Objective: This research aims to investigate what soft skills affect the performance of employees at Hotels for their sustainable growth in China. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 8, promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study’s underpinning theory was derived from the Lippman, Ryberg, Carney and Moore (2015) model of key softskills.
 
Method: This study adopts convenience sampling and analyzes the data from 158 questionnaires distributed through SPSS. The analysis results will find out the more important and useful skills in hotels. This study was conducted at the Guizhou Province, China using online survey. Three soft skills of communication, negotiation, and leadership were tested to be positively correlated with the performance of hotel employees.
 
Results and Discussion: This research also allowed us to identify which soft skills are most important to a team to enable the overall team to succeed.  This research can provide a reference for the human resource management of hotels to plan the soft skill development training of employees.
More and more companies realize that employees are one of the important factors for the company’s further development. If you want to develop better in the information age, you must have a group of outstanding employees. Therefore, the training plan to improve employee performance is a relatively important work in human resource management. Hard skills are just our visible professional and technical indicators, while soft skills are invisible indicators, and they are also a scale to measure a person's ability to handle things.
 
Research Implications: Academic implication sees the use of Lippman et al (2015) model in underpin the variables related in the study of employee performance and soft skills. Practical implication include to emphasize the role of negotiation skills foe the employee performance.
 
Originality/Value: This study provide insight on the role of negotiation skill in increasing the employee performance in the hospitality industry in China.

Blockchain technology is most commonly utilized in the digital currency industry. The distributed and decentralized nature of blockchain technology aids in resolving several problems with knowledge processing security, transparency, trust, and dependability in businesses and organizations. Blockchain is a decentralized, peer-to-peer ledger or database that can be used safely with cryptocurrencies to manage all online transactions. Every node that updates its ledger to confirm a new node before adding it to the blockchain does so by updating the ledger with any modifications made. The most recent version of this ledger is then broadcast around the network. The collection of all transactions carried out by different users is known as the blockchain ledger or database. In its most basic form, a blockchain is a distributed ledger that keeps track of individual transactions in a tamper-proof manner. Each block in the chain is linked to the others in a linked list, and each block contains a timestamp and a link to a previous block that provides security. This manuscript will review the many forms of blockchain, how they function, and how they support cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin

The digital Ecosystem is a multifaceted network that includes social media, e-commerce, socio-commerce, and gaming, where each component influences the others. Social media, for instance, has fostered the growth of socio-commerce by merging social interactions with commercial activities. This research explores the dynamics within this Platform, focusing on factors that drive Purchase intentions, particularly among the Alpha Generation, who are growing up in a digital-first world. The study finds that Attitude, Flow Experience, and Subjective Norms all significantly affect Purchase intentions. Among these, Attitude is the most influential, highlighting how consumers' emotions, feelings, and beliefs shape their Purchase decisions. This is especially important for the Alpha Generation, who are deeply embedded in digital culture and highly influenced by their online experiences. The significance of Flow Experience, which refers to the enjoyment and engagement during the Purchase process, emphasizes the need for a positive shopping experience to enhance purchase intentions. Additionally, Subjective Norms, or the impact of societal expectations and social pressures, play a crucial role in consumer decision-making, particularly for the socially connected Alpha Generation. The research quantitative approach and correlational design, confirms that these factors are key determinants of Purchase intention, aligning with existing consumer behavior theories. The study's sample of 115 participants met the required criteria, ensuring reliable and valid findings.
Monkeypox- need for Vigilant Health system and Regulations towards a Global Health Threat
Authors: Jain Seema
Published: September 2024

A viral illness caused by the monkey pox virus, monkeypox is now known as Mpox. It is a zoonotic infectious disease causing painful rash, enlarged lymph nodes, fever, headache, muscle ache, backpain and low energy.
According to WHO, most cases in 2022 were in Africa but later m-pox was reported from USA, Europe Australia & Canada. Mpox continues to be a threat today, with upsurge of cases in Democratic Republic of Congo and other countries in Africa. Since 2022, there has also been an upsurge in mpox cases and deaths in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Over 120 countries have reported mpox between Jan 2022-Aug 2024, with over 1,00,000 laboratory-confirmed cases reported and over 220 deaths among confirmed cases. In India, MoHFW reported 30 cases in the last 2022 outbreak, with last case occurring in March 2024.
 
The monkeypox virus was discovered in Denmark (1958) in monkeys kept for research. The first reported human case of mpox was a nine-month-old boy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1970). Mpox steadily emerged in central, east and west Africa following the eradication of smallpox in 1980 and the end of smallpox vaccination worldwide. In 2003, there was an outbreak in the United States of America, linked to imported wild animals. Since 2005, thousands of cases are reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo every year.
In May 2022, an outbreak of mpox appeared suddenly and rapidly spread across Europe, the Americas and then all six WHO regions including refugee camps in the Republic of the Sudan.

Published: September 2024

Background: Mass media significantly contributes to the dissemination of scientific information, including health information on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, national programs, and government schemes. Aims and objectives: To identify the number of news articles related to health in 4 regional newspapers and to classify the news items in terms of type of disease/ health issue covered. Methodology: Four leading newspapers were reviewed to identify the health-related news, their importance in terms of location in the newspaper, and the type of health issue covered. These were further classified based on the level of evidence used. Results: We extracted 720 health-related articles; 411 in English and 309 in Kannada dailies. The English newspaper had maximum coverage on environment 95 (23.1%) and health advisories 60 (14.5%). The Kannada papers on the other hand were dominated by health advisories 65 (21%), followed by nutrition and fitness 48 (15.3%), and environment 40 (12.9%). After the articles were categorized according to their evidence, it was discovered that 92% of them were evidence-based, with 84% of those articles based on Grade-II evidence. Conclusion: Health news in newspapers varies, often focusing on environment and health advisories, and relies heavily on expert opinion rather than empirical data.

Spurious Accelerations in Finite Element Analysis of Geotechnical Problems: Cause and Remedy
Authors: Chavan Dhanaji
Published: September 2024

Present study investigates the response of the two distinct geotechnical problems under earthquake loading. These two problems are: 1) nailed soil slope and 2) 1-D site response analysis. The aim of the study is to understand the cause of spurious accelerations and suggest a remedy. Two distinct interface conditions were considered in modelling the nailed soil slope. In first, the soil nail interface was considered to be perfectly bonded. In second case, the sliding at the interface was allowed. The analysis resulted into the physically acceptable deformations. However, the dumbbell shaped spurious acceleration pattern was observed in perfect bonding case. Further, the maximum acceleration was found to span from 4 g to 13 g. Such extremely high accelerations are unphysical and hence, unacceptable. In case of 1-D site response analysis, misleading acceleration spike of magnitude twice that of true acceleration was noted. The introduction of the numerical damping successfully removed the spurious accelerations and resulted in physically acceptable response for both problems.

Authors: Çelik Tunçer Seldanur , Tanır Kayıkçı Emine
Published: September 2024

Küresel Navigasyon Uydu Sistemi - Radyo Okültasyon (GNSS-RO), hava olaylarının tahmin edilmesi ve iklimsel değişimlerin izlenmesi için önemli potansiyele sahip uzay tabanlı bir gözlem tekniğidir. GNSS-RO tekniğinde, yüksek yörüngedeki uydulardan iletilen radyo sinyaller, alçak yörüngedeki uydulara yerleştirilmiş alıcılar tarafından ölçülür. GNSS alıcılarında kaydedilen radyo sinyaller, atmosferik geri kazanım süreçlerine göre işlenerek sıcaklık, basınç, su buharı ve elektron yoğunluğu gibi profiller elde edilir. GNSS-RO tekniği, kalibrasyon gereksinimi olmadan her türlü hava koşulunda çalışabilir. Ayrıca, küresel kapsama alanında yüksek dikey çözünürlükte zengin veriler sağlar. GPS, Galileo ve GLONASS gibi uydulardan sinyal alabilen FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 uyduları, 〖±45〗^° enlem bölgesinde günlük 4000'den fazla yüksek kaliteli RO ölçümü sağlayabilir. 2019 yılında alçak yörüngeye başarıyla fırlatılan bu uydunun ana hedeflerinden biri, alt ve orta troposferde GNSS-RO ölçüm kalitesini artırmak olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 RO ile elde edilen atmosferik profilleri değerlendirmek ve doğrulamak için radyosonda profillerinden yararlanılmıştır. Karşılaştırmada, 5-25 km arasında değişen irtifalardaki sıcaklık, su buharı basıncı, özgül nem ve kırınım profilleri esas alınmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, RO ve radyosonda profilleri arasında iyi bir uyum gözlenmiştir.
New strategic initiatives of China to integrate the Greater Central Asia space
Authors: Матвеев В.А.
Published: September 2024

Статья исходит из того, что развивающийся мировой экономический кризис имеет существенные геополитические причины. Он оказывает значимое деструктивное влияние на развитие стран Евразии. Страны постсоветского пространства ведут поиск дополнительных источников и стимулов экономического роста, среди которых весомым является продолжающийся процесс евразийской интеграции. Одним из основных мотивов реализации инициативы “Пояс и путь” (ИПП), наряду с инфраструктурными интересами Китая, становится нацеленность КНР на региональную интеграцию, прежде всего с соседями. Из-за особого геостратегического положения Синьцзян-Уйгурского автономного района КНР (СУАР КНР) на границе с Центрально-Азиатским регионом и Средним Востоком ему предназначена особая роль в развитии ИПП. Китай стремится придать ряд дополнительных импульсов экономическому и социальному развитию СУАР. В статье анализируются особенности и новации экспериментальной зоны свободной торговли, создаваемой в Синьцзяне с 2023 г. Основной вывод статьи заключается в том, что в трансграничной китайско-центральноазиатской полосе начинают складываться предпосылки для формирования экономического пояса роста, что в долгосрочной перспективе делает возможным создание международного экономического региона.

The article proceeds from the fact that the developing global economic crisis has significant geopolitical reasons. It has a significant destructive impact on the development of Eurasian countries. The countries of the post-Soviet space are searching for additional sources and incentives for economic growth, among which the ongoing process of Eurasian integration is significant. One of the main motives for the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), along with China’s infrastructure interests, is the PRC’s focus on regional integration, primarily with its neighbors. Due to the special geostrategic position of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China (XUAR of the People's Republic of China) on the border with the Central Asian region and the Middle East, it has a special role in the development of the BRI. China is striving to give a number of additional impetuses to the economic and social development of the XUAR. The article analyzes the features and innovations of the experimental free trade zone created in Xinjiang from 2023. The main conclusion of the article is that in the cross-border Chinese-Central Asian zone, the prerequisites for the formation of an economic growth belt are beginning to take shape, which in the long term makes it possible to create an international economic region.

Published: September 2024

Ухудшение экологической ситуации в мире привлекает внимание мирового сообщества, заставляет искать и применять новые решения в области науки и техники с целью адаптации к сложившейся ситуации. Китай, будучи мировым лидером по объемам выбросов парниковых газов в атмосферу, активно оптимизирует свою энергетическую стратегию, стимулируя развитие возобновляемых источников энергии. В статье оценивается результативность курса Китая на постепенный энергетический переход как элемент экологической политики страны. Определятся соответствие текущего состояния энергетического перехода экологическим целям Китая, в том числе закреп­лённым в международных соглашениях. Рассматриваются внешнеполитические аспекты экологической политики Китая, в частности — позиционирование КНР на мировом рынке альтернативной энергии. По мнению авторов статьи, стратегия, выбранная КНР в движении по пути энергетического перехода, преследует не столько экологические цели, сколько геополитические: она позволяет КНР занять лидирующие позиции на рынке возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ) и снизить геополитические риски, связанные с зависимостью от импорта традиционного топлива.

The deterioration of the environmental situation in the world attracts the attention of the world community, forcing it to look for and apply new solutions in the field of science and technology in order to adapt to the current situation. China, being the world leader in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, is actively optimizing its energy strategy, stimulating the development of renewable energy sources. The article evaluates the effectiveness of China's policy towards a gradual energy transition as an element of the country's environmental policy. The compliance of the current state of the energy transition with China’s environmental goals, including those fixes in international agreements, is determined. The foreign policy aspects of China's environmental policy are considered, in particular the positioning of China in the global alternative energy market. According to the authors of the article, the strategy chosen by China in moving along the path of energy transition does not pursue environmental goals, but pursues geopolitical goals — it allows China to take a leading position in the renewable energy market and reduce the geopolitical risks associated with dependence on imports of traditional fuel.

Особое внимание в статье уделено анализу содержания документа “Предложение Китайской Народной Республики о реформе и развитии глобального управления”, обнародованного МИД КНР 13 сентября 2023 г. с целью детализации прежних глобальных инициатив председателя КНР Си Цзиньпина и МИД КНР, и выпущенных Информационным бюро Госсовета КНР двух новых Белых книг: “Глобальное сообщество общего будущего: предложения и действия Китая” (26 сентября 2023 г.) и “Инициатива “Пояс и путь”: ключевой столп глобального сообщества общего будущего” (10 октября 2023 г.). В статье также характеризуются оценки этих документов рядом зарубежных экспертов. В числе основных выводов данной научно-исследовательской разработки (НИР) можно привести положение о крайней желательности создания в структуре РАН и/или других заинтересованных инстанций сети научно-исследовательских лабораторий не только по прогнозированию, но и системному моделированию параметров нового складывющегся мироустройства.

The article pays particular attention to the analysis of the content of the document titled “The Proposal of the People's Republic of China on the Reform and Development of Global Governance”, published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China on September 13, 2023 in order to detail the previous global initiatives of the President of the PRC Xi Jinping and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, as well as issued by the Information Bureau of the State Council of the People's Republic of China two new White Papers “A Global Community for a Shared Future: China's Proposals and Actions” (September 26, 2023) and “The Belt and Road Initiative: A Key Pillar of a Global Community for a Shared Future” (October 10, 2023). The article also characterizes the assessments of these documents by a number of foreign experts. Among the main conclusions of this research development is the provision on the extreme desirability of creating within the structure of the Russian Academy of Sciences and/or other interested authoritative bodies a network of research laboratories not only for forecasting, but also for systematic modeling of the parameters of a new, emerging world order.
Dinámica sedimentaria de playa sobre un afloramiento patrimonial del Pleistoceno: la superficie de pisadas de El Pichilín (Almonte, Huelva).

Published: September 2024

Trabajos recientes han descrito una superficie con abundantes icnitas al noroeste de la playa de Matalascañas (Almonte, Huelva). En esta superficie se descubrieron decenas de huellas humanas y cientos de huellas de otros vertebrados. El afloramiento donde se encuentra la citada superficie tiene una edad Pleistoceno y se ubica en la zona intermareal de la playa, viéndose afectado por la dinámica costera. La playa se desarrolla sobre la plataforma de abrasión de un acantilado arenoso. El descubrimiento se produjo tras un período de tormentas coincidentes con mareas muertas. En estas condiciones, las olas de la tormenta erosionaron la playa y arrastraron la arena a zonas más profundas de la costa. Sin embargo, tormentas posteriores coincidentes con mareas altas vivas atacaron la base del acantilado, proporcionando un gran volumen de arena que volvió a enterrar las huellas y contribuyó a su conservación. Este trabajo estudia la dinámica de la arena bajo diferentes situaciones de mareas y oleaje, estableciendo las condiciones que contribuyen a una mejor preservación del afloramiento patrimonial.

Published: September 2024

The dynamics of beaches encompass complex mechanisms in sediment transport, which are contingent on the heterogeneous nature of sands. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for morphodynamic modeling. This study conducted a thorough analysis of the vertical granulometric distribution of sediments on the bed, relying on laboratory experiments carried out in a wave flume and employing a laser particle counter. The bed was covered with sand mixtures obtained from two well-sorted grain-size fractions: a fine sediment (F) with a median diameter of 0.21 mm and a coarse sediment (C) with a median diameter of 0.58 mm. As observed in the experiments analyzed in this study, the initially homogeneous bed composition undergoes changes, illustrating a trend toward coarsening in the majority of the layers.
Clientes web interactivos (geovisores y dasboard) para la exploración y difusión web de datos masivos de riesgos costeros
Authors: OJEDA ZUJAR José , PRIETO CAMPOS ANTONIO , SANCHEZ RODRIGUEZ ESPERANZA , VALLEJO VILLALTA ISMAEL
Published: September 2024

En la actualidad proliferan los estudios y análisis sobre riesgos costeros que generan un importante volumen de datos (big data, open data, modelización, etc.), difíciles de difundir e interpretar correctamente por su carácter masivo. Los medios de difusión clásicos (publicaciones, cartografía, etc) presentan por ello muchas limitaciones y en los últimos años se han ido implantando para su difusión geovisores web que solventan algunos de ellos (posibilidad de visualización a varias escalas, acceso a información temática, etc.). Por otra parte, las nuevas funcionalidades de los clientes (html5, librerías JavaScript, openGL, Canvas, etc.) ofrecen hoy una excelente vía para la correcta difusión e, incluso, la exploración interactiva de estos datos masivos. El objetivo de esta comunicación es presentar los resultados de dos clientes web sobre riesgos costeros (tasas de erosión en playas expuestas - toda la costa de Andalucía- e inundación del nivel medio del mar –costa occidental de Huelva-) haciendo uso de estos nuevos recursos web en la forma geovisores/dashboards donde, a las funcionalidades de geovisualización clásicas, se han incorporado nuevas funcionalidades orientadas a la exploración interactiva de los usuarios con los datos originales, constituyendo con ello no solo una herramienta de difusión, sino una herramienta de trabajo para especialistas. Para ello se ha utilizado la plataforma cloud de CARTO.
DISTRIBUCIÓN DE FRECUENCIAS DE LA SUPERFICIE DE LA PLAYA EMERGIDA BASADA EN DATOS DIARIOS DURANTE DÉCADAS (2001-2022)
Authors: Guillén Aranda Jorge , Simarro Grande Gonzalo
Published: September 2024

La posición de la línea de costa es altamente dinámica y responde a mecanismos que actúan bajo diferentes escalas temporales. En este trabajo se hipotetiza que la distribución de frecuencias de la posición de la línea de costa (o el área emergida) de una playa tenderá a tener una distribución nor mal o Gaussiana y será diferente en función de la configuración de la playa y de su evolución a largo plazo (estable, erosión o progradación). Para verificar esta hipótesis se utilizan datos masivos de la posición de la línea de costa en dos playas de la ciudad de Barcelona obtenidos a partir de imágenes horarias durante el período 2001-2022. Los resultados indican que en períodos en los que la línea de costa es relativamente estable la distribución de frecuencias se aproxima a una distribución normal o Gaussiana. En períodos con una tendencia erosiva la distribución tiene una asimetría negativa, mientras que los cambios en las estructuras de protección de la playa, las regeneraciones artificiales o los efectos de los grandes temporales provocan saltos en la distribución de frecuencias. Se discuten todos estos cambios y se destacan las ventajas de utilizar en los estudios a medio largo plazo un rango para representar la posición de la línea de costa.
Material particulado en las marismas de la Bahía de Cádiz: Tasas de acumulación y composición orgánica
Authors: Benavente Javier , Galindo Maria , Peralta Gloria , Vergara Juan José , Yamuza Alba
Published: September 2024

Las marismas proporcionan importantes servicios ecosistémicos, como la protección contra inundaciones costeras y el entierro de carbono azul. Un proceso clave para la supervivencia de estos sistemas ante el aumento del nivel del mar es la captura de material particulado (MP), pero pocos trabajos han cuantificado previamente este proceso. Este trabajo cuantifica y caracteriza la estacionalidad y naturaleza del MP depositado en las marismas de la Bahía de Cádiz. Los resultados sugieren que la tasa de deposición de PM en las marismas de la Bahía de Cádiz está muy relacionada con la elevación y la estación del año. La tasa de deposición disminuye con el aumento de la elevación y los valores son más altos en primavera que en invierno. El contenido de materia orgánica (%MO) del MP depositado muestra el patrón opuesto, con un aumento del %MO con la elevación y valores más altos en invierno que en primavera. Estos resultados aportan las primeras pruebas sobre la posible importancia del material particulado alóctono en el entierro de C azul en las marismas de la Bahía de Cádiz
Hacia un plan de gestión sostenible del frente costero de Matalascañas (Almonte, Huelva)
Authors: Morales González Juan Antonio , Sedrati Mouncef , Rodríguez Ramírez Antonio , Morales Luis Alfonso
Published: September 2024

En el contexto del cambio climático, la vulnerabilidad de los sistemas costeros está aumentando, amenazando propiedades, infraestructuras e incluso vidas humanas. Ante esta situación, los gestores se han apoyado tradicionalmente en métodos de protección convencionales (diques, espigones, ropeolas, escolleras) para defenderse del mar. Sin embargo, estas intervenciones ya no son suficientes: son sólo una solución temporal, sistemáticamente asociada con la alteración de la dinámica sedimentaria natural, y los costes de mantenimiento podrían llegar a ser irracionalmente altos. Este es el caso del litoral de Matalascañas aquí estudiado, que en uno de sus tramos ha sufrido una intensa urbanización asociada a la pérdida de su cordón dunar. La instalación de una serie de espigones para reducir la erosión de los sedimentos y el riesgo de inmersión marina ha demostrado ser una política de gestión ineficaz. En este artículo, proponemos un nuevo modelo de desarrollo combinado basado en una solución basada en la naturaleza (reconstrucción de una duna litoral) combinada con una reurbanización ecológica y adaptativa en la fachada del tramo urbanizado.
On the use of high space-time resolution satellite videos to infer bathymetries
Authors: Marco-Peretó Candela , Simarro Gonzalo , Calvete Daniel , Durán Ruth , Palombo-Blascetta Nicola , Guillén Jorge
Published: September 2024

Remote sensing has become an effective tool for acquiring coastal data over the last decades. Algorithms, such as cBathy or UBathy, have enabled the derivation of bathymetries through the observed wave propagation using videos from, for example, fixed stations or drones. In this work, we explore the potential use of these techniques for satellite video. For this purpose, departing from uBathy, the nearshore bathymetry at Castelldefels beach (Barcelona) has been estimated using three 45-seconds satellite videos captured at 10 fps and with a spatial resolution of 1 pixel per meter. The results were compared against those of the fixed video monitoring station at Castelldefels beach (coo.icm.csic.es). Additionally, an echo sounder bathymetric survey is used as Ground Truth for validation. The obtained bathymetries from a single satellite video, with favourable wave conditions, are considered successful and almost equivalent to those obtained using 10-minute fixed station videos.

The rocky coast of the Prebetic System (southeast Iberian Peninsula) presents a marked tecto-structural control and by subaerial processes. The objective of this study is the morphometric characterization of this rocky coast. The analysis of the digital elevation model (2x2 m grid resolution) obtained from LIDAR, combined with the geological map, field work and review of previous studies, allows the identification and morphometric characterization of 271 geomorphological units, which mainly include stretches of high or medium cliffs, intercepted by numerous gullies (some of them hanging), stretches of low rocky coastline associated in many cases with Upper Pleistocene (5e) coastal deposits, and coastal plains of fluvial valleys, as well as some coastal lagoon, tombolo, islands, alluvial fan and a arheic basin. The high and medium cliffs show a smoothed profile in their upper section, evidencing the action of fluvial runoff and karstic erosion. The erosive action of waves is evidenced mainly in the formation of shore platforms, mapped and their minimum area determined from satellite images.

Double and triple tombolos are rare on Holocene coasts. It has been proposed that the double tombolo of Calpe has existed since the Upper Pleistocene. The aim of this work is to demonstrate, map and deduce the implications of the existence of this double tombolo in the Upper Pleistocene. The analysis of high-resolution bathymetry and seabed classes mapping, complemented with field work, has allowed mapping the presence of a submerged bar of a calcarenite with abundant ooid forms 2-km long and with a crest depth between 3 and 4 m, separated from the present shore by a depression with a maximum of 6 m. The bimodal wave regime facilitated the formation first of this northern tombolo and later or synchronously formed the western tombolo, leaving the lagoon in its interior. The analysis of this and other double tombolos leads to define them as a new model of convergent paired spits, different from the genesis of the simple tombolos. In the submerged zone, previously unmapped faults have also been identified.
Numerical and geomorphic approach to the characterization of tsunami deposits on the southern coast of Mallorca (western Mediterranean)

Tsunami blocks deposits offer insights into past seismic activities and their coastal impacts. These deposits feature unique anomalous boulder placements, and microfossils indicating sudden marine incursions. Studies of tsunami boulders globally, from the Mediterranean to the Pacific, help reconstruct historical tsunami frequency, magnitude, and effects, extending understanding beyond written records. Analyzing tsunami boulders aids in refining models predicting future tsunami risks. However, distinguishing tsunami from storm deposits on cliffs is debated, as similar features can arise from both. This controversy necessitates a multi-disciplinary approach, combining geomorphological data, historical tsunami records, and modern modeling to accurately identify tsunami boulders emplacement and deposition. This study focuses on cliff-top boulder deposits at the southern cliff coast of Mallorca Island. Preliminary results demonstrate that the formation mechanism of the cliff-top boulder deposits in the southern part of Mallorca is directly related to the approach of tsunami waves, supporting the previous findings based on morphological and sedimentological features.

Modificación de la red de drenaje de las cuencas bajas de la Costa del Sol Occidental y su implicación en la evolución de la costa
Authors: Del Río José Luis , Navas Concha Fátima , Malvárez García Gonzalo
Published: September 2024

La modificación de la red de drenaje de cuencas hidrográficas puede mejorar su eficiencia hidrológica, con implicaciones sedimentarias cuando ocurren en zonas de desembocadura, especialmente en cuencas Mediterráneas. En la sección más occidental del Mediterráneo, el Mar de Alborán, varias cuencas fluviales fluyen perpendicularmente a la línea de costa actual, alimentando formas deltaicas. Dada la estrecha relación existente entre la alimentación de sedimentos terrígenos y la formación de ambientes litorales (como playas y dunas), la modificación de la red de drenaje en zonas de desembocadura puede afectar tanto al ritmo como a la posición de estos elementos. El punto de inyección y el aumento en los aportes interaccionan además con las fuerzas marinas predominantes, generando una nueva redistribución de los sedimentos. La hipótesis de trabajo de este artículo asume que las modificaciones de las redes de drenaje de los cursos fluviales vertientes a las ensenadas de Estepona y Marbella durante el Holoceno podrían haber resultado decisivas en la actual configuración de los cordones dunares y dunas, con especial atención en el desarrollo del delta del río Guadalmina como uno de los principales contribuyentes al rápido llenado de los estuarios y su conversión en deltas. Los resultados sugieren que la cantidad y posición alternas de interacciones fluviales y marinas han generado elementos significativos como las Dunas de El Saladillo-Matas Verdes en Estepona y el relleno del Placer de las Bóvedas, alimentando este último el enorme complejo dunar de Cabopino en Marbella.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Reducing Emotional Eating in Emerging Adult Women
Authors: Husodo Chrissamary , Sukamto Monique Elizabeth
Published: September 2024

Emerging adulthood is a transitional period from adolescence to adulthood characterized by instability in roles and relationships as individuals navigate the demands of higher education, employment, intimate relationships, and self-identity formation. This transition often triggers various negative emotions, such as anxiety, distress, and self-doubt, particularly in women, making them more susceptible to engaging in emotional eating as a means of seeking temporary comfort or distraction. Emotional eating is a mechanism for temporary emotional relief, but feelings of regret or guilt often follow it. Emotion regulation skills are crucial when experiencing negative emotions. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an intervention designed to enhance emotion regulation skills, in reducing the occurrence of emotional eating among emerging adult women. The study employed a single case experiment design with two 21-year-old female participants experiencing emotional eating. The Emotional Eating Scale (EES) and emotional eating self-recording were used as measurement tools. Each participant received DBT over 7 sessions, each lasting 60-90 minutes. The results indicated that DBT reduced the frequency of emotional eating in both participants, with the effect persisting up to 14 days post-intervention. These findings suggest that DBT is an effective intervention for reducing emotional eating in emerging adult women.
