No full textOxford University Press has just published a five-volume box-set entitled B.R Ambedkar: The Quest for Justice. In this post, the collection’s editor Aakash Singh Rathore discusses the origins and rationale of this massive project devoted to the life and legacy of the famous jurist and social reformer and briefly sketches its contents across the five volumes. Dr B.R. Ambedkar is a celebrated LSE alumnus. You can find out more about his life and his time at LSE on LSE History blog. B.R. Ambedkar: The Quest for Justice. Aakash Singh Rathore (ed.).

In Sangam literature, the Muthal, Karu, Uriporul of Maruthamthinai
No full textSangam literature is the historical vault of the Tamils. Among them, the culture of Tamils. Various biological ideas on culture are spreading. These are often found to be a five -fold of Kurunji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal, Paalai. Among these, the land of the field is a field -based resource. Therefore, the majority of the people living here are living in agricultural lands. The industry they do will also be agricultural. Therefore, this article is described as the Muthal, Karu and Uriporul
Shakespearian Tragic Traits in Bharathiraja's Muthal Mariyathai
No full textThis paper will illustrate the Shakespearian tragic traits implied in the Tamil movie
Muthal Mariyathai, directed by Mr P. Bharathiraja. There is always a touch of
poetic emotions and sublime experiences. In the words of critics, the tragedies are
nothing but a tale of sympathy. Generally, in a tragedy, the protagonist suffers a lot.
Besides, there are some usual characteristics observed almost in all tragedies for
instance supernatural elements, the role of con ict, poetic justice, fate, change in
character, comic relief, weakness of the hero, use of irony, catharsis of emotions,
etc

No full textThis is an accepted manuscript of a chapter published in B R Ambedkar: The Quest for Justice by Oxford University Press, edited by Aakash Singh Rathore: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/b-r-ambedkar-the-quest-for-justice-9780190126292?cc=gb&lang=en&#
The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.Dr Ambedkar argued that habitual conduct with the backing of religion is not easy to change and that salvation will come only if the caste Hindu is ‘made to think and is forced to feel that he must alter his ways’. He meant that the casteist conduct of the
‘caste Hindu’ is hard to change because it springs from an ingrained habit of mind. The impetus to change ways can come from unexpected contingencies: impersonal political junctures, very personal histories, inter-personal challenges, intra-group
skirmishes, a whole network of factors that brings the habitual conduct of caste up for scrutiny. This mix of factors is quite complicated in the U.K. where I am located as a researcher and academic, regularly engaging with the public. We need to think
through the means of defiance against systematic oppression and stigmatisation of people on the basis of caste. In this paper I will reflect upon whether caste might be disrupted in its everyday reproduction through the use of counter-rituals.This is a draft of a chapter that has been accepted for publication by Oxford University Press in the forthcoming book B.R. Ambedkar: The Quest for Justice edited by A. S. Rathore, due for publication in 2020
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A Global Analysis on Microgrids through the PESTEL Framework
No full textMicrogrids enable distribution of electricity with higher shares of variable renewables, higher power quality, greater reliability and higher efficiency. There are a large number of factors in addition to the technology, which affect their shift towards market competitiveness and widespread adoption. The PESTEL framework, covering Political, Economic, Social, Technical, Environmental and Legislative factors, is used to identify and describe the drivers and barriers for microgrid development at the global level. The framework enables a broader approach to describe potential for microgrid applications. The results aim to provide engineers, project developers and microgrid specialists with an overview of the prospects for microgrid deployment.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Energy Technolog
Towards Optimization of <i>μ</i>-Injection Molding Process for a New V-Shaped Geometrical Component Using X-ray CT-Based Quality Characterization
No full textThe influence of micro-injection molding process parameters on a molded component’s quality is very prominent. Depending on the functional performance of the part, the desired quality is defined by several criteria which may include dimensional tolerances, shrinkage/warpage, fiber characteristics, and internal defects. A correlation of process parameters with the defined quality attributes needs to be investigated for a new geometrical component. In this work, a micro-component with a new V-shaped geometry is chosen, as this type of geometry finds potential applications in the medical industry. The parts are manufactured with polyoxymethylene resin with a full-factorial design of experimental plan with investigating parameters of mold temperature, melt temperature, injection speed, and packing pressure. The number of internal pores and amount of volumetric shrinkage are identified as the critical quality criteria and the effect of the process parameters is studied with respect to those criteria. The measurement results indicated that the presence of pores is inevitable within the chosen process window; however, the amount can be minimized with careful selection of process settings. Moreover, the statistical analyses demonstrated the significance levels of the process parameters
