Preface Welcome to AICECS 2021 The First International conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computational Electronics and Communication System (AICECS) was held in the serene premises of Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (Institute of Eminence, declared by Government of India) Manipal in the coastal region of Mangalore. Due to the impact of COVID-19, we organized this conference in virtual mode. AICECS attracted people working in diverse fields: Artificial Intelligence, Computational Electronics and Communication System. The conference was designed to create a platform for researchers from academia and industry, practicing engineers, and students. AICECS 2021 invited full-length original research contributions from science, engineering professionals from industries, R&D organizations, academic institutions, government departments, and research scholars from across the world. The manuscripts were required to contribute original research ideas, developmental ideas, analysis, findings, results, etc. A series of keynote presentations and technical paper presentations were planned to foster vigorous exchange of research findings and ideas among the participants. Each submission has been carefully reviewed at least by a minimum of two reviewers, from a committee composed of 106 members from various institutes. The AICECS 2021 Conference received 149 submissions, from various institutes across the globe, 78 were selected for full presentation at the conference. Acceptance and publication were judged based on the relevance to the conference track, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. We would like to thank all authors and conference committee members for their enthusiastic participation and contribution. List of Editers, Disclaimer, About the Institute, Committees, Few Snapshots of Inaugural Function of AICECS 2021 and Keynote Speakers are available in this pdf.

Positive Impacts

The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious challenge for societies around the globe as entire populations have fallen victim to the infectious spread and have taken up social distancing. In many countries, people have had to self-isolate and to be confined to their homes for several weeks to months to prevent the spread of the virus. Social distancing measures have had both negative and positive impacts on various aspects of economies, lifestyles, education, transportation, food supply, health, social life, and mental wellbeing. On other hands, due to reduced population movements and the decline in human activities, gas emissions decreased and the ozone layer improved; this had a positive impact on Earth’s weather and environment. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has negative effects on human activities and positive impacts on nature. This study discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different life aspects including the economy, social life, health, education, and the environment.

The Impact

Human activities have dramatically changed ecosystems. As an irreplaceable ecological barrier in western China, the Qilian Mountains (QLM) provide various ecosystem services for humans. To evaluate the changes in the intensity of human activities in the QLM and their impact on the ecosystem, the human footprint (HF) method was used to conduct a spatial dataset of human activity intensity. In our study, the NDVI was used to characterize the growth of vegetation, and six categories of human pressures were employed to create the HF map in the QLM for 2000–2015 at a 1-km scale. The results showed that the mean NDVI during the growing season showed a significant increasing trend over the entire QLM in the period 2000–2015, while the NDVI showed a significant declining trend of more than 70% concentrated in Qinghai. Human pressure throughout the QLM occurred at a low level during 2000–2015, being greater in the eastern region than the western region, while the Qinghai area had greater human pressure than the Gansu area. Due to the improvement in traffic facilities, tourism, overgrazing, and other illegal activities, grasslands, shrublands, forests, wetlands, and bare land were the vegetation types most affected by human activities (in decreasing order). As the core area of the QLM, the Qilian Mountains National Nature Reserve (NR) has effectively reduced the impact of human activities. However, due to the existence of many ecological historical debts caused by unreasonable management in the past, the national park established in 2017 is facing great challenges to achieve its goals. These data and results will provide reference and guidance for future protection and restoration of the QLM ecosystem.

The Impact

The Organising Committee of the 9th International Conference on University Teaching and Innovation (CIDUI) wishes to thank the Editorial Board of the Journal of Technology and Science Education (JOTSE) for publishing this special issue.Since the year 2000, a new CIDUI conference has been held every two years. Today, it is a well-established event that provides an opportunity to share advances and innovation in the field of higher education.Like the previous editions, this one was also committed to fostering an especially participatory working dynamic and to promoting different points of view. The programmed debates were complemented by contributions from recognised specialists regarding the main topic of the conference: Learning and teaching innovation impacts. In relation to this general subject, papers were specifically focused on one of the four thematic axes proposed for this edition:Analysis of the impact on university teaching and learningNew training scenesProfessional DevelopmentInnovative methodologies in teaching – learning processesThe present special issue of the Journal of Technology and Science Education - JOTSE consists of eleven papers.
