Seasonal climate variability determines crop productivity in Ethiopia, where rainfed smallholder farming systems dominate in the agriculture production. Under such conditions, a functional and granular spatial yield forecasting system could provide risk management options for farmers and agricultural and policy experts, leading to greater economic ...
The development of knowledge graphs about water resources as a tool for studying the sustainable development of a region is currently an urgent task, because the growing deterioration of the state of water bodies affects the ecology, economy, and health of the population of the region. This study presents a new ontological approach to water resourc...
In today’s intrinsically connected world, the Water–Food–Energy–Climate Nexus (WFEC Nexus) concept provides a starting point for informed and transparent decision-making based on the trade-offs and synergies between different sectors, including aquatic ecosystems, food security, energy production, and climate neutrality. The WFEC Nexus approach is ...

Mining causes intense socio-environmental impacts and threatens Indigenous peoples in Brazil, exposing them to violence, contagious diseases, mercury contamination, and loss of livelihoods. Recent collaborative efforts by society achieved positive advances against mining in Indigenous Lands (ILs). Notably, the National Mining Agency (ANM) has revok...
Individuals with vision impairment (VI) are less physically active than their sighted peers, heightening their risk of chronic illness. This study aimed to explore real and perceived barriers and promoters of an active lifestyle among adults with VI. We used mixed-methods, including a quantitative analysis of spatial data and a qualitative analysis...
Razvoj medicine in tehnologije je podaljšal življenjsko dobo posameznika. Manjša rodnost in daljša življenjska doba posameznika pa sta privedli do naraščanja deleža starejših. To bo v prihodnosti imelo velike posledice za družbo, kot so pomanjkanje delovne sile, večji zdravstveni stroški in pritisk na socialnovarstvene sisteme. Za oskrbo starejših ...
Most methods to find spatial co-location patterns (subsets of object features that are geographically close to one another) employ standard proximity measures (e.g. Euclidean distance). But for some applications, these measures do not work well since the spatial structure is not considered. This article proposes CSS-Miner, a co-location pattern min...
Numerous real-life smart city application scenarios require joint analytics on unified views of georeferenced mobility data with environment contextual data including pollution and meteorological data. particularly, future urban planning requires restricting vehicle access to specific areas of a city to reduce the adverse effect of their engine com...
Since the 1960s, numerous attempts at building up standards and repositories were made in archaeology. All projects tended to collect as much data as possible and several independent databases existed with the same themes. The pitfalls of this centralised approach were addressed in the early 2000s with the development of the semantic web, ontologie...
The Climate Security Observatory (CSO) is an online platform for stakeholder decision-making that provides access to a range of global analyses related to climate and security. The CSO is based on an integrated climate security framework that helps understand the complexity of the climate-security interface. As part of the CSO methods paper series,...
