Цель работы. В статье рассматриваются основные причины ограниченной реализации Стратегии экономической безопасности Российской Федерации на период до 2030 года и предлагаются мероприятия активизации реализации её мероприятий в условиях антироссийских санкций. Метод и методология работы. В процессе исследования использованы методы эволюционно-институциональной теории, эконометрического моделирования и аналитической оценки. Результаты и выводы. Для обеспечения экономической безопасности России, её экономического и технологического суверенитета в условиях геополитических и геоэкономических вызовов и угроз, большое значение имеет сбалансированное и устойчивое развитие промышленности. Учитывая антироссийские санкции, требуется пересмотр «целевых» и особенно «предельно допустимых (критических) значений многих показателей оценки состояния экономической безопасности России. В связи с этим, требуется замены изжившей себя налоговой системы фискального типа на инновационную парадигму бюджетно-налоговой системы, как инструмента бюджетного проектирования, которая в условиях антироссийских санкций, ограничивающих мирохозяйственные связи обеспечит формирование доходов в необходимых объемах не только для федерального бюджета Российской Федерации, а и для консолидированного бюджета субъектов Российской Федерации и государственно внебюджетных фондов, обеспечивая при этом благоприятные условия для бизнеса, освобождая их от многочисленных налоговых и неналоговых платежей и изменения налоговых директив.

Background

In Sweden, information on seroprevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in the population, including vaccination coverage and infection, is scattered. This is largely due to the absence of a national tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccination registry, scarcity of previous serological studies and use of serological methods not distinguishing between antibodies induced by vaccination and infection. Furthermore, the number of notified TBE cases in Sweden has continued to increase in recent years despite increased vaccination.

Aim

The aim was to estimate the TBEV seroprevalence in Sweden.

Methods

In 2018 and 2019, 2,700 serum samples from blood donors in nine Swedish regions were analysed using a serological method that can distinguish antibodies induced by vaccination from antibodies elicited by infection. The regions were chosen to reflect differences in notified TBE incidence.

Results

The overall seroprevalence varied from 9.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 6.6–13.6%) to 64.0% (95% CI: 58.3–69.4%) between regions. The proportion of vaccinated individuals ranged from 8.7% (95% CI: 5.8–12.6) to 57.0% (95% CI: 51.2–62.6) and of infected from 1.0% (95% CI: 0.2–3.0) to 7.0% (95% CI: 4.5–10.7). Thus, more than 160,000 and 1,600,000 individuals could have been infected by TBEV and vaccinated against TBE, respectively. The mean manifestation index was 3.1%.

Conclusion

A difference was observed between low- and high-incidence TBE regions, on the overall TBEV seroprevalence and when separated into vaccinated and infected individuals. The estimated incidence and manifestation index argue that a large proportion of TBEV infections are not diagnosed.
Humoral immune escape by current SARS-CoV-2 variants BA.2.86 and JN.1, December 2023

Published: January 2024

Variant BA.2.86 and its descendant, JN.1, of SARS-CoV-2 are rising in incidence across Europe and globally. We isolated recent JN.1, BA.2.86, EG.5, XBB.1.5 and earlier variants. We tested live virus neutralisation of sera taken in September 2023 from vaccinated and exposed healthy persons (n = 39). We found clear neutralisation escape against recent variants but no specific pronounced escape for BA.2.86 or JN.1. Neutralisation escape corresponds to recent variant predominance but may not be causative of the recent upsurge in JN.1 incidence.
Milankovitch cycles in the Juniata Formation, Late Ordovician, Central Appalachian Basin, USA
Authors: Hinnov Linda A. , Diecchio Richard J.
Published: January 2024

The Juniata Formation is a thick succession of prevalently red, cyclically bedded arenites, wackes, and mudrocks found in the Upper Ordovician of the Central Appalachian Basin, USA. In outcrops close to the study area, the Juniata cycles predominantly have the characteristics of regressive tidal flat deposits. Long and continuous well logs of the subsurface Juniata provide an unparalleled opportunity to investigate Milankovitch controls on the cyclic deposition. In the Preston 119 well, northern West Virginia, a 2700-ft long gamma-ray well log provides a high-resolution proxy of terrigenous siliciclastic flux to the northern Central Appalachian Basin shoreline, from the early Maysvillian (Reedsville Shale) to the Ordovician/Silurian transition (Tuscarora Sandstone). The gamma-ray cycles provide strong evidence for sea level oscillations forced by Milankovitch cycleswith a dominant obliquity component. The strong obliquity signal is reminiscent of the obliquity forcing of Oligocene climate and sea level following the glaciation of Antarctica. The Late Ordovician world analogously experienced glaciation of Gondwana, which straddled the South Pole; this may have involved ice sheet dynamics that generated obliquity-paced sea level oscillations that affected Late Ordovician shorelines worldwide. This Milankovitch-forced glacio-eustatic record from eastern North America joins other suspected Milankovitch-forced successions reported from the Late Ordovician of northern Africa, northwestern Australia, Scandinavia, and northeastern and eastern-central North America.

Published: January 2024

The availability of updated and easy access to geospatial data and information is the main thing in disaster mitigation and sustainable spatial planning. This needs to be supported by the rapid development of technology in the aspect of spreading data and spatial information via the internet. The Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is realized as an implementation of spatial data distribution. SDI is an integrated mechanism to make it easier for spatial data users to access, search, share, and use spatial data and information. Built upon the background statements, the research does intend to develop a web-app which is functioned as a data repository, viewer, and also simple processing (web GIS). To design and develop a disaster geospatial online application web-app that has an integrated function (repository-web GIS) following the directions and input from user feedback becomes the fold of the research. . The importance of putting the user needs in building a web-app to be used by anyone universally is more realistic and practical. The user interface is very essential in bridging communication between users and web mapping systems. User-centred design (UCD) implemented by gathering input and feedback from users. UCD describes the process of ensuring interface success throughout the design and development of the interface. GeoNode has chosen as the platform since it is open-sourced, and commonly used for managing and publishing geospatial data. Based on respondents' assessment of the quality of content/information that important to be developed in a disaster website, it is recognized that providing reliable and up-to-date data and information (69%) and the accuracy of data and information (74%) are the most important things to develop in the InDITA application. the most important features to respondents are the spatial data display feature/map viewer (89%). The design of InDITA was built interactive and user-friendly which designed as an application that accommodates simple viewer, data repository, and web GIS functions. The interactive design emerged as the demand for app users.
Beyond the Image of Submission
At the Origin of the Distorted Portrait of the Byzantine Emperor John V Palaiologos (r. 1354-91) in the Latin West
Authors: D'Albenzio Giulia
Published: January 2024

This article explores the origin of the distorted image of the Byzantine emperor John V Palaiologos (r. 1354-91) in the Latin West. It opens with an examination of a submissive iconographic representation of John V in a seventeenth/eighteenth-century Venetian painting. The second section reflects on the initial stages of negative deformation that this emperor’s portrait underwent in historiography. The rationale behind these distortions seems to be closely linked to John V’s adherence to, then rejection of the Latin faith: in 1369, he converted to Latin Christianity, but over time his conversion came to be no longer considered valid.
Words For/Against Power
Pietro Aretino’s Poetical Devices as Demystification of the Present
Authors: Golfetto Andrea
Published: January 2024

Investigating the Ragionamento (1534) and the Dialogo (1536), this paper aims at reviewing Pietro Aretino’s relationship with power, both political and cultural. The author takes advantage of his poetical abilities as means of self-affirmation and political blackmail, developing between Rome and Venice a new poetic language, in which metaphor takes on a value that is anything but literary. Aretino wants to establish a concrete relationship with the recipients of his texts through the very act of writing. To do so, he credits the idea of a physicality and complete reality of all the elements that make the message possible, creating political images that reveal the vile nature of the corrupted authority.
Gendered Allegories of Power and Warfare: Warrior Women as Personifications in Early Modern Art
Authors: Stafferini Elisa
Published: January 2024

This article investigates the reinterpretation of warlike geographical personifications during the early modern period, focusing on sixteenth-century Italian painting. It analyses, through case studies, the ancient origin of these predominantly feminine allegories, the circumstances in which they appeared in painting and the role played by warfare in their proliferation. Additionally, the study investigates the gender dynamics involved, emphasizing how the visual portrayal of cities, countries, and republics as women positioned them metaphorically as mothers, lovers, wives, or maidens within rhetorical discourses and propagandistic imagery.
The Power of Statues in Byzantium
The Wooden Effigy of Saint George in Omorfokklisia as a Talismanic Device
Authors: De Zordi Elena
Published: January 2024

Sculpture in Byzantium was viewed with suspicion. However, in Omorfokklisia, near Kastoria, is preserved a thirteenth-century wooden effigy of Saint George that defies this assumption. The colossal dimensions – the height reaches almost three meters – and the all-relief technique, typical of ancient statuary, detach it from all the rest of the Byzantine production. It is thus argued that this object was specifically manufactured following the model of classical monumental sculpture to enhance the power already indwelling in the depiction of a saint.
Aby Warburg and the Political Iconography of Fascism: An Analysis of Symbols of Power
Authors: Piccichè Margherita
Published: January 2024

This paper explores the crucial role of political iconography in conveying power and ideology. It highlights the importance of contextualising images within the public space, examining Aby Warburg’s perspective on political imagery, with a focus on Fascist political iconography. Warburg’s interest lies in how Italian Fascism revived ancient Rome and reinterpreted symbols of power. He underscores the fundamental role of ancient pathos in the emergence of 20th-century totalitarianism. This paper seeks to consolidate and shed light on Warburg’s reflections concerning Italian fascism, offering a fresh perspective on political iconography.

Published: January 2024

Glodok is considered one of the largest Chinese urban areas in Indonesia, featuring shops, dwellings, temples, alleyways, and various other elements of Chinese culture. Several local urban practices can also be identified, including selling and buying, as well as the house-shop relations that are accomplished through the spaces between the buildings or the alleys. The people act as active agents of spatial production in everyday life in this location, supporting their economic, social, and cultural activities. To investigate the interrelationship between Chinese-Indonesian market culture and its influence on interiority, literature studies, and ethnography methods were practiced. The results of the study showed three main aspects affecting the interiority of Glodok, namely the 3-dimensional space of the alleys, the cultural identity, and the activity of the people, as well as experiences. Furthermore, the interiority is manifested in the activity of each individual and experiences within the alley, which exists due to market culture. Through an architectural approach that focuses on accommodating the local tradition, culture, and beliefs, the ambience present in Glodok causes both the people and visitors to unintentionally think about nostalgic experiences and memories, thereby creating an emotional, cultural, and historical engagement.
Effect of corruption on achievement of construction project goals
Authors: Ebenezer Olowolayemo Oluwaseun
Published: January 2024

In order to gain illicit benefits or abuse power for one's own benefit, corruption is a type of dishonesty or a criminal offense committed by a person or organization in a position of authority. This study examined the effect of corruption on achievement of construction project goals. This study collected data through the use of structured questionnaire that were administered to registered professionals in Ondo State. The target population comprises of Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Builders, and Engineer. Sixty-one questionnaires were administered; fifty questionnaires were retrieved from professionals. The data retrieved were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean score response analysis frequency and percentages. The study concluded that the three major effect of corruption on achievement of construction project are: increase in cost of materials, high cost of the construction project as results of inflated price of bill of quantities and un-realistic claims during the course of execution of the project, creation of monopoly and also it was concluded that corruption is having major effects on cost more than on quality, client’s satisfaction, time, safety. Moreover, the study recommends that corruption should be eradicated in order to prevent increase in the cost of materials, high cost of the construction project as results of inflated price of bill of quantities and un-realistic claims during the course of execution of the project, creation of monopoly.
The Russian musical art of the early 20th century: Antitheses
Authors: Demchenko Aleksandr Ivanovich
Published: January 2024

The essay examines the transition from the Classical era to the Modern (the turn and the beginning of the XX century, 1890s-1920s) in Russian musical art. It is noted that for this period, the key driving contradiction was embodied in the opposition “the old world – the new world”, based on the dialogue of the ending and the ascending era. The paper gives a brief description of the trends inherent in the Russian musical art of the Classical era, its final phase, which received various expressions (this was reflected in such antitheses as “degradation, degeneracy – the great petrification”, “the golden sunset – the black twilight”). Special attention is paid to the phenomena of the emerging era, i.e., the Modern. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the prevailing trend in the formation of the new world, in addition to the retention and consistent development of established norms, turned out to be a cardinal renewal of the entire system of life views, including the artistic and aesthetic sphere: as for musical technology, qualities such as rigidity, contradiction were put forward; within the framework of semantic aspects, fullness of strength and increased vitality, as well as an optimistic mood were manifested, which would be later associated with the elaboration of heroic imagery and the development of revolutionary heroics.
Inheritance of juvenile resistance to powdery mildew in barley accessions from Ethiopia
Authors: Abdullaev R. A. , Yakovleva O. V. , Lebedeva T. V.
Published: January 2024

Background. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the key food crops, ranking fourth in the world in terms of sown area and production among cereals. Often, one of the main factors that reduces yield and product quality is the spread of fungal pathogens in commercial crops. Powdery mildew (causative agent: Blumeria graminis (DC.) Golovin ex Speer f. sp. hordei Marchal) is considered one of the most common and harmful among barley diseases. Plant resistance to B. graminis limits the spread of the disease, and the development of resistant cultivars prevents a decrease in plant productivity. The specificity of the host–pathogen relationship and the loss of efficiency in many genes determine the need for a continuous study of previously unexplored local barley forms and a search for new, most effective resistance genes.

Materials and methods. The genetic control of juvenile resistance to B. graminis was studied in 14 accessions of spring barley from the Ethiopian (Abyssinian) center of crop origin. The natural population of the pathogen served as infectious material for infecting barley. The intensity and nature of sporulation as well as the qualitative reactions of plant tissues in response to the penetration of the fungus (necrosis and chlorosis) were accepted as indicators of resistance in the accessions. Powdery mildew resistance was assessed under laboratory and field conditions. The genetic control of the resistance trait was studied using the method of hybridological analysis followed by statistical processing.

Results and conclusions. Barleys from the Ethiopian center of morphogenesis are characterized by great genetic diversity. Studying the inheritance of juvenile resistance to powdery mildew made it possible to ascertain the monogenic control of the trait in all studied forms. Ten barley accessions with one effective recessive resistance allele and four with the dominant control of the trait may be recommended for immunity-targeted breeding.
Allelic diversity of the SSR locus VVIB23 linked to the flower sex in wild-growing grapevine genotypes of Krasnodar Territory
Authors: Ilnitskaya E. T. , Makarkina M. V. , Kozhevnikov E. A. , Gorbunov I. V.
Published: January 2024

Background. Studying wild-growing grapevines is of interest because it expands the knowledge on the genetic diversity within the gene pool and helps to search for new resistance sources. One of the main differences between wild vines and cultivars is the type of their reproductive system: wild grapes are represented by cross-pollinated dioecious vines, while cultivated ones are, with rare exceptions, hermaphrodites capable of self-pollination. A DNA marker applicable to determine the grape flower sex has been identified.

Materials and methods. The VVIB23 DNA marker to the Sex gene determining the flower sex was used to study 36 genotypes of wild-growing grapes selected in 2019–2021 within the Utrish Nature Reserve near Gelendzhik and the Krasny Les State Nature Reserve on the right bank of the Kuban River. PCR technique was applied, and the results were evaluated on a Nanofor 05 genetic analyzer.

Results. The studied grapevine accessions were found to be variable for the VVIB23 SSR locus: 7 types of alleles were identified. Alleles corresponding to the male flower type were present in 14 genotypes, and those corresponding to the female type in 21. A PCR fragment whose size, according to the published data, correlated with hermaphroditism was not found, which is typical for wild genotypes. The DNA marker analysis failed to determine the flower sex of one accession.

Conclusion. The results of the DNA marker analysis showed that the studied wild-growing grapevine genotypes were dioecious forms
On the issue of producing doubled haploids of table beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. conditiva Alef.) (a review)
Authors: Zaretsky A. M. , Kurina A. B. , Sokolova D. V.
Published: January 2024

Currently, hybrid table beet seeds make up a significant part of the seeds sold in the world due to their high synchrony, root uniformity, and the effect of heterosis. Heterosis breeding of table beet in Russia is developed insufficiently. One of the reasons is the lack of a well-studied homogeneous linear material. Another reason is a long and labor-consuming process of obtaining parent components for classical crossing due to a 2-year cycle of crop development, a pronounced self-incompatibility system, and inbreeding depression. In vitro production of doubled table beet haploids makes it possible to obtain homozygous material in a short time. It can be used in breeding programs as an alternative to traditional inbred lines. Therefore, introduction of the haploidization technology into the table beet breeding programs is of great importance. This article discusses various approaches to the production of doubled beet haploids and describes crucial achievements, major problems, and the ways to solve them. Methods for producing doubled haploids of table beet has not been studied profoundly enough, so they require additional in-depth research aimed at improving their efficiency and reproducibility.

Published: January 2024

The genetic base of compactness has been an area of active research in recent years, with several genes and mutations identified to be associated with the appearance of dwarf phenotypes. Understanding the functions of these genes and the underlying mechanisms of dwarfism in cucurbit crops is essential for developing new cultivars with improved yield and fruit quality. This study presents current data on genes and mutations associated with the evolvement of compact phenotypes in cucurbit crops. The review includes examples of mutant compact phenotypes and their associated genes in representatives of the Cucurbitaceae family, such as Cucurbita maxima Duch., Cucurbita pepo L., Cucurbita moschata Duch., Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai, and Cucumis melo L. The review provides up-to-date information on the genetic and molecular bases of compact phenotype formation, as well as molecular markers for detecting known genes associated with reduced plant size.

Authors: Gavrilova V. A. , Makarova L. G. , Stupnikova T. G. , Alpatieva N. V. , Kusnetsova E. B. , Anisimova I. N.
Published: January 2024

Background. In recent years, an increase has been observed in the share of sunflower seeds in the confectionery and food industries. There are 30 cultivars and only 3 hybrids for confectionery use among 839 zoned sunflower cultivars and hybrids listed in the State Register for Selection Achievements Admitted for Usage in 2023. Thus, the development of source material for breeding large-seeded cultivars and hybrids remains a relevant task.

Materials and methods. The studied material included 90 accessions selected for their large seed size from VIR’s sunflower collection. The following characters were assessed: 1000 seed weight, days from sprouting to maturation, plant height, head diameter, cypsela color and size, and resistance to downy mildew. DNA markers were used to identify accessions with the Rf1 gene and CMS.

Results. Accessions k-2818 (Primorsky Territory), k-3633, k-3748, k-3782 (China), and k-3578 (Ukraine) were the best in 1000 seed weight. Russian cvs. ‘Alekseyevsky Krupnoplodny 2’ (k-3552), ‘Gyar-Gyar’ (k-1589), ‘SPK’ (k-3426), and ‘Lakomka’ (k-3526) confirmed their large seed size. The sterile type of cytoplasm was identified in 12 accessions. Fourteen accessions with fertile cytoplasm had diagnostic markers of the nuclear Rf1 gene.

Conclusion. The large-seeded cultivars developed at VNIIMK, ‘SPK’, ‘Lakomka’, and k-3782 from China were the best not only in their large seed size but also in downy mildew resistance. As a result of long-term studies, a trait-specific collection was established for the large seed size trait. It included 90 accessions that can be used in the development of confectionery cultivars. Large-seeded sunflower accessions carrying the Rf1 gene were identified. Some of them became the ancestors of donor lines for both pollen fertility restoration genes and large seed size.

Abstract. The massive data growth, the variety of its sources and analysis tools necessitates review and critical analysis of data types to analyze business environments and make decisions. These tasks are relevant for public authorities regulating the economy, groups engaged in business consulting, and analytical centers specializing in strategic analysis, economic security, and market and competitor studies. The article aims to summarize and systematize modern types and sources of data in the study of the business environment in Ukraine, as well as their formats in the context of transformation into analysis platforms and insights for organizational decision-making. The study used a systemic-structural approach, as well as general scientific research methods – analysis, synthesis, and comparison. The authors propose a classification of data types, systematize their sources and format, and summarize data and analytics platforms that can be used to analyse and regulate the business environment in Ukraine. The authors conclude that modern business environment analytics are characterized by rapid changes in volume and sources of data, as well as analytical tools. Indicators of such changes are 1) an increase in open data, primarily due to availability of public information in the Open Data format 2) diversification of data formats, allowing further processing and analysis, in particular Data Mining, and 3) the growth of opportunities for business entities to independently make analytics based on public registers and other sources of open data. Accurate definition and use of various types of data, taking into account their sources, access modes and formats, is a key determinant of the quality of economic analytics in the process of decision-making, including in the field of government regulation of the economy. Keywords: business environment, open data, information, data and analysis platform, statistical information.
The Impact of Bad Urban Design on the City Environment
Authors: Majid Hasan Haider
Published: January 2024

Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest in environmental issues realizing that humanity depends on the environment and that this environment has been constantly exposed to processes that could threaten the future of humanity. Cities emerged as the most important cause of pollution because they are the place where most industrial goods are produced and consumed. It was also found that a large percentage of the problems of environmental pollution was the result of the failure of the planning authorities in the implementation of the master plan originally laid out to control and control the city. We do not see a reaction from the residents of the region, despite the obvious problems in the study area, which include social and economic problems as well as environmental problems. On the contrary, many people want industrial activities to improve Value of their properties.

Purpose. Determination of the effectiveness of using fats of various origins in compound feed for broiler chickens. Materials and Мethods. A scientific and economic experiment was carried out on 4 groups of broiler chickens of the Cobb-500 cross at the Verkhnevolzhskaya Poultry Farm (Russia, Tver region). The poultry-rearing period was 37 days. Broilers in the control group received the main diet according to the growing phases; for chickens in the experimental groups, part of the sunflower oil in the diet was replaced with animal feed fat "Olisa": in group 2 – 0.5% in CCF Rost, 1.0% in Finish-1 and Finish- 2; in group 3 – 1.0% in CCF Rost, 1.5% in Finish-1 and Finish-2; in group 4 – 1.5% in CCF Rost, 2.0% in Finish-1 and Finish-2. The dynamics of live weight were recorded by weekly control weighing of broiler chickens. The safety of the poultry population was determined by counting dead birds. The absolute and average daily gain in live weight, the cost of feed per 1 kg of gain in live weight, the productivity index and other indicators were also determined during the growing process. Results. The introduction of 1.5% animal feed fat “Olisa” into the compound feed instead of part of the sunflower oil in CCF Rost and 2.0% in Finish-1 and Finish-2 contributed to an increase in both the average daily and absolute gain in live weight. The latter indicator was higher in broiler chickens of the fourth experimental group by 8.6% compared to the control group. Poultry from the same group had a higher meat yield per 1 m2 of floor area. Their productivity index was higher than in the control group by 6.6%. At the same time, the safety of poultry population in all groups participating in the experiment was high. Conclusion. Replacing part of the sunflower oil in feed with animal fat in the optimal dosage contributes to obtain high live weight, daily gain, safety of broiler chickens and productivity index.

Background: Depression and fatigue are commonly observed sequelae following viral diseases such as COVID-19. Identifying symptom constellations that differentially classify post-COVID depression and fatigue may be helpful to individualize treatment strategies. Here, we investigated whether self-reported post-COVID depression and post-COVID fatigue are associated with the same or different symptom constellations. Methods. To address this question, we used data from COVIDOM, a population-based cohort study conducted as part of the NAPKON-POP platform. Data was collected in three different German regions (Kiel, Berlin, Würzburg). We analyzed data from more than 2000 individuals at least six months past a PCR-confirmed COVID-19 disease, using elastic net regression and cluster analysis. The regression model was developed in the Kiel data set, and externally validated using data sets from Berlin and Würzburg. Results. Our results revealed that post-COVID depression and fatigue are associated with overlapping symptom constellations consisting of difficulties with daily activities, perceived health-related quality of life, chronic exhaustion, unrestful sleep, and impaired concentration. Confirming the overlap in symptom constellations, a follow-up cluster analysis could categorize individuals as scoring high or low on depression and fatigue but could not differentiate between both dimensions. Limitations. The data presented are cross-sectional, consisting primarily of self-reported questionnaire or medical records rather than biometrically collected data.Conclusions. In summary, our results suggest a strong link between post-COVID depression and fatigue and thus highlighting the need for integrative treatment approaches.
An Assessment of Annual Load Estimation Methods in Small Watersheds for Cross Site Comparisons

Streams and rivers export dissolved materials and eroded sediments from the watersheds they drain. Much can be learned about rivers and their watersheds by measuring the magnitude, timing and form of these exports. Such watershed load datasets are used to gain fundamental understanding of watershed ecosystems as well as to assess water quality and the efficacy of management approaches to sustain both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem health. Despite the widespread use of watershed load estimates, comparisons at macroscales (i.e. across many sites) are currently complicated by differences in underlying data quality and estimation methods between sites, periods, and solutes. Using high-frequency sensor data from the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and the Plynlimon Research Catchments, we generated time series of increasingly coarse sampling frequencies, and tested the sensitivity of various load estimation methods. We further tested the accuracy of common methods using synthetic time series, spanning a range of flow regimes and concentration-discharge (C:Q) relationships. Lastly, we applied each estimation method to the MacroSheds dataset (macrosheds.org), generating a publicly available dataset of 16,489 site-years of data across 93 sites and 112 solutes. Results from both the simulated data coarsening and synthetic time series experiments indicate that load estimates with high sampling frequency (daily or better) and an informative concentration-discharge relationship are well suited for macroscale science efforts (errors within ~10%). Estimates based on coarse (biweekly or coarser) underlying data and incompletely described and/or complex C:Q relationships showed large enough error (>50%) to suggest they would be misleading if included in macroscale efforts. Our results suggest that scientists interested in comparing load estimates should first consider (1) sensitivity of their analysis to changes in load magnitudes, (2) the underlying data frequency used to generate estimates, (3) the C:Q relationship of their solute of interest, and (4) their confidence in the completeness of that C:Q relationship over the period of study.
A Novel Methodology for Enhancing Flood Risk Communication: The Nines of Safety
Authors: Islam S M Samiul , Demir Ibrahim
Published: January 2024

Flood risk communication helps people plan for and recover from disasters, especially in flood-prone areas. The Nines of Safety (NoS) concept described in this study provides a new perspective for flood risk communication and assessment. The NoS method can help analyze flood risk comprehensively and support decision-makers and the public understand their vulnerability under various conditions. This novel approach considers physical parameters, socioeconomic factors, and demographics to assess flood risk. The analysis demonstrates that water characteristics are crucial to determining safety. The socioeconomic parameters deal with how income, age, and population density affect flooding risk. The analysis shows how these factors affect the Nines of Safety scale. These variations highlight the importance of a community-specific risk communication strategy. Explaining the complexity of flood risk assessment with this novel method makes it more accessible. Given its quantitative and qualitative effects, this strategy could empower communities to make sensible decisions and adapt to changing flood scenarios. The Nines of Safety concept can help communities better understand their risks. Information on vulnerable individuals and land use can help understand how different factors affect flood risk profiles. This study discusses how the NoS technique can transform flood risk perceptions and strengthen communities. By integrating this new strategy into risk management, stakeholders may tailor their responses to each community, making them more robust to flooding.

Floods, droughts, and rainfall-induced landslides are hydro-geomorphic hazards that affect millions of people every year. Anticipation, mitigation, and adaptation to these hazards is increasingly outpaced by their changing magnitude and frequency due to climate change. A key question for society is whether the research we pursue has the potential to address knowledge gaps and to reduce potential future hazard impacts where they will be the most severe. We use natural language processing, based on a new climate hazard taxonomy, to review, identify, and geo-locate out of 100 million abstracts those that deal with hydro-hazards. We find that the spatial distribution of study areas is mostly defined by human activity, national wealth, data availability, and population distribution. Hydro-hazards, which impact large numbers of people, increase research activity, but with a strong disparity between low- and high-income countries. We find that a 100 times higher impact is needed before low-income countries reach comparable research activity to high-income countries. This "Wealth over Woe" bias needs to be addressed by increasing research on hydro-hazards in highly impacted and under-researched regions, or in those sufficiently socio-hydrologically similar. We urgently need to reduce knowledge base biases to mitigate and adapt to changing hydro-hazards if we want to achieve a sustainable and equitable future for all global citizens.
