Risk of Flooding Mapped Around the World
Devastating floods across Pakistan this summer have resulted in more than 1,400 lives lost and one-third of the country being under water.
This raises the question: which nations and their populations are the most vulnerable to the risk of flooding around the world?
Using data from a recent study published in Nature, this graphic maps flood risk around the world, highlighting the 1.81 billion people directly exposed to 1-in-100 year floods. The methodology takes into account potential risks from both inland and coastal flooding.
Asian Countries Most at Risk from Rising Water Levels
Not surprisingly, countries with considerable coastlines, river systems, and flatlands find themselves with high percentages of their population at risk.
The Netherlands and Bangladesh are the only two nations in the world to have more than half of their population at risk due to flooding, at 59% and 58%, respectively. Vietnam (46%), Egypt (41%), and Myanmar (40%) round out the rest of the top five nations.
Besides the Netherlands, only two other European nations are in the top 20 nations by percentage of population at risk, Austria (18th at 29%) and Albania (20th at 28%).
Rank Country Flood risk, by population exposed (%) Total population exposed
#1 Netherlands 58.7% 10,100,000
#2 Bangladesh 57.5% 94,424,000

#24 Croatia 26.9% 1,094,000
#25 Slovakia 26.7% 1,401,000
The Southeast Asia region alone makes up more than two-thirds of the global population exposed to flooding risk at 1.24 billion people.
China and India account for 395 million and 390 million people, respectively, with both nations at the top in terms of the absolute number of people at risk of rising water levels. The rest of the top five countries by total population at risk are Bangladesh (94 million people at risk), Indonesia (76 million people at risk), and Pakistan (72 million people at risk).
How Flooding is Already Affecting Countries Like Pakistan
While forecasted climate and natural disasters can often take years to manifest, flooding affected more than 100 million people in 2021. Recent summer floods in Pakistan have continued the trend in 2022.
With 31% of its population (72 million people) at risk of flooding, Pakistan is particularly vulnerable to floods.

What Are Transitive And Intransitive Verbs?
A transitive verb is one that is used with an object: a noun, phrase, or pronoun that refers to the person or thing that is affected by the action of the verb. In the following sentences, admire, maintain, face, and love are transitive verbs:
I admire your courage.
We need to maintain product quality.
I couldn’t face him today.
She loves animals.
Some transitive verbs can be used with a direct object and an indirect object

Some transitive verbs can be used with a direct object and an indirect object:
Liz brought her a glass of water.
[indirect object] [direct object]
He sent her a letter.
[indirect object] [direct object]
What is an object?
An object in grammar is a part of a sentence, and often part of the predicate. It refers to someone or something involved in the subject's "performance" of the verb. It is what the verb is being done to. As an example, the following sentence is given:
Subject Verb Object
Leila wrote the poem
"Leila" is the subject, the doer or performer,
"wrote" is a verb that refers to the action,
"the poem" is the object involved in the action.
Transitive and intransitive verbs
A verb can be classified as transitive or intransitive according to whether it takes or doesn't take an object:
If a verb takes objects, then it is a transitive verb.
Example:
They played soccer. → (The verb play takes ONE object 'soccer')
O que é o verbo to be?Antes de tudo, assim como falamos ali em cima, você precisa saber que o to be significa “ser” e “estar”, e tem três variações, de acordo com o pronome usado. Você se lembra dos pronomes, certo?
Verbo to be no presenteEm inglês, teremos am, is e are para indicar o to be nesses pronomes. Mas como sabemos como usar cada um? Para começar, o mais fácil: am somente será utilizadoa companhando a primeira pessoa do singular, ou seja, “eu”.
Economics
Curve Fitting
macroeconomics
Curve fitting helps in capturing the trend in the data by assigning a single function
across the entire range.
If the functional relationship between the two quantities being graphed is known to be
within additive or multiplicative constants, it is common practice to transform the data in
such a way that the resulting line is a straight line.(by plotting) A process of quantitatively
estimating the trend of the outcomes, also known as regression or curve fitting, therefore
becomes necessary.
For a series of data, curve fitting is used to find the best fit curve. The produced equation is
used to find points anywhere along the curve. It also uses interpolation (exact fit to the data)
and smoothing.
Some people also refer it as regression analysis instead of curve fitting. The curve fitting
process fits equations of approximating curves to the raw field data. Nevertheless, for a
given set of data, the fitting curves of a given type are generally NOT unique.
Smoothing of the curve eliminates components like seasonal, cyclical and random
variations. Thus, a curve with a minimal deviation from all data points is desired. This
best-fitting curve can be obtained by the method of least squares.
What is curve fitting Curve fitting?
Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical functions, which possess closest
proximity to the series of data. By the curve fitting we can mathematically construct the functional
relationship between the observed fact and parameter values, etc. It is highly effective in mathematical
modelling some natural processes.
What is a fitting model?
A fit model (sometimes fitting model) is a person who is used by a fashion designer or
clothing manufacturer to check the fit, drape and visual appearance of a design on a
'real' human being, effectively acting as a live mannequin.
What is a model fit statistics?
The goodness of fit of a statistical model describes how well it fits a set of
observations. Measures of goodness of fit typically summarize the discrepancy
between observed values and the values expected under the model in question.
What is a commercial model?
Commercial modeling is a more generalized type of modeling. There are high
fashion models, and then there are commercial models. ... They can model for
television, commercials, websites, magazines, newspapers, billboards and any other
type of advertisement. Most people who tell you they are models are “commercial”
models.
What is the exponential growth curve?
Growth of a system in which the amount being added to the system is proportional to the
amount already present: the bigger the system is, the greater the increase. ( See geometric
progression.) Note : In everyday speech, exponential growth means runaway expansion, such
as in population growth.
Why is population exponential?
Exponential population growth: When resources are unlimited, populations
exhibit exponential growth, resulting in a J-shaped curve.
