“…Many types of disasters can cause population displacement, including nuclear accidents (Pascucci-Cahen, 2014;Silva et al, 2014;Bier et al, 2014), terrorism (e.g., Buddemeier et al, 2011), natural disasters such as earthquakes (Schulz, 2015) and hurricanes (Richardson et al, 2008;Goldman and Coussens, 2007), and coastal flooding due to climate change (Busby, 2007;Melillo et al, 2014;Udvardy and Winkelman, 2014). Oliver-Smith (2018) notes in particular that "the global intensification and frequency of climate-related hazards have increased both the incidence and the likelihood of large-scale population dislocations in the near future."…”

Sea-level rise due to climate change is clearly an important problem.  This paper uses game theory in conjunction with discounting to explore strategies by which governments might encourage pre-disaster relocation by residents living in areas at high risk of flooding due to sea-level rise.  We find that offerin a subsiy (e.g., a partial buyout) can be effective if government has a significantly lower discount rate than residents.  We also present extensions to our model, exploring the use of a fixed annual benefit after relocation (instead of a one-time subsidy), and hyprbolic instead of standard exponential discounting.  Numerical sensitivity analysis elucidates many important factors affecting the timing of anticipatory relocation, since for example relocating too soon may be costly to both residents and government if floodig risk is increasing only gradually.  This conceptual model also provides a foundation for future studies that quantify the model with more realistic parameter values (e.g., realistic estimates of flooding probabilities), and alternative behavioral models or resident decision making.

“…The third research topic [2] is on the experiment of cesium compound behavior under high pressure and high temperature conditions, which aims to understand the behavior of cesium compound from experiment. The last research topic [3,4] is on the consideration of accident consequence assessment methodology which can cover the overall consequences for people and the environment, in order to be able to consider consequences other than health effects due to radiation exposure which was basically the only thing considered in preceding studies.…”

Evaluation of aerosol deposition in the containment vessel is an important step for the assessment of radioactive material release to the environment. ART Mod 2 is a calculation code that is used for evaluation of aerosol deposition in the containment vessel. The authors modified aerosol deposition models of ART Mod 2, namely, gravitational settling model, Brownian diffusion model, diffusiophoresis model, and thermophoresis model in order to increase potential of capturing the deposition phenomena. This study aims to compare the simulated results of modified ART Mod 2 with aerosol deposition of cesium compounds in the containment vessel of Phébus FPT3 experiment, in order to validate modified ART Mod 2 code. It is found that aerosol deposition using modified ART Mod 2 agrees with Phébus FPT3. Prediction of Brownian diffusion is significantly improved due to the consideration of turbulent damping process. Cesium mass flow rate and aerosol size are factors that can significantly influence the uncertainty of the results. When conditions of single volumes are carefully selected to match those of the Phébus FPT3 experiment, modified ART Mod 2 can predict aerosol deposition in Phébus FPT3 with relative accuracy.

“…This atmosphere drives several negative effects to the work environment involving high cost of workmen's compensation insurance, high medical cost and high cost of administration, property damage, insurance premium, suffering, and tarnished image of the organization, owner and negative effect to the employees (24). Generally, statistic record shows the occupational accident and diseases level in Malaysia still far beyond the target, especially in the most risky industry like SME (4).…”

The statistic on occupational safety and health has received considerable attention in the SME industry regarding to the vital role of the SME in the Malaysian economy to become a developed country by the year 2020. However, the official statistic specific on SME related occupational safety and health still una-vailable. Thus, the secondary data related to estimation statistic refer to the Department of Statistic (DOS) since 2001 until 2012 were used. Estimation related statistic is adapted from the Global Estimates of Occupational Accidents and Work-related Illnesses 2014. The total number of occupational accident and fatalities average high within ten years. Whereas a number of the accident decrease during 2002 to 2007 with the involvement of 85926 to 56339 cases, nevertheless, four years later trend drastically in-creased. Approximately ten thousand fatal occupational related diseases as 2014. In addition, the cost of compensation claims related occupational accident report increase in 2012 as well as disease and sur-vival recipient. Overall cost of occupational accident increase every year. Presently, this study provided useful hints of implication of ignoring safety to encourage improvement of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), enhance effectiveness of company operational cost, and stimulate prevention at the SME level substantially great approach to the Malaysian economic development.
