    "Age of Entanglement: German and Indian Intellectuals across Empire." Kris Manjapara. Harvard University Press. January 2014. --- In this book, Kris Manjapara sets out to explore patterns of connection linking German and Indian intellectuals from the nineteenth century to the years after the Second World War. The author attempts to trace the intersecting ideas and careers of a diverse collection of individuals from South Asia and Central Europe who shared ideas, formed networks, and studied one another’s worlds. Ankit Kumar recommends this book to those studying world history, geopolitics, postcolonialism and development

    Bayesian attributed network sampling

    No full text
    We address the problem of sampling in attributed networks. While uniform sampling is a task independent sampling method, in real-world, this is often difficult to implement as it requires random access to all the nodes of graph. Link tracing sampling methods such as random Walk, expansion sampling overcome this problem, however they do not utilize the information provided by attributes of the nodes and just use the topology of the graph. We propose a network sampling method which is task independent and utilizes the node attributes. Our approach is based on introducing maximum unfamiliarity in each sampling step and it uses Bayesian approach to asses the familiarity of neighboring nodes with respect to the current sample.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

    Book review: biopolitics of security: a political analytic of finitude

    No full text
    Taking its inspiration from Michel Foucault, this volume of essays integrates the analysis of security into the study of modern political and cultural theory. Ankit Kumar argues that although the book is dense and written in a language that would connect only to academic audience, this book will appeal to a wide-range of specialists from those in theory and philosophy of security and government, global terror, politics, sociology and human geography

    RETRACTED ARTICLE: Psychological predictors behind the intention to drink and drive among female drivers: Application of extended theory of planned behavior

    No full text
    We, the Editor and Publisher of Traffic Injury Prevention, have retracted the following article: Ankit Kumar Yadav. Psychological predictors behind the intention to drink and drive among female drivers: Application of extended theory of planned behavior. Traffic Injury Prevention. 2020. https://doi.org/10.1080/15389588.2019.1703961. The author has requested the retraction of his article due to an error in one of the collected psychological measures. During data extraction, the responses for ‘attitude’ and ‘intention’ measures were switched and may have influenced the findings from the developed regression model and its results. As a result, the Editor and Publisher have agreed to retract the article in full. We have investigated and have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.</p

    #IWD2016 Book review: the biopolitics of gender by Jemima Repo

    No full text
    In The Biopolitics of Gender, Jemima Repo traces a genealogy of ‘gender’, arguing that it is not an inherently feminist term, but rather emerged historically from the study of intersex and transgender people in the fields of sexology and psychology in the 1950s and 1960s. Positioning gender as a historically located biopolitical apparatus, Repo therefore questions its utility for contemporary feminist theory and politics. Ankit Kumar finds this a highly useful book for those interested in feminist thought as well as biopower, and hopes for future dialogue with works from the Global South that can contribute to forging a wider genealogy of ‘gender’
