Background: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) management requires continuous monitoring and evaluation based on various methods and models. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis in preventing and controlling the COVID-19. Methods: This study was conducted using directed qualitative content analysis. A total of 15 participants, including 9 patients with COVID-19, a physician, a pharmacist, the head of the department of infectious diseases, a hospital manager, a nurse, and the head of a health center were selected through purposive sampling from May to July 2020. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, each lasting 45 to 60 minutes and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s qualitative content analysis method. Results: The analysis of the data revealed four main categories including the strengths (use of various media, supporting ideals), weaknesses) low understanding of disease risk, lack of vaccines, lack of appropriate tele-education and tele-medicine programs, infrastructural constraints), opportunities (people’s participation, family support, compliance with regulations), and threats (sanctions and poor control, the conflict between doubt and certainty, hidden layers of the disease, corona and social stigma). The internal and external analysis was determined as the main theme. Conclusion: The results suggest that it is necessary to make optimal use of the strengths and opportunities of the COVID-19 crisis and to develop participation and empathy among people in addition to complying with laws and making appropriate use of educational media. In this regard, the strengthening of tele-education infrastructure and transparency in presenting reports and methods for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 can be effective.

Целью работы является измерение возможных изменений в возбуждаемом сейсмическом сигнале и попытке использовать параметрический подход к определению амплитудных искажений в сейсмической записи. Для того чтобы использовать параметрический подход к определению корректирующей фильтрации предлагается сделать предположение о том, что возможные искажения сигнала обусловлены поглощением энергии и описываются линейной функцией в области логарифмического спектра. Такое предположение не противоречит стандартному условию о случайной и не коррелируемой модели импульсной сейсмической трассы. Предлагается искать плавные и коррелируемые изменения формы сигнала, коррекция которых не искажает импульсную характеристику среды и сохраняют в сейсмических трассах информацию о частотной характеристики отражающих пластов. Определение поглощения или добротности (параметр Q) можно выполнять в ограниченном частотном диапазоне, который определяется по анализу спектров сейсмической трассы. Используя построение полосовых фильтров с изменяемым значением добротности можно с помощью подбора найти нужный параметр Q, наилучшим образом корректирующим сейсмический сигнал. Параметры подобранных фильтров предполагается использовать для восстановления сейсмограмм с целью коррекции искажений и получения более широкого спектра сигнала.

The goal of the work is to measure possible changes in the excited seismic signal and attempt to use a parametric approach to determine the amplitude distortions in the seismic record. In order to use a parametric approach to determining corrective filtering, we make the assumption that possible signal distortions are caused by energy absorption and are described by a linear function in the region of the logarithmic spectrum. This assumption does not contradict the standard condition of a random and uncorrelated model of a pulsed seismic trace. It is proposed to look for smooth and correlated changes in the signal shape, the correction of which does not distort the impulse response of the medium and preserves information about the frequency characteristics of reflecting layers in seismic traces. Determination of absorption or quality factor (Q parameter) can be performed in a frequency range, which is determined by analyzing the spectra of the seismic trace. Using the construction of bandpass filters with a variable value of quality factor, it is possible to find the desired parameter Q that best corrects the seismic signal. The parameters of the selected filters are supposed to be used to reconstruct seismograms in order to correct distortions and obtain a wider spectrum of the signal.

Published: October 2024

The emerging infectious disease Covid-19, caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, appeared on 17 November 2019 in the province of Hubei (in central China), before spreading throughout the world due to the importance of international mobility. Since its appearance in Côte d'Ivoire on 11 March 2020, this epidemic has been gaining momentum in Ivorian cities, particularly in sensitive and densely populated environments such as prisons. However, little qualitative research exploring the point of view of incarcerated people has been conducted in Côte d'Ivoire. It therefore seemed necessary to carry out a study with the objective of documenting the experience and perception of covid-19 by prisoners in the prisons of Daloa and Tiassalé.Within the framework of this study, the methodological tools dedicated to broad exploratory research were recommended. Thus, a qualitative analysis of the data from the individual interviews with the participants made it possible to identify their experience and perception of the Covid-19. Analysis of the survey data shows that, at the time of the surveys, no prisoner had been tested for Covid-19 in the various prisons in Tiassalé and Daloa. Only 15% of prisoners had been tested for Covid-19 in Tiassalé prison, compared with 27% in Daloa prison. The vaccination coverage rate in both prisons is 98%. The three types of vaccine administered to prisoners are Astra Zeneca, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer. In Tiassalé prison, 57% of inmates said that the first thing they would do if they were in the presence of a person showing signs of coronavirus disease was to isolate them. At the Mac de Daloa prison, inmates stated that the first action they would take if they were in the presence of a person showing signs of coronavirus disease is to warn a prison guard (66%). In terms of prisoners' knowledge of the causes of Covid-19 contamination, 75% of all respondents had a good knowledge of the causes of coronavirus contamination. Erroneous knowledge of the modes of transmission of the infection was frequent in 61.5% of all prisons. The main source of information and knowledge for prisoners is the social services.

From Real to Reel: A Study of the Biopics of Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath
Authors: Mitra Dr. Poulomi
Published: October 2024

The biopic has emerged as a popular mode of film making in contemporary culture. As such it deserves greater critical attention than it has so far received. Like its literary counterpart—the biography, the biopic too is a fascinating but complex and hybrid genre interlacing the ‘real’ and the ‘reel’. The paper shall attempt to bring forth the significance of biopic in the contemporary age by looking at the cultural implications of adapting woman authors—Virginia Woolf in the 2002 film, The Hours and Sylvia Plath in the 2003 film, Sylvia. The objective of this research is to study the significance of the biopic in the contemporary age vis-à-vis the cultural implications of adapting the woman author from ‘real’ to ‘reel’. It is pertinent to note that adaptations of the author, from real to reel, carry inflections arising from the adaptor’s gender and socio-cultural position. What further complicates matters in case of adapting the author is that the process of adaptation distorts the sequence of reception. While the adaptation of texts release multiple often fertile interpretations of the original text, the adaptation of the author, generally produces versions which satiate commercial concerns of mass entertainment thereby frustrating the original expression of the creative writer, overshadowing it with the veil of popularity.

Authors: Singh Upasana
Published: October 2024

Since the liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991, profound changes have occurred in the structure of urban economies and labor markets. This paper examines the effects of these economic policies on internal migration patterns, the development of urban economies, and labor conditions in India. It highlights how liberalization, privatization, and globalization (LPG) have reshaped urban labor markets, leading to the growth of the informal sector and new forms of labor exploitation. By incorporating a Marxist perspective, the paper argues that these economic transformations have intensified class struggles, heightened socio-economic inequalities, and perpetuated structural disparities. Additionally, it explores the lived experiences of migrant workers, the dynamics of urban labor, and the socio-political consequences of these changes.
