The Contributions of Professor Amartya Sen in the Field of Human Rights
No full textThis paper analyses the work of the Nobel Prize winning economist Professor Amartya Sen from the perspective of human rights. It assesses the ways in which Sen's research agenda has deepened and expanded human rights discourse in the disciplines of ethics and economics, and examines how his work has promoted cross-fertilisation and integration on this subject across traditional disciplinary divides. The paper suggests that Sen's development of a 'scholarly bridge' between human rights and economics is an important and innovative contribution that has methodological as well as substantive importance and that provides a prototype and stimuli for future research. It also establishes that the idea of fundamental freedoms and human rights is itself an important gateway into understanding the nature, scope and significance of Sen's research. The paper concludes with a brief assessment of the challenges to be addressed in taking Sen's contributions in the field of human rights forward.Amartya Sen, human rights, poverty, freedom, obligation, capability approach, meta-rights, entitlements, opportunity freedom, liberty-rights

OVERCOMING POSITIVISM IN ECONOMICS: AMARTYA SEN'S PROJECT OF INFUSING ETHICS INTO ECONOMICS
No full textLogical Positivism, which arose in philosophy early in the twentieth century, proclaimed the sharp distinction between facts and values. Despite objections at the time, positivism was imported into economics in the 1930s. Over time, objections lessened; economics was transformed and ethical considerations were driven out of its core. In the 1950s, debates about positivism arose within the discipline which had exported it. According to the American philosopher Hilary Putnam, the fact/value distinction is now discredited in philosophy. If that is so, the methodological foundations of contemporary economics are also discredited. In this article I examine Amartya Sen’s moral science of economics. First, I will present his historical account of the connections between economics and ethics. Sen claims that there was a close connection between the two until positivism was imported. Second, I will sketch some of Sen’s ethical objections to modern economics, which is still suffering from positivism. Finally, I will lay out some of his ideas on how economics can be returned to an ethical path. Once the ground has been cleared of positivism, ethics can re-emerge in economics in various ways. One path has been marked out by Sen.Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,
An LSTM-based approach to detect transition to lean blowout in swirl-stabilized dump combustion systems
No full textLean combustion is environment friendly with low NOx emissions providing better fuel efficiency in a combustion system. However, approaching towards lean combustion can make engines more susceptible to an undesirable phenomenon called lean blowout (LBO) that can cause flame extinction leading to sudden loss of power. During the design stage, it is quite challenging for the scientists to accurately determine the optimal operating limits to avoid sudden LBO occurrences. Therefore, it is crucial to develop accurate and computationally tractable frameworks for online LBO prediction in low NOx
emission engines. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, we propose a deep learning approach to detect the transition to LBO in combustion systems. In this work, we utilize a laboratory-scale swirl-stabilized combustor to collect acoustic data for different protocols. For each protocol, starting far from LBO, we gradually move towards the LBO regime, capturing a quasi-static time series dataset at different conditions. Using one of the protocols in our dataset as the reference protocol, we find a transition state metric for our trained deep learning model to detect the imminent LBO in other test protocols. We find that our proposed approach is more precise and computationally faster than other baseline models to detect the transition to LBO. Therefore, we endorse this technique for monitoring the operation of lean combustion engines in real time.This article is published as Gangopadhyay, Tryambak, Somnath De, Qisai Liu, Achintya Mukhopadhyay, Swarnendu Sen, and Soumik Sarkar.

Adventure Tourism and its Future Potential in Ha Tinh, Vietnam
No full textDue to the lack of information about adventure tourism, the client of the thesis, Thanh Sen Travel was not consider adventure tourism as the product of the company. With the belief that Ha Tinh was a potential city to develop adventure tourism, the purpose of the thesis was to investigate the possibility and potential of the city. Therefore, the thesis would provide the company with more information about adventure tourism, identified potential locations and customer segments. The author wanted to persuade the company to add adventure tourism as a new feature to attract new customers coming to the region.
In addition to secondary sources, primary sources were collected via individual qualitative interview of 9 travelers to find a potential target tourist group. Thanh Sen Travel helped the author in discussing the potential adventure tourism activities as well as giving local data to help with the completion of the thesis
Modeling of turbulent premixed flames using flamelet-generated manifolds
No full textEfficient and reliable numerical models have become important tools in the design and optimization process of modern combustion equipment. For accurate predictions of flame stability and pollutant emissions, the use of detailed comprehensive chemical models is required. This accuracy, unfortunately, comes at a very high computational cost. The flamelet-generated manifold (FGM) method is a chemical reduction technique which lowers this burden drastically, but retains most of the accuracy of the comprehensive model. In this chapter, the theoretical background of FGM is briefly reviewed. Its application in simulations of premixed and partially premixed flames is explained. Extra attention is given to the modeling of preferential diffusion effects that arise in lean premixed methane–hydrogen–air flames. The effect of preferential diffusion on the burning velocity of stretched flames is investigated and it is shown how these effects can be included in the FGM method. The impact of preferential diffusion on flame structure and turbulent flame speed is analyzed in direct numerical simulations of premixed turbulent flames. Finally, the application of FGM in large-eddy simulations is briefly reviewed

Article and Author Level Measurements
No full textArticle and author level measurements have been discussed in this Unit. Author and researcher identifiers are absolutely essential for searching databases in the WWW because a name like D Singh can harbour a number of names such as Dan Singh, Dhan Singh, Dhyan Singh, Darbara Singh, Daulat Singh, Durlabh Singh and more. The ResearcherID.com, launched by Thomson Reuters, is a web-based global registry of authors and researchers that individualises each and every name. Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is also a registry that uniquely identifies an author or researcher. Both have been discussed in this Unit. Article Level Metrics (Altmetrics) has been treated in this Unit with the discussion as to how altmetrics can be measured with Altmetric.com and ImpactStory.org. Altmetrics for Online Journals has also been touched. There are a number of academic social networks of which ResearchGate.net, Academia.edu, GetCited.org, etc. have been discussed. Regional journal networks with bibliometric indicators are also in existence. Two networks of this type such as SciELO – Scientific Electronic Library Online, and Redalyc have been dealt with. This Unit discusses in details aspects such as Unique Identifiers for Authors and Researchers; Article Level Metrics (Altmetrics); Academic Social Networks; and Regional Journal Networks with Bibliometric Indicators
