“…Twenty participants were selected based on their managerial experience in military hospitals. The sampling method was non-random and it was done by the snowball sampling method with maximum diversity in the selection of samples [29][30][31]. Table 1 shows the characteristics of 20 experts who prioritized the selected indicators.…”

Background Proper human resource management in military health centers leads to long-term development and improved health-care quality. As a result, the purpose of this research is to identify the key performance indicators of human resource management for military hospital managers, and the unique indicators of military hospitals were obtained. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed by the TOPSIS method in the fall of 2021. This study used a checklist consisting of 20 performance indicators of human resource management, which were scored by 20 senior military hospital managers based on two criteria: "importance" and "measurability in military hospitals". The Shannon entropy method was used to weight the indicators, and the BT-TOPSIS Solver software was used to analyze and prioritize them. Results Among the 20 indicators in human resource management, the staff satisfaction index in military hospitals, the competitiveness rate of salaries in military hospitals relative to the national sector, the number of permanent staff in military hospitals, and the percentage of contract labor costs in military hospitals have the highest coefficient, respectively. Conclusions The importance of human resource management and organizational performance is due to their influence on each other. As a result, human resource management should pay special attention to the professional and personal development of human resources, as this has an impact on the performance of the organization in the long run. In light of the sensitive nature of human resource management and its crucial role in achieving any organization's strategic goals, selecting appropriate indicators is essential. The Department of Military Health requires indicators unique to the military sector to assess the human resource management of the military hospital, since according to the existing circumstances, the indicators of the military sector and those of the civilian sector are different.

“…To effectively understand and measure resilience, we have proposed a scoring system based on an assessment of resilience in six different domains. Resilience requires action across multiple aspects of water and sanitation services 34 and the concept of domains is useful in capturing the multi-faceted nature of the influence on resilience 54 . Combining the data from the six domains identified provides a multi-dimensional assessment of resilience.…”

The how tough is WASH framework for assessing the climate resilience of water and sanitation

Climate change presents a major threat to water and sanitation services. There is an urgent need to understand and improve resilience, particularly in rural communities and small towns in low- and middle-income countries that already struggle to provide universal access to services and face increasing threats from climate change. To date, there is a lack of a simple framework to assess the resilience of water and sanitation services which hinders the development of strategies to improve services. An interdisciplinary team of engineers and environmental and social scientists were brought together to investigate the development of a resilience measurement framework for use in low- and middle-income countries. Six domains of interest were identified based on a literature review, expert opinion, and limited field assessments in two countries. A scoring system using a Likert scale is proposed to assess the resilience of services and allow analysis at local and national levels to support improvements in individual supplies, identifying systematic faults, and support prioritisation for action. This is a simple, multi-dimensional framework for assessing the resilience of rural and small-town water and sanitation services in LMICs. The framework is being further tested in Nepal and Ethiopia and future results will be reported on its application.

“…We select indicators applied at a city scale (criterion 3), as cities are seen as critical administrative entities tackling complex sustainability, development, and planning challenges seen as drivers for change (Klopp and Petretta, 2017;Rosenzweig et al, 2018). Furthermore, climate impacts on coastal areas depend strongly on local specificities (such as topography, economic structure, and adaptive capacities) that, in turn, determine local vulnerabilities (Arnott et al, 2016;Salehi et al, 2019). Thus, assessments of adaptation strategies and their contribution to sustainable urban development need to be carried out at the city scale (Hallegatte et al, 2011;Sethamo and Harder, 2021).…”

“…Based on the outcome of the review, we highlight differences in conceptualizations to better understand the barriers and potentials of integrating SUD and CACC. While there is a vast number of indicator reviews focusing on urban sustainability (Hiremath et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2015;Merino-Saum et al, 2020), only a few reviews of indicators for climate change adaptation exist to date (Arnott et al, 2016;Salehi et al, 2019) and none of them appear to focus on the city scale and on adaptation to rising sea levels. Furthermore, no comparative review studying both domains of SUD and CACC has been conducted as of yet.…”
