शिक्षा के वैयाक्तिक एवं सामाजिक उद्देष्यों का सामंजस्य
No full textमानव बड़ा है अथवा समाज ? यह प्रष्न प्राचीन काल मे ही विद्ववानों के समक्ष विचारणीय रहा है। कुछ विद्वान् समाज की उपेक्षा व्यक्ति के व्यक्तित्व पर बल देते हैं, को कुछ समाज के हित के समक्ष व्यक्ति को बिलकुल महत्वहीन मानते हुए उसे समाज की उन्नति के लिए बलिदान तक कर देने के पक्ष में हैं। इस वाद-विवाद के आधार पर की शिक्षा के व्यैक्तिक तथा सामाजिक उद्देष्यों का सर्जन हुआ है। शिक्षा सम्बन्धी सभी उदेष्य प्रायः इन्ही दोनों उद्देष्यों में से किसी एक उदेष्य के पक्ष में बल देते हैं। अब प्रष्न यह उठता है कि शिक्षा के इन दोनों उद्देषों में समन्वय स्थापित किया जा सकता है अथवा नहीं ? यदि अन्तर केवल बल देने का ही तो इन दोनों उद्देष्यों के बीच समन्वय स्थापित करने में कोई कठिनाई नहीं होगी। परन्तु इसके लिए हमें निष्पक्ष रूप से इन दोनों उद्देष्यों के संकुचित तथा व्यापक रूपों का अलग-अलग अध्ययन करके यह देखना होगा कि इन दोनों उद्देष्यों में कोई वास्तविकता विरोध है अथवा केवल बल देने का अन्तर है
Developmental Changes in Morphology of the Middle and Posterior External Cranial Base in Modern Homo sapiens
No full textabstract: The basicranium has been described as phylogenetically informative, developmentally stable, and minimally affected by external factors and consequently plays an important role in cranial size and shape in subadult humans. Here basicranial variation of subadults from several modern human populations was investigated and the impact of genetic relatedness on basicranial morphological similarities was investigated. Three-dimensional landmark data were digitized from subadult basicrania from seven populations. Published molecular data on short tandem repeats were statistically compared to morphological data from three ontogenetic stages. Basicranial and temporal bone morphology both reflect genetic distances in childhood and adolescence (5–18 years), but not in infancy (<5 years). The occipital bone reflects genetic distances only in adolescence (13–18 years). The sphenoid bone does not reflect genetic distances at any ontogenetic stage but was the most diagnostic region evaluated, resulting in high rates of correct classification among populations. These results suggest that the ontogenetic processes driving basicranial development are complex and cannot be succinctly summarized across populations or basicranial regions. However, the fact that certain regions reflect genetic distances suggests that the morphology of these regions may be useful in reconstructing population history in specimens for which direct DNA evidence is unavailable, such as archaeological sites.The article is published at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2015/324702

No full textCloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm which is gaining popularity
in IT industry for its appealing property of considering "Everything as a Service".
The goal of a cloud infrastructure provider is to maximize its profit by minimizing the amount of violations of Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels agreed with service providers, and, at the same time, by lowering infrastructure costs.
Among these costs, the energy consumption induced by the cloud infrastructure, for running cloud services, plays a primary role.
Unfortunately, the minimization of QoS violations and, at the same time, the reduction of energy consumption is a conflicting and challenging problem.
In this thesis, we propose a framework to automatically manage computing resources of cloud infrastructures in order to simultaneously achieve suitable QoS levels and to reduce as much as possible the amount of energy used for providing services.
We show, through simulation, that our approach is able to dynamically adapt to time-varying workloads (without any prior knowledge) and to significantly reduce QoS violations and energy consumption with respect to traditional static approaches
A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
No full textAssessing global progress on human adaptation to climate change is an urgent priority. Although the literature on adaptation to climate change is rapidly expanding, little is known about the actual extent of implementation. We systematically screened >48,000 articles using machine learning methods and a global network of 126 researchers. Our synthesis of the resulting 1,682 articles presents a systematic and comprehensive global stocktake of implemented human adaptation to climate change. Documented adaptations were largely fragmented, local and incremental, with limited evidence of transformational adaptation and negligible evidence of risk reduction outcomes. We identify eight priorities for global adaptation research: assess the effectiveness of adaptation responses, enhance the understanding of limits to adaptation, enable individuals and civil society to adapt, include missing places, scholars and scholarship, understand private sector responses, improve methods for synthesizing different forms of evidence, assess the adaptation at different temperature thresholds, and improve the inclusion of timescale and the dynamics of responses.</p
