Reflections on Gottmann's thought: Introduction by the Guest-Editor
Authors: Muscarà Calogero
Published: December 2021

The text on these pages is a brief introductory note by the guest-editor on the contents of Part 1 of the present issue. Of the three parts of this special number of Ekistics, the first, entitled "Reflections on Gottmann's thought," contains 13 articles in three groups. In the first group are those that focus on the thought of Jean Gottmann, such as the papers of Robert Harper, John Agnew, Luca Muscarà, Nicolas Prevelakis, Jean-Paul Hubert as well as Pavios Tzermias whose essay concentrates more on the relationships between history and geography. The papers in the next group - contributed by Christian Lagarde, Jean Laponce, Ron Johnston, Yasuo Miyakawa and the present guest editor - refer indirectly to the thinking of Gottmann. Lastly are essays by Paul Claval who highlights some relationships with Gottmann's thought, and Thomas Pierre Fournel who provides an in-depth analysis of new geographical realities.

The anthropocosmos model
Authors: Of Ekistics Athens Center
Published: December 2021

The authors of the papers in all three double issues of volume 70 of Ekistics, coming from the broad fields of Geography, History and a wide range of social sciences in general, refer to Society. They focus on Anthropos - Jean Gottmann - and his life-long contribution, through concrete theoretical concepts, to the understanding of the nature and dynamics of urbanization, as well as the structure, function and evolution of Human Settlements Systems. They interpret these principles and emphasize their validity in large-scale Human Settlements - from Metropolis through Megalopolis to Eperopolis - mainly in high- and middle-income countries (less in low-income ones). They demonstrate the relevance of Gottmann's concepts in explaining current global complex phenomena of a social, political and cultural nature. They also identify a set of urgent desirable priority themes for further research, ranging from the clarification of epistemological issues among disciplines to defining ways for expanding the relevance of these principles to the full spectrum of Human Settlements, and bringing them to an explicitly operational level for use by decision makers.

The anthropocosmos model
Authors: Of Ekistics Athens Center
Published: December 2021

The focus of papers in vol. 71 is on the relation of nature and its basic components - from vegetation and all other resources to climate - with the other elements of human settlements, i.e. Anthropos, Society, Shells and Networks. Emphasis is on the desirability for a conscious effort towards maintaining a constant balance between all five elements of human settlements, taking into consideration the dynamic changes identified at present and/or anticipated for the future. The feasibility of such an effort is supported by encouraging cases of success in high-income communities, particularly at scales from the house group to the metropolis - and much less on larger scale human settlements.

Behind Successful Refugee Parental Engagement: The Barriers and Challenges
Authors: Zaidi Rahat , Oliver Christine , Strong Tom , Alwarraq Hanan
Published: December 2021

This two-year study examined the barriers and challenges encountered by refugee parents as they negotiate their children’s successful transition into a new school system. The researchers sought to determine what can be learned from parent and educator experiences of these obstacles in order to optimize parent–teacher collaboration for refugee families. Contextualized within a LEAD (Literacy, English and Academic Development) program in an urban centre in Western Canada, the study triangulated data from focus groups comprising Syrian and Iraqi Arabic-speaking families, teachers, and settlement workers. The data were qualitatively analyzed by incorporating Epstein’s six types of parental involvement, a culturally responsive model accounting for parental engagement within the context of home-school-community collaboration (Epstein & Sheldon, 2006). From this model, the researchers make recommendations that include province-wide initiatives to support leadership and teacher training, mandated programming to support refugee and immigrant youth, and the establishment and expansion of board and in-school settlement best practices province-wide.

Los efectos del nivel socioeconómico en el logro académico de los estudiantes mexicanos, sus oportunidades educativas y su trayectoria escolar.
Authors: Rodríguez Cristerna Jesús Salvador , Ruiz Cuéllar Guadalupe , Pedroza Zúñiga Luis Horacio
Published: December 2021

En las últimas décadas, se han extendido las evaluaciones de logro académico a gran escala, y con ellas la cantidad de estudios educativos que examinan la información recabada. Mediante un análisis documental, este artículo retoma una serie de estudios de corte cuantitativo, para construir un panorama de los efectos del nivel socioeconómico en los estudiantes mexicanos. Se encontraron evidencias sobre la correlación significativa y positiva, entre el nivel socioeconómico y el logro académico del estudiante, con un incremento exponencial de logro entre los estratos más altos. El nivel socioeconómico de los alumnos se combinó al interior de las aulas generando efectos de composición, cuya influencia en el logro académico fue superior a los efectos de la institución educativa. Adicionalmente, México se posicionó como uno de los países con mayor segregación escolar, especialmente hacia alumnos de contextos desfavorecidos, quienes tuvieron una mayor probabilidad de agruparse en escuelas de alta marginalidad; estos estudiantes mostraron trayectorias académicas más afectadas, puesto que la mitad de ellos abandonaron el sistema escolar hacia los quince años de edad. Se concluye resaltando la necesidad de utilizar la información de las evaluaciones a gran escala, en pro de políticas públicas que contribuyan a una mayor equidad educativa.
El cuerpo y la enseñanza de la arquitectura
Authors: Zúñiga Alegría Blanca
Published: December 2021

La relación entre el cuerpo sensible y el intelecto a ratos se ven conflictuados en la contemporaneidad, al punto que suele primar solo la relación intelectual/racional  de las cosas, por sobre valores y saberes relacionados a los sentidos y la intuición. Este quiebre esta dado por múltiples razones que se identifican en este texto desde pre revolución industrial a nuestros días.  Esta mirada se revisa desde la filosofía , desde la sociología así como desde la teoría en arquitectura. También es necesario mencionar que el sistema escolar, tanto como los espacios en donde habitan va incidiendo también en la estandarización y adiestramiento de los cuerpos. Este fenómeno se hace patente en el momento en que ingresan a la Universidad, lo que se pretende atacar en la escuela de arquitectura a través de una serie de ejercicios académicos que devolverían valores como el tiempo, la relación del cuerpo intelectual con el cuerpo sensible en función de establecer cuerpos íntegros para el buen desarrollo del oficio de arquitecto.
Redes sociales: ¿amenaza para los opresores o herramienta para oprimir?
Authors: Núñez Barrón Perla Marina
Published: December 2021

Las redes sociales son una herramienta de comunicación que cada vez se vuelve más importante en la vida cotidiana de las personas, estas tienen diversos usos, entre ellos interactuar, comunicar y opinar sobre cualquier asunto, ese flujo de información puede ser utilizado para muchos fines.
Uno de ellos seria liberar masas al favorecer el análisis, la reflexión y el pensamiento crítico para generar conocimiento, razón y participación de los usuarios en la vida democrática del país en busca de una mejor calidad de vida. O su contraparte el uso de las redes sociales para oprimir que a pesar de la facilidad con que obtenemos la información está a veces llega manipulada, censurada o tergiversada debido a la vigilancia masiva que ejercen los opresores en internet. Ambos casos los ejemplificaremos a lo largo del presente artículo.
Políticas de la representación urbana en Chile: irrupciones y disrrupciones colectivas para imaginar otras ciudades desde la desmonumentalización
Authors: Jofré Poblete Natalia , Chaparro-Medina Paola Margarita
Published: December 2021

Durante la revuelta social en Chile (desde octubre del 2019), las ciudades a lo largo del país se convirtieron en territorios en disputa. En ellas no solamente confluyeron manifestantes con consignas, discursos y pancartas, sino que se desplegaron diversas acciones colectivas que tensionaron el espacio público; emergiendo así una densidad emocional que planteaba la resignificación del espacio urbano, a través de la interrupción del orden de la representación dispuesto en la lógica de los símbolos materializada en los monumentos. 
La ciudad constantemente entabla un diálogo entre distintas temporalidades, pasado-presente-futuro, exponiendo, por una parte, las pautas de la representación; y por otro lado, la posibilidad para abrir estos espacios como una materialidad que permite la confluencia de otras formas de reconocernos e imaginarnos a partir de la conformación de nuevas significaciones. En ese sentido, resulta neural resaltar las prácticas de resignificación de los espacios urbanos, las cuales se dieron mediante rayados, intervenciones y derrocamiento de los monumentos presentes en el espacio público. 
Todo este proceso expresa emociones e imaginarios que confluyen en una diversidad de significados que buscan, entre otras cosas, visibilizar que el espacio urbano representa una lógica de poder colonial, patriarcal y clasista, que permiten el mantenimiento de un modelo neoliberal. En esta narrativa, las ciudades se presentan como espacios posibles, donde se pone en entredicho el orden de la representación y donde las subjetividades intentan transformarlas con una mano en la memoria y la otra en el futuro

Drainage Basin Morphometry Analysis in Parts of South Shillong Plateau, Meghalaya: Implications for Landscape Development
Authors: Chettri Nisha , Nayak Karan
Published: December 2021

The Shillong Plateau is characterised by multiple phases of deformation and number of prominent sets joints/fracture system. The Southern Shillong Plateau unlike the northern part is highly dissected by the scarp faces which are mostly erosional. The area is characterised by deep incising river networks which cuts across many lithological units. To understand the factors influencing the drainage characteristic of the area and landscape development, the present study has been done in context of morphometry, geomorphology and geology of the drainage basin. Fifteen sub basins of 4th order have been selected from the Um Sohrynkew River basin. Drainage morphometry, indices of active tectonism, geology and tectonics and landform features have been worked out for better evaluation of drainage characteristics. The study area forms part of the Meghalaya Precambrian province of upper Proterozoic age. The southern border of the Shillong Plateau is demarcated by Dauki (Also known as Dawki) fault which is a prominent structural lineament. It consists of at least four E-W trending normal faults with occasional reversal. The segment of the Dauki fault in the study area is believed to be active. The present study focuses on the drainage network and the landscape development of the study area where a very strong relationship has been observed between the lithology and structure together with the tectonic activity influencing the drainage pattern in the area.

Ada tiga prinsip dasar dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab, yaitu prinsip prioritas dalam proses penyajian materi ajar, prinsip koreksitas dan umpan balik, prinsip bertahap dalam penyampaian materi kepada peserta didik.Ada beberapa langkah aplikasi yang diperlukan dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab, agar teknik penyampaian materi berhasil dan dapat terlaksana, yaitu: Memberikan contoh sebelum memberikan kaidah gramatika, memberikan contoh kalimat yang biasa dipakai sehari-hari, dan memberikan motivasi yang cukup untuk berekspresi melalui tulisan, lisan bahkan mungkin ekspresi wajah, agar meraka merasa terlibat langsung dengan proses pengajaran yang berlangsung.Ada dua macam metode pengajaran bahasa Arab, yaitu: pertama, metode tradisional, yaitu metode pengajaran bahasa yang terfokus pada “bahasa sebagai budaya ilmu” sehingga belajar bahasa Arab berarti belajar secara mendalam tentang seluk-beluk ilmu bahasa Arab itu sendiri. Dan kedua, metode modern, yaitu metode pengajaran yang berorientasi pada tujuan bahasa sebagai alat komunikasi dalam kehidupan modern.

ABSTRACT. Based on 35 years' (1959-1993) data, the zonal and meridional wind components of selected Indian RS/RW statiomupto 100 hPa level were analysed for the pre-monsoon months of April and May in order to associate them with sub-regional monsoon rainfall of northeast India. Composite values of monsoon rainfall and meridional components for May for excess and deficient yean have revealed that anomaly of meridional components for the middle and upper troposphere is northerly/southerly preceding excees/deficient monsoon year. The meridional winds at most of the levels of Delhi and some of the levels of Jodhpur Nagpur, Bombay and Madras for the month of May showed significant correlations (significant at 0.1% to 5% level of significance) with sub-divisional monsoon rainfall in northeast India. The temporal behaviour of correlation coefficients for Punjab and Haryana for 16 and 20-year sliding windows has exhibited rasonable temporal stability except for first few years. Multiple rearession equations for 30 and 35 year period for Haryana, Punjab and contiguous northweat India were also developed. The regression model for Punjab sub-division has shown quite good  results for the independent period.

The result of the Principal Component Analysis of southwest and northeast monsoon rainfall on the southern India plateau have been discussed. Monsoon rainfall data of five meteorological sub-divisions, i.e., Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalseema, Tamilnadu, Interior parts of South Karnataka & Kerala, for a period of 33 years (1960-92), have been utilized. The results indicate that the rainfall of Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalseema has maximum impact on first principal component of southwest monsoon rainfall of five meteorological sub-divisions. The study of only first principal component is sufficient in order to understand the 49% of total variability of southwest monsoon rainfall. Analysis of first three principal components is important to understand 85% of total variability of the rainfall of this season.

 

On the first principal component of northeast monsoon rainfall of aforesaid five meteorological sub-divisions the impact of the rainfall of Kerala and south interior Karnataka has been found maximum. In order to understand the 56% of total variability the analysis of first principal component is sufficient.

 

The special negative relation is found between northeast monsoon rainfall on the Coastal Andhra Pradesh and southwest monsoon rainfall of previous year on this very sub-division and Rayalseema. The principal components of southwest monsoon rainfall may prove useful for forecasting the northeast monsoon rainfall of southern Indian plateau.
Tropical cyclone simulation with Emanuel’s convection scheme
Authors: RAO D.V. BHASKAR
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. A new convection parameterization scheme proposed by Emanuel (1991) is used to simulate the evolution of tropical cyclone. The numerical model used for this study is a 19 level axi-symmetric primitive equation, hydrostatic model in a z co-ordinate system. The vertical domain ranges from 0 to 18 km and the horizontal domain ranges upto 3114 km with a resolution of 20 km.  in the central 400 km radius and with increasing radial distance thereafter.

The evolution of an initially balanced vortex with an initial strength of 9 m/sec is studied. It is shown that Emanuel's convection scheme is successful in simulating the development of the initial vortex into a mature, intense cyclonic storm. At the mature stage, a minimum surface pressure of 930 hPa is attained with the associated low level maximum tangential wind speed of 70 m/sec. The simulated circulation features at the mature stage show the formation of an intense cyclone.

 

Two different sensitivity experiments were performed. A set of experiments with the variation of sea surface temperature (SST) from 300.5° to 302° K in steps of 0.5° K have shown that the intensity of model cyclone increases with the increase of SST. Another set of experiments with variation of latitude has shown that the cyclonic storm is more intense at lower latitudes.
Evaluation of the performance of tropical cyclone track prediction techniques
Authors: CHAN JOHNNY C. L.
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. This paper reviews the methods by which techniques for predicting tropical cyclone (TC) motion can be evaluated. Different error measures (forecast error, systematic error, and cross-track and along-track errors) are described in detail. Examples are then given to show how these techniques can be further evaluated by stratifying the forecasts based on factors related to the TC, including latitude, longitude, intensity change, size and past movement. Application of the Empirical-Orthogonal-Function (EOF) approach to represent the environmental flow associated with the TCs is also proposed. The magnitudes of the EOF coefficients can then be used to stratify the forecasts since these coefficients represent different types of flow fields. A complete evaluation of a forecast technique then consists of a combination of analyzing the different error measures based on both the storm- related factors and the EOF coefficients.

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. The variational method for data assimilation as implemented in the operational scheme at ECMWF is briefly presented. The performance of the variational scheme (3D-Var) with respect to tropical cyclones and the Asian summer monsoon is investigated and compared to the Optimum Interpolation scheme. It is found that the analysis of near-surface winds has improved significantly particularly in the vicinity of tropical storms and depressions. The better analyses have led to improvements in the short range forecasts (day 1 to day 3) of such systems.

The summer monsoon appears slightly stronger in the 3D-Var analyses, giving enhanced forecast precipitation over the Western Ghats and over large parts of northern India. Only in the latter of these two areas does this verify with observations. The forecasts for India of geopotential, wind and temperature have improved significantly at all forecast ranges, as verified against own analyses. These results are based on 28 cases in two separate 2-week periods.

Experiments with cones rotating in air, with the angle at vertex of cone β = 120º and β = 180º shown that with frequency Ω ≥ 2,5 Hz the projection of particles trajectories on horizontal plane (particles diameter d ≈ 0,1 mm) is close to logarithmic spirals. Analysis of this approximation function and results of the physical simulation, which allow to determine the coefficient of near-surface resistance CD * shown that particles does not slide or roll on the cone surface. Average distance between particles and surface less, but commensurable with the thickness of stationary near-surface velocity layer. The thickness of stationary near-surface velocity layer at least ten times more than dimensions of the particles. Particles are “jumping” on the solid surface, the height of this “jumps” is approximately equal the displacement thickness of the velocity layer. Particles’ transference on the normal to surface and their unidirectional rotation lead to mass exchange between the layers of the viscous fluid, therefore, intensify the heat abstraction from hot surface to air and particles. This factors lead to reduction of the heating time and increase of flash-products quality
