No full textTen essays of this book, two of which are written in Sanskrit, range from modern logic to classical Indian theories of inference. Classical Indian philosophy comprising Pracina and Navya- Nyaya, Sankhya, Buddhist and Jaina logical and philosophical standpoints are discussed in most modern technical terms of western philosophy, often with the aid of terminologies of modern logic.

No full textTheory and practice of learning through the family adaptation and field visits in medical school: A reflective perspective
No full textThe major purpose of posting MBBS students in community medicine is to understand the ground realities of different existing problems leading to the disease. The students chalk out possible solutions using the available resources and transform the solution to an intervention explicitly designed for the family or individual. Family Health Advisory Services provides a platform to learn the above intent, make family visits in the community, reach a community diagnosis associated with various prevailing and contributing factors, and finally formulate a structured and specific elucidation to root out the disease or health condition. The village visit during the posting in the department of community medicine is crucial for making the preventive and promotive steps before the arrival of ill-health conditions. It also thrills the motive of different schemes and programs by state and central government in their approach and consequence if appropriately and adequately implemented in the anticipated circumstance and situation. The current article explores how a student utilizes community posting to go deep into a family's running and prevailing problems, identify the responsible and probable causes, and find a feasible and possible solution concerning the family's affordability, accessibility, and acceptability
A Short Biography of Dr Radhabinod Pal, 1886-1967
No full textDr. Radhabinod Pal is an Indian jurist remembered by modern historians for his dissentient judgment at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East convened in Tokyo from 1946 to 1948, in which he held all of the accused not guilty of each and all of the charges brought against them. This paper attempts to bring his biographical data from various sources together and put them in order for the use of Japanese researchers. The main part is a translation of the short biography of Dr. Pal from Bengali into Japanese. It was contained in a booklet handed out by the family of the deceased to the people who attended the funeral service (sraddha) observed in Calcutta in 1967. The text is fully annotated by the author with a body of factual information taken from, first, a series of interviews conducted in Calcutta in September 2008 with Mr. Prasanta Kumar Pal, Mr. Bimal Ray and Mr. Samar Dutt; second, archival material preserved in the National Archives of India, the National Library of Australia and the India Office Library; and third, periodicals and books published in India and Japan. It is unfortunate that grossly distorted stories about Dr. Pal’s life and opinions have been in circulation in Japan for no less than half a century since the Tokyo trial. It is the author’s hope that the present paper will help set them right and lay foundations for assessing Dr. Pal’s dissentient judgment in proper historical perspective
Impact of income inequality on renewable energy demand in south Asian economies
No full textThe demand for renewable energy is growing worldwide due to environmental degradation. However, in poor countries, the use of renewable energy may be impeded by the level of poverty and income inequality. Therefore, this paper studies the income inequality impact on renewable energy demand in seven South Asian economies by using the balanced panel data from 1996 to 2018. The study employs generalized methods of moments (GMM) estimation technique followed by other econometric approaches to check the robustness of findings. The renewable energy demand function includes economic growth, carbon emissions, and government effectiveness as control variables. The study has found the adverse effects of income inequality, economic growth, and carbon emissions on renewable energy demand. Government effectiveness also drives renewable energy use. The findings are robust and reliable concerning panel data methods used in the analysis. These findings bear important policies for a sustainable environment in South Asian economies
