Sampling hurdles : “Borderline Illegitimate” to legitimate data.
No full textIn this paper the author discusses how sampling access and recruitment problems encountered in an in-depth interview study heightened her sensitivity to “borderline illegitimate” data. The term illegitimate data usually refers to the data collected during a covert study, whereas “legitimate” data are collected during an overt study. Hence, data collected during any nonconsented period(s) of an overt study lie on the borderline of illegitimacy and legitimacy, and constitute what the author calls borderline illegitimate data. Such data need legitimization before use. The borderline illegitimate data were collected during the pre- and postinterview stages of her study as they explained how medical and ethnic cultures and sensitivity to racism as a topic combined to create sample recruitment difficulties of the study. The author later legitimized them by sharing them with the participants, guaranteeing anonymity, and asking their permission to use them
Preventive strategies for common mental disorders
No full textCommon Mental Disoders (CMDs) include depressive and anxiety disorders; one in five individuals, worldwide, gets afflicted with CMDs over lifetime. A wide range of preventive strategies have shown promise when implemented across different stages of lifespan. There is a common thread of emerging preventive strategies for CMDs on the lines for those already established for non-communicable diseases. In India, although there is emerging research in this area, the much required prevention is still in its incipient stage. Some critical issues in planning research and implementing preventive strategies are also outlined to provide a more appropriate perspective
Unpacking the impact of the TikTok ban on local content creators and the rise of Indianized social media apps.
No full textThis paper investigates the repercussions of the TikTok ban in 2020 and the subsequent migration of local content creators to alternative platforms, with a particular focus on the identity negotiation of the marginalized LGBTQIA+ community. The author positions this paper as an exploration of the displacement experienced by rural young queers in expressing their queerness following the ban. TikTok was a platform that transcended class barriers and provided an equal platform for socioeconomically diverse users. However, its ban led to the emergence of Indianized social media apps that have further segregated the classes. The author argues that this phenomenon requires academic attention because the rise of these Indian apps coincides with the overshadowing of right-wing populism. By exploring these complex dynamics, this paper contributes to the understanding of the impact of digital media on the social fabric of contemporary India.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/177335/1/15-Garg-Tiktok-Social Media and Society in India Proceedings-66-72-10.73027932.pdfSEL

Leggett-Garg inequalities for quantum fluctuating work
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from MDPI via the DOI in this recordThe Leggett-Garg inequalities serve to test whether or not quantum correlations in time can be explained
within a classical macrorealistic framework. We apply this test to thermodynamics and derive a set of LeggettGarg
inequalities for the statistics of fluctuating work done on a quantum system unitarily driven in time. It
is shown that these inequalities can be violated in a driven two-level system, thereby demonstrating that there
exists no general macrorealistic description of quantum work. These violations are shown to emerge within the
standard Two-Projective-Measurement scheme as well as for alternative definitions of fluctuating work that are
based on weak measurement. Our results elucidate the influences of temporal correlations on work extraction
in the quantum regime and highlight a key difference between quantum and classical thermodynamics.HM is supported by EPSRC through a Doctoral
