Abstract:

The tiny Himalayan state of Sikkim is well known for its multi-cultural and multi-ethnic identity. There is a political and historical debate regarding the identity of communities in Sikkim. Lepchas are considered as original inhabitants of Sikkim. Currently, Lepcha, Bhutia and Limbu are recognised as minor communities and have Schedule Tribes (ST) status in the state. Individual community concentration is mainly found in North and West Sikkim. Lepcha-Bhutias are found mainly in North Sikkim whereas Limbus are concentrated in West Sikkim. Community concentration is profound in rural areas. Gyalshing sub-division of West Sikkim has been selected for the present study. Purpose of this study is to investigate the Gram Panchayat Unit (GPU) level economy and social development of the rural areas based mainly on secondary sources of information. A field survey was also conducted to interact with the local people. Findings suggest that education and population density are the key determinants for GPU level disparity in social development of the study area. It has been found that the economy is primarily agriculture based and fully organised by organic farming system. Recently, homestay (eco)tourism business has been started here like other parts of Sikkim.

Abstract:

<p>Sikkim is a land of myths, who has lost the pre-historic written documents but has left with the remarkable mystery of the country. Sikkim was sparsely populated and rich in natural resources including a large number of flora and fauna. There are three major ethnic communities, Lepchas, Bhutias and Nepalis inhabiting in the country. In the early period, Sikkim had a gigantic physical structure from the Himalayas to the plains. Earlier, the Tibetan called the territory of Sikkim as “Denjong, Demojong, and Deoshong, which have the same meaning as “Valley of Rice”. There is another myth, that, the first Tibetan king had made a palace in Rabdenchi, at that period of time the Limbo community people called the palace as “SU- HIM” which meaning as “New Home”. Another myth tells that in early days the Lepcha head married a Limbo girl from Limbuwan, and when she went to her father’s house, she told the people of the village that she had came from ‘Su Him’ or ‘New Home’. Later on, the Nepalese called it as ‘Su Khim’ instead of ‘Su Him’ but the advent of British in India, who could not pronounce the word ‘Su Khim’ and called it as ‘Sikkim’. That was the last change in the name of the nation for forever.</p>

Abstract:

Background: Considering the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications in patients with diabetes and the production of BNP on the incidence of CVD. Aims and Objectives: We investigated the role of BNP and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in predicting the presence of CVD in diabetes and determined if the concentration load of BNP and hs-CRP differed in diabetics participants with CVD and without CVD. Materials and Methods: Diabetic consenting participants fitting the study inclusion criteria were enrolled. Based on medical records, participants were grouped into diabetes with CVD and diabetes without CVD and tested for blood BNP, hs-CRP, Lipid Profile, and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C). Results: Diabetes mellitus (DM) was relatively higher in the age group of 51–60 years with female preponderance. Ethnic distribution demonstrated a high percentage of DM among the Sikkimese Nepalese, followed by Bhutias, and Lepchas. On ascertaining the effects of BNP and hs-CRP on the likelihood that the diabetic participants have CVD, only BNP demonstrated statistical significance. However, unlike hs-CRP, BNP exhibited no association with HbA1C and lipid parameters. BNP and hs-CRP levels were higher among diabetics with CVD when compared to diabetics without CVD. Conclusion: Increasing BNP levels in diabetes is associated with an increased likelihood of exhibiting CVD but increasing hs-CRP level may not be associated with an increased likelihood of exhibiting CVD. Increase in BNP levels independent of influence by HbA1C and lipid profile should be investigated further and yet importantly diabetes with CVD exhibits extra inflammatory load (hs-CRP) comparedto diabetes without CVDs.

Abstract:

Agni is the factor governing the process of digestion &transformation. Agni is responsible for the digestion, absorption, and assimilation of ingested food. Some scholars opined that the functional form of agni exists as pitta, i.e., agni resides in the body as pitta. The varieties of agni have been enumerated in the Ayurvedic texts according to the functions and site of action; Agni has been divided into 13 types, i.e., one Jataragni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni. Jatharagni is the most important, digesting four kinds of food and transforming them into Rasa and Mala. The five Bhutagnis act on the respective Bhutika portion of the food, nourishing the Bhutas in the body. The seven Dhatvagni act on the respective dhatus; each Dhatu is broken into three parts. In this way, the entire transformation process consists of two types of products – Prasad (essence) and Kitta (excrete). The former is taken for nourishment while the latter is thrown out, which otherwise defiles the body if it stays longer. The disease origin and pathogenesis involve the disturbance and vitiation of agni. So, the effective way to tackle this is to protect and maintain the agni. The ultimate essence of treatment lies in the correction of Agni, as it is the primary driving force in initiating the disease process.

Abstract:

Agni is an important aspect of existence of human life. Agni is intended to be a symbol of wholesome life within the body. Its depletion poses a serious threat to life. It determines how much food should be consumed and also affects food digestion, metabolism, cell transformation and nourishment of tissues. It is crucial for determining the severity of disease and health. Agni is classified into 13 types: one Jatharagni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni, based on its functions and site of action. The most significant is Jatharagni, which breaks down four different kinds of food into Rasa and Mala. The five Bhutagnis feed the Bhutas in the body by acting on the corresponding Bhutika part of the meal. Every Dhatu is divided into three parts by the seven Dhatvagni acting on its corresponding Dhatus. Thus, the two categories of goods that come from the full transformation process are Prasad (essence) and Kitta (excrete). The former is consumed for sustenance, whereas the latter is discarded because, if it remains in the body longer, it defiles it. Dhatu is either depleted or overproduced depending on whether the Agni rise or decrease. This shows that Agni has an autoregulatory and negative feedback system. The restoration of a well-formed Dhatu and the adjustment of Agni are necessary for disease treatment. Hence, our body’s normal physiology and pathology depends on Agni, mainly Dhatvagni.

Abstract:

A field study was conducted on the nature and extent of damage of corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) in two maize varieties viz. BARI Hybrid Bhutta-5 and BARI Bhutta-7. The larvae caused damage by feeding on the ear tip at silk stage and then to kernel, the larvae were mainly confined to the ear tip and excreted faecal matter. It was found that the cob infestation rate was in linear progress and the mean cob infestation was 6.50% and 6.69% in BARI Hybrid Bhutta-5 and BARI Bhutta-7, respectively. The mean length of cob infestation was 24.90% and 25.07% and the mean number of kernel damage was 24.30 and 25.43 in BARI Hybrid Bhutta-5 and BARI Bhutta-7, respectively. The average yield loss was 0.016 t/ha in BARI Hybrid Bhutta-5 and 0.017 t/ha in BARI Bhutta-7. It was revealed from the results that BARI Bhutta-7 was more susceptible to this pest.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v20i1-2.16849 Progress. Agric. 20(1 & 2): 49 55, 2009

Abstract:

This paper describes the attention marker =ɕo in Denjongke, a Tibetic language spoken in Sikkim, India. The presence of the attention marker, which may be either speaker or addressee-oriented, indicates that something is brought to the forefront of the speaker’s or the addressee’s attention. The attention marker =ɕo occurs in declarative uses postposed to a verb, and in interrogative uses postposed to other parts of speech (verbless uses). The attention in verbal uses, which resemble the notion “mirativity”, is either speaker or addressee-oriented, whereas verbless uses, which resemble the notion “contrastive focus”, are always addressee-oriented. When occurring with copulas, the function of =ɕo as either speaker or addressee-oriented is partly dependent on the evidentiality of the copulas. With other verbs, the orientation of =ɕo is dependent on other contextual factors. After describing the verbal and verbless uses of =ɕo, the article concludes by showing why the categories focus and mirativity are problematic for describing =ɕo. Existing definitions of mirativity by DeLancey (1997), Peterson (2013), Dickinson (2000), Hyslop (2011b), Hengeveld & Olbertz (2012) and Aikhenvald (2012) are shown to fail to accommodate the range of uses of =ɕo. The concept of attention, on the other hand, not only describes the Denjongke data more comprehensively but also helps understand the interface between mirative-like and focus-like phenomena. The last section illustrates the similarity of =ɕo to exclusively addressee-oriented morphemes in Nepali, Japanese (Davis 2011) and Ingush (Nichols 2011), suggesting that the concept of attention may prove useful for describing exclusively addressee-oriented phenomena, which have rarely been associated with “mirativity”.

Abstract:

Bhutan is a small, landlocked country in southern Asia, between China and India. Its population is 634,982, and it covers 38,394 square kilometers. It has one of the world's smallest and least developed economies. Agriculture, forestry, and hydroelectric power provide the main sources of income for 90 % of the population. International agencies are currently supporting a number of educational, social, and environmental programs. In 2003, the higher education sector in Bhutan was reorganized through the creation of the Royal University of Bhutan bringing together eight higher education institutes and two teacher education institutions, including the National Institute of Education (NIE) in Samtse, which is in the southern border of Bhutan with India. Recently, the NIE was renamed as Samtse College of Education and the Paro College of Education in the west. The Royal University of Bhutan, founded on 2nd June, 2003 by a royal decree is the national university system of Bhutan. It was established to consolidate the management of tertiary education in Bhutan. It is a decentralized university with 10 constituent colleges spread across the kingdom. The present study focuses the growth and functioning of distance education in Bhutan.

Full text

Abstract:

The Sikkim–Bhutan seismic gap has witnessed a long earthquake quiescence since the 1714 M7.5~8.5 earthquake. The state of stress accumulation beneath the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya and its spatial correlation with seismicity remains unclear due to the lack of geodetic measurements and the low levels of seismic activity. We compile Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in southern Tibet with the available velocities in the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya to reveal the characteristics of strain buildup on the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). We correct non-tectonic hydrological loading effects in a GPS time series to accurately determine the Three-Dimensional (3D) velocities of each continuous station. Extensive GPS measurements yield convergence rates of 16.2~18.5 mm/y across the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya, which is quite consistent with that observed elsewhere in the Himalaya. Based on a double-ramp structure of the MHT, a refined 3D coupling image is inverted using a dense network of GPS velocities. The result indicates significant along-strike variations of fault coupling beneath the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya. The locking width (coupling > 0.5) of western Bhutan reaches ~100 km, which is 30~40% wider than Sikkim and eastern Bhutan. An obvious embayment of decoupling zone near the border between Sikkim and western Bhutan is recognized, and coincides spatially with the rupture terminates of the 1934 Mw8.2 and the 1714 M7.5~8.5 earthquakes, indicating that the large megathrust earthquakes along the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya are largely segmented by the spatial variation of frictional properties on the MHT. Using a new compilation of seismic records in the Sikkim–Bhutan Himalaya, we analyze the spatial correlation between fault coupling and seismic activity. The result suggests that the seismicity in the Bhutan Himalaya is broadly distributed, instead of restricted in the lower edge of the interseismic locking zone. This implies that the seismic activity in the Bhutan Himalaya is not uniquely controlled by the stress accumulation at the downdip end of the locked portion of the MHT.

Abstract:

The Kingdom of Bhutan lies in the folds of the eastern Himalayas, sandwiched between India to the south and China to the north. It has a total area of 38394 km2, which is roughly the size of Switzerland, and a population of a little over 70 0000 (Royal Government of Bhutan, 2002). It is a mountainous country, except for a small flat strip in the southern foothills. The official language is Dzongha, but English is widely spoken. English is the medium of instruction from pre-primary level onwards. In 1999 Bhutan allowed viewing of television and use of the internet, as a step towards modernisation. In the early 20th century, Bhutan came into contact with the British Empire; Bhutan maintains strong bilateral relations with India. Business Week magazine in 2006 rated Bhutan the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world, based on a global survey. Bhutan is in fact the only country where happiness is measured in the form of an index, ‘Gross National Happiness’. The main religion practised in the country is Buddhism, with Hinduism as the second most prevalent. The capital and largest city is Thimphu. In 2007, Bhutan made the transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy, and held its first general election in 2008. Bhutan is a member of the United Nations and of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC); it hosted the 16th SAARC summit in April 2010.

Abstract:

AbstractAn assessment of management effectiveness was carried out for all the protected areas in the Kingdom of Bhutan. During 2014–2016 the Royal Government of Bhutan developed a custom-made tool for assessing management effectiveness: the Bhutan Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool Plus (Bhutan METT +). This was implemented in Bhutan's 10 protected areas and one botanical park, and the results were verified through field trips and expert reviews. The assessment indicates that protected areas in Bhutan are well managed and there are generally good relationships with local communities, despite an increase in livestock predation and crop damage. However, effectiveness is limited by a low level of resources (both financial and appropriate technical resources) and by gaps in monitoring and research data, which limits the ability to understand the impact of conservation, react to changing conditions and undertake adaptive management to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Bhutan is in the midst of mobilizing considerable conservation funding. The Government is working in partnership with WWF to create an innovative funding mechanism for the protected area system: the Bhutan for Life initiative. The Bhutan METT + study provides an example of how to develop a baseline against which to measure the effectiveness of protected areas over time and assess the impact of conservation inputs.

This treaty helped to enhance their integration i.e. free trade agreement (FTA) in goods signed between them in 2006. It is in this context, the present study applies revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and trade intensity index (TII) to explore India’s trade potential and prospects with Bhutan that will tell us either India has trade possibility with Bhutan or not. The major findings of the study showed that India has become the largest trading partner of Bhutan. India has strong and sustainable trade potential with Bhutan. Even India has no specialisation in the export of any product to Bhutan but still exports continued to increase at walking rate. Overall, India has strong trade prospects with Bhutan.</em></p></div>

Abstract:

Bhutanese pteridophytes have been compiled into a check-list of 568 taxa (543 species and 25 additional subspecies), based on reidentification of nearly all the world’s herbarium holdings from the Country, studied by the first author. We have also carried out many field-excursions, particularly in west and east Bhutan, collecting and identifying specimens. As a result we have produced a detailed specimen check-list giving full details (Fraser-Jenkins et al., in press 2022). The present list of confirmed taxa makes various additions and corrections to the Bhutan listings in the Annotated Checklist of Indian Pteridophytes (Fraser-Jenkins et al. 2016-2020), detailed in the full checklist. Two new species Diplazium phuntshoi Fraser-Jenk., and Pichisermollodes major Fraser-Jenk. and one new subspecies Dryopteris sparsa subsp. obtusipinnula Fraser-Jenk., are described. Only 4 species are endemic to Bhutan, but are all presumed to be only temporarily so and are expected to be present also in N.E. India, S.E. Tibet, S.W. China or N. Myanmar, though not yet detected there.

Abstract:

The year 2020 in Bhutan was dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, a decline in state revenues, and territorial claims by China. In 2019, Bhutan’s strong economy suggested that the country would graduate from the least developed country category in 2023. The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy makes this less certain.

Abstract:

Bhutan’s agenda in 2017 was dominated by the preparation for the third parliamentary elections (slated for 2018), the 12th Five-Year Development Plan (2018–23), and the golden jubilee of the establishment of diplomatic relations with India. A military standoff between China and India on Bhutan’s border highlighted the kingdom’s strategic regional position.

Abstract:

This article attempts to describe sexual diversity among people in Bhutan. We investigate ways in which Bhutan addresses sexual diversity in sex education and the law. We also review existing data to assess health issues affecting sexually diverse populations in Bhutan. Although limited, the available evidence indicates a higher likelihood of committing suicide, abusing substances, and facing barriers to accessing health care services and programs. The review finds the need for more representative researches for understanding sexually diverse people in Bhutan. The paper highlights the need for research with these populations with equal focus in ensuring active participation by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, inter sex & questioning (LGBTI&Q) community. The judiciary, education, and health system are crucial agencies that can facilitate and create accepting environments for the sexually diverse population in Bhutan.
