An attempt was made to study dynamics of length-weight relationship (LWR), relative condition factor (Kn) and gonado-somatic index (GSI) of Labeo calbasu from the wetlands of South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India. A total of 275 fish specimens (130 to 430 mm) were examined over nine months from December 2006 to August 2007. Specimens were categorized into two groups based on the size at first maturity of 260 mm. The LWR was recorded W = 0.007269 L3.181 for Group A (<260 mm) and W = 0.007367 L3.031 for Group B (≥260 mm). The individuals exhibited isometric growth. The monthly mean Kn values varied from 0.924 to 1.141 with an average value of 1.059. The mean monthly values of GSI varied from 0.544 to 3.301 for male and 0.560 to 9.649 for female. There was significant variation (P < 0.05) in the mean values of GSI in different months between sexes.

Published: May 2022

Lack of quality carp seeds is one of the major problems for fish production in Bangladesh. This experiment was conducted during July to December 2013 to study the production and economics of carp polyculture using wild and hatchery produced seeds in ponds in Faridpur district, Bangladesh. Seeds of native major carps (NMCs) (Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala) and non-native carps (NNCs) (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenophryngodon idella, Aristichthys nobilis and Cyprinus carpio) from four different sources were tested in feed and fertilizer based polyculture ponds under controlled mesocosm trials with four treatments (T1–T4), each with four replications. Combination, weight and density of the stocked species were same for all the treatments. Water quality parameters were monitored monthly and mean values were found within suitable range for fish farming. Mean final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and yield of L. rohita, C. catla and C. mrigala were found significantly (P < 0.05) higher with treatment T1, T3 and T2 respectively. Treatments T1-T3 varied more significantly (P < 0.05) than treatment T4 for total fish yield and cost benefit ratio. Polyculture of wild sourced NMCs and hatchery produced NNCs were found more profitable than aquaculture of hatchery produced NMCs and NNCs.

Published: May 2022

Inland fisheries provide food security, livelihood and well-being to community. Fisheries management of lakes is a complex process, influenced by many drivers. In this study the driver of fisheries of lakes of Pokhara Valley were determined through interview of Jalari fishers, key informants and field visits from July 2016 to June 2017. Key drivers were illegal fishing, siltation, loss of fish habitat, water pollution and accelerated eutrophication, intensification of agriculture, biological invasion and developmental works. These drivers have played a key role in changing lake characteristics including lake size, water quality, water depth and natural food availability which subsequently affected the cage aquaculture and capture fisheries of the lake. This paper included an insight of these drivers along with strategy to mitigate them to ensure sustainable fisheries.

Published: May 2022

Stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) is one of the most popular indigenous catfish having considerable potential for aquaculture and commercial importance in Bangladesh. With a view to assessing the genetic status of H. fossilis, three samples Chalan Beel (Pabna), Burungi Beel (Jamalpur) and Bagapura Beel (Mymensingh) were analyzed. For genetic variation study, five enzymes (LDH, EST, MDH, PGM and GPI) were used encoded by eight loci of which three were polymorphic (Mdh-1*, Est-1* and Gpi-1*). The highest mean proportion of polymorphic loci, mean number of allele and the mean proportion of heterozygous loci per individual of the Chalan Beel population were observed (25.00%, 1.250 and 6.250%, respectively). The highest gene flow (33.5) and lowest population differentiation (0.0074) found in Burungi Beel-Bagapura Beel indicated the close relationship among them. In the Nei’s UPGMA dendrogram, the Chalan Beel population formed one cluster by the genetic distance of 0.0371 and the other cluster was formed by Burungi Beel and Bagapura Beel populations (D=0.003). The results suggested that a considerable genetic variation is maintained among the natural H. fossilis populations.

Published: May 2022

Growth and survival of Clarias gariepinus juveniles fed with a local feed and coppens commercial feed were observed for 16 weeks at the laboratory of the Department of Zoology, University of Ilorin, Nigeria. The proximate compositions and economics of the feeds and water quality of the cultured tanks were assessed. Fish fed with coppens showed significant (P<0.05) higher weight increase, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and low food conversion ratio than fish fed with local feed. Significant (P<0.05) higher mortality were recorded in fish fed with the local feed. The growth performance was a reflection of the proximate composition of the feeds with local feed having low crude protein (10.95%), lipid (3.95%) and ash (4.92%) when compared to coppens which had 42% crude protein, 12% lipid and 9.5% ash with protein being most significant. Carbohydrate (69.90%) and crude fiber (2.88%) were higher in the local feed than in coppens with an imbalance in carbohydrate and lipid ratio. Mortality was attributed to stress resulting from the poor quality of the feed. Cost of feeding with local feed to a weight gain of 31.67g was ₦80, while the cost of feeding with coppens to a weight gain of 148.58g was ₦16.

Authors: Efken Karl H. , Spíndola B. Alves Pedro 
Published: May 2022

A Epistemologia, enquanto pensamento sobre as possibilidades do conhecimento, possui uma grande relevância para a educação. A premissa que serve de ponto de partida para as reflexões aqui propostas é a de que alterações na perspectiva epistemológica que se adote afetam inexoravelmente o pensamento sobre a educação. Partindo deste ponto inicial, o presente artigo pretende refletir sobre algumas questões epistemológicas relevantes para a contemporaneidade e, então, cogitar de implicações/afetações que podem ser pensadas para a educação a partir delas. O caminho das reflexões epistemológicas que aqui se optou por percorrer envolve dois elementos: 1] a noção de construção da cultura presente no projeto da modernidade e a consequência de seu abandono; 2] a proposição de conceitos fundamentais da Hermenêutica para a atividade do compreender. Cada elemento mencionado será desenvolvido nos tópicos 1 e 2, respectivamente. O entrelaçamento destas reflexões e sua importância para depreender certas implicações para pensar a educação serão tratados no tópico final, apontando sobretudo que demarcações podem já ser tomadas como necessárias para a discussão.
Bilevel Optimization of Well Placement and Control Settings Assisted by Capacitance-Resistance Models
Authors: Arouri Yazan , Lake Larry W. , Sayyafzadeh Mohammad 
Published: May 2022

SummaryWell control and well placement optimization have typically been considered as separate problems. More recently, there have been a number of works which have shown improved results when these two problems are considered in a joint manner. However, this joint optimization problem, whether in a sequential or simultaneous manner, is more computationally demanding. In light of this, we propose the use of capacitance-resistance models (CRMs) to assist the computational demand of the joint optimization of well controls and well placement. Specifically, we use a bilevel (or nested) approach, where the outer loop is the well placement problem and the inner loop is the well control problem assisted by CRMs. The well placement problem is solved using particle swarm optimization (PSO), and the well control problem is solved using Adam-simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). The proposed approach is compared with the conventional implementation using only high fidelity full-physics simulations on two reservoir models of varying complexity. We also investigate the accuracy of the CRMs during the optimization procedure. The proposed approach resulted in solutions for the joint optimization problems with objective function values of up to 21.8% higher than the conventional approach and up to a 99.6% decrease in the number of required reservoir simulations.
Rapid Sharing of Islamophobic Hate on Facebook: The Case of the Tablighi Jamaat Controversy
Authors: Ghasiya Piyush , Sasahara Kazutoshi 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about several challenges in addition to the virus itself. The rise of Islamophobic hate speech on social media is one such challenge. As countries were coping with economic collapse due to mass lockdown, hateful people, especially those associated with far-right groups, were targeting and blaming Muslims for the spread of the coronavirus. In India where intense religious/communal polarization is taking place under the right-wing Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) led government, one such prominent instance of Islamophobia—the “Tablighi Jamaat Controversy” (TJC)—occurred. This article analyzes Facebook posts by public groups over a five-month period (March to August 2020) to find the major actors and track their link-sharing behavior. We found that the Pro-BJP groups with a right-wing ideology spread Islamophobic hate speech, while other groups (anti-hate) worked to counter the hate. We also found that the hate disseminators were extremely active (three times faster) in sharing their content as compared to the anti-hate groups. Finally, our research indicated that the links most widely shared by the hate spreaders were mostly misinformation. These results explain the use of the Facebook platform to spread hate and misinformation, demonstrating how BJP’s pro-Hindu ideology and its attitude towards Muslims is directly and indirectly enabling these actors to spew hate against Muslims with no legal consequences.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Textile industries are one of the leading environmental pollutants, releasing harmful dye effluents. In many textile districts, the amount of excess color in treated textile effluent that exceeds regulatory limitations is still a major concern. The combining usage of nanomaterials and polymer material to solve these issues using various techniques. In this research, Graphene oxide - Copper Oxide (GO-CuO) nanomaterial incorporated into cellulose-acetate (CA), poly-ether sulfone (PES) blend polymer by using phase inversion process to fabricate thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane for removal of dye pollutant. The physiochemical properties of prepared TFN materials were studied by FT-IR, XRD, FESEM, AFM, TGA and mechanical strength analysis. Dye adsorption experiments performed with four typical water-soluble organic dyes methylene blue (MB), rhodamine blue (Rh. B), methyl orange (MO) and Congo red (CR). As a result, the fabricated TFN material it was proven as most effective adsorbent material for cationic dye molecules. Also, when the fabricated material was tested to a textile industry effluent sample, all physio-chemical properties exhibited a considerable decrease in concentrations when compared to the real textile effluent concentration. The treated effluents permitted for a relatively greater growth and germination index of Tropical amaranth roots than the textile effluent, demonstrating that phytotoxicity testing was also successful. The most effective temperature, concentration and pH were found to be 273K, 1×10− 5 M and pH-9. The fabricated TFN membrane material (GO-CuO @ CA-PES) can be recommended for water treatment applications.

Authors: Singh Kanwarpreet , Khaidem Sukhajit 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Landslides are the most catastrophic geological natural hazard in mountainous terrain. To minimise and mitigate these threats, comprehensive landslide mitigation and management, landslide assessment, and susceptibility zonation are required. Various methods are established based on different assessment methodologies, which are classified into qualitative and quantitative approaches. GIS based landslide susceptibility mapping was carried out along the National Highway 37, which connects Assam and Manipur and is a vital lifeline for the state. Field visits, LANDSAT bands, and Google Earth were used to create a landslide inventory map along the road corridor. To perform landslide susceptibility zonation modelling based on Frequency Ratio, Shannon’s Entropy, and Weight of Evidence, thematic layers of several landslide causative elements were delineated. The study area has been categorized into five vulnerable zones: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. The landslide susceptibility zonation map was validated using the area under curve and landslide density methods. The final map will be helpful for various stakeholders, including town planners, engineers, geotechnical engineers, and geologists, for development and construction activities along NH-37.
