Land Acquisition for Atmanirbhar Bharat
Authors: Shettigar Jagadish , Misra Pooja 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Keeping in view the vision envisaged of being a self-reliant nation, it is imperative that the country adopts long-term structural reforms that have been waiting to see the light of the day. The Land Acquisition Act, 2013 has certainly been a stumbling block against a large number of investment proposals getting transformed into a reality. Hence the government needs to address the issue and initiate corrective reform measures in order to reshape India’s growth trajectory. Land remains one of the top reasons for stalling projects in India. The chapter discusses how as Land is a State subject, the Central and State Governments need to work for hand in hand and solve land acquisition issues to expedite the process of acquisition of land and make it a smooth and seamless procedure for investors. A win–win solution for both the owners of the land and buyers has to be devised, thereby making the process easy and simple for acquiring land for urbanization and industrialization. The Government needs to adopt international best practices in land acquisition to spur growth in investment in infrastructure by domestic and foreign investors.
Administration Reforms

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The role of the Government of any country is to primarily facilitate economic growth and provide common citizens and industry alike with increased access to basic services, thereby building an environment conducive to and promoting ease of living consistent with equity and social justice. The key constituents of any governance model are economic reforms, decentralization, accountability, and respect for citizens’ rights and transparency and with the current Government clearly spelling out its focus on ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’ it should be working towards achieving the same. The role of any Government is extremely important in facilitating and promoting economic development. Administrative reforms, which are a continuous requirement in any society, are all the more needed when society experiences game-changing reforms. Thus, the key point here is that the Government, in its key role of being the planner and facilitator of business, needs to initiate bureaucratic reforms. The chapter discusses the urgent need for administrative reforms and provides recommendations for the same.
Challenges before the Government
Authors: Shettigar Jagadish , Misra Pooja 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
With the focus on building India into a self-reliant nation, many innovative policy measures have been initiated in order to lead the country towards the ultimate goal. However, one must bear in mind that policy decisions can get transformed into reality only with the support of a conducive macroeconomic environment that includes both economic and non-economic factors. A stable macroeconomic scenario prevalent in the country gives the required impetus and improves business confidence and consumer sentiments. With the Government being in the majority, it is also in a position to get crucial bills passed by the Parliament. However, the road towards the ultimate goal is not going to be a smooth ride. There would be many hurdles and challenges that would have to be crossed and overcome. The chapter discusses in detail these challenges such as the pandemic battered economy, prevailing geopolitical tensions leading to supply chain disruptions, low consumer sentiments etc. which the Government is faced with and has to overcome to ensure that the Indian economy moves back on the path of economic recovery and growth at the earliest. Also, for any democratically elected government world over appropriate timing is crucial and keeping in mind that the next general elections are due in 2024 for effective implementation of policy measures the Government needs to act fast.
Triangles of Desire at the Iliad’s Opening
Authors: Lesser Rachel H. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
After a brief proem, the Iliad’s main narrative begins in Book 1 with two successive and interlocking triangular conflicts between men over the possession of a woman: Chryses’ dispute with Agamemnon over his daughter Chryseis and Achilleus’ quarrel with Agamemnon over his concubine Briseis. This chapter shows how similar longings and aggressive desires, which are expressed primarily through the emotions of grief and anger, underlie these parallel devastating conflicts, and how the first initiates the second. In this way, Iliad 1 introduces desiring subjects as generators of an epic plot defined by discord, suffering, and death—and more desire, as Achilleus vows to inspire the Greeks’ longing (pothē) for himself. This chapter also demonstrates how the poet encourages our sympathy for and empathy with the aggrieved Chryses and Achilleus, and arouses our narrative desire to find out how their wrongs will be righted.
Why Baby Boomers Turned from Religion
Authors: Day Abby 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Mocked, vilified, blamed, and significantly misunderstood—the ‘Baby Boomers’ are members of the generation of post-World War II babies who came of age in the 1960s. Their parents of the 1940s and 1950s raised their Boomer children to be church-attenders and respectable, and yet in some ways demonstrated an ambivalence that permitted their children to spurn religion and to eventually raise their own children to be the least religious generation ever. The Baby Boomers studied here, living in the UK and Canada, were the last generation to have been routinely baptised and taken regularly to mainstream, Anglican churches. So, what went wrong—or, perhaps, right? This book, based on in-depth interviews and compared to other studies and data, is the first to offer a sociological account of the sudden transition from religious parents to non-religious children and grandchildren, focusing exclusively on this generation of ex-Anglican Boomers. Now in their 60s and 70s, the Boomers featured here make sense of their lives and the world they helped to create. They discuss how they continue to dis-believe in God yet have an easy relationship with ghosts and did not, as theologians are wont to argue, fall into an immoral self-centred abyss, but forged different practices and sites (whether in ‘this world’ or ‘elsewhere’) of meaning, morality, community, and transcendence. They also reveal the kind of values, practices, and beliefs they transmitted to the future generations, helping shape non-religious identities of Generation X, the Millennials, and Generation Z.
The Right Not to Stay
Authors: Ottonelli Valeria , Torresi Tiziana 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A central question in the debate on justice in immigration is whether immigrants have a right to stay; this book argues that liberal-democratic receiving states should also grant migrants a right not to stay. This claim runs against the presumption that migrants always desire to move on a permanent basis and intend to forge a completely new life in the country of destination. From this perspective, temporary migration is always a second-best option for migrants, engendered by the closed and often punitive migration policies of receiving countries. This book’s innovative focus on the right not to stay is prompted instead by the realization that increasing numbers of migrants throughout the world conceive and plan their migratory experience as circumscribed in time and instrumental to goals and projects that they will pursue once back in their country of origin. These temporary migration projects are worthy of being accommodated by the receiving states as much as the migratory plans of those who resolve or aim to immigrate on a permanent basis. Accommodating them entails setting up the appropriate welfare measures and programmes in the host country and, through bi-lateral agreements, in the country of return. This is especially important in view of the fact that very often the migrants who engage in temporary migration projects find themselves in a condition of high vulnerability and risk. The ‘right not to stay’ advocated in this book is a positive and substantive right to see one’s project of temporary migration-and-return protected and accommodated by institutions.
Key problems and inequities of Italy’s economy
Authors: Codogno Lorenzo , Galli Giampaolo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter contains a broad picture of the comparative performance of the Italian economy relative to the rest of the world and a subset of advanced countries. Female labour force participation is among the lowest among developed countries and globally. This chapter argues that if employers looked exclusively for the best workers, the gender gap would be closer to that of similar countries. In addition, if politicians, employers, and trade unions wanted to give equal opportunities to all, males and females, they would have come up with some solutions to make it possible to better reconcile family and working life for both. Several myths about Italy’s entrepreneurship are dispelled: Italy is no longer an innovative economy, does not attract talent, and is not a country where young people have opportunities. The social elevator is stuck, much more so than in the UK or the USA. The North–South divide remains unchanged despite seventy years of substantial efforts by central government to solve the issue. The problems of the South are the same as those of Italy. They cannot be solved with public investment unless such investment is instrumental in bringing about radical change in the quality of institutions, the business environment, and the incentive structure. Merit rather than connections must be placed at centre stage. Given this overall picture, it is no surprise that the young suffer from high unemployment and low wages. Nor it is a surprise to find that many of the most talented youth leave the country to study and work abroad.
Why are companies so small?
Authors: Codogno Lorenzo , Galli Giampaolo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe average size of companies increased until the beginning of the 1970s, although it remained small. Since then it has been declining, partly due to factors common to most advanced countries, such as increased uncertainty. Additional uncertainty required more flexibility for firms when workers demanded more protection and legislation became more rigid. The reaction to this scenario was outsourcing and de-verticalisation of firms, which means a smaller average size. In Italy, these processes were particularly relevant. Single families usually control Italian companies. Family members hold key positions inside the firm and not just on the board. Family-owned firms, particularly in the service sector, prefer an executive selection process based on closeness and loyalty to the owners rather than on specific expertise about the company’s business sector and strategies. Quite clearly, merit is not centre stage. A successful entrepreneur must have connections because they allow her/him to survive and even prosper in a complex bureaucracy with intricate laws. The connected company enjoys a rent (in the domestic market) which is the direct consequence of the complexity of the bureaucratic apparatus. However, connected firms are less innovative than their competitors and are not as successful in international markets. This system impedes free competition much more than the anti-competitive behaviours under the antitrust authority’s eye.
Reading Bodies in Motion
Authors: Webb Heather 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter discusses the medieval contextual evidence that we have for understanding how Dante might understand the engagement of a reader or viewer with gesture and bodily movement as depicted in visual or textual sources. Departing from gesture studies more broadly, it investigates how gestures and bodily signs appear in Dante’s works and how Dante understands those gestures to be legible and powerful in readers’ imaginations and memories. This introductory chapter shows how bodily knowledge cannot be separated from cultural codification and from specific culturally and temporally defined sets of visual vocabularies, taking examples from Dante’s Vita nova and his Inferno.
The Historical and Social Contexts
Authors: Hultgård Anders 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Knowledge of the natural environment and ways of life of Viking Age Scandinavians is necessary for understanding the Ragnarök myth. The importance of central places in transmitting myths and rituals is emphasized. A map of such places is shown. Social groups with particular interest in the Ragnarök myth are identified. The myth is also rooted in popular tradition as evidenced by Snorri Sturluson. The belief in joining Odin in Valhall for the final battle characterizes Viking warrior ideology. Seeresses and their role in prophecy are discussed. Their high status in pre-Christian times is shown. Testimonies from classical writers on Germanic seeresses are cited (Caesar, Plutarch).
The Ragnarök Myth—Distinctive Features and Origins
Authors: Hultgård Anders 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Comparative analyses show the distinctive character of the Ragnarök myth. Christian medieval texts in the vernacular reveal an influence of ancient Scandinavian concepts. Conversely, Christianity has left some imprints on the myth during its medieval transmission. Stanza 65 of the Vǫluspá is comprehensively discussed. The origins of the Ragnarök myth are dealt with, particularly in comparison with Iranian traditions. The theme of the cosmic tree is important. In both Scandinavian and Iranian mythology the tree is a symbol of the world in its temporal as well as spatial aspect. Further striking similarities include the idea of heavenly warriors awaiting the final battle and the conception of the renewal of the world as a ritual. The importance of the number ‘nine’ is prominent in both religions. This marks them off from other traditions, especially those with roots in the Middle East where the number ‘seven’ dominates. It is concluded that the roots of the Ragnarök myth lie far back in time. The correspondences with Iranian mythology suggest a common Indo-European background.
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Canadian Law
Authors: Iacobucci Frank 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter begins with a brief history of the Canadian government’s mistreatment of Indigenous people and an overview of the legal frameworks governing Indigenous rights in Canada. Broadly speaking, aboriginal rights are sui generis, or unique, rights held by aboriginal peoples ‘by reason of the fact that aboriginal peoples were once independent, self-governing entities in possession of most of the lands now making up Canada’. Treaty rights arise from treaties or land agreements between Indigenous groups and the Canadian government. The chapter then presents a background of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), focusing on its core principles of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) and the corresponding duty to consult. It also examines potential issues and tensions that may arise in adopting UNDRIP as domestic law in Canada. Finally, the chapter looks ahead and discusses strategies to build partnerships between Indigenous groups and the Canadian government as a path forward to achieving reconciliation.
Taking Stock

Abstract
Changes had taken place in Canada and at the Montreal Neurologic Institute, where Penfield had retired and Jasper would shortly leave. John Fulton, a leading neuroscientist at Yale University and an authority on cerebral cortex function, dies. Meanwhile Brenda Milner makes the surprising discovery that Henry Molaison, despite having no long-term memory for people, places, or event, can learn and remember a difficult eye-and-hand test. ‘Procedural memory’ is now recognized as a distinct form of memory.
Continuing Excitation in Norway
Authors: McComas Alan J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Terje Lømo begins hippocampal studies in Oslo under Per Andersen and discovers that cell responses to repetitive stimuli may remain enlarged for minutes or even hours (long-term potentiation). The phenomenon is then pursued by Timothy Bliss and Tony Gardner-Medwin. Lømo leaves the hippocampus in order to study long-term actions of motoneurons on muscle fibres (trophism), initially at University College London.
Back to the Hippocampus
Authors: McComas Alan J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Concept cell recordings indicate that the hippocampus stores not only long-term semantic memories but episodic memories as well. Short-term memories are most likely a function of the hippocampus too, in view of the comparison between Henry Molaison’s and Clive Wearing’s respective lesions and disabilities. The conversion of short-term to long-term memory probably involves the same hippocampal neurons and depends on reinforcement from the amygdala.
Speculations on Spatial Maps and Other Issues
Authors: McComas Alan J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
During evolution of the mammalian hippocampus place cells may have increased their range of activity by coding for ‘what’ regardless of ‘where,’ thereby creating semantic memory. Is the hippocampus continually creating ever-changing spatial maps? Are the arrays of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex related to the map of odour-specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb?
Coptic Interference in the Syntax of Greek Letters from Egypt
Authors: Fendel Victoria Beatrix Maria 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Egypt in the early Byzantine period was a bilingual country where Greek and Egyptian (Coptic) were used alongside each other. Historical studies along with linguistic studies of the phonology and lexicon of early Byzantine Greek in Egypt testify to this situation. In order to describe the linguistic traces the language-contact situation left behind in individuals’ linguistic output, this study analyses the syntax of early Byzantine Greek texts from Egypt. The primary object of interest is bilingual interference in the syntax of verbs, adverbial phrases, and clause linkage as well as in semi-formulaic expressions and formulaic frames. The study is based on a corpus of Greek and Coptic private letters on papyrus, which date from the fourth to mid-seventh centuries, originate from Egypt, and belong to bilingual, Greek-Coptic, papyrus archives. The study shows that deviations from the standard pattern fall into three categories, i.e. bilingual interference, SLA-related errors, and internal confusion of patterns. There is a marked difference as to the extent to which deviations, and interferences in particular, affect syntactic domains. The degree of complexity of the syntactic structure in question as well as the degree of divergence from the corresponding Coptic structure seem to play a role. There is also a marked difference as to the extent to which deviations affect different types of contexts (i.e. free, semi-formulaic, and formulaic contexts). The degree to which constraints are imposed on structures in each type of context seems to play a role. Finally, it appears that the way writers assimilated patterns can explain a large number of deviations. Interferences account proportionately for fewest deviations vis-à-vis SLA-related errors and the internal confusion of patterns.
The Poetry of Indian Music
Authors: Jahanbegloo Ramin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
India has undergone, the Indian creativity and imagination have undergone certain desirable transformations and certain undesirable interruptions and disjunctions. For instance, in both classical India and mediaeval India, literature and the arts were together, sharing the same symbology, the same repertoire of imagery, the same leitmotifs, the same narratives, etc. In poetry and visual arts, in music, and in dance as well. With the intervention of the so-called modern, which was largely induced by an encounter with the West, the colonizing West, some serious changes took place. Music and dance became ‘classical’, poetry, theatre, visual arts became ‘modern’. They parted company in a certain sense.

Abstract
While the presence and relevance of Indian tradition to India cannot be denied, nor possibly be objected to, no tradition, whether Indian or any other, could be, in such a complex evolving world, be completely a matter of the past. Past is important, the presence of past in our present is also relevant and can be felt, but past cannot claim to have found all the answers for everything, for us already. There are huge number of problems, issues and concerns which would have never arisen before. Look at this issue of right to privacy, there is no evidence in our traditions, whether a person has this inalienable right.
The Indian Telecom Distress

Abstract
This case study is about stress and survival of telecom industry players. India’s telecommunication network is the second largest in the world by number of telephone user (for both fixed and mobile phone). The major players are Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone-Idea. If we look back in to the history Reliance communication launched in the telecom industry in the year 2002. Later on other global measure launched in India like Vodafone, Uninor, Docomo. Current scenario in the telecom industry—where we have disruption in the call charge prizing with lowest ever monthly rental launched by Jio (Mukesh Ambani group). After launch of Jio, the existing stabilize private player Airtel, Vodafone-Idea faced challenges of survival due to low AGR. This case will highlight policies that depart from telecom sector. They must reconsider or update in order to offer the best consumer experience and prizing war. This case will highlight telecom crisis. The department of telecommunication appears to be on the side of operators but survivors are still in trouble. The battle between Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone-Idea—it became very intense. Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) came to Airtel and Vodafone Idea for support. The COAI warned Supreme Court that the telecom sector would turn into a monopoly if Jio allowed to behave on own wish without proper policies in place. However this did not go well with Jio and they shot off a letter to COAI talking about the sector. Jio said, ‘these operators anyways were not investing sufficiently in the sector and have been shedding crocodile tears by claiming financial stress for a long time now and have not shown any inclination to modernize the networks.’

Abstract
The Hindustan Bank case is particularly interesting in the way the narration talks about the management personnel needing to be multi—talented, it’s not just about to know finance and banking rights, its more so about people management, IT skills, marketing, and other domains. It not enough to just be aware of your core specializations. To be successful in the banking industry no matter at what level one should be aware of how to lead a team, how to improve product success, know how best to complete your task, upgrade skills and become tech savvy. This case is beneficial not only for the finance student but also for students from other specializations.
