Investigating The Impact Of Justice Dimension And Perceived Value On Customer Satisfaction For Sharing Economy Of Accommodation
Authors: Bokyeong Kim , Cho Yoon C.
Published: October 2016

The sharing economy is in the embryonic stage of its development, and empirical research has rarely studied issues in the sharing economy. This study examines the impacts of justice dimensions and perceived values on intention, satisfaction, and loyalty in the context of the sharing economy. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of procedural, interactional, and distributive justice dimensions of customers as well as perceived values of price, trust, and experiences on intention, satisfaction and loyalty for the sharing economy of accommodation. This study investigated the following research questions: i) how does the awareness of sharing economy affect the justice dimension that includes procedural justice, distributive justice, and interactional justice?; ii) how does the awareness of sharing economy affect perceived values including price, reliability, and experience?; iii) how do justice dimensions and perceived values affect potential customer intention?; iv) how do justice dimensions and perceived values affect customer satisfaction?; and v) how does customer satisfaction affect customer loyalty? This study collects data through an online survey and applies quantitative methods such as factor, regression, and ANOVA. The results find that both justice dimensions and perceived values play an essential role in improving satisfaction and loyalty. This study provides both theoretical and managerial implications for future analysis of the relationship between justice dimensions, perceived values, satisfaction, and loyalty in the environment of sharing economy of accommodation.

Don’t Throw Out Paper And Pens Yet: On The Reading Habits Of Students
Authors: Davidovitch Nitza , Yavich Roman , Druckman Eran
Published: October 2016

This paper focuses on students’ reading habits — whether traditional reading habits (print books) or modern reading habits (using a computer screen). We review the changes in students’ reading habits over time, as part of other global changes, and explore whether corresponding digital pedagogies have evolved to address these changes. We examine generation Y students’ motivations and study habits, a generation that shows indications of changes in its academic values and priorities, and cracks in its research skills for a global world. We focus on a case study of the reading habits of students in one academic institution and discuss the implications of the findings for academic teaching and the academia’s traditional role of training researchers.
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Iron Deficiency Anemia and Iron Depletion During Pregnancy: A Prospective Study
Authors: Gomes da Costa Ana , Vargas Sara , Clode Nuno , M. Graça Luís
Published: October 2016

Introduction: Anemia and iron deficiency during pregnancy are a worldwide concern and are more frequent among women of reproductive age, pregnant women, and young children. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and the risk factors for iron depletion during the first half of pregnancy, in a Portuguese population.Material and Methods: A prospective study was conducted at a tertiary hospital and included pregnant women, until the 20th week of gestation. Data was collected regarding demographic and pregnancy features and hemoglobin and serum ferritin concentrations were determined. A multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify potential risk factors for iron deficiency.Results: Two hundred and one women were included, from which five (2.49%) presented anemia. Additionally, 77 (38.3%) exhibited iron deficiency and 22 (10.9%) revealed severe iron depletion. Maternal age was the only risk factor identified. The odds ratio (OR) was equal to 12.99 (95% CI 2.41 - 70.0) for women under twenty years of age and 2.09 (95% CI 1.05 - 4.14) for women older than thirty years of age.Discussion and Conclusion: The prevalence of maternal anemia in the first half of pregnancy was lower than in other studies. However, more than one-third of the women exhibited iron deficiency. With the exception of maternal age, no other risk factors were identified.
Schwanoma do Membro Superior: Análise Retrospectiva de 17 Casos
Authors: Sá Ângelo , Azevedo Leandro Nobre , Cunha Luísa
Published: October 2016

Introdução: O schwanoma ou neurilemoma é um tumor benigno dos nervos periféricos e apresenta-se habitualmente como uma lesão única de crescimento indolente, com origem na proliferação das células de Schwann. Representa uma pequena percentagem dos tumores benignos do membro superior, contudo é o mais frequente de origem neural. Apresentamos um estudo retrospectivo de schwanomas do membro superior para estabelecer a abordagem pré-operatória adequada, avaliar a eficácia do tratamento e observar a evolução pós-operatória.Material e Métodos: Revisão de 17 doentes tratados desde 2007 a 2014 com schwanoma do membro superior e caracterização quanto à idade, sexo, localização no membro superior, sinais e sintomas, exames pré-operatórios, diagnóstico histológico e vigilância pós-operatória.Resultados: Observou-se que em quatro dos doentes, o schwanoma se localizava no braço, três no antebraço, quatro no punho e seis na mão ou dedos. Procedeu-se a excisão com ampliação óptica para optimização do resultado funcional final. A enucleação foi realizada sem lesão fascicular em 12 doentes. Por sua vez, em cinco doentes efectuou-se a excisão dos fascículos envolvidos pela massa. No pós-operatório imediato as parestesias surgiram em nove doentes, regredindo em cinco daqueles no período pósoperatório de 12 meses. Um doente evidenciou défice motor do nervo radial, com recuperação parcial aos 12 meses.Discussão: Os schwanomas são tumores raros, de morfologia bem delimitada, que atingem esporadicamente o membro superior. O diagnóstico pré operatório é pouco frequente, pelo que normalmente apenas se estabelece o diagnóstico após a excisão e o estudo histopatológico.Conclusão: Os schwanomas deverão ser equacionados nas hipóteses de diagnóstico dos nódulos subcutâneos associados a sintomas neurológicos. Assim, é importante investigar a presença de parestesias e o sinal de Tinel, característicos desta lesão. A imagiologiatem um contributo fruste no diagnóstico. Para melhorar o resultado final, o estudo pré-operatório deverá ser criterioso, sendo aconselhável ponderar o benefício da cirurgia face à potencial lesão iatrogénica do nervo.
Diálise Peritoneal nos Dois Primeiros Anos de Vida: Experiência de uma Unidade de Nefrologia e Transplantação Renal Pediátrica
Authors: Deuchande Sofia , Mano Tânia , Novais Cristina , Machado Rute , Stone Rosário , Almeida Margarida
Published: October 2016

Introdução: A diálise peritoneal é o método dialítico de eleição perante doença renal crónica terminal em idade pediátrica. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar a sobrevivência a longo prazo de uma população de crianças, que iniciou diálise peritoneal nos dois primeiros anos de vida.Material e Métodos: Estudo descritivo e retrospetivo, realizado numa unidade de nefrologia e transplantação renal pediátrica portuguesa, no período de janeiro de 1991 a agosto de 2014. Avaliou-se etiologia da doença renal crónica terminal, mortalidade, comorbilidades e complicações da diálise peritoneal e da doença renal crónica terminal, crescimento e desenvolvimento psicomotor.Resultados: Vinte crianças iniciaram diálise peritoneal antes dos dois anos. Ocorreram seis óbitos; não houve mortalidade em crianças com doença renal primária nos últimos 10 anos. Caracterizaram-se os 14 sobreviventes, 13 do sexo masculino. As anomalias congénitas do rim e do trato urinário constituíram a principal causa de doença renal crónica terminal (45%).O início de diálise peritoneal ocorreu em média aos 6,1 meses, em seis casos antes dos 30 dias de vida. A peritonite foi o motivo mais frequente de internamento. Dez crianças foram transplantadas, com idade média de 5,3 anos. Em relação ao crescimento, as quatro crianças que se mantêm em diálise peritoneal têm baixa estatura, mas nove dos transplantados têm uma estatura final dentro do esperado para a sua estatura-alvo familiar. Nove (64%) tiveram alterações no desenvolvimento psicomotor.Discussão: A diálise peritoneal é uma técnica possível e exequível desde o nascimento, tal como evidenciado nesta amostra, em que se iniciou com sucesso em mais de metade das crianças antes dos seis meses de vida. Permite uma sobrevivência a longo prazo até à possibilidade do transplante renal apesar da morbilidade associada, nomeadamente as peritonites e as complicações da doença renal crónica. As dez crianças transplantadas desta amostra melhoraram o seu crescimento, recuperaram da anemia crónica e melhoraram da dislipidémia, comparativamente com o período em diálise. No entanto, o tempo médio de espera até ao TR de 5,3 anos foi superior ao de outros centros internacionais.Conclusão: Estes dados apoiam a utilização da diálise peritoneal desde o nascimento, embora as complicações e o pior crescimento associados reflitam a necessidade de desenvolver estratégias para otimizar nutrição, crescimento e desenvolvimento e reduzir o tempo pré-transplante renal.
Acute Pancreatitis and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Pereira Vítor Magno , Correia Luís Marote , Rodrigues Tiago , Faria Gorete Serrão
Published: October 2016

The posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a neurological syndrome characterized by headache, confusion, visual disturbances and seizures associated with identifiable areas of cerebral edema on imaging studies. The authors report the case of a man, 33 years-old, leukodermic with a history of chronic alcohol and tobacco consumption, who is admitted to the emergency department for epigastric pain radiating to the back and vomiting with about six hours of evolution and an intense holocranial headache for two hours. His physical examination was remarkable for a blood pressure of 190/100 mmHg and tenderness in epigastrium. His analytical results revealed emphasis on amylase 193 U/L and lipase 934 U/L. During the observation in the emergency department,he presented a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed and suggestive of pancreatitis withoutgallstones signals. Head computed tomography showed subarachnoid haemorrhage and a small right frontal cortical haemorrhage. The brain magnetic resonance imaging done one week after admission showed areas of a bilateral and symmetrical T2 / FLAIR hyperintensities in the subcortical white matter of the parietal and superior frontal regions, suggesting a diagnosis of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Abdominal computed tomography (10 days after admission) demonstrated a thickened pancreas in connection with inflammation and two small hypodense foci in the anterior part of the pancreas body, translating small foci of necrosis. The investigation of a thrombophilic defect revealed a heterozygous G20210A prothrombin gene mutation. The patient was discharged without neurological sequelae and asymptomatic. The follow-up brain magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the reversal of the lesions, confirming the diagnosis.
Fiabilidade da Escala de Conhecimento da Diabetes em Portugal
Authors: Azevedo Constança , Santiago Luiz
Published: October 2016

Introdução: Dada a crescente incidência da diabetes tipo 2 e considerando que parte do seu controlo se deve à atitude do pacienteface à doença, torna-se importante munir os profissionais de saúde com ferramentas capazes de determinar as carências educacionais dos utentes, permitindo uma intervenção mais personalizada na correção de hábitos nocivos.Objetivos: Verificação da fiabilidade da Escala de Conhecimentos da Diabetes em Portugal. Análise e correlação das diferentes variáveis sociodemográficas e patológicas com o número de respostas corretas.Material e Métodos: Aplicação da escala a uma amostra de conveniência de diabéticos tipo 2 do Centro de Saúde da Covilhã.Resultados: Na generalidade, as questões obtiveram um valor de alfa de Cronbach > 0,800. Diabéticos com melhores resultados demonstraram maior controlo, estabelecendo uma relação positiva entre o conhecimento e o controlo da diabetes. Apenas 9,2% dos diabéticos apresentou bom conhecimento sobre a doença, sendo que a maioria (65,8%) demonstrou um conhecimento mediano. Os insulinotratados exibiram os piores resultados (77,6% com baixo conhecimento). As variáveis ‘via de tratamento’ e ‘complicações’ demonstraram ter impacto no desempenho obtido no questionário (valores p iguais a 0,00 e 0,048, respetivamente). Os diabéticos rurais, os sem complicações e os não insulinotratados revelaram-se os mais cumpridores e conhecedores.Discussão: Contrariando estudos anteriores, variáveis como a idade e o grau de escolaridade não demonstraram influenciar o conhecimentodo diabético. Habitantes do meio rural e diabéticos tratados oralmente obtiveram melhores resultados do que o que havia sido defendido previamente.Conclusão: Demonstrou-se a fidelidade psicométrica moderada a elevada do teste, assim como uma correlação positiva entre o controloda diabetes e o desempenho no inquérito. Espera-se que a sua futura aplicação possibilite identificar as razões do descontrolo dos diabéticos, permitindo uma atuação mais individualizada pelos profissionais de saúde.
Abordagem e Tratamento da Hiperglicemia Induzida por Glicocorticóides
Authors: Paredes Sílvia , Alves Marta
Published: October 2016

Introdução: Os glicocorticóides associam-se a vários efeitos adversos, entre os quais se destaca uma importante ação diabetogénica. A hiperglicemia induzida pelos glicocorticóides trata-se de uma condição com elevada prevalência e que condiciona importante morbimortalidade.Material e Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura relativa à abordagem e tratamento da hiperglicemia induzida pelos glicocorticóidesResultados: Embora não totalmente esclarecidos, sabe-se que vários mecanismos concorrem de forma sinérgica, propiciando o aparecimentoda hiperglicemia em doentes não diabéticos e o agravamento do controlo glicémico em diabéticos. A hiperglicemia induzida por glicocorticóides apresenta padrões característicos, mais marcada no momento pós-prandial e muito dependente do horário da toma do glicocorticóide. Apesar da existência de normas de orientação gerais para o tratamento da hiperglicemia em doentes em ambulatório e em doentes hospitalizados não críticos, o mesmo não acontece no que diz respeito ao tratamento da hiperglicemia induzida por glicocorticóides. E, de facto, frequentemente é difícil e exigente a abordagem deste tipo de hiperglicemia, sendo necessária uma atuação específica. Esta abordagem depende não só do glicocorticóide em causa, como também da sua dose, frequência e horário de administração. De igual forma, a escolha do esquema de tratamento também depende do tipo de terapêutica previamente usado.Discussão e Conclusão: Os autores fizeram uma revisão do tema, congregando e definindo linhas orientadoras para o tratamento dahiperglicemia induzida por glicocorticóides, em doentes diabéticos e não diabéticos, em regime de ambulatório ou internamento, queserão úteis em diferentes contextos e transversalmente às diversas especialidades.

Kinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. New York: Penguin. 2009. Print. I like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I also like to read novels, comics, and other kinds of books. I enjoy reading because I like art a lot and that’s what I enjoy most in books besides the characters and how they look. My favorite type of books are comics. I also like to draw the characters from my favorite books. Such as... Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, spider man from the Avenger's comic, Finn from Adventure Time, Mr. K from Captain Underpants, and Smiley Bone from the BONE series. I wish I could draw some of them but pencils don't work on computers. That would just wreck the screen. But enough about that. I'm just here to talk about my current book that I'm reading. It's called Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. It’s a very green colored book. I like to read that book when I'm at home.  Recommended Reviewer: EthanMy name is Ethan. I am 12 years old.

La muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia michx) et sa culture aux Etats-Unis
Authors: Bouquet Alain
Published: October 2016

La Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia Michx), dont la culture est limitée à quelques milliers d'hectares dans le Sud-Est des Etats-Unis, est certainement l'espèce du genre Vitis la plus originale, par ses caractéristiques morphologiques, anatomiques, biologiques et génétiques.

C'est avec Vitis vinifera, la seule espèce pure de vigne qui soit cultivée à l'échelle commerciale pour ses fruits. Les principaux aspects de cette viticulture sont passés en revue.

L'une des caractéristiques les plus intéressantes de la Muscadine est sa résistance élevée à de nombreux parasites qui justifie son utilisation actuelle dans les programmes d'amélioration génétique de la vigne en Europe et en Californie.

+++

The Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia Michx), the cultivation of which is limited a few thousand acres in the South-East of the U.S.A., is certainly the most original species of the Vitis genus, for its morphological, anatomical, biological and genetic characteristics.

Together with Vitis vinifera, it is the only pure species of vine cultivated on a commercial scale for its fruit. The main aspects of this viticulture are reviewed.

One of the most interesting characteristics of the Muscadine is its great resistance to numerous parasites which justifies its present use in programmes for the genetic improvement of the vine in Europe and California.
Utilisation pratique des traitements thermiques pour la stabilisation microbiologique des vins doux
Authors: Devèze Michel , Ribéreau-Gayon Pascal
Published: October 2016

Les conditions de l'obtention de la stabilisation thermique des vins doux et de leur conservation stérile ont éte décrites les résultats débouchent sur une proposition d'organisation du travail du chai, de la fin de la vinification jusqu'à la mise en bouteilles stérile.

On a pu ainsi conserver des vins de la récolte 1976 sans dépasser 30 mg/l de SO2 libre, dose nécessaire pour éviter des oxydations ; l'économie correspondante de SO2 total était en moyenne de 60 ou 125 mg/l, par rapport a la conservation avec respectivement, 50 ou 80 mg/l de SO2 libre.

+++

The conditions necessary to obtain the thermal stabilization of sweet wines and their sterile storage have been described; the results lead to a proposal of work organization in the cellar, from the end of vinification until sterile bottling.

It has thus been possible to keep wines from the 1976 vintage without exceeding 30 mg/l of free SO2, the necessary amount to avoid oxidations ; the corresponding saving of total SO2 was on average 60 or 125 mg/l, in comparison with the conservation which contained, respectively, 50 or 80 mg/l of free SO2.

Transmission de la flavescence dorée par greffage en vert et présence du « Corky-Bark » sur un cépage corse (Nielluccio) Scaphoideus littoralis Ball., vecteur possible de cette maladie
Authors: Hévin M. , Moutous Gilberte , Fos André
Published: October 2016

A la suite d'essais de transmission de la Flavescence dorée par cicadelles, nous avons observé sur les clones d'un cépage corse (Nielluccio), d'une part des pantes présentant les symptômes typiques de la maladie, et d'autre part des pantes avec des symptômes atypiques. Ces dernières ont été indexées par greffage en vert sur l'indicateur LN 33. Les symptômes observés alors sont analogues à ceux du « Corky-Bark ».

Des tentatives de transmission du « Corky-Bark » par cicadelles (Scaphoideus littoralis) sont en cours, en vue de préciser la nature encore inconnue de l'agent vecteur de cette virose.

+++

Following transmission tests to obtain a golden-yellow flavescence by « cicadells », we observed on clones of a Corsican grape variety (Nielluccio), on the one hand plants showing the typical symptoms of the disease and on the other hand plants with untypical symptoms. The latter were indexed by green grafting under the indicator LN 33. The symptoms then observed are similar to those of « Corky-Bark ». by cicadells (Scaphoideus littoralis).

Attempts to transmit « Corky-Bark » are in progress with a view to specifying the still unknown nature of this virus disease.

Les vins les plus réputés de la région viticole de Pomerol et Saint-Emilion sont produits sur des sols foncièrement différents, dérivant de roches mères présentant une grande diversité.

Les variations que l'on peut noter d'un cru à l'autre sont liées, non pas aux caractéristiques chimiques de ces sols, mais surtout à leurs propriétés physiques (texture, structure, porosité, perméabilité) avec leurs conséquences sur le mode et la profondeur de l'enracinement.

The most famous wines from the wine-growing region of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion are produced on fundamentally different soils, derived from mother rocks presenting a great diversity.

The variations which can be noted from one growth to another are linked, not to the chemical characteristics of these soils, but above all to their physical properties (texture, structure, porosity, permeability) with their consequences on the manner and depth of the rooting.
Etude de l'adaptation de nouvelles variétés de porte-greffes à des sols très chlorosants *
Authors: Pouget Roger , Ottenwaelter M.
Published: October 2016

L'expérimentation des nouvelles variétés de porte-greffes, obtenues par hybridation à la Station de Recherches de Viticuiture de Bordeaux, est mise en place dans des zones où l'indice de pouvoir chlorosant (I.P.C.) atteint des valeurs très élevées. L'intensité des symptômes de chlorose est notée avec précision, pour chaque plante, durant une période au moins égale à 5 ans.

Les résultats enregistrés sur plusieurs parcelles expérimentales implantées dans les principales régions du vignoble francais, montrent le très bon comportement vis-à-vis de la chlorose calcaire d'une nouvelle variété de porte-greffe. Cette variété, dénommée FERCAL, possède une résistance à la chlorose supérieure à celle de tous les porte-greffes connus. Elle va être cultivée dans les vignobles les plus chlorosants qui sont situés généralement dans des zones productrices d'une qualité élevée.

Experimentation with new varieties of stock, obtained by hybridization at the Bordeaux Station of Viticultural Research, is carried out in zones where the index of chlorosing power (I.P.C.) reaches very high levels. The intensity of the symptoms of chlorosis is noted with precision, for each plant, during a period of at least 5 years.

The results recorded on several experimental plots located in the main wine-growing regions of France, show the very good behaviour with regard to calcareous chlorosis of a new variety of stock. This variety, called FERCAL, has a greater resistance to chlorosis than all other known stock. It is going to be cultivated in the most chlorosing regions which are generally situated in areas producing a high quality.

Etude de l'influence des produits de traitement de la vigne sur la microflore des raisins et des vins. Experimentation 1977. Comparaison avec les résultats de 1976 et 1975

Published: October 2016

Dans ce travail on étudie l'influence de quelques produits anti-Botrytis sur la microflore des raisins et des vins (levures et bactéries).

Utilisés seuls, le Ronilan et le Sumisclex n'ont que peu d'influence alors que l'Euparène perturbe la fermentation et modifie les teneurs des vins en substances volatiles.

Utilisés en association, le Cuprosan, le Mycodifol et l'Euparène gênent la fermentation, peut-être en raison de la sécheresse lors des vendanges 1977 qui a laissé intacte la rémanence des produits ; de telles conditions climatiques apparaissent d'importance majeure en ce qui concerne l'influence des fongicides utilisés pour traiter la vigne sur la microflore des raisins et des vins.

This work is a study of the influence of several anti-Botrytis products on the grape and wine microflora (yeasts and bacteria).

Ronilan and Sumisclex alone have only a slight influence whereas Euparène affects the fermentation and the quantities of volatile substances of the wine.

Used together, Cuprosam Mycodifol and Euparène inhibite fermentation possibly besause the drynesse of the 1977 vintage had left the remainder of these products intact. Such climatic conditions appear of major importance from the points of view of the influence of the fungicides used to treat vines on the microflora of grapes and wines.
Analysis of the simulated global temperature using a simple energy balance stochastic model
Authors: Moreles Efrain , Martínez-López Benjamín
Published: October 2016

This work presents a study of the response of the simulated global temperature variability to additive and multiplicative stochastic parameterizations of heat fluxes, along with a description of the long-term variability in terms of simple autoregressive processes. The Earth’s global temperature was simulated using a globally averaged energy balance climate model coupled to a thermodynamic ocean model. It was found that simple autoregressive processes explain the temperature variability in the case of additive parameterizations; whereas in the case of multiplicative parameterizations, the description of the temperature variability would involve higher order autoregressive processes, suggesting the presence of complex feedback mechanisms originated by the multiplicative forcing. Also, it was found that multiplicative parameterizations produced a rich structure that emulates closely observed climate processes. Finally, a new approach to describe the stability in the steady state of a general one-dimensional stochastic system, through its potential function, was proposed. From an analytical expression of the potential function, further insight into the description of a stochastic system was provided.
Indoor PM10 and its heavy metal composition at a roadside residential environment, Phitsanulok, Thailand
Authors: Srithawirat Thunwadee , Latif Mohd Talib , Sulaiman Fazrul Razman
Published: October 2016

The concentrations of PM10 were measured both indoors and outdoors at 10 roadside residential buildings in Phitsanulok, Thailand during the dry and wet seasons of 2014. Seven trace metals (Zn, Fe, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu and Cr) were also analysed in PM10. The monthly average concentrations of indoor and outdoor PM10 were 41.5 to 105.3 μg m–3 and 95.2 to 145.1 μg m–3, respectively. PM10 concentrations were significantly higher during the dry season compared to the wet season. The indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios were less than one indicating that the particulate matter originates from the outdoor environment. Overall, the average concentrations of heavy metals in PM10 ranged from 0.2 to 2.7 μg m–3 and 0.5 to 7.1 μg m–3 for the indoor and outdoor environments, respectively. A strong positive correlation in indoor PM10 was found between Zn and Cu, Zn and Ni, and Cu and Ni. Zn and Ni, Pb and Cu, Cu and Ni, Cd and Ni, and Zn and Cu showed strong positive correlations in the outdoor environment. The enrichment factors of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr and Ni were less than one suggesting that the metals in indoor PM10 have originated from crustal materials. For the health risk assessment, Cr was found to have the highest excess cancer risk in an evaluation using an Integrated Risk Information System.
A method for convective storm detection using satellite data
Authors: Pinto da Silva Neto Carlos , Alves Barbosa Humberto , Assis Beneti Cesar Augustus
Published: October 2016

Moisture and instability, along with a triggering mechanism, are the main keys of deep convective storms initiation and evolution. Satellite data can provide indirect measurements of instability and moisture of a wide area in short periods of time. This paper studies the use of an objective method based on a blended use of multiple satellite-based convection estimation techniques. This method is based on different techniques arranged in a several layers approach of different convective features, aiming to stratify a cloud shield. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) infrared (IR) 10.8 μm and water vapor (WV) 6.2 μm channels are explored together with tropopause temperature information provided by a numerical model. Threshold, brightness temperature differences (BTD), and time trends are applied to the information available resulting in a five layers product, highlighting areas of different convective activities. This cloud shield stratification method showed a great ability to better evaluate strong convection when compared with simpler techniques such as IR false color, and was especially useful to better identify the strongest convective cell in a large area with several convective outbreaks. A validation analysis was conducted using radar and lightning data, showing that this approach is very helpful in distinguishing very strong cases from weaker ones by pointing out subtle convective patterns only present in severe storms. Also, small changes in storm evolution were more pronounced in the method output. Besides some uncertainties that were observed, likely due to the large viewing angle, techniques derived from MSG spectral bands displayed good accuracy in studying large convective systems in the South America southern region.

We have reviewed liquefaction-induced damage to reclaimed ground, levees and industrial complexes, caused by the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake. Then, we reconsidered the method of the prediction of liquefaction and estimated liquefaction at Urayasu housing area using a new liquefaction prediction method based on dynamic numerical liquefaction analysis of the ground. We also clarified the feature of the damage of levee due to the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake based on the dynamic liquefaction analysis and listed the lessons taught by the analyses and the damages due to the 2011 Tohoku Great Earthquake are shown.

Characteristics of long-period seismic ground motion and response of tall buildings are investigated in this paper to promote earthquake proof countermeasures considering the damage caused by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. 3D finite difference method and the reciprocal theorem are used to examine the effect of sedimentary basin structures on seismic wave amplification. Natural period and damping of tall buildings are evaluated by ambient vibration tests and earthquake response observation during construction or demolition of the buildings. The effects of dynamic soil-structure interaction on response amplification of tall buildings are confirmed applying wave propagation theory to a continuum building model. Finally, a newly built base-isolated building with an isolated rooftop laboratory is introduced for full-scale long-period shaking experiment by installing actuators and jacks. Experience of long-period shaking in the building is also available with virtual reality view of indoor damage, which is effective for promotion of seismic countermeasures such as fixing furniture and safe evacuation.

It is important to extract, clarify, and share the lessons learned from disasters to enhance preparedness for and effective responses in a disaster. This paper aims to describe the development of a web database system to share lessons learned by disaster science experts based on experiences of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake Disaster. First, an interview survey was conducted with local government officers in areas identified as being at risk during the Nankai Trough Earthquake to identify their needs. Next, we reported on the use of the system for three months after its release based on analyses of access log data.

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. Tohoku region, off the coast of the Pacific Ocean, was severely damaged by the tsunami, and all of Japan was affected. Recently, torrential and guerrilla rains have been frequently occurring in Uji, Kyoto, which suffered massive damage on August 13, 2013. Soma, Fukushima, and Uji made tremendous efforts for supporting victims’ recovery by using spatial information and GIS. These successful efforts indicate that they had been using spatial information efficiently in their daily operations.

This paper describes the learnings from the past efforts in disaster affected areas and discusses how these areas had been using spatial information for efficient daily operations. The paper makes suggestions to build a GIS-based information system with seamless interaction between daily operations and disaster management, and introduces new challenges faced by Kitakyushu, Fukuoka using spatial information based on cloud computing network for regional disaster resilient societies.
