Web-Based Decision Support System for Managing the Food–Water–Soil–Ecosystem Nexus in the Kolleru Freshwater Lake of Andhra Pradesh in South India
Authors: Kolli Meena Kumari , Opp Christian , Karthe Daniel , Kumar Nallapaneni Manoj
Published: February 2022

Most of the world’s freshwater lake ecosystems are endangered due to intensive land use conditions. They are subjected to anthropogenic stress and severely degraded because of large-scale aquafarming, agricultural expansion, urbanization, and industrialization. In the case of India’s largest freshwater lake, the Kolleru freshwater ecosystem, environmental resources such as water and soil have been adversely impacted by an increase in food production, particularly through aquaculture. There are numerous instances where aqua farmers have indulged in constructing illegal fishponds. This process of aquafarming through illegal fishponds has continued even after significant restoration efforts, which started in 2006. This underlines the necessity of continuous monitoring of the state of the lake ecosystem in order to survey the effectiveness of restoration and protection measures. Hence, to better understand the processes of ecosystem degradation and derive recommendations for future management, we developed a web mapping application (WMA). The WMA aims to provide fishpond data from the current monitoring program, allowing users to access the fishpond data location across the lake region, demanding lake digitization and analysis. We used a machine learning algorithm for training the composite series of Landsat images obtained from Google Earth Engine to digitize the lake ecosystem and further analyze current and past land use classes. An open-source geographic information system (GIS) software and JavaScript library plugins including a PostGIS database, GeoServer, and Leaflet library were used for WMA. To enable the interactive features, such as editing or updating the latest construction of fishponds into the database, a client–server architecture interface was provided, finally resulting in the web-based model application for the Kolleru Lake aquaculture system. Overall, we believe that providing expanded access to the fishpond data using such tools will help government organizations, resource managers, stakeholders, and decision makers better understand the lake ecosystem dynamics and plan any upcoming restoration measures.
Digital Paradox: Platform Economy and High-Quality Economic Development—New Evidence from Provincial Panel Data in China
Authors: Yang Guoge , Deng Feng , Wang Yifei , Xiang Xianhong
Published: February 2022

Based on provincial panel data of China from 2011 to 2019, this paper discusses the influence and mechanism of the platform economy on the high-quality development of regional economies. It is found that the platform economy has an inverted U-shaped impact on the high-quality development of regional economies. On the left side of the inverted U-shaped inflection point, the platform economy plays a significant role in promoting high-quality economic development; on the right side of the inflection point, the platform economy has an obvious inhibitory effect on high-quality economic development. Statistical analysis showed that 85% of the observations fell on the left side of the inflection point, indicating that China’s platform economy as a whole is in the early stages of development. From the strong and weak grouping test of the degree of government intervention, it was found that the platform economy only has an inverted U-shaped effect on the high-quality development of the areas with weak intervention. From the point of view of the coefficient, the platform economy has a greater promoting effect on the high-quality development of the areas with strong intervention. From the grouping test of the quality of the market system, it was found that the inverted U-shaped curve is steeper in the areas with higher institutional quality, indicating that, in the early stage of development, the platform economy has a greater promoting effect on the high-quality development of areas with perfect institutions. In addition, the analysis of regional heterogeneity showed that, in the early stage of development, the promoting effect of the platform economy on the high-quality development of the northeastern and western regions is more significant. After exceeding the threshold, the platform economy has an inhibitory effect on the high-quality development of all regions. The mechanism test shows that technology, talent, and capital in the initial stage of development can all play a positive regulatory role; after exceeding the threshold, platform economic monopoly may restrain high-quality economic development by hindering technological progress and causing a mismatch of labor–capital elements and resources.
Creating a Circular Design Workspace: Lessons Learned from Setting up a “Bio-Makerspace”
Authors: Vuylsteke Bert , Dumon Louise , Detand Jan , Ostuzzi Francesca
Published: February 2022

In today’s industrial short-lived products, long-lasting materials are often implemented (e.g., oil-based plastics for throwaway packaging). Circular economy teaches the importance of keeping these materials in use, as well as designing end-of-lives that regenerate natural systems. Designers can help drive to a circular transition, but are they ready for this challenge? Educating young designers on circularity seems a fundamental first step, including knowing and meaningfully using circular, bio-based and biodegradable materials. This substantiates the decision to expand the UGent Campus Kortrijk Design workspace to include specific technologies for circular, bio-based and biodegradable materials as a means of experiential learning during the prototyping phase. This paper reports on setting up a “bio-makerspace” as well as the use, adaption and redesign by 45 students. Qualitative data on work dynamics, used tools, materials, barriers and enablers were captured and analyzed to potentially facilitate the implementation of similar “bio-makerspaces” in different institutions. The next steps include the expansion and intensification of the use of the lab, in conjunction with the education of students to meaningfully match these materials to sustainable applications beyond the prototyping phase.

Published: February 2022

The article presents the findings of three-year field experiments conducted during 2017–2020 on the productivity, economics, and environmental footprints of the oilseed Brassica (OSB) with species diversification and crop geometry alterations in semi-arid regions of India. The objectives of the field experimentation was to assess the system of mustard intensification (SMI) in enhancing productivity and profitability with ensuring fewer environmental footprints. The results revealed that Brassica carinata gave a maximum seed productivity (3173.8 kg ha−1) and net returns (US$ 1141.72 ha−1) under a crop geometry of 60 cm × 60 cm. Further, an increase of 38% and 54% in seed yield and net returns from B. carinata was observed over the existing traditional Brassica juncea with conventional crop geometry. The maximum energy output was also recorded from B. carinata (246,445 MJ ha−1). The broader crop geometry (60 cm × 60 cm) also resulted in maximum energy output. The environmental footprint was lesser due to increased carbon gain (CG), carbon output (CO), and carbon production efficiency (CPE) and lower greenhouse gas intensity (GHGi) in B. carinata. However, the maximum water-use efficiency (WUE) was recorded in B. juncea (19.15 kg per ha-mm), with a minimum water footprint (WFP), whereas, greater crop geometry (60 cm × 60 cm) resulted in lower WFPs and better irrigation water use. Enhanced seed yield, economics, and fewer environmental footprints were observed at broader crop geometry in B. carinata over remaining OSBs.
Revealing Causal Factors Influencing Sustainable and Safe Navigation in Central Europe
Authors: Maternová Andrea , Materna Matúš , Dávid Andrej
Published: February 2022

Even though inland navigation represents the safest transport mode, consequences of accidents are significantly higher, because of the larger quantities of cargo transported, compared with the conventional means of transport. Accidents in inland waterways are a regular phenomenon throughout the year, causing deaths, injuries, and monetary loss, and endangering the environment. At present, comprehensive research on inland navigation accidents including their causes and consequences is lacking. For this purpose, data about real accidents on the Danube River were collected and analysed in this study. This paper provides a comprehensive study of the hazards (causal factors) and resulting risks in inland waterway transport. Two methods were applied to fulfil the aim—a cause and effect diagram, used for hazard identification, and a risk matrix, used for risk assessment. The analysis confirmed the presence of recurring hazards, resulting mainly from human behaviour. This study can be used for the methodology and design of preventive measures to ensure safe inland navigation.
Task Allocation in Human–Machine Manufacturing Systems Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Joo Taejong , Jun Hyunyoung , Shin Dongmin
Published: February 2022

Catering for human operators is a critical aspect in the sustainability of a manufacturing sector. This paper presents a task allocation problem in human–machine manufacturing systems. A key aspect of this problem is to carefully consider the characteristics of human operators having different task preferences and capabilities. However, the characteristics of human operators are usually implicit, which makes the mathematical formulation of the problem difficult. In addition, variability in manufacturing systems such as job completion and machine breakdowns are prevalent. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning-based approach to accommodate the unobservable characteristics of human operators and the stochastic nature of manufacturing systems. Historical data accumulated in the process of job assignment are exploited to allocate tasks to either humans or machines. We demonstrate that the proposed model accommodates task competence and fatigue levels of individual human operators into job assignments, thereby improving scheduling-related performance measures compared to classical dispatching rules.
Game Jams as Valuable Tools for the Development of 21st-Century Skills
Authors: Contreras-Espinosa Ruth S. , Eguia-Gomez Jose Luis
Published: February 2022

The concept of 21st-century skills refers to the knowledge, skills, and emotions that are critical to successfully navigating today’s world. Game jams can act as spaces to develop these skills and thus boost cooperative learning, problem-based learning, or co-creation. Additionally, game jams offer opportunities to improve collaboration and creativity skills, among others. This paper summarizes three years of activities designing and studying game jams to develop 21st-century skills, focused on Mexican students aged 12–16 years old. Data were compiled through direct observation, open-ended questionnaires, and interviews and were subject to thematic analysis in order to construct new knowledge on a previously underexplored topic. The results suggest that game jams are valuable tools to develop 21st-century skills, and, although the outcomes of skill evaluation may vary and may be difficult to verify, the participants reported increased skills, such as creativity or collaboration. Finally, this paper provides recommendations based on the research and practice conducted by the authors on how to use game jams to develop 21st-century skills and different ways to organize game jams, along with the resources needed.

Published: February 2022

The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has caused considerable environmental damage over the years. However, the growing demand for food in the coming years and decades requires the use of increasingly productive and efficient agriculture. Several studies carried out in recent years have shown how the application of plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) can be a valid substitute for chemical industry products and represent a valid eco-friendly alternative. However, because of the complexity of interactions created with the numerous biotic and abiotic factors (i.e., environment, soil, interactions between microorganisms, etc.), the different formulates often show variable effects. In this review, we analyze the main factors that influence the effectiveness of PGPM applications and some of the applications that make them a useful tool for agroecological transition.
Low-Carbon Literacy of Exhibitors in the Exhibition Industry in China
Authors: Liu Chia-Wei , Cheng Jen-Son
Published: February 2022

While low-carbon and environmentally friendly construction by the exhibition industry has gradually improved, there is a lack of relevant research on whether exhibition-relevant personnel have corresponding low-carbon knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours to jointly assume the responsibility of developing low-carbon exhibitions. This research draws on the literature regarding low-carbon literacy and applies it to the exhibition industry to preliminarily assess the level of low-carbon literacy in China. A questionnaire was formulated through expert surveys and a pre-test. During the formal investigation, 412 valid questionnaires were obtained from exhibitors at seven Chinese exhibition events. The results revealed seven important dimensions of low-carbon literacy in exhibitions, namely, altruistic behaviour, values, low-carbon sensitivity, locus of control, low-carbon knowledge, low-carbon consumption, and action strategies. Low-carbon knowledge and low-carbon sensitivity ranked at the bottom, and middle- and high-level managers and exhibitors with large booth areas exhibited relatively insufficient performance regarding some low-carbon literacy factors. Based on the results, insights for exhibition management and future research directions are proposed in this paper.
Regional Happiness and Corporate Green Innovation: A Financing Constraints Perspective
Authors: Li Dukangqi , Shen Weitao
Published: February 2022

In China’s period of economic transition, enterprises often find it difficult to obtain the support of formal institutions and the capital market, so informal institutions such as value and social networks are particularly important resources. Regional happiness can influence corporate green innovation by shaping the external environment. This study takes a sample of Chinese A-listed companies and empirically tests the impact of regional happiness on corporate green innovation by constructing happiness data at a city level. The empirical results show that in cities with high levels of happiness, the green innovation level of listed companies is higher. This is manifested by a higher number of green patents and green invention patent applications. To test for reliability, a series of robustness tests were carried out. First, we performed 2SLS regression using the instrumental variable method in consideration of the possibility of a reverse generation of endogenous problems. Second, we remeasured corporate green innovation using a green patent authorization considering the rationality and applicability of the measurement method of core variables, and then remeasured the regional happiness based on a text analysis of social media content. Both tests showed that the conclusions are robust. Mechanism analysis revealed that regional happiness has an impact on corporate green innovation through financing constraints, namely, that it can either alleviate enterprises’ financing constraints, or substitute for regional financial development to promote corporate green innovation. Further analysis showed that, for enterprises lacking political connections, regional happiness plays a significant role in promoting green innovation. This indicates that, in the absence of financing convenience, the resource effect brought by regional happiness acts as a substitute for an implicit government guarantee. This study provides new insights into the determinants of corporate green innovation and the value of informal institutions in environmental sustainability.
Functional Symmetry after Surgical Treatment of Pertrochanteric Fractures in the Elderly
Authors: Gawronska Karolina , Lorkowski Jacek
Published: February 2022

Pertrochanteric fractures (PFs) in the elderly and their consequences are among the leading causes of disability; they significantly reduce the quality of life and lead to loss of independence. This article aims to determine the functional and radiological outcomes in a group of patients with PFs treated with either the Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or intramedullary Gamma nail fixation. A total of 618 patients, admitted to hospital for pertrochanteric fractures between 2015 and 2019, at a mean age of 82.40 (range 29–104) were screened. Finally, 78 patients were enrolled. Parameters related to hospital stay and surgery (length of hospital stay, surgery duration) were compared in both groups. Functional outcomes were assessed by the Harris hip score, subjective pain was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS), and quality of life was evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. The obtained results were evaluated at 3- and 6-month follow-up. Radiographic parameters were measured based on the preoperative and postoperative standing anterior–posterior pelvic radiographs and axial projection of the hip at 6-month follow-up. The results showed no significant difference between groups treated either with DHS or intramedullary Gamma nail fixation within the scope of the variables under study. In conclusion, both analysed methods support the functional symmetry of the musculoskeletal system.

The necessity of drug combinations to treat leishmaniasis came to the surface mainly because of the toxicity of current treatments and the emergence of resistant strains. The calpain inhibitor MDL28170 has previously shown anti-Leishmania activity, therefore its use in association with standard drugs could provide a new alternative for the treatment strategy against leishmaniasis. In this study, we analyzed the potential of the combination of MDL28170 and the antileishmanial drug amphotericin B against Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania chagasi. The compounds were tested in the combination of the ½ × IC50 value of MDL28170 plus the ¼ × IC50 value of amphotericin B, which led to an increment in the anti-promastigote activity when compared to the single drug treatments. This drug association revealed several and severe morphophysiological changes on parasite cells, such as loss of plasma membrane integrity, reduced size of flagellum, and depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential besides increased reactive oxygen species production. In addition, the combination of both drugs had a deleterious effect on the Leishmania–macrophage interaction, reflecting in a significant anti-amastigote action, which achieved a reduction of 50% in the association index. These results indicate that the combination treatment proposed here may represent a new alternative for leishmaniasis chemotherapy.

Published: February 2022

A retrospective review was conducted to evaluate intraoperative and patient outcomes following simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SB-PCNL). Target stone characteristics, operative time, hospitalization length, post-operative complications, blood loss, opioid use, pain, and stone-free rates were evaluated. In total, 42 patients with large renal stones (>20 mm2) were identified for this study, and 38% of them achieved stone-free status with no residual fragments apparent on post-operative day one CT imaging. The maximum mean residual fragment size was 3.67 mm2 and average number of residual fragments following the procedures was 1.63. The rates of blood loss, post-operative complications, opioid use, and pain from the study cohort were similar to the reported outcomes of studies conducted by others. The potential benefits of a single procedure and anesthesia to treat bilateral stone burdens, lower total pain medication prescribed, and lower hospital costs render SB-PCNL as an attractive option in the treatment of bilateral kidney stones.

Published: February 2022

After integration to the human genome as a provirus, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) utilizes host T cell gene expression machinery for viral replication. The viral RNA-binding protein, Rex, is known to transport unspliced/incompletely spliced viral mRNAs encoding viral structural proteins out of the nucleus to enhance virus particle formation. However, the detailed mechanism of how Rex avoids extra splicing of unspliced/incompletely spliced viral mRNAs and stabilizes them for effective translation is still unclear. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of Rex function, we comprehensively analyzed the changes in gene expression and splicing patterns in Rex-overexpressing T cells. In addition, we identified 81 human proteins interacting with Rex, involved in transcription, splicing, translation, and mRNA quality control. In particular, Rex interacts with NONO and SFPQ, which play important roles in the regulation of transcription and splicing. Accordingly, expression profiles and splicing patterns of a wide variety of genes are significantly changed in Rex-expressing T cells. Especially, the level of vPD-L1 mRNA that lacks the part of exon 4, thus encodes soluble PD-L1 was significantly increased in Rex-expressing cells. Overall, by integrated analysis of these three datasets, we showed for the first time that Rex intervenes the host gene expression machinery throughout the pathway, probably to escort viral unstable mRNAs from transcription (start) to translation (end). Upon exerting its function, Rex may alter the expression level and splicing patterns of various genes, thus influencing the phenotype of the host cell.

Here, we present the construction of an attenuated herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)-vectored vaccine, expressing three liver-stage (LS) malaria parasite exported proteins (EXP1, UIS3 and TMP21) as fusion proteins with the VP26 viral capsid protein. Intramuscular and subcutaneous immunizations of mice with a pooled vaccine, composed of the three attenuated virus strains expressing each LS antigen, induced sterile protection against the intravenous challenge of Plasmodium yoelii 17X-NL salivary gland sporozoites. Our data suggest that this malaria vaccine may be effective in preventing malaria parasite infection using practical routes of immunization in humans.

Various vaccines against COVID-19 have been developed and proven to be effective, but their side effects, especially on kidney function, are not yet known in detail. In this study, we report the clinical courses and histopathologic findings of new-onset kidney diseases after COVID-19 vaccination as confirmed via kidney biopsy. Five patients aged 42 to 77 years were included in this study, and baseline kidney function was normal in all patients. The biopsy-proven diagnosis indicated newly developed kidney diseases: (1) IgA nephropathy presenting with painless gross hematuria, (2) minimal change disease presenting with nephrotic syndrome, (3) thrombotic microangiopathy, and (4) two cases of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis presenting with acute kidney injury. Individualized treatment was applied as per disease severity and underlying pathology, and the treatment outcomes of all patients were improved. Since this is not a controlled study, the specific pathophysiologic link and causality between the incidence of kidney diseases and COVID-19 vaccination are difficult to confirm. However, clinicians need to consider the possibility that kidney diseases may be provoked by vaccines in patients who have renal symptoms.

Published: February 2022

More than eight billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered globally so far and 44.29% of people are fully vaccinated. Pre-authorization clinical trials were carried out and the safety of vaccines is still continuously monitored through post-commercialization surveillance. However, some people are afraid of vaccine side effects, claiming they could lead to death, and hesitate to get vaccinated. Herein, a literature review of COVID-19-vaccine-related deaths has been carried out according to the PRISMA standards to understand if there is a causal relationship between vaccination and death and to highlight the real extent of such events. There have been 55 cases of death after COVID-19 vaccination reported and a causal relationship has been excluded in 17 cases. In the remaining cases, the causal link between the vaccine and the death was not specified (8) or considered possible (15), probable (1), or very probable/demonstrated (14). The causes of deaths among these cases were: vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) (32), myocarditis (3), ADEM (1), myocardial infarction (1), and rhabdomyolysis (1). In such cases, the demonstration of a causal relationship is not obvious, and more studies, especially with post-mortem investigations, are needed to deepen understanding of the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of fatal vaccine side effects. In any event, given the scarcity of fatal cases, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks and the scientific community needs to be cohesive in asserting that vaccination is fundamental to containing the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

To assess water quality (WQ) online for assuring the safety of drinking water, a novel early warning system integrating a high-frequency monitoring system (HFMS) and data quality control (QC) was developed at Lake Qiandao. The HFMS was designed for monitoring water quality, nutrient inputs by main tributaries, water currents and meteorology at different sites at Lake Qiandao. The EWS focused on data availability, a QC method, a statistical analysis method and data applications instead of technological aspects for sondes, wireless data transfer and interface software development. QC was implemented before use to delete the abnormal values of outliers, to detect change points, to analyse the change trend, to interpolate discrete missing measurements, and find continuous missing or wrong observations caused by technical problems with the sonde. For demonstrating advantages and data availability, surface and profiling measurements at two sites were plotted. The plots show obvious seasonal and diel variations, demonstrating the success of integration of the system with advanced automated technology and good QC. This successfully developed system is now not only giving early warning signals, but also providing critical WQ information for the security of drinking water diverted to Hangzhou city through a tunnel of 110 km length. The automatic monitoring data with QC is also being used to produce initial conditions for WQ prediction based on a three dimensional hydrodynamic-ecosystem model.

The paper analyzes the dynamics of indicators characterizing the state of various functional body systems in patients with metabolic syndrome with the combined use of transcranial magnetic therapy and low-frequency electrostatic field in order to identify the main predictors of effectiveness. It was found that with such exposure, against the background of a significant increase in clinical efficacy, the degree of variation of dynamic changes increases, which is due to the difference in the initial condition of patients. It was revealed that the most pronounced therapeutic effect is observed in patients with preserved reserve and adaptive capabilities in the system of hemostasis, lipid peroxidation, micro-circulatory system and insulin regulation of glucose metabolism.
New disclosure requirements for fair value in financial statements
Authors:   Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod”, Druzhilovskaya Emilia Sergeevna
Published: February 2022

Currently, fair value is already actively used in the Russian Federal Accounting Standards (FAS). To an even greater extent, the projects of the new FAS are expanding the scope of application of this value in domestic accounting. As a result, in the future there will most likely not be a single item of accounting for which fair value is not used. Thus, the rules related to the fair value are becoming more and more relevant. It should be noted that the FAS does not establish these rules, but refers organizations (including healthcare organizations) to the regulations of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 13. This standard, in turn, is currently at the stage of amendments. Thus, the developers plan to make significant adjustments to the requirements for disclosure of information about fair value in financial statements established by this standard. Since these changes may also affect Russian accounting (due to the active use of such value in it), it is necessary to analyze in detail the above new requirements already now to be ready for their application in the future. In addition, this analysis will also be relevant for numerous domestic organizations that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS. This article is devoted to the study of the above issues. Analysis and synthesis, grouping method, comparison, analogy method, systemic approach, logical approach were used as research methods. As a result of the research carried out, the new requirements of IFRS 13 for disclosure of information about fair value in financial statements are subdivided in the article into groups and subgroups, and a critical analysis of the relevant regulations relating to these groups has been carried out. At the same time, the article identified the main problems in this area and identified ways to solve them.

Authors: Withanage Nishadi Nethmini , Botfield Jessica R , Srinivasan Sonia , Black Kirsten I , Mazza Danielle
Published: February 2022

Background

Pregnancy outcomes can be adversely affected by a range of modifiable risk factors, including alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, drug use, and poor nutrition, during the preconception period. Preconception care (PCC) involves interventions that identify and seek to change behavioural, biomedical, and social risks present in reproductive-aged women and men. Primary care is well situated to offer PCC interventions but the effectiveness of these interventions is not clear.

Aim

To evaluate the effectiveness of primary care-based PCC delivered to reproductive-aged women and/or men to improve health knowledge, reduce preconception risk factors, and improve pregnancy outcomes.

Design & setting

A systematic review of primary care-based PCC.

Method

Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases will be searched for English language studies published between July 1999 and May 2021. For inclusion, the PCC intervention must be provided in a primary care setting and intervention recipients must be reproductive-aged women and/or men. All stages of screening and data extraction will involve a dual review. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) will be used to assess the methodological quality of studies. This protocol adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) reporting guidelines.

Conclusion

Findings will determine the effectiveness of primary care-based preconception interventions delivered to reproductive-aged women and men on improving health knowledge, reducing risk factors, and improving pregnancy outcomes. Findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

A aplicação de gabiões em sistemas de meandros: um caso de recuperação pontual de área degradada
Authors: Petrillo Tupac B.
Published: February 2022

Atendendo uma necessidade ambiental e cumprindo um protocolo de controle de fluxo hídrico, foi executada uma obra em margem de rio, com utilização de técnicas de obra em gabião. Reconduzindo o processo erosivo para o eixo do rio, conseguiu-se impedir a evolução do recuo paralelo da vertente, eliminando o risco de solapamento e destruição da margem. Esta técnica utiliza parâmetros de dinâmica hídrica em sistemas de meandros fluviais, comuns a áreas citadinas, sujeitas a riscos e vulnerabilidade. O Sistema de controle de processos erosivos aqui demonstrado proporciona intervenções rápidas, seguras e de baixo custo. Também, emprega materiais e técnicas que possuem uma tendência à colmatação, integrando a obra hidráulica à paisagem, gerando menor impacto visual e maior adaptação à paisagem urbana.
La reducción del riesgo de inundación mediante la ordenación del territorio: evolución y avances en España. Algunos ejemplos
Authors: Olcina Cantos Jorge
Published: February 2022

Las inundaciones siguen siendo el peligro atmosférico de mayores efectos socio- económicos en todo el mundo. Y las perspectivas futuras contemplan un aumento del impacto de estos eventos en el marco del contexto actual de calentamiento climático. En los últimos años, se ha producido un cambio -necesario- en las acciones para la reducción del riesgo, valorándose ahora en mayor grado las actuaciones “blandas” basadas en la ordenación del territorio y la recuperación del territorio fluvial. Este trabajo hace balance de la efectividad de la ordenación del territorio y la cartografía como herramienta para la reducción del riesgo de inundaciones. Se analizan dos ejemplos de buenas actuaciones (País Vasco y Comunidad Valenciana).
Quantificação das mudanças recentes na forma e volume da restinga do Cabedelo, foz do rio Douro

Published: February 2022

O Cabedelo da foz do rio Douro é uma das maiores e mais importantes restingas portuguesas. Através da análise de ortoimagens grátis, da aplicação DSAS (Digital Shoreline Analysis System v.05), e análise de MDT’s do Programa COSMO quantificaram-se as movimentações recentes e as alterações no volume do Cabedelo do Douro. Constatou-se que a restinga aumentou significativamente após a construções dos molhes na foz do Douro (2004-2007) e alterou-se, sectorialmente, o volume. Os novos dados disponíveis abrem a possibilidade de análises topo-hidrográficas evolutivas com grande pormenor e rigor altimétrico.
Risco ambiental de poluição por microplásticos: a importância da análise de distribuição espacial
Authors: Amorim Leitão Inês , Ferreira António Dinis
Published: February 2022

A poluição antropogénica é um problema mundial que contribui para a degradação dos ecossistemas, com impactos na saúde humana. Poluentes emergentes como os microplásticos devem ser estudados, dado o fraco conhecimento existente e o difícil controlo da sua entrada e ocorrência no meio ambiente. De forma a conhecer o nível de poluição de microplásticos em determinado local, torna-se importante conectá-lo a diferentes níveis de uso do solo e, consequentemente, a diferentes fontes. O presente trabalho avalia o risco da ocorrência de microplásticos em diferentes tipos de usos do solo de acordo com eventos passados e possíveis fontes. A representação e análise espacial em larga escala assume um papel relevante na ligação e controlo das fontes e meios de transporte de microplásticos.

Nos últimos anos os ambientes vem sendo modificados como resultado da ocupação desordenada e da utilização inadequada de seus recursos, contribuindo para produzir alterações nas suas características naturais. A área objeto deste estudo - a Ribeira do Pinto/Bacia do Rio Lis - é constituída por agentes e processos de acumulação fluvial pela alimentação de sedimentos e pela configuração do modelado, condicionando a formação de ambientes inclinados à suscetibilidade. A metodologia seguiu pressupostos das pesquisas em Geografia Física, com observação e complementação de dados através de consultas a bibliografia específica. Quanto aos aspectos da suscetibilidade ambiental, tomou-se como referencial os impactos naturais e antrópicos, onde os processos de degradação estão em ritmo crescente, ocorrendo uma diminuição dos recursos naturais.
De la résilience à la résilience urbaine
Authors: Veyret Yvette
Published: February 2022

L’analyse des risques (naturels, technologiques…) et des crises a privilégié d’abord l’étude des aléas, puis de la vulnérabilité. Désormais c’est la résilience qui fait l’objet de nombreux travaux et met l’accent sur le rôle majeur des populations soumises au risque et à la crise. Néanmoins la dimension opérationnelle de la résilience est encore très discutée. Dans la première partie de ce travail, sont envisagées les origines de la notion de résilience et sa définition. Dans la seconde partie la résilience urbaine dans plusieurs de ses dimensions est évoquée, ex ante pour réduire le risque, l’intégrer aux aménagements et faire en sorte que l’‘ampleur de la crise qui pourrait survenir soit réduite, ex post afin de dépasser la crise et de retrouver des conditions de vie acceptable le plus rapidement possible.
