Abstract:

During past four decades, Siliguri city has drew a lot of people. In this four-decade Siliguri city convert into an important economic centre of the entire north Bengal, as a result land use land cover distribution of the city changed rapidly. This study aims to identify the pattern and analyse the urban growth of the city from 1991 to 2021 by giving special emphasize on built up growth. The Landsat TM, ETM and LISS IV data has been used for determine the built-up growth of the Siliguri city. Modified Maximum Likelihood Classifier approach has been adopted to classify the satellite image. From the analysis it is found that there is a drastic change in built-up 1254.54 percent in respect to 1991. The sprawl has been measured using Shannon's entropy. These changes are harmful for the ecological balance of the city surrounding. It can further influence the city’s sustainable development conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract Information related to Land use and Land Cover (LULC) change is important for conservation of natural resources and sustainable development of an area. Siliguri is one of the populated metropolitan of West Bengal, India that has witnessed rapid urbanization. The major challenge is to identify the reason and pattern of urbanization due to inadequate and insufficient data in small cities like Siliguri. This paper has mainly assessed the LU & LC change of Siliguri municipality for the period of 1991-2001, 2001-2011 and 2011-2021. The main aim of the study is to determine the pattern and direction of future expansion. Satellite images from Landsat 4-5(1991-2011) and Landsat 8(2021) were used to extract LU & LC map of the municipality. Supervised classification using maximum likelihood classification was used to developed LULC maps. The supervised classification produced good results with overall accuracy of more than 80%. The change of the LULC pattern was obtained using change detection method. Four major classes viz. Vegetation, water body, sand and built-up have been identified. The analysis shows that maximum transformation has happened in the buildup environment from other land surface features.

Abstract:

This study reports the results of model simulations of the potential yield of tea in north-east India. The CUPPA-Tea model, developed using data from a high-altitude site close to the equator in East Africa, was validated against the yield data from irrigation experiments conducted on contrasting soil types at Siliguri and Tezpur in the tea growing region of north-east India. The close correspondence between observed and predicted yield and yield distribution suggests that the model is applicable in north-east India. The model was used to simulate the yield response of tea to drought and irrigation using daily weather data for seven years (1983–89) at Siliguri and 14 years (1974–85) at Tezpur. On a clay loam soil at Siliguri, with an available water capacity of about 200 mm m−1, the predicted mean reduction in yield was 1.5 kg ha−1 for each 1 mm reduction in evapotranspiration. However, there appeared to be no reduction in evapotranspiration until the soil water deficit reached about 240 mm. By contrast, at Tezpur on loamy sand, with an available water capacity of about 100 mm m−1, evapotranspiration was reduced once soil water deficits exceeded about 85 mm. There was then a mean reduction in yield of 2.2 kg ha−1 for each 1 mm reduction in evapotranspiration. At both sites, even when soil water deficits were not limiting, the predicted year-to-year variation in yields was about 500 kg ha−1. The results highlight the soil-related differences in response to irrigation and the benefits of using process-based simulation models to investigate the potential yields over long periods.

Abstract:

Introduction: Induction of labour is a common obstetric intervention, occurring in approximately 25% of term pregnancies in developing countries. Pharmacological and mechanical methods commonly used are prostaglandin preparations (PGE1 and PGE2) and various intracervical catheters (single or double balloon), respectively. Material and methods: Study was conducted in Siliguri District Hospital, Siliguri, Darjeeling, west Bengal. 100 antenatal woman admitted in obstetrics ward with pog more than 37 weeks were taken for study after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. 50 were induced with cerviprime gel and 50 with intracervical foley catheter. Statistical analysis done. Results: Mean interval between treatment initiation and delivery was not statistically significant, tachysystole was more common in group B women, rate of LSCS and NVD was similar in both groups. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the present study that Foley’s catheter (mechanical) and prostaglandin E2 gel [pharmacological] both are effective agents for preinduction cervical ripening which substantially improve the bishops score and increase the chances of successful labour induction. There is no significant difference in their efficacy, mode of delivery and perinatal outcome.

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a surge in research pertaining to sustainable urban development. Importance–performance analysis (IPA) has emerged as one of the most widely used methods. However, few studies have combined IPA with structural equation modelling (SEM). This study introduces and evaluates an integrated IPA–SEM approach to assess the impact of perceived importance and performance of sustainable city dimensions on residents’ satisfaction and loyalty. The data for this study were collected from 425 survey respondents residing in Siliguri City of West Bengal, India. The results indicate that the ‘Keep Up the Good Work’ quadrant, consisting of social quality, connectivity conditions, and environmental quality, significantly and positively affected satisfaction. On the other hand, the ‘Concentrate Here’ quadrant concerning environmental pollution presented a negative yet insignificant relationship with satisfaction while both the ‘Low Priority’ and ‘Potential Overkill’ quadrants demonstrated no notable influence. Furthermore, a robust positive correlation between satisfaction and loyalty is confirmed. Overall, the findings offer valuable implications for urban planning, policy-making, and strategies aimed at enhancing Siliguri residents’ quality of life.

Full text

Abstract:

India’s recent connectivity projects in the East, like the USD 484 million Kaladan Multi-Modal Transport Project, stem from a compulsion imposed by the sub-continent’s post-Partition geography. Pakistan lost its eastern wing in a bloody civil war in 1971 because it was logistically impossible for its army to hold on to an alienated province with millions of Bengalis up in arms and their insurrection fully backed by India. India did not lose its restive ‘Seven Sisters’ in the Northeast, but a spate of violent insurgencies by battling ethnicities (Naga, Mizo, Manipuri, Assamese, Bodos and other tribes) challenged Delhi’s control over the remote region. That has compelled post-colonial India to seek alternate trans-national connectivity to the region to get round the limitations imposed by the 21 km wide ‘Siliguri Corridor’, the only land link connecting the Indian mainland to the Northeast. A combined armoured-infantry-airborne thrust by China through the Zompheri Ridge down the Chumbi Valley and Jaldhaka, cutting off this Siliguri Corridor – this is the worst nightmare scenario for India’s military planners.

Abstract:

The present study assessed the nationwide lockdown impacts on the air pollution situation across West Bengal, India. Air pollution data was collected from the online monitoring stations of the Central Pollution Control Board across West Bengal. The gradual declining pattern of overall pollution status was observed during the lockdown phase from the pre-lockdown phase. The early unlocking stage found slow and gradual increasing air pollution levels. Siliguri’s pre-lockdown ‘poor’ Air Quality Index (AQI) improved in the lockdown phase to ‘satisfactory’ level. ‘Moderate’ level AQI in Asansol of the pre-lockdown stage improved to ‘satisfactory’ level during the lockdown phase. Pre-lockdown AQI of both Kolkata and Howrah changed from ‘moderate’ to ‘good’ level during the lockdown phase. Unlike other pollutants, the ozone level increased in Kolkata, Howrah, and Siliguri in the lockdown phase. The early monsoonal washout possibly caused the changes in the pattern of pollution status of specified periods in the 2019 and 2020. Thus, in the study period of lockdown in 2020, the decrease in pollution level may not only caused by the stoppage of vehicles or industry but also have a possible natural influence.

Abstract:

Soil surveying and mapping are extremely important in order to comprehend the characteristics of soil and what applications there are in agriculture, irrigation, urbanisation, and other land uses purposes. A major hindrance to the maximum production of the land is soil degradation brought on by inappropriate land management techniques. Geographical variability mapping of soil parameters is necessary for the agricultural productivity, food safety and environmental modelling. This research was done to identify some of the soil characteristics in the Siliguri Sub-Division. The present study had been conducted in the four blocks of Siliguri Sub-Division, located at the foot hill of the Darjeeling Himalayas in the Terai region of West Bengal, India. To comprehend the geographic variability of soil characteristics using a geospatial technique Soil pH, Phosphorus (P), Organic Carbon (OC), Nitrogen (N), Sulphur (S) and Potassium (K)were measured. To evaluate the current soil status of the area, some important chemical characteristics of the soil were identified. Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques were used to create surface maps of soil attributes, and sampling-broad analysis utilizing GPS was found to be a potentially effective tool. The goal of the study is to use an innovative method to carry out a soil analysis in a newly developed area. The production of digital maps for soil attributes allowed GIS to be used in the study to portray the laboratory results of the soil analysis. Utilizing variable technology, such digital mapping can be utilised in the research on agricultural applications. The result obtained from the research portray that the soil is acidic in nature and the pH value ranges between pH 6.1 to pH 4.5. Moreover, the presence of Nitrogen is between 0.13 to 1.90 %. Organic Carbon ranges between 2.22 to 1.47 %. The range of Potassium is between 32 ppm to 58 ppm, Phosphorus ranges between 09 to 27 ppm and sulphur content ranges between 10.4 to 32.3 ppm. The investigations will assist the development of a sustainable ecological status and proper agricultural system. Subsequently, it will also help to local government, environmentalists, LULC planners to promote any developmental plan related to agriculture and soil in the Siliguri Sub-division.

Abstract:

Background: Dyslipidemia, one of the classical Framingham risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, accounts significantly to the rise of non communicable diseases in India. Urbanization, along with greater consumption of dietary fats and decreased physical activity, has led to an increase in this problem manifold. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia among urban adults of Siliguri city, West Bengal and to identify the cardio-vascular risk factors associated with it. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out among the 226 adults aged ≥20yrs in an urban area of Siliguri city, West Bengal, India. Data was collected by detailed history and physical examination; biochemical measurements were done using standards procedures. Dyslipidemia was defined by the presence of one or more than one abnormal serum lipid concentration. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square test, t test and logistic regression analysis using SPSS 20 software (Chicago, IL, USA). Results: Dyslipidemia was prevalent among 78.4 % of the total study subjects. Dyslipidemia was more in males than in females & in both males and females it was more prevalent in the age group 40 -59 years than in any other age group. It was associated with higher odds of major cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, hyperglycemias, and tobacco use. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia remains a significant and growing problem in this part of the country. The reduction in the disease burden will require changes in life style as well as in national policies.

Abstract:

The Siliguri Corridor, a mostly geo-strategic term often associated with the security architecture of eastern India, is an important geo-political space that has received special attention from experts on security, strategy and foreign policy ever since India’s independence. It has been touted as one of the most vulnerable areas of India from a security perspective, as well as the gateway to the country’s north-east and by extension, towards Southeast Asia. The current structure and geography of this corridor is a result of gradual additions as well as losses of territory in its history. This includes various policies implemented under the British colonial rule in India, followed by subsequent treaties after independence. This paper studies the genesis of the Siliguri Corridor and in the process makes an attempt to understand the historical background of settlement, migration and development of the areas which compose this corridor. It also analyzes the impact of colonialism and its contributions towards the continuing security dynamics in the region. To achieve this, a detailed study of the addition of these areas into the Indian subcontinent throughout various stages of its history has been focused upon. The paper also contributes towards addressing the dearth of literature in understanding the exact area and geographical extent of the corridor with the objective of highlighting its structural composition to add to the discourse on its security which so far has been limited to the widely discussed idea that at its narrowest, the corridor is only about 20 to 22 kilometers wide.

Abstract:

Literacy is a key indicator of the socio-economic progression of an individual as well as of a society. A literate person always is a better respondent to the socio-economic events than an illiterate person in the society. The female age of marriage is also an important indicator for a sustainable and healthy society. As the tribal community is one of the most primitive communities in the society, these two parameters play a very important role towards their socio-economic as well as towards the overall development. The research work has done based on the primary data collected from the study area Siliguri sub-division, West Bengal, India. The objective of the research work is to find out the literacy status of the tribal females and also to find out the impact of literacy on the female age of marriage. To compare the tribal female literacy status with that of the tribal male literacy, Disparity Index has been prepared from the primary data. This gives a clear indication towards the presence of gender disparity in literacy in the study area. The overall tribal female literacy is clearly at far behind than tribal male literacy. The research also shows a ray of hope in terms of a huge improvement to mitigate this disparity in recent times. The data shows presence of child marriage in the tribal community of Siliguri sub-division. Analyzing the primary data, it is found that the child marriage is happening more frequently for illiterate tribal females than that of the literate one. So, clearly the impact of literacy on female age of marriage stands out.

Abstract:

Background: Vascular access is the most common and widely used medical device in hospital setting especially peripheral intravenous line rather than central venous line and it is more essential in the pediatric and newborn group in accessing and maintaining a safe and reliable venous access for continuous management. Though it is the most common procedure, complication like phlebitis, extravasation, induration, dislodgement related to PIVC are also high. Methods: A prospective cohort study which included 86 children of age 1-7 years admitted in pediatric ward in selected hospital, Siliguri during the year 2023 in the month of May and June. Objective of the study was to find out the incidence of phlebitis among children admitted in pediatric ward. Observational method was adopted to collect data from the participants. Jackson’s VIP scale and FLACC scale was used to collect data along with demographic variables and peripheral intravenous catheter characteristics. Results: The study revealed that all the 86 children developed phlebitis where 64% of children developed phlebitis Grade 2 of phlebitis and 19% grade 3 on day 2 from the day of insertion where on day 3 8% had grade 2 and 9% had grade 3. The mean duration of PIVC was 53.11±0.87 hours and the major risk factor associated with phlebitis was site of insertion (OR=33.8, 95% CI-0.5, 207). Conclusions: By identifying early signs of phlebitis among children, one can manage it at appropriate time and can reduce the further complication related to the PIVC.

Abstract:

Abstract. The poleward gradient of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) introduces more intense propagation effects on transionospheric satellite links in comparison to the equatorward gradient. Characterization of the poleward gradient was performed during March–April, August–October 2011 and March–April 2012 using GPS total electron content (TEC) recorded from a chain of stations located more or less along the same meridian (88.5° E) at Calcutta, Baharampore, Farakka and Siliguri. The poleward gradients calculated on magnetically quiet days at elevation in excess of 50° at 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00 LT were found to have a strong correlation with GPS S4 observed from Calcutta during post-sunset-to-midnight hours. A threshold value of poleward TEC gradient is calculated above which there is a probability of scintillation at Calcutta with S4 ≥ 0.4.

Abstract:

The geographies of real estate, land redevelopment and capital play crucial roles in India’s contemporary urban place-making. There is a significant knowledge gap in understanding the role of real estate development and the linkages with capital, the pre-existing propertied business class, emerging markets, and associated aspects in the rapidly changing non-metropolitan, medium-sized cities’ (MSC) context. This study analyses urban transition in Siliguri, a fast-growing MSC in eastern India. Unlike the large megacities, real estate development here has witnessed a considerable capital shift in a speculative property market. Real estate growth is primarily led by the local business and propertied class that eventually emerged as developers. The efforts have resulted in urban place-making of newly built environments, consumption spaces and gated condos through the land redevelopment process.

Abstract:

Language is the primary medium of communication and expression of thoughts and ideas. In India, there are two official languages- Hindi and English. English has-been occupying a dominant position since independence. There have been serious attempts to integrate English language in the school curriculum since 1980s. In the schools of West Bengal, English is taught either as a first language or second language. The present study intends to find the status of teaching English language in the secondary schools of Siliguri (West Bengal) where the schools with three different boards, ICSE, CBSE and state boards are chosen. The sample consisted of 50 teachers and 50 students from a total of 25 schools. A survey method and observation inventory was used for collection of data. The conclusion is that English language teachers need to abreast themselves with the latest developments in the context of language teaching. The co-operation from the school, teachers, parents and students yield fruitful results in improving the status of English language teaching.

Abstract:

The creation of the International Fossil Plant Names Index (IFPNI, 2014 onwards) with the aim of listing of all fossil plant species reveals a few new cases of homonymy between fossil and extant species. The name Cissus spectabilis (Kurz) Planchon (1887: 1092), originally published as Vitis spectabilis Kurz (1874: 196), is an illegitimate later homonym of Cissus spectabilis Heer (1878: 45) (Art. 53.1 of the ICN, McNeill et al., 2012). C. spectabilis Heer is a fossil-species currently accepted (Kirchheimer 1939, Sosnowsky 1949, 1974, Kryshtofovich & Baikovskaja 1960), described from the Upper Cretaceous (Coniacian) deposits of Sakhalin island (Far East, Russian Federation). Since the preoccupied extant species C. spectabilis (Kurz) Planch., a narrow Indian endemic restricted to Sikkim, Siliguri and neighboring localities of West Bengal, is also currently recognized as a valid species (The Plant List 2013 onwards; eFlora of India 2014 onwards) and it does not have any synonym, a nomen novum, C. notabilis, is here formally proposed as a replacement name.
