“…The one-dimensional (1D) model (Beta model) and three flood test models for scenarios of 1% (100 years), 2% (50 years), and 10% (10 years) of probability for hydrometeorological events were analyzed [32]. Hydrological data for Santa Clara city reported in [36,37] were used. After running the HEC-RAS model, the results were exported to the geographic information system (GIS) in the format of the RAS GIS Export file.…”

“…The 1D model represents the terrain as a sequence of cross sections and simulates flow to estimate the average velocity and water depth at each cross section. The selected hydrological model is reported in [38]; more detail and local hydrological data for Santa Clara city were reported in [36,37]. The Beta model included two important aspects for the simulation: (i) the existing frontage lines due to nearby construction along the channel, which caused flow choking; and (ii) the presence of structures such as bridges across the channel.…”

Floods are a natural phenomenon that cause damage to structures and property as well as negatively affect human life. Assessing the extent, speed, power, and depth of flooding has always been a challenge for water resource planners. This research developed a hydraulic simulation model for the Cubanicay and Bélico urban rivers embedded in the city of Santa Clara, Cuba. The methodology was based on a one-dimensional model of the Hydrological Engineering River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) and GIS-based methods. The HEC-RAS model (Beta) and three modeling flood tests for scenarios of 1% (100 years), 2% (50 years), and 10% (10 years) of probability for hydrometeorological events were analyzed. Bank lines, flow path lines, and cross-section cut lines were extracted from Digital Elevation Models. Manning’s roughness coefficients were considered for the channel morphology and soil typology. The flood Beta model results were accurate with a difference of ±0.10 m considering the water footprint found in the field. The results showed that the areas near the control section 2 + 87 presented a high risk of flooding. The flood limit map for urban areas could be an important tool for researchers, planners, and local governments for risk assessment and to develop evacuation plans and flood mitigation strategies in order to reduce human and economic losses during a flood.

O trabalho aborda uma importante aresta no enfrentamento dos problemas ambientais existentes, a formação de perícias jurídicas ambientais sob a ótica das ciências criminológicas, propondo como objetivo aventurar-se na importância da criminologia para realizar a análise, apuração e prevenção de crimes. e assim contribuir para a proteção e conservação da diversidade biológica. Foram utilizados métodos teóricos como: análise-síntese, histórico-lógico, indução-dedução, que permitiram: fazer generalizações sobre posições teóricas e chegar a conclusões, estudar e particularizar as qualidades das normas jurídicas de acordo com os referenciais teóricos da criminologia. Da mesma forma, a análise documental foi utilizada para corroborar o vínculo da criminologia no enfrentamento aos crimes ambientais. O trabalho permitiu demonstrar a importância da criminologia como meio de estudo, tratamento e controle social dos crimes ambientais que afetam especificamente a preservação da diversidade biológica.

Community Education for active aging: Experience in construction from self-development

Population aging is a global concern. Active aging is a must. The projects and actions that promote their development and sustainability must increase. Community education can contribute in a sustained way to active aging, from the conception of sociocultural projects. Villa Clara, a province in the center of Cuba, has very old Popular Councils. The Consejo Popular Hospital-Chamberí is one of them and constitutes the research context. This study aimed to identify the potential for designing a sociocultural community education project for the active aging of the elderly in this Consejo Popular Hospital-Chamberí. This qualitative research used the Methodology for Community Self-Development (MCS), which proposes a fundamental epistemological and practical paradigm to develop educational and transformative processes in communities. It is structured in five stages, of which two have been applied so far. We identified the recognition of the problem, the willingness to participate actively, the existence of available public spaces and the non-existence of a project for this purpose as some of the strengths and weaknesses that will enable the design of a future sociocultural community education project for active aging from self-development.
