Migrants and Their Money chronicles the financial practices of low-paid migrant men and women living and working in London, within the context of the recent financial meltdown. Drawing on the fascinating stories and experiences of these migrants, Kavita Datta illuminates the ways--both formal and informal--they negotiate the complex financial landscape they encounter in one of the world's economic capitals.
This book explores the linkages between formal and informal housing finance drawing upon the lessons of NGO and micro-finance practices. Both public and private formal finance institutions have experienced great difficulty in lending below a middle-income client group, and are often reluctant to lend for the purpose of housing at all. This failure of formal finance to filter down to low-income households, and in particular to women, has led various NGOs and community groups to create and adopt innovative finance programmes, such as informal savings banks and credit rotating schemes. The authors critically assess the impact of theses schemes, and evaluate links between gender, housing and finance.
This textbook comprehensively covers on-chip interconnect dimension and application of carbon nanomaterials for modeling VLSI interconnect and buffer circuits. It provides analysis of ultra-low power high speed nano-interconnects based on different facets such as material modeling, circuit modeling and the adoption of repeater insertion strategies and measurement techniques. It covers important topics including on-chip interconnects, interconnect modeling, electrical impedance modeling of on-chip interconnects, modeling of repeater buffer and variability analysis. Pedagogical features including solved problems and unsolved exercises are interspersed throughout the text for better understanding. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering for courses on Advanced VLSI Interconnects/Advanced VLSI Design/VLSI Interconnects/VLSI Design Automation and Techniques, this book: Provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental concepts related to nanotube transistors and interconnects. Discusses properties and performance of practical nanotube devices and related applications. Covers physical and electrical phenomena of carbon nanotubes, as well as applications enabled by this nanotechnology. Discusses the structure, properties, and characteristics of graphene-based on-chip interconnect. Examines interconnect power and interconnect delay issues arising due to downscaling of device size.
Violent Belongings examines transnational South Asian culture from 1947 onwards in order to offer a new, historical account of how gender and ethnicity came to determine who belonged, and how, in the postcolonial Indian nation.
The Illustrative Environmental Studies series comprises five books (Classes 1-5), designed to align seamlessly with the Curricular Goals and Competencies of the latest National Curriculum Framework 2023 (NCF) and in full compliance with National Education Policy 2020 (NEP). Each chapter has been meticulously crafted to conform with the NCF's Panchpadi, ensuring a comprehensive and cuttingedge learning experience. The concept based, age-appropriate Assessment section is based on Panchakoshas and Pramanas, aiming for the holistic development of the students. To improve the learning experience, we have seamlessly incorporated 21st Century Skills, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this series. This learner-centered approach emphasises significantly on cultivating a wide range of skills, and nurturing an understanding of fundamental concepts, processes and natural phenomena, while also stimulating critical thinking and curiosity in scientific concepts. This series: • follows a thematic approach to the concepts. • presents the age-appropriate content in a clear, concise and logical manner. • introduces each chapter with an engaging and interactive Starter section to recall the previous knowledge related to the chapter. • contains vibrant colourful illustrations and pictures to captivate students' interest and enhance concept clarity. • provides topics and sub-topics accompanied by in-text activities (both recall-based and hands-on experiments) that encourage experiential learning and inquisitive approach. • features well-crafted questions that target various Cognitive Levels and 21st Century Skills in alignment with NEP 2020 and NCF 2023. • integrates Life Skills that enhance students' overall development. • promotes Environmental Awareness among students, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). • complements the Teacher's Resource Book comprising overview of the lessons, Lesson plan to achieve the learning objectives and answer key for the textbook questions. • offers Online Resources that include animated videos/video lectures, interactive exercises and worksheets. We are sure that Illustrative Environmental Studies series will make learning science fascinating, effective and engaging for the students. We are looking forward to your valuable suggestions. -Authors
Human trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of forced labor, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. This may encompass providing a spouse in the context of forced marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and ovaryremoval. Human trafficking can occur within a country or trans-nationally. Human trafficking is a crime against the person because of the violation of the victim's rights of movement through coercion and because of the commercial exploitation. Human trafficking is the trade in people, especially women and children, and does not necessarily involve the movement of the person from one place to another.
