Delimitação automática de bacias de drenagens e análise multivariada de atributos morfométricos usando modelo digital de elevação hidrologicamente corrigido

A topologia e geometria das redes de drenagem têm contribuído substancialmente para os estudos em geomorfologia e hidrologia, incluindo modernos modelos de evolução da paisagem. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma metodologia para extração automatizada de bacias e sub-bacias de drenagem e calcular seus atributos morfométricos agrupando-as pelassimilaridades. A metodologia pode ser dividida nas seguintes etapas: (a) construção do Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE)hidrologicamente corrigido, (b) delimitação das bacias de drenagem a partir do MDE considerando a hierarquização de baciasde drenagem proposta por Strahler, (c) cálculo dos atributos morfométricos das bacias de drenagem e (d) análise estatísticamultivariada (análise de grupos e análise de componentes principais). Neste trabalho são apresentados algoritmos para a extração da rede de drenagem e dos limites de bacias a partir do MDE como também muitos problemas pertinentes. A preparação do MDE incluiu o preenchimento de depressões, introdução da drenagem e o cálculo da direção de fluxo e grade de acumulaçãode fluxo. A análise de componentes principais reduziu os atributos morfométricos da bacia de drenagem em três fatores, com altaporcentagem da variância original. A partir da análise de grupos definiram-se sete classes de bacias com padrões morfológicos típicos. Os resultados obtidos sugerem a viabilidade de aplicação da mesma seqüência de procedimentos para outras áreas. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThe topology and geometry of the drainage networks have contributed substantially to geomorphology and hydrologystudies, including modern concepts of landscape evolution. This work aims at presenting a methodology for automatedextraction of drainage basins and sub-basins, calculating their morphometric attributes and grouping them in accordance totheir similarities. The methodology can be subdivided into four stages: (a) elaboration of the hydrologically corrected DEM; (b )delimitation catchment boundaries from digital elevation model (DEM) according to Strahler’s drainage network order; (c)determination of the drainage-basin morphometric attributes, and (d) multivariate analysis (factor analysis and cluster analysi s).In this paper algorithms for drainage network extraction and catchment boundaries from DEMs, as well as their most pertinentproblems, are presented. The DEM preparation included pit filling, stream burning and the calculation of flow direction and flo waccumulation grids. The Principal Component Analysis reduced the morphometric attributes of the drainage basins in threefactors, with high percentage of the original variance. Cluster analysis defined seven classes of basins with typical morphologicalpatterns. The results suggest that it is viable to apply the same sequence of procedures in other geographic areas

VITASENIOR-MT: a telehealth solution for the elderly focused on the interaction with TV

Remote monitoring of health parameters is a promising approach to improve the health condition and quality of life of particular groups of the population, which can also alleviate the current expenditure and demands of healthcare systems. The elderly, usually affected by chronic comorbidities, are a specific group of the population that can strongly benefit from telehealth technologies, allowing them to reach a more independent life, by living longer in their own homes. Usability of telehealth technologies and their acceptance by end-users are essential requirements for the success of telehealth implementation. Older people are resistant to new technologies or have difficulty in using them due to vision, hearing, sensory and cognition impairments. In this paper, we describe the implementation of an IoT-based telehealth solution designed specifically to address the elderly needs. The end-user interacts with a TV-set to record biometric parameters, and to receive warning and recommendations related to health and environmental sensor recordings. The familiarization of older people with the TV is expected to provide a more user-friendly interaction ensuring the effectiveness integration of the end-user in the overall telehealth solution.This work has been financially supported by the IC&DT project VITASENIOR-MT CENTRO-01-0145-FEDER- 023659 with FEDER funding through programs CENTRO2020 and FCT.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear understanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5,6,7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8,9,10,11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world's most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepresented in biodiversity databases.13,14,15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may eliminate pieces of the Amazon's biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological communities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple organism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region's vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most neglected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lost

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI
