Assumptions of complete rationality and complete information in economics: A critique /
Economists conceived the discipline of economics to be a science of social relations. In fact they believed that social relations between individuals are moderated and regulated. The Physiocratic, Classical and Neo - classical school which firmly believed in human liberty considered this moderation to be a matter of self regulation1 and also that the laws controlling human association to be as clear as the laws of geometry. Contrary to this economists belonging to the utopian common wealth, and the Marxists school believed the same can be dealt out only through social control by the state.2 Irrespective of ones allegiance to any school of economic thought, human behaviour is central to the study of economics and to its place in knowledge structures as a social science. -
Rebuilding the Capabilities for Post COVID-19 Pandemic: Issues and Challenges of Bangalore Model of Development
The pace of urbanization has achieved considerable momentum in recent years with 34.93 per cent of India's population living in urban areas. However, the COVID - 19 pandemic has severely affected urban development with adverse effects on people's mobility, consumption level, health and poverty. Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka and the third largest city in India, has a population of 11 million and contributes more than one third of the state's GDP. The expansion of certain sectors including Information Technology, infrastructure and spread of educational institutions has fueled Bangalore's rapid growth in the past three decades which has made it a regional superpower in India, if not South Asia. This paper explores the unique features of the 'Bangalore Model of Development' as a regional development model and provides a systematic introspection of its capabilities. It discusses the impact of the pandemic on the key driving forces of Bangalore Model and assesses the current government measures. The situation analysis with the policy prescriptions would help to strengthen and sustain the urban system during the postpandemic times. 2022 IEEE. -
Corporate social responsibility: Myth and reality
Companies nowadays strive to be socially conscious in the way they do business by taking up corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities besides maintaining profitability. Similarly consumers modulate their purchase choices to be made up of products that have been produced and marketed through socially responsible processes. But the congruence between achieving gain and being responsible to the community has ethical contradictions due to the presence of self interest. This paper proposes to examine the dimensions of this conflict and towards the end suggest a new orientation that foregrounds social responsibility relative to profit or gain. 2013 Journal of Dharma: Dharmaram Journal of Religions and Philosophies (Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram, Bangalore). -
Re-evaluating Emperor Asoka a relational contract theory explanation for economic transformation
Emperor Asoka's rein is considered an important era in ancient Indian history because of the vastness of his empire and the Buddhist elements in his administration. We propose that in addition to these reasons for highlighting Asoka's rein, there is an important economic argument as well. It was during the century or two around Asoka's rule that the subcontinent's economy underwent a transformation from a simple pastoralagricultural economy to a more mature economy with large scale production, specialisation and trade. The element that Asoka introduced into the social relations in his empire is Buddha's Dhamma, which formed and strengthened relational contracts. A key feature of relational contracts is incompleteness of arrangements that is managed by social iterations and formal and informal enforcement mechanisms. Each of these is reflected in Asoka's edicts, the earliest surviving writing samples from the subcontinent. Asoka planned for these measures to ensure political and economic stability. In addition, he also laid the most important foundational material in a rather unique way for all future economic transformations. 2017 Journal of Dharma: Dharmaram Journal of Religions and Philosophies (DVK, Bangalore). -

Computational Methods to Predict Suicide Ideation among Adolescents
Suicide has been a prominent cause of death worldwide, regardless of age, sex, geography, and so on, and predominantly suicide among teens, increased as the years have passed. Suicide ideation, suicide risk, suicide attempts have been studied extensively, and the most common cause has been identified as depression, followed by familial concerns, hereditary factors, stress, avoidance fear, and a variety of other variables. When visited by a doctor, most adolescents are unaware of their mental state and hence do not take action on their own or are not assisted by family or peer members to overcome their fear of social stigma or the treatment they must undergo. According to popular belief, early treatment and detection are the most effective ways to reduce the risk of suicide. As a result, the focus of this study is to illustrate some of the computational strategies utilized in deep learning and machine learning fields to detect kids at risk of suicide 2022 IEEE. -

Characterisation of Sn-Cl co-doped ?-Ga2O3 thin films deposited via spray pyrolysis and their application in UV detector devices
Ga2O3, an ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxide, is currently emerging as a promising candidate for various applications, such as power devices, solar-blind UV detectors, high temperature oxygen sensors and biomedical imaging. One significant limitation hindering the application of Ga2O3 as a wide-bandgap semiconductor is its poor conductivity. In this work, we investigate whether doping with tin and chlorine can mitigate this condition. Sn-Cl co-doped ?-Ga2O3 thin films are deposited on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis technique. The deposited films are subjected to comprehensive analysis, including structural, optical and morphological measurements using techniques like X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and EDX studies. Electrical properties are assessed using the four-probe method and Hall measurements. The best conductivity of 8.86 ??1m?1 is observed when 8.68 at% of Sn and 3.37 at% of Cl were co-doped into Ga2O3 (S(3)) and its optical band gap is calculated to be 4.65 eV. This is about five orders of improvement in conductivity as compared to that of pure Ga2O3 thin film deposited by the same method. Furthermore, we have constructed a deep UV detector utilizing doped ?-Ga2O3 thin films as the semiconducting absorbing layer. The detector demonstrated the highest responsivity of 2.54 10?4 A/W at 260 nm and the corresponding specific detectivity is 1.4 109 Jones. The current research validates the potential of Sn-Cl co-doped ?-Ga2O3 thin film as an excellent choice for UV detector application. 2024 Elsevier B.V. -
