Sleep well and live well
INTRODUCTION: Sleep is a key component of a healthy lifestyle and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and prevention recommends that adults get at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Within the United States, West Virginia is among the most sleep-deprived states with 42% of the population reporting insufficient sleep per the CDC. Sleep insufficiency in rural populations is linked to disparities in health and accessibility to health care services.…

Reconstructing premodern Indian literary theories of allusion and translation, we seek to bring new voices into the global discussion. The first part explores a theory of allusion in conversation with a work of Sanskrit literary theory, Ruyyaka’s Treasure of Ornaments. In the second part, the…

Comparative study of the experience of caregiving in bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia
BACKGROUND: Bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia are disabling illnesses and place a considerable degree of burden on the caregivers. Many studies from India have measured the burden of care in schizophrenia and some studies have measured the burden experienced by the caregivers of bipolar affective disorder. Few studies have compared this variable in these disorders. Experience of caregiving is a broader concept that takes into considera…
Atiya's Journeys
More than a century ago, Atiya Fyzee, a Muslim woman of the renowned Tyabji clan, set out from colonial Bombay to study in Edwardian London. As she rode the steamboat, she began writing her daily experiences in a diary that would later appear as serialized entries in an Urdu women’s magazine published from the Punjab. Despite the magazine’s small circulation at the time, Atiya’s travelogue drew enough attention and gave the fledgling author her f…

A form of informal ethnography, Atiya’s travelogue contains accounts of food and cooking in Britain during the Edwardian period, along with gardening, the weather, religion, leisure, and travel.

Translating Gender
This paper examines the figure of Āzād Bilgrāmī (d. 1785), who was the first Persian author to synthesize Persian, Arabic and Indian poetics, combining the purely theoretical interest of a scholar with a practising poet’s insight into local traditions. In his Arabic work, Subhat al-marjān fi āthār Hindūstān (Coral Rosary of Indian Antiquities, 1763–64) Āzād Bilgrāmī compared the rhetorics of Arabic and Sanskrit love poetry in order to effect a fo…
From 'Ā'esha to Nur Jahān
The eighteenth century witnessed an interest in Persian women poets and attempts were made by writers of tazkeras to create a female canon of poets. The cultural shift in the Iranian-Indian interface at this time had a direct effect on the writing of Persian literary history that, on the one hand, resulted in the desire to maintain a universal vision regarding the Persianate literary past, exemplified by such writers as Vāleh Dāghestāni in Riāz a…
Forbidden Love, Persianate Style
The patronage system at the Mughal court drew many Safavid poets and men of learning to India who interacted with Indians at various levels. In an unusual case, the young Iranian poet ‘Urfī's attachment to his patron, Prince Salīm (later Emperor Jahāngīr), was interpreted by some as more than merely professional and the poet's death at a young age gave rise to speculations of intrigue. Mughal princesses were also actively involved in the literary…

Employment Duration and Industrial Labor Mobility in the United States, 1880-1980
Recent studies of job tenure raise the question of the appropriate duration statistic to use in historical research. This article compares duration measures and examines their empirical and theoretical implications for historical research on employment tenure. Using a variety of data from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, we find that although there existed a sector of stable jobs, most industrial jobs were brief. Since World War…
