Processus d’évaluation des incidences de la gouvernance des ressources naturelles par la méthode « matrice d’influence » au Burundi et Sud Kivu. by Serge Ngendakumana, P. Van Damme, Sylvain Mapatano, Deogratias Niyonkuru, Pascal Sanginga, Mwapu Isumbisho

“…It appears that the developed methological principles could help identify clearly the impact based on selected socio-environmental variables and perceived farmers’ constraints within collective governance initiatives implemented on the ground in the domain of natural resources management. The designed approach could seemingly be applicable in similar NRM contexts across the tropics beyond the great lakes of Africa.…”

Establishment of Big Data Index System of Water Resources Scheduling in Pearl River Basin by JIANG Liangyong, LI Jiqing, CHEN Siyu

“…Therefore, it is urgent toconstruct a set of big data index system for water resources scheduling in Pearl River Basin.Under the guidance of binary water cycle theory, and based on analytic hierarchy process andinformation resource planning method, this paper determines the six goals, i.e. flood control,power generation, water supply, saltwater resistance, shipping and ecological security in PearlRiver Basin, and fuses the measured data such as hydrometeorology, stage-discharge, water qualityand water ecology during water resources scheduling in the Pearl River Basin under the conditionof the Internet of Things and auxiliary information such as humanity and economy, ecologicalenvironment, flood disaster and Internet, classifies all indexes of the pressure term, state termand response term, and establishes the big data index system of water resources scheduling inPearl River Basin based on “Pressure-State-Response (PSR)”model, which provides a decision basisfor water resources management and scheduling in Pearl River Basin.…”

Progress and Challenge of Optical Remote Sensing Inversion on Soil Moisture by QIN Xiangdong, PANG Zhiguo, JIANG Wei

“…Soil moisture is an important parameter for influencing the land surface rainfall and runoff,and a key parameter for understanding the interaction of water and energy between the earth and the atmosphere.Monitoring of this parameter is of great significance to agricultural development and water resources management.As the main means for large-scale monitoring of soil moisture,the remote sensing inversion has received much attention in many studies in terms of method and accuracy.Among them,the research of optical remote sensing inversion on soil moisture lasts the longest,and many inversion methods have been developed currently.In order to sort out these inversion methods,this paper summarizes the commonly used remote sensing data for optical inversion on soil moisture at first,then classifies the inversion methods into reflectivity method,index method and thermal inertia method according to the different objects that correlates with soil moisture in the method and explains their principles,advantages,disadvantages and research progress,and finally discusses the main problems faced by the current optical remote sensing inversion methods as follow:The inversion methods are seriously affected by cloud and fog weather.The effective depth of soil moisture obtained by the inversion method is limited.The inversion methods take insufficient account of land surface heterogeneity.…”

Evaluation of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Jiangxi Based on System Dynamics Model by SONG Shiqiang, FENG Qian, WANG Pinggen, TANG Guohao, XIONG Xiahui, JI Yong

“…To study the current situation of water resources carrying capacity and alleviate the water supply pressure in Jiangxi Province,this paper constructed an evaluation index system of water resources carrying capacity,taking into account the characteristics of water resources in Jiangxi Province.Further,a system dynamics model of water resources carrying capacity was built with historical data,and four development scenarios were designed,under which the variations of various index parameters were obtained through model simulation.The weight of each index was determined by the analytic hierarchy process,and the change of water resources carrying capacity was calculated under each scenario.The following findings are obtained.① Under the current development scenario,the water resources carrying capacity of Jiangxi Province is in a state of slightly overloading.② Under the rapid development scenario,the overload of the water resources carrying capacity in Jiangxi Province becomes more serious.③ Under the water saving & pollution control and comprehensive development scenarios,the water resources carrying capacity tend to be both improved,and the improvement degree is higher under the latter scenario.The comprehensive development scenario is found to be the optimal development scenario which accords with the sustainable development of Jiangxi Province.This study can provide reference and an evaluation basis for water resources management planning in Jiangxi Province.…”

A gender critique of the EU directive on platform work from the perspective of feminised and racialised labour by Nelli Kambouri

“…The Directive is the outcome of labour struggles and court cases that have taken place during the past years against the misclassification of platform workers as independent self-employed contractors and the non-transparent usage of algorithms in human resources management. Nevertheless, the Directive is gender blind and obscures intersectional aspects of algorithmic management. …”
