The Himalayas are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, and hence making adaptation strategies for the area to cope with the effects of climate change is crucial. These strategies should be developed and implemented with grassroots participation at local to regional levels. For informed participation, the local inhabitants need to be conscious of climate change and its implications. Hence, we explored the level of awareness among school students and their participation in actions...

Cauvery Delta Zone is present in the eastern part of Tamil Nadu, popularly known as ‘rice bowl’ of Tamil Nadu. It constitutes of about 11.1% of total area of the state. It lies between 10.00 and 11.30° N latitude and 78.15°–79.45° E longitude. Cauvery Delta Zone includes the districts of Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Perambalur and some parts of Pudhukottai and Cuddalore Districts. This zone plays a vital role not only in rice production but also in other varieties of...

High temperature makes the children uneasy during classroom activities. This study examines the effect of air temperature to children‟s cognitive performance. The school profile was determined such as: the total number of teachers, number of enrollees, land area (sq.m.), number of buildings and number of trees was determined to support the analysis of the data collected. The respondents were the Top thirty (30) Grade V pupils from public city elementary school in the Bicol Region. The...

Abstract This article discusses the pathological changes of the hearing aid in connection with the deterioration of the environmental situation around the world, presents the psychophysical features that deal with the struggle of children with hearing impairment (hard of hearing and deaf). The method of physical education in the course of classes in the wrestling section for the adaptation and harmonious physical development of hard-of-hearing children is proposed and investigated. In our...

Purpose Previous studies indicate that teachers have higher asthma prevalence than other non-industrial worker groups. Schools frequently have trouble maintaining indoor relative humidity (RH) within the optimum range (30-50%) for reducing allergens and irritants. However, the potential relationship between classroom humidity and teachers’ health has not been explored. Thus, we examined the relationship between classroom humidity levels and respiratory symptoms among North Carolina...

This paper presents a methodology for the development and implementation of Model Predictive Control (MPC) in institutional buildings. This methodology relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for model development. An appropriate control-oriented model is a critical component in MPC; model development is no easy task, and it often requires significant technical expertise, effort and time, along with a substantial amount of information. AI techniques enable rapid development and calibration of...

More than 85% of the Solomon Islands population lives in villages and communities within 1.5 km from the coast. Therefore, these communities are exposed to extreme ocean-based events, whose intensity and variation are expected to increase due to climate change. The government realizes the expected devastating impacts on the population, and has partnered with aid-donors to invest millions of dollars in climate change related programs, especially mitigation, adaptation and transformation...

Degraded urban environments disproportionately affect marginalized populations, and especially impoverished women in South Asia’s informal settlements, where climate change vulnerabilities and gender inequalities are extreme. A comparative analysis was conducted of three neighboring countries, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where urban environments, climate risks, and gender relations exhibit significant variances. With original survey data from 12 informal settlements across New Delhi,...
