SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED IN KERA RIVER BASIN, WESTERN MAHARASHTRA, INDIA BASED ON MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Authors: K. R ATAL , Zende Abhijit M.
Published: April 2022

Quantitative drainage network analysis & geomorphic evolution of the Sub-basin of Koyna River from Satara District of Maharashtra have been carried out. The various aspects of geomorphometric parameters such as, Drainage Density, Slope, Shape of the Basin, Bifurcation ratio, length ratios etc. along with the geological parameters gives the precise and objective overview about the watershed. This is the seasonal rain fed watershed, hence needs better management. Sustainable developments and management of the watershed is influenced by topography of the area and geomorphologic features. The generated geo-informatics can be readily used for decision-making. The manual estimation of geomorphic parameters is tedious and cumbersome process. However through this attempt of work, it has been found that integration of RS and GIS allows reliable, most accurate and updated database tool for handling special data, very useful in deriving geomorphometric parameters which are essential for planning of future infrastructural constructions, suggested here, for sustainable water resource development. Quantitative analysis and its interpretation of various drainage parameters enable qualitative evaluation of surface runoff, infiltration and susceptibility to erosion within the basin area. In the present study geomorphometric analysis has been carried out and the RS Data have been interpreted. Also, water availability with the help of flow accumulation study has been carried out. Based on this the locations of various water harvesting structures have been mapped, and also some related developmental activities have been suggested.

User-centred prototype to support wellbeing and isolation of software developers using smartwatches
Authors: Mae Samuel Anna , Garcia-Constantino Matias
Published: April 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges to employees in every sector by forcing them to work remotely. Office working seems an unusual concept as everyone has had to readjust their lifestyles and working patterns to allow a working from home approach, alongside maintaining a work-life balance. This paper contributes with a prototype where working from home is re-imagined in a post-pandemic world. We explored the use of smartwatches to support the well-being of software developers. A human-centred design approach drives the prototype and evaluation. This paper relies on the User-Centred Design Framework. Data affinity analysis showed that isolation is a paramount problem for software developers working from home. Results show that all the participants involved in the study experienced the feeling of isolation while working from home, some being more extreme than others. While this solution focuses on a particular population, given that smartwatches have become more affordable and ubiquitous, this solution could benefit different types of office workers regardless of the type of work, socioeconomic status, or nationality. This paper investigates the use of smartwatches and virtual reality to support the wellbeing and isolation of people.
Relevance of Akerloff’s theory of information asymmetry for the prevention and control of zoonotic infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa: Perspective of Library and Information Services Provision
Authors: Ismail Adakawa Murtala
Published: April 2022

This paper explores the interconnectedness of library and information services provided as a community strategy for the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. The methodology used in reviewing the literature was a systematic review. In the review, Akerloff’s theory of information asymmetry was used as a lens to guide the study. Within the constructs of the theory, artificial asymmetry was found to be a major factor contributing to the situation where those that are exposed to animals are those that receive little or no information for the prevention of zoonotic diseases and their spread. That is why zoonotic diseases flourish faster among humans. For a long, researchers indicated that domesticating animals in ménage is of psychological and historical linkages that detaching individuals from this practice can present dangers to their lives or threat to their wellbeing. Unfortunately, information penetration to the public about the dangers of domesticating animals is mostly restricted to medical practitioners, epidemiologists, veterinarians, etc. neglecting social sciences, other humanities, and their contributions. This brought many zoonotic diseases literature to be confined within the milieu of healthcare professionals in books, journals, or any other scholarly contents despite calls for interdisciplinary research. This resulted in information asymmetry where the dichotomy between the haves and have-nots continues to widen exponentially, and information received by those interacting closely with animals and the information given by health practitioners is not sufficient to enlighten them proportionally. The study recommended that libraries could play important roles in creating awareness and providing space, relevant information resources, outreach programs, and engaging Civil Society Organizations for crowdfunding, among others for preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa.

Performance Evaluation of Different Raspberry Pi Models as MQTT Servers and Clients
Authors: N. Ford Trent , Gamess Eric , Ogden Christopher
Published: April 2022

Performance analysis for devices in Internet of Things (IoT) environments is an important consideration, especially with their increasing integration in technological solutions, worldwide. The Single Board Computers (SBCs) of the Raspberry Pi Foundation have been widely accepted by the community, and hence, they have been incorporated in numerous IoT projects. To ease their integration, it is essential to assess their network performance. In this paper, we made an empirical performance evaluation of one of the most popular network protocols for IoT environments, named the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, on Raspberry Pi. To do so, we set up two different testbeds scenarios and assessed the performance with benchmarks. At the software level, we focused on Mosquitto, a popular open-source MQTT broker implementation and client library. Our principal metric is the transmission time, but we also investigated the throughput. In our experiments, we varied several parameters, such as the size of the payload of the published messages, the WiFi bandwidth, the QoS level, the security level (MQTT vs. MQTT with TLS), and the hardware for the clients and broker. We focus mainly on packet sizes ranging from 100 to 25,000 bytes. We also investigate how these low-cost devices handle a TCP SYN flood attack. In the research work presented within this paper, we aim to guide developers, researchers, network administrators, and hobbyists who plan to use these low-cost devices in an MQTT or IoT network by showing the performance that they should expect according to different Raspberry Pi options.

Authors: Busquets Artigas Jaume
Published: April 2022

El present treball analitza, des d'una visió marítima, les interrelacions comercials i migratòries entre la costa catalana i Mallorca durant la Guerra del Francès a Catalunya (1808-1814). Tot i que el conflicte bèl·lic existent hauria d'haver aturat les línies comercials, això no va succeir, i els viatges van continuar adaptant-se al progrés de la guerra. Aquest estudi aporta una visió desconeguda del comerç i de la migració marítima en temps de guerra que ens ajudarà a entendre, des d'una perspectiva més local, els efectes d'aquest conflicte en el marc geogràfic de la costa catalana.
18O analyses of bulk lipids as novel paleoclimate tool in loess research – a pilot study
Authors: Labahn Jakob , Bittner Lucas , Hirschmann Philip , Roettig Christopher-Bastian , Burghardt Diana , Glaser Bruno , Marković Slobodan B. , Zech Michael
Published: April 2022

Abstract. The analysis of the stable oxygen isotopes 18O and
16O has revolutionized paleoclimate research since the middle of the
last century. Particularly, δ18O of ice cores from Greenland
and Antarctica is used as a paleotemperature proxy, and δ18O of deep-sea
sediments is used as a proxy for global ice volume. Important terrestrial
archives to which δ18O as a paleoclimate proxy is successfully
applied are speleothems, lake sediments, or tree rings. By contrast, δ18O applications to loess–paleosol sequences (LPSs) are scarce. Here
we present a first continuous δ18O record (n=50) for the LPS
Crvenka in Serbia, southeastern Europe, spanning the last glacial–interglacial cycle
(since 145 ka). From a methodological point of view, we took
advantage of a recently proposed paleoclimate/paleohydrological proxy based on
bulk δ18O analyses of plant-derived lipids. The Crvenka δ18Obulk lipid values range between −10.2 ‰
and +23.0 ‰ and are systematically more positive in
the interglacial and interstadial (paleo-)soils corresponding to marine
oxygen-isotope stage (MIS) 1, 3, and 5, compared to the loess layers (MIS 2,
4, and 6). Our Crvenka δ18Obulk lipid record provides no
evidence for the occurrence of interstadials and stadials comparable to the
Dansgaard–Oeschger events known from the Greenland δ18Oice core records. Concerning the interpretation of our Crvenka δ18Obulk lipid record, plant-derived lipids such as fatty acids
and alcohols are certainly strongly influenced by climatic factors such as
temperature (via δ18Oprecipitation) and relative air
humidity (via 18O enrichment of leaf water due to evapotranspiration).
However, pool effects in the form of non-water-correlated lipids such as
sterols or the input of root-derived lipids need to be considered, too.
Similarly, the input of soil-microbial lipids and oxygen exchange reactions
represent uncertainties challenging quantitative paleoclimate/paleohydrological
reconstructions based on δ18Obulk lipid analyses from LPSs.
Forecasting the regional fire radiative power for regularly ignited vegetation fires
Authors: Partanen Tero M. , Sofiev Mikhail
Published: April 2022

Abstract. This paper presents a phenomenological framework for forecasting the area-integrated fire radiative power from wildfires. In the method, a region of interest is covered with a regular grid, whose cells are uniquely and independently parameterized with regard to the fire intensity according to (i) the fire incidence history, (ii) the retrospective meteorological information, and (iii) remotely sensed high-temporal-resolution fire radiative power taken together with (iv) consistent cloud mask data. The parameterization is realized by fitting the predetermined functions for diurnal and annual profiles of fire radiative power to the remote-sensing observations. After the parametrization, the input for the fire radiative power forecast is the meteorological data alone, i.e. the weather forecast. The method is tested retrospectively for south-central African savannah areas with the grid cell size of 1.5°×1.5°. The input data included ECMWF ERA5 meteorological reanalysis and SEVIRI/MSG (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager on board Meteosat Second Generation) fire radiative power and cloud mask data. It has been found that in the areas with a large number of wildfires regularly ignited on a daily basis during dry seasons from year to year, the temporal fire radiative power evolution is quite predictable, whereas the areas with irregular fire behaviour, predictability was low. The predictive power of the method is demonstrated by comparing the predicted fire radiative power patterns and fire radiative energy values against the corresponding remote-sensing observations. The current method showed good skills for the considered African regions and was useful in understanding the challenges in predicting the wildfires in a more general case.
Extreme Atlantic hurricane seasons made twice as likely by ocean warming
Authors: Pfleiderer Peter , Nath Shruti , Schleussner Carl-Friedrich
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Tropical cyclones are among the most damaging extreme weather events. An increase in Atlantic tropical cyclone activity has been observed, but attribution to global warming remains challenging due to large inter-annual variability and modeling challenges. Here we show that the increase in Atlantic tropical cyclone activity since the 1980s can be robustly ascribed to variations in atmospheric circulation as well as sea surface temperature (SST) increase. Based on a novel weather-pattern-based statistical model, we find that the forced warming trend in Atlantic SSTs over the 1982–2020 period has doubled the probability of extremely active tropical cyclone seasons. For the year 2020, our results suggest that such an exceptionally intense season might have been made twice as likely by ocean surface warming. In our statistical model, seasonal atmospheric circulation remains the dominant factor explaining the inter-annual variability and the occurrence of very active seasons. However, our study underscores the importance of rising SSTs that lead to more extreme outcomes in terms of cyclone intensity for the same seasonal atmospheric patterns. Our findings provide a new perspective on the contribution of ocean warming to the increase in recent hurricane activity and illustrate how anthropogenic climate change has contributed to a decisive increase in Atlantic tropical cyclone season activity over the observational period.
Application of Shannon and Simpson Diversity Index to Study Plant biodiversity on Coastal Rocky Ridges Habitats with Reference to Census Data in the Ras El-Hekma and Omayed Area on the Western Coastal Region of Egypt
Authors: Sharashy Omar
Published: April 2022

Biodiversity is a word recently introduced by experts in field of biology, and it is important for ecosystem health and productivity, biodiversity is one of the primary interests of ecologists, and the widely used diversity indices are Shannon’s and Simpson’s index. This study aims to characterize the plant communities and to identify and compare the plant species diversity in the Ras El-Hekma area and Omayed protectorate. The results of the application of the indices of plant biodiversity in both the Ras El-Hekma area and the Omayed protectorate showed that the value of the Shannon index ( H' ) 2.058 and 2. 322, the value of the Simpson index ( D ) 0.85 and 0.92, the value of the Evenness index ( E ) 0.89 and 0.96, the value of Effective Number of Species ( ENSSh , ENSSi ) 6.66, 7.83 and 12.5, 10.19 respectively. The results demonstrated the highest values were recorded in the community of Omayed protectorate compared with the Ras El-Hekma area. The results also revealed that ( H' ) in the two communities 2 ≥ H' < 3. According to the criteria of diversity index, they were moderate diversity. As for the Evenness index (E), 0.75 >E ≤ 1. According to the categorized of the Evenness index, both are stable community.Through the results, diversity indices indicate that there is a more diverse community in the Omayed protectorate compared with the Ras El-Hekma area. The reason may be due to the individuals in Omayed was more evenly distributed among the species than the individuals in Ras El-Hekma. Based on the interpretation of the criteria and categories of Shannon, Simpson, Evenness and Effective Number of Species indices, this meant that the Omayed had high environmental wellness and biodiversity level. Both indices are more reflective in nature and can predict the ecosystem health. Therefore, it may be good to have one of these biodiversity indices to be used for plant communities to understand the ecosystem healthiness in the habitats.

Prácticas líticas y minerales en el Desierto bajo de Atacama : estudio internodal sobre movilidad prehispánica entre costa y oasis
Authors: José Francisco Blanco Jara
Published: April 2022

Esta investigación aborda aspectos hasta ahora poco atendidos dentro del conjunto de problemas que trata la denominada Arqueología Internodal, o de los caminos y viajes. En particular, se presentan y discuten contextos líticos y minerales asociados a distintas vías de circulación en el bajo Desierto de Atacama, uno de los más áridos y con mejor preservación del planeta. Puede plantearse como la proposición inicial de una “lítica de los caminos”, aunque no se restringe únicamente a ello. Dichos contextos líticos y minerales se emplean para discutir, desde el reconocimiento de prácticas sociales, temas relacionados con la interacción, exclusión y/o intercambio entre poblaciones diversas y respecto de sus nodos respectivos, poniendo de relieve la situación multicultural cada vez más manifiesta en los estudios regionales. Prestamos especial atención en la valoración de las prácticas de las poblaciones costeras, frente a las más conocidas de tierra interior. En este sentido, éste estudio es de carácter diacrítico, pues considera relaciones de oposición entre actores sociales. Constituye también un estudio diacrónico, pues trata con distintos períodos, considerando la necesidad de construir una historia de las prácticas de los distintos agentes, en pro de una mejor discriminación ergológica en el registro arqueológico regional. En general, se comparan modelos pre-existentes de movilidad, aprovisionamiento y agencia con los registros ruteros prehispánicos que se presentan. En consecuencia, se avanza y discute un modelo más general y comprensivo de las relaciones sociales, sus modos y sus marcadores materiales, en un espacio que, antes que “vacío”, fue construido densamente por muchas generaciones de personas, de distintas proveniencias, propósitos e identidades culturales. Con ello, se pretende realzar el desarrollo histórico de un proceso social multicultural de gran valor para la comprensión de la diversidad y la diferencia, en el marco más general de los estudios antropológicos y arqueológicos andinos.

Published: April 2022

The article analyzes food security as the most important component of the national security system for providing the country's population with food. According to the authors, national food security is the ability of the national food system to satisfy the scientifically based physiological needs for food of all social groups of the population as much as possible through its own production, provided that these groups are equal in consumption of a minimum sufficient in quantitative terms and a balanced assortment of food products that meets the accepted nutritional and quality standards. It is concluded that the Republic of Moldova, unlike the existing practice, should approach food security in line with generally accepted scientific and practical approaches: ensuring physical and economic access to quality food for all groups and categories of the population.

Published: April 2022

Nowadays, the public-private partnership in contemporary conditions becomes a driver of economic development, a basis for modernization and a factor for increasing the country's competitiveness. That determines the development of infrastructure potential in the form of construction and modernization of a complex of socio-economically significant objects. In the developed countries, being a reality promoted recently, the public-private partnership encompasses intellectual, institutional and organizational resources, and acquires an increasingly important role in integrating the managerial structure in central and local public administrations. The analysis of the configuration of the management of international publicprivate partnership projects, in the conditions of financial and economic instability, highlights the issue of attracting the private sector to participate in the management and financing of socially significant strategic infrastructure projects. In this regard, this article is intended to extrapolate the project management methodology in the context of public-private partnership, the implementation of which can significantly improve the process of managing public-private partnership projects.
Fenomenul corelativ dintre ideologie politică și politici publice
Authors:   Academy of Public Administration, Republic of Moldova, Bot Vadim
Published: April 2022

Political ideology, as an important spiritual and informational resource, designed either to preserve or to change the degree of domination of ideas in the public consciousness, is designated as a true meaning of collective action. At the same time, public policy is the direction of action chosen by public authorities in response to a certain problem or a set of interconnected problems. These actions can be generated and strengthened by certain political ideas. Thus, the relevance of the approach of the researched subject is determined by the need to identify the dialectic between ideology and public policies, in order to deeply understand the aspect of this phenomeno.

Gram (Chickpea) is a major pulse crop of Pakistan mostly grown in the Thall desert Districts of the Punjab Province. All social, cultural, and economic activities of the farming population are mostly dependent on the income from this crop. The present descriptive study deals with the socio-economic condition of Gram’s Farmers and reveals the major reasons behind the low yield of crops. The data was collected from a sample of 100 Gram cultivating farmers taken from 4 Tehsils of District Bhakkar using a convenient sampling technique. The researcher used an Interview schedule for data collection. Findings showed that 83 percent of the total sampled population use 100 % proportion of their land only for gram cultivation and 91 % of farmers were cultivating the gram crop under the Rain-fed irrigation method. The 56 % of respondents were suffering from the low yield of crops for about last 6-7 years and the majority 88 % said that the major reason behind low yield is less and uncertain rains in the area due to climate change.  The net income from 2020-21 crops was less than the farmer’s expenses. The present study confirmed the relationship between climate uncertainty & poor socio-economic condition with a low yield of crops resulting in poor rural development.

Aceclofenac is an effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent with a good tolerability profile through its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties relief in a variety of painful conditions. The objective of the present study was to prepare the mucoadhesive microspheres of aceclofenac. These were developed to reduce the side effects like gastric irritation and to increase the drug bioavailability, to reduce the frequency of dosing and to enhance patient compliance. The microspheres were prepared by orifice-ionotropic gelation method using polymers such as HPMC (K 15 M, K 100 M, 100 cps), Carbopol 940, Sodium CMC, Guar gum, Sodium Alginate, Ethyl Cellulose, Methyl Cellulose and 10% Calcium Chloride solution. Totally 16 different formulations of aceclofenac were prepared by using the above polymers in 1:1 and 9:1 ratios. Finally, the microspheres were evaluated for various characteristics like drug content, encapsulation efficiency, percent mucoadhesive strength and the in vitro release was evaluated for 10 hrs. The Microspheres were institute to be detached, spherical, free-flowing, and of the monolithic matrix type. The microspheres were uniform in size, with a mean size of 73.21 to 98.35µm. The microencapsulation efficiency was in the range of 68% to 86%. Microspheres with a coat consisting of sodium alginate and a mucoadhesive polymer exhibited good mucoadhesive properties in the Ex Vivo wash-off test. Aceclofenac release from the microspheres was slow and depended on the composition of the coat. Release followed zero-order kinetics (R2 =0.971). The order of decreasing release rate observed with various microspheres was F9 > F7 > F1 > F2 > F3 > F10 > F11 > F4 > F12 > F14 > F13 > F5 > F8> F6 > F16 > F15. The differences in the drug release characteristics of various microspheres are due to the differences in the porosity of the coat formed and its solubility in the dissolution fluid.
2-Pyrocatechuic Acid Attenuates Carboplatin Induced Hematological Toxicities in Wistar Rats

Published: April 2022

Hematological toxicity or pancytopenia produced by carboplatin chemotherapy tends to limit the clinical usage of carboplatin as a potent antineoplastic agent. The current investigation was aimed at evaluation of the protective activity of a plant phenolic acid i.e. 2-pyrocatechuic acid (2,3 dihyroxybenzoic acid) against hematological adverse effects induced by carboplatin in Wistar rats. Intraperitoneal injection carboplatin (35 mg/kg) for 6 days resulted in significant alterations in hematological parameters such as decreased red blood cell, hemoglobin, total leukocyte and differential leukocyte counts and increased eosinophil counts in rat blood indicating severe hematological toxicities. Pre and co-administration of 2-pyrocatechuic acid at the doses 10, 30 and 100 with CP significantly attenuated the altered hematological indices in a dose-dependent manner exhibiting its efficacy as a protective agent for the amelioration and prevention of hematological toxicities induced by carboplatin chemotherapy.

Foreign policy means a policy pursued by a nation in its dealings with other nations, designed to achieve its national objectives. This is the same in the case of India also. However, the quintessential strands of India’s foreign policy are peaceful co-existence, non-interference, peaceful resolution of disputes, non-alignment, anti-colonialism, anti-racism, multilateralism, pluralism, general and complete disarmament, opposition to all forms of terrorism, extremism and fundamentalism and pro-development. In recent decades, India has pursued a more expansive foreign policy that encompasses the neighborhood first policy embodied by SAARC as well as the Look East policy to forge more extensive economic and strategic relationships with other East Asian countries. This article has explored the major continuities and changes that had been happened in India’s foreign policy since its independence.
