Authors: Moran Chloe , Shaw Hannah , Black Sue , Brewster Kay
Published: January 2023

There is increasing evidence for the effectiveness of brief, group-based compassionate mind training (CMT) in reducing shame and self-criticism, and increasing self-compassion. The current evaluation of an 8-week CMT group programme in an NHS Physical Health Psychology Service supports these findings. Based on a cross-diagnostic sample of 25-39 participants with physical health difficulties, results demonstrate significant reduction in depression and anxiety, significant increase in perceived wellbeing and acceptance, and a significant increase in self compassion following attendance at the group. These findings indicate a potential benefit of compassionate mind training for individuals accessing NHS services due to physical health difficulties including chronic pain, cancer, and long-term conditions such as diabetes.
Study of Recycled Spent Coffee Grounds as Aggregates in Cementitious Materials
Authors: Lee Judong , Kim Jinho , Lee Seungjoo
Published: January 2023

Most spent coffee grounds (SCGs), a byproduct of brewing coffee, are buried in landfill sites, and their decomposition produces significant greenhouse gases. As the recent warming of the Earth’s climate has made it imperative that industries reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the present study investigates the viability of recycling SCGs for use as a partial replacement of aggregates in concrete materials. Cement mortar samples with a fixed cement-to-water ratio and varying amounts of SCGs were fabricated and tested. Mechanical strength tests revealed that an appropriate amount of SCGs can improve compressive strength. However, since strength deterioration was also observed in samples with too much or too little SCG content, finding the optimal amount is necessary for implementation. The samples’ thermal conductivity decreased as the amount of SCGs increased, capturing the effective insulating substance of air within the SCGs’ porous structure. The increased insulating capacity of concrete materials resulting from the addition of SCGs could be beneficial in terms of a building’s lifecycle cost and carbon emissions. Thus, the SCGs once disposed of in landfills to emit greenhouse gases can be transformed into an appealing and eco-friendly building material if the proper concrete mix ratio is used.

Demographic Data Associated With Digital Inequity Reported in Patient-to-Provider Teledermatology Studies in the United States From 2011 to 2021: Scoping Review
Authors: Miller John , Ioffreda Patrick , Nugent Shannon , Jones Elizabeth
Published: January 2023

Background

Patient-to-provider teledermatology relies on a patient’s access to technology to ensure a successful visit. However, access to broadband internet and technology varies across populations in the United States—leading to the digital divide. While teledermatology has been recognized as a model to improve access, little is known about how often demographic data associated with digital inequity are captured in studies.

Objective

Given the expansion of teledermatology over the past decade, we sought to determine how often demographic data associated with digital inequity are reported in patient-to-provider teledermatology studies.

Methods

A scoping literature review search was conducted using the search term teledermatology in the following databases: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. All studies published between December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2021, that evaluated patient-to-provider teledermatology were eligible.

Results

In total, 1412 publications describing teledermatology were identified, of which 46 met the inclusion criteria. Race or ethnicity was the most frequently reported demographic characteristic (28/46, 61%). However, only 41% (19/46) of studies were representative of race or ethnicity, defined as including >20% nonwhite participants. Studies rarely reported the number of participants greater than 65 years of age (14/46, 30%), preferred language (9/46, 20%), income (6/46, 13%), highest level of education (5/46, 11%), or access to a device (4/46, 9%). Studies conducted after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic were significantly more likely to report preferred language (9/25, 36% vs 0%; P=.002) and appeared more likely to report other demographic data associated with digital inequity, without reaching statistical significance (P>.05).

Conclusions

Demographic data associated with digital inequity are rarely reported in patient-to-provider teledermatology studies to date. These studies frequently lack adequate representation of racial and ethnic minorities. With increased calls for equitable representation in dermatology studies, future teledermatology studies can improve the reporting of race and ethnicity and consider demographic data associated with digital inequity as an important criterion in research design.

Authors: SHARMA NEERU , YADAV YADEVENDRA , SHARMA KHEM CHAND
Published: January 2023

Mental health is analytical marker of an individual’s overall well-being, along with his/her physical state. Human beings are required to maintain good mental health. However, we develop certain habits and behaviors, leading to a poor state of mental health. Such behaviors range from anxiety to depression. Low nutrient-containing diet, stress, lack of exercise, unhealthy habits (like the use of drugs, alcohol, and various other addictions), and lack of sufficient rest are risk factors for developing mental health issues. Mental illness is a crucial contributor to the burden on health-care service and affects many people in the world. The prime aim of Ayurveda is the promotion of health through the prevention and cure of diseases through positive physical and mental health through the concepts of Ayurvedic and Yoga practices. Achara Rasayana, Sadvrutta, Aasana, and Pranayama are helpful to maintain proper mental health and tackle mental health promotion and prevention of mental disorders. Daivavyapashraya (chanting of mantras), the performance of various Homas (sacrifice), Yuktivyapashraya (use of medicines and diet), and Satwavajaya (efforts to control the abnormal mental activity by the practice of Yama, Niyama, Asana, and Pranayama) are mentioned in ancient sciences such as Ayurveda and Yoga to treat mental illness and promote stress-free mental life.

Published: January 2023

It is critical to protect coastal and offshore structures. Most current studies and scientific investigations are centered on how to protect seashore with an efficient and cost-effective system. This study involved the testing of a new floating breakwater configuration (FB). A series of experiments were carried out in the lab of The Higher Institute of Engineering (El-shorouk City) on the new model and the traditional vertical plane FB without a curved face to compare their behaviours and performance in wave attenuation. The incident, reflected, and transmitted wave heights were measured, and the coefficients of reflection, transmission, and energy dissipation were calculated using these measurements. In terms of hydrodynamic performance, the curved-face floating breakwater outperformed the traditional vertical floating breakwater, according to the study's highlights. The curved face model significantly reduced wave transmission values when compared to the traditional vertical configuration. The greater the concavity of the curve, the better the model handles waves, especially when the wave steepness is low.

Published: January 2023

Native starch has many restrictions in the food sector, requiring modifications to improve its properties. The objective of this work was to modify pitomba starch in order to obtain distinct properties of this biopolymer. Starch was modified with octenyl succinic acid, with subsequent physicochemical analysis. The modified starch had a degree of substitution of 0.3 and could be used as binders and thickeners. Modified starch paste showed a greater tendency to retrogradation with greater variation from the 7th day onwards, not being recommended for foods that require longer storage time. The modified starch paste proved to be opaque, applicable in puddings and ready-to-eat desserts. Modified starch showed higher water absorption capacity and lower oil absorption capacity than native starch. The modified starch was more viscous than the native one. The swelling of the granules occurred above 80°C, with emphasis on the native starch, while the modified starch was more soluble above the temperature of 80°C. A high lipid content was found in both starches. Chemical modification did not cause shift of spectral bands. It is concluded that the modified pitomba starch has great potential to be used in the food segment.

Camélidos de contextos cazadores recolectores de la Puna Seca del Desierto de Atacama (extremo norte de Chile)
Authors: Castillo Camila , Sepúlveda Marcela , Gayo Eugenia , Dufour Elise , Goepfert Nicolas , Osorio Daniela
Published: January 2023

The Dry Puna in extreme northern Chile lies between the Andean region’s two main camelid domestication centers, a location that makes it particularly important to the study of human-animal relationships. This article presents a first synthesis of the archeozoological analysis of fourteen hunter-gatherer sites in the Andean foothills near Arica (Chile), the preliminary results of stable isotope analyses from two locations, and 35 associated radiocarbon dates. Researchers contrasted this data with other regional studies of lithic materials and rock art paintings. In synthesis, the article recognizes changes in consumption throughout Archean up to the Formative Period. It identifies the use of animals from the same area or with the same foraging pattern in the Puna and explores a “conservative” mobility pattern within the highlands. Finally, the changes in human-camelid interactions portrayed in rock art complement the vision drawn from bone fragment analysis, reflecting the importance of integrating different material and visual registers into discussions of these issues.
La construcción de la identidad del mexicano como bestia en tres narrativas inglesas de viaje de los años treinta
Authors: Hinojosa Palomino Etzel Ayahana , Pfleger Biering Sabine
Published: January 2023

El objetivo de esta contribución es mostrar cómo narrativas de viaje inglesas de los años teinta del siglo pasado coinciden en la construcción de una visión distorsionada del mexicano que radica en prejuicios y actitudes colonizadoras. Se someten a análisis tres narrativas inglesas: Mornings in Mexico de D. H. Lawrence (1927), Beyond the Mexique Bay de Aldous Huxley (1934) y The Lawless Roads de Graham Greene (1939). Dentro de estas narrativas se analizan, mediante herramientas de la lingüística cognitiva, los procesos conceptualizadores de categorización y metáfora para la heteroconstrucción identitaria del mexicano como una bestia mediante dos frames: el frame de Animal Salvaje y el frame de Animal Doméstico. Se muestra cómo los novelistas ingleses establecen mediante estos frames un eje de oposición identitaria y, con ello, una estratificación jerárquica entre el hombre civilizado europeo y el mexicano salvaje. Estas heteropercepciones colonizadoras siguen siendo relevantes porque todo apunta a que tienen vigencia hasta nuestros días en muchos discursos actuales que delinean un ideal para la identidad colectiva mexicana.

Authors: Estrada Zepeda Nube , Rojas-Drummond Sylvia
Published: January 2023

Este trabajo presenta un modelo para el análisis del diálogo entre maestros y estudiantes durante el proceso de enseñanza en el salón de clases. La propuesta busca contribuir a los estudios de las formas de diálogo productivas que han sido relacionadas con los logros escolares de los estudiantes desde una perspectiva sociocultural. El modelo parte de la concepción de la enseñanza como práctica social realizada mediante el diálogo, en la cual los maestros promueven en los escolares formas de pensar y resolver problemas usando herramientas materiales, como pizarrón y cuadernos, y herramientas de representación, como esquemas, tablas y dibujos. Asimismo, la propuesta integra el concepto de actividad, originalmente planteado por Leont’ev, para comprender la estructura de la actividad educativa, así como los conceptos de género y registro de la lingüística sistémico-funcional para analizar el diálogo en el contexto de la actividad escolar. Se ilustra el funcionamiento del modelo con el análisis de una secuencia de turnos de una lección sobre evolución biológica en una escuela secundaria de la Ciudad de México.

Published: January 2023

bstract: As a result of the industrial 4.0 revolution, hand gestures are becoming more and more significant in the disciplines of robotics and IoT. Hand gestures are often used in the IoT field in applications for smart homes, wearable technology, vehicles, virtual reality, and other things. Let's try to infuse this work with some of our own originality. Combining Python and Arduino for Laptop/Computer Gesture Control. We'll utilise two Ultrasonic sensors to determine where our hand is with relation to a media player (VLC) and control it. We'll mount two ultrasonic sensors on top of the monitor and use an Arduino to gauge how far away it is from our hand. We will take particular activities in response to this measurement. We can do computer operations using the Python PyautoGUI module. The computer gets commands from the Arduino via the serial port. Currently, scientists are working to develop a hand gesture computer that runs entirely on hand gestures and sensors instead of any hardware. Few researchers have actually shown that we can control the video player, web browser, and text document with hand movements using Arduino and ultrasonic sensors.

The fruit of the Paradise tree: the problem of cognition in the works of Yu.P. Kuznetsov
Authors: Ilinykh Anastasia V.
Published: January 2023

The analysis of the epistemological and axiological aspects of Yu.P. Kuznetsov's poetry in general and when implementing the biblical intertext in it in particular is presented. The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of the realization of the theme of cognition in the works of Yu.P. Kuznetsov in the context of spiritual search and religious exploration of the world. The main goal is to determine, considering the specifics of the type of thinking of the lyrical hero, a set of artistic images of biblical nature, which the author uses while discussing the theme. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the consistent consideration of images and motives of biblical nature related to the problems of gnoseology. Special attention is paid to the consideration of Old Testament images-symbols dating back to the myth of the fall. The main directions of the development of the author's poetic thought regarding the issues of the consistency of scientific knowledge and the idea of progress and related problems of the interaction of rationalistic and intuitive-religious types of thinking are analyzed. It is established that the author prefers a non-rationalistic method of cognition of truth based on the concept of co-creation of man and God, which leads to the sacralization of the creative process and the image of the artist (in the broad sense of the word) as a mediator of the will of God. Kuznetsov uses the religious symbol in order to show the universality and necessity of the intuitively religious approach to cognition that does not depend on specific historical conditions. The poet's interpretation of the biblical image is close to the canon and folk tradition.
A man as a Buddhist imaginary in L. Yuzefovich's novel “Cranes and Dwarfs”
Authors: Dubakov Leonid V.
Published: January 2023

Buddhism finds a diverse reflection in the work of L. Yuzefovich for many decades. Buddhist ideas and motifs are present in his early book “The Autocrat of the desert. Baron R. Ungern von Sternberg and the world in which he lived,” in some of his other prose texts, in poetry. In the proposed work, within the framework of a large study devoted to the Buddhist text of modern Russian literature, the influence of Buddhism on Leonid Yuzefovich's novel “Cranes and Dwarfs” is analyzed. The Buddhist idea of the illusory nature of reality and man is reflected in the plot of the work and in the organization of the system of characters. The novel intrigue is based on the principle of repetition, realized in space, time and in human destinies. The heroes of “Cranes and Dwarfs,” according to one of the possible interpretations offered by the novel, represent one consciousness that changes its forms in Russian history. At the same time, the illusory nature of a separate human existence is perceived by the author not in a pessimistic way, but as evidence of the spiritual kinship of all living things. The author also draws parallels to a similar perception of reality and people in the novel “Prince of the Wind” and the story “Sand Riders” by Yuzefovich and the book by E. Limonov “The Old Man Travels.”
Gynocentrism in Langston Hughes selected poetic works
Authors: Prathap Chandran R. , Kumaresan P.
Published: January 2023

Gynocentrism exclusive focuses on women both as theory and practice. Anything can be considered gynocentric when it is concerned exclusively with a female point of view. The works of Langston Hughes, which reflect the intersection of races and genders in the lives of blacks, are studied. His contributions take multiple forms including poetry, short stories, dramas and novels which are about black women's love, nature, romantic dilemmas, mother - daughter relationships, friendship, and silences. The authors analyze how gender in a special way colors female identity in Hughes' works. He expresses interdependence of genders and racial identities in his representations of black women and hence can be dubbed as gender racial. His writings are in a gender racial style, highlighting and intertwining gender and racial identities. Hughes' overcomes gender and racial stereotypes with open discussions on contentious themes. It is concluded that Hughes creates an alternative to repressive social realities by combining challenges with sensual visions.
Influencer as a special type of public opinion leader
Authors: Yefanov Aleksandr A.
Published: January 2023

The conceptual apparatus of contemporary communicology does not differentiate between the concepts of “opinion leader” and “influencer”. To solve this problem, the author uses a poly-paradigmatic approach using a set of methods: historical and genetic analysis, structural analysis and socio-cultural modelling. As a result of the study, the author offers an author's definition of the concept of “influencer” as a special type of public opinion leader - an independent medium, which spreads its direct influence on the Internet (mainly in social media) through a direct communication channel using new tactics of positioning (the integration of private and public). At the same time, influencer has a significant impact on the target audience, promoting certain ideas (ideological, consumerist, etc.), which ultimately affects the system of norms, values and attitudes of the recipients. The author outlines the limitations of the study and identifies perspective direction related to the need for further substantiation of the above-mentioned media and communication phenomenon. The expediency of addressing the notion of “influencer” from academic positions is shown, and the necessity of its discrete inclusion in the interdisciplinary scientific discourse is substantiated.
Importance of Stability Analysis for Sustainable Fisheries in the Absence of Important Data
Authors: Demir Mahir
Published: January 2023

Assessment of fish stocks is especially important to avoid overfishing and obtain sustainable fishing policies, and there are many stock assessment methods such as XSA, VPA, BMS, CMSY, and MSVPA to analyze fish stocks. However, these assessment methods require an important amount of data for fish stocks such as diet data, natural mortality, fishing mortality, abundance index of species, predator ratio estimates, and so on. Unfortunately, we do not have such data for most of the fish stocks, and obtaining such data requires an important amount of money and time, but we still can predict important information about fish stocks such as biomass of fish stocks, the maximum sustainable yield, the biomass of fish lost or gained due to predator-prey relations, and even can track the effect of harvesting on predator-prey relations by building a mathematical model for fish populations and implementing a stability analysis. To obtain these outputs, we only need landing data and implement a parameter estimation constrained on stability conditions derived from the stability analysis of the mathematical model. Shortly, this study shows us how important stability analysis is to obtain important information about fish populations in the absence of important data.
Politics of Floods and Fear During Pre-15th General Election in Malaysia: An Analysis
Authors: Abdullah Mohd Firdaus , Syed Annuar Sharifah Nursyahidah , Hamzah Siti Noraini , Ata Frankie Marcus
Published: January 2023

UMNO's call to put pressure on the Malaysian government, under the leadership of Ismail Sabri, to hold the GE15 during the flood season, which is expected to start in November 2022 until March 2023, was observed to have surprised many parties. In fact, this call was responded to by Ismail Sabri's announcement in the UMNO assembly stating that the parliament will be dissolved in the near future to make way for the GE15, which also confirmed that it was likely that the election would be held during the flood season in Malaysia. Finally, on October 10, 2022, Ismail Sabri announced the dissolution of the 14th parliament and confirmed that the GE15 will be held during the flood season in Malaysia. This announcement has created an atmosphere of panic and fear among the people because Malaysia will generally be hit by a flood season during the specified period. Therefore, this research aims to identify how the flood season affects the ideas for the GE15. The conceptual framework proposed in this research is political distrust of the government and the setting of political agendas that will influence voters’ behaviour. This research is relevant and has its own importance due to the fact that research related to floods during the general election in Malaysia has not been carried out before. It provides a new approach when focusing on how floods affect the course of elections in Malaysia, in addition to introducing a new landscape in national politics. The results of this study found that the GE15 in Malaysia will most likely not represent the true voice of the people of this country because it is held during the flood season. This is because it would have reduced the voting percentage due to weather factors that may cause people to refuse to go out to vote. In conclusion, the politics of flood and fear have the potential to influence voters’ behaviour of going out to vote or otherwise, and would have an impact on the outcome of the election results.
Kupasan Terhadap Kritikan Terpilih Renato Constantino: Antara Konflik dengan Pelestarian Identiti dalam Pendidikan di Filipina, 1901- 1935
Authors: Mohamed Ariffin Nur Dayana
Published: January 2023

The education system in the Philippines has been argued by one of its most prominent historians, Renato Constantino, as the root of confounding national identities in the post-independence Philippines and the multitudes of the internal crisis faced by the country. Constantino was regarded as a “left-wing” scholar, raising difficult questions on the nation’s adaptation of colonial thoughts and the uncritical approach to Americanisation, a result of the education model introduced by the administration of the United States (1898-1901). This study focuses on American rule in the Philippines from the establishment of the Department of Public Instruction in 1901 which had formed and implemented education policies in the country to the founding of the Commonwealth government in 1935, an interim government before the United States granted full independence to the Republic of the Philippines in 1946. This paper proposes that conflicts in the Philippines can best be understood through a critical reading of Constantino’s controversial and critical works. Additionally, this paper also stresses discussion on the interconnectedness between political problems, social issues, and post-colonial education which had affected the Philippines, and in general many formerly colonized nations.
Multiculturalism and Allegations of Islamization at Jayapura Regency, Papua, Indonesia in the Post-Reform, 1998-2015
Authors: Al Hakim Luqman
Published: January 2023

This article aims to examine multiculturalism and accusations of Islamization made by the Papuan people against the Indonesian government in 1998, the emergence of the issue of Islamization by the Indonesian government affecting sentiment and discrimination of migrants by the Papuan people. This article uses qualitative research methods combined with a historical approach that involves collecting primary sources, both books, articles, and official websites of the Papua Province government. and interviews with the people of Jayapura. This article produces a finding: multiculturalism in Jayapura had occurred before 1998. The emergence of Islamization led to divisions among migrants and indigenous Papuans in Jayapura, and some factors influenced the creation of multiculturalism in Jayapura such as marriage, transmigration, and overseas groups from Java and Sulawesi at the end of the 20th century.

The influence of disparities on intensive care outcomes in children with respiratory diseases: a systematic review
Authors: Hussain Tahira , Berg Sarah van den , Ziesemer Kirsten , Markhorst Dick , Vijverberg Susanne , Kapitein Berber
Published: January 2023

Context – The negative effects of socioeconomic, environmental and
ethnic inequalities on childhood respiratory diseases are known in the
development of persistent asthma and can result in adverse outcomes.
However, little is known about the effects of these disparities on
pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) outcomes in respiratory diseases.
Objective – The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the
literature on disparities in socioeconomic, environmental and ethnic
determinants on PICU outcomes. We hypothesize that these disparities
negatively influence the outcomes of children’s respiratory diseases at
the PICU. Methods – A literature search (in PubMed, Embase.com and Web
of Science Core Collection) was performed up to September 30, 2022. Two
authors extracted the data and independently evaluated the risk of bias
with appropriate assessment methods. Articles were included if the
patients were below 18 years of age (excluding neonatal intensive care
unit admissions), they concerned respiratory diseases and incorporated
socioeconomic, ethnic or environmental disparities. Results – Of 8746
references reviewed, 15 articles were included; seven articles on the
effect of socioeconomic status, five articles on ethnicity, one on the
effect of sex and lastly two on environmental factors. All articles but
one showed an unfavorable outcome at the PICU. Conclusion – Disparities
in socioeconomic (such as a low-income household, public health
insurance), ethnic and environmental factors (such as exposure to
tobacco smoke and diet) have been assessed as risk factors for the
severity of children’s respiratory diseases and can negatively influence
the outcomes of these children at the PICU.
Multi-stress interplay: Time and duration of ocean acidification modulate the toxicity of mercury and other metals

Published: January 2023

The current understanding of multi-stress interplay assumes stresses
occur in perfect synchrony, but this assumption is rarely met in the
natural marine ecosystem. To understand the interplay between
non-perfectly overlapped stresses in the ocean, we manipulated different
temporal scenarios of acidification and assessed their effect on mercury
toxicity in a marine copepod. We found that the scenario of past
acidification aggravated mercury toxicity, but personal and persistent
acidification mitigated the toxicity. This is because personal and
persistent acidification initiated the energy compensation to enhance
growth and mercury efflux. To explore how general temporal scenarios of
acidification affected multi-stress interplay, we conducted a
meta-analysis on marine animals and found that scenarios significantly
changed the toxicity of several other metals. Our study thus
demonstrates that time and duration of stresses modulate multi-stress
interplay in the marine ecosystem, and suggests that future studies
should move beyond the scenario of perfect synchrony.
Molecular genetics and quantitative traits divergence among populations of Eothenomys miletus from Hengduan Mountain region

Published: January 2023

An important objective of evolutionary biology has always been to grasp
the evolutionary and genetic processes that contribute to speciation.
The present work provides the first detailed account of the genetic and
physiological adaptation to changing environmental temperatures as well
as the reasons causing intraspecific divergence in the Eothenomys
miletus from the Hengduan mountain (HM) region, one of the biodiversity
hotspots. 161 E. miletus individuals from five populations in the
HM region had their genomes simplified sequenced, and one additional
individual from each community had their genomes resequenced. We then
characterized the genetic diversity and population structure of each
population and compared the phenotypic divergence in traits using
neutral molecular markers. We detected significant phenotypic and
genetic alterations in E. miletus from the HM region that were
related to naturally occurring diverse habitats by combining
morphometrics and genomic techniques. The E. miletus existed
asymmetric gene flow patterns, indicating that five E. miletus
populations exhibit a isolation-by-island model, and this was supported
by the correlation between FST and geographic distance. Finally, PST
estimated by phenotypic measures of most wild traits were higher than
differentiation at neutral molecular markers, indicating directional
natural selection favouring different phenotypes in different
populations must have been involved to achieve this much
differentiation. Our findings give information on the demographic
history of E. miletus, new insights into their evolution and
adaptability, and literature for studies of a similar nature on other
wild small mammals from the HM region.
A Data-driven Spatial Approach to Characterize Flood Hazard
Authors: Mostafiz Rubayet Bin , Rahim Adilur , Freidland Carol , Rohli Robert
Published: January 2023

United States Federal Emergency Management Agency provides model-output
localized flood grids that are useful in characterizing flood hazards
for properties located in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA ─ areas
expected to experience a 1% or greater annual chance of flooding). But
these flood grids are often unavailable or fail to include return
periods for particular applications, such as understanding flood risk of
properties during the 70-year useful building life cycle. Furthermore,
due to the unavailability of higher-return-period flood grids, the flood
risk of properties located outside the SFHA cannot be quantified. Here,
we present a method to estimate the flood hazard for U.S. properties
that are located both inside and outside the SFHA. The flood hazard is
characterized by the Gumbel extreme value distribution to project flood
elevations to extreme flood events for which an entire area is assumed
to be submerged. Spatial interpolation techniques impute elevation
values in the extreme flood elevation surfaces and therefore can
estimate the flood hazard for areas outside the SFHA. The proposed
method can improve the assessment of flood risk for properties located
in both inside and outside the SFHA and therefore, the decision-making
process regarding flood insurance purchases, mitigation strategies, and
long-term planning for enhanced resilience to one of the world’s most
ubiquitous natural hazards.
