Climate Change and Extreme Events
Climate Change and Extreme Events uses a multidisciplinary approach to discuss the relationship between climate change-related weather extremes and their impact on human lives.Topics discussed are grouped into four major sections: weather parameters, hydrological responses, mitigation and adaptation, and governance and policies, with each addressed with regard to past, present and future perspectives.Sections give an overview of weather parameters and hydrological responses, presenting current knowledge and a future outlook on air and stream temperatures, precipitation, storms and hurricanes, flooding, and ecosystem responses to these extremes.Other sections cover extreme weather events and discuss the role of the state in policymaking. This book provides a valuable interdisciplinary resource to climate scientists and meteorologists, environmental researchers, and social scientists interested in extreme weather.

News Nerds : Institutional Change in Journalism
The content of news has not changed much over the last century--politicians, celebrities, wars, crime, and sports dominate past and present headlines.Yet, the ways in which journalists both gather and disseminate information have been turned on their head.Gone are the days of editors assigning stories to writers, who then research, inquire, and present what they found in a compelling yet accurate fashion.Today's journalists are coding, programming, running analytics, and developing apps.These "news nerds" are industry professionals working in jobs at the intersection of traditional journalism and technologically intensive positions that were once largely separate.Consequently, news nerds have changed the institutionalized view of journalism, which now accounts for these professionals.News Nerds explores how technological, economic, and societal changes are impacting the institutionalized profession of journalism.Allie Kosterich draws on a mixed-methods research design that blends interviews, social network analysis of LinkedIn data, job postings, and industry publications to make sense of how skills and practices become entrenched throughout the news industry.Taken together, these data reveal the ways in which the profession is evolving to incorporate new technological skillsets and new routines of production. In telling these stories and sharing these findings, Kosterich directly confronts what happens when new skillsets and new ways of understanding and producing news start to collide with the old routines of journalism.News Nerds introduces the notion of institutional augmentation--a process of institutional change that is not restricted to the expected binary outcome of the reinstitutionalization of something new or failure as a fleeting fad.Instead, as in the case of news nerds and journalism, there exists an alternative possibility in the coexistence of supplementary institutions.News Nerds provides a timely and relevant analysis of contemporary journalism and a model for understanding how industries react to the emergence of new career trajectories and new categories of employment.

What are current events on Earth due to climate change?
Some current events on Earth due to climate change include extreme weather events such as hurricanes, heatwaves, and wildfires. These events are becoming more frequent and intense due to rising global temperatures. Additionally, melting ice caps and rising sea levels are leading to coastal flooding and erosion, impacting communities and ecosystems. Climate change is also contributing to shifts in agricultural patterns and the spread of diseases. These events highlight the urgent need for global action to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Patching Development : Information Politics and Social Change in India
Diving into an original and unusually positive case study from India, Patching Development shows how development programs can be designed to work. How can development programs deliver benefits to marginalized citizens in ways that expand their rights and freedoms?Political will and good policy design are critical but often insufficient due to resistance from entrenched local power systems.In Patching Development, Rajesh Veeraraghavan presents an ethnography of one of the largest development programs in the world, the Indian National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), and examines NREGA's implementation in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.He finds that the local system of power is extremely difficult to transform, not because of inertia, but because of coercive counter strategy from actors at the last mile and their ability to exploit information asymmetries.Upper-level NREGA bureaucrats in Andhra Pradesh do not possess the capacity to change the power axis through direct confrontation with local elites, but instead have relied on a continuous series of responses that react to local implementation and information, a process of patching development. "Patching development" is a top-down, fine-grained, iterative socio-technical process that makes local information about implementation visible through technology and enlists participation from marginalized citizens through social audits.These processes are neither neat nor orderly and have led to a contentious sphere where the exercise of power over documents, institutions and technology is intricate, fluid and highly situated.A highly original account with global significance, this book casts new light on the challenges and benefits of using information and technology in novel ways to implement development programs.

Healthcare Infrastructure, Resilience and Climate Change : Preparing for Extreme Weather Events
This book highlights the vulnerability of healthcare buildings in the context of climate change-triggered extreme weather events (EWEs) and the case for mitigation.With a concise discussion on climate change and its consequences in the form of such events, a cost model and equations that register losses and help quantify them are then presented.The model can be used to estimate the significant potential loss that might occur during an EWE and help healthcare facilities prepare for them. The book analyses cases of major EWEs in India over the last two decades and collates the data available into various categories.Through this research the authors have developed a framework which assists healthcare facilities with a detailed calculation of value losses, both tangible and intangible.The framework can be used to assess the impacts on healthcare buildings in terms of disruption of services so that appropriate decisions related to the resilience in healthcare planning can be taken into consideration.Thus, the book is useful for directing planning and design processes aimed at continuity of service and building resilience to perform in the face of natural disaster and extreme weather.The purpose of this book is to prompt facilities planners and healthcare facilities to prepare to respond to EWEs through the planning and design process in a rational manner.Built infrastructure professionals such as architects and engineers, policy makers, and academics with an interest in disasters, risk and climate change will all find this book to be key reading.

Does the current flow change?
Yes, the current flow can change in a circuit. The current flow is determined by the voltage and resistance in the circuit, so any changes in these factors can result in a change in the current flow. For example, if the voltage is increased, the current flow will also increase, and if the resistance is decreased, the current flow will increase as well. Therefore, changes in the circuit components can lead to changes in the current flow.
-
Can the FPS change with graphics driver updates?
Yes, the FPS (frames per second) can change with graphics driver updates. Graphics driver updates can include performance optimizations and bug fixes that can improve the overall performance of the graphics card, leading to potential increases in FPS. Conversely, a graphics driver update could also introduce new bugs or issues that could potentially decrease FPS. It's important to regularly update graphics drivers to ensure optimal performance and stability.
