This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent research on estuaries of the east coast of India, and how changing biogeochemical dynamics as a result of climate change and human activity have impacted estuaries and other open water ecosystems. Though estuaries only cover a very small portion of the earth's hydrosphere, they are some of the most biogeochemically active regions among the global water bodies. As such, this book focuses on estuaries of the east coast of India going all the way to the Bay of Bengal, which is the world's largest freshwater input from perennial rivers and rain-fed estuaries, and is therefore a unique area of study. Through its unique coverage of the Bay of Bengal in particular, the book presents a new perspective not present in the literature on estuary biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics. Moreover, the book addresses SDG 13 (Climate Action) and 14 (Life below Water), with a focus on ecosystem services of the natural aquatic system.The book will be useful to researchers, policy makers, coastal managers and marine sustainability scientists and organizations.

This book presents and discusses recent developments in the broad field of spectroscopy, providing the reader with an updated overview. The main objective is to introduce them to recent innovations and current trends in spectroscopy applied to molecules and materials. The book also brings together experimentalists and theoreticians to highlight the multidimensional aspects of spectroscopy and discuss the latest issues. Accordingly, it provides insights not only into the general goals of spectroscopy, but also into how the various spectroscopic techniques represent a toolbox that can be used to gain a more detailed understanding of molecular systems and complex chemical problems. Besides technical aspects, basic theoretical interpretations of spectroscopic results are also presented. The spectroscopy techniques discussed include UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, IR absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and time-resolved spectroscopy. In turn, basic tools like lasers and theoretical modeling approaches are also presented. Lastly, applications for the characterization of fundamental properties of molecules (environmental aspects, biomolecules, pharmaceutical drugs, hazardous molecules, etc.) and materials (nanomaterials, nuclear chemistry materials, biomaterials, etc.) are discussed. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers from various branches of science, and presents new techniques that can be applied to their specific problems.
This book collects original peer-reviewed contributions presented at the "International Conference on Mathematical Analysis and Applications (MAA 2020)" organized by the Department of Mathematics, National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur, India, from 2–4 November 2020. This book presents peer-reviewed research and survey papers in mathematical analysis that cover a broad range of areas including approximation theory, operator theory, fixed-point theory, function spaces, complex analysis, geometric and univalent function theory, control theory, fractional calculus, special functions, operation research, theory of inequalities, equilibrium problem, Fourier and wavelet analysis, mathematical physics, graph theory, stochastic orders and numerical analysis. Some chapters of the book discuss the applications to real-life situations. This book will be of value to researchers and students associated with the field of pure and applied mathematics.
This book gives an overview of various aspects of blue carbon dynamics from each country bordering the Indian Ocean. Given the importance of the topic of blue carbon, it can be assumed that in near future, more and more researchers from the Indian Ocean countries will pursue environmental research in this domain. This book is a ready reference to all those who are interested to have a holistic understanding about the ground scenario of blue carbon in the Indian Ocean. There are many research institutes situated in the periphery of the Indian Ocean that are devoted to nurturing the new avenues of marine carbon research. Researchers and scholars interested in this domain will find this book provides a good overview, wherein all the necessary information on the status and functioning of these blue carbon ecosystems are detailed in a concise way. The book is also helpful to postgraduate students of ‘marine science’ or those who have a specialization in ‘marine biogeochemistry’ or ‘chemical oceanography’ to develop a basic understanding about the very concept of ‘blue carbon’ from the perspective of the Indian Ocean.
This book aims to give a holistic overview of the pond ecosystem of Indian Sundarbans. Due to climate change, the Indian Sundarbans faces several challenges. With rising sea levels, islands are disappearing and the increasing salinity in the water and soil has severely threatened the health of mangrove forests and the quality of fresh water, soil and crops. Additionally, there have been serious disturbances to hydrological parameters in the lotic as well lentic ecosystems. This book provides new insights into lentic ecosystem-oriented research in the deltaic ecosystem of GBM-I (Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Indian Delta). The major findings from various research works are brought together, and the gaps and future possible ways forward are outlined. The book addresses the SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life below Water), with a focus on the ecosystem services of ponds in the Indian Sundarbans. Despite there being many studies on riverine water, ground water and mangrove ecosystems of the Indian Sundarbans, this book offers new insights into the pond ecosystem of the Indian Sundarbans. The outcomes from this book can be utilized by researchers from the inland fisheries sector, environmental managers, professionals, and those who seek to develop ways for making pond ecosystems sustainable.

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries for trafficking in South Asia because of its large population, large-scale rural-urban migration, the large population living in conditions of chronic poverty, and recurrent natural disasters. Women are sold, traded, and exchanged for sexual slavery and prostitution, and bonded labor across borders, such as from Bangladesh to India, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Trafficking, this is a serious problem and is considered a violation of human rights. For this reason, current study examined the post trafficking living situation picture under the aegis of different parameter. Furthermore, in order to get possible solution for these inhuman activities, the study took into victim's opinion on different grounds as well.
Over the last few decades assessment of world sanitation status as well as its adverse consequences of poor sanitation on human life from different corners of the world, at heart it can be recognized by all walks of life the true significance of practicing sustainable sanitation in life. Therefore, in order to give proper importance of sanitation accessibility to all and terrific risk factors both for human beings as well as environment, the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) sets the target of halving the percentage of people without safe water and basic sanitation by the year 2015, and now a biggest national priority for Bangladesh as well. And this work provides well and truly a field base scenario of sanitation status and it's not half impact under different perspectives on slum dwellers in Khulna city, Bangladesh and elaborately pictorial appraisal of ongoing and past sanitation management interventions. Furthermore, this study recommends chalking out and planning of fail-safe fundamental sustainable sanitation aspects prior or at the designing stage of the management in consultation as well as direct participation of the focus community "Slum dweller."
