style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Sitka Text";color:windowtext">Increasing realisations over perspectives and role of innovations –including but beyond the technological – in impacting economies and societies at the macro, meso and micro levels call for a serious rethink on national, regional and sectoral innovation systems in India. While no clear-cut policies on innovations exist, especially addressing local and sub-national dynamics, absence of comprehensive statistics on innovation and related aspects remains a first major roadblock. Further, innovation potential of subsectors, regions and resources (both physical and knowledge-based) has been poorly articulated as we have limited understanding of interrelationships between diverse stakeholders of science, social-economy and democracy. A common concern is over innovative governance of access and use of resources (particularly, natural) to ensure broad-basing of sustainable production, consumption and conservation.</span></p> <p class="m_-571122479127847670m_-7827193104153857294gmail-Default" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Sitka,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Sitka Text";color:windowtext"> </span></p> <p class="m_-571122479127847670m_-7827193104153857294gmail-Default" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Sitka,sans-serif;color:black"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Sitka Text";color:windowtext">IndiaLICS </span></b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Sitka Text";color:windowtext">is the India chapter of Globelics, an international network of scholars who apply the concept of Learning, Innovation and Competence building System (LICS) as a framework for promoting inclusive and sustainable development in developing countries, emerging economies and societies in transition.

Driven by increased globalization, demographic expansion in demand for education, new information and communications technology, and changing cost structures influencing societal expectations and control, higher education systems across the globe are adapting to the pressures of this new industrial environment. To make sense of the complex changes in the practices and structures of higher education, this Handbook sets out a theoretical framework to explain what higher education systems are, how they may be compared over time, and why comparisons are important in terms of societal progress in an increasingly interconnected world.</div><div dir="auto">Drawing on insights from over 40 leading international scholars and practitioners, the chapters examine the main challenges facing institutions of higher education, how they should be managed in changing conditions, and the societal implications of different approaches to change. Structured around the premise that higher education plays a significant role in ensuring that a society achieves the capacity to adjust itself to change, while at the same time remaining cohesive as a social system, this Handbook explores how current internal and external forces disturb this balance, and how institutions of higher education could, and might, respond.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><b>Table of Contents</b></div><div dir="auto"><b>Part I: Education and Societal Evolution</b></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div><div>1: The Description and Comparison of Societal Systems of Higher Education and University Management, Gordon Redding, Antony Drew, and Stephen Crump</div></div></div><div><div><div>2: Criticality, Academic Autonomy, and Societal Progress, Gordon Redding</div></div></div><div><div><div>3: Socializing Human Capital for 21st Century Educational Goals: Suggestive Empirical Findings from Multi-National Research, Michael H.

Discover everything about IYPT2019 via its website. <a href="https://en.unesco.org/sites/default/files/iypt2019-programme-opening_en.pdf" target="_blank">Join the celebrations!</a></div><div><b><a href="https://www.iypt2019.org/" target="_blank">https://www.iypt2019.org/</a> </b></div><div><br></div><div><b><font color="#0000ff">The Mystery of Matter: "Unruly Elements"</font></b></div><div><b>About the Documentary: </b>Over a single weekend in 1869, a young Russian chemistry professor named Dmitri Mendeleev invents the Periodic Table, bringing order to the growing gaggle of elements. But this sense of order is shattered when a Polish graduate student named Marie Sklodowska Curie discovers radioactivity, revealing that elements can change identities — and that atoms must have undiscovered parts inside them. The Mystery of Matter: Search for the Elements is an exciting series about one of the great adventures in the history of science: the long and continuing quest to understand what the world is made of. Three episodes tell the story of seven of history's most important scientists as they seek to identify, understand and organize the basic building blocks of matter. The Mystery of Matter: Search for the Elements shows us not only what these scientific explorers discovered but also how,using actors to reveal the creative process through the scientists' own words and conveying their landmark discoveries through re-enactments shot with replicas of their original lab equipment. Knitting these strands together is host Michael Emerson, a two-time Emmy Award-winning actor. Meet Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier, whose discovery of oxygen led to the modern science of chemistry, and Humphry Davy, who made electricity a powerful new tool in the search for elements. Watch Dmitri Mendeleev invent the Periodic Table, and see Marie Curie's groundbreaking research on radioactivity crack open a window into the atom. Learn how Harry Moseley's investigation of atomic number redefined the Periodic Table, and how Glenn Seaborg's discovery of plutonium opened up a whole new realm of elements still being explored today. The Mystery of Matter: Search for the Elements brings the history of science to life for today's television audience.</div><div><b><a href="https://youtu.be/wbuDmY5gpXQ" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/wbuDmY5gpXQ</a></b></div></div></div></div></div> Anasua Mukherjee Dashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08545747926793134906noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442631606269713475.post-26802844051203325792019-01-31T04:39:00.001-08:002019-01-31T04:39:49.212-08:00New Book | Modi Doctrine, Science Diplomacy: Changing Dynamics of Foreign Policy of India | by Dr Pawan Sikka<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><b><i>New Book</i></b></div><div><b style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-size:large">Modi Doctrine, Science Diplomacy: Changing Dynamics of Foreign Policy of India</b><br></div><div><div><font size="4">edited by Pawan Sikka, 2019, Synergy Books India.</font><span style="font-size:large"> </span><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><b>About the Author</b><br></div><div>Dr. Pawan Sikka (b. 1944) is a former Scientist-G, Advisor, Government of India, Department of Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Technology) New Delhi.

The country is taking important strides towards emerging as a middle-income economy, provide jobs to millions of people, take global leadership on issues of geopolitical importance and stake claim for a growing superpower. In all of this, data and technology will play a fundamental role for India going forward. If the 20th century brought the promise of the Internet as a decentralised and self-regulating space, the 21st century is marked by battles over the control of data. This study aims to study the impact of data localisation from various perspectives, analyse the government's objectives towards implementation of such policy, identifies alternate policy mechanisms that we believe are better suited to drive home the objectives as opposed to blanket data localisation. Some of the key highlights in this report include the Cross-Border Data Flow Fundamental, Huge Costs to Mandatory Data Localisation, Organic Data Storage through Progressive Policies, and Alternative Policy Mechanisms.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Table of Contents</b></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div>Chapter 1: Cross-border Data Flows and Why They Matter</div></div><div><div>Chapter 2: Data Localization Driving Domestic Protectionism</div></div><div><div>Chapter 3: Sub-optimal Impact Of Forced Data Localisation</div></div><div><div>Chapter 4: Data Localization and the Indian Context</div></div><div><div>Chapter 5: Analysing the Motivation Behind Data Localization In India</div></div><div><div>Chapter 6: Alternative Policy Mechanisms</div></div><div><div>Chapter 7: Greater International Cooperation</div></div><div><div>Chapter 9: Towards Making India A Big Data Centre Hub</div></div><div><div>Chapter 10: Comparative Analysis With Other Nations</div></div><div><div>Chapter 11: Sectoral Analysis</div></div><div><div>Chapter 12: Content and Thematic Analysis</div></div></blockquote><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIcxUjYNfjTeyW0z3enLBaMLfza8TNUQpzTZ_McAdUGuElH44r-fDDxH5VrQZsh0l65_4oKLAAGo9qwWMoavmYDy_EWYrnyOh0zKJBQfdB-lmQRbdzALacuUYh48YoZuZticeAbIrWrCg/s1600/image-742499.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIcxUjYNfjTeyW0z3enLBaMLfza8TNUQpzTZ_McAdUGuElH44r-fDDxH5VrQZsh0l65_4oKLAAGo9qwWMoavmYDy_EWYrnyOh0zKJBQfdB-lmQRbdzALacuUYh48YoZuZticeAbIrWrCg/s320/image-742499.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6628590283975867970" /></a><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><font size="4"><a href="http://www.thedialogue.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Data-Localisation-in-a-Globalised-World.pdf" target="_blank">Download Full-text PDF (open access)</a></font></b></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div> Anasua Mukherjee Dashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08545747926793134906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442631606269713475.post-84148498072141217382018-11-20T22:18:00.001-08:002018-11-20T22:18:30.288-08:00Just Released: "2019 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report - Migration, Displacement and Education: Building Bridges not Walls"<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><br><u></u> <div marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="margin:0;padding:0;background-color:#f2f2f2;height:100%!important;width:100%!important"> <span class="m_2042238411484306223m_-846244595628781446mcnPreviewText" style="display:none;font-size:0px;line-height:0px;max-height:0px;max-width:0px;opacity:0;overflow:hidden">Download the Report and other materials in multiple languages.

2019 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report on migration, displacement and education: <a href="http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0026/002658/265866E.pdf" style="word-wrap:break-word;color:#6dc6dd;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><em>Building bridges not walls</em></a>, is now available.<br> <br> It examines the education impact of all population movements: within and across borders, voluntary and forced, for employment and education. It also reviews progress on education in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.<br> <br> In view of increasing diversity, the report analyses how education can build inclusive societies and help people move beyond tolerance and learn to live together. Education provided equally builds bridges; unequal provision raises walls between migrants and refugees and their host communities.<br> <br> Two new global compacts on migrants and refugees recognize education's role and set objectives aligned with the global commitment to leave no one behind. This report is a vital toolkit for these compacts. It covers policy issues that address seasonal migrants, rural school consolidation, intercultural curricula, refugee inclusion in national education systems and elimination of segregation, qualifications recognition, targeting of school funding, more effective humanitarian education aid and teacher preparedness for diverse classrooms in emergency, protracted and "new normal" contexts. The report calls on countries to see education as a tool to manage migration and displacement and an opportunity for those needing one.<br> <br><span style="color:#b22222"><a href="http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0026/002658/265866E.pdf" style="word-wrap:break-word;color:#6dc6dd;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Download</a></span><a href="https://unesco.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=37430bc2551e75db6edda50bb&id=981936ce12&e=c80adc2757" style="word-wrap:break-word;color:#6dc6dd;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:#b22222"> </span></a>the Report and its <a href="http://gem-report-2019.unesco.org/more-languages/" style="word-wrap:break-word;color:#6dc6dd;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">supporting materials in multiple languages</a>.

in the Context of Strengthening the Global Response to the Threat of Climate Change, Sustainable Development, and Efforts to Eradicate Poverty</b></font></div><div><font size="4">by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Geneva, October 2018. </font></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>About this Report</b></div><div>Under the Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, 197 countries agreed to aim to hold the rise in global average temperature to "well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels" and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 °C. As part of the decision to adopt the agreement, the world's governments invited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to prepare a special report in 2018 on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. At a meeting in Nairobi in April 2016, member states of the IPCC decided to accept the UNFCCC's invitation. A few months later at the next meeting in Bangkok in October, the Panel agreed on the title, outline, and scope of the Special Report. <br></div><div>The Special Report on 1.5 °C (SR15) is being developed under the joint scientific leadership of IPCC Working Groups I, II and III, with support from Working Group I Technical Support Unit. There are two other Special Reports underway as part of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Cycle. These Special Reports on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL) and on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) will be published in August and September 2019, respectively.</div><div><br></div><div><b>What does it cover?</b></div><div>The Special Report on 1.5 °C consists of five chapters. The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) is based on the key findings from these chapters. A separate Technical Summary collates the Executive Summaries that appear at the start of each chapter into one document. A series of boxes contain case studies or themes that cut across the whole report, such as scenarios or cities. The Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C feeds directly into the Talanoa Dialogue. Taking place in December 2018, the Talanoa Dialogue (Talanoadialogue.com) is the international process to take stock of collective efforts towards the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement and to inform countries' pledges to reduce their own emissions, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). </div><div>More information about what each chapter and section of the report covers is in the agreed <b><a href="http://ipcc.ch/meetings/session44/l2_adopted_outline_sr15.pdf" target="_blank">outline</a></b>. Alongside the main report, there is also be a glossary and a set of Frequently Asked Questions (<a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_faq.pdf" target="_blank">FAQs</a>). The FAQs are intended to provide concise, accessible summaries of key topics in the report for non-specialist audiences.</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Table of Contents</b></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_chapter1.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 1</a>: Framing and Context</div></div><div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_chapter2.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 2</a>: Mitigation pathways compatible with 1.5°C in the context of sustainable development</div></div><div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_chapter3.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 3</a>: Impacts of 1.5°C global warming on natural and human systems</div></div><div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_chapter4.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 4</a>: Strengthening and implementing the global response to the threat of climate change</div></div><div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_chapter5.pdf" target="_blank">Chapter 5</a>: Sustainable development, poverty eradication, and reducing inequalities</div></div><div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_spm_final.pdf" target="_blank">Summary for Policymakers</a></div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_headline_statements.pdf" target="_blank">Headline Statements</a></div><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_glossary.pdf" target="_blank">Glossary</a></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_faq.pdf" target="_blank">FAQs</a></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><br></div></blockquote><div dir="ltr"><b>Additional Resources</b><br><div><ul><li><b><a href="https://www.cseindia.org/cse-analyses-the-new-ipcc-special-report-on-global-warming-of-1-5-c-9055" target="_blank">CSE analyses the new IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C</a></b><br></li><li><b style="text-align:center"><a href="https://cdn.cseindia.org/attachments/0.30129500_1538986171_Factsheet---IPCC-Special-Report.pdf" target="_blank">Factsheet</a></b><span style="text-align:center">, prepared by CSE</span><br></li><li><span style="text-align:center"><b><a href="https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=5188" target="_blank">WMO/UNEP Brief Understanding the IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C</a></b><br></span></li></ul></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcvlIdFmrYOCpxNjVwGTbjDhCq1ObNDYwnrH9c9mtb_4rjueOqv1AVTdisNEBIhGBsIYo3KdydUgRXdQBYZ0cdvRt3M2RJu4uSLHmLWoN9Ktt7_AfBf_6idfUdHdmbU0VTeEeflyjVgw/s1600/sr15_cover-705634.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBcvlIdFmrYOCpxNjVwGTbjDhCq1ObNDYwnrH9c9mtb_4rjueOqv1AVTdisNEBIhGBsIYo3KdydUgRXdQBYZ0cdvRt3M2RJu4uSLHmLWoN9Ktt7_AfBf_6idfUdHdmbU0VTeEeflyjVgw/s320/sr15_cover-705634.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6610334802806107874" /></a><br></div></div><div style="text-align:center"><font size="4"><b><a href="http://www.ipcc.ch/report/sr15/" target="_blank">Full IPCC Report</a> | <a href="http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_spm_final.pdf" target="_blank">Summary for Policy Makers</a> | </b></font><b style="font-size:large"><a href="https://cdn.cseindia.org/attachments/0.30129500_1538986171_Factsheet---IPCC-Special-Report.pdf" target="_blank">Factsheet</a></b><span style="font-size:large">, prepared by CSE</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> Anasua Mukherjee Dashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08545747926793134906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442631606269713475.post-60472431272249102212018-10-05T06:09:00.001-07:002018-10-05T06:09:18.164-07:00New Report | "Future of Work in India: Inclusion, Growth and Transformation – An Enterprise Survey" | by T Chapman, S Saran, R Sinha, S Kedia & S Gutta;

The large pool of scientific and technical manpower in many Indian institutions has not had the benefit of either induction training or a system of regular in-service training that are available to other cadre-based services. In order to bridge this gap, this Programme for scientist-administrators and technologists at the Senior Level with 15 years and above experience, from various scientific organizations in the country will focus on the theme Science, Technology and Innovation Policy. The Course will be conducted during November 19-30, 2018. Consistent with the mission of NIAS, its courses emphasize the development of leadership qualities through the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge.</font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font color="#000000" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><div><div style="display:inline!important"><b><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">About the Programme</font></b></div><div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">This program will impart training to participants on how science policies are important and are evolved and what is the government's role in the science and technology innovation system.

Kennedy, Columbia University Press, 2018, Hardback, ISBN: 9780231546201.</font><br></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>About the Book:</b> Innovation is globalizing. Cross-border flows of brainpower have reached unprecedented heights, while multinationals invest more and more in high-tech facilities abroad. In this new world, the technological leadership of the United States increasingly involves collaboration with other countries. China and India have emerged as particularly prominent partners, unrivaled suppliers of intellectual talent to the United States, and U.S. companies are the largest foreign investors in research and development in both countries. In The Conflicted Superpower, Andrew Kennedy explores how the world's most powerful country navigates the policy of its collaboration with these two rising powers.<br>Whereas China and India have embraced global innovation, policy in the United States is conflicted. Kennedy explains why, through in-depth case studies of U.S. policies toward skilled immigration, foreign students, and offshoring. These make clear that U.S. policy is not strategic but rather the outcome of domestic battles between competing interests. Pressing for openness is the "high-tech community"--the technology firms and research universities that embody U.S. technological leadership. Yet these pro-globalization forces can face resistance from a range of other interests, including labor and anti-immigration groups, and the nature of this resistance powerfully shapes just how open national policy is. Kennedy concludes by asking whether U.S. policies are accelerating or slowing American decline, and considering the prospects for U.S. policymaking in years to come. </div><div><br></div><div><div><b>Table of Contents</b><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>Introduction</div><div>1.

In order to meet the increasing demand for various forms of energy—whether derived from fossil fuel, nuclear substances, or renewable sources—conservation, equitable use, and efficient management of its usage have gained primacy. Energy Law and Policy provides a constructive understanding of energy law, a relatively new area in the discourse of environmental law. It argues the importance of looking into existing legal imperatives to frame a robust, and comprehensive legal framework on renewable energy at national and international levels. In this volume, leading energy law experts shed light on crucial aspects of energy law, such as the linkages between energy and sustainable development, energy trade, energy tax, and intellectual property rights in clean energy. Providing a comparative perspective, the volume discusses domestic laws of India, China, Mauritius, and Nigeria, and links the legal instruments developed by environmental law to an energy regime where economic motives dominate and differ across nations depending on the availability of their natural resources. </div><div><br></div><div><div><b>About the Editor: </b>Usha Tandon is professor of environmental law, population law, and gender justice at Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, India.</div></div><div><br></div><div><div><b>Table of Contents</b></div></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Foreword by Richard L.

<div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: medium;">Edited by Amita Singh, Milap Punia, Nivedita P. Haran & Thiyam Bharat Singh; Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, ISBN: 9789811084843.</span></div>

<b>About the Book</b></div>
<div>
This book highlights the relationship between disasters and development through a socio-cultural study of human geography and governance institutions. It studies the cause, context and consequences of disasters in one of the most fragile Himalayan regions in India. The book establishes the fact that disaster management is built within the framework of good governance, without which it has no meaning. For lack of effective and responsive governance, development has lagged behind and even though the frequency of disasters has been increasing, little is being done to redesign developmental frameworks to prevent ensuing losses. Besides, the near absence of governmental support during recurrent disasters, communities have cumulatively become reservoirs of innovations to cope up with disasters. The resilience plans need not follow implanted models but may be cost effective only if they apply a bottom up approach. Just as the region is culturally diverse so are the challenges encountered by local communities in terms of generating resilience to every disaster. Despite more than a decade of the Disaster Management Act (DMA) of 2005, most of the states in this northeastern fringe of India continue to wait for its implementation beyond mere structures and offices. The book suggests that urgent action is required in accordance with the DMA 2005 towards inter-agency coordination, proactive participation of local governance, mobilization of Community based Organizations (CBOs) and curriculum based training in every academic and technical institution. Governments of these northeastern states of India should establish accountability of State Disaster Management Authorities and inspire them to participate proactively with communities for an effective resilience building in the region.</div>

It consists of selected papers presented at the World Congress on Disaster Management, which focused on community resilience and responses towards disaster risk reduction based on South Asian experiences, and closely examines the coordinated research activities involving all stakeholders, especially the communities at risk. Further, it narrates the experiences of disaster risk-reduction in different communities that have policy implications for mitigation of future disaster risks in the societies affected by these types of disasters. Written from the social science perspective to disasters rather than an engineering approach, the book helps development and governance institutions to prioritize disasters as a problem of development rather than being parallel to it.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Table of Contents (21 chapters)</b></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><div>Law Can Set a Stage for Disaster Risk Reduction: A Study on Nepal | Ahmad, Akbaruddin (et al.)</div></div></div></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div><div>Coordination Does Matter for Disaster Management in Bangladesh | Marzina Begum, Mst.

Forget everything you think you know about the digital age. It's not about privacy, surveillance, AI or blockchain -- it's about ownership. Because, in a digital age, who owns information controls the future. Today, information is everywhere. From your DNA to the latest blockbusters, from lifesaving drugs to the app on your phone, from big data to algorithms. Our entire global economy is built on it and the rules around information affect us all every day. As information continues to move into the digital domain, it can be copied and distributed with ease, making access and control even more important. But the rules we have made for it, derived from how we manage physical property, are hopelessly maladapted to the digital world. In this urgent and provocative book, Rufus Pollock shows that we must make a choice between making information Open, shared by all, or making it Closed, exclusively owned and controlled, and how today's Closed digital economy is the source of problems ranging from growing inequality, to unaffordable medicines, to the power of a handful of tech monopolies to control how we think and vote. Choosing Open is the path to a more equitable, innovative and profitable future for all.<br></div><div><br></div><div><b>About the Author:</b> Dr Rufus Pollock is a researcher, technologist and entrepreneur. He has been a pioneer in the global Open Data movement, advising national governments, international organisations and industry on how to succeed in the digital world. He is the founder of <b><i>Open Knowledge</i></b>, a leading NGO with a presence in over 35 countries, empowering people and organizations with access to information so they can create insight and drive change. Formerly, he was the Mead Fellow in Economics at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge. He has been the recipient of a $1m Shuttleworth Fellowship and is currently an Ashoka Fellow and Fellow of the RSA. He holds a PhD in Economics and a double first in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge.<br></div><div><br></div><div><div><b>Table of Contents</b></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>1 Prologue: Monopolies of Attention</div><div>2 An Open World</div><div>3 Defining Information and Openness</div><div>4 Patents and Copyright as "Intellectual Property"</div><div>5 Face to Face with Power</div><div>6 Triumph over Closed Minds: The Internet</div><div>7 Music to our Ears</div><div>8 How the Secret of Life Almost Stayed Secret</div><div>9 Meet Jamie Love</div><div>10 Openness: The Best Medicine</div><div>11 Making an Open World</div><div>12 Help us Make it Happen</div><div>13 Coda: The Original Copyfight</div></div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="text-align:center"><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVSLsSu67DIVijG-J_L2kiNOv0fzKXA-5zkjjEp8j39Yvk0bU-MPWgl3V2UfQa90BzD7BGxqNIsp0HxNJgzybs9PbjcyIK8b7qcjD0eCdlEIPQirHSTUCqN7KA0AoBkG_MnrsqpgvfOjE/s1600/image-752979.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVSLsSu67DIVijG-J_L2kiNOv0fzKXA-5zkjjEp8j39Yvk0bU-MPWgl3V2UfQa90BzD7BGxqNIsp0HxNJgzybs9PbjcyIK8b7qcjD0eCdlEIPQirHSTUCqN7KA0AoBkG_MnrsqpgvfOjE/s320/image-752979.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6600687218824955186" /></a><br></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center"><b><font size="4"><a href="https://openrevolution.net/media/open-revolution.pdf" target="_blank">Download Open Access Book</a></font></b></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> Anasua Mukherjee Dashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08545747926793134906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442631606269713475.post-51025366919094027892018-09-10T11:06:00.000-07:002018-09-10T11:07:06.630-07:00New Book "Journalism, 'Fake News' and Disinformation: A Handbook for Journalism Education and Training"<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#0000ff" size="4"><b>Journalism, 'Fake News' and Disinformation: A Handbook for Journalism Education and Training</b></font><br></div><div><font size="4">edited by Cherilyn Ireton and Julie Posetti; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Paris, 2018, ISBN: 9789231002816.</font><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><b>About the Book: </b>This new publication by UNESCO is a timely resource and highly topical subject for all those who practice or teach journalism in this Digital Age. UNESCO's new handbook is an essential addition to teaching syllabi for all journalism educators, as well as practising journalists and editors who are interested in information, how we share it and how we use it. It is mission critical that those who practice journalism understand and report on the new threats to trusted information. Political parties, health professionals, business people, scientists, election monitors and others will also find the handbook useful in navigating the information disorder. Written by experts in the fight against disinformation, this handbook explores the very nature of journalism - with modules on why trust matters; thinking critically about how digital technology and social platforms are conduits of the information disorder; fighting back against disinformation and misinformation through media and information literacy; fact-checking 101; social media verification and combating online abuse. The seven individual modules are available online to download that enables readers to develop their own course relevant to their media environment.</div><div><br></div><div><div><b>Table of Contents</b></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Module One | Truth, Trust and Journalism: Why it Matters | Cherilyn Ireton</div><div>Module Two | Thinking about "Information Disorder": Formats of Misinformation, Disinformation and Mal-Information | Claire Wardle & Hossein Derakshan</div><div>Module Three | News Industry Transformation: Digital Technology, Social Platforms and the Spread of Misinformation and Disinformation | Julie Posetti</div><div>Module Four | Combatting Disinformation and Misinformation Through Media and Information Literacy (MIL) | Magda Abu-Fadil </div><div>Module Five | Fact-Checking 101 | Alexios Mantzarlis</div><div>Module Six | Social Media Verification: Assessing Sources and Visual Content | Tom Trewinnard and Fergus Bell</div><div>Module Seven | Combatting Online Abuse: When Journalists and Their Sources are Targeted | Julie Posetti</div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="text-align:center"><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWJKtkUhaVt5J-JnPyIZTJPLUJ_pbsOCOQcUnJa_Xq6YSz36Qn5oS1X_5LpCM6R2EGQ4DUfiYsiOTj4HZJ-9nmQtdgv2gb9fSxiGYYYuzUCvU3RHoRVAFF_re2giStygewSQQhrmA_H8/s1600/image-726770.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWJKtkUhaVt5J-JnPyIZTJPLUJ_pbsOCOQcUnJa_Xq6YSz36Qn5oS1X_5LpCM6R2EGQ4DUfiYsiOTj4HZJ-9nmQtdgv2gb9fSxiGYYYuzUCvU3RHoRVAFF_re2giStygewSQQhrmA_H8/s320/image-726770.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6599658889993113506" /></a><br></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="https://en.unesco.org/sites/default/files/journalism_fake_news_disinformation_print_friendly_0.pdf" target="_blank"><b><font size="4">Download Open Access Book</font></b></a></div><div><br></div><div><b><font color="#9900ff">See Also</font></b></div></div></div></div></div></div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_2985261704712343196gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><ul><li><font color="#0000ff"><a href="https://en.unesco.org/fightfakenews/modules" target="_blank">Individual Modules</a></font></li><li><a href="https://en.unesco.org/node/296002" target="_blank" style="">Background Information</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> Anasua Mukherjee Dashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08545747926793134906noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442631606269713475.post-1991031741348589802018-09-10T02:08:00.001-07:002018-09-10T02:08:22.522-07:00Journal of Scientometric Research, 7(2) 2018 issue is now online.<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:center;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><font color="#0000ff" size="4">Journal of Scientometric Research</font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:center;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><font size="4">Vol 7, Issue 2, May-Aug, 2018</font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:center;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><a href="http://jscires.org/v7/i2" style="color:blue" target="_blank"><font size="4">http://jscires.org/v7/i2</font></a> </b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,176,240)">Research Articles</span></b><br></p> <p class="m_-3557991377738668195gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt 0.25in;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></p><ul><li><b><i><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">Data-Mining the Foundational Patents of Photovoltaic Materials: An Application of Patent Citation Spectroscopy</span></i></b>. by Jordan A.

The country embarked upon wide-ranging economic reforms in what came to be known as the Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation or LPG era. The electricity sector - indeed, the entire energy sector - has seen multiple waves of reforms since then. It has been a quarter century since the beginning of the reforms and there are indications that a fresh wave of reforms are in the offing in the electricity sector. Over this period, Prayas (Energy Group) has keenly followed and participated in the reforms process as a proactive, independent organisation offering constructive critique and suggestions to further public interest. Prayas (Energy Group) has authored a book born out of this unique engagement and understanding of the sector. The book critically examines many of these reforms and the impacts they have had, to understand if they achieved their expected objectives and if they helped in achieving the desirable socio-environmental outcomes. The in-depth analysis over eight chapters covers thermal, hydropower and renewable generation, electricity distribution, and associated fuel sectors of coal and natural gas. We hope that the book contributes to improve the design and implementation of further reforms, so that the sector overcomes its challenges in an equitable and sustainable manner. The book is dedicated to Girish Sant, founder coordinator of Prayas (Energy Group), who continues to inspire our work.
