Authors: Aggarwal Sonia , Gupta Neelam
Published: March 2024

In this age of lightning-fast technological development, it is critical for economists and policymakers to grasp the complex link between innovation and economic expansion. This article explores the importance of R&D policy in encouraging technical innovation and, by extension, propelling economic expansion. This study explores several aspects of the association among exploration as well as growth policy, technological innovation, and economic growth by drawing on a thorough analysis of current literature and empirical data. Examines the ways in which intellectual property rights, financing efforts, and tax incentives all play a role in shaping innovation ecosystems and the incentives that enterprises have to participate in research and development. In addition, the processes by which expenditures in research and development lead to observable improvements in economic indicators like productivity, new employment opportunities, and enhanced global competitiveness are explored in this study. Knowledge diffusion and collaborative networks are emphasized as key drivers of innovation across sectors and geographies, and the possible spillover effects of research and development operations are also examined. Research in this area also evaluates the efficacy of various R&D policy initiatives in encouraging innovation-led development, taking into account aspects including institutional frameworks, technology trajectories, and industrial structure. This paper analyzes case studies and comparative policy assessments to provide insights into best practices and policy suggestions. The importance of research and development strategies in determining the future of innovation-driven economies is highlighted by this study, which adds to our knowledge of the interplay between technical advancements and economic expansion. In a world where competition is heating up, it's more important than ever to make policies based on evidence and implement strategic interventions to foster innovative ecosystems that can drive sustainable economic development.
Workplace Ethics and Job Satisfaction with Special Reference to Private Banks
Authors: Aggarwal Dr. Sonia
Published: March 2024

Job satisfaction is crucial not only for the well-being of individual employees but also for the overall productivity, retention, and success of the private bank. Satisfied employees are more likely to be motivated, committed, and contribute positively to the organization's goals. Organizations often invest in creating a conducive environment that fosters job satisfaction as part of their human resource management strategies. Workplace ethics in private banks is essential not only for legal and regulatory compliance but also for building a positive organizational culture, maintaining the trust of clients, and attracting and retaining talent. A commitment to ethical conduct contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of the private bank in a competitive financial environment. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the association between job satisfaction and workplace ethics, focusing on the private banking industry. Acknowledging the critical significance of ethical behaviour and employee satisfaction in the achievement of organisational objectives, this study examines the intricate connections between the two, identifying pivotal determinants that impact job satisfaction in the private banking sector. By utilising an extensive review of relevant literature and empirical data, this research investigates the direct relationship between organisational ethics (including leadership conduct, leadership culture, and adherence to ethical values), and employee job satisfaction. Furthermore, the study illuminates the specific intricacies inherent in private banks, taking into account the one-of-a-kind obstacles and prospects that this industry presents. The study's objective is to provide valuable insights for private banks that are interested in improving organisational performance, fostering a positive work environment, and cultivating long-lasting job satisfaction among their workforce through the elucidation of these connections.
Trade Openness and Income Inequality – A Fresh Perspective
Authors: Aggarwal Sonia , Gupta Neelam
Published: March 2024

In the realm of economics, the relationship between trade openness and other indicators of economic growth, alongside their impact on income distribution, has been a subject of extensive examination by economists globally. Despite the considerable attention devoted to this topic, the findings remain inconclusive, particularly concerning developing countries. Some studies suggest that increased trade openness correlates with a decrease in income inequality, while others propose the opposite. This lack of consensus has led to ongoing debates among economists and policymakers in developing nations regarding the merits and drawbacks of trade liberalization. By examining a wide range of scholarly literature on the subject, this paper aims to shed light on the complex and multifaceted interactions between trade openness, various indicators of economic growth, and income distribution. Through meticulous analysis and synthesis of existing research findings, we endeavor to provide insights that contribute to a better understanding of how trade policies influence income inequality dynamics in both of developing as well as developed economies. In pursuit of these objectives, the paper will employ rigorous analytical methods and draw upon diverse datasets from different countries and time periods. By systematically exploring the relationships between trade openness, GDP growth, FDI inflows, employment trends, and income distribution, we aim to offer valuable insights that can inform evidence-based policymaking and contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding the role of trade in shaping economic inequality. Ultimately, our endeavor seeks to advance knowledge in this field and provide guidance for policymakers grappling with the challenges of fostering inclusive economic growth amidst the complexities of global trade dynamics.

Instead of presenting the data as it is, financial statement editors may display it as what it should be. Therefore there is a need to know the truthfulness, quality, reliability, and trustworthiness of reported and presented financial data. Thus, the main objective of this study is to identify the possibility of suspicion in the financial data of selected listed companies of Adani group. To meet this objective the collected financial data of selected companies has been analyzed using first digit, second digit, third digit, and fourth digit test of digital analysis of Benford?s law. From the digital analysis it is found that there is somewhat deviation in actual financial data as compared to natural number distribution given in Benford?s law. The deviation percentages highlight potential areas that may need more scrutiny to identify if there are any issues or discrepancies in the data. Further investigation is required to pinpoint the exact reasons behind these deviations and determine if they indicate fraudulent activities or other irregularities.

Authors: Aggarwal Sonia , Gupta Neelam
Published: March 2024

The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2007-2008 was a watershed moment that reshaped the landscape of monetary policy and financial regulation worldwide. This research paper delves into the pivotal role of monetary policy in fostering financial stability, drawing lessons from the tumultuous events of the GFC. Through an extensive review of literature and empirical analysis, this paper examines the various monetary policy tools employed by central banks to mitigate systemic risks and promote stability in the aftermath of the crisis. The paper begins by elucidating the complex interplay between monetary policy, financial markets, and systemic risk, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a delicate balance between price stability and financial stability. It explores the conventional and unconventional measures adopted by central banks during the crisis, including interest rate adjustments, liquidity provision, and asset purchase programs, and assesses their effectiveness in stabilizing financial markets and averting systemic collapse. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the evolution of monetary policy frameworks in response to the lessons learned from the GFC, such as the adoption of macroprudential tools and the reassessment of inflation targeting regimes. It analyzes the challenges and trade-offs faced by policymakers in pursuing dual objectives of price and financial stability, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to monetary policy formulation. Moreover, this paper examines the implications of post-crisis monetary policy measures on financial markets, asset prices, and economic activity, addressing concerns regarding moral hazard, excessive risk-taking, and asset price bubbles. It also discusses the role of regulatory reforms in strengthening the resilience of the financial system and enhancing the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission mechanisms.

The relationship between various ethnic groups in a pluralistic society is quite parallel with how two or more ethnicities relate in societies compare to where the ethnic groups are two or three. The idea of avoiding conflicts, and tying unity, harmony and peace may be hard to sense. Scholars of Sociology have identified some factors to which multiethnic environment would be peaceful and livable, raising the topic that concerns inter-ethnic relation to align with the concept of culture, social identity, economic political and issues. These terms all have their particular influences on how multiethnic society would be, either a land of peace or its opposite. This study precisely analyzes and lays description to what factors relatively have influence towards the relationship of many ethnic groups in a multiethnic society. The paper studies the fact that culture may have its role on how many ethnic groups live in a single society, while social identity political as well as economic factors matter in formation of inter-ethnic relations in a pluralistic society.

A myth in politics can be defined as an altered form of political consciousness, in which knowledge and understanding of factual information is replaced by images, symbols. In this paper, we proceed from the understanding that, unlike the political myth, a classical myth is a universal narrative (narrative), a traditional legend that figuratively interprets historical events and serves to explain natural phenomena and meanings, the origin of customs, traditions, beliefs - human civilizations and the whole world as a whole, through allegorical emotional and sensual images. Usually the origin of a traditional myth is unknown, while a myth that has a political nature is often professionally launched and has a specific circle of people for whose benefit it is created. In the political struggle, myths can be used as purposefully created and disseminated stories (narratives), sacralizing the existing system of power and denigrating its opponents in the public mind. The article discusses the role of political myth in world history and politics. Also presented is a model for the analysis of myths in politics, which includes the definition of the essence, structure, features, processes and functions of myths in politics. A comparative analysis of traditional and political myths has been carried out.

Published: March 2024

Myxoedema coma (or myxoedema crisis) is a severe and potentially fatal form of decompensated hypothyroidism with an underlying cause. A low index of suspicion and a search for triggering factors should be the first step in dealing with the condition at an early stage. Myxoedema coma should be suspected in patients who present with hypothermia, altered mental status, and coma, even if hypothyroidism has not previously been recognized. The symptoms of hypothyroidism decompensation may mistakenly be attributed to its precipitating factors, which may include sepsis, cardiac failure, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, anaesthetic, sedatives, antidepressant medications, or metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities. Here, we present a case of myxoedema coma with two major underlying precipitating causes: septic shock and diabetic ketoacidosis.

Courtroom discourse constitutes an integral component of dispensation of justice. This paper explores courtroom discourse in relation questions and responses on the witness stand during the proceedings of criminal cases in the courts of Islamabad, Pakistan. The discourse under study comprises examination-in-chief and cross-examination. The study attempts to highlight the strategic orientation of the courtroom discourse and, for the purpose, has collected and qualitatively analyzed three-tier data: transcripts of the recorded testimony from the District Courts; observations of courtroom proceedings; and open-ended questionnaires from witnesses, lawyers, and judges. Taking insights from Coulthard, Alison and Wright (2017), the analysis is carried out at three levels, i.e., asymmetrical relations between the interlocutors, distinguished audience, and institutional context. Findings show that language of the counsels restricts responses of the witnesses owing to strategic phrasing of the questions, exercise of control through language, and unfavorable environment of the court. This study may be of assistance in training of witnesses to deal with the situation on the stand, may guide forensic linguists about the intricacies of courtroom discourse, and may help ameliorate the deteriorated condition of the justice system in Pakistan.

The system of glucose-insulin control and associated problems in diabetes mellitus were studied by mathematical modeling. It is a helpful theoretical tool for understanding the basic concepts of numerous distinct medical and biological functions. It delves into the various risk factors contributing to the onset of diabetes, such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, family history, viruses, and increasing age. The study emphasizes the importance of mathematical models in understanding the dynamic characteristics of biological systems. The study emphasizes the increasing prevalence of diabetes, especially in India, where urbanization and lifestyle changes contribute to the rising incidence. The present investigation describes the use of John Holland's evolutionary computing approach and the Genetic Algorithm (GA) in diabetes mellitus. The Genetic Algorithm is applied to address issues related to diabetes, offering a generic solution and utilizing MATLAB's Genetic Algorithm tool. The Mathematical Model provides differential equations representing glucose and insulin concentrations in the blood. The results represent testing outcomes for normal, prediabetic, and diabetic individuals, optimized with Genetic Algorithm showcased through fitness value plots. The conclusion highlights the effectiveness of Genetic Algorithm as an optimization tool in predicting optimal samples for diabetes diagnosis. The paper encourages the use of heuristic algorithms, such as Genetic Algorithms, to address complex challenges in the field of diabetes research. Future scope includes further exploration of biomathematics and Genetic Algorithm applications for enhanced understanding and management of diabetes mellitus. It is critical for people with diabetes to consistently check their blood glucose levels and follow their treatment plan.

Sundarban Estuarine System is influenced by periodic tidal input and fresh water inflow. It is surrounded by world’s largest mangrove ecosystem and harbour naturally grown fishery. The total system is intersected by a network of many rivers and creeks. Bidyadhari is one of the major rivers of Sundarbans that is surrounded by human habitation on both banks. The dynamic condition of the river due to tidal inflow and fresh water input which is further increased many folds due to human interventions. In the present study, 26 zooplankton taxa have been recorded where 16 taxa were found perennial in all three seasons. 19 species showed its highest density in the monsoon season, 4 in post-monsoon and 3 in pre-monsoon season. Considering all seasons, Pseudodiaptomus serricaudatus was found to be the most abundant species in monsoon when there was  a marked increase in temperature, nitrate, phosphate, silicate and a decrease in salinity, DO, TDS, EC and chlorophyll-a concentration. On the other hand,  Acrocalanus longicornis was most abundant during the post-monsoon season when pH, EC, DO, chlorophyll-a were found to be highest and temperature was lowest of all seasons. Only 3 of the 26 taxa were found in highest concentration during pre-monsoon season when salinity was found in highest concentration. The Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index, Simpson 1_D Index and Margalef Richness Index of zooplankton diversity were found highest in station 3  (nearest to the sea) during all the three seasons. Pearson Correlation Analysis showed some significant correlation between different hydrological parameters and zooplankton diversity indices. The result of the study indicates the presence of organic pollutants and eutrophication in Bidyadhari river that demands regular monitoring of water quality for maintenance of long-term sustainability of one the largest naturally grown fisheries in the world.

Mental health is an urgent concern in India as every sixth Indian needs mental health help as reported by a recent National Mental Health Survey done by Gururaj in the year 2016.  Further, while 20% of Indians suffer from a mental illness, only 10-12% of them seek help from mental health professionals mainly due to ignorance, stigma and discrimination that largely prevail in Indian community. The study aimed to assess the attitude towards mental illness among nurses and to associate the attitude towards mental illness among nurses working in selected tertiary care hospitals with background selected variables. A non-experimental descriptive research design was used in this study. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples and 400 samples were taken for the study. The majority of the nurses have negative 310 (77%) attitudes towards mental illness and only 90(23%) of them have positive attitudes towards mental illness. The mean value of attitude is 59.59 with a standard deviation of 4.94. There is no significant association was found between attitudes toward mental illness among nurses working in selected tertiary care hospitals with background variables at p<0.05.  The study results recommend initiating training programs for the nurses aimed at promoting positive attitudes and making them sensitive to the needs of mentally ill patients.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Associated Cytogenetic and Genetic Anomalies – Study from Eastern India

Published: March 2024

Recurrent early pregnancy loss (REPL) refers to loss (2 or more) of pregnancy within the first trimester of the gestation period. Reports of REPL cases are significantly increasing along with idiopathic or enigmatic REPL because associated clinical parameters in such cases remain within normal range and diagnosis remains odyssey. Genetic factors like single nucleotide variations (SNV) and altered heterochromatin and/or satellite content, as chromosomal aberrations like translocation, deletion and inversions have reportedly remained associated with many diseases. The present study aimed to find any structural and single nucleotide variations associated with idiopathic REPL. Three thousand six hundred twelve (3612) couples with history of 2 or more pregnancy losses or neonatal death were subjected to clinical investigations, karyotype analyses and Whole Exome Sequence analyses as per requirement to identify the underlying cause(s). More than 14% of the idiopathic REPL cases were found to carry chromosomal heteromorphisms. Among these, 9qh+ was predominant, followed by 21ps+, 15ps+, 14ps+ and others. Heteromorphies were significantly higher in females than males except for 14ps+. Along with some single nucleotide variations were also found among the subjects, though compound heterozygosity or allelic homozygosity were major causal factors. Idiopathic REPL cases were found to carry genetic variations, as per the present study, with a prevalence of more than 10% among RPL cases with yet unknown molecular mechanisms of damage. A further thorough study to unveil the underlying molecular pathology is strongly recommended.
