This chapter focuses on the link between medieval political theories and a flourishing Ottoman intellectual engagement with ideas concerning a perfect order of governance from within a sense of crisis. This crisis was driven by an increasingly mobile population, regional rebellions, and global climactic and monetary shifts that together challenged the “fundamentals” of Ottoman administrative order. It traces examples of a mode of political analysis, distinct from advice-giving, that linked justice to proper governance rather than to religion or to the sultan. The chapter demonstrates that Ottoman literary producers of the seventeenth century, while apprehensive of change, became innovators themselves and revived rational modes of political critique in the process. It further highlights how seventeenth-century scholar-bureaucrats came to focus on the archival past of the state itself and located Ottoman power in methods of record keeping. Ultimately they sought to restore a commitment to textual transparency.

Something strange happened in Manchuria under Qing rule: its freshwater mussels disappeared. Stranger still, the Qing empire did everything in its power to preserve them: draft soldiers; fortify passes; patrol rivers; send boats and horses and silver and men. It streamlined the bureaucracy and revamped the local administration. “Nurture the mussels and let them grow,” the emperor ordered; let Manchuria have mussels. Chapter explores what happened: the collapse of the pearl fishery the attempts, in the language of the Qing court, to “nurture the mussels.” The court put its full weight behind efforts to create a long-term sustainability: it reorganized the administrative structure, empowered territorial governors, and created militarized off-limits areas. Poachers were arrested; the mussels allowed to rest. Through a detailed description of the tribute system, the ecological crisis, and the court’s response, the chapter documents how a reinvented Manchuria came to be.

Perfect Order

PurposeAs we move up in the supply chain (SC) from retailer to supplier, amplification in the fluctuation of order increased. To minimize this amplification, understanding of key decision variables which affects the SC is essential. So, in the present work the authors developed a novel approach to examine the structural dependencies among variables responsible for perfect order fulfillment (POF).Design/methodology/approachInterpretive structural modeling approach has been used to model the structural relationship among the key SC variables. Further, to study the driver-dependence dynamics among variables MICMAC analysis has been used. In the second phase, the influence of driver variables on the POF is investigated by using fuzzy logic.FindingsFrom the results, it is observed that the variables’ delivery time, number of echelons, data accuracy and information sharing have high driving power which may help the organizations to meet challenges offered by POF. The results showed that for POF is said to be at optimum level when the number of echelons should be low and data accuracy should be high, and information sharing among all partners should also be very high.Research limitations/implicationsResearch on SC is classified into three categories, i.e. operational, design and strategic. In the present study authors discussed strategic variables responsible for POF which is the main limitation of the study. The work can be extended by including operational and design variables.Practical implicationsPOF in SC network is affected by various variables. The in-depth understanding of contextual association among the variables helps the managers to improve the efficiency of the SC and reduce the bullwhip effect across the downstream SC network.Originality/valueThe study presents a hybrid approach to analyze the key POF dimensions, i.e. forecasting, number of echelons, information sharing, cycle time and delivery time, critical to POF in downstream SC network by developing various case settings.

The nature of the phase transitions across isotropic–nematic (IN) and nematic–smectic-A (N-SmA) are carried out using density measurements in N-(p-n-ethoxy benzylidene)-p-n-pentyl aniline, 2O.5, N-(p-n-methoxy benzylidene)-p-n-pentyloxy aniline, 1O.O5, N-(p-n-ethyl benzylidene)-p-n-dodecyl aniline, 2.12 and N-(p-n-butyl benzylidene)-p-n-dodecyl aniline, 4.12. The compounds exhibit IN, IN, IN and INSmA phase sequences respectively with varying thermal ranges suitable for the study of birefringence. The birefringence studies are carried out using Newton’s rings and wedge techniques which provide δn = (ne- no) (the birefringence) ne, and norespectively. The orientational order parameter, S is evaluated (i) directly from δn and Δn (the birefringence in perfect order), independent of the local field that the nematic molecule experiences and (ii) from molecular polarizabilities estimated from ne, noand density values assuming isotropic as well as anisotropic field that the nematic molecule experiences. The estimated order parameter from the different techniques is compared with one another and with the literature data.

H1n1 Influenza Pandemic

The ongoing global pandemic that has been demolishing every aspect of humankind is truly unprecedented. The mankind experienced the variety of catastrophe since last few centuries, however, this deadly epidemic is extremely unique. This is not restricted to a particular geographical periphery, more importantly, it is not ethnicity dependent. If we could revert back, the last global epidemic of such proportion that is Spanish Flu (1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic) had plenty of similarities with the ongoing disaster in terms of the prevalence across the globe, epidemiology and associated attributes. Scientific fraternity across the world is trying the heart out to depict the origin of this deadly disaster but to say the least, there has been more argument than settlement. However, the most crucial part that coincidentally blends both the epidemics in a perfect order is the infodemic that without a shadow of doubt is the most staggering obstacle to deal with. In this paper a comprehensive effort has been put forward to illustrate the comparative analysis between the global pandemics of two respective genre. At the same time, the best possible lay outs have been also discussed to overhaul the ongoing crisis.

Supply Chain Operation

This research was conducted to identify the supply chain model of PT. Lotte Mart Indonesia (LMI) and analyze the performance of its cross dock distribution system using the adjusted Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model. The products studied were the fastest moving drinks and dairy category.  The first level of performance indicator for Reliability attribute is Perfect Order Fulfillment which has the second level of performance indicators are % of Orders Delivered in Full, and On Time Delivery. The supply chain performance for 3 months in 2012 was good at 74%. The second level mapping found errors in the deliver stock (D1) and deliver retail (D4) procedures. The third level mapping found 4 erroneous procedures in the stock-out goods, receiving inappropriate order, delayed and damaged goods, and a gap between ordered and received goods.  Procedures were suggested to remedy these errors.
