Finally, recommendations are made for consideration of additional strategies where warranted, and two of the four candidate strategies identified by this effort are assessed in detail: (1) preparation of a boron solution for reactor vessel refill should control blade damage occur during a period of temporary core dryout and (2) containment flooding to maintain the core debris within the reactor vessel if the injection systems cannot be restored. Second, where considered necessary, new candidate accident management strategies are proposed for mitigation of the late-phase (after core damage has occurred) events. This includes a review of the BWR Owners' Group Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGSs) to determine the extent to which they currently address the characteristic events of an unmitigated severe accident and to provide the basis for recommendations for enhancement of accident management procedures. First, the findings of an assessment of the current status of accident management strategies for the mitigation of in-vessel events for BWR severe accident sequences are described. This report provides the results of work carried out in support of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Accident Management Research Program to develop a technical basis for evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of current and proposed strategies for boiling water reactor (BWR) severe accident management. It also helps reveal possible sites of difficulty when individuals of different cultures communicate about the issue.
The effect of culture on the way `AIDS celebrities' are constructed has implications for the way societies view the issue of AIDS and treat those who have it. When the players in the construction hold shared assumptions about the nature of the self and the role of communication in enacting it, harmonious discourses arise, but when cultural models among the players differ, contradictory or ambiguous constructions result. It argues that the construction of `AIDS celebrities' is a kind of `identity project' negotiated among the players involved: the media, the Government, the public, and the person with AIDS (PWA) himself, each bringing to the construction their own `theories' regarding the self and communication. This article explores how the public identities of these two figures were constructed in the cultural context of Hong Kong where both Eastern and Western values exist side by side and interact. Chan appeared in Government television commercials about AIDS. Mike Sinclair worked as an education officer for the Hong Kong AIDS Foundation, and J.J. When they made their revelations, both became instant media personalities and were invited by the Hong Kong Government to act as spokespeople for AIDS awareness and prevention. Chan, a local Chinese disc-jockey, who came forward in 1995 and died just a few months later. Since the first reported case of HIV infection in Hong Kong in 1985, only two HIV-positive individuals in the territory have voluntarily made public their seropositivity: a British dentist named Mike Sinclair, who disclosed his condition to the media in 1992 and died in 1995, and J.J. This paper is significant to educationists and public health practitioners who will be able to assess the impact of their efforts in the war against HIV and AIDS.
There is general awareness of HIV and AIDS among the youth and there is need to escalate the fight by highlighting the effects of HIV infection. Findings reveal that ambience, body language, colour, gaze, gesture, graphics and imagery work in complementarity to craft the overall images of HIV and AIDS. This paper provides an interactive sociolinguistic model through which the contradictory discourses of HIV and AIDS might be understood, drawing from Goffman"s insights on stigma management and the presentation of the self in social interactions. It entails a Critical Discourse Analysis of the images of HIV and AIDS in the print media. It explains the multimodal nature of the newspaper advertisements. This paper describes the images of HIV and AIDS in advertisements in the print media as seen through the eyes of school-going adolescents. The Kenya government developed media campaign materials that appeared as advertisements in the local daily newspapers. Efforts to combat and manage the impacts of HIV and AIDS include the development of Information, Education and Communication materials targeted at adolescents in school.
The fight against HIV and AIDS in Kenya has been achieved through the concerted efforts of government, the media, medical practitioners, religious groups and the general public.
