Impact of ICT’s on State Fragility: A Global Perspective

The objective of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on State Fragility in the globe. For this purpose, fragility index has been taken as dependent variable and collected data on fragility from “Fund for Peace”. ICT index is taken as independent variable which includes, cell phone subscription, internet access and landline users. Data on ICT and all other independent variables has been accessed from World Development Indicators (WDI) from 2006 to 2016 for 146 countries. This study also used some control variables; FDI, Savings, Privatization, Education and Agriculture sector for authentication of the findings. After compilation of all the information, Panel Fixed and Panel Random Effect models have been applied followed by Hausman Specification Test for model selection. After empirical investigation, it has been found that ICT is one of the important variable which influences the indicators of fragility and fragility index also. This study has also used multiple models for analysis and policy perspective. Overall findings indicate that agriculture value added, savings, foreign direct investment, domestic credit to private sector and enrollment in secondary education show negative relationship with state fragility, but female labor force, birth rate, death rate, and urban population are positively associated with state fragility. This is need of the day to expand the access to ICT for affordable and reliable information for the development of poor economies. In current scenario of the globe, every country is desired to launch a comprehensive program for the expansion of ICT in each sector of their economies, which will further enhance the monitoring and evaluation of the running projects for pro-poor and sustainable development.

Status of Open Source Software for Digital Libraries in Telangana (A Study Conducted on Private Colleges)

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of digital libraries and digital resources through open source software which is highly in demand in the private colleges of Telangana. This study was conducted in 123 private colleges of Telangana only. These colleges were divided subject-wise like Engineering, Pharmacy, and Management. This paper is based on survey methodology and a sampling technique was used for the collection of data. In this survey, we have found some problems faced by the management and librarians to develop digital libraries to access digital resources in their college with freely available software in markets like Dspace, Greenstone, and KOHA to install and access digital resources. The problems were faced due to the lack of soft skills in ICT techniques and IT technology of the present era. The finding/suggestion to overcome these problems is that training should be given to the librarians in soft skills in ICT, through workshops and training.

An analysis of the use of gerunds in academic essays of university students

At higher educational institution, students are expected to have acquired a certain level of English language mastery to fulfill the demands of academic writing. One of the grammatical items that is crucial in expressing the students’ ideas and opinions is gerund. The use of gerunds in academic essay helps students to be more precise and concise. However, this poses a problem as students do not use gerunds as frequently and as correctly as expected. Thus, this study intended to investigate the use of gerunds and to determine the functions of gerunds used in students’ academic essays. In order to explore the uses and functions of gerunds, data were collected from students’ academic essays. These data were analysed using textual analysis based on the framework of Seiss (2008). The findings show that on average, only a minimal of two gerunds were used in an essay and in total, there were 260 gerunds used in 100 essays. Another finding revealed that students used all functions of gerunds except It-Replacement function. This study implicates a better understanding on the use of gerunds (or lack of it) in academic essays and on the teaching of academic writing at tertiary level.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES OF M.E. SALTYKOV-SHCHEDRIN AND F.M. DOSTOEVSKY

In his novel "The Golovlyov Family" Saltykov-Shchedrin creates the image of the protagonist, whose behavior and the peculiarities of interior life coincide with the description of mind structure and interior life dynamics of a person in Freud's psychoanalysis. Examining the mechanism of unconscious lie Saltykov-Shchedrin shows how a person who is unconsciously lying to himself can start living in a world of fantasy and even come to necessity to eliminate any ideas about real life. Dostoevsky in "Notes from Underground" considers that an unconscious liar lost in the labyrinths of his own lies can end up losing the sense of self.
Performance Evaluation of New Hybrid Appraoch of Load Balancing in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is an evolving phenomenon this year that incorporates multiple areas of computing efficiently. Cloud Computing provides users with many on-line resources, such as: storage, process control, networking, databases, servers, low cost and energy virtual servers. In cloud networking environments, load balancing is the primary concern. A technique that spreads load between the nodes in a system is LB (load balancing). The primary aim of load balancing is to use resources and to improve performance. It also eliminates nodes that have a lot of data or are overwhelmed, as well as nodes that aren't doing well or are just doing a small amount of work. By combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm, we proposed a hybrid algorithm, namely particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm (HPSOGA) (GA). Our hybrid algorithm, along with the normal PSO and genetic operators, has an important objective function..
Scientometrics As An Instrument of Social Stratification in Russian Science and Higher Education

Usually scientometric indicators for assessing the effectiveness of workers in the field of science and higher education are considered from the standpoint of their criticism, identifying the limits of applicability, the impact on the quality of professional activity of workers. However, like any tools for managing social work, indicators of its effectiveness also have important social consequences. On the one hand, the assessment of the work of researchers and teachers using the Hirsch index and the number of publications in the Scopus and Web of Science systems was closely related to a significant increase in the level of remuneration of these workers compared to the average wage levels in the Russian economy. But, on the other hand, there are opportunities for the formation of large differences in the levels of wages in science and education, and, hence, for the stratification of workers employed in these industries, the rich and the poor. This social stratification is the result of the inclusion of noncommercial activities in market relations.
