Comparison of Disaster Safety Datasets and Service in Korean and Japanese Public Data Portals

The purpose of this study is to obtain implications through comparative analysis of disaster safety datasets and services of representative public data portals in Korea and Japan. Comparative standards were established first. Then, dataset weight analysis of disaster-type and safety-management -stage components, trend analysis through text mining on data-set descriptions, and data quality and portal services analysis were performed. As a result public data sets were lower in Korea both numerically and proportionally than in Japan. Japan had a high proportion of disaster preparation and recovery datasets in terms of disaster safety management, while Korea had a high proportion of prevention data-sets. In addition, in terms of disaster response collaboration, most of Korea has material management and resource support, but Japan has high proportion of emergency recovery and situation management of damaged facilities. In terms of data quality, Japan has many datasets with four levels of Berners-Lee rating. However Korea has a high proportion of datasets with three levels of Beners-Lee rating. However, Korea has a better data format for big-data utilization. Portal services are mainly centered on natural disasters in Japan, but in Korea, they are centered on social disasters. The results of this study provide a reference for the future direction of disaster safety public data portals in Korea.

Development and Application of Estimation Method for the Scale of Damage in Domestic Drought

In this study, an estimation method for damage and recovery costs on account of domestic droughts was developed. The estimation method for the scale of damage was applied based on the national drought statistics generated by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. The damage and recovery costs of domestic droughts were calculated based on the damage data of domestic droughts that occurred in 2018 and 2019. The estimation method was developed for damage costs incurred due to domestic droughts by considering the number of people affected by water supply restrictions, accommodation, and restaurants. The method for estimating recovery costs after domestic droughts was developed considering domestic disaster support, water support, water development support, equipment support, and human resource support for victims. Due to the construction of a DB of limited domestic drought damage status, the damage costs were calculated for the number of people affected by water supply restrictions, and the recovery costs were calculated for the domestic disaster and water support. The total damage costs caused by domestic droughts in 2018 amounted to 612.471 M KRW, and in Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do, they were 218.616 M KRW in 2019, and more than 90% of Incheon metropolitan city was calculated. The total recovery costs caused by domestic droughts in 2018 were 5,994.555 M KRW, and in Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do, they amounted to 4,882.024 M KRW in 2019, and more than 90% of Chungcheongnam-do was calculated. The difference between the damage and recovery costs of domestic droughts was approximately tenfold in 2018 and twentyfold in 2019.

To Keep the Law or to Repeal It: Views of Parliamentarians On the Call to Decriminalise Attempted Suicide in Ghana

We explored the views of members of parliament (MPs) in Ghana on the call to decriminalise attempted suicide. We applied reflexive thematic analysis to Parliamentary Hansards (2017–2020) on calls to decriminalise attempted suicide in Ghana. 11 MPs shared their stance for or against the call. We developed three major themes that entailed, often, opposing views: (1) deterrent effect of the law (against: the law punishes and deters to protect life; for: the law is insensitive and has ironic effects), (2) enforcement of the law (against: leave things as they are, the law is not enforced, anyway; for: crime is not self-inflicted) and (3) prioritisation of suicide prevention (against: focus on more pressing issues, but resource support systems; for: the law and legitimate support systems cannot co-exist). The findings indicate two needs: to extend suicide literacy to Ghanaian MPs, and to initiate a public/private member’s bill on attempted suicide decriminalisation.

Meet Caregivers Where They Are: A Remote Intervention Connecting Caregivers to Community Resources

Informal caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are a vulnerable, often isolated population with high rates of financial strain and need for community resource supports. Little is known about how best to connect these caregivers to resources, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. CommunityRx-Caregiver is an evidence-based intervention that connects caregivers to community resources for basic needs, wellness, and caregiving. Using preliminary data from a randomized trial of CommunityRx-Caregiver (N=344), we examined caregivers’ baseline confidence in finding community resources and their engagement in the CommunityRx-Caregiver intervention. Caregivers enrolled December 2020-February 2021 (n=26) received (1) personalized lists of community resources via text message (HealtheRx), (2) access to an online resource portal (FindRx) and (3) automated texts offering support for finding resources. Most caregivers were female (65%), Black (92%), >60 years old (64%) and 44% reported very good or excellent health. Nearly half of caregivers (46%) were completely confident in finding community resources. Overall, 81% of caregivers engaged with a text message or the FindRx. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of caregivers responded to at least one text message. More than a quarter (27%) used the FindRx tool; 5/7 of those shared FindRx resources with others. Caregivers sought resources including in-home personal care, exercise classes and support groups. Caregivers of people with ADRD, many of whom had low confidence in finding resources, engaged with a multi-modal information technology-based intervention to obtain community resource support. These preliminary findings suggest caregivers were receptive to a remotely-delivered community referral intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Analysis of trends in bank financing of Ukraine’s economy in 2021

The article considers the development trends of the main banking markets of active operations for the eight months of 2021. The analysis of market trends has showed that despite significant efforts of the Government to intensify lending under the programs "Affordable Loans 5-7-9%" and "Mortgage Lending", the dynamics of growth of banks' loan portfolios can notmeet expectations. The banking regulator has adopted new legal and regulatory requirements that significantly cool the banking business in conducting new lending operations. Banks with state participation in capital dominate the volume of credit operations. There is a tendency to reduce the volume of negatively classified assets in banks with the participation of the state in capital. The downward trend in negatively classified assets provides prospects for attracting foreign capital to the balance sheets of these banks. In general, the global trend of enhancing the role of the state in solving problems during the crisis has manifested itself in the economic processes of Ukraine. Trends regarding the increase of the role of the state in the financial sector during the economic crisis in modern literature is called the "new Keynesianism". In the banking sector of Ukraine there is a situation when banks have a reserve of liquidity to expand lending. But the regulatory requirements for financial monitoring of banking operations and reserve requirements for active operations of banks have become stiffer in terms of resource support for the economy.In addition, the strengthening of legal requirements for personal criminal liability of bank management is a brake on resource support of the economy. Fiscal housing at this stage of development of the financial system of Ukraine is manifested in the significant activity of banks in the government securities market. It is not worth expecting significant economic support due to the increase in bank lending without changes in regulatory policy in the crisis of 2021.
