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.

Malaysian residential mortgage loan default: a micro-level analysis
Publisher: Review of Behavioral Finance, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
This study investigates factors contributing to residential mortgage loans default by utilizing a unique dataset of borrowers' default data from one of the pioneer lending institutions in Malaysia that provides home financing to the public. Studies on mortgage loan default have been extensively examined, but limited studies utilize the individual borrower's data, as financial institutions generally hesitant to reveal their customers' data due to confidentiality issue.

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.

Eat Well : Smart Intervention Plan for Bulimia in the Indian Context
Publisher: Journal of Psychosocial Research 13 (2), 369-380, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
There has been an increase in the incidence of eating disorders worldwide in recent times, particularly among the cohort of adolescent girls. It is known that psychological factors of shame and guilt associated with binging and purging are often seen in individuals with bulimia. These cognitions could also cause the individual to refrain from seeking one-on-one professional help. Given the Indian sociological context, virtual intervention in the form of online counselling and other such platforms may prove to be a direct, confidential and affordable solution, in comparison to traditional one-on-one counselling. This paper thus discusses the idea and design for a phone app – ‘Eat Well’ targeted specifically to help individuals with bulimia, in a manner that would be relevant to the Indian context

Interdisciplinary Curriculum and Leadership Education: The Case of FLAME University, India
Publisher: In: Nishimura M., Sasao T. (eds) Doing Liberal Arts Education. Education Innovation Series. ?Springer, Singapore, 2019
Abstract
|
Links
FLAME University can truly be said to be a pioneer of liberal arts education in India. This chapter provides a historical perspective to the current Indian higher education system and its deficiencies. It explains why and how FLAME came to depart from conventional university education and nurture the intellectual and personal development of the individual rather than provide a narrowly academic and vocational course of study. FLAME’s model of liberal arts education is based on an inter- and multidisciplinary approach to cultivating thoughtful, sensitive, tolerant, ethical, and well-informed citizens who can occupy leadership positions in all walks of life. But as shown, it also has its roots in Indian culture and philosophy, as shown in the Discover India Program which also serves as an example of the intersection of interdisciplinary learning and personal development. The chapter concludes with the lessons learned and challenges that remain.
