A importância da Educação Especial e Inclusiva na formação de docentes: uma experiência de Estágio Supervisionado no Atendimento Educacional Especializado em contexto de pandemia
Authors: Ferreira Denize Cristina Kaminski , Cruz Marcos Cezar Simioni da
Published: December 2021

A legislação atual assegura o direito à educação de forma irrestrita aos cidadãos brasileiros, independentemente de qualquer condição, desse modo, a inclusão de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais preferencialmente na rede regular de ensino constitui-se como um dever do Estado. Entende-se que a formação de docentes não pode desconsiderar este contexto. Assim, neste trabalho apresenta-se uma experiência de estágio supervisionado no Atendimento Educacional Especializado, realizada na rede municipal de Campina Grande do Sul (PR), a qual conta com sete salas de recursos multifuncionais que atendem a 84 crianças público-alvo da Educação Especial. Nestas salas foram alocadas 35 estagiárias do curso de Pedagogia de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior local, com o intuito de oportunizar vivências nesta modalidade de ensino, em contexto de pandemia. Este relato evidencia potencialidades advindas de parcerias estabelecidas entre Educação Especial e comunidade escolar, fomentando reflexões profícuas acerca da garantia do direito à educação na perspectiva inclusiva.

Published: December 2021

Tujuan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat atau abdimas ini adalah untuk membantu mitra untuk mempromosikan produk dagangnya melalui label dagang/label produk pada kemasan. Abdimas yang dilakukan adalah salah satu kewajiban dari tridarma dosen. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di PKM KERIPIK KENTANG “TERBANG” IBU YATI OMA SRENGSENG JAKARTA BARAT yang berlokasi di Jalan Delima No. 48 Rt 008 Rw 01 Kelurahan Srengseng Kecamatan Kembangan Jakarta Barat. Keripik kentang “Terbang” ibu Yati Oma ini merupakan industri tumah tangga (homeindustry). Industri rumahan selama ini kurang memiliki kemampuan untuk bersaing di pasar, disebabkan karena rendah pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kapabilitas terhadap penguasaan teknologi serta akses permodalan, padahal keberadaannya memiliki posisi penting dalam perekonomian nasional. Hal ini juga yang terjadi pada industri rumah tangga keripik kentang “Terbang”. Sejak membuka usaha ini sampai sekarang keripik kentang “Terbang” belum memiliki label dagang pada kemasannya. Berdasarkan hal tersebut tim kami berinisiatif untuk memberikan rancangan label dagang yang akan ditempelkan pada kemasan keripik kentang yang merupakan salah satu media promosi. Label memiliki peran penting pada produk makanan kemasan dan harus memenuhi persyaratan pelabelan. Label produk merupakan identitas dari sebuah produk yang akan dipasarkan. Tujuan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah agar keripik kentang “Terbang” memiliki identitas pada produknya, sebagai pengingat bagi konsumen (brand awareness) dan dapat meningkatkan penjualan.

From Movement Control to National Recovery Plan: Malaysia’s Strategy to Live with COVID-19
Authors: Daniel Tang Kuok Ho
Published: December 2021

With COVID-19 vaccination gaining momentum, strict lockdowns have been perceived as no longer necessary due to their far-reaching socioeconomic impacts. This overview aims to provide insight into Malaysia’s strategy in preparing to live with COVID-19 through stage-wise transition. This overview examined scholarly articles, news articles as well as official government announcements and data pertaining to the National Recovery Plan (NRP) which replaces COVID-19 lockdowns officially known as Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia. NRP, which presents a stage-wise relaxation of lockdown leading ultimately to conditional reopening of all sectors and lifting of travel restrictions, adopts three major indicators for transitions of phases. The indicators are daily new COVID-19 cases, occupancy rate of intensive care units and full vaccination rate. Domestic travel initiatives have been initiated during the NRP, allowing domestic visits to certain tourist spots in the nation. Interstate travel in most parts of the nation has also been permitted without needing to show a negative COVID-19 test. On 28 October 2021, six states and three federal territories of Malaysia were already in phase 4 of NRP, which is the ultimate phase of lockdown relaxation, while all other states were in phase 3. This has resulted in a positive outlook on the gross domestic products of Malaysia in quarter 3, 2021. This overview highlights that a different approach to COVID-19 is necessary as total elimination of COVID-19 is not yet in sight. It sheds light into the use of pertinent indicators or indices to capture the status of COVID-19.

Keywords: COVID-19; indicators; Malaysia; MCO; National Recovery Plan;Vaccination.

A note on machine method for root extraction
Authors: Padhan Saroj Kumar , Gadtia S.
Published: December 2021

The present investigation deals with the critical study of the works of Lancaster and Traub, who have developed $n$th root extraction methods of a real number. It is found that their developed methods are equivalent and the particular cases of Halley's and Householder's methods. Again the methods presented by them are easily obtained from simple modifications of Newton's method, which is the extension of Heron's square root iteration formula. Further, the rate of convergency of their reported methods are studied.

Construction of a normalized basis of a univariate quadratic $C^1$ spline space and application to the quasi-interpolation
Authors: Rahouti A. , Serghini Abdelhafid , Tijini A.
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we use the finite element method to construct a new normalized basis of a univariate quadratic $C^1$ spline space. We give a new representation of Hermite interpolant of any piecewise polynomial of class at least $C^1$ in terms of its polar form. We use this representation for constructing several superconvergent and super-superconvergent discrete quasi-interpolants which have an optimal approximation order. This approach is simple and provides an interesting approximation. Numerical results are given to illustrate the theoretical ones.
Elliptic curve over a finite ring generated by 1 and an idempotent element $e$ with coefficients in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{3^d}$
Authors: Boulbot A. , Chillali Abdelhakim , Mouhib A.
Published: December 2021

An elliptic curve over a ring $\mathcal{R}$ is a curve in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^{2}(\mathcal{R})$ given by a specific equation of the form $f(X, Y, Z)=0$ named the Weierstrass equation, where $f(X, Y, Z)=Y^2Z+a_1XYZ+a_3YZ^2-X^3-a_2X^2Z-a_4XZ^2-a_6Z^3$ with coefficients $a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_6$ in $\mathcal{R}$ and with an invertible discriminant in the ring $\mathcal{R}.$ %(see \cite[Chapter III, Section 1]{sil1}).  In this paper, we consider an elliptic curve over a finite ring of characteristic 3 given by the Weierstrass equation: $Y^2Z=X^3+aX^2Z+bZ^3$ where $a$ and $b$ are in the quotient ring $\mathcal{R}:=\mathbb{F}_{3^d}[X]/(X^2-X),$ where $d$ is a positive integer and $\mathbb{F}_{3^d}[X]$ is the polynomial ring with coefficients in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{3^d}$ and such that $-a^3b$ is invertible in $\mathcal{R}$.

Published: December 2021

The real sector for which the manufacturing sector is a part play key role in the quest for achieving economic growth of any country. A high output in the manufacturing sector will connote a high level of GDP all things been equal. However, the productivity of the manufacturing sector is directly dependent on the capital-labour ratio. Thus, this study seeks to examine the impact of foreign capital (FDI) and domestic labour force (population) on the manufacturing sector output in Nigeria. The choice of ARDL approach by this study is informed by the mixed order of integration from the unit root test. The finding indicates that FDI inflow significantly and positively determine the manufacturing output in Nigeria, while labour influence the manufacturing in a positive but insignificant way. Further result prove that the impact of labour force is elastic, indication that little change in the labour force will cause drastically change in the level of output in the manufacturing output. In general, the manufacturing sector is capital-driven rather labour-driven. A recommendation is made of the need for the improvement in education and training to increase the efficiency of labour. Secondly, since FDI capital demonstrate significant positive impact, the authority concern should device policy that will woo more it into the sector for higher productivity. Such policy include, tax holidays, stable exchange rate and lower interest rate to enable smooth flow of investment.
Sentencia Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, corrupción y derecho al voto en Estados Unidos
Authors: Jiménez Esclusa Héctor
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se estudia la sentencia Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Ciudadanos Unidos contra la Comisión de Elecciones Federales), dictada por la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos como mecanismo de legalización de la influencia irrestricta del financiamiento privado en la política estadounidense. La hipótesis aquí es que esta modificación institucional legaliza, a su vez, una forma de corrupción política que se evidencia en la actual legislación restrictiva del voto. Se presentará un marco referencial en el que se definirán los conceptos que articulan el análisis. Luego, se hará una descripción de los antecedentes y el contexto de la sentencia Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission; en seguida, se realizará un análisis de la sentencia, para pasar luego al repaso de dos de sus consecuencias: la primera es la influencia del dinero negro (donaciones anónimas) tanto en las campañas como en la selección de jueces, y la siguiente es la exposición de la influencia del financiamiento privado ilimitado de las campañas en la legislación restrictiva actual del voto.

From Medical Halakha to Jewish Bioethics
Authors: Henning Alyssa
Published: December 2021

Scholars of applied Jewish ethics often describe the 1959 publication of Jewish Medical Ethics, by Rabbi Immanuel Jakobovits, as the birth of Jewish bioethics. The decades following its publication saw prolific scholarship, predominantly by Orthodox rabbis, that examined questions about medical practice and technology through the lens of halakha, or Jewish law. This article offers an alternative genealogy of Jewish bioethics, proposing that the field actually emerged around the 1990s, when academic ethics scholars began offering critiques of the earlier scholarship, which is better understood as medical halakha. This article outlines key features of medical halakha as compared with Jewish bioethics, clarifies differences between the two, and argues that drawing a distinction between these two genres will enable greater diversity and creativity in Jewish bioethics discourse. The article closes by discussing ways to incorporate Jewish philosophy into Jewish bioethics under this new framework.
The Efficacy of Omega-3 Supplementation in Cognitive Function Improvement: A Systematic Review
Authors: Pellegrin Guilherme Rufino Marques , Belcavello Matheus Pericles , Reis Patrick Ribeiro , Campos Leandro Vespoli
Published: December 2021

Background: Omega-3, composed mainly of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), has aroused great interest due to its neuroprotective properties. Thus, it is believed that these acids can play a protective role against cognitive decline. Objectives: Investigate the effectiveness of Omega-3 supplementation in cognitive function improvement in individuals with, or without, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Design and Setting: Systematic review performed at a medical school in Brazil. Methods: A literature review in the MedLine database was conducted using the following descriptors: “Omega-3 Fatty Acids”, “Cognitive Function” and its variations according to MeSH. Only randomized controlled trials conducted in humans, published in English in the last 10 years were included. The PRISMA statement was used to improve this review. Results: Four randomized controlled trials with DHA and EPA supplementation were analyzed. Narendran R et al. (2012) suggested a significant improvement in the performance of working memory in the 3-back test (p = 0.04). Strike SC et al. (2016) found significant improvements in the VRM memory test (p = 0.029) and in the MOT task (p = 0.038). Stavrinou PS et al. (2020) found significant improvement in the ACE-R and MMSE cognitive tests (p < 0,001; p=0,011) in elderly people with MCI. Bo Y et al. (2017) concluded that the intervention group had a significant improvement in the total BCAT test score (p <0.0001). Conclusions: Omega-3 has shown potential effectiveness in cognitive function improvement, especially in elderly people with MCI. However, it is important to carry out further research in the area.

Published: December 2021

Background: depression and anxiety are common symptoms observed in people with epilepsy and their relatives. Objective: Investigate associations between white matter (WM) changes and psychiatric symptoms in relatives of TLE patients. Methods: We analyzed brain MRI with DTI from 40 TLE relatives and applied the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). We extracted 6 WM tracts (fornix, cingulum, uncinate fasciculus (UF), inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, corpus callosum, corticospinal tract) and analyzed fractional anisotropy (FA), medium diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD) and radial diffusivity (RD). We investigated correlations between scores and the DTI measures. Symptoms of depression were positive with BDI scores above 10, while symptoms of anxiety were positive with BAI scores above 11. Results: we observed a prevalence of 37.5% of depressive symptoms and 27.5% of anxious symptoms. BDI correlated with FA in the left cingulum (p=0.0003;r=-0.547); and with MD in the right cingulum (p=0.015;r=0.401) and right and left UF (p=0.023;r=0.374 and p=0.021;r=0.363). BDI correlated also with RD in the left and right cingulum (p=0.0003;r=0.583 and p=0.015;r=0.401). BAI correlated with fornix`s FA (p=0.026;r=- 0.352), and with MD in the left cingulum (p=0.01;r=0.415) and left UF (p=0.003;r=0.374) and with RD in the left cingulum (p=0.022;r=0.371) and left UF (p=0.01;r=0.440). Discussion: The regions correlated with psychiatric symptoms here overlap with those affected in patients with epilepsy, however, they differ from areas mainly affected in patients with isolated depression. We hypothesize a possible genetic substrate involved in comorbidity between epilepsy and depression, distinct from psychiatric disease in people without epilepsy.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Meningitis is a potentially fatal disease. Vaccines play a fundamental role in its prevention, so it is important to reflect on the vaccination coverage (VC) performed in Brazil and in its regions. Objectives: To analyze the VC of meningitis in Brazil and regions in the last decade. Design and setting: Ecological study carried out in Brazil. Methods: Data were collected in the Information System of the National Immunization Program from the Computer Department of the Unified Health System between 2011 and 2020. The variables analyzed were: region, capitals and immunizers, which are Meningococcus C, Pneumococcal, Haemophilus influenzae b and Tetravalente. Evaluation by the Research Ethics Committee was waived because it is public data. Results: During this period, the national VC against meningitis was 86.8%, with 19.8% of reduction when comparing 2011 and 2020. The South had the highest VC (91.0%), followed by the MidWest (90.2%), Southeast (88.7%), Northeast (85.0%) and North (76.6%), while the Southeast suffered the greatest reduction (24.0%) and the North the smallest (9.6%). The capitals had a total VC of 83.7%. The vaccines meningococcus C and pneumococcal had higher levels of total VC (92.9% and 90.4%, respectively), while their booster doses had VC of 85.4% and 83.3%, respectively. The tetravalent vaccine had a rate of 77.0%. Conclusions: Except for the North, Brazilian regions have obtained adequate VCs in the last decade, but these rates have been decreasing. It is urgent to strengthen the national vaccination plan in the country, especially in the North.

Published: December 2021

The valorization of by‐products is currently a matter of great concern to improve the sustainability of the food industry. High quality by‐products derived from the food chain are omega‐3 fatty acids, being fish the main source of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. The search for economic and sustainable sources following the standards of circular economy had led to search for strategies that put in value new resources to obtain different omega‐3 fatty acids, which could be further employed in the development of new industrial products without producing more wastes and economic losses. In this sense, seeds and vegetables, fruits and crustaceans by products can be an alternative. This review encompasses all these aspects on omega‐3 fatty acids profile from marine and agri‐food by‐products together with their extraction and purification technologies are reported. These comprise conventional techniques like extraction with solvents, cold press, and wet pressing and, more recently proposed ones like, supercritical fluids fractionation and purification by chromatographic methods. The information collected indicates a trend to combine different conventional and emerging technologies to improve product yields and purity. This paper also addresses encapsulation strategies for their integration in novel foods to achieve maximum consumer acceptance and to ensure their effectiveness.

Authors:   Escuela Secundaria Oficial No. 0778 ", Márquez Flores Domingo ,   Agustín González"
Published: December 2021

Derivado de la investigación sobre el desarrollo de la comunicación oral de los alumnos de inglés del nivel medio superior en el salón de clases, este artículo tiene como propósito dilucidar las estrategias de aprendizaje que ponen en marcha los estudiantes para el desarrollo de su comunicación oral de esta lengua. La perspectiva metodológica cualitativa de este trabajo se apoyó en el primer paradigma exploratorio interpretativo, propuesto por Nunan (1992), quien refiere que la investigación es un proceso sistemático de indagación que consiste en una pregunta, problema o hipótesis, información, análisis e interpretación de la información. Los resultados de este estudio develaron las estrategias que los alumnos señalan poseer, pero éstas no se manifiestan en el acto de entablar una comunicación oral en inglés; además, dejó de manifiesto la carencia de estrategias efectivas de los alumnos para fortalecer su comunicación oral y de la urgencia de propiciar en los alumnos más y efectivas estrategias que coadyuven en su comunicación oral y, en ese sentido, repensar nuestra práctica docente.

Purpose. Heritage cities face the challenge of sustainable management of activities related to leisure and tourism due to the vulnerability of the environment. Every tourist destination has a social carrying capacity from which levels of the development of the activity are unacceptable, so the presence of tourists can become intolerable to the local population. This research analyzes the perception of the impacts generated by tourism in the residents of the Historic Center of Havana, Cuba.Design/methodology/approach. Firstly, a theoretical framework is set as a base for this research. It has been proceeded to an exhaustive review on the literature about residents’ perception of the impacts generated by tourism. The references related to the relationship between tourism, heritage and city have been considered, which have made it possible to elaborate the context of the tourist development in the Historic Center of Havana. Afterwards, it has been implemented qualitative methodologies commonly used in the Geography of Perception, based on the administration of surveys among the city’s inhabitants.Findings. The results extracted in the research can be used to decision-making, as they reflect the impacts associated with the insertion of tourism in the socioeconomic panorama of local actors, which can support the establishment of management models focused on the resident population.Originality. The research focuses on the resident population’s view of tourist activity in Havana. This element has been barely paid attention in previous research. The analysis of the data from the questionnaires offers valuable information obtained from primary sources.
Kako harmonizirati oficijelnu i cjeloživotnu (kontinuirano - inovativnu) obrazovnu djelatnost?
Authors: Žiga Jusuf
Published: December 2021

Specificity of educational occupation in modern and post-modern societies is reflected in the fact that new knowledge and skills appear much faster nowadays, whereby they are being included into educational systems through repression of existing educational forms and programmes. But this often causes confusion, fears, obstructions and it even compromises the validity of educational activities affected by this accelerated renewal. Problems manifest not only in attitudes towards so-called lifelong, non-formal and informal education activities, but also within official education systems. A question arises if it is even possible to harmonise the official educational practice, which is rather inert, and lifelong respectively continual-innovative educational activities? In this paper we analyse the evident incomprehension of inovative educational programmes and learning forms and on the other hand the lack of understanding of importance of science and education as qulitative factors for the societal development in modern times with focus on lifelong learning of adults.

Published: December 2021

In a modern world, learning and education define the way of man's survival as well as social and individual development. We've been witnesses of everyday's growth of the educational needs of each individual, i.e. that the employment, the progress in one's profession, the change or keeping a workplace require induction into the learning and education process. It has been known to us that the process of participation of adults into the education programmes is followed by various impediments, and the result of that is extremely low rate of participation in Montenegro, as well as in the other countries of the region. Therefore, this paper is directed towards perceiving the key impediments in the education of adults, in fact, the goal of the research was actually about establishing the impediments hierarchy and establishing a connection between a set of social-demographic characteristics and the educational impediments, as well as the level of educational disruption.
Medijska konstrukcija kolektivnih sjećanja: Tretman prošlosti u polju novinarstva, s osvrtom na postdejtonsku Bosnu i Hercegovinu
Authors: Mahmutović Mirza
Published: December 2021

In this work we critically consider the practice of treating history in the area of journalism respectively media as an distinctive institutional arena of contemporary communities for establishment, maintenance and transformation of common frameworks of understanding and commemorating of certain episodes from the past. We intent to offer plausible explanations regarding the relations between ''culture of remembrances'' and ''culture of reporting''. Article suggests how to approach the often misunderstood history in informative activitiy, which in its field of action and by definition does not have the dimension of history but the dimension of social situation of contemporariness. We also form the key operations and strategies used in shaping the repertoire of journalistic reports on the past. Described practices we study on the example of post-Dayton BiH, analysing media treatment of conflict areas during the recent war history. Legitimisation of ethnic-national visions of the past through the discourse of reporting has been recognised as the dominant way of working in the ''media memory filed''. Two key paradoxes of these practices are highlighted: coexistence of opposite discourses of commemoration and codification of abjection experiences by the same group of significations which have initially inducted the war traumas. We point out at least two conditions which facilitate these paradoxes: ambiguity of the past, concpetion of time which is assumed by post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina as an inherently uncompleted/imperfect country and technologies of culturised steering of trauma, which is being used by regimes of therapeutic/transitional justice'' to cope with disturbing history in post-conflict communities.
Osposobljavanje univerzitetskih nastavnika za efikasniji odgojno-obrazovni rad kroz upotrebu kognitivno-bihevioralnih principa terapijskog rada
Authors: Šuvalija Mustafa
Published: December 2021

Attitudes of students towards education represent one the most important determinants of their motivation for learning and academic success. Possession of tools for modification of those attitudes, when they prevent academic participation and success, would simplify the rearing and teaching role of teachers. Since cognitive therapy is highly efficient approach of changing behaviour by changing beliefs (including attitudes), the adaption of its basic principles and techniques in education context regarding modification of relevant attitudes, as well as education of teachers in the filed of cognition-based techniques, could satisfy the need for such a tool. Here we present the theoretical elaboration of possibilities to integrate the principles and techniques of cognitive therapy into educational process in order to facilitate change of attitudes which can inconveniently affect academic inclusion and success of students.

Authors:   South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Yakova Iveta
Published: December 2021

The writing of this article was provoked by another case of aggression against a teacher in a Bulgarian school. For the purposes of the analysis, a “case study” method was used to “dissect” the school situation that took place. The latter facilitates the derivation of the specific factors for the registered event. Through the code of linguistic communication, inductive generalizations stood out, which were related to deductive ones, generated by secondary analysis of data from the sociological research conducted in our country. The considered situation focuses on the Finnish school bullying intervention program KiVa, developed by the University of Turku, understood as an alternative to reducing school aggression and victimization. Besides, it also builds a safe and secure school environment.

Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Shtereva Katerina , Karabeliova Sonya
Published: December 2021

This study aims to establish correlations between the use of digital devices for literacy activities and the demographic and socio-cultural characteristics of parents, children and the family during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria. Thе study includes parents of 172 children aged 2 to 8 who completed online questionnaires related to home learning activities and the use of digital devices by families and children. The findings show that parents have a positive attitude towards engaging in literacy and reading activities through digital devices with their children, but do not support the excessive use of digital devices by children. We found that older children, girls, and children who use digital devices to communicate with family members and friends are more likely to engage in literacy activities through digital devices. Our findings corroborate other recent studies in underscoring the importance of partnership between children and their parents for children’s development in today’s environment.

Backgrounds: The study was designed as a methodological and randomized controlled experimental study to analyze self-efficacy and quality of life of stroke patients.

Methods: The population of the study included stroke patients who received outpatient care at an acute stroke center between March –November, 2016. The study was performed with 72 patients. The patients in the experimental group received educational booklet and were included in a 3-month follow-up. The data for the study were collect using a Questionnaire Form, Quality of Life Scale for Stroke Patients, SSEQ and Monthly Follow-up Form.

Results: It was determined that the experimental group given the educational booklet and monthly follow-up had higher scores in both self-efficacy and quality of life than the patients in control group. In the experimental group, the analysis between total scores from SSEQ and SS-QOL demonstrated increased correlation coefficient for the second visit compared with the first visit. Self-efficacy was positively correlated with the mobility, upper extremity function and self-care domains, and was negatively correlated with the language domain.

Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that education and follow-up in stroke patients are effective and has positive impact on self-efficacy and quality of life.

Tracking COVID-19 Decease Through Rolling Conditional Variance
Authors: Gurrola-Rios Cesar , Jimenez-Preciado Ana Lorena
Published: December 2021

The effects of COVID-19 have been devastating globally. However, countries have essential asymmetries regarding the disease spread dynamics and the respective mortality rates. In addition to containment strategies and boosting growth and economic development in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, society calls for solutions that allow the development of vaccines, treatments for the disease, and especially, indicators or early warnings that anticipate the evolution of new infections and deaths. This research aims to track the total deaths caused by COVID-19 in the most affected countries by the pandemics after the approval, distribution, and implementation of vaccines from 2021. We proposed an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) specification as a first adjustment. Subsequently, we estimate the conditional variance of total deaths from an Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH). Finally, we compute a rolling density backtesting within a 7-day rolling window to demonstrate the robustness estimation for COVID-19 mortality. The work's main contribution lies in exhibiting a tracking indicator for volatility and COVID-19 direction, including a weekly window to observe its evolution.

Groundnut, an important food legume, is extensively grown in semi-arid regions of India. Water use, water use efficiency and yield response of groundnut grown at three locations, viz., Bellary, Rahuri and Anand during kharif season have been studied for 3 to 5 years. Reduction in pod yield due to moisture stress was found greatest at Rahuri, where a relatively short duration crop was grown in a clayey soil. Total water use was highest at Anand, followed by Bellary and Rahuri. The water use was 660, 460 and 410 mm respectively. At all locations evapotranspiration by the crop was maximal at peg formation to pod development stage of crop growth. The water use efficiency was highest at Bellary followed by Anand and Rahuri. The relative evapotranspiration ratio ETc/ETo for the entire growing season was 0.97, 0.63 and 0.92 at Anand, Bellary and Rahuri respectively. Pod yield showed good correspondence with total water use.
Estimating potato crop wetness duration from agrometeorological data

Published: December 2021

Hourly meteorological observations over a potato crop field were used to validate a biophysical model and different thresholds of relative humidity (RH) to simulate the onset. cessation and total wetness duration (WD). The model showed the capability to simulate multiple wet and dry conditions as well as prolonged moist conditions with a mean absolute error of less than an hour. The deviation between measured and estimated onset and total WD was more pronounced when only RH was used. However, under the prevailing agroclimatic conditions of potato growing regions in India, 80% RH threshold may adequately be accurate to estimate WD for many weather-based disease management advisories.

The meteorological week-wise soil thermal regime in the root zone (5, 15 and 30 cm depth) of pigeonpea and pigeonpea based groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) cropping systems was studied in relation to various meteorological parameters twice a day, 0738 and 1438 hrs (IST) for three years (1986-87, 1987-88 and 1988-89), in the middle Gujarat region.

 

A decline in soil thermal regime was observed on three occasions during the crop growth period viz., at onset of SW monsoon, at the end of rainy season and at the time of harvesting of intercrop, In sole pigeonpea, the soil temperature upto 30 cm depth can be estimated from mean air temperature, whereas in the pigeonpea + groundnut cropping system, before harvest of intercrop the minimum and maximum temperature were found to be more appropriate for estimation of morning and afternoon time respectively, but only in the top layers of the soil.

Multi-cell and single-cell clouds were analysed using Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS-5) data on 6 and 13 August 1997 in and around Bangladesh. The multi-cell cloud moved NE with a speed of about 6 m/s and lasted approximately 21 hours. The single-cell cloud moved SE with a speed of about 13 m/s and lasted approximately 12 hours. Clouds move faster on oceans than on land. At the mature stage of the cloud, convective component was 40% and the rest was stratiform. The precipitable portion of the cloud was 74% and the rest was non-precipitable which differs from the reported value.

Published: December 2021

Temperature, wind, and humidity data at 6 levels over meteorological towers at Kharagpur and Jodhpur and fast data at Jodhpur (Sonic anemometer at 4m and Gill anemometer  15 m) and Kharagpur (Sonic anemometer at 8m and Gill anemometer at 15m) were analysed. Diurnal variation of boundary layer heights and eddy diffusivity coefficient of moment, heat and moisture at dry convective region Jodhpur (26° N, 73°E) and moist convective region Kharagpur (22.3°N, 87.2°E) of monsoon trough during onset of monsoon, mid-monsoon and end-monsoon phases of the Indian southwest monsoon are studied using micro meteorological tower data. Boundary layer height is computed by eddy correlation (direct method) and profile method {indirect method). Indirect method underestimates the boundary layer height.

Published: December 2021

The present study deals with influence of radiation, maximum temperature, hours of bright sunshine, relative humidity and surface wind on evaporation at Calcutta, Pune and New Delhi. Daily data from 1991-94 of January, May, June, July and October have been utilized. Direct and indirect influence of the weather factors have been determined through "path analysis" and discussed. Multiple regression equations have also been developed with evaporation as the dependent variable and the above five weather parameters as independent variables.

 

The results reveal that radiation and maximum temperature are the two most important parameters which enhance evaporation. Most of their effect is direct though in some cases their interaction with relative humidity or wind also contribute significantly to evaporation. Humidity and surface wind, generally, do not significantly contribute directly to evaporation; their effect is manifested through interaction with maximum temperature, indirectly.
Air pollution climatology of Cochin for pollution management and abatement planning

The prevailing atmospheric condition is very important in determining the dispersion and dilution and thereby the resulting concentration of air pollutants, While high wind speed and stability conditions in general favour good inhaling of air pollutants conditions like inversion and calm winds cause for the build up of pollutants. In order to understand the different favourable and unfavourable conditions, some of the atmospheric aspects of air pollution are studied for the industrial city Cochin, situated on the west coast of India.

 

Being a coastal city the frequency of occurrence of inversions and isothermal is not very high. Low values of mixing heights are observed in the southwest parts of the city during early morning hours, The study of spatial variation of mixing heights has revealed for the first time, that a single value of mixing height at the normal point of observation cannot be taken as a representative value for the whole city.

Trends in cyclonic disturbances for the period 1891-1997 were studied over Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. It is noticed that there is a significant decreasing trend at 99% level of confidence in the frequency of storms. The slopes of decreasing trend in cyclonic activity over Bay of Bengal and that over Arabian Sea were found to be maximum during last four decades. Weakening of Hadley circulation due to upper tropospheric warming may be one of the cause of this decreasing trend. There appears to be decrease in intensification of cyclonic disturbances in recent period.
