“…Territorial disputes over the Kashmir region between India and Pakistan provide an increasingly high level of instability (10,11), and escalatory retaliation could result in the use of nuclear weapons (12). This study highlights the indirect food system consequences of a possible, limited nuclear war based on a previously published India-Pakistan scenario, assuming 5 Tg of soot injection derived from a direct relationship between population density and target-specific fuel load (7,13).…”

A limited nuclear war between India and Pakistan could ignite fires large enough to emit more than 5 Tg of soot into the stratosphere. Climate model simulations have shown severe resulting climate perturbations with declines in global mean temperature by 1.8 • C and precipitation by 8%, for at least 5 y. Here we evaluate impacts for the global food system. Six harmonized state-of-the-art crop models show that global caloric production from maize, wheat, rice, and soybean falls by 13 (±1)%, 11 (±8)%, 3 (±5)%, and 17 (±2)% over 5 y. Total single-year losses of 12 (±4)% quadruple the largest observed historical anomaly and exceed impacts caused by historic droughts and volcanic eruptions. Colder temperatures drive losses more than changes in precipitation and solar radiation, leading to strongest impacts in temperate regions poleward of 30 • N, including the United States, Europe, and China for 10 to 15 y. Integrated food trade network analyses show that domestic reserves and global trade can largely buffer the production anomaly in the first year. Persistent multiyear losses, however, would constrain domestic food availability and propagate to the Global South, especially to food-insecure countries. By year 5, maize and wheat availability would decrease by 13% globally and by more than 20% in 71 countries with a cumulative population of 1.3 billion people. In view of increasing instability in South Asia, this study shows that a regional conflict using <1% of the worldwide nuclear arsenal could have adverse consequences for global food security unmatched in modern history.food system shock | multiple breadbasket failure | cold temperature yield response | India-Pakistan conflict | global gridded crop model intercomparison (GGCMI)

“…False negatives are when you predict a negative observation, but it belongs to the class. These four outcomes are used to plot a confusion matrix [37][38][39][40][41]. The confusion, a type of binary classification, is a kind of table layout that includes actual values and models predicted values and compares them.…”

Every country is in some sort of rivalry with its neighboring countries. Military forces safeguarded people's lives day in and out. The forces are being placed in many zones near the hotspots of the border areas to fight off enemies. These zones are critical and challenging in many ways, which put the militia's life at risk. The main goal of this research is to save the militia's life. This paper proposes an Environment Condition-based Resource Allocation in Military (ECRAM), which helps in decision-making and in providing a report to aid the militia in a war zone. This ECRAM Model analyzes many factors like climatic condition, resource availability, and health status of the militants at the base station. It was implemented by comparing different machine learning approaches to analyze the appropriate one for the proposed model. Results show that the accuracy of prediction and decision-making with the random forest algorithm has outperformed with an accuracy of 94.4 percent.

“…The Kashmir dispute has been considered the "core of one of the most intractable conflicts in modern history" (Ganguly et al, 2019). Economic growth from 2004-2005 to 2013-2014 was 12% per annum, at least 2 percentage points lower than the national average; 10% of the population live below the poverty line (Bhandari, 2015;Government of India, 2011).…”

Our in-depth qualitative interviews with journalism graduate students and professors, from Kashmir, India, show that unlike the rest of India, the region experienced extremely low internet connectivity, and this combined with a lack of access to technology nearly brought classes to a standstill. But students and teachers, used to social disruptions, used the COVID-19 pandemic to learn and practice journalism that was deeply bound to the community and they created “circles of trust” that helped them overcome internet and other technical issues. Ramifications for journalism education in situations of low connectivity and poor technology resources are discussed.
