Analysis of spatial patterns of trends in the frequency and intensity of Indian precipitation
Authors: ROY SHOURASENI SEN , BALLING Jr. ROBERT C. 
Published: November 2021

We assembled daily precipitation records for 129 weather stations spread all over India for the time period 1910 to 2000. Next we classified these stations into nine different regions according to the mean annual precipitation values for the different India meteorological sub-divisions. We conducted detailed analysis of total precipitation and the frequency of precipitation for each five-percentile interval for every region. In general, our results show a decrease in precipitation throughout much of India with only the northwest showing an increase. Our analyses by precipitation percentile class intervals show that the most extreme events have become more frequent, particularly in the western half of the country. Our results are broadly consistent with the IPCC Scientific Assessment by Houghton et al. (2001) and other studies focusing on the spatial dimensions of Indian precipitation over time.

In this study NCAR MM5 with the cumulus parameterization scheme of Kain-Fritsch is used to simulate the evaluation of Orissa Super Cyclone for the period 25-30 October 1999. The NCAR MM5 with two-way nested horizontal domains of 90, 30 and 10 km are integrated for five days starting from 0000 UTC of 25 October, 1999. The initial and boundary conditions for this study have been taken from NCEP FNL analysis data available at 1° resolution.
The model simulation produces the development of the Orissa Super Cyclone with attained central sea level pressure of 954 hPa and maximum wind of 58 msec-1. The essential characteristics such as warm core, eye and eye-wall simulation, hurricane core winds were obtained by the model. The model could predict a maximum rainfall of 40 cm/day near the landfall point. The model produces a very good estimate of track with errors of 120 km at 24 hours and decreasing to 0 km at 120 hours.

The data on chemical composition of wet only precipitation from two island stations Minicoy in Arabian Sea and Portblair in Bay of Bengal, representing 22 year period, 1981-2002 have been analyzed. An attempt has been made to explain the correlation between various ionic concentrations. The maximum concentrations of sulfate, nitrate and hydrogen ions in rainwater are observed during winter season. When classified by season the wet deposition flux for all the ions is greatest in the monsoon season during which precipitation is substantially high. A tendency for increase in acidic deposition is observed at both the stations. The volcanic activity at Barren island appears to influence the chemical composition of rainwater at Portblair. The annual wet deposition of SO42- ranged from 15.6 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Minicoy to 25.5 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Portblair, and the corresponding amounts of NO3- deposited ranged from 38.0 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Minicoy to 74.6 kg ha-1 yr-1 at Portblair. Of the cations Na+ and Ca2+ are the elements deposited in largest quantities followed by Mg2+ and K+.

An attempt has been made to examine the dynamical role (if any) played by the Western Ghats (WG), in the distance effect of vortex over the Bay of Bengal (BOB) on the rainfall enhancement over Pune, during southwest monsoon season (SWMS). To examine it, a dynamical model of airflow over a meso-scale barrier has been used. Six cases have been studied, in which enhancement of rainfall over Pune in presence of vortex over the Head Bay are noticed. Out of these six cases, in four cases it is found that the dynamical model can capture, at least qualitatively, the observed fluctuation (rise and fall) of rainfall over Pune. In these four cases westerly along west coast was strong with considerable depth in vertical. In one of the other two cases, the model has been able to capture, at least qualitatively, the observed rise in rainfall but failed to capture the observed fall in rainfall. In the other case the model has failed completely to capture, even qualitatively, the fluctuation in observed rainfall over Pune. In the last two cases, westerly along west coast station was weak and shallow.

An attempt is made here to understand this fact in case of hydrological regime over India through water balance model. The investigation mainly addresses the climate teleconnection impacts of ENSO/LNSO signal on the hydrological fluxes for All India.
Precipitation simulation of synoptic scale systems over western Himalayan region using Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model
Authors: SEMWAL GIRISH , GIRI R. K. 
Published: November 2021

Operational weather prediction over western Himalayan region is a challenging job due to scarcity of data and complex topography that interacts with approaching weather system. Accurate prediction of complex weather phenomena requires dense data network which is difficult to establish in mountain due to complex terrain and hostile weather conditions over Himalaya. The alternate method to overcome this problem is by ingesting three-dimensional meteorological variables from global model’s analysis and forecast values as initial and lateral boundary conditions in meso-scale numerical models. Simultaneously, data assimilation is a potential tool in which non-conventional [satellite, radar and Automatic Weather Station (AWS)] and conventional (surface and upper air observations) data are ingested in the numerical models to generate high resolution and accurate initial fields for the initialization of the mesoscale model. In the present study, Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model has been used for the prediction of synoptic weather system known as Western Disturbance (WD) that affects the weather of western and central Himalaya during winter period (November – April).The ARPS model has been selected for this study because the model has its own objective analysis and quality control system. It has the capacity to ingest the satellite, Doppler weather radar data and other types of observations. Its assimilation system can also be used to overcome the problem of data scarcity in Himalayan region. In this study, initial and lateral boundary fields are taken from the T-80 spectral global model operationally used at National Centre for Medium Range Prediction (NCMRWF), Noida (UP), India. The global model’s analysis was taken as the initial condition and 24 hour’s interval forecasts as lateral boundary conditions. The model has been used for the simulation of few WDs for 96 hours (Four days). The comparison of ARPS simulation with T-80 forecast shows that the ARPS model could produce better results in respect of the circulation of WDs and hence it can be utilized for the operational weather prediction over the Indian region.

Do we need a UK vascular journal? Survey of multidisciplinary UK vascular specialists
Authors: Long J , Lathan R , Sidapra M , Chetter I , Nandhra S 
Published: November 2021

Background: Prior to the development of the Journal of Vascular Societies Great Britain & Ireland (JVSGBI), there were limited opportunities for UK based vascular health professionals to publish research relevant for UK vascular practice. A survey was developed to evaluate the appetite and potential infrastructure for a UK vascular journal amongst vascular healthcare professionals. Methods: In May 2020, an online questionnaire was administered by The Vascular Society	of Great Britain and Ireland (VSGBI) Research Committee, surveying vascular health professionals regarding the development of a UK-specific vascular journal. The survey was disseminated via email to multi-disciplinary members of the vascular community with links promoted on social media. Results: Responses were received from 359 individuals identifying predominantly as surgeons (38%), nurses (8%), technologists (10%), radiologists (20%), trainees (10%), physiotherapists (7%) and other (7%). The majority of participants (67%) indicated they would be in favour of a UK-specific vascular journal and that it should be available as an online quarterly publication. Almost three quarters (74%) of respondents thought a subscription fee should be included in societies’ membership fees. Free text comments highlighted a few concerns, suggesting the focus should instead be to improve the quality of existing vascular journals. However, most respondents welcomed the idea of a journal relevant to UK practice, with inclusivity of all UK vascular professions to encourage more collaborative working. Conclusions: Overall, feedback collected from the survey was positive and suggested a demand for a UK-specific vascular journal, providing an indication that the development of such a journal should be further explored. The results of this survey helped to inform the development of the JVSGBI.
Quelle actionnabilité des recherches en sciences de gestion dans le secteur médico-social ?
Authors: Mohamed  , Clémence  , Scouarnec Aline 
Published: November 2021

Cet article explore la question de l’actionnabilité des recherches en sciences de gestion, portant sur le médico-social.
Interroger l’actionnabilité des recherches nécessite quelques précisions liées tout d’abord à la temporalité de ces recherches, ensuite, la difficulté de clarifier leur objet qui s’explique essentiellement par la complexité du terrain. Enfin les questions de la confidentialité des données, de l’éthique et de la reconnaissance du statut du chercheur sur le terrain se posent.
La démarche mobilisée consiste à explorer les terrains de plusieurs recherches en sciences de gestion portant sur le secteur médico-social. L’ensemble des 36 articles repérés a ensuite fait l’objet d’une analyse selon trois thèmes, à savoir la temporalité des recherches, l’accès au terrain, la méthodologie mobilisée, ainsi que la diffusion des recherches auprès des organisations étudiées.
Des propositions préconisant une meilleure interaction entre le chercheur et les professionnels du terrain ont enfin été énoncées, comme la formation continue ou la valorisation des groupes de travail communs. Cela toujours dans l’objectif d’améliorer l’actionnabilité des recherches en sciences de gestion de ce secteur.
Carbon Sequestration in Agroforestry Technologies as a Strategy for Climate Change Mitigation
Authors: Elibariki Nnko Lazaro 
Published: November 2021

Worldwide agroforestry has been recognized as a potential greenhouse gases mitigation strategy under Kyoto protocol. And this is due to its potential in carbon sequestration. There are several agroforestry technologies with different rate in carbon sequestration. In that respect carbon sequestration can depend on type of technology, climate, time since land use change and previous land use. Our knowledge in this topic from the tropical countries such as Tanzania is how ever very limited. To address this challenge this study was undertaken in Kilombero District where the local community are practicing various agroforestry technologies. The objective of this study was to understand the carbon sequestration in different trees species in agroforestry technologies and also to understand which agroforestry technology provide the greatest benefit in term of carbon sequestration. Ecological survey was conducted and a total of 90 plot engaged in different agroforestry technologies were randomly selected from three villages of different altitudinal range. Pivot table was used in analysis and allometric equation was used for computing biomass and carbon. The result shows that Mangifera indica contributed highest carbon over all the tree species encountered during ecological survey with 189.88 Mg C ha−1. Home garden, Mixed intercropping, Parkland and Boundary with 19 514.19 MgCha−1, 648.44MgCha−1,144.79 MgCha−1 and 139.29 Mg C ha−1 respectively were the agroforestry technology practiced in Kilombero. From the results Home garden contributed more to carbon sequestration and this study results can be used to inform practitioners and policy makers on the most effective agroforestry technologies for carbon sequestration since agroforestry technologies are expected to play important role as climate change mitigation strategy.
“Get Your Teeth Fixed Before You Go on TV”: Online Discussions of Reality Television as the Hegemonic Gaze Pointed at Socially Unacceptable “Others”
Authors: Machek Jakub 
Published: November 2021

The article is engaged with the question of how viewers of Czech reality television programmes negotiate the social status of low-income participants in online discussions. The analysis is triggered by an enquiry into practices of stigmatisation and the processes of drawing, maintaining, and shifting boundaries between the normalised, well-ordered “self” and the poverty-stricken, socially unacceptable “other”. The public judgement of people lacking economic and cultural capital is analysed using Internet and social network debates related to the Czech adaptations of the reality TV programmes Výměna manželek (Wife Swap, TV Nova, 2005-present) and Prostřeno (Come Dine with Me, TV Prima, 2010-present). This method provides insight into the creation of consensual meaning, and allows the analysis of the positions, claims and arguments adopted by online discussants. The research outcome showed some important differences between the evaluations offered by the producers of programmes and those accepted by viewers.
Systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of continuous subjective tinnitus on attention and habituation
Authors: Vasudevan Harini , Ganapathy Kanaka , Palaniswamy Hari Prakash , Searchfield Grant , Rajashekhar Bellur 
Published: November 2021

BackgroundAttention and habituation are two domains known to play key roles in the perception and maintenance of tinnitus. The heterogeneous nature of tinnitus and the methodologies adopted by various studies make it difficult to generalize findings. The current review aims at assessing and synthesizing evidence on the possible roles of attention and habituation in continuous subjective tinnitus.MethodologyThe literature search included five databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, CINAHL and ProQuest) that resulted in 1,293 articles, published by July 2019. Studies on attention and/or habituation in individuals with tinnitus using either behavioural or electrophysiological tests were included in the review after a quality assessment.ResultsSeventeen studies on attention in tinnitus were included in the narrative synthesis. Two meta-analyses were performed to assess the role of attention in tinnitus using a behavioural methodology (z = 4.06;p < 0.0001) and P300 amplitude (z = 2.70;p = 0.007) with 531 participants. With respect to habituation, the review indicates the lack of quality articles for habituation inclusion in the narrative synthesis.ConclusionsThe review highlights that selective domains of attention were consistently impaired in individuals with tinnitus. Habituation, on the other hand, needs further exploration.
The influence of storage time on ponazuril concentrations in feline plasma
Authors: Cox Sherry , Harvill Lainey , Singleton Sarah , Bergman Joan B. , DeBolt Becky 
Published: November 2021

Background
The pharmacokinetics of ponazuril have been determined in several species; however, there is very little information on the stability of the drug after storage for long periods of time. This study was undertaken to determine the stability of ponazuril in plasma samples stored at −80 °C, which is the temperature most commonly used in the author’s laboratory.

Method
Spiked plasma samples (0.3, 7.5, and 15 µg/mL) were stored at −80 °C for three months. Analysis occurred on the first day and then once a week for the following twelve weeks. The drug was extracted using a chloroform extraction and separated by high performance liquid chromatography using ultraviolet detection.

Results
There was no loss of drug for any concentration for the first four weeks of storage. There was an average loss of less than 5% from day 35 through day 70 and an average loss of 6% on day 77 and 84. The data suggest that ponazuril is stable for 4 weeks when stored at −80 °C and undergoes minimal loss in the remaining 8 weeks.
Assessing the Toxic Effects of Insecticides on Honey Bees in the West Gonja District of the Savannah Region of Ghana
Authors: Lambon Joseph , Issahaku Abdul-Rahaman 
Published: November 2021

Aims: To examine the toxic effects of insecticides on bees in farming communities in the Savannah Region of Ghana.
Study Design: The study employed five different doses of insecticides to 3 groups of 10 honey bees in each group using 3 types of insecticides. The number of dead bees were registered and used for the estimation of LC50 of each insecticide.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted at Damongo Agricultural Training College, Ghana, between August 2019 and September 2019.
Methodology: We collected bees from farms in the West Gonja District of the Savannah Region of Ghana. Controller Super 2.5 EC, Pyrinex 48 EC and Golan SL were insecticides used for the experiment. Live adult bees were randomly obtained from beehives at 2:00 am from the farms when the bees were not aggressive. The bees were collected by hand and placed into a perforated plastic container and transported from the site of collection to the experimental site. They were allowed to acclimatize to the experimental conditions for a period of three hours under room temperature of 24 °C and a relative humidity of 49 percent throughout the study.
Results: Mortalities were recorded 10 minutes after administering the concentrations and thereafter at every 10 minutes continuously till 60 minutes. The LC50 was calculated using Where N is the number of honey bees in each group
Controller Supper 2.5 EC at a concentration of 6.7 ml/L gave the highest mean mortality (10 bees) at the 50th minute while the concentration of 1.0 ml/L gave the lowest mean mortality (0.0 bees) in the same 50th minute.
Conclusion: The LC50 for the three insecticides used were within the recommended concentrations provided by the Environmental Protection Agency of Ghana. The overall mortalities occurred when honey bees were exposed to different concentrations of all the three insecticides.
