Psychological trauma and substance abuse: the need for an Integrated Approach.
Trauma violence & abuse, 2010Co-Authors: Priscilla Dass-brailsford, Amie C. MyrickAbstract:There is consensus that an Integrated Approach which addresses the clinical needs of individuals who have histories of substance abuse and psychological trauma concurrently is an acceptable and preferred Approach to treatment. Several Integrated models have emerged in recent years. In this paper we first define the concepts of substance abuse and psychological trauma, investigate the relationship between both and proceed to discuss why an Integrated Approach is most compelling. Finally, we review and critically examine the different Integrated models that have been developed in terms of efficacy, effectiveness and empirical evidence. The paper concludes with suggestions on how the field can be improved.

an Integrated Approach to establish e waste management systems for developing countries
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018Co-Authors: Mahdi IkhlayelAbstract:Abstract E-waste (also known as waste electrical and electronic equipment) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. Given this rapid growth, issues related to e-waste are a serious concern. Increasing amounts of e-waste pose detrimental effects to the environment and public health through improper recycling and disposal techniques. Such informal recycling practices are common in several developing countries, where recycling methods are rudimentary, and a significant proportion of e-waste components ends up in unsanitary (uncontrolled) landfill and open dump sites. To address these issues, this paper aims to introduce a systematic Approach to e-waste management; a process termed Integrated e-waste management (IEWM) is a theoretically viable technique in which municipal solid waste and e-waste management systems are managed. This is possible because both systems share common waste fractions and treatment and disposal technologies. Therefore, Integrated e-waste management represents an advance in the controlled disposal of e-waste and improvements in local environments and public health in developing countries. This study employs a systematic Approach that combines field trip work, systematic literature review, and quantitative data analysis to propose a solution that can bring benefits in the short, medium and long-term. The study proposes the hypothesis that an Integrated Approach can improve e-waste handling in developing countries by addressing region-specific issues simultaneously. This study considers the technical aspects of implementing an Integrated Approach and, by comparing these aspects against more traditional, widely practiced Approaches.

vehicle and crew scheduling solving large real world instances with an Integrated Approach
Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems, 2008Co-Authors: Sebastiaan De Groot, Dennis HuismanAbstract:In this paper we discuss several methods to solve large real-world instances of the vehicle and crew scheduling problem. Although there has been an increased attention to Integrated Approaches for solving such problems in the literature, currently only small or medium-sized instances can be solved by such Approaches. Therefore, large instances should be split into several smaller ones, which can be solved by an Integrated Approach, or the sequential Approach, i.e., first vehicle scheduling and afterwards crew scheduling, is applied.

vehicle and crew scheduling solving large real world instances with an Integrated Approach
Research Papers in Economics, 2004Co-Authors: Sebastiaan De Groot, Dennis HuismanAbstract:In this paper we discuss several methods to solve large real-world instances of the vehicle and crew scheduling problem. Although, there has been an increased attention to Integrated Approaches for solving such problems in the literature, currently only small or medium-sized instances can be solved by such Approaches. Therefore, large instances should be split into several smaller ones, which can be solved by an Integrated Approach, or the sequential Approach, i.e. first vehicle scheduling and afterwards crew scheduling, is applied. In this paper we compare both Approaches, where we consider different ways of splitting an instance varying from very simple rules to more sophisticated ones. Those ways are extensively tested by computational experiments on real-world data provided by the largest Dutch bus company.

applying an Integrated Approach to vehicle and crew scheduling in practice
Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems, 2001Co-Authors: Richard Freling, Dennis Huisman, Albert WagelmansAbstract:This paper deals with a practical application of an Integrated Approach to vehicle and crew scheduling, that we have developed previously. Computational results have shown that our Approach can be applied to problems of practical size. However, application of the Approach to the actual problems that one encounters in practice, is not always straightforward. This is mainly due to the existence of particular constraints that can be regarded as “house rules” of the public transport company under consideration.

applying an Integrated Approach to vehicle and crew scheduling in practice
Research Papers in Economics, 2000Co-Authors: Richard Freling, Dennis Huisman, Albert WagelmansAbstract:This paper deals with a practical application of an Integrated Approach to vehicle and crew scheduling, that we have developed previously. Computational results have shown that our Approach can be applied to problems of practical size. However, application of the Approach to the actual problems that one encounters in practice, is not always straightforward. This is mainly due to the existence of particular constraints that can be regarded as \\house rules" of the public transport company under consideration. In this paper we apply our Approach to problems of individual bus lines of the RET, the Rotterdam public transport company, where particular constraints should be satisfied. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of allowing drivers to change vehicle during a break. Currently, the rule at the RET is that such changeovers are only allowed in split duties; they are never allowed in other type of duties. We show that it is already possible to save crews if for the non-split duties, restricted changeovers are allowed.
