Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response01:29

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

520
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

1.0K
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.5K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Proton (¹H) NMR: Chemical Shift01:07

Proton (¹H) NMR: Chemical Shift

3.5K
Organic molecules primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. While all the hydrogen isotopes are NMR-active, protium or hydrogen-1 is the most abundant. It has a significant energy separation between its nuclear spin states due to its large gyromagnetic ratio. As per Boltzmann's distribution, an increase in the energy separation implies a greater excess population of nuclei available for excitation, resulting in a strong NMR absorption signal.
Absorption signals of all the protium nuclei...

NMR Spectroscopy: Chemical Shift Overview

3.3K
The position of the absorption signal of a sample is reported relative to the position of the signal of tetramethylsilane (TMS), which is added as an internal reference while recording spectra. The difference between the absorption frequencies of the sample and TMS (in Hz) is divided by the spectrometer operating frequency (in MHz) to obtain a dimensionless quantity called the chemical shift. It is reported on the δ (delta) scale and expressed in parts per million.
For instance, the proton...

Summary

Disaster managers are adapting expertise by integrating community knowledge and politics. This "lateral knowledge" approach helps them manage uncertain events, moving beyond traditional technocratic methods.

Area of Science:

  • Disaster Management Studies
  • Sociology of Expertise
  • Science and Technology Studies

Background:

  • Traditional disaster management often perceived as technocratic and exclusionary.
  • Existing approaches struggle to effectively manage the inherent uncertainty of catastrophic events.
  • Disaster managers are seeking alternative sense-making frameworks beyond conventional scientific analytics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze how disaster managers in Chile develop adaptive expertise to cope with uncertainty.
  • To explore the concept of 'lateral knowledge' as an epistemic adjustment in disaster management.
  • To understand how practitioners revalidate their expert status by expanding assumptions in disaster risk reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research design.
  • In-depth interviews with disaster managers in Chile.
  • Analysis of emergent narratives and sense-making practices.

Main Results:

  • Disaster managers develop 'lateral knowledge' by modifying and enriching their understanding of disasters.
  • This adaptation involves validating community knowledge and recognizing the political dimensions of disaster management.
  • Expertise is revalidated through an expanded understanding of disaster risk reduction.

Conclusions:

  • Lateral knowledge, integrating community insights and political context, is crucial for effective disaster management.
  • Disaster managers actively adapt their expertise to navigate complex and uncertain environments.
  • Scholars in public understanding of science should examine the adaptive capacities of expertise in practice.
