Leadership, Economic Reforms and Policy Processes in an Indian State: The Regime of ‘JB’ (Chief Minister Janaki Ballav Patnaik) in Odisha
Creators: name: Barik, Radhakanta
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: In Indian society, political leaders play a creative role in the process of modernization by integrating diverse social groups. Mobilization of diverse social groups under effective leadership channelizes the energy of these groups into the political system. Dialogue among these groups, the political leadership, the bureaucracy and the civil society bring synergy. This synergy gets articulated in the policy-making process. Constant dialogue and feedback processes make these policies work and produce positive results. JB Patnaik, a leader of the Provincial Congress Party, succeeded in creating an environment of giving impetus to the development of a traditional society like that of Odisha. He remained the Chief Minister of the State for three terms. A stable political regime supported the State government to move ahead in the process of modernization. However, his leadership style and the venality and corruption at the core of his regime, led ultimately to the decline of the Congress Party in Odisha.

Kauṭilya's Arthaśāstra: A Classic Text of Statecraft and an Untapped Political Science Resource
Creators: name: Liebig, Michael
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: The Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra – written at the turn of the 4th to the 3rd century BC – is a classical work of political theory and International Relation theory. However, Kauṭilya has so far remained on the sidelines of the international political science discourse in spite of Max Weber's repeated references to the Arthaśāstra and Hans J. Morgenthau's own statement that his theory of political realism is (also) based on ancient Indian philosophy. The Arthaśāstra is a theoretical and normative work which features six pivotal idea clusters: 1) state power, 2) raison d'état, 3) correlation of forces between competing states based on 4) the saptāṅga theory of the seven “state factors” (prakr̥ti). The correlation of forces predetermines which of six alternative foreign policy options – the 5) ṣāḍguṇya theory – will be selected. The background of Kauṭilya's 'realist' statecraft is 6) matsya-nyāya theory – a political anthropology which features anarchy, conflicts of interest and power struggle. Kauṭilya's idea of political realism anticipates much of the modern notion which is associated not only with Machiavelli and Hobbes, but particularly with Hans J. Morgenthau and also with Max Weber, Helmuth Plessner and Friedrich Meinecke. The Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra is an untapped conceptional resource for theory building with respect to political theory, theorized statecraft and IR theory. The Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra is also key for understanding the politico-strategic culture of modern India.

Speaking of Identity : The role of speaking and writing amongst speakers of Na’vi
Creators: name: Schreyer, Christine
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: In the summer of 2011, I conducted a survey with speakers of the Na’vi language (created for the movie Avatar, which was released in 2009). Recent analysis of the results has shown that many Na’vi speakers aren’t speakers at all, but rather readers and writers of Na’vi who do not yet feel comfortable speaking the language, and yet they still identify as members of this speech community. Since the Na’vi community is a virtual community where written communication still predominates, the ability to read and write can be seen as a form of social capital. As one respondent stated, “Given the overwhelmingly written nature of the Internet as a communication medium, it is inevitable that many people will learn written Na'vi before spoken [Na’vi]” (Schreyer 2011a). In fact, many community members will spend a length of time reading Na’vi before attempting to write or speak the language. This paper will provide discussion on how community members think writing indexes their identity, it will also describe how writing as the primary means of socialization has impacted the community and the language itself including: accent development, standardization of speech, the development of informal and formal genres, and the development of written and audio acquisition tools and methods. Finally, this paper addresses the theoretical implications of privileging the term “speaker” in the context of the digital age and the development of more virtual communities where spoken words may no longer be the first, or primary, means of communication.

Rethinking India’s Nuclear Policy: Credible Minimum Nuclear Deterrence as a Dynamic Transformation of Nuclear Option Open
Creators: name: Nakanishi, Hiroaki
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: After its 1998 nuclear test, India’s nuclear doctrine was described as ‘credible minimum nuclear deterrence’. India’s nuclear doctrine and policy are often characterized, in the academic discourse, as if the country pursues an assertive military doctrine and policy. Has the Indian National Congress (INC)-led government that has been in place since 2004 altered the nuclear policy formulated by the former Bharatiya Jhanata Party (BJP)-led government? Although the BJP-led government led India towards nuclearization in 1998, in practice, it appears to have maintained a posture of restraint. To clarify India’s nuclear policy under the INC-led government that has been in power since 2004, this paper analyzes continuities and discontinuities between the two governments. It argues that the present government has endorsed a nuclear policy that resembles the 1999 Draft on Nuclear Doctrine, reflecting a traditional policy called ‘nuclear option open’.

Examining the Generalizability of the User Engagement Scale (UES) in Exploratory Search
Creators: name: O'Brien, Heather, 1977-
name: Toms, Elaine G.
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2013

description: The user experience is an integral component of interactive information retrieval (IIR). However, there is a twofold problem in its measurement. Firstly, while many IIR studies have relied on a single dimension of user feedback, that of satisfaction, experience is a much more complex concept. IIR in general, and exploratory search more specifically, are dynamic, multifaceted experiences that evoke pragmatic and hedonic needs, expectations, and outcomes that are not adequately captured by user satisfaction. Secondly, questionnaires, which are typically the means in which user’s attitudes and perceptions are measured, are not typically subjected to rigorous reliability and validity testing. To address these issues, we administered the multidimensional User Engagement Scale (UES) in an exploratory search environment to assess users’ perceptions of the Perceived Usability (PUs), Aesthetics (AE), Novelty (NO), Felt Involvement (FI), Focused Attention (FA), and Endurability (EN) aspects of the experience. In a typical laboratory-style study, 381 participants performed three relatively complex search tasks using a novel search interface, and responded to the UES immediately upon completion. We used Principal Axis Factor Analysis and Multiple Regression to examine the factor structure of UES items and the relationships amongst factors. Results showed that three of the six sub-scales (PUs, AE, FA) were stable, while NO, FI and EN merged to form a single factor. We discuss recommendations for revising and validating the UES in light of these findings.
Is dream text length a proxy for dream length?
Creators: name: Hoffman, Curtiss
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2024

description: This is the result of a 34-month long longitudinal study of the author’s dreams.  The author has an unusually high dream recall frequency (average 45/month for 32 years), and during the period studied, from late June 2021 through April 2024, this increased to an average of over 75/month, for a total of 2,765 dreams over the course of 1,110 nights.  With some observed exceptions, the analysis showed that the percentage of nights with dream texts being consistently longer over the course of the night hovered around 70%, depending upon which measure was being used.  Two mitigating factors which offset this trend are discussed.  This tends to confirm findings from dream lab studies with much smaller N that suggest that dream text length does correlate – albeit loosely – with dream length.  To test the integrity of this data set, two random 1% samples of the ca. 16,000 dreams in the author’s dream database which were dreamt prior to the inception of the project were taken – before the author had formulated the idea that dream text length might be related to dream position and might be a proxy for dream length.  The results were slightly less definitive than for the dreams from the study period, but once the mitigating factors were taken into account, the majority of dreams in the random sample did follow the pattern, suggesting that it is valid, at least for the author’s dreaming.

Discourses of Transculturality: Ideas, Institutions and Practices in India and China
Creators: name: Chaudhuri, Bidisha
name: König, Lion
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: Transculturality, though conceptualized differently depending on the intellectual context, is broadly understood here as a research perspective that while challenging universalism, acknowledges the existence of ideas, institutions and practices across different cultural settings as a result of asymmetrical cultural flows. This perspective allows for transcending disciplinary boundaries by deploying concepts such as flow, asymmetry, hybridity, structure and agency as heuristic tools which are crucial in critically analyzing the meta-narratives of Euro-centrism, and their implications for understanding non-Western societies in their own terms, rather than along the lines of Western parameters. Each of these conceptual categories becomes an important tool to address the particular contexts of a society in its entirety rather than fitting them into a given model. This does not imply a theoretical and methodological exoticism of non-Western societies, but constitutes an attempt to generalize from these societies in a more inclusive manner. As the title suggests, this Special Issue strives to comprehend discourses of transculturality as an emerging and alternative paradigm to analyze concrete concepts, such as citizenship, governance, identity, bureaucracy, diplomacy, and tourism networks in the specific contexts of India and China.

Language, Memory And The Vernacular: The Power Of The Ramacaritmanas In India’s Epic Culture
Creators: name: Tiwari, Heeraman
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: What happens when a vernacular literature represents a ‘Great Tradition’ in a different time in history? Does it signal the end of a great tradition, or an extension, proliferation of that tradition? Take for example, the case of the Indian epic, the Ramayana. Composed about three thousand years ago in Sanskrit the lure of this royal story hardly requires an introduction: the story of Prince Rama, the protagonist of the epic, replicated in hundreds of languages, the vernaculars of India and beyond over the last two millennia. One such Ramayana is in Awadhi (a variation of Hindi), the Ramcaritmanas, arguably the most popular among all other versions of the story. This essay attempts to discuss the grammar of genealogy, the structure of the narrative and the power of the story in the vernacular. Is it the vernacular, like Awadhi, which has turned the story into the proverbial narrative of the houses of millions of Indians? Or, is it the majesty of the story of Rama itself, which makes the Ramcaritmanas so popular? The essay argues that power of the vernacular works at three levels: the nature of language, the memory or the structure of the story and the felicity of the medium; the connecting thread at these levels I argue is the tradition of storytelling.

The Composite Dialogue between India and Pakistan: Structure, Process and Agency
Creators: name: Padder, Sajad
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: The roots of the Composite Dialogue Process date back to May 1997, when at Male, the capital of Maldives, the then Indian Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif mooted the idea of a structured dialogue or the Composite Dialogue Process (CDP). Based on a compromise approach, the peace process enabled the two countries to discuss all issues including Jammu and Kashmir, simultaneously. Since its inception, the dialogue process has gone through numerous highs and lows in bilateral relations. It has remained susceptible to unforeseen incidents which have derailed the process several times in the past. However, since April 2003 it has progressed steadily till the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks when the dialogue process was suspended for a long time. This paper dwells upon the history of the peace process since its inception in 1997 and examines the progress made in the eight baskets of issues namely, Peace and Security including confidence building measures(CBMs); Jammu and Kashmir (J&K); Siachen; Wullar Barrage/Tulbul Navigation Project; Sir Creek; Economic and Commercial Cooperation; Terrorism and Drug Trafficking; and, Promotion of Friendly Exchanges in various fields. The analysis of the peace process in this paper hinges on three key questions. First, has any positive change in the mindset of both sides came about over the years due to the peace process? Second, what were the main achievements of CDP? And third, what are the prospects of resolving the pending bilateral issues in future talks?

description: Background: Our research sought to understand how falls risk, cognitive function, and daily function are associated with health related quality of life (using the EuroQol-5D) and quality of life (using the ICECAP-O) among older adults with mobility impairments. Methods The EQ-5D and ICECAP-O were administered at 12 months post first clinic attendance at the Vancouver Falls Prevention Clinic. We report descriptive statistics for all baseline characteristics collected at first clinic visit and primary outcomes of interest. Using multivariate stepwise linear regression, we assessed the construct validity of the EQ-5D and ICECAP-O using three dependent measures that are recognized indicators of “impaired mobility” – physiological falls risk, general balance and mobility, and cognitive status among older adults. Results We report data on 215 seniors who attended the Vancouver Falls Prevention Clinic and received their first clinic assessment. Patients had a mean age of 79.3 (6.2) years. After accounting for known covariates (i.e., age and sex), the ICECAP-O domains explained a greater amount of variation in each of the three dependent measures compared with the EQ-5D domains. Conclusion Both the EQ-5D and ICECAP-O demonstrate associations with falls risk and general balance and mobility; however, only the ICECAP-O was associated with cognitive status among older adults with mobility impairments.

description: Background: Hypertension is a significant health issue due to its global prevalence and role as a major risk factor for numerous life-limiting conditions, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, dementia and kidney disease1,2. Effective management of hypertension is often challenging due to a combination of clinician inertia and low patient engagement evident across Australian communities3.Enhancing general practice care has the potential to address key barriers to hypertension management and prevent needless death and disability associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure. The growth of the general practice nursing (GPN) workforce in Australia has created an opportunity to improve blood pressure management in this setting through a multidisciplinary approach4,5. Despite the potential, evidence is sparse around the impact of GPN-led interventions on blood pressure and health outcomes6.Aim: This Doctoral Project sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a GPN-led intervention to manage hypertension and explore participants' experiences in delivering and receiving this intervention.Methods: This was a two-stage, sequential explanatory mixed methods project. The first stage was a cluster randomised control trial of a GPN-led intervention to improve blood pressure control in people with hypertension and at high risk of CVD6,7. In stage two, a qualitative descriptive study was undertaken to explore the experiences of GPN, general practitioner (GP) and patient participants in the delivery and receipt of the intervention8. This study was significantly impacted by several climate disasters (bushfires and floods) and the COVID-19 pandemic9, which challenged the recruitment and retention of participants.Findings: Twelve general practices actively engaged in the study. Of the 126 people with hypertension and high CVD risk screened, 65 eligible people were recruited (30 intervention and 35 control). Quantitative findings demonstrated no significant difference in systolic blood pressure between control and intervention groups at six months, however, a significant improvement was detected at 12 months (p=0.03)10.

description: Few studies have investigated the causes of evolutionary rate variation among plant nuclear genes, especially in recently diverged species still capable of hybridizing in the wild. The recent advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) permits investigation of genome wide rates of protein evolution and the role of selection in generating and maintaining divergence. Here, we use individual whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNAseq) to refine our understanding of the population genomics of wild species of sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) and the factors that affect rates of protein evolution. We aligned 35 GB of transcriptome sequencing data and identified 433,257 polymorphic sites (SNPs) in a reference transcriptome comprising 16,312 genes. Using SNP markers, we identified strong population clustering largely corresponding to the three species analyzed here (Helianthus annuus, H. petiolaris, H. debilis), with one distinct early generation hybrid. Then, we calculated the proportions of adaptive substitution fixed by selection (alpha) and identified gene ontology categories with elevated values of alpha. The “response to biotic stimulus” category had the highest mean alpha across the three interspecific comparisons, implying that natural selection imposed by other organisms plays an important role in driving protein evolution in wild sunflowers. Finally, we examined the relationship between protein evolution (dN/dS ratio) and several genomic factors predicted to co-vary with protein evolution (gene expression level, divergence and specificity, genetic divergence [FST], and nucleotide diversity pi). We find that variation in rates of protein divergence was correlated with gene expression level and specificity, consistent with results from a broad range of taxa and timescales. This would in turn imply that these factors govern protein evolution both at a microevolutionary and macroevolutionary timescale. Our results contribute to a general understanding of the determinants of rates of protein evolution and the impact of selection on patterns of polymorphism and divergence.

description: The resurgence of the Taliban and the al Qaida are interwoven with the rising tide of militancy in the tribal areas of Pakistan. After the Taliban’s ouster from Afghanistan, the al Qaida and its supporters regrouped in the FATA and launched attacks on the US and NATO troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan, a major ally of the US on war upon terror tried to quell the insurgents but did not succeed. The cross-border infiltration and attacks on US troops continued, causing serious doubts about Pakistan’s sincerity in the suppression of the militancy. The present research focuses on these and other similar issues including the recent trust deficit between US and Pakistan and the essential measures for bringing stability to the region thus ensuring safe withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

description: The Panjab Rivers. — "Panjab" is a Persian compound word, meaning "five waters," and strictly speaking the word denotes the country between the valley of the Jhelam and that of the Sutlej. The intermediate rivers from west to east are the Chenab, the Ravi, and the Bias. Their combined waters at last flow into the Panjnad or "five rivers" at the south-west corner of the Multan district, and the volume of water which 44 miles lower down the Panjnad carries into the Indus is equal to the discharge of the latter. The first Aryan settlers knew this part of India as the land of the seven rivers (sapta sindhavas), adding to the five mentioned above the Indus and the Sarasvati. The old Vedic name is more appropriate than Panjab if we substitute the Jamna for the Sarasvati or Sarusti, which is now a petty stream. (Douie 1916).

description: Background: Maintaining cognitive function is essential for healthy aging and to function autonomously within society. White matter lesions (WMLs) are associated with reduced cognitive function in older adults. However, whether their anatomical location moderates these associations is not well-established. This review systematically evaluates peer-reviewed evidence on the role of anatomical location in the association between WMLs and cognitive function. Methods: In accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement, databases of EMBASE, PUBMED, MEDLINE, and CINAHL, and reference lists of selected papers were searched. We limited our search results to adults aged 60 years and older, and studies published in the English language from 2000 to 2011. Studies that investigated the association between cognitive function and WML location were included. Two independent reviewers extracted: 1) study characteristics including sample size, sample characteristic, and study design; 2) WML outcomes including WML location, WML quantification method (scoring or volume measurement), strength of the MRI magnet in Tesla, and MRI sequence used for WML detection; and 3) cognitive function outcomes including cognitive tests for two cognitive domains of memory and executive function/processing speed. Results: Of the 14 studies included, seven compared the association of subcortical versus periventricular WMLs with cognitive function. Seven other studies investigated the association between WMLs in specific brain regions (e.g., frontal, parietal lobes) and cognitive function. Overall, the results show that a greater number of studies have found an association between periventricular WMLs and executive function/processing speed, than subcortical WMLs. However, whether WMLs in different brain regions have a differential effect on cognitive function remains unclear. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that periventricular WMLs may have a significant negative impact on cognitive abilities of older adults. This finding may be influenced by study heterogeneity in: 1) MRI sequences, WML quantification methods, and neuropsychological batteries; 2) modifying effect of cardiovascular risk factors; and 3) quality of studies and lack of sample size calculation.

description: The purpose of this report is to show the performance of CHESS SETUP system for several types of building under different climate conditions. For each case, the system is evaluated (solar surface, storage capacity, and heat pump power) in order to optimize energy performance, technical viability and economic feasibility. The results of this report will be used during the exploitation of the project. The first chapter shows a sizing of the system for different buildings typologies which have a high thermal and hot water demand (sports centre, hospital, hotel, retirement home…) in different climate zones in Europe. These general cases will provide an overall idea of how the system can be replicated in future projects. The second chapter discusses how the system can be implemented in real study cases, where some of the partners are currently involved and are potential sites where CHESS SETUP can be implemented in a near future. Finally, a preliminary system sizing for the three pilot cases is showed:
 • The main office of Lavola Company in Manlleu,
 • A swimming pool and sports centre in Sant Cugat del Vallès,
 • Existing social homes owned by Corby Borough Council.

description: В статье рассматривается гидрохимическое и экологическое состояние подземных вод в районе арсенидно-кобальтового месторождения Хову-Аксы. В процессе разработки месторождения было создано пять карт-накопителей, где размещались отходы ГОКа «Тувакобальт». Отходы представляют собой хвосты тонко подробленной переработанной руды. В результате неполного извлечения из руд полезных компонентов в хвостохранилищах скопились такие элементы, как кобальт, никель, висмут, медь, сурьма, мышьяк, которые при взаимодействии с водой способны образовывать токсичные соединения. С целью выяснения степени загрязнения подземных вод в районе хвостохранилищ комбината «Тувакобальт» мышьяком и тяжелыми металлами было проведено их опробование и обследование. В статье приведены результаты работ.

description: Alone among herpesviruses, persistent Cytomegalovirus (CMV) markedly alters the numbers and proportions of peripheral immune cells in infected-vs-uninfected people. Because the rate of CMV infection increases with age in most countries, it has been suggested that it drives or at least exacerbates “immunosenescence”. This contention remains controversial and was the primary subject of the Third International Workshop on CMV & Immunosenescence which was held in Cordoba, Spain, 15-16th March, 2012. Discussions focused on several main themes including the effects of CMV on adaptive immunity and immunosenescence, characterization of CMV-specific T cells, impact of CMV infection and ageing on innate immunity, and finally, most important, the clinical implications of immunosenescence and CMV infection. Here we summarize the major findings of this workshop.

description: Включаясь в систему объективных связей и отношений действительности, психические явления (как форма активности субъекта) выступают в роли важнейшей детерминанты (определителя) в жизнедеятельности (как природных, так и жизненных процессов). На современном уровне развития этнопсихологической науки доказано существование связей с позиций общественных наук, а структура психологического облика этноса рассматривается как макросистема (полисистема), состоящая из 3-х уровней (подсистем). Ландшафт, как детерминанта системной связи, участвует в формировании ситуации, обеспечивающей возможность перехода психического развития этноса на новую ступень. Целостность и труднодоступность территории проживания в горной местности этноса тыва способствовало их относительной изолированности и замкнутости. Ландшафт формирует характер народа: терпимость, сдержанность и самодостаточность, что обусловило особенности восприятия окружающего пространства.
India’s Fifteenth General Election: Realities, Implications, Prospects
Creators: name: Mehra, Ajay K.
Publisher: name: Heidelberg Papers in South Asian and Comparative Politics
Year: 2017

description: India’s fifteenth general election took place in five phases during April 16, 2009 and May 13, 2009, which witnessed 59.7 percent of the 714 million electorate voting. Coming 57 years after independent India voted to constitute its legislatures at both the levels, it indicated a number changes that voting behaviour has undergone in these years. The decline of the one-party dominant system brought about an era of coalition politics in national politics. State/Regional parties gained in prominence. This essay goes beyond looking at shifts and swings in voting behaviour in this election, contextualizing them in larger context of national politics as well as in the context of changes in the party system since independence. This seventh general election of a new era of Indian politics that has shaped in the past two decades, has witnessed a reassertion and strengthening of the Indian National Congress in particular and national parties in general, a plateauing of the state/regional parties, rise and stabilising of electoral volatility and strengthening of the larger national party in coalition politics despite cohabitation problems. The essay also contextualizes the elections and its results in the context of weakening of institutions in the country.

Making Australian citizenship mean more

description: After over 30 years of increasingly easy access, Australian citizenship is becoming harder to acquire. Permanent residents must now wait for four years before applying (instead of two), and the Government intends to introduce a formal citizenship test. This latter change is the subject of heated debate. The emotion surrounding this debate can be best understood as an instance of the clash of two competing views about what citizenship ought to mean: the procedural and the patriotic.
