"Lalon Fokirer Gan":: Bengali Folk (Baul) Songs of Lalon Fakir, edited and compiled by Uday Bhattacharyya. "লালন ফকিরের গান"। মোট ২১৮ টি গান নিয়ে এটি শুধু মাত্র লালনের গানের সংকলন নয় হয়ে উঠেছে এক অসামান্য দলিল। এই গ্রন্থে শুধু লালনের গানই নয় সঙ্গে শব্দার্থ এবং ভিন্ন ভিন্ন গ্রন্থে লালনের গানের যে কথান্তর আছে তাও তুলে ধরার চেষ্টা করা হয়েছে। লালন (জন্ম ১৭৭৪- মৃত্যু অক্টোবর ১৭, ১৮৯০) বহুমুখী প্রতিভার অধিকারী একজন বাঙালী যিনি ফকির লালন, লালন সাঁই, লালন শাহ, মহাত্মা লালন ইত্যাদি নামেও পরিচিত। তিনি একাধারে একজন আধ্যাত্মিক বাউল সাধক, মানবতাবাদী, সমাজ সংস্কারক, দার্শনিক, অসংখ্য অসাধারণ গানের গীতিকার, সুরকার ও গায়ক ছিলেন। লালনকে বাউল গানের একজন অগ্রদূত হিসেবে বিবেচনা করা হয়। তার গানের মাধ্যমেই ঊনিশ শতকে বাউল গান বেশ জনপ্রিয়তা অর্জন করে। তাকে 'বাউল সম্রাট' হিসেবেও আখ্যায়িত করা হয়ে থাকে। লালন ছিলেন একজন মানবতাবাদী যিনি ধর্ম, বর্ন, গোত্রসহ সকল প্রকার জাতিগত বিভেদ থেকে সরে এসে মানবতাকে সর্বোচ্চ স্থান দিয়েছিলেন। অসাম্প্রদায়িক এই মনোভাব থেকেই তিনি তার গানসমূহ রচনা করেন। তার গান ও দর্শন যুগে যুগে প্রভাবিত করেছে রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর, কাজী নজরুলের মত বহু খ্যাতনামা কবি, সাহিত্যিক, দার্শনিক, বুদ্ধিজীবিসহ অসংখ্য মানুষকে। তার গানগুলো মূলত বাউল গান হলেও বাউল সম্প্রদায় ছাড়াও যুগে যুগে বহু সঙ্গীতশিল্পীর কন্ঠে লালনের এই গানসমূহ উচ্চারিত হয়েছে। গান্ধীরও ২৫ বছর আগে, ভারত উপমহাদেশে সর্বপ্রথম, তাকে 'মহাত্মা' উপাধি দেয়া হয়েছিল।
"Gopal Urer Gan":: Bengali Songs/Poems of Gopal Urer, edited and compiled by Uday Bhattacharyya. উনবিংশ শতাব্দীর মাঝামাঝি সময় "গোপাল উড়ের গান", বাংলা দেশে খুবই জনপ্রিয় হয়েছিল। গোপাল জাতিতে উড়ে (উড়িয়া) এবং কোন প্রথাগত শিক্ষা ছাড়াই নিজের অধ্যবসায় বাংলা ভাষা শিখে বাংলা গান/টপ্পা রচনা করেছিলেন। গানগুলি মূলত যাত্রপালার জন্য লেখা। গোপাল নিজে যাত্রপালায় অভিনয় করতেন এবং একটি যাত্রা দল চালাতেন। গোপাল কতখানি জনপ্রিয় ছিলেন তার একটি ধারণা পাওয়া যায় বঙ্কিমচন্দ্র চট্টোপাধ্যায়ের 'বিষবৃক্ষ' উপন্যাসে। সেখানে গোপালের কথা উল্লেখ আছে। অন্তপুরবাসী নারীরাও তার গান সম্পর্কে অবগত ছিলো, তার গান ভালবাসতো।
Ultimately, what really does it mean to be creative? How can we see ourselves as participating in the creativity of God for mission? All people are creative. Sadly, however, for many, creativity is stifled and remains stunted due to several reasons--social, economic, political, cultural, and even spiritual. This study explores how ICMs--indigenous cosmopolitan musicians--negotiate their creativity amid the liminal spaces they occupy as they share in the creativity of God for mission through their music. But what exactly does it mean to share in the creativity of God for mission? Contrary to popular notion, ICMs evidence that creativity is not merely innovation; it is not a psychological metric for measuring human potential; it is certainly not the ""icing on the cake"" reserved for a few so-called creatives or artists. Rather, ""theological creativity"" is participation in the creatio Dei; it is theologically prior to mission. As a missiological framework, creatio Dei is understood here in terms of creative being, creative construction (design), and creative performance. Hopefully, this book can help clarify and expand our understanding of what it means to be truly creative and, thereby, with the help of the Creator, put into practice principles of theological creativity as we share in the creativity of God in the world, with others.

The commercialisation of science and technology enabled innovation is a serious topic of interest for a wide range of global audiences who share one common objective: to understand how science and technology based ideas can be turned into commercial value more effectively. Despite the vast number of publications addressing entrepreneurship, innovation and strategy there is relatively little in the literature which systematically addresses the structures, processes and mechanisms involved in turning ideas into commercially valuable propositions: this book is intended to directly address this gap.The approach in Camels, Tigers & Unicorns consists of three fundamental strands:The contents of this book should be of interest to a wide range of audiences including entrepreneurs; leaders and managers in technology firms; scientists and technologists engaged in innovation in academic institutions and corporate environments; lone inventors; groups of scientific entrepreneurs operating outside recognised structures; business and strategy consultants; managers of public and private 'intervention agencies' such as incubators and accelerators; investors; and, policy makers.

It is widely accepted that innovation holds the key to sustainable commercial growth globally, but in practice there is limited understanding of how to successfully exploit its full commercial and social value. The Scale-up Manual provides a unified approach to manage the creation and commercialisation of innovative products and services, enabled by four data-driven building blocks: the Triple Chasm Model, modified commercialisation readiness levels, meso-economic vectors and the commercialisation canvas. The approach supports different strategies for resource allocation, ranging from 'lean' techniques to sustainability initiatives based on the circular economy. The Manual includes many case studies and insights, which different 'Actors' can use at different points along the commercialisation journey.Related Link(s)

Lower urinary tract symptoms may be the result of a structural or functional abn- mality. To consider either in isolation would be an incomplete assessment, but c- bined anatomical and functional imaging provides a more powerful and complete tool for investigation of lower urinary tract malfunction. Yet many of the currently available radiological texts concerning lower urinary tract imaging fail to discuss these two aspects in a holistic manner. We hope that this book will fll this gap. Although it is written to be as comprehensive as possible such that it covers the vast majority of lower urinary tract disorders that will be encountered in adult urological practice, it is not meant to replace conventional textbooks of uroradiology. Rather, it is meant to be practical and user friendly. It is intended for everyday clinical use; it should allow the trainee and trained radiologist or urologist to plan a logical, yet complete radiological and dynamic investigation of the lower urinary tract. It should also be useful for nurse practitioners, medical students, and all other medical staff who commonly manage lower urinary tract disorders.

This textbook explains Deep Learning Architecture, with applications to various NLP Tasks, including Document Classification, Machine Translation, Language Modeling, and Speech Recognition. With the widespread adoption of deep learning, natural language processing (NLP),and speech applications in many areas (including Finance, Healthcare, and Government) there is a growing need for one comprehensive resource that maps deep learning techniques to NLP and speech and provides insights into using the tools and libraries for real-world applications. Deep Learning for NLP and Speech Recognition explains recent deep learning methods applicable to NLP and speech, provides state-of-the-art approaches, and offers real-world case studies with code to provide hands-on experience. Many books focus on deep learning theory or deep learning for NLP-specific tasks while others are cookbooks for tools and libraries, but the constant flux of new algorithms, tools, frameworks, and libraries in a rapidly evolving landscape means that there are few available texts that offer the material in this book. The book is organized into three parts, aligning to different groups of readers and their expertise. The three parts are: Machine Learning, NLP, and Speech Introduction The first part has three chapters that introduce readers to the fields of NLP, speech recognition, deep learning and machine learning with basic theory and hands-on case studies using Python-based tools and libraries. Deep Learning Basics The five chapters in the second part introduce deep learning and various topics that are crucial for speech and text processing, including word embeddings, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and speech recognition basics. Theory, practical tips, state-of-the-art methods, experimentations and analysis in using the methods discussed in theory on real-world tasks. Advanced Deep Learning Techniques for Text and Speech The third part has five chapters that discuss the latest and cutting-edge research in the areas of deep learning that intersect with NLP and speech. Topics including attention mechanisms, memory augmented networks, transfer learning, multi-task learning, domain adaptation, reinforcement learning, and end-to-end deep learning for speech recognition are covered using case studies.
