In the observational study of social systems, the major conceptual innovation of the last century was General Systems Theory. Yet the General Systems Theory conceptions of interacting social systems were doomed to remain at the prescientific level of metaphor until a set of statistical techniques were developed and applied.
Challenging the more conventional approaches to dislocation and resettlement that are the usual focus of discussion on the topic, this book offers a unique theory of dislocation in the form of primitive accumulation. Interrogating the ‘reformist-managerial’ and ‘radical-movementist’ approaches, it historicizes and politicizes the event of dislocation as a moment to usher in capitalism through the medium of development. Such a framework offers alternative avenues to rethinking dislocation and resettlement, and indeed the very idea of development. Arguing that dislocation should not be seen as a necessary step towards achieving progress - as it is claimed in the development discourse - the authors show that dislocation emerges as a socio-political constituent of constructing capitalism. This book will be of interest to academics working on Development Studies, especially on issues relating to the political economy of development and globalization.
This book is a comprehensive reference bringing gynaecologists and trainees up to date with the latest advances in their field. Divided into eight sections, the text begins with discussion on history taking and investigations. The following chapters provide a selection of clinical case studies detailing the diagnosis and management of different gynaecological disorders. Some cases are presented in question and answer format to assist understanding. The remaining sections of the book cover reproductive physiology, birth control, surgical instruments, specimens, and imaging. The chapters on instruments give particular focus to endoscopic surgery. The text concludes with research questions for students. Topics in the book correspond with those in practical and oral examinations and the text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams, radiological images and tables. Key points Comprehensive guide providing latest advances in diagnosis and management of gynaecological disorders Features clinical case studies, some presented in question and answer format for ease of understanding Includes research questions for students Highly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, radiological images and tables
Graphite commonly called as plumbago is a soft, black crystalline form of naturally occurring carbon. Natural graphite is often found with carbonates and other carbon compounds and could be the result of their decomposition under conditions of high pressure and high temperature. Perfect crystals of graphite are very rare indeed and the imperfections and grain boundaries present in the materials are important in determining the properties of material. Impurities and absorbed gases also play an important role. Carbon materials are basically porous, having pores and cracks, sizes varying from angstrom units to several millimetre. The cracks often run along the lamellae of the carbon plane. India has a rich deposit of graphite. The total reserves of graphite in India is about 48 lakh tonnes. Properties of graphite varies from source to source depending on the mineral content, degree of graphitisation, crystal size, nature of crack and pores, specific surface areas, etc. Bulk of the graphite consumption is from the refractory Industry and major graphite suppliers in India are located in three states of India, i.e. Orissa, Jharkhand and Tamilnadu. Refractory industry uses graphite in purer form as higher ash percentage and lower degree of graphitisation deteriorates the refractory property. In presence of oxidising atmosphere, graphite oxidises very fast and deteriorates the brick property. Better the oxidation resistance of graphite better is the usefulness. The findings is expected to give an insight into the physico-chemical characteristics of Indian graphite which will ultimately lead to their best possible industrial and technological application.
Taking the period following the advent of liberalization, this book explains the transition of the Indian economy against the backdrop of development. If the objective is to explore the new economic map of India, then the distinct contributions in the book could be seen as twofold. The first is the analytical frame whereby the authors deploy a unique Marxist approach consisting of the initial concepts of class process and the developing countries to address India's economic transition. The second contribution is substantive whereby the authors describe India's economic transition as epochal, materializing out of the new emergent triad of neo-liberal globalization, global capitalism and inclusive development. This is how the book theorizes the structural transformation of the Indian economy in the twenty-first century. Through this framework, it interrogates and critiques the given debates, ideas and policies about the economic development of a developing nation.
The present book is a collection of writeups contributed by various eminent artists and art critics on different kinds of art tetechniques. This book was first published in the year 1826.
This book brings together Marxian philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis to argue that the hegemonic form of global capital is founded on the foreclosure of class and world of the third. The authors counterpose the world of the third to the mainstream notion of the third world, seen as a lacking other in desperate need of aid and development. Thus, for them, the hegemonic form of global capital is engendered through the foregrounding of the poor, victim third world and the foreclosure of the non-capitalist world of the third. Building on what they characterize as an ab-original reading of Marxian historical materialism and the Lacanian real, the authors seek to conceptualize a counter-hegemonic revolutionary subject as a basis for postcapitalist alternatives to the hegemonic form of global capital.
