Rohu (Labeo rohita) is a fish of the carp family Cyprinidae, found commonly in rivers and fresh water lakes in and around South Asia and South - East Asia. The freshwater fish Labeo rohita were exposed to Mercury chloride (0.25 ppm) for 10, 20 and 30 days and its effect on blood – bio chemical properties in the form of hyperglycemia, hypoproteinemia and hypercholesteromia. The results of the present study that the blood – biochemical changes may lead to the fish morbidity and mortality.

Malacca Portuguese Creole (MPC) (ISO 639-3; code: mcm), popularly known as Malacca Portuguese or locally as (Papiá) Cristang, belongs to the group of Portuguese-lexified creoles of (South)east Asia, which includes the extinct varieties of Batavia/Tugu (Maurer 2013) and Bidau, East Timor (Baxter 1990), and the moribund variety of Macau (Baxter 2009). MPC has its origins in the Portuguese presence in Malacca, and like the other creoles in this subset, it is genetically related to the Portuguese Creoles of South Asia (Holm 1988, Cardoso, Baxter & Nunes 2012).

We examine the interrelationship among foreign aid, foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in South-East Asia (SEA) and South Asia (SA) during 1980–2016. The findings from alternative empirical estimations suggest that while foreign aid is negatively associated with FDI as well as growth, FDI positively influences growth. Further, governmental financial assistance to private sector for domestic investment turns out to be important in all empirical estimations insofar as positively associated with FDI flows as well as growth. We, therefore, infer that low-income SEA and SA economies should focus on channelizing governmental financial assistance to private sector for domestic investment, macroeconomic stabilization, trade openness, and efficient utilization of aid flows, in order to attract, absorb and reap the benefits of complementing FDI flows and sustaining higher economic growth.

This article contends that China, as a part of its broader global agenda, is striving to recast the regional order in East Asia, South East Asia, and South Asia. Its revisionist moves and growing influence in South Asia are perceived by New Delhi as challenge to its national security and regional position thus forcing it to counter the Chinese moves and preserve the status quo ensuing into bilateral rivalry. Doklam standoff was an outcome of this bilateral rivalry between the two emerging Asian powers as Beijing attempted unilaterally to alter the prevailing territorial arrangement in the area of dispute and New Delhi counter-attempted to maintain the status quo. During the standoff, China projected itself as ‘victim’ of India’s aggression while making provocative military deployments and threats of war against India. Opposite to this, India absorbed Beijing’s pressure and defended its move in Doklam giving the logic of its ‘security concerns’ and ‘special relationship’ with Bhutan. New Delhi asked Beijing to resolve the dispute diplomatically while emphasizing on their troops’ mutual withdrawal from the site of standoff.

Purpose Excessive working capital or paucity of the same can impair the profits and health of an organization. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of working capital management (WCM) on the profitability of firms for a sample comprising of non-financial companies in countries of South East Asia, South Asia and East Asia. Design/methodology/approach Analytical modeling has been used to estimate the impact of WCM on profitability with the help of financial data of the companies listed in major indices of the target countries (India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan). The mathematical model presented in the paper has been tested using two-step-generalized method of moments. Findings The study reveals a non-linear relationship between profitability of a firm and WCM for 11 economies of the Asia Pacific region. Research limitations/implications The results are subject to the differences in the market dynamics of different economies (countries). Moreover, the limitations of the specific statistical method used to verify the model apply to the model too. Practical implications The research can be used as a tool by the firms (global as well as local) to ameliorate their performance by understanding the effects of WCM on profitability in different global markets and adjusting their working capital accordingly. Originality/value The research on the impact of WCM on profitability of the firms of South East Asia, South Asia and East Asia is a new effort and tries to make the importance of WCM more luciferous.

Purpose: The present study concentrates on the relationship of electricity with real output in Asia. The paper analyzes this connection individually among all regions of Asia. Some countries are selected from Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia. Time period of 1990 - 2015 has been chosen for the analysis. We have considered Solow growth model and have taken labor and capital as necessary variables for growth. After confirmation of integration of order as 1 for all variables, Kao Co-integration test infers presence of long run relationship in all models. FM-OLS suggests that labor and capital are positively significant factors for the development of real output in all the regions of Asia. Electricity Production is positively influencing real output in Central Asia, South Asia and South East Asia; For East Asia, it has been stated as negative. On the basis of results, study suggests that government should develop more skilled labor, cheap investment opportunities, efficient and cheap electricity production.

Abstract D. sissoo is a very useful multipurpose tree, extensively planted as single trees or in village woodlots, and in linear or block plantations, in countries of south Asia, particularly Pakistan and India (from the Indus to Assam). It has also been introduced, with varying degrees of success, into mainland South-East Asia, Java and Africa (Soerianegara and Lemmens, 1993). It is a fast-growing gregarious tree which can easily be propagated from seed, seedlings, stumps, and root or shoot cuttings. According to Chaturvedi (1956) "shisham (D. sissoo) is a friend of the farmer, as well as the forester; a tree which pays rich dividends". Economic returns from farmland plantations of this species in Pakistan are moderately high (Siddiqui, 1993).

Denis Byrne’s Surface Collection is a finely written philosophical travelogue, taking the reader on an archaeological tour of South Asia that is also a personal quest and a critique of heritage conservation. Its closely organised structure, reminiscent of baroque music, begins with an investigation of the modes of erasure or preservation of the recent past in South East Asia, shifts to an ironic narrative of futile quests for historical traces, and concludes with reflections on the clash of popular Buddhist relic worship with the values of heritage conservation. Byrne stages the latter conflict as between magical and rationalistic worldviews. Mildly dissenting, this essay suggests that although heritage conservation deploys scientific meanss, it is based on the sacralisation of the past. This motivation brings it closer to magic than to core tenets of Enlightenment, either of the Rational or the Buddhist kind.
