Accelerating and enhancing the generation of socioeconomic data to inform forced displacement policy and response

open access: yesData & Policy, 2023
There are now an estimated 114 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, some 88% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries. For governments and international organizations to design effective policies and responses, they require comparable and ...

Improved procedure for determining the ductility of buildings under seismic loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Displacement ductility is a parameter that characterizes the seismic response of structures. Moreover, displacement ductility can be used in order to determine whether a structural design, performed according to a specific seismic code or not, may ...

Exploring interactions between socioeconomic context and natural hazards on human population displacement

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Climate change is leading to more extreme weather hazards, forcing human populations to be displaced. We employ explainable machine learning techniques to model and understand internal displacement flows and patterns from observational data alone.

Assessing the Environmental Suitability for Transhumance in Support of Conflict Prevention in the Sahel

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Increasing conflicts between farmers and pastoralists continue to be a major challenge in the Sahel. Political and social factors are in tandem important underlying determinants for conflicts in the region, which are amplified by the variability and ...

Housing, Land and Property in Conflict and Displacement Settings

open access: yesDeusto Journal of Human Rights, 2017
La vivienda y el suelo son las primeras cosas que las personas desplazadas pierden cuando son obligadas a abandonar sus lugares de origen. Una vez recuperada la paz y asentada la seguridad en el país las PDI, a menudo, tienen dificultades para recuperar ...

A fibre optic sensor for the measurement of surface roughness and displacement using artificial neural networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This paper presents a fiber optic sensor system, artificial neural networks (fast back-propagation) are employed for the data processing. The use of the neural networks makes it possible for the sensor to be used both for surface roughness and ...

Resilience actions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in camp-like settings: a Northern Nigeria case study

open access: yesJournal of Migration and Health, 2022
Background: There are about 55 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), and some live in camp settlements, often for protracted periods. However, there is limited evidence on camp management and self-management strategies adopted by camp-dwelling IDPs.

Resonant speed meter for gravitational wave detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Gravitational-wave detectors have been well developed and operated with high sensitivity. However, they still suffer from mirror displacement noise. In this paper, we propose a resonant speed meter, as a displacement noise-canceled configuration based on
