Abstract. Since 1990, natural hazards have led to over 1.6 million fatalities globally, and economic losses are estimated at an average of around USD 260–310 billion per year. The scientific and policy communities recognise the need to reduce these risks. As a result, the last decade has seen a rapid development of global models for assessing risk from natural hazards at the global scale. In this paper, we review the scientific literature on natural hazard risk assessments at the global scale, and we specifically examine whether and how they have examined future projections of hazard, exposure, and/or vulnerability. In doing so, we examine similarities and differences between the approaches taken across the different hazards, and we identify potential ways in which different hazard communities can learn from each other. For example, there are a number of global risk studies focusing on hydrological, climatological, and meteorological hazards that have included future projections and disaster risk reduction measures (in the case of floods), whereas fewer exist in the peer-reviewed literature for global studies related to geological hazards. On the other hand, studies of earthquake and tsunami risk are now using stochastic modelling approaches to allow for a fully probabilistic assessment of risk, which could benefit the modelling of risk from other hazards. Finally, we discuss opportunities for learning from methods and approaches being developed and applied to assess natural hazard risks at more continental or regional scales. Through this paper, we hope to
encourage further dialogue on knowledge sharing between disciplines and
communities working on different hazards and risk and at different spatial
scales.

Abstract. Land subsidence caused by large-scale engineering
construction may damage the surrounding infrastructures and cause huge
economic losses in inner-city environments. In this study, we used PS-InSAR
technology on 68 TerraSAR-X images to acquire deformation in the Beijing
Plain between February 2010 and December 2018. Then, we calculated the
additional stress derived from building loads using the method proposed by
Boussinesq in the Central Business District (CBD). We found that the depth
of influence of additional stresses induced by building loads was 80 m and
that spatial distribution pattern of the land subsidence rate agreed well
with the additional stress. We found that the influence range of ground
subsidence caused by metro construction is 200 m at Ciqikou station by
analyzing the subsidence rate profile perpendicular to subway line No. 7 and
that the maximum land subsidence rate is 23.2 mm yr−1. Time series
analysis of PS around Ciqikou station shows that land subsidence caused by
excavation activities mainly occurs in the period of metro construction.
Ground deformation rate decreases gradually after 372 d of subway
operation. The results of both cases show that large-scale engineering
construction will lead to significant land subsidence which should be
considered in future urbanization.

Abstract. Land subsidence is a worldwide geohazard caused by various factors, and its direct impact is loss of elevation, which is especially severe in coastal areas due to sea level rise. Quantifying contributions of compressed strata is significant for evaluating the subsidence. In this paper, we used distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) with Brillouin scattering to monitor the strain distribution along optical cables embedded in a borehole located in Tianjin, China. The novel technique revealed that the land subsidence rate was 21.2 mm a−1 from 2017 to 2019. The strata contributed to the subsidence have been identified in the range of 3 to 35 m. The results showed good agreement with those obtained by a group of extensometers. We demonstrated that DFOS could be a supplement to land subsidence monitoring technologies in coastal areas.

Published: April 2020

Abstract. Multiple processes contributing to natural land subsidence in a shallow coastal aquifer near Ravenna (Italy) were identified by analysing the relationships among different data set time series (water table level, rainfall, land reclamation drainage, sea level, etc.) and establishing the correlations with vertical ground motion observed at a high-resolution settlement gauge. Our study highlights the presence of three deformation components related to different processes controlling land subsidence: elastic, delayed-elastic, and irreversible (plastic) components. The elastic and delayed-elastic components are closely related to water table fluctuations that change the effective stress in two portions of the coastal aquifer at a daily (in the sandy unconfined portion) and seasonal
time scales (in the layered clay-rich semi-confined prodelta portion),
respectively. The irreversible component represents the trend in the land
subsidence time series and is due to primary consolidation (pore pressure
dissipation) of the fine-grained prodelta levels above where the settlement
gauge is located. The amplitudes of the elastic component can be up to
0.2–0.3 mm whereas the amplitude of the delayed-elastic component reaches
0.89 mm. The primary consolidation rate of deformation is 0.9 mm yr−1 and constrains the likely age of prodelta sediments deposition to 1300–2800 years before present. The delayed-elastic subsidence rate has similar magnitude to that due to primary consolidation and is connected to poroelastic effects in the prodelta sequence following seasonal variations in water table. Our findings are important for planning land subsidence management and monitoring strategies especially where the surface aquifer structure is heterogeneous due to different depositional settings. The natural land subsidence rate in the Holocene sediments of the shallow coastal aquifer of Ravenna (North eastern Italy) that we measured in this study accounts for 10 %–20 % of the total current land subsidence rate observed in this portion of Ravenna coastal area (10–20 mm yr−1).
Altered surface hydrology as a potential mechanism for subsidence in coastal Louisiana
Authors: Nienhuis Jaap H. , Törnqvist Torbjörn E. , Erkens Gilles 
Published: April 2020

Abstract. The natural wetlands of coastal Louisiana are
experiencing rapid subsidence rates averaging 9±1 mm yr−1. Recent
measurements based on GPS data and CRMS surface elevation tables (SETs) have
shown that most of the subsidence is shallow and occurs in the uppermost 5
meters. Sources of subsidence and the origin of their spatial variability
are strongly debated. Here we use CRMS SETs together with historic maps of
coastal Louisiana to explore two hypotheses: (i) shallow subsidence is a
result of accommodation created by (long-term) deep subsidence processes and
self-weight consolidation, and (ii) changes in marsh hydrology (groundwater
and surface water flows) have led to a recent increase in shallow
subsidence. First, we find that, although self-weight consolidation would result in
generally high observed shallow subsidence rates, it does not explain the
rates nor the spatial variability of the CRMS SET data. Second, based on
historic maps, we find that shallow subsidence rates are significantly
higher for CRMS sites where shipping canals have reduced their distance to
the marsh edge. This is potentially a result from increased sediment
deposition, but CRMS data also show altered groundwater levels near the
marsh edge. We find some indication that prolonged periods of low water
could have led to increases in effective stresses that explain some of the
rapid rates of shallow subsidence observed along Louisiana's coastline.
Detection and measurement of land subsidence and uplift using interferometric synthetic aperture radar, San Diego, California, USA, 2016–2018

Published: April 2020

Abstract. Land subsidence associated with groundwater-level declines is stipulated as an “undesirable effect” in California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), and has been identified as a potential issue in San Diego, California, USA. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Sweetwater Authority, and the City of San Diego, undertook a cooperative study to better understand the hydromechanical response of the coastal aquifer system using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques. Three periods of interest were analyzed for this study that correspond to the periods before and after two substantial changes were made to the location and volume of pumpage: (1) April–August 2016 when groundwater levels and land surface elevation were relatively stable during normal pumping, (2) September 2016–May 2017 when groundwater levels recovered and the land surface uplifted during a period of substantially reduced pumping, (3) June 2017–October 2018 when groundwater levels declined and land subsidence occurred when pumpage resumed and expanded to new wells. Spatial and temporal characterization of the hydromechanical response to changes in pumpage is important for managing land subsidence. Further study using InSAR techniques, especially when combined with ground-based geodetic and monitoring-well networks, will provide water managers information to help effectively manage groundwater resources as stipulated in the SGMA.

Abstract. Two earth fissures appeared in Murcia province (southeastern Spain)
after the flood occurred because of a heavy downpour on 28 September 2012.
In this area, located within the Guadalentín Valley, up to 212 L m−2 was reported that day. More than 200 agricultural
exploitations were destroyed by the flooding, with a devastating effect on
many infrastructures, such as a main A-7 highway bridge that collapsed in
this event. The earth fissures appeared after this flooding in the towns of
Puerto Lumbreras and Totana. The first fissure showed a straight-line
direction approximately parallel to the main geological structures of the
Guadalentín Valley. The total length of the fissure was 400 m and was 2 to 3 m in depth. The soil in the fissure is classified as a low-plasticity silt with
some sand and clay, ML, according to the Unified Soil Classification System.
From the sieve and hydrometer tests, the percentage of silt in these samples
was between 48 % and 68 %, the clay content between 12 % and 30 % and the sand
content between 2 % and 40 %. The plasticity index was smaller than 9.2 for all
the samples. To evaluate the piping and internal erosion susceptibility of
the soil, pinhole, crumb and geochemical tests were done on the collected
samples. A result of non-dispersive soil was obtained from crumb and pinhole
tests. Nevertheless, the pH, sodium adsorption ratio and exchangeable sodium
percentage tests showed that some samples could be affected by the
dispersion of the soil. Also, the collapsible potential of the soil was
studied, showing negative results for all the samples except for that
collected at the southern end of the fissure, which showed a medium to high
potential. Concerning the Totana fissure, it appeared with different
branches and holes instead of as a rectilinear pattern. The total length of
the fissure was 190 m, with the soil characterized as a silty soil. Lastly,
INSAR data, GPS, GPR and land subsidence maps were used to study the
possible origin of these fissures.
Last-Mile Delivery in the Motor-Carrier Industry: A Panel Data Investigation Using Discrete Time Event History Analysis

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Industry analysts have noted that the rise of e-commerce has increased the demand for last-mile delivery services, defined as the last-mile transportation of large, bulky items (e.g., furniture) that cannot be shipped by parcel carriers to consumers' locations. Although last-mile delivery has become crucial for retail logistics, no research has examined which carriers are more likely to diversify into last-mile delivery. As such decisions require large investments, motor carriers have an interest in understanding their peers' behaviors in this domain. Drawing on resource orchestration theory and Penrose's theory of firm growth, we devise middle-range theory that explains why carriers' provision of less-than-truckload (LTL) or expedite services will increase their likelihood of subsequently offering last-mile delivery services. Our theory further explains why these services will serve as substitutes such that the marginal effect of providing LTL services on subsequently offering last-mile delivery will be less when a carrier also offers expedite services, and vice versa. To test our theory, we assemble an archival panel dataset from Inbound Logistics, a premier industry publication, that summarizes carriers' various delivery services. Results from discrete time event history models corroborate our theorized predictions.
Logistics of the Future—Physical Internet and Its Practicality
Authors: Matusiewicz Maria 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and trade on a global scale. The Internet of Things makes objects and devices that we use every day—from interior design (home appliances) to sensors in infrastructure (bridges, roads, buildings)—more efficient by enabling them to transmit data and connecting them in the cloud. The next stage is the Physical Internet (PI), which heralds the adoption of technology and methodology of Digital Internet to the real (physical) world. Physical Internet pushes boundaries for research and practice, and its goal is to optimize logistics processes to create more efficient and sustainable supply chains. The article points to the chances that the Physical Internet brings to the logistics efficiency from an EU perspective. The article describes the formal EU preparation for the PI concept as well as the selected first projects, ventures, and tools that already function as prototypes of the PI concept.
(Un)-damning Subplots: The Principate of Domitian Between Literary Sources and Fresh Material Evidence
Authors: Spinelli Tommaso , Gregori Gian Luca 
Published: April 2020

AbstractMoving beyond the methodological issues of a literary-based reassessment of the reign of the last Flavian emperor, this article re-reads the principate of Domitian in light of fresh epigraphic and numismatic evidence that has only been discovered or fully understood in recent years. This exploration documents the progressive ingraining into second-century literature of an unfavorable vulgate on Domitian’s architectural, moral, and religious policies, the positive impact of which is, however, documented by material sources. In addition to contributing to the ongoing revaluation of Domitian, this article displays the benefits of a cross-fertilizing and interdiscursive reading of literary and material sources.
Speed and Politics: Domitian andceleritasin Statius’sSilvae
Authors: Liney Nicolas 
Published: April 2020

AbstractStatius’s self-professed speed of production (celeritas) in the Silvae is often understood as an antagonistic response to Callimachean and neoteric poetics and a reflection of Flavian culture’s penchant for extempore production. While undoubtedly true, this article argues that Statius’s celeritas gains fuller meaning when held up against the traditional Roman valorization of military speed, the clearest representative of which was Julius Caesar. This has interesting ramifications when we consider the importance of Domitian’s complicated self-presentation as an exemplary military leader, which Flavian poets appropriated in various ways. Ultimately, Lucan’s troubling portrayal of Julius Caesar in the Bellum Civile lingers in the background of the Silvae, making any profession of poetic and military celeritas an ambiguous, and possibly dangerous, topic.

Quando as flores caem: O teatro lambe-lambe e a iluminação cênica como modelos de criação desierárquica
Authors: Viola Daniele Rocha 
Published: April 2020

Através da análise da concepção do espetáculo de teatro lambe-lambe Quando as Flores Caem apresento o meu estudo de iluminação cênica no teatro de sombras em escala reduzida, com a perspectiva da desierarquização dos elementos cênicos através de uma relação de equilíbrio na criação. A desierarquização é o movimento ou a ação de quebrar com as hierarquias, para que os elementos cênicos assumam um lugar de igualdade, com o mesmo valor hierárquico, de modo que, consequentemente, a criação se dá de forma integrada. Entre o processo e o espetáculo, apresento aqui um breve estudo de caso para o teatro lambe-lambe e a iluminação cênica.

<p>Apresentar e compreender as práticas governamentais que afetaram negativamente a ciência brasileira entre os anos de 2016 e 2017 é o objetivo desse trabalho. A substituição do governo Dilma pelo governo Temer trouxe uma série de consequências para a Ciência brasileira. A sanção da PEC 55, a privatização da Petrobrás e a extinção da lei do Pré-sal são algumas das ações do governo brasileiro que causaram uma mudança drástica nas políticas de financiamentos de pesquisa. Para analisar essa realidade nos subsidiamos no materialismo histórico dialético a partir de duas categorias a totalidade e a violência que explicitam a natureza do fenômeno estudado.</p>
