description: Incomplete covariate vectors are known to be problematic for estimation and inferences on model parameters, but their impact on prediction performance is less understood. We develop an imputation-free method that builds on a random partition model admitting variable-dimension covariates. Cluster-specific response models further incorporate covariates via linear predictors, facilitating estimation of smooth prediction surfaces with relatively few clusters. We exploit marginalization techniques of Gaussian kernels to analytically project response distributions according to any pattern of missing covariates, yielding a local regression with internally consistent uncertainty propagation that utilizes only one set of coefficients per cluster. Aggressive shrinkage of these coefficients regulates uncertainty due to missing covariates. The method allows in- and out-of-sample prediction for any missingness pattern, even if the pattern in a new subject's incomplete covariate vector was not seen in the training data. We develop an MCMC algorithm for posterior sampling that improves a computationally expensive update for latent cluster allocation. Finally, we demonstrate the model's effectiveness for nonlinear point and density prediction under various circumstances by comparing with other recent methods for regression of variable dimensions on synthetic and real data.
title: A Select Bibliography of Periodical Literature Published in English, German, French, Sanskrit, Hindi, Pali, Bengali During 1951-1966 on Some Aspects of Indian Culture (Philosophy, Religion, Linguistics, Literature) From the Post-Vedic to the Pre-Kalidasa Era.

description: The present work comprises two parts: (i) Introduction to library problems concerning Indology. (ii) Select Bibliography. The First Part analyses the problems arising out of the work done in the Second Part. It surveys the Indian subjects treated in World Classification Schemes and offers a discussion on Cataloguing Codes, assignment of subject- headings, Indic names, form of the author heading, standardization of surnames etc. The Second Part: The Select Bibliography is intended to present a select and annotated bibliography comprising a more or less exhaustive survey of periodical literature on some aspects of Indology. The period under survey starts circa 600 B.C., when later Upanisadic ideas started to set and a number of items of Smrti literature appeared to expound the knotty and rigorous Sutras of the Vedas. This was the age of Vedanga, Dharma-sutras, epics, Lokayatas, Buddha and Jaina. This new trend in ideology continued without any break till the third quarter of the fourth century A.D, when kalidasa, the nightingale of Sanskrit literature ushered in a classical age in the Indian literary world. The present piece of work concludes before the kalidasa era.

description: The nonequilibrium Fokker-Planck dynamics with a non-conservative drift field, in dimension $N\geq 2$, can be related with the non-Hermitian quantum mechanics in a real scalar potential $V$ and in a purely imaginary vector potential -$iA$ of real amplitude $A$. Since Fokker-Planck probability density functions may be obtained by means of Feynman's path integrals, the previous observation points towards a general issue of "magnetically affine" propagators, possibly of quantum origin, in real and Euclidean time. In below we shall follow the $N=3$ "magnetic thread", within which one may keep under a computational control formally and conceptually different implementations of magnetism (or surrogate magnetism) in the dynamics of diffusion processes. We shall focus on interrelations (with due precaution to varied, not evidently compatible, notational conventions) of: (i) the pertinent non-conservatively drifted diffusions, (ii) the classic Brownian motion of charged particles in the (electro)magnetic field, (iii) diffusion processes arising within so-called Euclidean quantum mechanics (which from the outset employs non-Hermitian "magnetic" Hamiltonians), (iv) limitations of the usefulness of the Euclidean map $\exp(-itH_{quant}) \rightarrow \exp(-tH_{Eucl})$, regarding the probabilistic significance of inferred (path) integral kernels in the description of diffusion processes.

Year: 1971

description: This thesis is concerned with the syntactic relations between the noun-phrases and the main verb in Sinhalese sentences. The term 'Case' identifies these syntactic relations. The grammatical model which is utilized in this study is the case grammar proposed by Charles J. Fillmore, mainly in 'The Case for Case'. The Introduction outlines some general characteristics of the Sinhalese Language and specifies the particular stratum of language from which the data for the present study are abstracted. Chapter 2 presents a brief survey of the earlier approaches to the study of 'case'. At the end, it is proposed that a distinction between 'Case' and 'case-form' be maintained Chapter 5 describes the basic assumptions of Fillmore's case grammar. Chapter 4 starts with a discussion of the classification of verbs according to the number of arguments with which they occur and it describes the grammar of one-place verbs. Chapter 5 provides a grammatical description of two- place verbs and three-place verbs. Chapter 6 describes grammatical facts associated with a number of topics, namely: the Instrumental Case, the Locative, Source and Goal Cases. Extra-nuclear Locative and Time Cases are also described. Chapter 7 provides a grammatical description of causative sentences. These sentences are related to noncausative sentences by Causativization. Chapter 8 describes the grammar of non-volitional verbs. Chapter 9 analyses existential, locative and possessive constructions, and they are recognized as members of a single sentence type which can be identified as 'existential sentences'. The inalienable possessive constructions and the problems associated with the sentences containing nominal predicates are also described. Chapter 10 closes this grammatical description.

description: We demonstrate mid-circuit measurements in a neutral atom array by shelving data qubits in protected hyperfine-Zeeman sub-states while non-destructively measuring an ancilla qubit. Measurement fidelity was enhanced using microwave repumping of the ancilla during the measurement. The coherence of the shelved data qubits was extended during the ancilla readout with dynamical decoupling pulses, after which the data qubits are returned to mf = 0 computational basis states. We demonstrate that the quantum state of the data qubits is well preserved up to a constant phase shift with a state preparation and measurement (SPAM) corrected process fidelity of F = 97.0(5)%. The measurement fidelity on the ancilla qubit after correction for state preparation errors is F = 94.9(8)% and F = 95.3(1.1)% for |0> and |1> qubit states, respectively. We discuss extending this technique to repetitive quantum error correction using quadrupole recooling and microwave-based quantum state resetting.

description: In ultrafast experiments, an optical pump pulse often generates transient domain walls of the order parameter in materials with spontaneous symmetry breaking, due to either a finite penetration depth of light on a three-dimensional (3D) material, or a finite spot size on a two-dimensional (2D) material. We show that the domain wall decays due to unstable order parameter fluctuations. We study a generic system with $U(1)$-symmetric order, and those with an additional weak $Z_2$ ($U(1)$-symmetry-breaking) term, representing the charge-density-wave (CDW) orders in recent experiments. During the first stage of the decay dynamics, exponentially growing thermal fluctuations convert the domain wall into an interface with randomly distributed topological defects. In the second stage, the topological defects undergo a coarsening dynamics within the interface. For a 2D interface in a 3D system, the coarsening dynamics leads to a diffusive growth of the correlation length. For a one-dimensional (1D) interface in a 2D system with the weak $Z_2$ term, the correlation-length growth shows a crossover from diffusive to sub-diffusive behavior.

description: BACKGROUND: Early-life vitamin D is a potentially modifiable risk factor for the development of eczema, but there is a lack of data on longitudinal associations. METHOD: We measured 25(OH)D3 levels from neonatal dried blood spots in 223 high-allergy-risk children. Latent class analysis was used to define longitudinal eczema phenotype up to 25 years (4 subclasses). Skin prick tests (SPTs) to 6 allergens and eczema outcomes at 6 time points were used to define eczema/sensitization phenotypes. Associations between 25(OH)D3 and prevalent eczema and eczema phenotypes were assessed using logistic regression models. RESULTS: Median 25(OH)D3 level was 32.5 nmol/L (P25-P75 = 23.1 nmol/L). Each 10 nmol/L increase in neonatal 25(OH)D3 was associated with a 26% reduced odds of early-onset persistent eczema (adjusted multinomial odds ratio (aMOR) = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.56-0.98) and 30% increased odds of early-onset-resolving eczema (aMOR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.05-1.62) when compared to minimal/no eczema up to 12 years. Similar associations were seen for eczema phenotype up to 25 years. We did not see any strong evidence for the association between neonatal 25(OH)D3 and prevalent eczema or eczema/sensitization phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: Higher neonatal 25(OH)D3 levels, a reflection of maternal vitamin D levels in pregnancy, may reduce the risk of early-onset persistent eczema.

Statistically equivalent models with different causal structures: An example from physics identity

description: Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical method widely used in educational research to investigate relationships between variables. SEM models are typically constructed based on theoretical foundations and assessed through fit indices. However, a well-fitting SEM model alone is not sufficient to verify the causal inferences underlying the proposed model, as there are statistically equivalent models with distinct causal structures that equally well fit the data. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers using SEM to consider statistically equivalent models and to clarify why the proposed model is more accurate than the equivalent ones. However, many SEM studies did not explicitly address this important step, and no prior study in physics education research has delved into potential methods for distinguishing statistically equivalent models with differing causal structures. In this study, we use physics identity model as an example to discuss the importance of considering statistically equivalent models and how other data can help to distinguish them. Previous research has identified three dimensions of physics identity: perceived recognition, self-efficacy, and interest. However, the relationships between these dimensions have not been thoroughly understood. In this paper, we specify a model with perceived recognition predicting self-efficacy and interest, which is inspired by individual interviews with students in physics courses to make physics learning environments equitable and inclusive. We test our model with fit indices and discuss its statistically equivalent models with different causal inferences among perceived recognition, self-efficacy, and interest. We then discuss potential experiments that could further empirically test the causal inferences underlying the models, aiding the refinement to a more accurate causal model for guiding educational improvements.

title: Poets and Poetry of Modern Iran.
Creators: name: Ishaque, M.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1940

description: The accompanying thesis embodies a critical account of the poets and poetry of modern Iran. In the wake of the Constitutional movement in Iran, Persian poetry suffered a considerable change. If the classical poetry is theoretical in meaning and expression, the modern poetry is eminently practical: a new consciousness and a new outlook characterize it. In order to gather first-hand knowledge, I paid visits to Iran in 1930 and 1934. During eight months which I spent in the country, I visited important cities and centres of learning, and had long talks with the poets and poetesses. On returning to India, I published the materials collected in Iran in the form of an anthology entitled "Sukhanvaran-i Iran dar 'Asr-i Hazir" in two volumes, both of which were sympathetically reviewed in Great Britain, France, Germany, America, Iran and India, In 1934, I had the privilege of meeting Prof. V. Minorsky at the celebrations of Firdausi Millenary held at Tehran and Tus. Owing to his encouragement and supervision I have been able to present this thesis. The thesis comprises nine chapters. In its first part it deals with the preparatory period of modern Persian poetry and then introduces the poets chronologically, with their individual characteristics. In the second part the general problems are studied, such as the development in the language, metre and the contents of poetry. The changes are considered in their double aspect, that is both as an independent indigenous development and as a result of external influences. The sources from which I have derived my information are indicated in the body of the thesis or in the foot-notes. I wish to stress the fact that much of the material utilized in my thesis is inaccessible in the West and that the task of collecting them has been long and not devoid of the element of adventure.

description: Having common reference frames or aligned coordinate systems, is one of the presumptions in witnessing entanglement in a two-party state possessed by two remote parties. This assumption may fail for many reasons. With an unlimited supply of singlet states, the two parties can first align their coordinate systems and then measure any entanglement witness. In this article, we propose an alternative method which uses the same resource for incomplete teleportation of states between the two parties, enabeling them to witness the entanglement of any shared state by local measurements without the need of prior alignment of the coordinate systems. The method works for any kind of witness and in any dimension. Beyond the context of Entanglement Witnesses, our method works also for remote measurements of observables of particles (entangled or not) in laboratories which may have deficiency in their resources.

title: Aspects of Literary Criticism and Their Influence on the Early Abbasid Poets.
Creators: name: Al-Hani, N.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1950

description: Three aspects of literary criticism are here treated. They are language, contents and prosody. The first chapter seelks to show that in the early days literary studies were undertaken not for their own sake but as an adjunct to the study of the Kor'an. The language of poetry received the particular attention of philologists whose object was to furnish material for the interpretation of the Kor'an. These philologists held the old poets in high esteem end conversely regarded later poets as inferior in language. The poets who came after al-Farazdak strove to liberate themselves from the limitations imposed upon them by the philologists. Many unsuccessful attempts to do this took place up to the time of Bashshar. With this poet a new type of poetry appeared. In chapter two four poets are studied, they are; Bashshar b.Burd, Al-Sayyid al-Himyari, Abul-Atahiya, and Abu-Tammam. It is the object of this chapter to illustrate the long struggle which finally culminated in the emancipation of poetry from the restriction of the classical conception. In chapters three and four we shall set forth the requirement of the critics with regard to the several poetic forms such as panegyric, satire, elegy, and love poetry. It will be pointed out that wile the critics succeeded in clearly specifying the nature and requirements of these four aspects of poetry, a full understanding of descriptive poetry sscaped thom They were, moreover, unable to impose their authority upon the poets. The latter were not only independent of the critics but were in fact able to direct the literary movement according to their own desires and concetuons. Various poets are studied in order to illustrate this view. In chapter five the connection between prosody and singing is illustrated and the theory of the perfection of al-Khalil's prosody is refuted. Chapter six traces the transition which occurred in singing and points to a similar transition in poetry. Now metres consequently appeared and Abul-Atamiya and Razin the metrician are considered as having been instrumental in bringing about a fundamental change in prosody. Abul-Atahiya developed two new metres which were classified by the critics while Razin produced a further metre, as yet unclassified . If this metre can be accepted as entirely new, the total number of Arabic motres stand at seventeen and not sixteen as formerly held.

Creators: name: Alpers, Edward Alter

description: Long distance routes, based on ivory, from the interior of East-Central Africa to Mozambique and Kilwa were forged by the Maravi and the Yao, respectively, during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and by about 1698 the Yao apparently dominated both these routes. After 1698, factors influencing the ivory trade at the coast caused the Yao to shift most of their trade from Kilwa to Mozambique, where Yao ivory soon constituted the basis of the island's trade. In the interior, the Yao traded with the Maravi and, through the Bisa, with the recently established Eastern Lunda state of the Mwata Kazembe. After 1750, Kilwa slowly began to revive as Zanzibar, under Omani hegemony, became an increasingly important coastal entrepot, while the trade of Mozambique was plagued by Makua belligerence and by Portuguese harassment of the Indian trading community there. By 1785, influenced in particular by the better price paid for ivory at Kilwa, most Yao had rechannelled their trade back to Kilwa. Concurrently, the substance of trade in East-Central Africa was being altered, as slaves became an increasingly important commodity due to the rising demands of both the Arabs and French traders from the Mascarene Islands. By the beginning of the nineteenth century, although ivory still dominated the Yao trade to Kilwa, those Yao who continued to trade to Mozambique were already basing their trade on slaves. By the late 1830s slaves had also become dominant along the Kilwa route, which continued to command the bulk of Yao trade. The Ngoni invasions and mid-century dispersal of the Yao, caused by Makua and Lomwe attacks from the east, transformed the Yao from traders into invaders, as they spilled into Malawi and Tanzania, and marked the beginning of Yao political hegemony over a wider area of East-Central Africa, while destroying the earlier pattern of trade.

description: This is a study of a political society called the Committee of Union and Progress (Ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyeti) between the years 1908 and 1913. Because of the role it played in the insurrection which forced the Sultan to re-establish the 1876 Constitution, the Committee emerged as the dominant political group in July 1908. But the Committee's position did not remain unchallenged for long. Political forces which had previously been obscured by the struggle against the Palace came to the surface, and there began a period of political activity and debate unequalled in the history of modern Turkey. I have endeavoured to show that the CUP, while being the dominant political group, never had a monopoly of power during this period. Political and social conditions prevailing within (and without) the Ottoman Empire forced it to share power with the traditional ruling groups, such as the bureaucratic elite symbolised by the Sublime Porte (Babiali) and the army. The Committee also compromised with other political organisations. I have also tried to show how the social and political attributes of the CUP were constantly changing, so that by 1913 the Committee had narrowed down its affiliations and was in a position to establish the 86-called triumvirate of Enver, Cemal and Talât. The thesis has been divided for the sake of convenience and symmetry into five chapters, each chapter ending with an event of major importance. Chapter 1 deals with the rebellion and ends with the restoration of the constitution. Chapter II ends with the counter-revolution of 1909; Chapter III with the resignation of Grand Vezir Hilmi Pasa in December, 1909; it also examines the constitutional amendments. Chapter IV ends with Italy's declaration of war in September 1911, and Chapter V with the coup d'etat of 23 January, 1913. I have concluded this study with some general observations on the period of the Committee of Union and Progress as a whole.

Year: 1979

description: Central Kono District in the Eastern part of Sierra Leone, West Africa, experienced a series of diamond rushes between 1950 and the mid-1970's. By 1975 the diamond deposits were becoming exhausted and further rapid increases in mining activity seemed unlikely. As a result of these diamond rushes the population and settlement geography of central Kono District was radically changed. A distinct hierarchy of settlements and a network of communications developed. Urbanisation was a phenomenon new to Kono District, but by the 1970's central Kono was the largest urban area in Sierra Leone outside the capital, and its principal town, Koidu, had become the second largest town in the country. New urban forms were introduced and new patterns of settlements resulted, influenced by the distribution of diamond mining areas. The population of central Kono, and especially of the towns, changed with widespread immigration from the rest of Sierra Leone and from surrounding countries. The population diversified ethnically, culturally and occupationally. New functions and facilities to serve the larger and wealthier population developed, especially in Koidu. With the decline in diamond mining, some people have already left the area, and more may leave in the future, but it is expected that many people will remain in the area and especially in Koidu. Some step migration is likely to occur up the hierarchy of settlements. The larger settlements, especially Koidu, have already become major commercial centres. This study describes, both temporally and spatially, the mining settlements and their relationships with immigration; the ethnicity and occupations of the immigrants; household structures; and the forms and functions of the settlements.

description: We identify emergent hydrodynamics governing charge transport in Brownian random circuits with various symmetries, constraints, and ranges of interactions. This is accomplished via a mapping between the averaged dynamics and the low energy spectrum of a Lindblad operator, which acts as an effective Hamiltonian in a doubled Hilbert space. By explicitly constructing dispersive excited states of this effective Hamiltonian using a single mode approximation, we provide a comprehensive understanding of diffusive, subdiffusive, and superdiffusive relaxation in many-body systems with conserved multipole moments and variable interaction ranges. Our approach further allows us to identify exotic Krylov-space-resolved hydrodynamics exhibiting diffusive relaxation despite the presence of dipole conservation, which we verify numerically. Our approach provides a general and versatile framework to qualitatively understand the dynamics of conserved operators under random unitary time evolution.

title: Turkish Cypriots in London: Economy, Society, Culture and Change.
Creators: name: Ladbury, Sarah
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1979

description: This is a study of Turkish Cypriot settlers in London and it arises from fieldwork carried out in London and in northern Turkish Cyprus. Most Turkish Cypriot migrants to Britain have been resident here for around 20 years; many of their children were born in this country and there is every indication that they are making Britain their permanent home. The Turkish Cypriot population here must therefore be seen as a settled ethnic minority, and not as temporary migrant workers. Unlike studies of the race relations type which tend to focus on the various problems minority populations experience in Britain - for ex-ample, in the sphere of education, in obtaining housing and securing jobs - this study focusses on the economic, social and cultural organization of Turkish Cypriots here and the changes which are occurring and have occurred in these spheres. As the majority migrated for economic reasons, the work context receives initial consideration. It is suggested that economic interests are important determinants affecting decisions made in other areas of social life. In subsequent chapters, family roles and relationships are discussed, and the role and status of Turkish Cypriot women in Britain are examined. Ritual and celebratory occasions are given extensive consideration and, finally, Turkish Cypriot relations with other minority populations - especially Greek Cypriots - are described and analysed. In each case, the focus is London, but continual reference is made to the form taken by these activities and institutions in Cyprus. It is suggested throughout that Turkish Cypriots are not just passively fitting in to a dominant and discriminatory majority society, but that they are very positively maintaining; reorganising and even abandoning aspects of their traditional culture where it is practically convenient or economically advantageous to do so. The continuing adherence to certain norms which appear to have no particular relevance in the Lon-don context also has to be explained. In particular, the ritualisation of kinship ties and the maintenance of ethnic identity must, it is suggested, be understood in terms of a concept of 'alternative ideologies'. Since this is the first anthropological study to focus on Turkish Cypriot settlers in London, it is hoped that it will also provide a basis for future research.

It includes a chapter concerned with a brief treatment of the place of sex-dialect in modern linguistic theory, an analysis of the possible realisations and explanations of sex-dialect, and a review of some broad concepts such as bilingualism, diglossia and code-switching, in the light of male-female linguistic differentiation. The three remaining chapters furnish proof and exemplification of the linguistic manifestation of the social division caused by sexual divisions. Within these chapters, the concept of context of situation is emphasised as being a very important parameter in language study. The second chapter is concerned with phonological differences between males and females, and starts with the correlation between formant frequency and social conditioning, and proceeds to consider the use of vowels and consonants as well as certain prosodic features in the speech of males and females. Certain sociolinguistic parameters such as age, status, and so forth, are shown here and elsewhere to have important impact on language use. The third chapter is a study of the grammatical manifestations of sex-dialect, the majority of which are mostly accounted for in terms of probability of occurrence. Finally, the last chapter is concerned with lexical differences in male and female speech in both address and reference. At every point during this discussion, there is a strong reminder of the interrelationship between social behaviour, culture, and language use.
title: Production, Labour Migrancy and the Chieftancy: Aspects of the Political Economy of Pondoland, ca. 1860-1930.

description: This thesis is a contribution towards the study of the transformation of African society in South Africa under the impact of colonisation and capitalist development. It is a case study of political and economic change in one African chiefdom, the Mpondo, before and after the society was annexed by the Cape Colony in 1894. In the first chapter, an attempt is made to analyse the nature of the economy of the chiefdom prior to colonial rule, to discuss the relationship between chiefs and people, and to assess the effects of the penetration of colonial traders into the area. The second chapter, dealing with the response of the Mpondo chiefs to economic change, argues that the political conflict between the chiefs and colonial powers in the late nineteenth century must be located in the struggle for control over trade. Responses to Rinderpest (1897), the opening of colonial markets for Mpondo grain and attempts to mobilise a migrant labour force from Pondoland are analysed in chapter three. It is sug-gested that the simultaneous increase in grain production and migrancy can only be explained if the particular form of early migrancy and the structure of Mpondo homesteads is understood. Chapter four illustrates the effects of state intervention in Pondoland after Union (1910). While the Mpondo were blocked from markets for much of their produce and more deeply incorporated into the capitalist economy as migrant labourers, changes in patterns of cropping and family structure enabled output to be maintained. In chapter five, it is argued that the Cape and Union governments, after attempting, initially, to destroy the chieftaincy, allowed the chiefs some leeway in order to maintain control in Pondoland. The survival of chiefly authority, especially insofar as it included control over the distribution of land, had important implications for the nature of production and stratification in the area. Rural differentiation, emerging rural class divisions, and conflicts and alliances in rural politics are discussed in chapter six.
title: Gandhiites and Socialists: The Struggle for Control of the Indian National Congress, 1931-1939.

description: During the 1930s diverse elements within the Indian National Congress, each professing a belief in the tenets of western socialism, combined in a series of attempts to supplant the established leaders of the Congress---the Gandhiites. The Gandhiites responded with an effort to accommodate the socialists within the Congress and, simultaneously, to limit their ability to change Congress policy. By the end of the 1930s, it became obvious that socialism was a factor in Congress politics, not because of the strength of socialist parties in the Congress, but because socialism offered displaced elements in the Congress an opportunity to join anti-Gandhiite coalitions. Such coalitions failed because of the political genius and agility of their Gandhiite opponents and because of the lack of a community of interest (beyond the wish to displace the Gandhiites) among the elements of the coalitions. Chapter one is an examination of the development of the Congress constitution as an evolving model of the machinery of the Congress as the Gandhiites wished it to be. Chapter two is a discussion of the emergence of socialism in the Congress and of the ways in which socialists wished to change the Congress. Chapters three and four analyze the different ways in. which Gandhiites and socialists reacted to British attempts to reform the Government of India. Chapter five is an analysis of points of difference in the Congress which arose over policies instituted by the Gandhiites through provincial governments under their control. Chapter six is an analysis of the Gandhiite policy of non-interference in the political affairs of the princely states and of socialist reaction to that policy. The seventh and final chapter discusses the events which led Subhas Bose to form an anti-Gandhiite coalition in 1939. The failure of Bose's Forward Bloc marked the end of a phase in the socialist challenge to Gandhiite control of the Indian National Congress.

description: This thesis presents a study of the problems of law and order and the branches of the administration which tackled them in Oudh from its annexation in 1856 until its amalgamation with the North-Western Provinces in 1877, It has been demonstrated that an efficient and forward-looking administration could not be established in Oudh before the outbreak of the Revolt of 1857; that the administration contrived to alienate all sections of the people during the first seventeen months of its rule. The policy of reconciliation, backed by coercion whenever necessary, and the development of an elitist bias in policy with a view to the rapid restoration of order and the pacification of the province after its reoccupation have been traced and analysed. The development of a more efficient and economical police system, which set the pattern of police reform in India had been discussed. The principal defects of the new police have also been analysed. Changes in the judicial system have similarly been assessed - the abandonment of the non-regulation system, decentralisation, the appointment of Honorary Magistrates and attempts to devise appropriate scales of punishment. A statistical analysis of crimes has been presented. The factors giving rise to crime in general, and the various categories of crime, their extent and regional and social distribution have been analysed. The success of the Oudh administration in all these fields has been assessed while its failures have been recognised.

title: The Internal Administration of Lord Lytton, With Special Reference to Social and Economic Policy, 1876-1880.

description: This is a study of some aspects of Lord Lytton's social and economic policy. Lytton was very anxious to reduce, if not totally abolish, the cotton duties. His anxiety was due primarily to his wish to help the Conservative Party through this tariff reform. Besides, he believed in the economic wisdom of free trade principles. It was "because of his belief in the latter principles that he did not allow any interference in the free play of private trade during the famine in Bombay and Madras. In addition, he wanted the two famines to be managed as economically as possible, for he knew that unless there were a surplus, he could not reduce the cotton duties. This, in its turn, led to much trouble between the Supreme Government and the two Presidency Governments. The chief aim of Lytton's social policy was his belief in the wisdom of befriending the Indian aristocracy. With this purpose in view, he constituted the statutory Civil Service, which was to attract and employ the sons of rich and influential Indians. At the same time, his action in the Puller Case demonstrated that he was not prepared to tolerate the ill-treatment of Indians, especially the lower classes, by the Europeans resident in India. But he was disposed to regard the educated Indians with suspicion, for they were the authors of the semi-seditious articles in the vernacular Press. And to curt this, he passed the Vernacular Press Act. This study is based on Lord Lytton's private papers, as well as on official archives, contemporary newspapers and published books.
title: The British Conquest and Administration of Orissa, 1803-1819.

description: In this thesis an attempt is made to analyse the British conquest and administration of Orissa. Chronologically the subject covers the period between 1803 and 1819. Geographically the subject relates to that Maratha Orissa which was brought under British rule after its conquest. This work is divided into ten chapters. Chapter I deals with the British attempt to secure Orissa through diplomacy. Chapter II describes the British plan of attack and final occupation of Orissa. Chapter III outlines the British tackling of the rebellion of the Raja of Khurda. Chapter IV recounts the British policy towards some tributary states exempted from the general regulations. Chapter V narrates the British religious policy with special reference to the management of the temple of Jagannath and the collection of the pilgrim tax. Chapter VI concerns economic policy. It is subdivided into four sections. Section I shows the introduction of Cornwallis's system of revenue administration. Section II concerns the currency problem. Section III narrates the introduction of salt monopoly. Section IV concerns the administration on of the embankments. Chapter VII explains the introduction of the Bengal judicial system. Chapter VIII describes the rebellion of 1817. Chapter IX analyses the reforms which were subsequently adopted. In Chapter X an attempt is made to bring these themes together. In a particular country changes in the Government usually involve problems of adaptation, because old ideas are set aside to make room for the new ones. If a regulation is enforced suddenly or abruptly, there is the possibility of a popular reaction against it. This is shown in Chapters VI, VII and VIII. How far popular reactions helped to determine the policy of the Government is shown in Chapter IX. The work is mostly based on original official sources. Some private papers are also used.
