Published: March 2022

Lemon Island waters are an island that has a diversity of coral reef ecosystems. The coastal areas of Lemon Island have different coral reef structures, so it is necessary to conduct research using underwater photogrammetry to visualize the condition of coral reefs. Photogrammetry is a process of obtaining information about an object through measurements made from photographs. The use of underwater photogrammetry in visualizing coral reefs can also be used to extract coral conditions such as size, condition, and percentage of coral colony cover. This study aims to determine the shape and condition of the visual life form of coral reefs in the waters of Lemon Island. The method used in this research is the photogrammetric method which is then analyzed using CPCe, using the number of random points used to analyze 30 photos for each frame. Based on the results obtained, it can be seen 6 forms of coral growth found in the waters of Lemon Island, namely, Acropora Branching, Acropora Submassive, Coral Branching, Coral Massive, Coral Submassive and Coral Mushroom. The total percentage of coral reef cover is 45.84%, so it is categorized in moderate condition.

Authors: Waldia Ritika , Bhatt Jay Prakash
Published: March 2022

The present study was aimed to assess the impacts of the changing housing patterns on the populations of House Sparrow in the rural areas of the hills of the Pithoragarh region in Uttarakhand. The sampling sites were chosen in such a manner to include the traditional stone masonry, mixed (partially concrete), and modern concrete houses. We recorded the density of House Sparrow (using point count method), density of nest, and sex ratios in the different categories of houses at different time durations of the day. In this study (i) the traditional stone masonry houses recorded the highest density of House Sparrow and nests, (ii) changing housing patterns did not affect the sex ratio in House Sparrow and, (iii) the changing housing patterns in the rural areas of the hills of Uttarakhand appeared to be one of the causes of population decline in House Sparrow. The conservation measures we have outlined here include a comprehensive public awareness and education programmes, installation of artificial nest boxes in the houses and gardens, and protection of House Sparrow under the rules of Wildlife (Protection) Act (1972), Government of India.

Authors: Dutta Pinak , Dutta Mita
Published: March 2022

The last decade has seen a surge of emergence of zoonotic diseases leading to disastrous consequences. The out break of these zoonoses are due to immense human pressure leading to biodiversity loss, change of human dietary pattern and illegal wildlife trade to name a few. Globally scientists, politicians and economists are trying to tackle the problem, but more unified efforts are required. Keeping these efforts confined to the elite community will be of no use unless the common people, who account for the greater part of the population, are made aware of the global scenario.
Kriging Interpolation Based Error Analysis of Epic Model with Respect to Standard K Factor Method for Gurushikhar, Rajasthan, India
Authors: Maurya Narendra Kumar , Tanwar Prakash Singh , A.S. Yusuf
Published: March 2022

This paper investigates an error analysis of the K-factor by EPIC model and the Standard Table. Experiments accomplished to find various contents of soil and K-factor are calculated using the EPIC model and Standard Table is used for standard K values to consider them as true values. Kriging Interpolation is used to find unknown K-factors values in the Gurushikhar study area for both K-factor values. The prediction map for the K-factor is generated for the EPIC model, the Standard Table, and the Error of K-factor using the Kriging interpolation method. In the next section cross-validation comparison of the resulting maps is done. Results of high elevation regions show high negative errors and in plain regions, it shows positive errors. The regression function is generated using the collected and interpolated data. It also shows the high difference in multiplicative factor for âEPIC model K-factorâ map and âK-Factor Error mapâ then âStandard Table Kfactor mapâ and âError mapâ. Histograms for all sample points for Clay, Silt, Soil, and OMC are also created to understand the relationship with the most erroneous frequencies. The result shows that error is dependent on texture (Clay, Silt, and Soil) not on OMC in this study area.

Authors: Kumar Tanu , Gupta Ashok Kumar
Published: March 2022

Increase in industrialization and urbanization has resulted in pollution of available land, and most of the agricultural land has turned into construction sites lately. Large proportion of the agricultural land is black cotton soil having high swelling and shrinkage property. Thus the soil should be treated or replaced with a suitable and effective material to enhance its mechanical properties for construction of buildings, referred as soil stabilization. Cost-effective and economically feasible solutions for waste management are the valorisation of waste from sugarcane industries using dry bagasse and fly ash from coal power plants in improving soil characteristics. This review provides comprehensive understanding on use of fly ash in combination with dry bagasse as an effective soil stabilizer.

Impact of Jhum Cultivation on Forest Ecosystem and Environment Management Policies in Meghalaya, India
Authors: Tamuli Trishna Moni , Bora Ashok K.
Published: March 2022

Shifting or jhum cultivation is one of the primary causes of deforestation in tropical areas. In Meghalaya, increasing human population density like in other states of India has resulted in the practice of unsustainable form of jhum that includes shortening of the fallow period of jhum cycle. This unsustainable form of jhum cultivation leads to soil degradation, soil erosion, loss of forest vegetation and threatens the survival of valuable flora and fauna. The study area is one of the richest reservoirs of plant diversity of North-East India as well as India. The decreasing fallow period from 15-20 to 2-3 years has a negative impact on the environment sustainability in Meghalaya which reduced the quality of soil. The overall reduction in the forest, mainly due to jhumming can severely affect the viable forest habitat of the endangered fauna. This study reveals the effects of short jhum cycle period on current forest ecosystem.

Authors: Saha Dibyendu , Keshri Jai Prakash , Saha Nimai Chandra
Published: March 2022

Raniganj coalfield, one of the crucial mining zones in India in terms of its age and production, mostly extracts coal by surface mining method depending on the under-surface. This paper presents a review on Raniganj coalfields regarding the environment, soil, vegetation, forests, habitat diversity, water quality, water regime, aquatic ecosystems, livelihood and human health. This study shows with the help of various researches that under surface coal mining is susceptible to coal fire and land subsidence while surface mine adversely affects the water, land and ambient air. Both processes are accountable for the life of the local community in the mine adjacent regions. Contrastingly mine excavating, directly and indirectly, enhances the local economy and job opportunities but negatively affects the natural and social behaviour of the local inhabitants. Coal that meets more than 60% of energy in India nevertheless needs technologies for the extraction of coal in a cleaner and more efficient manner.

Published: March 2022

The present study aimed at investigating the potential of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a viable alkaline reagent for lignocellulosic pre treatment considering its various benefits of pre treatment. Prosopis juliflora was pre treated with different NaOH concentrations of 1â3 % for varying treatment times of 15-60 min at temperatures of 100, 120 and 140 Â°C in an autoclave. Maximum lignin reductions at different temperatures were all obtained at the combinations of highest NaOH concentrations and longest treatment times, which indicated a close relationship between pre treatment severity and lignin reduction. The highest carbohydrate retention of 65.09 per cent was observed in the sample pre treated at 120 Â°C with 2% NaOH and 60 min. Three pre treatment conditions were selected for subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis with Cellic CTec2Â® enzyme complex for fermentable sugar production along with untreated biomass as control to study the soaking effect. The biomass pretreated with 2.0 % NaOH for 1 h at 120 Â°C and loaded with 30% enzyme was determined to be the most effective as it resulted in generation of 583.9 mg sugar/g biomass for a corresponding carbohydrate conversion of 90.86 %.

Published: March 2022

Maydelliathelphusa masoniana Henderson 1893 is a Gecarcinucid crab found in various water bodies of Jammu region, wherein the population structure, growth parameters and effect of rainfall on the recruitment of juveniles have been studied. A total of 437 crabs were sampled randomly on monthly basis between October 2017 and September 2019, of which 118 were males, 174 females and 145 immature individuals. Population analysis of the species shows that asymptotic carapace width (CWï¥) was 58.80 mm with growth coefficient (K) 0.750 year-1 and growth performance index (ï¦) of 3.414. The von Bertalanffy model indicated a relatively slow growth in the crab species, with a maximum life span of 4.743 years and natural mortality estimated as 1.10 year-1. The results indicated that spawning in this species can be considered seasonal while the simultaneous emergence of juveniles with high rainfall levels can probably be due to higher food availability and potential sites for protection from various predators in the natural habitat. The distorted sex ratio (1:0.64) (â:â)may be attributed to parameters such as growth rate, mortality, behavioral difference, differential habitat, food restriction, and abiotic influence on the sexes. The results showed that proper management is very critical for survival and development of M. masoniana crab in freshwater bodies of Jammu region.

Published: March 2022

Climate Change is a global challenge and needs to be addressed immediately. The emission of Green House Gases in the atmosphere by anthropogenic factors is one of the major causes of Global Warming and Climate Change. India is working towards the control of global warming by focussing on controlling Green House Gas emissions. The emission of carbon-di-oxide in the atmosphere plays a predominant role in global warming. The Global Warming potential of the Green House Gases is measured in terms of carbon-dioxide equivalent CO2 (eq.). The annual CO2 (eq.) emission data from 2005-2015 from four key sectors viz., Energy, Industry Process and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture Forestry and Land Use (AFOLU), and the Waste sector were considered in the study. Classical Temporal disaggregation methods Denton, Denton Cholette, Chow - Lin, Fernandez, and Litterman methods were employed to disaggregate the low frequency (annual) data to high frequency (quarterly) data. The analysis revealed that the Chow - Lin method of disaggregation best suited to disaggregate the CO2 (eq.) series for the three sectors except AFOLU with anAdjusted R square of 0.9 and the current Price GDP is the good indicator series for CO2 (eq.). The disaggregated data is modelled using ARIMA modelling. The CO2 (eq.) from 2021-Q1 to 2023-Q4 is forecasted using the fitted ARIMA model for each sector.

Carriers: the Less, the Faster
Authors:   Beihang University, Zhao Lidong
Published: March 2022

Thermoelectric (TE) community has long believed that high TE performance requires an optimal carrier concentration traditionally locating in the range of ~1019 to ~1021 cm−3. Herein, we propose that potential high TE performance might also be achieved at lower carrier concentrations of ~1018 to ~1019 cm−3. At this range, extremely large Seebeck coefficient with low thermal conductivity can be effortlessly obtained. The next step to achieve high ZT values is boosting the carrier mobility. We then propose two aspects for carrier mobility optimization, including the strategies of preparing single crystals, improving crystal symmetry, texturing, controlling microscopic defects, sharpening bands, aligning bands, and modulation doping. We also suggest it rather essential to utilize multiple of the strategies to achieve the significant optimization of carrier mobility. Our proposal will be the important guidance for realizing promising performance in new TE materials as well as revisiting the TE performance for traditional systems.
The effect of stand characteristics on soil organic carbon content in spruce and deciduous stands
Authors: Hanakova-Becvarova Petra , Horvath Marian , Sarapatka Borivoj , Zouhar Vaclav
Published: March 2022

Aim of study: To determine the effects of stand characteristics, which closely relate to forest management practices, on the soil organic carbon (SOC) content in the organic (O) and surface mineral (A) soil horizons in spruce and deciduous stands, and to show SOC dynamics during the life of production stands.
Area of study: Spruce and deciduous stands located throughout the Czech Republic.
Material and methods: The effects of age, density of stocking and canopy of stand on SOC content in the O and A horizons, and the difference between categories of variables and the trends of SOC were evaluated in spruce and deciduous stands (401 plots) at lower and middle elevations.
Main results: SOC content changed during the life of stands. In spruce stands, a decreasing trend of SOC with stand age was found in the A horizon. In deciduous stands, SOC content was higher overall in the A horizon, fluctuating slightly with stand age, but more balanced during the life of stands. Based on the results, in terms of management of dying spruce stands and carbon sequestration, felling should be carried out in the age group of 81-120 years in spruce stands, whereas in deciduous stands felling should take place in older stands (141 years and more). Density of stocking and canopy of stand had no substantial effect of SOC content.
Research highlights: Deciduous stands have the potential to replace dying spruce stands at lower elevation in terms of carbon sequestration.

Women’s Acumen of War: An Analytical Textual Discourse of Svetlana Alexievich’s The Unwomanly Face of War
Authors: Shama Johnny S. Pinky , Devi S. Rema
Published: March 2022

War is often a portrayal of the intrepid male realm in history; consistently reiterating the eminence of the male populace and overshadowing the contributions of women. Despite demonstration of capabilities in par with men and involvement in various jurisdictions, historical records have bequeathed minimal representation to the participation of bold women. Svetlana Alexievich is one of those few writers who interviewed these unsung heroines and compiled their testimonies in her book titled, The Unwomanly Face of War, offering them a platform to share their honest opinions. In the wake of human accomplishment, women have contributed phenomenally in the militia, but their humane and feminine instincts have differed widely when compared to men. In spite of, disparities and disparaging views on women’s progress, there are a few authors who continue to acknowledge women’s prowess. This paper is an analysis of Alexievich’s work which brings forth the dark realities of war and a femino centric perspective of women warriors.

Authors: Sangeetha J. , Mohan S. , Hassan Ahdi
Published: March 2022

Intertextuality is a term used to describe how humans read and absorb textual information as a result of the development and interaction of texts. The purpose of this research is to present a theoretical exposition of intertextuality. As a result, the current research focuses on domestic violence, a well-documented social problem that impedes women's development in a variety of ways. The study's methodology is based on the intertextualistic narrative of several works, with a special emphasis on Meena Kandasamy's When I Hit You in the context of Domestic Violence. The study's findings reveal that domestic violence has a vulnerable effect on women due to a range of characteristics, and the analysis of many texts in multiple dimensions suggest that, despite the women characters differing in their cultural medium and familial background, they are intimated by their abusive husbands and are subjected to comparable types of violence worldwide.

Authors: Hassan Khalid Telal Mirghani
Published: March 2022

The aim of the study is to analyze the issue of virtual classroom management throughout the COVID-19 pandemic using a case study approach in a descriptive analytical method. Participants in this study are 110 teachers currently engaged in preparatory and secondary schools in different parts of Qatar. The data collection instrument used was a 4 point Likert Scale based questionnaire targeted to elicit respondents' attitudes and opinions towards virtual classroom management, challenges faced in this, and the most suitable strategies to overcome these challenges. Descriptive statistics, frequencies, and percentages were used to analyze the data. Results based on the findings show three axes: teachers’ challenges, beliefs, and attitudes. Findings indicate that teachers face difficulty in virtual classroom management and attribute the biggest challenge to their inability to check distractions in the home-based learning environment. Another significant finding is that classroom management is marginalized given the extremely limited teacher-student contact in the virtual education mode. Lastly, learner interaction is drastically stunted in virtual mode bringing the teachers to the conclusion that teaching in the physical mode is the only way to ensure classroom management.

Restrictions of Sobolev W_p^1(R^2)-spaces to planar rectifiable curves
Authors: Tyulenev Alexander I.
Published: March 2022

We construct explicit examples of Frostman-type measures concentrated on arbitrary simple rectifiable curves \(\Gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^{2}\) of positive length. Based on such constructions we obtain for each \(p \in (1,\infty)\) an exact description of the trace space \(W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})|_{\Gamma}\) of the first-order Sobolev space \(W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})\) to an arbitrary simple rectifiable curve \(\Gamma\) of positive length.

Objective:

Osteoporosis is not rare in thoracolumbar spine fusion patients and may portend poorer surgical outcomes. Implementation of a bone health optimization (BHO) clinic improves osteoporosis screening and treatment in the total joint arthroplasty population. We hypothesize that preoperative osteoporosis is common, under-recognized, and undertreated in thoracolumbar fusion patients and that a BHO clinic will increase preoperative osteoporosis screening rates and pharmacologic osteoporosis treatment in this population.

Methods:

This retrospective case series includes adults older than 30 years who underwent elective thoracolumbar spine fusion at a single tertiary care center before and after creation of a BHO referral clinic. Data collected included preoperative osteoporosis risk factors, prior dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry testing, and prior osteoporosis pharmacotherapy. Fracture risk was estimated using the fracture risk assessment tool with and without bone mineral density (BMD), and the US National Osteoporosis Foundation criteria for screening and treatment were applied.

Results:

Ninety patients were included in the pre-BHO group; 53 patients met criteria for BMD measurement, but only 10 were tested within 2 years preoperatively. Sixteen patients (18%) met criteria for osteoporosis pharmacotherapy, but only 5 of the 16 (31%) received osteoporosis medication within 6 months of surgery. There were 87 patients in the post-BHO group, and 19 were referred to the BHO clinic. BMD measurement was done in 17 of the patients (89%) referred to the BHO clinic compared with 10% for those not referred. All patients (n = 7) referred to the BHO clinic meeting treatment criteria received treatment within 6 months before surgery, whereas only 25% of the patients not referred received treatment.

Discussion:

Osteoporosis is not rare in adults undergoing thoracolumbar spine fusion with ∼13% to 18% meeting criteria for pharmacotherapy. Preoperative BHO referral increases screening and treatment.
