Surviving texts were written between the mid-seventeenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries. By examining the plots of Dharma Ma2gal, I hope to describe features of a precolonial Bengali warriors” culture. I argue that Dharma Ma2gal texts describe the career of a hero and raja, and that their narratives seem to be designed both to inculcate a version of warrior culture in Bengal, and to contain it by requiring self-sacrifice in both battle and “truth ordeals.” Dharma Ma2gal *I thank Ralph W.

Ho Chi Minh City has experienced increased intensity and frequency of climate change-induced urban floods, causing socio-economic damage that disturbs their livelihoods while urban populations continue to grow. This study aims to establish a citywide flood risk map to inform risk management in the city and address climate justice locally. This study applied a flood risk assessment framework integrating a coupled nature–human approach and examined the spatial distribution of urban flood hazard and urban flood vulnerability. A flood hazard map was generated using selected morphological and hydro-meteorological indicators.

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 12, Issue 2, February-2021 579 ISSN 2229-5518 Dynamics of Land Use /Land Cover changes and Its Impact on Land Surface Temperature in The Keleghai River Basin, West Bengal, India: A Remote Sensing Approaches. Mr. Goutam Kumar Das M.Phil. Student of Department of Earth Science, Vidyasagar University, Medinipur, W.B, India Abstract: Land surface temperature is an important factor to play and change that estimate radiation budget and control the heat balance at the earth’s surface. Rapid population growth and changing the existing patterns of Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) globally, which is consequently increasing the land surface temperature (LST). The transformation of LU/LC due to rapid Built-up land expansion significantly affects the functions of Biodiversity and ecosystems as well as local and regional climates. This study evaluates the impact of LU/LC changes on LST for 2000, 2010 and 2020 in the keleghai River Basin using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat-7 TM and Landsat-8 OLI satellite data sets. Our results indicated that, Built-up area and Brick kiln area were 1070.06 km2 and 46.18 km2 and decreased water bodies, agricultural land, agricultural fallow land and scrub land are 1382.13 km2, 4196.14 km2, 1529.95 km2 and 24.59 km2 respectively in the last 20 year in the study area. The distribution of changes in LST shows the Built-up area and Brick kiln area recorded the highest mean temperature and increased 26.72oC – 40.34oC and 29.28oC – 41.34oC respectively.

NDWI is widely and effectively used in identifying and visualizing surface water distribution based on satellite imagery. Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI TIRS images of pre and post-monsoon (2002, 2019) have been used. The main objective of this study is to detect the seasonal variation of waterlogging in Rangpur City Corporation (RPCC) in 2002 and 2019. In the present study, we used an integrated procedure by using ArcGIS raster analysis. For pre and post-monsoon, almost 93% accuracy was obtained from image analysis. Results show that in 2002 during the pre and post-monsoon period, waterlogged areas were about 159.58 km2 and 32.32 km2, respectively, wherein in 2019, the changes in waterlogged areas are reversed than 2002. In 2019, during pre-monsoon, waterlogged area areas were 122.79 km2, and during post-monsoon, it increased to 127.05 km2.
