Correlation between female literacy and sex ratio in Rajasthan: a geographical analysis.
Full text linkABSTRACT
Education changes the awareness of the society, so literacy responsible for the changing pattern of sex composition of any region. The study triumphs that Literacy has vital effects on the sex ratio. Therefore, the present paper is aimed to analyze the Correlation between female Literacy and Sex Ratio in Rajasthan using data collected by the 2011 census. Spearman’s Rank Difference method is used to analyze the correlation between literacy and sex ratio. The study reveals that the correlation between female literacy and sex ratio is r= -295. It is a moderate negative correlation. The female literacy and sex ratio have moved the opposite direction in Rajasthan. The sex ratio has been found higher in districts, which have low female literacy. Kota district has registered the highest female literacy of (65.9%) but it has a very low sex ratio of 911.

Housing the seasonal migrants, a challenge for Urban Sustainability: The Case of India.
Full text link Cities have served as the cradle of civilization, engine for growth, and fuel for the sustenance of mankind since their inception. With time, they have evolved to be inherently complex urban systems and have attracted various perils to their very existence due to unprecedented growth and expansion, the excessive harnessing of natural resources, economic, social, and cultural fragmentation of society, climate change, etc. Under these conditions, principles, and ideals of sustainable urbanism have emerged as a ray of hope, as there seems to be the key to humanity’s future survival. Sustainable urbanism entails the creation of an urban or city environment that functions to foster the long-term viability of social, financial, and environmental systems coupled with being responsible for citizens' mental health and well-being. Among many others, inclusion and ensuring the equal right to the city for all, including those on the margins, is one of the most important pillars on which urban sustainability stands. When looked at from this perspective, seasonal migrants are one of the most unequal citizens in cities worldwide, including India. Their extreme exclusion from urban processes is evident from their wide-scale invisibility in the policy and planning discourses of most urban entities. In addition to the lack of basic facilities like clean water, sanitation, food security, etc. the lack of affordable and adequate housing for seasonal migrants is often the single most dominant obstacle in the path of their equal citizenship which also creates serious roadblocks in the path to the attainment of sustainable development goals for the cities they reside in temporarily. Unless ‘Housing for all is made a reality, a sustainable urban future will remain a long-distant dream. In India, The concept of affordable rental housing has been gaining considerable importance in e the last decade both in terms of policy and implementation, but their unsuitability to fit in with the seasonal migrants due to their peculiar contextual reality is also becoming increasingly evident. The achievement of sustainability goals of cities and countries is intricately related to their success in solving the perennial problem of housing this segment of the vulnerable city -dwellers and cities must give urgent attention to addressing this concern for ensuring a sustainable urban future

(In)justicia multidimensional y pedagogías socialmente justas: el caso de un padre de un niño con discapacidad
Full text linkIn this article, we intend to contribute to the debate of educational justice, especially for children with special needs, challenging those theories that focus only on unidimensional aspects. Using Gewirtz's multidimensional model of justice and the frame of socially just pedagogies, we analyse the case of Oscar, a father of a child with Down Syndrome, who is looking for a school for his son. The case develops in the Chilean educational system context, which is known by its neoliberal policy frame and its highly stratified structure. For this reason, a new inclusion law and, specifically, a new school admission system were implemented in 2015 and 2017 respectively, to generate a fairer and more equal school admission policy frame. Therefore, our theoretical proposition has practical implications, in policy terms, and analytical ones. We propose to add two dimensions of educational justice at the time we analyse Oscar’s case: first, educational justice must embrace injustices that are not necessarily experienced in formal educational spaces; we call this the multi-spatiality dimension of justice. Second, we propose a multi-temporality analysis of educational justice, one that considers, as socially just pedagogies have established, a focus on the future. In this case the educational policy and discourse promotes a pre-established and normalised future for children, one that is problematic for children with disabilities, whose parents, like Oscar, have a more urgent focus on the present.En este artículo, pretendemos contribuir al debate de la justicia educativa, especialmente para niños/as con necesidades especiales, desafiando aquellas teorías que se enfocan solo en aspectos unidimensionales. Utilizando el modelo multidimensional de justicia de Gewirtz y el marco de las pedagogías socialmente justas, analizamos el caso de Oscar, padre de un niño con Síndrome de Down, que busca una escuela para su hijo. El caso se desarrolla en el contexto del sistema educativo chileno, que se caracteriza por un marco político neoliberal y con una estructura altamente estratificada. Debido a esto es que en 2015 y 2017 respectivamente, se implementó una nueva ley de inclusión y, específicamente, un nuevo sistema de admisión escolar, para generar un marco de política de admisión escolar más justo y equitativo. De este modo, nuestra propuesta teórica tiene implicaciones prácticas—en términos de política pública— y analíticas. Proponemos agregar dos dimensiones de la justicia educativa al momento de analizar el caso Oscar: primero, la justicia educativa debe abrazar injusticias que no necesariamente se viven en los espacios educativos formales; a esto lo llamamos la dimensión multiespacial de la justicia. En segundo lugar, proponemos un análisis de multitemporalidad de la justicia educativa, que considere, como lo han establecido las pedagogías socialmente justas, un enfoque hacia el futuro. En este caso, la política y el discurso educativo promueven un futuro preestablecido y normalizado para los niños y niñas, lo que es problemático para los niños/as con discapacidad, cuyos padres, como Oscar, tienen un foco en el presenta más urgente

Assessment of Bacteriological Quality of Drinking Water from Various Sources in Tukarah Town, NE Libya
Full text linkThe aim of this study was to evaluate drinking water quality in 21 water sources categorized in three levels. Samples of water were collected from each source for bacteriological examination. The results show there was a significant difference between the three levels 1, 2, and 3 for total coliform and fecal coliform bacteria with p-values (0.026) and (0.003) respectively. Presence of total coliform and fecal coliform bacteria were not reported from level 3 and was zero MPN per 100 ml. However, the high contamination by total coliform and fecal coliform bacteria were observed in samples collected from levels 1 and 2, these were in the range of 2 to 350 MPN/100 ml, 2 to 26 MPN/100 ml respectively. On the other hand, the biochemical identification process using Phoenix identified technique for the six isolated strains as Cedecea lapagel (DW4), Citrobacter freundii (DW9), Ochrobacterum anthroi (DW10) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (S10), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (DW4) and Streptococcus anginosus (DW2), with confidence value identities of 90%, 99%, 90%, 95%, 99% and 91% respectively. The findings showed that water from levels 1 and 2 did not conform to the world health organization (WHO) standard in terms of suitability for drinking purpose.Keywords: drinking water quality, coliform and fecal coliform bacteria, MPN/100ml
An Integrated Study of Natural Springs to sustain water security: Case Study of three villages from a Himalayan State of India
Full text linkEquitable access to water, whether it is quantity or quality, is one of the fundamental rights. It facilitates economic development, gender equality and good human health. But in the last few decades, lack of potable water has caused illness and resulting millions of deaths. In Himalayan Region, springs are the basic water source which fulfills the needs of rural population. The point at which the groundwater emerges over the earth surface and flows naturally is called spring. Drying up of these springs, due to climate change and biophysical landscape change, is not only causing problem to human health, impeding gender equality but also causing nearby bio diversity to lose resilience. Therefore, a basic understanding of springs is required for its further studies and to maintain water security. This present work is focused on the initial steps of Spring Sanctuary development. The present outline emphasized on the spring mapping and has prepared a social database of springs of three villages of Saurakhaal nyay panchayat of jakholi block, Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand. The status of the springs has been assessed by monitoring their discharge data for eight months (Nov, 2020-June, 2021). Also, the endangered and vulnerable springs of the study area has been identified by scoring them on the basis of critical issues

Estimación De La Temperatura De La Superficie Terrestre De La Ciudad De Srinagar, India Utilizando Datos De Landsat 8
Full text linkLand surface tempreature (LST) is a critical parameter for the study of biosphere, cryosphere and climate change.. Thermal infrared remote sensing data can be used to measure Land Surface Temperature (LST). It will measure the energy exiting the Earth's surface and record the apparent temperature of the surface. It is now possible to measure LST due to the advent of satellite imagery and digital image processing applications. The LST for Srinagar city was calculated using the Split Window algorithm (SW) and Landsat-8 (Path-149 and Row-36) Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) data with a resolution of 100m. . Emissivity was calculated using the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) proportion of vegetation methodology, with bands 4 and 5 (30 m resolution) from the Operational Land Imager (OLI). Surface temperatures were found to be higher in central regions and lower in heavily vegetated areas. The LST derived using the SW algorithm was more efficient and precise since it used both OLI and TIRS bandsLa temperatura de la superficie terrestre (LST) es un parámetro crítico para el estudio de la biosfera, la criosfera y el cambio climático. Los datos de teledetección infrarroja térmica se pueden utilizar para medir la temperatura de la superficie terrestre (LST). Medirá la energía que sale de la superficie de la Tierra y registrará la temperatura aparente de la superficie. Ahora es posible medir LST debido a la llegada de imágenes de satélite y aplicaciones de procesamiento de imágenes digitales.
