The goal of this paper is to present the elements of the issues of crisis management modeling. Knowledge of these elements is essential for the creating models of crisis management. At the beginning it is paid the attention to the ideas of theory of chaos that have been applied to crisis management. It also points to the need for the concept of the organization as a system. Furthermore, it deal...

Although the reproductive success of most organisms depends on factors acting at several spatial scales, little is known about how organisms are able to synthesize multi-scale information to optimize reproduction. Using longitudinal data from a long-lived seabird, Monteiro's storm-petrel, we show that average breeding success is strongly related to oceanic conditions at the population level, an...

We develop a model of currency crises, in which traders are heterogeneously informed, and interest rates are endogenously determined in a noisy rational expectations equilibrium. In our model, multiple equilibria result from distinct roles an interest rate plays in determining domestic asset market allocations and the devaluation outcome. Except for special cases, this finding is not affected b...

nancial crises is one of the gravest threats to an open and liberal international economic order... Recent events in Turkey and Argentina demonstrate that financial crises with potentially profound consequences for economic and political stability are not a thing of the past.

Dramatic changes in the relative prices of goods in international trade have accompanied, and indeed preceded, the global crisis. These changes are reflected in the terms of trade of individual countries and in the relative prices of goods within those countries. Asia-Pacific countries are particularly affected by the changes in relative prices as they have been at the core of the increasing gl...

the present nuclear leakage crisis from japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. in radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. based on previous similar nuclear crisis in russia, it is eviden...

natural hazards in the form of floods, quakes, cyclones, and the like have existed since the earth has come to being. in recent decades, in spite of scientific and technological developments in forecasting incidents, building construction and crisis management have imposed heavy expenses on human societies. the importance of many natural hazards is so great that to predict the very occurrence a...

Crisis management is a special type of collaborative approach in which the actors are subject to an uninterrupted stress. It is a quite significant issue because the consequences of crises can bring huge damages (human and economic loses). In order to learn from expertise and reduce consequences, we present in this paper our first results related to the definition of structure and interfaces in...
