Taxonomy In India In The 21st Century: Call For A Digital Revival

The Biodiversity of the planet is under threat due to various reasons. For the conservation and management of the bio-resources we need to precisely identify a species, so that the species can be accessed and managed accordingly. This is the very first basic step every taxonomist has to take. Though Traditional taxonomy has been used in systematics for over 250 years with the identification of more than 1.75 million species, in many countries as in India, traditional taxonomy is yet to adopt the latest molecular techniques available for a better and accurate identification of taxa. Enhanced taxonomic infrastructure and research tools can certainly allow Indian taxonomists to speed up the process of species exploration, description and classification which will enable the World scientific community to get access to India's flora and fauna dynamically without excuses of reduced funding or dearth of taxonomists for not mapping the biological diversity of India. This article overviews the latest digital advancements to revolutionize taxonomical research in India in the current century.

(Central) Auditory Processing Disorders: Issues and Challenges in India

AbstractIndividuals with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder, or (C)APD, form a heterogeneous group. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has listed the auditory processes that could be assessed to enable diagnosis of (C)APD. In India, detailed audiological assessment and intervention for auditory processing problems is being conducted in relatively few centers. The linguistic diversity of India presents with a unique challenge in providing clinical services and having complete test batteries in all spoken languages. In recent years, (C)APD has generated significant interest among speech and hearing professionals in India, with several leading institutes making efforts toward filling various lacunae in this area.

Incidents of Genocide in India

The article "Incidents of Genocide in Independent India" jots down the incidents of Genocide in India from the date of independence till date. India witnessed the first genocide at the time of partition immediately after the independence. The two-nation theory led to the division of the country and the Hindus in India and Muslims in Bengal migrated to their destined homelands. In this process several lives were lost on both sides and women were kidnapped and raped and at times murdered. Kashmir is an unending and unresolved problem between both the nations. Razakar movement in the State of Hyderabad, the Mumbair riots, the annihilation of Sikhs after the assassination of Mrs. Gandhi and Godhra incidents are elaborately discussed. The author suggests for a strong domestic law to safeguard the unity in diversity of India .

Development and validation of job burnout scale in the Indian context

Ever since the term 'burnout' was coined to describe a state of chronic emotional fatigue, this phenomenon has become the focus of much research interest. Employee burnout is a topic of major interest for management researchers because it has consequential implications for both individuals and organisations. The objective of the paper is to develop a standardised scale to measure job burnout in the Indian context. India has stood as the most dominant outsourcing destination in the world and call centres form the most important segment of the outsourcing industry. Thus, the scale is validated with a sample of 303 customer service representatives from call centres in India. Moreover, validating the scale with a sample drawn from the cross-cultural diversity of India enables cross-cultural validity of the scale. The factor analysis of the scale yielded three factors, namely meaninglessness, exhaustion and demotivation. The scale demonstrates sound nomological and discriminant validity and its reliability estimates are also high. The paper argues that the present scale can be used in cross-cultural studies of burnout as a reliable measure of burnout.
