Attentive Max Feature Map for Acoustic Scene Classification with Joint Learning considering the Abstraction of Classes
Authors: Shim Hye-jin , Kim Ju-ho , Jung Jee-weon , Yu Ha-Jin
Published: October 2021

The attention mechanism has been widely adopted in acoustic scene classification. However, we find that during the process of attention exclusively emphasizing information, it tends to excessively discard information although improving the performance. We propose a mechanism referred to as the attentive max feature map which combines two effective techniques, attention and max feature map, to further elaborate the attention mechanism and mitigate the abovementioned phenomenon. Furthermore, we explore various joint learning methods that utilize additional labels originally generated for subtask B (3-classes) on top of existing labels for subtask A (10-classes) of the DCASE2020 challenge. We expect that using two kinds of labels simultaneously would be helpful because the labels of the two subtasks differ in their degree of abstraction. Applying two proposed techniques, our proposed system achieves state-of-the-art performance among single systems on subtask A. In addition, because the model has a complexity comparable to subtask B's requirement, it shows the possibility of developing a system that fulfills the requirements of both subtasks; generalization on multiple devices and low-complexity.
Forward-Backward Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks and Tag-Conditioned Convolutional Neural Networks for Weakly Labeled Semi-supervised Sound Event Detection
Authors: Ebbers Janek , Haeb-Umbach Reinhold
Published: October 2021

In this paper we present our system for thedetection and classi-fication of acoustic scenes and events (DCASE) 2020 ChallengeTask 4: Sound event detection and separation in domestic envi-ronments. We introduce two new models: the forward-backwardconvolutional recurrent neural network (FBCRNN) and the tag-conditioned convolutional neural network (CNN). The FBCRNNemploys two recurrent neural network (RNN) classifiers sharing thesame CNN for preprocessing. With one RNN processing a record-ing in forward direction and the other in backward direction, thetwo networks are trained to jointly predict audio tags, i.e., weak la-bels, at each time step within a recording, given that at each timestep they have jointly processed the whole recording. The pro-posed training encourages the classifiers to tag events as soon aspossible. Therefore, after training, the networks can be appliedto shorter audio segments of, e.g.,200 ms, allowing sound eventdetection (SED). Further, we propose a tag-conditioned CNN tocomplement SED. It is trained to predict strong labels while using(predicted) tags, i.e., weak labels, as additional input. For train-ing pseudo strong labels from a FBCRNN ensemble are used. Thepresented system scored the fourth and third place in the systemsand teams rankings, respectively. Subsequent improvements allowour system to even outperform the challenge baseline and winnersystems in average by, respectively,18.0 %and2.2 %event-basedF1-score on the validation set.

The goal of this work was to develop lateral flow immunoassays (LFAs) to biomarkers related to nicotine-containing products such as combusted tobacco, oral tobacco, and e-cigarettes. LFAs were screened to determine how well they discriminate users of nicotine-containing products from non-users. Additional analyses assessed if any developed LFAs show signs of distinction between the various use-groups (combusted tobacco, oral tobacco, and e-cigarettes). The following describes the development of cotinine, anabasine, and nicotelline LFAs as well as the test and analyses from 212 individual urine specimens.

Evaluating Driver Response to a Dynamic Speed Feedback Sign at a Freeway Exit Ramp Considering the Sign Design Characteristics and Lateral Installation Position
Authors: Mahmud Shakir , Gates Timothy J. , Savolainen Peter T. , Safaei Babak
Published: October 2021

Research was conducted at a freeway exit ramp with significant horizontal curvature to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic speed feedback signs (DSFS) as a speed reduction countermeasure. Several aspects of the DSFS were evaluated, including display size, border type, lateral installation position, and vehicle detection range. Three different full-matrix DSFS were utilized, which included: 15-inch display panel with yellow border, 18-inch display panel with yellow border, and 18-inch display panel with no border. Each sign was individually installed and tested at identical locations near the start of the exit ramp curve, in both the traditional right-side-mount and an alternative forward-mount within the exit gore area. Speed data and message activation location were collected for vehicles approaching and entering into the curve across the various sign test conditions. Overall, the presence of a DSFS positioned near the start of the curve resulted in curve entry speeds that were, on average, 3.5 mph lower than without a DSFS present at the site. The lowest curve entry speeds were observed for cases where the message activated when vehicles were within 250 to 400 ft of the curve. Interestingly, earlier message activation did not contribute to further speed reductions, although later activation substantially diminished the speed reduction effects. Regarding DSFS lateral position, both the side-mounted and forward-mounted DSFS installations resulted in similar curve entry speeds. Furthermore, there were no discernable differences in curve entry speeds between the 15-inch and 18-inch display panels, although the inclusion of a yellow sign border improved performance.
Multiple timescales of temporal context in risky choice: Behavioral identification and relationships to physiological arousal
Authors: Brooks Hayley R. , Sokol-Hessner Peter
Published: October 2021

Context-dependence is fundamental to risky monetary decision-making. A growing body of evidence suggests that temporal context, or recent events, alters risk-taking at a minimum of three timescales: immediate (e.g. trial-by-trial), neighborhood (e.g. a group of consecutive trials), and global (e.g. task-level). To examine context effects, we created a novel monetary choice set with intentional temporal structure in which option values shifted between multiple levels of value magnitude (“contexts”) several times over the course of the task. This structure allowed us to examine whether effects of each timescale were simultaneously present in risky choice behavior and the potential mechanistic role of arousal, an established correlate of risk-taking, in context-dependency. We found that risk-taking was sensitive to immediate, neighborhood, and global timescales: risk-taking decreased following large (vs. small) outcome amounts, increased following large positive (but not negative) shifts in context, and increased when cumulative earnings exceeded expectations. We quantified arousal with skin conductance responses, which were related to the global timescale, increasing with cumulative earnings, suggesting that physiological arousal captures a task-level assessment of performance. Our results both replicate and extend prior research by demonstrating that risky decision-making is consistently dynamic at multiple timescales and that the role of arousal in risk-taking extends to some, but not all timescales of context-dependence.
In harm’s way, but not stressed about it: On the antecedents and consequences of belief in COVID-19 conspiracy theories

Published: October 2021

Conspiracy theories proliferate during times of turmoil. Not surprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment in which virus-related conspiracy theories have thrived. The current study leverages prior research to shed light on the antecedents and consequences of conspiracy theory beliefs in the important, real-world context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we found that suffering greater negative economic consequences due to the pandemic predicted greater belief in COVID-19 conspiracy theories, and this relation was strongest among those generally inclined to believe conspiracy theories. We then examined the consequences of coming to hold such beliefs. Greater endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories predicted less social distancing behavior, greater minimization of the threat of COVID-19, and lower levels of general stress. These findings replicate and extend prior research showing a link between conspiracy theory beliefs and rejection of scientific advice, but also offer evidence pointing to a psychological benefit of believing conspiracy theories.

Published: October 2021

Human faces are a ubiquitous stimulus category in experimental psychology and neuroscience, routinely applied in many research domains including perception, emotion, social cognition, and memory. Here, we present a set of portrait photographs of 100 identities with each identity making 9 emotional expressions (anger, calm, contempt, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise, and neutral), amounting to 900 total photographs. Unlike many existing face databases, these photographs are highly controlled for perceptual features, in that (1) they were taken in a laboratory setting with identical professional lighting, (2) all participants are wearing the exact same neutral clothing (a black t-shirt), (3) all faces have been manually adjusted such that the eyes are approximately at the center of a square without cropping any part of the face from the photograph, and (4) the background has been colored to be exactly the same gray hue in all photographs with no shadows. Given their highly controlled nature, these faces are optimal for experiments aiming to homogenize non-face properties, such as lighting or clothing. We are making the face set open for the benefit of the broader research community, and request that in turn, data collected in response to the faces be made open and linked to the original face database (please cite this technical report). This report presents a high-level summary of the faces using behavioral data (free-response descriptions and emotion categorizations), but these data do not necessarily capture the scope of potential research designs that the stimuli could support. If authors collect relevant pilot data on these stimuli for specific research questions, our hope is that such data can becollaboratively linked to the face set for the community to utilize.

Background: Solanum nigrum Linn. (Solanaceae), commonly known as black night shade (Kakamchi), is an herb, traditionally used in the treatment of skin and cardiac disorders. Till date there is no scientific evaluation has been reported on its leaves. Aims and objectives: Present study assumes singular significance and it is supposed to contribute a great deal to the existing literature. The present investigation was, therefore, undertaken to determine the requisite pharmacognostical standards for standardization of leaves of Solanum nigrum Linn. Methods: Macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of fresh leaves and dried powder of leaves was carried out along with their micrometric study. Physicochemical and the preliminary phytochemical investigations of dried powder of Solanum nigrum Linn. leaves were also carried out along with fluorescence analysis. HPTLC finger profile of alcohol extract of leaves was also performed. Results: The pharmacognostical studies of leaves revealed the presence of single layered p alisade parenchyma, anisocytic stomata and multicellular warty trichome, glandular trichomes which are the striking characters of identification of this plant material. The preliminary phytochemical screening of three extracts of the leaf powder sho wed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, tannins and saponins along with other phytoconstituents. In HPTLC studies, the alcoholic extract showed presence of eleven and nine phytoconstituents at 254 nm and 366 nm wavelengths respectively. Conclusion: The information generated in this study will be helpful for the proper identification and authentification of leaves of this herb.
Landrace Diversity and Production Systems of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) in Southern Chad
Authors: Djirabaye Nadjiam
Published: October 2021

In Chad, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.), is increasingly becoming a cash crop. The objective of this work is to assess the varietal diversity, analyze the traditional management of landraces and the production systems of cowpea in southern part of Chad. An inventory and an ethnobotanical survey was conducted through a participatory approach in 17 villages corresponding to two agro ecological zones. Thirty-four vernacular names and 45 landraces are inventoried. On average, 2 names are assigned per village. The number of landraces varies from 4 to 13 with an average of 9.00 per region and 2.70 per village. The highest diversity is observed in Mayo Kebbi. Sixteen morphotypes have been identified and their distribution varies according to the agro ecological zones. Productivity (31.10 %), taste (25.92 %) and grain size (18.34 %) are the farmer main preferred criteria. Farmers use leaves (47 %), pods (29.50 %) and seeds (14.75 %) to identify landraces. Cowpea cultivation is practiced on small areas and in intercropping system (78.60 %). Conservation of seeds (36.07 %), low fertility of the soils (27.85 %) and drought (17.77 %) were the main production constraints. Cowpea is stored mainly in traditional granaries (34.96 %) and on racks (22.93 %). For seeds treatment, farmers use mainly traditional means (32.37 %) and chemical products (6.67 %). Several cowpea-based dishes are identified. Cowpea has also therapeutic virtues. To improve cowpea production, appropriate actions must be considered against the constraints inventoried. The interesting landraces should also be used in a breeding program.

Indigenous peoples in Australia have been heavily documented in colonial archives and collections. The past two decades have seen significant materials from Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) institutions being returned to Indigenous communities in Australia through physical or digital repatriation of materials. The digital return of materials requires both appropriate systems for returning both the digital collections, metadata and contextual information that relates to them, and agreements, policies, and procedures for meaningfully engaging with Indigenous communities throughout the process. Importantly, the information returned needs to be accessible, readable, and usable in local community contexts based on understanding local community needs. This paper discusses priorities around engaging with Indigenous peoples to reshape and build archival information systems and access points that support community requirements for digital return and management of cultural heritage materials in local settings. The paper discusses future priorities for designing archival information systems to support Indigenous sovereignty, including data stewardship and preservation approaches. These concerns are discussed and raised as part of the research and development of the global Mukurtu Content Management System (CMS) project, including within the New South Wales (NSW) Australian Mukurtu Hub.

Published: October 2021

The management of the national parks Tara, Fruška Gora, Djerdap and Kopaonik and the activities of the managers in Serbia are affairs of the public interest. The manner of their strategic management is defined by the legal framework in the field of nature protection and it implies the adoption and the implementation of documents, such as the nature protection strategy, management plans and spatial plans for the special purpose areas. The paper particularly emphasizes the importance of adopting management plans for national parks, as basic documents for their management, as well as their harmonization with the spatial plans for the special purpose areas, as specific instruments for the management of these areas. It points out the importance of establishing governing bodies, such as a professional alliance and a council of users of national parks, which would improve their management and incorporate the interests of local people and users of space. In accordance with the above, this paper aims to point out the importance of strategic management and strategic documents in the field of protection and management of national parks in Serbia and give suggestions for their improvement.

Green roofs respond to a need of today’s society to orient its development towards sustainability. Architecture and urban planning, as builders of the modern city, play a crucial role in the search for a balance between social, environmental and economic growth. Green roofs imply recognized benefits in all three fields, but a study of the economic viability of these solutions is necessary, especially in the field of rehabilitation with tighter budgets. Through a cost-benefit analysis throughout its useful life, it is intended to avoid that the initial construction cost of a green roof, or any sustainable construction, could discourage users, helping them to understand its global dimension from an economic point of view.

The paper presents research on electric cars with an emphasis on Tesla cars. The paper aimed to get to know the development of Tesla and the innovation of their vehicles. As part of the development of their cars, range, consumption and charging play an important role, the research was focused on comparing models and finding the best car. The research found that all Tesla models, that are currently on the market, are comparable, with good range, charging time and consumption. Nowadays, however, an important issue in our lives is the pandemic, so part of the article also describes the consequences of Covid-19 on the company, in which we found that the company managed to operate profitably despite this situation. In addition to cars’ good features, it’s also important to have charging options, which we explored in this paper using a hypothetical route to various European cities and found that charging stations are the most widespread in Western Europe and that it is almost impossible to drive east.

The assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing risks is conducted at the supranational and national level, including risk factors and risk variables. Based on the mentioned, the accounting profession is required to provide risk assessments at the level of obliged entities, which results in suspicious transactions reports. The number of suspicious transactions reported in the Republic of Croatia, as well in the world, is notably small, which speaks in favor of insufficient awareness of the threats posed by such conduct. The susceptibility of the accounting profession to illegal actions through the possibility of adjusting financial statements within the framework of creative accounting is evident, while due to non-compliance with legal regulations, unprofessionalism, and unethical needs, there is a need for forensic accounting. The peculiarities of the accounting profession support its ambiguous role in the detection of money laundering and other illegal activities, however, such measures are always implemented a posteriori.

Departing from the fact that the welfare state concept, principles of social justice and equality, and entrepreneurial and market freedoms make an integral part of the Croatian constitutional identity, the paper emphasizes the importance of the development for the institution of a social market economy (as the only acceptable form of market relations in Croatia). The central thesis of the paper is that the content of the constitutional principles of taxation, although not yet explicitly confirmed as part of the constitutional identity, stands implicit in the eternal principles of the Croatian Constitution via requirements that arise from the concept of welfare state and the principles of social justice and equality. Additionally, the authors point out a need to reaffirm the Croatian citizens’ commitment to the social values of the Constitution by choosing social (redistributive) policies through the democratic electoral process.

Türkiye Türkçesinin temel dil alanlarından birisi olan ağızlar (dialects) ülkemizde üzerine çok fazla çalışmanın yapıldığı bir alandır. Türkiye Türkçesi ağızlarıyla ilgili ilk çalışmalar Kunos, Nemeth, Maksimov gibi yabancı araştırmacılar tarafından yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmaların tarihi 19. yüzyılın ortalarına kadar uzanmaktadır. Cumhuriyetin ilanından sonra yerli bilim insanları da ağızlar üzerine çalışma yapmaya başlamış ve günümüze kadar pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Dilde sadeleşme hareketlerinin de etkili olduğu bu çalışmalar daha sonrasında yapılan derleme faaliyetleriyle belli başlı bir çalışma sahası olmuştur. Bu özelliği ile ağızlarda yer alan kelime ve ifadeler Türk dili ve kültürü için adeta bir hazine konumundadır. Çünkü kullandığımız dilin hangi dillerden etkilendiğini, nereden ve ne şekilde geldiğini, kelimelerin zaman içerisinde hangi ses ve anlam serüvenlerinden geçtiğini, daha da önemlisi geçmişte kullanılan fakat günümüzde kullanımdan düşmüş olan arkaik kelimeleri ağızlardan görmekteyiz.Bu çalışmada Kahramanmaraş'ın Elbistan ilçesinin Alembey ve Ekinözü ilçesinin Alişar köylerinden derlenen mahallî (yerel) ifadeler toplanmıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı yaptığımız derlemeler ve çalışmalar sonucu, Türk Dil Kurumu'nun yayımlamış olduğu Derleme Sözlüğü'nde yer almayan kelimeleri tespit etmek ve adı geçen sözlüğe katkı sağlamaktadır. Çalışmamızda tespit edilen kelimeler "Derleme Sözlüğü'nde Yer Almayan İfadeler" ve "Derleme Sözlüğü'nde Yer Almasına Rağmen Elbistan'da ve Ekinözü'nde Konuşulduğu Belirtilmeyen İfadeler" başlığı adı altında toplanmıştır. Ayrıca kelimeler kendi içerisinde işlev ve fonksiyonlarına göre sınıflandırılmış ve anlamlarının daha iyi anlaşılması için örnek cümlelerde kullanılmıştır.Çalışma sonucunda söz konusu bölgede yapılan araştırma ve derleme faaliyetleri neticesinde Derleme Sözlüğü'nde yer almayan yirmi üç, Derleme Sözlüğü'nde yer almasına rağmen derleme yapılan bölgede konuşulduğu belirtilmeyen on beş olmak üzere toplamda otuz sekiz kelime tespit edilmiştir.

Konusu insan ve insan gönlü olan tasavvuf, sözden ziyade öz ve davranış mükemmelliği ile alakalı bir ilim olduğundan tasavvufta, Allah dostu birçok ermiş ve evliyanın yaşamına yönelik kıssalar oluşmuştur. Çoğu zaman halk arasında menkıbe olarak da adlandırılan söz konusu kıssalar, işlevsel bağlamda muhataplarının bir yandan imanlarını olgunlaştırıp ahlaki kaidelerini aktarırken diğer yandan da ilahi aşk ve muhabbet yolunda onlara çeşitli ulvi hisler kazandırır. Böylece İslam dininin temel yapı taşları yani ana kavramları, nasihat ve öğüt-name niteliğindeki kıssalar aracılığıyla çok geniş kitlelere rahatlıkla ulaşır. Kur’an-ı Kerim’de sıkça görülen kıssalar, ibret verici ve mesaj içerikli anlatımlardır. Kıssalarda anlatılan mevzuların özellikle hayatın içinden olması onu dinleyenlerin gönüllerinde etkileyici ve yoğun bir iz bırakmasına vesile olmuştur. Kıssalarda, ders verme amacı, imgesel ve mecazi bir anlatımla doğruya giden yolun hikâyeleştirilerek gösterilmesi söz konusudur. Burada dikkat edilmesi gereken nokta; kıssaların gerçeği yansıtmaları, hayalî unsurlara yer vermemesidir. Dolayısıyla söz konusu nitelikleri bakımından tasavvufta da var olan kıssalar, müritlerin ilahi aşk yolculuklarında olgunlaşarak ve ahlaki anlamda yoğrularak ilerlemelerine vesile olmaktadır.Kıssaların belirtilen işlev ve özellikleriyle beraber hakkında birçok araştırma ve yayın yapılmıştır. Evrensel değerlerin ilahi öncülerinden birisi olan Anadolu ereni, Türk mutasavvıf ve şairi Yunus Emre ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların sözlü ve yazılı olanlarının yanında görsel projelerde de yer bulması ona verilen değeri gözler önüne sermektedir. Bu bağlamda TRT 1 kanalı, 2015-2016 yılları arasında Ramazan ayı münasebetiyle 44 bölüm olarak “Yunus Emre Aşkın Yolculuğu” adlı diziyi yayımlamıştır. Bu çalışmada diziden hareketle yine dizide yer alan “kıssa”lar tespit ve deşifre edilecektir. Söz konusu 43 kıssadan bazıları işlevsel anlamda tahlil edilip bir sonuca ulaşılacaktır.

Authors: Muştu Çiğdem
Published: October 2021

Saffron is an important spice obtained from the dried red stigmas of "Crocus sativus L." belonging to the Iridaceae family. It is used in traditional medicine from ancient times to modern times thanks to its medicinal properties, in various fields such as cosmetics, paint industry, food sector thanks to the bioactive components it contains. The production of saffron, which is one of the most valuable spices in the world and has a wide area of use, is limited to geographical regions such as Iran, India, Afghanistan, Spain, Italy, Greece and Morocco. In addition, although it is among the highest quality saffron producers, its cultivation and production in our country has decreased considerably and it is only made in some villages of Karabük province, Safranbolu county. The limited production of saffron reduces the recognition of this plant, which has a wide range of uses and has high economic value. This valuable plant, which is thought to provide economic gain to our country, should be brought back to the economy. In this review, the saffron plant is discussed in every aspect in order to emphasize its value once more and to make its cultivation sustainable and information about its botanical characteristics, history, regions where it is grown, chemical composition and use in foods was given.

On the emergence of new branches in the legal system of Ukraine
Authors:   Lutsk National Technical University, Alla Zemko , Yulia Pyndor ,   Lutsk National Technical University
Published: October 2021

The article analyzes the current approach to the identification of new branches in the legal system of Ukraine.The modern world does not stand still and is constantly evolving and gives impetus to the development of all spheres of human life, respectively, there are relationships that require legal regulation.Some scholars believe that in the presence of an independent subject of legal regulation, its ownmethodology of legal regulation and a set of specialized legislation, it is possible todistinguish an autonomousbranch of law. It is determined that the emergence of new branches of law is hindered by the dominant concept of the existence of only the main ones. Proponents of this concept categorically reject the possibility of the existence of relevant secondary, complex branches of law. This scientific approach inhibits the study of modern social relations. Negative attitudes towards the separation of new branches of law inevitably lead to gaps in the field of special legal research and, as a consequence, to a lack of qualified personnel with specialized knowledge. It is suggested to take into account the positive experience of foreign colleagues of lawyers who boldly present the achievements of current practices and are not afraid to consider them branches of law, we mean educational, sports, military, gender, «cryptocurrency», admiralty law and others. It is concluded that the division of law into new branches allows more effective regulation of legal relations in relevant areas, given that global trends are increasingly in demand for universal lawyers, but with specialization, with in-depth knowledge in one or more areas of law.

This writing will focus on the impact on the impact of oil and gas development on the landscape, surface water and groundwater of the Niger Delta – while also assessing the various means of remediation in use. Geologically, the Niger Delta petroleum systems consist of Lower Cretaceous , Upper Cretaceous–lower Paleocene and Tertiary. When Nigeria became an independent nation on 1 October 1960, Shell–BP began to relinquish its acreage and its exploration licenses were converted into prospecting licenses that allowed development and production. The Federal Government of Nigeria started its Department of Petroleum Resources Inspectorate in 1970 and Nigeria joined the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1971. – and in order to take control of the country’s petroleum industry, Nigeria nationalized BP’s holding completely in 1979, and Shell–BP became Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria. Oil spillages routinely occur in the Niger Delta. The official figures of SPDC show that between 1976 and 2001, 6,187 incidents in which 3 million barrels were spilled. The Niger Delta Environmental Survey An impact assessment of the 1983 Oshika oil spill. Spills of crude oil in Niger Delta farmlands have been reported since 1971. In general, toxicity depends on nature and type of crude oil , level of oil contamination, type of environment and degree of selective of individual organisms. Controlled burning effectively reduce the amount of oil in water, if done properly but it must be done in low wind and can cause air pollution. A principal target for emissions reduction is flaring and venting which causes most of the air pollution. Saltwater tanks can be often susceptible to lightning strikes due to build up in static electricity, with the spilled oil spreading to surrounding lands, waterways. This requires a secondary containment of the tanks that makes it easier to clean up the inevitable spill. In cases of expected major storms or flooding events, crude oil can be removed from tank batteries while refilling the tanks with saltwater to prevent them tipping over during the flooding event.

Economic, sociological, natural, anthropogenic constructed systems and associated ambients have been enmeshed in the untoward impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Environment, health and quality of life should remain of immediate concern in governmental policy and governance. In this COVID-19 era, the diminished introduction of pollutants and the decreased exacerbation of contaminants in the ecosystem due to drastic reduction in economic and industrial production have perspicuously posed less threat and aberration to biodiversity, ecological and environmental systems. The conceptual ecological analysis of the COVID-19 trajectories exposes the dire consequences of the unpreparedness of nature and humans in this pandemic era. It is important to elucidate the functionalities of anthropogenic activities in environmental degradation and the inextricable-linkage between pandemics, ecosystem deterioration and health as pertinent to animal, human, plant, land usage, water and biodiversity. The conspiracy theories, ecological fallacy and mass hysteria of COVID-19 emergence stem from perspicuous extensive shirking of responsibilty regarding domestic and global environmental health by the public and private sectors of production, consumption, administration and governance.
