Leadership has been a topic of great interest for researchers, business people, educators, and government officials alike over the years. Leadership as a theoretical construct has undergone a great deal of changes as a result of changes such as modernization, globalization and most recently digitalization. Taking into account the various changes that the internet and cloud computing has introduced in the organizational systems and processes across the globe, it is prudent to understand the relationship between leadership and digitalization to foresee how leaders should prepare themselves to cater to the challenges of the future. Leadership is indeed an ever-evolving concept, and so is technology; of which digitalization is an outcome. Most inquiries about such a relation are being well executed by the western cultures. Exploring the relationship between leadership and digitalization in the eastern cultures, especially India becomes more significant; as the technology is booming and drastically changing how daily activities are carried out as an influence of digitalization. With over 40% of the Indian population subscribed to the internet, and through the efforts made by the public and private sectors, India is on the way to being a technologically advanced country. India is also the largest base of digital consumers. Leaders struggle to lead in such challenging situations; which are becoming more volatile. It is imperative to examine what capacities, abilities and competencies leaders already have and what they need to further improve upon, in order to lead effectively in the digital world. To examine the overall context of Indian traditional leadership, leader–member exchange is seen to be a relevant theory. At last, challenges and gaps are discussed and the notion of “creative personality” is recommended for Indian leaders to cater to the digital changes.

China’s “great overseas propaganda” under the belt and road initiative
Publisher: In: China?s Search for ?National Rejuvenation?: Domestic and Foreign Policies under Xi Jinping, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
This chapter aims to delineate and trace the development of China’s “Great Overseas Propaganda” strategy in the context of the BRI. It suggests that the CPC’s propaganda campaign has evolved and become more intricate and indirect with the Party in the background. To increase China’s visibility, the CPC has used multipronged ways, including acquisition of and collaboration with foreign media (especially, media entities in BRI countries); increasing appearance via internet-based media and reliance on Chinese social media platforms to indirectly spread propaganda and create positive images of China. The “Grand Overseas Propaganda” strategy and BRI are mutually supporting: while infrastructure diplomacy creates the demand for positive news of China either domestically or in the host countries, by “telling a good story about China”, “Grand Overseas Propaganda” also facilitates China’s infrastructure export to other countries.

Renegotiating dimensions of the self: A systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis of the lived experience of self-managing rheumatoid arthritis
Publisher: Health Expectations, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Background: As chronic illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), place an increased burden on health-care systems, the ability of individuals to self-manage these diseases is crucial. Objective: To identify and synthesize the lived experience of self-management described by adults living with RA. Design: A systematic search of five electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO and ASSIA) was undertaken to identify relevant studies. Data were extracted and quality-assessed using CASP guidelines. A meta-synthesis was conducted based on Thomas and Harden's thematic synthesis approach. Results: The search identified 8423 publications. After removing duplicates, 6527 records remained of which 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. Quality of studies was moderate to high, yet a considerable lack of reflection on researcher bias was evident. Our analysis identified 28 dimensions of self-management RA across six domains: (a) cognitive-emotional, (b) behavioural, (c) social, (d) environmental, (e) physical and (f) technological. Cognitive-emotional experiences dominated the analysis. Renegotiating ‘the self’ (self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy) was a key focus of self-management among individuals with RA. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the focus of ‘the self’ as a central concern in the self-management of RA. Standardized self-management programmes may primarily focus on disease management and daily functioning. However, we suggest that personal biographies and circumstances should move to the fore of self-management support. Registration: PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews 2018: CRD42018100450. Patient or Public Contribution: Patient and public involvement was not explicit in this review. However, three authors provided a patient perspective on the self-management of arthritis and autoimmune disease.

Comparative analysis of green house gases emission in conventional vehic les and electric vehicles
Publisher: International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology, 2020
Abstract
With the global warming increasing day by day, depletion of Ozone at alarming rate. Green House gases (GHGs) emissions rate not decreasing and Countries not Milling to reduce industrial emissions at the expense offinancial growth. Authorities have now started thinking of alternate ways to reduce pollution. Some of the few are power generation from Nuclear energy, Wave, Wind, Solar energy. Increasing the efficiency of fossil fuel plants, absorbing the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from these plants and not letting them go to air and store them deep inside the sea. Alternate propulsion vehicle like Electric Vehicles (EVl, Hydrogen-powered vehicle, Liquefied natural gas (LNG) to reduce Green House gases emissions to the atmosphere are a few steps towards reducing emissions. With increasing support from Governments worldwide viz. India, United States, China, Germany and Europe emphasis is being given to EV technology, and we may see EV replacing the conventional Gasoline and Diesel powered vehicle, we will observe a decline in sales figure of the same in coining years. Electric Vehicles (EVs), as expected to help save energy and reduce carbon die oxide emissions, are facing a rapid growth in China [1]. A general perception is built amongst masses that Electric vehicle (EV) is Zero-emission vehicles. This study provides a comprehensive review of the emissions from EVs and whether they reduce the Green House gases. It is based on relevant published literature related to ertvironmental more specifically to Green House gases implication of Electric vehicle. Another objective of this stud)' is to throw light on Electric Vehicle, Battery of Electnc Vehicle, Fuel Used in Electric Vehicle, Pollutions if any emitted from Electric vehicles, Life of these vehicles and Impact on Green House Gases

Urban heat island effect of a polynuclear megacity Delhi ? Compactness and thermal evaluation of four sub-cities
Publisher: Urban Climate, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Planning for sustainable cities generally focuses on compact, human-scale cities. The urban paradigms underlying each city produce morphologies which generate a distinctive local urban climate. In this paper, four sub-cities in Delhi NCR, India, are classified using local climate zone (LCZ), and then analysed for thermal performance and compactness. These sub-cities are broadly classified as a garden city (LCZ 5A), a resettlement colony (LCZ 3), a mixed land-use city (LCZ 5), and an industrial city (LCZ 56). The surface UHI (UHISurf) is estimated using Google Earth Engine with MODIS, canopy layer UHI (UHIUCL) with meteorological data, and density using Spacematrix. The nighttime UHIUCL is 7.52 °C (LCZ 5 and LCZ 5A) and the UHISurf is 5.2 °C (LCZ 5 and LCZ D). A major apprehension is the residual temperature at sunrise (5–8 °C) leading to high heat stress and detrimental health impacts. The heating and cooling rate, reduced by a factor of three is observed (LCZ 5–0.25 °C/h). The least UHI is experienced by LCZ 5A and the built density is highest in LCZ 3. The mixed-land use (LCZ 5) city performs poorly, whereas the industrial city (LCZ 56) performs optimally on both thermal and density scales.

63 Moons-NSEL Merger: A Boon or a Bane for the Stakeholders
Publisher: Asian Case Research Journal, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, had ordered the mandatory merger of 63 Moons Technologies Limited (63 Moons) with its crisis struck subsidiary company, National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL), the electronic commodity spot exchange of India. However, 63 Moons’ board and promoters did not agree with the forced merger order as they believed that they were not at major fault behind the NSEL payment crisis. The case provides an opportunity to participate in the real-world complex decision-making process which involves the forced merger of two entities that may affect the interest of various stakeholders. The case allows examination of the issues such as related party transactions, internal monitoring and control processes, organizational structure and the regulatory framework which led to the payment crisis.
