This book is a comprehensive guide to psychiatry for undergraduate
medical students. Beginning with an introduction to the field, the
next chapters discuss biological sciences, psychosocial sciences,
and classification and evaluation. The following sections cover the
diagnosis and treatment of numerous psychiatric disorders,
including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar and other mood
disorders, OCD, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and many more.
All sectors of the population are covered, from children and
adolescents, to geriatrics, and a complete chapter is dedicated to
culture bound syndromes (a combination of psychiatric and somatic
symptoms that are considered to be a recognisable disease only
within a specific society or culture). The book concludes with
discussion on psychopharmacology and psychotherapies, legal and
ethical issues, community and preventive psychiatry, and the
history and future of the field. Key points Practical guide to

In the book "Comprehensive National Power - A Model for India" an
attempt has been made to quantify and describe those attributes
that most accurately portray India's capability to exert its
national will. An effort has been made to access how various powers
compared in this study could exert their national power to leverage
the international environment to their national advantage. This
study has been carried out in the backdrop of the rise and fall of
countries and empires, and an assessment of the inbuilt longevity
to power. This well-researched book is a result of the project
study allocated by Headquarters Army Training Command to the United
Service Institution of India, New Delhi. This study is likely to be
a foundational work for future studies on the subject. This would
eventually lead to more awareness of the concept of Comprehensive
National Power. As a result, a national consensus is likely to
emerge on the steps India would need to take to further hone its
Comprehensive National Power in order to realize the national
aspirations.
India's seismic hazard is highly understated; over 60% of India is
under the threat of moderate to severe seismic hazard. Some of the
largest earthquakes of the world have occurred in India and the
earthquake engineering developments in the country started rather
early. The institutional development started in the late 1950's and
earthquake engineering concepts have been applied to numerous major
projects in high seismic regions in the country. Extensive damage
during several moderate earthquakes in recent years indicate that
despite such early gains, earthquake risk in the country has been
increasing alarmingly. The research project aims to develop a
generic decision theoretical framework for the consistent
quantitative and rational management of earthquake risks in
different situations. Different techniques have been told to design
economical structures, basically for farmers and peoples who cannot
afford high-tech structures. These techniques have been proved to
be very effective in reducing economical losses and have got a
bright future if used appropriately.
The medicinal plants and herbs are used for many years. Medicinal
plants have several secondary metabolites which are helpful for
curing of diseases. Some of the herbs are used as growth
production, higher FCR, intake, immuno-stimulant, liver tonic,
anti-oxidants and for reducing cholesterol. Now-a-days, utilization
of these medicinal plants is increasing in another field such as
feed additives. If we talk about humans there are several herbal
additives for improvement of human digestive system. Herbal
additives are also beneficial for animal production example Leaves
of Azadirachta indica are used for feeding and reducing the
parasitic load of animals. Small amount of Herbs can improve
growth, intake, meat, milk etc. So in this book, we are going to
focus about goat digestive system and how can goat production
improve by herbal additives?
The book entitled "Modern synthetic strategy for anti-viral
nucleosides" deals with the synthesis of four new series of
nucleosides, their characterization and antiviral screening.
Chemically, viruses are nucleoproteins containing either
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) surrounded by
a protective protein sheath. Nucleoside analogues are used as
anti-viral therapeutic agents. The development of antiviral drugs
encountered lots of difficulties and the research in antiviral
chemotherapy gained less attention. Although vaccination is a
valuable tool to fight viral diseases and in some cases is
available and successful, the difficulty associated with state-wide
or world-wide vaccination programs makes antiviral chemotherapy a
more practical approach in the fight to epidemic viral
infections.The importance of these nucleoside analogues was later
confirmed with the emergence of HIV as the main etiological agent
of AIDS. Due to growing awareness about environmental pollution,
library synthesis of target nucleosides by using green protocols is
desired. With this objective new nucleosides have been synthesized
using green protocol and screened for their antiviralactivity.
This book covers issues on China, its strategic issues and its
effect on India. With a total of nineteen articles this book covers
issues like Economy of China, CPEC, China's Energy Diplomacy,
Military Reforms, Military Strategy, One Belt One Road and Shanghai
Cooperation organisation.
There is a wide spread perception amongst the intelligentsia that
India lacks strategic culture. The deficiency if any perhaps lies
in the reluctance to articulate India's perceptions on strategic
issues, as also to formulate a long term strategic view. As the
oldest think tank in Asia, United Services Institution of India
(USI) decided to address the above issue and how it could
contribute to evolution and dissemination of strategic thought on
challenges facing the Nation. To this end the publication of a USI
Strategic Yearbook 2016, which was the maiden attempt, which
received wide appreciation for its quality and contents. This
current issue of the Yearbook contains series of articles by
eminent persons and experts on various aspects of national
security; the aim being to provide a strategic perspective which
will create awareness and also help the policymakers in giving a
strategic direction for India to transform into a developed society
and a secured nation. USI hope's that readers will find this
publication useful and interesting.
Cyber Warfare is gaining special significance in today's national
security aspects. This book through various articles covers aspects
on Cyber Security, Cyberspace, Cyber Surveillance, Cyber Warfare
including Laws of War, Cyber Weapons as new weapons of mass
destruction et. al.
India's First War of Independence in 1857 ended in a fiasco,
primarily for want of effective leadership and perhaps equally
important, for lack of a viable strategy. Even after Independence,
India has been found wanting on many occasions in dealing with
situations concerning our National Security. The world at large
especially the intelligentsia believes that India lacks strategic
culture. The deficiency, if any, perhaps lies in India's reluctance
to express its perceptions on strategic issues as also to formulate
a long term strategic view. This book contains series of articles
by eminent persons and experts on various aspects of National
Security, with the aim to provide an overall strategic perspective,
which could contribute to evolution and dissemination of strategic
thought on challenges facing the Nation.
