The Relationship Between Social Support and Family Functioning Among Married Multiple Sclerosis Patients in Iran with the Mediating Role of Spiritual Experiences and Moral Foundations
Authors: Namvar Hooman , Sahraian Mohammad Ali
Published: September 2022

Objectives: When a married family member suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS), the collective physical and psychosocial well-being of the family is impacted and much of the burden is on the healthier spouse. The purpose of the present study was to determine the contribution of psychosocial support from spouses, friends, and others in overall family functioning in respect of Iranian patients with MS, considering the mediating role of spiritual experiences and moral foundations. Methods: Spouses of patients with MS were chosen through the judgmental sampling method. The research instruments comprised the Family Assessment Device, Social Support Appraisals Scale, Daily Spiritual Experience Scale, and Moral Foundations Questionnaire. Data analysis was done through the path analysis technique. Results: The subjects comprised 220 spouses of MS patients. We found a significant relationship between family support path and overall functioning mediated by the variable ‘spiritual experiences’, the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) value being < 0.001. Similarly, the relationship between spiritual experiences and moral foundations had a significant effect on overall family functioning (RMSEA < 0.001). After eliminating insignificant relationships and estimating fit indicators, the modified (adjusted) model indicated goodness of fit with data. Conclusions: This study found, for the first time in the Iranian community, a significant effect of family support focused on spouses of MS patients compared to the support from friends and others, with regard to family functioning. The mediating roles of spiritual experiences and moral foundations were confirmed. Further studies are suggested to delve into the role of family support for MS patients in developing countries.
Clima, meio ambiente urbano e a dengue em Salvador

Published: September 2022

Em uma realidade em que todos olham para o desastre da Covid-19, outras epidemias de elevada gravidade continuam a atuar sem a atenção das autoridades públicas e da comunidade em geral. Dentre essas se destacam as chamadas arboviroses, como a dengue, zika e chikungunya. O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo o estudo dos principais fatores ambientais urbanos que explicam a elevada ocorrência da dengue em território nacional, destacando o caso da cidade de Salvador, no estado da Bahia. Para tanto, foi efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica abrangente sobre o tema e considerados os dados disponíveis das ocorrências da doença na cidade, nos últimos anos anteriores à chegada da pandemia da Covid-19. As conclusões, de acordo com os dados levantados, são de que a incidência da doença não apresenta padrões ambientais relevantes, além do aumento sazonal, provocado pela maior precipitação pluviométrica associada às altas temperaturas médias. Observa-se, no entanto, uma clara adaptação do vetor às condições do clima tropical úmido, tornando as arboviroses em endemias de difícil combate.
O processo de gentrificação ambiental e o microclima
Authors: Cantuária Gustavo Alexandre  Cardoso , Borges Clarianne Martins Braga
Published: September 2022

No crescimento acelerado dos centros urbanos, destaca-se o processo de gentrificação ambiental – um fenômeno que reforça a desigualdade no campo social e ambiental das cidades. Este artigo se propõe a uma abordagem teórica que enfatiza a questão da gentrificação ambiental e sua relação com as mudanças microclimáticas. Entre as modificações das condições do microclima está a substituição da cobertura natural do solo pelo ambiente construído. A retirada da cobertura vegetal, a impermeabilização e os adensamentos desorganizados do espaço influenciam o microclima urbano. Partindo dessa constatação, o objetivo do estudo é correlacionar o processo de gentrificação ambiental às mudanças microclimáticas em espaços urbanos no Distrito Federal. Interessa, portanto, examinar e aferir as relações existentes entre os fatores do processo de gentrificação ambiental e o clima urbano, o que compreende uma análise das temperaturas, das trocas térmicas, da presença de vegetação em áreas urbanas, da evapotranspiração e da morfologia urbana. O artigo percorre a metodologia de uma pesquisa de base bibliográfica, histórica, desenvolvida por meio do método hipotético-dedutivo. De modo específico, em análise qualitativa, pretende-se comprovar a hipótese de que o crescimento acelerado e desordenado do Distrito Federal poderia, de forma negativa, afetar as questões microclimáticas e amplificar o processo de gentrificação ambiental. Verifica-se, ainda, que, em tese, não seria demais considerar que o processo de aprimoramento democrático da paisagem urbana, em resposta à questão da gentrificação ambiental poderia ser estabelecido em bases inclusivas, destinadas, efetivamente, à construção plural da paisagem urbana. Seria desejável, de igual modo, que a paisagem viesse a representar a manutenção e reconstrução de áreas de vegetação, favorecendo o microclima urbano e a sustentabilidade ambiental. As ações ambientais integradas entre o poder público e o indivíduo são capazes de criar instrumentos democráticos capazes de viabilizar a realização do direito à cidade.Palavras Chaves: Gentrificação ambiental.

Controle da qualidade do ar interno nos ambientes
Authors: Figueiredo Chenia , Faria Cybelle Saad
Published: September 2022

O ar interno de ambientes construídos, local onde as pessoas passam a maior parte do tempo, pode ser mais poluído que o ar externo. A qualidade do ar interno (QAI) dos ambientes afeta diretamente a saúde, o conforto e a produtividade dos ocupantes. Doenças e outros desconfortos relacionados a edifícios têm sido atribuídos a uma variedade de causas como baixa ventilação, presença de contaminantes, atividades humanas, umidade, entre outros. No entanto, a falta de métricas e padrões consistentes e consenso sobre o que constitui uma QAI favorável, a diversidade e complexidade de poluentes encontrados, a falta de compreensão das ligações entre os níveis de poluentes em ambientes fechados e a falta de requisitos para medir e monitorar a QAI leva à falta de consistência dos problemas potenciais e das soluções. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura, este artigo desenvolve uma discussão sobre as normas brasileiras e as internacionais relacionadas à qualidade do ar, os principais contaminantes do ar interno e o papel da qualidade do ar nas certificações ambientais. O objetivo é formar uma base de dados atualizada para direcionar pesquisas na área. Observa-se que ainda não é possível identificar critérios de regulamentação bem definidos e a relevância de controlar as fontes de contaminação do ar.
Cidades para quem?
Authors: Ramalho Almeida Élida Lorrane
Published: September 2022

RESUMO: O presente artigo tem como objetivo estudar a composição das cidades contemporâneas e seus espaços públicos que embora sejam considerados patrimônio cultural-nacional estão cada vez mais fragmentados e com menos possibilidades de interação social. Para tanto, há o engajamento numa discussão reflexiva sobre os espaços urbanos, vendo-os como lugares de encontro, trocas e interação e, mais importante, onde há uma estreita relação entre cidade, pessoas e sua qualidade de vida. Apresentando uma reflexão que enfatiza a dimensão humana como forma de observar o melhor uso do espaço público, confirmando o pressuposto de que uma boa cidade é feita e pensada por e para pessoas, admitindo o direito à cidade como garantia constitucional para os cidadãos. Deixando em evidência a urgente necessidade de discutir a idealização urbana das cidades, que independente de sua localização, economia e nível de desenvolvimento, desprezam o caminhar e voltam a atenção para outros fatores como o uso intensivo de veículos automobilísticos. Além disso, é benéfico analisar a relação entre espaços públicos de alta qualidade e a ocupação desses espaços por pessoas.Palavras-chave: Cidades. Espaço urbano. Pessoas.
Repensar a democracia: a hipótese da democracia aleatória revisada
Authors: Dutra Deo Campos , Oliveira Junior Eduardo Francisco de
Published: September 2022

O artigo tem por escopo traçar um panorama preliminar do atual estado da arte da democracia, seus moldes e estruturas representativos, bem como, os obstáculos modernos, tais quais a influência e a manipulação da mídia e de todo o campo semiótico – tendo em mente o crescimento das notícias falsas; a conversão dos indivíduos em espectadores e consumidores, ao invés de cidadãos, que escolhem representantes na ânsia de não decidirem. Ainda, a influência contemporânea do neoliberalismo e do neocolonialismo como forças políticas modificando as formas da democracia e da subjetividade. Nesse cenário, o estudo tenta verificar se o modelo arcaico da democracia aleatória poderia resolver alguns desses obstáculos, ampliando as possibilidades democráticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa inicial, baseada no método fenomenológico, usando a análise bibliográfica e documental, com objetivo exploratório.

Published: September 2022

Nas últimas décadas, houve um forte movimento para desenvolver tecnologias, qualificação de servidores públicos e sistemas de avaliação de desempenho, com o propósito de melhorar a eficiência do judiciário. Em contrapartida, pesquisas na área da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (QVT) alertam que muitas dessas mudanças em prol de celeridade e eficiência podem estar relacionadas com o adoecimento físico e mental dos profissionais. Em contribuição com os estudos relacionados à temática de QVT, este artigo traz um enfoque na carreira da magistratura. Pela técnica de Grupo Focal, foram identificadas algumas fontes de mal-estar na carreira dos juízes estaduais relacionadas ao uso isolado de métricas quantitativas para medir o trabalho do magistrado sem considerar adequadamente a especificidade qualitativa exigida nos instrumentos decisórios relacionados à prestação jurisdicional.

Pulmonary embolism prevalence in syncope patients brought to the emergency room by ambulance
Authors: YORULMAZ Şükrü , ÇELİK İbrahim Etem
Published: September 2022

Aim: Cohort studies have shown that syncope is one in four of the initial symptoms of acute pulmonary embolism. However, one in six patients who visit the emergency room for their first syncopal attack has acute pulmonary embolism. Additionally, the etiological relationship between acute pulmonary embolism and the possible prognostic impact of syncope on the early clinical course of a patient with acute pulmonary embolism remains unclear. Our research sought to detect the presence of pulmonary embolism and its contributing factors in syncope patients who were admitted to the emergency room.
Material and Method: The study comprised 215 individuals who had syncope and were transported by ambulance to the emergency department between January 2020 and January 2021. The age bracket for inclusion was 18 to 75, and the presence of solitary syncope, regardless of its cause, was required. Additionally, there had to be no clinical signs of shock or hypotension, and/or absence of right ventricular dysfunction at presentation.
Results: A total of 215 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 57 years and 64% of the patients were female. Pulmonary CT angiography was performed in 37 of the patients. Ventilation-perfusion examination was performed on 2 patients. Pulmonary embolism was confirmed in 14 patients, including a lower segment pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in 7 of 17 patients with no history of active cancer and a previous history of thromboembolism. The prevalence of pulmonary embolism was similar as predicted by the Wells score or Pulmonary Embolism Rule–Out Criteria in patients with low and moderate clinical probability.
Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that pulmonary embolism is rarely found in patients admitted to the emergency department with syncope. Althoughpulmonary embolismshould be considered as a differential diagnosis, it does not need to be evaluated in all patients. Otherwise, assessment can lead to false positive results and overtreatment, thereby increasing adverse events and healthcare costs.

Stability analysis of the Namibian power grid with integration of large offshore wind farms using a VSC-HVDC scheme
Authors:   , Mbaimbai Nicky K.
Published: September 2022

The use of the wind for electrical power production has seen a meteoric increase due to the wind being a free and abundantly available resource, especially when the site is offshore. The wind resource along the Namibian coastline could therefore be implemented to develop offshore wind farms that would enable Namibia to meet its steadily increasing power demand. The efficient transmission of bulk power from offshore sites to the onshore AC grid is widely achieved through voltage source converter-based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) schemes. This study aims to investigate the power system stability response of the Namibian network, particularly in terms of rotor angle stability, to the integration of large offshore wind farms. A single machine infinite bus (SMIB) model developed in DIgSILENT PowerFactory was used as a test bed for the study. Transient and small-signal stability analysis in relation to different fault scenarios on the main transmission lines were then carried out after doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) representing offshore wind farms were integrated into the SMIB model. The same methodology was applied on a reduced model of the NamPower network. DigSILENT PowerFactory’s VSC-HVDC offshore wind farm template model was integrated to a reduced model of the NamPower network. The entire network was then subjected to different fault scenarios along backbone transmission lines, major busbars and the HVDC link at different penetration levels of offshore wind power. The study established that the integration of large offshore wind farms using a VSC-HVDC scheme to the reduced NamPower network negatively affected the network's transient and small-signal stability. However, there was a positive impact on the voltage levels of the network due to the reactive power compensation supplied by the VSC-HVDC link. The VSC-HVDC link also maintained low-voltage ride-through of the offshore wind farms during faults that comply with the Namibian transmission grid code.

Six years after the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ in 2015, the European Union remains divided on questions of migration and asylum policy. The issue also remains high on the agendas of the USA and Russia, two other key destination countries with immigration from Latin America and the Post-Soviet space. This article presents results from a comparative study of news coverage in 17 countries, focusing on 10 EU member states in Western and Central Eastern Europe (CEE), the USA and Russia. The intensity of coverage was remarkably different, with Hungary’s and Germany’s media standing out while Russian media displayed relatively low levels of coverage. Individual migrants and refugees were most visible in the two outlets from the USA. Media in CEE countries tended towards a more critical approach than media in Western Europe. However, differences between most countries’ pairs of analyzed media outlets indicate a more pluralistic debate than frequently assumed.
Media Ownership Transparency and Editorial Autonomy as Corporate Social Responsibility in the Media Industry
Authors: Dimants Ainārs
Published: September 2022

This paper focuses on media ownership transparency and editorial autonomy in Latvia from the point of view how media companies engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This article takes a critical look at a representative sample of media outlets that relate to Latvia’s national peculiarities. The conclusion is that the ability of national media policy to really facilitate media ownership transparency and the editorial autonomy of media primarily does not depend on legal regulations, instead relies on co-regulation which links incentive national support policy for the media and their participation in a self-regulatory system.
Communicative Analysis of Dialogical Interaction

Published: September 2022

Dialogue studies suggest keys to understanding communicative behavior. The purpose of this article is to put forth a more complex and comprehensive approach to the analysis of interaction that incorporates quantitative metrics to reveal its entire communicative depth. The methods of discourse-analysis, initiative-response analysis, a theory of speech acts, conversational, cognitive, stylistic, statistical analyses as well as descriptive and interpretative methods have been united in one system to interpret the procedure and results of the cooperative and conflict dialogues chosen as an example. The integrated methodology produces a broader investigative view of communication, also because it allows measuring the level of dominance of interlocutors and explaining it in terms of power relations. In this way, it contributes to a better understanding of the multifaceted nature of dialogue without any characteristics to be underestimated. The methodology is an open system and is suggested as a sample of dialogical communication research.

Authors:   Chameli Devi Group of Institution, Sharma Rahul , Jaiswal Renu , Chakrawarti Ankit
Published: September 2022

In the past decades, as a result of the enormous environmental load, the air quality in the city has worsened in India. The remarkable increase in vehicle population and industries has led to the concentration of air pollutants in major metropolitan cities. The behavior of the air pollutants has a severs mash on human health and environment. To safeguard human health, the health risks posed by the increasing rate of air pollution on a wide scale must be projected and predicted. Monitoring and forecasting the vast amounts of data generated from numerous monitoring stations across the city has been a topic of debate. This led to the scientist to look for several predicting data mining techniques and big data analytics to monitor and predict the urban air quality. Data mining combines statistical, machine learning, and graphical approaches to extract information into a format that can be used in a variety of real-world applications. This study applies data mining to uncover the hidden knowledge of air pollution distribution in the voluminous data retrieved from monitoring stations National Air Monitoring Program (NAMP) station , National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards, Central Pollution Control Board. This article covers several ways to predicting urban air quality using data mining techniques such as linear regression, back propagation, and big data analytics such as Map reduction and Geostatistical algorithms

Published: September 2022

Self-Efficacy beliefs have a significant influence on persistence, resilience, personal well-being and achievement. The effects of positive psychology intervention in Colleges have received little attention to this. However, since positive psychology intervention offers a focus on the positive aspects of human experience. A quantitative approach was used in a small-scale study of Undergraduates in two primary Colleges. Self-constructed questionnaire was used to gather pre- and post-intervention data. Undergraduates in one College were introduced to aspects of positive psychology and participated in an intervention designed to cause reflection on ‘good things’. Undergraduates in a second College acted as a control group. Findings suggest that efficacy beliefs had been enhanced for Undergraduates who had participated in the intervention, but not in the comparable College where Undergraduates had acted as a control group. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed and suggestions made for future research.
Evaluation of open and closed path sampling systems for determination of emission rates of NH3 and CH4 with inverse dispersion modelling

Published: September 2022

Abstract. The gas emission rates of ammonia (NH3) and methane (CH4) from an artificial source covering a surface area of 254 m2 were determined by inverse dispersion modelling (IDM) from point and line-integrated concentration measurements with closed and open-path analyzers. Eight controlled release experiments were conducted with different release rates ranging from 3.8 ± 0.21 to 17.4 ± 0.4 mg s-1 and from 30.7 ± 1.4 to 142.8 ± 2.9 mg s-1 for NH3 and CH4, respectively. The distance between the source and concentration measurement positions ranged from 15 m to 60 m. Our study consisted of more than 200 fluxes averaged intervals of 10 min or 15 min. The different releases cover a range of different climate conditions: cold (< 5 °C), temperate (< 13 °C) and warm (< 18 °C). As the average of all releases with all instrument types, the CH4 recovery rate QbLS/Q was 0.95 ± 0.08 (n = 19). There was much more variation in the recovery of NH3, with an average of 0.66 ± 0.15 (n = 10) for all the releases with the line-integrated system. However, with an improved sampling line placed close to the source an average recovery rate of 0.82 ± 0.05 (n = 3) was obtained for NH3. Under comparable conditions, the recovery rate obtained with an open-path analyzer was 0.91 ± 0.07 (n = 3).

The eruption of Hunga volcano, Tonga is the most energetic event recorded by the infrasound component of the global International Monitoring System (IMS). Infrasound, acoustic-gravity and Lamb waves were recorded by all 53 operational stations after circling four times the globe. The atmospheric waves recorded globally exhibit amplitude and period comparable to the ones observed following the 1883 Krakatoa eruptions. In the context of the future verification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, this event provides a prominent milestone for studying in detail infrasound propagation around the globe for almost one week as well as for calibrating the performance of the IMS network in a broad frequency band.
HMS Challenger and SMS Gazelle – their 19th century voyages compared
Authors: Gould W. John
Published: September 2022

Abstract. This paper analyses the pioneering global voyages of HMS
Challenger and SMS Gazelle in the 1870s – a time of rapid scientific advances and
technological innovation. The voyage of Challenger has become well known as marking
the start of the global-scale science of oceanography. The voyage of the
Gazelle is much less well known despite the two voyages ending in the same year,
1876, and having similar geographical and scientific scope. Rather than focussing on the scientific achievements, the paper concentrates
on how the expeditions were planned and executed, the lives and characters
of the personnel involved, and the underlying motivation behind the voyages.
The paper presents the author's translations of key elements of the
Gazelle reports as a means of introducing the Gazelle expedition to an English-speaking
readership.
Impact of canopy scale heterogeneity on modelling the water and energy budget of a rainfed olive orchard
Authors: Zied Sassi
Published: September 2022

The representation of soil-atmosphere exchanges is fundamental to understand the surface level processes and their interaction with the biosphere. Land surface models (LSM) are continuously improved to better represent these interactions. However, several surface heterogeneity factors such as localized water supply, land covers or various vegetation species make it still challenging to realistically represent the different surface processes. The three dimensional forest model MAESPA and the one dimensional soil-atmosphere-biosphere interaction model ISBA have been applied in order to study the water and energy budgets of the rain-fed olive orchard of Nasrallah in semi-arid area.  Both models have similar approach in terms of soil representation while MAESPA model uses a 3-D individual trees representation and simulation. The aim of this work is to take into account the Nasrallah site heterogeneity factors in order to improve the representation of surface processes. The outcome of this work underlines the contribution of a better consideration of the olive orchard spatial heterogeneity on the surface fluxes simulation. Improvement in water and energy fluxes estimation with more realistic transpiration evaluation have been found compared to field observations with smaller RMSE especially for evapotranspiration by up to 0.2 mm and net radiation flux by up to 7 W/m2.

La Mesa de Los Santos is located in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia and configures a plateau marked by a shortage of potable surface water. The isotopic study of the rain and its relation to Los Santos Formation phreatic aquifer was carried out. Los Santos Formation is divided into three members: Upper Member (well cemented quartz sandstones), Middle Member (siltstones, claystones and sandstones) and Lower Member (sandstones and conglomerates). Phreatic aquifer groundwater circulates in the Upper Member. On the plateau, 4 stations were installed to collect rainwater samples monthly for stable isotopes (n=46) from October 2020 to September 2021. The seasonal behavior of Oxygen-18 and Deuterium is similar in the four stations, and the Local Meteoric Water Line is δ2H=8.22×δ18O+13.8. The rain-weighted average values of Oxygen-18 and Deuterium (V-SMOW) in each station are: -8.99‰, -61.4‰ (height=1275masl, P=764mm); -8.78‰, -58.5‰ (height=1678masl, P=1869mm); -8.51‰, -54.5‰ (height=1684masl, P=1469mm); -8.13‰, -52.2‰ (height=1433masl, P=1030mm), respectively. The isotopic composition of the rainwater does not correlate with the elevation or the precipitation height. From the phreatic aquifer, 35 groundwater points (wells, borehole and springs) were monitored for stable isotopes (n=134) in the months of December 2020, February, April, June, and August 2021. Three behaviors were differentiated in the isotopic composition of Oxygen-18. Large temporal variability (differences greater than 1‰ in δ18O) apply to 10 groundwater points showing δ18O values between -9.64 and -5.19‰ (with two outliers at -1.1 and -3.8‰), in accordance with the monthly behavior of the rain, considering flows with rapid transit on a monthly scale. 21 groundwater points show a low temporal variability (differences less than 1‰ in δ18O), presenting a distribution of Oxygen-18 with enriched values towards the north (between -6.71 and -6.00‰) and depleted values towards the south (-8.97 to -8.14‰), which tends to be also consistent with the rain, although with a better mix of groundwater and a slower transit than the previous behavior. Finally, 4 groundwater points present signs of evaporation, showing values of Oxygen-18 between -6.2 and -3.1‰ and d-excess values between -6.4 and +4.3‰, which are related to surface water bodies that undergo evaporation before the infiltration process.
Influence of intensive agriculture and geological heterogeneity on the recharge of an arid aquifer system (Saq-Ram, Arabian Peninsula)

This study assesses the detailed water budget of the Saq-Ram Aquifer System (520 000 km²) over the 2002-2019 period using satellite-gravity data from the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE). The three existing GRACE solutions (JPL, CSR, GSFC) were tested for their local compatibility to compute groundwater storage variations in combination with soil moisture datasets (VIC, CLSM, NOAH) available from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) land surface models. Accounting for groundwater pumping (15.7 ± 1.1 mm yr-1), artificial recharge (2.2 ±

0.8 mm yr-1) and natural discharge (0.3 ± 0.06 mm yr-1) uniformly distributed over the Saq-Ram domain, the GRACE-derived water mass balance calculation yields a long-term estimate of the domain-averaged natural recharge of 2.4 ± 1.4 mm yr-1, corresponding to 4.4 ± 2.6% of the annual average rainfall.

Beyond the global approach proposed here, spatial heterogeneities regarding the groundwater recharge were identified. The first source of heterogeneity is of anthropogenic origin. Within agricultural plots, irrigation excess is great enough to artificially recharge the aquifer (i.e. 167 ± 83 mm yr-1 distributed over irrigated areas). However, on the outskirts of these crop areas subjected only to the natural recharge but still influenced by pumping drawdown, there is a risk of relative disconnection from the infiltration front with the declining water table (i.e.  the unsaturated zone thickens faster than percolation flows through it), making effective recharge locally zero. The second source of recharge heterogeneity identified here is natural: Volcanic lava deposits (called Harrats on the Arabian Peninsula) which cover 8% of the Saq-Ram Aquifer domain but contribute to more than 50% of the total natural recharge. Hence, in addition to this application on the Arabian Peninsula, this study strongly indicates a major control of geological context on arid aquifer recharge which has been poorly discussed hitherto.
Challenges of machine learning based post-processing methods for sub-seasonal forecasts
Authors: Bogner Konrad , Chang Annie Y.-Y. , Zappa Massimiliano
Published: September 2022

The skill of hydro-meteorological forecasts usually drops to zero at horizons beyond 10 to 14 days and predictions of daily values with a lead-time of more than two weeks deceive an unrealistic reliability and accuracy. However, the advances of ensemble forecast systems, the aggregation of daily information to weeks and the classification of variables (e.g. classifying the runoff in terciles, i.e.  below, above or within “normal” conditions in view of climatology) extend the skill of forecasts up to three weeks. With the help of post-processing methods, the skill can even be further extended up to four weeks.

Machine Learning (ML) based post-processing methods are becoming more and more popular. Several ML methods have been compared for classifying hydrological forecasts into terciles ranging from Multinomial to complex Deep Neural Networks models (DNN).  For the verification of the predicted classes and their associated probabilities the accuracy measure and the cross-entropy (log-loss) have been calculated.  The models have been applied to monthly forecasts for Switzerland divided into 300 catchments and run operationally with a 500mx500m resolution (www.drought.ch).

All the analyzed ML methods showed good results and are able to improve the accuracy and the cross-entropy equally well. The focus of further investigations has been laid on the Gaussian Process (GP) model. This method has the advantage that class probabilities can be calculated directly.  Furthermore, several studies highlighted recently the linkage between the GP and Bayesian DNN. The results of this study confirmed these similarities favoring the less complex GP model.  In order to take the uncertainty of the measurements and simulations into account, a multi-label classification (MLC) method has been introduced. Contrary to classical classification methods, the classes in MLC are not mutually exclusive. Thus, it avoids the sharp assignment to discrete classes, but allows that for example a runoff value measured (possibly with some error) at the border of one class could belong to the neighboring classes at the same time. The MLC method applied with a GP model showed the best results regarding accuracy and cross-entropy for all 300 catchments and significantly improves the skill over the whole forecast horizon of four weeks.
