Krishan Kumar. The Making of English National Identity
Get PDFQui a noté, pour s’y perdre, la fréquente confusion entre Angleterre et Royaume-Uni, entre « anglais » et « britannique », trouvera dans cet ouvrage érudit une réponse éclairante. Pour comprendre cette situation où la partie est prise (et se prend) pour le tout, Krishan Kumar retrace les grandes lignes du développement de la Grande-Bretagne comme entité politique et culturelle. Sa thèse veut que l’identification de l’Angleterre avec une entité plus vaste qui l’englobe – Grande-Bretagne, Empir..

Air passenger satisfaction and airport service quality / Manoj Kumar and Krishan Kant Meena
Get PDFAirports have always been concerned with increasing business and aviation traffic. People can travel safely through airports, thus in order to increase traffic and growth at the airport, managers at the airport must be aware of what passengers expect from airport services. This study intends to investigate and analyse several aspects of airport service quality connected to the satisfaction and discontent of air travellers in the context of the airport in Rajasthan, India. Primary data were collected from two airports (one international Airport, and 2 domestic airports). Four hundred passengers were included in the study's sample size and were given a standardised questionnaire evaluating the quality of services at airports. Five key aspects of airport service quality were created using exploratory factor analysis to examine the significant factors. Additional confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out to evaluate the validity and reliability of the identified variable of airport service quality. Analyze the significance of the relationship between the dependent variable (air travellers' pleasure) and the independent variable (airport amenities and services) using structural equation modelling techniques (airport service). The study's results showed the constructs' high internal consistency. The study's findings indicated a significant positive relationship between passenger satisfaction and the quality of airport services. The study revealed how considerably each component of the quality of airport services differs from passenger satisfaction

Visions of Empire : How Five Imperial Regimes Shaped the World /
No full textWhat the rulers of empire can teach us about navigating today's increasingly interconnected worldThe empires of the past were far-flung experiments in multinationalism and multiculturalism, and have much to teach us about navigating our own increasingly globalized and interconnected world. Until now, most recent scholarship on empires has focused on their subject peoples. Visions of Empire looks at their rulers, shedding critical new light on who they were, how they justified their empires, how they viewed themselves, and the styles of rule they adopted toward their subjects.Krishan Kumar provides panoramic and multifaceted portraits of five major European empires-Ottoman, Habsburg, Russian/Soviet, British, and French-showing how each, like ancient Rome, saw itself as the carrier of universal civilization to the rest of the world. Sometimes these aims were couched in religious terms, as with Islam for the Ottomans or Catholicism for the Habsburgs. Later, the imperial missions took more secular forms, as with British political traditions or the world communism of the Soviets.Visions of Empire offers new insights into the interactions between rulers and ruled, revealing how empire was as much a shared enterprise as a clash of oppositional interests. It explores how these empires differed from nation-states, particularly in how the ruling peoples of empires were forced to downplay or suppress their own national or ethnic identities in the interests of the long-term preservation of their rule. This compelling and in-depth book demonstrates how the rulers of empire, in their quest for a universal world order, left behind a legacy of multiculturalism and diversity that is uniquely relevant for us today.What the rulers of empire can teach us about navigating today's increasingly interconnected worldThe empires of the past were far-flung experiments in multinationalism and multiculturalism, and have much to teach us about navigating our own increasingly globalized and interconnected world.

Combined Effect of Marble Dust and Steel Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of High Strength Concretes
No full textPresent day construction cost is at its height with using basic materials like cement, coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. Leaving waste materials to nature specifically can bring about environmental issues. Therefore, reuse of waste materials has been emphasized. Industries produce lots of waste materials, which might be helpful in partial replacement of basic materials due to their composition and it can be proved economical. The concrete industry is always searching for supplementary material with the target of decreasing the solid waste disposal issue. As we know concrete is weak in tension so, to overcome this, steel fibers has been used. There are few reuse and recycling solutions for this industrial by product, both in experimental phase and have useful applications. These mechanical wastes are dumped in the close by areas and natural fruitfulness of the soil is ruined. The physical, mechanical and chemical properties of wastes are discussed. In this study, marble powder has replaced sand, the whole research is carried out on M60 grade concrete with partly replacing sand by 0 , 15 , 30 , 45 , and 60 of marble dust, with the addition of steel fibers at ratio 0.8 by volume so as to get greatest compressive strength, flexural strength and furthermore split tensile strength. Based upon the feasibility interpretation it is observed that replacing up to 45 marble powder and 0.8 of steel fibers in concrete is appropriate in conformance with the requirement. The compressive strength and the spilt tensile increased up to 15 replacement, after that they started decreasing.

Seed longevity and storage dependent changes in seed germination aspects of Berberis aristata and B. lycium from Western Himalaya: implications for seed storage and conservation
No full textKrishan R, Sharma RK, Kumar V, Kumar M, Sharma SS. Seed longevity and storage dependent changes in seed germination aspects of Berberis aristata and B. lycium from Western Himalaya: implications for seed storage and conservation. Vegetos. 2023;36(4):1191-1198.Seed longevity is an important feature in the context of agriculture, biodiversity conservation, gene banks and plant adaptation to diverse environmental adversities. It varies extensively, from a few days to many years, in a species-specific manner. The present study was aimed at assessing the seed longevity under ambient storage conditions and characterizing the storage dependent changes in viability, germination and efficacy of certain seed pre-treatments in Berberis aristata Roxb. ex DC. and B. lycium Royle (Berberidaceae) from different altitudes in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India. Both the species have remarkably high medicinal and economic importance and are threatened. The freshly harvested seeds exhibited 100% viability and a reasonably good germination i.e., 53%, 60% and 77% in B. aristata (2400 m), B. lycium (2100 m) and B. lycium (1200 m), respectively, that was further enhanced to varying extents through certain seed pre-treatments. The seed viability status declined consistently with the progression of storage period; in B. aristata, 100% viability status was retained upto 6 months. Storage of seeds for 18 months under ambient conditions led to 33% and 100% viability loss in B. aristata (2400 m), and B. lycium (1200, 2100 m), respectively. A concomitant storage-dependent decline in seed germination was observed. The order of seed longevity (time taken for 50% decline in seed viability) was: B. aristata (2400 m) > 20 months, B. lycium (2100 m) > 10 months and B. lycium (1200 m) > 8 months. The stored seeds responded to various pretreatments in a generally comparable manner to that in case of the freshly harvested ones. The observations on diverse seed biological aspects have direct implications for seed storage, conservation and propagation of the species studied
