Henry Moore?s Narayana and Bhataryan: theatre of sacrifice
Publisher: Sculpture Journal, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
Henry Moore’s unpublished play Narayana and Bhataryan (c. 1919) was first performed in 1920 at Castleford Secondary School. Moore wrote, performed in and designed the programme for this play. Despite timely theatrical returns to Moore’s only surviving literary creation, this play has not yet been the subject of in-depth critical study. Using archival research, this article engages with the play’s early indication of Moore’s sculptural tendencies. It traces the play’s parallels with another play produced in the early twentieth century: Rabindranath Tagore’s Sacrifice. Doing so highlights the cross-cultural echoes that exist in Narayana and Bhataryan, its relationship to early twentieth-century global modernist movements, the thematic presence of posture, architecture, ritual and trauma, and the emergence of Moore’s lifelong concerns with the mother and child and the human body. This article places Moore’s play in critical relationship to his sculpture and introduces his lone contribution to the fabric of modern drama as having cross-cultural relevance in the 1980s when an exhibition of his work toured India.

Work from Home Among Start-ups in India: An Institutional Logics Perspective.
Publisher: Emerald Publishing, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
In this chapter, the authors study work from home (WFH) and work from office (WFO) formats using institutional logic. Four start-ups in India have been studied using qualitative interview data reflecting their transition to WFH during the COVID-19 crisis and subsequent nationwide lockdown. Institutional logics is the framework drawn upon to enhance our understanding of the phenomenon. While conceptualising institutional logics in the context of WFH and WFO, the authors discuss the implications of WFH for both entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. Finally, it is proposed that hybrid workspaces may be the way for the future.

Exploring relationship between sustainability and firm performance in travel and tourism industry: a global evidence
Publisher: Social Responsibility Journal, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
"Purpose
The study aims to investigate the relationship between aggregate and individual dimensions of sustainability and financial and stock market performances of the firms in the travel and tourism industry (TTI) across different geographies.
Design/methodology/approach
The sample under study consists of 146 firms belonging to TTI that have consistently obtained environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating over the period 2011–2017 as a part of Thomson Reuters Asset 4 ESG database. An empirical multivariate panel data model is developed to analyse the impact of sustainability (ESG) on firm profitability and market value within three tourism-related industries (transportation, hotel and leisure).
Findings
The study extends the existing literature by investigating the impact of each of the vital dimensions of sustainability performance – ESG – and examines how each dimension would affect financial performance and market value among firms within three tourism-related industries (transportation, hotel and leisure). Among the three tourism industries, hotel industry is observed to have the highest ESG compliance, followed by the transportation industry. Based on the agency and stakeholder theory, the authors hypothesized all ESG components to have significant positive effect on the financial and stock market performance; however, the results reveal that each dimension has different impact on financial performance and market value of firms in the tourism industry.
Research limitations/implications
The study could help firms in the travel and tourism industries to understand which of the dimension of ESG activities is significantly important for their financial and stock market performance.
Originality/value
The unique contribution of this study is that it considers wider definition of the term “Sustainability” and examines the relationship between financial and stock market performances of the firms and each component of ESG. This is one of the few studies at the global level that provides much needed evidence in the area of sustainability performance by the travel and tourism firms."

Abstract
|
Links
Communication skills are a fundamental requirement to effectively carry out job responsibilities. In this paper, we explain the process by which a course on non-written communication skills for management students in India was designed and delivered. The course objectives, expected learning outcomes, content, pedagogy and evaluation are described. The group and individual exercises for evaluating skills of presentation, listening, group discussion, public speaking and personal interview are also discussed. Through this paper, the importance of a structured pattern of activities, relevant procedure for evaluation, explicit instructions, and a detailed feedback mechanism for an effective learning of non-written communication skills are highlighted. The unique contribution of the course is in helping faculty plan pedagogy for a basic course on business communication. The course has stood out in terms of its exclusive focus on evaluated exercises, time and attention devoted to feedback and relevance of the content to the management field.

Exogenous addition of silicon alleviates metsulfuron methyl induced stress in wheat seedlings
Publisher: Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
Uncontrolled application of herbicides in the agricultural field poses a severe risk to crops by affecting their yields. Therefore, methods are required to reduce the toxic effects of herbicides in plants. Studies indicate that silicon (Si) provides tolerance and enhances defence mechanism of the plant against abiotic stress. But its role in alleviating Metsulfuron methyl (Meth) herbicide induced toxicity in wheat seedlings is still not known. This study highlighted the potential of exogenous addition of Si in the alleviation of toxic effect of Meth herbicide in wheat seedlings. The exposure of wheat seedlings to Meth herbicide reduced the growth, photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant enzyme activity and nitric oxide (NO) content. Further, Meth herbicide also increased cell death and decreased cell viability in root tips. However, addition of Si reversed Meth-induced these alterations. Moreover, Si also activates antioxidant system which helps in scavenging of free radicals generated under Meth herbicide stress in wheat seedlings. Application of Si to Meth treated wheat seedlings also up-regulated silicon transporter gene Lsi1 (silicon influx transporter) and some of the antioxidant enzyme genes. All together, the data indicate that Si has capability of alleviating Meth herbicide stress in wheat seedlings but it appears that endogenous NO has a positive role in this endeavour of Si.

Observing impact of profession change on ?habits of mind?: A factor oriented approach
Publisher: SAGE Journals, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
A common observation in Transformative Learning (TL) literature is the scarcity of ways to gauge the extent of personal transformation. This is despite a recorded history of more than four decades and the existence of multiple schools of thought in TL. Also, there has been insufficient exploration of the personal transformation of profession changers in the TL space. We believe it is important to operationalize the key concepts of the TL theory through quantitative methods to make way for newer insights. In this paper, using the case of profession changers from India, we extend Mezirow’s work on six types of ‘Habits of Mind’ beyond their original conceptualization by identifying constituent latent factors. We examine and establish the reliability and validity of these factors and recommend a factor-based scale approach for application.

The term climate change is often bandied about to refer to changing weather patterns, but such usage of the term is shorn of the nuanced and technical meaning it is endowed with. A comprehensive definition of climate change incorporates a host of related technical aspects. On the other hand, India, like other developing nations, bears the brunt of changing weather patterns more than the developed economies.

Evolution of interdependent co-authorship and citation networks
Publisher: Scientometrics, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Studies of bibliographic data suggest a strong correlation between the growth of citation networks and their corresponding co-authorship networks. We explore the interdependence between evolving citation and co-authorship networks focused on the publications, by Indian authors, in American Physical Society journals between 1970 and 2013. We record interactions between each possible pair of authors in two ways: first, by tracing the change in citations, they exchanged and, second, by tracing the shortest path between authors in the co-authorship network. We create these data for every year of the period of our analysis. We use probability methods to quantify the correlation between citations and shortest paths, and the effect on the dynamics of the citation-co-authorship system. We find that author pairs who have a co-authorship distance d ≤ 3 significantly affect each other’s citations, but that this effect falls off rapidly for longer distances in the co-authorship network. The exchange of citation between pairs with d = 1 exhibits a sudden increase at the time of first co-authorship events and decays thereafter, indicating an ageing effect in collaboration. This behaviour suggests that the dynamics of the co-authorship network appear to be driving those of the citation network rather than vice versa. Moreover, the majority of citations received by most authors are due to reciprocal citations from current, or past, coauthors. We conclude that, in order to answer questions on the nature and dynamics of scientific collaboration, it is necessary to study both co-authorship and citation network simultaneously.

Stakeholder engagement for innovation management and entrepreneurial development: A meta-analysis
Publisher: Journal of Business Research, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The focus of this paper is to reviews contemporary studies in entrepreneurship literature related to innovation management (IM), stakeholder engagement (SE), and entrepreneurial development (ED), using bibliometric techniques and longitudinal statistical analysis of 1059 articles published in the Journal of Business Research (JBR) and other relevant business and management journals indexed in Scopus from 1974 untill July 2020. We have employed a structured literature review and meta-analysis to explore the emerging research patterns in prospective observational studies encompassing the field of ED, SE, and IM. Our findings suggest that it may be worthwhile to mention that dynamics of the interaction of SE, IM, and ED are shaping the scholarship of academic research in entrepreneurship. Our meta-analysi-s reaffirms that contemporary research conducted at the intersection of SE, IM, and ED is indicatesive of the consolidation of these tenets in future research in entrepreneurship leading to an integrative view. Following our meta-analysisinally, we have presented future research directions at the intersection of SE, IM, and ED for entrepreneurship research.

Saffronizing the periphery: Explaining the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party in contemporary Assam
Publisher: Studies in Indian Politics, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The remotely located and relatively marginalized states of northeast India have historically been a Congress bastion, despite posing continued challenges to the nation-building project through many insurgency movements. The success of the grand old party depended on creating ‘umbrella coalitions’ with diverse ethnic groups to sustain power. However, since General elections 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has successfully challenged the dominance of Congress, particularly in the state of Assam. In this context, this paper seeks to discuss recent shifts in electoral dynamics in Assam and its implication for a region hitherto considered peripheral. The paper situates the BJP’s emergence as the new locus of power in the long-term processes of party politics in Assam and discusses the resultant shifts in social alignments, cleavages and political issues in the multi-ethnic landscape of the state. It also explores the role of the RSS in negotiating its larger ideological interests with local political realities of the state and its ability to appropriate local cultural symbols. The paper concludes that the unprecedented rise of the BJP, which is a result of the changing political opportunity structures in Assam, will nevertheless be tested severely due to the state’s multi-ethnic character and complex, localized social fault lines.

Synergistic Biophysical Techniques Reveal Structural Mechanisms of Engineered Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides in Lipid Model Membranes
Publisher: Chemistry - A European Journal, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
In the quest for new antibiotics, two novel engineered cationic antimicrobial peptides (eCAPs) have been rationally designed. WLBU2 and D8 (all 8 valines are the d ‐enantiomer) efficiently kill both Gram‐negative and ‐positive bacteria, but WLBU2 is toxic and D8 nontoxic to eukaryotic cells. We explore protein secondary structure, location of peptides in six lipid model membranes, changes in membrane structure and pore evidence. We suggest that protein secondary structure is not a critical determinant of bactericidal activity, but that membrane thinning and dual location of WLBU2 and D8 in the membrane headgroup and hydrocarbon region may be important. While neither peptide thins the Gram‐negative lipopolysaccharide outer membrane model, both locate deep into its hydrocarbon region where they are primed for self‐promoted uptake into the periplasm. The partially α‐helical secondary structure of WLBU2 in a red blood cell (RBC) membrane model containing 50 % cholesterol, could play a role in destabilizing this RBC membrane model causing pore formation that is not observed with the D8 random coil, which correlates with RBC hemolysis caused by WLBU2 but not by D8.

Thelast decade has seen a surge in genome assembly and sequencing technologies. From the good old DNA sequencing and electrophoresis reads enunciated by Sanger, Maxam, and Gilbert, several tools were embodied through the use of these methods and yet, the challenges these methods imposed have had a paradigm shift. In this focused review, we provide a gist of the tools used by the genome assemblers and discuss the challenges and implications of the next generation sequencing chemistries shaped up by the development of tools.

Do oil and gas price shock have impact on bank performance
Publisher: Journal of Commodity Markets, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The paper examines the impact of oil and gas price shocks on bank performance in the major oil and gas exporting GCC countries, using data for the period 2000–2017. Results indicate that oil and gas price rises have a direct bearing on bank performance through the channel of price-induced bank deposits and related lending to business activities. The negative impact on bank performance due to a drop in oil and gas prices is greater than the positive effect of a rise in prices. Findings suggest that oil and gas price volatility has an asymmetric effect on conventional and Islamic banks. Conventional banks reap more benefit from the increased cash flow created by oil and gas prices, compared to Islamic banks. While Islamic banks are generally vulnerable to adverse oil and gas price shocks, conventional banks tend to benefit more from positive oil and gas price shocks. The association between oil and gas price shocks and bank performance in GCC has been distorted by the global financial crisis, the Arab Spring, and the ongoing Yemen War, which have lowered performance. The findings of the study have significant policy implications for the central banks as well as the governments in the oil and gas-exporting countries.

Reflections on sea turtle conservation
Publisher: Oryx, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Why do sea turtles garner such intense interest? The answer is visceral: they are widely loved! A cryptic life cycle spent mostly out of view lends a sense of mystery that makes them special. Yet, these large animals are highly accessible at an extremely vulnerable time, when females emerge on sandy beaches at night to lay eggs, before disappearing again into the oceans. Being nocturnal, they provide us the adventure of going out in the dark on secluded beaches to find them. Plus, the hatchlings are cute, and releasing them into the sea must be one of the most engaging activities that people can do with a protected species.
