“…Risk management system represents a challenge for such academics, researchers and development planners who have a lack of knowledge on farmers' attitudes towards risk mitigation [3,30]. It is important to understand risk information at the local farm level before developing an effective policy to assist farmers.…”

Rice farmers in Bangladesh face various environmental, climatic and market price-related risks. Choices of various operational tactics used for farm management are mostly influenced by farmers' risk perception and attitude. This study intends to discover the influencing factors of a farmer on the risk associated with environmental and climatic issues. This study quantifies the risk perceptions of rice farmers, their perceived behavior, and various associated underlying factors using a crosssectional dataset on 600 rice farmers from three major rice-growing districts in Bangladesh. Equally, Likely Certainty Equivalent approach has been used to rank the farmers' perceptions of three major risk dimensions such as the risk of market price fluctuation, the risk from various natural hazards, and risk of pest and disease. Probit regression is also used to discern the underlying factors affecting risk attitudes and perceptions. The results show that farmers' age, total family income, distance from the farm gate to the main market, savings, agricultural credit, off-farm income, access to information, and frequent contact with extension officers are significant determinants that affect farmers' risk attitudes and perceptions. This study provides in-depth insights for farmers, extension service providers, and agricultural planners on the real situation of farmers in developing countries, particularly those where crop insurance is still uncommon.

“…The impact of climate change on outflows and changes in flows can be effectively simulated using a spatial weather generator SWGEN in combination with a hydrological outflow and fall model (MIKE SHE Ed. 2008) [20,21,23]. According to climate change scenarios, simulations of flows in the river basin can be made with a time horizon of up to 60-80 years.…”

“…The described procedure is presented in Figure 1 and has been used many times to simulate the maximum flows [1,2,3,4]. Finally, the probability distributions of the minimum flows were adjusted and analyzed based on literature analysis [1][2][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

In this paper a new simulations of minimum daily flow for Kaczawa River a left side tributary of the Odra River in south-west Poland are presented. Generated data were made based on very long series of 35 years of observed data and 24 sites of meteorological stations for south-west Poland gathered from the the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management National Research Institute (IMGW). For the data generation the spatial weather generator SWGEN producing the multisite daily time series was applied. Data were generated for the present (the year 2000 are used as a background) as well for future climate condition for 2060 and 2080 according Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios. The flow simulation in the river catchment is made using MIKE SHE hydrological model. Simulations are done for 2060 and 2080. The large number of new simulated series determined by the lead time, two climate change scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP6.0), and number of generated years (1000 for each case) is equal to 5000 for a single station. Finally, Lognormal Pdf function for the minimum flow is presented as well probability of exceedance of minimum values.

“…The global mean surface temperature (GMST) in 2021 is 1.11ºC higher than the pre-industrial baseline, making 2021 a scarce hot year in global record [1]. Global warming will cause a global redistribution of precipitation, melting of glaciers and permafrost, and rising sea levels, which endanger the balance of natural ecosystems, affect human health, and even threaten human survival [2][3][4]. In the early years, while China's economy was increasing, resource wastage and environmental pollution also intensified, and the contradiction between development and environmental pollution became increasingly prominent [5][6].…”

The architectural design and the policies of energy-saving and emission-reduction proposed by the state are mutually influenced. In this case, the architecture major in colleges and universities should pay more attention to the training of talents under the policy to meet society's need for talent. Universities are essential places for the personnel cultivation of architecture students, and it is necessary to understand the perceptions of such students about energy-saving and emission reduction in green building construction in China. Regarding their major (sophomore to graduate architecture students at Anhui Polytechnic University) and related courses about green buildings, this study assessed and compared students' opinions about the energy-saving and emission reduction of green buildings.To achieve the research goals, 140 questionnaires were conducted among the students as mentioned above. The study results showed that most respondents believed it is essential to promote energysaving and emission reduction of green buildings in the context of high energy consumption in China's buildings. Students thought that building energy-saving design and technology, building materials courses, and experimental teaching methods were more important in student teaching. It was also clear from the research that students spend more time in the dormitory and library, thus the energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies can focus on these building types. Based on the Chi-square test, the influence of gender and grade on the results of some questions was further investigated.
