Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractI argue that from its beginning environmental philosophy has held two contrasting views of Eastern thought and of Indian philosophical and religious ideas in particular. Utilising the insights of Edward Said and others I find that these contrasting images are reflective of a duality according to which India has been constituted in Western discourse. I argue that these Western images of India remain a significant feature of writing concerning environmental ethics to the present time. As it appears in some recent scholarship in environmental ethics, this discourse remains an obstacle to an informed appreciation of the significance of Indian thought and of Asian thought more generally for environmental philosophy.

Texte intégralRésumé :
India is an ancient civilization with a multiethnic, multireligious and multilingual society. Freedom of thought and expression, democracy, nonviolence and tolerance form an integral part of Indian ethos. Since times immemorial these values have played an important role in the evolution of Indian civilization. As a result, India was able to absorb and assimilate alien cultures, religions and ideas, still retaining its distinctive identity. Because of this immense process of assimilation and absorption, Indian society is popularly called an ‘Indian Mosaic’. Today almost all possible religious, ethnic and cultural groups co-exist in India peacefully, making India the most pluralistic society in the world. Seventh largest in size, the country is home to over onesixth of humanity. In recent times India has been one of the fastest growing economies and in terms of purchasing power parity has been ranked as the fourth largest economic powerhouse in the world. Though pursuit of national interest remains the single most important guiding factor in determining a country’s foreign policy; national history, ethos and international realities are important factors impacting foreign policy imperatives. Therefore, at the very outset, I would like to briefly summarize the ancient Indian thoughts which have bearing on India’s foreign policy.

ABSTRACT Aim Labor dystocia is one of the commonest indications of lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Recent studies have shown a dramatic change in the rate of cervical dilatation and labor progress. There are no large studies to assess labor in this ethnic group and hence this study has been done to find out labor behavior in women with spontaneous labor in South India. Materials and methods A retrospective study was done in our teaching hospital. Labor was managed as per protocol and a partogram was maintained. Data were extracted from case-records and analyzed. Results Labor progress was much slower than what was thought of. There was wide variability in the duration of labor. Conclusion Many women took time up to the 95th percentile and some even crossed three times the median time to deliver. Clinical significance Though many women will deliver in the expected time, it is important to know the maximum time or the 95th percentile for each dilatation so that sufficient time can be allowed before labeling a case as prolonged labor.

Srinivas, Vedant. « Towards a Decolonial Cinematic Imagination : A Posthumanist Intervention ». Journal of Posthuman Studies 7, no 1 (juin 2023) : 70–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.5325/jpoststud.7.1.0070.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract When it comes to cinema, posthumanism has tended to focus explicitly on technology, machines, cyborgs, hybrids, and monsters. An alternative approach is sought in this article. First, the relationship between posthumanism and what is here called the “decolonial imagination” is elaborated upon. The two are then further related to a recent curatorial intervention in India called “Cinema of Prayōga,” which seeks to situate certain Indian filmmakers (and films) within a heterogeneous premodern tradition of philosophy and the arts. Also included is a brief discussion of colonial responses to Indian iconography, as well as evidence for a posthumanist strain in both Indian art and philosophy. The intention is to wrest cinema and posthumanist thought away from their exclusive reliance on Eurocentric frameworks, and thus pave the way for multiple and diverse imaginaries of thought. Such a questioning—of cinema’s very ontology and methodology—is bound to make for more fruitful connections between posthumanism, decolonialism, and cinema.

Misra, Maria. « Sergeant-Major Gandhi : Indian Nationalism and Nonviolent “Martiality” ». Journal of Asian Studies 73, no 3 (14 juillet 2014) : 689–709. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0021911814000485.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article takes issue with recent accounts of the evolution of Gandhian ideas that have stressed his importance as a global theorist of principled nonviolence. It suggests that throughout his life Gandhi's writings display a preoccupation with ideas of martial courage and fearlessness; his stance might best be defined as one of nonviolent “martiality” rather than nonviolence per se. His overriding goal was not to proselytize for global “ahimsa” (nonviolence) but to shape the Indian people into a nonviolent army that could wrest freedom from the colonizers. It explains this concern for both nonviolence and martial attitudes by arguing that Gandhi's thought has to be reassessed and placed within several important contexts: the widespread global popularity of militarism before 1914; an influential intellectual critique of Western “materialist” values; Asian nationalist efforts to develop “indigenous” forms of mobilizational politics in their struggles against imperialism; and Indian thinking about caste (varna), which was central to Gandhi's thought and has generally been neglected in the literature. These contexts help us to understand Gandhi's complex and sometimes contradictory thinking on the issue of violence.

Tyler, Elizabeth McManaman. « The Logic of Ambiguity ». Janus Head 18, no 1 (2020) : 14–29. http://dx.doi.org/10.5840/jh20201812.
Texte intégralRésumé :
While recent work on trauma provides insight into the first-person experience of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Aristotelian propositional logic, which underlies Western paradigms of thought, contains implicit ontological assumptions about identity and time which obscure the lived experience of PTSD. Conversely, Indian Buddhist catuskoti logic calls into question dualistic and discursive forms of thought. This paper argues that catuskoti logic, informed by Buddhist ontology, is a more fitting logical framework when seeking to describe and understand the first-person experience of PTSD, as it allows for ambiguity, non-duality, and polysemy.

Adams, Richard N. « Guatemalan Ladinization and History ». Americas 50, no 4 (avril 1994) : 527–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1007895.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Recent years have seen a significant increase in the use of history by social scientists. It is less and less common that studies in anthropology, sociology, and political science evaluate variables without attention to their antecedents. There still survive, however, concepts and theories built originally on synchronic assumptions. One of these theories, ladinization, has been the subject of considerable contention.“Ladinization” derives from “Ladino,” a term used in Guatemala and adjacent areas of Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras to refer to the non-Indian natives of those countries. I am not sure when “ladinization” entered the social science vocabulary, but it may have been with the work of North American anthropologists in the 1930s and 1940s. It described what observers thought of as a process whereby Indians were becoming Ladinos or more Ladino-like. The term was not favored by Guatemalan Ladinos, who generally spoke of “civilizing” the Indians, by which they meant that Indian customs should be discarded in favor of Ladino. In espousing this theme, Guatemalan indigenistas of the “generation of the 20s” often blurred the relation of race to culture; some argued that Indians were capable of being “civilized,” others that such changes could only be secured by introducing Europeans to interbreeding.

Volk, Sara M., Rubing Chen, Konstantin A. Tsetsarkin, A. Paige Adams, Tzintzuni I. Garcia, Amadou A. Sall, Farooq Nasar et al. « Genome-Scale Phylogenetic Analyses of Chikungunya Virus Reveal Independent Emergences of Recent Epidemics and Various Evolutionary Rates ». Journal of Virology 84, no 13 (21 avril 2010) : 6497–504. http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/jvi.01603-09.
Texte intégralRésumé :
ABSTRACT Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne alphavirus, has traditionally circulated in Africa and Asia, causing human febrile illness accompanied by severe, chronic joint pain. In Africa, epidemic emergence of CHIKV involves the transition from an enzootic, sylvatic cycle involving arboreal mosquito vectors and nonhuman primates, into an urban cycle where peridomestic mosquitoes transmit among humans. In Asia, however, CHIKV appears to circulate only in the endemic, urban cycle. Recently, CHIKV emerged into the Indian Ocean and the Indian subcontinent to cause major epidemics. To examine patterns of CHIKV evolution and the origins of these outbreaks, as well as to examine whether evolutionary rates that vary between enzootic and epidemic transmission, we sequenced the genomes of 40 CHIKV strains and performed a phylogenetic analysis representing the most comprehensive study of its kind to date. We inferred that extant CHIKV strains evolved from an ancestor that existed within the last 500 years and that some geographic overlap exists between two main enzootic lineages previously thought to be geographically separated within Africa. We estimated that CHIKV was introduced from Africa into Asia 70 to 90 years ago. The recent Indian Ocean and Indian subcontinent epidemics appear to have emerged independently from the mainland of East Africa. This finding underscores the importance of surveillance to rapidly detect and control African outbreaks before exportation can occur. Significantly higher rates of nucleotide substitution appear to occur during urban than during enzootic transmission. These results suggest fundamental differences in transmission modes and/or dynamics in these two transmission cycles.

Prior, Charles. « Beyond Settler Colonialism ». Journal of Early American History 9, no 2-3 (10 décembre 2019) : 93–117. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/18770703-00902013.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper offers a critical reflection on the appropriateness of ‘settler colonialism’ as an analytic category for understanding the political dynamics of early America. It argues that the paradigm’s focus on the elimination of the native obscures the resilience of Indian power, and the mechanisms by which that power was exercised and defended. The paper positions settler colonialism in recent treatments of the history of colonial political thought, and then presents diplomacy as a site of both sovereign formation and negotiation that enhanced the power of colonies as much as it preserved the power of Indian confederations. The final section of the paper suggests that the ‘interior’ sovereignty of Native Americans continued to shape the powers of the new republican order of states.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This survey of economic history emphasizes American Indians’ varied and varying responses to profit-oriented economic practices introduced by non-Indians. It depicts aboriginal Indian economies as diverse and dynamic though modeled on kin relations and reciprocity. European colonial settlements and Euro-Americans’ ultimate hegemony, fueled by commercial market relations and capitalist development, eventually undermined every indigenous population’s self-sufficiency. Most Indians consequently fell into poverty, but not for lack of strategic and sometimes rewarding engagement with the new market economy. Indians’ many adaptive strategies have included participation in commercial trade, wage labor, and manufacturing, often in order to supplement traditional subsistence practices and further Indian ideals. The chapter stresses that United States policies and law first facilitated the massive transfer of Indian land and resources to non-Indians, but that more recent policy changes and court rulings have enabled some Indians to recoup wealth by operating tribe-owned enterprises.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter examines the contested meanings of territoriality in decolonizing South Asia, building on recent scholarship on nationalist thought. It argues that when independence came, bringing with it the Partition of Punjab and Bengal, the spatial basis of the Indian and Pakistani nation-states was hardly stable. As the British colonial government prepared to withdraw, nationalists put forward competing visions of what independence could bring. Many of these visions had a difficult relationship with the idea of a national territory. The Indian National Congress sought a composite Indian national identity to hold together a vast and diverse region, while the Muslim League proposed a new entity called ‘Pakistan’, but with little clarity regarding the state’s location, extent or constitutional relationship to India. These territorial uncertainties provided the political context in which the Indus waters dispute became a matter of state sovereignty after independence.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter discusses India’s association with the United Nations. Guided by the vision of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, the country initially had a highly successful grand strategy guiding its foreign policy that placed that UN at the centre of its diplomatic efforts. Things took a sharp downward turn, however, during the administration of Indira Gandhi, and the relationship has lacked cohesion and meaningful direction ever since. In recent times, India has sought to become a permanent member of the Security Council and has relatedly but unsuccessfully attempted to wield influence, though large questions about its purpose and goals remain. Contemporary crises, though, now make the answers ever more urgent.

Sharma, Mukul. Eco-casteism. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199477562.003.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter examines some of the significant lines of environmental conceptions in India since the 1980s. It pays critical attention to caste and its expression or marginalization in environmental discourses. It attempts to show how Brahmanical religious traditions and their arguments have had a powerful resonance in India’s dominant environmental leanings. It intermeshes these with some of the recent criticisms made by Dalit scholars regarding India’s environmental thought. Through the particular case study of Sulabh International (founded by Bindeshwar Pathak), a prominent organization working on sanitation and rural development, the chapter further shows how a noteworthy, well-intentioned, and much celebrated environmental initiative for the abolition of scavenging (which is deeply related to the Hindu caste system) in India assumes a Hindu religious ecology.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Much of the recent surge in writing about the practice of nonviolent forms of resistance has focused on movements that occurred after the end of the Second World War, many of which have been extremely successful. Although the fact that such a method of civil resistance was developed in its modern form by Indians is acknowledged in this writing, there has not until now been an authoritative history of the role of Indians in the evolution of the phenomenon.The book argues that while nonviolence is associated above all with the towering figure of Mahatma Gandhi, 'passive resistance' was already being practiced as a form of civil protest by nationalists in British-ruled India, though there was no principled commitment to nonviolence as such. The emphasis was on efficacy, rather than the ethics of such protest. It was Gandhi, first in South Africa and then in India, who evolved a technique that he called 'satyagraha'. He envisaged this as primarily a moral stance, though it had a highly practical impact. From 1915 onwards, he sought to root his practice in terms of the concept of ahimsa, a Sanskrit term that he translated as ‘nonviolence’. His endeavors saw 'nonviolence' forged as both a new word in the English language, and as a new political concept. This book conveys in vivid detail exactly what such nonviolence entailed, and the formidable difficulties that the pioneers of such resistance encountered in the years 1905-19.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Despite the strong historical relationship between the early Indian Buddhist saṅgha and the merchant classes, Western scholars have for only a few decades explored in detail the deep and abiding connections between Buddhist ideas and practices and the broad sphere of human activity called ‘economics’. This chapter investigates the connections between Buddhist ethical teachings and economic ideas and practices, particularly in the context of modernity. After analysing the concept of ‘economics’ as it has been understood and employed in Western and Asian thought, it moves into a discussion of economic ethics for the Saṅgha and laypersons, both in the early tradition and in the East Asian cultural context. Finally, the chapter provides a critical examination of more recent attempts to formulate a ‘Buddhist economics’, focusing in particular on both the problems and possibilities of such in the work of E. F. Schumacher and P. A. Payutto.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Even though India’s engagement with the rest of the world has seen considerable expansion in the last two decades, the role of universities and think-tanks in shaping the contours of much of that engagement has been limited. The chapter explores the reasons behind the lack of influence or impact of these institutions in the foreign policy-making of the country. In doing so, it traces their historical trajectory and institutional evolution, outlines the state of research output generated by them, and brings into relief the lack of synergy between the academic, the policy, and the bureaucratic community. However, in recent times, there seems to be a course-correction with the government recognizing the importance of utilizing outside expertise from academia and think-tanks as India navigates the complex terrain of international relations in the coming years.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter examines the current nationalist thought in Assam and discourse on Bangladeshi migrants in the state. Assam which is known as a miniature of India, due to its ethnic diversity, has ongoing conflicts between the Bengali Muslims and various other ethnic groups. The formation of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), the Bengali Muslims’ party in Assam has increased the tension between Bengali Muslims, ethnic communities, and the Hindu nationalists in Assam. This chapter examines the consequences of these recent developments. The interviews with the AIUDF senior leader, representative from the Bengali Muslim community and Assam’s separatist group ULFA, the Hindu and ethnic nationalists, Congress MLA and the civil society members reveal the complex nature of migration from Bangladesh into Assam.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Chapter 3 analyzes English claims to a central role in a global network of indigenous and English people connected by faith around the world, claims made manifest in Of the Conversion of Five Thousand Nine Hundred Indians on the Island of Formosa, a 1650 publication by Baptist minister Henry Jessey, printed by radical bookseller Hannah Allen. It reports on Dutch missions in Taiwan, comparing them with evangelism efforts in New England. The coda considers the experiences of an Algonquian woman who is unnamed in Jessey’s tract but is identified as a basket maker, speculating on the meaning she may have encoded in her basket designs. Though we cannot “read” them directly, the fact that she made them, coupled with the provocative arguments offered by recent scholars about Native material culture in the colonial period, enables us to reconsider the print archive in which she appears.

Mo, Phyllis. Tax Avoidance and Anti-Avoidance Measures in Major Developing Economies. Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216022633.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Tax avoidance and evasion have an important effect on the economic development of every economy. Developing economies are particularly vulnerable to tax avoidance and evasion due to inadequacies in their institutional framework and the lack of sufficient expertise and resources to monitor the intricacies of this issue. Given the far-reaching effect of revenue losses due to tax noncompliance, many developing countries have undertaken tax reforms to improve their tax administration and implemented various anti-avoidance measures to combat tax evasion. This book provides an overview of recent tax reforms and institutional frameworks of four major developing economies, China, India, Brazil, and Mexico, with a focus on China. Most important, this book investigates the tax avoidance behaviors as well as their anti-avoidance legislation. In particular, this book includes an in-depth empirical study on tax noncompliance behaviors of foreign investors detected by the Chinese tax authorities. The empirical evidence on how tax policy and other corporate factors affect tax avoidance behavior helps public policy makers improve tax compliance through designing legislative and administrative measures. Though the findings pertain to China, the largest developing economy, the results should be a useful reference for other developing countries.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The chapter studies the intertwined topics of Empire, migration and race in the Hansard Corpus (1803–2005). The British Empire emerges as a prominent topic from the mid-nineteenth century, but rapidly recedes into insignificance in the two decades following World War II. Emigration dominates in the nineteenth century, whereas immigration takes over in the twentieth century. References to race remain frequent throughout, though in the context of two contrasting discourses. Older uses show a broad range of adjective + noun combinations classifying the ‘human race’ on the basis of geographical or physical characteristics (e.g. English race, Indian race, white/black/brown/yellow race) or evaluating groups within a colonialist ideology of white supremacy (e.g. backward/advanced races). Recent and contemporary use of the term is dominated by high-frequency nominal compounds belonging to the vocabulary of identity politics (e.g. race relations). The study situates itself at the interface of historical linguistics, colonial history and cultural studies. Methodologically, it raises the question of the future relationship between corpus linguistics and the Digital Humanities.

Texte intégralRésumé :
As Gurgaon expands horizontally and vertically, it continues to transition from farms to urban villages to a concrete maze. This photographic project documents the growth of Gurgaon a city recently developed near India's capital, Delhi. It is a booming financial and industrial center, home to most Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and has third highest per-capita income in India. As its advocates often like to point out, Delhi’s booming neighbor has 1,100 high-rises, at least 30 malls and thousands of small and big industries. On the other hand, as its detractors unfailingly like to note, the dust bowl’s population has grown two and a half fold, it has 12-hour power blackouts, and its groundwater would probably not last beyond this decade. Gurgaon's transformation began sometime around 1996, with the advent of Genpact, then a business unit of General Electric. Other multinational companies followed it slowly thereafter. It helped that the city was a few kilometers away from Delhi. Two decades on, Gurgaon is already "on its deathbed." From 0.8 million in 2001, the city is expected to reach a population of 6.9 million in 2031. It is speckled with glass buildings with curtain walls, and swish apartment blocks with Greco-Roman influences, but there is little water or power for them. These numbers alone don’t capture the lived reality of Gurgaon, though. The skyline that its older residents were accustomed to has completely disappeared. And yet on the periphery, one sees the "Unfinished City" growing. The landscapes and flora shouting; their sentiments brutalized by evictions and concrete. Slaughtered farms now seem witness to monstrosity with desolate faces and fading memories. Set in 2014 the project explores the ephemerality of Gurgaon’s glamor and defective town planning. Families had been displaced, laborers’ children were growing up on heaps of cement, and farmlands had turned into things of memories.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This chapter surveys the Bengali writer Mahasweta Devi’s influential and less-remarked texts, including her novels, short stories, and nonfiction. Utilizing Sisir Kumar Das’s notion of Indian literature as a dialogic formation, it situates Mahasweta’s retelling of regional, national, and world history—such as her sprawling historical fiction ignored by most critics—with particular attention to literary form and experiments with style and idiom. Translated into multiple Indian languages, Mahasweta’s writings signal an awareness of what is here termed Indian literature from below; departing from recent discussions that view Indian literature as an offshoot of 19th-century orientalist discourse, this chapter illuminates an ebullient strand of decolonizing intellectual thought and practice that in remarkable ways reworks classical and premodern traditions and juxtaposes folk-popular culture with the global modernist avant-garde. In doing so, it bridges the gap between urban educated classes and marginalized populations in India: anti-state rebels, women, Dalits, and Adivasis.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This chapter adopts a cultural history approach, surveying the contesting of Tilak’s memory in the Indian public sphere since his death, giving rise to a range of bitterly disputed contemporary readings. Through this it also contextualizes the historiography on Tilak, while illustrating the porous boundaries between official, popular, and academic accounts. Beginning with Tilak’s remarkable initial remembrance as national ‘founding father’ from 1920 within India and its diaspora, and the relevance of the ‘charismatic’ suffering of his sedition imprisonments for this, it then describes Gandhi’s appropriation of Tilak’s memory, and the subsequent remembering of Tilak as Gandhian; and then details how Tilak’s endorsement of violence was conversely celebrated by many, particularly on the emergent Hindu right in 1920s Maharashtra, helping to posthumously cement his credentials as a Hindutva ideologue, while therefore necessitating a reworking of his ideas. Non-Brahmin political organization, and women’s activism, have helped to concentrate popular and academic attention upon his ‘casteist’, ‘Arya-supremacist’ politics, and his gendered understanding of Indian society; and there has been a partly responsive move to insisting that Tilak was simply a ‘legendary social reformer’. As the post-independence state has used Tilak’s patriotic memory for legitimation, others have instead used him to critique and resist state power. But criticism of Tilak on grounds of religious politics or ‘extremism’ has become more strenuously resisted, and critics (or even textbooks) silenced, in recent years, contemporaneous with the growth in power of the Hindu right, potentially increasing the influence of a specific vision of his politics today.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The field of positive psychology is a relatively recent addition to the research agenda of Indian psychologists. This chapter comprehensively examines the themes pursued in this field. It begins with an overview of the Indigenous Indian thought in terms of the insights it offers for positive psychology. Research studies on meanings and sources of happiness and interventions for the promotion of well-being are analysed. Key challenges to the growth of positive psychology are identified and a general framework for research is offered. In particular, attention is drawn towards the nature of research questions, scope for cultural contributions, nuances of research designs and expansion of the methodological repertoire. As the thoughts and intentions are coloured with the hues of emotions and get reflected in language, psychologists have to be sensitive to the linguistic diversity and nuances of verbal expressions across different regions of India.

Texte intégralRésumé :
There are numerous secondary plant metabolites found in the crop B. juncea, especially glucosinolates. Isothiocyanates, the by-products of glycosinolate breakdown, are beneficial to human health. A number of studies have also called attention to phenolic compounds and carotenoids, both well known for their anti-oxidant properties. A notable feature is that the profiles and concentrations of secondary plant metabolites vary greatly between varieties and that genetic factors are thought to be the most significant factors. In addition, environmental and agronomic factors have also been noted to change the concentrations of secondary plant metabolites. Secondary plant metabolites are primarily produced for defense purposes. Consequently, the intrinsic quality of Indian mustard, including color, aroma, taste, and medicinal properties, is profoundly influenced by its secondary metabolite profile. The health benefits of glycosinolates and the cancer prevention properties of their breakdown products make them of specific interest. Plant cells that have been injured undergo enzymatic decomposition of glucosinolate by endogenous enzymes such as myrosinase, which releases degradation products such as nitriles, epithionitriles, or isothiocyanates. The main phenolic compounds found in B. juncea are flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives. A diverse secondary metabolite pool is also essential for plant-environment interactions.

Recent study depicts that only 10% MBA graduates in India are employable due to lack of employability skills and excess supply. In a mad rush of the Indian B-Schools to match up with the industry standards for placements, they have ignored to incorporate a few crucial aspects as a part of their curriculum viz: pedagogies imparting practical knowledge to the MBA students and Employability Skills like Soft Skills, Communication Skills in English, Image Management and also ways to test their troubleshooting capabilities. Instead focus is on extending regular dose of theoretical knowledge in classrooms, which is often restricted to solving case studies from the prescribed text books. Serious re-thought needs to be given by the academic leaders of the B-schools, allied universities and the regulatory bodies to the revamping of the currently prescribed curriculum and pedagogy, in order to produce graduates who are skilled global leaders.

Gone are the days when attracting quality students for admissions used to be a cake walk. Nowadays, the admission process particularly for business schools has become a herculean task as it incurs lot of challenges even for prestigious ones. Nevertheless, there are multiple factors likely to impact thought process of prospective candidates while choosing appropriate B-schools like placement track, infrastructure, and quality of faculty, accreditation, ranking, etc. This chapter reviews marketing drives adopted by business schools as an attempt to stand out and differentiate them in a crowded and volatile market and attract students worldwide. The chapter also deals with range of marketing initiatives undertaken by B schools in recent times to attract potential students. Considering the relevance of adapting to the changing market forces, the purpose of this chapter is to analyze innovative strategies adopted by business school in the Indian context. Methodology adopted in the paper is conceptual and analytical. Suggestions are proposed at the end of chapter.

Texte intégralRésumé :
To prevent the public from pandemic Covid’19 the government of India has started the vaccination from mid of January 2021. The government has approved the two vaccines, Covishield from the university of Oxford and Covaxin from Bharat Biotech.The vaccination started with frontline workers and is further extended to common public prioritizing the elders of above 60 years and people aged 45 years above with co morbidities. Though many people have got benefitted from it there is still a group of people not convinced with the vaccination. We have carried out this work to analyze those Indian people sentiments on the vaccines through the hash tags of tweets. The results show that though majority of the community has a positive belief on the vaccines but some of them still express negative emotions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
After the annexation of Georgia by Russia in early XIX century, the number and relative share of diaspora in the territory of Georgia grew steadily. It was one of the directions of the implementation of Russian policy in the Caucasus region that continued until the Second World War and was then followed by the process of slow reduction of the share of diasporas in the entire population, which accelerated exponentiallyin the post-Soviet period after the restoration of the independence of Georgia. The reason for this is that due to the disastrous deterioration of the living conditions, diasporas tend to go abroad at a higher pace than the representatives of the autochthonous Georgian and Abkhazian ethnicities do. The reduction of the number of diasporas was influenced by the process of integration of diasporas into the Georgian ethnos. In the post-Soviet period, the number of population of the main autochthonous Georgian ethnicity decreased by 512 thousand people, i.e. 13.5%, while the number of Abkhazians increased by 30%, and the total number of diasporas decreasedby 2.5 times. Great changes have taken place in the demographic structure of diasporas that was manifested in the aging of all diasporas. In the period of 1989-2014, the median age in the Russian diaspora increased from 36.7 years to 48.8 years, among Armenians - from 30.5 to 38.4 years, among Azerbaijanis - from 23.5 to 32.2 years, and in the total population of Georgia- from 30.7 to 37.7 years. In the post-Soviet period, Turkish, Arab, Iranian, Indian and Chinese diasporas were formed and tend to increase. The economic and cultural advancement of Georgia that occurred in the recent period provides a fertile ground for attracting the population of Asian countries for migration purposes. It becomes necessary to regulate immigration flows with a carefully thought - out policy. Keywords: Georgia, Diaspora, Ethnos, Population.

<p>Indian sub-continent is subjected to many severe windstorms and the Indian coastal belt, especially the east coast is threatened by cyclones that have been known to cause damage to structures. However, the root cause of the damage cannot often be equated to high wind speeds exceeding the standard prescribed design wind speeds; but rather linked to lack of maintenance, poor workmanship, improper standard provision application, and poor standard enforcement.</p><p>Note that the frequency of occurrence and associated intensity of storms are the key data required to determine the design speed at a specified risk level with confidence. The lack of cyclone data measurements at landfall is a serious anomaly worldwide including in India, which hinders the development of design speed with confidence. Advanced tropical cyclone wind simulation models have been successfully developed for some tropical cyclone-prone regions.</p><p>In our recent studies, the design wind speeds corresponding to various risk levels were determined based on (i) the number of years of full-scale measurements from airports, (ii) numerically simulated data, as well as (iii) the fast-predictive cyclone wind hazard model. Based on all these studies, it is proven that the current recommended cyclonic factor (k4) in IS 875 (Part 3) will make the wind speed overly conservative. In summary, though the number of storms is on the rise in India, climate change is not warranted to increase the wind speed; at least in the coastal zones yet.</p>

Raval, Dr Neha. « The Labour Market Behaviour of Working-Age Women in Surat City ». Dans 2nd International Conference on Women. iConferences (Pvt) Ltd, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.32789/women.2023.1004.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract: Female labour force participation has always been associated with the socioeconomic development of a country. India being one of the most progressive economies of recent times, it is important to understand gender parity in the workforce of the country and its implications, especially for the strata of highly educated individuals. Though many studies examine female labour force participation in India, the need for domestic study is recommended considering the unique socio-economic fabric of that place. Surat being one of the major economic hubs of western India, understanding labour market behaviour of highly educated working-age women in this city brings fresh prospective to the labour market potential for the future economic progress of the city. This study examines the labour market behaviour of highly educated working-age women from Surat city with reference to social, economic, academic, and infrastructural factors. The present study being descriptive in nature, data were collected from 796 female respondents, working-age women (16–59 years) from Surat city. Data were collected through a digital survey from women who have received a graduation, master, or more than a master degree from Surat city. Though the women respondents included in this study had a high education level, 34.6% of highly educated women are still not working. In social factors, gaining financial independence (55%) turned out to be one of the major driving forces for being a part of labour force; in financial factors, having financial independence (55%) and the responsibility to run a family (24.3%) turned out to be major reasons to work. 63.2% of respondents recommended the need for a more practical-oriented course structure for higher education degrees. 16.8% of respondents are not satisfied with the infrastructure facilities available at the workplace. Though it is difficult to alter the socio-economic fabric of the place, offering relatively equal pay, female-friendly HR policies, and appropriate infrastructural facilities can encourage highly educated females to be a part of the labour force.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Education is of utmost importance for social development and political change, regardless of whether it is dispensed through conventional, non-conventional or ODL mode. The Indian ODL system, geared toward this philosophy, is the second largest ODL system in the world, comprising 17 open universities and 110+ dual-mode distance education institutions. The Staff Training and Research Institute of Distance Education (STRIDE) of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) undertakes training needs assessment (TNA) studies from time to time for addressing the training needs of the ODL faculty in the country, (besides offering a PG Diploma and a Masters in DE as long-term professional development programmes, which at one point of time was offered in about 22 countries, largely supported by the Commonwealth of Learning). Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the education sector to adopt changes in teaching-learning. Even though the adaptation of technologies started in the field of education prior to the pandemic, the educational institutions including ODL institutions had to go through compulsory remote online teaching during this period. It was thought prudent to undertake a TNA of ODL teachers during this pandemic and compare the variations in their training needs, which was conducted in pre-pandemic times. This paper reports the findings of a research focusing on the identification of training needs of teachers/ academics from IGNOU; their preferences on mode of training; and any difference in additional required competency during pre- and ongoing-pandemic. The data collected in January-February 2022 has been compared with the data collected in the pre-pandemic period of 2019, and implications for policy and practice on continuing professional development in ODL are drawn accordingly.

The manufacturing industry has experienced an unprecedented degree of change in the highly competitive and dynamics manufacturing scenario. Recent competitive trends have been pushing manufacturing executives to reconsider the impact and importance of increasing equipment availability and utilization, maintenance productivity and resource utilization, and increasing quality and responsiveness of maintenance services in meeting overall goals to achieve World Class status. TPM has been envisioned as an effective tool in the quest for achieving the world class status and meeting the ever increasing competition. This paper elaborates the contribution of TPM implementation towards improvement in organizational behavior in the Indian process industry in the quest to attain world-class competitiveness and sustainability efforts. The case study of TPM implementation though team building in Indian process industry has been brought out through the presentation of TPM benefits at the Hot Strip Mill division at a steel manufacturing company. The various aspects of TPM implementation have also been illustrated with the help of a case study.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Language archives are not only a valuable resource for language communities to tell their stories and to create lasting records of their ways of life, but also for those interested in anthropology, linguistics, agriculture, or art history. This recent emphasis on archiving primary datasets in linguistics has resulted in an abundance of datasets online; however, of the languages of South Asia, only a small percentage are represented in digital language archives or described thoroughly. Though several of these languages are being documented, this material is at risk of being lost or inaccessible without concerted attention paid to long-term preservation. There are several obstacles to documenting and archiving language materials from this area, including political instability and lack of access to infrastructure. This submission reviews one particular challenge to data management relevant to South Asia, which is the complexity of names (of individuals, groups, and languages). We provide examples from Northeast India and recommendations based on experience from CoRSAL (Computational Resource for South Asia).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Cities are growing at a phenomenal pace and the speed has created a huge gap between the urban dwellers and nature. Though development of cities are driven by many economic factors and ecological driving factors are acknowledged in recent times, water resources still lack importance. The significance of urban water bodies are mainly in two ways: one is to help the survival of the water dependent ecosystem and landscape and the other is to recharge the water beneath the ground. Since ancient times water had a great role in human culture in many ways through rituals and lifestyle, especially in India. Creating huge man made reservoirs, for agriculture and day to day uses. Unfortunately, in recent times anthropogenic activities have created the worst phase of degradation of natural resources and mainly water. So as an urban designer there is a great social responsibility and commitment for building up a better and healthy city have a key role in integrating such natural resources positively with the newly heading urbanized world.In this study an attempt to make a qualitative analysis of the current scenario of urban ponds in Trivandrum has been made.

Samuel, Liji. « TRANSFORMING THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM : THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE HEALTHCARE DICHOTOMY IN INDIA IN THE ERA OF DIGITAL HEALTH ». Dans International Conference on Public Health. The International Institute of Knowledge Management, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.17501/24246735.2020.6103.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Digital health initiatives have become popular in all jurisdictions across the globe. The digital health move, though it is envisioned as a cost-effective way to ensure the availability of health care services especially for the people who live in rural areas, its success depends on the response of the health care system and the state control and regulation. India lacks a comprehensive statesponsored or state-regulated health care system and more than 70 percent of people utilise the private sector medical services. In this backdrop, the implementation of the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM), announced by the Government of India very recently, will be critical. Thus, this research paper strives to bring out the public-private disjunction in the availability and utilisation of public and private health care facilities, issues of health care financing and legal regulation of clinical establishments in the public and private sector. This study uses the doctrinal method and analyses the Five-Year Plans, National Sample Survey Reports, National Health Profile, National Health Accounts Estimates for India and other Government Reports and independent studies to detail the public-private dichotomy. However, this study finds limitations in presenting the current position of private health care service providers due to the unavailability of updated authoritative government reports/ studies/ surveys. On reviewing the currents trends in the public and private health care sector, the study finds that the private sector has surpassed the public sector in all means, including health provisioning, utilisation, and financing. The NDHM is a laudable initiative to ensure affordable health care to millions of people in India. However, any move to implement it, leaving the fundamental issue of deep-rooted public-private dichotomy existing in the healthcare sector will be detrimental. It will result in a digital divide in the public and private healthcare sector and gross violation of patients’ rights and mismanagement of health information. Keywords: digital health, National Digital Health Mission, private healthcare sector, utilisation of healthcare service

Sam, Srimanta, Neel Kant et Sujoy S. Hazra. « Development of API 5L X70 Grade Steel Through Thin Slab Casting and Rolling Process ». Dans ASME 2019 India Oil and Gas Pipeline Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/iogpc2019-4519.
Texte intégralRésumé :
API 5L grade steel is mainly used for oil and gas transportation. The economy of gas transportation via pipeline demands for high operating pressures and large pipe diameters in order to improve transportation capacity which requires heavy thickness and/or high grade of the steel. This pushed the steelmakers to develop high strength steels (HSS) with superior metallurgical and mechanical (strength, toughness and ductility) properties in order to allow exploitation in hostile environments. The technology of production of API 5L grade through conventional thick slab process is matured enough as it gives flexibility of using higher %C, lower casting speed, high slab thickness (200–250 mm), higher reheating temperature and time, high reduction etc. However due to slower cooling rate during liquid to γ transformation, possibilities of centerline segregation defect increases. Thin slab technology (TSCR), on the other side allows a reduction in energy consumption (because of lower slab thickness and elimination of reheating process), with consequent benefits in terms of production costs and pollution reductions. But producing API X65 and above though TSCR route with subzero impact and DWTT is a challenge because of the difficulties in achieving a refined and homogeneous microstructure due to lower reduction ratio from slab to finish sheet thickness. This paper aims to give an overview of recent developments of high strength pipe steel grades as API 5L X70 through TSCR route. Information regarding the metallurgy and processing, such as chemical composition, microstructural design, thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) and accelerated cooling process (AcC), to achieve the target strength, ductility and toughness properties are discussed. Mechanical properties are well above the requirement of X70 at HR stage as well as after pipe formation. Excellent Impact and DWTT is achieved up to −40° C.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study documents the size and nature of boy-girl and Hindu-Muslim gaps in childrens school participation and attainments in India. Individual-level data from two successive rounds of the National Sample Survey suggest that considerable progress has been made in decreasing the Hindu-Muslim gap. Nonetheless, the gap remains sizable even after controlling for numerous socioeconomic and parental covariates, and the Muslim educational disadvantage in India today is greater than that experienced by girls and Scheduled Caste Hindu children. A gender gap still appears within as well as between communities, though it is smaller within Muslim communities. While differences in gender and other demographic and socio-economic covariates have recently become more important in explaining the Hindu-Muslim gap, those differences altogether explain only 25 percent to 45 percent of the observed schooling gap.
