Homogeneity

Background: Rainfall variation is a clear indicator of climate change. IPCC in its multiple assessment reports has raised concerns over the changing climate and rising global average temperatures which could lead to widespread and catastrophic impacts on natural and human systems. The study of long-term patterns is crucial in establishing evidence of shifting climate and informing policy decisions.Objectives:This study examines the rainfall trend and variability of the semi-arid Agra district and assesses rainfall in the region. Annual rainfall for 101 years from 18 grid data points was statistically analysed for the same.Methodology: For the projection and analysis of data points, a Thiessen network polygon was drawn using QGIS 3.28.4. Each grid data point was assigned a Thiessen polygon. According to the area each Thiessen polygon covers, it was assigned weights. Then according to the weight of each polygon, annual rain in that area was calculated. Next, the data were tested for homogeneity and breakpoints using the Standard Normal Homogeneity test, Buishand’s Range test, Buishand’s U test and Pettitt’s test. After this the trend of the data was identified using Mann-Kendall and the magnitude was calculated using Theil-Sen’s estimator. R-studio was used for all the statistical analysis and graph plotting.Results: Upon conducting the Standard Normal Homogeneity test, Buishand’s Range test, Buishand’s U test and Pettitt’s test it was found that the data was non-homogeneous with the breakpoint in the year 1967. The Mann-Kendall test revealed a declining trend in the annual rainfall and the Theil-Sen estimator calculated the magnitude of this declining trend to be -1.63 for the last century.Conclusion: The findings suggest that climate change is having a significant impact on rainfall in the semi-arid Agra district. The declining trend in rainfall could have several negative consequences for the region, including water scarcity, crop failure, and increased risk of droughts. 

"One of the most crucial philosophical rules and a cornerstone of rational principles is the " Nothing but the One emanates from One." This article, employing a library research method for data collection and an analytical and descriptive approach for data analysis, aims to accurately explain this rule. It also seeks to address the arguments of those who oppose the rule, as they haven't correctly grasped its underlying premises. By carefully considering these premises, we find that the "unity" referred to in the rule is not numerical unity, but rather true, real, and original unity. Furthermore, the "One" signifies a simple entity from all aspects and dimensions. "Emanation " implies direct emanation and illuminative emanation, and "homogeneity " refers to shadowy homogeneity . With these introductions, the meaning of the rule becomes clear: From the One that is simple in all respects (basīṭ min jamī' al-jihāt), by virtue of the principle of shadowy homogeneity (Senkhīyyat ẓillīyyah), and without an intermediary and with an illuminative relation (iḍāfah ishrāqiyyah), nothing but the One emanates.. Indeed, according to the elucidations of Mystics and Transcendent Philosophers (Muta'allihīn), the single effect  that emanates from the utterly simple One (God) is precisely what they call Expanded Existence or Expanded Grace.
