Alphabet reduction and distributed vector representation based method for classification of antimicrobial peptides
Publisher: IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, 2020
Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs) also known as host defence peptides are an essential part of innate immunity. AMPs are emerging as promising agents to multidrug resistant pathogens owing to their size, toxicity and biological activities. Effective identification of AMPs using computational method will be helpful in designing new antimicrobial agents for further study. Sequence based analysis for AMPs have been there for a while, where different methods have been proposed using amino acid

Panic During COVID-19 Pandemic! A Qualitative Investigation Into the Psychosocial Experiences of a Sample of Indian People
Publisher: Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
The outbreak of COVID-19 has spread to the entire world and is severely affecting social psychology. We conducted semi-structured interviews on 59 subjects from India to investigate the impact of information, misinfodemics (spread of wrong information), and isolation on their psychology. We perform qualitative analysis on the data. Our findings reveal that flow of information leads to anxiety, caution, and knowledge; while misinfodemics cause panic, distrust, and confusion; and isolation creates cognitive dissonance (the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes) and adaptability among masses. The encouraging part of our findings is that, as of now, the situation is far from the state of depression. Practically, our research calls upon the government to support the masses in fighting through the crisis by focusing on pointed psychological counseling. We contribute theoretically to the body of knowledge in the field of social psychology, which is studying the psychological interventions to avoid panic amid pandemic. Future researchers in the area would do well by detailing the psychological interventions required to contain the negative impacts of the pandemic on social psychology.

Arsenic in drinking water sources in the Middle Gangetic Plains in Bihar: An assessment of the depth of wells to ensure safe water supply
Publisher: Groundwater for Sustainable Development, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
This study assesses the depth of tubewell and the associated concentration of arsenic (As) in drinking water within the arsenic-affected regions in Bihar, India. A survey of 935 tubewell from two As-contaminated blocks in Bihar were conducted to collect and test the water samples. The results demonstrate that As concentration is mainly found in shallow tubewells (14–49 m deep), which is the main source of drinking water in the region in deep tubewells (>49 m deep), have arsenic concentration er contamination and its associated health impacts. Therefore, awareness through various channels among the affected stakeholders will be helpful for the households to change their water sources (Saha et al., 2018, 2019).

The influence of religion on the humane orientation of entrepreneurs
Publisher: Journal of Small Business Management, 2021
Abstract
This study examines the impact of religion on the humane orientation of entrepreneurs. Embracing a holistic view of humane entrepreneurship (HumEnt), we conducted qualitative semistructured interviews with 16 entrepreneurs across four of India’s major religions: Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, and Sikhism. We examined to what extent HumEnt manifests among entrepreneurs across the four religious groups and whether a specific religion influences different dimensions of HumEnt. Our results indicate that HumEnt matters in entrepreneurial ventures, and across industries. We found deep connections between HumEnt and religion, with entrepreneurs indicating a pervasive influence of religion on all dimensions of the HumEnt construct. Yet, we also noticed significant differences across the four religious groups (Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Jains) as regards the impact of religion on different dimensions of HumEnt. While religion had the highest impact on the sustainability orientation (SO) dimension of HumEnt, its impact on the other two dimensions, entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and humane resource orientation (HRO), were far more nuanced. Our study contributes to the emerging literature on HumEnt, especially at the intersection of religion, entrepreneurship, and strategic orientations.

Match statistics significant to win in initial and intense rounds of a tennis tournament
Publisher: Trends in sports sciences, 2020
Abstract
This paper analyses the initial and intense rounds of the 2020 Australian Open Men’s Singles matches on 14 match statistics. The findings show that the statistics which are important to winning in the initial rounds are not the same as those for winning in the intense rounds. In the initial rounds, the match winner performed better than the loser on receiving points won, second serve to win, first serve to win, breakpoints won, net points won, winners, total points won, unforced errors, aces, double faults, fastest serve speed, and average first-serve speed. However, to win the intense rounds, the winner performed better than the loser on first serve to win, receiving points won and net points won. The findings help the player and the coach to develop skills and techniques to devise a player strategy during the initial rounds and the intense rounds to win the tournament

An empirical analysis of the effect of floods on rural agricultural wages across Indian states
Publisher: World Development Perspectives, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
This study employs a Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation method to examine the effect of floods on rural agricultural wages, controlling for key wage determinants for 15 major Indian states over the period 1983–2011. The PMG estimates suggest that damages due to floods have a positive impact on annual agricultural wages and agricultural wages in flood months in the long run but an adverse effect in the short run. In other words, our findings indicate that annual agricultural wages and agricultural wages in flood months increase by 0.164 percent and 0.149 percent, respectively, in the long run, but they decline by 0.025 percent and 0.026 percent, respectively, in the short run when damages due to floods increase by 10 percent. Moreover, we find that better employment opportunities in rural non-agricultural sectors significantly increase agricultural wages in the long run. Our empirical findings are robust to alternative flood measures in terms of area affected by floods. In sum, we conclude that floods have differential impacts on agricultural wages in the short and long run, after taking into account the key wage determinants.

This case describes a situation in which InterGlobe Aviation Ltd. (IGAL) has been experiencing multiple engine snags because of the faulty Pratt and Whitney engines. In a span of two years between June 2018 and January 2020, IGAL faced around 22 snags. IGAL is known to be one of the safest airlines in the world, the engine issue has tainted its reputation. In October 2019, in just one week IA faced four-engine snags, forcing the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to come out with a guideline in November 2019. The faulty engines were to be replaced by January 31, 2020. If IA failed to complete the task by the given deadline then IA would have to ground around 70–80 aircraft. IA was way behind the deadline when on January 13, 2020, they received an email from DGCA mentioning an extension of the deadline to May 31, 2020. The purpose of this case is to provide an opportunity for the participants to take into consideration the data given for IA and make assumptions and resolve the dilemma through which Ronojoy Dutta (Dutta), the Chief executive officer if IA is going through.

The Impact of Covid-19 and non-pharmaceutical interventions on energy returns worldwide
Publisher: Journal of Sustainable Cities and Societies, 2021
Abstract
|
Links
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented global economic and social crisis, triggering various interventions by governments across geographic regions. The pandemic is significantly affecting all aspects of life, including the energy sector. In this paper, we investigate the bearing of COVID-19 and non-pharmaceutical interventions on the energy returns across 104 global energy indices in 34 countries over the period 1 January to 1 November 2020. Our analyses show that the daily growth in both confirmed cases and cases of death caused by COVID-19 has significant negative direct effects on global energy returns. We also find evidence that various non-pharmaceutical interventions have a significant impact on global energy returns. More specifically, we find that workplace closure and restrictions on internal movement have a positive and significant impact on global energy returns. In contrast, cancellation of public events, closing down public transport, and public information campaigns have a negative and significant impact on them. School closures and international travel controls are, however, negative but insignificant. For energy security, the cornerstone of every economy, our results support the argument for the urgent need for massive investment in the energy sector to boost economic activities, create sustainable jobs, and ensure the resilience of the economies hit by the pandemic.

Living solo at midlife: Can the pandemic de-stigmatize living alone in India?
Publisher: Journal of Aging Studies, 2020
Abstract
|
Links
In this piece I argue that the pandemic with its emphasis on social distancing as a desirable civic norm can reconfigure popular understanding of mature female singlehood in India- a condition that is often described in the language of lacks and social failures. The pandemic, I argue, has reaffirmed the everyday practices of upper middle-class professional women (ages 50–60 years) lending them as positive agentic subjects who are invested in self-actualization and an appreciation of intimate solitude. Overall, by specifically focusing on subjectivities and social aspirations of my interlocutors during the pandemic, I illuminate ways in which middle aged selfhood is lived in all its fragility, ambivalence and emergent possibilities.

Compensatory consumption and reprieve from trauma-related negative emotions: An Indian context
Publisher: International Journal of Marketing Semiotics, 2020
Abstract
Trauma victims experience intense negative emotions during and post-trauma. These negative emotions may last for a long time and disrupt the normal functioning of an individual. Exposure to a traumatic event often leads to a threatened self-identity. The role of compensatory consumption in alleviating negative emotions and protecting from threats to self-identity has been addressed in the extant literature. The present study aims to explore the compensatory consumption behavior of trauma victims that stems from negative emotions and threats to selfidentity. The study also aims to understand the emotional changes and outcomes of this consumption as experienced by traumatized subjects. In-depth interviews were used as the primary data-collection method, aimed at eliciting thick descriptions from the respondents. The findings are discussed with regard to their practical and theoretical implications, as well as potential avenues for future research.
