<p>The fulfillment of water demands needs to consider climate variability impacts on water availability. A seasonal change from wet to dry may have a negative impact on water availability leading to water scarcity for domestic purposes. Therefore, information on water condition until sub-district level is important. We did water balance approach to analyze water condition especially during dry season in Malang district, East Java for period 2007-2016. Our results showed that several sub-districts faced a serious problem with water deficit condition. During dry season, an increased domestic water demand was not supported by water availability, which caused some villages could not provide basic water for domestic purposes. Further, the research may contribute to support mitigation and adaptation strategy for climate extreme in the region.</p>

<p align="justify">Abstract:. The key factors which supported to develop sustainaibility in the environmental management in the industrial estate was studied by many approaches. The principles of analysis were elaborated by the multi dimension key factors that affecting the policy of the environmental manager in ecology, economy, social, technology and estate management aspects. This study was initiated by considering and combining the dominant factors which the results of prior researches that using Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) method. The dominants factors were reveiwed by expert judgment approach by Bourgeois matrix as the propective analysis tool. The analysis was focus in the key factors that has low value in the dependence (&lt;1) but has high value in the influence (&gt;1) of the normalized graph of dependence-inluence. The key factors were a) implementation of 3R for hazardous waste; b) industrial wastewater quality; c) industrial estate wastewater quality ;d) labor condition, and e) industrial water demand. The study was analyze that the optimistic scenario can be obtained<br />by the industrial estate manager by conducting the strategic steps. The initial program was recommended by enforcing the industrial companies to improve their waste water quality and increasing 3R of hazardous waste, that will enhance increasing the waste water quality of the centralized wastewater treatment of industrial estate. The environmental synergy between industrial company and industrial estate management will promote the good labour condition and stakeholders trust for more business opportunities that indicated by increasing industrial water demand.</p>

&lt;p&gt;An increasing number of mega-cities, such as Cape Town and S&amp;#227;o Paulo, are confronted with increasing droughts as well as an increase in water demand. Inevitably, this leads to an increasing pressure on the available water resources and associated risks and economic impact for the water dependent sectors, such as drinking water supply, industry, energy production, agriculture, and nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here, we present the WaterLOUPE approach (https://deltares.nl/waterloupe) to estimating water scarcity risk for mega-cities and their surrounding catchment that combines the global model PCR-GLOBWB and global datasets (e.g. Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and OECD Economic Outlook) with local datasets and local expert knowledge. Data and models provide the required information to estimate the water scarcity hazard, level of exposure of the relevant sectors and their vulnerability. With our approach we estimate sector-specific risks at the spatial scale of sub-catchments or municipalities. Moreover, the water scarcity risk is provided both for the current situation and future climatic and socio-economic scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our approach has been tested, both technically and through stakeholder workshops, in several case studies (S&amp;#227;o Paolo, Cape Town, Cali, and Tel Aviv-Yafo). The results of our sector-specific water scarcity risk calculations have shown to reflect the local situation of water users in mega-cities very well. As such, the outcomes of the approach have provided a useful knowledge base that enables stakeholders in the catchment to discuss water scarcity risk, which is a first step to collaboration on mitigation and adaptation strategies to decrease water scarcity risks in mega-cities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall, it can be concluded that although climate change tends to decrease water availability, the main drivers of the water scarcity risk are socioeconomical and are related to the strong growth of water demand and the high vulnerability of specific water users. Generally, it was found that water scarcity risks for poor households, small scale farmers, local businesses and nature are relatively high, also under moderate drought conditions. On the other hand, the risks for industries and non-poor households are low to moderate even in more drought prone areas or periods. In most cases the level of water scarcity risk is expected to increase in the future, underlining the urgency for mega-cities to develop actionable and inclusive strategies to mitigate and adapt to the new normal of increasing water stress.&lt;/p&gt;

Polymer microscopy involves multiple imaging techniques. Speed, simplicity, and productivity are key factors in running an industrial polymer microscopy lab. In polymer science, the morphology of a multi-phase blend is often the link between process and properties. The extent to which the researcher can quantify the morphology determines the strength of the link. To aid the polymer microscopist in these tasks, digital imaging systems are becoming more prevalent. Advances in computers, digital imaging hardware and software, and network technologies have made it possible to implement digital imaging systems in industrial microscopy labs.

Abstract Ratings for “non-specific chronic, or chronic reoccurring, back pain” are based on the diagnosis-based impairment method whereby an impairment class, usually representing a range of impairment values within a cell of a grid, is selected by diagnosis and “specific criteria” (key factors). Within the impairment class, the default impairment value then can be modified using non-key factors or “grade modifiers” such as functional history, physical examination, and clinical studies using the net adjustment formula. The diagnosis of “nonspecific chronic, or chronic reoccurring, back pain” can be rated in class 0 and 1; the former has a default value of 0%, and the latter has a default value of 2% before any modifications. The key concept here is that the physician believes that the patient is experiencing pain, yet there are no related objective findings, most notably radiculopathy as distinguished from “nonverifiable radicular complaints.” If the individual is found not to have radiculopathy and the medical record shows that the patient has never had clinically verifiable radiculopathy, then the diagnosis of “intervertebral disk herniation and/or AOMSI [alteration of motion segment integrity] cannot be used.” If the patient is asymptomatic at maximum medical improvement, then impairment Class 0 should be chosen, not Class 1; a final whole person impairment rating of 1% indicates incorrect use of the methodology.

The paper studies the factors of secular stagnation. Key factors of long-term slowdown in economic growth include the slowdown of technological development, aging population, human capital accumulation limits, high public debt, creative destruction process violation etc. The authors analyze key theoretical aspects of long-term stagnation and study the impact of these factors on Japanies economy. The authors conclude that most of the factors have significant influence on the Japanese economy for recent decades, but they cannot explain all dynamics. For Russia, on the contrary, we do not see any grounds for considering the decline in the economy since 2013 as an episode of secular stagnation.

In order to assess the risks and determine the optimal actions to ensure the safety of work at chemical and petrochemical plants, a method has been developed that allows identifying operations that require optimization and the introduction of additional protective measures. A brief overview of the key factors that affect the safety and effectiveness of operations is provided. The method is based on the concept of zero injuries — Vision Zero, which assumes that absolutely all accidents at work can be prevented. This method is necessary for a deeper analysis of production operations and improving the level of safety protection.
