PROBLEMS OF COGNITIVE STRATEGIES AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION OF TEACHERS IN MODERN EDUCATION

Rashid Jabbarov et al.

Summary: This article examines the manifestations of cognitive strategies and emotional regulation among teachers. The study involves 64 teachers with different academic backgrounds and teaching at different faculties. The findings suggest that age plays a role in shaping cognitive strategies and emotional self-regulation of teachers. Cognitive strategies and expressive suppression of emotions are associated with different qualities of teachers. Adequate self-regulation of emotion is more significantly related to cognitive strategy than expressive suppression. The study also reveals correlations between cognitive reappraisal and personality traits, as well as emotional intelligence and resilience among teachers.

Rapid intensification of the emerging southwestern North American megadrought in 2020-2021

A. Park Williams et al.

Summary: Southwestern North America has been experiencing a megadrought since 2000, with lower precipitation and higher temperatures. This drought, which spans from 2000 to 2021, is the driest 22-year period since 800 AD, with 19% of the severity in 2021 attributed to climate change. The drought severity in southwestern North America from 2000 to 2018 exceeded that of a megadrought in the late-1500s. Following the exceptional drought severity in 2021, which is 19% attributable to anthropogenic climate trends, the period from 2000 to 2021 is the driest 22-year period since at least 800 AD, and it is likely to persist through 2022, matching the duration of the late-1500s megadrought.

Infrastructure inequality is a characteristic of urbanization

Bhartendu Pandey et al.

Summary: This paper examines inequalities in infrastructure distribution in the context of urbanization, focusing on India and South Africa. The study finds that South Africa exhibits greater infrastructure inequalities compared to India, and urban inequalities are more prevalent than rural inequalities. Moreover, the analysis shows that urban inequalities in infrastructure provisioning and availability increase as the spatial scale expands. Findings also indicate that India experiences greater concentration of inequalities at coarse spatial scales. Additionally, the paper reveals the correlation between urban infrastructure inequalities and urbanization levels in terms of demographics, economy, and infrastructure development.

Potential impacts of prescribed fire smoke on public health and socially vulnerable populations in a Southeastern US state

Sadia Afrin et al.

Summary: Prescribed fire is a vital tool for wildfire risk mitigation and ecosystem restoration in the Southeastern United States, but it is also a major source of atmospheric emissions. This study assesses the public health impacts of prescribed burning in Georgia, finding that areas with intense burning activity have higher levels of social vulnerability and potential health risks associated with smoke pollution. The study highlights the need for greater attention to the air quality impacts of prescribed burning in the Southeastern U.S. and communities most affected by fire-related smoke.

Assessing the social vulnerability of small-scale farmer's to drought in uMsinga, KwaZulu-Natal

S. J. Lottering et al.

Summary: This study assessed social vulnerability among small-scale farmers and rural communities in the uMsinga community in South Africa using a modified social vulnerability index. Results showed high social vulnerability in areas such as gender, education level, preparedness strategies, social dependence, access to early warning systems, and external support. However, social networks and marital status were found to contribute positively to resilience to drought. The study also highlighted the need for government involvement in drought management and risk reduction at the local level to enhance the adaptive capacity of small-scale farmers.

Critical Aquifer Overdraft Accelerates Degradation of Groundwater Quality in California's Central Valley During Drought

Zeno F. Levy et al.

Summary: This study found that long-term groundwater-level decline and water-quality degradation in California's Central Valley accelerate during drought periods and may briefly reverse during wetter periods. This suggests a direct linkage between climate, aquifer pumpage, and groundwater quality on a regional scale.

Vulnerability to Water Shortage Under Current and Future Water Supply-Demand Conditions Across US River Basins

Hadi Heidari et al.

Summary: Climate change, population growth, and urbanization can alter the water supply-demand balance and lead to shifts in water shortage characteristics at different timescales. This study proposes an approach to improve the vulnerability assessments of U.S. river basins to water shortage by characterizing shifts in intensity, duration, and frequency of water shortage events from the current to future periods. The findings suggest that under the driest future climate projection, increased intensity and frequency of water shortage events are likely to occur in certain regions, while other regions may experience shifts in the frequency of water shortage events.

The practical use of social vulnerability indicators in disaster management

Erik Wood et al.

Summary: As climate change intensifies disasters globally, the allocation of resources for mitigation and response needs to be more efficient and equitable. This study questions the practical value of popular social vulnerability indices and suggests that considering poverty as a common variable can quickly reveal similar vulnerabilities in communities to costly assessments. Results from a national survey of emergency managers indicate that these indicator models may be underused nationally, with more effectiveness found in higher income areas.
