Published: November 2023

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of funding decisions, investment decisions, profitability and firm size on firm value at LQ 45 listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This research is an associative research. The data collection method used is the Sample Survey method using secondary data sources in the form of quantitative data, namely annual financial reports obtained from www.idx.co.id. The results of the panel data regression analysis show that financing decisions proxied by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) have a positive effect, but not significantly to firm value. Meanwhile, investment decisions proxied by the Price Earning Ratio (PER) have a positive and significant effect on firm value. Profitability proxied by Return on Assets (ROA) has a positive but not significant effect on firm value, while firm size (Size) has a negative but not significant effect on firm value. It is hoped that this research can be taken into consideration by investors in making investment decisions.

THE MARKETING OF NILGIRI POTATOES
Authors:   Organising Repersentative, Parry & Co Coonoor, S DORAISWAMY AYYAR
Published: November 2023

Potato growing in the Nilgiris is over a century old. Except for a few persons who grow potatoes on a large scale employing hired labour, potato growing is chiefly confined to the Badagas who form the bulk of the population in the Hills. They generally put their own labour and cultivate small areas. In their holdings near the village, forking of the land is done by the male members and practically all other operations are done by the female members of the family. For cultivation of large areas away from the village, groups of 4 to 20 persons according to the extent of the land, take up joint cultivation. In case of need, men and women coolies are also employed. This is very common in bringing into cultivation new jungle land. This involves considerable labour and expense, but, if conditions are favour- able, bumper crops are obtained from such new lands.
SOME ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE MARKETING OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE IN INDIA.
Authors:   Maharaja's College of Arts, Trivandrum, N.S NARASIMHA AIYANGAR
Published: November 2023

It is a matter of happy augury that the orga- nisers of this Conference have directed our attention to such vital problems as 'Marketing' and 'Irrigation'. The Royal Commission on Agriculture in India remarked: "The Agricultural Department in India have regarded the problems connected with the marketing of the cultivator's produce as generally outside their purview." Their valu- able services for improving the quality and increasing the output of his crops have therefore been rendered infructuous by his inability to dispose of his produce at a profit. But quite recently there has been a change in the attitude of the Government Departments. Thanks to the recommendation of the Royal Commission and the deplorable effects of the present economic depression, the question of marketing has now come to the forefront. A marketing officer has recently been appointed in our province and he is just now touring the country to learn the needs of the agriculturists and devise methods of improving his bargaining power. A discussion on Agricultural Marketing' is therefore quite opportune at the present moment.

A long educational tour is one of the many attractions of the II year, and we were looking forward eagerly to such a tour and lo! it started on the 4th of January. Visiting district after district, we were a happy party seeking knowledge from those "toilers of the soil" whose vocation, if less dangerous, is certainly more noble than that of the "toilers of the sea". At Nandyal, we meet at noon on the 4th of January. The evening is spent in going about the Farm, where the cholam ears brush across us, the giant grass forms an arch over the hunds and the spotted yellow cotton flowers are vivid on a back-ground of green. A little channel runs across the Farm, its babbling music floating through the air-the only water source for the Farm in the arid tract. The next morning we are busy in a groundnut factory.

FRUIT FLIES AND THEIR ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE IN S. INDIA
Authors:   Entomologist, Madras Agricultural Department, T.V RAMAKRISHNA AYYAR
Published: November 2023

In a tract like South India where the benefits of a liberal use of fruits in the daily dietary of our households has not yet been suffici- ently appreciated as in many western countries, neither the cultivation of fruit crops nor the study of the diseases and pests they are subject to has received that serious attention which such problems deserve. It is needless to add that fruit trees are as much subject to the atten- tions of insect pests as are many of our staple food and other cultivated crops and if one takes some little trouble to estimate the loss caused by insect pests to our fruit trees, it will be found proportionately as substantial as is the loss caused by pests of paddy, cotton and other field crops. Among the various insect pests attacking fruit trees those popularly known as "Fruit flies" occupy a very important status in all the fruit growing areas of the world. In this province, though we find different kinds of these fruit flies attacking various fruits and damage to crops is generally realised, we have hardly any previous records on the biological or economic aspects of South Indian fruit flies excepting a few references of a taxonomic nature. In these days of quick and easy transportation facilities between different parts of the world.
INDIGENOUS GOATS OF THE PRESIDENCY AND THEIR ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE

Published: November 2023

There are 7,406,018 goats in the Madras Presidency, according to the information available in the latest copy of the Season and Crop Report (1933-34). Their distribution in various districts arranged in order of rank is, Trichinopoly-which tops the list,一 with 6,59,557 goats, Salem, Coimbatore, Tanjore, Chittoor, Madura, Nellore, South Arcot, Vizagapatam. Anantapur, Malabar, Ramnad, North Arcot, Tinnevelly, Cuddapah, Kurnool, Ganjam, Bellary, Chingleput, East Godavari, Guntur, Kistna, West Godavari and South Kanara with 27,711 goats which takes the last place. In 1932, when the writer visited the American Arcot Mission Agricultural Institute, Katpadi, for the first time, the Principal Mr. J. J. De Valois, showed him two breeds of goats viz, the Janma-Pari and the Surati, he had imported with a view to improving the local stock. It was then suggested by the writer that it was worth while submitting a breeding scheme to the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, requesting financial help. A draft scheme was prepared and submitted through the Government of Madras. In the preliminary remarks of the scheme Mr. J. J. De Valois stated "In connection with my activities in Rural Reconstruction in the villages of South India during the past twelve years, I have been impressed with the fact that the depressed classes and the smaller ryots find it almost impossible to raise and maintain a decent breed of milch cattle. They cannot afford the initial outlay nor take the chance or mortality resulting from numerous diseases and difficulties arising from present village conditions and communal grazing. As milk is such an essential item in the diet I am persuaded to remark that goat the "poor man's cow should receive more attention. No systematic improvement has yet been undertaken by any agency either official or non-official. Much prejudice exists against the use of goat's milk which can only be broken down by a vigorous educational programme with actual demonstra- tions"
DETERIORATION IN THE QUALITY OF CAMBODIA COTTON
Authors:   Cotton Specialist,Coimbatore  641 003, V RAMANATHA IYER
Published: November 2023

Recently the attention of the Department was drawn by the Secretary, Indian Central Cotton Committee, Bombay, to an impres- sion gaining ground among a certain section of cotton trade and mill industry in Bombay that, of late, the quality is steadily deteriorating in Southerns cotton, in which Cambodia exported from Tirupur. Coimbatore, and Pollachi has also been mentioned. Such an opinion. is rather unexpected in view of the fact that cotton is one of the crops to the improvement of which Government are ever paying the greatest attention. Amongst the several measures taken in this direction dur- ing the past 15 years or more, may be enumerated the evolution of high yielding strains like Co. 2, arrangements for the rapid multipli- cation and sale of the seed of these improved types to the growers, the enacting of the Cotton Pest Act against the spread of cotton pests causing damage to both quality and quantity, the passing of the Cotton Transport Act against the import of inferior cottons into tracts where cottons of quality are being grown, the enforcement of the Cotton Control Act which penalises the grower of low grade cotton in such tracts, the introduction of a Market Act for the securing of better prices, and the insertion of certain clauses in the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act to prevent inadvertent mixing.
CULTIVATION OF KORAI (CYPERUS TEGETUM) OR MAT GRASS IN NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT
Authors:   Agricultural Demonstrator Cheyyar, N KRISHNA PILLAI
Published: November 2023

Korai is one of the few crops that can profitably be grown on heavy clay soils, deficient in drainage and consequently regarded as unfit for cultivation. Low-lying lands below tanks and also swampy and saline lands could successfully be planted with this crop. The culms of this grass, supply raw material for the manufac- ture of mats, so commonly in use in almost every Indian household. The cultivation of this crop in India is however limited to a few places in the Bengal and Madras Presidencies. In the District of North Arcot. there is a fairly large area under this crop in Cheyyar and Wandiwash Taluks, the villages of Vadanangur in Cheyyar Taluk and Tennangur in Wandiwash Taluk contributing the largest portion. In recent years the area has considerably decreased due to scarcity of water. Though the industry has to some extent suffered in common with others in the general trade depression, it has however not been so much affected since it is not influenced by the fluctuations of foreign markets.

The 'Soorai' disease of paddy is caused by a mealy bug-Ripersia oryzae, Green,-belonging to family Coccidae, order Rhynchota. The insects suck the plant sap and, as a result of their attack, the affected plants get stunted in growth. In severe cases of infestation the earheads get smothered and either fail to emerge from the sheath or when emerged do not produce healthy grains. The nfestation is seen to occur in patches in the field.
THE LEAF-CURL DISEASE OF CHILLIES CAUSED BY THRIPS IN THE GUNTUR AND MADURA TRACTS

Published: November 2023

Chillies (Capsicum annum) is one of the important erops grown widely for use both as a green vegetable and as a dry stored product for condiment, pickles, etc.; it is one of the chief commercial crops in the Guntur district in the Northern Circars and in the Periyakulam area in the Madura district. In recent years, this crop has been noted to be subject to a serious disease known as the leaf-curl' disease. Though there may be other factors causing this leaf curl, one important causative agent noted is a tiny insect called chillies thrips (Scirtothrips dorsa is, Hood), about 1/25 in length and having a straw yellow colour. This minute active insect attacks the plant in all its stages, sucks up the sap from the tender portions and causes the leaf to shrivel up. The adult has wings and flies away when disturbed. Specimens of this creature can be easily collected in all stages of growth from plants in any infected field. The description of this insect and some notes on its bionomics are given by Hood (1919) and the senior author (1928.)
A NOTE ON THE CULTIVATION OF ELEPHANT YAM (AMORPHOPHALLUS CAMPANULATUS) IN CHITTOOR TALUK
Authors:   Agricultural Demonstrator Chittor, N ANNASAMY IYER
Published: November 2023

The Chittoor variety of Elephant Yam known as का (Chenai) in Tamil and (Theeyakandu) in Telugu, has a reputation in the markets of the surrounding districts. The normal area in the taluk is 300 acres, but due to low prices, the area has decreased to 240 acres, in the last season. The average area grown by a ryot is about ten cents and the maximum area grown by a single individual is about thirty cents. The crop is generally grown pure, though other vegetables like radish, onions, brinjals, bhendai, etc. may be found to be grown along the sides of irrigation channels, for sometime during the growth of the crop.
A RESUME OF THE INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE SECOND CROP PROBLEM OF THE GODAVARY DELTA
Authors:   SuperIntendent Agricultural Research Station Maruter, C.R SRINIVASAN
Published: November 2023

The Godavary irrigation system comprises the delta portions of the two revenue districts of the East and West Godavary and it supplies water annually for raising two crops of paddy. In most of the irrigation projects of the southern Presidency, a short first crop is closely followed by a long duration second crop; while in the Godavary delta a long duration variety is cultivatel between June to November and is followed after an interval of two months by a short duration second crop of Dalva (as it is locally known) between February and May. Due to the insufficiency of water supply in the river, hetween the months of February and April, the area allowed for the dilua cultivation is about 28 per cent. of the first crop and on the whole comes to about 200,000 of acres, of which the Western Delta alone contributes 125,000 acres.

The uren under sorghum in the Nandyal tract is fairly extensive and comprises the whole of the Kurnool district, paris of Cuddapah, Anantapur and Nellore districts and portions of the Nizam's dominions. The whole of this area is under one variety-n compact-headed yellow type called 'Patcha jonna'. Early trial of other types such as the famous white or Tella jonna of Bellary and some red sorghums were not found useful at the Nandyal Station. Further work was therefore more or less confined to the Patuta jonna and covers a wide field of agricultural experiments on the varietal. manurial and cultural side. A few aspects of this work are presented in this paper as throwing light on some fundamental problems associ- ated with agricultural improvements and the methods adopted to attain them.

Pempheres affinis or the cotton stem weevil, as a pest of indigenous and exotic cottons is of considerable importance in South India. It is not definitely known when and how this pest was introduced into this country; in fact it is even difficult to say whether it is one of the introduced forms at all; although the nature of its scattered and somewhat isolated distribution would appear to indicate its exotic origin. When first noticed in South India it was found to be confined to the Coimbatore district and to the Cambodias in particular. Since then, it has spread to almost every cotton-growing centre of the Presidency and to all types of cotton.
THE MANGO FRUIT PRESERVE
Authors:   Village Investigator Narasapatam, K RANJASWAMI
Published: November 2023

The mango fruit is admittedly the best of all fruits. Containing the vitamins necessary for proper nutrition, the fruits may be eaten in plenty. There is a method of drying the fruit juice by which surplus fruits could be utilised during seasons of plenty. This mango fruit-preserve has many virtues of the fruit. There is no satisfactory device known to garden-owners for preserving the fruits, but the fruit juice can be, by a cheap process, dried and kept over two years without undergoing deterioration. Very few, in the circars, take to this business, and most garden-owners allow their surplus pro- duces to rot in the market, or to be disposed off at a loss. As a subsi- diary occupation in the mango season, the manufacture of the preserve can be taken up and if possible exported with profit. The mango juice preserve compares favourably with foreign jams, jellies, and other inuch advertised preserves. The author studied the preparation of the juice practically, with a view to find how far it would pay him and since the results were promising, he ventures to publish this. note, so that the method might become known to a wider circle.
THE POSITION OF MADRAS IN THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY OF INDIA

Published: November 2023

The tobacco plant has advanced from the status of a weed to that of a highly cultivated plant of major social and economic importance. As a source of revenue this has gradually become supreme so far as the plant products are concerned. In all civilised countries it is now an important source of revenue. The advancement of tobacco is due to its smoking qualities. A perusal of its history reveals the high place it occupied in religious ceremonies in the past, and the present high status in medical and social fields. It was introduced into India about 1605 (Watt), and the earliest experi- ments recorded on this crop date as far back as 1786 (O'Connor, 1873). The habit of smoking has increased so much that since 1914 there has been a sudden increase in the consumption of tobacco in the form of cigarettes.

Published: November 2023

In the Season and Crop Report for 1932-33, it: 15 stated that the area under sugarcane in Chittoor and North Arcot districts was 10,995 and 9,041 acres respectively. The chief cane grow- ing districts in the Presidency arranged in order of rank are, Vizaga- patam, with its 33,606 acres topping the list, then Chittoor, South Arcot, North Arcot, Coimbatore, Bellary, East Godavari, Trichinopoly, Salem, Ganjam, South Kanara, Anantapur, Madura and West Goda- vari. According to the above list, Chittoor holds the second and North Arcot the fourth place in the Presidency. Many varieties of cane are cultivated viz., red and striped Mauritius, Nanal, Fiji B (Badila) J 247, Rasadali and Hebbal varieties. J 247 occupies a small area in both districts, while in North Arcot district in Gudiyattam and Vellore taluks almost the whole area of cane is of this variety. Ryots are just beginning to take to it, in view of its drought resisting quality and indifferent treatment which it can stand, but the main drawback seems to be the hardness of the rind which is very keenly felt by bulls while crushing. This is the chief reason for its low acreage. In 1933, in both districts Co. 213 variety of cane was tried on a small scale and this year the trials are repeated along with two more varieties viz., Co. 281 and Co. 290.

The Vellore Town Municipality maintains 58 heads of working cattle for conservancy purposes and the annual budget allotment for maintaining these bulls comes to about Rs. 4000 which is spent mainly on the purchase of fodder etc. They were being fed till very lately with the following rations per head per day:- Paddy straw, 15 lbs. Rice bran, 3 Mudras mensures. Agathi leaves, 114 lbs. Contracts were given to dealers to supply the above food materials and it was found that the quality of bran supplied was very poor due to the presence of husk, etc. It was therefore a problem to the autho rities how to change the rations given to their working animals omit- ting bran. The Municipality consulted the Agricultural Department. It was suggested to them, to utilize a small area of their sewage farm for raising fodder crops such as lucerne and elephant grass.

Published: November 2023

In all countries where the value of fruit diet has been recognised, pineapple occupies a high rank. In most of the western countries and in all tropical islands within easy reach of the West this has assumed. great commercial importance. In India where the plant seems to have been introduced about 300 years hack and has spread through the West Coast to Bengal Assam and Burma, little attention seems to have been paid to improve the quality or commercial possibilities of this valuable fruit plant. In this Presidency it occurs in several places as a hedge plant or as an ill-kept bush yielding stray fruits of small size and of an insipid sour taste. In the Simhachalam hills of the N. Circars and in isolated estates of the southern and western portions of the Western Ghats it has received some attention at cultivation. During the last decade the cultivation of this has been taken up in several places on the West Const through the activities of the Agricultural Department and this note deals with the experience gained in its cultivation on the West Coast both in the Government farms and outside.
INSECTICIDES AND THEIR USE IN INDIA

Published: November 2023

From those very early days when prehistoric man gave up his nomadic and predatory habits and began to raise crops and tend cattle the struggle between nature and man must have com- menced in right earnest, man upsetting the normal conditions prevailing in the universe, and nature asserting herself every time to re-establish her supremacy. Gradually, through centuries of civiliza- tion, as this protracted struggle continued, one of the most important changes effected has been a pronounced re-adjustment of the relations that originally existed between man and the lower forms of lifc. Under the numerous artificial conditions brought about by human agency. what is known as the "balance of life" in nature is constantly upset especially among the lower animals like insects and one of the various resulting phenomena which frequently happens is an abnormal increase in the number of some lower forms of life which affect men-in other words, there is an outbreak of pests. Man has, of course, recognised this self-inflicted but inevitable evil through past decades and in all countries.

Published: November 2023

Food security is a complex, multifaceted issue influenced by culture, environment, and geographical location. Food security is built on four pillars such as food availability, food access, food utilization and stability in food. The purpose of this study is to exploit the sustainable food security to learn how and whether Oman characteristics influence food security. This study is based on exploratory research by reviewing available literature on food safety in developing countries. The government of Oman is realizing the importance of food security, and this is part of the national strategy. The study will help policy makers focus on more useful policy tools in their endeavor to maintain or improve production and distribution within their food systems, and better plan for the many challenges that could face the country. Oman is ensuring that its citizens have access to enough affordable, safe, and quality food. Farmers, consumers, and jobseekers could all benefit from a three-point strategy to give Oman food security. The government may need to increase investment in new technologies and innovations to ensure food security. Implementing an integrated natural resource management system to facilitate food security. We need collective action at the local level, as well as the participation of government and nongovernmental organizations that work at the community level, can make major improvements to global food security in Sultanate of Oman.

Seasons and Human Health in the Hippocratic Airs, Waters, and Places and Hesiod’s Works and Days
Authors: Zatta Claudia
Published: November 2023

This essay focuses on the doctor’s knowledge of seasonal patterns and their impact on human health in the Hippocratic Waters, Airs, and Places. Knowledge of the seasonal factor requires the doctor to master the general and the particular, to take the yearly period and scan it in two bi-seasonal periods with focus on summer and winter as the expected times for the outbreak of the diseases. Such looking-forward analytical operation is inscribed in the doctor’s capacity for pronoia.  Due parallels are drawn between the doctor and the seer, on the one hand, and the Presocratic philosopher, on the other. Attention is also given to the early description of winter in Hesiod’s Works and Days: with its detrimental effects on human (and animal) bodies, it emerges as a poetic antecedent of the Hippocratic doctor’s knowledge.
The software platform for evaluation of the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of complex systems
Authors: Ponomarenko Olha , Gorbachov Valeriy
Published: November 2023

Complex systems have a large dimension, consist of a large number of elements and connections between them. Networks are used to represent complex systems. Due to the high dimension of modern systems, researchers evaluate proposed solutions using generated networks. The high dimension of the system leads to problems in modeling and control. To solve these problems, methods for reducing the dimension of complex systems are required. Aggregation of the structural model of the system consists in combining elements of the system into subsystems and as a result dimension of the system and computational complexity are reduced. The subject matter of research is a software platform for evaluation of the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of complex systems. The goal of the work is to develop the software platform for evaluation of the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of complex systems. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that using the software platform it is possible to make the structural model aggregation of systems with a large number of elements and it is also possible to evaluate the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of the system. The following tasks were solved in the work: development of the software platform which consists of a system generator module, a system aggregation module, a maximum flow searching module and a statistical data processing module; structural model aggregation of the system using the software platform; evaluation of the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of the system using the software platform. As a result of the work the software platform was created, the structural model aggregation of the system was made and the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of the system using the software platform was evaluated. The studies allow us to conclude: using the software platform it is possible to generate a system, make the structural model aggregation of the system and solve the problem of the maximum flow searching; the software platform also allows to evaluate the effectiveness of structural model aggregation of the system; the value of the maximum flow is the same at two levels of the system, so in this case the structural model aggregation of the system is made while preserving the correctness of its parameters.

The prevalence of chronic constipation in the population ranges from 3% to 27%. Women, senile people, and people of low socio‑economic status are in this risk group more often. Many histological studies of the intestinal wall were performed in order to find the causes of slow‑transit constipation [6, 4]. The different pathological changes, including myopathies, neuropathy, and pathology of the interstitial cells of Cajal, were established. The specific distribution of the types of histological changes in the colon wall in patients with slow‑transit constipation, as presented in the London classification, is currently unknown.
Objective — to determine the specific distribution of the types of histological changes in the colon wall in patients with slow‑transit constipation unresponsive to conservative treatment.
Materials and methods. A pathomorphological comparative case‑control study was performed. The main group included 105 patients who underwent colectomy as a treatment for chronic slow‑transit constipation in the period 2011—2023. The surgical intervention was indicated for patients with chronic slow‑transit constipation, resistance to conservative treatment, and a notable decline in quality of life. The comparison group included 27 deceased persons who did not experience constipation during their lifetime. The patient exclusion criteria were Hirschsprung’s disease, proctogenic constipation (dysfunction of the rectum and pelvic floor), medication‑associated constipation, as well as mental disorders. The histological and immunological examinations of samples were carried out in both groups, in the comparison group — appendix, ileum, cecum, colon and sigmoid colon.
Results. Four main morphological phenotypes of the colon wall structure elements in patients with chronic slow‑transit constipation were identified according to the research data: 1) histologically intact type, 2) myopathic type, 3) Cajal type, 4) neuropathic. A combination of different types of histological changes was also registered, but one of them usually dominated.
Conclusions. Four main types of histological changes in the intestinal wall were found in patients with chronic slow‑transit constipation resistant to conservative treatment: myopathic changes (56.2%), Cajal cell pathology (19%), neuropathic changes (19%), and a histologically intact variant (5.8%). The myopathic type is characterised by the heterogeneity of morphological manifestations, which can be referred to as dystrophic changes (dystrophic subtype 79.7%) and inflammatory changes (inflammatory subtype 20.3%), p=0.001.
Familial Hypercholesterolemia: From Clinical Suspicion to Novel Treatments

Published: November 2023

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic disorder in humans. It affects millions of people globally, increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) at a younger age due to elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth. While effective traditional and novel treatments are available, the most significant challenge with FH is the lack of timely diagnosis. As a result, many patients remain undertreated leading to an increased risk of CVD. To mitigate risk, initiating early and aggressive LDL-C-lowering therapies is recommended. Moreover, given its autosomal dominant inheritance patterns, it is also recommended to perform cascade lipid and/or genetic testing of all first-degree relatives. This review highlights the importance of early FH diagnosis and available treatment options. Greater awareness and improved screening efforts can help diagnose and treat more individuals, ultimately reducing the CVD risk associated with FH.
Unifying consciousness theories with MaxCon: maximizing configurations of the brain web

Published: November 2023

There is such a vast proliferation of scientific theories of consciousness that it is worrying some scholars. There are even competitions to test different theories, and the results are inconclusive. Consciousness research, far from converging toward a unifying framework, is becoming more discordant than ever, especially with respect to theoretical elements that do not have a clear neurobiological basis. Rather than duelling theories, an integration across theories is needed tofacilitate a comprehensive view on consciousness and on how normal nervous system dynamics can develop into pathological states. In dealing with what is considered an extremely complex matter, we try to adopt a perspective from which the subject appears in relative simplicity. Grounded in experimental and theoretical observations, we advance an encompassing biophysical theory, MaxCon, which incorporates aspects of several of the main existing neuroscientific consciousness theories, finding convergence points in an attempt to simplify and to understand how cellular collective activity is organized to fulfill the dynamic requirements of the diverse theories our proposal comprises. Moreover, a computable index indicating consciousness level is presented. Derived from the level of description of the interactions among cell networks, our proposal highlights the association of consciousness with maximisation of the number of configurations of neural network connections -constrained by neuroanatomy, biophysics and the environment― that is common to all consciousness theories.
Laurie Anderson's Telepresence
Authors: Chua Eu Jin
Published: November 2023

A survey of the work of American artist Laurie Anderson makes clear her career-long interest in what may be described as the modern subject’s self-alienation in the face of excessive technologization and authoritarianism. This article argues that her 1998 installation Dal Vivo forms an extreme endpoint in this ongoing project of artistic critique. It claims that the conceit of this installation, which can be understood as an unusual and highly mediatized variation on performance art, places Anderson in an irresolvable ethical bind. For the installation crystallises, in aesthetic form, the paranoia which Eric Santner argues is endemic to subjects forced to function within the damaging solicitations of disciplinary authority, and it makes Anderson complicit within this process. The ethical predicament created by the installation’s deployment of tele-technologies, moreover, suggests the potential of telepresence technologies to function repressively, thus providing a cautionary note to too uncritical techno-utopian accounts of tele-technologies.
Biophilic architecture: Using cognitive science principles to understand impact on well-being
Authors: Shaikh Humaira
Published: November 2023

Biophilic architecture is an approach that seeks to connect users more closely with nature by utilizing natural elements and landscape features in buildings. Its aim is to increase well-being, health, and mood using the built environment that surrounds us. Similarly, and often used in tandem, biomorphic architecture refers to an approach that seeks to connect users more closely with nature by using features that mimic it. Despite these goals, little research in cognitive science, the study of the mind, has explored the underlying cognitive reactions specifically induced by biophilic architecture. Here, I have compiled neuroscientific, architectural, and psychological research to study the effects of biophilic architecture on mood, stress, and general health outcomes, and suggest further areas of study for future research. Early findings suggest green spaces and biophilic architecture are extremely effective in lowering stress, increasing positive affect, and improving overall well-being.
Monitoring, Evaluating & Furthering Progress on Gender and Economic Equality & Women's Economic Empowerment
Authors: K.Murthy Ranjani
Published: November 2023

The Global Gender Gap report 2020 points to the fact that gender gaps in the economic sphere have widened over the years, both globally and in India. There is a need to conceptualise and analyse progress on gender and economic equality and empowerment of women (GEEEW) in the Indian context, and examine if commitments in this regard under the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), Beijing Platform for Action (PFA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are likely to be met. Further, pathways forward for India to achieve GEEEW need to be identified.
