Surveillance Systems. Using the tools provided for in Appendix D, Functionality of the CAT System, each Participant shall develop and implement a surveillance system, or enhance existing surveillance systems, reasonably designed to make use of the consolidated information contained in the Central Repository. Unless otherwise ordered by the SEC, within fourteen (14) months after the Effective Date, each Participant shall initially implement a new or enhanced surveillance system(s) as required by SEC Rule 613 and the preceding sentence.
Surveillance Systems. For example, today’s surveillance systems are becoming more “intelligent” with their extraordinary data processing speed and power. Traditionally, radar controllers are relatively "passive" in the sense that they rely very much on the information displayed on the radar screen to locate and control aircraft in flight. However, interactions between humans and the machine have become a vital component in future sur veillance systems. The system requires constant update of flight information to ensure accurate flight trajectory projections which assist the controller to formulate tactical plans and making real-time decisions. Importantly, the surveillance systems nowadays are not limited to just receiving radar signal, the capability of integrating non-radar signals such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) has become a standard feature. Flight-progress Strip The paper flight-progress strip, another conventional controlling tool, which has been adopted for decades is being gradually replaced by electronic flight progress strips (EFPS). Mimicking the conventional strip- board setting and functions like cocking up the strips and writing on the e-strips displayed on a touch-screen panel with a stylus enables controllers to enjoy the benefits of digitization while keeping the legacy of strip marking and strip-board management.
Surveillance Systems. The Municipality and the Union recognize the need for electronic surveillance systems for the purpose of protecting the employees, public and property of the Municipality from criminal acts. At no time may such systems be used as a means to evaluate performance of employees and to gather evidence in support or defense of disciplinary measures unless such disciplinary measures result from the commission of a criminal act.
Surveillance Systems. In 1974, nutritional surveillance was proposed as a key strategy to reduce hunger at the World Conference on Nutrition in Rome. Under this strategy, indicators for nutritional surveillance should be developed by governments in order to identify nutritional priorities, determine causes, and develop, implement, and evaluate interventions to improve nutritional conditions. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) recommended that nutritional surveillance systems collect “information on mortality, morbidity, anthropometry, food availability, food intake, food prices, breast-feeding, food quality and safety, along with information on knowledge, attitudes and practices, family size and income, rainfall and landholding” [40]. Along these lines, the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System Network (SISVAN) was formed in Latin America to serve as a technical mechanism made up of public, private or independent institutions. The purpose of SISVAN is to support the development of food and nutrition surveillance and increase technological capacity through the exchange of experiences and knowledge between Latin American countries. Sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) Regional Office of Latin America and the Caribbean since 1996, SISVAN is currently comprised of 19 member states. Data from SISVAN is used to generate Country Nutritional Profiles which are the basis for the development of the Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information and Mapping Systems (FIVIMS) [41]. Country Nutritional Profiles present a nutritional snapshot of individual countries by highlighting statistics related to agricultural production, health, demographic and economic indicators [42] .
Surveillance Systems. Quantitative results Table 11. Score for questions of the Surveillance Systems element Element 8: Surveillance Systems Rating BZ CR GT HN NI PA Note: BZ = Belize, CR = Costa Rica, GT = Guatemala, HN = Honduras, NI = Nicaragua, PA = Xxxxxx, 0 = does not exist, 1 = in progress but incomplete, 2 = complete and functional. The Surveillance Systems element potential maximum score was 18. All country scores were between sixteen and eighteen. All countries had fully functional national surveillance system that regularly collects population-based disease data. All countries also have case definitions developed and agreed upon nationally for the early warning system, and have a lab component to the surveillance system. In addition, all have adequate lab capacity in the country to test, ship, and report samples. Finally, all have a system to rapidly expand the financial resources of the embassy, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s), and other country mission stakeholders. All countries had an early warning system, and five of the six countries’ system were fully functional. All countries also had data collected in the early warning system that could be viewed and analyzed at the local level. For four of the six countries, the system was fully functional. Similarly, all six countries had some level of multi-disciplinary rapid response team to investigate outbreaks, four of which were fully functional. Finally, all had a community-based component to the surveillance system, four of which were fully functional.
