The Beginning of the Brest Unitarian Process in the Light of Modern Theological Reflections on Uniticism
Authors: Shevchenko Vitaliy
Published: November 2018

Surprisingly, the fact is that despite the well-studied sources of sources as well as the large number of studies devoted to the Union of Brest, this phenomenon of church-religious life of Ukraine at the end of the seventeenth century and is still perceived ambiguously. At the same time, the sharply negative attitude to this fateful event on the part of the Orthodox spheres was and remains predominant. Suffice it to recall that I. Franko's Brest union was "a fruit of betrayal of the people and father's faith, fatal for Russia, and for Poland as a result of Jesuit intrigues," but according to class-ideological approaches of Soviet times, was considered "the main form of Catholic expansion on Ukrainian lands » Contributions made by the recent scientists to the interpretation of this significant event, too, do not inspire particular optimism, causing misunderstandings, and with them a lot of questions of the most different property.
The Evolution of the Uniateism Doctrine in the Context of the Vatican's Eastern Policy at the End of the 19th and early 21st Centuries
Authors: Bystrycka Ella
Published: November 2018

The desire to overcome the split of Christianity in 1054, which laid the foundations for the formation of two religious systems - proclamation and Catholicism, initiated the signing of the Lyons (1274), the Ferraro-Florentine and Berestea Unions, which created a special model of the Church. Subsequently, such Churches felt the pressure of Romanization, which further strengthened the Orthodox persuasion of the desire of the Apostolic See to subordinate the Orthodox Church. The mutual alienation between the Catholics and the Orthodox was deepened in the eighteenth century, when the Congregation for the Spread of Faith by the special decree in 1729 banned "communication in sacris" (joint worship and participation in the Holy Sacraments). The doubts of the Catholics in the grace of the Orthodox churches had a reciprocal reaction from the patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria and Jerusalem, who in 1755 issued a joint statement calling them heretics all who were outside the Orthodox Church.
The fruit of the Brest Union in the context of the axiological interests of Ukrainians
Authors: Nedavnya Olga
Published: November 2018

Obviously, it is about the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. I, the author of the article, suggest looking at her, taking into account all her hypostasis (as the Church of the Kiev Tradition as one of the Churches of the Ukrainian people), its ritual and organizational peculiarities, but to focus on how this Church performs one of the functions that are inherent in religious systems and organizations: a value-controlling function, and how this performance correlates with the national interests of Ukrainians.

Letter to the Georgian Orthodox "Ukraine has the right to its Ukrainian Local Orthodox Church"
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii M.
Published: November 2018

Nowadays there are practically no political empires in the world: they have disintegrated. In the ruins of the former communist empire of the Soviet Union, our Ukraine became independent even in 1991. Who would have thought that the Ukrainian people, who for centuries had been taunting about its unbreakable fraternal union as if from a half-Russian people, suddenly decided to stay away from this "brother". Our 350-year-old colonial existence has come to an end.
Religious understanding of relationship between science and religion as a dialogue of worldwides

The question of the attitude and perception of some denomination of the achievements of scientific knowledge has a long history. Theologians have always sought to eliminate science from the sphere of spiritual life. However, nowadays, as this article testifies, the theologians aspire to put science for ourselves in a different way, to prove the possibility of a dialogic coexistence of science and religion.

The antinomy "man-woman" in the personal perspective of the formation of the individual religiosity of the Orthodox believer
Authors: Kulagina-Stadnichenko Hanna
Published: November 2018

In this article "The antinomy "man-woman" in the personal perspective of the formation of the individual religiosity of the Orthodox believer" by Anna Kulagina-Stadnychenko explores the antinomy of the phenomenon of "manwoman" from the point of view of theology and secular science, examines the peculiarities of its functioning at the level of individual religiosity of the Orthodox believer and in the Ukrainian context. Attention is drawn to several challenges that have always been the cornerstone of the collision of alternative thoughts in solving the antinomy "man-woman." The significance of the latter for the Orthodox believer in view of finding the meaning of life, which is due to awareness of the individual finale of the person. It is shown that the category of reciprocity remains universal for the phenomenological understanding of the meaning of gender. However, unlike secular approaches, apologists of Christianity prefer to talk about the formation of gender identity, and not to look for differences between sexes. Instead, a scientific approach clearly distinguishes the gender identities. It was investigated that the distribution of gender roles is significantly influenced by cultural and religious traditions. Regarding the influence of Orthodoxy on the solution of antinomy "man - woman" in the formation of the individual religious faith of a believer in Ukraine, here the author defines certain features. Finally, it is argued that religious pluralism, the temporary integration of certain parts of Ukraine into other Western European states, led to the inclusion of different ideological models into the individual religiosity of an Orthodox believer, practically made it impossible for a strict patriarchal dependence, and thus, reduced the relationship between "man-woman" through more partnerships.
Mykola Zakovych as a Theoretician of Ritualism
Authors: Kyselov Oleh
Published: November 2018

In the article of O. Kyselov «Mykola Zakovych as a Theoretician of Ritualism» the academic works of the Soviet period of professor Mykola Zakovych (1931-2017) devoted to ritualism are examined. The author explores definitions of key concepts and correlation between rituals and similar phenomena – ceremony, festival, tradition, and custom. It is noted that professor Zakovych often wrote not just about rites, but about “rites and festivals” because rites were integral part of festivals. The author of the article pays his attention to the problem of the evolution of ritualism and its understanding through the categories of “form” and “substance”. The place of religious rites in the evolution of ritualism and its critique are paid examined. Zakovych was one of the first scholars who focused on aesthetical and psychological effect of religious rites. The article revealed Zakovych’s explanation of the short-lasting “red ritualism” in the 1920’s.. Zakovych’s understanding of Soviet ritualism and its atheistic function are observed. The author of the article concludes that Zakovych’s academic works could be actualized not only in the academic study of religion but in the governmental policy of Ukraine as well.

The current state of the project "Russkyi mir" and the consequences of its implementation in Ukraine
Authors: Hurzhy Volodymyr
Published: November 2018

In the author's article Volodymyr Hurzhy "The current state of the project "Russkyi mir" and the consequences of its implementation in Ukraine" interprets the project "Russian measure" as a new form of the Russian national idea, which always had a relational-mythological core and was associated with ideas about choices Russian people. From the ideological point of view, the doctrine of the "Russkyi mir" is an option of a religiously motivated ideology appealing to the Orthodox values, specifically meaningful Russian history, the Russian language as a marker of the territories to which the project is directed. These parameters make it possible to identify the "Russkyi mir" doctrine as one of the options for post-secular global religious-political projects. The vast majority of Soviet rituals and practices were "absorbed" by the "Russkyi mir" and continue to be preserved and function in modern Russia in the 21st century in a re-imagined form. But now, with the loss of sacrality of the first of the key Soviet holidays - the Day of the October Revolution - the function of "the beginning of a new world" took over the holiday of the Victory Day (May 9). This function is enshrined in the collective memory of the people through the annual military parades, the historical reconstruction of the key battles of the Second World War, the spread and consolidation in the public consciousness of the thought of determining the role of the Russian people in gaining victory over Hitler's Germany as an absolute evil. Constantly reproducing an existentially marginal situation, the state affects the key need of its citizens in the sense of global security. These representations in total show new technologies for the deployment of conflict situations, based on global competition in the plane of values.

Marx and the “law of value”: Critical appraisal on the occasion of his 200th birth anniversary
Authors: Kurz H. D.
Published: November 2018

The paper celebrates Karl Marx’ 200th birthday in terms of a critical discussion of the “law of value” and the idea that “abstract labour”, and not any use value, is the common third of any two commodities that exchange for one another in a given proportion. It is argued that this view is difficult to sustain. It is also the source of the wretched and unnecessary “transformation problem”. Ironically, as Piero Sraffa has shown, prices of production and the general rate of profits are fully determined in terms of the same set of data from which Marx started his analysis.
Time Series Modeling of Inflation and its Volatility in Croatia
Authors: Živko Igor , Bošnjak Mile
Published: November 2018

Croatian National Bank is not targeting inflation but exchange rate as the nominal anchor or intermediary goal of monetary policy and inflation
in Croatia is a dominantly foreign driven phenomenon. Using monthly data on CPI in Croatia from January 1997 up to November 2015, ARIMA (0,1,1) x (0,1,1)12 model is fitted as the one describing CPI behavior pattern and therefore reliable for CPI forecasting. Furthermore, to establish its volatility pattern several ARCH family models are tested and ARCH (1) model is found to be the best fitted one in explaining CPI volatility development in Croatia.

Authors: Beg Marija , Mergl Domenika
Published: November 2018

In the public discourse of transition economies, as well as in scientific literature focused on their functioning, there is still an active debate on whether privatization should be encouraged in view of its effects on the economy. In the context of the effects of privatization on employment, this paper focuses on labor market developments in Croatia. The primary emphasis is on the analysis of employment by activity and ownership type. The main aim of the paper is to determine the impact of privatization, i.e. the growing share of private ownership, on employment in Croatia. The estimate is conducted using the OLS method in the EViews statistical package. The results of the econometric analysis indicate that the increase in the share of private property leads to an increase in employment. In view of the results obtained it is recommended to further reduce the high share of state ownership in the Republic of Croatia.
Modeliranje poslovno – ekonomskih strategija kao platforme investicijske politike u uvjetima rizika
Authors: Landika Mirjana , Šupuković Vedran
Published: November 2018

Investment policy and investing represent essential tasks, and also major issues of almost all socio-economic systems. Investment represents a development platform and is necessary for survival of market and economic systems; it comprises undertaking appropriate measures and activities to have the invested capital continuously increasing through exercising selected operations. Economic indicators, especially in the period of economic crisis, reflect unfavourable and widespread tendencies of unwanted business result that arise from inadequate business policy, where investing and investment policy may be marked as leaders in the area of business failure. Impossibility to accurately assume business results related to the investment, time disproportion between the investment and its initial, and particularly, optimal effects, and also irreversibility of the investment, further complicate the formulation of adequate investment policy strategy platform. Modelling of business strategies in the exposure to turbulent socio-economic, technological and market factors is an inspiration and a challenge to the researcher to representatively mirror the reality by selecting an adequate theoretical model. Faithful mirroring of the reality involves a subtle approach to classification of these factors by importance, level of influence, and also adequate quantifying, identifying and shaping the form, as well as the extent of their interdependence. Mathematical simulation model is a theoretical model that allows prediction of business results in the risk exposure expressed correspondently with the random component that is influencing it. The major concern of the mentioned approach is an adequate selection of the probability distribution of a random variable, customized to the investment conditions. It is necessary here to take into account empiric component of a territorial-geographic area of the investment implementation, whereby it is necessary to have insight into other aspects of distribution selection, such as experiences in the selected investment area (sectoral specificity) and adjustment to particular theoretical model. Simulation of investment effects provides an objective approach to strategic choice and adequate calculation of monetary results before operationalization of the project.
Impact of the agent theory on private and public companies based on the analysis of Croatian health care system
Authors: Sopta Martina , Botički Matej
Published: November 2018

Republika Hrvatska godinama se suočava s izazovom održivosti vlastitog zdravstvenog sustava zbog neučinkovitosti ustanova javne zdravstvene zaštite. Prevladava mišljenje kako uzrok tome leži u samoj strukturi zdravstvenog sustava, koji pruža zdravstvenu zaštitu svim građanima. Ovaj rad nastoji istražiti mogu li javne zdravstvene ustanove biti učinkovitije unatoč samoj strukturi sustava. Osnovna pretpostavka rada je da su javne zdravstvene ustanove neučinkovite zbog utjecaja agencijske teorije. Da bismo ispitali tu pretpostavku, potrebno je usporediti javne i privatne zdravstvene ustanove. Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi postoji li veći utjecaj agencijske teorije u ustanovama javnog zdravstva u odnosu na različiti utjecaj privatnog i javnog vlasništva na metode upravljanja. Metodologija istraživanja odnosi se na financijsku analizu odabranih privatnih i javnih zdravstvenih ustanova. Ispitivanje stručne osposobljenosti ravnatelja u ustanovama pokazalo je da nema velikih razlika u udjelu stručnjaka iz područja ekonomije u privatnim i javnim institucijama. Analiza učinkovitosti temeljena na specifičnim ustanovama pokazala je da su javne zdravstvene ustanove neučinkovitije od privatnih s obzirom na upravljanje troškovima. Na temelju toga zaključak je da je utjecaj agencijske teorije dominantniji u javnim zdravstvenim ustanovama.

Published: November 2018

The relevance of the regional management of the economic sphere due to the existing economic problems in the country, when the regions are responsible for the significant part of the socio- economic obligations to the population. Therefore, proper management of the economy of the region depends on the well-being of the population, development of regional infrastructure, the possibility of further economic growth and development, social stability in society. Sustainable development of regional socio-economic systems is impossible without an adequate level of economic security of the region. The level of economic security of the region is primarily assessment of the socio-economic processes that reflect the essence of economic security, consisting of a set of interrelated indicators. According to most economists, analyzing the economic security issues, forming the basis of this set of indicators acts as a close relationship with the concept of security risk category and category of threat.
“TOP TEN”, CITRA RELASIONAL MANUSIA DALAM “TRIAS ENTITAS” TINJAUAN KRITIS-DIALOGIS PANDANGAN BUBER DAN HEIDEGGER
Authors: Rumyaru Bruno
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT. Human existence shows that there are self-tension and identity crisis. This background displays that
humans have been searching for the answers to their essence and meanings for their own existence. There is a
paradoxical phenomenon in the lives of humans. On one hand, humans have made effort to fulfill their needs and
tendencies through all of their artificially earned achievements and attributes. On the other hand, the various
forms of existential realization have created existential tension. Human existence shows a dilemmatic relaity.
Humans have caused for their own self-alienation. Why does this human existensial paradoxical phenomenon has
to occur? Critical Realism Method used in this qualitative study made effort to answer this central question by
revealing the human ontological-existential image based on the dialogical-critical review on Martin Buber and
Martin Heidegger’s philosophical thoughts. The result of this study emphasizes on human’s relational “Top Ten”,
which eventually leads to the basic principles of “Trias Entitas” as the identity for each human existence.
Cold Exponential Disks from Interstellar Fountains
Authors: Struck Curtis , Elmegreen Bruce G.
Published: November 2018

We present the results of a simple numerical model with phenomenological cloud growth and explosive disruption processes, and with fountain-launched ballistic motions of disrupted cloud fragments out of the disk. These processes generate an effective scattering of gas elements over much larger distances than noncircular impulses in the plane, which are quickly damped. The result is the evolution of the global cloud density profile to an exponential form on a roughly Gyr timescale. This is consistent with our previous results on the effects of star scattering off massive clumps in young disks, and gas holes in dwarf galaxies. However, in those cases the scattering processes generated thick, warm/hot stellar disks. Here we find that the exponential gas disks remain cold. Star formation in this gas would produce a thin exponential stellar disk.

Published: November 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a percepção de agricultores familiares em relação ao Pronaf, em especial sobre os alcances e os desafios relacionados às atividades agrícolas desenvolvidas e ao crédito acessado. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e se configura num estudo de caso, na abrangência de municípios do Oeste catarinense. Reúne elementos empíricos e teóricos com base na literatura e nas informações obtidas na pesquisa de campo, realizada no período de junho a agosto de 2015, com 11 agricultores familiares. Utilizou-se da entrevista individual semiestruturada como instrumento de coleta de dados. Os agricultores familiares entrevistados declaram sobre a importância do Pronaf como política pública de crédito, diretamente para a propriedade e para sua família, considerando: envolvimento político e participação de agricultores nos processos de efetivação do acesso de crédito rural na região; experiências de contratação; oportunidades de melhoria nas condições de trabalho; melhoria das condições do ambiente e vida familiares, pelo acesso a bens duráveis. O acesso aos recursos do Pronaf se torna uma condição para realizar investimentos nas pequenas propriedades, em especial, promover a inclusão socioprodutiva subsidiando os meios de trabalho e de produção. Contudo, trazem consigo preocupações com os riscos de endividamento e com questões burocráticas.

Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Cerebral Oxygenation During Sleep in Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Carlson Barbara W. , Duke James , Jones Kellie R. , Carlson John R. , Craft Melissa A. , Coleman-Jackson Rhonda , Hershey Linda A.
Published: November 2018

The current study examined relationships between laterality in cerebral oxygenation (L-COX), sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and daytime function in 16 adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). All participants underwent two nights of diagnostic polysomnography. Using dual-cerebral oximetry, L-COX was defined by differences ≥4% in right- versus left-sided percent cerebral oxyhemoglobin saturation. Eight patients had SDB. L-COX was found in five patients, but only on nights with SDB. Greater L-COX was associated more severe SDB: higher frequency of apneas + hypopneas per hour (
r
= 0.66,
p
< 0.01), desaturations per hour (
r
= 0.73,
p
< 0.01), and percent time with oxygen saturation <88% (
r
= 0.65,
p
< 0.01). Greater laterality, but not severity of SDB, was associated with poorer functional ability (Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale:
r
= −0.83,
p
= 0.02), lower cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination:
r
= −0.76,
p
= 0.03), and greater daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale:
r
= 0.85,
p
< 0.001). L-COX associated with SDB suggests disruptions in cerebral autoregulation and need for aggressive treatment of SDB in individuals with MCI.

La Madona de Madrid: una donación de Sancho IV al convento de Santo Domingo el Real de Madrid
Authors: Gómez-Chacón Diana Lucía
Published: November 2018

La Madona de Madrid, procedente del desaparecido monasterio de Santo Domingo el Real de Madrid, demolido en 1869, ha sido siempre considerada una donación regia, como consecuencia de los castillos y leones que decoran su peana. Ha sido relacionada con monarcas castellanos como Fernando III, Pedro I y Enrique II, y con personajes próximos a la corona, como sor Constanza de Castilla, atribuyéndole, por lo tanto, una cronología que abarca desde 1219 —año de la fundación del convento—, hasta 1478 —fecha de fallecimiento de la mencionada priora—. Sin embargo, tanto la pertenencia de esta imagen al tipo mariano vasco-navarro-riojano, datado en el último tercio del siglo XIII, como el análisis del patronazgo artístico de Sancho IV y su entorno, señalan a este monarca como posible donante de la imagen.

Locally conformally symplectic and Kähler geometry
Authors: Bazzoni Giovanni
Published: November 2018

The goal of this note is to give an introduction to locally conformally symplectic and Kähler geometry. In particular, the first two sections aim to provide the reader with enough mathematical background to appreciate these geometric structures. The standard reference for locally conformally Kähler geometry is the book Locally conformal Kähler geometry by Sorin Dragomir and Liviu Ornea; many progresses in this area, however, were accomplished after its publication, hence are not covered there. On the other hand, there is no comprehensive reference for locally conformally symplectic geometry and many recent advances lie scattered in the literature. While the tone of this note is rather expository, I propose a (hopefully) exhaustive bibliography, to which the reader is referred for both the precise statements and the techniques used. Section 3 would like to demonstrate how these geometries can be used to give precise mathematical formulations to ideas deeply rooted in classical and modern Physics.
Evaluating the Recent 2+26 Regional Strategy for Air Quality Improvement During Two Orange Air Pollution Alerts in Beijing: variations of PM2.5 concentrations, source apportionment, and the relative contribution of local emission and regional transport

Published: November 2018

Abstract. To comprehensively evaluate the effects of the recent 2+26 regional strategy for air quality improvement, we compared the variations in PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing during four pollution episodes with different emission-reduction strategies. The 2+26 strategy implemented in March 2018 led to a mean PM2.5 concentrations of 16.43 % lower than that during the pollution episode in March 2013, when no specific emission-reduction measures were in place. The same 2+26 strategy implemented in November 2017 led to a mean PM2.5 concentrations of 32.70 % lower than that during the pollution episode in November 2016, when local emission-reduction measures were implemented. The results suggested that the effects of the 2+26 regional emission-reduction measures on PM2.5 reductions were influenced by a diversity of factors and could differ significantly during specific pollution episodes. Furthermore, we found the proportions of sulfate ions decreased significantly and nitrate ions were the dominant PM2.5 components during the two 2+26 orange alert periods. Meanwhile, the relative contributions of coal combustion to PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing during the pollution episodes in March 2013, November 2016, November 2017 and March 2018 was 40 %, 34 %, 28 % and 11 % respectively, indicating that the recent Coal to Gas project and the contingent 2+26 strategy led to a dramatic decrease in coal combustion in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region. On the other hand, the relative contribution of vehicle exhaust during the 2+26 orange alert periods in November 2017 and March 2018 reached 40 % and 54 % respectively. The relative contribution of local emission to PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing also varied significantly and ranged from 49.46 % to 89.35 % during the four pollution episodes. These results suggested that the 2+26 regional emission-reduction strategy should be implemented with red air pollution alerts during heavy pollution episodes to intendedly reduce the dominant contribution of vehicle exhausts to PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing, while specific emission-reduction measures should be implemented accordingly for different cities within the 2+26 framework.

Abstract. Hygroscopicity largely affects environmental and climatic impacts of pollen grains, one important type of primary biological aerosol particles in the troposphere. However, our knowledge in pollen hygroscopicity is rather limited, and especially the effect of temperature has rarely been explored before. In this work three different techniques, including a vapor sorption analyzer, diffusion reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (transmission FTIR) were employed to characterize six anemophilous pollen species and to investigate their hygroscopic properties as a function of relative humidity (RH, up to 95 %) and temperature (5 or 15, 25 and 37 °C). Substantial mass increase due to water uptake was observed for all the six pollen species, and at 25 °C the relative mass increase at 90 % RH, when compared to that at
Replication of ecologically relevant hydrological indicators following
a covariance approach to hydrological model parameterisation
Authors: Visser Annie , Beevers Lindsay , Patidar Sandhya
Published: November 2018

Abstract. Hydrological models can be used to assess the impact of hydrologic alteration on the river ecosystem. However, there are considerable limitations and uncertainties associated with the replication of the required, ecologically relevant hydrological indicators. Vogel and Sankarasubramanian's covariance approach to model parameterisation represents a shift away from the traditional calibration-validation goodness-of-fit paradigm. Using the covariance structures of the observed input and simulated output time-series, the region of parameter space which best captures (replicates) the characteristics of a hydrological indicator may be identified. Through a case study, a modified covariance approach is applied with a view to replicating a suite of seven ecologically relevant hydrological indicators. Model performance and consistency are assessed relative to four comparative studies. The ability of the approach to address the limitations associated with traditional calibration-validation is further considered. Benefits of the approach include an overall reduction in model uncertainty whilst also reducing overall time-demands. Difficulties in the replication of complex indicators, such as rate of change, are in line with prior work. Nonetheless, the study illustrates that consistency in the replication of hydrological indicators is achievable; additionally, the replication of magnitude indices is markedly improved upon.

Abstract. SMAP project released a new enhanced high-resolution (3km) soil moisture active-passive product. This product is obtained by combining the SMAP radiometer data and the Sentinel-1A and -1B Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. The approach used for this product draws heavily from the heritage SMAP active-passive algorithm. Modifications in the SMAP active-passive algorithm are done to accommodate the Copernicus Program’s Sentinel-1A and -1B multi-angular C-band SAR data. Assessment of the SMAP and Sentinel active-passive algorithm has been conducted and results show feasibility of estimating surface soil moisture at high-resolution in regions with low vegetation density (∼ < 3 kg m−2). The beta version of this product is released to public on Nov 1st, 2017. This high resolution (3 km) soil moisture product is useful for agriculture, flood mapping, watershed/rangeland management, and ecological/hydrological applications.

Abstract. LS factor plays a key role in soil erosion risk assessment using widely adopted empirical models such as RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation). The study was carried out to estimate the impact of varying DEM resolutions on LS factor values in a small hilly watershed near Dehradun, India. The impact of various computational algorithms as well as varying slope exponents on LS factor values were also estimated. DEMs of different resolutions such as ASTER (30 m), CARTOSAT (10 m and 30 m), SRTM (30 m) and UAV generated DEM (18 cm) were used for comparison. On comparison, LS factor generated using varying resolution DEMs including UAV generated DEM yielded similar results indicated by similar mean values, even though the maximum values in the study area varied slightly. Use of spatially distributed slope exponent values resulted in higher mean LS factor values from all the DEMs, except UAV generated one, when compared to the use of a constant, slope exponent value. All DEMs except UAV generated DEM, yielded lower LS factor values when multi-flow direction (MFD) algorithm was used for computation instead of single flow direction (SFD). The variations in results when using UAV DEM may be due to its ability to capture the micro topographical variations on the ground, which affects the various computational procedures. The LS factor results obtained using different computational procedures and algorithms needs to be validated using ground collected information of LS factor, for wider acceptability and use by soil erosion and geospatial modelling communities.

Published: November 2018

Abstract. The imaging spectroscopy offers an opportunity to map and discriminate different minerals on the lunar surface which further helps to understand the origin, evolution process, and the crustal composition on the surface of the moon. Compositional mapping of the lunar surface is considered as a standard approach for mineral mapping. This paper reports surface mineralogy of the lunar surface from Mare Vaporum using Chandrayaan-1 Hyperspectral remotely sensed data from HySi sensor. False color composite is created using different band shaping algorithms like band strength; band curve and band tilt parameters at crucial wavelength for spatial analysis. The Spectral analysis has been done by deriving reflectance spectra at varying locations from the area under study. The Study shows the mineral map with different categories of minerals which are high-Ca pyroxene and/or olivine and low Ca-pyroxene. However because of the limited spectral coverage of HySi, data at the longer wavelengths required to discriminate among different group of minerals.

Abstract. Natural Resources extraction for production of goods increases the stress on land and on the environment. Coal Mines are the primary source for energy production. This process increases the continuous deformation on land by disturbing equilibrium beneath the surface. Interferometry techniques have a capability to detect the minute deformation with millimetre precision on the ground using microwave SAR data. The study area covers the largest open cast coal mines of Asia. In this study for minute deformation identification, Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR) technique has been used. Research focuses on the application of PSInSAR technique for terrain deformation detection using 17 SAR scene of Korba, Chhattisgarh, India acquired by the Sentinel-1 satellite of European Space Agency. This technique is capable to monitor the minute deformation in the coal mines of Korba, Chhattisgarh, India. The results predicted that the area is deformed with the velocity up to 30 mm/year in the coal mines and surroundings areas. The PSInSAR technique with the Sentinel-1 data provides the proficient tool for deformation monitoring in coal mines of Korba.

Published: November 2018

Abstract. Urban areas are treated as a single entity by mesoscale urban canopy models (UCM) for assessing the influence of urban morphology on climate. Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) coupled with UCM along with urban physics options to describe the urban features such as Single Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM), Building Energy Parameterization (BEP) and Building Energy Model (BEM) which enumerates the influence of urban features on the local scale other than the bulk parameterization (no urban physics option), which is generally used in most of the operational forecasting models. Besides, WRF model also enables to integrate multi-class Urban Land Use Land Cover (LULC) whereas most of the globally available LULC depict urban area as single urban built-up class. This study aims to analyze performance of high resolution urban LULC and urban physics options for Chandigarh area by downscaling climatic variables up to 1km and its validation with the ground observation data. The inner domain (1 km resolution) was configured with default LULC for one set of simulations and multi-class urban LULC for other set of simulations. All the simulations were carried out for 3 days (August 19–21, 2017) due to computational restrictions by employing all the four urban physics options. It has been found that multi-class urban LULC yielded better results than single class urban built –up simulation when validated with respect to ground observation. The RMSE values for multi-class urban LULC provided less RMSE than single class urban LULC, those are in terms of temperature at 2 m, relative humidity and wind speed are 0.91 °C, 2.63% and 1.82 m/s respectively. Similarly, BEP+BEM urban physics option provided reduced RMSE values than the SLUCM and BEP scheme. The RMSE values in terms of temperature at 2 m, relative humidity and wind speed are 1.11 °C, 4.39% and 2.62 m/s respectively.
