Shree Timeless Fables #3
No full textThis book seems to be the third in a series of twenty books, thirteen of which present Aesop's fables. That is surprising, since the book contains sixty fables. Most series present only some one hundred fables; this series must be presenting 780 of them! A special feature of this book is its purple titles and morals. Also, each fable has an animated black-and-white cartoon. There is a T of C on 5-7. A test of the first few fables finds the tellings sometimes slipshod or at least curious. In The Monkeys and Their Mother (10), the story goes out of its way to make the point that a neglected baby usually grows weak and dies. In this case, he becomes strong. There is no crisis and no flight from a predator. The mother asks the weaker baby how he grew strong. I have a strong will to live. Close enough, but the old fable is gone. Similarly, Jupiter gives a strange answer to Minerva when she chooses the olive: To avoid any quarrels, we chose trees that don't bear any fruits (17). I think the original fable stresses Athena's attention to effectiveness and practicality while other gods are attracted only to beauty. Jupiter's strange comment undercuts the surprising wisdom of her choice. The cover features a man in a boat with a snake, crow, and lamb on the shore. The title-fable is on 27 and does not include either the lamb or the man in the boat. The back cover lists the other volumes in the Shree Timeless Fables series. Is that a bald Aesop on the title-page and in the cover's boat?First editionRetold by Sunita Pant Bansa
Cult: A Composite Novel
No full textCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts

The Journey of the Gods: A case study of Shree Jagannatha Temple , Puri, Odisha, India
No full textThe impact of urban morphological changes on heritage structures and their surroundings is investigated in this thesis. To accomplish so, the thesis focuses on and investigates the case of Shree Jagannatha Temple in Puri, which was built in the 12th century. The temple serves as the spiritual heart of Hinduism, one of the world’s oldest religions. As one of the country’s ‘Char Dhams (four prominent Hindu temple locations),’ it is crucial to the city’s economy. The inflow of pilgrims to the temple on significant occasions like the Ratha Yatra (Chariot Journey) surpassed the support system’s basic capacities. Grand Road (main road) for key religious rites degraded over time as a result of commercialization of the surrounding area, leading to illegal settlements as well. The urbanization of the area surrounding the temple has also adulterated the temple’s pinnacle’s visibility. The government of Odisha has presented a plan by Puri Konark Development Authority to transform the city of Puri into a world heritage city by 2031 in order to protect the temple and its significance. The thesis examines three architectural dimensions – setting, scale, and space – to better comprehend the factors that influenced the government’s decision. The research is limited to the urban changes in the 19th century, 20th century, and latest developments because considerable urban growth occurred in the last few decades. Site visits, photographic documentation, and comparative analysis were all part of the research for developing Serial Vision using the method of Gordon Cullen. Furthermore, Kulke and Hunter W. Stirling’s publications, as well as news articles, were useful resources for understanding history and stakeholder perspectives. Finally, the thesis explores the government’s document plans and how they may aid in the restoration of the temple’s monumentality.AR2A011Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

Defining Immune Cell Profiles and their Role in Predicting Therapeutic Response in Multiple Myeloma
No full textMultiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy that presents with bone marrow plasmacytosis, monoclonal paraproteinemia, and associated end organ damage, including anemia, renal dysfunction and bone disease, amongst others (23, 38, 39). The growth and survival of myeloma cells is driven by inherent genomic perturbations as well as influence of the bone marrow microenvironment (17). Numerous constituents of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, including immune cells, are affected both directly and indirectly by MM cells, leading to immune cell dysfunction. The most prominent immune deficiency lies in the humoral immune response, which manifests as low uninvolved immunoglobulin (UIg) levels in serum. We hypothesize that observed low UIg levels and immune dysfunction are due to alterations in the developmental stages of the B cell-compartment in MM bone marrow and associated T and B cell subset alterations; and that B and T cell subset analysis can aid in understanding the immune abnormalities in MM. To address this hypothesis, we utilized multicolor flow cytometry to study the B cell compartment in BM samples from normal donor, smoldering, newly-diagnosed and relapsed MM patients, and to discern immune cell-subsets we utilized the PBMCs collected from newly-diagnosed MM patients enrolled in the DFCI-IFM 10-106 study (2). Patients in this study received state-of-the-art combination therapy with lenalidomide (immunomodulatory agent), bortezomib (proteasome inhibitor) and dexamethasone (steroid) (RVD). We planned to assess how B cell subsets and imbalances in the T cell-compartment contribute to the framework of the disease, and to distinguish immune parameters that can be useful to predict outcome following RVD treatment. Our analysis of BM samples showed that pro-B cells with renewal capacity were lower in the BM of smoldering myeloma (SMM) (12 ±3.1; p<0.05), relapsed/refractory myeloma (RRMM) (3.1±1.6; p<0.05) and MM (19.2±4.9) compared to normal BM samples (NBM) (25.1±3) suggesting that aberrations in B cell development may contribute to suppressed UIg in MM. Next, we evaluated PBMCs from patients enrolled on the 10-106 study and achieved complete remission (CR) (N=13) with those not achieving CR (N=18) following therapy. We observed significant differences in patients achieving CR versus those not achieving CR in B2 cells (63.6±4.6l vs. 42.1±3.9, respectively; p<0.05), CD3 cells (61±2.7 vs. 38.9±5.7, respectively; p<0.05); CD4 cells (63.4±3.7 vs. 37.1±5.5, respectively; p<0.05); Th2 cells (73±6.1 vs. 47.7±5.9, respectively; p<0.05), and PD-1 expressing CD8 T cells (63.2±8 vs. 39.5±6.1, respectively; p<0.05) and decrease in Th1 cells (23.3±5.6 vs. 46.3±5.4, respectively). These differences were also observed when absolute numbers of each cell type were computed. Our preliminary results suggest the potential of these markers measured at diagnosis to predict CR in MM patients following RVD treatment. This data warrants a larger study in this patient population, to decipher how B cell function is affected in MM, and what subsequent effects occur on cell-mediated immunity controlled by T helper cells.multiple myeloma; immune cell
Digital Economy by Entrepreneurship: A perspective analysis on Information Technology and Digital India-In the backdrop of an initiative towards transformation and empowerment. (Under the scheme of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav)
No full textAbstract: The aim of ‘Digital India’ with the motto of “Power to Empower,” initiated in 2015, kicked off well, despite questions about the competencies & capabilities of India becoming Atam Nirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) by 2020.
Digitalization is the New Pandemic in India. The Digitalization drive has started transforming the sectors like Education, Transport, Marketing, Communication, Health, Governance, Human Resources, Finance, Banking, and many more to the list.
The central idea behind dynamically propelling ‘Digitalization’ is to explore all possible ways of innovation in effectively integrating the overall Supply Chain Delivery System. The “New Education Policy-2020” is a promising step for bringing changes in the Indian educational landscape toward future preparedness and readiness of the country to become a Global Leader in the ‘Digital Economy’ without sacrificing the principles of Atam Nirbhar Bharat.
In recent times out of all the transformations, the Entrepreneurial Sector stands remarkable in re-building India’s Economy after the Global Covid – 19 Pandemic (2020-2021) setback. There is no doubt about the “Digital India Movement” contribution to boosting employability and Entrepreneurship.
Today is the era of Digital Entrepreneurs. Digital India represents a $1 Trillion opportunity to grow the economy with the ability to sustain 55-60 million jobs. This digital transformation campaign is making the country digitally empowered in the area of business, commerce & management, engineering & technology, online infrastructure, enhancing internet connectivity, and many more. Will the digital empowerment of citizens create a knowledge-based society and Digital Economy in India?
Keywords: Digital India, Transformation, Empowerment, Entrepreneurship, Technology.
