Melimpahnya kayu bakar yang tersedia di alam mengalahkan program konversi bahan bakar yang dicanangkan pemerintah beberapa tahun lalu. Secara ekonomis bahan bakar kayu lebih hemat biaya, dari pada bahan bakar yang lain. Peneliti ingin mengetahui seberapa besar penghematan yang diperoleh jika memproduksi menggunakan bahan bakar kayu dibandingkan dengan bahan bakar gas LPG. Pengujian dilakukan selama kurang lebih 6-7 jam secara terus menerus. Diperoleh kelemahan dan kelebihan masing-masing bahan bakar yang digunakan. Hasil pengujian, jika diambil rata-rata lebih efisien menggunakan gas. Namun secara ekonomis, kayu lebih menguntungkan produsen. Biaya konsumsi bahan bakar untuk gas LPG sebesar Rp 5.863,- /kg, sedangkan biaya konsumsi bahan bakar kayu sebesar Rp 4.000,-/kg. Produsen secara naluriah mengetahui tentang bahaya polusi udara dari bahan bakar kayu. Kemudahan penggunaan kayu bakar mengalahkan himbauan pemerintah untuk mulai mengganti bahan bakar yang digunakan untuk produksi rumah tangga. Disamping itu pembiayaan penggantian peralatan yang menggunakan bahan bakar gas LPG lebih tinggi

Vor der industriellen Produktion von Stahlträgern und Brettschichtholz boten Zahnbalken eine Möglichkeit große Auflagerabstände im Hoch- und Brückenbau zu überspannen. Verzahnte Balken sind aus heutiger Sicht als nachgiebig zusammengesetzte Biegeträger zu betrachten. Dabei wirken die handwerklich hergestellten Zahnverbindungen in gleicher Weise wie zum Beispiel Dübel besonderer Bauart. Der zur statischen Nachweisführung benötigte Verschiebungsmodul ist in der aktuell gültigen Holzbau-Bemessungsnorm DIN EN 1995–1–1:2010 nicht ausgewiesen. Somit ist es zurzeit nur durch eine versuchstechnische Ermittlung des Verschiebungsmoduls für die jeweilige Zahngeometrie möglich, statische Nachweise durchzuführen.
Electrophysiological and behavioral correlates of cannabis use disorder

Published: June 2022

Current research indicates deficits in cognitive function together with widespread changes in brain activity following long-term cannabis use. In particular, cannabis use has been associated with excessive spectral power of the alpha rhythm (8–12 Hz), which is also known to be modulated during attentional states. Recent neuroimaging studies have linked heavy cannabis use with structural and metabolic changes in the brain; however, the functional consequences of these changes are still not fully characterized. This study investigated the electrophysiological and behavioral correlates of cannabis dependence by comparing patients with a cannabis use disorder (CUD; N = 24) with cannabis nonuser controls (N = 24), using resting state electroencephalogram (EEG) source-imaging. In addition to evaluating mean differences between groups, we also explored whether particular EEG patterns were associated with individual cognitive-behavioral measures. First, we replicated historical findings of elevated levels of (relative) alpha rhythm in CUD patients compared with controls and located these abnormalities to mainly prefrontal cortical regions. Importantly, we observed a significant negative correlation between alpha spectral power in several cortical regions and individual attentional performance in the Go/NoGo task. Because such relationship was absent in the nonuser control group, our results suggest that reduced prefrontal cortical activation (indexed by increased relative alpha power) could be partly responsible for the reported cognitive impairments in CUD. Our findings support the use of electroencephalography as a noninvasive and cost-effective tool for biomarker discovery in substance abuse and have the potential of directly informing future intervention strategies.

The Impact of Green Finance on the Ecologicalization of Urban Industrial Structure —— Based on GMM Model of Dynamic Panel System
Authors: Lin Kai , Zhao Huawei
Published: June 2022

Although a number of papers have been published in the general area of various factors affecting the ecologicalization of urban industrial structure, little work has been carried out for empirical studies quantitatively analyzing the relevance between green finance development and the ecologicalization of urban industrial structure. Therefore, based on a comprehensive index of green finance development, this research employs panel data of target cities for the period 2012–2020 to explore the influence of green finance on the ecologicalization of urban industrial structure. And the empirical results show that green finance development significantly improves the ecologicalization level of urban industrial structure. In addition, it’s found that green finance plays a stronger role in promoting the ecologicalization of industrial structure in economically developed regions than in economically underdeveloped regions. The research results could provide valuable policy implications for urban green financial market planning and green product innovation.
GRB 200826A: A Precursor of a Long Gamma-Ray Burst with Missing Main Emission
Authors: Ivy Wang Xiangyu , Zhang Bin-Bin , Lei Wei-Hua
Published: June 2022

The recently discovered peculiar gamma-ray burst GRB 200826A poses a dilemma for the collapsar model. Although all other characteristics of the burst are consistent with it being a Type II (i.e., collapse of a massive star) event, the observed duration of the event is only approximately 1 s, which is at odds with the predicted allowable timescale range for a collapsar event. To resolve this dilemma, this Letter proposes that the original burst could be an intrinsically long GRB comprising a precursor and a main emission phase. However, the main emission phase is missed due to either precession of the jet or the obstruction by a companion star, leaving only the precursor observed as a short-duration GRB 200826A. Interestingly, we found that the temporal and spectral properties of GRB 200826A broadly resembled those of the bright precursor observed in GRB 160625B. Furthermore, assuming the prototype burst of GRB 200826A is similar to that of GRB 160625B, we found that the observer may indeed miss its main emission because of geometric effects caused either by jet precession or companion-obstruction models. Our approach provides a natural explanation for the GRB 200826A–like bursts and agrees with the rarity of those events.
Kink Oscillation of a Flux Rope During a Failed Solar Eruption
Authors: Kumar Pankaj , Nakariakov Valery M. , Karpen Judith T. , Richard DeVore C. , Cho Kyung-Suk
Published: June 2022

We report a decaying kink oscillation of a flux rope during a confined eruptive flare, observed off the solar limb by the Solar Dynamics Observatory’s Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), which lacked a detectable white-light coronal mass ejection. The erupting flux rope underwent kinking, rotation, and apparent leg–leg interaction during the event. The oscillations were observed simultaneously in multiple AIA channels at 304, 171, and 193 Å, indicating that multithermal plasma was entrained in the rope. After reaching the overlying loops in the active region, the flux rope exhibited large-amplitude, decaying kink oscillations with an apparent initial amplitude of 30 Mm, a period of about 16 minutes, and a decay time of about 17 minutes. We interpret these oscillations as a fundamental standing kink mode of the flux rope. The oscillation polarization has a clear vertical component, while the departure of the detected waveform from a sinusoidal signal suggests that the oscillation could be circularly or elliptically polarized. The estimated kink speed is 1080 km s−1, corresponding to an Alfvén speed of about 760 km s−1. This speed, together with the estimated electron density in the rope from our differential emission measure analysis, n

e
≈ (1.5–2.0) × 109 cm−3, yields a magnetic-field strength of about 15 G. To the best of our knowledge, decaying kink oscillations of a flux rope with nonhorizontal polarization during a confined eruptive flare have not been reported before. These oscillations provide unique opportunities for indirect measurements of the magnetic-field strength in low-coronal flux ropes during failed eruptions.
Serum Level of High-Mobility Group Box Protein 1 as a Potential Treatment Target in Egyptian Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Authors: Arafat Aya Mohamed Adel , Botros Shahira K. A. , Afifi Rasha , Zayed Shahira Amin , Fateen Mohamed
Published: June 2022

Background:
During tissue injury, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is passively released from necrotic cells and actively secreted by inflammatory cells. Extracellular HMGB1 acts as an amplifier of Toll-Like Receptor (TLR)-dependent inflammation rather than a primary trigger of inflammation. We studied HMGB1 quantitative trait locus reference sequence 2249825 (rs2249825) and its serum level in both sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and healthy subjects to explore its possible role in the pathogenesis of vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs).
Methods:
HMGB1 rs2249825 was assayed in peripheral blood samples using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). While the serum level was assayed using a two-site enzyme-linked immunosorbent technique (ELISA).
Results:
Both the SCD patients and the control group had comparable HMGB1 rs2249825 genotype frequencies (P-value >0.05). SCD patients at their steady-state showed statistically significantly higher serum HMGB1 levels than the healthy controls, a median of 0.6 ng/ml with a range of 0.1- 85 ng/ml versus a median of 0.3 ng/ml and a range of 0.1-3 ng/ml (P-value <0.001), respectively. Statistically significant skewed high serum HMGB1 in the VOC samples in contrast to the steady-state samples was observed in the SCD patients with a median of 3.2 ng/ml and a range of 0.3-76.4 ng/ml versus a median of 0.2 ng/ml and a range 0.2-7.4 ng/ml (P-value <0.0001), respectively.
 
 
Conclusion:
HMGB1 could have a role in the VOC pathogenesis, hence it is suggested as a potential additive therapeutic target in SCD in general and in vaso-occlusions in specific.

Risk factors associated with horse fall severity whilst racing over Grand National fences pre- and post-changes to their structure
Authors: Mata F. , Bannister-Bell A.J. , Young T.J.
Published: June 2022

This study investigated whether the modifications made to Grand National (GN) fences at Aintree, Liverpool, UK in 2012 following the Review of Safety and Welfare commissioned by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), reduced the number and severity of ridden horse falls. The study also investigated whether the number of fences in a race and the total starters were positively linked to falls, and whether horse and jockey experience had any bearing. Videos of 36 races run between 2008 and 2016 recording all horse falls were retrospectively reviewed. Eighteen of the races were run prior to the 2012 changes made to the fences and 18 after the modifications. Falls were graded using a pre-determined severity scale, and previous experience of jumping GN fences. The severity scale was developed by the authors based on the literature and their perception of the degree of injury caused to the rider. The number of falls pre- and post-GN fence modification were adjusted to generalised linear models using the number of falls and severity of falls as dependent variables. A significant decrease in fallers was seen (P<0.001) after changes were made to the GN fences, together with a reduction in the probability of all levels of severity of fall. The severity scores decreased with increasing number of fences (P<0.001). When there were more starters in a race, a greater probability of horse falls was observed (P<0.001). No positive association between horse’s experience of jumping GN fences and horse falls, or jockey licence and horse falls was found (P>0.05). This study revealed that by implementing the changes recommended by the BHA, which included modifying the GN fences, the number and severity of ridden horse falls decreased. Horse and rider welfare was improved, contributing positively to the debate and public perception of the horseracing industry.
Fluoroscopic measurements of the glenohumeral joint position and space in true anteroposterior and axillary views – a reliability study
Authors: Makhija M. , Sethi J. , Kataria C. , Singh H. , Phadke V.
Published: June 2022

Two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopy has been used in shoulder pathologies to estimate the humeral head position (HHP) in the true anteroposterior (AP) view. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the reliability estimating it in the axillary view and in measuring the shoulder joint space width (JSW). True AP view images (n=36) of subjects with adhesive capsulitis were taken in supine in multiple arm abduction positions. The axillary view images (n=48) were taken in supine and prone in 75° of abduction. The HHP was assessed in the glenoid reference frame. The position and radius of the humeral head along with the superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, and middle JSWs were measured in each image. All the images were coded and randomly presented twice to a physiotherapist at a gap of 48-72 h for intra-rater reliability and to 2 therapists and an orthopaedic surgeon for inter-rater reliability. Reliability was expressed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM). In both the views, inter-rater, and intra-rater reliability was excellent for the radius of the humeral head (inter-rater – 0.95-0.97 and intra-rater -0.98)], moderate (ICC: 0.70 and 0.76), and excellent (ICC: 0.89 and 0.93) for HHP. The reliability for JSWs was moderate to good (ICC: 0.66-0.82) for inter-rater and good to excellent (ICC: 0.75-0.95) for intra-rater analysis. The SEM for HHP and JSWs were <0.4 mm for intra-rater analysis, and <0.7 mm for inter-rater reliability in both views. The study demonstrated that the glenohumeral arthrokinematic parameters can be measured with good to excellent levels of reliability when using 2 D fluoroscopy.

The study is part of a clinical trial (Clinical Trial Registry India: CTRI/2018/12/016657).
Neighborhood strong superiority and evolutionary stability of polymorphic profiles in asymmetric games
Authors: Narang Aradhana , Shaiju A. J.
Published: June 2022

In symmetric evolutionary games with continuous strategy spaces, Cressman [6] has proved an interesting stability result for the associated replicator dynamics relating the concepts of neighborhood superiority and neighborhood attracting for polymorphic states with respect to the weak topology. Similar stability results are also established for monomorphic profiles in 2-player asymmetric games [8]. In the present paper, we use the model of asymmetric evolutionary games introduced by Mendoza-Palacios and Hernández-Lerma [17] and obtain a stability result for polymorphic profiles in \begin{document}$ n $\end{document}-player asymmetric evolutionary games with continuous action spaces using the concept of neighborhood strong superiority (Definition 2.3). In particular, we prove that neighborhood strong superior polymorphic profiles are neighborhood attracting. It is also shown that a polymorphic neighborhood strong superior profile is in fact a vector of Dirac measures. Moreover, we establish that the notion of neighborhood strong superiority does not imply strong uninvadability and vice-versa.
Relative entropy and envy-free allocation
Authors: Lonnie Turpin, Jr.  , Bruchhaus Kelli , Credo Keith , Gerard Ornas, Jr.
Published: June 2022

In this brief work, we study a basic environment consisting of a single receiver taking actions based on information (called signals) from multiple senders. The receiver is a rational Bayesian who uses optimization as a mechanism to convert the signals to actions. The conversions are gambles as the actions must be taken before signal reception. Formal comparisons of differences between the solution sets of both prior and posterior optimization frameworks and their respective probability distributions are given. The difference in probability distributions (denoted by relative entropy) presents a useful tool for modifying the receiver's level of risk. We then construct a simple scenario where the receiver acts as a proxy in a Shapely-Shubik-style game with two agents focusing on different objectives under a common risk level. Acting on their behalf, an envy-free allocation mechanism is presented to simultaneously satisfy each using the asymmetric assignment model when findings show the objectives require identical actions.
Matching biomedical ontologies with GCN-based feature propagation
Authors: Wang Peng , Zou Shiyi , Liu Jiajun , Ke Wenjun
Published: June 2022

With an increasing number of biomedical ontologies being evolved independently, matching these ontologies to solve the interoperability problem has become a critical issue in biomedical applications. Traditional biomedical ontology matching methods are mostly based on rules or similarities for concepts and properties. These approaches require manually designed rules that not only fail to address the heterogeneity of domain ontology terminology and the ambiguity of multiple meanings of words, but also make it difficult to capture structural information in ontologies that contain a large amount of semantics during matching. Recently, various knowledge graph (KG) embedding techniques utilizing deep learning methods to deal with the heterogeneity in knowledge graphs (KGs), have quickly gained massive attention. However, KG embedding focuses mainly on entity alignment (EA). EA tasks and ontology matching (OM) tasks differ dramatically in terms of matching elements, semantic information and application scenarios, etc., hence these methods cannot be applied directly to biomedical ontologies that contain abstract concepts but almost no entities. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes a novel approach called BioOntGCN that directly learns embeddings of ontology-pairs for biomedical ontology matching. Specifically, we first generate a pair-wise connectivity graph (PCG) of two ontologies, whose nodes are concept-pairs and edges correspond to property-pairs. Subsequently, we learn node embeddings of the PCG to predicate the matching results through following phases: 1) A convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract the similarity feature vectors of nodes; 2) A graph convolutional network (GCN) to propagate the similarity features and obtain the final embeddings of concept-pairs. Consequently, the biomedical ontology matching problem is transformed into a binary classification problem. We conduct systematic experiments on real-world biomedical ontologies in Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI), and the results show that our approach significantly outperforms other entity alignment methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance. This indicates that BioOntGCN is more applicable to ontology matching than the EA method. At the same time, BioOntGCN substantially achieves superior performance compared with previous ontology matching (OM) systems, which suggests that BioOntGCN based on the representation learning is more effective than the traditional approaches.
Open Communication About Reproductive Health Is Associated With Comprehensive HIV Knowledge and a Non-stigmatising Attitude Among Indonesian Youth: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Wirawan Gede Benny Setia , Gustina Ni Luh Zallila , Januraga Pande Putu
Published: June 2022

Objectives: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention among youth seems under-prioritised compared to other key populations. HIV knowledge and stigma are important parts of HIV prevention. To inform HIV prevention among youths, this study quantitatively analysed the associations between open communication regarding sexuality and sexual health, comprehensive HIV knowledge, and non-stigmatising attitudes in Indonesia.Methods: This study used data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. The analysis included unmarried men and women aged 15-25 years old. Comprehensive HIV knowledge and a stigmatising attitude were defined according to the IDHS 2017. Open communication about sexuality and sexual health was defined as the number of people with whom participants could openly discuss these topics in their direct network of friends, family, and service providers, with a scale ranging from 0 to a maximum of 7. Primary analysis used binomial logistic regression with weighting adjustments.Results: The final analysis included 22 864 respondents. Twenty-two percent of youth had no one in their direct network with whom to openly discuss sexual matters, only 14.1% had comprehensive HIV knowledge, and 85.9% showed stigmatising attitudes. Youth mostly discussed sex with their friends (55.2%), and were less likely to discuss it with family members, showing a predominant pattern of peer-to-peer communication. Multivariate analysis showed that having a larger network for communication about sexuality and sexual health was associated with more HIV knowledge and less stigmatising attitudes.Conclusions: Having more opportunities for open sex communication in one’s direct social network is associated with more HIV knowledge and less stigmatising attitudes.

Published: June 2022

Human capital is the bundle of information, skills, and talents individuals build for personal well-being and economic productivity. Human capital provides long-term benefits for future generations. It is vital for economic growth, social capital, and the development of networks. Human growth is a challenging and never-ending process. However, the importance of early childhood and youth development is ever crucial. Because youth are susceptible to biological growth, academic and career advancement, and long-term planning, stress can come to them in various forms and sources. Stress represents an undeniable reality of life, particularly in youth concerning the academic sphere. Taking care of oneself represents a regularly practiced concept to relieve stress. Learning about self-care helps carefully maintain and improve short and long-term health and well-being. Its cohorts to improve overall health and well-being thus required scholarly attention to find the new way to benefit children and youth development.

Living Within, Subverting, or Rewriting the Script
Authors: Nigudkar Advaita Satish , Wandrekar Jagruti Rajan
Published: June 2022

Discrimination towards the LGBTQIA+ community has an impact on mental health that is described using the minority stress theory by Meyer. The authors are mental health professionals in India who hypothesize that in India, families are the dominant source of minority stress. They explain how in India's collectivistic framework, families are cis-hetero-patriarchal and contribute to distal stress through direct and indirect violence and proximal stress through forcing concealment, internalized homo and trans-negativity, perceived rejection, and internalized guilt. LGBTQIA+ individuals in India use three pathways to manage minority stress: living within the script (i.e., heterosexual marriages and dual lives), subverting the script (i.e., trying to fit queer relationships in a societally acceptable framework), or rewriting the script (i.e., choosing to live alone, having families of choice, and practising non-traditional relationship structures). Legal provisions that aid and inhibit these are discussed. Ways to build community resilience are suggested.
No Dress Rehearsal

People of today live in a highly convergent time where they have invisible yet strong ties with others via networks. They have powerful tools to connect for the good of humanity, but these tools may also function to give harm. No one can deny the inevitable consequences of convergence which turns the previously passive media consumers into active participants of the media production processes. Thus, media literacy is of importance in order to reach ideal societies where people live humanely and have a voice in democracy without facing bad treatments such as discrimination and violence. Being media literate requires further steps to realize the necessary outcomes for a better world. This chapter must be considered a further step on its own part as it aims to raise awareness on the issues of discrimination and LGBTQ via the CBS/Netflix TV series Anne With an E, its certain characters, and its transmedial world. The series is believed to be highly instructive in a media classroom.
Christian Theology and the LGBT Community
Authors: Arimoro Samuel
Published: June 2022

Many Christians around the world view the LGBT community as people who are deviants. This is because of the teachings of the Christian faith. Among the Christian community in most parts of the world, to be a part of the LGBT community is an open confirmation of a life of sin and immorality. This chapter examines the condemnation of homosexuality in the church vis-à-vis the emerging liberation theology which seeks to liberate itself from the bondage of mainstream theology. The methodology adopted is a literature review of the works of scholars in Christian theology on LGBT. The chapter concludes with a recommendation for an inclusive theology based on salvation and love.
Channel Structure Innovation as a Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Gutiérrez-Leefmans Manuela
Published: June 2022

Although there are studies on COVID-19's impact on supply chains for essential goods, the authors agree that SMEs have been largely ignored in this context. National statistics indicate that micro, small, and medium enterprises represent 99.8% of total business units in Mexico and are therefore a relevant unit of analysis. Such companies had to deal with lack of materials and delayed delivery times combined with a slowed-down demand of products. The adoption of e-commerce as an alternative channel was finally embraced by small enterprises in the country in order to survive. Original research with data from interviews to five micro and small enterprises managers is used to write mini-case studies, showing that both omni-channel and vertical integration were the most commonly used strategies. Results indicate that both flexibility and control are at the center of the decision to vertically integrate and therefore disintermediate (reducing the level number of the channel structure). A model of distribution channel innovation is proposed together with theoretical and practical implications.

Interactions among various stakeholders including companies, suppliers, and customers increased during these times for hassle-free and uninterrupted services. A paradigm shift was observed in advertising patterns, customer relationship management, service management, and digital tools and media engagements during the pandemic. A strategic shift, observed during the pandemic, has been explored and covered in this chapter. A theoretical framework of hassle-free uses of digital tools in the pandemic has also been developed and included using various social media platforms.
Crisis Management
Authors: Roshani Puja , Agarwal Shivani
Published: June 2022

The chapter discusses the adverse impinging of COVID-19 on Indian hotel business in general and on Hyatt Regency in particular. Large hospitality firms have major difficulties obtaining finances from financial institutions as the banks continued to have a poor lookout for the hospitality sector. In early phases of the pandemic, the measures which industry adopted in pandemics were related to prevention, pricing strategies, and maintenance efforts. The aid provided by government and human resources approaches also needs to be looked into. The hospitality and tourism industry needs to focus on their pricing schemes, which needs to be lower as compared to previous times. During the outbreak of the pandemic, a few of the hotels appeared to be forcing their workforce to go on non-paid leave and postpone business office and instrumentation upkeep. Seeking government aid or resources, the hotel industry appeared only be used as a last resort. The study confirms the bad shape of the hotels and their slow recovery after incorporating the various techniques of crisis management.

The chapter presents a case study on how Indian hotel industry was affected by COVID-19. Three hotels—Lemon Tree, Oyo Rooms, and Taj Hotels—were selected to elaborate. The study found that the hotel industry developed various policies to keep running their hotels during the pandemic. Lemon Tree joined various hospitals to provide rooms to COVID patients, provided free food and face masks to individuals. Oyo Rooms gave employee stock ownership plans of Rs 130 crore to its COVID-hit employees. Taj Hotels did not cut down the salaries of their employees and reduced its seating capacity by 50%. The study concluded that as the hospitality sector battled hard to continue during the pandemic, modernization would become an imperative tool in the post-COVID period to beat obstructions and spotlight advancement. So, the companies should minimize fixed costs and maximize variable costs. They should preferably have liquid cash available that could enable them to mitigate the risk.

To contain the spread of COVID-19, governments across the globe adopted strict mobility limiting measures. In India, 443,497 people died and 351,087 people are still struggling. The governments realising the long-lasting impact redefined their policies to offset the loss. The timely appropriate response of the governments in all sectors including psychological retarded the deadly impact. It was the first time in human history governments and NGOs realized the importance of mental health and responded with building up online mental health infrastructure. Some of the successful post-COVID-19 psychological response centers include the mental health rehabilitation helpline ‘KIRAN' by Government of India and iCALL multilingual telephonic and email-based services in India by Tata Institute of Social Sciences.

In recent years, the most debatable topic across the world is climate change. The changes in the pattern of the season have been observed in different regions of the world due to weather change, and this issue has been taken on a serious note. Researchers are now taking data from satellites using remote sensing to analyze and prepare reports for predicting future disasters, which will be helpful to tackle calamities. Satellites like INSAT, IRS, Landsat 8, SARAL, Oceans 2, RISAT 2B, and many others have been launched for monitoring the soil conditions, land used, sea temperature, rainfall measurement, groundwater level, vegetation growth. Particularly, IRS satellites provide us the observation of land, water, crop growth, grassland, and INSAT satellites provide us the information of ocean temperature, outgoing long-wave radiation, cloud motion vectors, etc. This chapter discusses how remote sensing plays an important role in collecting data using satellites, how satellites monitor objects, and which satellite data is used for the climate change analysis.

Published: June 2022

Water pollution is a global problem. In developing countries like India, water pollution is growing exponentially due to faster unsustainable industrial developments and poor waste-water management. Hence, it is essential to predict the future levels of pollutants from the historical water quality data of the reservoir with the help of appropriate water quality modeling and forecasting. Subsequently, these forecasting results can be utilized to plan and execute the water quality management steps in advance. This chapter presents a comprehensive review of time series forecasting of the water quality parameters using classical statistical and artificial intelligence-based techniques. Here, important methods used to calculate the water quality index are discussed briefly. Further, a problem formulation for the modeling of water quality parameters, the performance metrics suitable for evaluating the time-series methods, comparative analysis, and important research challenges of the water quality time-series modeling and forecasting are presented.
