Exploring the determinants of biopesticide adoption among farmers using machine learning
The adoption of sustainable agricultural practices remains a critical challenge in developing countries. This study moves beyond traditional linear models to employ a multi-faceted machine learning (ML) approach, aiming to predict biopesticide adoption and to uncover the most influential behavioural constructs of farmers towards biopesticide adoption intention in Bihar, India. The data were collected from 468 farmers across four districts of Biha…

Anthropology and Social Health
Sociological studies in the west have paid some attention towards understanding social evils which are rapidly growing in frequency as also in their manner of expression. In India the need of such studies were not felt till late. In the recent years, however, rapid urban growth, break of joint family and full exposure of the evils of the modern western society through cable has brought about a strong stress in the urban youth. The paper tries to …
Old Age in Prehistory
International year of aged people has been just observed and we are trying to understand and solve the problems of contemporary old people. In this discourse, archaeological and historical clues of aging are relegated to the back seat. In the present paper an attempt has been made to understand archaeology of aging.Key Words: AgingFamilyDemographyArchaeology
Rethinking in Indian Anthropology
In the wake of specialization many disciplines are facing a problem of segmentation. If this is al lowed to influence anthropology it can result into su ch disciplines which will become virtually unrecognizable to each other. Consequently anthropology needs to work out a formula where most recent advances in biological and sociological fields can be incorporated to device newer strategies of research. If we look at the issues emanating in the nat…

Anthropology in Prehistoric Archaeology
Acculturative and historical factors apart, many cultural and civilizational traits world over have originated, evolved and taken definite shapes for adaptional of humans on specific environmental components and nichaes. In contemporary social –cultural situations inhabitants of isolated, difficult and imposing natural conditions where human adaptation, at the level of Culture, with environment sounds remarkable, Ladakh, a district of jammu and K…
Paleolithic Culture and Culture Change
A debate concerning the meaning of stone artifact and assemblage variability during the Paleolithic has been in progress for some time now. This paper attempts to link theory and method in suggesting specific methods for the investigation of whether stone tools can act as markers of culturally bounded social units, i.e., ethnic groups, in the past. Hypotheses are formulated based on the theory of culture tradition, and test implications are deduc…
The Clactonian
The Clactonian tradition of the British Lower Palaeolithic is currently accepted as an autonomous prehistoric culture, distinct from the Acheulean and pre-dating it. The recent excavations of a number of central sites have opened up a new opportunity for a comprehensive reinvestigation of Clactonian versus Acheulean artifacts along with other aspects related to the two complexes. This study examines and analyzes an unprecedented quantity of objec…
An Evolutionary Approach to the Southeast Asian Cultural Sequence [and Comments and Reply]
Recent archaelogical work has directed attention toward Southeast Asia. However, while the substantive results of this research are significant for tracing worldwide prehistoric developments, the integration of these findings into a regional archaeological framework continues to be a problem. Most traditional chronological-developmental frameworks of Southeast Asian prehistory were patterned after the European paradigm of five prehistoric ages. I…
