Punishment and mandatory minimums in the Indian context
No full textCrime and punishments are inseparable, a cause and effect; one devoid of the other is incongruous and noxious. Sentencing, as observed by Justice Krishna Iyer is a means to an end,
a psycho-physical panacea to cure the accused of socially reprehensible behavior that caused the crime. Through such punishments, people are warned that they put their own rights on the line if they infringe on those of others through harmful conduct. Common among civilized societies is a consolidation of crimes and concretization of their resultant punishments as some form of a codex. In India, the Indian Penal Code (hereinafter “the IPC”) serves this larger purpose, containing a curious amalgamation of rules on sentencing -- ranging from mandatory minimum to maximum punishments, or discretionary fines
Tracing the materialization of the Kerala joint Hindu family system (abolition) Act through its historical context
No full textA description of the Hindu family in India would be incomplete without accounts of its vast jointness. In fact, this was such a characteristic feature, from time immemorial, that it induced the mutation of the adjective into a tangible concept – the Hindu Joint Family (hereafter the HJF). Interestingly, empirical evidence has shown that novel urban settings did not induce a complete breakdown of the joint family system, implying that change and continuity were not mutually exclusive for this Hindu institution

Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
A Unified Shell model for Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
No full textWe construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as . However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are consistent with the direct numerical simulations of Kumar {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 90}, 023016 (2014)]. We also observe a dual scaling ( and ) for a limited range of parameters in stably stratified flow
Grlica: revijalna zbirka omladinske muzike
No full textGrlica: revijalna zbirka omladinske muzike bio je glazbeni časopis koji je izlazio od 1933. do 1935. godine. U tom razdoblju objavljeno je deset brojeva. Njezin urednik i izdavač Srečko Kumar (1888. – 1954.), zborovođa i glazbeni pedagog, osobitu je pozornost posvetio objavljivanju zborskih skladbi domaćih autora, šireći tako postojeći omladinski glazbeni repertoar relevantnom glazbenom literaturom. Zborske skladbe činile su glavninu sadržaja. Manji dio sadržaja činio je književni prilog u kojem su se na hrvatskom i slovenskom jeziku objavljivali članci pedagoške i didaktičke tematike. U početku izlaženja Grlica je donosila i uvodne rasprave, kritičke analize objavljenih skladbi te biografije njihovih autora
