International collaboration and high citation impact – A case analysis of immunology
No full text366-375Bibliometricians emphasize on international collaboration to enhance the citation impact of research publications.
However, Mathew Effect for Countries brings out that the citation impact is not uniformly distributed to all country
affiliations. The present study explores whether international collaboration helps in neutralizing the origin of country bias.
The study explores this with productivity, author affiliation and citation data from Scopus for the immunology papers for the
year 2018. The data considered pertain to India and four comparator countries which are high on international collaboration,
namely Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The results point to playout of Mathew Effect and possible
confirmation of social constructivist argument of citation practices
BUDGETTICKS A MUST FOR THE GOVERNMENT
No full textSYNOPSIS The D.Litt Thesis herewith submitted, namely 'Budgetticks - A must for the Government'. This nature of research comes under the purview of the subject Public Administrations, which happens to be mine own discovery. Presently, there are huge problems in chalking out the yearly budget of the different countries in the present day world. Moreover, the countries which are in the arena of third world and underneath nations, this problem of framing of yearly budget has become a misnomer. The different Governments pertaining to such third world and underneath arena find the same, quite difficult in order to present their budget in thier respective Parliaments, or, before the Assemblies. In fact, there are no relevancies observed to-day, in between the different budgetary provisions (i.e. monetary provisions) and the resultant effects. Here, the Governments are meeting with their drastic failures in providing the people, which are very akin to maintain their lives and livelihoods towards, achieving a conducive sustenance. Here, Budget and its effects make no systematic impact in providing the people, their day to day necessities. Presently, most of the 3rd world and underneath nations are adopting the type of budget which are basically borrowed from the Britishers. During the colonial rule of the Britishers, they have imposed their ideas, their authority, responsibility, accountability, in the shape of forming the Governments, up to their own tastes. Unfortunately such Governments are not finding an outlet to be away from such unsuitable procedural ways as set up towards framing of the budget as made by the Britishers. Of course, partly the British system may have, some help to the capitalistic nations like U.S.A., U.K. and other European countries, but for the people of 3rd world and the underneath nations, this system only provides a distorted, hazy as well as quite an unsuitable order, in consideration to their geographical, social, political and anthropological behavioural orders.

The authors describe the content of the daguerreotypes, identify their formal features and weigh their importance in the history of photography.
Methodology: The authors conducted an in-depth analysis of each daguerreotype in the form of an ad hoc archival description following the international standard ISAD(G), in order to make retrieving information on the content and formal characteristics a more feasible undertaking. The daguerreotypes were also photographed and the images were digitised for the purpose of illustrating the study.
Results: The analysis covers the five categories authorship, artefact, content, sociocultural importance and institution, and it offers these details: the author, Matthew Brady is judged to be a seminal figure in the history of photography; the artefacts themselves are considered works of art and unique museum pieces because of their quality; their content is exceptional because all are portraits of a single child, Guillermo de Osma, and because children were generally an uncommon subject for photographers in the period in question; their sociocultural importance lies in the fact that they are the first photographic models in the history of photography and constitute an addition to the list of known works by Brady currently recorded in Europe (two in the archives of Europeana, and twelve on the Daguerrobase website); finally, the Instituto de Valencia de Don Juan has become the centre holding the greatest number of Brady's daguerreotypes in Europe.Objetivo: analizar los daguerrotipos del prestigioso fotógrafo estadounidense Mathew Brady que se conservan en el Instituto de Valencia de Don Juan de Madrid, con el fin de conocer su contenido, determinar sus características formales y poner en valor su importancia para la historia de la fotografía.

When do special interests run rampant ? disentangling the role in banking crises of elections, incomplete information, and checks and balances
No full textThe author investigates the political determinants of government decisions that benefit special interest groups - especially government decisions to deal with banking crises. He finds that the better informed the voters, the more proximate elections, and the larger the number of political veto players ( conditional on the costs to voters of relevant policy decision), the smaller the government's fiscal transfer are to the financial sector and the less likely the government is to exercise forbearance in dealing with insolvent financial institutions. The results suggest that policies thatmight be appropriate for mitigating banking crises in the United States might be less effective in settings where voters are less informed, where elections are less competitive, and where there are fewer veto players, because in these settings checks and balances are missing. These policies include: a) Disseminating information about the costs of inefficient government decisions. b) Improving the structure of legislative regulatory oversight. c) Intervening early in insolvent banks. The author concludes that the more veto players there are, the less likely policies are to favor special interest groups (contrary to previous views). Moreover, the closer the elections, the less likely policies are to favor special interest groups.
