Assessment of Dust Retention Capacity and Metal(Loid) Accumulation in Plants of Singrauli Region, India
Particulate matter (PM) emissions from activities associated with the coal industry in regions like Singrauli, India, where thermal power plants and heavy traffic are prevalent, pose significant risks to human health and the ecosystem due to dust and heavy metal pollution. The mean concentrations of pollutants ranged from 151 to 436 and 48 to 166 μg/m 3 for PM 10 and PM 2.5 , respectively. The study examined the dust retention capacity (DRC) of 3…
Anthropology of the Profane
Durkheimian anthropology has so insisted on the primacy of the sacred that one scarcely pauses to think on what role the profane may play in the study of religion. This paper examines the cultivation of dead bodies in the Tantric ritual of shav-sadhana to draw out the element of the "profanation of holy objects" operative within religion. Based on ethnographic research among Tantric specialists in rural Bengal, this paper examines how impurity li…
Bioremediation of heavy metals from wastewater using nanomaterials
Miracle, magic, or science: Ritual bathing in modern India
The paper addresses ritual and quotidian aspects of bathing in thermal springs at Bakreswar, a Hindu pilgrimage site in India. Ascetics, priests, pilgrims, and scientists vouch for the mineral content and healing properties of the spring waters. Drawing on ethnographic field research, the paper identifies three broad trajectories of responses to the origin and importance of the springs in ways that align the local landscape with the grand scale o…
The Conflict Between Secular and Religious Narratives in The United States: Wittgenstein, Social Construction, And Communication
Ethnography and Theory of the Signature in Physics
Ending the decades-long search for the elusive Higgs particle, physicists at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or CERN, in Switzerland announced the news of its historic discovery on July 4, 2012. In the wake of the recent discovery of the Higgs particle, the article aims to give a critical account of the concept of signature used in contemporary particle physics. Appearing as interlopers in the material world of science, signatur…
Science and the Large Hadron Collider: A probe into instrumentation, periodization and classification
On September 19, 2008, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Switzerland, began the world’s highest energy experiments as a probe into the structure of matter and forces of nature. Just nine days after the gala start-up, an explosion occurred in the LHC tunnel that brought the epic collider to a complete standstill. In light of the catastrophic incident that disrupted the operation of the LHC, the paper investigates the relation of temporality…
