Prescriptive temporal modeling approach using climate variables to forecast dengue incidence in Córdoba, Colombia by Ever Medina, Myladis R Cogollo, Gilberto González-Parra

“…We present a modeling strategy to forecast the incidence rate of dengue in the department of Córdoba, Colombia, thereby considering the effect of climate variables. A Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model with exogenous variables (SARIMAX) model is fitted under a cross-validation approach, and we examine the effect of the exogenous variables on the performance of the model. …”

Clustering simulated snow profiles to form avalanche forecast regions by S. Horton, S. Horton, F. Herla, P. Haegeli

“…We developed the method, tuned parameters, and present clustering results using operational snowpack model data and human hazard assessments from the Columbia Mountains of western Canada during the 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 seasons. The clustering results from simulated snow profiles closely matched actual forecast regions, effectively partitioning areas based on major patterns in avalanche hazard, such as varying danger ratings or avalanche problem types. …”

Influences of Agrochemicals on Health and Ecology in Vietnamese Mango Cultivation by Kiet Hong Vo Tuan Truong, Nguyen Thi Pham, Thoa Thi Kim Nguyen

“…The vast majority of agrochemicals in mango cultivation are fungicide and paclobutrazol over 90% of the total number of agrochemicals used in both noncooperative and cooperative farmer groups among the three seasons. Total field EIQ of the cooperative grower category is less than that of the noncooperative grower category. …”

Stratégies d’adaptation des communautés rurales à la précarité hydrique dans la commune urbaine de Téra, dans le Liptako Nigérien by Yayé Moussa

“…They are thus implementing a variety of strategies (diversification of water supply sources, massive recourse to traditional water points, mixed uses, pooling of water points, et cetera) arranged in a seasonal chronology that allows for the creation of complementarity between villages with different water situations, on the one hand, and on the other hand, between the insufficient number of modern water points and the traditional points that are still at the centre of the rural communities' water supply system. …”

From Uncertain Space: Spatial Trajectory of a Social Innovation ‘by Withdrawal’. Study of the Composition of the Association of Lodges and Huts in Queyras (Hautes-Alpes, France)... by Yann Borgnet

“…Alpine territories located outside major ski areas have often developed in contrasting ways: On the one hand, improvements are made for alpine skiing; on the other hand, there is a need to build an alternative model that supports other practices and other seasons besides winter. Queyras has followed this cyclical process by alternating between good periods of development driven by innovation and periods of crisis. …”

Design of Hydrological Telemetry System Based on NB-IoT Communication Technology by ZHANG Xinmeng, LIU Shuyang, WANG Canhui

“…With the progress in society and information technology, the rapid emergency response capability for urban flood,drought,and wind prevention needs to be improved.Given the demand, this paper adopts the low-power Internet of Things (NB-IoT) communication technology to design water and rain telemetry terminals in the way of product integration instead of traditional system integration.This technology further reduces the dependence of the equipment on the external environment and improves the stability and reliability of the front-end data acquisition of the hydrological telemetry system,making it possible to deploy the hydrological telemetry terminal for monitoring on a large scale.According to urban emergency prevention and control requirements,Guangzhou Nansha District Flood and Drought Prevention Headquarters Office constructed a new generation of hydrological telemetry system with low cost,strong scalability,and high reliability.By quickly covering urban flood risk points,the system can master real-time water and rain data in the key position of Nansha District to assist the emergency decision,improve emergency response capabilities,and realize the precise distribution of flood control forces,thus reducing the property losses for urban residents.The results show that the hydrological telemetry system based on NB-IoT communication technology applied on a large scale for the first time in Guangzhou can provide efficient data support for dealing with various disasters in flood seasons.…”
