An Analysis on Water Management System in India and Its Repercussions on the Availability

India is the largest growing population where water is emerging as a problem , there is water crisis in the country , with lack of professional people to management water resource, treat waste water and water conservation which has prevailed in India since Indus valley civilization has lost its importance over the years .90% of the water is sued for agriculture , people are facing shortage of drinking water , 70% of the polluted water which is been drunk by millions of people are resulting in the death of lacs of people . Today individual states have taken up the initiative to preserve water through adopting traditional method or the use of green technology .Modern cities are facing scarcity of water , they are dependent on water tanks , the groundwater is over in many cities . On the other hand India is the largest exporter of water in particular to China , India needs to increase its export taxes to increase the revenue , it should adopt new technologies and save water , build more plants and forest across the country to recharge groundwater and make India a water secured country.

The Concept of Positive Law and Its Relationship to Religion and Morality

Can the concept of law be extended to other times and places in which the concept as understood in most countries and societies today—as a system of norms centred on a nation state, based on a constitution, formulated through codified legislation and judicial precedents, administered by lawmakers for its inception and judges for its implementation—simply did not exist? My contention is that such an extension is, at best, useless and, at worst, misleading. Producing an intelligible jurisprudence of the concept of law means keeping it within the reasonable boundaries of what is ordinarily understood by both lay and professional people when practising ‘the’ law. Developing a socio-historical jurisprudence of law, as distinct from other normativities, entails a threefold analysis: conceptual, historical, and praxiological. Following the ground broken by analytical philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, conceptual analysis engages in the exposition of the grammar through which concepts acquire their signification and are meaningfully used. In a manner inspired by philosopher of science Ian Hacking and by historian Reinhart Koselleck, historical analysis emphasizes the description of the birth, development, and use of concepts. Drawing on the work of sociologist Harold Garfinkel, praxiological analysis describes the practical methods used by people to make sense of their environment, to produce their local order, and to act accordingly. The three approaches converge in their insistence on adopting the endogenous/indigenous perspective towards social life and its production.

Libraries for the studious, professional, and wealthy

Describes in more detail the kinds of libraries typically formed by academic or professional people, or by members of the gentry and aristocracy; these constitute about 90 per cent of the evidence base of documented book owners of the seventeenth century. Trends in size over time, and in the kinds of books typically found in these kinds of libraries, are explored, based on a number of case studies. The wider European context is considered. A broad spread of subjects is commonly found in seventeenth-century libraries of any size, with a gradual increase in the proportion of British-published material as time progresses. It is very common to find significant proportions of theological or devotional books, most obviously in clerical and academic libraries, but also (if in smaller proportions) in the houses of the landed classes.

EEG-Based Estimation on the Reduction of Negative Emotions for Illustrated Surgical Images

Electroencephalogram (EEG) biosignals are widely used to measure human emotional reactions. The recent progress of deep learning-based classification models has improved the accuracy of emotion recognition in EEG signals. We apply a deep learning-based emotion recognition model from EEG biosignals to prove that illustrated surgical images reduce the negative emotional reactions that the photographic surgical images generate. The strong negative emotional reactions caused by surgical images, which show the internal structure of the human body (including blood, flesh, muscle, fatty tissue, and bone) act as an obstacle in explaining the images to patients or communicating with the images with non-professional people. We claim that the negative emotional reactions generated by illustrated surgical images are less severe than those caused by raw surgical images. To demonstrate the difference in emotional reaction, we produce several illustrated surgical images from photographs and measure the emotional reactions they engender using EEG biosignals; a deep learning-based emotion recognition model is applied to extract emotional reactions. Through this experiment, we show that the negative emotional reactions associated with photographic surgical images are much higher than those caused by illustrated versions of identical images. We further execute a self-assessed user survey to prove that the emotions recognized from EEG signals effectively represent user-annotated emotions.

From Brain Drain to Brain Gain: The Battle Against Talent Drain

Building an enabling scientific community of educated or professional people is a growing focus for many American cities. The retention of home-grown graduates increases the intellectual capacity in a region. Arising from technology-driven accelerated growth, the geographical mobility of young skilled workers has become a key issue in recent studies, attracting the attention of both academics and policymakers. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence the retention or draining of graduates from a mid-sized higher education instruction’s Child and Youth Studies (CYS), an innovative transformational educational program. The program is focused on developing a socially entrepreneurial mindset on the part of the learner. The study is also aimed at identifying how urban areas in southwest Florida would work toward retaining a large pool of young innovative graduates and enjoy the benefits of smart growth. The data for the study was collected by sending out a survey to 115 current students or those who are about to graduate. The selected 50 (43.5%) participated in the study by completing the survey. The data was analyzed using several descriptive statistics. Several retention factors were identified. They included socio-economic and recreational factors. The research found that the majority of the graduates left not just because it was not easy to find competitive-paying jobs in the region but rather because of lack of awareness of the availability. Other significant factors included inadequate housing, lack of support for their entrepreneurial incubators, and poor public transport. It was also evident that a large number of potential local employers were not aware of the benefits of hiring the CYS graduates. Greater involvement of college students and recent graduates in the community projects would increase retention. It is proposed that each of the SW Florida cities should develop policies that will make them more attractive to the graduates. They should also identify ways of increasing awareness of opportunities available for the graduates in the region.

Understanding Gendered Perspective to Corruption: Evidence from Pakistan

This study focuses on the debate that whether women are as corrupt as men, or their propensity to corruption is less than their male counterparts on account of their soft gender? It also encompasses the dynamics of networking, with particular emphasis on sifarish (use of influence for undue benefits) and networking in gender perspective. Are women less corrupt than men? Do the sifarish and networking have gender biasness, how women become part of these networks and what role they play therein? These are the questions addressed in this study. An interpretive approach of qualitative research has been adopted keeping in view the subjective nature of networking and corruption. Semi-structured interviews from seventeen General / Senior Managers of public sector organizations were conducted to get their input on the research questions, middle management of public sector has been selected with a view that they have immediate exposure to corruption occurrences in the society. In addition to it, in depth review of the relevant available literature has been made. It has been concluded that apparent image of women being less susceptible to corruption is not related with their sex or gender, rather it is due to their less exposure to business and economic world which, even as of today, is dominated by men This study will add to the literature on role of gender in corruption, sifarish, networking and favoritism in the Pakistani context. This will also help management practitioners in working out their strategies in defining the role of women in the anti-corruption campaigns in business and political sectors. This study has acquired feedback from the middle management employees belonging to public sector organizations as they are directly related with formation and implementation of policies, which is also a sampling limitation. Future research should be carried out on diverse samples covering private organizations and non-professional people.

Neurologist, 27 years’ experience, South Africa

This chapter looks at the personal experience of a Neurologist in caring for people with Non-Epileptic Seizures (NES) and illustrates the profession’s shortcomings. Like every other patient who presents to a health care professional, people with NES want a clear diagnosis, with a detailed explanation of how and why they developed the condition, and a clear therapeutic plan. Although there are limits to the understanding of NES, that may also be said of all medical conditions. Since emotionally difficult, deeply personal experiences typically lie at the heart of their condition, people with NES need no less empathy and understanding than any other person with a medical condition. However, numerous patients have recounted stories about how they abandoned the medical profession for help with their seizures after their experience of seeing a neurologist. The amount of harm done by medical professionals in the way that they interact with people with NES has yet to be quantified.

Re-Organizing Specialized Agencies of the District-Lever People’s Committees and Downsizing the Cilil Servants

The article focuses on analyzing and arranging the organizational structure of specialized agencies of the district-level People's Committees to be streamlined, reasonable and meet the management requirements. At the same time, this is the basis for determining, arranging appropriate staffing and downsizing the civil servants: taking people who need to be downsized out of the public organization, supplementing qualified and professional people to work in the specialized agencies of the district-level People's Committees. In the state administrative reform practice since 2001, the number of specialized agencies under the district People's Committee has changed in the direction of reducing from 15 agencies to 12 agencies (including specific factors). However, the number of civil servants in the specialized agencies of district-level People's Committees has increased. Thereby, the author offers a number of solutions to reorganize specialized agencies of district-level People's Committees more streamlined and more reasonable and contribute to downsize the civil servants. Keywords: Reorganization, professional agencies, payroll streamlining, district-level People's Committees.

Mosspark: Homes Fit for Heroes?

This chapter describes the development of the élite Mosspark housing scheme in detail. It shows that rather than being for ordinary working-class people, its tenants were hand-picked white-collar and professional people, often Corporation employees. It mirrored the Protestant and Freemasonic Ethics which characterised the Glasgow bourgeoisie. There were NO unskilled manual workers at all in this scheme, and only a sprinkling of skilled manual workers. Only the best-paid, skilled workers could afford the high rents. In political terms Mosspark was solidly right-wing.
