Key Outcomes. This Project aims to support PICs to increase their national integrity systems in terms of preventing and fighting corruption, in order to promote clean governments and create an enabling environment for trade, business and investment to increase in the region. This, in turn, will enhance the quality of service delivery to the people of the Pacific, and will help promote sustainable development. This Project therefore seeks to balance the advisory, technical services provided to individual PICs with its networking, awareness-raising and advocacy work concerning corruption and its impacts, regionally and globally. Goal: To promote and strengthen measures to prevent and fight corruption more efficiently and effectively in the Pacific region The goal of the Project is to promote and strengthen measures to prevent and fight corruption more efficiently and effectively in the Pacific region, which aligns with the purpose of the Convention in article 1(a) and the spirit of SDG 16.
Key Outcomes. The contributions of this thesis cover different aspects of mobile edge video caching and transrating techniques. The key outcomes of this research in the form of novel solutions and algorithms are summarized below: • a perceptual quality-aware video adaptation approach for transrating re- actively cached videos is proposed. This adaptation scheme provides an empirical mapping between perceptual video quality and source bit rate and encodes a video sequence at a bit rate which satisfies the agreed user requirements of video perceptual quality. • a resource allocation policy that minimizes power for the target user-perceived video quality is derived such that all users in the network can achieve their target statistical delay bound. The statistical delay QoS requirements are modeled in terms of queue length decaying rate. This can be jointly deter- mined by the effective bandwidth [23] of the arrival traffic and the effective capacity [24] of the wireless channel. The resource allocation problem is formulated as the minimization of sum power in the downlink, which is subject to perceptual quality guarantees, statistical QoS provisioning as well as the power and resource block (RB) allocation constraints of Or- thogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). A duality-based algorithm is deployed, where dual variables are updated using the efficient ellipsoid method. • for reactively cached contents, this thesis also proposes a scalable video coding (SVC)-specific active queue management technique which transrates a stream to a lower bit-rate. This scheme drops packets that have minimal negative impact on the user’s QoE to satisfy a certain level of QoE for a user. The proposed QoE metric model provides a relationship between packet loss ratio and reduction in QoE and estimates the user QoE of a SVC video, depending on the importance of the video layer that contains the dropped packet. This approach leads to a power-efficient delay-aware resource allocation scheme.
Key Outcomes. 4.1 The signing of this sub-functional agreement has no impact on existing policy or procedure and will formalise what is in effect already in place.
Key Outcomes. Benefits related to immediate notification, removal of paper, and mismatched processes between UHBristol and BCC to reduce turnaround times and improve reliability and content of communication. Dependencies: Medway EPR version 4.8 deployed.

C.04 Clinical Community Collaboration within BNSSG Description and scope: Building on B.01 implementation of Careflow within UHBristol and rolling the capability for task-based communications into participating BNSSG organisations (to be agreed). This project significantly extends the capabilities for community collaboration within BNSSG thorough the provision of a set of capabilities which deliver the key outputs below which are aligned with the appropriate delivery milestones. The scope is defined as the building of a foundation community integration layer alongside Connecting Care with an aggregated enterprise master patient index encompassing all patients across primary care, social care and acute and community health provision. The Careflow solution in collaboration with the CareCentric solution will form this platform. This platform will be used as an enabler to facilitate the management of community wide cohorts of individuals (based on a variety of factors including demographic or social factors and/or disease specific) and to manage the treatment of these individuals using defined alerts and collaboration applications. Providing the most complete possible view of patient data and publishing clinical alerts and associated text to defined multi-disciplinary groups of users. This will provide key communication to those clinical staff involved in the care of individuals with complex care and/or those who are most vulnerable.
Key Outcomes. In total 192 participants registered from different backgrounds: representatives of local authorities from across the EU, academics, civil society organisations and triggered discussions on the examples presented. After the event, the three main organisers disseminated the main recommendations that came out of the discussion. To support healthy ageing at city level are, it is key to: • Focus the old age narrative on citizens: ageing is not only a medical and care issue but requires a broader approach that encompasses various key elements of urban planning. • Organize and plan cities for persons of all ages: fostering solidarity and participation across generations is key for a sustainable future; • Ensure a strong political support with a fair funding: the voice of the city mayor is key;
Key Outcomes. KO-1.1 Operate NIF safely, efficiently, and in accordance with the annual Facility Use Plan in support of the Stockpile Stewardship Program.
Key Outcomes. Key outcomes are those outcomes identified for each priority area that address short-, mid-, and long-term success based on associated measures.
Key Outcomes. Robust reporting to the Board • Identifying risks and maintaining the Assurance Plan • Ensuring the Sub Committees drive forward the SSAB’s Strategic Priorities, as detailed in the SSAB Strategic Delivery Plan
Key Outcomes. The outcomes of this internal review together with the external evaluation (please see deliverable D1.1) will be used by members and the Commission to assess progress achieved toward AGE key objectives for our 2018 work programme. It will also help draw recommendations which will be presented to AGE Council (Board) and General Assembly in 2019 on areas which would need to be improved. The findings from both this internal review and external evaluation 2018 will be eventually compiled with findings over the years’ funding to inform AGE post-2021 strategy in a virtuous cycle.
