Study on Early Identification of Rainfall-Induced Accumulation Landslide Hazards in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area

The early identification of potential hazards is crucial for landslide early warning and prevention and is a key focus and challenging issue in landslide disaster research. The challenges of traditional investigation and identification methods include identifying potential hazards of landslides triggered by heavy rainfall and mapping areas susceptible to landslides based on rainfall conditions. This article focuses on the problem of early identification of rainfall-induced accumulation landslide hazards and an early identification method is proposed, which is “first identifying the accumulation that is prone to landslides and then determining the associated rainfall conditions”. This method is based on identifying the distribution and thickness of accumulation, analyzing the rainfall conditions that trigger landslides with varying characteristics, and establishing rainfall thresholds for landslides with different accumulation characteristics, ultimately aiming to achieve early identification of accumulation landslide hazards. In this study, we focus on the Zigui section of the Three Gorges Reservoir as study the area, and eight main factors that influence the distribution and thickness of accumulation are extracted from multi-source data, then the relative thickness information extraction model of accumulation is established by using the BP neural network method. The accumulation distribution and relative thickness map of the study area are generated, and the study area is divided into rocky area (less than 1 m), thin (1 to 5 m), medium (5 to 10 m), and thick area (thicker than 10 m) according to accumulation thickness. Rainfall is a significant trigger for landslide hazards. It increases the weight of the sliding mass and decreases the shear strength of soil and rock layers, thus contributing to landslide events. Data on 101 rainfall-induced accumulation landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir area and rainfall data for the 10 days prior to each landslide event were collected. The critical rainfall thresholds corresponding to a 90% probability of landslide occurrence with different characteristics were determined using the I-D threshold curve method. Prediction maps of accumulation landslide hazards under various rainfall conditions were generated by analyzing the rainfall threshold for landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, serving as a basis for early identification of rainfall-induced accumulation landslides in the region. The research provides a method for the early identification of landslides caused by heavy rainfall, delineating landslide hazards under different rainfall conditions, and providing a basis for scientific responses, work arrangements, and disaster prevention and mitigation of landslides caused by heavy rainfall.

Traffic Transformer: Transformer-based framework for temporal traffic accident prediction

<abstract><p>Reliable prediction of traffic accidents is crucial for the identification of potential hazards in advance, formulation of effective preventative measures, and reduction of accident incidence. Existing neural network-based models generally suffer from a limited field of perception and poor long-term dependency capturing abilities, which severely restrict their performance. To address the inherent shortcomings of current traffic prediction models, we propose the Traffic Transformer for multidimensional, multi-step traffic accident prediction. Initially, raw datasets chronicling sporadic traffic accidents are transformed into multivariate, regularly sampled sequences that are amenable to sequential modeling through a temporal discretization process. Subsequently, Traffic Transformer captures and learns the hidden relationships between any elements of the input sequence, constructing accurate prediction for multiple forthcoming intervals of traffic accidents. Our proposed Traffic Transformer employs the sophisticated multi-head attention mechanism in lieu of the widely used recurrent architecture. This significant shift enhances the model's ability to capture long-range dependencies within time series data. Moreover, it facilitates a more flexible and comprehensive learning of diverse hidden patterns within the sequences. It also offers the versatility of convenient extension and transference to other diverse time series forecasting tasks, demonstrating robust potential for further development in this field. Extensive comparative experiments conducted on a real-world dataset from Qatar demonstrate that our proposed Traffic Transformer model significantly outperforms existing mainstream time series forecasting models across all evaluation metrics and forecast horizons. Notably, its Mean Absolute Percentage Error reaches a minimal value of only 4.43%, which is substantially lower than the error rates observed in other models. This remarkable performance underscores the Traffic Transformer's state-of-the-art level of in predictive accuracy.</p></abstract>

Identification of Potential Hazards Associated with South Korean Prawns and Monitoring Results Targeting Fishing Bait.

This study detected two potential pathogens, Vibro parahaemolyticus, which causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), in fishing bait in South Korea. However, their infectious nature was not confirmed, possibly due to the degradation caused by freezing/thawing or prolonged storage under frozen conditions. While infectivity was not confirmed in this study, there is still a significant risk of exposure to these aquatic products. Furthermore, fishing bait and feed should be handled with caution as they are directly exposed to water, increasing the risk of disease transmission. In Australia, cases of WSSV infection caused by imported shrimp intended for human consumption have occurred, highlighting the need for preventive measures. While freezing/thawing is a method for inactivating pathogens, there are still regulatory and realistic issues to be addressed.

Using machine learning and satellite data from multiple sources to analyze mining, water management, and preservation of cultural heritage

ABSTRACT Remote sensing, particularly satellite-based, can play a valuable role in monitoring areas prone to geohazards. The high spatial and temporal coverage provided by satellite data can be used to reconstruct past events and continuously monitor sensitive areas for potential hazards. This paper presents a range of techniques and methods that were applied for in-depth analysis and utilization of Earth observation data, with a particular emphasis on: (1) detecting mining subsidence, where a novel approach is proposed by combining an improved U-Net model and Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology. The results showed that the Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) U-Net model performed better than the U-Net (baseline) model in terms of Mean Intersection over Union (MIoU) and Intersection over Union (IoU) indicators; (2) monitoring water conservancy and hydropower engineering. The Xiaolangdi multipurpose dam complex was monitored using Small BAsline Subsets (SBAS) InSAR method on Sentinel-1 time series data and four small regions with high deformation rates were identified on the slope of the reservoir bank on the north side. The dam body also showed obvious deformation with a velocity exceeding 60 mm/a; (3) the evaluation of the potential of InSAR results to integrate monitoring and warning systems for valuable heritage and architectural preservation. The overall outcome of these methods showed that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in combination with InSAR data leads to more efficient analysis and interpretation, resulting in improved accuracy and prompt identification of potential hazards; and (4) finally, this study also presents a method for detecting landslides in mountainous regions, using optical imagery. The new temporal landslide detection method is evaluated over a 7-year analysis period and unlike conventional bi-temporal change detection methods, this approach does not depend on any prior-knowledge and can potentially detect landslides over extended periods of time such as decades.

Identification of potential hazard of consumption of novel products to public health (systematic review)

Introduction. Declining volumes of meat production are associated, among other things, with fight against global warming. This unavoidably stimulates the scientific community to look for alternative sources of protein. However, novel foods can pose a potential health threat for consumers.
 The aim was to search for data on a potential threat for human health posed by consuming the most widely spread novel foods.
 Materials and methods. To achieve that, we accomplished a systematic review of relevant information sources using PRISMA recommendations on how to perform a systemic review of research articles. Overall, we analyzed more than two thousand sources to identify their relevance to the aim of this study; ultimately 64 sources were selected for analysis. 
 Results. Within this review, three groups of novel foods of animal origin were identified and considered. They were the most frequently mentioned in studies investigating potential health hazards for humans. We analyzed these potential hazards caused by consuming novel foods; it was established that attention should be paid to probable changes in biological values of protein in a novel food, undeclared or unintended chemicals in it, and hyper-reactivity of the human immune system. Besides, when insect or GM-animal proteins are used as food raw materials, a probability of pathogenic microorganisms in them should not be neglected. A distinctive feature of foods manufactured from GM-animals is estimation of a potential hazard associated with probable transfer of changed genes to the opportunistic gut microflora.
 Limitations. The study addressing potential health hazards posed by consumption of new foods considered only ‘new food products’ of animal origin.
 Conclusion. The systemic review of relevant information sources was aimed to identify potential health hazards posed by consumption of novel food of animal origin and allowed fulfilling hazard identification as the first stage in health risk assessment.

Determinants of knowledge associated with occupational hazards and perceived health problems among dye workers in Abeokuta, Nigeria.

Identification of potential hazards, their adverse health effects, and predisposing factors in the workplace are critical to improving safety. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge of occupational hazards, the prevalence of perceived health problems and their predictors among textile dye workers in Abeokuta Nigeria who work in unsupervised settings. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 199 participants using a validated semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of knowledge while Pearson Chi-square was employed to test the association between perceived health problems, sociodemographics and work environment characteristics. The mean age of the respondents was 40 (SD=12) years with an average work experience of 19 years. The majority of respondents 139 (69.8%) had lower than average scores on knowledge of 25 questions on chemical hazards. There was no correlation between knowledge score and work experience (P=0.492) or age (P=0.462) but the knowledge was significantly associated with exposure score (P=0.004), gender (P=0.002) and adherence to instructions on chemicals usage (P=0.041) after adjusting for safe practice. The most frequent health problems among the dye workers were respiratory disorders (53.8%), allergies (51.8%), and skin disorders (24.1%). Airborne gaseous pollutants from the mixing of chemicals were associated with allergies (P=0.045), circulatory (P=0.02) and skin disorders (P=0.049) while air-borne textile fiber/dye particles could predict allergies (P=0.028). Findings revealed that exposure, gender and adherence to instruction labels on dye/chemical containers could determine knowledge of chemical hazards while physical work environment characteristics could determine health problems.

An Adaptive Identification Method for Potential Landslide Hazards Based on Multisource Data

The effectiveness of landslide disaster prevention depends largely on the quality of early identification of potential hazards, and how to comprehensively, deeply, and accurately identify such hazards has become a major difficulty in landslide disaster management. Existing deep learning methods for potential landslide hazard identification often use fixed-size window modeling and ignore the different window sizes required by landslides of different scales. To address this problem, we propose an adaptive identification method for potential landslide hazards based on multisource data. Taking Yongping County, China, as the study area, we create a multisource factor dataset based on the landslide disaster background in terms of topography, geology, human activities, hydrology, and vegetation as the sample for the identification model after processing. Moreover, we combine differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (D-InSAR) and multitemporal InSAR (MT-InSAR) to process the surface deformation of the study area, and we measure the deformation richness based on the average of the pixel deformation difference within the current window of a pixel point in the image. Therefore, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with different window sizes are adaptively selected. The results show that the precision of adaptive identification of potential landslide hazards in the study area is 85.30%, the recall is 83.03%, and the F1 score is 84.15%. The recognition rate for potential hazards reaches 80%, which is better than the fixed-window modeling result and proves the effectiveness of the proposed method. This method can help to improve intelligent identification systems for potential landslide hazards, and also contribute to the identification of other potential geological hazards, such as mudslides and collapses.

Identification of potential hazards and analysis of critical control points in cultured meat (in vitro meat) production

The development of food technologies at the present stage is aimed at expanding the range of food raw materials, including alternative food sources. One of such sources is meat derived from in vitro stem cells or cultured meat. The stages of in vitro meat production could be divided into four blocks: preparation of raw materials, cultivation of cells in a nutrient medium, forming the final product and preparing meat for sale to the consumer. The cultured meat production process must be accompanied by the improvement, implementation and maintenance of procedures based on HACCP principles. However, the developed and approved HACCP system for the cultured meat production hasn't been found in the scientific literature. Given the prospects for cultured meat production, the development HACCP system for this area is feasible. In this regard, it is advisable to identify critical control points in production and identify the potential hazards of cultured meat to consumers for subsequent risk assessment. The aim of the study was to identify potential health hazards and analyze key control points in cultured meat production. Material and methods. Previously conducted studies on in vitro meat cultivation technologies, as well as Russian regulatory and technical documentation were used as initial data on the production processes of cultured meat and the risk associated with its production. The method of studying and critical analyzing relevant scientific sources devoted to the safety of cultured meat was applied. In total, more than 120 sources were studied, from which 30 relevant ones were selected. Results. The potential hazards associated with the consumption of cultured meat are due to physical, chemical and biological factors. In addition, the occurrence of allergic reactions is identified as a danger factor. An imbalance of amino acids in the diet may occur as a result of the consumption of novel food in a significant proportion (>50% of meat consumption). Ten critical control points have been identified, each of which is characterized by the action of potential hazard factors of a different nature. It has been established that the number of critical control points is the same at all stages of production, except for the formation of the final product. The characteristics of hazard factors, as well as information about the critical control points of these factors' action, determine the possibility of assessing the potential hazard (and further risk assessment) and choosing measures to manage them, which meets the requirements of GOST R ISO 22000-2019. Conclusion. Each of the identified types of hazard is not specific to a particular stage of in vitro meat production and can effect negatively at several critical control points. When organizing control (monitoring) of the safety of new type food, one should be guided by the Technical Regulations of the Custom Union "On the Safety of Food Products", according to which the manufacturer of foods (including novel foods) must develop, implement and comply with procedures based on the HACCP. The use of HACCP is relevant under inappropriate risk for consumer health. To assess the risk level, exposure assessment (a key step in risk assessment) should be carried out for each type of hazard factor. For these purposes, it is necessary to identify the potential risk group and determine the scenarios of cultured meat's consumption.

Predicting burn severity for integration with post-fire debris-flow hazard assessment: a case study from the Upper Colorado River Basin, USA

Background Burn severity significantly increases the likelihood and volume of post-wildfire debris flows. Pre-fire severity predictions can expedite mitigation efforts because precipitation contributing to these hazards often occurs shortly after wildfires, leaving little time for post-fire planning and management. Aim The aim of this study was to predict burn severity using pre-fire conditions of individual wildfire events and estimate potential post-fire debris flow to unburned areas. Methods We used random forests to model dNBR from pre-fire weather, fuels, topography, and remotely sensed data. We validated our model predictions against post-fire observations and potential post-fire debris-flow hazard estimates. Key results Fuels, pre-fire weather, and topography were important predictors of burn severity, although predictor importance varied between fires. Post-fire debris-flow hazard rankings from predicted burn severity (pre-fire) were similar to hazard assessments based on observed burn severity (post-fire). Conclusion Predicted burn severity can serve as an input to post-fire debris-flow models before wildfires occur, antecedent to standard post-fire burn severity products. Assessing a larger set of fires under disparate conditions and landscapes will be needed to refine predictive models. Implications Burn severity models based on pre-fire conditions enable the prediction of fire effects and identification of potential hazards to prioritise response and mitigation.

The modification of methodological approaches for potential hazard identification of inadvertent chemicals in food

The existing methodological approaches for hazard identification and selection of priority hazard contaminants in foodstuff for further health risk assessment and legislation (in case of need) do not represent the reasons of inclusion inadvertent chemical substances in a number of priority for health risk assessment. The absence both of complex assessment and potential hazard categories of contaminants do not allow to assess the urgency of health risk assessment. Thus, it's advisable to expand the existing methodological approaches with the criteria of selection of hazard inadvertent chemical substances in food. The criteria allow for an integral assessment and further categorizing for health risk assessment and legislation. The aim of the research was to develop the methodological approaches to selection of priority inadvertent chemical substances in foodstuff for risk analysis and legislation based on the integral assessment Results. Material and methods. Various methods of chemical analysis were applied for detection of potentially hazard chemical substances in foodstuff. The further hazard identification and selection of priority chemical substances has been based on suggested criteria and categories that complete existing methodology. The approbation of methodological approaches to integral assessment and categorizing has been carried out on milk. Results and discussion. The potential hazard identification of inadvertent chemicals has been carried out using the complex of selection criteria. It was suggested to apply scores for calculation of integral score for further categorizing and selection of priority chemical substances (taking into account substances' toxicity class and possibility of migration during cooking or formation during technological process, and from packing, and from food raw materials). 5 hazard chemicals in milk (2-furanmethanol, thallium, mevinphos, sulfotep, mephospholane) were defined as priority category as the result of approbation. Conclusion. Integral assessment and categorizing of potential hazard of inadvertent chemicals in food applying basic and additional criteria taking into account natural content of the substances and their possibility of migration in food allow to assess the priority of health risk assessment and further hygienic legislation of the substances (in case if the risk level is inappropriate). During the approbation on the example of milk, 5 unintended substances that had potential hazard category I (high priority) were recommended for further risk assessment.

Recommendations can be made by making the Job Safety Analysis worksheet as a corrective action, the JSA worksheet as well as an evaluation reference to the deviations that occur. As a preventive measure the emergence of potential hazards can use the design of operational standards procedures for standardization

Problems and Directions of Cooperation of the National Rescue and Firefighting System with the Structures of Local Self-Government

Cel: The aim of the article is to identify directions for improving cooperation between the national rescue and firefighting system (KSRG) and local government units. The authors of this article have analysed the structure of KSRG and the powers of local government in the area of public safety, with particular emphasis on issues relating to the principles of operation, potential and tasks of the rescue and firefighting system, as well as the organizational structure of local government and its tasks in maintaining public safety. The discussion of the cooperative strategy of KSRG and local government units was also a contribution to formulating conclusions and postulates that can be used to set new directions for improving cooperation between the two entities. This is important due to the fact that they play an important role in building a security system for citizens and their property. Wprowadzenie: Ensuring security is one of the top priorities in every country’s policy. In the area of public safety, in addition to national units (State Fire Service, State Medical Rescue) and local government units, properly prepared, organized and specialized formations such as OSP, ZHP, WOPR, GOPR, TOPR and others also participate. Regardless of the type of security units, in any case, the identification of potential hazards is the basis for planning preventive measures, it allows to define the areas that involve the greatest risk of natural disasters and technical failures. Metodologia: The article uses theoretical research methods, including an analysis of the provisions of the Act on Fire Protection, the Regulation on the Detailed Organization of the National Rescue and Firefighting System, the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the Act on Volunteer Fire Brigades and the acts regulating the status and tasks of local government. The article discusses the structure and tasks of the national rescue and firefighting system, with particular emphasis on the cooperation of KSRG with the local government units. The publication also formulates de lege ferenda postulates. While presenting proposals to improve the cooperation of entities operating within KSRG, the authors also used their knowledge and experience gained during many years of work and service for fire protection. Wnioski: The national rescue and firefighting system is an integral part of our country’s public safety system. The experience of recent years has confirmed that it is an effective guarantee of the safety of people and property, while its structure forms a coherent system of rescue forces and resources centred around various entities. Constant technological and political-economic changes impose the need to improve the system and adapt it to current social needs. Therefore, the development of KSRG still requires setting new tasks and looking for solutions to effectively achieve the goals of the system. An important element to improve the operation of KSRG is the construction of the best possible form of cooperation between the rescue formations of the PSP and OSP and local government, since effective security protection is not possible without the cooperation of government and local administration. Słowa kluczowe: public safety, rescue and firefighting system, local government, fire protection
