Flood Damage Assessment: A Case Study In Bakan And Phnom Kravanh Districts, Pursat Province, Cambodia, Chhunleang Rorm Jan 2018

Flood Damage Assessment: A Case Study In Bakan And Phnom Kravanh Districts, Pursat Province, Cambodia, Chhunleang Rorm

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Flood is still a major climate hazard in Pursat province, a potential province for agricultural development in Cambodia. The consequences of this water-related disaster are social problems such as poverty, food insecurity and health problems, which indirectly prolong the growth of the country's economy. To propose a proper flood mitigation measure, flood damage assessment is considered as a fundamental step to implement so that the value of elements at risk is initially evaluated. The objectives of this research are to assess flood damage in agriculture and affected people in Bakan and Phnom Kravanh districts, Pursat province from 2000 to 2014, …

Top Ten Concerns Burdening People With Cancer: Perceptions Of Patients With Cancer And The Nurses Caring For Them, R Endacott, K Mitchell, S Delfont, M Bracey

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Purpose We examined the concerns that nurses perceive patients to have, whether these arecongruent with patients’ concerns and whether they vary according to cancer site. We alsoexamined Distress Thermometer scores according to cancer site.Method A cross-sectional survey design: (i) secondary analysis of an existing Holistic NeedsAssessment (HNA) and Distress Thermometer (DT) dataset was used, (ii) a survey ofspecialist nurse teams to identify their perceptions of patient concerns. Data collectedbetween January 2015 and June 2016 from the HNA database for one NHS Trust in England(n=1233 patients). Specialist nurse teams for breast, colorectal, gynaecology, skin andurology cancers identified the concerns that they …

Importance Of Habitat Selection For Blue Carbon Projects: Doubtful Additionality In A Seagrass Case Study, Anna Lafratta, Oscar Serrano, Pere Masque, Miguel-Angel Mateo, Milena Fernandes, Sam Gaylard, Paul Lavery

Research Datasets

The database compiles published data on biogeochemical characteristics (density, organic carbon, stable carbon isotopes and sediment grain size) of soils underneath seagrass meadows in False Bay, South Australia. Pb-210 concentrations of the first 12-20 cm are included. The dataset compiles data for a total of 12 cores, 80-140 cm-long (5 cores with Pb-210 data, 4 cores with sediment grain size).

Research Datasets

The database compiles published data (in Lafratta et al. 2019, STOTEN) on physical, biogeochemical and chemical characteristics (density, organic carbon, sediment grain size, metals concentration, Pb isotopes ratio) of soils underneath seagrass meadows in Port Pirie, South Australia. Pb-210 concentrations of the first 12 cm are also included. The dataset includes data for a total of two cores, A12 and A15 that are 147 and 96 cm long respectively.
