On Farm

This paper reviews options for the design and analysis of on-farm experiments. It covers both older approaches that have been popular since the Green Revolution, and more recent developments made possible by the availability of online monitoring systems as used in precision farming. The roles of randomisation as well as of geostatistical methods of analysis for these kinds of experiments are critically discussed. Two case studies are provided for illustration.

Introduction: Problems of stability of constitutional order have both theoretical and practical dimensions and touch all states. In the article, constitutional stability in the context of social changes is discussed. Methods: Doing the analysis, the authors use special methodology of legal research. In particular, a comparative-law is broadly applied as well as case studies. Analysis: In the first part of the article the authors discuss recent developments in the Russian constitutional legislation concerning electoral systems and informational technologies. In particular, the «Yarovaya Act» is criticized. In the authors’ opinion, legislation that does not meet social demands undermines constitutional stability. Frequent amendments of the Constitution and constitutional legislation (especially electoral one) do not contribute to constitutional stability as well. In the second part the authors analyze constitutional stability through the prism of inter-ethnic relations. They discuss some cases from Indian, Nigerian and Ethiopian experience. Results: The authors make a conclusion that stable constitutional order does not mean inflexible order. There should be a balance between social changes and maintenance of basic values and institutions. The constitutional order should be rigid enough for social changes not to be able to undermine the constitutional basis and trust of citizens to values, aims and principles proclaimed by the main law of the country.

Insulation Condition

Many successful applications for the online monitoring of the insulation condition for electric power transformers have been reported over last thirty years. However, false or unsolved alarms have been quite frequently generated by those condition monitoring systems. Failures and some occasionally catastrophic accidents involving transformers have still occurred. A highly reliable insulation condition online monitoring and real-time alarm system has been developed, to help resolve these problems. An electric power transformer has strongly linked mechanical, electrical, magnetic, chemical and thermal characteristics, and is also directly linked to circuit breakers and generators. Team Intelligence (TI) was employed to integrate all the monitoring modules of the various different aspects of the transformer into one unique system. This system could also be integrate with the condition monitoring systems of various linked facilities, such as the monitoring systems of the turbine and the generator in a Optimal Maintenance Information System for Hydropower Plant (HOMIS). Highly reliable monitoring and real-time alarms of transformer insulation condition could be achieved, due to highly coordinated and rapid response features. This system has been deployed in several hydropower plants. The industrial application examples are demonstrated.

This chapter delineates the various issues and myths concerning farm income in India in an emphatic manner. Indian agriculture has made rapid progress after the introduction of the Green Revolution in terms of production and productivity of crops. But, this development seems to have not made any big impact on the income of farmers. Owing to poor remuneration from crop cultivation that lead to increased indebtedness, widespread suicides of farmers have been reported in different parts of the country. Unfortunately, comprehensive analysis covering all the pertinent issues of farm income is not available in India. Besides flagging the pertinent issues on farm income, this chapter provides a brief overview of all the chapters included in this volume.

AbstractThis article reviews recent developments in scholarship on gastronationalism, or more broadly, food and nationalism. It finds while the concept of gastronationalism per se has not been rigorously developed, scholarship of food and nationalism in general has been developing fast. A major development in the study of gastronationalism is the introduction of the everyday nationhood/banal nationalism perspective, which in turn diverts the focus away from the state’s intervention, a point emphasized by Michaela DeSoucey. The review of the field suggests that a renewed focus on the role of food in the interaction between state actors and international organizations would further refine the concept of gastronationalism. As for the study of food and nationalism, efforts to integrate findings from existing case studies to produce an overall understanding of society are needed.
