Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher born in 1588 who is most famous for his work Leviathan, which outlines his social contract theory. He believed that without government, humans live in a primitive "state of nature" where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Hobbes argued that rational individuals consent to a social contract and civil authority to escape this state for the safety and stability of society. He died in 1679 after suffering from a bladder disorder and stroke.

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
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

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.

This month’s safety topic is travel safety. Many of us at UCOP are required to travel as part of our job. Also July and August are the months where the majority of employees take vacation. This training is meant to help each of you have a safe trip. Regardless if its business-related or personal vacation.
What are the primary hazards while traveling? The first type are accidents related to transportation…..primarily airline or motor vehicle accidents. The second type of hazard is being a victim of a crime, such as assaults, robbery, pick pockets, or thief. The next type of hazard is hotel or motel fires The last type of hazard is ergonomics. Lifting heavy luggage which would result in potential back or arm injuries
A stress-free trip could be avoided with organized pre-planning. In the event you lose you wallet or purse you could lose valuable documents you will need to get replacements so you should photocopy your credit cards, ticket, health insurance, passport, and other important documents along with the phone numbers to call to get replacements. These phone numbers are typically found on the back of your credit cards A travel itinerary is important, especially if traveling alone – Leave your itinerary with family members or your office. Map Out Directions. The worst thing to do is arrive in a strange city at night and not know where to go. Plan your travel route from the airport to your hotel or the meeting location ahead of time. Keep the map in your carry-on luggage in case your check-in luggage gets lost
When you reserve your hotel, how do you know if your hotel is equipped with automatic fire sprinklers? The federal government requires their employees to stay in hotels or motels which are sprinklered. You can go to the FEMA webpage and check to see if the hotel you want to stay at is sprinklered. If your trip is overseas, there are several safety/security precautions which you should be aware of. The U.S. State Department has a website for people traveling overseas. This is the webpage link to their safety tips. Another part of pre-planning is having emergency phone numbers. Your physician, family members and even the local police. If you are traveling to a city with a cell phone you can call the local police department and ask them for an equivalent 911 number. You can then program that phone number into you cell phone in the event of an emergency. If you do not have the equivalent phone number and 911 on your cell phone, you will get the CHP dispatcher. You would then need to inform the CHP dispatcher which city police/fire you want. Lastly, we all have heard of horror stories from people who fly on airlines and they lose their checked luggage or have their luggage end up in another city and not get their luggage until the next day. So part of the pre-planning would be to pack some of your essential items in your carry-on luggage.
As we previously mentioned, carrying luggage has the potential to create back, arm, and even shoulder injuries. If you have a lot of items to pack, use luggage which have wheels. As discussed in last month’s safety training, there is a recommended “safe” weight for lifting. For males, the weight of the luggage should be kept below 50 pounds and for females, the weight of the luggage should be kept below 45 pounds. When you load and unload luggage into and out of the trunk of your automobile, use care and caution. Your back will probably be in an “extended” position which can potentially increase the possibility of injuring your lower back. If you are traveling with you laptop computer, it should be carried in a laptop case which has wide padded shoulder straps. You should periodically alternate carrying the case to both shoulders. Also to lighten the load, put the accessories and extra batteries in the suitcase rather than carrying them in the laptop case.
The next area we’ll discuss is safety on the airplane. When you find your seat on the airplane you should plan what you would do in the event of an accident. How would you escape from the airplane? Airline crash statistics show that of the persons who survive an airplane crash, the highest rate of fatalities is due to smoke inhalation. You should know the location of the two nearest emergency exits from your seat on the airplane. Following a crash, visibility on the airplane may be poor, so you should count the number of rows from your seat to the nearest emergency exit in front of you and also the number of rows to the nearest emergency exit behind you. You want the two nearest exits in case your path to the nearest emergency exit is blocked. It is important to listen to the safety briefing which the flight attendants cover at the beginning of the flight. In the event of an crash, accident, or incident, listen and follow the flight attendant’s instructions.
When you arrive at your travel destination, you may be renting a car. Here are some safety recommendations to minimize your chances of being a victim of robbery, assault, or car jacking. 1)First, rent a vehicle from a rental car company which does not have the rental car company’s logo on the vehicle. If you have the logo, it is advertising to robbers or car thieves that you are from out of town and therefore more vulnerable. 2)Second, keep your luggage in the trunk while driving around. If you have visible luggage in the back seat of the vehicle, you will also be drawing attention to your vehicle. 3)Third, become familiar with all the features of your rental car before you drive away from the rental car lot. We’re referring to items such as the headlights, hazard lights, door locks, and windshield wipers. If you are not familiar with how to operate some of these safety features and you attempt to use them while driving, you will become distracted and that will increase the probability of getting into an accident. 4)Fourth, be wary of pulling over in a dark unfamiliar area. If you need to exit your car, drive to a well populated area such as a shopping center, supermarket, or gas station before you exit you vehicle. Never stray off to side streets. Stay on the main roads.
More on rental car safety. Always keep your doors locked while traveling. Criminals sometimes may try to enter your car while you’re stopped at a stop light. Be wary of pulling over if someone is waving at you. Robbers and carjackers spot out of town visitors and one ploy they use is to try to get the out of town visitor to pull over by waving at you or flashing their headlights at you claiming there is something wrong with you car (flat tire, headlights not working, or even claim that they are in need of aid). Once they get you to pull over, you are an easy victim. Drive to one of the populated areas we talked about in the previous slide. You may not want to exit your vehicle if the car is following you. You should call the police. Remember, in California, 911 on cell phones will not get you to the CHP police so you may need to tell the 911 CHP operator what City Police Department you want.
Our next topic is hotel safety. When selecting a hotel, safety features you should look for are rooms with electronic locks, deadbolt locks, and peepholes. The hotel should have their garage elevators go to the lobby, and a separate elevator going to the guest floors. This will prevent criminals from sneaking onto the guest floor rooms. If you are entering an elevator and the other person looks suspicious….be cautious and wait for the next elevator. When requesting a room in a high rise hotel, be aware that in the event of a fire, the ladders on the fire trucks can only reach floor 6 and below.
Other general hotel safety recommendations: Keep valuables in the hotel or room safe. Use the peep hole before you open the door. If the person claims to be affiliated with the hotel for a non-solicited service, call the front desk before you open the door. Make it a habit to deadbolt the door each time you enter the room. When you leave the room in the morning…putting the “Make-Up Room” sign on the door advertises to potential burglars that no one is in the room. If you are in a city which you are not familiar with…inquire with the hotel staff as to the “safe” and “unsafe” areas.
First Entry – Can Have the Bell Hop first enter room. If you are by yourself…hold the door open, turn on the light, and visually scan the room to make sure no one else is in the room. You should be aware of where the emergency exits are located. Look at the floor layout on the back of the front door of the room to find out where are the locations of the two nearest emergency exits. Go out to the hallway and count the number of doors between your room and the nearest emergency exit. In the event your primary exit is blocked you should do the same for and count the number of doors between your room and the secondary emergency exit. You need to count the number of doors because in event of a fire you may not be able to see the exit sign due to smoke so you will be crawling on the floor to get to the emergency exits. That’s why you need to count the number of doors. You should check the emergency exit doors and make sure they are not locked. If the emergency exit doors are locked, notify the hotel manager ASAP. In the event of an emergency, be prepare to leave room immediately, so you should keep all essential Items you need nearby on the nightstand to grab and leave. A small travel flashlight may come in handly in the event of a power failure.
The next topic is hotel and motel fires. Past major fatalities at hotels and motels: 1980: MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas – 85 Fatalities 2004: Comfort Inn, Greenville, SC – 6 Fatalities & 6 Critically Injured 1997: Hacienda Plaza Inn, Thornton, CO – 5 Fatalities The majority of the fatalities at these fires were due to smoke inhalation. This graph show the causes of these fires. As you can see, the majority of these fires are actually tied to the hotel or motel restaurant.
In the United States, there are more than 4000 hotels/motel fires per year. That equals to more than 10 per day. Pre-planning is important. It may save your life. In the event of a fire, you should take essential items which are immediately nearby (cell phone, wallet, room key and a flashlight). If you are traveling with family. Designate a meeting location in case you get separated during your evacuation. If the fire is outside your room, you must feel the door to determine if it is hot. Use the backside of you hand because if door is hot….you do not want to burn your palm. It would make it difficult to open the door with a burned palm.
This slide we will discuss what to do if the door is hot. If hot….Do not open the door! Stay put in you room. Call the Fire Department and tell them your exact location. You may want to put a signal in the window like a towel or a bed sheet so they can pinpoint your exact location. Fill your tub with water. Wet towels or sheets and put them around the cracks in the door or any air vents to keep the smoke from entering your room. To filter out smoke you should wet a towel and tie it to cover your nose and mouth. To avoid smoke from entering you room turn off the fan and air conditioner system. If smoke gets into you room, cautiously open the windows. Be aware that heavier smoke from the outside may be drawn into your room, so be prepared to close your windows. If your room is higher than the second floor – Do not jump. People who jump from the third floor and above typically sustain injuries which are fatal. Wait in you room to be rescued by the fire department.
For this slide we will discuss what to do if the door is not hot and you will be attempting to leave the hotel via the emergency exits. If the door is not hot, slowly open to door. If flames shoot back at you, close the door. If you are able to open to door, check to see if the hallway is clear of flames. If clear, get on your knees and crawl towards the emergency exit. You want to crawl because smoke and products of combustion will rise and the fresh air will be near the floor. Before you start to crawl make sure you have your room key with you and lock the door. You want your room key and the door locked in case you cannot escape and so you will have a place to return to. Remember as part of the preparation, you should be aware of the number of doors to pass by till you reach the emergency exit. Never use the elevator! When you reach the emergency exit, cautiously use the exit stairwell. If you encounter heavy smoke, turn around and try the secondary emergency exit. If you go down the stairwell and encounter heavy smoke, you may need to exit on another floor and try to use the secondary stairway exit on that floor. When you make it down, if traveling with family or other co-workers, meet at your designated spot.
The next couple of slides we’ll discuss some general safety precautions you should take while traveling: 1)First, avoid or be aware of being drawn into staged mishaps. These are meant to divert your attention while the criminal could pick pocket you, steal an item, or just draw you into a situation where they can rob or assault you. 2) Second, be aware of your surroundings. If you are knowledgeable about where you are, and what is going on, your chances of being a victim of a crime is greatly reduced. 3)Third, keep your valuables secured. Do not leave valuable items out in the open in you hotel room. While walking in areas where there are crowds, men should not keep their wallets in their back pockets. Keep your wallet in the front pockets to avoid pick pockets. Women should keep their purses closed and hold the purse under their arms rather than the straps. Backpack and fanny packs are easy for targets for pick pockets. 4)Fourth, there are safety in numbers. So if possible, travel in groups. 5)Fifth, if you are in a situation where you feel uncomfortable, ask the business or the hotel staff for an escort to your car or to an area where you would feel safe to proceed.
Sixth, do not draw attention to yourself with flashy clothing or expensive jewelry. Also, avoid looking at maps or tour guides out in the open like a tourist. If necessary, you can wrap your map or tour book in a newspaper so you would blend in more with the local crowd. Finally, use the ATMs during the day in areas and locations where there are people around to avoid being a robbery victim.
