  • ADJUSTED ACADEMIC CALENDAR for LOWER PRIMARY LEVEL Govt of Meghalaya 2020-21
    ADJUSTED ACADEMIC CALENDAR FOR LOWER PRIMARY LEVEL Govt of Meghalaya 2020-21 Directorate of Educational Research and Training (DERT), Education Department ADJUSTED ACADEMIC CALENDAR FOR THE LOWER PRIMARY STAGE CLASSES 1 - 5 Directorate of Educational Research and Training Arbuthnot Road, Nongrimmaw, Laitumkhrah, Shillong, Meghalaya 793011 i Foreword The State of Meghalaya has been facing tremendous challenges due to the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in the closure of all educational institutions. This has led to learning losses among learners especially in the rural pockets of the State. As a result, the Education Department has given utmost priority to the two most vulnerable age groups namely, children at elementary level, where learning loss can limit educational progress most and learners transitioning from upper primary to secondary education. To ensure continuous and minimum levels learning, the Directorate of Educational research & Training (DERT) developed the Adjusted Academic Calendar (AAC) for Classes I – V in close consultation with schoolteachers. The rationalised Academic Calendar is to be implemented in all MBOSE affiliated schools of Meghalaya for the session 2020-21. The AAC has been worked out around the Learning Outcomes (LOs) developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi in 2017 and coded by the DERT in 2020. It is to be noted that the Learning Outcomes are now mandatory in the teaching- learning process in all schools with the amendment of the Meghalaya RTE Act 2009 State Rules of the State and notification No.EDN/RTE- 196/2012/182 dt. August 3, 2020. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) comprising of schoolteachers from 20 schools drawn from different districts of the state were involved in the mapping of the Learning Outcomes in different subjects areas for classes 1 to 8 with a focus on foundational literacy and numeracy.

It is an electronic journal, distributed freely by Pacific Linguistics (www.pacling.com) and the JSEALS website (jseals.org). JSEALS was formally established by decision of the SEALS 17 meeting, held at the University of Maryland in September 2007. It supersedes the Conference Proceedings, previously published by Arizona State University and later by Pacific Linguistics. JSEALS welcomes articles that are topical, focused on linguistic (as opposed to cultural or anthropological) issues, and which further the lively debate that characterizes the annual SEALS conferences. Although we expect in practice that most JSEALS articles will have been presented and discussed at the SEALS conference, submission is open to all regardless of their participation in SEALS meetings. Papers are expected to be written in English. Each paper is reviewed by at least two scholars, usually a member of the Advisory Board and one or more independent readers. Reviewers are volunteers, and we are grateful for their assistance in ensuring the quality of this publication. As an additional service we also admit data papers, reports and notes, subject to an internal review process.

  • Statistical Application for the Analysis of Traffic Congestion and Its Impact
    7th Int. Conf. on Data Science & SDGs EC - 016 December 18-19, 2019, pp 103-119 Dept. of Statistics, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh Statistical Application for the Analysis of Traffic Congestion and Its Impact in a Hill City Utpal Kumar De1; Gitumoni Rajbongshi2 1Department of Economics, North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, 793022, Meghalaya, India, Email: [email protected] Ph: +91-9436102066 2Department of Economics, North Eastern Hill University,Shillong, 793022, Meghalaya, India Email: [email protected] ,Ph: 91-8787448383 Abstract: Traffic congestion has been a severe problem of any growing urban area in the world that imposes drastic economic and social cost on the urban population. The livelihood activity and welfare are highly associated with the traffic flow pattern in the city. Over the years, with rising affluence, number of vehicles has increased disproportionately with road length and space. In East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, road length increased from 1696 KM in 2001 to merely 2050 KM in 2015, i.e., by 20.87 per cent. However, number of vehicles during the same period increased from 34996 to 137753, i.e., by 293.63 per cent. The problem is more acute in the hilly areas like Shillong due to scarcity of land space to enhance road width, hill topography and curvature along with difficulty and huge cost of construction. Steep hill slops and narrow space with rising vehicles in the peak hours block speedy movement of people, when there is an urgent need. However, congestion varies across space and time of the day. It depends on topography of road, activity pattern and timing of vehicle use, locational pattern of institutions across length and breadth of the city.

  • Regional, Seasonal, and Diurnal Variations of Extreme Convection in the South Asian Region
    15 JANUARY 2010 R O M A T S C H K E E T A L . 419 Regional, Seasonal, and Diurnal Variations of Extreme Convection in the South Asian Region ULRIKE ROMATSCHKE University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, and University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria SOCORRO MEDINA AND ROBERT A. HOUZE JR. University of Washington, Seattle, Washington (Manuscript received 17 March 2009, in final form 2 July 2009) ABSTRACT Temporal and spatial variations of convection in South Asia are analyzed using eight years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data and NCEP reanalysis fields. To identify the most extreme convective features, three types of radar echo structures are defined: deep convective cores (contiguous 3D convective echo $40 dBZ extending $10 km in height) represent the most vertically pen- etrative convection, wide convective cores (contiguous convective $40 dBZ echo over a horizontal area $1000 km2) indicate wide regions of intense multicellular convection, and broad stratiform regions (strati- form echo contiguous over an area $50 000 km2) mark the mesoscale convective systems that have de- veloped the most robust stratiform regions. The preferred locations of deep convective cores change markedly from India’s east coast in the pre- monsoon to the western Himalayan foothills in the monsoon. They form preferentially in the evening and over land as near-surface moist flow is capped by dry air aloft. Continental wide convective cores show a similar behavior with an additional nocturnal peak during the monsoon along the Himalayan foothills that is associated with convergence of downslope flow from the Himalayas with moist monsoonal winds at the foothills.
