The Uttarakhand State, known for its Himalayan Mountains, is a territory in Northern India that is extremely vulnerable to earthquakes, landslides, and floods. Currently, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, India is facing the dual challenge of containing a pandemic and responding to natural disasters. This situation can have a negative impact on the health and the economic development of the region, leading to a long-lasting humanitarian crisis that can disrupt even more, the already overburdened health service. In addition, it can pose serious threats to the wellbeing of the population as it complicates physical distancing and other COVID-19 prevention measures. It is of utmost importance to analyse the impact of floods, landslides, and COVID-19 pandemic on the health system of the Uttarakhand State, and how these crises interact with each other.

Chimp optimization algorithm (CHOA) is a recently developed nature-inspired technique that mimics the swarm intelligence of chimpanzee colonies. However, the original CHOA suffers from slow convergence and a tendency to reach local optima when dealing with multidimensional problems. To address these limitations, we propose TASR-CHOA, a twofold adaptive stochastic reinforced variant.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer potential for discovering genomic regions that can be exploited to increase milk production. However, available GWAS and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets are heavily skewed towards taurine breeds, which restricts their utility for genomic research in indicine cattle breeds. This study conducts a GWAS on the Badri breed of Indicine cattle to estimate variance components and identify significant variants associated with milk composition traits, utilizing double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing data.
