Challenges and opportunities for Sendai framework disaster loss reporting in the United States

Progress in Disaster Science, 2021
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction provides quantitative indicators for nations to measure progress in the reduction of disaster losses. The collection and analysis of disaster loss data under the Sendai Framework improves our understanding

Harm reduction must be recognised an essential public health intervention during crises

Harm Reduction Journal, 2021
The COVID-19 had a substantial impact on the provision of harm reduction services for people who use drugs globally. These front-line public health interventions serve a population that due to stigma, discrimination and criminalisation, faces barriers to

Hidden populations: risk behaviours in drug-using populations in the Republic of Georgia through subsequent peer-driven interventions

Harm Reduction Journal, 2021
Background Georgia has a significant risk of ongoing HIV and HCV outbreak. Within this context, harm reduction aims to reduce risk associated with drug use through community activities, such as peer recruitment and involvement.

Women and barriers to harm reduction services: a literature review and initial findings from a qualitative study in Barcelona, Spain

Harm Reduction Journal, 2020
Background There are an estimated 3.2 million women who inject drugs worldwide, constituting 20% of all people who inject drugs. The limited data that are available suggest that women who inject drugs are at greater risk of HIV and viral hepatitis ...

Exceptional reductions [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2011
Starting from basic identities of the group E8, we perform progressive reductions, namely decompositions with respect to the maximal and symmetric embeddings of E7xSU(2) and then of E6xU(1). This procedure provides a systematic approach to the basic identities involving invariant primitive tensor structures of various irreprs.

Compressive Strength Prediction of Alkali-Activated Slag Concretes by Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE)

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Compressive strength of alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete is influenced by multi-factors in a nonlinear way. Both artificial neural network (ANN) and alternating conditional expectation (ACE) models of 3-day (3 d) and 28-day (28 d) compressive ...

Strategy analysis of the extrapolation adjusted by model prediction (ExAMP) blending scheme for rainfall nowcasting

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2023
The strategies of the extrapolation adjusted by model prediction (ExAMP) blending scheme, which trusts the field pattern predicted by extrapolation and allows the field intensity to be adjusted by numerical weather prediction (NWP), for rainfall ...

Harm reduction in Europe: a framework for civil society-led monitoring

Harm Reduction Journal, 2021
Background Civil society organisations (CSOs) play a vital role in developing and implementing effective measures to reduce the harms of drug use. They are also fundamental actors to monitor and evaluate programmes and policies for improvement.
