Death-worlds, Necropolitics and Decoloniality Colonial Negotiations in Mah
The boundaries of sovereignty are mostly relegated to modern and late modern political thoughts that focus on biopolitical and democratic theories. This paper marks a shift of sovereign subjectivity to the interstitial spaces of life and death of the colonial subjects. Through the study of the necropolitics of colonial control in the erstwhile French colony of Mah as narrated in the novel On the Banks of the Mayyazhi, this paper argues that colonial subjectivity and the idea of sovereignty have decentred itself from the traditional notions of political control and violence to newer avenues of life and death. The perusal of the decolonial approach to necropolitics will examine how colonial logic has shaped the idea of sovereignty. 2024 Economic and Political Weekly. All rights reserved. -
EEG Signals Acquisition and Processing of Mental Tasks for Controlling Smart Systems
With the help of this biosignal, we can create various kinds of interfaces. These interfaces were especially used for paralyzed individuals who have problems in the normal bio-sensor channels. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals play a vital role in semi-paralyzed and fully paralyzed individuals to make communication with their caretakers. EEG signals are used not only for paralyzed individuals, nowadays most of home appliances are designed due to their reliability and accuracy. EEG based Smart devices are very easy to operate because signals are generated by the human brain automatically whenever the task is performed by humans. Through this research, we discussed the basic methodology needed for interfacing the EEG signals with smart devices. From this paper, most of the researchers will be going to know how to connect the EEG signals with the smart systems to control the external devices and induce the researchers to apply the EEG signals in real time. 2023 IEEE. -

Ethical living and work self efficacy beliefs of academicians of higher education in ASIA: A key determinant of one's belief in one's ability to achieve the desired result in a precise state of affairs
Ethical academicians are perfectly virtuous. They always strive for greater virtue and follow strictly the moral stands of their profession. The ethical living and self-efficacy are important to them because of being fair and honest in their academics. Determinants of ethics include knowledge, values, attitude and intention. The domain-specific framework developed by Verbeke et al. (2004) has been considered as fundamental for identifying the dimensionality of work Self-efficacy and ethical challenges of academicians. A comprehensive literature review is undertaken regarding the concept of work Self-efficacy to assess workers' confidence and their ethical living in the workplace. This article examines theoretically and analytically the antecedent processes and information cues involved in the formation of work self-efficacy. Theoretical and numerical analysis of the key determinants of work self-efficacy increases the understanding of moral values, truthful fair and honest. Factors which decisively affect ethical living were identified from literature collected from the academicians who are working in the Five Regions of Asia-Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan) East Asia (China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau) South Asia (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, the Maldives) through Google classroom. Methods of Statistical Analysis of self-efficacy data are descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Kolmogorov-Smirvnos normality test and KruskalWallis one-way analysis of variance and Principal Component Analysis. Positive, mastery experiences give academicians a sense of accomplishment when they have faced a challenge ethically. Positive Zeal during Academic interaction, vicarious experiences that occur when academician see others succeed and feel an increased sense of their own ability to succeed. Sincere & deeper self, mingling with students, Social persuasion increase a teachers sense of confidence and ability to succeed. A proper plan of action has drawn special attention, and inferences pertaining to future research are discussed at the end of the critique. 2019, Sciedu Press. All rights reserved. -
Environmental Management: Pragmatic Suitability of Low Cost Activated Carbon in Lead (II)Ion Removal by Continuous Mode of Adsorption
Heavy metals such as chromium, lead, and arsenic are usually present in trace amounts in natural waters but many of them are toxic even at very low concentrations. An increasing quantity of heavy metals in our resources is currently an area of greater concern, especially since a large number of industries are discharging their metal containing effluents into freshwater without any adequate treatment. Activated carbons show a significant ability in removing heavy metal ions from an aqueous solution by adsorption, which has been examined by many researchers. Activated carbon derived from Manilkarazapota tree-wood (MZTWAC), which was found to be a suitable adsorbent for the removal of lead ions through continuous adsorption mode, was examined in this paper. A breakthrough curve has been plotted to find the effect of initial concentration and adsorbent bed height in the adsorption of lead (II)ion through MZTWAC. The breakthrough time and the saturation time increased as the initial concentration increased from 40 mg.L-1 to 60 mg.L-1. The saturation time was in the incremental mode when the bed height was increased from 5 cm to 7 cm bed thickness for 40 mg.L-1 concentration. Adams-Boharts model perfectly fits with this fixed-bed column in the removal of lead(II) from an aqueous solution using MZTWAC. Activated carbon derived from MZTWAC is better suited for the purpose of detoxifying metal-contaminated wastewater. 2021 Technoscience Publications. All rights reserved. -
