Integrating environmental and LULC drivers of groundwater droughts in groundwater-dependent ecosystems: a machine learning (XGBoost)-SEM analysis with ecosystem implications by Kawawa Banda, Christopher Shilengwe, Imasiku Nyambe

“…Methods Influencing factors, which include meterological drought indicators (such as Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, SPEI), teleconnection factors (ENSO, PDO and AMO), and anthropogenic factors (land use and land cover (LULC)), were investigated and quantitatively compared based on Spearman correlation analysis and a decision tree machine learning model (extreme gradient boosting, XGBoost). Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was then used to explain latent (important) factors in the nexus of climate variability—LULC dynamics to groundwater response. …”

Methodological foundations for the study of territorial public self-government by Evgeniy V. Bulakh

“…This is due to the lack of a clear theoretical understanding of the content of various forms of local self-government (except for administrative, with the participation of local authorities); the problem of the practical implementation of the right of citizens to directly resolve issues of local importance requires new scientific data. Using methods of generalization, systemic, structural-functional, legal and comparative analysis, this form of self-organization can be considered as the main resource for revitalizing municipal public-power relations and a tool for implementing the expected local self-government reforms. …”
