Cultural Spectrum in Arvind Adiga’s Selection Days
Get PDFCultural Studies have played a pivotal role in understanding and evaluating the power dynamics of the social, political, economic and ethical world order by empirically engaging and focusing on the present-day culture, tracing its historical roots and explicating its attributes with reference to a particular literary text and its reception in a society. Arvind Adiga, the Man-Booker Prize winning Indo-Australian author, in Selection Day, has adroitly detailed how cricket as an individual entity impacts the cultural phenomena of a society by confronting its inherent myriad issues. The narrative delves deep into the lives of two siblings - Radha and Manju, witnesses the dramatic turnaround of events and tries to capture the themes of unfulfilled desires and preordained destinies. The novel also explores how the sport holds different meanings and significance for different characters, each of whom view the game in the light of their own ideology. The author foresees and sensitizes the theme of homosexuality, which is still a taboo and been unheard of, within the sports fraternity. Adiga’s critique of the parental felony, embodied in Mohan Kumar, and its repercussions is the most compelling theme at the heart of this work of fiction. Selection Day powerfully binds together the societal phenomena of class construction, unquenchable thirst for money, sexual orientations and ideologies with a single thread and studies how culture, in itself, is an ever-evolving phenomenon
Healthcare facilities in developing countries: a case study of Mau, India/ by Amrita Dwivedi, Arvind Kumar Singh and Karm Veer Yadav.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.Beginning with an overview of the distribution and utilization of healthcare facilities in developing countries, this book presents an in-depth investigation of the role they play in Mau district, India. It analyses primary data collected through a sample survey of 680 households selected from 31 villages and two urban centres of Mau district. It then moves on to discuss the conceptual and theoretical framework of healthcare facilities, throwing light on the variation in their availability, accessibility and affordability.1 online resource (235 pages
Highlights of Library Automation related documents in the INSPEC
Get PDFThe paper has attempted to analyse the Library Automation related records in the INSPEC (1969 to July 2004). The growth of Library Automation related literature, country of input, scattering of literature in different publication types, core journals publishing Library Automation related publications, language-wise proportion of the literature, content analysis through keywords/descriptors, availability of URLs (Universal Resource Locator) for full text articles as alternative locations were the main focus of the study. After the year 1984, the literature grows approximately linearly with a growth rate of about 600 items per year. The USA is the predominant publishing country of Library Automation related literature. Journals are the most preferred publication media, followed by Conference/Proceedings-Papers, Book-Chapters, and Reports publications. Most productive journals are: Library Hi Tech, followed by Computers in Libraries, VINE, Information Technology and Libraries, and Program. English articles constitute 91.83% of the total literature. That means the non-English articles constitute only 8.17%. The keyword analysis indicates that the key areas of Library Automation were cataloguing; academic-libraries; information-retrieval; Internet; and information-services. The most occurred URL was http://www.dlib.org/ as alternative locations in the availability notes of Library Automation related records
Emotional Anatomy of Fake News: Leveraging Sentiment and Explainable AI for Misinformation Detection
No full textThe emotional dimension of fake news plays a pivotal role in shaping how misinformation spreads and influences public perception. This study explores the emotional anatomy of fake news by re-annotating the widely used LIAR dataset, creating the Emotion-Labelled Fake News Dataset (ELFND). By leveraging advanced NLP methods, with a focus on VADER sentiment analysis, the dataset categorizes news articles according to emotions tone conveyed. Ensemble machine learning models, Random Forest and Gradient Boosting are employed to detect fake news by analyzing its emotional content. Furthermore, AI explainability methods, including LIME and SHAP, are utilized to offer a deeper understanding of how the model generates predictions, shedding light on how specific emotions contribute to the classification of news as fake. The findings reveal that emotions are crucial in the structure of fake news, and the use of XAI enhances transparency in misinformation detection, offering a clearer understanding of the emotional drivers behind fake news
Coexisting Z-type charge and bond order in metallic NaRu2O4
No full text© 2022, The Author(s).How particular bonds form in quantum materials has been a long-standing puzzle. Two key concepts dealing with charge degrees of freedom are dimerization (forming metal-metal bonds) and charge ordering. Since the 1930s, these two concepts have been frequently invoked to explain numerous exciting quantum materials, typically insulators. Here we report dimerization and charge ordering within the dimers coexisting in metallic NaRu2O4. By combining high-resolution x-ray diffraction studies and theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that this unique phenomenon occurs through a new type of bonding, which we call Z-type ordering. The low-temperature superstructure has strong dimerization in legs of zigzag ladders, with short dimers in legs connected by short zigzag bonds, forming Z-shape clusters: simultaneously, site-centered charge ordering also appears. Our results demonstrate the yet unknown flexibility of quantum materials with the intricate interplay among orbital, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom.11Nscopu
Examining the Interplay of Sovereignty and Supranationalist Ideas in International Law
Get PDFObjective: The complex relationship between sovereignty and supranationalist conceptions is investigated in the context of international law. Since they coexist, intricate relationships have developed, which impact the global legal order. In an increasingly interconnected and transnationally challenging world, this research emphasizes the need of grasping this dynamic. The potential of this research to resolve the conflict between national sovereignty and cooperation on global issues gives it great significance. The research sheds light on how to tackle global issues like climate change, human rights breaches, and cross-border economic conflicts by examining the theoretical limits and practical ramifications of supranationalist initiatives.
Method: This paper proposes a multidisciplinary method for analysing Jurisprudential Discourse Network Analysis (JDNA) of International Agreements. This method offers a holistic comprehension of the diverse character of sovereignty and supranationalism by integrating legal analysis, political theory, and international relations. This research has wide-ranging practical implications, which are not limited to the development of international treaties and accords and the reform of global institutions. Finding areas of agreement and common interests aids in diplomatic negotiations and promotes global collaboration.
Result: This analysis uses modern facilities computer models to simulate a number of situations that illustrate the relationship between sovereignty and supranationalism in concrete settings.
Conclusion: A framework for evaluating the outcomes of the offered methods and extracting useful information from the data is provided by the Node Metrics and Edge Metrics parameters. These settings can be modified and fine-tuned according to the needs of a certain study and the information at hand
