TL;DR: In this paper, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the factors affecting the perceived effectiveness of the 2020 typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) flood disaster response among Filipinos by integrating the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).
Abstract: Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) is considered one of the most devastating typhoons in the Philippines in 2020. It caused fatalities, property destructions, and catastrophic flooding in Metro Manila and the nearby provinces. The purpose of this study was to assess the factors affecting the perceived effectiveness of the 2020 typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) flood disaster response among Filipinos by integrating the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). 567 Filipinos answered an online survey questionnaire with 75 questions (63 indicators and 11 latent variables). Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that geographical perspective (GL) and typhoon – flood experience and knowledge (TPE) had significant effects on Perceived Severity (PS) and Perceived Vulnerability (PV), which subsequently led to Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), Subjective Norms (SN), and Attitude (ATB). PBC, SN, and ATB were also found to have significant effects on Intention to Follow, which subsequently led to Behavior and Perceived Effectiveness from the 2020 Typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) flood disaster risk response. Interestingly, government support (GR) was insignificant to an effective flood disaster response, and 52.38% of respondents perceived that the typhoon had more severe effects than the flood after the typhoon. This study is the first study that analyzed the perceived effectiveness of disaster response towards 2020 Typhoon Vamco. The findings will be very beneficial for academicians and policymakers as it provides a robust model and results for experts to analyze natural disasters to develop optimum disaster risk responses in mitigating the severe effects of typhoon floods. Finally, the SEM construct can be broadened and adapted to flood disaster response effectiveness applicable in other natural disaster-prone countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified four global categories of government tools designed to support community energy: payment-based, grid access, environmental protection, and community planning and capacity, and nineteen different government instruments emerged with tools for financial support, feed-in-tariffs, grid services, and fiscal incentives.
Abstract: The adoption and encouragement of community energy, that is, the incentive to develop renewable energy projects with community participation and ownership, is a key ingredient of energy transition. Government policies and other instruments can pose both barriers and opportunities for community energy development; however, there has been little analysis of the state of research on the range of government tools to facilitate energy transition and the implications of these instruments for community energy. This paper analyses the current scholarly research on government instruments for community energy, focusing on the multiple scales of governance. Our analysis identified 108 articles addressing government instruments and community energy. Research addressing government instruments and community energy has increased substantially in recent years, with most of the emphasis on national or state instruments, situated in the European context, and focused on grid-connected communities. We identified four global categories of government tools designed to support community energy: payment-based, grid access, environmental protection and community planning and capacity. Within these categories, nineteen different government instruments emerged with tools for financial support, feed-in-tariffs, grid services, and fiscal incentives receiving the most attention. Findings emphasize the need for further research on community-focused instruments for renewable energy, the importance of coordination between levels of government to support such instruments, and analysis of the suitability of current instruments for community-appropriate energy solutions in remote and off-grid communities.

TL;DR: The concept of a “smart” government and its realization via integration of fog computing with IoT leading to a Fog-of-Things (FoT) architecture is introduced.
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is the most revolutionary and attractive technology of today without which it is nearly impossible to imagine the future due to its applications in numerous fields such as smart cities, home automation, wearable devices, etc., and its ability to make human life much easier via integration with other technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. In this paper, we have conducted a survey on the ways IoT can be utilized in various sectors of an e-Government such as pollution control, health care and voting. We have also described a six-layer IoT-based model for smart agriculture and studied the benefits of using unmanned aerial vehicles in smart agriculture. This paper further introduces the concept of a “smart” government and its realization via integration of fog computing with IoT leading to a Fog-of-Things (FoT) architecture.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper introduced a new statistical distribution to provide the best characterization of the survival times of the patients affected by the COVID-19 in China, which provided a closer fit to COVID19 events.
Abstract: At the end of December 2019, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, revealed several cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology. Later, this etiology was called the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 disease is rapidly spreading around the globe, affected millions of people, compelling governments to take serious actions. Due to this deadly disease, a number of deaths have been occurred and still increasing exponentially. In the practice and application of big data sciences, it is always of interest to provide the best description of the data. In this present article, the event background, symptoms, and preventions from COVID-19 are discussed. The steps were taken by the Chinese government to control the COVID-19 has also been discussed. Up to date, details, and data of daily discovered cases, total discovered cases, daily deaths, and total deaths around the world are presented. Moreover, a new statistical distribution is introduced to provide the best characterization of the survival times of the patients affected by the COVID-19 in China. By analyzing the survival times of the COVID-19 patient’s data, it is showed that the new model provides a closer fit to COVID-19 events.

Abstract: Purpose – This study aims to analyze the perception of generations (Baby boomers, X and Y) about the influence of Holistic Helixes of Innovation on Eco-innovation, as well as Eco-innovation on Environmental Practices, Cleaner Production, Social Actions, Regional Development, Smart Cities and Sustainable Development. Theoretical framework – Holistic Helixes of Innovation, Eco-innovation, Environmental Practices, Cleaner Production, Social Actions, Regional Development, Smart Cities and Sustainable Development. Design/methodology/approach – The method used was a descriptive, quantitative research, applied to 1032 individuals residing in Brazil and Portugal, analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. Findings – Holistic Helixes of Innovation strongly influence Eco-innovation. This finding can contribute to the promotion of public policies to encourage integration among stakeholders of holistic innovation helices, such as universities, government, industries, technology parks, spin-offs, incubators, startup, consulting teams, non-governmental organizations, shareholders, suppliers, and customers. The study also shows the positive influence of eco-innovation on environmental practices, cleaner production, social actions, smart cities, sustainable development, with emphasis on regional development. Research, Practical & Social implications – The Eco-innovation precepts are key to trigger positive influences on socio-environmental aspects, smart cities and regional and sustainable development. In this sense, organizations and governments can contribute to society, with greater efficiency, allocating resources in projects that develop socio-environmental innovations. Originality/value – It is relevant for science to know the variables that can help governments and other organizations to develop policies and actions to promote the improvement of people's quality of life from a long-term triple bottom line perspective.
