Performing Identity Through Creative Industries
India performs and negotiates its cultural identity through a wide spectrum of creative industries, including audio visual techniques and media production, fashion, interior and industrial design, fine arts, handicrafts, and music and performing arts. It argues that these diverse cultural forms function as instruments of soft power, enabling India to project narratives of heritage, innovation, and modernity in the international arena. By analyzin…

China's Soft Power Diplomacy in International Politics
The concept of soft power has become increasingly significant in the realm of international politics. As nations seek to exert their influence on the global stage, the ability to shape the preferences and perceptions of others through non-coercive means has emerged as a vital tool. China, with its rapidly growing economic and political clout, has substantially engaged in exercising strategies and means as soft power politics to accomplish its pre…

The Strategic Role of Visual and Performing Arts as Instruments of India’s Soft Power in International Politics
The idea of soft power has become increasingly popular in the field of international relations, where cultural diplomacy is essential to influencing how the global community looks a country. India, with its vast and diverse cultural heritage, has strategically employed its visual and performing arts as critical instruments of soft power. From Bollywood films and classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam and Kathak to its traditional music and fine…
Risk factors for melioidosis in Udupi District, Karnataka, India, January 2017-July 2018
We initiated an epidemiological investigation following the death of a previously healthy 17 year-old boy with neuro-melioidosis. A case was defined as a culture-confirmed melioidosis patient from Udupi district admitted to hospital A from January 2013—July 2018. For the case control study, we enrolled a subset of cases admitted to hospital A from January 2017- July 2018. A control was resident of Udupi district admitted to hospital A in July 201…
The BDNF-TrkB Pathway Acts Through Nucleus Accumbens D2 Expressing Neurons to Mediate Stress Susceptible Outcomes
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a critical role in stress response including neuropsychiatric disorders that are precipitated by stress, such as major depressive disorder (MDD). BDNF acts through its full-length BDNF receptor tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) to trigger a pro-plasticity effect. In contrast, the truncated isoform of the BDNF receptor (TrkB.t1) triggers an anti-plasticity effect. In stress outcomes, BDNF acting in the hippocamp…
Mitochondria-Related Nuclear Gene Expression in the Nucleus Accumbens and Blood Mitochondrial Copy Number After Developmental Fentanyl Exposure in Adolescent Male and Female C57BL/6 Mice
The potency of the synthetic opioid fentanyl and its increased clinical availability has led to the rapid escalation of use in the general population, increased recreational exposure, and subsequently opioid-related overdoses. The wide-spread use of fentanyl has, consequently, increased the incidence of in utero exposure to the drug, but the long-term effects of this type of developmental exposure are not yet understood. Opioid use has also been …
Allyn Young on Henry George and the Single Tax
Henry George, though not the originator of the idea of the single tax, succeeded in popularising it to a wide audience. His scientific rigour in Progress and Poverty was questioned by both Alfred Marshall and Allyn Young. With progress neither poverty nor the decline in real wages was inevitable. Young agreed with Marshall that although the overall supply of land was fixed, it was relatively elastic for any particular use even within agriculture.…
Nicholas Kaldor on Adam Smith and Allyn Young
Nicholas Kaldor was much influenced by the Smith-Young view of increasing returns. The objective of this paper is to critically examine Kaldor’s interpretation of Smith and Young. In particular, five questions are addressed: (1) Does Smith’s Wealth of Nations have nothing much to contribute in terms of disequilibrium theory or increasing returns after the middle of chapter four? (2) Did Smith and Young have a sectoral view of increasing returns i…

In vivo evaluation of anti-oxidant and anti-lipidimic potential of Annona squamosa aqueous extract in Type 2 diabetic models
The Relationship Between the Black Market and Official Exchange Rates
This study is the first to use Johansen's cointegration approach for India in the analysis of the long‐term dynamics between the black and official exchange rates for the period 1953–1993. The study also estimates the long‐run elasticity of the official rate with respect to the black market rate. As monthly data over 40 years are used, and a more robust methodology is employed, the results are likely to be more reliable as compared with the earli…
Currie's ‘leading sector’ strategy of growth
This paper offers a new interpretation of Lauchlin Currie's (1974 Currie, L. 1974. The ‘leading sector’ model of growth in developing countries. Journal of Economic Studies, 1: 1–16. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) leading-sector strategy. The idea of a leading sector normally conjures up notions of a favoured or privileged treatment. This paper argues that Currie's leading-sector strategy is a misnomer in the sense that it doe…
The role of pecuniary external economies and economies of scale in the theory of increasing returns
This paper investigates some issues relating to the phenomenon of increasing returns: (1) What is the role of economies of scale in the theory of increasing returns? (2) Do pecuniary external economies lead to market failure and justify intervention in the market mechanism? (3) Are increasing returns sector-specific or generalised, and if they are sector specific, is it possible to identify and promote these sectors from a policy point of view? W…
