Algebraic varieties are shapes defined by polynomial equations. Smooth Fano threefolds are a fundamental subclass that can be thought of as higher-dimensional generalizations of ordinary spheres. They belong to 105 irreducible deformation families. This book determines whether the general element of each family admits a Kähler–Einstein metric (and for many families, for all elements), addressing a question going back to Calabi 70 years ago. The book's solution exploits the relation between these metrics and the algebraic notion of K-stability. Moreover, the book presents many different techniques to prove the existence of a Kähler–Einstein metric, containing many additional relevant results such as the classification of all Kähler–Einstein smooth Fano threefolds with infinite automorphism groups and computations of delta-invariants of all smooth del Pezzo surfaces. This book will be essential reading for researchers and graduate students working on algebraic geometry and complex geometry.

Challenges the mainstream understanding of BRICS and US dominance to situate the new global rivalries engulfing capitalism BRICS is a grouping of the five major emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Volume five in the Democratic Marxism series, BRICS and the New American Imperialism challenges the mainstream understanding of BRICS and US dominance to situate the new global rivalries engulfing capitalism. It offers novel analyses of BRICS in the context of increasing US induced imperial chaos, deepening environmental crisis tendencies (such as climate change and water scarcity), contradictory dynamics inside BRICS countries and growing subaltern resistance. The authors revisit contemporary thinking on imperialism and anti-imperialism, drawing on the work of Rosa Luxemburg, one of the leading theorists after Marx, who attempted to understand the expansionary nature of capitalism from the heartlands to the peripheries. The richness of Luxemburg's pioneering work inspires most of the volume's contributors in their analyses of the dangerous contradictions of the contemporary world as well as forms of democratic agency advancing resistance. While various forms of resistance are highlighted, among them water protests, mass worker strikes, anti-corporate campaigning and forms of cultural critique, this volume grapples with the challenge of renewing anti-imperialism beyond the NGO-driven World Social Forum and considers the prospects of a new horizontal political vessel to build global convergence. It also explores the prospects of a Fifth International of Peoples and Workers.

The Goddess's Homecoming

The Goddess's Homecoming

Nibedita Deb

Notion Press
2020
pokkari
This anthology of short stories is set against the backdrop of the most important festival of the Bengali community - Durga Puja. It forays into the premise that Goddess Durga is more than just a warrior from mythic times. In today's world, She is a persistent voice of rebel amidst a norm-abiding crowd. Her indomitable spirit is embodied by ordinary women who make extraordinary choices in their everyday lives. The stories unfold across the five important days of the festival - Shoshti, Shaptami, Ashtami, Navami, and Dashami - and take the readers on a tumultuous yet eye-opening journey. Even though the collection touches base with urban festivity from time to time, it also brings into focus the manifold narratives of rural and suburban Durgotsav. At times, it bravely meanders through the less popular legends of the Mother Goddess. But in its essence, it recognizes women who muster the courage to fight demons that lurk both within and outside of themselves.

Avoiding Disaster Deaths

Avoiding Disaster Deaths

Nibedita S. Ray-Bennett

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
This book introduces a pathbreaking approach called ‘Avoidable Disaster Deaths’ (ADD) to reduce disaster deaths. Disaster deaths are the direct and indirect impact of hazards. The ‘Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction’ has urged the United Nations Member States to reduce disaster deaths or mortality by 2030. Reducing the number of disaster deaths has become a useful marker for improving disaster risk management. Equally important is knowing how people die, who dies, why they die, and which disaster deaths are ‘avoidable’ and ‘unavoidable’. Disaster risk reduction specialists have not fully examined these questions. Built from disaster risk reduction, public health, epidemiology, human geography, risk and crisis management studies, the ADD approach disaggregates disaster deaths into avoidable and unavoidable. Avoidable disaster deaths are preventable, amenable and governance-related. Unavoidable deaths are those that occur annually due to natural causes or poverty-related diseases. In a disaster climate, the emphasis should be on reducing avoidable disaster deaths in a resource-constrained context. Using the context of COVID-19 and the economic lockdown in India, the analytical advantage of this approach is explored. Doing so, the book brings forth human stories whose lives were cut short and introduces novel matrices and dynamic strategies to ascertain the ‘cause and circumstances’ of avoidable disaster deaths to develop the capacity of disaster and health responders. The book is suitable for students, academics, policy-makers and practitioners interested in disaster risk reduction, human rights, risk and crisis management, environmental science, human geography, Sustainable Development and Sendai Goals. The book is also suitable for passionate citizens who want to capture the number, causes and circumstances of avoidable disaster deaths and take positive action to save lives in their communities. Professor Nibedita S. Ray-Bennett ably presents a novel ‘avoidable disaster deaths’ approach to disaster risk reduction and management by presenting cogent arguments rooted in solid theory and up to date literature reviews, complemented by a wealth of data and analysis from the Indian Covid 19 experience. The book includes a range of tables and diagrams that crystallise approaches and practices useful for policy makers and practitioners alike. The book is highly informed, well written, accessible, practical and useful, with an optimal mix of strong, well-tested academic theory, and important recommendations that demand serious consideration by all involved and interested in disasters. A spur to action and inspiration. (Professor Michael Petterson, School of Social Sciences, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand)

Avoidable Deaths

Avoidable Deaths

Nibedita Ray-Bennett

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
nidottu
This book addresses one of the most fundamental questions of the 21st century: why deaths continue to occur in natural disasters despite the tremendous advancements in disaster management science and weather forecasting systems, increased sophistication of human-built environments and ongoing economic and policy development worldwide. By presenting an interdisciplinary tool for analysing ‘systems failure’, the book provides concrete suggestions on how deaths may be reduced in resource-poor contexts. It goes beyond traditional risk and vulnerability perspectives and demonstrates that deaths in disasters are complex problems that can be solved by adopting a socio-technical perspective to improve current disaster management systems in the developing world. The book is a timely contribution, as it directly addresses Global Target One of the UN’s ‘Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction’, which has urged 185 UN Member States to reduce disaster mortality by 2030. Further, it offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners interested in disaster risk reduction, human rights, gender, sociology of risk, crisis and disasters, environmental science, organisation and management studies.

Antibacterial Nanocomplexes coated GTR membrane

Antibacterial Nanocomplexes coated GTR membrane

Nivethitha S; Esther Nalini H

Lap Lambert Academic Publishing
2024
pokkari
Antibacterial nanocomplexes coated on guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes is an innovative approach to enhance periodontal healing and tissue regeneration. These membranes, typically used to support the regeneration of lost periodontal tissues, can be improved by integrating nanocomplexes that possess antimicrobial properties. The incorporation of nanoparticles, such as silver, zinc oxide, or graphene, into the GTR membrane provides a dual function: mechanical support for tissue growth and a barrier against microbial infections.The antimicrobial coating not only prevents bacterial colonization but also reduces the risk of postoperative complications, leading to improved clinical outcomes. The nanocomplexes release antimicrobial agents in a controlled manner, ensuring sustained protection over time. Research has demonstrated that these modified membranes can enhance cell proliferation, differentiation, and overall tissue repair.Overall, antibacterial nanocomplex-coated GTR membranes represent a promising advancement in periodontal therapies, potentially improving patient outcomes by combining tissue regeneration with effective infection control.
