Rethinking Poverty Indices: Unveiling The Unseen Realities Of India, Soumyabrata Mondal, Anand Prasad Mishra
Rethinking Poverty Indices: Unveiling The Unseen Realities Of India, Soumyabrata Mondal, Anand Prasad Mishra
The Geographical Bulletin
This article critically assesses India’s recent claims of rapid poverty reduction by examining the methodological, political, and data-related foundations of the Niti Aayog Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). It scrutinises key methodological choices such as indicator selection, weighting structures, and the dependence on NFHS (National Family Health Survey) data which only partially reflect the socioeconomic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on debates surrounding the Alkire–Foster framework, the essay highlights how modifications to the MPI such as the inclusion of widely achieved indicators and the exclusion of consumption expenditure may underestimate deprivation and produce overly optimistic trends. It argues that …

Discussing Discus: Exploring Coaching Interactions In A Throws Training Environment, Alexandra Baltazar Hall
Discussing Discus: Exploring Coaching Interactions In A Throws Training Environment, Alexandra Baltazar Hall
Student Research Symposium (SRS)
The literature on sport coaching has predominantly employed deductive and qualitative approaches to the study of pre-defined coach behaviours, and athlete self-reported perceptions of coaching communication. These methods overlook the inherently contextual and interactional nature of coaching, where the effective communication of sport-specific feedback and technical corrections are key to improving athletic ability. This study employs Discursive Psychology (DP) and Conversation Analysis (CA) to the inductive exploration of coaching interactions and practices in an indoor throws training environment, with a group of discus throwers. Audio-visual recordings of a training session were analysed using CA, and transcribed with Jefferson (2012) and …

Mapping The Socioeconomic Impact Of Hurricane Ian, Jordan Rezende De Lucia
Mapping The Socioeconomic Impact Of Hurricane Ian, Jordan Rezende De Lucia
Student Research Symposium (SRS)
How do natural disasters impact different socioeconomic portions of society, and what spatial patterns emerge in disaster vulnerability, economic recovery, and aid distribution? Natural disasters aren’t felt equally by everyone. This study aims to take a closer look at how pre-existing socioeconomic conditions shape the way different communities are affected and how they recover. I argue that lower-income areas get more adversely affected by natural disasters and recover slower in comparison with wealthier areas. I tested these hypotheses using geospatial data from Hurricane Ian, which hit Florida in September 2022. For the geospatial analysis, I used ArcGIS Pro to map …

Applications Of Multivariable Calculus In Football, Karolina Rzeszut, Sarah Kraus, Montana Smith, Nathan Rowland, Lucas Owen, Kyler Akers, Karolina Rzeszut
Student Research Symposium (SRS)
Multivariable calculus helps explain how things work when more than one variable interacts at once, connecting with ideas such as architecture, nature, and most significantly football. In the latter, the ellipsoid equation has a significant effect on the aerodynamics of the ball, particularly the spiral motion when thrown. A football has three main dimensions: length, width, and height. Changing the ratios among these dimensions affects factors such as the stability of the spiral, the height of the throw’s parabolic path, and the overall distance the ball travels. By exploring these connections, this work shows how calculus can describe motion, efficiency, …
Analysis Of Northward Solar Wind High-Energy Plasma Jets In Earth's Magnetosphere, Amelia Koth
Analysis Of Northward Solar Wind High-Energy Plasma Jets In Earth's Magnetosphere, Amelia Koth
Student Research Symposium (SRS)
High-energy plasma jets form when the supersonic solar wind decelerates to subsonic speeds at Earth’s bow shock, producing a turbulent region known as the magnetosheath. Occasionally, the solar wind retains its supersonic nature and penetrates deeper into this region, which generates transient, high-velocity plasma jets directed toward Earth. These jets carry their own magnetic fields, which can interact with Earth’s field, drive magnetic reconnection, and potentially initiate substorms that lead to auroral activity. The NOVA (Northward-Oriented Velocity Analysis of High-Energy Plasma Jets in Earth’s Magnetosphere) study investigates specific jet events that occur during northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. Conducted …
