In the immediate aftermath of disaster, governments usually act quickly to reduce risk and to recover their communities’ socio-economic functioning. Policy makers in these situations need—but may not have the capacity or time for—substantial analysis and public debate about how to balance short- and ...
Objective: to know the prevalence of occupational accidents in children and youth who work with their families in the rural environment and to identify the associated factors. Method: exploratory, descriptive and analytical study with quantitative approach, developed in three rural areas. Participants ...
Access to food has been determined to be a factor that strongly influences the dietary intake and eating habit of indigenous people (Orang Asli, OA). This study explored food acquisition and the barriers in obtaining traditional and market foods among the Jahai subtribe (within the Negrito ethnic group) ...
Key Takeaways Approximately two-thirds of the 2016 U.S. imports originated in countries with workplaces less safe than those in the U.S. The U.S. has failed to achieve the low fatal injury rates attained by some top importing countries. Readers are asked to reflect on how the U.S. can share its knowledge ...
Ecological resilience describes systems that have the capacity to recover after a complete collapse of system function. For a system to be ecologically resilient, system collapse is accepted as being inevitable and requires that the resources for subsequent system recovery be buried in the wreckage ...
The use of environmental data to support science, technology, and marine operations has evolved dramatically owing to long-term ocean observatories, unmanned platforms, satellite and coastal remote sensing, data assimilative numerical models, and high-speed communications. Actionable environmental information ...
The broad outline of a Cyber Republic should have emerged by now. Many details are still missing, but the purpose of this book has been to provide a first iteration, an imperfect yet adequate paper prototype to trigger a broader discussion for an evolved system of liberal government fit for the Fourth ...
Artificial intelligence is opening up many new and exciting ways to improve environmental management. AI is certainly not a panacea. The applications of intelligent automation and machine learning tend to reflect the same technocentric and anthropocentric biases of ecosystem management more generally. ...
Rapid urbanization, marked by massive land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) and explosive population growth, has a significant impact on human activities. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of LUCC in the Zhoushan Archipelago, dynamic monitoring and analysis of LUCC was ...
Moving target detection is of vital importance to maritime security and maritime resource protection. However, the detection of slow or weak targets is difficult based on traditional methods. A new detection method is proposed by using the different motion variations of radar moving target and sea clutter ...
With elaborate reviews and on-site investigations, this paper systematically depicts the water resource status of Jaffna Peninsula from perspectives of both lagoon water and groundwater. The main problems that local government faced in water resources development and utilization process are heterogeneity ...
the coastal zone is a zone where the ocean and the land meets, which is also the "life belt" of today's human social and economic development. Due to the impact of global climate change, the ecological environment of the coastal zone is seriously threatened. This paper briefly describes the corresponding ...
Hong Kong’s port is one of the busiest in the world. Such heavy traffic is associated with a high accident rate. The present study uses Bayesian Networks to analyze accident risk in Hong Kong waters using 331 accident reports during the period of 1999-2017. The methodology adopted is comprised of an ...
This paper presents, a novel Long Range Wi-Fi based Vehicular network architectural framework for marine fishing vessels, referred to as fishing nodes for providing Internet connectivity to the sea. This work includes the background, concept and proposed communication network framework considering different ...
Marine environment can be very extreme and unpredictable. fishing vessels need a robust communication infrastructure to connect to the shore based services during scenarios such as impending cyclones and other emergencies (such as accidents with ships) to expedite rescue operations. Even operation-wise, ...
The study of the effects of climate change on the marine environment requires the existence of sufficiently long time series of key parameters. The study of these series allows both to characterize the range of variability in each particular region and to detect trends or changes that could be attributed ...
Background: Pollution – unwanted waste released to air, water, and land by human activity – is the largest environmental cause of disease in the world today. It is responsible for an estimated nine million premature deaths per year, enormous economic losses, erosion of human capital, and degradation ...
Mesophotic assemblages are the next frontier of marine exploration in the Mediterranean Sea. Located below recreational scuba diving depths, they are difficult to access but host a diverse array of habitats structured by large invertebrate species. The Eastern Mediterranean has been much less explored ...
