Restoration of Degraded Lands Through Agroforestry
Crop and tree compartments cohabit side by side within agroforestry and thus it can possibly induce inherent environmental spatial heterogeneity of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient stocks. Although previous studies largely focused on elucidating agroforestry effects on SOC stocks on spatial scales, its effect on the spatial heterogeneity of nutrient stocks is lacking. Furthermore, little is known about the contrasting effects of short‐ (≤ 1…

From Lhasa to Dharamshala
The article examines the forced migration and stateless existence of Tibetans due to China’s invasion of Tibet in 1950. As per the demographic survey conducted by Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) in 2009, approximately 80,000 Tibetans fled to neighbouring countries like India, Bhutan, and Nepal after the 1959 uprising against the Chinese government. It studies how exile has catalysed the formation of a transnational Tibetan identity. Drawing …

Health effects of radioactive contaminated dust in the aftermath of potential nuclear accident in Ukraine
Our simulation shows widespread radioactive contamination in the event of nuclear accident(s) during the Ukraine war, but the extent and direction of the impact will depend on the timing of the accident
Clinical periodontal parameters and sub-gingival bacterial profile in chronic periodontitis patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Objectives: To assess the severity of periodontitis and to determine the sub-gingival microbial profile in patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A total of 40 patients (18 females and 22 males) were selected for the study and were divided into two groups of twenty each. The test group (Group I) consisted of 20 patients (8 females and 12 males) chronic periodontitis with chronic kidney disease, and control group (Group I…
Quantification of DNA profiling from burnt remnants
In crime scene investigation, various evidences are attained in distinct forms by forensic experts. These evidences are often recovered in contaminated form, decomposed or partial form especially skelton remnants. In homicidal cases, dead bodies are redeemed partial burnt/ completely. In such cases, identification of an individual from highly burnt remnants is established by DNA profile. It can’t be neglected that hard tissues (bones and teeth) c…

Singing the River in Punjab
This paper traces the centrality of rivers in twentieth-century and contemporary popular music and poetry in the regional context of Punjab in the north-west of the subcontinent. In contrast to the riverine imaginations in the songs of eastern or central India, we look at the very different evocations of rivers-both real and conceptual-in the subcontinent's north-west. Rivers feature centrally in the love legends, devotional and folk poetry, and …

Allergies, Allergic Comorbidities and the Home Environment in Pediatric Asthma in Southern Florida
Background: Environmental exposure is critical in sensitization to environmental allergens and pediatric asthma morbidity, especially in tropical climates where children are perennially exposed to bioaerosols, such as pollen and mold spores, and endotoxins. Objective : This cross-sectional study examines the association of allergies, associated allergic comorbidities, and the home environment separately and synergistically in pediatric asthma, in…
Pediatric Asthma Attack and Home Paint Exposure
Although asthma mortality has been declining for the past several decades, asthma morbidity is on the rise, largely due to deteriorating indoor air quality and comorbidities, such as allergies. Consumer products and building materials including paints emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as propylene glycol (PG), which is shown to dehydrate respiratory tracts and can contributor to airway remodeling. We hypothesize that paint exposure inc…
Assessing the Quality of Life of Oral Submucous Fibrosis Patients
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro. We used the consecutive sampling technique to recruit patients who were clinically diag…
Heat Exposure and Multiple Sclerosis—A Regional and Temporal Analysis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disorder that progressively distorts the myelination of axons within the central nervous system (CNS). Increased core body temperature or metabolism as a result of exercise are common causes of short-term exacerbations of neurological symptoms in MS. About 60-80% of patients with MS experience a worsening of their symptoms when exposed to heat. In comparison, less data are available on the relationship be…

Where Angels Fear to Tread? Mapping Women and Men in India
The authors have produced the Atlas of Women and Men in India, using material from the 1991 Census, mainly at district level. The Atlas may be unacceptable to Indian geographers because it seeks to question the authority of numerical data and of maps, and to Western geographers because this is "mapping before we understand the process". The authors introduce maps of the sex ratio in India and explore through a map of changes in the sex ratio 1981…

Impact of Multichannel Cable Network on the Nature of Viewing and Social Interactions
The impact of multichannel electronic media is assuming a varied effect on the India population as there is a vast cultural and social diversity in the country. While metropolitans had already been influenced by Western culture, the suburbs and rural areas were relatively free from it. This segment of Indian society, ingrained with orthodox values, was not ready for the invasion by Western culture, which is being propa gated by the multichannel e…
Frequency Histogram Legend in the Choropleth Map
This article presents the use of the frequency histogram legend (FHL) as a substitute to traditional legends in both classed and unclassed choropleth maps. Great variation in the size of mapping units can hinder readers' ability to comprehend statistical distributions from a choropleth map. Replacing conventional legends with FHL can aid readers in their understanding of spatial as well as statistical distributions of the mapped data simultaneous…

Commercial Arctic shipping through the Northeast Passage
The Russian and Norwegian Arctic are gaining notoriety as an alternative maritime route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and as sources of natural resources. The renewed interest in the Northeast Passage or the Northern Sea Route is fueled by a recession of Arctic sea ice coupled with the discovery of new natural resources at a time when emerging and global markets are in growing demand for them. Driven by the expectation of potential f…

The Exposure Uncertainty Analysis
Often spatiotemporal resolution/scale of environmental and health data do not align. Therefore, researchers compute exposure by interpolation or by aggregating data to coarse spatiotemporal scales. The latter is often preferred because of sparse geographic coverage of environmental monitoring, as interpolation method cannot reliably compute exposure using the small sample of sparse data points. This paper presents a methodology of diagnosing the …
