Методи. Польовий, статистичний. Результати. Встановлено, що застосування регуляторів росту рослин: Гідрогумін, Гулівер Стимул, Вимпел Максі та мікродобрива КомплеМет позитивно впливає на формування продуктивних і генеративних органів. Так, урожайність плодів із застосуванням прийому триразове позакореневого обприс-кування рослин регуляторами росту і мікродобривом підвищувалася на 1,06 – 2,48 кг / м2. В середньому приріст до контролю (13,22 кг / м2) за рахунок застосування РРР склав 8,00 – 18,71%. Найвищий показник урожайності огірка відмічено у варіанті з застосуванням мікродобрива КомплеМет – 15,70 кг / м2. Встановлено, що обробка материнської форми гібрида огірка Лірик F1 препаратами Гідрогумін і КомплеМет не призводить до збільшення кількості насінників на рослині. Проте, вихід насіння з одного насінники у варіантах із застосуванням РРР Гідрогумін і мікродобрива КомплеМет за рахунок збільшення їх кількості та маси 1000 шт., був вищий і склав 2,64 і 2,26 г відповідно, при 2,20 г в контрольному варіанті. Урожайність насіння в варіантах із застосуванням препаратів Гідрогумін і КомплеМет склала відповідно 142,20 г / м2 і 135,60 г / м2 при 97,44 г / м2 в контролі. Запропонований прийом підвищення урожайності насіння огірка в умовах захищеного ґрунту дозволяє збільшити рентабельність виробництва насіння на 10–25 %. Найвищий показник рентабельності 72 % забезпечує застосування мікродобрива КомплеМет при 47 % за базової технології вирощу-вання. Висновки. Результати досліджень свідчать про отриманий позитивний ефект від застосування РРР та мікродобрив для підвищення урожайності плодів огірка на 8,00–18,71 % та відповідно на 39-46 % насіння. Найвища урожайність плодів огірка відмічається при застосуванні мікродобрива Ком-плеМет – 15,70 кг/м2, урожайність насіння – при застосуванні регулятору росту рослин Гідрогуміну – 142,20 г/м2. Доведено доцільність застосування препаратів для підвищення урожайності плодів та насіння огірка за рядом економічних показників. Рентабельність застосування мікродобрива КомплеМет в технології вирощування плодів огірка в захищеному ґрунті становить 72 %, регулятору росту рослин Гідрогуміну при гібридному насінництві становить відповідно 167 %.

Published: August 2019

The healthy water resources are necessary and essential prerequisite for environmental protection and economic development, political, social and cultural rights of Iran. In this research, water quality parameters i.e. total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium absorption rate (SAR), electrical conductivity (EC), Na+, Cl-, CO32-, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, pH, HCO3- and SO42- during 2010-2011 were obtained from Iranian Water Resources Research Institute in water quality measurement stations on Mazandaran province, Iran. Then, the most important catchment characteristics (area, mean slope, mean height, base flow index, annual rainfall, land cover, and geology) were determined on water quality parameters using stepwise regression via backwards method in the 63 selected rivers. The results showed that sodium absorption rate (SAR), total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), Na+ and Cl- parameters are strongly linked to geology characteristics, while K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ cations is linked to rainfall and geology characteristics. pH and HCO3- are related to area, rainfall, land cover and geology characteristics, CO32- is related to area, rainfall, rangeland area and geology characteristics and SO42- is related to area, rainfall, range and bar land area and geology characteristics. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was used for modeling the selected catchment characteristics and water quality parameters. The ANFIS models have a high Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE)  and low root mean squares error (RMSE) to estimate water quality parameters.

Published: August 2019

For the construction of various civil engineering structures, particular care should be taken in the perspective of geodetic control. Therefore, the design and implementation of the geodetic network deserves special attention. This paper is focused on various aspects of datum definitions for tested micro-triangulation network. It was shown that the geometrical distribution of datum points in a minimally constrained solution has a great impact on the accuracy of the geodetic network. Estimates of the accuracies of individual station y-x coordinates, error circles and error ellipses, obtained by free adjustment, where the datum selection was independent of errors in fixed coordinates, revealed much better quality of control points.

Published: August 2019

Reflective teaching is a relatively important issue in the field of teachers’ continue professional development. In this study, the author reviewed previous studies that investigated reflective teaching had positive influence for teachers’ progress in the long run. There were 13 different experiments analyzed in this article. Through a series analysis, five positive impact factors of reflective teaching were extracted: (a) Reflective teaching is correlated with the coefficient of the teacher’s CPD, (b) Teachers using reflective teaching will enhance teaching energy and confidence, (c) Teaching journal writing causes positive effects on the promotion of teaching quality, responsibility and consciousness, (d) Positive reflection attitude, academic qualifications and the overseas study experience promote the efficiency of teacher’s CPD, and (e) Based on group reflective discussions, teachers have more enthusiasm to share their thinking and get some new and creative teaching methods. Whereas, this study also showed that lack of theoretical knowledge restricts the teacher’s autonomous reflection ability. In addition, the researcher pointed three implications are used for teaching in class. Firstly, the reflective consciousness should be cultivated. Secondly, teachers need to focus on the combination of reflection theory and teaching practice. Thirdly, school and society should supply training activities and relax the environment for English teachers to enhance the quality of their reflection.

ESTUDO COMPARATIVO ENTRE A HISTÓRIA DA CONTABILIDADE TRADICIONAL E A SUA NOVA HISTÓRIA
Authors: Schmidt Paulo , Gass Julia de Medeiros
Published: August 2019

Desde o início de sua existência, a Contabilidade seguiu os passos evolutivos da sociedade. Inicialmente tudo era registrado de modo precário, mas, a partir do surgimento da escrita e dos números, os registros contábeis tornaram-se mais desenvolvidos e complexos. Esse processo evolutivo fez com que escolas de pensamentos contábeis se sucedessem através da história, especialmente com visões tradicionais, seguindo os preceitos sociais e políticos de sua época. Porém, a partir de 1929, surgiu uma nova perspectiva histórica para a contabilidade com o aparecimento da chamada Nova História da Contabilidade ou História Crítica, liderada por uma nova corrente de pensadores com ideias contrárias as apresentadas pelos tradicionalistas. A partir desse novo momento, este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de apresentar quais as características que distinguem a Nova História da Contabilidade (NHC) da História Tradicional da Contabilidade (HTC). Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise descritiva e documental sobre a NHC e a THC, aplicando-se uma abordagem qualitativa. O resultado indica que não existe consenso sobre esse processo evolutivo e que, ainda existem divergências significativas entre os defensores de cada corrente histórica. As principais contribuições do estudo estão relacionadas com o entendimento de que essa nova concepção sobre a história pode influenciar significativamente o foco de pesquisas sobre Contabilidade.

Published: August 2019

Esse artigo se propõe a discutir a produção visual de grafiteiros no Recife Antigo, bairro histórico da capital pernambucana, com o intuito de identificar como o grafite dialoga com questões de pertencimento territorial, legitimidade e identidade. Tem-se, como pano de fundo, a contenda do poder público entre a promoção do bem estar social e o atendimento dos interesses do capital no planejamento urbano das cidades. Para isso, foram apresentadas proposições sobre o direito à cidade contempladas por David Harvey, Henri Lefebvre, Jean Lojkine entre outros. Como método, a pesquisa se inspirou nas diretrizes do método cartográfico rizomático descrito pelos filósofos franceses Gilles Deleuze e Felix Guattari. De 47 grafites identificados, 11 foram selecionados e organizados em 4 mapas que contemplam a estética da grafitagem, o anticapitalismo, a insustentabilidade da exploração de recursos naturais e a exploração sexual de menores. Ao término, abre-se a possibilidade para novos e inesgotáveis entendimentos dos mapas apresentados, numa compreensão de que, a cada novo olhar, a arte da grafitagem evoca diferentes questões nas lutas de classe de base urbana.

Wesley Carr, religious institutions, and institutional integrity
Authors: Shapiro Edward R.
Published: August 2019

Wesley Carr devoted his life to the Church of England, using group relations theory to frame some of his thinking. He saw the primary task of religious institutions as containing irrationality and dependency on behalf of society. This article offers a summary of Wesley’s central ideas, with an extended illustration of his management (as Dean of Westminster) of Princess Diana’s funeral. The private and public mourning of millions around the world during and after this funeral is an example of the way religious institutions can respond to the needs of society by helping to manage the boundary transitions of life and death. The
rituals of religion during such transitions can help individuals move beyond narrow subgroup identifications to discover their membership in a larger human community. For Wesley Carr, integrity meant to commit all of oneself to an institution’s primary task, negotiated with and on behalf of others, that connects to a transcendent set of ideals and beliefs.

Effectiveness of bioimpedance spectroscopy on dry weight (DW) measurement in haemodialysis patients: a systematic review
Authors: Ko Hyeyoung , Jayasekara Rasika , Grech Carol
Published: August 2019

Aim To review the effects of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) to measure dry weight (DW) in haemodialysis (HD)patients when compared to clinical examination.
Methods The review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MasARI). Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5 software. The search was limited to English language papers published from 2005 to 2017. A standard JBI three-step search strategy was used. We searched all quantitative studies from major databases for investigations of the BIS for measuring DW in HD patients.
Results A total of four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) met the inclusion criteria. These studies all involved patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving HD and the comparison of BIS versus physician’s clinical judgement using cardiovascular parameters and mortality outcomes. The meta-analysis of BIS when compared with clinical judgement found no significant differences in the reduction of the mortality rate, hospitalisation rate or other cardiovascular parameters after 12 months of the intervention; only significant improvement in pre-dialysis systolic BP (WMD –5.41, 95% CI –9.00 to –1.82; p=0.003) was reported. However, individual RCTs found that BIS is an effective intervention for HD patients in the reduction of the mortality rate (HR 0.100, 95% CI, 0.013 to 0.805; p=0.04) after 2.5 years of the intervention.
Conclusion The small number of participants and restricted participant selection criteria all has considerable impact with regard to generalising these findings to wider HD populations.
Investigating the role of practice nurses in the early identification and management of chronic kidney disease in the general practice setting: An integrative review
Authors: Turner Graeme , Grace Sandra , Aggar Christina , Rafferty Rae
Published: August 2019

Aim The aim of this study was to critically review research literature investigating the role of practice nurses in the early identification and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general practice setting.
Method An integrative review was performed to determine the extent to which the topic has been investigated. Quantitative and qualitative research papers were systematically located in peer-reviewed journals in electronic databases. Included papers were critically appraised using the relevant CASP appraisal tools.
Findings There is a paucity of research investigating the role of practice nurses in the early identification and management of CKD in primary health care. Three articles published between 2013 and 2017 were identified: two quantitative studies and one qualitative study. One study from The Netherlands quantified positive outcomes of practice nurse-centred management of CKD in general practice.
Conclusion Practice nurses may be effective in the early identification and management of CKD, including improving blood pressure control. Providing education to practice nurses appears to be a key factor in increasing practice nurses’ involvement in identification and management of CKD. Further research is warranted to see if the results are transferable to other jurisdictions.

ANALYSIS OF INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS IN MIXED ADSORPTION LAYERS OF SURFACTANTS
Authors: Kochkodan Olha , Antraptseva Nadiya , Zhyla Roman
Published: August 2019

The adsorption of the surfactants mixtures of different chemical nature such as Triton X-100 and sodium hexadecyl sulfate at the surface of graphitized carbon black was studied. Using the model of phase separation (the Rubi–Rosen approach), the composition of the mixed adsorption layers and parameters of interaction between the surfactant molecules in the adsorption layers were calculated. It was found that mixed adsorption layers are enriched with molecules of the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100.

The purpose of the work was to study the adsorption of binary mixtures of surfactants of various chemical nature on the surface of non-porous hydrophobic carbon sorbent at different SAS ratio in mixtures.

The results of calculations show that the composition of the adsorption layer on the surface of the GC is significantly different from the ratio of surfactants in the solution. The value of the parameter χ indicates that the mixed adsorption layer on the surface of the GC is enriched with non-ionic surfactant molecules, even with a small its content in the solution (αTХ-100 = 0,2). With an increase in the ТХ-100 molar fraction in the binary solution from 0,2 to 0,8 its share in the adsorption layer increases in approximately 1.5 times. Negative values of the interaction parameters βs indicate excessive attraction of the molecules and ions of the mixture components in the mixed adsorption layers. An increase in the absolute value of the parameter βs with an increase in αTХ-100 in the solution characterizes the enhancement of the interactions between the components in the adsorption layer.

Thus, in the course of experiments carried out for mixed systems of SHDS-ТХ-100, the existence of a synergistic effect in relation to an increase in the adsorption of surfactants on the GC surface was established. It is found that mixed adsorption layers are enriched with molecules of the non-ionic surface  active  substance  of  the  triton  X-100.

Authors: Goncharuk Vladislav , Kucheruk Dmitry , Dubrovina Liubov , Vyshnevskyi Oleksii , Dubrovin Igor , Ogenko Volodymyr
Published: August 2019

The tubular ceramic membranes of clay minerals were modified with pyrocarbon, which was obtained by carbonizing of polymer precursors at 750 ° С in an argon flow. The precursor to carbonization of membrane II was polyurethane, obtained from laprol and polyisocyanate. A precursor to carbonization of the membrane III was a mixture of polymers formed by the reaction of components of an aqueous solution of a dry solution with NCO-groups of polyisocyanate. As a result of the modification, the membranes became black with a metallic luster. The composition and structure of the membranes were studied by XRF and SEM. The modifier of the membrane II is located in the pore space in the form of sintered agglomerates. The modifier of the membrane III is represented not only by the same agglomerates, but also envelops the structural elements of the membrane material. The apparent density and open porosity for the unmodified membrane are 1.80 g/cm3 and 44.9 %, for membrane II - 1.67 g/cm3 and 39.9 %, for membrane III - 1.68 g/cm3 and 38.3 %. Testing of modified membranes was carried out by water purification from Ca2 + and Fe3 + using the baromembrane method. The concentration of Ca2 + and Fe3 + in aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and FeCl3 was 100 mg/dm3. The period of time until the establishment of dynamic equilibrium in systems during water purification is (1–3 h). After reaching equilibrium the retention factor (R) of Ca2 + during water purification with membrane II is 30% at a pressure of 0.6 MPa, and at a pressure of 1.1 MPa – 18 %. The specific productivity increases with increasing pressure from 10 to 18 dm3/(m2×h). The R of Ca2 + in water purification with membrane III is 22 % at a pressure of 0.4 MPa, and the specific productivity is 47 dm3/(m2×h). The unmodified membrane does not inhibit Ca2 + at all, and its specific productivity at a working pressure of 0.7 MPa decreases from 755 to 500 dm3/(m2×h) in 2-3 hours. The coefficient of retention of Fe3 + by membrane III after 5 hours at a working pressure of 0.4 MPa is 98 % The specific productivity in this case is 8 dm3/(m2×h).

Authors: Metwalli Farouk I , Yousif Mahmoud S , El Dally Nancy H , Abu El Ata Ahmed S
Published: August 2019

The Qasr oil and gas Field is located in the north western desert of Egypt. It belongs to the southeastern part of the Lower Jurassic-Cretaceous Shushan Basin. The Lower Cretaceous Alam-El Bueib formation composed of clastic rocks with noticeable carbonate proportions, and forms multiple oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs in Qasr field. The study aims to define and analyze the Surface and subsurface structural features which are a key issue in assessing reservoir quality. Through this integrated approach, one may be able to identify lithologies and fluids in this region and provide possibly new hydrocarbon fairways for exploration. For this purpose, seismic and well data were interpreted and mapped in order to visualize the subsurface structure of the Cretaceous section. Results show the effect of NE-SW, NW-SE, and E-W trending normal faulting on the Lower Cretaceous Alam-El Bueib formation and is extended to the Upper Cretaceous Abu Roash Formation. The effect of folding is minimal but can be detected. These normal faults are related to the extensional tectonics which affected the north western desert of Egypt during the Mesozoic. One reverse fault is detected in the eastern part and is related mostly to the inversion tectonics in the Late Mesozoic. The depth structure contour maps of the Alam-El Bueib horizons (AEB-1, AEB-3A, and AEB-3D) show several major normal faults trending NE-SW and minor normal faults trending NW-SE. One larger branching normal fault trending E-W and lies to the south of the study area. These step-normal faults divide the area into a number of tilted structural blocks which are shallower in the south and deepen to the north. The area of study was most probably affected by E-W trending normal faults during the opening of the Atlantic Ocean in the Jurassic. Later right-lateral compression resulted from the movement of Laurasia against North Africa, changed their trend into NE-SW faults with minor NW-SE trending folds. These compressive stresses are also responsible for the reverse faulting resulted by inversion in the Late Mesozoic.

Entrapped, stranded and recumbent equids often require emergency rescue. The success of the rescue is often affected by secondary injuries from struggling of the horse to rise and from injury secondary to attempted rescue by pulling on the head or limbs of the equid. Therefore, having ready access to simplified rescue equipment which can be easily applied would be desirable. The devices currently available for these manipulations are not always readily available at the site of an incident. Here, we describe and illustrate the step-by-step use of a Loops System consisting of 183 cm round slings, which can be positioned on the recumbent horse utilizing commercially available and reasonably priced equipment. The Loops System is basically composed of four round slings placed in such a way that utilizes the skeletal system for support. The procedures are illustrated utilizing a recumbent life-size horse model or mannequin. We suggest that the Loops System kit may allow enhanced ability for responders to provide care to a recumbent horse.
Halal Criteria Versus Conventional Slaughter Technology

The halal meat industry is today a reality in many regions of the world, including the European Union. The main religious laws in the area of halal meat production were legislated in ancient times and may be unchangeable due to their sanctity perceived by faithful Muslims, while the modern technology used in the meat industry is constantly evolving and being updated. The objective of this study is to highlight the points of controversy between the principles of halal and the technological means currently used in the meat industry. Modern slaughter practices, including animal fasting prior to slaughter, animal body position, the location of the incision during slaughter, stunning and mechanical slaughter, are reviewed. The purpose of preslaughter feed availability according to halal criteria could be to ensure greater welfare for animals, though feed withdrawal is necessary today. Although there is no clear unified opinion among the Islamic sects, reversible stunning of animals is generally accepted. A neck cut at a higher position than the conventional low cut in cattle may reduce the compromise in welfare (the onset of unconsciousness), minimise false aneurysm and be compatible with halal criteria. This study may contribute towards consideration being given to technology that is not in conflict with the religious legislation, while at the same time meeting the requirements of the modern meat industry.

The anti-oxidative phenolic compounds in plant extracts possess multiple pharmacological functions. However, the phenolic characterization and in vitro bio-activities in various parts of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) have not been investigated systematically. In the present study, the phenolic profiles of leaves (LE), fruit pulp (FPE), and seed extracts (SE) in raspberry were analyzed by HR-HPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS/MS method, and their antioxidant activities and digestive enzymes inhibitory abilities were also investigated. The molecular docking analysis was used to delineate their inhibition mechanisms toward type II diabetes related digestive enzymes. Regardless of LE, FPE, or SE, 50% methanol was the best solvent for extracting high contents of phenolic compounds, followed by 50% ethanol and 100% methanol. The LE of raspberry displayed the highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). A total of nineteen phenolic compounds were identified. The quantitative results showed that gallic acid, ellagic acid, and procyanidin C3 were the major constituents in the three extracts. The various parts extracts of raspberry all exhibited the strong antioxidant activities, especially for LE. Moreover, the powerful inhibitory effects of the three extracts against digestive enzymes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase) were observed. The major phenolic compounds of the three extracts also showed good inhibitory activities of digestive enzyme in a dose-dependent manner. The underlying inhibitory mechanisms of the main phenolic compounds against digestive enzymes were clarified by molecular docking analysis. The present study demonstrated that the various parts of raspberry had strong antioxidant activities and inhibitory effects on digestive enzymes, and can potentially prevent oxidative damage or diabetes-related problems.

Published: August 2019

We review the progress in the investigation of the Verdet constant of new magneto-active materials for the Faraday-effect-based devices used in high-power laser systems. A practical methodology for advanced characterization of the Verdet constant of these materials is presented, providing a useful tool for benchmarking the new materials. The experimental setup used for the characterization is a flexible and robust tool for evaluating the Faraday rotation angle induced in the magneto-active material, from which the Verdet constant is calculated based on the knowledge of the magnetic field and the material sample parameters. A general model for describing the measured Verdet constant data as a function of wavelength and temperature is given. In the final part of this review, we present a brief overview of several magneto-active materials, which have been to-date reported as promising candidates for utilization in the Faraday devices. This overview covers room-temperature investigations of the Verdet constant of several materials, which could be used for the ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths.

Published: August 2019

In this paper, the basic composition and performance evaluation of the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials were firstly analyzed, and two methods were proposed to evaluate strength characteristics of RAP materials, including a triaxial method for the residual strength and the mortar cementing method for the strength of RAP lump. Then, the cold recycling technology was applied on RAP materials with emulsified asphalt by using vibratory compaction and heavy-duty compaction methods (Proctor compaction method), and the results showed that the maximum dry density obtained by heavy-duty compaction was closer to the actual situation. Finally, the effects of wetting water, emulsified asphalt dosage and curing conditions on the performance of the specimens were investigated. It was found that when the emulsified asphalt was mixed uniformly, whether or not to add the wetting water have almost no effect on the strength of the molded specimens. When the matrix asphalt content of the emulsified asphalt was 30%~60%, the water could be directly added to the cold recycling mixture. The intensity of accelerated curing for two days at 40 °C was approximately equal to that of natural curing for three days, while that of accelerated curing for three days at 40 °C was approximately equal to that of natural curing for seven days, which provided a basis for the short-term laboratory test.

Published: August 2019

This paper summarizes the top state-of-the-art contributions reported on the MNIST dataset for handwritten digit recognition. This dataset has been extensively used to validate novel techniques in computer vision, and in recent years, many authors have explored the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and other deep learning techniques over this dataset. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first exhaustive and updated review of this dataset; there are some online rankings, but they are outdated, and most published papers survey only closely related works, omitting most of the literature. This paper makes a distinction between those works using some kind of data augmentation and works using the original dataset out-of-the-box. Also, works using CNNs are reported separately; as they are becoming the state-of-the-art approach for solving this problem. Nowadays, a significant amount of works have attained a test error rate smaller than 1% on this dataset; which is becoming non-challenging. By mid-2017, a new dataset was introduced: EMNIST, which involves both digits and letters, with a larger amount of data acquired from a database different than MNIST’s. In this paper, EMNIST is explained and some results are surveyed.

Published: August 2019

Smart glasses for wearable augmented reality (AR) are widely used in various applications, such as training and task assistance. However, as the field of view (FOV) in the current AR smart glasses is narrow, it is difficult to visualize all the information on the AR display. Besides, only simple interactions are supported. This paper presents a comparative and substantial evaluation of user interactions for wearable AR concerning visual contexts and gesture interactions using AR smart glasses. Based on the evaluation, it suggests new guidelines for visual augmentation focused on task assistance. Three different types of visual contexts for wearable AR were implemented and evaluated: stereo rendering and direct augmentation, and non-stereo rendering and indirect augmentation with/without video background. Also, gesture interactions, such as multi-touch interaction and hand gesture-based interaction, were implemented and evaluated. We performed quantitative and qualitative analyses, including performance measurement and questionnaire evaluation. The experimental assessment proves that both FOV and visual registration between virtual and physical artifacts are important, and they can complement each other. Hand gesture-based interaction can be more intuitive and useful. Therefore, by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the visual context and gesture interaction in wearable AR, this study suggests more effective and user-centric guidance for task assistance.
The Spatial Perspective in Post-Earthquake Evaluation to Improve Mitigation Strategies: Geostatistical Analysis of the Seismic Damage Applied to a Real Case Study

Published: August 2019

The analysis of damage in cities after an earthquake to implement mitigation strategies of seismic risk is a complex job that is usually full of uncertainties. Numerous variables affect the final result of the observable damage in a set of buildings in an urban area. The use of methodologies capable of providing global explanations beyond the traditional unidisciplinary approach of disciplines, such as structural analysis, earthquake engineering, geotechnics, or seismology, can be very useful for improving the behavior of our cities against earthquakes. This article presents geostatistical post-earthquake analysis, an innovative approach in this field of research based on GIS spatial statistical tools to evaluate the importance of the different variables after an earthquake that may have caused damage in a city. This new framework will be applied to analyze, from a geostatistical perspective, the damage levels observed in the city of Lorca (Spain) after the earthquake of 2011; a case study where various studies have proposed different measures to mitigate the impact of future earthquakes as a consequence of focusing on different phenomena as the main variable for the damage produced. A bivariate GIS assessment will allow spatial correlation of the problems detected from a statistical point of view (inadequate design of buildings, age of the real estate stock, inefficient urban planning configurations, geological risk, etc.) and the different levels of damage that the technicians who participated in the post-earthquake phase evaluated in the city. The results obtained will allow one to hierarchize the importance of the different detected phenomena to prepare the city better against future earthquakes and to elaborate an improved seismic mitigation strategy.
