Sebastian & Sons: A Brief History Of The Mrdangam Makers

By: T. M. Krishna

About the Book MUSICIAN AND ACTIVIST T.M. KRISHNA INVESTIGATES THE HISTORY OF THE MRDANGAM AND MEETS THE INVISIBLE KEEPERS OF A TRADITION: THE MRDANGAM MAKERS. The mrdangam is an integral part of the Karnatik stage, its primary percussion instrument. Yet—startling as this is—the instrument as we know it is only a century old. T.M. Krishna investigates the history of the mrdangam and meets the invisible keepers of a tradition: the mrdangam makers. The making process is an intellectually, aesthetically and physically taxing one. From acquiring the skins for the circular membranes and straps to the wood for the drum, from curing the material to the final construction, and at the end of it all, making sure that it has the tone that the mrdangam player wants, mrdangam-making is also a highly nuanced operation at every stage. While several artists have been credited with the evolution of the instrument, including the stalwart Palghat Mani Iyer, none of them had knowledge of a fundamental aspect of the making: hide. The quality of the hide and how it is cured, cut, stretched, bound and braided impacts the tone, timbre and sound of the instrument. This requires a highly tuned ear and an ability to translate abstract ideas expressed by musicians into the corporeal reality of a mrdangam. Yet, their contribution to the art of the mrdangam is dismissed as labour and repair—when it is spoken of at all. There are legendary mrdangam players, yes; there are also distinguished mrdangam makers, many of them from Dalit Christian communities, who remain on the fringes of the Karnatik community. Sebastian and Sons explores the world of these artists, their history, lore and lived experience to arrive at a more organic and holistic understanding of the music that the mrdangam makes.

Entrepreneurship and Industry 4.0

Balancing Entrepreneurial Exploration and Exploitation

By: Krishna Raj Bhandari

Industry 4.0 (i4.0) can unleash new business models or develop essential insights for a better decision-making process. It includes technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), AI, cloud computing, machine learning, robotics, 5G, and Big Data Analytics (BDA). The imperative of i4.0 can enhance value creation and value capture at the same time with unmatched efficiency. This book explores how entrepreneurs can balance entrepreneurial exploration and exploitation in i4.0. The analytics world is moving beyond the descriptive to predictive, and in the future, it will be more prescriptive enabled by AI, machine learning, expert systems, and 5G. Thus, the future of entrepreneurial exploration and exploitation depends on how information is used to develop insights and to make intelligent, smart, and fact-based decisions to take actions that may have real-time correction mechanisms. As such, i4.0 has implications for students, managers, researchers, policymakers, and politicians alike. This book is a must-read for all.

Brazil

Boom, Bust, and the Road to Recovery

By: Mr.Antonio Spilimbergo,Mr.Krishna Srinivasan

Brazil is at crossroads, emerging slowly from a historic recession that was preceded by a huge economic boom. Reasons for the historic bust following a boom are manifold. Policy mistakes were an important contributory factor, and included the pursuit of countercyclical policies, introduced to deal with the effects of the global financial crisis, beyond the point where they were helpful. More fundamentally, it reflects longstanding structural weaknesses plaguing the economy, that also help explain Brazil’s uninspiring growth performance over the past four decades.

By: KRISHNA NATH PANDEY , CHHAYA YADAV

The Tiara of Knowledge Mangement This book provides an overview of the authors’ thoughts and perspective on Human Capital . Human Capital may be defined as the sum total of attitude and skills required for accomplishing a task that comes into existence because of education , exposure and experience . The Human Capital is part of Intellectual which is the most important part of the three components of Intellectual Capital and the rest two are known as Structural or Organizational and Social Capital . The management of Human Capital is dependent on , and; is an integral part of the Knowledge Management coupled with emerging field of Wisdom Management . This book is an endeavor to trace the interrelatedness of the Human Capital as a part of Knowledge Management (KM ) as depicted in Rigveda ( ‘Ved’ means Knowledge ) and is in consonance with the latest trend of KM as on date . Though the Indian i.e. oriental thought , as envisaged in Rigveda has delineated the KM under Shruti Tradition depicting the mantra of KM which is described in 1.81.1 . In a way, knowledge was recorded during C. 1500-1200 BCE which is known as Rigveda ; but the same was relegated to the oblivion till Ralph T.H. Griffith translated Rigveda into English in 1912 subsequent to its earlier translation into German in 1845 by Max Muller . The usefulness of this ancient KM into the modern KM as propounded by IT Companies in 1996 onwards led by the successful implementation of KM in Microsoft, and it started ; a chain of KM as an effective tool for optimization for C – Suite executives in corporate world across the globe. This new form of KM has been implemented by almost all the modern organizations .This book is an attempt to pinpoint the ways , tools , drivers ,in addition to ; the skills required by the managers in implementing KM in an organization in 21st Century besides underlining the prominence of Human Capital as an eternal source for remaining at the pinnacle .

Practical Social Network Analysis with Python

By: Krishna Raj P.M.,Ankith Mohan,K.G. Srinivasa

This book focuses on social network analysis from a computational perspective, introducing readers to the fundamental aspects of network theory by discussing the various metrics used to measure the social network. It covers different forms of graphs and their analysis using techniques like filtering, clustering and rule mining, as well as important theories like small world phenomenon. It also presents methods for identifying influential nodes in the network and information dissemination models. Further, it uses examples to explain the tools for visualising large-scale networks, and explores emerging topics like big data and deep learning in the context of social network analysis. With the Internet becoming part of our everyday lives, social networking tools are used as the primary means of communication. And as the volume and speed of such data is increasing rapidly, there is a need to apply computational techniques to interpret and understand it. Moreover, relationships in molecular structures, co-authors in scientific journals, and developers in a software community can also be understood better by visualising them as networks. This book brings together the theory and practice of social network analysis and includes mathematical concepts, computational techniques and examples from the real world to offer readers an overview of this domain.

Doing Feminisms in the Academy

Identity, Institutional Pedagogy and Critical Classrooms in India and the UK

By: Fiona Mackay,Krishna Menon,Radhika Govinda,Rukmini Sen, (eds.)

This collection of essays brings together auto-ethnographic, critical and comparative reflections on doing feminisms in the academy in contemporary India and the UK. Written by emergent and seasoned academics from a range of disciplinary, social and (geo)political locations, these essays explore the transformative potential, dilemmas and challenges of teaching, learning, researching and working as feminist academics. By engaging with questions of identity and difference, institutional and classroom pedagogies, reflexivity and accountability, and the production and circulation of feminist and non-feminist knowledge, the essays in this collection also provide the frame and the lens through which to view the wider landscape of contemporary higher education. Anchored in feminist scholarship and written in an accessible style, the collection will be useful to those interested in feminist, women’s and gender studies, and more broadly those keen to pursue equality in higher education and decentring of knowledge production globally.

Modern Indian English Novel

A Critical Study of the Political Motif

By: Manmohan Krishna Bhatnagar

The Study Is A Painstaking Probe Into The Unfolding Of A Hitherto Ignored Thematic And Stylistic Dimension Of Modern Indian English Fiction. Beginning With An In-Depth Analysis Of The Political Underpinnings In The Early Phase, The Study Moves To A Scholarly Critique Of The Same In The Post-Independence Context.

The Crippling Nature Of The Popular Creed Has Been Isolated As The Cause Of The Personal As Well As The Political Tragedy. The Critique Discovers In Gandhism A Liberating Panacea Which Later Got Ossified Into A Myth. The Differing Perceptions In Novels Of The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Forms Part Of The Next Stage Of The Scholarly Argument. Last But Not The Least, The Book Examines The Artistic Modes Of Projection Of The Political Motif.A Refreshing Insight Into Indian English Fiction, Indian Socio-Political Psyche, The Sociology Of Faith As Well As The Artistic Amalgam Of Aesthetics And Ideology In Indian Literature.An Invaluable Source Book For Researchers, Teachers And Students Of Literature, Politics, Sociology And Philosophy.

Summit Your Everest

By: Krishna Sagar

Everyone in this world would have experienced obstacles and some,even failure. Apparently, we all acknowledge that success is very intricately linked with obstacles & failure. We are very much aware of many legendary factoids of men and women, who after facing overwhelming obstacles and even dismal failure have attained historic success and resurrected themselves. Yet, everyday millions of men and women across the world do feel depressed at even smallest obstacles. Many Quit their long nurtured dreams, give up goals, destroy relationships, yield to situations, hurt others, hurt themselves, abandon positivity and some, even choose death as an extreme measure, in their attempt to avoid an obstacle or a failure. Effective Obstacle & Failure management is the most sought after capability for any individual to succeed in the current times either in an organizational, family or a community setting. I write this book with immense respect, admiration and fascination I personally have towards all those men and women, who despite all odds and adversity continue to set higher standards for themselves and others. They live with empowering values and beliefs, set grand goals, act with focus to accomplish results, which add value to themselves and others. I do believe with all humility that I belong to this fraternity. I write with my inherent analytical capability to break down complex processes into simple, understandable and applicable methods. I remember my mother telling very early in my life, that 'You learn more from failures than from success' and I have figured very early that success most of the time is the outcome of the past learning from failure. As you read this book from first chapter to the last,you will experience the depth I traveled to bring out the most effective solutions for Obstacle & Failure management for you. This book is the result of two decades of my experiential learning and about fouryears of focused research in this area. I urgeyou to read this entire book and see if there is any obstacle & failure,you cannot manage, ever.

Active Social Capital

Tracing the Roots of Development and Democracy

By: Anirudh Krishna

The idea of social capital allows scholars to assess the quality of relationships among people within a particular community and show how that quality affects the ability to achieve shared goals. With evidence collected from sixty-nine villages in India, Krishna investigates what social capital is, how it operates in practice, and what results it can be expected to produce. Does social capital provide a viable means for advancing economic development, promoting ethnic peace, and strengthening democratic governance? The world is richer than ever before, but more than a fifth of its people are poor and miserable. Civil wars and ethnic strife continue to mar prospects for peace. Democracy is in place in most countries, but large numbers of citizens do not benefit from it. How can development, peace and democracy become more fruitful for the ordinary citizen? This book shows how social capital is a crucial dimension of any solution to these problems.

Making Policy for the New Information Economy

Comparing China and India

By: Krishna Prasad Jayakar,Chun Liu

This volume is a theoretically informed comparative analysis of the telecommunications and information policy-making process in two major developing economies, China and India. With a focus on how policies are made rather than what those policies are, the book investigates how policy actors interact within institutional structures to define policy problems and identify potential solutions. The authors explain the evolution of these policy-making systems as the two countries liberalized their economies and opened their media and telecommunications systems to competition over the past two-and-a-half decades. With applications in numerous international contexts, this book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in public policy studies, telecommunications, business, development economics, political science, Asian studies, and public administration.

Reducing Global Poverty

By: Barry B. Hughes,Mohammod T. Irfan,Haider Khan,Krishna B. Kumar,Dale S. Rothman,Jose Roberto Solorzano

This is the first volume in an ambitious new series-"Patterns of Potential Human Progress"-inspired by the UN Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) and other initiatives to improve the global condition. The first and most fundamental of these goals-reducing poverty worldwide-is the focus of this book. Using the large-scale computer program called International Futures (IFs) developed over three decades at the prestigious University of Denver Graduate School of International Studies, this book explores the most extensive set of forecasts of global poverty ever made-providing a wide range of scenarios based on an authoritative array of data. It transcends the "$1 a day" baseline measure of poverty and probes important concepts like income poverty gaps and relative poverty. The forecasts are long-term, looking 50 years into the future, far beyond the 2015 date set out by the MDGs. They are geographically rich, spanning the entire globe and drilling down to the country level, including one of the most important global focal points, India. The poverty forecasts in this book, and all the volumes in the series, are fully integrated in perspective across a wide range of human development arenas including demographics, economics, politics, agriculture, energy, and the environment. Full of colorful, thoughtfully designed graphs, tables, maps, and other visual presentations of data and forecasts, this large-format inaugural volume ensures that the "Patterns of Potential Human Progress" series will become an indispensable resource for every development professional, student, professor, library, and indeed, country around the world.

Agroecosystems of South India

Nutrient Dynamics, Ecology and Productivity

By: K. R. Krishna

Agroecosystems of South India is a unique treatise that deals with the relevance of natural resources, genetic stocks, fertilizers, and agronomic practices on the productivity of agroecoregions. Within the context of this book, an agroecosystem has been defined as a conglomerate of small cropping zones, which may be mono-cropping expanses or intercrops that occur in various geographic regions of South India. South India abounds with several such agroecosystems that encompass field crops, vegetables, cash crops, plantations, and forest species. However, the main emphasis within this volume is restricted to agroecosystems that include major cereals, legumes, and oil seed crops. There are 10 chapters in this volume. The first, on historical aspects, traces important events related to domestication, introduction of crop species, agricultural implements, development of soil fertility and crop husbandry procedures. An introductory chapter on Agroecosystems delineates various agroecoregions of South India. Their classification based on physiography, soils, and climatic parameters have been dealt with in great detail. Descriptions on natural resources such as soils and their fertility conditions; water resources; climatic conditions including precipitation patterns; and crops and their genotypes are available in chapter 2. The impact of soil fertility and nutrient dynamics on ecosystematic functions and productivity of crops in an agroecosystem forms the central piece of discussions within chapters 3 to 9. Historical background, geographical settings, agroclimate, soils, cropping systems, and productivity trends have been provided for each cropping ecosystem. Recent advances and details on aspects of nutrient dynamics, such as soil nutrients, their availability, physico-chemical transformations, nutrient fluxes, inorganic fertilizer supply, organic manures, crop residue recycling, nutrient carry over and nutrient balances/imbalances form the core of each chapter. The impact of beneficial soil microbes such as Rhizobium, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Arbuscular Mycorrhizas, on nutrient dynamics in soil has also been discussed. More recent developments dealing with modeling nutrients in cropping ecosystems, computer based-simulations, precision farming and site-specific nutrient management have been emphasized. Forecasts on the impact of nutrient dynamics on the future course of agroecosystems are also available. Overall, this book is a scholarly edition that aims at providing an excellent exposition of recent developments within various agroecosystems of South India to a global audience. It highlights the importance of soil fertility and nutrient dynamics within agroecosystems to total food grain and fodder production in South India. It will be a useful book to researchers, professors, and students dealing with agriculture, environmental science, ecology, and plant science.

As helicopter pilots in the Indian Air Force, we always glimpsed the world through a rotor disc! For many of us who flew before and after the 1971 war, our world view was shaped by our experiences and the training we imbibed. “Through the Rotor Disc” hopes to chronicle the journey of a few helicopter pilots and ground crew in Air Force Station Kumbhirgram in creating history as we helped change the course of the Bangladesh war in 1971. The book is a retelling of our experiences in and out of uniform, hundreds of places we landed and the valiant soldiers and civilians we ferried. We flew the helicopters and landed in every nook and corner of the country. Then we realised that… Pilots do not steer helicopters, destiny does…

The Agricultural Sky

A Concept to Revolutionize Farming

By: K. R. Krishna

The agricultural sky" is a dominant natural entity that has influenced, interacted with, and guided the evolution of crops, farming practices, and cropping systems. The sky—and all its components—above and near agricultural areas is an important aspect of an agricultural enterprise—as important as soils, water, and crop species. The blue sky above crops that is seemingly clear, tranquil or sometimes filled with clouds, is really a repository of a large number of gases, mineral or organic particulate matter, dust, mist, turbulent wind, innumerable species of micro-organisms, tiny biotic flora/fauna, seeds, insects, etc. The agrarian sky supports complex interactions of biotic and abiotic aspects with perhaps immediate and/or delayed influence on crops sown on the ground. This volume helps us to better understand the importance of the sky above crop fields, with the goal to encourage revolutionary agronomic procedures that lead to higher yield. It is a comprehensive treatise on the agriculture sky, covering basic definitions, limits, and explanations about atmospheric layers like troposphere, stratosphere, and the phyllosphere. The volume addresses the nutrient dynamics in the sky and their relevance to crop productivity. It looks at both natural biotic and manmade abiotic factors in the sky and how they affect what goes on below, such as from dust storms, at cloudy and/or windy locations, and from high-altitude jet streams. The author discusses wind and solar power generation in the agrarian sky and explores aeroponics to revolutionize crop production. The volume delves into several types of aerial robots, employing AI and other technology, to provide aerial spectral data that are capable of analyzing procedures, soil conditions, irrigation, insect pests, weed detection, herbicide application, soil fertility, and much more. The book includes examples from the North American Great Plains, Pampas of Argentina, Sahelian production zones of West Africa, Indo-Gangetic Plains, etc. This eye-opening book, The Agricultural Sky: A Concept to Revolutionize Farming, will be useful to students and professors in universities as well as to researchers in industry dealing with aerial aspects of farming.

Proceedings of The International Conference on Inter Disciplinary Research in Engineering and Technology 2015

ICIDRET 2015

By: Kokula Krishna Hari Kunasekaran,Vignesh R

Welcome to the International Conference on Inter Disciplinary Research in Engineering and Technology (ICIDRET) 2015 in DSIIDC, Government of NCT, New Delhi, India, Asia on 29 – 30 April, 2015. If this is your first time to New Delhi, you need to look on more objects which you could never forget in your lifetime. There is much to see and experience at The National Capital of Republic of India. The concept of Inter Disciplinary research was a topic of focus by various departments across the Engineering and Technology area. Flushing with major areas, this ICIDRET ’15 has addressed the E&T areas like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Bio-Technology, Bio-Engineering, Bio-Medical, Computer Science, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Management and Textile Engineering. This focus has brought a new insight on the learning methodologies and the terminology of accepting the cross definition of engineering and the research into it. We invite you to join us in this inspiring conversation. I am pretty sure that this conference would indulge the information from the various parts of the world and could coin as a global research gathering. With more and more researchers coming into ICIDRET, this event would be as an annual event. This conference is sure that, this edition and the future edition will serve as a wise platform for the people to come with better research methodologies integrating each and every social component globally. If there would have been a thought of not integrating the RJ45 and few pieces of metal / plastic along with a PCB, today we could haven’t used the telephones and mobile phones. With an ear-mark inspiration and constant support from the Global President Dr. S. Prithiv Rajan, ASDF International President Dr. P. Anbuoli, this publication stands in front of your eyes, without them this would haven’t been possible in a very shortest span. Finally, I thank my family, friends, students and colleagues for their constant encouragement and support for making this type of conference. -- Kokula Krishna Hari K Editor-in-Chief www.kokulakrishnaharik.in
