Geostatistical Modelling of Sediment Chemistry of Ashtamudi Lake Using Gis and Study the Change During Past Several Years
Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 GEOSTATISTICAL MODELLING OF SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY OF ASHTAMUDI LAKE USING GIS AND STUDY THE CHANGE DURING PAST SEVERAL YEARS Grace K Mikhayel1, Prof .Chinnamma2 Malabar College of Engineering and Technology, Kerala Technology University, Thrissur (Dist),Kerala,India Abstract Water is valuable natural resources that essential to human survive and the ecosystems health. Water are comprises of coastal water bodies and fresh water bodies (lakes, river and groundwater). Since the past few decades, the increasing of anthropogenic activities especially in industrial area has effects to water bodies. This is the global issues which happening throughout the world and Kerala also face these problems. This study attempts to show the spatial distribution of sediment chemical parameters in the Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam and study the change during several past years. It also shows the partitioning of heavy metals in lake water. The Ashtamudi Lake is the second largest wetland ecosystem in Kerala. The lake is polluted by nearby factories, oil mills, boats, septic wastes etc. Sediment play an important role in elemental cycling in the aquatic environment and can be a sensitive indicator for monitoring contaminants in aquatic environment. GIS and remote sensing techniques can be used to make effective maps showing the effective spatial distribution of each parameters. Also sediment samples from various sample locations of Ashtamudi Lake will be collected and testing will be done accordingly. Index Term-Ashtamudi lake1, sediment sample2, sample point3, sample location4,parameters5 1.

A Modest Rejoinder from a Historian Peter Jones
Special Issue — Edited by I. Pardo and G. B. Prato Urbanities, Vol. 9 · Supplement 2 · April 2019 On Legitimacy: Multidisciplinary Reflections © 2019 Urbanities A Modest Rejoinder from a Historian Peter Jones (University of Leicester, U.K.) [email protected] It is a pleasure to participate in this debate on legitimacy. I cannot match the range of learning and scholarship that has gone into the fascinating work edited by Italo Pardo and Giuliana B. Prato (2019); and, therefore, I have concentrated on Giuliana Prato’s illuminating chapter ‘On the Legitimacy of Democratic Representation: Two case studies from Europe’ (2019), which takes a ‘turning point’ in European history: the post-1989 collapse of the Soviet Union and its client state empire in Eastern Europe. The collapse represented a crisis of legitimacy not only of the Soviet Empire as a political entity but also a crisis for the revolutionary ideology of Marxism and the various Communist Parties of Western Europe and, especially, in Italy. We are probably familiar with Francis Fukuyama’s, The End of History and the Last Man (1992) which suggested that the fall of the Berlin Wall marked a final stage in the evolution of liberal democracy and the ‘end point of mankind’s [sic] ideological evolution’ (see also Fukuyama (1989). Such optimism now seems hollow as even Western European states struggle to eliminate corruption and electorates have in some states turned to populist-nationalist political programmes. In this sense, however, Giuliana Prato’s fieldwork illustrates that the processes of change are more complex and drawn-out than the political headlines of the journalist and even sometimes of historians and political scientists. -
