Natural disasters have caused not only economic but also human losses. These events bring with them, among other things, deficiencies in the supply of food, clothing, health and cleaning products, to name a few. This situation makes it imperative to locate facilities that can supply the needs, as mentioned earlier, to the victims in the…

The Gembong reservoir in Pati Regency, Java, Indonesia is a rain-fed reservoir, which experiences a depletion of it carrying capacity. The characteristic of local rainfall is one of the important factors in assessing the potential of hydrometeorology disasters in its area. Sedimentation in watersheds and reservoirs has covered water sources, so local rainfall determines the…

This application developing for the project OCEMA comes as result of architecture building in Android, then the development of a professional modeling in Talend Open Studio for Big Data, which enabled the integration of data from many data sources. One of its uses is the quick identification of people found in areas affected by natural…

Nowadays, text annotation plays an important role within real-time social media mining. Social media analysis provides actionable information to its users in times of natural disasters. This paper presents an approach to a real-time two layer text annotation system for social media stream to the domain of natural disasters. The proposed system annotates raw tweets…

Droughts are undesirable and highly unwanted form of disasters. It is essential to analyse the cause of such extreme events and act accordingly to pave the way for a sustainable future. The present research work conducts a seasonality and trend analysis of rainfall over the eight districts of Marathwada region. The study is carried out…

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a popular quality assurance technique in software engineering. However, integrating SAST tools into industry-level product development and security assessment poses various technical and managerial challenges. In this work, we reported a longitudinal case study of adopting SAST as a part of a human-driven security assessment for an open-source e-government…

Rescuers escorted search dogs into the disaster area, using their unique sense of smell to find the injured. First, researchers summarize the design requirements in the search process from interviews with rescuers, and construct a conceptual prototype to confirm the interaction mode between the user and the dog. User central design invited people melt into…

The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be a valuable contribution in disaster situations or life-threatening exploration. Using wireless mobile robots, it is possible to explore vast areas without human intervention. However, the wireless network coverage that can keep mobile robots connected to the base station / gateway is a major limitation. With this…

The population living in the residential area in two villages, including Pohuwato village and Pohuwato Timur village, are mostly fishermen, who live under the poverty line, meaning that the people there have low income. The objective of the present study was to explore the living condition in terms of the physical, social, and economic aspects…

Portuguese organizations that have invoicing software, certified by the Tax and Customs Authority, need to comply with technical requirements that involve business continuity and disaster recovery. The recent tax legislative changes created conditions for the dematerialization of documents, allowing waiving invoice printing, encouraging the adoption of an electronic invoicing and document archiving system. The pandemic…

The field of humanitarian logistics has in recent times gained an increasing attention from both academics and practitioners communities alike. Although various research groups have addressed theoretical and technical developments in humanitarian logistics using conventional research tools, applied research appears to be often dependent on practitioners’ inputs. This paper is an attempt to fill the…

The paper proposes the design and simulation of a 6 Degree of Freedom (DOF) robotic arm, tailored for the coconut crop harvesting, assistive robots like wheelchairs and Home robots, Search and rescue robots for disastrous environments, Collaborative robots for research use. A kinematics-based solution has been developed for the robotic arm which makes it easier…

In the past decades, various ideas have proposed for reconductoring of overhead lines to enhance power transmission capacity considering growing energy demand. Conventional method of reconductoring is use to take couple of weeks but availability of shutdown for a prolong period is a major constraint in line uprating. Emergency restoration structure (ERS) is effective to…

To gather information rapidly in disaster sites, a lot of search/rescue robots have been developed. It is difficult to correspond to the complicated environment composed of fields requiring various locomotion strategies, because most of these robots have only one type of locomotion device. To increase the available search routes under such conditions with the aim…
