Book Description

Cinema in India is an entertainment medium that is interwoven into society and culture at large. It is clearly evident that continuous struggle and conflict at the personal as well as societal levels is depicted in cinema in India. It has become a reflection of society both in negative and positive ways. Hence, cinema has become an influential factor and one of the largest mass communication mediums in the nation. Social and Cultural Dynamics in Indian Cinema is an essential reference source that discusses cultural and societal issues including caste, gender, oppression, and social movements through cinema and particularly in specific language cinema and culture. Featuring research on topics such as Bollywood, film studies, and gender equality, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academicians, film studies students, and industry professionals seeking coverage on various aspects of regional cinema in India.

Book Description

The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian Philosophy of Language presents a systematic survey of philosophy of language in the Indian tradition, providing an up-to-date research resource for better understanding the history and future direction of the field. Each chapter addresses a particular philosophical problem from the viewpoint of seminal traditions and specific thinkers. Covering the philosophical insight on language found in the mainstream philosophies of Vyakarana, Mima?sa, Nyaya, Vedanta, Buddhism, and Alankarasastra, the chapters tackle crucial semantic and pragmatic questions such as the relation of the speaker to reality, the use of metalanguage, the distinction between sentences, elliptic statements, and figurative usages, and the impact of textual structures on the philosophical message. Complete with further reading suggestions and an annotated bibliography, this collection makes an important contribution to both Eastern and Western contemporary philosophy of language.

Book Description

Demand for quality higher education, is continuing to outpace the supply due to growing population of young people, gains in school education, growing middle class and their rising aspirations. At the same time, the country has a unique opportunity to convert this demographic surplus to its economic strength by providing its young people the right kind of skills. Thus, higher education now occupies a central position in the country's strategy for global competitiveness and inclusive growth. Steps have been initiated to augment supply, improve quality and fix problems. The National Knowledge Commission (NKC) has made several useful and important recommendations and the government has significantly increased funding during the Eleventh Five Year Plan. In the backdrop of these developments, Indian Higher Education: Envisioning the Future, describes the Indian higher education landscape. The author spells out the needs, identifies the gaps, and based on the lessons learnt from the experiences of other countries provides perspectives to shape its future.

Book Description

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and cognitive technologies have successfully been applied to various research domains, including computer vision, natural language processing, voice recognition, and more. In addition, AI with IoT has made a significant breakthrough and a shift in technical direction to achieve high efficiency and adaptability in a variety of new applications. On the other hand, network design and optimization for AI applications addresses a complementary topic, namely the support of AI-based systems through novel networking techniques, including new architectures, as well as performance models for IoT systems. IoT has paved the way to a plethora of new application domains, at the same time posing several challenges as a multitude of devices, protocols, communication channels, architectures, and middleware exist. Big data generated by these devices calls for advanced learning and data mining techniques to effectively understand, learn, and reason with this volume of information, such as cognitive technologies. Cognitive technologies play a major role in developing successful cognitive systems which mimic “cognitive” functions associated with human intelligence, such as “learning” and “problem solving.” Thus, there is a continuing demand for recent research in these two linked fields. The Handbook of Research on Innovations and Applications of AI, IoT, and Cognitive Technologies discusses the latest innovations and applications of AI, IoT, and cognitive-based smart systems. The chapters cover the intersection of these three fields in emerging and developed economies in terms of their respective development situation, public policies, technologies and intellectual capital, innovation systems, competition and strategies, marketing and growth capability, and governance and relegation models. These applications span areas such as healthcare, security and privacy, industrial systems, multidisciplinary sciences, and more. This book is ideal for technologists, IT specialists, policymakers, government officials, academics, students, and practitioners interested in the experiences of innovations and applications of AI, IoT, and cognitive technologies.

Book Description

This chapter has a dual purpose. In the first place, the authors provide a real-world example of interdisciplinary research by discussing the two chapter examples they worked on while editing a book full of multidisciplinary cases. The authors’ purpose is to provide a realistic picture of how the theoretical aim of interdisciplinary research might be realised in practise, in contrast to the numerous theoretical descriptions that have been published on the topic. The author gives the present conceptual understanding of the multidisciplinary before elaborating on the practical use of these ideas in light of the common restrictions that many academics encounter today while undertaking cooperative research. The book provides suggestions on how to improve cross-disciplinary work in the future and share their own experiences conducting interdisciplinary studies. Students’ expectations about their own Internet & computer skills and their capacity to complete online courses are explored in this book with research on online education self-efficacy. The relevance of culture in the workplace is shown by the fact that several studies have examined the connection between business culture and factors like productivity and lifespan. As well as having a significant impact on a broad variety of organisational processes, employees, & performance, it has long been seen as a critical component in integrating the various business cultures within corporate group organisation. This book aims to chart the history of the electrochemical science from its inception as a separate discipline to the present day.
