Various studies have been conducted based on precipitation outputs of the global scale climatic models under different emission scenarios. However, there is a limitation in regional- and local-scale hydrological analysis on extreme floods with the combined application of high-resolution atmospheric general circulation models’ (AGCM) outputs and physically-based hydrological models (PBHM). This study has taken an effort to overcome that limitation in hydrological analysis. The present and future precipitation, river runoff, and inundation distributions for the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB) were analyzed to understand hydrological changes in the LMB under the RCP8.5 scenario.

Understanding floods behavior using simulation modelling, of magnitude and flow direction, is the challenges of hydrological community faces. Most of the floods behaviors are depended on mechanism of rainfall and surface data sets (topography and land cover) that are specific for some area on a ground observation data. Remote sensing datasets possess the potential for flood prediction systems on a spatially on datasets. However, the datasets are confined to the limitation of space-time resolution and accuracy, and the best apply of these data over hydrological model can be revealed on the uncertainties for the best flood modelling. Furthermore, it is important to recommend effective of data collecting to simulate flood phenomena. For modelling nearby the real situation of the floods mechanism with different data sources, the difficult task can be solved by using distributed hydrological models to simulate spatial flow based on grid systems.

  • Crafting Colombianidad: Race, Citizenship and the Localization of Policy in Philadelphia
    CRAFTING COLOMBIANIDAD: RACE, CITIZENSHIP AND THE LOCALIZATION OF POLICY IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Diane R. Garbow July 2016 Examining Committee Members: Judith Goode, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Naomi Schiller, Department of Anthropology Melissa Gilbert, Department of Geography and Urban Studies Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas, External Member, City University of New York © Copyright 2016 by Diane R. Garbow All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In contrast to the municipalities across the United States that restrict migration and criminalize the presence of immigrants, Philadelphia is actively seeking to attract immigrants as a strategy to reverse the city’s limited economic and political importance caused by decades of deindustrialization and population loss. In 2010, the population of Philadelphia increased for the first time in six decades. This achievement, widely celebrated by the local government and in the press, was only made possible through increased immigration. This dissertation examines how efforts to attract migrants, through the creation of localized policy and institutions that facilitate incorporation, transform assertions of citizenship and the dynamics of race for Colombian migrants. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Colombians’ articulations of citizenship, and the ways they extend beyond juridical and legal rights, are enabled and constrained under new regimes of localized policy. In the dissertation, I examine citizenship as a set of performances and practices that occur in quotidian tasks that seek to establish a sense of belonging. Without a complex understanding of the effects of local migration policy, and how they differ from the effects of federal policy, we fail to grasp how Philadelphia’s promotion of migration has unstable and unequal effects for differentially situated actors.

  • Narratives of Privilege
    NARRATIVES OF PRIVILEGE An Ethnographic Study of Colombian- Born Women Living in Melbourne, Australia By Viktoria Adler This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Urban Transitions Faculty of Health, Art & Design Swinburne University of Technology 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the research question: how do Colombian-born women who identify as white, and middle or upper class, and are therefore privileged in Colombia, experience their privilege living as migrants in Melbourne? I do so by analysing their life story narratives. These narratives show how the women experience privilege as stemming from their belonging to the socially dominant culture, race and class in Colombia, and how their embodied privileges shape their experiences in Australia. My study is ethnographic and involved two years of fieldwork among the Colombian- born community in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. I conducted life story interviews and I carried out participant observation at women’s workplaces, cultural events in Colombian and other Latin American communities, recreational activities, and gatherings with family and friends, as well as by spending time with each of the women on other occasions. Interviews were conducted in English or Spanish, audio- recorded, transcribed and examined using thematic analysis. I conceptualise privilege as the product of intersecting and at times contradictory social locations such as race, ethnicity, gender and class a person occupies in a particular context, in relation to others. I argue that these women have been able to transfer key aspects of their privilege to Australia although they are not white and upper class in an Australian context.

Spatial and temporal variations in trace element concentrations were observed. Although trace element contamination levels were low, the increased urbanization and agricultural and industrial activities may adversely affect ecosystems and human health. The periodic monitoring of marine environments is recommended in order to minimize human health risks from the consumption of contaminated marine organisms. Keywords: trace element; environment; pollution; sediment; gulf of Thailand 1. Introduction Environmental pollution is an urgent concern worldwide [1]. Pollutant contamination can exert adverse effects on ecosystems and human health [2]. Trace elements are one type of pollutant released into the environment, and metal contamination levels are rising. The main sources of trace elements are natural activities such as volcanic eruptions and soil erosion, and human activities such as industrial production, waste disposal, the discharge of contaminated wastewater, the inappropriate management of electronic waste (e-waste), and the application of fertilizers in agriculture [3–7]. Once trace elements are released into the environment, they can be dispersed by the wind and deposited in soil and bodies of water, accumulating in marine sediments [8,9].

  • II. the Worst Floods in Thailand in Half a Century
    II. The Worst Floods in Thailand in Half a Century: The 2011 Floods September 2016 1 Preface Whilst Asia is ranked as the most disaster prone region in the world in terms of both natural and man- made disasters, research and training in the Asia-Pacific region is limited. Better understanding of the disaster epidemiological profile and human health impact will enhance response, preparedness and mitigation of the adverse human impact of disaster. The concept of case-teaching method has been used extensively in research and teaching of disasters and humanitarian studies at schools of public health around the world, including Harvard School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Through the existing partners and networks of The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care, the Public Health Humanitarian Initiatives of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response, this disaster and humanitarian relief monograph series composed of 8 case study reports have been developed using a standardized analytical and reporting framework. Methods for case study including literature review, stakeholder interviews and retrospective data analysis have been employed. This case study series aims at highlighting the key lessons learnt in disaster medical and public health response in the Asia. The goal is to develop Asia-specific teaching materials for public health and medicine in disaster and humanitarian response. The “Guidelines for Reports on Health Crises and Critical Health Events” framework has been adopted as a reference for the literature search and the identification of key areas for analysis (1).

  • Conflicts and Politics Associated with the 2011 Thailand Flood
    Conflicts and Politics Associated with the 2011 Thailand Flood Yoshifumi TAMADA INTRODUCTION Floods involve not only technical issues such as identifying the causes, developing and implementing disaster control measures, and water resource management; they also involve issues of profit and loss distribution, with decisions related to when and how sacrifices, compensation, and relief are assigned to whom (Kasian 2011). The 2011 Thailand floods involved not only a people’s fight against water, but also involved many cases of conflict among people. Amid the floods, people sought scapegoats for the causes of the floods, claiming that the disaster was beyond imagination to evade blame. They argued about which communities should face the force of the river overflow. Fierce conflicts related to guidance of the flood flows to one community or another erupted particularly between Bangkok and neighboring provinces, and within Bangkok, between the left and right banks of the Chao Phraya River and on the left bank between the Phra Nakhon Area and the eastern area. Heated arguments arose in relation to short-, medium-, and long-term flood control measures, involving issues such as whether to build a dam in an upstream area or not, where in a midstream area to place a retarding 1 basin, whether to build a ring levee around entire industrial estates and urban areas to prevent water inflow in the downstream delta area or not, and who is responsible for undertaking their design and construction. Regarding the issue of aid for flood victims, community neighbors disputed who should receive ex gratia and compensatory payments. Disputes associated with the floods in various aspects intensified while involving political conflicts.
