When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. Discovering Monferrato with the Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato A great wine “terroir” of the world
2. Between twenty and two million years ago, huge tectonic pressures caused the rising of the Alps range. Today’s Piemonte, Northwest of Italy, is surrounded by high mountains, on the North (Swiss border), West (French border) and part of the South. Under the same huge pressures, the southern and western parts of the bottom of the sea, filling up today’s Padanian plain, rose, forming a system of hills named Piedmontese tertiary basin. These hills, whose light-coloured soils are essentially sea sediments, are one of the world’s best wine “terroir”. The Alps give Piemonte a protection against the “westerlies” (lowest rainfall in Northern Italy). Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved
3. In Piemonte the vineyards are only on the hills’ slopes, except for the north side, which is usually covered by the forest, or planted with hazelnut trees. The mountain is too cold, and the plain is too rich, to make really good wine.

9. No “monoculture” in Monferrato: meadows, fields and a lot of forests share the territory with the vineyards, providing a lovely landscape, and a great reserve of “biodiversity”.

10. Monferrato has been an independent country, between the Xth and the XVIIth centuries, ruled by the Marquises of Monferrato, till it became part of the Savoy kingdom. Many castles and old settlements witness this ancient history. The main tower of the Camino castle dates back to XIth century. Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved
11. Monferrato has quite a low annual rainfall for Northern Italy, about 700 mm (27 inches), mostly during fall and spring. The summer is usually hot and dry. But some storms, even hailstorms, can sometimes occur. There is no irrigation in the vineyards. Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved
12. Fall is maybe the nicest season in Monferrato, with clear light and colours. And it is the season to find and taste the white truffles, this being maybe the world’s main production area. The cult of good food is a substantial element of Asti and Monferrato traditions. Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved

14. The winter in Monferrato is quite mild for the latitude, the snow is uncommon, and usually not long lasting. This is the reason why, for many centuries, the shepherds from the Alps have been bringing their sheeps to graze in Monferrato in winter.

17. Barbera The Barbera grape is a late ripening one, being harvested between the end of September and mid October. The vineyard has to be controlled through canopy management and bunch thinning, to avoid possible overcropping in some years. The bunch has medium size; the berry is slightly oval shaped, very rich in sugar, rich in colour, and has a medium or low quantity of tannic compounds. The wine is fresh, dry, fruity (cherry, plum), with good acidity and no abstringent tannins. Ideal “food wine”, it matches very well with steaks, cured mead, medium aged cheeses, pasta with meat sauce, salt stored fish and many other foods. The most classic marriage: the “Bagna Cauda” Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved
18. The Southern Piedmont wine district is shared in different “terroir”: the Langhe, home of Barolo, Barbaresco and Barbera d’Alba wines, in the South-West; the Asti and Monferrato hills, in the centre; Gavi and Tortona hills in the South-East, the Monferrato Casalese in the North-Eas t. The southern hills are higher, the northern ones lower and warmer. Here, in the northern and central hills, the main vine variety is Barbera, which needs much heat for a good ripening.

20. Bagna Cauda - Olive oil and anchovies came from the Ligurian shores to Piemonte along the “salt trail”, crossing the Appennino mountains, and met the garlic to make-up the most traditional sauce for fall vegetables. Bagna cauda should be eaten very hot (the pot is continuously heated by a small fire), drinking young Barbera, and sharing it with many friends. Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved
21. Ruché The Ruchè grape is quite early ripening, being harvested about 10th of september. The vineyard has to be controlled through canopy management and bunch thinning, to avoid possible overcropping in some years. The bunch has medium to big size; the berry is very rich in sugar, medium in colour and tannic compounds, rich in terpyneol flavours (rose, violet, spices), pleasant to eat. The wine is usually dry, while other aromatic grapes in Piedmont are typically processed to have a sweet one (Moscato, Brachetto, red Malvasia of Casorzo) Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved

23. Grignolino The anarchic of Monferrato Don’t call it “pink”, “rosé” or “blush”: it’s a light red wine. It is a red wine, while it is fermented with the skins and has a good tannic structure. The color is a light, bright red, without any violet nuance. The nose is not very strong at the first impression, but quickly increases into the glass. Some typical characters: raspberry, wild rose berry, strawberry leaf, spices (white pepper, clove), almond. Every Grignolino has, anyway, its own profile, depending on the place where it is grown. In the mouth it looks much more “strong” than expected form the eye and from the nose, mostly at a final impression. The tannic fibre is tight, and the wine has often a good length, with hints of pepper and spices, and a good balance between sweetness and astringency. Luigi Veronelli, the greatest Italian wine-writer of the XXth century, defined it “anarchic”, the same definition he used to give for himself and his anti-conformist attitude: this explains very well how much he loved this wine. The main growing area of this indigenous grape is Northern Monferrato, on the left shore of the Tanaro river, with two DOC: Grignolino d’Asti (Western) and Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese (Eastern). The Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato in Vignale is located in the heart of the second area. Maurizio Gily for Enoteca Regionale del Monferrato all rights reserved

25. Freisa a grape to discover The growers plant Freisa in the medium part of the slopes, where exposure to light is still high but more water can be found in summer than at the top of the hills: in fact this grape is susceptible to drought and mould-resistant. The berry is small and the skin is thick, so that a big amount of colour and tannins are available in the must. DNA genetic studies have revealed that the grape is a close relative of the Nebbiolo (the grape used to make Barolo, Barbaresco, Ghemme etc.). In the Monferrato district Freisa is traditionally blended with other grapes during winemaking, but there is also a tradition for single grape wines, which are very intense, fruity and slightly astringent, due to the high content of tannins. The “vivace” (slightly sparkling) version is as traditional as the still version. The first is particularly recommended for serving with cured meat and fresh bread for an afternoon “merenda” (snack).

26. Malvasia di Casorzo Many Italian grapevines, both white and red, are called “Malvasia” (Malvasia di Candia, del Chianti, di Brindisi etc.) The name is supposed to come from the Greek port of Monemvasia, site for an ancient Venetian fortress and for a trading market between the West and the East. Tha Malvasia di Casorzo is a black berry grape, medium-late ripening, aromatic, usually processed with the double fermentation technique to have a sweat, aromatic, lightly sparkling wine, to serve chill, terrific to match with cakes and cookies. The “passito” (raisin wine) is the most precious version of the Malvasia wines: the grapes are dried on a straw bed to gain high sugar and aromatic concentration. Then the grapes are pressed and put to ferment for a long time, at low temperature, until the yeasts’ activity naturally stops due to the high alcohol degree. The DOC Malvasia di Casorzo is grown in a small area, at the border between the Provinces of Alessandria and Asti, into the town limits of Casorzo, Grana, Grazzano Badoglio (Asti), Vignale Monferrato, Altavilla, Ottiglio, Olivola (Alessandria).

28. THE OLD SCIENCE OF GRAPPA Good fruit gives good Grappa. The noble grape spirit has been distilled for centuries in Monferrato. Nowadays it is still made by few, little, familiar companies and it deserves to be considered among the best Grappa in Italy and in the world.
