Whistle blowing in the organization by Rachel Barker, R. Dawood

“… In his speech at the Anti-corruption Summit Conference in Cape Town in 1998, the deputy president of South Africa said that the culture of entitlement, so prevalent in our community, had contributed to the ‘name it, claim it’ syndrome where individuals sought an elusive moral justification for engaging in criminal activity and that public servants were obliged to serve the public with integrity (Speech of the …: 1998 [O]). …”

Amiens/Samarobriva, cité des Ambiens : aux origines de la ville romaine by Didier Bayard

“…The first is related to its origins: despite the mention of its Celtic-sounding name in the De Bello Gallico or Cicero’s correspondence, no tangible link could be established between the Roman city and a previous Gallic town, or even a Caesarian camp.The building of the North Sea road, maybe during Agrippa’s second rule in Gaul between -19 and -16, seems to be at the root of a settlement at the edge of the Somme river. …”

Research and Application of Data-driven Forecast Method for Water Level Increment of Small and Medium-sized Rivers by DING Wu, LIN Hanxiong, WANG Hangang, ZHANG Wei, YANG Bin

“…Focusing on the forecast of flash flood disasters in small and medium-sized rivers,this paper adopts three data-driven forecast models to forecast the maximum water level increment.With Paitan Town,Zengcheng District,Guangzhou City as the research area,the mathematical modeling and accuracy evaluation of the three models are carried out.The analysis shows that the forecast accuracy of machine learning is the highest,but the forecast results are not interpretable.The forecast accuracy of the similarity analysis model is medium,and the prediction results have good cognition and interpretability.The overall prediction accuracy of the “rainfall-water level increment” relationship model is the lowest,but its operation is simple.The calculation of the similarity analysis model and machine learning model is relatively complex,relying on computer-aided calculation,and the results of the “rainfall-water level increment” relationship model can be plotted as graphs.Considering the forecast accuracy and convenience,multiple models such as the machine learning model and similarity analysis model can be applied for the forecast to improve the forecast accuracy if there is support from auxiliary equipment such as computers and mobile phone applications.Without support from computers and other basic equipment,the “rainfall-water level increment” relationship model can provide a convenient forecast method for flash flood forecast and early warning in small and medium-sized rivers.…”
