Risk Assessment of Urban Water-Logging Disaster Based on Weight-improved AHP Method-Taking Haojiang District of Shantou City as an Example by ZHOU Jiaqi, LIN Kairong, XIE Xue, CHEN Haiyan, GAO Xin

“…Under the background of global climate change,the frequency of extreme rainfall events increases,and the urban water-logging disaster occurs frequently.The risk assessment of water-logging disaster can effectively reduce the loss.Taking Haojiang District of Shantou City as case study,this paper improves the weights of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) by neural network,expands the traditional nine-point scaling,and constructs the water-logging disaster risk evaluation model.The results show that the water-logging disaster risk in Haojiang District is generally high in the south-central region and low in the northwest region.Especially,Yuxin Street,Binhai Street,Majiao Street and Dahao Street have higher risk values,which need to take preventive measures.After verification of evaluation results with historical data,it is shown that about 80% of historical flood disaster points are distributed in high-risk areas,which is consistent with the verification results of historical disaster points.The weight determination method of AHP is improved by neural network,the intermediate variables of the traditional nine-point method is expanded to three decimal places,and the weight is determined by the computer to reduce subjectivity to a certain extent.The results of risk assessment can provide technical support for flood warning and flood control scheduling within a certain time limit.…”

Spatial Patterns of the Urban Agglomeration of the Yellow River Ji-Shaped Bend Based on Space of Multiple Flows by Mengyao Guo, Fang Wang, Ruixi Zhao, Xi Guo

“…The results show the following: (1) The information flow among cities in the UAYB is the strongest, followed by logistics flow and population flow. (2) Hohhot, Ordos, Yinchuan, and Taiyuan are the core cities and have attracted more flows to converge there; different flows have formed different central features. (3) Regarding the correlation of the three flows, information flow has a strong correlation with the other two flows. (4) From the perspective of the joint effects of the three flows considered, the hierarchy of UAYB is dominated by Hohhot and Taiyuan and sub-dominated by Yinchuan and Ordos; four prominent city groups have been formed with these four cities as the center. …”

New forms of digital power on the web: dimensions of the sexual politics of Big Tech by Águeda Gómez Suárez, Rosa Mª Verdugo Matés

“…This paper examines how patriarchy operates through gender dynamics by disseminating and proliferating misogynistic and sexist content online (cyber violence, “mainstream pornography”, the sexual exploitation industry, “digital pimping”), deploying a strategy aimed at consolidating its power, perpetuating sexual hierarchy and the “monetisation of misogyny” within the framework of a specific socio-sexual order.…”

Imaging Tasks Scheduling for High-Altitude Airship in Emergency Condition Based on Energy-Aware Strategy by Li Zhimeng, He Chuan, Qiu Dishan, Liu Jin, Ma Manhao

“…Aiming to the imaging tasks scheduling problem on high-altitude airship in emergency condition, the programming models are constructed by analyzing the main constraints, which take the maximum task benefit and the minimum energy consumption as two optimization objectives. Firstly, the hierarchy architecture is adopted to convert this scheduling problem into three subproblems, that is, the task ranking, value task detecting, and energy conservation optimization. …”

Waterloo in Vanity Fair or the Art of not Representing War by Marianne Camus

“…Looking at it from different angles he shows the folly, the cruelty and, above all, the disorder which war encourages among them (the movements of panic, the mad rise of prices or the breakdown of the social hierarchy for example). But most striking is probably what one could call the feminisation of war which in the double and subtle way he weaves it into the narration acts as a sort of secret weapon against the military and nationalistic ideology of the time.…”

Multi-alignment under "Uneven Multipolarity": India’s Relations with Russia in an Evolving World Order by Nivedita Kapoor

“…Multi-alignment for India represents a choice other than the formation of alliances as a balancing response, but it does introduce a hierarchy in its foreign relations. Under prevailing conditions, it emphasizes the importance of the relationship with the US while diminishing the significance of the relationship with Russia, even as the value of the bilateral partnership is retained in specific ways. …”
