Get PDFTHE ROLE OF MUSIC AND ART IN TAREQUE AND CATHERINE MASUD\u27S FILM MUKTIR GAAN The Bangladeshi documentary Muktir Gaan (Song of Freedom)(1) by Tareque & Catherine Masud earned international recognition as did the directors\u27 autobiographical Maatir Moyna (Clay Bird).(2) The statement of the juries of Film South Asia \u2797 reads: \u27For its powerful recreation of the euphoria of an event long forgotten by the world, the Jury would like to make a Special Mention of the film Muktir Gaan by Tareque and Catherine Masud.\u27(3) The euphoria of victory brought by Bangladesh\u27s Liberation War against Pakistan in 1971 was an event of profound political significance. The author aims to shed light on the form of realism the documentary presents, which is enhanced by its remarkable use of music and cinematic techniques.

Exploring the new physics phases in 3+1 scenario in neutrino oscillation experiments
No full text© 2021, The Author(s).The various global analyses of available neutrino oscillation data indicate the presence of the standard 3 + 0 neutrino oscillation picture. However, there are a few short baseline anomalies that point to the possible existence of a fourth neutrino (with mass in the eV-scale), essentially sterile in nature. Should sterile neutrino exist in nature and its presence is not taken into consideration properly in the analyses of neutrino data, the interference terms arising due to the additional CP phases in presence of a sterile neutrino can severely impact the physics searches in long baseline (LBL) neutrino oscillation experiments. In the current work we consider one light (eV-scale) sterile neutrino and probe all the three CP phases (δ13, δ24, δ34) in the context of the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and also estimate how the results improve when data from NOvA, T2K and T2HK are added in the analysis. We illustrate the ∆χ2 correlations of the CP phases among each other, and also with the three active-sterile mixing angles. Finally, we briefly illustrate how the relevant parameter spaces in the context of neutrinoless double beta decay get modified in light of the bounds in presence of a light sterile neutrino.11Nsciescopu
Introduction: Must We Burn Masud Khan?
No full textFree access to the published article is kindly provided by Edinburgh University Press online at: https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3366/pah.2024.0506 .Following the publication of a first instalment of the 39 Work Books of M. Masud R. Khan in November 2022 and the recent donation to the Freud Museum London of the full original correspondence between Khan and Wladimir Granoff, and between Khan and Victor Smirnoff, this essay serves the dual purpose of ensuring that Khan’s memory is being kept alive and informing its readership of the newly available archival documents. It briefly retraces the history of Khan’s conflicts with the British Psychoanalytical Society up to the destruction, in July 2019, of the Khan archives that were in the possession of the International Psychoanalytical Association. In addition, the author recounts how he came into possession of the letters Khan exchanged with Granoff and Smirnoff, and why it was decided to establish a Khan archive at the Freud Museum London. The prospect of this new archive being supplemented with the letters from Khan to his second wife, Svetlana Beriosova, and a full copy of the Work Books is also discussed
Evolution of neutrino mass-mixing parameters in matter with non-standard interactions
No full text© 2021, The Author(s).We explore the role of matter effect in the evolution of neutrino oscillation parameters in the presence of lepton-flavor-conserving and lepton-flavor-violating neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI) of the neutrino. We derive simple approximate analytical expressions showing the evolution of mass-mixing parameters in matter with energy in the presence of standard interactions (SI) and SI+NSI (considering both positive and negative values of real NSI parameters). We observe that only the NSI parameters in the (2,3) block, namely εμτ and (γ − β) ≡ (εττ− εμμ) affect the modification of θ23. Though all the NSI parameters influence the evolution of θ13, εeμ and εeτ show a stronger impact at the energies relevant for DUNE. The solar mixing angle θ12 quickly approaches to ∼ 90° with increasing energy in both SI and SI+NSI cases. The change in ∆m21,m2 is quite significant as compared to ∆m31,m2 both in SI and SI+NSI frameworks for the energies relevant for DUNE baseline. Flipping the signs of the NSI parameters alters the way in which mass-mixing parameters run with energy. We demonstrate the utility of our approach in addressing several important features related to neutrino oscillation such as: a) unraveling interesting degeneracies between θ23 and NSI parameters, b) estimating the resonance energy in presence of NSI when θ13 in matter becomes maximal, c) figuring out the required baselines and energies to have maximal matter effect in νμ → νe transition in the presence of different NSI parameters, and d) studying the impact of NSI parameters εμτ and (γ − β) on the νμ → νμ survival probability.11Nsciescopu

Multiparty Computation: The effect of multiparty computation on firms' willingness to contribute protected data
No full textOrganizations share data for collective purposes: new opportunities are created to allow business enhancement. While new businesses contribute to economic development, valid reasons exist to inhibit data sharing (e.g. citizen privacy and sensitive information). Multi Party computation (MPC) provides a solution to these risks. However, MPC implementation remains limited, and we lack knowledge about the willingness to use MPC-enabled applications in organizational settings. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of MPC on organizational willingness to contribute protected data for collective purposes. We ask: "To what extent does MPC affect organizational perception of the contribution of protected data?" From the quantitative assessment, MPC enhances organizational perceptions of data contribution and therefore significantly increases perceived trustworthiness and perceived security. Both of these aspects are found to be important and of approximately equal importance when considering contribution of protected data. That is, both are considered as the locus of willingness to contribute protected data through a web-based application. From the qualitative assessment, it is assumed that the positive contribution of MPC herein is because it allows data contribution independently from conventional data processors, which typically have access to raw data. The extent to which MPC increases perceptions depends on the extent to which an organization is able to assert the trustworthiness of the application and the security measure used by the application. MPC also affects perceived relative advantage. A weak correlation is reported between perceived relative advantage and willingness to contribute protected data, suggesting that relative importance is not perceived to be important as perceived trustworthiness and perceived security with respect to willingness to contribute protected data. Nevertheless, MPC also seems to enhance perceived relative advantage. Finally, although the relative advantage of MPC was not perceived as necessary, several findings are reported to further enhance the utility provided by an MPC application.Safe-DEE
Challenges in managing a multigenerational and diverse workforce
No full textClick on the DOI link to access this book chapter (may not be free).The author analyzes how demographic changes in different parts of Asia have led to a workforce that is increasingly multigenerational and diverse. This creates both challenges and opportunities for managers. Given the geographic vastness and diversity of Asia, the author takes a brief look at demographic change in its different regions - Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia. The author examines one country from each region and a major employer from that country. Companies across Asia are emphasizing continuing learning and a more inclusive workforce. There is an increased emphasis on automation and digitization in countries with older populations. Demographic change across regions creates possibilities for companies to diversify their value chains to take advantage of differential aging. It is important for managers to realize that an aging and multigenerational workforce can lead to not only challenges but also opportunities to make the workforce more productive and inclusive
