Public Service Broadcasting in India A Study of Doordarshan
Television in India has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1959 with only some form of experimental broadcasts to becoming a flourishing sector with more than 800 channels today. Doordarshan, the public service broadcaster started off with socio-educational experiments have become a multi-channel network with an international channel, multiple regional channels catering to diverse linguistic and ethnic groups, and seven all-India channels. Rommani Sen Shitak examines the changes that have taken place in public service broadcasting in India w.r.t Doordarshan in the realm of policies, financing, programming, and organizational aspects. Supported by in-depth interviews conducted with broadcasters, media academics, and journalists, the author provides a detailed analysis of the strategies implemented by Doordarshan when faced with its biggest challenge in the form of competition from private networks.

Offenes Erzählen
Der Dokumentarfilm gilt in Indien als kommerziell schwer auswertbares Genre - und stellt dennoch ein Feld dar, in welchem Experimente entstehen können. Angesichts der gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche untersucht Ulrike Mothes den aktuellen indischen Dokumentarfilm hinsichtlich seiner filmästhetischen Form und betrachtet seine Positionierung zwischen lokalen und globalen Bezugnahmen, politischem Diskurs und kulturellem Ausdruck. Ihr besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der Beschreibung offener Erzählstrategien, welche die Annahme von Wahrheit als solcher hinterfragen und mehrere Deutungen eines Themas zulassen.
Advances in Sustainable Polymers
This book provides a systematic overview of the processing and applications of sustainable polymers. The volume covers recent advances in biomedical, food packaging, fuel cell, membrane, and other emerging applications. The book begins by addressing different sections of biomedical application including use of carbohydrate-based therapeutics, nanohybrids, nanohydrogels, bioresorbable polymers and their composites, polymer-grafted nanobiomaterials for biomedical devices and implants, nanofibres, and others. The second part of this book discusses various processing and packaging materials for food packaging applications. The last section discusses other emerging applications, including using microbial fuel cells for waste water treatment, microfluidic fuel cells for low power applications, among others. This volume will be relevant to researchers working to improve the properties of bio-based materials for their advanced application and wide commercialization.
Jaina Studies
Interest for Jain studies has increased considerably in the last decades. Scholars will be thankful to the organizers of the 12th World Sanskrit Conference who, for the first time in such a conference, planned a special panel on this field. The ten papers collected in this volume show the importance, abundance and variety of topics that can be considered. Philological analysis still proves useful, whether it concentrates on one particular work or on clusters of texts. A study of the strategy of narrative and predication needs a historical approach, kavya literature lends itself to renewed and indepth interpretations. Finally the reader will observe the constant renewal of Jainism, as some new literary genre or a new sect are seen to have gained momentum in modern times.
