Performing intimacy: slavery and the womans voice in eighteenth-century Marathi lavani
Publisher: South Asian History and Culture, 2021
Abstract

Links
This article provides an optic for understanding the genre of the Marathi love lyric, lavani (lāvaṇī), and its emotionality. The genre reached its greatest popularity during the turn of the nineteenth century, receiving broad popular support as well as patronage from the Maratha State. Often contrasted with the povada (povāḍā), defined essentially as a heroic ballad that recounts the feats of larger than life historical persons, the two have been seen in tandem, paired for their characterization of masculine valour and feminine eros. Each genre, relying on the other to form a complete picture, providing the appropriate context in a dialogue of genres. Despite the contrast and obvious references to warfare in the povada, however, most scholars have not acknowledged the eros of lavani as a product of its historical circumstances. Instead, generations of scholars have often characterized lavani as immoral, about women who are ready to swindle heroic men out of their hard-earned riches – riches earned from plunder and warfare in the eighteenth century

Noise-induced Extinction in a Bistable System
Publisher: Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
A considerable amount of analytical work has been done in recent years to understand extinction in finite discrete population systems in the presence of demographic noise. This has been made possible by advances in employing the WKB method for solving a wide variety of stochastic single population systems. Previous works have focussed on extinction in logistic/Verhulst-type models with a single stable fixed point, Allee-type models which has an additional unstable nonzero fixed point and switching behaviour of bistable finite population systems. However, the mean extinction time in bistable systems with an absorbing state hasn’t received much focus in these studies. In this work, we study the mean extinction time (MTE) in a phenomenological single population model exhibiting bistability using the WKB method. The quasi-stationary distribution (QSD) is derived in the limit of a large parameter, N, of the model, and by matching the QSD in different regimes of stability, an analytical expression for the mean extinction time has been derived. The MTE is exponentially large in N but shows a significant reduction in the extinction time due to the presence of bistable fixed points as compared to models that have only single stable states such as the Verhulst model. It is demonstrated that the analytical results compare well with that derived from direct numerical calculations.

Drivers Of Future Savings Of Malaysian Households
Publisher: Journal Of Economics And Sustainability, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
The households’ savings in Malaysia have shown a deteriorating trend that negatively impacts their financial security. The Financial Inclusion and Capability Study of BNM (2016) indicates that merely 6 percent of Malaysians could survive for more than six months and 18 percent up to three months if they lose their main source of income. Thus, it is imperative to examine the drivers of future savings of Malaysian households. A sample of 1,106 bank customers in three cities of peninsular Malaysia was recruited, and the descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) were employed. The results reveal that about 25 percent of households are not likely to make any changes in their savings profile in various financial and physical assets. The drivers of future saving are found to be socio-demographic parameters, such as age, education level, the number of working members in the household, and income, and other parameters, such as the percentage of income saved, and the period of the saving plan, which have a significant relationship with the change in future savings of the households. The policy implications of the findings are also presented.

Feature Selection Using Equilibrium Optimizer
Publisher: Springer, Singapore., 2021
Abstract
|
Links
To tackle the problem of the feature selection, the newly introduced algorithm of equilibrium optimization is featured in this paper. The algorithm is inspired from dynamic mass balance inside a control volume. Each agent (particle) updates concentration with best solutions obtained so far leading to equilibrium state, i.e., optimum result. To find effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, it was tested on 13 benchmark datasets from UCI machine learning repository from different domains.

Innovative approaches to entrepreneurship education at FLAME University in India
Publisher: In: Neck, H.M. and Liu, Y. (Eds), Innovation in Global Entrepreneurship Education - Teaching Entrepreneurship in Practice , 2021
Abstract
|
Links
Entrepreneurship and startups have recently increased significantly in India. The government has initiated several measures to boost the startup ecosystem. Most universities in India now offer entrepreneurship as an introductory course. Because most courses at the university level in India are theoretical and classroom-oriented, entrepreneurship is also taught more theoretically. Yet, entrepreneurship education is a practical discipline and cannot be taught in or restricted to the classroom and lecture. Hence, the pedagogical approach of teaching needs to shift from passive learning to more experiential approaches, which is the domain of andragogy and heutagogy, as opposed to pedagogy. FLAME University in Pune, India, has transitioned from the pedagogical approach to andragogical and heutagogical approaches in its series of entrepreneurship courses. This chapter describes the innovative approaches used at FLAME University in entrepreneurship education.

Carbon footprints and identification of ways to reduce it for Pharma Industries in Maharashtra
Publisher: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 2021
Abstract

Links
Pharmaceutical sector is one of the largest industrial sectors in India and has been a power intensive industry. In addition to this, it is one of the largest employments generating industry, having said so it is also one of the largest contributors to the Carbon emissions in the environment. With increase in global demand the production capacities have been increased but many of the sectors continue to operate on the similar model as theyused to operate in the past decade, which is not the sustainable model in the long runespecially in lieu of the global warming and deteriorating climatic conditions. In continuation to the earlier study carried out on “Market Analysis of Energy Management in Pharmaceuticals and Steel Industry in Maharashtra” - ISSN NO : 2249-7455. This article studies the possibilities for deployment of new and clean energy for bulk power consuming industry likePharmaceuticals Sector, which can help them reduce carbon emission in addition to cost reduction of their power requirement.
