本世纪我国大陆地区还可能发生多少次巨大地震

利用现有地震目录,在假定我国大陆地区为一个相对独立的地震活动区,巨大地震的孕育不受其它地区地震的影响的前提下,分析了巨大地震活动特征。结果表明,我国大陆地区巨大地震活动具有成组性和阶段性特点。由此对本世纪巨大地震发生进行了估计：本世纪我国大陆地区尚可发生6次左右巨大地震,下次巨大地震最早可在2019年前后发生。     

基于Probit-Bayes方法的储罐地震易损性研究

为了研究地震对储罐造成的影响,结合历史上储罐的震害资料,将储罐的损伤程度进行分级,通过采用Bayes方法估计Probit模型参数,再转化成储罐的损伤概率,给出了各个损伤状态下的模型参数及给定地震加速度下储罐的损伤概率,提出了1种基于Probit -Bayes方法估计储罐易损性的计算方法。结果表明:所提出的地震损伤计算方法,能够有效的评估储罐在不同地震加速度下的损伤程度,可为震后储罐的安全评估提供理论依据。     

Population collapses in the pre-modern period: case study of the Fuping County,Northwest China

The pre-modern history of population change in the Fuping County (Shaanxi Province, China) during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (AD 1368–1911) was reconstructed using historical sources. The Fuping County experienced two major population collapses, i.e. the late Ming Dynasty (1550–1640s) and the 1860–1880s. The first one was caused by the great AD 1556 earthquake and the extreme droughts and warfare in the 1630–1640s. The second one was caused by warfare and extreme droughts. As a whole, natural disasters, including extreme drought and great earthquake, were the key direct causes of population collapse, and climatic cooling would be a potential indirect cause. It is very interesting that population collapses occurred almost synchronously in the Fuping County and whole China, and the trends of population change were also very similar. Climate–population relationship in China would be valid at finer geographic level, and climatic cooling could be a potential indirect cause of population collapse.     

Risk factors for long‐term post‐traumatic stress disorder among medical rescue workers appointed to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake response in China

This study aims to determine the risk factors for clinically‐significant post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Chinese medical rescue workers one year after the response to the Wenchuan earthquake on 12 May 2008. A sample of 337 medical workers who performed response work within the first three months of the event completed an online questionnaire, which included information on demographics, social support, the management and organisation of the disaster response, and an assessment of PTSD. Symptoms consistent with PTSD were prevalent in 17 per cent of the rescue workers. Those who developed PTSD symptoms were more likely to have been injured, experienced a water shortage, been disconnected from family and friends during the response, and have passive coping styles and neurotic personalities. Factors that cannot be changed easily, such as personality traits, should be evaluated prior to deployment to ensure that rescue workers at higher risk of PTSD are provided with adequate support before and during deployment.     

汶川地震灾区坡面和沟谷泥石流冲出距离计算方法

坡面型和沟谷型泥石流是2种不同的泥石流,不能用单一模型来计算它们的冲出距离。经分类研究,发现它们冲出距离的主影响因子有很大不同:对于沟谷型泥石流,主要是沟道内的松散物质储量;而对于坡面型泥石流,主要是坡面松散体的高度以及体积。2种泥石流的冲出角分布也存在很大差别:研究区沟谷型泥石流的冲出角在29.6°～82.9°之间,表现出"高量级、高冲出角"的特征;坡面型泥石流的冲出角在25°～47°之间,且大部分的冲出角在30°左右,表现出"低量级、低冲出角"的特征。在此分析的基础上,用回归分析方法建立了汶川地震灾区2种不同类型泥石流冲出距离的计算方法。最后,将经验计算方法用陈家坝文家坪坡面泥石流和红椿沟泥石流进行验证,与实际值较为吻合。     

城市地震次生灾害演化机理分析及仿真研究

根据对城市地震次生灾害发生机理的分析,绘制了地震次生灾害演化的因果回路图和存量流量图。在此基础上借助系统动力学仿真软件Vensim PLE,对城市地震次生灾害演化过程建立了系统动力学模型,并进行了模型验证及仿真,得出了不同防震抗灾能力下城市地震次生灾害可能造成的损失情况,为城市防震救灾工作提供参考。     

资本资产定价模型在工程地震保险费率厘定中的应用

作为国际金融市场的重要组成部分,保险市场在当下的全球经济复苏中发挥着重要作用。保险是地震灾害危机处理的一种重要方式。现有的工程地震保费厘定通常只着力于纯保费,对风险附加费的考量往往依经验,从而导致保费中无法体现对风险的补偿,成为工程地震险发展的瓶颈。本文通过将金融市场中的资本资产定价模型(CAPM)引入工程地震险的定价分析,从资本市场的角度探讨该模型在工程地震险定价中的应用,弥补了传统工程地震险保费厘定方法的固有缺陷,使得保费计算更为科学合理。最后,应用于一具体工程实例,验证了该模型的可行性和有效性。     

Long-term gendered consequences of permanent disabilities caused by the 2005 Pakistan earthquake

This study documents the long-term gendered impact of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake on women and men who were rendered paraplegic as a result of spinal cord injuries sustained during the disaster. Coping mechanisms are also mapped. The findings show that three years after the disaster, paraplegic women are socially, emotionally, and financially isolated. The small stipend they receive is a significant source of income, but it has also led to marital distrust, violence, and abuse. In contrast, men receive full social and emotional support. Their key concern is that the government is not providing them with opportunities to be economically productive. Contemporary discourse and post-disaster policies, while acknowledging the importance of incorporating a gender perspective in the immediate post-disaster period, have failed to acknowledge and address the longer-term gendered impact of disasters, in terms of the different types of impact and strategies adopted by women and men.
