PHYSIOLOGICAL CARDIO-RESPIRATORY CHANGES OF AMARNATH YATRIES AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS OF YATRA: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY.
Full text linkIntroduction:
More than 3.5 lacs Amarnath Yatries ascend each year to holy Amarnath Cave situated about 3888 meters from the sea level. During ascent for Yatra in the mountains experiences multiple environmental stressors, but the stress unique to high altitudes is the oxygen-deficient atmosphere. This work focused on Physiological cardio-respiratory changes of Amarnath Yatries at different heights of Yatra.
Methods:
An observational study on Blood Pressure, Oxygen Saturation, Respiratory rate, and Pulse rate was conducted among 75 Amarnath Yatries at different heights during Amarnath Yatra from month of June and July in three years 2012, 2013, and 2014 respectively, and the researcher himself accompanied those groups during all 3 years after receiving ethical approval from Institutional Review Committee RIMS Ranchi and informed consent from Yatries.
Results:
Oxygen saturation (%) was 97.7±1.8 at Ranchi (control value), this value on exposure to high altitude, at Amarnath Cave (12500 feet) decreased to 75.2±4.3 %. Respiratory Rate (RR) was 15.5±1.8 per minute at Ranchi (control value), this value on exposure to high altitude, at Amarnath Cave (12500 feet) increased to 31.3±2.9 per minute. Pulse Rate (PR) was 87.6±11.9 per minute at Ranchi (control value), this value on exposure to high altitude, at Amarnath Cave (12500 feet) increased to 121.2±10.3 per minute.
Conclusion:
Blood Pressure, Respiratory rate, and Pulse rate of Amarnath Yatries significantly increase while Oxygen Saturation decreases at Holy Amarnath Cave

Satellite data offers new hope for flood-stricken farmers in India
No full textClimate change magnifies the risk of disasters and increases their costs. As the climate system has warmed, the number of weather-related hazards globally has tripled, and the number of people living in flood-prone areas and cyclone-exposed coastlines has doubled – and this trend is expected to increase. Dr Giriraj Amarnath and Dr Alok Sikka of International Water Management Institute (IWMI), discuss
Faith vs. The Environment: The Ecological Impact of the Amarnath Yatara Pilgrimage
Full text linkThe armed conflict in Kashmir has caused tremendous environmental, human, economic, and social damage. Kashmir is situated in one of the world’s most resource rich and biologically diverse regions. It is home to a number of critically endangered species, melt-water that from glaciers that feed South Asia’s largest rivers, and major historic and religious sites. The Shir Amarnath Yatara is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage in Kashmir. The pilgrimage route goes through the Muslim town of Pahalgam, and ends at a holy shrine to Shiva Lingam. This arduous 30-mile journey, going through sub-zero temperatures in the high mountains of the Himalayas is only accessible for a few months out of the year. Until recently, very few pilgrims braved this five-day journey. However, in recent years, the Indian government has taken strides to make the pilgrimage more accessible, and hundreds of thousands have taken advantage of this. The sheer magnitude of pilgrims attracted to the site has had a major impact on the ecology of this area. To date, no research has been conducted on the specific impacts of this pilgrimage on such a fragile environment, but the need for such investigation is evident. The residents of Pahalgam are dependent on the local environment for their livelihood, and the pilgrimage puts this in jeopardy. This paper shows how this pilgrimage has impacted the land and demonstrates the need for further investigation of the overall ecological impact of the Shir Amarnath Yatara on Kashmir
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Diaspora Geopolitics (Tamils in Canada)
No full textJennifer Hyndman (Social Science and Geography, York University), Amarnath Amarasingam (Religion, Queen’s University) and Gayathri Naganathan (Surgery, University of Toronto) examine how the state can often frame diaspora political engagement in terms of violent nationalisms, extremism and threat.
Focusing on the Tamil community in Canada, the researchers propose a different view of diaspora nationalisms as transnational, influenced by democratic liberalism, and an expression of and related geopolitics shaped “from below,” within the exiled diaspora
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
