Siachen must be the strategically most bizarre and futile struggle in the world. Only India and Pakistan would waste lives and hundreds of crores of rupees on it every year. Some in the military argue that controlling Siachen is vital for the security of Kashmir and that Indian presence at Siachen usefully threatens the China-Pakistan Karakoram Highway. Given that hardly anyone can move through the glacier with falling into a crevasse or bursting his lungs and given that the Karakoram Highway is 200 km away, this is absurd. The Pm should forthrightly tell the military that this is complete strategic nonsense and that we should stop sacrificing the lives of jawans in this absurdity. India and Pakistan need to add substance to mostly symbolic diplomacy. Siachen would be a good place to being the march towards substance. Pakistan, for its part, must unequivocally give India MN status. Sir Creek Should be next on the list of substantial problem solving; this also was nearly solved in 1993. Then PM and his Pakistani counterpart need to shore up symbolic with real courage and resolve what is resolvable to create the base the base for a Kashmir settlement in the future.

The investigators will use network analytic approaches to perform a rigorous examination of the role that this interconnection plays in the genesis of the observed. This work will enable future improvements in the structuring of impatient team, rapid response systems, and their responses to patients' need . The Investigators will draw upon the existing dataset of over thousand RRT activation to understand how events in one patient influence the risk for subsequent events in others. Aim will be to create very large dataset that includes both patient level and care team characteristics. The investigators have previously built a very large , patient-level RRT activation dataset. They will now apply network analysis methods developed by their group to existing dataset. These methods use data stored in the electronic health record to ascertain the care and social networks involved in each patient's care. The investigators will process the resulting network dataset to identify important characteristics that qualify the size and identity.

Q. What will be the benefits of network analytics approaches?
