Why the poor pay with their lives: oil pipeline vandalisation, fires and human security in Nigeria

Since its discovery in Nigeria in 1956 crude oil has been a source of mixed blessing to the country. It is believed to have generated enormous wealth, but it has also claimed a great many lives. Scholarly attention on the impact of oil on security in Nigeria has largely focused on internal conflicts rather than on how disasters associated with oil pipeline vandalisation have impacted on human security in terms of causing bodily injuries and death, destroying livelihoods and fracturing families. This paper examines how pipeline vandalisation affects human security in these ways. It identifies women and children as those who are hardest hit and questions why the poor are the most vulnerable in oil pipeline disasters in this country. It recommends the adoption of a comprehensive and integrated framework of disaster management that will ensure prompt response to key early warning signs, risk-reduction and appropriate mitigation and management strategies.     

海上钻井平台井喷事故人因失误分析

井喷是海上钻井平台的重要威胁，而人因失误又是造成井喷的主要原因，所以对井喷事故人因失误分析对指导海上钻井安全有重要意义。本文建立了井喷事故人因失误类故障树模型，并对此进行定量分析。根据井喷事故的4个指标并结合风险图得到降低风险所需的置信水平，然后使用训练屏障和 GPS 定位屏障将风险降低到可接受水平。最后通过蝴蝶结模型将安全屏障对风险的影响清楚的展示出来，为人因失误的预防和控制提供指导。     

Roles of Patch Characteristics,Drought Frequency,and Restoration in Long‐Term Trends of a Widespread Amphibian

Despite the high profile of amphibian declines and the increasing threat of drought and fragmentation to aquatic ecosystems, few studies have examined long‐term rates of change for a single species across a large geographic area. We analyzed growth in annual egg‐mass counts of the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris) across the northwestern United States, an area encompassing 3 genetic clades. On the basis of data collected by multiple partners from 98 water bodies between 1991 and 2011, we used state‐space and linear‐regression models to measure effects of patch characteristics, frequency of summer drought, and wetland restoration on population growth. Abundance increased in the 2 clades with greatest decline history, but declined where populations are considered most secure. Population growth was negatively associated with temporary hydroperiods and landscape modification (measured by the human footprint index), but was similar in modified and natural water bodies. The effect of drought was mediated by the size of the water body: populations in large water bodies maintained positive growth despite drought, whereas drought magnified declines in small water bodies. Rapid growth in restored wetlands in areas of historical population declines provided strong evidence of successful management. Our results highlight the importance of maintaining large areas of habitat and underscore the greater vulnerability of small areas of habitat to environmental stochasticity. Similar long‐term growth rates in modified and natural water bodies and rapid, positive responses to restoration suggest pond construction and other forms of management can effectively increase population growth. These tools are likely to become increasingly important to mitigate effects of increased drought expected from global climate change.

Occupant behavior in a six-storey office building fallowing severe earthquake damage

In the Imperial County, California, earthquake of 15th October 1979, the Imperial County Services Building was seriously damaged — and has subsequently been demolished. At the time of the earthquake there were approximately 123 occupants in the six-storey reinforced concrete building which housed a number of county service departments. This paper investigates occupant behavior in a building subjected to an earthquake, and describes, in detail, what people do during and immediately subsequent to the shock.     

桐梓河流域输沙量变化及其对气候和人类活动的响应

基于桐梓河流域二郎坝水文站1975-2015年长时间序列降水、蒸散量及输沙量数据,通过累积距平法、Morlet小波分析和Hurst指数等数理统计方法;定量分析了流域40年以来输沙量的演变过程以及未来变化趋势,并应用累积量斜率变化率比较法定量评估了研究区降雨量变化和人类活动对流域输沙量变化的影响和贡献率。研究结果表明：（1）40年来流域降水量介于608.10~1132.70 mm之间,其平均值为829.00 mm,呈不显著减小趋势,年均减小量为-3.10 mm/a。（2）流域年输沙量介于0.44万~478.01万t,其平均值为64.68万t,呈极显著减少趋势,减少速率为-4.13万t/a。未来流域输沙量呈持续递减趋势,但10年后将呈现出增加趋势。（3）1989年为流域输沙量的突变年份,1989年以前呈现上升趋势,1989年之后呈显著下降趋势,且突变年份后输沙量较突变年份前减少了76.82%。（4）输沙量存在12年左右的年代际震荡周期,形成了两个高震荡周期和一个低震荡中心,高震荡周期位于1976-1979年以及1986-1992年,低震荡周期位于1979-1985年。（5）多年季节输沙量呈持续性减少趋势,夏季输沙量在8年之后可能呈现出增加趋势,而其他季节则不存在持续性周期。（6）以1975-1989为基准期,降水量和人类活动对流域输沙量的贡献在1990-2015年分别达到4.87%和95.14%;如果考虑蒸发量对流域输沙量的影响,则人类活动对桐梓河流域径流量变化的贡献率在2003-2015年会增加到98.65%。流域输沙量在1990-2015年的减少主要由人类活动控制,人类活动每年导致输沙量减少1.57万t。

贵州某锑冶炼厂周边农田土壤锑、砷污染与人体健康风险评估

本研究以贵州省独山县某锑冶炼厂周边农田土壤为研究对象,系统采集17个土壤样品,测定了土壤中Sb、As总含量,并采用生理提取试验(PBET)和简化生物可给性提取试验(SBET)两种体外胃肠模拟实验方法分析了土壤中Sb、As的生物可给态含量,基于土壤Sb、As总量和生物可给性(PBET和SBET)评估了研究区锑、砷污染土壤暴露引起的潜在人体健康风险。结果表明:研究区农田土壤锑、砷污染严重,土壤中Sb(55.63±75.59 mg/kg)和As(44.31±38.34 mg/kg)的平均含量均超过贵州省区域背景值和我国农用地土壤污染风险筛选值;土壤中SBET和PBET提取的生物可给态Sb和As含量和计算得到的生物可给性都较低,大多数样品的生物可给性低于40%。相对于元素总量,基于Sb和As生物可给性(PBET和SBET)的人体非致癌风险(HQ和HI)和致癌风险(CR)均显著降低,其中成人和儿童的非致癌风险值均降至安全值范围,但是As的致癌风险除了CR_SBET-成人降至安全水平,CR_PBET-成人、CR_SBET-儿童以及CR_PBET-儿童值仍处于1.0E-06~1.0E-04之间,表明As对当地成人和儿童的潜在致癌风险仍不容忽视,特别是儿童。
