Full textAbstract:
Diesel plays a very important role in rapid depletion of conventional energy sources along with increasing demand and also major contributors of air pollutants. Diesel is used in the present days for engines and the invention of an alternative or a blend to the conventional diesel seems very essential to the energy crisis. Major portion of today's energy demand in India is with fossil fuels. Hence it is high time that alternate fuels for engines should be derived from indigenous sources. As India is an agricultural country, there is a wide scope for the production of corn oil from the germ of corn (maize). In this experiment, an attempt has been made to investigate four types of fuels are considered 100% Diesel, 90% Diesel+10% Corn oil Methyl Ester, 80% Diesel+20% Corn oil Methyl Ester, 70% Diesel+30% Corn oil Methyl Ester and 60% Diesel+40% Corn oil Methyl Ester. The various performance parameters like, brake thermal efficiency, Mechanical efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption were measured and analyzed. In the experiment it found the biodiesel blends gives comparable performance to diesel.

RÉSUMÉLe système de classification des malades Resource Utilization Groups III (RUG-III) est un indice de composition de la clientèle élaboré aux États-unis pour classer les pensionnaires des maisons de soins infirmiers et le financement des services de soins en établissement. À Hong Kong, RUG III est basé sur plusieurs groupes de pensionnaires. Le but de la présente étude était d'examiner la fiabilité et la validité de RUG III dans les maisons de soins infirmiers de Hong Kong. Une enquête transversale a été effectuée dans sept établissements de soins de longue durée exploités par une seule agence. Les pensionnaires (n=1 127) ont été évalués selon un ensemble minimal de données et aussi de soins, et le temps passé par le personnel auxiliaire à la dispense des soins a été consigné durant deux semaines avant ou après la fin de l'évaluation de l'ensemble minimal des données. Un évaluateur indépendant a rencontré de nouveau 45 des 1 127 résidents afin d'évaluer le coefficient d'objectivité. Le coefficient d'objectivité de l'évaluation de l'ensemble minimal des données était excellent (Kappa=0,76) et le RUG III initial a compté pour quelque 30 pour cent du temps du personnel infirmier. Les résultats apportent une preuve préliminaire permettant d'étayer que RUG III est un indice fiable et valide de la composition de la clientèle des maisons de soins infirmiers de Hong Kong, mais il faudra effectuer d'autres études afin de réduire la variance de l'utilisation des ressources expliquée par cet indice de composition de la clientèle.

Introducción: Numerosos estudios han documentado la incidencia de los riesgos psicosociales, y particularmente, del desgaste psíquico en la salud de los trabajadores. No obstante, las mujeres en condición de vulnerabilidad social no han sido objeto de exploración. Objetivo: Caracterizar el desgaste psíquico de una muestra de mujeres vulnerables. Materiales y métodos: Estudio exploratorio, descriptivo, correlacional. Se aplicó la dimensión número 4 de la Batería para el estudio de las condiciones de trabajo de carácter psicosocial (CTCPS-MAC), que evalúa desgaste psíquico y 3 factores particulares (respuesta cognitiva-emocional; respuesta conductual y respuesta fisiológica), a 99 mujeres vulnerables de Zapotlán el Grande. Resultados: Un 75,8 % de las participantes presentaron condiciones óptimas con calificaciones entre bueno y muy bueno, el 24,2% entre normal y nocivo, lo cual indica que requieren ayuda inmediata. El factor más afectado fue el número 1, respuesta cognitivo-emocional, el 52,5% presentó sintomatología negativa. No se encontraron asociaciones significativas entre las variables sociodemográficas estudiadas y el desgaste psíquico. Conclusiones: Los resultados permiten abrir puertas para investigaciones más profundas con la población estudiada con el fin de garantizar salud mental, y calidad de vida en las mujeres en estado de vulnerabilidad social de Zapotlán el Grande.

Introducción: Frente al creciente problema de obesidad infantil, en Colombia se han realizado avances en el marco legislativo, como la ley 1355 de 2009, la cual indica que las instituciones educativas deben ofertar frutas y verduras a los escolares. Objetivo: Describir la aplicación de la ley 1355 de 2009 frente a la oferta de frutas y verduras en instituciones educativas del municipio de Soledad-Atlántico. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Se encuestaron 18 directivos docentes: 12 coordinadores y 6 directores, mediante un formulario estructurado, y se hizo observación directa de la disponibilidad de frutas y verduras en las tiendas escolares, contrastando ambos aspectos. Resultados: 8/18 encuestados manifestó conocer la ley 1355; 11/18 indicaron que en su escuela existe un encargado de liderar programas relacionados con alimentación saludable; en 50% de las Instituciones se han adelantado programas de alimentación saludable; 15/18 (83,3%) respondieron que sí hay disponibilidad de frutas y verduras en las tiendas escolares, pero esto se evidenció solamente en una de las 18 Instituciones (5,6%). Conclusión: Se debe mejorar la disponibilidad de frutas y verduras en las tiendas escolares y lograr un empoderamiento de directivos, docentes, padres de familia y estudiantes, en aras de disminuir las cifras de obesidad.

Full textAbstract:
One promising traditional industry slated for revival in late colonial India was carpet weaving. Characterized by low technology, high product value, and strong demand, carpets appealed for obvious economic reasons, while simultaneously evoking India's luxurious artisanal past. In western India, carpet weaving was centered in jails where convicts produced high-quality rugs using historic designs in prison factories that served as laboratories for redefining penal labor and traditional design under the eyes of the colonial state. For, even as they were poised at the center of new exchange networks of design ideas, jail factories also claimed practical economic goals: to earn money for jails, train convicts in new skills and habits, and build India's productive potential in a time of economic malaise. As such, they provide an ideal site for examining the economic context for the emerging design industry, and for limitations of colonial visions of the Indian economy.

Abstract Simplified sewerage provides an improved alternative to single user on-site options in peri-urban areas in India, and contributes to the aim of reducing the need for human handling of waste (manual scavenging), and the Government's goal of making India open defecation free by 2019. This research develops a mixed methodologies approach to design, optimise and assess failure risk for a proposed installation in a village in India. A steady state simplified sewerage model was used to do the initial design which was further modelled in DRAINET, a numerical model traditionally used for building drainage systems. The input data for DRAINET were obtained from a detailed survey carried out on site, which included usage pattern and focus group data. A total of 106 properties were included in the design and the survey. Test runs were carried out for the whole site over a 12-hour period. All main pipe runs were 100 mm diameter and set to a gradient of 1:100. A risk model was developed and applied to the DRAINET results which confirmed that the design operated effectively; however, there were areas of concern at the extremities of the site, which required additional flow boosting devices or gradient changed.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the concept of defining the responsibilities of the business and engaging them to perform their social duties. CSR is a not an Indian concept but a global one. World’s Richest man, Bill Gates, is also a great philanthropist who and his wife jointly run, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Richest family of India, Reliance, runs Reliance Foundation whose chairperson is Mrs. Neeta M Ambani. This spirit is to be ignited in all the business houses and companies of India and for this in 2014 Government of India passed the law to include CSR as a compulsory contribution made by the eligible companies, as defined in section 135 of Companies Act 2013. The paper studies the evolution and development of CSR in India in its present form.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a composição florística das ruas de Boa Vista-RR, visando sugerir o plantio de espécies de forma equitativa nas ruas da cidade. Realizou-se o cadastro censitário e identificação das espécies presentes nas ruas de Boa Vista. Em seguida, a cidade foi dividida em zonas administrativas, com intuito de quantificar e qualificar a arborização de ruas em cada uma delas. Foram contabilizados 6.907 indivíduos de 91 espécies diferentes, distribuídas em 72 gêneros pertencentes a 31 famílias botânicas. Observou-se que aproximadamente 54% são de espécies exóticas e 46% são nativas do Brasil. Verificou-se que Syzygium malaccense, Licania tomentosa e Ficus benjamina estão com frequências superiores à recomendada na cidade. A divisão administrativa da cidade mostrou que em cada zona as espécies: Paquira aquatica, Mangifera indica, Handroanthus ochraceus e Poincianella pluviosa estão em percentagens superiores ao recomendado. Conclui-se que o cadastro censitário e a subdivisão da cidade em zonas administrativas permitem melhor análise da distribuição e composição de espécies da arborização de ruas de uma cidade. Recomenda-se a realização de plantios de espécies com menor frequência e bem adaptadas ao ambiente urbano para promover a diversidade na cidade.

Resumo Com base no estudo etnográfico do Jardim Maravilha, loteamento periférico do Rio de Janeiro, o artigo alveja dois objetivos: entender o lugar da casa no modo como os moradores da periferia se apropriam do tempo e do espaço; e revelar o potencial heurístico do conceito de agenciamento (Deleuze & Guattari). Discute inicialmente os conceitos de mobilidade, mostrando como o confronto entre eles e as práticas da casa levam à formulação de um novo: a mobilidade intensiva. Em seguida, trata de urbanização e autoconstrução sob o ângulo das práticas (bricolagem infraestrutural) e dos discursos nativos (progresso), os quais apontam para uma apropriação pragmática do mundo (agenciamento territorial), mas também “intensa”: a expressão “aos poucos”, em particular, indica uma vida vivida de forma lenta, regular e discreta, por contiguidade - aos poucos, amplia-se a casa, asfalta-se mais uma rua. Conclui com os desdobramentos analíticos da abordagem proposta.

Purpose Using annual data from 1970 to 2013 for China and India, this paper aims to examine the impact of globalization and financial development on economic growth by endogenizing capital and inflation and drawing comparisons between the two fastest growing emerging market economies. Design/methodology/approach In the long run, co-integration test results indicate that financial development increases economic growth in China and India. Findings The results also reveal that globalization accelerates economic growth in India but, surprisingly, impairs economic growth in China, as it increases competition for exports. The results furthermore disclose that acceleration in capitalization and inflation, as a proxy for aggregate demand, are positively linked to economic growth in China and India. Originality/value Causality test results indicate that both financial development and economic growth are interdependent. In contrast, causality runs from higher economic growth to increased globalization in India, while the results do not support long-term causality between globalization and economic growth in China.

The great cognitive effort and the requirements derived from the contact with people in condition of sickness and suffering cause stress and anxiety that affect the experience and the quality of life of the nurse in training. Objective: To determine the level of subjective perception of quality of life in nursing students from a public university. Materials and methods: A correlational descriptive study was performed with 112 active nursing students during the period of August and December, 2014. The sociodemographic data survey and the GENCAT Scale of Quality of Life were used. Results: The average index of subjective perception of quality of life was 106, which shows good appreciation of the current life condition. The best assessed dimension was Rights with 87.1% and the one with the lowest score was Physical well-being with 77.3 %. The student considers of greatest impact and importance the accompaniment, emotional and spiritual support from a solid support network throughout the course of his or her training period over the financial stability or the material acquisition capacity he or she can have.

Can strikes by resident doctors training to become consultants in Indian public-sector teaching hospitals be ethical? These hospitals were established for the medical care of the very poor in a country where health insurance and a national health service are nonexistent. In such a situation, the paralysis of tertiary healthcare centers by striking doctors runs contrary to the raison d'être of the profession. It also violates the first dictum of medicine: Primum, non nocere. And although there is some discussion in the Western literature on strikes by doctors, authorities in India are silent on the subject.

RESUMONeste artigo, o objetivo é rastrear, na emergência de enunciados realizados em cartazes nas séries de manifestações de rua no Brasil em 2013 e mobilizados em rede, movimentos discursivos que sinalizam relevante alteração ética e política. De um ponto de vista dialógico de linguagem, descrevem-se as manifestações como cadeia comunicativa discursiva inspirada pelo processo de carnavalização. O espaço da rua e da praça pública, a alteração momentânea da ordem social cotidiana e a tensão ideológica que pode fomentar mudanças sociais autorizam a comparação entre a natureza discursiva das manifestações e a do processo de carnavalização. A partir daí, articulam-se teoria enunciativa e conceitos da filosofia contemporânea, como metanarrativa e condição pós-moderna, para interpretar a mudança de perspectiva axiológica flagrada em cartazes das manifestações. A análise esboçada indica que, discursivamente, de uma manifestação com pauta múltipla encaminha-se um movimento ideologicamente fragmentado que permite emergirem enunciados sem sentido, sugerindo a metacarnavalização do evento.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a estrutura e distribuição espacial dos indivíduos de mangueira no Distrito Administrativo de Belém (DABEL). Foi percorrida toda a malha viária do distrito, 424,45 km, sendo encontrados 36,86 km de calçadas arborizadas com mangueira (Mangifera indica L.). Foram quantificadas 2.649 mangueiras e calculados os seguintes índices: IMQC (índice de mangueira por quilômetro de calçada), ICAcalç (índice de cobertura arbórea) e IDA (índice de densidade arbórea). A distribuição de altura apresentou curva unimodal, caracterizando a predominância de árvores de grande porte. A distribuição diamétrica demonstrou maior concentração de árvores em estágio maduro. O maior IMQC foi para o bairro Nazaré e os maiores ICAcalç e IDA foram para o bairro Campina. Constatou-se uma má distribuição de mangueiras nas ruas, denotando que essa arborização não possui políticas específicas de manejo.

Resumen Introducción: La ausencia de instrumentos con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas adaptados para Colombia, que evalúen las barreras de acceso a los programas de rehabilitación cardiovascular justifica esta investigación. Objetivo: Determinar la validez de contenido de la Escala de Barreras para la Rehabilitación Cardiaca en población colombiana. Métodos y materiales: Se realizó un estudio de pruebas diagnósticas. En la primera fase se requiririeron dos traductores de lengua materna español y uno de lengua materna inglesa para la traducción y retrotraducción del cuestionario original. En la segunda fase se realizó la adaptación transcultural y se evaluó la validez de contenido mediante un panel de cuatro expertos con experiencia en investigación, medicina deportiva y rehabilitación cardiaca. Resultados: El instrumento fue traducido y adaptado al español colombiano. El panel de expertos decidió eliminar el ítem 18 de la escala original. El índice de validez de contenido fue aceptable para la mayoría de los ítems, excepto para los ítems 10, 15 y 18, por lo cual se realizaron modificaciones en palabras, frases o conjugaciones verbales según las recomendaciones del panel. Por otra parte, el Indice de Validez de Contenido en relevancia fue de 0,86 y en pertinencia de 0,88. Conclusión: Se cuenta con un instrumento que evalúa barreras de acceso a los programas de rehabilitación cardiovascular adaptada a población colombiana y con validez de contenido, por lo cual los resultados que se obtengan de la aplicación de la escala serán válidos. No obstante, se sugiere continuar con la evaluación de la reproducibilidad del instrumento.Abstract Introduction: This research was based on the absence of instruments with appropriate psychometric properties, adapted for Colombia, which evaluate the barriers of access to cardiovascular rehabilitation programs. Objective: To determine the validity of content of the barriers scale for the cardiac rehabilitation in Colombian population. Methods and materials: A study of diagnostic tests was done. In the first phase, two native speakers of Spanish and one of English were required to translate and retro translate the original questionnaire. In the second phase, the transcultural adaptation was done and the validity of content was assessed by a panel of four experts with experience in research, sports medicine and cardiac rehabilitation. Results: The instrument was translated and adapted to the Colombian Spanish. The panel of experts decided to remove the item 18 from the original scale. The content validity index was acceptable for the majority of the items, except for items 10, 15 and 18, where modifications were made in terms of words, phrases or conjugations according to the recommendations of the panel. On the other hand, the IVC in relevance was 0.86 and relevance of 0.88. Conclusion: There is an instrument that evaluates the barriers of access to cardiovascular rehabilitation adapted to the Colombian population programs and with content validity, so the results to be obtained from the application of the scale will be valid. However, it is suggested to continue with the evaluation of the reproducibility of the instrument.

Inventários da arborização urbana com auxílio de ferramentas de geoprocessamento são práticas fundamentais e atuais para o patrimônio arbóreo das cidades. Objetivou-se caracterizar e avaliar parâmetros quali-quantitativos do censo das árvores das ruas do bairro Grajaú e compará-los com as árvores do bairro Centro, ambos no município do Rio de Janeiro, com auxílio de ferramentas de geoprocessamento. A arborização das ruas do bairro Grajaú comparada ao Centro apresentou maior número de árvores (2.719 x 2.693, respectivamente) e diversidade de espécies (82 x 50, respectivamente). As dez espécies de maior frequência representaram 73 e 83% do total de espécies, e seis delas foram similares nos dois bairros. No bairro Grajaú, as árvores mais frequentes apresentam ampla distribuição, exceto as espécies Tamarindus indica e Licania tomentosa; assim como Licania tomentosa é predominante no Centro. No bairro Grajaú 150 árvores apresentaram lesões causadas pelo cancro, e no Centro 53 árvores. Árvores com cavidade igual e maior a 30% da circunferência foram representadas em 70,3% pela espécie Tamarindus indica no Grajaú e 80,9% por Licania tomentosa no Centro. Com a espacialização dos indivíduos foi possível observar como são distribuídas e onde estão localizados os problemas, auxiliando no planejamento e manejo da arborização urbana.

Full textAbstract:
This article is an analysis of the political thought of Bhimrao Ambedkar, anti-caste activist, author of the Indian constitution and first law minister of independent India. His personal writings are analyzed, and the origins of his ideas are situated within larger contexts- both national and international. He was representative of the increased radicalism of the Indian nationalist movement in the 1920s and 30s, but he stood apart from the mainstream of the movement on key issues. Above all, the most formative influence on his political philosophy was the fact that his experience of interwar India was mediated through his position at the lower rungs of the caste hierarchy. He brought his unique perspective to bear on some of the most pressing topics that radical nationalists were debating in the interwar period: communism and political economy, defining nationhood, and the caste system. A discussion of Ambedkar’s views on these three key subjects forms the analytical basis of this article, with an eye towards the continued relevance of his thought.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Malaria is a major public health problem in India. The malaria transmission is sensitive to climatic parameters. The regional population-related factors also influence malaria transmission. To take into account temperature and rainfall variability and associated population-related effects (in a changing climate) on the malaria transmission over India, a regional dynamical malaria model, namely VECTRI (vector-borne disease community model) is used. The daily temperature and rainfall data derived from the historical (years 1961–2005) and representative concentration pathway (years 2006–2050) runs of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 models have been used for the analysis. The model results of the historical run are compared with the observational data. The spatio-temporal changes (region-specific as well as seasonal changes) in the malaria transmission as a result of climate change are quantified over the India. The parameters related to the breeding cycle of malaria as well as those which estimate the malaria cases are analyzed in the global warming scenario.

The article investigates the relationship between economic growth and defence expenditure in India from 1970–1971 to 2015–2016. By using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Toda-Yamamoto Granger Causality approach, the empirical results find that defence expenditure has a positive and significant impact on economic growth in India. The study also finds that capital defence expenditure has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, while revenue defence expenditure does not have any substantial influence on it. The causality test confirms a bidirectional causality between defence expenditure and economic growth, while it finds a unidirectional causality that runs from capital defence expenditure to economic growth. The study suggests that defence spending, especially capital defence spending, should be encouraged to enhance economic growth in the Indian economy. JEL Classification: H56, O40, C32

O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi avaliar a infestação das árvores de ruas por ervas-depassarinho e analisar as características morfológicas arbóreas. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma amostragem da arborização de ruas em 6 bairros na cidade de Curitiba-PR. Além da percentagem de ocorrência de erva-de-passarinho nas árvores de ruas, foram analisadas as características morfológicas das espécies arbóreas com maior ou nenhuma ocorrência da mesma. Nas 1926 árvores das 6 amostras analisadas, 25,8% apresentaram infestação com erva-de-passarinho. Lagerstroemia indica L. e Tipuana tipu (Benth.) Kuntze foram as espécies que apresentaram maior ocorrência de erva-de-passarinho com 22,5% e 20,9% do total de indivíduos infestados. Nenhuma ocorrência de ervas-de-passarinho foi verificada em Handroanthus chrysotrichus (Mart. ex A.DC.) Mattos e Lafoensia pacari A. St.-Hil. Das quatro espécies analisadas, 50% são exóticas; 75% são de casca áspera; 75% são caducifólias; 75% são de copa globosa e densifoliada e 100% são de médio a grande porte. Verificou-se que as características como superfície de casca, hábito, forma e densidade da copa e altura não diferem entre ás árvores susceptíveis ou não ao parasitismo. A característica densidade da madeira pode representar um fator limitante à ocorrência de erva-de-passarinho, porém há a necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados.

The common narrative of the Portuguese state in India from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century is, following contemporaries like Manuel Godinho, that of the four ages of man. The development of the Estado da Índia runs from its birth during the discoveries, via its youth, the ‘golden age’ (ranging from roughly 1500 to 1520) through its maturity or, to stick with the age metaphors, its ‘silver age’ from c. 1520 to 1570 to senility, or ‘age of decline’. The decline is a long one though: now generally considered to start in 1570 and covering the following two centuries. And one may well wonder whether ‘decadênria’ is truly the appropriate way to approach such a long period.

Full textAbstract:
Trans-boundary River water has been a constant source of contention since the ancient times. As worldwide water scarcity is an increasing trend, trans-boundary water issues have become more critical. The Yarlung Tsangpo-Brahmaputra is an important river that runs through China, India, and Bangladesh. Recently, it has been emerging as a great concern for India and Bangladesh. As a middle riparian country, India is concerned about the Chinese activities further upstream. On the other hand, Bangladesh is concerned about China’s and India’s upstream activities on the Yarlung Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, as it is the lowest riparian country. Each of the three countries has their own riparian perception and their own views to explain and justify their riparian activities and concerns. This paper will broadly analyze all three perspectives, their concerns, and anxieties, placing them in the context of their riparian location. It will also provide some suggestions based on the core principles of equitable and logical water sharing to deal with the present riparian tension and ensure basin-wide water management. All three riparian countries’ should accept the principle of equitable distribution of Tsangpo-Brahmaputra river water. A Tsangpo-Brahmaputra river basin commission or some kind of commission can be formed with the authority to ensure equitable distribution of water among the co-riparian countries, namely, Bangladesh, China, and India.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between financial development indicators and human development in India using annual data from 1980-2012. Design/methodology/approach – The Ng-Perron unit root test is used to check for the order of integration of the variables. The long run relationship and short run dynamics are examined by implementing the ARDL bounds testing approach to co-integration. Granger’s non-causality test and variance decomposition techniques are also used to examine the impact of financial development indicators on human development. Findings – The results confirm a long run relationship among the variables. The results of granger non causality indicate that unidirectional causality runs from financial development indicators to human development index (HDI). The variance decomposition analysis shows that among all the financial indicators, broad money supply (M3) has the largest contribution to changes in human development in India. Research limitations/implications – The present study recommends for appropriate reforms in financial market to attain sustainable human development in India. The findings will be useful for India’s policy makers, in order to maintain the parallel expansion of financial development and human development. Originality/value – This paper is first of its kind to empirically examine the casual relationship between financial development indicators and human capital development proxied by HDI in India by using modern econometric techniques.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryGarole is a breed of sheep reared in the Sunderban region of India and Bangladesh. The animals of this breed are adapted to the hot and humid coastal region and are often seen grazing in water. Garole are reared as mutton sheep. The value of their wool is grossly ignored and presently wasted. The raw wool obtained from this breed can be stored for a long time without any significant deterioration in quality, that might be attributed to the genetic tolerance of the breed towards fleece rot. The wool quality parameters of Garole sheep indicate that the wool is coarse but has an excellent felting property. The raisers of these sheep are economically challenged members of the society, and handicrafts produced from the wool can assist in the alleviation of poverty as well as provide an alternative livelihood. An organisation has taken steps in scientific sheep rearing in the region and has assisted in training members of the community in the production of rugs from the wool. The organisation is also providing assistance in marketing the products developed on behalf of the beneficiaries.

Full textAbstract:
Monsoon depressions form during the Southwest Indian Monsoon over the Bay of Bengal and provide copious rainfall over the eastern and central parts of the country. Since these depressions form over sea, a region of data scarcity, satellite data provides only source of information of the meteorological system. Furthermore, for short-range prediction, it is extremely important to have accurate initial conditions for better model performance. In this study, effects of three dimensional variational (3DVAR) assimilation of the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) data is used in the simulation of two monsoon depressions (MDs) that formed during 2-5 September and 27-30 September 2006 using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) modeling system. The National Center for Environmental Prediction - Global Forecast (NCEP-GFS) fields were used for the initial and lateral boundary conditions. Two model runs were employed in this study; first a control (CTRL) or a base run without any data assimilation and another a 3DVAR run in which QuikSCAT data was assimilated using the 3DVAR assimilation. The model results from both runs were compared with one another as well as with Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) observations and Global Analysis (GFS-ANL) fields. The results of the time and area averaged vertical profile of relative vorticity over monsoon depressions indicate that the 3DVAR run is in closer agreement with GFS-ANL as compared to the CTRL run. Furthermore, the well-known temperature structure of a monsoon depression (cold core at low levels and warm core at upper levels) is better simulated by the 3DVAR run. While there is a clear and marked positive impact of ingesting the QuikSCAT data in terms of simulated precipitation for the depression that formed during 27-30 September 2006, improvement in the simulated rainfall due to QuikSCAT assimilation is slight for the other depression that formed during 2-5 September 2006. Consistent with the above observations, there is a clear improvement in the quantitative measures of the skill scores with lower bias, lower false alarms and higher probability of detection for almost all rainfall thresholds for the model runs which have assimilated the QuikSCAT observations.

Full textAbstract:
The development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is one of the causes of worsening Sino-Indian relations in recent years. The Economic Corridor runs through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which India has claimed as its territory for decades. India sees thie Project as a violation of its sovereignty, but China defends the Project, saying that it is purely an economic connectivity project without strategic purposes. Seeing the possible worsening relations, India initiated to invite Xi Jinping for an Informal Summit with Narendra Modi. With a longstanding historical relationship with China, and his personal style diplomacy, Modi manages to fix some misconception with Xi Jinping on several issues. While trying to fix Sino-Indian relations, Narendra Modi is at the same time still firm on its opposition towards the Project. The authors observe that Narendra Modi’s personality plays a big role in India’s response towards China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Modi’s strong and assertive personality, coupled with his Hindu-nationalist belief, explained the Indian decision to firmly opposing the CPEC. On the other hand, the footprints of Modi’s charisma, personal-style diplomacy, and his longstanding relationship with China, are visible in the Wuhan Summit, in which Modi became the spearhead of diplomacy.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is directed first at identifying where and by whom military influences or topics manifested themselves in the periodical pressʼns coverage of India in the period up to the Indian Rebellion. How such manifestations changed over time, as well as the convergence of Anglo-Indian and British newspapers and magazines on Indian topics, will form an important component of this study. Stemming from these initial enquiries, I will further suggest that the model often employed to comprehend such representations —namely ‘orientalism’ —is, as it is often configured, too simplistic and reductionist to account for all the forces at work in the production of images of India. Instead, the mid-Victorian image of India was produced by a very fractured discourse. Racial stereotypes and affirmations of British superiority were certainly to the forefront, but these were frequently inflected by quite separate agendaʼns, such as the military's pursuit of political and professional status and influence, publishers’ search for profits, and the quest for suitable middle-class role models. Moreover, it was a discourse constrained by the dominant contemporary literary conventions and tropes, notably the historical romance in fiction and didacticism in history and biography. Yet there is one strand that runs through these various agendas and literary strategies and that is the one provided by the Indian army. India was by the third decade of the nineteenth-century as much a military as it was a commercial site. In 1850, the then reigning governor-general, Lord Dalhousie, was reminded by John Lawrence of this fact when the latter insisted that ‘public opinion is essentially military in India. Military views, feelings and interests are therefore paramount’.

Full textAbstract:
O presente texto apresenta o feixe semântico e mítico em torno da temática da infância, indicando os ideais de inocência e pureza que caracterizam o início de uma existência. Se tais ideais configuram o espaço edênico suscetível de determinar as relações positivas que seres infantes desenvolvem entre si e com o mundo adulto, em um regime noturno da imaginação, a escapada do espaço indica uma errância negativa, capaz de destruir seu estado de inocência. Essa errância é observada nas crianças delinquentes de Capitães da areia, de Jorge Amado, que, abandonadas nas ruas de Salvador, perdem seu mundo de pureza em busca de mecanismos de sobrevivência. Em seguida, procura-se averiguar a situação das crianças em Cidade de Deus, de Paulo Lins, cuja inocência é comprometida sob o jugo dos coronéis do tráfico de drogas, como Zé Miúdo/Pequeno. Finalmente, conclui-se que a obra de Amado indicou as anomalias de uma sociedade de exclusão que permitia o abandono de crianças nas ruas, como se estivesse prevendo que a situação pioraria se não houvesse políticas de inclusão com distribuição de renda, visando à qualidade de vida da população.

A arborização traz vários benefícios ao ambiente natural ou urbanizado, tais como, atenuação do microclima, do barulho, interceptação das gotículas de chuva. O processo de urbanização diminui as áreas verdes e alteram o microclima local. Diante disto, o objetivo desse trabalho é identificar a percepção de uma comunidade em relação à importância da arborização em torno de suas moradias. Entrevistou-se formalmente 27 famílias, da comunidade quilombola "Serra Feia", no semiárido brasileiro. Na opinião dos entrevistados, as árvores proporcionam sombra, flores e frutos, mas alegam dificuldades financeiras para adquiri-las, a escassez de água para irriga-las e a presença de animais soltos que as destroem. Citaram duas espécies arbóreas como as preferidas para o plantio: nin-indiano (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) e a mangueira (Mangifera indica Linn). A partir da observação direta verificou-se que a comunidade não possui pavimentação nas ruas e acima de 80% delas não tem calçadas, a área apresenta rochosidade e o solo é predominantemente raso, argiloso e compactado, condições que exigem escolha criteriosa dos locais para o plantio de mudas.

Full textAbstract:
This study is devoted to elucidating the impact of poverty and population increase on air pollution (CO2-emission) in the two most populous countries of South Asia i.e. Pakistan and India. Annual time series data for the period of 1990-2018 are used to examine the said impact. To estimate the desired impact Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) technique is used. It is observed that CO2 emission is significantly determined by population increase and poverty in case of India. In the case of Pakistan population increase significantly affect CO2 emission in both the short run and long run, while poverty don not contributed significantly in the long run. Industrial production if found positive and statistically significant in both the runs. Stability of the model and other diagnostic tests are also employed not serious econometric problems are repowered. It is suggested on the bases of results that serious steps should be taken to reduce environmental pollution by reducing population increase and poverty. Industrial production also contributed to air pollution therefore industrial policies are also needed to be employed to reduce Air pollution.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of Muziris in Roman trade with India does not need any underlining. The port on the Malabar coast of modern Kerala figures prominently in the descriptions of classical geographers, it receives mention in the earliest Tamil poems, and it has come into the news more recently through the publication of a Greek papyrus from Egypt. It is also clear from the amount of Roman silver and gold coin found in S India — which gives some substance to Roman estimates of money haemorrhaging out to India — and from the value of the eastern cargoes recorded coming into Egypt and Rome that the trade was neither casual nor modest. All this is well known and has been carefully studied. The oddity, or pity, is that, despite the many ports listed in ancient authors along some 600 km of the Malabar coast, not a single one has been identified for certain, and not one has produced any serious archaeological evidence of Roman contact. As for Muziris, the most important of them all, we have only a vague idea of where it was located.Almost every earlier study has placed Muziris at Kodungallur (Cranganore/Cranganur in its Europeanised form) at the mouth of the Periyar river and north of Kerala's main modern port of Kochi (Cochin) (fig. 1). That is reasonable enough. The Periyar is the greatest river in Kerala and runs down from the towering western ghats to the sea. But where exactly on the Periyar? Kodungallur is the name given to a large zone, incorporating a number of small towns of which Kodungallur itself is one, strung out along the road that runs north for several kilometres from the Periyar parallel to the coast and the inland waters of the river Pullut. But how certain is this, anyway? These were the questions we had in mind when a group of us decided to take a closer look at the evidence, both in the literature and on the ground. Ultimately, only an excavation can answer the questions for certain, but perhaps we could narrow down the options.

"The Impacts of Indirect Soil Moisture Assimilation and Direct Surface Temperature and Humidity Assimilation on a Mesoscale Model Simulation of an Indian Monsoon Depression."

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the impact of the Flux-Adjusting Surface Data Assimilation System (FASDAS) and the four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) using analysis nudging on the simulation of a monsoon depression that formed over India during the 1999 Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment (BOBMEX) field campaign. FASDAS allows for the indirect assimilation/adjustment of soil moisture and soil temperature together with continuous direct surface data assimilation of surface temperature and surface humidity. Two additional numerical experiments [control (CTRL) and FDDA] were conducted to assess the relative improvements to the simulation by FASDAS. To improve the initial analysis for the FDDA and the surface data assimilation (SDA) runs, the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) simulation utilized the humidity and temperature profiles from the NOAA Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS), surface winds from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT), and the conventional meteorological upper-air (radiosonde/rawinsonde, pilot balloon) and surface data. The results from the three simulations are compared with each other as well as with NCEP–NCAR reanalysis, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), and the special buoy, ship, and radiosonde observations available during BOBMEX. As compared with the CTRL, the FASDAS and the FDDA runs resulted in (i) a relatively better-developed cyclonic circulation and (ii) a larger spatial area as well as increased rainfall amounts over the coastal regions after landfall. The FASDAS run showed a consistently improved model simulation performance in terms of reduced rms errors of surface humidity and surface temperature as compared with the CTRL and the FDDA runs.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2008 the Scottish government and heritage authorities have been engaged in several projects and partnerships in India aimed at conserving colonial-era heritage and providing assistance to Indian authorities in the preservation of Indian heritage. These projects range from the recording and rejuvenation of the Scottish Cemetery in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) to the documentation of Rani Ki Vav, a significant Hindu stepwell, as part of the ‘Scottish 10’ project. These investments are notable for two reasons: typically, international involvement in a country's heritage would come in the form of a non-state actor such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) rather than another nation-state. Furthermore, as many of the sites in India of interest to the Scots were established during the colonial period and exist as a direct result of British rule, the Scottish involvement in their preservation runs the risk of attracting claims of cultural colonialism. These challenges have been effectively neutralised through the selection of projects that emphasise the positive contributions made by Scots in India, and through the positioning of these projects as acts of altruism and of the celebration of shared collective histories. This article will discuss the motives behind Scottish investment in heritage sites in India, demonstrating both the way that heritage can be engaged with at a bi-lateral level as an act of cultural diplomacy as well as the way heritage can be used to promote the perception of a specific version of national identity.

Full textAbstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused millions of cases and deaths worldwide and has caused a massive global economic contraction. Governments, policymakers, and medical professionals have been confronted with several complex bioethical dilemmas during these exceptional circumstances. In developing countries like India, having a large population base, inadequate preexisting public health infrastructure, and a multi-level government system with complex administrative mechanisms imposes enormous barriers and challenges in the effective and ethical management of the pandemic. Furthermore, endemic corruption, limited bureaucratic and organisational accountability, and weak oversight, especially among stakeholders in the vast private and non-government health and allied services sector, complicate the assessment of their adherence to ethical public health practices. All this constitutes a moral imperative for practitioners of medical ethics in India to develop a framework for ethical preparedness during a pandemic. Failure to do so runs the grave risk of moral and ethical chaos from ad-hoc decision making that is deprived of ethical guidance when confronted with an unprecedented public health crisis. In this narrative, we provide some of the building blocks for a comprehensive ethical framework for decision making and shaping public health responses to pandemic situations and associated challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Naxalbari is a small village in West Bengal, India, where a section of the Communist Party of India (CPM) led by Kanu Sanyal,and Jangal Santhal initiated a violent uprising in 1967. On 18 May 1967, the Siliguri Kishan Sabha, of which Jangal was the president, declared their support for the movement initiated by Kanu Sanyal and readiness to adopt armed struggle to redistribute land to the landless. But before it, as a consequence of the debate in international communist movement, Indian communist Party split and a faction choose the path of Mao Thought to go ahead. The party was led by Charu Majumdar, Kanu Sanyal and Jangal Santhal revolted against the existing political system. The uprising was started from Naxalbari village by using the policy of “annihilation of class enemy”. It is known as Naxalbari Revolt. But the neither could gain achievement nor run for long last. Top leader of the party, Charu Majumdar, was arrested and killed. After his murder, the party split into more than one dozen factions. On the other side, in Nepal, the neighboring district Jhapa came into influence of Naxalbari Revolt and the youth communists of Jhapa started the revolt using the same path of Naxalbari. Jhapa Revolt also runs for only 30 months. Both the movements became failure to achieve the aim. But due to the differences of ruling structure, existing political system, and geo political condition between two countries, the revolt of India split into several divisions and the movement of Nepal, even being unsuccessful to achieve the aim achieved to unify the divided movement. The impact of Naxalbari movement in India seems remain still now in some parts of India but in Nepal, Jhapa revolt has become a history. Whatsoever, both revolts have left impact in both countries till now.

Full textAbstract:
In the history and historiography of labour servitude, the ideology of modernity and progress looms large. Thus it was with bitter irony that a British officer described the miserable condition of a labourer in late nineteenth-century colonial India: “Steam, the great civilizer, has not done much for this man, although the railroad runs within a few hundred yards of his door.” The persistence of the miserably poor existence was bad enough, but truly appalling was the fact that the introduction of modern industry had not set the labourer free. The poor labourers, or kamias as they were called locally, had seen modernity whizz past them without carrying them along in its journey to progress and freedom.
