Special Reference to Indian Universities International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE) ISSN: 2278-3075, Volume-9 Issue-1, November 2019 Biophysics Research Trends in India: Special Reference to Indian Universities Neha Munjal, Shiv Singh, Agnibha Das Majumdar, Gopal Rizal Abstract: Biophysics is an effervescent scientific field where There are many bibliometric studies on work of Indian theses scientists from many areas including chemistry, physics, zoology research [2-7] and different countries research [8-11]. Some of etc, use their skills to explore and develop new tools for these techniques have been applied to measure the understanding how the life sciences work. The objective of this productivity of biophysics thesis in India. paper is to present the preliminary results and to identify the growth and development of Indian research in Biophysics. The data was collected from Online Union Catalogue of Indian II. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY [1] Universities . The catalogue has 4,36,967 Ph.D theses from 317 The Ph.D. thesis is building blocks for the growth of the Indian universities. Indicators regarding the distribution records subject in any field of knowledge. So, the Indcat database was of Biophysics thesis, as well as the subject, supervisor, top University, state wise, keywords was analyzed with modular searched for records on Biophysics to analyses the growth of Scientometrics information system. The data comprises of 569 Biophysics in the India. The data were analyzed for tabulating theses out of which the majority was from West Bengal followed the decade wise, University wise, state wise, department wise, by Karnataka. The most contributor departments were Biophysics top keywords. followed by Physics Index Terms: III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Keywords: Biophysics, Indian Universities, Bibliometric, Physics, IndCat I. INTRODUCTION A bibliometric analysis is basically known as a quantitative method used to examine the knowledge structure and development of research fields based on analysis of related publications. This kind of work is a combination of science, technology and information. The analysis of the pursued researches in the any field is very valuable for an education policy maker as this kind of analysis gives the overviews of the areas which are neglected and over pursued. Now a day‟s field of physics is believed in co relational work for further Figure 1: Decade wise contribution improvement of the field. So, biophysics is that kind of field in which a co relational study between physics and biology can be done. The present paper, deals with the researches in the most basic field of science i.e. Biophysics. Biophysics is the particular field in which the theories and methods of physics is applied to understand the biological phenomena. Biophysics has been critical to understanding the mechanics of how the molecules of life are made, how different parts of a cell move and function, and how complex systems in our bodies like the brain, circulation, immune system, and other work. Biophysics is a vibrant scientific field where scientists from many fields including math, chemistry, Figure 2: Cumulative decade wise frequency of physics, engineering, pharmacology, and materials sciences, biophysics thesis use their skills to explore and develop new tools for Figure 1 reflects that from 1946 to 2016, there are 569 understanding how biology, all life, works. dissertations containing keyword „biophysics‟ out of these 569 theses, maximum studies were conducted in 1977-1986.

On the contrary to this, states like Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand have not contributed much in conducting studies in the areas of biophysics due to which it is hard to know the technological status of people living there. Therefore, it is suggested to do more studies in the above mentioned states.

  • The Saga of a Sage - Shiv Singh
    Gyankosh: An Interdisciplinary Journal ISSN : 2581-8252 Volume II, December 2019 THE SAGA OF A SAGE - SHIV SINGH Dr. Anju Bala “Engaged in work a day life, I wander in a dreamland of artistic creation: when in my bed I lie, I begin to sculpt, when I fall to sleep my sculpture is done and the destination I reached. Every day starts with a painting or a sculpture this setting out to unexplored regions, when the mysteries and wonders are revealed in completion, my destination is attained.” Shiv Singh Shiv Singh (b. 1938, village Bassi Gulam Hussain, Hoshiarpur - d. 2015, Panchkula) contributed in nurturing the art scenario of Chandigarh immensely. He was a bright alumnus of Govt. School of Art and Craft, Shimla who earned an international fame. He remained in touch with his mother land and his oeuvre gives the glimpses of the same. His sculptures are the expressions of the experiences of his life which he carved and sculpted on various mediums. For him Mother Nature was a great source of inspiration. Shiv Singh completed his education in art from Shimla and Chandigarh respectively. From 1958 to 1963 he studied in School of Arts and Crafts, Shimla but later when the School shifted from Shimla to Chandigarh in 1961 he also came to Chandigarh to complete his study in Government College of Art located in Sector 10 (at that time it was known as Government School of Art). While studying in Shimla he went through all the five sections of craft as the part of syllabus which were jewellery, wood work, metal ivory inlay, metal work and black smithy.1 He completed his diploma and immediately joined Sainik School in Kapurthala as an Art Teacher in 1963.

  • On the Morning of 13 March 1940, a Wednesday, Udham Singh Had Planned to Visit the India Office to See About Getting a Travel Endorsement for His Passport
    Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 13 (2) Fall 2018 Copyright © 2018 The Author(s) Article “THE TYPICAL GHADAR OUTLOOK”: UDHAM SINGH, DIASPORA RADICALISM, AND PUNJABI ANTICOLONIALISM IN BRITAIN (1938-1947) SILAS WEBB Syracuse University Abstract Punjabis in interwar Britain, who had migrated for economic opportunity but had been politicized during successive upheavals at home, admired Ghadar’s radical solidarities with nationalist and anticolonial movements. This article focuses on peripatetic Punjabi radicals, often working as pedlars and sailors, to enhance the current understanding of the vibrant relationship between the Ghadar Party and Punjabis in Britain. This article contextualizes Udham Singh’s martyrdom by examining the uses to which his name and image were put in radical publications. Furthermore, the Indian Workers’ Association, formed in the midst of the Second World War, was integral to articulating a Ghadarite anticolonialism in Britain, which was animated by the trial and memorialization of Udham Singh. Thus, this article argues that labor migration and the global transmission of Ghadar Party publications was integral to the Ghadar movement’s influence on the struggle against imperialism in Britain in the 1930s and 1940s. Keywords Udham Singh; Indian Workers' Association; anticolonialism; labor militancy; Britain; Punjab On the morning of 13 March 1940, a Wednesday, Udham Singh had planned to visit the India Office to see about getting a travel endorsement for his passport. But Sir Hassan Suhrawardy, advisor to the Secretary of State for India, was out, and Singh decided he had better things to do than queue for a colonial official. On his way out the door, he glanced at a notice about a joint meeting of the East India Association and the Central Asian Society being held later that day at the Caxton Hall in London.

  • A Soldier Remembers – a Memoir
    A Soldier Remembers – A Memoir At 93 years of age retired Lieutenant Colonel Pritam Singh Jauhal has the same intellect, wit and tenacity that he has had his entire life. Born in the village of Johal, District Jullundur, India around the year 1920, Pritam Singh caught glimpses of military life as a young boy and slowly grew up with the notion that serving one’s country was a great privilege and not a burden. It is this philos- ophy that Pritam Singh has held his entire life, from his thirty eight years of service for the British and Indian armies to his more recent life in Canada. In the 1970’s Canadian society was struggling with issues of race and racism based on a general ignorance among its citizen- ry. When Pritam Singh emigrated to BC, Canada in 1980 he felt shock and disbelief that a man of his caliber and military ranking would have to face a barrage of blatant racism. This discrimina- tion reached its climax during the Remembrance Day ceremo- nies of 1993 when Lieutenant Colonel Pritam Singh was denied entrance into the Surrey Newton Legion Branch because he was wearing a turban. True to his convictions and his Sikh faith, Pri- tam Singh waged a long and difficult struggle for Sikh veterans to be allowed to wear this key article of their faith in the Legion. This is the story of Pritam Singh’s struggle with the Legion in 1993, but it is also much more than that. This book chronicles the struggles and accomplishments of an immigrant Sikh-Canadian, and the lifelong service he has given to his community.
