The world economy was still reeling from the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 when the COVID-19 pandemic struck like a bolt of lightning in late 2019. Whatever remained of the neoliberal credo - based on the salience of free markets - was upended, and economic nationalism fast became the new stock ideology. In Negotiating the New Normal, Saurav Jha carefully examines why, in the wake of the coronavirus shock, strong economic recovery in the developed world is more doubtful than ever. Instead of throwing its weight behind a multipolar world order, China, by far the largest economy among the BRICS nations, has chosen to create a Pax Sinica. However, it is unlikely to make much headway owing to both internal economic contradictions and pushback from the West and beyond. And what of India? Can it become a 'new China' to serve as a key engine of global growth, overcoming the pandemic-induced setback, as well as earlier policy missteps like demonetization? Answering all these questions and raising many more, Jha's deeply researched and cogently argued account examines the 'new normal' of a transactional, even predatory geoeconomic climate where central banks are fast running out of answers and heavily indebted governments are desperately searching for silver bullets. This work of extraordinary depth and ambition, tracing the destinies of the major economic centres of the world, provides a nuanced if sobering context to the reader as it suggests what India must do to rise in this grave new pandemic-ridden world.
In an Era characterized by the pervasive influence of digital technology in every facet of our lives, the book “Human cognition: In the Digital Era” emerges as a critical exploration of the intricate relationship between Human Cognitive processes and the Digital landscape that envelops us. The aim of the book is to provide essential insights for navigating our digital future, fostering an understanding of how cognitive faculties adapt and evolve. Organized into six sections, the book delves into key topics. Section I: Digital Detox and Cognitive Rejuvenation examines the importance of disconnecting from devices to restore mental health. Section II: Digital Exposure and Learning focuses on how screen exposure affects cognitive development, especially in children, and the cognitive challenges posed by online learning post-COVID. Section III: Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Adaptation investigates AI’s influence on decision-making, cognitive diversity, and errors in cybercrime. Section IV: Digital Interactions and Relationships explores online identity, parasocial relationships, and their impact on social cognition. Section V: Digital Marketing and Cognitive Automation analyzes the cognitive mechanisms behind consumer behavior in the digital economy. Section VI: Diverse Perspectives on Digital Engagement and Cognition highlights digital mental health interventions and smartphone usage effects on mindfulness in adolescents. This book is designed for academician, researchers, policy makers, students, and anyone interested in the profound ways digital technology is shaping human thought and behavior. This book’s unique contribution lies in its ability to foster a deeper comprehension of the transformative power of the digital era on human cognition
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Biology - Zoology, grade: 3.87, , course: Bachelor of Science in Fisheries, language: English, abstract: In this study, intensive common carp (Cyprinus carpio) culture was conducted from 2nd October to 28th October in experimental cemented tank of 25 m2 of Fish hatchery complex, AFU to learn to produce common carp through intensive culture. Intensive culture is a system where fish are culture in a well-managed manner and this system includes small ponds, tanks, and raceways with very high stocking density. In this system, fish is almost completely fed on formulated feed and good management is undertaken for controlling all aspects which require proper growth. Production of common carp is increasing so, intensification of its production from extensive to semi-intensive and intensive aquaculture systems is a new trend. The stocking density was 250 fish at the rate of 10 fish/m2. Average body weight of 27.9±9.8 g fish were stocked in the tank and feeding was done at 3% of body weight. Feed was made from mustard oil cake (70%) and rice bran (30%), a feeding tray having an area of 50x50 cm2 was used for feeding. Sampling was performed at a ten days interval and feeding was adjusted accordingly. The average temperature, DO and pH of the culture tank of 5:30 am and 3pm was 28.7±0.9 and 30.2±1.2°C, 7.1±1.3 and 12.4±1.6 mg/L, 7.7 and 7.8 respectively which were within the suitable range for culturing. After harvesting, the total harvested weight of fish was 12.9 kg while total stocking weight was 7.4 kg. Mean harvest weight of fish was 54.4±28.6 g while mean stocking weight was 27.9±9.8 g. The survival rate of fish was 97.6%. The extrapolated GFY and NFY obtained was 72.6 and 30.8 t/ha/year respectively. The fish were handed over to Aquaculture farm, AFU which they will rear further in tanks and ponds. During culturing water was exchanged daily in the morning for maintaining proper water quality. Thus, the results suggested that common carp intensive farming is feasible in cemented tanks with good survival rate.
