New ideas of development, new policies, and emphasis on their efficient execution began in the 21st century, but the fruits of development are still evading the majority of rural populations, especially women. There is now a dualism about sex (men and women). While official surveys do not show the poor health conditions of women appreciably, there is widespread evidence that interaction between many social forces outside the health sector inhibits jointly the chances of women for improving their health status. Researchers thought that women’s needs were not recognized by the health care system. Women play an essential role in the process of economic growth. How an economy can flourish if w...
This handbook is a comprehensive source of information, analysis and directions in disaster studies. It goes beyond the oft-explored issues of management and science related to the topic and explores policies, governance, law and decision-making combined with the processes of implementation and enforcement, all the while integrating the latest science and technology updates related to the topic, such as artificial intelligence and early warning systems. It brings together studies which relate to sociology, politics and institutional economics, which work under the impact of resource availability, issues of leadership and international laws. Disasters are trans-boundary and disaster studie...

"Fundamentals of Power Electronics" is an all-inclusive textbook that aims to provide students, architects, and professionals with a thorough grasp of power electronics. This book provides a solid groundwork for the subject by outlining key ideas, theories, and practical applications. The book commences by furnishing readers with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of power electronics, with an emphasis on the criticality of efficiently converting and regulating electrical power. Power electronic circuits rely on a number of fundamental components, and this book dives into those components, explaining their features and functions. Power conversion topologies such as buck, boost, buck...
We have all been brought up listening to stories from our grandparents, parents, and many others. Stories have an innate capacity to mould us, to shape our thinking, to inspire us, to motivate us, to coach us and impress our subconscious mind metaphorically. Storytelling is, and has always been, an important part of the solution for simulating positive behavioural changes. And when the stories are real-life stories, the benefits get amplified manifold. The emotional strings attached to real human stories bring credibility, engagement, and buy-in. The second book in the AKHYAYIKAS series (Akhyayika means a fable, a short episodic narrative, or an anecdote) is a compendium of 100 short stories of people who dared to dream. Given the rough twist of fate, they decided to pick themselves up and make successes of themselves in their chosen life purpose. All the characters in the stories have one thing in common: they believed in the power of their dreams. The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose!
The book gives an insight into the theoretical background, conceptual understanding, latest developments, and applications in the field of pharmaceuticals in general and drug design, discovery, biosystems, and biomedical and drug delivery technologies in particular. Knowledge is drawn from various disciplines such as Chemistry, Biology, Material Science and Engineering, Statistics, Biomedicine, and Genetics . A host of applications like bio-imaging, novel biological agents, testing, characterization and validation of drugs, computer-based models in drug design, and application of statistical tools in data analysis, design, and development of drug delivery systems, and ecosystems are dealt with in detail. The said book undoubtedly confirms the requirements of the postgraduate students, research scholars, academicians, scientists, and researchers from the academia, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical engineering domain. The book covers a conceptual understanding of the exploration of drugs in tandem with intended uses, sound ecosystem development, and carriers for drug and supplement delivery.
In recent years, the exploration of marine ecosystems has unveiled a plethora of bioactive compounds with remarkable therapeutic potential. The oceans, covering over 70% of the Earth’s surface, are a rich source of biodiversity, harbouring organisms that have evolved unique biochemical pathways to survive in extreme conditions. These marine metabolites, produced by marine microorganisms, invertebrates, and algae, have demonstrated significant pharmacological activities, ranging from antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory to anticancer and neuroprotective properties. Marine Metabolites in Disease Management compiles and synthesizes current research on the role of marine-derived compounds in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. This work is a collaborative effort, bringing together insights from leading researchers and clinicians who have dedicated their careers to the study of marine natural products. Through their contributions, the gap between marine biotechnology and clinical applications is bridged, providing a comprehensive resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers.
This book is prepared for Under-graduate agriculture students of ‘Fundamental of Agricultural Extension and Human Ethics’ as per revised curriculum in Extension Education for B.Sc. Ag. degree programme. It covers the whole content related with recent schemes, extension developmental programme with new trends in agriculture extension, self-awareness, motivation, self exploration, mission, planning, designing the programme. Agriculture education has undergone a change in its contents, new approaches or schemes. As vast research knowledge is being generated, new areas of learning in agriculture are being explored, and teaching approaches are constantly modified. The 5th Dean’s committee recommended the present course curricula and this book is prepared as per the new course content. Some additional but important contents are also included in the book for the benefit of the students.
This volume provides a comprehensive account of the linkages between environment and sustainable development in society from an interdisciplinary perspective. With its case studies from across the world, including countries such as India, Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the United States, Croatia, Italy, Brazil, Japan, and Kenya, it explores critical environmental issues concerning energy justice, queer ecology, mountain cultures, incarceration, energy strategies, mining tourism, pollution control mechanisms, social impacts of oil and gas production, contract farming, gender mainstreaming, climate change, and droughts and adaptation strategies along with literacy, leisure, well-being, de...
