How Does India Fare on Global Climate Change Indices?
Publisher: Economic and Political Weekly, 2020
Abstract
The term climate change is often bandied about to refer to changing weather patterns, but such usage of the term is shorn of the nuanced and technical meaning it is endowed with. A comprehensive definition of climate change incorporates a host of related technical aspects. On the other hand, India, like other developing nations, bears the brunt of changing weather patterns more than the developed economies.

Evolution of interdependent co-authorship and citation networks
Publisher: Scientometrics, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Studies of bibliographic data suggest a strong correlation between the growth of citation networks and their corresponding co-authorship networks. We explore the interdependence between evolving citation and co-authorship networks focused on the publications, by Indian authors, in American Physical Society journals between 1970 and 2013. We record interactions between each possible pair of authors in two ways: first, by tracing the change in citations, they exchanged and, second, by tracing the shortest path between authors in the co-authorship network. We create these data for every year of the period of our analysis. We use probability methods to quantify the correlation between citations and shortest paths, and the effect on the dynamics of the citation-co-authorship system. We find that author pairs who have a co-authorship distance d ≤ 3 significantly affect each other’s citations, but that this effect falls off rapidly for longer distances in the co-authorship network. The exchange of citation between pairs with d = 1 exhibits a sudden increase at the time of first co-authorship events and decays thereafter, indicating an ageing effect in collaboration. This behaviour suggests that the dynamics of the co-authorship network appear to be driving those of the citation network rather than vice versa. Moreover, the majority of citations received by most authors are due to reciprocal citations from current, or past, coauthors. We conclude that, in order to answer questions on the nature and dynamics of scientific collaboration, it is necessary to study both co-authorship and citation network simultaneously.

Performing intimacy: slavery and the womans voice in eighteenth-century Marathi lavani
Publisher: South Asian History and Culture, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
This article provides an optic for understanding the genre of the Marathi love lyric, lavani (lāvaṇī), and its emotionality. The genre reached its greatest popularity during the turn of the nineteenth century, receiving broad popular support as well as patronage from the Maratha State. Often contrasted with the povada (povāḍā), defined essentially as a heroic ballad that recounts the feats of larger than life historical persons, the two have been seen in tandem, paired for their characterization of masculine valour and feminine eros. Each genre, relying on the other to form a complete picture, providing the appropriate context in a dialogue of genres. Despite the contrast and obvious references to warfare in the povada, however, most scholars have not acknowledged the eros of lavani as a product of its historical circumstances. Instead, generations of scholars have often characterized lavani as immoral, about women who are ready to swindle heroic men out of their hard-earned riches – riches earned from plunder and warfare in the eighteenth century

Noise-induced Extinction in a Bistable System
Publisher: Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
A considerable amount of analytical work has been done in recent years to understand extinction in finite discrete population systems in the presence of demographic noise. This has been made possible by advances in employing the WKB method for solving a wide variety of stochastic single population systems. Previous works have focussed on extinction in logistic/Verhulst-type models with a single stable fixed point, Allee-type models which has an additional unstable nonzero fixed point and switching behaviour of bistable finite population systems. However, the mean extinction time in bistable systems with an absorbing state hasn’t received much focus in these studies. In this work, we study the mean extinction time (MTE) in a phenomenological single population model exhibiting bistability using the WKB method. The quasi-stationary distribution (QSD) is derived in the limit of a large parameter, N, of the model, and by matching the QSD in different regimes of stability, an analytical expression for the mean extinction time has been derived. The MTE is exponentially large in N but shows a significant reduction in the extinction time due to the presence of bistable fixed points as compared to models that have only single stable states such as the Verhulst model. It is demonstrated that the analytical results compare well with that derived from direct numerical calculations.

Stakeholder engagement for innovation management and entrepreneurial development: A meta-analysis
Publisher: Journal of Business Research, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The focus of this paper is to reviews contemporary studies in entrepreneurship literature related to innovation management (IM), stakeholder engagement (SE), and entrepreneurial development (ED), using bibliometric techniques and longitudinal statistical analysis of 1059 articles published in the Journal of Business Research (JBR) and other relevant business and management journals indexed in Scopus from 1974 untill July 2020. We have employed a structured literature review and meta-analysis to explore the emerging research patterns in prospective observational studies encompassing the field of ED, SE, and IM. Our findings suggest that it may be worthwhile to mention that dynamics of the interaction of SE, IM, and ED are shaping the scholarship of academic research in entrepreneurship. Our meta-analysi-s reaffirms that contemporary research conducted at the intersection of SE, IM, and ED is indicatesive of the consolidation of these tenets in future research in entrepreneurship leading to an integrative view. Following our meta-analysisinally, we have presented future research directions at the intersection of SE, IM, and ED for entrepreneurship research.

Drivers Of Future Savings Of Malaysian Households
Publisher: Journal Of Economics And Sustainability, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
The households’ savings in Malaysia have shown a deteriorating trend that negatively impacts their financial security. The Financial Inclusion and Capability Study of BNM (2016) indicates that merely 6 percent of Malaysians could survive for more than six months and 18 percent up to three months if they lose their main source of income. Thus, it is imperative to examine the drivers of future savings of Malaysian households. A sample of 1,106 bank customers in three cities of peninsular Malaysia was recruited, and the descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) were employed. The results reveal that about 25 percent of households are not likely to make any changes in their savings profile in various financial and physical assets. The drivers of future saving are found to be socio-demographic parameters, such as age, education level, the number of working members in the household, and income, and other parameters, such as the percentage of income saved, and the period of the saving plan, which have a significant relationship with the change in future savings of the households. The policy implications of the findings are also presented.

Innovative approaches to entrepreneurship education at FLAME University in India
Publisher: In: Neck, H.M. and Liu, Y. (Eds), Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education - Teaching Entrepreneurship in Practice , 2021
Abstract
|
Links
Entrepreneurship and startups have recently increased significantly in India. The government has initiated several measures to boost the startup ecosystem. Most universities in India now offer entrepreneurship as an introductory course. Because most courses at the university level in India are theoretical and classroom-oriented, entrepreneurship is also taught more theoretically. Yet, entrepreneurship education is a practical discipline and cannot be taught in or restricted to the classroom and lecture. Hence, the pedagogical approach of teaching needs to shift from passive learning to more experiential approaches, which is the domain of andragogy and heutagogy, as opposed to pedagogy. FLAME University in Pune, India, has transitioned from the pedagogical approach to andragogical and heutagogical approaches in its series of entrepreneurship courses. This chapter describes the innovative approaches used at FLAME University in entrepreneurship education.

Saffronizing the periphery: Explaining the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party in contemporary Assam
Publisher: Studies in Indian Politics, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The remotely located and relatively marginalized states of northeast India have historically been a Congress bastion, despite posing continued challenges to the nation-building project through many insurgency movements. The success of the grand old party depended on creating ‘umbrella coalitions’ with diverse ethnic groups to sustain power. However, since General elections 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has successfully challenged the dominance of Congress, particularly in the state of Assam. In this context, this paper seeks to discuss recent shifts in electoral dynamics in Assam and its implication for a region hitherto considered peripheral. The paper situates the BJP’s emergence as the new locus of power in the long-term processes of party politics in Assam and discusses the resultant shifts in social alignments, cleavages and political issues in the multi-ethnic landscape of the state. It also explores the role of the RSS in negotiating its larger ideological interests with local political realities of the state and its ability to appropriate local cultural symbols. The paper concludes that the unprecedented rise of the BJP, which is a result of the changing political opportunity structures in Assam, will nevertheless be tested severely due to the state’s multi-ethnic character and complex, localized social fault lines.

Synergistic Biophysical Techniques Reveal Structural Mechanisms of Engineered Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides in Lipid Model Membranes
Publisher: Chemistry - A European Journal, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
In the quest for new antibiotics, two novel engineered cationic antimicrobial peptides (eCAPs) have been rationally designed. WLBU2 and D8 (all 8 valines are the d ‐enantiomer) efficiently kill both Gram‐negative and ‐positive bacteria, but WLBU2 is toxic and D8 nontoxic to eukaryotic cells. We explore protein secondary structure, location of peptides in six lipid model membranes, changes in membrane structure and pore evidence. We suggest that protein secondary structure is not a critical determinant of bactericidal activity, but that membrane thinning and dual location of WLBU2 and D8 in the membrane headgroup and hydrocarbon region may be important. While neither peptide thins the Gram‐negative lipopolysaccharide outer membrane model, both locate deep into its hydrocarbon region where they are primed for self‐promoted uptake into the periplasm. The partially α‐helical secondary structure of WLBU2 in a red blood cell (RBC) membrane model containing 50 % cholesterol, could play a role in destabilizing this RBC membrane model causing pore formation that is not observed with the D8 random coil, which correlates with RBC hemolysis caused by WLBU2 but not by D8.
