Impact Of Social Media Influencers’ Credibility on The Purchase Intention: Reference to The Beauty Industry
Authors: R.A.S.D.Rathnayake  , V.G.P. Lakshika
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The role of social media influencers is growing in importance, due to their ability to effectively influence. In addition, marketers have identified Instagram as the most important social media channel for influencer marketing, while the concept of credibility has always been significant in the field of influencer marketing. While a few studies have recently focused on how social media influencers influence consumer purchase behavior, research that specifically focuses on influencer credibility and its impact on purchase behavior is still scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of influencer credibility on the purchase intention of beauty products in Sri Lanka.

Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative study was conducted using the survey method. The sample consists of 150 Instagram users between the ages of 18 and 34 who live in Colombo, Sri Lanka. To empirically test the conceptual model, single and multiple regression analyses were used.

Findings: Results suggest that there’s a positive impact of credibility dimensions towards purchase intention and the most impactful credibility factor towards purchase intention is “trustworthiness”

Originality: This research contributed to the current debates about the credibility of social media influencers. Furthermore, this study focuses on the impact of Instagram influencer credibility dimensions, which is still scarce. So, the current paper fills a gap in the limited existing literature on the credibility of social media influencers on purchase intention, with a focus on the beauty industry in the Sri Lankan context.

Implications: The findings assist marketers and advertisers in the fashion industry in understanding how influencer marketing affects consumer purchase intent. Additionally, this provides important insights to influencers in order for them to be successful influencers.

Keywords: Social media influencers, Influencer Marketing, Instagram Influencers, Influencer Credibility, Beauty Industry.
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Central Arteriovenous Malformations— A Single-Center Experience
Authors: KARAASLAN Burak
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Arteriovenous malformations with basal ganglia, brainstem, and thalamic locations represent difficult vessel anomalies with critical locations. These central aneurysms are related with high morbidity and mortality rates. This retrospective study aims to examine the results of patients with basal ganglia, brainstem, and thalamic arteriovenous malformations remedied with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) at our clinic.

Method: May 2005 - December 2020, the results of patients with GKS basal ganglia, thalamus, and brainstem located AVM were analyzed, in Gazi University Gamma Knife Unit.

Results: May 2005 - December 2020, a total of 859 patients with intracranial AVM were treated at the Gamma Knife Unit of the Gazi University Neurosurgery Clinic. Seventy-three patients with basal ganglia, brainstem, and thalamic locations were seen. Of the total 73 patients included in our study, 14 patients (19.2%) in the basal ganglia, 13 patients (17.8) in the brain stem, and 46 patients (63%) in the thalamic region were located. The mean volume of AVMs is 4565,54 mm3. The patients who underwent embolization before gamma knife surgery treatment were found to be 19.2%. The mean of AVMs' obliteration time after SRS is 38.4 months. We detected that there wasn't a remarkable statistical rate relationship between AVMs volume, Spetzler Martin grading scale, nidus type, gender, and prior embolization (p = 0.05).

Conclusions: GKS is an best choice treatment method used for all AVMs today. However, it has been accepted as the first choice treatment method, especially in central AVMs, which are risky in terms of mortality and morbidity, and the results are also quite good.
RENDERING ENGLISH UNIVERSAL PRONOUNS INTO UKRAINIAN: A CORPUS APPROACH
Authors: Lytvynov Oleksandr O.
Published: January 2023

The paper deals with investigation into the usage of English universal pronouns in contemporary fiction and their rendering into Ukrainian with employment of corpus approach. The universal pronouns under study were selected by the entire sampling method from the complete register compiled on the basis of the novel by J.K. Rowling “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” and its authorized Ukrainian version translated by V. Morozov. There were determined the lexico-semantic characteristics of four English universal pronouns (‘everybody’, ‘everyone’, ‘everything’, and ‘each’) based on monolingual dictionary entries’ analysis. Absolute and relative frequencies (per 1,000 words) of the above pronouns in the analyzed corpus fragment were calculated. The lexeme ‘each’ was found to be the most frequent, with ‘everybody’ being the least frequent. There were identified 12 semantic roles performed by the universal pronouns’ referents in the situations presented in the microcorpus, the agent and experiencer being the most frequent ones. The Ukrainian translation equivalents of the analyzed pronouns were determined based on bilingual dictionary entries’ analysis. By means of immediate constituents’ analysis and contextual analysis, there were described the peculiarities of the pronouns’ usage in the source text. The translation methods and types of translation shifts used for adequate rendering of the pronouns into Ukrainian were specified on the basis of transformational analysis. The most common methods of rendering the universal pronouns into Ukrainian were proved to be equivalent translation (65%), omission (21%) and lexical substitution (14%) (grammatical shifts and addition inclusive).
MACHINE TRANSLATION FOR POST-EDITING PRACTICES
Authors: Povilaitienė Milda , Kasperė Ramunė
Published: January 2023

It has been proven in many quality-focused studies that machine translation output in some language pairs is still far from publishable (Koponen, 2016). Even so, post-editing has become a daily practice among translators and translation service providers, especially with language pairs where machine translation demonstrates good human parity. The fast development of machine translation and its quality improvement have led to a growing demand of post-editors. This study attempts to evaluate the quality of the most popular machine translation tools for the Lithuanian language in order to find the correlation between the results of automatic quality estimation (i.e., the BLUE score), human / manual evaluation of machine translation output quality following the multidimensional quality metrics (MQM) and the most common machine translation engines used by freelancers and language service providers.

The conclusions are based on the findings of a survey and the automatic vs human / manual machine translation quality analysis. The findings demonstrate and support previous research that automatic machine translation quality estimation may not be taken for granted. Human / manual machine translation quality evaluation is still a better indicator whether a machine translation tool fits the purpose of translation. The study brings to the fore some insightful findings that may be beneficial for translator and post-editor trainers from the pedagogical perspective as well as for translation industry from the practical perspective.
INVOLUTION OF NEGATIVE CONCORD IN EARLY MODERN ENGLISH: A SOCIOLINGUISTIC ASPECT
Authors: Semenenko Halyna M.
Published: January 2023

The paper studies the history of multiple negation in English. The historical development of negation markers follows Jespersen’s Cycle and includes five completed stages that cover the transfer from the [+NC] model in Old English via [-NC]/[+NC] in Middle English and Early Modern English to [+NC] in Present-Day English. The loss of negative concord in the Early Modern English period was due to a change in the deep structure of the propositional negation. Northern dialects, where contacts with the Scandinavian languages were the most intensive, are a possible source of accelerating the emergence of the rule for non-use of multiple negation in English. However, in the Early Modern English period there is a shift in the leaders of language change, the proponents of the rule being men occupied in professional activities at the royal court in London, especially those who tried to improve their social status, so the involution of multiple negation is a language change ‘from above’. The process was completed in the newly created English standard before the end of the 17th century, although in some non-standard variants, multiple negation continues to be the norm even at present. Prescriptive grammars of the 18th century, therefore, required the use of forms that had already become the usual means for negation marking for the speakers of “standard” English in the previous two centuries.

Published: January 2023

No presente artigo é apresentado um relato do desenvolvimento de conteúdos de química na abordagem por projeto, realizado com alunos do primeiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública, procurando demonstrar a contribuição da aprendizagem baseada em projetos a partir do tema “resíduos sólidos”. Esse tema foi escolhido por ser considerado um dos maiores causadores da degradação ambiental e, portanto, de grande relevância social. A metodologia teve um perfil descritivo, qualitativo e exploratório com trabalho de campo para observações. A análise de dados foi através de questionários e depoimentos dos participantes do estudo. Após análise dos dados pôde-se confirmar a contribuição significativa da aplicação desse tipo de projeto para os alunos, que demostraram maior interesse pela disciplina de química. Durante o desenvolvimento do projeto, constatou-se que o uso de “projetos temáticos” é um recurso didático que contribui para um aprendizado contextualizado. Isso faz com que os alunos tenham uma interação maior nas atividades apresentadas e, assim, às relacione com os seus conhecimentos prévios e adquiridos, o que rompe com a visão compartimentada e fragmentada do processo de ensino-aprendizagem.

O Programa Mulheres Mil foi desenvolvido pelo Governo Federal, em 2011, na tentativa da promoção da equidade, igualdade entre sexos, combate à violência contra mulher e acesso à educação. Nos tempos de pandemia causada pelo vírus da COVID 19, a situação das mulheres piorou ainda mais por causa do isolamento social obrigatório, fazendo com que mulheres que estavam empregadas perdessem o emprego, causando dificuldades familiares, tanto social quanto econômica, em 2020 e 2021. Pensando em minimizar a situação o curso de tingimento natural seria uma forma de ajudar algumas mulheres a saírem deste estado de vulnerabilidade. O objetivo do curso foi ensinar a técnica simples e barata afim de tingir e estampar tecidos para posteriormente serem transformados em peças e acessórios únicos e exclusivos criando oportunidades de trabalho para mulheres em vulnerabilidade social como uma alternativa de renda familiar. O tingimento natural através das plantas envolve a combinação de variáveis como: material tintório, calor, fixadores e tempo. É uma técnica ecológica que não polui o ambiente por não utilizar corantes sintéticos não biodegradáveis e não causam alergias aos usuários. A metodologia foi desenvolvida através de aulas teóricas e práticas realizadas no laboratório de físico-química do Campus Manaus Centro do Instituto Federal do Amazonas - IFAM/CMC, desde a purga até o aumento da cartela de cores, finalização da peça e venda na feira de exposição. As mulheres conseguiram vender as peças produzidas e receberam várias encomendas demonstrando que as técnicas de tingimento aprendidas ao longo do curso possuem potencial para geração de renda e melhoria da qualidade de vida.

Published: January 2023

As relações do Estado com a Sociedade são clássicas e atuais e a necessidade de desvendar o surgimento do Estado e as diferenças entre a sociedade de iguais e a sociedade de desiguais. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar as Relações entre o Estado e as Organizações do Terceiro Setor, dentro de um cenário neoliberal. Quanto à operacionalização deste estudo, a Metodologia está baseada em uma revisão da bibliografia descritiva, em periódicos e manuscritos, publicados entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. Neste estudo verificamos que o Terceiro Setor passa a assumir o papel de mediador entre o Estado e o setor privado, uma vez que as Organizações da Sociedade Civil de Interesse Público – OSCIP, atuam na sociedade, onde o Estado não consegue atuar, ou onde se omite em atuar. Os resultados obtidos contribuem para aumentar o conhecimento da temática, que uma vez apoiada na literatura, aponta desafios dessa tipologia de parceria, que estão relacionados principalmente à estabilidade da política social, das parcerias e gestão de pessoas. A conclusão a que chegamos leva-nos a admitir que o Terceiro Setor é uma atividade irreversível e atua como o setor privado, mas com recursos geralmente do Estado e que recebe as responsabilidades sociais que antes eram obrigações do Estado. Consideramos que o Terceiro Setor foi ampliado com total descontrole e que precisa ser monitorado e controlado pelo Estado, principalmente nos casos em que recebe recursos deste Setor, resultado dos impostos pagos pela sociedade.

The rapid development of the Internet has created a new trend for building global corporate connections of cheaper and affordable transport of public packet networks. But such an attractive and cheap solution — the transfer of corporate data over a public network, poses a great threat to the security of the enterprise network, which is especially important for banking information systems. In addition, for corporate networks, the quality of customer service, the provision of a given set of services and guarantees, which can’t always be provided in public networks, is important. For the help of the tunneling technique, the packets of data are transmitted through the globally accessible network, as if behind a great connection. Between the skin pair of the manager, that possessor becomes a kind of tunnel — a safer logical connection that allows you to encapsulate data from one protocol in packages of another. Tunneling allows you to organize the transmission of packets in one protocol in a logical middle, which is a different protocol. Authentication to ensure re-verification of access between nodes and allow or to block the data between them. Encryption guarantees that with limited access to information, nothing can be decrypted. Authentication is the procedure for bringing an individual about those who won, who they think they are. Resolve authentication based on a password and based on a certificate. On the basis of the passwords user or the administrator creates a symbolic password which is saved in the database and encrypted with the correct input of the user password, it will be recognized and allowed access. On the basis of the certificate, we do not change passwords, but in the center of the certificate, the certificate is created and transferred to the correspondent. Call the authentication on the basis of the certificate of victorious great enterprises of that corporation. Encryption - the purpose of ensuring the confidentiality of data that is stored in the computer’s memory, or is transmitted over wired and wireless networks [3]. Also, tunneling, authentication and encryption secure the transfer of data between two nodes, modulating the local network robot.

Digital transformation of the operator’s activity telecommunications based on operational and business support systems
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Mayarash D. G.
Published: January 2023

The main factors increasing the income of telecom operators — the development of new services, improving the quality of services. Revenues of telecommunications network operators also depend on timely response to changes in demand and network efficiency. Therefore, the system of support of operational and business activities of the operator is important, thanks to which it is possible to achieve greater efficiency in the implementation of new services. These systems optimize the operation of telecommunications networks, helping to minimize costs and increase profits. There are currently several trends in the telecommunications market that encourage operators to implement operating systems and business support systems. First, the market for traditional operators is already saturated, so corporate profits are not growing as fast. That is why the issue of improving efficiency is much more important. Second, operators are moving from TDM networks to next-generation networks based on NGN technology. And because NGN technologies are more complex in the operation and delivery of services, the question arises about the importance of implementing operating systems and business support systems at the planning stage of the network concept using NGN. Today, operators also often prefer to outsource network management services, as it is unprofitable for each individual operator to purchase the same solutions from the same providers. Implementation of operational and business support systems is aimed at streamlining the management processes of operators, namely the processes of operation and maintenance, optimization of processes according to criteria selected in accordance with the objectives of the customer. Therefore, failure to establish criteria for management and operation can lead to the failure of a component and significantly affect the speed, quality or reliability of the service.
Using Circuit Breaker in software with microservice architecture
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Tushych A. M.
Published: January 2023

Microservices is an architectural style in which one program is created as a set of small programs, each of which works in its own process and interacts with others using simple and fast data transfer protocols. In addition to many advantages, this method of designing an architecture has an important disadvantage: if the system runs many separate services, any software node can fail and cause a cascade of errors. To prevent the spread of cascading termination of microservices, Circuit Breaker is used — a library of fault tolerance, which describes the strategy of preventing cascading failure at different levels of the program and monitors the methods of unsuccessful calls to relevant services. The library will keep failures down to a certain threshold. In addition, it leaves the chain open. This means that all subsequent calls will be redirected to the backup method to prevent future failures. This creates a temporary buffer for the associated service to restore the fault state. The architecture of the microservice should provide for errors, but Circuit Breaker is designed for less expected errors, which can last much longer: network failure, service failure, hardware, and so on. In these situations, when we try to send a similar request again, we will most likely get a similar error. The paper describes the schemes of using Circuit Breaker and recommendations for correct operation.
AGROECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS MIGRATION FROM CATCHMENT AREA SOILS OF POSVITSKÉ LAKE (VOLYN POLІSSIA)
Authors: Zubkovych Ivan
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the ecological status of the catchment areas of Volyn Polіssia lakes, which are formed under the influence of agricultural natural resource management, that leads to organic, chemical pollution and eutrophication of lake reservoirs. From the point of view of the development of the strategy of balanced natural resource management of the lake-basin systems (LBS) of Volyn Polіssia, such searches are relevant. The purpose of the article is to carry out the agro-ecological assessment of migration of biogenic elements, mobile forms of heavy metals and radionuclides in soils of the microcatena of the model catchment area of Posvitské lake foroptimization of agricultural natural resource management. The results of the study are based on seasonal semi-stationary studies (2017–2019) by the author and laboratory diagnostics of field materials. The results of the research. Based on the materіals of Earth remote sensing using GIS technologies (ArcMap 10.3 software package), a cartographic model of the spatial and typological structure of the LBS lands of Posvitské lake has been created. The current ecological status has been determined and the economic development of the LBS has been assessed. The results of chemical investigations of the soils of the microcatena of the catchment areahave been analyzed. Models of lateral migration of biogenic elements (N, P2O5, K2O,) and cesium-137 radionuclide have been constructed. The agro-ecological assessment of the processes of lateral and radial migration of biogenic elements – easily hydrolyzed nitrogen (N), mobile forms of phosphorus (P2O5), exchangeable potassium (K2O), as well as mobile forms of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Co, Mn, Pb, Cd) cesium-137 within the soil-geochemical catena of the catchment area has been made. Conclusions. The decrease of the concentration of biogenic elements along the radial profile of the majority of soil sections of the microcatena has been determined. An increase of the content of biogenic elements in the superciliary facies (up to 0.2 m in depth) of the geochemical microcatena and in bottom sediments (0-0.40 m) of the reservoir has been revealed. The catchment area ofPosvitské lake is characterized by optimal geo-ecological status and the degree of economic development of the catchment area is very low. The local governments within the lake catchment area need to regulate the intensity of cattle grazing. Measures should be taken to prevent the eutrophication of the lake from the western part of the ater area. Further research should be focused on agro-ecological monitoring of the integrated LBS.

Published: January 2023

The article deals with the positive and negative effects of reservoirs functioning as integral elements of rivers water ecosystems. There are 12 reservoirs operating in the Rivne region with overall volume of 47.8 million m3. Khrinnyky reservoir on the river Styr is one of the largest reservoirs with a volume exceeding 10 million m3. It was built in 1957 in order to provide the embedded in the dam body hydroelectric power plant with 960 kW capacity, as well as for recreational and fishery purposes. The reservoir area is 1830 hectares, the depth varies from 2 to 6 meters, in the pits andriver beds – up to nine. During the period of its existence, the reservoir has been activated several times. Since the water of Khrinnyky reservoir is used by a significant part of the population for fishery, household and recreational needs, the quality of the water environment has been analyzed on the basis of laboratory control results. Comparison of the available hydrochemical data on the surface water quality of the Khrinnyky reservoir with the maximumpermissible concentration is not relevant, however, at that time the excess was recorded by such indicators as BOD5, iron, zinc. Analysis of the research results suggests that the reservoir has a significant positive impact on the quality of water in the water courses on which they are created, primarily due to sedimentation processes. It should be noted that the Khrinnyky reservoir, after water discharge, was filled with water without first removing the residues of higher aquatic vegetation with the dominance of tall –growing helophytes. As a result, specific hydrochemical and hydrobiological conditions were formed and, for several years afterwards, the breath of hydrobionts was observed in the summer due to the decay of the flooded biomass. In order to ensure a favorable status of the water environment of the Khrinnyky reservoir in modern conditions, it is necessary to regulaterecreational activities and management with in the water protection zone and the coastal strip. Assessment of water quality, analysis of sediment status is the primary ask of monitoring the status of reservoirs and their impact on rivers.

The Riau Archipelago, which consists of islands, has its own challenges in terms of infrastructure and transportation development, so that the development and growth of each region is not the same, namely with five regencies and two municipalities. The Riau Archipelago has high potential in its tourism sector because each island has its own beauty and exoticism. Tanjungpinang City as the Capital of the Province in the past decade has begun to develop and organize itself to be better in regional order but not yet in its transportation system. Public transportation has not been felt as a very important thing because people can still walk freely by using their private vehicles. Public transportation is still not a matter of urgency in the next decade. This research is a descriptive research, descriptive research is a type of research whose purpose is to present a complete picture of a social setting or is intended to explore and clarify a phenomenon or social reality, by describing a number of variables related to the problem and units studied among the phenomena being tested. Here it will be explained based on a study of the factual conditions of transportation in Tanjungpinang City and their relevance in the next decade.

The Wild Side: Hunting Guanacos in Patagonia
Authors: Soluri John
Published: January 2023

This article examines the twentieth-century history of guanaco hunting in southern Patagonia in order to call attention to the significance of commercial hunting in the industrial age. Guanacos, an American camelid related to llamas, are the largest herbivore inhabiting the semi-arid steppe lands of Patagonia. In the nineteenth-century, indigenous Aónikenks traded quillangos, a cape-like garment made from the soft fur of juvenile guanacos, with colonial settlers. The rapid expansion of export-oriented sheep ranching beginning in the 1880s gave rise to a new social ecology based on the violent displacement of Aónikenk and Selk'nam forager/hunters, the introduction of an exotic ungulate and the use of seasonal, migrant labor. I trace the transformation of commercial guanaco hunting from an Aónikenk-dominated activity to one carried out by migrant hunters and small-scale traders who exported guanaquitos, the undressed furs of juvenile guanacos. Drawing on evidence from both Argentina and the United States, I document the hunting and export of millions of guanaquitos between the 1920s and the 1980s. I conclude by suggesting that the persistence of guanacos today is largely due to a decline in sheep ranching in addition to changes in fashion, and Argentina's participation in international conventions to protect wildlife. The recent history of guanacos suggests that rather than thinking of hunting, habitat loss and consumption as separate threats to wildlife, they are best thought of as entangled components that together have shaped modern histories of people and animals.
Globale Ungleichheiten avant la lettre: Theoretische Genealogien und radikale Kritik
Authors: Boatcă Manuela
Published: January 2023

In dem Artikel argumentiere ich, dass die Weltsystemanalyse entscheidend dazu beigetragen hat, die theoretischen und methodologischen blinden Flecken der Soziologie aufzudecken und einen umfassenden Rahmen für die Untersuchung globaler Ungleichheiten zu formulieren. Damit nahm sie sowohl die Kritik an Eurozentrismus und methodologischem Nationalismus, die von transnationalen und postkolonialen Ansätzen vorgebracht wurde, als auch die Debatten über die Zunahme globaler Ungleichheiten um mehrere Jahrzehnte vorweg. Ich führe diese analytische Vorrangstellung auf mehrere Faktoren zurück: erstens auf die methodologische Verschiebung der Weltsystemanalyse als einer Form von früher globaler Soziologie vom Nationalstaat zur gesamten kapitalistischen Weltwirtschaft; zweitens auf die Beziehung zwischen der methodologischen Verschiebung und der epistemologischen Kritik und ihrer Rolle in Wallersteins frühem Ansatz zu globalen Ungleichheiten. Schließlich gehe ich auf das Verhältnis zwischen der Selbstdefinition der Weltsystemanalyse als einer Form des Protests gegen die Mainstream-Sozialwissenschaft (und nicht als einer Theorie) und den theoretischen und politischen Verflechtungen mit postkolonialen und dekolonialen Ansätzen ein, um zu zeigen, wie sie gemeinsam zur Prominenz des Themas der globalen Ungleichheiten beigetragen haben.

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia have increasingly been conceived of as “complex diseases of aging”, determined by multiple, simultaneous, interacting pathophysiological processes. The condition known as frailty is a phenotype of aging and its comprehensive pathophysiology is thought to be closely related to the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the exacerbation of dementia.

Objective:

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the multicomponent drug, ninjin’yoeito (NYT), on frailty in MCI and mild AD patients.

Methods:

This study was an open-label trial. A total of 14 patients, including 9 with MCI and 5 with mild AD, were enrolled. Among them, 11 were frail while 3 were prefrail. NYT (6–9 g/day) was administered orally for 24 weeks, and assessments were carried out at baseline (week 0), and at 4, 8, 16, and 24 weeks.

Results:

In the primary endpoint, significant early improvements were observed in the anorexia scores according to the Neuropsychiatric Inventory after four weeks of treatment with NYT. The Cardiovascular Health Study score was significantly improved, and no frailty was observed after 24 weeks. The fatigue visual analog scale scores also significantly improved. The Clinical Dementia Rating and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores remained at baseline levels during the NYT treatment period.

Conclusion:

The results suggest that NYT may be effective in the treatment of frailty, especially for anorexia and fatigue, in both MCI and mild AD patients, which would be beneficial for the prognosis of dementia.
System Performance Evaluation for Tea Plants Replacing Sprinkler with Drip Irrigation using Water Uniformities in Dooars, India
Authors: Das Mantu , Das Subhasish , Mazumdar Asis
Published: January 2023

Tea gardens are facing water scarcity; moreover, their irrigation utilises overhead sprinklers, which lack uniformities and controlled irrigation methods. Evaluating the performance of drip irrigation is an important research area for better water resources management. To address these issues different drip irrigation methods have been experimented with having different combinations of drippers. Two plots are online drip systems while the other two are inline systems operated at the same pressure on water application uniformity while other conditions remain similar. Earlier studies witnessed experimentation of drip irrigation with only the same emitter flow. While in this research, the uniformity coefficient, emission uniformity and performance index are calculated. It is found that due to various dripper discharges and systems the water application significantly changes. Extreme values of discharge variation of the emitters were observed during field operations under the same pressure and length of laterals. From the evaluation of the uniformities and investment cost, the performance of an inline system with a 4 lph dripper at 60 cm with 1-m lateral spacing is found to be the best model for tea irrigation under the specified conditions. Later stage and further research efforts should be aimed at the findings of the efficiencies and yield response of tea under the four drip systems.
Challenges and Prospects of Flood Early Warning Systems: A Study of Narayani Basin
Authors: Pandey Chandra Lal , Basnet Anoj
Published: January 2023

Floods are the most dangerous and detrimental hazards in Nepal. Communities inhabiting the Narayani basin are getting affected by floods every year. However, no studies have been conducted to analyze the existing early warning system’s functional capacity and community feedback. Literature on disasters and calamities indicates that an efficient and effective flood early warning system is crucial for making communities flood resilient but we note that unless ‘community capacity for response’ is also strengthened, early warning technology alone cannot protect against losses and damages. Employing a qualitative approach, we explored the existing status of a community-based flood early warning system, and the challenges and prospects of these technologies for building flood-resilient communities in the Narayani basin of Nepal. We found that the existing warning system in the basin is fragmented, unreliable and cannot contribute to building flood-resilient communities. This study concludes that making communities flood resilient, at least, needs five components inclusive of the installation of more reliable early warning technologies; promotion of community-based early warning systems; timely communication of early warning alerts; training on preparedness and response; flood and climate-proof livelihood options.
