Population Vulnerability

The article proposes a conceptual substantiation of the possibility of using the cellular operators data in order to assess the population vulnerability in the natural risk studies. Cellular operators data allow obtaining information on the differentiation of the population vulnerability in a large city (the article provides the case of Moscow) to natural and manmade hazards, taking into account the actual population size and its movement within different time cycles (daily, weekly, seasonal). A reliable information of how many people are at each point of the urban space at a certain point in time will allow not only to timely assess the most likely number of people in the potential danger area, thereby simplifying the work of specialized emergencies services, but also to competently develop a set of preventive measures in accordance with the real need.

The understanding of infectious diseases is a priority in the field of public health. This has generated the inclusion of several disciplines and tools that allow for analyzing the dissemination of infectious diseases. The aim of this manuscript is to model the spreading of a disease in a population that is registered in a database. From this database, we obtain an edge-weighted graph. The spreading was modeled with the classic SIR model. The model proposed with edge-weighted graph allows for identifying the most important variables in the dissemination of epidemics. Moreover, a deterministic approximation is provided. With database COVID-19 from a city in Chile, we analyzed our model with relationship variables between people. We obtained a graph with 3866 vertices and 6,841,470 edges. We fitted the curve of the real data and we have done some simulations on the obtained graph. Our model is adjusted to the spread of the disease. The model proposed with edge-weighted graph allows for identifying the most important variables in the dissemination of epidemics, in this case with real data of COVID-19. This valuable information allows us to also include/understand the networks of dissemination of epidemics diseases as well as the implementation of preventive measures of public health. These findings are important in COVID-19’s pandemic context.

R e s u m o O artigo problematiza a literatura crítica sobre o Projeto Eixo Tamanduatehy (Santo André) no sentido de enraizá-la na trajetória específica da cidade de Santo André e de contribuir com a reflexão sobre o significado das “experiências reais” de planejamento estratégico urbano no cenário atual da globalização neoliberal. Argumentamos que a ausência de uma leitura de três dimensões entrelaçadas dificultou uma compreensão adequadado legado deste projeto, isto é: (I) a construção política e contestada da escala local, além de seu significado para a disputa de hegemonia sobre a gestão urbana; (II) o planejamento estratégico,a neoliberalização e a emergência de uma representação hegemônica do espaço urbano a partirdo Projeto Eixo Tamanduatehy e (III) planos, projetos estratégicos e a emergência de novos espaços de representação.Palavras-chave Empresariamento urbano; planejamento estratégico; Projeto Eixo Tamanduatehy. A b s t r a c t In this paper the critical literature on the Project Eixo Tamanduatehyis highlighted in a problematic perspective, in the sense of embedding it within the specific trajectory of the city of Santo André, and to contribute with a reflection on the significanceof the “real experiences” of strategic urban planning in the present scenario of neoliberal globalization. Our argument is that the absence of an analysis on three interlinked dimensions has made an adequate understanding of the legacy of this project more difficult, that is: (i)the political and contested nature of scale, besides its significance for the hegemonic disputesover urban management; (ii) strategic planning, neoliberalization and the emergence of ahegemonic representation of urban space on the basis of the Project Eixo Tamanduatehy; and (iii) plans, strategic projects and the emergence of new spaces of representation.Keywords Projeto Eixo Tamanduatehy; strategic planning; urban entrepreneurialism;.

We analyze the concept of legal awareness of citizens, its structure, significance for a particular individual and for society as a whole, ways to increase the level of legal awareness of the population, as well as the con-sequences due to an increase in the level of legal awareness. We cover the is-sue of excess information in the legal sphere, its causes and consequences. We consider the essence of legal information burnout, its signs, potential danger and impact, identified preventive measures and methods to combat this phenomenon. We comprehend the impact of excessive legal information on professional deformation and professional burnout of lawyers, we have determined the functional significance of excessive legal information to citi-zens to maintain the proper level of their legal functional literacy. The pur-pose of the study is to determine the relationship between the increased vol-ume of legal awareness, information overload, legal information burnout and, as a consequence, the professional deformation of lawyers. We make an attempt to declare the existence of the phenomenon, which is conventionally called by the author legal information burnout. The study will be of interest to specialists in the field of jurisprudence, psychology, information technology, and may also be useful for other specialists and all those who are interested in the issues of this issue.

Users on the social media can share positive as well as negative information intentionally and unintentionally in the form of multimedia content without knowing its impact on other user, which threatens the security and privacy of social media. Cyberbullying is one of the risks associated with social media. Cyberbullying is an aggressive act carried out intentionally against the victim by posting harmful material on social media to harm his/her reputation. Aggressive act creates depression, anxiety in users which may lead to diversion of attention and sometimes suicidal actions. In this paper the authors have included a survey on recent algorithms which work on detection of cyberbullying. State-of-the-art studies only focus on the detection of cyberbullying but not on the preventive measures against cyberbullying. In order to tackle this problem, the authors showed how the severity of the bullying in messages helps to find the real culprit.

In this paper, A new on-line LLR optimization method based on the generalized mutual information (GMI) maximization is proposed for LDPC coded BICM systems. As the BP decoder is sensitive to imperfect soft demodulator output information, it is necessary to correct the LLRs to provide the reliable information for BP decoder. The proposed method searched the scalar factors to maximize the GMI for each bit channel, and applied them to the demodulator output LLRs. Different from the previous reference, the proposed found the factors by on-line computation with minor complexity. This characteristic makes it is more effective in the real systems where the channel changes rapidly. Numerical and simulation results verify that the proposed method achieves noticeable performance improvement for MIMO-BICM systems with LDPC codes.

The conditions and spatial factors for the implementation of national projects are considered. On the example of a large city, the factors of the comfort of the urban environment of a large city are assessed. Variants of effective combination of spatial urban complexes are identified. The purpose of the article is to analyze the spatial factors of assessing the comfort of the urban environment in a large city. The subject of the research is the process of assessing the comfort of the urban environment in a large city. Analytical, historical, statistical, logical, comparative methods were used as research methods. Research hypothesis. By the comfort of the urban space, the authors understand not only the level of the amenities of the adjoining territories, which the developers create at a high aesthetic and practical level. This refers to the convenience of receiving social services and their transport accessibility. Therefore, having successfully sold apartments of the first stage, the developer may and is faced with the problem of selling apartments of the second and subsequent stages of construction. Presentation of the main material. The authors of the article propose to use the original aggregate indicator for the purposes of assessing the comfort of the city - the index of the comfort of the urban environment, with a form already successfully tested in other studies, consisting of 35 private indicators combined into 7 sections: geographical location, level of development of public transport, state of the environment. environment, the level of development of social infrastructure (combined in 3 sections), the arrangement of the adjoining space. Originality and practical value. The problem of the housing stock deficit is gradually weakening and replaced by the problem of the excess of the supply of housing over the demand for it. In the new conditions, a potential buyer of an apartment is interested not only and not so much in its size and price, but also in the environment surrounding the chosen house. On the other hand, the commercial interest of the developer was traditionally manifested in the desire to sell the apartment soon. Research conclusions and prospects for further research. The comfort of the urban environment is becoming an increasingly monetized element of the total cost of purchased housing. Competent use of information about it makes it easier for the developer to offer and sell a particular apartment. In addition, the indicator of the comfort of the urban environment can be actively used in applied studies, for example, in geomarketing research.

Statistical data regarding causes and number of accidents in enterprises and organisations allow to foresee the average number of traumas for a definite period when no additional means for trauma prevention have been provided. The trauma prevention means differ because they require different financing and decreasing the number of traumas. The suggested mathematical methods give the possibility to appraise the means of trauma prevention according to the definite sum invested. Some accidents are related to individual miss-steps/mistakes at work. Trying to find out the ways for optimal trauma prevention we can take the latter causes as statistical game of “nature” state and certain possible situations of existing in determination. They are impossible to be changed, though some preventive means applied by employees may decrease the trauma cases caused by individual safe control violation. As soon as the optimal strategy of the aforementioned matrix game is found, the most important preventive means could be determined. They could guarantee the real decrease of the trauma cases in spite of any violations by employees. A certain modification of the straightforward programme making task allows us to get an optimal allocation of means necessary for trauma prevention, thus evaluating the effectiveness of preventive measures when the optimal financing is found as the means are increasing.

As transformações do espaço urbano vêm introduzindo novos padrões que revelam elementos da dinâmica capitalista. Nesse aspecto, o apartamento residencial é apresentado como um produto dotado de novos conceitos em sintonia com as mudanças do capitalismo. Este estudo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma análise sobre as propagandas imobiliárias na cidade de Vitória, entre as décadas de 1950 a 1970, no qual identificamos as estratégias do setor da construção imobiliária em relação a cozinha como item diferencial do imóvel e inserido no sistema de produção da sociedade de consumo.ABSTRACTThis study aims to develop an analysis of the kitchen of the residential apartments in the city of Vitoria, between the 1950s and 1970s, as a space connected to the transformations promoted by capitalism. It was carried out a qualitative survey of advertisements published in a newspaper, as well as the use of authors who approach the relationship between the production of the urban space and the food. From this analysis, it was possible to verify that the transformation in the kitchen is indicative of the way of life established by the Brazilian urbanization during this period.Keywords: Kitchen; Urban space; Advertising.

Aim. To study the seasonality of diseases of the maxillofacial region as a factor affecting the duration of temporary disability in the Republic of Tatarstan. Methods. The sources of information were the cases of temporary disability established by dental medical organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan (analysis of accounting and reporting forms 16-VN, 036/u, 035/u, 043/u for the period 20072016). Results. The number of visits to dental medical organizations of the patients with diseases of the maxillofacial region leading to disability of the patient was different depending on the season. It was found that the differences in the structure of temporary disability due to diseases depending on the season for different years of the study period were statistically significant (p 0.001) in all groups except non-odontogenic inflammatory diseases. We have established two periods with an increased number of cases from March to April and from October to December. In these months, cases of temporary disability in the general structure accounted for 8.9% and more. Conclusion. Analysis of morbidity and factors leading to the occurrence of cases of temporary disability allows obtaining reliable information about the health of the economically active population of the Republic of Tatarstan, which will be the basis for planning preventive measures, appropriate comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation of patients.
