An Emergency Requiring the Elimination of Emergency Law, 2005.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of emergency law in Egypt and how it has been used by almost every government in the last 60 years to deny the Egyptian people the right to freedom of speech and the right to form opposing political parties. The paper asserts that Egypt, in order to become a true democracy, as it claims it is, must eliminate emergency law so that the people of Egypt can truly practice the rights a democratic society is supposed to guarantee.
From the Paper
"Egypt may appear a calm country, not threatened by revolution, political instability or a rebellious population. However, the Egyptian government thinks otherwise. It apparently views the Egyptian people as rebellious, revolutionary and if given their right to freedom of expression, would drive the country to political instability. Therefore, a state of emergency exists in Egypt. Actually, as "Reading the Hieroglyphic" remarks "for all but eight of the past 61 years" Egypt has been under emergency law. Government after government and one political system after another has prevented Egyptians from the right to freedom of speech. Despite this, Egypt is said to be a democratic country. However, the fundamental elements of democracy is freedom of speech or expression and also allowing formation of opposing political parties. The 'democratic' Egyptian government is threatened by these elements as opposition may weaken its status and power. This law prevents freedom of speech and establishment of opposing parties, therefore, the government is using this law as a tool to grant it the upper hand and no one will even verbally criticize its actions. Although the government claims that the emergency law is a security measure for the benefit of the people, with reference to its history and the way it is being used proves that the purpose of this law is to maximize the power of the government to the extent that it can oppress the people and prevent any opposition; and consequently inhibit democracy. The emergency law is stifling democracy and development in Egypt."

Abstract
The writer of this paper presents a report as the hypothetical Director of Emergency Services for New York City. The supposed aim of the report is for it to be presented to the legislature, supporting a request for funding to upgrade the local emergency plan. The paper begins with an outline of the function of an emergency planning office, within the context of the emergency operations during 9/11. It then looks at the purpose of an emergency plan for the future. It explains the directives and guidelines contained in the proposed plan and elucidates its three-step implementation program. The paper concludes with important considerations for the proposed plan?s success.
From the Paper
"Before one can fully understand the need for a new emergency management plan one must have a grasp on what an emergency planning office does. An emergency planning office is charged with the responsibility of preparing for emergencies as well as acting once they occur. Emergencies can be caused by many factors including natural disasters, chemical spills and other emergencies that arise(Federal Emergency Management Association http://www.fema.gov/)."

Abstract
In the wake of the September 11th attacks, the author looks at how the United States is prepared to deal with emergency situations including not only acts of terrorism but also natural disasters. The author looks at the Stafford Act and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and what the brief is for these situations, with particular reference to financial relief. The author also looks at regulations for what constitutes a state of emergency, giving specific examples, and how various agencies and government bodies should respond.
From the paper:
?The severity of a natural winter disaster such as a blizzard affects the types of emergency relief called upon to prevent major damage. If the crisis is manageable on a purely local level, the city is mainly involved in plowing and spreading salt. If more physical aid is necessary, the state and county level must become involved to mobilize more equipment and human labor. Should an appeal for greater funding be necessary to address immediate damage from the federal government, the state may also be involved in such an appeal. This is particularly true, should more aid be necessary to help the victims of the emergency.?

Abstract
This document discusses operations and how operations and operational efficiency should be defined. It is first characterized from a personal perspective and then expanded upon. The concept of quality is then discussed with an emphasis on quality in a financial institution. Finally, the Toyota production system is examined relative to its production efficiencies and operational advantages.
From the Paper
"The field of operations is most often associated with the compendium of processes and ongoing projects that form the nexus of an enterprise's line of business (LOB). That is, it is the sum of all the processes and projects that are required for the enterprise to produce its product or service on a daily basis. These processes and projects are usually associated with the following activities: sourcing or procurement, production or manufacturing, quality control or management, inventory, logistics, facilities control, and distribution. The term operational efficiency implies that these activities are undertaken and accomplished with the least commitment of resources in terms of time and cost, necessary to produce the product or service without compromising quality. While related, operation effectiveness implies that not only is the enterprise's product or service produced efficiently with minimal investment of resources but that a useful product or service is the result of the..."

Abstract
This paper addresses possible ethical violations and how they can potentially affect medical emergency operations from the point of view of an Emergency Operations Director. Ethical topics discussed include the following: bias in treatment (or lack of treatment); confidentiality issues; criminal activity versus confidentiality; medical research within an emergency care setting; and refusal of care. Also considered are ethical dilemmas such as who gets treated first in cases of multiple injured parties. The author concludes that effective triage plans be in place to ensure that personnel know when to focus on some patients versus others.
From the Paper
"Bias in emergency medical treatment is possible for numerous reasons. Common biases include prejudice based on of race, social status, or lifestyle choices (Nordquist 2006). Known involvement in criminal activity, such as drug use, might also affect a patient's ability to secure quality care, as might availability to health insurance. Finally, a patient's family's wishes might come into account, specifically in emergency care involving resuscitation or elderly patients."

From the Paper
"People's lives often depend upon the quick reaction and competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, who represent for many the "front line" of caregivers in the American public health system (Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2000. EMTs provide prehospital services, including emergency care and transportation for the injured and the ill (Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2000). The purpose of this brief report is to examine, from a managerial perspective, the efficacy and efficiency of combining emergency medical services (EMS) with the operations of a city's or township's fire department. A general overview of the roles of EMTs and of EMS will be provided as a framework for this discussion.
EMS generally consist of an assortment of trauma, accident, rescue and medical care and services that are provided by EMTs who..."

Abstract
This paper examines how there are four phases of emergency management, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery after disasters. It stresses that a disaster plan can make the difference when it comes to the community's ability to respond and recover from a disaster. It also discusses how an emergency manager should establish and maintain rapport with the various departments, organizations and political leaders in the community he or she serves because good relationships and teamwork are essential when a disaster actually occurs.
From the Paper
"The knowledge an emergency manager posses can be the key to his or her effectiveness. Ideally, an emergency manager would have an unlimited amount of political, technical, and scientific information. In reality, a person can not be so "all know". Knowledge of federal, state and local laws and of regulations is a very important skill to posses. Emergency managers should also know the rules of policy making and implementation, identification of hazards and vulnerabilites present in the community and the ability to mitigate and prepare if a community's risks become a reality."

Abstract
This paper examines the standards set by the National Service Framework for coronary heart disease regarding emergency cardiac care for patients presenting to the accident and emergency system at a hospital. The paper explains that these standards place a priority on aggressive management and providing early thrombolysis and that this type of treatment is controversial because it is questionable whether, given the suggested timeline and the need to differentiate from non-cardiac causes of chest pain, an adequate history and physical can be performed to prevent the administration of thrombolytics in patients where they are contraindicated. To further examine this topic, the paper gives a clear definition of acute myocardial infarction, looks at how to diagnose a patient with acute chest pain, explores the history, indications, and contraindications of thrombolysis, and reviews a multidisciplinary approach to thrombolytic administration.
From the Paper
"The definitive diagnosis of AMI is best obtained by following a standard chest pain protocol. Most accident and emergency wards have these in place. It is standard to initially obtain a 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and begin cardiac monitoring. Patient?s routine laboratory studies include electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), complete blood count (CBC) and markers for myocardial injury (Creatinine Kinase isoenzyme-myocardial (CK-MB) or troponin). Normal serial CK values rule out an acute infarction but are negative in the setting of acute unstable angina. A slight rise in CK-MB or troponin indicates myocardial injury but is not specific for ischemic syndromes. Troponin assay is highly sensitive for identifying acute coronary syndromes. Troponin has longer half life in the system than CK-MB but is less specific for the identification of infarction as opposed to repeated episodes of myocardial ischemia. As the total CK greater than two times the upper ranges of normal is indicative of infarction it can be used as an adjunct in diagnosis ischemia versus infarction and also in determining the relative efficacy of reperfusion. Serum troponin may take up to six hours to become diagnostically sensitive enough (Dougan, 2001)."
