The total volume soil moisture content is the sum of volume of water for each layer. In EFAS, snow depth water equivalent in each grid box is calculated from three elevation-related bands to account for the difference in the melting rate with snow condition (see Auxiliary Data for more details). These courses are aimed at Higher Surgical Trainees / ST3 onwards and are designed to teach the core of Foot and Ankle surgery in an informal and interactive environment. The emphasis is on clinical examination cases, discussion groups and typical day-to-day clinic scenarios. Although not an exam preparation course, content is taught to the standard expected in the FRCS(Tr & Orth) exam; that of a day-one non-specialist orthopaedic consultant.

Through this collaborative approach, we can share knowledge, respect our differences and work towards unified goals in hearing healthcare. Education is the foundation for strong academic and clinical excellence in audiology. One of the visions for EFAS during my presidency is to enhance the visibility and understanding of the structure of audiology education across various universities in Europe. We must also foster interdisciplinary education, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience to better reflect the real-world complexities of hearing care. EFAS is committed to supporting this vision by working closely with the national representatives of EFAS and academic institutions worldwide. The field of audiology is not just about diagnosing and treating hearing loss—it is a multidisciplinary field about restoring human connection, enabling communication and promoting inclusion in a society.

I extend my sincere gratitude to all members of EFAS for placing your trust in me. It is both a profound responsibility and a great source of inspiration to lead such a distinguished community of professionals in the field of audiology. A technical issue linked with the processing of SYNOP data at ECMWF has impacted the quality of the SYNOP layer shown on EFAS. This does not have any impact on the EFAS service which does not use the data stream used in the SYNOP layer. This will comprise evidence-based practice and technical tips including videos of surgical techniques. It seems we attempted to describe soil depth as a grib parameter (as it is used in multiple in-house applications) on this documentation page.

Upcoming Conferences

Known issues include, but are not limited to, forecast issues, production incidents, and data quality deterioration. During the second session titled “Pearls of Wisdom,” senior surgeons would share their journeys and experience. The 3rd session would be an interactive case-based discussion session so that everyone can learn something from it.

LogbookA complete logbook of surgical cases shall be required preferably electronically for ratification by the examination board before proceeding to the examination. The EFAS User Guide is meant to provide information on the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) and its vast products and services for both the first-time users and those who want to learn more about available services and data. The European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) underscores that surgical procedures on the foot and ankle should only be performed by medically trained surgeons who are fully accountable for their treatment decisions and outcomes. The European Federation of Autonomic Societies (EFAS) is an umbrella society founded in 1997 in London, UK.EFAS hosts national autonomic societies (NAS), societies not exclusively specialised in autonomic nervous system research and private persons.

The volume of water over the total volume of voids in the soil, expressed as an index with values between 0 (residual soil moisture) and 1 (saturation), representing the lower and upper soil moisture limits of the root zone. The root zone is the maximum depth at which plants can extract water from the soil. Voids are empty spaces in the soil column that can be filled with water or air. Volume rate of water flow, including sediments, chemical and biological material, in the river channel averaged over a time step through a cross-section.

Tibialis posterior dysfunction (FDL transfer, Cobb reconstruction and allied procedures), tendon transfers, dislocation of the peroneal tendons – relocation, Tendo Achilles surgery including late repair, decompression and lengthening. FellowshipsEvidence of appropriate Fellowship training in a Foot and Ankle Surgery Centre of Excellence is not obligatory but desirable. A list of Centres throughout Europe has been collected but consideration may be given to other International Fellowships. The minimum time period is three months but this may include training for shorter periods in several centres. It is a great honor and privilege to assume the office as the President of the European Federation of Audiology Societies (EFAS) at the 17th EFAS congress in Vienna in May 2025.

  • This parameter is the total amount of water accumulated over a particular time period which depends on the data extracted.The units of runoff are depth in metres.
  • The EFAS Matrix primarily focuses on external factors such as opportunities and threats, while the SWOT Analysis considers both internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors.
  • This type of membership is for individual European orthopaedic and trauma surgeons with strong interest in foot and ankle surgery residing in a country where there is no EFAS-affiliated National Society.
  • The reforecasts are initialised twice weekly with lead times up to 46 days, at 6-hourly time steps for 20 years.
  • Ebru Zeren, Senior Audiologist, Audiology Department, Mid and South Essex University Hospitals GroupI had an incredible opportunity to attend the 17th Congress of the European Federation of Audiology Societies (EFAS), held in the heart of Vienna, Austria.

It provides complementary, added-value information (e.g. probabilistic, medium range flood forecasts, flash flood indicators or impact forecasts) to the relevant national and regional authorities. Furthermore, EFAS keeps the  Emergency Response Coordination Centre  (ERCC) informed about ongoing and possibly upcoming flood events across Europe. Some water from rainfall, melting snow, or deep in the soil, stays stored in the soil. Otherwise, the water drains away, either over the surface (surface runoff), or under the ground (sub-surface runoff) and the sum of these two is simply called ‘runoff’. This parameter is the total amount of water accumulated over a particular time period which depends on the data extracted.The units of runoff are depth in metres. This is the depth the water would have if it were spread evenly over the grid box.

  • The official documentation (Model Output – Copernicus Emergency Management Service – CEMS – ECMWF Confluence Wiki) gives the units as meters.
  • EFAS may also represent European audiology in international forums and organizations.
  • But when I upload the netCDF file in Python using xarray and actually check it, the soil depth for layer 1 goes till 50 meters, and the soil depth for layer 2 goes till 1400 m (1.4 km !!!).
  • We have a compiled a list of common conditions which can be successfully treated by several methods, which are described in the different topics.
  • Soil depth is a positive value downward for each of the three soil layers at each grid point.
  • The approach in 3 phases – theorical presentation, faculty demonstration, and practical work – is similar to basic course.
  • The emphasis is on clinical examination cases, discussion groups and typical day-to-day clinic scenarios.
  • In addition, detailed forecasts are also available at stations where the national services are providing river discharge data.
  • Individual Global Members enjoy all membership benefits, but are not eligible to vote at the General Assembly or be elected to Council.

For the candidates who pass the Board shall be responsible for the recommendation to the Union of European Medical Societies (UEMS) for endorsement prior to the award of the Certificate. EFAS provides the framework for focused working groups, usually consisting of active members in the respective field that are established and terminated as needed. Their task usually is to coordinate work directed to specific problems in audiology across different European countries, to come up with reports, consensus statements, or recommendations for further coordinated actions. If you are an an individual with strong commitment to foot and ankle surgery residing and working outside of Europe, you may apply for this membership type. If you are a foot and ankle surgeon residing and working in a European country where there is no EFAS-affiliated National Society, you may apply for this membership type by choosing respective option below.

EFAS 4.2 mainly concerns the addition of new hydrological river discharge stations in relevant layers, wtih additional improvements and general bug fixes. EFAS v5.2 introduces several minor changes to the system, including; Revised Notification criteria for Formal and Informal notifications, updates to station metadata, updated flood protection levels and major rivers layers, and updated documentation on FTP access. The Scientific Committee is looking for experienced orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons committed to teaching and education to join the 8-member-Scientific-Committee team. We hold 2 online work meetings and 1 face-to-face meeting every year, where we work on the drafts to build EFAS meetings with the highest standards in orthopaedic education and training. If you are an orthopaedic surgeon in training, or health practionare or scientist dedicated to advancement of foot and ankle knowledge you may select this membership type for application.

The policy of the Copernicus program is that products and services offered under this program are per definition free and open to everyone, with only a few exceptions made for specific reasons. With regards to flood management, the Member States hold the exclusive right to issue flood warnings. To respect that mandate, all real-time EFAS forecasts and products are restricted and only accessible to “EFAS partners”. Logbook A complete logbook of surgical cases shall be required preferably electronically for ratification by the examination board before proceeding to the examination.

  • The total volume soil moisture content is the sum of volume of water for each layer.
  • The applying individual must demonstrate commitment to foot and ankle surgery through their membership application.
  • Furthermore, EFAS keeps the  Emergency Response Coordination Centre  (ERCC) informed about ongoing and possibly upcoming flood events across Europe.
  • This enables your staff to customise the functionality through the toolkit, allowing them to create new applications, specific to the tasks required.
  • The reforecasts are initialised monthly and run with 24-hourly time step for 123 days or 215 days, depending on the date it was produced.

The agenda will include the election of new Council officers, and members will be required to cast their votes electronically. An email containing the voting link will be sent to the email address used for registration at the commencement of the General Assembly. The error in the computation of the initial conditions of EFAS version 5 forecasts has been corrected. Once the candidate has satisfied the examiners and examination board, a pass and Certificate shall be awarded by EFAS.

The approach in 3 phases – theorical presentation, faculty demonstration, and practical work – is similar to basic course. The participants work with fresh cadaver specimens, all tested and with all safety guarantees. Held in mid to late August each year, the conference is hosted by select universities, financial institutions, and business schools, usually located in Europe. Current research papers and practices in the broad areas of Finance and Management are presented and discussed over several days. The EFA Annual Meeting is preceded by two pre-conference EFA Doctoral Events for PhD students.

This margin compares a company’s revenue to its total sales, highlighting efficiency in generating revenue. It reflects a company’s ability to convert revenue into profit, indicating operational efficiency and profitability. It is the primary measure of a company’s profitability and is often used to calculate other financial metrics. The Debt-to-Equity (D/E) ratio measures a company’s financial leverage by comparing its total debt to shareholder equity. The Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio compares a company’s market price to its book value (total assets minus total liabilities) per share. Revenue shows the scale of a company’s operations and serves as a baseline for evaluating profitability, growth, and efficiency.

Knowledge of the presentation, radiological and pathological features, treatment and outcome for common benign and malignant tumours in the foot and ankle. Knowledge of the presenting features, management and outcome of soft EFAS tissue lesions including sarcomas. EFAS and GloFAS help to protect citizens of Europe and the world, the environment, property and cultural heritage when major floods occur.

GloFAS provides a similar product portfolio as EFAS containing a wide range of early flood forecasting information to support stakeholders with flood risk management duties in arranging preparatory measures before an event strikes. The main difference to EFAS it the coarser spatial and temporal resolution due to the global setup. However, it is an asset to the flood risk management of large trans-national river basins, not least because it is free of charge and open to everyone who registers as a user. As for EFAS, GloFAS provided even estimates and maps of the potential socio-economic impact of flooding events.

  • EFACS E/8 reduces the time spent on small tasks, such as sending confirmation of orders, by linking up processes and automating them.
  • Reforecasts are forecasts run over past dates, and those presented here are used for providing a suitably long time period against which the skill of the 30-day real-time operational forecast can be assessed.
  • NAMEThe European Federation of Audiology Societies, EFAS, is a non-profit organization, formed as a federation for national audiology societies in the European countries.
  • With a logic driven Assisted Engineer Scheduling board, a simple yet powerful mobile application for engineer’s use and the power and scope of EFACS E/8’s functionality utilised for the back-office, managing your reactive and planned workload has never been easier.
  • The value is relative from the top of the land surface to the bottom of each layer respectively (i.e the soil depth for layer 1 goes to 50 mm and the soil depth for layer 2 goes to 1400 mm, and so on).

Our belief is that if students enjoy their first-aid training they will retain this valuable life skill. For EFAS v3.5 and earlier, all variables were only available for 24-hourly time steps. Since EFAS v4.0, all variables are only available for 6-hourly time steps (but can be aggregated to 24-hourly for all non-instantaneous variables). This is the first course BOFAS is running in UAE and the aim is to expand the Foot and Ankle education and training in the Middle East and Gulf area. We value our industry partnerships, and are pleased to offer a range of opportunities for industry to support the Society’s conference, symposium, courses, and support research through the EFAS Foundation.
