Precipitation Concentration in Highly Urbanized Regions — Case Study of Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration by LIN Zequn, WANG Dayang, ZHANG Zhi, WANG Dagang

“…The Theil-Sen Median slope estimation and Mann-Kendall significance test are utilized for trend analysis,and a correlation analysis is employed to explore the relationship between urbanization levels and precipitation concentration.The results show that:① the root mean square error between the GI calculated from climate hazards Group infrared precipitation with station data (CHIRPS) and the station data results is 0.036,significantly lower than the results from CMFD data (0.067) and MSWEP data (0.083),which indicates that CHIRPS data demonstrates optimal applicability.② The unevenness of precipitation in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration gradually increases from south to north,with a significant increasing trend in the central and western parts of the agglomeration.The intra-annual distribution of precipitation in the study area has become more concentrated,leading to an increased likelihood of extreme precipitation events.③ Urbanization is likely to promote the concentration of precipitation.The rapid development of cities enhances precipitation unevenness,especially in areas such as Nanjing,Wuxi,and Zhenjiang,making them more susceptible to urban flooding and related disasters.The findings of this research have practical implications for urban flood control design,urban road drainage system planning,and the development of emergency response plans for urban flood control.…”

Evolution Pattern of Flash Drought in Hanjiang River Basin and Its Response to Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project by HUANG Kai, DUAN Kai

“…The increase in the middle reaches weakened, and the duration of flash droughts in the lower reaches shortened. ② The spatial distribution of flash drought onset durations evolved from uniform distribution of 5~6 days to uneven distribution between the upper and lower reaches, with durations shortening to 3~5 days in the upper reaches and extending to 7~9 days in the middle and lower reaches. ③ The RF model demonstrated the best simulation performance for flash drought duration. Climatic conditions had the most significant impact on flash drought duration, with a relative importance of 0.34. …”

Modern State and civil society: promising directions and forms of interaction in the field of public administration by O. M. Muzychuk, K. L. Buhaichuk

“….), set trends at the level of public administration towards greater decentralisation of the competence of public authorities and, at the same time, towards globalisation of management of certain areas related to global climate change and other global problems. It is emphasised that in the newest understanding of the paradigm of relations between the modern State and civil society, there is a socially oriented vector of the State, which is diverse and closely related to the needs of the population. …”

Feeding strategies and associated cognitive capacities among Plio-Pleistocene hominins: toward new perspectives using the ventromedial prefrontal cortex by Margot Louail

“…We suggested that the capacity to switch foraging behaviors using memorized information may have been particularly favored among hominins of the Late Pliocene and especially Early Pleistocene, a period marked by several time intervals of increased climatic instability. Indeed, as these hominins faced critically changing environments, the ability to switch foraging behaviors and to fall back on alternative resources during periods of food scarcity probably played a strong influence on their diversity and evolution. …”

Use of food additives in bakery products by Karim Sattarov, Abror Jankurazov, Javsurbek Khazratkulov

“…The addition of potassium sorbate and sodium propionate significantly increased the shelf life of the bakery products, preventing the development of mould and yeast during 7-10 days of storage in a climate-controlled chamber. Thus, the use of combinations of food additives in conditions of industrial production allowed improving the physical and chemical properties of bakery products, increased their shelf life and ensured microbiological safety of products. …”
