Culinary choices, craft technologies, and plant foods: Ethnoarchaeological perspectives from central India
Foodways represent a dynamic tradition in which ingredients, culinary objects, and preparation techniques form an interconnected system shaped by prolonged human–environment interactions. These culinary implements and gastronomic techniques are closely connected to plant foods, whose adaptive nature enables their consumption in diverse forms and nuanced flavor expressions. Considering the intriguing links between plant foods and culinary crafts, …
Nature-human’s celebratory ties: Indigenous foodways and festive traditions of central India
The region of central India is home to several indigenous groups, living in forested areas, who show their close affinity to their land through various cultural practices. We found that almost every activity they perform revolves around their connection to nature, exhibiting their reverence for Mother Earth and other natural entities with which their lives are interrelated. Food-centred festivals are notable among these pursuits, as they provide …

Encountering the Obsolete Art: An Archaeological Gaze at the Contemporary Textile Tradition in India
Art is an essential glimpse into the history of humanity because it is often one of the few things to survive. It is a medium to express one’s feelings, which can tell us stories and relate the modes and beliefs of an era. Prehistoric art represents various aspects of the everyday life of early humans, including a diverse range of symbols and signs in multiple patterns. The present article explores how these ancient motifs can serve as the basis …
Ritual Meals of Chaṭha: Exploring Gastronomical Activities in a Religious and Festive Setting
Festivals and rituals have been pivotal for transmitting and preserving cultural values, with food assuming a central role in these communal observances. This study delves into the intricate interplay between culinary practices, cultural identity, and religious expression by examining the Hindu festival of Chat.ha. The investigation centers on the multifaceted nature of Chat.ha. By closely examining the processes of procurement, preparation, offe…
Classification of thyroid diseases using machine learning frameworks
Thyroid diseases are instigated due to disparity in production of hormones –TSH, T4 and T3. Most of the patients of thyroid dysfunction go untreated due to late detection or no detection at all. Machine learning based models for detection of thyroid diseases offer a significant assistance to healthcare. The medical history of the patient supplies the features required by machine learning based classification and prediction models for thyroid dysf…

Updated analyses of temperature and precipitation extreme indices since the beginning of the twentieth century: The HadEX2 dataset
In this study, we present the collation and analysis of the gridded land‐based dataset of indices of temperature and precipitation extremes: HadEX2. Indices were calculated based on station data using a consistent approach recommended by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices, resulting in the production of 17 temperature and 12 precipitation indices derived from daily maximum and minimum t…
Black carbon aerosols over Manora Peak in the Indian Himalayan foothills: Implications for climate forcing
This letter presents the contribution of black carbon (BC) to the total aerosol optical depth (AOD) and subsequently to the direct radiative forcing (DRF) at Manora Peak in the Indian Himalayan foothills. Measurements of the chemical composition of aerosols, carried out from July 2006 to May 2007, together with concurrently measured BC mass concentrations were used in an aerosol optical model to deduce the radiatively important aerosol optical pa…
Antecedents of Organisational Commitment across Hierarchical Levels
The present study investigated the impact of various personal and organisational characteristics on organisational commitment of employees working at different hierarchical levels. Age, length of service and locus of control of employees were studied as the personal characteristics, whereas perceived job characteristics and organisational structure were studied as the organisational characteristics. A sample of 240 employees working at different …

Status and distribution of golden langurs ( Trachypithecus geei ) in Assam, India
The distribution of golden langurs ( Trachypithecus geei ) is limited to a small area of western Assam in northeast India and Bhutan between the rivers Manas in the east, Sankosh in the west, and Brahmaputra in the south. It is one of the most seriously endangered primate species of India. A comparative analysis based on satellite images taken in 1988 and 1998 showed a 50% loss of original golden langur habitat. Data on population dynamics collec…

Modifying Effects of Coping Strategies on the Relation of Organizational Role Stress and Mental Health
The study examined the modifying effects of ‘approach’ and of ‘avoidance’ coping strategies on the relation of organizational role stress and mental health in a sample of 300 industrial supervisors. A significant positive relationship was noted between role stress and mental ill health. The approach-coping group reported mote role stress but scored lower on the measure of mental ill health in comparison to avoidance-coping group. Analysis also sh…
