Parul Bhandari. Money, Culture, Class: Elite Women as Modern Subjects
No full textIn Money, Culture, Class, Parul Bhandari, Associate Professor of Sociology at Jindal Global Business School, introduces us to the world of Delhi’s elite housewives. Bhandari follows Shamus Khan (2012) in defining the elites very simply as those who have a “vastly disproportionate control or access over resources.” The resource Bhandari is primarily concerned with is money. She focuses not on a political or intellectual elite, but on a particular segment of Delhi’s economic elite—super-rich bu..
A critical evaluation of the human rights paradigm
No full textChapter 6 shows that the types of dispositions covered in previous chapters have created disciplinary blindspots. They have left the more troublesome theoretical implications of the current paradigm untouched. This chapter provides an appreciation of the overall efficacy of the theoretical model. It conveys that refugee law and human rights law might exhibit a coincidental connection, but they do not have a normative one. This is likely to encourage discretion, restrictiveness and fragmentation in its application

Global constitutionalism and the path of international law ::transformation of law and state in the globalized world /
No full textIn Global Constitutionalism and the Path of International Law , Surendra Bhandari succinctly offers an account of the most important growth and features of international law from the perspectives of global constitutionalism. The author examines the concept from its constitutive features and the operative standards or modus operandi. These two aspects offer a new and innovative methodology in explicating the theory of 'global constitutionalism'. By examining three cases: international trade (WTO), human rights, and the role of Security Council, the author demonstrates how the idea of global constitutionalism is shaping and deepening the path of international law in the 21st century and elucidates the development of international law as a body of positive rules
GHG REDUCTION FROM SHIPPING : a literature review
No full textThe shipping industry is undoubtedly the ecofriendliest method of transportation of goods, which has been proved by various research before this. Still, having been accounted for about 2.2 % of global CO2 emission, there is enough room for improvement, given that there are only a few regulations in place to change its emission practices. We are on the verge of climate change, and it demands immediate actions from every sector, including the shipping industry. This research seeks to find factors that lead to a broad acceptance of measures for reduction or what factors could play an essential role in rapidly achieving the target of zero emissions

Sustainable competitive advantage in a disruptive world through disruptive business models
No full textThe market is continuously changing at an increasing pace provoking businesses to make almost instantaneous marketing decisions. The source of competitive advantage is not as long-lasting as companies might have previously believed, which urges market leaders to continuously shape marketing strategies, plus even the concept of marketing itself is often misunderstood as well. Many firms tend to collapse not by closing production but by unprofitable marketing. Companies are facing unprecedented challenges to survive in the current economy which means even greater endeavors are required to compete.
The vulnerability in the market has created opportunities for start-ups to enter the market. Disruptive business models are being introduced that have challenged the norm. Market leaders are failing to adapt to ongoing trends. Companies that have continuously innovated have managed to retain competitive advantage however companies that have innovated well have suffered due to lack of communication
Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft have focused on building a brand ecosystem to help keep their customers loyal. Market leaders are facing challenges due to improvements in technology and excessive use of social media platforms.
Buyer’s behavior is changing rapidly due to the shift in the balance of power from a captive market towards a customer-oriented market, therefore companies are seeking solutions to keep customers satisfied through creative customer experience. Consumers are loyal to their last experience rather than the brand providing the experience therefore companies have to be consistent across the board with what they deliver. Marketers need to understand what factors drive the wants, needs, goals and beliefs in the current world. Creative customer campaigns have helped companies gain brand awareness and personalized experiences.
Non-innovative start-ups are challenging market leaders and achieving success in the market through market repositioning. The current volatile climate has created opportunities for start-ups to enter the market by imitating market leaders. Companies like OnePlus have successfully entered the market and seized a significant market share.
The objective of this research is to find the key success factors from study cases and how companies have obtained and retained a competitive advantage in today’s’ disruptive world. The key findings in this research should help companies to understand the market trends and find solutions to the problems

Egok360 A 360 Egocentric Kinetic Human Activity Video Dataset
No full textRecently, there has been a growing interest in wearable sensors which provides new research perspectives for 360 ° video analysis. However, the lack of 360 ° datasets in literature hinders the research in this field. To bridge this gap, in this paper we propose a novel Egocentric (first-person) 360° Kinetic human activity video dataset (EgoK360). The EgoK360 dataset contains annotations of human activity with different sub-actions, e.g., activity Ping-Pong with four sub-actions which are pickup-ball, hit, bounce-ball and serve. To the best of our knowledge, EgoK360 is the first dataset in the domain of first-person activity recognition with a 360° environmental setup, which will facilitate the egocentric 360 ° video understanding. We provide experimental results and comprehensive analysis of variants of the two-stream network for 360 egocentric activity recognition. The EgoK360 dataset can be downloaded from https://egok360.github.io/
