Abstract:
During the early twentieth century, administrators at Sherman Institute, a federal Indian boarding school in Riverside, California, sent hundreds of students to work at Fontana Farms, a Southern California mega-ranch. Such work, they argued, would inculcate students with values of thrift and hard work, making them more like white, Protestant Americans. At Fontana, students faced low pay, racial discrimination, and difficult working conditions. Yet, when wage labor proved scarce on home reservations, many engaged the outing system with alacrity. In doing so, they moved beyond the spatial boundaries of the boarding school as historians have imagined it, and they used a program designed to erase native identities in order to carry their cultures forward into the twentieth century.

Abstract:
In times of increasing awareness of limited resources, companies are becoming especially interested in criticality assessments. Based on the existing approaches of ESSENZ (integrated method to assess resource efficiency) and SCARCE (approach is to enhance the assessment of critical resource use at the country level), a method called CS-ESSENZ (company-specific ESSENZ) has been developed to measure the company-specific aspects of criticality and social impact in supply chains for abiotic resources. These comprise 20 categories and corresponding indicators, based on 19 ESSENZ and 25 SCARCE categories. Eleven of these indicators were modified, four were newly developed (e.g., economic importance), and the last five were applied as they are in ESSENZ or SCARCE. CS-ESSENZ was tested using the case study of a smartphone, demonstrating the method’s applicability as well as generating additional information on company-specific improvement potential. The results for supply risk showed that 29 out of 58 ESSENZ hotspots showed high, and 12 showed medium, improvement potential from the company perspective. CS-ESSENZ enables companies to obtain specific information on criticality and social aspects in their supply chains and points out areas for improvement, e.g., with respect to purchasing strategies for cobalt.

Abstract:
The task of drawing up an optimal production plan for an enterprise with limited resources and problem solution of bridging production bottlenecks for only one enterprise are of limited interest. New technical capabilities due to the volume and speed of data transmission and processing, allow you to solve new problems in which the apparatus of the duality theory can be fully used.The authors consider the problem of planning the optimal production company (firm, industry, ministry) volume, which structurally has a certain coordinating (managing) center and a network of enterprises (branches), which can be located in different regions, and are not connected with each other. Each of the branches has its own technological matrix of resource costs for output, resource reserves, expected profit from the sale of each type of product unit.An iterative algorithm for finding production plans for each of the enterprises is proposed, when implementing which the total profit of the company can be increased. The Center finds the optimal production plan for each of the enterprises according to this algorithm and using the classical formula of the optimal production planning problem. Further, for each of them, the Center, solving the problem of resolving production bottlenecks for each of the enterprise, determines the supply volumes of resources scarce. The Center supplies scarce resources to enterprises and forms a new adjusted output plan for each of the enterprises. If it is impossible to supply scarce resources to meet the needs of all enterprises in the company, the options for the most promising planning models are offered, under which the total profit of all enterprises in the company will be the greatest.The implementation of the planning scenarios proposed below becomes real when switching to digital production management methods.

Abstract:
Extant literature on recruitment has focused on the traditional sources of recruitment like company brochures, career fairs, and impact of such sources on intent to join the organization, productivity and turnover intention. The influence of recruitment related information on pre hire outcomes is still scarce and inconclusive. With the advent of technology and access to Internet, company websites have become an important source of recruitment. Apart from company websites, job seekers are now using company independent websites, forums or online communities to gather a more truthful picture and information about the job and organizational attributes. Social media too has become increasingly important medium where the current employees’ share how it is to work with the organization However research on web based recruitment is limited to company websites. Despite the widespread growth and practical use of these new and innovative media very little is known about how these independent sites influence recruitment pre hire outcomes. In this direction the proposed study presents a conceptual framework about how job seekers perceive company independent websites as a tool for providing recruitment communication and their impact on organizational attractiveness using Information Realism, Person-Environment fit framework, Source Credibility framework.

Abstract:
The Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company Ltd (GNFC), a giant fertilizers and chemicals complex, owns the world's largest single stream ammonia and urea plants, and is located in the predominantly backward area of Bharuch District in Gujarat State, India. The company began commercial production on 1st July 1982. GNFC's performance as regards both capacity utilization and pollution control, has been good right from commissioning. Concerning pollution control, the company has adopted a productivity oriented approach which is entirely different from the usual ‘policeman' approach or ‘problem' approach. The company decided to find applications for each of the pollutants. Regarding liquid effluents, the company has successfully concluded a number of research and development projects as a result of which nearly 71% of the total volume of liquid effluent is put to productive use. This has helped the company to reduce the fresh water intake by about 18,000 m3/day (much more than the total volume of fresh water required by the whole of Bharuch city!). The remaining volume (29%) leaving GNFC premises completely conforms to irrigation standards and has been utilized by farmers for the last 5 years. This has resulted in a ‘mini green revolution' in the water-scarce area of Bharuch District. Since the entire effluent is either being recycled within the company or being used by farmers, the company has reached a stage of ‘zero effluent'. The company has also saved more than US$ 500,000 to date, by properly managing liquid effluent.

AbstractThough the individual’s resistance is very often considered a significant barrier to BPM success, the literature on that topic is quite scarce. With the aim to shed light on this topic, we have conducted research of a Croatian insurance company. We examined the impact of individual’s resistance regarding BPM initiative using the theory of reasoned action. Structural equation model was developed using the data collected by the survey among company employees. The results indicate that subjective norms are positively related to the individual’s resistance regarding BPM initiative, while positive initial belief regarding BPM initiative tends to decrease the probability of resistance to change.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper explores the benefits and limitations of a valuation framework as a management tool within a general insurance operation. Two models are presented, one a model of the firm and the other an option valuation model, which together create a robust framework that enables management to analyse how different decisions would affect both the overall firm value and its distribution amongst investors. The model of the firm assists in understanding how key factors such as the momentum of a general insurance portfolio and the allocation of scarce resources affect the value of the firm. The second model, an option framework for corporate liabilities, highlights the critical distinction between the value of the firm and the value of investors' claims on the firm.

A Successful CRM Implementation Project in a Service Company: Case StudyCustomer relationship management - CRM implementations increased rapidly in Slovenia in the last few years, following the trends elsewhere. Studies reporting how the implementation project goes on before, between and after the implementation are scarce. We offer a thorough case study analysis of the CRM implementation with a positive outcome in a Slovene service company. Case study demonstrates that CRM implementation is a holistic and complex concept, which means that it is not merely an integration of new information technology, but everything that happens around the business processes changes. We recommend that the company has already established a process approach and the orientation toward customers. Study showed the need for efficient leadership, acquirement of resources and CRM strategy implementation control; trust to the software solution shouldn't be self-understood. Through implemented analytical CRM company can improve the relationship with customers, achieve larger information sharing between employees and accept better strategic decisions.

Abstract:
When the plant of a company operates at its maximum capacity, or when the people who work in an entity that is dedicated to the provision of services are at the top in the amount of work; the administration of the company must establish priorities, analyzing the profitability by scarce resource of each one of the products and / or services; once the products and/or services have been identified in accordance with said meter, the service that provides the greatest profitability will be manufactured and/or provided, if the installed capacity is available to continue production, the second place will be elaborated, and so on until the scarce resource is exhausted. In the present study, several simulations were carried out, analyzing the results by applying the traditional model of allocation of indirect manufacturing expenses under one or more restrictions, the Theory of restrictions together with the Throughput Accounting; obtaining as a result in all cases that the cost based on activities with multiple restrictions is the one that provides the best possible result in contrast to the other models.

Abstract:
Nowadays business atmosphere is to constantly come up with new improvements, in order to become more competitive, or simply stay competitive.Lean manufacturing rose up few decades ago and is now famous for its radical improvements but also for its difficulty to implement. The aim of this study is to get a better understanding of how can Lean bring such important changes, but also what must be done in order to implement it.In order to solve the problem of this report, it was decided to conduct a quantitative research relying on a case study. The company chosen wants to implement Lean but does not really know how to achieve it, so it is a very good opportunity for this project to collaborate with it and see what can be done to implement Lean manufacturing.The results of this thesis demonstrate the need of implementing a philosophy, a way of thinking, rather than different production tools. People must also be prepared for long implementation, which can take between 5 to 10 years. One of the key factors for this implementation is the involvement and empowerment of workers, who will massively contribute to the change process by removing different kind of waste which slow down the processes.

Abstract:
This paper presents a possible solution for selection of test-cases that should be executed to provide good coverage and quality at UIQ Technologies. It describes how the company can sort and prioritize their test-cases, so that quality is maintained while having controlled amount of test-cases. The idea behind the proposed method is to prioritize the test-cases and execute those that received highest prioritization first and thereby ensuring that all high-risk defects are found first. We have created a model that performs those tasks and we have also executed it on an ongoing project at UIQ Technology to provide data for comparison with the currently used model. We also make a comparison proving that our proposed method is more effective then the current method. We have emphasized adaptability and changeability of the model so that UIQ Technology easily can modify and adapt the model later on.

Abstract:
Cette thèse aborde le problème de la recherche d'images à grande échelle. Pour aborder la recherche d'images à grande échelle, il est nécessaire de coder des images avec des représentations compactes qui peuvent être efficacement utilisées pour comparer des images de manière significative. L'obtention d'une telle représentation compacte peut se faire soit en comprimant des représentations efficaces de grande dimension, soit en apprenant des représentations compactes de bout en bout. Le travail de cette thèse explore et avance dans ces deux directions. Dans notre première contribution, nous étendons les approches de quantification vectorielle structurée telles que la quantification de produit en proposant une représentation somme pondérée de codewords. Nous testons et vérifions les avantages de notre approche pour la recherche approximative du plus proche voisin sur les caractéristiques d'image locales et globales, ce qui est un moyen important d'aborder la recherche d'images à grande échelle. L'apprentissage de la représentation compacte pour la recherche d'images a récemment attiré beaucoup d'attention avec diverses approches basées sur le hachage profond proposées. Dans de telles approches, les réseaux de neurones convolutifs profonds apprennent à coder des images en codes binaires compacts. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une approche d'apprentissage supervisé profond pour la représentation binaire structurée qui rappelle une approche de quantification vectorielle structurée telle que PQ. Notre approche bénéficie de la recherche asymétrique par rapport aux approches de hachage profond et apporte une nette amélioration de la précision de la recherche au même débit binaire. L'index inversé est une autre partie importante du système de recherche à grande échelle en dehors de la représentation compacte. À cette fin, nous étendons nos idées pour l'apprentissage de la représentation compacte supervisée pour la construction d'index inversés. Dans ce travail, nous abordons l'indexation inversée avec un apprentissage approfondi supervisé et essayons d'unifier l'apprentissage de l'indice inversé et de la représentation compacte. Nous évaluons minutieusement toutes les méthodes proposées sur divers ensembles de données accessibles au public. Nos méthodes surpassent ou sont compétitives avec l'état de l'art
This thesis addresses the problem of large-scale image search. To tackle image search at large scale, it is required to encode images with compact representations which can be efficiently employed to compare images meaningfully. Obtaining such compact representation can be done either by compressing effective high dimensional representations or by learning compact representations in an end-to-end manner. The work in this thesis explores and advances in both of these directions. In our first contribution, we extend structured vector quantization approaches such as Product Quantization by proposing a weighted codeword sum representation. We test and verify the benefits of our approach for approximate nearest neighbor search on local and global image features which is an important way to approach large scale image search. Learning compact representation for image search recently got a lot of attention with various deep hashing based approaches being proposed. In such approaches, deep convolutional neural networks are learned to encode images into compact binary codes. In this thesis we propose a deep supervised learning approach for structured binary representation which is a reminiscent of structured vector quantization approaches such as PQ. Our approach benefits from asymmetric search over deep hashing approaches and gives a clear improvement for search accuracy at the same bit-rate. Inverted index is another important part of large scale search system apart from the compact representation. To this end, we extend our ideas for supervised compact representation learning for building inverted indexes. In this work we approach inverted indexing with supervised deep learning and make an attempt to unify the learning of inverted index and compact representation. We thoroughly evaluate all the proposed methods on various publicly available datasets. Our methods either outperform, or are competitive with the state-of-the-art

Abstract:
Lean software development is the result of adapting lean principles from the manufacturing context to the software development domain. Recently, the various applications of lean software development have been studied but more empirical evidence is needed, especially from the practitioners’ point of view. Firstly, this thesis provides answers for the understanding of lean software development from the practitioners’ point of view. Secondly, this thesis provides answers on the opportunities and barriers in applying the lean software development. In order to study this, a case study was conducted in a large-scale software intensive company. Focus groups were conducted to collect qualitative data. Studying the understanding of lean software development showed that four of the seven lean software development principles were identifiable from the discussion in the focus group sessions. The difference between agile and lean was recognized. The opportunities in achieving a culture of continuous improvement and involving people in the transformation were found and can be also identified from the existing research. Some new opportunities were also identified, such as using informal code-reviews as a practice in development and focusing improvements on the activities that consume the most time in the day-to-day work. The barriers that were found, such as avoiding sub-optimization, facilitation of improvement and having time to experiment, can also be identified from the existing research. Some of the barriers not identifiable from the existing research were the lack of quality thinking and varying standards in gate keeping. The findings of this study were presented in the case company with positive feedback and were discussed to be included into future improvement initiatives. This study also identified the power of the focus group method as a tool that could be used to drive improvement work. Suggested directions for future research include studying lean software development in a similar case study and taking a look at the possibilities of using focus group method as a tool for driving improvement initiatives in software development companies.

Abstract:
Threat modeling is a growing field in cyber security. As computer systems grow larger and more complicated, the understanding of how to model and protect these systems becomes ever more important. Threat modeling is a method well suited for this task. The two primary motivations behind this research is to strengthen the cyber security at Company X and help the development of threat modeling, which in turn can help strengthen the field of cyber security. The main question that is investigated is what results can be achieved from the KTH Threat Modeling Method applied to specific systems used by Company X. This question is answered by implementing the method on the specified systems. The experience and the result of the implementation of the model are then used to evaluate the threat model method. The produced model implies that the biggest risk in the investigated systems are the Connected Smoke Sensor and the Smart Meter which measures water and electricity usage. Some of the given recommendations are to create protections against SQL-injection by keeping the systems up to date and to validate input. The main impression from implementing the threat model method on Company X is that the method is easy to use, learn and to understand. Another result was that the more information one has about the systems used in the IT-infrastructure being investigated, the more precise the threat model can become. The method is ideally used with focus on pure, interconnected software implementations, rather than modeling several non-connected systems in a single iteration of the method, which is what this report does. In order to teach and spread the method easier, a comprehensive written source such as a book could be utilized. To improve the method itself, the inclusion of automated attack simulation and modeling tools is suggested. Lastly, the KTH Threat Modeling Method is an iterative process, which can and should be improved by continuously iterating over the model going more in depth by every step. The body of work presented in this report is a first iteration of this ongoing process. The findings of this report point to the fact that while the KTH threat modeling method is already a mature method fully able to produce meaningful threat modeling results, there are still aspects that could be improved or added which would increase the overall strength of the method.
Hotmodellering är ett växande område inom cybersäkerhet. När datorsystem växer och blir mer komplicerade, så blir kunskapen om hur man modellerar och skyddar systemen allt viktigare. Hotmodellering är ett verktyg väl anpassat till denna uppgift. I den här rapporten ligger fokuset på att höja cybersäkerheten på Företag X och att bidra till utvecklingen av hotmodellering, vilket i sig bidrar till att stärka forskningen kring cybersäkerhet. Den huvudsakliga frågan som undersöks är vilka resultat som kan uppnås med en implementation av KTH Threat Modeling Method på specifika system hos Företag X. Frågan besvaras genom att implementera metoden på de specificerade systemen. Därefter används erfarenheten av utvecklingen och det framtagna resultatet till att evaluera hotmodellerings metoden. Den framtagna modellen pekar på att den största risken i de undersökta systemen hos Företag X är deras internetanslutna rökdetektorer och smarta mätare som mäter vatten- och elförbrukning. De rekommendationer som ges är bland annat att skydda sig mot SQL-injektionerna genom att hålla systemen uppdaterade och att validera indata. De huvudsakliga intrycken som erhölls från att implementera hotmodelleringsmetoden på Företag X är att metoden är lätt att använda, lära sig, och förstå. Ett annat resultat är att ju mer information hotmodelleraren har kring systemen som utforskas, desto mer exakt kan hotmodellen bli. Metoden är idealiskt lämpad för renodlad, sammansluten mjukvara, snarare än att modellera flera icke-sammanslutna system i en och samma iteration av metoden, vilket är vad denna rapport gör. För att förenkla utlärningsprocessen av metoden så kan en omfattande skriven resurs som exempelvis en bok vara till god hjälp. För att förbättra själva metoden föreslås integration av automatiserade attacksimulerings- och modelleringsverktyg. The KTH Threat Modeling Method är en iterativ process. Modellen kan och bör göras bättre genom att kontinuerligt iterera över arbetet flera gånger, där modellens detaljrikhet ökas för varje iteration. Det som presenteras i denna rapport är första iterationen av denna process. Innebörden av resultaten från denna rapport visar att även om hotmodelleringsmetoden redan är en mogen metod som kan producera meningsfulla hotmodelleringsresultat, finns det fortfarande vissa bitar som kan förbättras eller läggas till, vilket enligt författarna skulle öka metodens styrka i allmänhet.

Abstract:
A simple two scale compactification scheme for the E(8) x E(8) heterotic string is studied. The internal space used is a direct product of two compact spaces, each with its own length scale. Compactification on the smaller 4-dimensional (4d) manifold is carried out to obtain 6d theories with simple supersymmetry (SUSY). Assuming the background torsion vanishes, we show that this manifold must be K3. Compactification on K3 is studied in detail. Also analyzed are the two possible torsion-free compactifications on the orbifold K3$ sp prime$ (the limit of the manifold K3). The compactification from 6d to 4d on the larger scale 2d manifold results in Grand Unified Theories (GUT's) with broken SUSY. We show that it is not possible to generate a realistic theory using our scheme. Strings exclude what is conceivable from the perspective of point field theories: getting a realistic GUT from a 6d theory with simple SUSY.

Abstract:
Through this case study, we sought to analyze a U.S. based insurance company’s implementation of agile methodologies in a remote digital environment in comparison to using agile in a typical physical environment work setting. We wanted to gain an in-depth perception through questioning if this company changed how they use agile methodologies during the COVID-19 pandemic, what the benefits and drawbacks of using agile methodologies are in a remote digital environment, if individual project roles were impacted with remote use of agile methodologies, and what is the reasoning of the company regarding the use of agile methodologies remotely after the pandemic? A semi-structured interview was done with six respondents that work with agile methodologies in an IT Division at a large scale U.S. insurance company to gain insight into our questions through a qualitative study. According to the respondents, they were satisfied with how the company implemented agile methodologies remotely, but some felt it was a wake-up call that agile methodologies were not the best methodology that their project team could employ. These results can be used for future organizations not just to see how they can better implement agile methodologies in a remote setting and how they can better use agile methodologies to foster better communication, Knowledge Transfer, and Competence Development with their employees.

Abstract:
Born in Philadelphia in 1905, Catherine Littlefield first learns dancing from her mother, Caroline (called Mommie), who was an expert pianist, and from a local dancing master, C. Ellwood Carpenter. As a teenager, Catherine becomes a Ziegfeld dancer and takes lessons from Luigi Albertieri in New York. She returns home in 1925 to help Mommie teach at the Littlefield School (among her students is Zelda Fitzgerald) and stage dances for women’s musical clubs and opera companies. William Goldman hires Catherine to produce routines in commercial theaters throughout Philadelphia and becomes her boyfriend. Catherine, Mommie, and Catherine’s sister, Dorothie, travel to Paris so the sisters can study ballet with Lubov Egorova. They become friendly with George Balanchine in Paris and help him establish his first American school and company when he comes to the United States in 1933. Catherine marries wealthy Philadelphia attorney Philip Leidy and founds her Philadelphia Ballet Company in 1935. She choreographs—and her company presents—the first full-length, full-scale production of Sleeping Beauty in the United States as well as popular ballet Americana works such as Barn Dance and Terminal. Her company’s European tour in 1937 is the first ever by an American classical ballet troupe. Catherine loses some of her protégées to the newly formed Ballet Theatre and disbands her company after the United States enters World War II; she then choreographs Broadway musicals, Sonja Henie’s Hollywood Ice Revues, and Jimmy Durante’s NBC television show before dying in 1951 at age forty-six.

Full text
Abstract:
Obtaining reliable estimates of aerodynamic roughness is necessary to interpret and accurately predict aeolian sediment transport dynamics. However, inherent uncertainties in field measurements and models of surface aerodynamic properties continue to undermine aeolian research, monitoring, and dust modeling. A new relation between aerodynamic shelter and land surface shadow has been established at the wind tunnel scale, enabling the potential for estimates of wind erosion and dust emission to be obtained across scales from albedo data. Here, we compare estimates of wind friction velocity (u*) derived from traditional methods (wind speed profiles) with those derived from the albedo model at two separate scales using bare soil patch (via net radiometers) and landscape (via MODIS 500 m) datasets. Results show that profile-derived estimates of u* are highly variable in anisotropic surface roughness due to changes in wind direction and fetch. Wind speed profiles poorly estimate soil surface (bed) wind friction velocities necessary for aeolian sediment transport research and modeling. Albedo-based estimates of u* at both scales have small variability because the estimate is integrated over a defined, fixed area and resolves the partition of wind momentum be-tween roughness elements and the soil surface. We demonstrate that the wind tunnel-based calibration of albedo for predicting wind friction velocities at the soil surface (us*) is applicable across scales. The albedo-based approach enables consistent and reliable drag partition correction across scales for model and field estimates of us* necessary for wind erosion and dust emission modeling.

Full text
Abstract:
Between 2014 and 2020 over 1.8 million refugees fled from Venezuela to Colombia as a result of a humanitarian crisis, many of them without a regular migratory status. We study the short- to medium-term labor market impacts in Colombia of the Permiso Temporal de Permanencia program, the largest migratory amnesty program offered to undocumented migrants in a developing country in modern history. The program granted regular migratory status and work permits to nearly half a million undocumented Venezuelan migrants in Colombia in August 2018. To identify the effects of the program, we match confidential administrative data on the location of undocumented migrants with department-monthly data from household surveys and compare labor outcomes in departments that were granted different average time windows to register for the amnesty online, before and after the program roll-out. We are only able to distinguish negative albeit negligible effects of the program on the formal employment of Colombian workers. These effects are predominantly concentrated in highly educated and in female workers.

Alviarez, Vanessa, Javier Cravino, and Natalia Ramondo. Firm-Embedded Productivity and Cross-Country Income Differences. Inter-American Development Bank, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003029.

Full text
Abstract:
We measure the contribution of firm-embedded productivity to cross-country income differences. By firm-embedded productivity we refer to the components of productivity that differ across firms and that can be transferred internationally, such as blueprints, management practices, and intangible capital. Our approach relies on micro-level data on the cross-border operations of multinational enterprises (MNEs). We compare the market shares of the exact same MNE in different countries and document that they are about four times larger in developing than in high-income coun-tries. This finding indicates that MNEs face less competition in less-developed coun-tries, suggesting that firm-embedded productivity in those countries is scarce. We propose and implement a new measure of firm-embedded productivity based on this observation. We find a strong positive correlation between our measure and output per worker across countries. In our sample, differences in firm-embedded productivity account for roughly a third of the cross-country variance in output per worker.

Full text
Abstract:
Herbicide selection is key to efficiently managing nuisance vegetation in our nation’s waterways. After selecting the active ingredient, there still remains multiple proprietary and generic products to choose from. Recent small-scale research has been conducted to compare the efficacy of these herbicides against floating and emergent species. Therefore, a series of mesocosm and growth chamber trials were conducted to evaluate subsurface applications of the following herbicides against submersed plants: diquat versus coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum L.), hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle), southern naiad (Najas guadalupensis (Sprengel) Magnus), and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.); flumioxazin versus coontail, hydrilla, and Eurasian watermilfoil; and triclopyr against Eurasian watermilfoil. All active ingredients were applied at concentrations commonly used to manage these species in public waters. Visually, all herbicides within a particular active ingredient performed similarly with regard to the onset and severity of injury symptoms throughout the trials. All trials, except diquat versus Eurasian watermilfoil, resulted in no differences in efficacy among the 14 proprietary and generic herbicides tested, and all herbicides provided 43%–100% control, regardless of active ingredient and trial. Under mesocosm and growth chamber conditions, the majority of the generic and proprietary herbicides evaluated against submersed plants provided similar control.

Lucas, Brian. Urban Flood Risks, Impacts, and Management in Nigeria. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), January 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.018.

Full text
Abstract:
This summary reviews evidence on the urban flooding impact, risk factors, and management and mitigation measures in Lagos and other cities in Nigeria. Flooding is a common problem every year in many cities across Nigeria, but the impacts of flooding are poorly documented. There is no consistent set of statistics at a national or sub-national level that can be used to compare the impacts of flooding across cities, and reports that focus on particular flood events are often incomplete. The literature notes the principal factors contributing to flood risk including uncontrolled urban growth, inadequate and poorly-maintained drainage systems, solid waste management practices, weakness in institutional capacity and coordination, and warning systems and public awareness. The evidence base for flood impacts, risks, and mitigation efforts at the city level in Nigeria is limited, and much of the information available is low quality, inconsistent, or outdated. Many rely on surveys of city residents rather than objective empirical data, and some of these surveys appear to be poorly designed. A significant number of the academic publications available have been published in non-mainstream journals without the usual level of academic peer review. Recent information is scarce, and a significant amount of the available evidence dates from 2011 and 2012, which coincides with an episode of nationwide flooding that was among the worst in Nigeria’s history.
