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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Components of an effective methodology include defining objectives and KPIs, audience analysis, identifying opportunities, and evaluating resources. The document concludes with recommendations around creating a content plan, testing and optimizing content over 90 days.
How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Maples can be distinguished by leaf characteristics, the spread of their samaras, and the shape of their buds.
One of the most common street trees in the U.S. Leaf sinuses toothed, samaras at a 60 degree angle – bark smooth when young becoming furrowed or scaly with age
Leaf sinuses rounded, samaras at a 90 degree angle, twigs foul odor when scratched, bark scaly with narrow fissures- red orange tint between bark fissures
Hybrid between A. rubrum and A. saccharinum – more tolerant than red maple to alkaline soils – many cultivars- Autumn Blaze most common
Lateral buds smaller than terminal bud; flowers perfect, yellowish green, samaras at a 60 degree angle, buds remain green in winter; bark is scaly flaking to reveal orange brown inner bark.
Medium size tree good for street tree use – beautiful display of golden yellow flowers (some with red centers) that can be seen from a distance – give way to inflated papery capsules which hold the seed – pale green turn brown in fall. Twigs somewhat zig zag – no terminal bud, leaf scar is shield-shaped.
Use the buds for ID – no true terminal – lateral buds are long and conical. Alternate arrangement on stems – twigs zig zag. Sycamore twigs zigzag from bud to bud. The buds form underneath the petioles (leaf stems) during the growing season and don’t appear until the leaves fall off. Each bud is encased in a single scale and surrounded by the leaf scar.
Hybrid of P. orientalis and P. occidentalis. Similar in appearance to American sycamore except more prominent bark – peels to reveal green bark beneath and fruit (aggregates) appear usually in pairs.
Leaves are opposite – simple or compound. Flowers in cymes are bisexual./
Leaves oppositely attached, cordate in shape, pubescent on lower side. Twigs may be pubescent, with large lenticels and long oval leaf scars with depressed centers and bundle scars in rings. Buds are tiny and brown at the top of leaf scars. Fruits are pods up to 20 inches long.
Often called umbrella tree – pink/purple flowers. C. bignonioides ‘Nana’ often confused for C. bungei. It is a dwarf bushy form grafted on a standard to produce a mushroom or globe form. It rarely if ever flowers.
Intergeneric hybrid between Chilopsis linearis (desert willow) and Catalpa bignonioides. Small, multi-trunked tree. Both in the same family – Bignoniaceae.
Leaves are usually opposite, simple or pinnately compound. Flowers have two stamens which is unusual to woody plants of the U.S.
Twigs are rounded, glossy, and gray-green to brown with a glaucous covering. Leaf scars are U-shaped with C-shaped arrangement of bundle scars. Buds are dark brown to black to somewhat rusty. Buds are within leaf scars. ‘Autumn Purple’ is a common cultivar.
Twigs are rounded, sometimes very pubescent, and have vascular bundles that form closed C shapes in leaf scars that aren’t notched. Buds are reddish brown and set above scars of leaves. Buds are smaller than those of F. americana. Leaflets narrower than those of F. americana. Patmore predominantly male.
Leaves opposite, but often whorls of 3 or 4 at ends of branches, pinnately compound, 7-9 narrow leaflets, each 4-6.5 cm long, clean-looking, dark green, good fall color (rich red-purple), but variable. More or less a male clone, hence very few seed produced.
Leaves alternate, usually compound. Many have stipules that may be modified to thorns. Fruits are pods.
Valued for their dappled shade. Twigs zig zag with glabrous swollen nodes – reddish to greenish brown, small buds in groups. Fruit pods, often twisted 7 to 8 inches. Short trunk with open spreading crown. Leaves pinnate or bipinnately compound.
Leaves pinnately compound with up to 19 leaflets, 2 inches long. Thorns are short spines in young plants. Inflorescence raceme, very fragrant.
Leaves huge, 3 feet long, 2 feet wide. Twigs greenish brown with large heart-shaped leaf scars – but tiny buds. Pods thick and leathery, 6 inches to 10 inches long.
Leaves alternately arranged and simple. Veins are pinnate. Plants generally monoecious. Flowers are catkins. Fruits are nuts (acorns).
Twigs yellowish brown and often corky after one year. Buds ¼ inch long, imbricate (scales overlapping), pubescent, and with stipule like appendages. Bark thick and deeply furrowed. Drought tolerant. Leaves almost 10 inches long.
Oaks hold onto their leaves in winter when young. Nut narrow, elongated, 1/3 covered by cap. Leaves to 5 inches long.
Leaves simple and alternate, palmately veined. Flowers in axillary clusters but may be reduced to a single flower.
Valued for its strong central leader and uniform branching habit but narrow branch angles. Leaves 3 inches long.
Twigs are zig-zag and glaucous, glabrous, and brown or greenish red. No terminal bud. Tear-drop shape lateral buds.
Small tree or large shrub. Flowers perfect, fruit a dehiscent (bursting or splitting open at maturity) capsule. Leaves palmately veined.
Leaves of most species alternately arranged. Flowers bisexual with flowers parts in 4’s or 5’s; 5 or more stamens which adds to ornamental appeal.
Evergreen, fast prostrate growth to 8 inches high, 10 feet wide. Branches root along the ground. Flowers white with spreading petals (dammeri). Horizontalis is deciduous with attractive herringbone branch pattern. Leaves are small and roundish, flowers pink with upright petals. Plant is 2-3 feet tall and 15 feet wide. Fine bank cover or low traffic barrier.
Buds gray and divergent; flower clusters in umbels (all the pedicels arise at the apex of the axis) 2 inches across. There are two types of Spirea – the bridal wreath type with clusters of white flowers cascading down arching branches in spring or early summer and the shrubby type with pink, red or white flowers clustered at branch ends in summer to fall.
Flowers in corymbs – a racemose inflorescence in which the lower pedicels are longer than the upper so that the flowers lie as a dome or dish, and the outline is roundish or flattish. ‘Limemound’ is another cultivar.
See slide for description
Clusters of small flowers in small cymes (each axis ends in a flower, the oldest flowers in the center) top upper parts of stems. Dark Knight and Longwood Blue are popular cultivars.
Leaves are alternate, simple or pinnately compound, sometimes evergreen on spiny twigs
Twigs with thin spine single at a node, grooved and reddish brown. Buds are tiny and ovoid on short spurs. Flowers yellow – single or in umbels
Simple leaves –opposite or alternate; flowers bisexual found in cymes or fascicles
Leaves simple and opposite or alternate. Flowers are tiny, in a cyme. Arils aid seed dispersal by drawing attention to the seed. Buds diverge through wings, conical, imbricate.
Ground cover or vining, leaf veins yellow. Buds tiny in lateral positions, larger and greenish in terminal.
Flowers have bilateral symmetry.
Leaves oppositely attached, deciduous – blooms on new growth, which is fast and rank. Flowers fragrant in spike like clusters. Cut back before spring growth begins.
Simple leaves, oppositely arranged; flowers in cymes bisexual
Upright shrub forming dense twiggy mass. Opposite leaf arrangement. Twigs greenish-brown, glabrous, with brown pith, buds flattened, appressed, glabrous, and with valvate lower scales.
The Adoxaceae are a small family of flowering plants in the order Dipsacales, as now constituted comprising four genera and about 150-200 species. They are characterised by opposite toothed leaves, small five- or, more rarely, four-petalled flowers in cymose inflorescences, and the fruit being a drupe. They are thus similar to many Cornaceae.
Leaves oppositely arranged; flowers in flat-topped cymes
Branches and fascicles are opposite or whorled. Leaves are linear and needle like. Mostly evergreen. Male flowers are in herbaceous cones; female flowers are in woody cones with spirally arranged scales. Seeds are winged/
Needles two per fascicle. To 5 inches, stiff and slightly curved. Thick and sharp, margins with tiny teeth. Twigs are rough, yellowish brown and ridged. Buds 1 inche resinous and sharply pointed. Cones are yellowish brown, ovoid to 3 inches, keeled, apex with prickle. Narrowly pyramidal in youth, then broad, low-branched, flat-topped. Bark furrows dark brown, ridges gray, white or grayish brown.
Weakly pyramidal in youth, then high-branched, open, broad. Two needles per fascicle, stiff, twisted, 3 inches long. Sheaths ¼ inch. Twigs green first year, dull yellowish brown second year, prominent leaf scars, buds reddish brown, to ½ inch pointed scales lanceolate and fringed. Upper bark exfoliating in thin flakes (orange-brown), lower in fissured plates (grayish or reddish brown lower). Cones solitary or two to three together. Rounded apex to 3 inches dull grayish brown.
Needles in 3’s or 2’s – persist for 3 years – 5 to 10 inches long, curved; point is sharp; stems have the odor of vanilla or turpentine when bruised. Cones in groups of three or five. To 6 inches long. Scales end with prickles. Three needles (sometimes 2) per fascicle, curved, tiny teeth on margin, 3 to 11 inches long. Persistent basal sheath. Bark flat scaly plates when old. Dark brown (young), golden brown (with age).
Trees or shrubs – evergreen leaves – scale-like or awl-shaped needle- generally appressed to the branch. Cones like berries or woody.
Intergeneric hybrid between Cupressus macrocarpa and Chamaecyparis nootkatensis. Fast growing. Long slender upright branches with flattened gray green foliage sprays give youthful trees a nqrrow, pyramidal form. Produces small cones comprised of scales. May wind burn in winter.
Tiny scale like leaves that are closely set on cordlike branches and bear interesting globular, golf ball size cones made up of sheild shaped scales. Needs little pruning.
Four ranked opposite pairs of leaves. Dioecious. Fruit light blue glaucous cones. Upright tree and shrub types available. Can be sheared but better selectively pruned to inward facing buds to achieve a “hedged” appearance. Sheared plants subject to winter burn and dessication.
Branchlets are flat and alternately arranged – occidentalis in “sprays”, orientalis in a vertical plane. Cones yellowish at first and brown when ripe – oblong.
