The classic paradigm "think globally and act locally" is discovering a new relevance in the context of social development, as it provides a useful perspective on addressing the needs of nations as complex and diverse as India. In order to understand a country's motivation for change and social action, it is first necessary to understand the history of the people and their way of life. Social Work and Social Development: Perspectives from India and the United States compares India and the United States' approaches to social work and social development. The book highlights the similarities between the two countries, especially the cultural pluralism, democratic political structures, and social welfare policy commitments that make possible an inclusionary exchange of knowledge in the fields of social work and social development.The contributors to this book include both US and Indian experts in sociology, theology, women's studies, and social work. They examine both micro and macro issues ranging from religious pluralism, population migration, and criminal justice to child welfare, health care, and mental health policies. This unique approach integrates these multiple perspectives and provides a faceted picture of social structures and change in both countries.The goals of this book are to move finally beyond the ethnocentric mantra of applying "developed" solutions to "developing" problems and redefine the parameters for understanding people and problems in international social work. It is a unique and valuable resource for course work in social work, social development, international studies, and Asian studies. The framework presented in this book can be used as a model for further comparisons, so that we truly can begin thinking globally while acting locally not just in India, but in the United States and the rest of the world.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of feminist international relations in South Asia. It highlights the key contentions, debates, and tensions in the field, and studies how the trajectory of feminist international relations in the region has been marked by dialogue, dissidence, and difference with the Global North. In doing so, the volume draws attention to different feminist histories, herstories, and differing ways of knowing, seeing, and doing global politics. It particularly foregrounds a feminist intersectional/ postcolonial lens to a diverse range of issues such as women, peace and the security agenda, populism and nationalism, militarism and militarisation, and underlines the rich textured contours of feminist epistemologies in South Asia. An important contribution, the book will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of feminism, international relations, postcolonialism, women’s studies, gender studies, security studies, and South Asian studies.

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 10, , language: English, abstract: The research aim is to address the impact of digital marketing on consumer psychology. Traditional marketing strategies are currently being replaced with digital marketing strategies as a result of highly competitive nature of the firm and the technical developments enabled by usage of the internet. Digital marketing spans a wide area in a market with intense competition. It comprises looking at company strategies that use digital technology to save costs while also expanding operations globally. Digital marketing has a greater opportunity for business growth in the coming years since consumers are happy when making purchases online and believe it to be more secure than traditional marketing. Consumers can now review product specifications and compare performance as needed because of digital marketing, providing them the flexibility to choose and the mobility to place orders wherever they are, whenever they want. As a result of improved technology and increased online contact, consumer connectedness is increasing every day, altering consumer preferences as well as requiring that businesses understand consumer psychology. This research investigates how consumer psychology is impacted by digital marketing. Digital marketing may eventually replace traditional marketing due to its positive impact on consumer psychology. The following research objectives are going to be looked at:1. To explore the conceptual understanding of digital marketing and consumer psychology2. To analyse impact of digital marketing on consumer psychology toward purchasing decision 3. To select an appropriate framework for assessing the consumer psychology of online shoppers

Academic Paper in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, , language: English, abstract: The following research questions were determined to support the research objectives: What are the challenges faced by the manufacturing industries using only conventional Gantt charts and work breakdown structure manufacturing industries in managing and optimization of data? What factors contributed to the development of automated and cloud-based project management software in the manufacturing industry? What is the role of automation in project management software? How has automated and cloud-based project management manufacturing software like Jira and Asana effectively contributed to its role in manufacturing industries ?This study is significantly important from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Theoretically speaking, the findings of this study will review new theories in the existing literature which will help the scholars in further exploring the subject from the manufacturing perspective. Since, the past studies are mostly based on the construction, defence, and service sector and mostly on software development; this study will focus mainly on the implementation of project management in the manufacturing industry with the adoption of modern tools like Jira and Asana in this sector. Alternatively, the empirical investigation in this research could provide a reasonable rather logical overview of the strategies to practitioners and academics for the introduction of APM in the environment of traditional project management in the area of manufacturing which is still under-explored by past researchers. In addition, this research will also guide the project managers with the help of empirical research in identifying the drivers due to which APM has been introduced and the challenges the project managers would face in applying those in the manufacturing industries. This study is aimed to comprehend the role of cloud-based and automated tools, Jira and Asana in effective project management: by investigating the manufacturing sector.

Academic Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, , language: English, abstract: This research fills the existing gap of having a general framework for cybersecurity and comes up with strategies best suited for SMEs in the UK. Due to the large number of SMEs in the UK, the economy heavily depends on them; however, those organizations have many cybersecurity issues due to the lack of funds, the increased number of strict rules, and new/advanced types of cyber threats. The study's goal is to develop an implementable cybersecurity model that can adequately counter these factors and build SME immunity against cyber threats. The first step undertaken in the study is the review of the literature which seeks to establish specific cybersecurity threats that impact SMEs and assess the preparedness of existing architectures in supporting SMEs. According to it, there is a step-wise cybersecurity framework in terms of policies, standards, and guidelines suitable for SMEs based on their operations and regulatory policies. Examples of Manufacturing, Financial Services, and Healthcare industries make the study applicable and offer practical evidence of the framework application. Specifically, key findings stress that network segmentation and employee training, which are vital yet inexpensive approaches, are indispensable for addressing cyber threats. The general picture leads to the identification of the regulation as the most important area of concern that directly relates to GDPR and industry standards with an emphasis on ongoing monitoring and updates. Concerning the proposed cybersecurity architecture, ranging from perimeter to data protection layers, it provides a conceptual framework for protecting SMEs IT resources. Possible future research directions include the utilization of new technologies like AI and machine learning for improved threat detection, the improvement of cybersecurity knowledge among the different levels of society, and the involvement of SMEs, cybersecurity specialists, and regulatory entities.
