Dealing with complex challenges worldwide regarding sustainable development and environmental management requires applied frameworks to understand and manage change in complex social-ecological systems. In this regard, frameworks that have originated from different research arenas such as the State-and-Transition Model and the sustainable livelihoods approach provide a conceptual basis for theory and operative integration. The aim of this paper was to provide a conceptual model for social-ecological research and sustainable management in semi-arid pastoral systems. We suggest integrating the state-and-transition model by including structural and functional features of social-ecological systems into the sustainable livelihoods approach. Both attributes are analysed at a household level in five types of capital that typically comprise social-ecological systems: natural, human, manufactured, social and financial. We propose to perform the structural-functional analysis for each capital as separate sub-systems in order to assess the impact of different disturbance factors. Some implications of this framework are explained by providing an example of the impact of drought in smallholder pastoral systems from semi-arid rangelands of North-West Patagonia, Argentina. This approach is encouraging as a step towards two main challenges: (i) the provision of applied frameworks for social-ecological assessment and management, and (ii) an attempt to bring closer science and decision making.

This paper describes a method that addresses the transient loss of observations in sea surface target state estimations. A six degrees of freedom swing platform fixed with a MiniRadaScan is used to simulate the loss of observations. The state transition model based on the historical observation data fit prediction is designed because the existing state estimation method can only use the system model prediction while the observation is missing. An observation data sliding window width adaptive adjustment strategy is proposed that can improve the fitting accuracy of the state transition model. To solve the problem where the weight value of the Gaussian components of the Gaussian mixture filter is not changed in the time update stage while the observation is missing, an adaptive adjustment strategy for the weight is proposed based on the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation, which can improve the estimation precision under the conditions of the missing observation. The simulation test demonstrates the proposed accuracy and real-time performance of the proposed algorithm.
