Claims settlement is critical to insurance firms as it serves as a tool for
compensation to policyholders who experience sudden losses which brings relief to the
receiver and promotes competitive advantage of the firm if timely and efficiently
managed. Despite the importance of the claims management practices, some insurance firms
pay little or no attention to this process leading to poor administration and loss of
clients’ confidence. This study examined the effect of claims management practices on
competitive advantage of listed insurance companies in Nigeria. Survey research design
was adopted. The target population of the study are the full-time top management
employees of the listed insurance companies in Nigeria with a total population of 2183.
A sample size of 776 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970). Proportionate
stratified sampling technique was adopted. A validated questionnaire was used to collect
data. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the constructs ranged from 0.772 to
0.955. The response rate was 86.5%. Data were statistically analysed using descriptive
and inferential statistics. The results revealed that claims management practices have
significant effect on competitive advantage of the selected insurance companies in Lagos
State Nigeria (Adj.R2 = 0.808; F (5, 655) = 554.770, p < 0.05). The study concluded
that Claims management practices dimensions have significant effect on firm
profitability of listed insurance companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. It is recommended
that the management of insurance companies in Nigeria need to embrace more innovative
tools. They should particularly maintain the control processes to convince clients to
continue their premium payments with guarantee returns on investment and interest which
bring significant cost advantage and competitiveness.

Fifteen (15) years after displacement, Bakassi returnees in Akwa Ibom State
communities are yet to be economically integrated. Having lost their identity, property
and sense of livelihood, soft loans become necessary means of poverty alleviation.
Studies have shown that returnees are vulnerable however they are responsible and
capable of being economically viable. The objectives of the study include invetigation
on the knowlegde, perception and problems that plague utilization of soft loans by
Bakassi returness. In examining this, 286 respondents were randomly selected from six
out of nine IDPs Camps. 26 IDIs and 29 KIIs were conducted for indepth insight. Findings
have shown that Bakassi returnees knowledge of softloan is high however, accessibility
is low and utilization poor. It is concluded from the study that IDBPs possess relevant
attributes that could make it possible for them to access loans but have been deterred
by several prohibitive factors including need for guarantor, recognition as a community
member and fear of absconding after receiving loan. The study recommends that systematic
and periodic awareness campaign through inspiring, motivating and re-awakening seminars
should be organized in IDPs Camps to instigate and sustain interest in accessing and
utilization of soft loans for improved livelihood.

ŞEHİR COĞRAFYASI AÇISINDAN BİR ARAŞTIRMA: İSTANBUL İKİTELLİ’DE YERLEŞMENİN KURULUŞU, GELİŞİMİ VE DÖNÜŞÜMÜ
Authors: Akyüz Hatice , Ceylan Mehmet Akif
Published: October 2023

Makalenin amacı, İkitelli’de yerleşmenin kuruluş, gelişim ve dönüşüm süreçlerini bir bütün halinde incelemektir. Makale hazırlanırken konu ve çalışma alanı ile ilgili nispeten kapsamlı literatür ve saha çalışması yapılmıştır. Çevre, Şehircilik ve İklim Değişikliği Bakanlığı, İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi, Başakşehir Belediyesi ve Küçükçekmece Belediyesi’nden raporlar temin edilmiştir. Akabinde dijital ortamda Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri incelenmiş ve İkitelli ile ilgili eski belgeler derlenmiştir. Ayrıca uydu görüntüleri, hava fotoğrafları ve haritalardan da faydalanılmıştır. Böylece eldeki veriler doğrultusunda ve mekânsal bakış açısıyla yerleşmenin kuruluşu ve süreç içinde yatay gelişimi ortaya konmuştur. İkitelli, tarihi Osmanlı dönemi öncesine uzanan nispeten eski bir yerleşmedir. Osmanlı ve Cumhuriyetin ilk döneminde bir kır yerleşmesi olan İkitelli, 1970’lere kadar Bulgaristan, Yunanistan, Yugoslavya ve Kazakistan gibi ülkelerden gelen dış göçler; bu tarihten sonra ise Karadeniz, Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu’dan gelen iç göçler ile hızlı bir şekilde büyümüştür. Özellikle 1990’lı yıllardan sonra çevresinde sanayi ve ticaret merkezlerinin kurulmasıyla aldığı göç miktarı artmış ve bunun sonucunda zamanla bazı altyapı sorunları yaşamaya başlamıştır. Mevcut yapılar hem fiziki açıdan hem de işlev açısından ömrünü tamamlamıştır. Ayrıca artan nüfusun ihtiyacını karşılayacak yeni konut alanlarına ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Bu gibi nedenlerden ötürü İkitelli’de muhtelif alanlarda şehirsel dönüşüm çalışmaları yapılmış ve hala yapılmaktadır. Tamamlanmış çalışmalar Ayazma ve Tepeüstü mevkilerinde iken devam eden çalışma Köyiçi mevkiinde yer almaktadır. Boş arazilerin varlığı ve ömrünü tamamlamış, işlevini yitirmiş yapıların mevcudiyeti gibi nedenlerle İkitelli’nin şehirleşme anlamında uzun bir süre daha dikkatleri üzerine çekeceği düşünülmektedir.
Modern Batı Düşüncesi Bağlamında Ş. Teoman Duralı’nın İnsan Tasavvuru Anlayışına Eleştirel Bir Bakış
Authors: ÇAYLI Zafer , TÜLÜCE Hüseyin Adem
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada çağdaş Türk düşünürlerinden Ş. Teoman Duralı’nın Descartes sonrası Batı düşüncesindeki bilimsel gelişmelerin din ve ahlâk anlayışında meydana getirdiği değişimlerin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan insan tasavvuru eleştirisi kritik edilecektir. Batı’daki bilimsel gelişmeler düşünürlerin dine bakış açısını değiştirdiği gibi felsefî anlamda insana yüklenen anlamın da değişimine zemin hazırlamıştır. Batı düşüncesindeki bilim, felsefe ve ahlâk ilişkisi zemininde oluşan insan algısı, XVII. yüzyıl sonrasında Batı coğrafyasında gelişen emperyalizm ve kapitalizm ideolojisinin etkisiyle XIX. yüzyıldan itibaren İslam coğrafyasında düşünce ve yaşam şekline etkide bulunmuş; böylece olumlu veya olumsuz birçok değişimlerin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bu değişimlerden hareketle Duralı, Aristoteles (MÖ 384-322)’ten itibaren “canlı” üzerine inşa edilen bilimsel düşüncenin yerine Descartes (1596-1650) sonrası “canlı olmayan” varlıklar üzerine kurulan bilim anlayışının hakim olmasının getirdiği problemlerden bahsetmekte; diğer bilimlerle birlikte biyolojideki gelişmelerle entegrasyon içerisinde insan “ben”inin direnç kaynaklarının yıkıma uğramasını ve ahlâk problemini eleştirmektedir. Bu durum insanın biyolojik bir varlığa indirgenmesine ve böylece manevî yapısının ihmal edilmesi problemine sebep olmuştur. İşte bu problemler karşısında Duralı’nın ortaya koyduğu çözüm önerilerinin temelinde İslam coğrafyası ve düşünce geleneğinin olması ve bu minvalde düşünceler üretmesi önemlidir. Bu durum Duralı’nın kendi coğrafyasının problemlerini oryantalist bir bakış açısıyla değil kendi öz kaynaklarıyla yüzleşerek çözmeye çalışmanın yolunu açmıştır.
Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras Bağlamında Yaşa(ma)yan İnsan Hazinesi Olarak Âşık Veysel
Authors: ARIOĞLU İbrahim Ethem , AYDOĞDU ATASOY Özlem
Published: October 2023

UNESCO (Birleşmiş Milletler Eğitim, Bilim ve Kültür Kurumu) tarafından 2003 yılında kabul edilen ve 2006 yılında da Türkiye tarafından onaylanan "UNESCO Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasın Korunması Sözleşmesi"nin uygulanması hem ulusal hem de uluslararası düzeyde gerçekleştirilmektedir. Sözleşmenin ulusal düzeyde uygulanması “Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras Türkiye Ulusal Envanteri” ile “Yaşayan İnsan Hazineleri Türkiye Ulusal Envanteri” olmak üzere iki ayrı kategoride yürütülmektedir. “Yaşayan İnsan Hazineleri” terimi, somut olmayan kültürel mirasın ögelerini tekrar yaratma ve yorumlama konusunda yüksek düzeyde bilgi ve beceriye sahip bireyleri içerir. Diğer bir ifadeyle bir gelenek taşıyıcısının Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı tarafından “Yaşayan İnsan Hazinesi” olarak tanınabilmesi için belirli şartları yerine getirmesi gerekmektedir. Bu şartlara haiz bireyler uzmanlar komisyonuna "Yaşayan İnsan Hazinesi" olarak önerilirler.

Yaşayan insan hazinesi olarak kaydedilen gelenek temsilcilerinden birisi de âşıklardır. Yüzyıllar öncesinden günümüze ulaşan âşıklık geleneği bu geleneği yaşatan âşıklar ile hayat bulmuştur. Âşık Veysel de aşıklık geleneğinin yirminci yüzyıldaki önemli temsilcilerinden birisidir. Veysel ozanlığının yanı sıra Türk halk müziğindeki özgün tarzı, derin sözleri ve sazıyla da tanınmıştır. Veysel halk müziğine ve halk edebiyatına yaptığı katkılarla Türk kültürünün önemli bir parçası haline gelmiştir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşayan insan hazinesi kavramına ve envanterine eleştirel bir bakış açısı sunarak Âşık Veysel'in -yaşamı sona ermiş olmasına rağmen- bir gelenek üreticisi, taşıyıcısı ve aktarıcısı olarak “Yaşayan İnsan Hazinesi Ulusal Envanteri” kapsamında değerlendirilip değerlendirilemeyeceği sorusuna cevap aramaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda konu hakkında yazılan kaynaklar ele alınarak bıraktığı mirasın korunması ve gelecek nesillere aktarılması yönüyle büyük önem taşıdığı düşünülen Veysel’in “Yaşayan İnsan Hazineleri Türkiye Ulusal Envanteri” göz önüne alınarak “Yaşamakta Olan / Unutulmayan İnsan Hazinesi” olarak kabul edilip edilemeyeceği üzerine detaylı bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.

Companion to the Medieval Theatre
Authors: Vince Ronald W.
Published: October 2023

Vince has provided a useful and, for the most part, usable reference work. His introduction should be required reading for anyone approaching medieval theater.Choice

Scholars increasingly see medieval theatre as a complex and vital performance medium related more closely to political, religious, and social life than to literature as we know it. Reflecting the current interest in performance,A Companion to the Medieval Theatrepresents 250 alphabetically arranged entries offering a panoramic view of European and British theatrical productions between the years 900 and 1550. The volume features 30 essays contributed by an international group of specialists and includes many shorter entries as well as systematic cross-referencing, a chronology, a bibliography, and a full complement of indexes.

Major entries focus on the theatres of the principal linguistic areas (the British Isles, France, Germany, Iberia, Italy, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, and Eastern Europe), and on dramatic forms and genres such as liturgical drama, Passion and saint plays, morality plays, folk drama, and Humanist drama. Other articles examine costume, acting, pageantry, and music, and explore the theatrical dimension of courtly entertainment, the dance, and the tournament. Short entries supply information on over one hundred playwrights, directors, actors and antiquarians whose contributions to the theatre have been documented. This informative guide brings new depth to our appreciation of the richness and color of medieval public entertainments and the symbolism and pageantry that were a part of daily life in the Middle Ages. Designed to appeal to general reader, this volume is also an attractive choice for libraries serving students and scholars of theatre history, English and European literatures, medieval history, cultural history, drama, and performance.
Britain's Medieval Castles
Authors: Hull Lise E.
Published: October 2023

The widespread construction of castles in Britain began as soon as Duke William of Normandy set foot on the shores of southern England in 1066. The castles that were constructed in the ensuing centuries, and whose ruins still scatter the British countryside today, provide us with an enduring record of the needs and ambitions of the times. But the essence of the medieval castle—a structure that is equal parts military, residential, and symbolic—reveals itself not only through the grandeur of such architectural masterpieces as the Tower of London, and the imposing nature of such royal residences as Windsor, but also in the aging masonry carvings, enduring battlements, and more modest earthen ramparts that have survived alongside them. Through a feature-by-feature account of the architectural elements and techniques used in constructing the medieval castle, author Lise Hull allows the multiple functions of these multifarious forms to shine through, and in so doing, lends a new vitality to the thousand faces that the medieval world assumed to discourage its enemies, inspire its friends, and control its subjects.

This compelling investigation takes a unique look at each of the medieval castle's main roles: as an offensive presentation and defensive fortification, as a residential and administrative building, and as a symbolic structure demonstrating the status of its owner. Each chapter focuses on one specific role and uses concrete architectural features to demonstrate that aspect of the medieval castle in Britain. A wealth of illustrations is also provided, as is a glossary explaining the distinct parts of the castle and their functions. This book should be of interest to students researching architecture, the Middle Ages, or military history, as well as general readers interested in castles or considering a trip to Britain to observe some of these magnificent sites themselves.
Medieval City
Authors: Pounds Norman
Published: October 2023

An introduction to the life of towns and cities in the medieval period, this book shows how medieval towns grew to become important centers of trade and liberty. Beginning with a look at the Roman Empire's urban legacy, the author delves into urban planning or lack thereof; the urban way of life; the church in the city; city government; urban crafts and urban trade, health, wealth, and welfare; and the city in history. Annotated primary documents like Domesday Book, sketches of street life, and descriptions of fairs and markets bring the period to life, and extended biographical sketches of towns, regions, and city-dwellers provide readers with valuable detail. In addition, 26 maps and illustrations, an annotated bibliography, glossary, and index round out the work.

After a long decline in urban life following the fall of the Roman Empire, towns became centers of trade and of liberty during the medieval period. Here, the author describes how, as Europe stabilized after centuries of strife, commerce and the commercial class grew, and urban areas became an important source of revenue into royal coffers. Towns enjoyed various levels of autonomy, and always provided goods and services unavailable in rural areas. Hazards abounded in towns, though. Disease, fire, crime and other hazards raised mortality rates in urban environs.

Designed as an introduction to life of towns and cities in the medieval period, eminent historian Norman Pounds brings to life the many pleasures, rewards, and dangers city-dwellers sought and avoided. Beginning with a look at the Roman Empire's urban legacy, Pounds delves into Urban Planning or lack thereof; The Urban Way of Life; The Church in the City; City Government; Urban Crafts and Urban Trade, Health, Wealth, and Welfare; and The City in History. Annotated primary documents like Domesday Book, sketches of street life, and descriptions of fairs and markets bring the period to life, and extended biographical sketches of towns, regions, and city-dwellers provide readers with valuable detail. In addition, 26 maps and illustrations, an annotated bibliography, glossary, and index round out the work.
Breaking the Traumatic Silence of Child Abuse in Lucy Prebble’s The Sugar Syndrome
Authors: DAĞ Büşra , GUVEN Samet
Published: October 2023

The Sugar Syndrome is a play by Lucy Prebble that discovers the traumatic effects of child abuse through the eyes of a adolescent girl called Dani. The play explores the silence and taboo surrounding child abuse, as well as the sensitive and inner toll it takes on its victims. Through Dani's story, the work highpoints the position of breaking the silence and talking about abuse to heal and find fairness and at the same time it features topics of power dynamics, management, and trust in its plot. The Sugar Syndrome is an influential work that sheds light on the overwhelming reality of child abuse and the status of addressing it to back up survivors and avoid further harm. Furthermore, the play also inspects the impact of child abuse on the perpetrator and the complicated psychological aspects that contribute to abusive behaviour. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to search for the traumatic effects of child abuse in Lucy Prebble’s The Sugar Syndrome by precisely concentrating on the sufferings of young generation.

Petro Dönemi’nde Rusçaya çevrilen eserleri konu edinen bu çalışmada, 1700-1725 yılları arasında gerçekleşen ve her aşamasında I. Petro’nun da dâhil olduğu çeviri faaliyetleri incelenmektedir. Söz konusu dönemde yapılan çeviriler düzyazı, şiir ve tiyatro eserleri olarak sınıflandırılarak ele alınmıştır. Düzyazı eser çevirileri birkaç gruba ayrılarak incelenmiştir. İlk gruba devletin siyasi yapısı ve buna bağlı mevzuatla ilgili bilgi veren eserleri dâhil edilmiştir. XVIII. yüzyılın başlarında Rusçaya yöneticilerin yararlanabileceği uygulamaya yönelik yönergeler içeren eserler de çevrilmiştir. Bu eserler de söz konusu ilk gruba dâhil edilmiştir. Petro Dönemi’nde çevrilen tarihsel eserler ayrı bir grup olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu dönemde edebî çeviriler devletin ihtiyaç duyduğu, çevrilmesi öncelikli eserler arasında değildir, bu sebeple edebî çevirilerin sayısı azdır. Petro Dönemi’nde Rusçaya çevrilen edebî eserleri düzyazı, şiir ve tiyatro olarak ayrı gruplar olarak incelenmiştir. Genel olarak farklı edebiyatlara (Antik Yunan ve Roma, Alman, İtalyan, Leh) ve farklı türe (drama, düzyazı şeklinde, roman vs.) ait şiirlerin çevrildiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrı bir başlık altında ele alınan tiyatro eserleri çevirileri bölümünde Kunst-Fürst kumpanyasının sahnelediği oyunlar incelenmiştir. Petro Dönemi Rusya’sında düzyazı, şiir ve tiyatro eserleri çevrilerini konu alan çalışmada ayrıca bu eserleri Rusçaya kazandıran, Rus kültürüne katkıları yadsınamaz çevirmenler üzerinde de durulmuştur.

One of the abundant agricultural products in Wadiabero Village is corn. However, the utilization of corn agricultural products has not been maximized, and people tend to directly sell the corn to make ends meet. The objectives of this training are: 1. to provide solutions to partners on how to take advantage of the abundant sweet corn harvest in the Wadiabero Village area to be processed into nutritious and marketable food products using simple technology. 2. Increasing knowledge and skills as well as entrepreneurial opportunities for farmer mothers in processing diversified sweet corn processed products in the form of puddings and tray cakes, in order to increase family income. The result of the activity is an increase in community knowledge and skills in corn processing and the creation of processed products such as corn balls, kaagung mutara and corn hawaiian ice. It is hoped that this product will have the potential to become a household-scale small industrial business as a diversification of processed corn and provide motivation for the creation of the latest processed corn.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. The single field-of-view (SFOV) sounder atmospheric product (SiFSAP) retrieval algorithm has been developed to address the need to retrieve high-spatial-resolution atmospheric data products from hyper-spectral sounders and ensure the radiometric consistency between the retrieved properties and measured spectral radiances. It is based on an integrated optimal-estimation inversion scheme that processes data from the satellite-based synergistic microwave (MW) and infrared (IR) spectral measurements from advanced sounders. The retrieval system utilizes the principal component radiative transfer model (PCRTM), which performs radiative transfer calculations monochromatically and includes accurate cloud-scattering simulations. SiFSAP includes temperature, water vapor, surface skin temperature and emissivity, cloud height and microphysical properties, and concentrations of essential trace gases for each SFOV at a native instrument spatial resolution. Error estimations are provided based on a rigorous analysis for uncertainty propagation from the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) spectral radiances to the retrieved geophysical properties. As a comparison, the spatial resolution for the traditional hyper-spectral sounder retrieval products is much coarser than the native resolution of the instruments due to the common use of the “cloud-clearing” technique to compensate for the lack of cloud-scattering simulation in the forward model. The degraded spatial resolution in traditional cloud-clearing sounder retrieval products limits their applications for capturing meteorological or climate signals at finer spatial scales. Moreover, a rigorous uncertainty propagation estimation needed for long-term climate trend studies cannot be given due to the lack of direct radiative transfer relationships between the observed TOA radiances and the retrieved geophysical properties. With the advantages of the higher spatial resolution; the simultaneous retrieval of atmospheric, cloud, and surface properties using all available spectral information; and the establishment of “radiance closure” in the sounder spectral measurements, the SiFSAP provides additional information needed for various weather and climate studies and applications using sounding observations. This paper gives an overview of the SiFSAP retrieval algorithm and assessment of SiFSAP atmospheric temperature, water vapor, clouds, and surface products derived from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) and Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) data.

Abstract. China stands out as a major contributor to anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions, with coal mine methane (CMM) playing a crucial role. To control and reduce CH4 emissions, China has made a dedicated commitment and formulated an ambitious mitigation plan. To verify the process made, the consistent acquisition of independent CH4 emission data is required. This paper aims to implement a wind-assigned anomaly method for the precise determination of regional-scale CMM emissions within the coal-rich Shanxi province. We use the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) CH4 observations from May 2018 to May 2023, coupled with ERA5 wind covering the Changzhi, Jincheng and Yangquan regions. The derived emission strengths are 8.4× 1026 ± 1.6 × 1025 molec. s-1 (0.706 ± 0.013 Tg yr-1), 1.4 × 1027 ± 1.9 × 1025 molec. s-1 (1.176 ± 0.016 Tg yr-1), and 4.9 × 1026± 1.8 × 1025 molec. s-1 (0.412 ± 0.015 Tg yr-1), respectively. Our results exhibit biases of -18 %, 8 %, and 14 % when compared to the bottom-up inventory. Larger discrepancies are found when comparing the estimates to the CAMS-GLOB-ANT and EDGARv7.0 inventories. This suggests that the two inventories may be overestimating the CH4 emissions in the Jincheng and Yangquan regions. Our estimates provide a comprehensive characterization of the regions within the Shanxi province, contribute to the validation of emission inventories, and help to develop climate mitigation strategies.

Abstract. Ocean models must be regularly updated through the assimilation of observations (data assimilation) in order to correctly represent the timing and locations of eddies. Since initial conditions play an important role in the quality of short-term ocean forecasts, an effective data assimilation scheme to produce accurate state estimates is key to improving prediction. Western boundary current regions, such as the East Australia Current system, are highly variable regions making them particularly challenging to model and predict. This study assesses the performance of two ocean data assimilation systems in the East Australian Current system over a two year period. We compare the time-dependent 4-Dimensional Variational (4D-Var) data assimilation system with the more computationally-efficient, time-independent Ensemble Optimal Interpolation (EnOI) system, across a common modelling and observational framework. Both systems assimilate the same observations including: satellite-derived sea-surface height, sea-surface temperature, vertical profiles of temperature and salinity (from Argo floats), and temperature profiles from eXpendable Bathy-Thermographs. We analyse both systems' performance against independent data that is withheld allowing a thorough analysis of system performance. The 4D-Var system is 25 times more expensive but outperforms the EnOI system against both assimilated and independent observations at the surface and subsurface. For forecast horizons of 5-days Root-mean-squared forecast errors are 20–60 % higher for the EnOI system compared to the 4D-Var system. The 4D-Var system, which assimilates observations over 5-day windows, provides a smoother transition from the end of the forecast to the subsequent analysis field. The EnOI system displays elevated low frequency (>1 day), surface intensified variability in temperature, and elevated kinetic energy at length scales less than 100 km at the beginning of the forecast windows. The 4D-Var system displays elevated energy in the near-inertial range throughout the water column, with the wavenumber kinetic energy spectra remaining unchanged upon assimilation. Overall, this comparison shows quantitatively that the 4D-Var system results in improved predictability as the analysis provides a smoother and more dynamically-balanced fit between the observations and the model's time-evolving flow. This advocates the use of advanced, time-dependent data assimilation methods, particularly for highly variable oceanic regions, and motivates future work into further improving data assimilation schemes.
The influence of human activities on streamflow reductions during the megadrought in Central Chile

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Central Chile has experienced a protracted megadrought since 2010 (up to date), with annual precipitation deficits ranging from 25 % to 70 %. Drought propagation has been intensified during this time, with streamflow reductions up to 30 % larger than those expected from historical records. This intensification has been attributed to the cumulative effect of precipitation deficits associated to catchment memory in near-natural basins of central Chile. However, the additional effect of water extractions on drought intensification in disturbed basins remains an open challenge. In this study, we assess the effects of climate and water use on streamflow reductions during the last three decades in four major agricultural basins in central Chile, with particular focus on the ongoing megadrought. We address this by contrasting streamflow observations with near-natural streamflow simulations representing the discharge that would have occurred without water extractions. Near-natural streamflow estimations are obtained from rainfall-runoff models trained over a reference period with low human intervention (1960–1988). We characterise hydrological droughts driven by precipitation and human activities during the evaluation period (1988–2020) in terms of the frequency, duration and intensity of near-natural and observed seasonal streamflow deficits, respectively. Our results show that before the megadrought onset (1988–2009), streamflow in the four basins was 2 to 20 % lower than the streamflow during the undisturbed period. Between 81 to 100 % of these larger deficits were explained by water extractions. During the megadrought (2010–2020), streamflow was reduced in a range of 47 to 76 % among the different basins, compared to the reference period. During this time, the climatic contribution to streamflow reductions increased and had a lower relative contribution, accounting for 27 to 51 % of streamflow reduction. During the complete evaluation period, human activities have amplified the propagation of droughts, with more than double the frequency, duration, and intensity of hydrological droughts in some basins, compared to those expected by precipitation deficits only. We conclude that while the primary cause of streamflow reductions during the megadrought has been the lack of precipitation, water uses have not diminished during this time, causing an exacerbation of the hydrological drought conditions and aggravating their impacts on human water consumption, economic activities, and natural ecosystems.
