Urvashi: A novel
No full textUrvashi is based on the universal theme of an obsessive love of a young man for a young woman. It\u27s a story that\u27s repeated in every age and culture, in the lives of countless young men and women. Porus Chaturvedi, a young upper-caste corporate executive in India, decides to pursue, as his perfect match, a lower-caste girl (named Urvashi) not yet out of high school. Complicating this love affair are Porus\u27s endless, bookish attempts to theorize life; his recruitment of a disparate band of sympathizers to act as go betweens and to help him strategize ; his erotic fantasies followed by his torturous self-indictment; his inability to face the girl of his dreams outside of those dreams; and, finally, obstructing Porus at every step, the intractable social milieu whose foundation was laid by Porus\u27s own ancestors---the Vedic Brahmins; The story is told in the first person, by Porus himself, recalling events from his life occurring between 1992 and 1997. Eventually, Porus marries a Brahmin girl, the daughter of an ex-soldier and his young second wife

Understanding the processes of Information Systems deployment and evaluation: The challenges facing e-health
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Information Systems (IS) innovations in healthcare sector are seen as panacea to control burgeoning demand on healthcare resources and lack of streamlining in care delivery. Two particular manifestations of such innovations are telehealth and electronic records in its two forms: the electronic medical records and the electronic health records.
Deployment efforts concerning both of these IS-innovations have encountered a rough terrain and have been slow. Problems are also faced while evaluating the effectiveness of innovations on health and care delivery outcomes through strategies such as randomised controlled trials- particularly in case of telehealth. By taking these issues into account, this research investigates the issues that affect IS innovation deployment and its evaluation.
The strategy adopted in this research was informed by recursive philosophy and theoretical perspectives within IS that strived to expound this recursive relationship. It involved conducting two longitudinal case studies that are qualitative in nature. The first study involved telehealth deployment and its evaluation in the UK, while the second case study involved the deployment of electronic medical/health records in the US. Data was collected through focus group discussions, interviews and online discussion threads; and was analysed thematically.
The results of this research indicate that there are nine issues that arise and affect the deployment and evaluation of IS innovation in healthcare; and these are design, efficiency and effectiveness, optimality and equity, legitimacy, acceptance, demand and efficacy, expertise, new interaction patterns, and trust.
These issues are attributes of relationships between the IS innovation, context of healthcare and the user. The significance of these attributes varies during the deployment and evaluation process, and due to iterative nature of IS innovation. This research further indicates that all the attributes have either direct or indirect impact on work practices of the user.Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare (MATCH
