    Active Death Cases and Recovery Rates of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comparative Study of Developed, Developing, and Least Developed Countries of the World
    (NB Publications, 2022) Rahaman, Saidur; Saha, Snehasish; Mandal, Tapash; Chakrabarty, Kunal; Mitra, Nita; Pal, Sujit
    At present, people worldwide are fighting against an unseen enemy. Outbreaks of COVID-19 are on the rise in more than 200 countries worldwide. In the world economy, human life has been dramatically affected. The developed developing, and least developed countries of the world have been affected by the extremities of COVID-19. However, the rate of COVID-19 infection is not the same in every country of the world due to some of their rules and facilities such as treatment, infrastructure, lifestyle, and awareness. The study has been done based on secondary data. Daily data on the number of recovered, active, and deaths cases were collected up to the study endpoint via the Johns Hopkins University data source (https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19) on 24 December 2020 at 21.58 GTM and daily situation reports of World Health Organization (WHO). The data used relates to the descriptive statistics and Normalized Z-score and found relations among 15. In Developed countries, on an average, the affected COVID-19 cases were 28.73 people, say 29per thousand; median COVID-19 cases are 27.62 people, say 28 per thousand people. The average recovery rate is 65.95 % in Developed countries. Nevertheless, high confirmed cases have been found in the U.S (1,78,44,690) ...

    Analysis of geomorphic indices of longitudinal river profile of Sanka River and its tributaries of Chhota Nagpur Plateau, India
    (Bluerose Publishers, 2022) Biswas, Baidurya; Saha, Snehasish; Saha, Snehasish; Chakrabarty, Kunal; Das, Mantu
    Longitudinal profile of a river provides the idea about tectonic activity and local terrain condition through which the river is flowing. It provides the information about the change in slope, natural breaks, and knick points in river course and also provides vivid idea about the cycle of development of the river. To understand minutely the local geomorphic condition, the longitudinal profiles of other major tributaries of Sanka River has been considered. By comparing the linear, logarithmic, exponential, and power regression models with distance against elevation data and geologic structure, it has been possible to understand the shape of lengthy profiles. The best fit model has been decided on the basis of derived R2 or Coefficient of Determination and the model which provides minimum sum of square of residuals and standard deviation have been considered as best fit model. It has observed that longitudinal profile majority of the streams fits with exponential model except Sanka River and Srigi Nala fits with power regression model and Dhudi Jhor fits with linear regression.

    Analyzing the Complex Interaction of Active Tectonics and Basin Scale Geomorphology: A Case Study of Chel River Basin Using GIS Tool
    (BlueRose Publishers, 2022) Ghosh, Debarshi; Saha, Snehasish; Saha, Snehasish; Chakrabarty, Kunal; Das, Mantu
    The channel of Chel expressing a highly dynamic behavior in its entire course especially at the mountain out let by means of sediment-water supply variation. The existing water regime is the expression of highly variable nature of rainfall and structurally controlled river channel. Fluvial dynamics of Chel basin is highly abrupt in nature as the seasonal alterations disclose no steady trend of ongoing channel processes. Dependent on tectonic activity, hydrological regime, and sediment load of certain streams, the characteristics of the mountain front of the Darjeeling sub-Himalaya display a considerable variability. The surface is made up of a variety of alluvial fans from Quaternary sand deposition. The longitudinal profile following the channel thalweg shows distinct fluctuations of height due to such epierogenetic movements and interruption of normal cycle of erosion. The value of Hypsometric integral (48.56) indicates that the fluvial system is approaching to late youthful stage. The reason of tectonic instability and complex cycle of epierogenetic upliftments have been controlling the process of dynamic rejuvenation in this basin.

    Caste Networks and Women Migrant Workers: Traps in New Normal Times
    (Mittal Publiocations, 2022) Chakraborty, Ranjita; Deb, Papia
    The pandemic since the past one year has been one of the greatest teachers for all of us as well as thrown towards the people and the policy makers diverse ranging challenges stretching from socio-political, economic to individual challenges at the micro level. One of the major impacts of the pandemic and the lockdown that followed in India was the huge job loss experienced by the people in the unorganised sector as well as in the small scale and medium scale enterprises. As the lockdown was declared India was a witness to a heart wrenching event, the walking back to home of a million individuals, men, women and children, rendered jobless and in the absence of a safety net, with the government clueless about ways to manage the crisis, walking to a shelter. For the first time we were awakened to a category of people--the migrant workers. These were not to be taken as similar to the urban educated workers employed in high profile white collared jobs and who were successful in sufficiently getting themselves integrated with the local people. The migrant workers were poor, working in low wage jobs and often seen as job competitors by the local poor populace who weren't much different from them. The pandemic converted the city of their employment into a foreign land as they found themselves without a safety net as well as no money to purchase basics. Moreover, they were now put under the radar of suspicion, carriers of the unknown virus.

    Change Detection in Hydrological Time Series Data
    (R K Books, 2022) Paul, Rupak Kumar; Ismile, MD; Siddiqui, Azizur Rahman; Miah, Chhahir Ali
    Scientists are accustomed to use statistical tools and techniques to detect change in hydrological time series, but these available techniques are not the panacea for resolving such issues since the concerned techniques provide expressions of probability and not certainty. For instance, the change in annual discharge has been detected for long term dataset but this change might not be due to alteration of any one or more components like land use land cover, or climate or change in agri-technology - of the system in basin scale, rather it happened due to change in methodology of concerned data generation or shifting of gauge station etc...

    Changing Pattern of Land Use and Land Cover in Balason River Basin: A Spatio-Temporal Analysis
    (Bluerose Publishers, 2022) Mandal, Deepak Kumar; Mitra, Rajib; Roy, Dipesh; Saha, Snehasish; Chakrabarty, Kunal; Das, Mantu
    Land use and land cover (LULC) are significant aspect in determining how human impacts interact with the environment; hence it's cn1cial to predict changes. The empirical analysis revealed a considerable shift in LULC categorization in the Balason River Basin in the Darjeeling region of India. This study attempts to look into how LULC has changed over the past 30 years (1990-2020) in the Balason River Basin. The study area has seen a remarkable growth in population over the years, which has altered the environment of the area. The LULC classification was performed based satellite imageries, and therefore, Landsat imageries were acquired from the USGS satellite image database from 1990-2020. The Maximum Likelihood Algorithm was chosen for supervised image class(fication in order to categorize the LULC. The current study has revealed that the amount of forest area, which was around 72.19 percent in 1990, decreased to 59.22 percent in 2005 and 54.53 percent in 2020. Water bodies and tea plantation is also have experienced a rapid change in their area through time. Agricultural land and built-up areas have remarkably increased from 13.06 to 22. 05 percent and 5. 15 to 13. 72 percent, respectively. The findings highlighted the growing anthropogenic activities. influe11ced the recharge rates, surface runoff, and soil erosion incidences in the Balason basin. it was suggested that the basin's ecosystem be preserved by replanting the lost native trees. In addition, effective land use planning is necessary for the basin's sustainable management.

    Delineation of Groundwater Potential Zones Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Technique in Balason River Basin of West Bengal, India
    (BlueRose Publishers, 2022) Rahaman, Saidur; Das, Mantu; Saha, Snehasish; Saha, Snehasish; Chakrabarty, Kunal; Das, Mantu
    Groundwater potential remains an essential topic in the Balason river basin of West Bengal, India. Groundwater potentials can be predicted using an integrated analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approach using a GIS and remote sensing. The goal of this study is to create a groundwater potential zone (GWPZ) map for the Balason River Basin that is reliable and based on scientific evidence. In this situation, the AHP of the MCDA method is used to investigate the potential prospect zones for groundwater resources with significant parameters. To create distinctive thematic layers, USGS satellite data, 30 metre spatial resolution of Landsat 8 images and SRTM-DEM data were used. Eight primary influencing factors were selected: geomorphology, lineament density, slope, slope aspect, lithology, soil types, and land use land cover (LULC), and drainage density. The AHP method produces a GWPZ map utilizing significance scale, pair-wise comparison, signifies consistency ratio, normalized, and weighted overlay technique. The GWPZ map comprises "Very poor," "Poor," "Moderate," "Good," and "Very Good" potential zones with 9.91, 38.45, 25.49, 14.61, and 11.83% share of the overall area respectively. Finally, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the generated GWPZ map is approved. Furthermore, the best strategies will be to bring up a good level of groundwater recharge zone through water storage and sustainable land use planning. As a result, groundwater availability should be viewed as a measure of progress in the economic sector and the development of a sustainable human civilization.
