Big Visual Data in Digital Infrastructure Planning
The paper examines the use of big visual data in the context of digital infrastructure planning. It reconstructs the perspectives of professional planners whose work is based on the digital planning method Building Information Modelling (BIM). Against the background of communicative constructivism the concept synthetic object is developed that reflects the changeability of planning models and the processuality of visual mass data as a relational …
Threads of Tradition
This study explores the rich historical and economic significance of the Zari-Zardozi craft in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh and examines the current challenges faced by this ancient craft. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, it integrates data from both primary and secondaru sources including personal interviews, economic data, historical records, and contemporary studies to trace the journey of this craft from ancient origins to its current role …
Unravelling sediment sources and sinks in the large Ganga River system
A basin-scale sediment budget can reveal distinct contributions of tectonic, geomorphological and climatic domains to sediment dispersal in large river systems. While traditional budgets at the reach- and sub-basin-scale have focused on hinterland sediment supply, the role of alluvial storage in modulating sediment fluxes remains poorly understood, particularly in data-scarce Himalayan large rivers. To address this, we compiled sediment load data…

Core Health and Living Stress Among Older People
Maintaining core health and managing living stress among older individuals are crucial for their overall well-being. As people age, various factors impact their physical and mental health, making it essential to address these concerns comprehensively. In this discussion, we will explore the significance of core health, the challenges older people face and strategies to alleviate living stress, covering various aspects such as physical activity, n…
For Hybrid Mapping
This paper makes the case for a novel approach to mapping in the field of socio-spatial research. We argue for the necessity of a new research method engaging interdisciplinary knowledge from across the social sciences and spatial design disciplines to grasp the hybrid, processual and relational character of spaces under change. Here, transformation is understood through the conceptual framework of the “re-figuration of spaces” which provides the…

Hydrogen isotope
Stable isotope analysis is a valuable tool in forensic investigation. Recently, isotopic investigation is in great trend, Forensic discipline is making use of multi-purpose isotopic profiles along with isotopic landscapes or isoscapes from body tissues. These isotopes help in predicting the geographical location or origin of the unidentified body. Isotope analysis is a commendable and powerful tool for geolocation and can provide investigative le…

Situating embodied action plans
This article investigates action plans not as mental but as situated and observable activities in social interactions. I argue that projections and action plans can be understood as complex embodied practices through which actors prepare and coordinate further actions as part of a trajectory of a “communicative project”. “Projections” within ‘talk-in-interaction’ are a central topic of conversation analysis (CA), e.g. for the micro analysis of th…
Investigating Cooking Activity Patterns and Perceptions of Air Quality Interventions among Women in Urban Rwanda
Household air pollution (HAP) from biomass cooking with traditional stoves is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) worldwide. Air quality interventions such as improved cookstoves (ICS) may mitigate HAP-related impacts; however, poor understanding of contextual socio-cultural factors such as local cooking practices have limited their widespread adoption. Policymakers and stakeholders require an under…
The myth of ‘debt-trap diplomacy’ and realities of Chinese development finance
In recent decades China has emerged as a leader in international development finance, with the potential to provide sorely needed funds to address major global developmental gaps. However, not everyone is optimistic about this new source of lending. A narrative of ‘debt-trap diplomacy’ has emerged to describe Chinese lending to developing countries – most ardently advanced by the United States – contending that China seeks to ensnare smaller coun…

Visual Communication in Urban Design and Planning
This editorial introduces the subject matter of the thematic issue, which includes a diverse collection of contributions from authors in various disciplines including, history, architecture, planning, sociology and geography. Within the context of mediatisation processes—and the increased use of ever-expanding I&C technologies—communication has undergone profound changes. As such, this thematic issue will discuss how far (digital) media tools and…
Citizen Participation in Digitised Environments in Berlin
Digital information and communication technologies influence not only on urban planning but also citizen participation. The increasing level of politically driven involvement of the public in urban planning processes has led to the development of new participatory technologies and innovative visual tools. Using an empirical case study, the article investigates a completed participation process concerning an e-participation platform in Berlin, whi…
Visibility as a proxy for air quality in East Africa
Many urban areas in Africa do not have sufficient monitoring programs to understand their air quality. This study uses visibility as a proxy for PM pollution to provide insight into PM air pollution in three East African cities: Addis Ababa, Nairobi and Kampala, from 1974 to 2018. Overall, a significant loss in East African visibility was observed since the 1970s, where Nairobi shows the greatest loss (60%), as compared to Kampala (56%) and Addis…
Investigating the Association between Wood and Charcoal Domestic Cooking, Respiratory Symptoms and Acute Respiratory Infections among Children Aged Under 5 Years in Uganda
Background : Household air pollution associated with biomass (wood, dung, charcoal, and crop residue) burning for cooking is estimated to contribute to approximately 4 million deaths each year worldwide, with the greatest burden seen in low and middle-income countries. We investigated the relationship between solid fuel type and respiratory symptoms in Uganda, where 96% of households use biomass as the primary domestic fuel. Materials and Methods…

Die Qualität der Spannung
Soziale Welt is one of the important journals within German sociology and is even read in foreign countries. It includes empirical and theoretical contributions from all areas of the subject and tries to portray the development of sociology and to give a new impetus. In addition to the quarterly published issues, there are special issues with a unified theme. The journal "Soziale Welt" is aimed at sociologists, social scientists, and at generally…
Financial Globalization and Human Development
This paper is concerned essentially with the question of how does financial globalization affect economic welfare? Orthodox theory suggests that because of the greater risk-sharing between countries that financial liberalization entails, there should be no welfare losses. Greater risk-sharing should lead to greater smoothing of consumption and/or growth trajectories for developing countries. Yet there is widespread evidence of crises following li…
Comparative advantage, industrial policy and the World Bank
This paper provides a critical analysis of the World Bank's new thinking on industrial policy. After outlining the changing perspectives on industrial policy put forward by the World Bank over the last three decades, we argue that the bank's economists have taken one step forward (the approval for the enhanced role of the state) but also one – if not two – steps backward (by strong encouragement to countries to seek their current comparative adva…
Global Imbalances, Under-consumption and Over-borrowing
This contribution addresses the question of whether growth convergence can be sustained in the global economy without compromising welfare and without causing major crises. It employs a simplified stock-flow analytical framework to examine the proposition that the pace and pattern of global growth is conditioned by 'under-consumption' in some regions of the world and 'over-borrowing' in other regions. A baseline projection using the Cambridge-Alp…
Does Fast Growth in India and China Help or Harm US Workers
A major issue today is whether globalization of the world’s labour, capital and product markets, together with rapid economic growth in India and China, will have an adverse effect on workers in the US and other advanced countries. Simulations of different scenarios using the Cambridge‐Alphametrics Model of the World Economy indicate that, at a bloc‐disaggregated level, there are severe supply‐side constraints relating particularly to natural res…
Globalisation, instabilité et insécurité économique
Cet article fournit les chiffres de la volatilité de la croissance économique dans les pays pauvres et dans les pays riches et en fait l’analyse. Sa conclusion est que, alors que la volatilité a presque partout reculé dans les pays avancés, le tableau est beaucoup plus contrasté dans les pays en développement. L’article examine ensuite le cas de l’Inde où la volatilité du PIB est en baisse depuis une vingtaine d’années. Les chiffres montrent qu’e…

Will Services be the New Engine of Indian Economic Growth
This article revisits the role of manufacturing and services in economic development in the light of a number of new phenomena: a faster growth of services than of manufacturing in many developing countries; the emergence of 'de-industrialization' in several developing countries, at low levels of per capita income; jobless growth in the formal sector, even in fast-growing countries such as India; and a large expansion of the informal sector in de…

Financial Liberalisation, Stockmarkets and Economic Development
The paper concentrates on the role of the stock markets in the liberalisation process in DCs in the 1980s and 1990s, and explores, among other things, their effects on the financing of corporate growth. The observed financing patterns will be seen to contradict the predictions of most economic models, and are therefore surprising not just for the M.S, but also for other economists. At the macro-economic level, the paper considers foreign portfoli…

Corporate Profitability and the Dynamics of Competition in Emerging Markets
The paper presents time-series analyses of corporate profitability in seven leading developing countries (DCs) using the common methodology of the persistence of profitability (PP) studies and systematically compares the results with those for advanced countries (ACs). Surprisingly, both short- and long-term persistence of profitability for DCs are found to be lower than those for ACs. The paper concentrates on economic explanations for these fin…
Competition, Corporate Governance and Selection in Emerging Markets
The paper introduces the three articles in this Feature, concerned respectively with competition, corporate governance and selection in emerging markets. Apart from being important in their own right, it is shown how these topics have recently acquired urgent domestic and international policy significance. This overview also provides the intellectual background to the issues raised in the papers and examines their interrelationships in analytical…

Globalisation and the Regulation of Fdi
The key analytical and policy question examined in this paper is whether multinational companies and their overseas investment need to be regulated at the national and/or at the international level, in order to address market failures, and to enhance their potential contribution to world welfare. The paper examines, from a developing country perspective, two kinds of regulatory regimes: first, the current regime and second, a new regime proposed …
The Asian model
The East Asian countries achieved extraordinarily fast economic growth during the last four decades. Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to say that they represented the most successful case of rapid industrialisation and sustained economic growth in the history of mankind. An economy like South Korea’s was unequivocally industrially backward in the mid-1950s. Its per capita industrial output was at the time US$ 8 compared with US$ 7 for India an…
Pension reform, the stock market, capital formation and economic growth
Proposing far‐reaching reforms to pension systems, the World Bank has recently suggested that the existing pay‐as‐you‐go systems in many rich as well as poor countries should be replaced by fully funded, mandatory, preferably private pensions, as the main pillars of the new system. It argues that these reforms will not only benefit pensioners but also enhance savings, and promote capital formation and economic development. This paper provides a c…

"Full Employment Capitalism" and the Labor Party
"Full employment capitalism" will have, of course to develop new social and political institutions which will reflect the increased power of the working class. If capitalism can adjust itself to full employment, a fundamental reform will have been incorporated in it. If not, it will show itself an outmoded system which must be scrapped. But perhaps the fight for full employment may lead to fascism? Perhaps capitalism will adjust itself to full em…
Deceleration in World Economic Growth and Industrial Development in the Third World
UNCTAD's work in the area of manufactures has been guided by the idea that manufacturing is the engine of autonomous growth and development. Until recently industrialisation proceeded apace in the Third World. But many countries have built up a highly import?dependent industrial structure and have fared badly in the downturn in the world economy since the late 1970s. UNCTAD needs to shift the balance away from the expansion of industrial capacity…
