Authors:   Makerere University, Kobusingye (PhD) Loyce Kiiza , Luswata Tom ,   Makerere University
Published: November 2021

The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 caused among other happenings the closure of schools as an infection and spread-preventive strategy. This came with a pedagogical shift from face to face to on-line teaching and learning which had to be home-based. This shift did not affect only learners but the teachers too. The purpose of the study was thus to explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic’s inevitable and resultant schools’ closure on teachers in Uganda, with special emphasis on both threats and opportunities. The study adopted a qualitative and explorative design. The respondents were 12 in number selected using purposive and convenience sampling. The data from the focus group discussion was analysed using thematic analysis. From the discussions, it emerged that the teachers were affected by the COVID-19 schools’ closure psychologically, socially, economically, instructionally and career-wise. From these findings, it becomes imperative thatpsycho social support be availed to teachers in all schools through the establishment of counselling departments to assist teachers cope with unpredictable events such as pandemics. It is recommended that teachers identify additional sources of income in addition to teaching to enable them earn survive in such unpredictable circumstances. Schools may also need to have income generating plans for their teachers to enable them to earn a living through circumstances that cause schools’ closure. It is imperative for schools to train teachers in educational technology to achieve blended learning such that in times such as these, online learning becomes an easy way of proceeding with teaching and learning.

Apart from scalable classrooms, learning in virtual space for pro-technology and pro-Internet generation contributes significantly to developing their inherent domains. This process manifests through the use of digital materials, making the pedagogical scheme enjoyable, catchy, innovative, and inclusive. Today’s staggering educational challenges of tertiary institutions, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, call for operational rejig. Still alarming is the difficulty of containing the recent evolution into variants. Sequel to this, different countries adopted various strategies to achieve tension-free and inclusive learning environments as part of the ‘new normal.’ This study addresses the pertinence: Could the use of virtual spaces for instructional delivery constitute sustainable strategies for tension-free, and more inclusive, methods of educating learners during and after COVID-19 dispensation? To answer this question, we adopted a theory-based adaptation conceptual approach and inside-outside approach and brought the Nigerian situation into focus where virtual learning was sceptically debunked because of operational and policy slackness. This study agreed with the positive potentials of virtual space and disagrees with earlier studies deficient at uncertainty variables. Based on these, recommends areas of gaps filling in developing countries’ education systems, who stopped learning during the pandemic period for future adoption and adaptation.

Analysis of spatial patterns of trends in the frequency and intensity of Indian precipitation
Authors: ROY SHOURASENI SEN , BALLING Jr. ROBERT C.
Published: November 2021

We assembled daily precipitation records for 129 weather stations spread all over India for the time period 1910 to 2000. Next we classified these stations into nine different regions according to the mean annual precipitation values for the different India meteorological sub-divisions. We conducted detailed analysis of total precipitation and the frequency of precipitation for each five-percentile interval for every region.  In general, our results show a decrease in precipitation throughout much of India with only the northwest showing an increase. Our analyses by precipitation percentile class intervals show that the most extreme events have become more frequent, particularly in the western half of the country. Our results are broadly consistent with the IPCC Scientific Assessment by Houghton et al. (2001) and other studies focusing on the spatial dimensions of Indian precipitation over time.

In this study NCAR MM5 with the cumulus parameterization scheme of Kain-Fritsch is used to simulate the evaluation of Orissa Super Cyclone for the period 25-30 October 1999. The NCAR MM5 with two-way nested horizontal domains of 90, 30 and 10 km are integrated for five days starting from 0000 UTC of 25 October, 1999. The initial and boundary conditions for this study have been taken from NCEP FNL analysis data available at 1° resolution.

The model simulation produces the development of the Orissa Super Cyclone with attained central sea level pressure of 954 hPa and maximum wind of 58 msec-1. The essential characteristics such as warm core, eye and eye-wall simulation, hurricane core winds were obtained by the model. The model could predict a maximum rainfall of 40 cm/day near the landfall point. The model produces a very good estimate of track with errors of 120 km at 24 hours and decreasing to 0 km at 120 hours.

 The data on chemical composition of wet only precipitation from two island stations Minicoy in Arabian Sea and Portblair in Bay of Bengal, representing 22 year period, 1981-2002 have been analyzed. An attempt has been made to explain the correlation between various ionic concentrations. The maximum concentrations of sulfate, nitrate and hydrogen ions in rainwater are observed during winter season. When classified by season the wet deposition flux for all the ions is greatest in the monsoon season during which precipitation is substantially high. A tendency for increase in acidic deposition is observed at both the stations. The volcanic activity at Barren island appears to influence the chemical composition of rainwater at Portblair. The annual wet deposition of SO42- ranged from 15.6 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Minicoy to 25.5 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Portblair, and the corresponding amounts of NO3- deposited ranged from 38.0 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Minicoy to 74.6 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Portblair. Of the cations Na+ and Ca2+ are the elements deposited in largest quantities followed by Mg2+ and K+.

 An attempt has been made to examine the dynamical role (if any) played by the Western Ghats (WG), in the distance effect of vortex over the Bay of Bengal (BOB) on the rainfall enhancement over Pune, during southwest monsoon season (SWMS). To examine it, a dynamical model of airflow over a meso-scale barrier has been used. Six cases have been studied, in which enhancement of rainfall over Pune in presence of vortex over the Head Bay are noticed. Out of these six cases, in four cases it is found that the dynamical model can capture, at least qualitatively, the observed fluctuation (rise and fall) of rainfall over Pune. In these four cases westerly along west coast was strong with considerable depth in vertical. In one of the other two cases, the model has been able to capture, at least qualitatively, the observed rise in rainfall but failed to capture the observed fall in rainfall. In the other case the model has failed completely to capture, even qualitatively, the fluctuation in observed rainfall over Pune. In the last two cases, westerly along west coast station was weak and shallow.

Trend of shift in the area of cyclo-genesis over north Indian Ocean
Authors: SINGH CHARAN , LOE B. R.
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT. Cyclo-genesis over north Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea) has been studied with reference to the formation and shift of cyclo-genesis area. The frequency of formation of cyclones during a particular month and year for the period of study has been presented. The study has shown that the maximum number of cyclo-genesis occurred during the month of July followed by August and September. Cyclo-genesis was about three times more in the Bay of Bengal as compared to that in the Arabian Sea. Areas favourable for cyclo-genesis were found between Lat. 15.0° N to 22.5° N and Long. 86.0° E to 92.0° E over the Bay of Bengal and Lat. 7.0° N to 12.5° N and 60.0° E to 74.0° E over the Arabian sea while meander over north Indian ocean, some times its shift significantly. Standard deviation of number of cyclones has been computed for the decades from 1891-2000. It was found that it was maximum (1.96) during 1941-1950 followed by 1981-1990 (1.92).
On the tropospheric zonal and meridional fluxes of moisture in relation to nor’westers in Bangladesh during the pre-monsoon season
Authors: KARMAKAR SAMARENDRA , ALAM MD. MAHBUB
Published: November 2021

Attempts have been made to study the zonal and meridional fluxes of moisture of the troposphere prior to the occurrence of nor’westers in Bangladesh during the pre-monsoon season. The study reveals that the westerly fluxes (positive) of moisture (WFM) dominate in the troposphere over Dhaka at 0000 UTC from 925 to 200 hPa level having maximum frequency of WFM from 61.68 to 96.26% in the layer from 925 to about 300 hPa level. The maximum WFM over Dhaka at 0000 UTC on the dates of occurrence of nor’westers may be more than 200 gm kg-1 × ms-1 in the lower troposphere and the maximum easterly (negative) fluxes of moisture (EFM) over Dhaka at 0000 UTC may be -128.3 gm kg-1 × ms-1 at 1000 hPa. In the upper troposphere the zonal fluxes of moisture (ZFM) become nil in most of the cases. The ZFM over Dhaka at 0000 UTC are mainly westerly and more westerly in the lower and middle troposphere on the dates of occurrence of nor’westers as compared to the fluxes on the dates of non-occurrence. The southerly fluxes (positive) of moisture (SFM) dominate in the troposphere over Dhaka at 0000 UTC from 1000 to 300 hPa level. The meridional fluxes of moisture (MFM) are mainly southerly and more southerly in the lower and middle troposphere on the dates of occurrence of nor’westers as compared to the dates of non-occurrence. In the upper troposphere the MFM become nil in most of the cases.The vertically integrated ZFM and MFM from 1000 to 100 hPa over Dhaka at 0000 UTC on the dates of occurrence of nor’westers in Bangladesh have been computed, compared and inference has been drawn. The present study also deals with the spatial distribution of the vertically integrated ZFM and MFM from 925 to 400 hPa level over Bangladesh and its surrounding areas. The range of the vertically integrated ZFM and MFM for the layer is about (2-12) × 105 and (3-14) × 105 kg × ms-1 respectively over Bangladesh in most of the cases.
Boundary layer characteristics associated with sea breeze circulation over Cochin
Authors: V HAMZA , BABU C. A.
Published: November 2021

Features of sea and land breezes, surface fluxes and drag coefficient over Cochin are studied using more than 300 daily observations of air temperature, wind speed and direction data. The duration and intensity of sea breeze circulation vary with the rain or cloud as it reduces the differential heating. Onset of sea breeze is early in summer season for the near equatorial station compared to winter season. Cessation is almost same for all seasons and is around 1900 hours. The sea breeze circulation is almost westerly and land breeze circulation is almost easterly in all the seasons. It is found that in most of the cases, the temperature and wind speed decreases at the time of onset of sea breeze and turning of wind direction with height becomes counter clockwise (backing) during the transition period from land breeze to sea breeze. In all seasons, the momentum flux is directed downward. High values of momentum flux were found during the presence of sea breeze in pre-monsoon season. Average sensible heat flux is directed upward during the entire period and during nighttime it is almost zero in the winter and monsoon seasons. The intensity of momentum flux decreases during onset and cessation of sea breeze for all the cases. The cold air advection associated with the sea breeze results in the decrease of sensible heat flux at the time of onset of sea breeze. Averaged surface momentum and sensible flux patterns resemble closely to the instantaneous pattern for all the seasons. Generally, sea breeze is stronger than land breeze in all the seasons. Accordingly, the drag coefficient power relationship with wind is different for sea breeze and land breeze circulations.Key words – Sea breeze circulation, Monsoon boundary layer, Surface fluxes, Drag coefficient, Diurnal variation.
QBO and QTO of atmospheric trace elements nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons: An update
Authors: KANE R. P.
Published: November 2021

An analysis of N2O (nitrous oxide) and CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) concentrations (monthly values) at various locations during 1978-2001 indicated seasonal variations. When these were minimized by calculating 12-month running means (12m) and 3-year running means (37m) were subtracted from 12m, the residues (12m-37m) showed oscillations with peak spacings in the QBO (quasi-biennial oscillation, 2-3 year) and in the QTO (quasi-triennial oscillation, 3-4 year) regions. The QBO at high northern latitudes roughly resembled the QBO of stratospheric low latitude winds and the QTO at low latitudes resembled the QTO of ENSO (El Niño/Southern oscillation).Key words – QBO, QTO, ENSO, Chlorofluorocarbon.
Interrelation among different instability indices of the troposphere over Dhaka associated with thunderstorms/nor'westers over Bangladesh during the pre-monsoon season
Authors: KARMAKAR SAMARENDRA , ALAM MD. MAHBUB
Published: November 2021

Attempts have been made to correlate different instability indices among themselves statistically. The study reveals that the Showalter Stability Index (SI) has moderate to good correlations with different instability indices except Dew-point Index (DPI), Vertical Total Index (VT), Modified Vertical Total Index (MVT) and Modified K-Index (MK). Most of the correlations co-efficient are found to be significant up to 99% level of significance except Dry Instability Index (DII), which has correlation with SI up to 95% level of significance. Lifted Index (LI) has moderate to good correlation with different instability indices except DII, K-Index (KI) and MVT. Most of the correlations co-efficient are significant up to 99% level of significance except VT, SWEAT Index (SWI) and MKI, which have correlation with LI up to 95% level of significance. Unmodified instability indices have moderate to strong correlation with the corresponding modified instability indices, having 99% level of significance. The correlation co-efficient of VT and MVT, SWI and Modified SWEAT Index (MSWI), and KI and MKI are comparatively large. Standard errors of estimate are small in almost all the cases except a few. The regression equations obtained are likely to be helpful in the computation of different instability indices.
Precipitation simulation of synoptic scale systems over western Himalayan region using Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model
Authors: SEMWAL GIRISH , GIRI R. K.
Published: November 2021

Operational weather prediction over western Himalayan region is a challenging job due to scarcity of data and complex topography that interacts with approaching weather system. Accurate prediction of complex weather phenomena requires dense data network which is difficult to establish in mountain due to complex terrain and hostile weather conditions over Himalaya. The alternate method to overcome this problem is by ingesting three-dimensional meteorological variables from global model’s analysis and forecast values as initial and lateral boundary conditions in meso-scale numerical models. Simultaneously, data assimilation is a potential tool in which non-conventional [satellite, radar and Automatic Weather Station (AWS)] and conventional (surface and upper air observations) data are ingested in the numerical models to generate high resolution and accurate initial fields for the initialization of the mesoscale model. In the present study, Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model has been used for the prediction of synoptic weather system known as Western Disturbance (WD) that affects the weather of western and central Himalaya during winter period (November – April).The ARPS model has been selected for this study because the model has its own objective analysis and quality control system. It has the capacity to ingest the satellite, Doppler weather radar data and other types of observations. Its assimilation system can also be used to overcome the problem of data scarcity in Himalayan region. In this study, initial and lateral boundary fields are taken from the T-80 spectral global model operationally used at National Centre for Medium Range Prediction (NCMRWF), Noida (UP), India. The global model’s analysis was taken as the initial condition and 24 hour’s interval forecasts as lateral boundary conditions. The model has been used for the simulation of few WDs for 96 hours (Four days). The comparison of ARPS simulation with T-80 forecast shows that the ARPS model could produce better results in respect of the circulation of WDs and hence it can be utilized for the operational weather prediction over the Indian region.

In the industrial era 4.0 technology has emerged and people's thoughts are increasingly democratic. Nowadays, we see a lot of phenomena in coffee shops where young people with their laptops can buy company shares through investment and get dividends. This investment activity will encourage a country's economy, absorb labor, increase output resulting in foreign exchange savings or even increase foreign exchange. Investment aims to get a fixed income in each period, meet future needs and so on. Thus, the increase in the value of this investment is expected to help economic growth for the welfare of the community. (www.idx.co.id) The condition of the community in Blang Pulo Village is in a position that is still in the lower middle-class community where most people earn from farming and trading. Almost the average community does not have savings prepared for the future. Others are in a weak economic position where their income is only enough for their daily meals. With the investment village, it is hoped that the trading community in Gampong Blang Pulo will be willing to follow directions to save shares every month on a regular basis to get the maximum profit possible. (https://kampungkb.bkkbn.go.id) An investment village is an activity to introduce investment to the community and invite people to save shares.

The highest production (catching) of tuna reached 32.22% per year but the selling price of fish was very low, while the fish processing business was only in the form of wooden fish (keumamah) and smoking due to low mastery of technology and absorption of innovation. The business of processing tuna into shredded fish and fish crackers has never been carried out by the coastal fishing communities of Aceh, even though this business has the potential to be developed on a household scale. The service activity aims to provide training on processing tuna into shredded fish and fish crackers for fishing communities in coastal areas in the category of poor families. The method used is the survey method and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Demonstrations of processing tuna into shredded fish and fish crackers can open up insights and business opportunities for housewives and young fishermen in creating added value and profit for traditional fishing households as well as improving production management and marketing of competitively processed fish. This activity can foster an entrepreneurial spirit among coastal fishing communities to increase fishermen's household income.

The increasingly massive Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has recently changed the system/order of people's lives in Indonesia. This system is known as the New Normal Era. At this time, the existing employment system in Indonesia forced various job providers to reduce the number of workers due to capital problems and social distancing rules. The prohibition of gathering in one place en masse caused job providers to lay off some employees, thus increasing the number of unemployed. This also happened in North Aceh District. Many young workers are forced to leave work because of the limited job opportunities available in North Aceh District. The formation of a new business/business accompanied by the skill of understanding the quality of the product to be produced is the best solution in this condition. Understanding product quality will certainly help entrepreneurs to determine market segmentation, marketing strategies, production costs, types of raw materials used and what risks must be faced. One of the businesses that are very popular with entrepreneurs today is the business of processed drinks from Arabica coffee commodities. Arabica coffee from Aceh Province is better known as Gayo coffee. Gayo coffee is quite famous in the world because it has a distinctive aroma and enjoyment and if it is cupped or taste tested. The location of community service is taken in the North Aceh Regency area considering the location of the Faculty of Agriculture, Malikussaleh University which is located in North Aceh Regency, it is expected to be able to make a direct contribution to reducing unemployment through deepening entrepreneurial skills in working age youth through product quality improvement training and coffee test cupping to face new normal challenge in north aceh.

Authors: Long J , Lathan R , Sidapra M , Chetter I , Nandhra S
Published: November 2021

Background: Prior to the development of the Journal of Vascular Societies Great Britain & Ireland (JVSGBI), there were limited opportunities for UK based vascular health professionals to publish research relevant for UK vascular practice. A survey was developed to evaluate the appetite and potential infrastructure for a UK vascular journal amongst vascular healthcare professionals. Methods: In May 2020, an online questionnaire was administered by The Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland (VSGBI) Research Committee, surveying vascular health professionals regarding the development of a UK-specific vascular journal. The survey was disseminated via email to multi-disciplinary members of the vascular community with links promoted on social media. Results: Responses were received from 359 individuals identifying predominantly as surgeons (38%), nurses (8%), technologists (10%), radiologists (20%), trainees (10%), physiotherapists (7%) and other (7%). The majority of participants (67%) indicated they would be in favour of a UK-specific vascular journal and that it should be available as an online quarterly publication. Almost three quarters (74%) of respondents thought a subscription fee should be included in societies’ membership fees. Free text comments highlighted a few concerns, suggesting the focus should instead be to improve the quality of existing vascular journals. However, most respondents welcomed the idea of a journal relevant to UK practice, with inclusivity of all UK vascular professions to encourage more collaborative working. Conclusions: Overall, feedback collected from the survey was positive and suggested a demand for a UK-specific vascular journal, providing an indication that the development of such a journal should be further explored. The results of this survey helped to inform the development of the JVSGBI.

The problem of garbage is a classic problem that repeatedly faced by the surrounding residents, especially in the Village of Peace. Because of the amount and level of danger, waste, especially plastic waste composed of chemicals, is difficult to decompose so that it is dangerous for the environment, so it is necessary to process waste to turn plastic waste into something useful. Based on surveys in the peaceful village area, North Binjai people still mostly do not have a fixed income. The implementation of the results of plastic bottle waste treatment into liquid hand soap packaging products in Damai Village was carried out to raise awareness of residents and provide ideas on how to increase their income. In addition, it can minimize pollution, so that the residents of The Peace Village can be more concerned about environmental cleanliness. The methods used in the program of utilizing plastic waste as packaging products are divided into two, namely the stage of exposure or explanation and the stage of practice to the community. Through training and mentoring the manufacture of hand washing soap and the utilization of plastic bottle waste, residents get insight into business opportunities that can be created through these creative ideas, and residents are already able to make liquid hand soap that can be sold. Through the training program on making hand soap in Damai Village, it is hoped that it can be an alternative to the use of plastic bottle waste which can be a product that can help improve the economy of the surrounding community.

Between East and West: Armorica and the European Bronze and Iron Ages
Authors: Galliou Patrick
Published: November 2021

As one of the peripheral regions of Europe, the Armorican peninsula is often believed to have been a cultural backwater, one that was hardly ever reached by the major cultural and technological changes taking place in late prehistoric continental cultures. For people living away from the ocean, the latter is often seen as an obscure threat, an awful obstacle, a liquid wall isolating continental masses and cultures from one another. However, the ocean was always used as a passageway, a link between peoples, and, later regions bordering the Atlantic, from the south of the Iberian Peninsula to the North Sea (Cunliffe 2001: 21–63). In this vast sea-space, the Armorican peninsula, situated at the articulation between two maritime zones — the Bay of Biscay to the south, the Irish Sea and the English Channel to the north — was a place where various cultural influences would come into contact and thrive. Far from being a dead end, it was perfectly integrated, during the various phases of its long history, in the major cultural and technological currents running along the western façade of Europe.
The Celtic Element in Gallo-Romance Dialect Areas
Authors: Le Dû Jean
Published: November 2021

The history of the French language was initially marked by Celtomania, which saw Celtic roots everywhere. When this doctrine was discredited and discarded in the XIXth century, the role of the Germanic superstrate became hypertrophied, the more so that Breton, long considered a direct descendant of the native Gaulish, was ranked in the same period as an alien language imported from Great Britain into the Armorican peninsula. Relying on modern geolinguistics, I compare ALF (Atlas Linguistique de la France) maps with Breton ones, using the data recorded in Le Roux’s Atlas Linguistique de la Basse-Bretagne and Le Dû’s Nouvel Atlas Linguistique de la Basse-Bretagne. I shall try to show that several of theses maps reveal the presence of ALF data whose origin is clearly Celtic and not Germanic. The study of the Atlas Linguarum Europae and of the Atlas Linguistique Roman has shown that borders between languages and even language families are not waterproof. It is high time to develop such comparisons to bring about a new vision of the history of languages.

Authors: Borja Roncallo Gisella Yolanda , Blanco Jiménez Jesús
Published: November 2021

La presente investigación expone el desarrollo de una aplicación móvil desde una perspectiva ingenieril, fundamentada en la línea de procedimiento de diseño y prototipado, basado en pantallas de interacción con el usuario para dar solución a un problema específico en el ámbito de la bioingeniería, la prevención por infección de VIH/SIDA por medio de la obtención de informes interpretativos, que son el resultado de las pruebas diagnósticas. Ergo, se recurre al diseño iterativo como método para la construcción de un prototipo funcional de una aplicación, titulada PreVIH, utilizando HTML/CCS/JS/WebSQL para ser instalada en teléfonos inteligentes que cuenten con el sistema operativo Android 9 o versiones posteriores. La app resultante demostró la practicidad de utilizar aplicaciones móviles en entornos donde la alta tecnología es de difícil acceso y la necesidad de tener al alcance información es fundamental para la atención primaria, donde los médicos tratantes no cuentan con especializaciones. De allí que, el enfoque de PreVIH sea viable para su mejora y posterior implantación.
