“…The main consequences of the production activities of offshore oil and gas extraction platforms include changes in the state of the ecosystem, which are often negative, and the gradually escalating seismicity of the region due to the emergence of man-made tensions [7][8][9][10][11]. The first task is resolved by establishing certain environmental parameters, a set of indicators for environmental licensing of offshore oil and gas production, and the introduction of industrial environmental control programs [12][13][14][15].…”

One of the causes of rising seismic tension in a territory is the production activity of mining enterprises, including those in the oil and gas industry. The paper reports the results of modeling and analysis of the tensions of geological structures, which include the contact areas of the continental and oceanic crust, making a slow horizontal movement. The technogenic impact of the production process of an offshore oil and gas production platform and the pressure of the ocean water column are taken into consideration. The differential factorization method is used to investigate the posed boundary value problems. The study assesses the occurring contact stresses and draws conclusions about their dependence on the distance between the plates, the thickness of the water layer, and the frequency of the external load, modeling the intensity of the production process. The results obtained can be used by oil and gas companies to work out scenarios of the production process in a risk-free mode.

Low carbon and digitalization are the general trends of manufacturing upgrading and transformation. Digital technology enables the whole process of green manufacturing and breaks down the spatial barrier. To achieve the dual carbon goals, the pressure-state-response (PSR) model, in which digital technology enables the green innovation of the manufacturing industry, was theoretically analyzed in this study. The measurement system of the digital green innovation (DGI) in the manufacturing industry was constructed according to the PSR framework. An evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process and the deviation maximization technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was constructed to measure the level of DGI. The results of this study from Chinese manufacturing are as follows. (i) The measurement system of the level of DGI in manufacturing industry includes a pressure system, state system and response system. (ii) In the past five years, the comprehensive index of the DGI in manufacturing industry has generally shown a trend of fluctuating rise. There are overall low and unbalanced phenomena in all regions. The gap decreased from 0.1320 to 0.1187, showing a gradually narrowing trend. (iii) Compared with other regions, the composite index of DGI is generally higher in the regions with a better ecological environment in the east and a more developed economy in the north. State parameters are higher than pressure and response parameters in most areas. (iv) Compared with other regions, the composite index of DGI in western and southern regions is lower, and the parameters of pressure, status and response are basically coordinated. (v) The application degree of digital technology, the emission intensity of waste water/exhaust gas of output value of one hundred million yuan and the expenditure intensity of digital technology adopted by enterprises are the key influencing factors of DGI in the manufacturing industry. This study not only proposed an evaluation index system of the digital green innovation level, but also puts forward policy guidance and practical guidance of digital technology to accelerate the green and intelligent manufacturing industry.

In an effort to examine various drivers of land degradation in refugee settlement in Uganda, the study titled 'Impact of Refugee Settlement on Land Degradation in Uganda' was conducted where Pressure-State-Response Framework was used to analyze the current state of land, the main drivers of land degradation, and responses to the identified drivers in Bidi Bidi refugee settlement in Uganda. Findings of the study revealed that the increase in the refugee population has led to a loss of grasslands, croplands and woodlands in the refugee settlement. The most degraded land types were grassland, woodland, and cropland. This was primarily attributed to unending human pressure of cutting trees for firewood or sales, bush-burning, mono cropping, over cultivation and building of infrastructure such as roads and urban centers which exerted pressure on the land leading to land degradation. Responses to these pressures have been implemented by different actors including the government of Uganda, community groups, humanitarian agencies and households. This study recommends implementation of sustainable land management practices, enforcement of government policies and increased awareness on the impacts of human activities on land.
