This paper proposes an analytical model that clarifies the relationship between specific place and human emotions as well as the cause of the emotions using tweet data with location information. In addition, Twitter data with location information are analyzed to show the effectiveness of our proposed model. First, geotags are provided to collect Twitter data and increase the number of data for analysis. Second, training data with emotion labels based on the emotion expression dictionary are created and used, and supervised learning is done using fastText to obtain the emotion estimates. Finally, by using the result, topic extraction is performed to estimate the causes of the emotions. As a result, the transition of emotion in time and space as well as its cause is obtained.

Climatic change is expected to affect forest development in the short term, as well as the spatial distribution of species in the long term. Species distribution models are potentially useful tools for guiding species choices in reforestation and forest management prescriptions to address climate change. The aim of this study is to build spatial and spatio-temporal models to predict the distribution of four different species present in the Spanish Forest Inventory. We have compared the different models and showed how accounting for dependencies in space and time affect the relationship between species and environmental variables.

The paper presents the results of experiments carried out at the regime points of magnetotelluric monitoring both on the territory of the Bishkek geodynamic test site (Northern Tien Shan) and on a series of monitoring profiles in various geological conditions. Previous studies indicate the relationship of variations in the electromagnetic and seismic fields, lunisolar tidal effects, seismic regime with the processes of fracturing. The purpose of this work is to establish the features of the relationship between the spatio-temporal distribution of seismicity and the distribution of geoelectric inhomogeneities in the Earth’s crust (fault-block tectonics of the region). Based on the analysis of the results of the interpretation of magnetotelluric data (2D inversion) and new detailed seismotomographic constructions, the verification of geoelectric models was carried out, the analysis of the distribution of hypocenters of seismic events was carried out. Special attention was paid to the confinement of earthquakes to listric fault structures. The relationship between the distribution of the hypocenters of seismic events and the spatial position of the electrical conductivity anomalies is confirmed by the authors explanation of the physical nature of the identified conducting structures, based on hypotheses of fluidization and partial melt of the Earth’s crust.

Abstract. Warmer climate may lead to less winter precipitation falling as snow. Such a switch in the state of precipitation not only alters temporal distribution of intra-annual runoff, but tends to yield less total annual runoff. Long-term water balance for 282 catchments across China is investigated, showing that decreasing snow ratio reduces annual runoff for a given total precipitation. Within the Budyko framework, we develop an equation to quantify the relationship between snow ratio and annual runoff from a water–energy balance viewpoint. Based on the proposed equation, attribution of runoff change during past several decades and possible runoff change induced by projected snow ratio change using climate experiment outputs archived in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 are analyzed. Results indicate that annual runoff in northwest mountainous and north high-latitude areas are sensitive to snow ratio change. The proposed model is applicable to other catchments easily and quantitatively for analyzing the effects of possible change in snow ratio on available water resources and evaluating the vulnerability of catchments to climate change.

Abstract. A warmer climate may lead to less precipitation falling as snow in cold seasons. Such a switch in the state of precipitation not only alters temporal distribution of intra-annual runoff but also tends to yield less total annual runoff. Long-term water balance for 282 catchments across China is investigated, showing that a decreasing snow ratio reduces annual runoff for a given total precipitation. Within the Budyko framework, we develop an equation to quantify the relationship between snow ratio and annual runoff from a water–energy balance viewpoint. Based on the proposed equation, attribution of runoff change during the past several decades and possible runoff change induced by projected snow ratio change using climate experiment outputs archived in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) are analyzed. Results indicate that annual runoff in northwestern mountainous and northern high-latitude areas are sensitive to snow ratio change. The proposed model is applicable to other catchments easily and quantitatively for analyzing the effects of possible change in snow ratio on available water resources and evaluating the vulnerability of catchments to climate change.

Root-cause analysis has been one of the major requirements of the current information-rich world due to the huge number of opinions available online. This paper presents a heterogeneous weighted voting-based ensemble (HWVE) model for root-cause analysis. The proposed model is composed of an aspect extraction and filtering module, a model-based sentiment identification module, and a ranking module. Domain-based aspect ontologies are created using the available training data and is used for categorization. The input data is passed to the HWVE model for opinion identification and is in-parallel passed to the significance identification phase for aspect identification. The identified aspects are combined with their corresponding sentiments and ranked based on their ontological occurrence levels to provide the final categorized root-causes. Experiments were performed with the five-product dataset, and comparisons were performed with recent models. Results indicate that the proposed model exhibits improved performances of 5%-13% in terms of F-measure when compared to other models.

Abstract Two clusters of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were confirmed in Hokkaido, Japan, in February 2020. To identify these clusters, this study employed web search query logs of multiple devices and user location information from location-aware mobile devices. We anonymously identified users who used a web search engine (i.e., Yahoo! JAPAN) to search for COVID-19 or its symptoms. We regarded them as web searchers who were suspicious of their own COVID-19 infection (WSSCI). We extracted the location of WSSCI via a mobile operating system application and compared the spatio-temporal distribution of WSSCI with the actual location of the two known clusters. In the early stage of cluster development, we confirmed several WSSCI. Our approach was accurate in this stage and became biased after a public announcement of the cluster development. When other cluster-related resources, such as detailed population statistics, are not available, the proposed metric can capture hints of emerging clusters.

<p>Weather and climate extreme events contribute to the increase of wildfire risk. A recent study carried out in Mainland Portugal for the period 1981 – 2017, using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to assess drought conditions, revealed that drought affects 70% of the months and a very strong relationship between the occurrence of drought and the spatio-temporal distribution of extreme wildfires (> 5,000 ha). These results raised additional scientific questions that need to be answered, such as: Is the relationship between droughts and fires equally strong for wildfires of smaller size? The study was carried out at the country level, but what are the regions where the relationship is more and less strong? Therefore the objective of this study is to assess the influence of drought on fire incidence, considering all wildfires or classes of wildfire sizes and in each of the 278 counties of Continental Portugal characterized by different features (landscape, weather/climate, drought and fire incidence). This study benefits from the existence of long and reliable meteorological and wildfire datasets. The methodology comprises cluster analysis, contingency tables, accuracy metrics, statistical measures of association to test the independence and help find interactions between these two natural hazards. Main results include: (i) the characterization of spatio-temporal distribution of drought number, duration, severity, intensity, extension; (ii) wildfire space-time distribution within drought periods and affected area; and, (iii) the assessment of the relationship between droughts and wildfires at county scale. The authors believe that the findings of this study are very useful for the definition of adaptation and mitigation strategies for the impacts of droughts in wildfire occurrence and to assess the climatic wildfire hazard/risk.</p><p><strong>Acknowledgements</strong></p><p>This work was supported and conducted in the framework of the FEMME project (PCIF/MPG/0019/2017) funded by FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology.

This paper focuses on explaining how individuals set goals on multiple performance episodes, in the context of performance feedback comparing their performance on each episode with their respective goal. The proposed model was tested through a longitudinal study of 493 university students’ actual goals and performance on business school exams. Results of a structural equation model supported the proposed conceptual model in which self-efficacy and emotional reactions to feedback mediate the relationship between feedback and subsequent goals. In addition, as expected, participants’ standing on a dispositional measure of behavioral inhibition influenced the strength of their emotional reactions to negative feedback.
