 Abstract

Expeditious and unchecked urban expansion has significantly altered the urban environments. This has warranted the need of understanding, monitoring and analyzing the spatial patterns of urban growth. Relative Shannon Entropy is widely used metrics for assessment of pattern and the extent of urban growth in cities. Thereupon, this research paper pertains to quantify and monitor the patterns and dynamics of urban growth using Relative Shannon Entropy with integration of Geospatial technology in the city of Haldwani, Uttarakhand. In this study, land use land cover maps were extracted using satellite imageries of LISS IV and Sentinel II for 2005-2019 time periods. Subsequently, built-up, road network and the core of the city were extracted from the satellite data for the years 2005, 2008, 2013 and 2019. Eventually, Relative Shannon entropy (RE) was computed with reference to the core and the major roads for 2005-2008, 2008-2013 and 2013-2019 time periods. It has been observed that the obtained RE values exhibits that the pattern of urban growth in the city was a compact in the earlier period (2005), which in due course of time (2019) has changed to a dispersed pattern of urban expansion concerning both the core and the roads of the city. This research work thus enables in understanding the spatio-temporal pattern of urban growth in the city for effective land use planning in the city for sustainable urbanism.

 Abstract

Ensuring all-round economic development in a state like Assam with its vast geographical diversity is a challenge. The study was undertaken to observe the socio-economic impact on the people living in the char areas, the small riverine islands are termed char and chaporis occupy an important role in the contribution to the economy of the state. These areas are heavily impacted by the yearly floods. The Brahmaputra River along with other rivers in this area is creating floods and leading to severe damage and losses to mankind. Five villages in the Lakhimpur district were selected which are near the river and more flood-prone. This paper has found that in the current scenario, the revenue from traditional sources is very low. Results show that erosion has a great impact on livelihood, agriculture, and the environment. Migration is seen to be a common phenomenon in the study area.

 Abstract

Due to its capacity to draw insightful conclusions from huge and complicated datasets, machine learning has become increasingly popular in recent years across a variety of sectors. Machine learning approaches have proven beneficial in improving our understanding of and ability to anticipate human behavior and mental processes in the fields of psychometrics and psychological prediction. This study offers an overview of machine learning's uses in psychometrics, emphasizing its benefits for psychological prediction, evaluation, and diagnosis. The paper addresses potential ethical issues as well as the numerous machine learning algorithms used in psychometrics, discussing their benefits and drawbacks. This research tries to demonstrate the transformative impact of machine learning on developing the discipline of psychology through a thorough analysis of existing literature.

 Abstract

This study delves into the multifaceted realm of Emotional Intelligence (EI) as distinct from IQ, drawing from the seminal works of Goleman (1995) and Salovey and Mayer (1990). Five significant elements of EI are identified: self-awareness, handling feelings, self-motivation and control, empathy, and social competence. The research seeks to assess the EI of secondary school students in self-awareness, managing emotions, motivating oneself, empathy, and handling relationships while also investigating variations based on gender and locality. Methodologically, a survey approach is adopted, encompassing a stratified random sample of 201 secondary school students from Vizianagaram district. The Ekta Sharma Emotional Intelligence Test, recognized for its robust Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.9, serves as the assessment tool. The findings shed light on the distribution of EI levels among students, revealing that 14% exhibit low, 72% moderate, and another 14% high EI. Moreover, the majority of students demonstrate moderate EI across the five components, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. The study uncovers noteworthy disparities in EI between male and female students and between urban and rural school settings. These results underscore the significance of cultivating emotional Intelligence among students and advocate for tailored interventions to bolster emotional skills. The study's implications extend to educational practice by emphasizing the necessity of EI-focused curricular integration, teacher training, and parental involvement to foster a more emotionally intelligent learning environment.
