This paper explores a possible way in which strategic asset allocation decision-making processes can suitably exploit Social Impact Investments (SIIs). We focus on the role that SIIs play in the context of variance-minimizing investments. To this aim, we employ an index that tracks companies' financial performance. A hand-collected sample of Social Impact Firms (SIFs) is the basis of the empirical experiments. Our results point out that, on average, investors should invest a relevant fraction of their wealth in stocks of SIFs.
Climate change, Tree Canopy and Aquifer influence on Wetland habitat
Authors: Garg Arti , Joshi Bhavana
Published: February 2022

Impact of climate change in response to tree canopy and aquifer on the wetlands is portrayed in terms of herbaceous flora of the Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary (NBS), Uttar Pradesh. The Dicot herbs were most dominant in the wetland zones which receive ample sunlight and have sufficient moisture content suitable for seed establishment, germination and growth of plants. The sparse canopy also helps in maintaining a relatively warmer climate during winters with proper sunlight infiltration and cooler conditions during summers by allowing air currents to reach the ground zones and regulating CO2 levels in the atmosphere, thus creating a climate ideal for birds.

Tunisian consumer preferences for local forest honey attributes: A market segmentation analysis
Authors: Ben-Ali Samir , Taghouti Ibtissem
Published: February 2022

Aim of study: This study focuses on the segmentation of local forest honey market based on consumer preferences for its origin and other sensory attributes.
Area of study: Tunisia
Material and methods: The empirical analysis relies on a face-to-face questionnaire survey of 200 respondents, conducted in 2019 among Tunisian consumers. A cluster analysis was used to identify the market segments and multinomial logit analysis was used to determine segment membership characteristics.
Main results: Three distinct market segments were identified. The first segment of consumers (44% of the sample) prefer eucalyptus and multifloral honey from the Northwest origin; the second segment (39%) is composed of consumers that tend to buy honey mainly produced in the eastern region of the country; in the third (17%), consumers prefer thyme-rosemary' honey.
Research highlights: Consumer preferences for local forest honey mainly depend on its geographical origin, flower type, flavor and color. Findings suggest that gender, income, and grocery shopping task are the main determinants of the importance of these attributes.
A radar study of Heights of Tops of Cumulonimbus clouds around New Delhi
Authors: SESHADRI N.
Published: February 2022

A study of the height of Cb tops around Delhi as observed bh the high power 3-cm AN-CPS 9 radar on 311 occassions during the various seasons from August 1960 to March 1962 has been studied for this period. The heights of Cb tops grow beyond 40000 ft during the monsoon season on a large number of occassions whereas during the other seasons the tops are much less. There is a tendency of enhanced Cb activity towards the afternoon in the hot weather period while during other seasons there does not seem to exist any such preferred period.
Seasonal variation of atmospheric ozone in India and some ozone-weather relationships
Authors: RANGARAJAN S.
Published: February 2022

An analysis is made of the total ozone amounts determined at the four regular ozone stations in India during the period 1958 to 1960. While the ozone content at Srinagar and Delhi is relatively higher during January-April, that at Kodaikanal is relatively higher during June-September. A very interesting feature of the ozone distribution in India is reversal of the latitudinal gradient of total ozone during the monsoon season which leads to higher ozone in the south than in the north. A possible mechanism to account for this reversal is suggested in terms of seasonal variations in the tropopause height. Good correlations are observed between day to day fluctuations in the ozone at Srinagar and changes in the 500 mb contour heights at Delhi caused by the movement of disturbances in the westerlies. A case study of an abnormal in increase of ozone in association with a western depression in March 1960 is also discussed. The increase of ozone is apparently caused more by vertical descent of stratospheric ozone rich air than by advection of northerly winds.

The study of jet streams over India and to Its north in winter: Part I.
Authors: SINGH SQN. LDR. M. S.
Published: February 2022

Characteristic of   the jet   streams over India and to its nortl1 in winter were studied with the daily vertical cross-sections (1200 GMT) along 75°E from SoN to 60°N for the period 1 to 15 February 1967. It was observed that there are three separate jet cores present in this latitude belt  on most of the days, located on an average at 43oN, 31ON and 23oN. Of these three, the most stable and persistent one is the second, which is located between Delhi and Srinagar, at 200-mb level with an average maximum speed of 140-145 kt. The one to its south is weaker and quite variable in location as well as altitude. The jet at 31oN, therefore, has been called the primary sub-tropical jet over India and its characteristics studied. Based on this study, a model cross-section has been prepared for this STJ. The descriptions of the STJ at 23oN and of PFJ (Polar Front Jet) at 43ON are included.
Influence of various physical factors upon the radiative equilibrium of the atmosphere
Authors: GODBOLE R. V. , KELKAR R. R.
Published: February 2022

The effects of given variations in water vapour, carbon dioxide, and ozone Upon the radiative equilibrium of the atmosphere have been investigated. The equilibrium temperature has been computed as an asymptotic steady state by marching process.

             The study has shown that water vapour can alone account for 96.7 per cent of the temperature distribution of the troposphere, whereas ozone together with carbon dioxide can practically account for the temperature distribution of the stratosphere. Ozone is the only gas responsible for maintaining warm stratosphere. The surface albedo and hence the ground temperature plays a very important role in fixing the temperature distribution of the vertical column.

Concurrent association between 700-mb 5.day mean contour patterns and 5-day rainfall anomaly over India during July
Authors: MOOLEY D. A.
Published: February 2022

Utilising pentad charts for July for the years 1957-1966, broadscale features of 5-day mean contour patterns associated with widespread abnormal and subnormal rainfall over five large areas, viz., northeast, northwest, central, western and southern India have been examined. The association between monsoon trough axis location and rainfall anomaly over these large areas has been brought out, Association between monsoon trough axis location and rainfall has also been investigated for all the sub-divisions of India. The study reveals that for most of the sub-divisions of India the concurrent association between location of monsoon trough axis and occurrence of non-subnormal and non-abnormal rain is high, In conjunction with forecast 5-day mean 700-mb contour chart, these relationships could be used to forecast non-subnormal and non-abnormal rainfall over  most sub-divisions of India.
The role of orography on wind and rainfall distribution in and around a mountain gap: Observational study
Authors: RAMACHANDRAN G.
Published: February 2022

A study of rainfall distribution along the 30 km wide Palghat Gap (Lat. 10046’) at about 97 m above mean sea level between Nilgiris (1 to 1.5km) shows the rainfall decrease gradually and continuously from the coast against the gap cross section. Along the sections north and south f the gap, the rainfall increases upto a certain height from the coast in the windward side and decreases gradually in the lee-side. It is seen that the percentage increase of rainfall at the mountain section with reference to the gap is about 100 per cent at a distance of 60 km from the coast and at a height of about 750 m and decreases thereafter before the peak of the barrier is reached. It is found also that the monsoon winds at the exit of the gap are twice or thrice of the wind speed at the gap.

Published: February 2022

Mean hourly pressure data from two mountain stations above 2 km, Kodaikanal and Ooty are analysed using Fourier analysis, The 12-hr wave fits into the pattern discovered by other workers in the field. In contrast, the 24-hr wave shows a phase difference of about 1800 between Kodaikanal and Ooty. A sort of reversal in the diurnal wave around 2.km level is suspected. Harmonic analyses of temperature data in respect of these hill stations did not reveal any significant differences between them.
Satellite pictures in the study of snow hydrology over Western Himalayas
Authors: SRINIVASAN V. , RAMAN S.
Published: February 2022

Satellite APT pictures for the past few years were examined to study snow cover and snowline over the Western Himalayas. Selected pictures for different months were studied ill detail and a suitable method of snow measurements over the Himalayas for operational use was evolved. The results obtained relate to snow cover, appearance of snow snowline and its variations from place to place. The periods of maximum and minimum snow cover and maximum Snow melt are pointed out. The activity of western disturbances with reference to snow cover in winter and the water budget of the Himalayan rivers in Summer are also touched upon. The snowline measurements compare well with the measurements made by other methods-Gemini V pictures, trigonometrical observations and estimates by ground-based personnel. At times in winter, the snowline comes down as low as 900 m a.s.I. An interesting observation is the location of snowline at a higher elevation on the Tibetan side than on the Indian side. The influence of thick glaciers on the snowline in the west Uttar Pradesh region of the Himalayas is pointed out. The accuracy of the various measurements involved in the method are also discussed in detail. The study establishes the feasibility of reliable measurements of the Himalayan snow from APT pictures and focusses attention on the vast wealth of data that can be derived from these pictures.

Published: February 2022

The excitation of {0,2) band of CO third positive system in the dayglow of martian atmosphere is considered. It is found that the intensity of this band should be several kilorayleighs, the major contribution coming from 115-145 kill region of the atmosphere of mars. Simple calculations show that the intensity of the band is too small to be observed from the surface of the earth, but becomes observable at a distance less than 4000 km from mars.
Anantnag earthquakes (February to April 1967)
Authors: TANDON A. N.
Published: February 2022

A study has been undertaken of the Anantnag earthquake of 20 February 1967 and 80 aftershocks which followed the main shock upto April 1967. The results indicate that the main shock occurred at a depth of about 25 kilometres on a reverse fault striking N 330°E and dipping at an angle of 57° towards N 240oE, having  motion along the direction of dip. The after shocks were also located on the same fault plane at depths varying between 15 and 35 kill. The decay of the sequence of aftershocks can be represented fairly accurately by the relation : N(t)=15/(I-O.5) where, t is in days and N (t} is the number of aftershocks after t days. The aftershock sequence reveals a 'b' value of 0.6 as compared to 1.0 obtained in the case of highly seismic areas, which can be attributed to the greater depth of the shock and also to a lower seismogenic potential of the area.

The total energy released in the aftershocks has been found to be 0.47 times the energy released in the mam shock inspite of the fact that the stored creep strain was 2.3 times that of the elastic strain showing that only 20 per cent of the creep energy was radiated as elastic energy, the remaining being dissipated as heat.

The travel time data of the various crustal phases recorded at near stations indicates that both the Granitic and the Basaltic layers in the region are about 29 km thick i.e., the average depth of the Moho is about 58 km, a result consistent with the authors earlier conclusion of nearly 60 km from the data of surface wave dispersion.

Some observations on the vertical fallout profile on Grasubreen—A mountain glacier in Norway
Authors: BAHADUR JAGDISH
Published: February 2022

Snow and ice samples (116 Nos.), collected from six snow pits and three twin boreholes along the axis of Grasubreen, the highest mountain glacier in Norway, were analysed for their salt content, fission fallout concentration and fractionation of Oxygen-18.

The sodium fallout varied from 0. 4to 1.9 ppm and could be related to the origin of precipitation from the west (maritime) or from the southeast and Northeast (Continental). Another feature is of resistivity and sodium concentration having a periodic variation with about18 years half cycle (cf. Bruckner period). The peaks of gross beta activity are well related to those observed In precipitation of 1958 and 1963. The tritium profiles for two boreholes in the accumulation zone shows distinctly that there is not much of mixing in ice of different years.

The fractionation of 180 from snow samples shows no systematic altitude effect. However, the 180 content of ice cores from one borehole shows some correlation with the average annual air temperatures for a neighbouring meteorological station.

Snow accumulation rates are determined from the fallouts and also Oxygen-18and a favourable comparison is obtained with the standard stake data.

Authors: DESHPANDE D. V.
Published: February 2022

Studies carried out in temperate latitudes indicate that a significant relation exists between the signal strength of microwave communication systems and the variations in surface radio refractivity (Ns). With the expansion of microwave communication and television in India, communication engineers are vitally concerned in finding the extent of Variation in Ns in the country. To this end, Ns values for four representative months have been calculated In respect of New Delhi, (Safdarjung) based on ten years monthly mean data for six synoptic hours. A comparison with corresponding Ns values at New Delhi {Palam} has also been made to bring out the Importance of proper site selection. The most significant feature of the analysis is the year round diurnal range of 20 N Units or less accompanied by a strong seasonal range of about 70 N units in surface radio-refractivity. An attempt has been made to relate these changes with climatological features and to assess their likely effect on signal strength.

Authors: CHANDRA M.
Published: February 2022

Through the knowledge of luminous efficiency of solar radiation it is possible to derive the values of illumination from the known values of solar radiation. This is important in view of the scarcity of luminous data and easy availability of radiation data. In this paper the author presents the computed results of luminous efficiency for the direct component of solar radiation over varied solar altitudes and atmospheric turbidity conditions.

This will enable the computation of the externally reflected daylight in buildings which is considerable in tropics. The luminous efficiency of diffuse radiation will be dealt with in a later paper.

Chronic ulcers become the factors of morbidity and mortality with an increasing prevalence. The causes of chronic ulcers are venous dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, infection, peripheral neuropathy, stress, and atherosclerosis. Decubitus ulcers are caused by irreversible mechanical pressure on the soft tissue, usually on prominent bones. In addition, the diabetic ulcer is a complication of diabetes mellitus that causes an increase in overall morbidity in patients. Diabetic ulcers can form due to a lack of glycemic control, neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, or inadequate treatment of wounds on the feet. This article aims to review Chronic Ulcers, specifically Decubitus Ulcers,and Diabeticum Ulcers. Source searches were carried out on online portals for journal publications such as Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) and NCBI (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), with the keyword Globally, the incidence of pressure ulcers reaches 33% and diabetic ulcers reach 15% of all diabetics. In dealing with chronic ulcers, in general, there is the main principle, namely TIME. The acronym TIME stands for four things to pay attention to, namely: T (Tissue) for a wound that is not feasible or deficient; I (Infection) for with infection/inflammation; M (Moisture) for wound moisture imbalance, which have to be corrected; E (Edge) for a wound where the edge does not cross into it.

Based on Circular Number 1 of 2020 concerning the Prevention of the Spread of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) in universities, during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders of State Universities (PTN) and Higher Education Service Institutions (LLDikti) were asked to adjust the implementation of the Tri Dharma College by conducting distance learning. Compared to the general population, university students are more vulnerable to mental health problems stemming from a pandemic due to the various changes taking place in the learning system. This study aims to determine whether student stress affects psychological well-being during distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was conducted on students at public and private universities with a total of 273 respondents. The value of the coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.089, which means that the stress variable has an effect of 8.9% on the psychological well-being of students, while 91.1% comes from other variables not examined. It is also known that the regression coefficient value is -1.48, which states that for every 1% addition to the stress value, the psychological well-being value decreases by -1.481. Therefore, it is expected that students can take preventive steps so as not to experience stress during distance learning, because stress can be one of the causes of disruption of psychological well-being.

Relação entre cidade moderna e industrialização:

Published: February 2022

O presente trabalho possui como objeto de reflexão a relação existente entre cidade moderna e industrialização, utilizando como estudo de caso, o bairro da Prata em Campina Grande, segunda maior cidade do Estado da Paraíba. O objetivo é observar de que maneira se deu esta relação entre a cidade que almejava a modernidade e o desenvolvimento econômico decorrente da implantação de uma política proposta pela SUDENE/ Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste no final dos anos 1950 e toda a década de 1960, que integrada a uma agenda municipal e estadual, fez com que a cidade fortalecesse a sua tendência industrial, e modificasse seu cenário urbano, com a criação de novos bairros, como o Distrito Industrial, e a consolidação de uma nova área residencial – o bairro da Prata - que adotou a modernidade arquitetônica em seu vocabulário projetual e construtivo, conforme será visto no decorrer do artigo. Justifica-se pela necessidade em dialogar o patrimônio industrial com o patrimônio moderno, observando-se que esta relação resultou na produção de um acervo de bens imóveis/ arquitetônicos e urbanísticos que transformou a cidade no recorte trabalhado, e que deixou como consequência um acervo rico, mas que correm sérios riscos na contemporaneidade, por não estar devidamente protegido. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada trabalha com duas linhas: 1) a da pesquisa histórica; 2) a da pesquisa arquitetônica e urbanística apoiada em autores como AFONSO (2019), SERRA (2006), GASTÓN e ROVIRA (2007). O aporte teórico apoia-se em autores como GAGNEBIN (1997), HARVEY (1992), ASCHER (2010), ARGAN (2005), SOUSA (2003).

O processo de urbanização no Brasil, assim como pode ser observado na maioria dos países em desenvolvimento, se deu de forma acelerada e desordenada, dando origem a diversas questões urbanas existentes até os dias de hoje, dentre as quais destaca-se o surgimento da questão habitacional. Em contrapartida, as soluções propostas pelo Estado em resposta a essa questão, em especial a produção de conjuntos habitacionais em regiões periféricas deu origem a um novo desafio, a segregação socioespacial no espaço urbano. Sendo assim, por meio desse artigo, buscou-se analisar como as políticas públicas habitacionais adotadas em Teresina contribuíram tanto para sua expansão territorial, como para a transformação da paisagem urbana da cidade. Dividiu-se então o trabalho em três etapas: a revisão histórica da intervenção estatal na produção habitacional de caráter social no Brasil, em particular em Teresina; a comparação entre a construção dessas novas moradias e os eixos de expansão urbana da cidade desde a década de 1960 até os dias de hoje; e, então, a análise da morfologia urbana do Residencial Jacinta Andrade, se tratando ele de um dos maiores empreendimentos imobiliários desenvolvidos pelo Programa de Aceleração de Crescimento (PAC). Por fim, constatou-se que a construção de conjuntos habitacionais foi, e continua sendo, um importante indutor da expansão urbana na cidade de Teresina. Porém, percebe-se que esse processo contribui para um crescimento desordenado, criando áreas carentes de infraestrutura, distantes das zonas centrais e que oferecem baixa qualidade de vida a seus moradores. Ao tomar o Residencial Jacinta Andrade como um estudo de caso, dentre os conjuntos habitacionais existentes em Teresina, foi possível observar a morfologia urbana que vem sendo reproduzida no território da cidade, assim como as diversas falhas existentes no padrão de produção de moradias de interesse vigente.
