La aceleración de la variabilidad del cambio climático es una problemática global que afecta a todos diferenciadamente; sus efectos son evidentes en Nicaragua, principalmente en la Costa Caribe, y comenzarán a repercutir en muchos aspectos de la vida. Los pueblos originarios y comunidades étnicas de la región afrontan vulnerabilidades y riesgos particulares frente a las amenazas provocadas por el cambio climático. Las causas y consecuencias son entendidas de diversas maneras, dependiendo de la visión de naturaleza que tienen las diversas culturas, que van desde percepciones en los cambios del entorno para predecir fluctuaciones del tiempo y clima, hasta descripciones y documentación con base oral de las variaciones en los patrones climáticos.

Of significant concern is the impact of both natural conditions and human activities on these coastal ecosystems. The paper underscores the need for effective management strategies to mitigate the detrimental consequences of human intervention and to safeguard the region's biodiversity. The study underscores the importance of sustainable practices and eco-friendly tourism as part of responsible management approaches to maintain the appeal and ecological integrity of the Black Sea coast. In conclusion, the paper's insights into the geobotanical aspects of the Black Sea coast offer valuable guidance for management strategies that can harmonize human activities with the protection and restoration of these vital coastal ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":40344,"journal":{"name":"Nexo Revista Cientifica","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135041149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the pressure drop of acetone and water had values of 1,622.36 Pa and 3,020.46 Pa, respectively.

Lightness, effect in reducing forces caused by earthquakes, ease of implementation, low thermal coefficient, fire resistance and sound insulation are among the undeniable advantages of this product. The use of this concrete is very effective in optimizing fuel and energy consumption, and its high compressive strength is considered an important feature, to the extent that it has been recognized as a desirable and suitable product in the construction industry. Obviously, with the growth of demand increasingly, using traditional methods and materials for housing production in Iran is not very effective. Compilation of criteria for the design and implementation of a gravity-bearing and lateral structural system made of AAC autoclaved aerated concrete products (including reinforced blocks and panels) The structure is made based on valid international regulations and considering Iran's seismic standards as follows. Roof and floor design using reinforced AAC roof panels and the combination of AAC roof blocks and regular concrete in place reinforced with steel reinforcements after examining the principles and foundations and modeling based on logical engineering principles and assumptions to compare the results and the outputs of the software have paid. Based on the available results, we can see the effect of the number of floors, plan and height of the floor on the behavior of the structure.

Se elaboraron especímenes cúbicos y cilíndricos, los cuales fueron curados en húmedo y ensayados para conocer su resistencia a la compresión a los 28 días. Los resultados indican que la naturaleza de los agregados, así como el contenido de espuma en las mezclas influyó en sus densidades. Se observó que el porcentaje de material cementante usado es directamente proporcional a su resistencia final.
