Observations of the Upper Ocean from Autonomous Platforms during the Passage of Extratropical Cyclone Epsilon (2020)
Authors:   , Zimmerman Michael T.
Published: October 2023

Hurricane Epsilon (2020) was a late-season, category-3 tropical cyclone that underwent extratropical transition and became Extratropical Cyclone Epsilon on 26 October. The upper ocean response to the passage of the storm was observed by three types of autonomous platforms: the eXpendable Spar buoy, the Air-Launched Autonomous Micro Observer profiling float, and two Seagliders. Taken together, this array enabled the rare collection of contemporaneous observations of the upper ocean, air-sea interface, and atmospheric boundary layer before, during, and after the passage of the storm. The evidence presented highlights how Extratropical Cyclone Epsilon broke down the residual North Atlantic summer stratification regime and accelerated the shift to the period of prolonged ocean cooling associated with winter. The significance of the synergistic capabilities of the array is two-fold: 1) comparing observations of the same parameters, taken from different platforms, enables a comprehensive approach to better understanding how storm-induced momentum, sensible heat, and moisture fluxes input kinetic and near-inertial energy into the ocean and thereby alter upper ocean structure; and 2) future, targeted deployments of similarly capable observational arrays will reduce the uncertainty of tropical and extratropical cyclone intensity forecasts by facilitating the assimilation of real-time subsurface ocean data into coupled numerical prediction models.
Legal Aspects of Creating a Special International Tribunal for the Crime of Russian Aggression against Ukraine
Authors:   West Ukrainian National University, Koruts Uliana
Published: October 2023

The article examines the concept and legal aspects of creating a special international tribunal regarding the crime of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Although this research topic first emerged after the events of 2014 related to the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, scientific interest in the study of this problem increased after the criminal full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of the sovereign state of Ukraine. The author considers the evolution of creation of select military tribunals, the specifics of their activities, and the established practice of prosecuting the crimes of aggression. Additionally, the analysis focuses on statements regarding the idea of creating a special international tribunal for the Russian Federation for crimes of aggression against Ukraine. It is substantiated that the highest form of international justice in the modern world is a tribunal, as it provides for a public and inevitable punishment and it acts as one of the elements guaranteeing the inviolability of the international legal order at the same time. The creation of a special tribunal for the Russian Federation will be the impetus for new approaches to expand the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court so that it can prosecute acts of aggression, and Ukraine will serve as an example for responding to aggression. The author determined, the establishment of an international tribunal for the first time is a complex process because it is often necessary to find new and completely original solutions to many legal and practical problems facing the tribunal. Moreover, the sum total of these decisions should provide the basis for a reasonable and universally applicable jurisdiction for future generations, at the same time allowing the tribunal to take into account the social, cultural and historical context of the conflict in question and to reflect this context to some extent in its decisions and practice.

Earthships remain a relatively underexplored type of sustainable/alternative home. This is the first study to investigate the personal experiences of constructing and living in European Earthship homes. The aim of this study is to reveal insights into the ‘hands-on’ practical experience of persons who have constructed their own Earthship homes and to gather insights into the collective experience of these dwellers on the realities of living full time in an Earthship home. A phenomenological methodology, using an inductive research approach, was utilised through a qualitative research strategy to solicit insights into the personal experiences of these unique persons. The main themes and sub-themes that emerge from the analysis are that anyone from any background can make the shift to building/living in an Earthship home. However, a mixed skill set and knowledge of building trades, plus physical and emotional prowess, are needed for the long-haul build process, which, together with access to financial means and/or available materials, are critical factors that influence the outcome of the Earthship building. Meanwhile, once constructed, off-grid living in an Earthship home gives dwellers a greater connectivity with the natural world, raises awareness of consumerism and leads to enhanced appreciation of human impacts.
Lower carbon dioxide cements and concretes: Bringing new materials into UK industrial use
Authors: Dunster Andrew , Marriott Elsabeth
Published: October 2023

Cement and concrete are essential for global development. However, cement manufacture is responsible for around 7–8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with significant growth anticipated. Beyond efficiencies in cement manufacturing, other strategies for using less cement in construction through applying the principles of efficient design, circular economy and reuse also have the potential to reduce emissions. A further option is to move towards cements with different compositions and inherently lower embodied carbon dioxide. This paper focuses on these materials and the challenges to their widespread adoption, drawing mainly on applied research, trials and standardisation activities conducted in the UK and the EU. In addition to modification of standards, basic technical and practical information such as strength development curves, durability, site considerations and a shared broad body of evidence are key for specifiers to consider when using any new cement. The paper describes the role of standards and specifications and the underpinning information (applied research, published case studies and experience) essential in getting any new cement adopted. It also shows how a range of evidence from research and application can feed into a simple conceptual model and evidence base.
Inherited Geometry: a Socio-Professional Pattern in the Low Countries, 1480-1560
Authors: Kik Oliver
Published: October 2023

At the beginning of the 16th century the Habsburg Low Countries witnessed the emergence of a highly skilled class of painters who also often actively engaged in architectural design practice. This phenomenon has often been explained as being the result of an influx of Italian and humanist thinking about the artist such via the writings of figures like Alberti and Vitruvius. In this article, I propose an alternative account, using selected case studies to argue that this development was an internal process. Essential to changing design practices was the transfer of geometrical design knowledge between guilds, a transfer that transgressed traditional boundaries. Finally, I explore the effect of this knowledge dissemination on the evolving status of the visual artist.

Published: October 2023

Eating Disorders represent one of the fastest-growing mental health problems in the world. While a diagnosis of an eating disorder can only be made after careful psychiatric evaluation, the detection of “at-risk” individuals can be conducted through screening programs that use tools such as the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), a test used to measure the symptoms and concerns characteristic of eating disorders. This observational study was designed to evaluate the presence of at-risk individuals, using the EAT-26, among young athletes in “lean sports”, young athletes in non-”lean sports”, young non-athlete sportspeople, and young people who did not practice any sports. In addition, the presence of a correlation between the risk of developing eating disorders, gender, and age was also investigated. The results identified a prevalence of risk of 13% among study participants. None of the subjects who did not engage in any physical activity obtained a test score that could be considered at risk. Furthermore, no correlation was found between gender and the scores obtained. These results should be taken into consideration to emphasize the importance of nutritional intervention by expert and qualified personnel within various sports societies, in order to prevent the development of these pathologies and at the same time increase and improve performance.

Published: October 2023

This research identifies the challenges encountered by higher education instructors who provide education to special needs students in their classes and the solutions they propose to address these challenges. The study investigated the level of knowledge of instructors regarding their students with special needs, the opinions of the instructors on encountered problems, the reasons and solutions of these problems, and the self-assessment of instructors and their institutions regarding the education provided to students with special needs. The participants of the study consisted of 25 higher education instructors who provide education to students with special needs in their classes. The participants were selected using maximum diversity and criterion sampling types of purposive sampling method. Data for the research were collected with semi-structured interview form and were analyzed using the descriptive content analysis method. Research findings showed that the instructors lacked sufficient knowledge about disabilities, did not feel qualified in terms of academic adaptations, found their higher education institution to be insufficient in terms of accessibility, and noted low awareness among academic and administrative staff. Research concluded that awareness-raising activities, personnel training regarding the characteristics of disabled students and possible accommodations, and necessary adjustments should be made in terms of accessibility. Recommendations were developed accordingly in this context.
Winners and Losers From Trade Agreements: Stock Market Reactions to TPP and TTIP
Authors: Dür Andreas , Lechner Lisa
Published: October 2023

Which companies gain and which companies lose from trade agreements? In contrast to a view that sees the largest companies as the main beneficiaries of trade agreements, we argue that medium-sized companies gain the most from them. Moreover, we examine whether more capital-intensive and more diversified companies benefit more than other firms. Our empirical test relies on a dataset with daily firm-level stock price data for close to 4,000 US companies over the period 2009–2016. Concretely, we assess how the shares of different types of firms reacted to the news on the (lack of) progress of the negotiations aimed at concluding the TPP and TTIP. We find support for the view that medium-sized and diversified companies win the most from trade agreements. Besides speaking to the literature on the distributional effects of trade agreements, the article contributes to recent research on the role of firms in the international political economy and the stock market consequences of political events. It also presents a novel approach to measuring progress and stagnation in international trade negotiations using computational text analysis.
BOYLAMSAL VERİLERİN ANALİZİNDE KULLANILAN SPLAYN MODELLERİ
Authors: KALKAN Seda BAĞDATLI
Published: October 2023

Boylamsal veriler, aynı birimlere ait özelliklerin zaman içerisinde tekrarlı olarak ölçülmesi ile elde edilen verilerdir. Boylamsal verilerin analizi, bağımsızlık ve sabit varyanslılık varsayımı sağlanamadığından klasik regresyon modelleri ile gerçekleştirilememektedir. Bu nedenden dolayı boylamsal veriler için özel regresyon modelleri geliştirilmiştir. Klasik parametrik modeller, bağımlı değişken ile bağımsız değişken(ler) arasındaki ilişkinin doğrusal olması veya ilişkinin bilinen parametrik fonksiyonlarla ifade edilmesi temeline dayanmaktadır. Bu durumda da gerçek ilişki yapısı ortaya çıkarılamamaktadır. Boylamsal veri setlerinde bu durum güvenilir ve mantıklı sonuçlara ulaşılmasını engelleyecektir. Dolayısıyla boylamsal verilerde bağımlı değişken ile bağımsız değişken(ler) arasındaki ilişkinin daha karmaşık olduğu durumlarda, parametrik olmayan regresyon modelleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada boylamsal verilerin analizinde kullanılan parametrik olmayan regresyon modellerinden splayn modelleri teorik olarak incelenmiştir.

Published: October 2023

Conventional aqueous eye drop formulations have a shorter retention period and wash out of the precorneal region more easily. In this study, biodegradable microsphere-loaded hydrogels were developed to extend the time of residence and improve the drug bioavailability. The prepared microspheres were fabricated using PLGA as the biodegradable polymer and PVA as the surfactant. Hydrogels were prepared using Carbopol 940 and Gellan gum as gelling agents. Methods: The microspheres were created through a technique known as double emulsion solvent evaporation method. Evaluation included for its percentage yield, entrapment efficiency, particle size and surface morphology of the prepared microspheres. Timolol Maleate microsphere loaded hydrogel underwent assessments for pH, spreadability, rheological behaviour, sterility, antimicrobial efficacy, in vitro release studies, drug release kinetics and ocular irritation. Results: FTIR analysis confirmed compatibility between the drug and polymer. SEM observations indicated spherical microspheres with sizes ranging from 1 to 12 µm, suitable for ocular application. All formulations exhibited pH values between 4.2 and 5.0, with gelation occurring at 35°C to 38°C. Formulation F3 demonstrated optimal viscosity (1486 – 1850 cps) and good spreadability. Sterility tests were successful, and F3 displayed a drug release of 82.6% after 24 hours. Antimicrobial studies exhibited inhibition zones, and ocular tests on rabbits revealed no irritation. Stability analysis indicated no significant changes in pH or clarity. Conclusion: Based on physiological, rheological, and in vitro evaluations F3 was identified as the most suitable formulation for extended Timolol Maleate release via hydrogel, holding promise for effective glaucoma treatment.

Published: October 2023

La destilación por membranas es una tecnología de separación impulsada térmicamente en proceso de comercialización. Desde el punto de vista de control, esta tecnología ha recibido especial atención en las últimas décadas, con diferentes enfoques que tratan de mantener la temperatura del fluido caliente del proceso a niveles deseados, sobre todo, cuando se emplea energía solar como fuente de alimentación. Sin embargo, otro elemento fundamental de la tecnología es el circuito de refrigeración, el cual, en la mayoría de casos, se basa en enfriadores que aumentan considerablemente los costes de operación. Así, este trabajo explora la aplicación de estrategias de control para el uso del mar como fuente refrigerante. Se trata de un estudio preliminar en el que el método de control propuesto se basa en una estrategia de control por realimentaci´on basada en un controlador Proporcional Integral Derivativo. Las pruebas reales realizadas en una instalación piloto en la Plataforma Solar de Almería demuestran que la temperatura de entrada al módulo de destilación por membranas por el canal condensación se puede mantener mediante bucles de control por realimentación diseñados adecuadamente, lo que permite, en aplicaciones comerciales, hacer un correcto uso del mar como fuente de refrigeración.

Strategic alternatives for Saudi foreign policy. Comparative analysis of Riyadh's relations with Washington, Beijing and Moscow
Authors: Surkov N.
Published: October 2023

The foreign policy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has undergone significant changes since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) became the de facto head of state. Riyadh has begun to pursue a proactive policy at the regional level, while at the global level, Saudi Arabia is pursuing a policy of balancing, as it is afraid of being drawn into the struggle of the great powers. Simultaneously, the KSA is striving to diversify its external relations, preparing for the planned reduction of the American presence in the Middle East and the Gulf. The article focuses on whether the rapprochement of the KSA with China and Russia can become an alternative to the strategic alliance of the kingdom with the United States. The author aims to analyze the peculiarities of relations of the kingdom with each of the powers and to identify trends in their further development. The article analyzes cooperation on security issues and economic cooperation. It concludes that the KSA is still interested in maintaining and developing strategic relations with the United States, which remains its key ally and an important economic partner. Relations with China, which has become the main trading partner, are built according to the «economy plus» formula, which suggests gradual development of political ties. Russia is important as a partner in the energy market within the OPEC+ format, and can also help resolve several regional crises. A comparative analysis of Saudi Arabia's relations with the United States, China and the Russian Federation shows that in the medium term there is no alternative for Riyadh but to maintain and develop relations with Washington.
International legal policy of a state. Modern concepts
Authors: Vylegzhanin A. , Magomedova O.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the phenomenon of the international legal policy of state, which has been conceptually developed in the French legal doctrine. According to the classical concept of the present phenomenon, each state seeks to contribute to the content of international legal norms by participating in the coordination of wills of states in different ways. To promote and assert its position on existing and nascent international legal norms, the state constructs a policy, which guides its international legal practice. However, the conduct of an individual international legal policy raises questions, including critical ones. Interpretation of the role of international legal policy as a simple legal justification for politically motivated decisions leads to the "instrumental" concept of international legal policy. However, in the classical concept, the consideration of international law as an instrument of the state's foreign policy is not acceptable and, moreover, contradicts the very objective of international legal policy – legitimation. The achievement of this purpose is subject to the principle of the rule of international law in international relations. In its turn the instrumental understanding of the international legal policy allows for departures from the existing international law and thereby contributes to international legal destabilization. In this context, the article shows that being flexible the international law develops with the changing interests of states on the international arena on the background of various interstate relations, while the international law’s flexibility is considered as an essential prerequisite for its development. and tasks of states in the international arena. During the development of new norms of international law, the conduct by the state of a competent, active international legal policy, even if its partners do not agree with it, does not per se prejudice the foundations of international law. On the contrary, the policy aimed at its adjustment is a conditio sine qua non for the maintenance of international legal order, its evolutionary adaptation to changing international relations, other challenges of our time. Thuswise the concept of international legal policy allows us to reconsider the competition of multi-vector international legal «manoeuvers" of states.

Using the Culture Diamond Model to Analyze the Relations between the Artists on Audiences through Music Videos under Vietnamese Social Context Based on Case Study MV “There’s No One At All”: Perspective from Students at FPT University
Authors: Thi My Danh Le , Ai Linh Tong , Tran Bang Bang Nguyen , Hai Ha Phuong Nguyen , Thanh Vinh Vu , Hong Hai Le
Published: October 2023

The parasocial contact between artists/creators and audiences is partly established and maintained by media products. Media products such as music videos (MVs) and songs may contain not only the creators’ experiences but also their ideals, philosophy, and enthusiasm. Media products provide a means for audiences to approach admired icons. Audiences can comprehend the message and value the artist wants to impart. However, external factors such as cultural and social context may impact the process of generating music videos and perceiving the message from the creator(s). Sometimes, the messages of creators may not be consumed, or accepted in ways that the creators wish, causing controversy in social and public contexts. This paper aims at testing the relations in Vietnam’s social context through the case study MV "There's No One At All" performed by Son Tung M-TP. The MV was removed in Vietnam since its contents are accused of being "contrary to national norms and customs, negatively harming religion, ethics, public health, and psychosocial," regardless that Son Tung M-TP is one of the singers with the largest fan base in Vietnam currently. The authors use Griswold’s Cultural Diamond Model (CDM) as a theoretical framework and conduct a survey to collect perspectives from 257 Vietnamese youth who are studying at FPT University to understand their thinking and feelings about the MV and compare the findings with what the signers wanted to convey through the MV and common opinions regarding the MV. The findings show that more than half of the responses agreed that the MV's image, content, and lyrics contained negative, suicidal elements. However, nearly a quarter of the respondents accepted the appropriate positive message that Son Tung desired to convey. This study is one of the very first studies that test whether the CDM is applicable in Vietnamese culture and society and plays a milestone in studying the relationship between famous artists and mass audiences in Vietnam’s entertainment industry.
A POLÍTICA DA BOA VIZINHANÇA NAS PÁGINAS DA REVISTA FOREIGN AFFAIRS (1941-1946)
Authors: Moll Neto Roberto , Leal Beatriz
Published: October 2023

A partir de 1941, administração de Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) (1933-1945) desenvolveu a Política da Boa Vizinhança (PBV), que passou a pautar a política externa dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) para a América Latina e o Caribe (ALC) de forma significativa. Com o objetivo de oferecer resposta à crise econômica de 1929 e ao crescimento do apoio ao nazifascismo, a Casa Branca, por meio da PBV, substituiu as intervenções diretas dos EUA na ALC por práticas sofisticadas de intervenção indireta. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a repercussão da PBV nos textos da primeira e principal revista a se dedicar exclusivamente às relações internacionais nos EUA: Foreign Affairs. Para isso, adota uma abordagem metodológica que articula processos históricos, conceitos e a interpretação dialética das fontes, considerando a relação entre os elementos externos de produção dos textos e sua hermenêutica. Como resultado da pesquisa, este artigo argumenta que a PBV promoveu a internacionalização e a consolidação de elementos de valorização da cultura estadunidense e, por oposição, retratou as repúblicas latino-americanas com estereótipos e clichês diametrais, objetivos e generalistas.
TENSÕES ENTRE CORPOS VETORES E CORPOS POLÍTICOS

Published: October 2023

Este artigo focaliza nas memórias dos itinerários da Aids, principalmente, diante dos distintos jogos históricos e políticos que se produziram desde sua emergência como problemática de um tempo. Nesses jogos, considera-se a intersecção entre corpo político e corpo vetor na cena da política de Aids no Brasil como disparador analítico da constituição de tais corpos. O texto se apoia em uma perspectiva pós-estruturalista e contra-colonial para problematizar as formas biopolíticas e necropolíticas de gestão da vida que constituem políticas de subjetivação: corpo-vetor e corpo-político no contemporâneo. A analítica dessas memórias dos itinerários é produzida a partir dos modos de acesso às políticas públicas constituídas por distintas estratégias e tecnologias de governo da vida em termos de visibilidades e invisibilidades de corpos e populações e suas implicações para o campo da prevenção, especialmente, diante da construção e rearticulação do discurso político à epidemia de HIV/Aids no país.
“INFÂNCIA É COISA, COISA?”
Authors: Oliveira Érika Cecília Soares , Rocha Késia dos Anjos
Published: October 2023

Neste artigo sustentamos que enquanto categoria etária, as infâncias têm sido construídas de modo hierárquico, colocadas como um vir a ser que justificaria sua incapacidade de se projetar no mundo, dada sua suposta imaturidade. No Brasil essa ideia ganha relevância estratégica a partir dos anos de 2010, quando se constrói a crença de que as crianças estariam sob grave ameaça pois estariam expostas a debates de gênero, sobretudo em espaços educacionais. A partir de leituras feministas e queer, nossos esforços se voltam para as políticas promovidas pelo Ministério da Mulher, da Família e dos Direitos Humanos a fim de compreendermos como grupos conservadores se apropriam da retórica da proteção com vistas a proteger um projeto cisheteropatriarcal que os privilegia. Movimentos de censuras a exposições, perseguição a artistas, filmes e educadoras/es fazem parte desta estratégia que, segundo eles, têm como alvo a preservação da família e o enfrentamento à pedofilia.

O estudo problematiza as estrate?gias de investimento na vida constitui?das pelas poli?ticas pu?blicas de sau?de brasileira durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Para tanto, realiza um estudo com inspirac?a?o genealo?gica que procura compreender os diferentes modos de gesta?o da vida engendrados nas endemias e epidemias de lepra, da peste, da varíola e, na atual, pandemia de Covid-19. Em especial, pretendemos desenvolver a justaposição de dois fatores característicos dos últimos anos e, também do governo Bolsonaro, o uso das redes sociais e das fake news, como ferramentas de gestão que compõem o panorama da governamentalidade algorítmica. A gestão do governo Bolsonaro da pandemia da Covid-19, à revelia das análises que centravam-se em intervenções biopolíticas para o controle do coronavírus, fez avançar no cenário nacional uma gestão centrada na manipulação dos discursos que circulam entre os apoiadores do governo e são gestadas pelo regime digital de exceção. Trata-se da centralização das práticas do governo em fazer valer “verdades” não baseadas na ciência e na estatística, mas como efeito da manipulação e criação discursiva nas redes sociais.

PROCAMBARUS (SCAPULICAMBARUS) CLARKII (GIRARD, 1852), (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: CAMBARIDAE). UNA LANGOSTILLA NO NATIVA EN COLOMBIA
Authors: R. Campos Martha
Published: October 2023

La langostilla Procambarus (Scapulicambarus) clarkii (Girard, 1852) se registra para la Sabana de Bogot´a, Colombia. Esta especie se diferencia de otras especies del g´enero por algunas caracter´ısticas morfol´ogicas en el caparaz´on y en el primer gonopodo del macho. La especie P. (S.) clarkii es originaria de la regi´on nor-oriental de M´exico y de las regiones central y sur de los Estados Unidos. La distribuci´on actual incluye todos los continentes, con excepci´on de Australia y la Ant´artica. Posiblemente en Colombia esta especie fue introducida para cultivo en la d´ecada de 1980, pero no hay evidencia de que se hayan cumplido con las formalidades de ley que protegen las comunidades nativas.

The experiment was conducted on five different cauliflower cultivars viz. Early London, PSBK-1, PSBK-25, Pusa Himjyoti and Snowball Super to study the influence of weather factors viz., temperature, relative humidity and rainfall on the population of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus) and its parasitoid, Diaeretiella rapae (MacIntosh) at Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh during the year 2021-2022. The incidence of B. brassicae was first recorded on cv. Early London, Pusa Himjyoti and Snowball Super during 52nd Standard Meteorological Week (SMW) followed by PSBK-1 and PSBK-25 during 1st SMW while the parasitoid was first noticed in 8th SMW on cv. Early London followed by PSBK-1 (9th SMW), Snowball Super (10th SMW), PSBK- 25 and Pusa Himjyoti (11th SMW). The aphid population was maximum (177 aphids/plant) during 10th SMW whereas, the population of parasitoids was maximum (4.90 mummified aphids/plant) during 11th SMW on Early London. Among all the cultivars, the per cent parasitism by D. rapae was highest (17.31%) on Pusa Himjyoti during 13th SMW. The populations of cabbage aphid and its parasitoids exhibited positive correlation with the temperature and negative correlation with relative humidity and rainfall.

Odonate diversity reflected by wetland quality was carried out on three riverine wetlands (Fazalpur, Sankarda and Sindhrot) of Vadodara district in Central Gujarat during 2014-15. The value of Dissolve Oxygen (DO) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) was highest and the values of Electrical Conductivity (EC), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) as well as total solids in the water were lowest at Fazalpur as compared to other sites. Sankarda Point was slightly more polluted than Fazalpur with a marshy habitat structure which is ideal habitat for Odonates. Odonates diversity was evaluated during September and October at eleven wetland sites around Anand and correlated with water quality parameters. Maximum species richness and species diversity index were recorded at Pariej tank which was the least polluted point. Minimum species richness was observed at Navagam Canal 2 (8 Species) and Canal 1 (10 species) all having huge loads of industrial effluents. The correlation coefficient between the water quality parameter and diversity index (Hʹ) showed that pH had a significant moderate positive correlation (P < 5.0, df. 9) and BOD3 had a significantly higher positive correlation (P < 1.0, df. 9). EC, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Solids (TS) had negative correlation with Odonate diversity. COD and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) exhibited weak negative correlation with Odonate diversity.
