Abstract. To mark the 20th anniversary of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS), an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated
to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies
and original research on natural hazards and their consequences, we
highlight 11 key publications covering major subject areas of NHESS that
stood out within the past 20 years. The papers cover all the topics contemplated in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Division on Natural Hazards including dissemination, education, outreach and teaching. The selected articles thus represent excellent scientific contributions in the major areas of natural hazards and risks and helped NHESS to become an exceptionally strong journal representing interdisciplinary areas of natural hazards and risks. At its 20th anniversary, we are proud that NHESS is not only used by scientists to disseminate research results and novel ideas but also by practitioners and decision-makers to present effective solutions and strategies for sustainable disaster risk reduction.
Technical note: Turbulence measurements from a light autonomous underwater vehicle
Authors: Kolås Eivind H. , Mo-Bjørkelund Tore , Fer Ilker
Published: March 2022

Abstract. A self-contained turbulence instrument from Rockland Scientific was installed on a light autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from OceanScan Marine Systems and Technology Lda. We report on the data quality and discuss limitations of dissipation estimated from two shear probes during a deployment in the Barents Sea in February 2021. The AUV mission lasted for 5 h, operating at a typical horizontal speed of 1.1 m s−1. The AUV was programmed to find and cross the maximum along-path thermal gradient at 10, 20 and 30 m depths along 4 km transects. Although the AUV vibrations contaminate the shear probe records, the noise is mitigated by removing vibration-induced components from shear spectra using the accelerometer signal measured in multiple directions. Dissipation rate estimates in the observed transects varied in the range 1×10-8 and 6×10-6 W kg−1, with the values from the two orthogonal probes typically in agreement to within a factor of 2. Dissipation estimates from the AUV show good agreement with nearby vertical microstructure profiles obtained from the ship during the transects, indicating that the turbulence measurements from the AUV are reliable for this relatively turbulent environment. However, the lowest reliable dissipation rates are limited to 5×10-8 W kg−1, making this setup unfit for use in quiescent environments.
Towards Large-Scale Daily Snow Density Mapping with Spatiotemporally Aware Model and Multi-Source Data
Authors: Wang Huadong , Zhang Xueliang , Xiao Pengfeng , Che Tao , Zheng Zhaojun , Dai Liyun , Luan Wenbo
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Snow density plays a critical role in estimating water resources and predicting natural disasters such as floods, avalanches, and snowstorms. However, gridded products for snow density are lacking for understanding its spatiotemporal patterns. In this study, considering the multiple influencing variables and the strong spatiotemporal heterogeneity of snow density, the geographically and temporally weighted neural network (GTWNN) model is constructed for estimating daily snow density in China from 2013 to 2020, with the support of satellite, ground, and reanalysis data. The R2 and RMSE achieve 0.515 and 0.043 g/cm3, respectively. The constructed GTWNN model is able to improve the estimation of snow density by capturing the weak and nonlinear relationship between snow density and the meteorological, snow, topographic, and vegetation variables. The leaf area index of high vegetation, snow depth, and topographic variables make a relatively great contribution for estimating snow density among the 17 influencing variables. The importance of addressing the spatiotemporal heterogeneity for snow density estimation is further demonstrated by comparing the GTWNN model with other models. The performance of the GTWNN model is closely related to the state and amount of snow, in which more stable and plentiful snow would result in higher snow density estimation accuracy. With the benefit of the daily snow density map, we obtain knowledge of the spatiotemporal pattern and heterogeneity of snow density in different snow periods and snow cover regions in China. The proposed GTWNN model holds the potential for large-scale daily snow density mapping, which will be beneficial for snow parameter estimation and water resource management.

The Essential Oil from the Spices and Herbs Have Antimicrobial Activity Against Milk Spoilage Bacteria
Authors: A. Ahmed , R.H. Mdegela
Published: March 2022

Spices and herbs are usually added to milk to impart a particular flavour and medicinal purposes. Moreover, it is reported that additional spices and herbs extend the shelf life of milk. Contemporary use of essential oils from spices and herbs show promising results against various food spoilage microorganisms. Therefore, the essential oils from the spices and herbs from Zanzibar were used to assess antimicrobial activity against milk spoilage bacteria. The essential oils were extracted using steam distillation by a Clevenger apparatus. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by the microdilution method. All the extracts from cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and lemongrass showed antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus thermophillus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Escherichia coli. The essential oils exhibited higher antimicrobial activity than gentamycin. The MICs ranged between 0.004 and 0.125 µg/µl. Therefore, spices and herbs added to milk have the potential to inhibit the growth of milk spoilage bacteria.
Genre Analysis of Abstracts of Research Articles Published in Biostatistics
Authors: E.M. Bonsu , J.B.A. Afful
Published: March 2022

Genre studies have contributed to revealing the communicative purposes and structural properties particular to specific discourse communities. Research articles (RA) have been the focus of most genre studies for the past four decades. RA abstract is important because it summarizes the work, persuades readers, and ‘sells’ the article locally and internationally. An emerging academic discipline that has been under studied is Biostatistics. The study aimed at exploring the move structure and lexico-grammatical features of RA abstracts published in Biostatistics. Forty (40) RA abstracts were extracted from four different Biostatistics journals. Hyland’s five-move structure model was adopted to guide the analysis. Using Hüttner’s classification model, the most frequent move was the Product, with a 100% occurrence. While the Introduction move was core, the Purpose, Method, Product and Conclusion moves were obligatory. It was revealed that the abstracts follow the completely linear five-move structure, i.e., M1>M2>M3>M4>M5. While the study revealed that the total number of words in an abstract is 244, the Product move had the highest textual space in the abstract. With the linguistic realisation of the moves, the past verb tense was preferred, occurring frequently in the Method move. The Introduction and Conclusion moves recorded frequent use of modal verbs. Personal pronouns were characteristic of the Method move. These linguistic realisations served to differentiate one move from the others. While the study contributes to research on RA abstracts generally, it guides the practice of abstract designing in Biostatistics. Finally, it offers insights for further research.
Developing a community-based local food system in Will County, Illinois: insights from stakeholders' viewpoints
Authors: Ben-Othmen Marie , Kavouras Jerry
Published: March 2022

The interest in and enthusiasm for shifting food systems to community-based and local trajectories have increased exponentially over the past decade. Part of the appeal of community-based, local food systems is their potential to secure access to heal­thy food for local communities, expand sustainable farming practices, promote local food economies, and advance environmental and food justice. Inter­actions and collaborations within the spectrum of the food system’s stakeholders—from farmers to local officials and organizations to local businesses and residents—are the cornerstone for effective food systems tailored to their community’s needs. An increasing number of food system studies have applied stakeholder assessment approaches to map out complex situations among multiple stakeholder groups with different values and viewpoints regard­ing food system change. However, despite being an essential and influential political unit to target, counties have received very little attention in food system studies, as researchers and practitioners often focus on the federal and state levels of inter­vention to design food policies. This study examined the food system in Will County, Illinois, by applying the advocacy coalition framework and using a qualitative, semi-structured survey to engage a diverse set of stakeholders. The answers to the survey questions offered insights into three overlapping and divergent Will County stakeholder viewpoints (Pragmatic, Environmental and Food Justice Advocate, and Visionary), with the intent of informing and enacting food system transformation at the county level. The discussion within this paper focuses on coalition-building and collaboration between formal and informal groups to empower local communities to develop a dis­tinctive food system identity that promotes com­munity support, collaborative networks, and food justice at the county level.
Method to Improve Administered Cells Via Intramuscular Route to Augment Efficacy of Regenerative Cell Therapy in The Field of Peripheral Artery Disease
Authors: Miyake Keisuke , Miyagawa Shigeru , Sawa Yoshiki
Published: March 2022

In the field of peripheral artery disease (PAD), regenerative cell therapy has been expected to be a new alternative therapy especially for severely diseased patients. Although various preclinical studies showed promising results, those therapies failed to show sufficient efficacy for actual PAD patients and current guideline do not recommend regenerative therapy for PAD. The disappointing result may be caused by low retention rate of administered substance. Recently we published an article regarding novel method to augment the effect of cell therapy. In this review article, we would like to focus on the importance of improvement in cell survival and prerequisite factors to develop effective regenerative therapy for PAD patients.

Authors: HAMURCU Cagri
Published: March 2022

The main purpose of this study is to reveal whether seasonal/time-oriented/calendar anomalies affect the price and transaction volume of Bitcoin. Day of the week and month of the year anomalies are examined in this context. The data for the years 2013-2021 are handled in 3 different sampling periods, consisting of the whole of this time period and each of its divided parts. The existence of these anomalies is analyzed with EGARCH models created separately. The most important conclusion reached in this study is that the analyzed anomalies differ according to the sampling periods. The common findings reached as a result of the analyzes for all three time intervals are as follows: It has been determined that Monday has positive effects in terms of both Bitcoin return and transaction volume, while Saturday has negative effects only regarding transaction volume. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays create volatility-increasing effects concerning returns, Friday, Saturday and Sunday reduce volatility. In terms of trading volume, Monday and Tuesday reduce volatility, while Thursday and Friday increase volatility. Whereas March has a positive effect on return volatility, it has a negative effect on trading volume volatility, and September has only a negative effect on return volatility.

Sobre el azar, el reflejo y la ambición: picardías electorales como respuesta a los cambios constitucionales en un escenario subnacional
Authors: Valenzuela Sergio David , Medina Marcos Walter
Published: March 2022

En el artículo se analizan diferentes formas de candidaturas identificadas en las elecciones municipales de la Provincia del Chaco en 1995, que surgieron como respuestas a los cambios en los sistemas electorales. Se identificó la utilización de dos estrategias electorales singulares. En una los candidatos se presentan como cabeza para el ejecutivo y a la vez como candidatos a un cargo legislativo; y en la otra, encabezan varias listas partidarias para el ejecutivo con distinta composición para el legislativo. De los resultados se deduce que estas estrategias solo pueden ser utilizadas en localidades pequeñas o en partidos con bajo caudal de afiliados.
Participación juvenil en las elecciones internas del Partido Nacionalista Peruano
Authors: Ortiz Cáceres Danny
Published: March 2022

El propósito de la investigación fue aproximarse a los factores que impulsaron a los afiliados del Partido Nacionalista Peruano a participar como candidatos a las secretarías juveniles distritales de Lima Metropolitana en el 2014. En vista de la poca atención que recibieron los procesos electorales internos de los partidos políticos peruanos, se optó por un enfoque cualitativo. Para abordar el comportamiento a nivel individual se entrevistó a ocho candidatos considerando la Teoría de la Acción Razonada. La limitación de la muestra quedó en parte compensada por los dos años que duró la etnografía. La investigación identificó 23 factores: 21 creencias (cinco de tipo comportamental; seis, normativos y diez, de control), la cultura organizacional del partido y su reglamento electoral. Se convino en llamar a esta cultura como autocrítica pragmática, definida como aquella que cuestiona la distribución del poder en la organización con el objetivo, sobre todo, de obtener incentivos selectivos por encima de los teleológicos.
¿Legitimidad versus eficacia? Autoridades y gobiernos locales en escenarios de conflictividad minera en Arequipa y Cajamarca
Authors: Meléndez Guerrero Luis Alberto
Published: March 2022

El presente trabajo de carácter exploratorio, con base en dos casos antagónicos (Deán Valdivia y Celendín), argumenta que el tipo de vínculos preexistentes entre las redes movilizadas y las autoridades municipales establece en el tiempo una lógica de incentivos y sanciones que condiciona la estabilidad o variabilidad de las posiciones de los alcaldes (pro-minero o anti-minero) durante el desarrollo de los conflictos extractivos. A su vez, las posiciones que las autoridades presentan en el conflicto repercuten de manera diferenciada en su legitimidad y en la eficacia de sus gestiones municipales. Mientras que la autoridad pro-minera de Celendín mejoró con el conflicto la eficacia de su gestión y desgastó su legitimidad como político (más eficacia con menos legitimidad); la autoridad anti-minera de Deán Valdivia aumentó su reconocimiento ciudadano, pero a costa de su capacidad para proveer servicios públicos a la ciudadanía (más legitimidad con menos eficacia).

Race and Affect in Early Modern English Literature
Authors: Mejia LaPerle Carol
Published: March 2022

Race and Affect in Early Modern English Literature puts the fields of critical race studies and affect theory into dialogue. Doing so opens a new set of questions: What are the emotional experiences of racial formation and racist ideologies? How do feelings—through the physical senses, emotional passions, or sexual encounters—come to signify race? What is the affective register of anti-blackness that pervades canonical literature? How can these visceral forms of racism be resisted in discourse and in practice? By investigating how race feels, this book offers new ways of reading and interpreting literary traditions, religious differences, gendered experiences, class hierarchies, sexuality, and social identities. So far scholars have shaped the discussion of race in the early modern period by focusing on topics such as genealogy, language, economics, religion, skin color, and ethnicity. This book, however, offers something new: it considers racializing processes as visceral, affective experiences.

Published: March 2022

Kan gütme saiki ile gerçekleştirilen kasten öldürme eylemleri, ülkemizin farklı coğrafyalarında yıllardır süregelen toplumsal bir olgu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ceza hukuku açısından incelenmesinin yanında kapsamlı sosyolojik ve psikolojik değerlendirmelere tabi tutularak bu eylemlerin en aza indirilmesi için çalışılması önem arz etmektedir. Kan gütme saiki ile kasten öldürme suçu başlıklı çalışmamızda öncelikle kan gütme saiki kavramı incelenmiş ve mülga 765 sayılı Türk Ceza Kanunu dönemine ilişkin değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur. Akabinde 5237 sayılı Türk Ceza Kanunu kapsamında korunmak istenen hukuki yarar, suçun maddi unsurları ve manevi unsur yönünden açıklamalar getirilmiştir. Suçun özel görünüş biçimleri olan teşebbüs, iştirak ve içtima hükümlerinin uygulanması da ayrı başlık altında ele alınmıştır. Devamında kasten öldürme suçunun diğer bir nitelikli hali olan tasarlama ile kan gütme saiki arasında ilişki açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Cezayı azaltıcı bir neden olan haksız tahrik hükümlerinin kan gütme saiki ile gerçekleştirilen öldürme eylemlerinde uygulanıp uygulanamayacağı da bir diğer başlıkta tartışılmıştır. Kanunda konumuz olan suça ilişkin yaptırım olarak ağırlaştırılmış müebbet hapis cezasının öngörüldüğü aktarıldıktan sonra 3236 sayılı kanun anayasal ve toplumsal bağlamda incelenerek çalışma nihayete erdirilmiştir.

21.07.2020 tarihinde Resmî Gazete’de yayınlanan “Define Arama Yönetmeliğinde Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Yönetmelik” ile Define Arama Yönetmeliğinde önemli değişiklikler yapılmıştır. Bu değişiklikler ile mevcut bazı hükümler değiştirilmiş ve yeni bazı hükümler eklenmiştir. Kanun koyucuyu bu değişikliği yapmaya iten olay, kanaatimizce 2019 yılında dipsiz gölde izinli şekilde yapılan define kazısıdır. Halk tarafından Dipsiz göl olarak adlandırılan göl Gümüşhane’de merkeze bağlı Dumanlı köyünün sınırları içinde bulunmaktadır. Söz konusu bu Göl’ün altında “define” olduğunu düşünen iki vatandaş izinli bir şekilde define aramak istemişler ve bu amaçla yetkili makamlara başvuruda bulunmuşlardır. Yetkili makam tarafından bu kişilere define arama ruhsatnamesi verilmiş ve yine yetkili makamlar tarafından görevlendirilen kişilerin gözetiminde, izin alan vatandaşlar define arama işlemini gerçekleştirmiştir. Gerekli izinleri alan kişiler tarafından gölün altında define aranması sırasında göl suyu tahliye edilmiş, eski hâline getirilmeye çalışılsa da başarılı olunamamıştır. Bu çalışmada; dipsiz gölde yapılan izinli define kazısı neticesinde Define Arama Yönetmeliğinde yapılan değişiklikler ele alınacak ve konuya ilişkin değerlendirmelerde bulunulacaktır.

The survey carried out from October 1996 to May 1997 covered over 80 beaches, some of which were visited twice in different climatic conditions. Several factors affecting the biodiversity of life were examined from seasonal changes in the oceanic conditions to geological features of rocky and sandy beaches. The abundance as well as variety of life forms are recorded in a tabular form for beaches along the coastline of Konkan from Mumbai to Goa.
Idendification of Biodiversity "Hot Spots"
Authors: Gole Prakash
Published: March 2022

This article elucidates the different parameters used in the study of beaches along the Konkan coast to identify biodiversity hotspots. The author has identified these parameters after an extensive study and analysis of not only the flora and fauna but also the extent and severity of human activity which often has a detrimental impact on biodiversity.

Beaches have been ranked on the basis of dune vegetation, protective vegetation, algal cover, Eagle & Turtle nesting and marine animals.

The main role of the principal as an educational leader is to create a teaching and learning situation so that teachers can teach, and students can learn well. In carrying out the role of the principal, the headmaster has a dual responsibility, namely carrying out school administration to create a good teaching and learning situation and carrying out supervision so that teachers increase in carrying out teaching tasks and in guiding the growth of students. Principals who can carry out their functions as educators, managers, administrators, supervisors, leaders, innovators, and motivators can be said to have good leadership abilities. Teachers are one of the factors that affect the quality of education. To improve teacher competence, it is necessary to conduct a testing system for teacher competence. In line with the regional autonomy policy, several regions have conducted teacher competency tests, they do so mainly to determine the ability of teachers in their area, to increase their ranks and positions, as well as to appoint school principals and deputy principals.

Geliştirilen bu ölçek beden eğitimi ve spor öğretmenlerinin iletişim becerilerini ölçebilecek ve öğretmenlerin iletişim becerileri ile ilgili yapılacak çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
Household Solar Analysis for Policymakers: Evidence from U.S. Data
Authors: Best Rohan , Esplin Ryan
Published: March 2022

There is a vast literature on household solar-panel uptake but there are mixed results for many explanatory variables such as income, education, age, and race. This creates a major challenge for policymakers, who devise solar-panel policies that relate to variables such as income. This study uses logit, probit, and linear probability models, along with the matching method of entropy balancing. We use household data from the 2019 American Housing Survey. Results using entropy balancing suggest that high housing values and older respondent age are key factors promoting solar-panel uptake. Income has some positive impacts, although detailed analysis tends to show insignificance. Education and race variables have insignificant coefficients when controlling for key variables. This paper could provide a basis for future policy approaches, such as means testing based on asset thresholds rather than income thresholds.
Não Dá para Ir Indefinidamente Bem em um País que Vai Mal

No início dos anos 2000, quando estava no Banco Real cunhei uma frase que me acompanha há muitos anos: “Não dá para ir indefinidamente bem em um país que vai mal”. Eu sempre soube, ainda que intuitivamente, que blindar carros e subir muros nunca seria a solução. Naquela época estávamos construindo o projeto de sustentabilidade pelo qual o banco ficou conhecido.

A flood is a costly natural disaster that imposes a considerable risk to many urban areas worldwide. Predicting the flood can help to alleviate the damage that it causes. In recent years, inspired by the success of Machine Learning (ML) in other fields, several papers have proposed ML-based algorithms for short-term and long-term flood prediction. In this study, we aim to give an overview of ongoing research in this area. We present several case studies from recent papers that employed machine learning for flood forecasting. Results of these studies have shown that ML models are powerful tools in flood prediction. We also briefly reviewed some of the commonly used machine learning models. However, the technical description of these methods is beyond the scope of this study and is not discussed in detail. Although ML models have shown promising results in flood forecasting, they do suffer from important limitations, and there is still room for their improvement. In this paper, we attempted to critically assess the shortcomings of existing algorithms and offer several suggestions for the future direction of this research field.

Authors: Chavda Sagar M , Goyani Mahesh M
Published: March 2022

The objective of the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system is to retrieve the visually identical images from the database efficiently and effectively. It is a broad research realm with the availability of numerous applications. Performance dependency of CBIR focuses on the extraction, reduction, and selection of the features along with the practice of classification technique. In this work, we have proposed the hybrid approach of two different feature descriptors namely, Global Color Histogram and Multi-Scale Local Binary Pattern (MS-LBP). Furthermore, PCA is used for dimension reduction and LDA for the selection of features. The proposed method is evaluated concerning various benchmark datasets namely Corel-1k, Corel-5k, Corel-10k, and Ghim-10k, and results are compared based on precision and recall values at different thresholds. Euclidean distance and City Block distance are used for classification purposes. The performance study of the proposed work displays it as outperformer than the identified literature methods.
