Development of International Relations theory in India: Traditions, contemporary perspectives and trajectories

Este artículo aspira a ser una revisión del estado de la Teoría de las Relaciones Internacionales (TRI) en India. En él, se analizan tres aspectos de la TRI. El primero se refiere a la posibilidad de una tradición de pensamiento de temas de importancia teórica universal. El segundo se refiere al análisis de la reflexión académica sobre un principio importante de la política exterior india, a saber, la no alineación y los límites de su teorización. El último aspecto trata sobre las inquietudes de los académicos indios en cuanto a teorización desde los años noventa. Con respecto al primer aspecto, en este artículo se sostiene que existe una tradición de pensamiento india en temas como el orden, la justica y el cosmopolitismo, aunque no haya sido expresada en el lenguaje de la TRI. En cuanto a la no alineación, en el artículo se sostiene que, si bien no dio lugar a amplias formulaciones teóricas, planteó una serie de cuestiones de primer orden que requieren una mayor teorización. Finalmente, se sugiere que los temas recientemente tratados en la TRI por parte de los académicos indios, reflejan una coyuntura más receptiva para ese tipo de trabajo, tanto en términos de la posición cambiante que ocupa India en el sistema mundial cuanto en el reconocimiento a métodos más eclécticos y a las posibilidades que ofrece el amplio mundo de las ciencias socialesThe article seeks to do an audit of the state of International Relations theory (IRT) in India. It examines three facets of IRT in this connection. The first relates to the possibility of a tradition of thinking on issues of universal theoretical significance. The second pertains to an exploration of scholarly reflection on an important principle of Indian foreign policy, namely, non-alignment and the limits of theorizing it. The final facet examines the concerns that inform theorization by Indian scholars since the 1990s. In regard to the first facet, the article argues that there exists an Indian tradition of thinking on issues of order, justice and cosmopolitanism, even though it may not have been expressed in the language of IRT. With regard to non-alignment, the article argues that while it did not result in broader theoretical formulations, it raised a number of first order issues for further theorizing. Finally, it suggests that recent IRT invocations by Indian scholars reflect a more receptive conjuncture for such work, both in terms of India’s own changing stature in the world system as well as an acknowledgement of more eclectic methods and possibilities in the broader world of the social science

Identifying Cancer Subtypes Using Unsupervised Deep Learning

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most fatal malignant type of brain tumor with a very poor prognosis with a median survival of around one year. Numerous studies have reported tumor subtypes that consider different characteristics on individual patients, which may play important roles in determining the survival rates in GBM. In this study, we present a pathway-based clustering method using Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), called R-PathCluster, for identifying unknown subtypes with pathway markers of gene expressions. In order to assess the performance of R-PathCluster, we conducted experiments with several clustering methods such as k-means, hierarchical clustering, and RBM models with different input data. R-PathCluster showed the best performance in clustering longterm and short-term survivals, although its clustering score was not the highest among them in experiments. R-PathCluster provides a solution to interpret the model in biological sense, since it takes pathway markers that represent biological process of pathways. We discussed that our findings from R-PathCluster are supported by many biological literatures. Keywords. Glioblastoma multiforme, tumor subtypes, clustering, Restricted Boltzmann Machin

Play Behavior in Infant Western Lowland Gorillas (\u3cem\u3eGorilla gorilla gorilla\u3c/em\u3e) at the Lincoln Park Zoo

An ethological investigation was made on a group of western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at the Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago. Focal animal sampling and all-occurrences sampling were used to collect data during the months of June and July 2000. Qualitative observations were made of the general behavioral patterns of the group, which included feeding and drinking behavior, resting, sleeping, nest construction, grooming behavior, group behavior, dominance hierarchies, zoo-keeper and public oriented behavior, and behavior in novel stimuli situations. Except for female dominance hierarchies, all behavioral patterns were found to be similar to those reported for feral gorillas. The primary focus of this study was on play behavior in infant western lowland gorillas. Play was categorized into three types: solitary play, social play, and mother-infant play. In my study group, age, gender, and type of rearing had no influence on the percentage of time spent by each individual in these three play categories. All of the infants spent most of their time engaged in solitary play and social play. Mother-infant play was found to be almost non-existent by the time a gorilla infant reached two years of age. Social play peaked during the early afternoon and consisted mainly of contact play. Infants spent a greater amount of time engaged in object play, as compared to locomotor and self-directed play

Career Engine

People\u27s education is so widely available in this age of tough competition that openings for them in jobs are getting harder to find. Companies need people in their fields with a solid educational foundation and maximum years of job experience. Finding people who are talented, intelligent, and competent enough to be given a position at that time is challenging. Companies are working harder than ever to find people who can meet their needs.[1] Thousands of applicants are competing for one job opening. When considering these difficulties, one may come up with a strategy or approach that can help manage and control them while also simplifying the work. The goal of this project is to find that one thing that will not only connect job searchers and employers but also streamline the online application process. Here, the hiring procedure is managed by the system. This project will make it possible for job seekers from various walks of life to apply for a position in the organization for a potentially exciting job opening. Job seekers can utilize the application to update their profile information, competencies, and skill set. When job seeker applies for a position, they create an account and are referred to as the applied user.[1] User will get in touch with the recruiter to get updates if user were qualified. The recruiters, on the other hand, have the opportunity to post any new job openings they may have in their companies, interact with applicants if necessary, and interview qualified applicants. This system will be entirely under the admin\u27s control, with the lone exception of the evaluation procedure, which is company-specific and hence unpredictable. The management of users, roles, and job listings is also included. Although this is a modernized and improved version of the current process or system, it is by no means a novel concept. It\u27s anticipated that this application will go live in the first week of December 2022

Behavioral Indicators of Poor Welfare in Shelter Dogs

We studied behavioral indicators of poor welfare in shelter dogs. Our research question was: How is the welfare of shelter dogs affected by length of stay at a shelter, age, sex, and breed. Data were collected on 18 dogs from October 2016 to March 2017 at a small private shelter in Marietta, GA. Data were collected in 15-minute sessions when the dogs were in their indoor enclosures. No significant differences were found in time spent in abnormal behaviors among dogs that were at the shelter for less than 1 month, 1-6 months, and longer than 6 months, between males and females, between different breeds, and between younger and older dogs. Small sample sizes, individual differences, and an enriched shelter environment could have contributed to the lack of significant findings
