...PAPER 28 THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT FROM THE LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAY READING LIST: 2012-13 C. A. Bayly cab1002@cam.ac.uk 1 The History of The Indian Subcontinent From The Late Eighteenth Century To The Present Day A fifth of the world's population lives in the Indian subcontinent. While today the region’s place in the global world order is widely recognised, this is in fact only the most recent chapter in a longer history. This paper offers an understanding of the part played by the Indian subcontinent role and its people in the making of the modern world. From the decline of the great empire of the Mughals and the rise of British hegemony, to the rise of nationalism, the coming of independence and partition, the consolidation of new nation states despite regional wars and conflicts, and the emergence of India as the largest democracy in the world, this paper is a comprehensive and analytical survey of the subcontinent's modern history. The dynamic and complex relationships between changing forms of political power and religious identities, economic transformations, and social and cultural change are studied in the period from 1757 to 2007. In normal circumstances students will be given 6 supervisions in groups of 1 or 2. Key themes and brief overview: The paper begins by examining the rise of British power in the context of economic developments indigenous to southern Asia; it analyses the role played by Indian polities and social groups...

In this brief essay, however, we will attempt to look into the financial wing of the comoany, and try to trace the evolution of the service which the relatively young division offers, in a proper timeline format. The year 1985 – St. Michael Financial Service is launched. Starting with 8 staff, the comapnay launched its forst service, the Chargecard. Three years later, in 1988, the company decides to change its name to Marks and Spencer Financial Service Limited. Next year onwards, the comay starts giving out Personal loans. The service is instantly a hit, and is one of the most sought after service offered by Marks and Spencer. The most important benefit of M&S Personal loan is that you can literally use the money wherever and however you want to, and the borrowing limit is also set to a whopping £25,000. Surprisingly enough, if the market is thoroughly studied, M&S, regardless of whether this is a strategic ploy or not, kept its interest rate lower than much of its competitor, thus actually gaining the fancy of the mass. The repayment period of M&S...

...Maryland In press Keywords: discipline, domain, learning, history, knowledge, mathematics, reading, science, writing. Abstract The roots of current disciplines and domains of study reach well back in history. An exploration of their development shows that these areas of knowledge have not only reflected cultural changes but have also influenced societies, especially through formal educational systems. Besides being characterized by their focus on a particular part of the world, disciplines are also distinguished by a specific way of thinking about their respective domains of study. Psychological research has identified several features of these pathways to knowledge (e.g., reading, writing, history, mathematics, and science) that generally define the landscape of academic practice. Although educational psychologists’ interest in how knowledge develops within specific domains has fluctuated across time, formal education throughout the world is organized around particular fields of studies and students soon come to characterize their experience of school in terms of subject matters. Thus, in education, domains seem to make a difference. The term knowledge domain refers to the part of the world investigated by a specific discipline. In other words, the domain can be characterized as the object (e.g., plants, numbers, or the past) of a specific body of knowledge (e.g., botany, mathematics, or history). Herein, we offer a survey of the development of increasingly...

...Patrick Sullivan HSCI 331 Journal Critique The Potential for Glycemic Control Monitoring and Screening for diabetes at Dental Visits Using Oral Blood: By: Shiela M. Strauss, Mary T. Rosedale, Michael A. Pesce, David M. Rindskopf, Navjot Kaur, Caroline M. Juterbock, Mark S. Wolff, Dolores Malaspina, and Ann Danoff Vol. 105, No. 4, pp. 796-801. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2014.302357 Diabetes has become a major problem in the United States. More and more Americans are affected each day because simple healthy lifestyle routines are not met. There are many undiagnosed Americans who do not know that they have or are susceptible to diabetes due to family history of the disease or their very own dietary disorientation. Glycemic control, a way to monitor blood sugar through diet and blood source, has proven to help people with diabetes and those who are pre-diabetic. The major public health issue which this research concerns is how to get early diagnosis and treatment through a more primary intervention for those who already have or are susceptible to diabetes. The study is important because Type 2 diabetes and other forms of the disease are preventable. Patients can only be helped if they are diagnosed, understand susceptibility, and are aware of the health problem. There is a known fact that most patients visit their dental provider more often than a primary care provider (PCP), some reasons being that dental visits are inexpensive and less invasive. The objective...

...©2010 International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 - 8887) Volume 1 – No. 17 Routing Approaches in Delay Tolerant Networks: A Survey R. J. D'Souza National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India Johny Jose National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India ABSTRACT Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) have evolved from Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). It is a network, where contemporaneous connectivity among all nodes doesn’t exist. This leads to the problem of how to route a packet from one node to another, in such a network. This problem becomes more complex, when the node mobility also is considered. The researchers have attempted to address this issue for over a decade. They have found that communication is possible in such a challenged network. The design of routing protocol for such networks is an important issue. This work surveys the literature and classifies the various routing approaches. discontinuity in the network. There are also methods that have employed additional mobile nodes, to provide better message delivery. Researchers are even exploring how the social interaction of humans can be utilized for routing in a DTN. This survey has made an extensive study of the various routing strategies taken by the researchers in the past few years. We have classified them based on the type of knowledge used for routing. 2. FLOODING BASED APPROACHES Knowledge about the network helps in deciding the best next hop. It can happen that the...
