Trends of Power Devolution in South Asia: A Comparative Appraisal of Pakistan’s Local Government System under the Civil-Military Regimes
Authors: Jahangir Dr. Asifa , Zain Rubeel , Dilkusha Soulat
Published: January 2022

In the South Asian countries, the trends of power sharing, decentralization and power evolution have not only always remained a pertinent debate for the consolidation of democracy and good governance, but also static political systems due to their multiethnic realities, multilingual differences, multicultural diversification, and their authoritarian orientation in the respective countries. Historically, the transfer of power through the local system of government (LGS) was seen as an important tool to accelerate the transition to representative democracy on the subcontinent. However, it was largely aimed at creating a new political class that would support colonial rule and meet the political demands of the local population for power sharing within the boundaries of the colonial government structure. Due to their embedded interests, the colonial legacies in South Asian states offered non-representative state institutions such as the military enough space to influence the transformation process of democracy. The paper has two main objectives: (1) to explore the concepts of power devolution and their associative nomenclature; (2) to analysis of the political and administrative dimensions of decentralization to underpin the structure of decentralization in South Asia in general and Pakistan in particular. The results of the study are that the lack of the weakest local government system in the South Asian region in general, and in Pakistan in particular, is due to the colonial legacy of an ongoing controlled political mindset in the form of bureaucracy, frequent military coups, a lack of political will to develop a welfare state in Pakistan. It uses the qualitative research methods of phenomenology and correlation, which sheds light on the meaning of relative terms often used to explain delegation of authority for political and administrative purposes.
Calpionellid biostratigraphy and microfacies analysis of a Tithonian–Berriasian carbonate succession in the Western Srednogorie (Bulgaria)

Published: January 2022

In the eastern part of the Western Srednogorie Unit, around Dragovishtitsa Village, a specific succession of the Gintsi and Glozhene–Slivnitsa formations has provided micropalaeontological evidence for late Tithonian (Chitinoidella, Praetintinnopsella and the base of Crassicollaria zones) and mid-Berriasian (the Elliptica Subzone of the Calpionella Zone) age on the basis of 45 chitinoidellid and calpionellid species. A significant stratigraphic hiatus is documented within the Glozhene–Slivnitsa Formation, since a part of the Crassicollaria Zone, as well as the Alpina+Remaniella subzones of the Calpionella Zone, is absent from the Dragovishtitsa 1 section. The conformably overlying Salash Formation is of mid-Berriasian age (Elliptica Subzone) and is locally characterized by the presence of calcareous sandstones (Dragovishtitsa 2 section). The Salash–Cherni Osam Formation, as well as the clayey limestone unit covering the Slivnitsa Formation, is also of mid-Berriasian age (Elliptica Subzone). The Slivnitsa and Glozhene–Slivnitsa formations, which underlie the Salash–Cherni Osam Formation in the Dragovishtitsa East section, correspond to the Crassicollaria Zone and the Alpina Subzone, respectively. Reworking of calpionellids from the Crassicollaria Zone is documented in the Alpina and Elliptica subzones in all three studied sections. Eight microfacies types are distinguished, which suggests that the carbonate sediments were deposited in a carbonate platform rather than in a pelagic basin environment, althought the upper part of the studied sections reveals an upward-deepening trend. The Slivnitsa Formation is covered by highly diachronous sediments from more distal settings: from mid-Berriasian around Dragovishtitsa Village to the Berriasian/Valanginian transition at the Tri Ushi section to late Valanginian in the Dragoman and Kalotina sections. This fact, together with the significant stratigraphic hiatus within the Glozhene–Slivnitsa Formation, is interpreted here as tectonically controlled. The presence of transitional depositional settings from carbonate platform to deeper-marine environments caused deposition of specific lithostratigraphic units not always corresponding to the diagnostic features of the Glozhene, Salash and Cherni Osam formations.
Geochemistry of advanced argillic altered rocks in the area of Breznik, Western Srednogorie Unit (Bulgaria)
Authors: Hikov Atanas , Velinova Nadezhda , Lerouge Catherine , Kunov Angel
Published: January 2022

The distribution and behaviour of major and trace elements in the main zones of hydrothermal alteration (propylite, sericite and advanced argillic) in the area of Breznik Town have been studied, coupled with the chemical composition of alunite group minerals and their isotope geochemistry. The content of Sr decreases in propylite and especially in sericite rocks, and increases significantly in advanced argillic altered (AAA) rocks, which is connected with the formation of aluminium phosphate-sulphate (APS) minerals. Rubidium has high content in sericitic rocks, whereas the element is almost depleted in AAA rocks. The Rb/Sr ratio increases in sericitic rocks and strongly decreases in AAA rocks. Zirconium, Ti, Cr, V, Ga, Hf, Nb, Ta, Th, U and partially Sn and Ba have comparatively inert behaviour during alteration. Manganese, Zn, Ni, Co, Cs and Y are mobile in different degree, with a trend toward complete extraction in the most altered rocks. Arsenium concentrates in AAA rocks, while Li is concentrated only in kaolinite AAA rocks. LREE are comparatively inert in AAA rocks, while MREE and HREE are very mobile, especially in alunite rocks. Alunite has Na-K composition, with permanent admixtures of Ca, Sr, Ba and LREE. APS minerals themselves are woodhouseite and svanbergite-woodhouseite solid solutions (s.s.). Stable isotopes of alunite are characteristic for magmatic-hydrothermal alunite, whereas δ34S of jarosite is intermediate between δ34S of alunite and sulphides, which confirms its supergene origin. All these features define a high-sulphidation epithermal environment, and a possible porphyry mineralization at deeper part of the system is suggested.

Published: January 2022

Employee performance is seen as what an employee does and what he doesn't do. Employee performance involves the quality and quantity of output, attendance at work, and timeliness of output. The level of absenteeism is quite high where an average of 14.59% per month. This can have a negative effect on employee performance, meaning that the higher the level of absenteeism will affect the lower performance of the employee. There are indications that employee job satisfaction is not optimal due to inaccurate provision of financial and non-financial incentives. Given this phenomenon, it is interesting to study given the tendency of low employee performance, the possibility of giving inappropriate or unsatisfactory incentives which causes low job satisfaction. Data were collected using a questionnaire method to 104 respondents at Karma Royal Bali. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS software. The results are that financial incentives and non-financial incentives have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction and job satisfaction as a mediator between financial incentives and non-financial incentives on employee performance at Karma Royal Bali.

BEZROBOCIE JAKO JEDEN Z POWODÓW DYSFUNKCJONALNOŚCI RODZINY W OCENIE PRACOWNIKÓW POMOCY SPOŁECZNEJ MIASTA CHEŁM
Authors: W. Kozioł
Published: January 2022

Bezrobocie, to problem społeczny, w wyniku którego rodziny nie zawsze prawidłowo realizują funkcje im przypisane, stając się rodzinami dysfunkcjonalnymi. Dlatego tak ważnym wydaje się zwrócenie uwagi na wsparcie rodzin, które nie radzą sobie z realizacją podstawowych funkcji. Brak miejsc pracy, a zarazem wymuszona przez współczesną rzeczywistość pogoń z dobrobytem, wyższymi zarobkami i karierą, wyjazdy zagraniczne, ale także niepowodzenia w zaspakajaniu podstawowych potrzeb rodziny, osłabiają więzi rodzinne i przyczyniają się do dysfunkcjonalność rodziny. Działania naprawcze, mające na celu zapobieganie dysfunkcjonalności rodziny są trudne i nie zawsze przynoszą pożądany efekt. W rodzinie z problemem bezrobocia często paralelnie występuje ubóstwo agresja i przemoc, alkoholizm i narkomania, niewydolność wychowawcza, niezaradność i inne czynniki dezintegrujące jej funkcjonowanie. W części badawczej publikacji zaprezentowano wyniki badań własnych przeprowadzone z wykorzystaniem dwóch metod badawczych – metody badań sondażowych (technika - ankieta) oraz metody analizy dokumentów (analiza dokumentów urzędowych). Ankietę przeprowadzono wśród pracowników Miejskiego Ośrodka Pomocy Rodzinie w Chełmie[1], mających bezpośredni kontakt z rodzinami dysfunkcyjnymi. Analizie dokumentów urzędowych poddano sprawozdania z działalności Ośrodka w lakach 2010-2020. Cel badań określono jako wskazanie znaczenia wsparcia społecznego w kontekście najczęstszych jego form udzielanych rodzinom dysfunkcjonalnym z powodu bezrobocia na terenie Miasta Chełm[2] oraz ustalenie stosunku pracowników pomocy społecznej, mających bezpośredni kontakt z rodzinami dysfunkcjonalnymi, do różnorodnych form oferowanego wsparcia. Badania pozwoliły również na wskazanie najczęstszych problemów z jakimi nie radzą sobie rodziny osób bezrobotnych. Wyniki i wnioski z badań przedstawione zostały na zakończenie artykułu.

We study in this paper variability of the late-type M giants found in the First Byurakan Survey (FBS) spectroscopic data base. We used phase dependent light – curves from large sky area variability data bases such as Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) and All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We used also the distance information derived from Gaia EDR3 to construct the Galactic distribution of the M – type giants from the second edition of the FBS Late-Type Stars catalogue including various kinds of long period variables.
On the property of ”statistical identity” of solutions to some classical problems of the radiative transfer theory
Authors:   NAS RA V. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO), Armenia, Pikichyan H. V.
Published: January 2022

A probabilistic interpretation of the classical solution of the diffuse reflection problem (DRP) of radiation from a semi-infinite homogeneous scattering-absorbing medium on the language of random events in the simple case of monochromatic and isotropic scattering is constructed. A certain property of the so-called ”statistical identity” is specially defined. By using these two circumstances, it is possible to construct a simple symbolic scheme for the direct transformation of the solution mentioned above in the particular case of DRP into solutions to more general cases of DRP, which taking into account the anisotropy and incoherence of scattering, as well as the temporal dependence of the task on the act of absorption. Moreover, some generalization of the primary scheme makes it possible to directly obtain solutions of the DRP also for nonhomogeneous media and for general case of time dependence (on absorption acts and free flights between them) for the quanta diffusion process. At the same time, both the well-known results of the DRP decisions and some new ones were obtained.

Online communication has already replaced the traditional means of communications as it offers a great platform for boys and girls to have discussions on various topics including health issues. The objectives of the study were to examine the peer-to-peer online communication about the healthy lifestyle of Pakistani teenage girls. The study was qualitative in nature, which investigates experiences and reasons for using online tools by Pakistani teenage girls for discussing healthy lifestyles. For this purpose, (10) semi-structured interviews of Pakistani teenage girls were conducted. The results revealed that physical and mental health is positively affected by sharing experiences with online peers. Obtaining information, getting emotional support, sharing, and exchanging personal health problems and issues using online communication proved to be beneficial for teenage Pakistani girls. However, evaluation of positive results of online peer to peer communication on health-related topics is still attainable. One of the reasons for Pakistani teenage girls to seek a healthy lifestyle online is cultural barriers, expensive medical treatments, not consulting nutritionists, and unavailability of medical centers in Pakistan. Having a greater amount of discussion with the peer’s online, emotional support, trust, self-esteem extensively related to Pakistani girl’s perception. A positive environment and eminence of social and emotional support through online groups can yield good results on the health of an individual.

THE PAKISTAN MOVEMENT AND FEDERALISM
Authors:   Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Rid Saeed Ahmed
Published: January 2022

The careful reading of the history of Pakistan movement tells us the movement rose in response to the fear of the imposition of majoritarian- unitary democracy model in British India following the West Minister model. After 1857 war of independence, Sir Sayed Ahmed Khan had advised Muslims not to take part in politics and focus their energies on acquiring modern education and hence securing their due share in bureaucratic positions under the British rule. But when Congress was formed in 1885 and gradually democratic reforms were introduced, the fear of majoritarian-unitary model started creeping in among the Muslim elite. The leaders of Muslim League felt if the Westminster style majoritarian- unitary democracy model is introduced in British India that will ultimately bring over the centralized Congress rule in British India which they equated as the Hindu raj. The debate around the federal question remained on top of the agenda in British India since the announcement of the Nehru report in 1928. The failure of the Congress in addressing Muslim concerns regarding majoritarian- unitary democracy model ultimately led to the partition of India in 1947. In this paper the debate around the federal question and the demands for consociational democracy in Pakistan movement would be studied in detail and it will be analysed how far the failure of addressing the federal question was responsible for the partition of India.

TRACES OF NATIONAL TURKIC CULTURE IN THE KHAKASS' ALYPTYG NYMAKHS
Authors: Маммадли Г. Й.
Published: January 2022

В данной статье на анализе героических сказаний «Алтын Арыг» и «Книга моего отца Коркута» показано сопоставление с другими сказаниями тюрко - монгольских народов, подчёркнута схожесть типологически сходных явлений. Богатырские сказания хакасского народа отражают в себе историю народа, которая на долгие века сохранила их для будущего поколения всего тюркского мира. Изучение алыптыг нымахов, в частности свадебный обряд (выбор спутника жизни, испытания, девятидневный пиртой, расплетение шестидесяти косичек, заплетение одной косы и т. д.), традиционные сюжеты, действия главных героев показывают их тесную связь с эпосами других тюркских народов. Следы общетюркской культуры встречаются во всех сферах жизни героев героических сказаний. Мотив суженых имеет реальную историко - бытовую основу, восходящую к экзогамии, когда невесту брали из другого рода.

In this article, based on the analysis of "Altyn Aryg" and "The book of my father Korkut', the comparison with other legends of Turkic - Mongolian peoples is shown, and the similarity of typologically similar phenomena is emphasized. The Khakass people's heroic tales reflect the history of the people, which preserved them for the future generation of the entire Turkic world for many centuries to come. The study of alyptyg nymakhs, in particular, the wedding ceremony (choosing a life partner, trials, a nine - day feast - toi, unwinding sixty braids, braiding one braid, etc.), traditional plots and actions of the main characters show their close connection with eposes of other Turkic peoples. Traces of national Turkic culture are found in all spheres of life of heroes of heroic tales. The motif of the betrothed has a real historical and everyday basis, dating back to exogamy, when a bride was taken from another kin.
FOREST IN THE BASHKIRS' VIEW OF THE WORLD
Authors: Абсалямова Ю. А.
Published: January 2022

В статье анализируются особенности восприятия лесного пространства башкирами. На основе языковых, фольклорных материалов сделана попытка раскрыть различные аспекты взаимоотношений лес - человек, образ леса в картине мира башкир. Как и в большинстве традиционных культур, в целом мифологический образ леса носит отрицательный характер. В фольклоре он часто описывается как тёмный, мрачный, неизвестный, таящий опасности, противопоставляясь обжитому и освоенному пространству селений. Лесной пандемониум также представлен в основном отрицательными персонажами. В целом образ леса в традиционной картине мира башкир предстаёт довольно неоднозначным. С одной стороны - это категория, связанная с потусторонним миром, неизведанная, «чужая» территория. С другой - лес издавна являлся источником различных благ - в виде строительного материала, пушнины, различных продуктов питания, укрывал от врагов.

The article analyzes the features of Bashkirs' perception of the forest space. On the basis of the materials of the epos, folklore, folk ideas, an attempt was made to reveal the various aspects of the relationship between forest and man, the image of the forest in Bashkirs' world view. As in most traditional cultures, the mythological image of the forest as a whole is negative. In folklore, it is often described as dark, gloomy, unknown, fraught with danger, being contrasted with the inhabited and developed space of the villages. The forest pandemonium is also represented mainly by negative characters. On the other hand, in the domestic perception forest is valued for the benefits derived from it: shelter, food, protection from enemies. In addition, Bashkirs, distinguished by a developed aesthetic perception and contemplative thinking, appreciated its beauty, which is also reflected in folklore. In general, the image of forest in the Bashkirs' traditional view of the world appears rather ambiguous. On the one hand, it is the category associated with the other world, unknown, «foreign» territory. On the other hand, the forest has long been a source of various benefits - in the form of construction materials, furs, various food products, and it sheltered them from enemies.
ARTISTIC FEATURES OF CHALCHIK CHUNIZHEKOV'S PROSE WORKS
Authors: Дедина М. С.
Published: January 2022

В статье анализируется прозаическое наследие Чалчика Анчиновича Чунижекова, одного из ярких представителей соцреалистической литературы Горного Алтая. Выдвигается гипотеза о том, что профессия журналиста наложила своеобразный отпечаток на творчество писателя - в его очерках присутствуют имена реальных людей, называются факты, цифры, что позволяет говорить о документальной основе прозы Ч. А. Чунижекова. Основное внимание в работе уделено автобиографической повести «Мундузак», ставшей своеобразной рефлексией писателя на факты его собственной биографии. Главный герой повести, с одной стороны, близкий автору, с другой - типичный представитель поколения новой интеллигенции, рожденной советской властью. Доказано, что произведения писателя - это художественное отражение исторической эпохи с опорой на факты, события, истории реальных людей, в том числе и на собственную биографию.

The articl analyzes the prosaic heritage of Chalchik Anchinovich Chunizhekov, one of the brilliant representatives of socialist realist literature of Gorny Altai. It is hypothesized that the profession of a journalist left a peculiar imprint on the writer's work, influencing the fact that the basis of his prose is essays, which contain names of real people, facts, figures, which allows us to talk about the documentary basis of his prose. The main attention is paid to autobiographical story "Munduzak" which became a kind of reflection of the writer on the facts of his own biography. The main character of the story, on the one hand, is close to the author, on the other - a typical representative of the generation of new intelligentsia, born by the Soviet government. It is proved that the writer's works are an artistic reflection of a historical epoch based on facts, events and stories of real people, including the writer's own biography.
Közeledés Istenhez a teológiai erények útján Sziénai Szent Katalin tanításában
Authors: Sipos Katalin
Published: January 2022

Pope Paul VI. declared St. Catherine of Siena and St. Theresa of Avila to be Doctors of the Church, breaking by this act a long tradition in a twofold way: first, because they were the first two female Doctors of the Church; second, because Catherine of Siena became the first and so far only Doctor who is a lay person. In this study, we shall examine St. Catherine’s account of the three theological virtues in the Dialogues. The questions we shall ask are: what has Catherine to say concerning our ability to know the love of God? How is the gift of the fear of God connected to hopefulness? What are the stages of growth in love? The Catechism of the Catholic Church stresses that the three theological virtues prepare us for an essential relationship with the Holy Trinity. Therefore, a careful examination of the teachings of such a highly praised Saint is of great importance.
Educação inclusiva. uma questão constitucional do bem-estar e da dignidade das pessoas
Authors: Oliveira Rodrigo Rios Faria de , Resende Letícia Maria de Maia
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo analisa a educação inclusiva como questão de ordem constitucional. Assim, estabelece uma relação entre essa modalidade de ensino e aprendizagem, em que as diversidades são compreendidas e valorizadas, e os princípios da dignidade da pessoa humana, basilar para o desenvolvimento do Estado Democrático de Direito, e do bem-estar social, admitido, dentre outros, como objetivo fundamental da República brasileira. O texto, dividido em três partes, realiza-se pela metodologia analítica e argumenta ser a educação inclusiva um instrumento capaz de fomentar o respeito às diversidades presentes no tecido social. Logo, o Estado deve lançar mão dessa dinâmica educativa a fim de que a pluralidade típica da democracia seja realidade, respeitando-se a dignidade da pessoa humana e promovendo um ambiente social sem preconceitos e discriminação de quaisquer categorias.
Perder la música
Authors: Durán Cristóbal
Published: January 2022

Al referirse al tradicional reparto de un sistema de las artes, Heidegger pareciera dejar intocada sólo a la música. En términos de referencia temática ella aparece en su mayor extensión subordinada a la paulatina confrontación de Nietzsche con Wagner, donde Heidegger sitúa una ocasión excepcional para enfrentarse a la cuestión de los límites de la metafísica. A grandes rasgos, este trabajo pretende evaluar ciertos aspectos centrales en el tratamiento heideggeriano de esta confrontación, con particular énfasis sobre el modo en que intenta deslindar la comprensión nietzscheana de lo sensible de la sensibilidad pensada por Wagner. El propósito de esto no es únicamente señalar la escansión de la historia del ser y su distancia respecto de la metafísica, sino, sobre todo, mostrar cierta repetición de la metafísica a la hora de intentar reducir lo sensible bajo la figura de una fisiología del arte.

Published: January 2022

Growth in population, mounting demand for building services and comfort levels, along with the rise in time spent inside buildings, assure the upward trend in energy consumption of large scale public buildings in Dhaka city. For this reason, energy efficiency in buildings is a prime objective today for energy policy at regional, national and international levels. This paper devotes to discuss the holistic utility bills analysis method for investigating and analyzing whole building energy consumption of public buildings with special emphasis on private sector institutions in a tropical region like Dhaka city. Correlations between operational records of energy consumption of three institutional buildings and the meteorological data including monthly mean outdoor dry-bulb temperature (To), and relative humidity (RH) of Dhaka city have been derived. The findings of the study reveals that the overall building energy consumption is highly dependent on climate, building design characteristics including internal layout, orientation, fenestration and site configurations, and ownership. The analysis of such kind of model is especially useful for building managers and owners to track energy use during preretrofit and post-retrofit periods and to reduce building operational costs in the tropical region. Keywords: Energy consumption, Institutional buildings, Utility bills, Heat gain, Meteorological data.

Dhaka, the nation’s capital, has a diverse range of extremities in its general socio‐economic composition. For the last few decades, the imprints of such a distinctive but composite juxtaposition have become evident through the physical and cultural bearings of its housing industry. In a broader spectrum, the overall housing divide can be identified under two opposing categories – the formal and the informal sectors. With the government agencies out of the scene as the key provider in the housing stock, the formal sector is primarily dependent on numerous real‐estate organizations and private entrepreneurs. The informal sector, on the other hand, is left to survive on its own – in conditions beyond human justification, but growing steadily to meet the demands of its urban machinery and economic whirlpool. This paper reveals the tale of the Vastuhara resettlement scheme for the urban poor that stand out as a bright and optimistic example in transformative propensity where some catalectic efforts by the government and its associated donor agencies have turned out to be a spontaneous phenomenon of social and economical advancement. Various sections of this text will portray a timescape of almost 40 years or so, assessing and addressing to various architectural details, which acted as the contributing factors in its overall process of development. Keywords: Transformation, Low income housing, Urban poor, Vastuhara resettlement scheme, User‐behavior phenomena

In today’s dynamic and competitive business environment, organizations are adopting the enterprise risk management framework to address the inadequacies in risk management in entities. Operating in today’s dynamic and competitive business environment organizations are faced with ever evolving risks as they implement their strategic objectives in order to create value. This study examined the intervening effect of corporate strategy on the relationship between transformational leadership and enterprise risk management adoption. This research adopted a positivist research philosophy and cross-sectional survey design approach. The target population comprised all the Commercial State Corporations in Kenya listed in the register of State Corporations Advisory Committee (SCAC) as at January 2021. The unit of analysis was the 52 Commercial State Corporations and unit of observation was top management of each entity. The study used primary data which was collected through structured questionnaires. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 22) was used in regression modeling for prediction and causal inferences between study variables. The study findings indicated a partial mediation effect on the mediating role of corporate strategy on the relationship between transformational leadership and ERM adoption. The objective was achieved. The study recommends that the commercial state corporations should anchor the ERM adoption activities and other management programmes in the corporate strategic plan for effective execution. In addition, the corporate strategic plan should be cascaded to stakeholders to enhance ownership and design policy to ensure the implementation of the corporate strategic plan is effectively monitored. Keywords: Corporate Strategy, Transformational Leadership, Enterprise Risk Management & Commercial State Corporations
Nexus of Political Connections with Green Financial Development and Fiscal Performance
Authors: Zhang Luwen
Published: January 2022

Green finance is an important guarantee to promote the development and structural transformation of green industries in China and is also the power source to implement the concept of green development during the "13th Five-Year Plan". The development of green finance is inseparable from the support of financial and taxation policies. Based on this background, there is a certain connection between green finance and corporate values. When companies strengthen their political relations, there will be certain positive and negative effects on the company's future development. Green development should be the goal, and the financial and tax performance of companies should be enhanced in strengthening the development of green finance. The most important thing for companies, regardless of the industry, is to interact with the government to improve their development goals and performance, maintain their rights and interests through political relations and policies, and obtain government support to achieve sustainable development of the company. Therefore, this study focuses on the political relationship between green finance development and financial performance and examines the intervention of political ties on corporate green investment and corporate performance. The results confirm that politically connected companies have more resources and protect the natural environment while improving their financial performance.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely employed tool for the analysis of cardiac disorders. A clean ECG is often desired for proper treatment of cardiac ailments. However, in the real scenario, ECG signals are corrupted with various noises during acquisition and transmission. In this article, an efficient ECG de-noising methodology using combined intrinsic time scale decomposition (ITD) and adaptive switching mean filter (ASMF) is proposed. The standard performance metric namely output SNR improvement measure the efficacy of the proposed technique at various signal to noise ratio (SNR). The proposed de-noising methodology is compared with other existing ECG de-noising approaches. A detail qualitative and quantitative study and analysis indicate that the proposed technique can be used as an effective tool for de-noising of ECG signals and hence can serve for better diagnostic in computer-based automated medical system. The performance of the proposed work is compared with existing ECG de-noising techniques namely wavelet soft thresholding based filter (DWT) [16], EMD with DWT technique [18], DWT with ADTF technique [19]. The effectiveness of the presented work has been evaluated in both qualitative and quantitative analysis. All the simulations are carried out using MATLAB software environment.
Changes in Indian Himalayan Region: Impact on Forest Ecosystems and Implications for REDD+
Authors: Negi Satya
Published: January 2022

There has been a rising global awareness about the importance of world’s mountain areas as mountains offer diverse goods and services to well over half of the earth’s 7 billion people. Mountains and mountain areas are susceptible in nature as some of the most visible indicators of climate change come from mountain areas e.g. widespread retread of glaciers have been observed from the mountain areas across the globe. The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), a mountain chain along the northern border of India with its diversity of ecosystems has unique and special significance for India. During the last decades, globalization, climate change, and population growth have impacted the forest ecosystems of IHR. Although, there is a net gain (2.10%) of forest cover in IHR during the decade (2001 - 2011), but all the states of IHR did not gain in forest cover during the period. Moreover, changes within the forests, such as changes of undisturbed primary forests into secondary forests are difficult to assess. The overall forest cover of 41.55% of the total geographical area of IHR is way behind the target set by the National Forest Policy of 1988 (Anon; 1988). Protection of Himalayan forests is possible only if the ever growing inhabitants of the IHR are properly compensated for protection of these valuable national resources. Successful implementation of Sustainable Forest Management through the global initiatives like ‘reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries; and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries’ (REDD+) at sub-national level is an opportunity to protect the IHR for the national interest.
