Our findings suggest that municipalities whose local government leaders possess a higher level of DRL tend to make more progress in reducing disaster risk and building resilience for their cities.
This suggests that, controlling for the effects of all other predictors, municipalities whose local government leaders possess a higher level of disaster resilience leadership tend to have a higher level of progress in flood resilience building.
We found that the expression levels of these two genes were respectively higher in ProA-Xa21 plants than that in Kitaake plants, suggesting that rice plants carrying Xa21 possess a higher level of basal PTI than Kitaake plants.
More importantly, the results of our empirical study show that local government leaders who possess a higher level of disaster resilience leadership (DRL) can contribute significantly to the progress of disaster risk reduction and resilience building efforts.
It is found that the specimens designed with bent reinforcing bars exhibit satisfactory performance, and possess a higher level of hogging moment resistance compared to those with straight reinforcing bars.
If adolescents learn and adopt cognitive techniques to more adequately regulate their levels of anxiety, they will possess a higher level of self-control available to regulate their behaviour, eventually leading to a decrease in externalizing problems as well.
