While traditional Industry 4.0 is studied in the context of smart factories, the authors study it as a metaphor that represents the spill-over effects of digitalisation, high-speed internet, cloud-based super-computing on industry, countries, human resource development and national competitiveness. This chapter analyses the Industry 4.0 steps taken by the United States, Germany, South Korea and India. It compares strategic actions taken by these countries using a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT) analysis to understand the position of each country. The authors use Max Weber’s ideal types as a positivist frame of analysis for the country-level data and from this draws policy recommendations. Based on the current status of India and other countries, the chapter concludes by suggesting short-term, mid-term and long-term strategies to transform India into a highly competitive industrialised economy in the context of the fourth industrial revolution.

RA2Vec: Distributed Representation of Protein Sequences with Reduced Alphabet Embeddings
Publisher: Proceedings of the 11th ACM International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Health InformaticsSeptember 2020, 2020
Abstract

Protein Function identification has become an important task due to a plethora of new genomes being sequenced. Recently, distributed representation [1] of words in the form of continuous vector representations has been found to be a very efficient way to represent semantic/syntactic information. In this representation, each word is embedded in an n- dimensional space with similar words having proximate vectors in the embedding space. In the popular skip-gram configuration, the current word is used by the model to predict its surrounding words. In this work we introduce reduced amino acid alphabets based, distributed representation for protein sequences. In our RA2Vec (Reduced Alphabets to Vectors) implementation we first map all Swiss-Prot sequences to hydropathy and conformational similarity based reduced form. Further, by employing skip-gram based method, reduced alphabets embedding vectors (RA2Vec) were created for each set. Embedding vectors for sequences with original ProtVec representation [2] were also created. These vectors were created for various combinations of K-grams and vector sizes. All seven combinations of the original ProtVec embedding vectors, Hydropathy based embedding vectors and Conformational Similarity based embedding vectors were then employed as input to Support Vector Machines classifiers and classification models were built.
The embedding vectors were further reduced using recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) method to maximize fivefold CV accuracy. We assessed the validity and the utility of the new representations employing five different data sets. Our results with all data sets indicate, certain synergistic combinations of new representations with and without ProtVec embedding can result in significantly improved performance.

Measuring the smartness of a library
Publisher: Library and Information Science Research, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
Traditional libraries around the world are integrating cutting-edge technologies, such as data mining, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and voice-based search, to transform themselves into smart libraries. However, what elements make a library smart? How does one estimate the smartness of a library? To address these fundamental questions five elements and fifteen subelements that make a library smart were identified from a comprehensive review of the literature. A fuzzy-based model for use computing a library's smartness index was developed around these elements/subelements. Ease of use of this model was demonstrated by applying it to measure the smartness of a large academic library in South Asia.

Abstract

We study the evolution and relationships between sub-fields of Physics using the large data set of articles published in the various physical review journals from 1985-2010. Each article is assigned to some PACS codes by their authors which represent specific sub-fields of Physics. We construct a weighted network with nodes as PACS codes and there is a link between two PACS codes if there is an article assigned to both these codes. The weight of a link represents the number of articles in which both PACS codes appears. We study the time evolution of PACS network at various hierarchy levels of PACS codes. We observe that sub-fields Physics of elementary particles and fields, Nuclear Physics and Condensed matter physics have stronger connections inside the field compared to connections to other sub-fields. We also observe that both condensed matter physics sub-fields are strongly related compared to any other pair of sub-fields.

Getting traditionally rooted Indian leadership to embrace digital leadership: challenges and way forward with reference to LMX
Publisher: Leadership, Education, Personality: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
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

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
