of care or synergies between ICRC/DRC/IRCS are identified by the findings of Objective 1, propose an adapted model(s) or extension of the current model to improve the delivery of integrated, continuous DM/HTN care for IDP, refugee and the vulnerable host population (as appropriate and taking into account operational priorities). 3. Along with key stakeholders, including service users, explore implementation pathways of any proposed adapted model(s) via a Theory of Change workshop. 4. In collaboration with the implementing study partners (ICRC/DRC/IRCS) draft a protocol for the implementation and evaluation of such model(s), as appropriate.

Aim and Objectives. The main aim of the assessment is to take a view on the success of the Skills Strategy. In particular we would expect the contractor to answer the following questions: To what extent is the collection of activities within the Skills Strategy making progress towards an Internationally competitive skills base (as measured by economically valuable skills with qualification attainment) and the economic and social benefits associated with that? How far are they adding value in terms of their contribution to growth and productivity and wider social goals? The extent to which market mechanisms for employers and for individuals, such as economic incentives, signals, and information, are aligned with the strategy aims; and the extent to which other behaviour change mechanisms are aligned. How successful has the strategy in delivering the coalition principles of: Fairness – how far has the strategy promoted social inclusion and social mobility? Responsibility – how far has the strategy succeeded in ensuring that employers and citizens take greater responsibility for ensuring their own skills, to what extent is this evidenced by a shift in the balance of funding from public funding to employers and individuals where appropriate? Freedom – how far has the strategy succeeded in reducing central control to enable providers to respond to the needs of businesses and learners, and increasing the value for public money? How well does it appear that skills providers are responding to demand? Do businesses consider that if they go into the skills marketplace they will be able to find a supplier able to meet their needs? Does the sum of the parts come to more than one would expect? A secondary aim is also to take a view across the activities within the strategy and assess the following additional questions: What elements of the Skills Strategy are contributing most, what areas are contributing least? How far are they meeting their intermediary outcomes Which represent best and worst value for money? Are there themes that define the most successful elements? Are there themes that define the least successful elements? The purpose of this work is to develop a framework within which to assess the impact of the Skills Strategy. This framework will then be used as tool with which to undertake such assessments, as information from the individual policy evaluations becomes available.
