Tales of Development: Paths Nations Treaded

By: Alka Parikh

Have you ever wondered how some nations are so developed? What did they do to reach there? This book is an easy, story like narration of development paths followed by 11 successful nations of the world. It throws light on the crucial factors that enabled them to reach these heights. The book shows how Japan, South Korea and Singapore picked up the pieces after devastating wars and grew to be formidable economic powers. It talks about the journeys of China and Russia (erstwhile USSR) after selecting a completely different econo-political philosophy of communism. It shows how the Baltic Nations smoothly steered their way into prosperity after the disintegration of USSR. There is a story on Oman, an underdeveloped and politically disturbed nation transforming into a fully developed, peaceful nation in the middle of the war torn Gulf region. Israel, the nation made mainly by refugees, managed to reach levels of living that are envy of most developing nations. Kenya is included as a role model for African nations. Brazil tells the story of South American nations where volatility is the rule. Australia developed fast in spite of being far away and cut-off from the rest of the world. Rarely a book gives insights into development histories of so many nations in one place. This book is relevant for development economists, international managers, avid world trotters and any curious reader wanting to peep into the field of development.

Risks in Agriculture

Farmers' Perspective

By: Alka Parikh

This book examines the risks involved in agriculture from the farmer’s perspective. It investigates the issues that concern farmers the most like why farmers are not increasing the acreage allotted to pulses despite major increases in the price. Primarily based on focused group discussions (FGDs) and individual interviews, it also analyzes the productivity levels for 18 crops using data from eleven districts in several Indian states. The main risks that farmers face can be divided into two categories—production risks and price risks – and fluctuations in either one can lead to uncertainty in terms of revenues, and at times to considerable losses. The book demonstrates that agricultural productivity, especially in India’s semi-arid tropics, leaves much to be desired when compared with other nations. It offers a unique and valuable resource, not only for agriculture economics researchers and all those interested in agriculture, but also anyone seeking to understand current trends in acreage for various crops, fluctuating production levels for different crops, price fluctuations, and farmers’ views on allotting acreage and crop insurance.

Beyond Contours

Short Stories

By: Alka Singh

As much as we’d like to believe that we own our lives, it is life that owns us. Life, it walks into the human heart, entangles and propels it to travel unknown paths, and carves a story for each individual – a story that is sometimes forgotten, a story that is silently lived, or a story that may remain buried in the deep corners of our hearts forever like a stabbing truth. ‘Beyond Contours’ comprises real-life stories built around relationships that grow in an amoebic manner, beyond perceived premises; the unrecognized, unstructured and misunderstood relationships that sometimes become more of our lives than the one we choose for ourselves. ‘Beyond Contours’ aims to be a companion for anyone seeking to unravel life through the prism of relationships. The stories will linger on long after you’ve read them. You may find parts of yourself in the stories, and wonder about the only thing inevitable in life, the uncertainty and unpredictability of it.

Atlas of Sonography of Parathyroid

By: Alka Ashmita Singhal

This comprehensive atlas covers various common and uncommon cases of parathyroid disorders encountered in the day to day radiological practice. It serves as an illustrative database with numerous state of the art images of the diverse imaging features of parathyroid nodules and their correlation with various other imaging modalities. The book includes videos as well. It covers the typical and atypical ultrasound features of parathyroid nodules, their color Doppler findings and Sestamibi correlation. Size of the nodules detected range from small sub-centimeter nodules measuring between 6-15 mm, where often the sestamibi scan is negative, and diagnostic ultrasound scan is quite vital in management of these cases. The larger nodules range in size to be even larger than the thyroid gland and completely compressing and displacing the thyroid gland, which often leads to a missed diagnosis on initial imaging. Chapters cover tips and tricks in scanning along with various pitfalls. Additionally, it covers parathyroid nodules diagnosed on ultrasound in Sestamibi negative cases, localization of additional parathyroid nodules and parathyroid carcinoma. It covers correlation with surgical findings and includes histopathology images where relevant. The book serves as a teaching tool for radiologists, ENT surgeons, head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, endocrinologists, nephrologists, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists involved in the management of parathyroid disorders.

A Tool for Software Product and Process Improvement

By: Raymond Kehoe,Alka Jarvis

Purpose The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with an understanding of the ISO 9000-3 guideline and how it applies to the specification, development, test, and maintenance of software. We will show that the basic practices and procedures that define software engineering and the ISO guideline are, for all intents and purposes, one and the same. We hope that the readers of this book will use the information found within not only to pass the certification audit but as a tool to be used to create the well-managed engineering environment needed to create reliable, well engineered products in a consistent manner. Audience This book is intended for senior software engineers, software managers, and non software managers within software organizations whose aim is to create an engi neering environment within their company or organization. In addition, individ uals outside the software organization who have responsibility for the specification of the software product and preparing their organization to take ownership of the developed product will find this book of great interest. Finally, those who must choose software companies to do business with or audit software companies to determine their ability to engineer and maintain a software product will find this book helpful. 2 Introduction Overview This book is made up of twenty-four chapters that can be grouped into four sections. Chapter 1 through Chapter 4 set the basis for the following chapters that deal directly with the guideline.
