Air transport system of India
Authors: Tarkhov S.A.
Published: April 2023

An introductory part to a series of papers on the geography of Indian air transport. Its purpose is to summarize and analyze statistical information about the modern air transport system of this country from a geographical point of view. The role of this type of communication in the transport system of modern India is considered. The role of air transport in the transport system of modern India is considered. In 2001–2017 the volume of passenger air traffic in the country has grown 7.5 times. The volume of domestic passenger air traffic is almost 4 times higher than international. There are 3 main airlines with regular flights, 4 low-cost airlines, 7 regional and 14 charter companies. They have 769 civil aircrafts and 71 helicopters. Their fleet is dominated by medium-haul passenger aircraft of the A320 and B737 models, as well as regional ATR 72 and ATR 42 aircrafts. The leading airlines in terms of the share of passengers carried are IndiGo (43%), Spicejet (13%), Jet Airways (12%), Air India (11%). The share of cargo transported by aircraft within the country in 2007–2018 increased slowly (from 23% to 29%), but international cargo still dominated (71%). Since 2017, the Regional Air Connectivity (UDAN) program has been implemented, the main goal of which is to connect by air services regional cities that are poorly served or not yet connected to the national airline network. It involves the creation of new regional air routes with limited fares for air tickets and the expansion of the network of regional airports.
Geography of digital nomad hubs in Thailand
Authors: Sherstneva A.R.
Published: April 2023

Technological progress and the spread of mobile technologies allow people to be independent from the office and work anywhere with the Internet. There are more and more digital nomads who are people taking advantage of remote working to enable a lifestyle of constant traveling. The main centers of attraction for digital nomads are budget destinations with a comfortable climate. This paper represents

the study of digital nomad hubs in Thailand: the cities of Bangkok and Chiang Mai and the resort islands of Phangan and Phuket. The methodology includes content analysis of digital nomads’ posts and spatial analysis of infrastructure for digital nomads, that allows to outline the areas of places where their daily practices take place. The cores of such areas are coworking spaces – their location and attractiveness for digital nomads depends on the urban area type. In resort centers, the location of coworking becomes a determining factor, which can be illustrated by the example of Phuket, where the expat district Rawai turns out to be attractive to digital nomads, whereas noisy tourist areas seem repulsive to them. In large cities such as Bangkok, the highest concentration of coworking spaces is observed in multifunctional urban centers such as Silom and Siam. However, coworking spaces here are more focused on employees of local companies, while digital nomads prefer areas with affordable housing with expats settled, which emphasizes the importance of an appropriate social environment along with the availability of infrastructure.

Climate Change and Water Security: Impacts,Future Scenarios,Adaptations and Mitigations
Authors: Kibria Golam
Published: April 2023

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a framework created by the Kyoto Protocol, was an attempt to link the carbon market and sustainable development objectives in developing countries. Consequently, sequestered carbon is now a globally traded commodity with a huge potential to provide economic returns to land manager. Unlike traditional development models based on deferred and diffused benefit streams, the new carbon-market model offers an opportunity to directly link land management and natural resource conservation with specific and immediate market incentives. Analysis shows that carbon markets can serve a catalytic function in stimulating increased tree planting and improved forest management, thus helping to realize the multiple benefits of forestry and agro-forestry systems. In recent years opportunities for participation in carbon credit trading markets have been growing. The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) now boasts more than six million trades per month. A recent summary of the “State and Trends of the Carbon Market 2006” prepared for the World Bank’s BioCarbon Fund, reports a rapid increase in corporate participation in the carbon market. This book focuses on the concept of CDM and other forestry based Carbon finance mechanisms introduced by UNFCCC and its impact on carbon markets. It also presents a brief analysis of the growth of carbon market in India, its present status and prospects in future. It provides a detailed account of Afforestation and Reforestation CDM Projects including the A/R Project Designed Document by UNFCCC in a simplified yet compact manner for better understanding of the procedure as a reference guide.

Climate Mitigation and Carbon Finance: Global Initiatives & Challenges
Authors: Sahoo A.K.
Published: April 2023

Climate is a vital factor that influences land use, crop quality, its productivity as well as all the other of agricultural systems. The significant impact of climate change is visible on human societies and natural ecosystems around the world. This impact will be more severe on agriculture if global warming continues. As per estimates of IPCC (2014), the agriculture, forestry and other land use contributes 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions need to be reduced to avoid the serious impact of climate change using mitigation measures and adaptation strategies. Currently, unreliable and seasonal variations in weather have emerged as a serious challenge for sustainability influencing vegetation, biodiversity, livestock, soil, water, and other natural resources. In the last decade, more occurrence of extreme weather events affected farming community directly in their agricultural growth. The matter is of great concern to country like India, which require more produce from rainfed fields and shrinking crop land. To understand the problems occurring due to climate change, concerted efforts are required for mitigation and adaptation to reduce the vulnerability of rainfed agriculture and making it resilient. Agricultural output as well as the livelihood of people who depend on it, are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and it is important that we assess adaptation mechanisms to reduce these vulnerabilities. These practices should play a vital role to reduce GHG emissions by improving efficiency of farm inputs and others like agroforestry interventions for green agricultural technologies. Similarly, adoption of conservation agriculture, suitable cultivars, changing sowing dates, irrigation scheduling, and recycling waste water and solid waste in agriculture are some of the options for developing climate resilient agriculture. The book has been divided into major heads as: Climate Change and Indian Agriculture, Climate Change Management Strategies in Agriculture, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Indian Agriculture, New Technologies in relation to Climate Change and with contribution from major research institutes, universities by eminent scientists, faculty members the book will fit into the needs of all concerns.

Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Kang Sang Jun , Kim Jin-Oh
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to propose land-use policy strategies for environmental friendly watershed management for Pyeongtaek Lake. Primary research methods are 1) review of plans related to the land uses around Pyeongtaek Lake, 2) review of concepts about environmental friendly land use methods, 3) examination of relevant cases in South Korea and other countries. After the review of existing plans related to Pyeongtaek Lake and surrounding watershed areas, we found the following: 1) application of growth management strategies for the area undesignated from Pyeongtaek Lake tourism sites, 2) consideration and application of developable areas and incentive-related growth management plan, 3) necessity for management of local run-off and non-point pollution sources for water circulation system in the watershed. Based on the observation we derived the following conclusions: 1) we need land use management strategies especially for residential areas based on Low Impact Development, 2) land use strategies based on the combination of urban planning and institutional tools, 3) application of LID is necessary through incentives and requirement. We advise that due to the limited nature of literature review, further studies from quantitative approaches for environmental friendly land use management strategies are necessary in the future.

Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Kang Sangjun , Kim Jin-Oh
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the ranking relationship between developed area types and PM10 concentration. The study site is 14 local governments in Gyeonggi-do, including Gwacheon, Gwangmyeong, Gwangju, Guri, Gunpo, Namyangju, Seongnam, Suwon, Anyang, Osan, Yongin, Uiwang, and Hanam.
Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) is performed to understand the morphological spatial pattern of the developed area. Each factor derived as a type of developed area is comparatively analyzed to PM10 concentration by using Spearman Correlation Analysis.
The main result is that the rank correlation value between the PM10 concentration and the morphological spatial pattern of developed area is very low or almost non-existent in a highly urbanized area. It implies that it might be difficult to observe a particular relationship between the urbanization rate, morphological patterns, and PM10 concentration in highly urbanized areas. It shows that the universal relationship with PM10 concentration can vary depending on the degree of urbanization of the study site.

Published: April 2023

Background and Objective : The current study reveals the effect of Aluminum (Al) on Amaranthus tricolor L andsubsequent biochemical changes on the plant. In this study, the effect of Al stress on growth and other related antioxidants andenzymes were investigated. Methodology : This was achieved by investigating plant growth parameters (root/shoot length, dryweight) in presence and absence of various concentrations of Al. The antioxidant activity was determined by estimating proline,ascorbate. The effects of scavenging enzymes were determined by Catalase, Glutathion and SOD activity. The accumulation ofAl in root and shoot was determined by FAAS (Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy). Results: Al induced growthretardation observed more in roots (52.2%) compared to shoots (35.3%). Total concentration of proline increased (18 folds)compared to the control. The antioxidants and enzymes exhibited initial increase and subsequent decrease in response to Alstress. Accumulation of Al (by FAAS) was predominantly in root (70.44ppm ± 0.420).Conclusion: Result thus suggested Alinduced growth inhibition in Amaranthus tricolor and the primary affected region is the root. Al accumulation in the roots couldplay an important role in the acclimation of the genotype to Al stress, and could be used as physiological markers for Al-tolerance. Metal induced scavenging mechanism observed both at enzymatic and antioxidant molecular level.

La obesidad de origen central o hipotalámica es una posible complicación debida a craneofaringioma o su tratamiento. Los craneofaringiomas son tumoraciones benignas que, a pesar de ser poco frecuentes, representan 80 % de las neoplasias de la región hipotalámica-hipofisaria, y pueden afectar la calidad de vida de los pacientes por las diversas y frecuentes secuelas, entre ellas obesidad central. En el mecanismo fisiopatológico de este trastorno se encuentran implicados los núcleos hipotalámicos responsables del apetito y metabolismo basal del organismo. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 15 años de edad, con índice de masa corporal de 48 kg/m2 y diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en tratamiento, quien es referido a nuestro centro hospitalario por presentar un cuadro agudo de náuseas y vómitos, así como la presencia de diversos síntomas neurológicos. La exploración física reveló obesidad generalizada importante, cuello corto, marcada acantosis a nivel cervical y pliegues de flexión, leve edema bimaleolar, criptopene de 8 cm y testículos Tanner IV asimétricos. Posteriormente, se estableció el diagnóstico de craneofaringioma tras considerar los antecedentes personales del paciente, los hallazgos clínicos y los estudios de laboratorio e imagen solicitados. Gracias a la intervención quirúrgica oportuna, se logró mejoría clínica y laboratorial importante en las citas de control quedando como secuela obesidad central. El manejo integral de las complicaciones por craneofaringioma optimiza de manera notable la calidad de vida de las personas que padecen este tipo de tumor selar.

Authors: Rivera-Rosas Cristian N. , Calleja-López Jesús R. T. , Duarte-Tagles Héctor , Acuña-Hernández Mariel Alejandra
Published: April 2023

La diabetes mellitus se ha establecido como un problema de salud pública en México debido a su creciente prevalencia y las posibles complicaciones que ésta puede causar. La COVID-19 ha representado un reto para las acciones del sistema de salud, específicamente en cuestión de las medidas de prevención y control a nivel poblacional. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de describir las problemáticas que se han presentado en el sistema de salud pública de México como consecuencia de la interacción entre COVID-19 y diabetes mellitus. El aumento del riesgo de complicaciones graves y mortalidad en pacientes con ambas enfermedades se ha demostrado en varios estudios. Además, la falta de acceso a los medicamentos necesarios, inasistencia a citas médicas continuas, la desinformación y los aspectos psicosociales son factores que han afectado la salud de los pacientes con diabetes mellitus durante la pandemia. Se concluye que se necesitan más estudios sobre la atención integral y el control glicémico en pacientes con diabetes mellitus y COVID-19.

La French Theory comme ruse de l’histoire postmoderne
Authors: Dufour Dany-Robert
Published: April 2023

L’article défend l’idée que les théories philosophiques élaborées en France autour de 1968 ont été reçues aux États-Unis, puis reconfigurées sous le nom de French Theory avant de servir à l’instauration d’une culture néolibérale. En faisant la revue de ces théories, on peut dire que Derrida, qui a été au plus profond de la métaphysique occidentale, aura délégitimé la Loi, toute loi, pour y substituer le principe d’une indécidabilité des normes, ce qui correspond parfaitement au sujet néolibéral ; que Deleuze, en s’opposant au capitalisme « patriarcal » aura préparé la place aux minorités identitaires du capitalisme contemporain ; que Foucault aura non seule-ment critiqué toutes les institutions au moment où le néolibéralisme attaquait l’État, mais aura même vu dans le néolibéralisme un espoir contre la société disciplinaire ; et que les réflexions de Butler vont dans le sens du déni du réel alliant la toute-puissance imaginaire et la croyance aveugle dans les technosciences.
Bruno Latour et la sociologie de l’acteur-réseau : enjeux épistémologiques et ontologiques d’une postmodernité radicale
Authors: Vibert Stéphane
Published: April 2023

La « théorie de l’acteur-réseau » (ANT – Actor Network Theory, ou encore sociologie de la traduction) proposée par Bruno Latour depuis plus d’une trentaine d’années s’avère incontestablement l’une des théories les plus importantes dans les sciences sociales actuelles, portée par une notoriété toujours plus imposante tant dans le monde anglo-saxon que francophone. Sans doute parce que – ce sera là notre hypothèse – elle incarne essentiellement, en sa radicalité propre, l’ontologie postmoderne par excellence, si l’on prend l’expression en un sens purement descriptif, revendiqué par Latour lui-même. Initialement étiquetée comme « programme fort » en sociologie des sciences, accusée de défendre un constructivisme relativiste contre les prétentions de la Raison objective, l’approche latourienne a considérablement enrichi ses objets d’étude au fil des ans, s’intéressant successivement – outre une analyse constante des sciences et des techniques – à la religion, à l’anthropologie, au droit, à l’écologie, ou encore à la politique. La disparité des thèmes ne doit pas masquer une profonde cohérence ainsi qu’une véritable unité de perspective. Si sociologiquement elle peut être comprise comme une « inversion du durkheimisme », refusant à la fois l’existence même de la « société », la méthode objectiviste ou l’origine symbolique du social, elle repose ultimement sur une « ontologie plate », à la fois moniste, actantielle, relationnelle et processuelle, dont il nous faudra déployer les tenants et aboutissants pour mieux en saisir la nature complexe et le pouvoir de séduction. Ce texte entend présenter les grands principes épistémologiques de la sociologie latourienne, afin d’en indiquer les soubassements ontologiques, lesquels possèdent une puissance de vue incomparable, tout particulièrement adaptée au « monde en train de se faire ».
