Gyani Maiya (2019 documentary)

No community can express the pain of losing an elder, especially when she was the last fluent speaker of their language. Gyani Maiya Sen-Kusunda died on January 25, 2020 in Kulmor village of Dang district in western Nepal, a year and half before this documentary was filmed. From leaving behind the life of a nomad to getting married to a non-nomad to raising a family that could not speak her language, Sen-Kusunda wished that the Kusunda language is taught to the newer generation. In her own words, "now none of the Mihaqs (Kusunda people) speak the language. The girls have got married and have left for the villages. Boys are getting married in villages. We left our language and started speaking other languages. It should be taught to others." The plot of this film follows the story of the Kusunda people - narrated by Sen-Kusunda - who were once a nomadic community and are currently settled in villages. Over the years almost all the Kusundas have left speaking their language. This documentary arguably contains the most detailed video interviews of Sen-Kusunda. Her younger sister Kamala Sen Khatri is the sole fluent speaker of the Kusunda language at the moment. Uday Raj Aley, who plays a key role in this film has researched about the Kusunda language over the years and has published a trilingual Kusunda-Nepali dictionary

Calculation of the Flux of Atmospheric Neutrinos

Atmospheric neutrino-fluxes are calculated over the wide energy range from 30 MeV to 3,000 GeV for the study of neutrino-physics using the data from underground neutrino-detectors. The atmospheric muon-flux at high altitude and at sea level is studied to calibrate the neutrino-fluxes at low energies and high energies respectively. The agreement of our calculation with observations is satisfactory. The uncertainty of atmospheric neutrino-fluxes is also studied.Comment: 51 page

Not AvailableDog ticksare the most widespread ticks in the world and are well-recognized vectors of many pathogens affecting dogs and occasionally humans. A total of 352 dogs of different breeds were examined for the presence of ticks from June 2009 to May 2011 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The collected ticks were identified as Rhipicephalussanguineus. The overall prevalence of ticks was 58.52pert. Among the seasons, highest prevalence of R. sanguineuswas observed in northeast monsoon (34.46pert) followed by southwest monsoon (30.10pert), summer (23.79pert) and lowest level in winter (11.65pert). Adultdogs were heavily infested with R. sanguineus ticks than the puppies (67.96 pert vs 32.04pert). Male dogs were highly infested (74.76pert) than the female dogs (25.24 pert). Among the breeds, Spitz was highly infested (28.16 pert) followed by mongrels (24.76pert), Labrador (17.48pert), German shepherd (12.44pert) and Doberman (4.37pert). Other breeds were infested with very low levels ranging from 0.49 pert to 2.43 pert. Hairy breeds (Spitz, Labrador, German shepherd, Lhasa Apso, Border collie, Golden Retriever and Pomeranian) were heavily infested with ticks (61.17 pert) than the non-hairy breeds (38.83 pert)Not Availabl
