Hong Kong’s Growth and it’s Impact on Pacific Rim Asian Countries

All the countries in the Pacific Rim have impacted its growth in one way or another. In a very similar manner Hong Kong being one of the Four Asian Dragons has grown at a rapid pace and its impact is evident in the Pacific Rim. It is a known fact that GNP of Hong Kong has been growing and since it has been freed from the U.K. it has contributed to the overall Pacific Rim regions growth. Hong Kong has been able to generate a greater business network, improved infrastructure and gather large human capital which has led to greater growth rate and has made business operating in the country much engaging and easier. Once a country in the Pacific Rim develops its impact goes on to the other countries as well and especially to the countries in the region.

Impact of Crypto Currency in South Korea

Over the past four decades, South Korea has demonstrated vast economic growth and worldwide integration to become a high-tech industrialized economy. Seoul’s reputation as the “leading digital city’ and also the “tech capital of the world” contributes to the fact that South Korea is the most advanced in terms of technological reach. Such magnitude of technology oriented people has led to high acceptance of the cryptocurrency trend. Cryptocurrencies allow fund transfers via public and private keys for security purposes. The trend is a major break -through in technology as it simplifies the payment processes by lowering the transaction costs. South Korea houses the world’s largest crypto currency exchanges. The need of using such trading platforms comes from the South Korean’s natural tendency of making ‘easy money’ and getting out of the conventional workspace. But this need is being highly opposed by the government that wants to control speculation and the highly volatile market. The ban on cryptocurrency is also furthered by the fact that this currency is highly prone to speculation and may lead to money laundering. The final decision about the ‘crypto trend’ thus rests on the pros to the national traders and cons for the government.

Taiwan’s Freedom – A Chance to be better

This article is an observational report which focuses on the changes post martial law on Taiwan. The end of 38 years of martial law on 15th July 1987 is etched in gold as ‘ a new milestone’ for the democracy in the country when the then President formally announced the end of martial law. This historic decision ushered in a new wind of democracy and freedom. This article notes that Taiwan has experienced a drastic growth in the past 31 years. Especially the media boom on the island is commendable. Taiwan’s cultural, social and political development following the government’s decision to uplift the martial law around 3 decades back has raised hopes of many nations’ dreams of liberation from their mundane form of government. This article emphasizes on understanding the progress that Taiwan as a nation has made in the past three decades and factors that were pivotal in their pursuit of excelling.

An in-depth analysis of why the South Korean market targets their men for the cosmetic industry more than their women

The purpose is to study why the South Korean market targets the men for cosmetic industry more than their women. This study was made by referring to various journal articles, blogs and interviews. In which the people interviewed (mostly men) tell how it is very important for them maintain a flawless facade to impress people around them, be it their partner or their bosses. Not only the men but women are also equally affected by the idea of having flawless skin, even they wait to get plastic surgeries done to westernize their looks, mainly their eyes. Data is collected through literature study and blogs. The result says that South Korean men are the biggest buyer of cosmetic products as it brings confidence within them. Even though the men here are the highest consumers of cosmetics, the women are no different even they are so beauty conscious. Plastic surgery has become very common and simple on South Korea.

African’s View about China’s African Policy

In recent years, PRC has become Africa’s biggest economic partner. Across trade, investment, infrastructure and aid, there is no other country with such depth and breadth of engagement in Africa. China is a rising power and Africa is a continent that is still developing. There is evidence of an unequal parity of force, both financial and political, between the two areas in today’s worldwide connection. It will ask questions about Chinese government’s diversions and strategies, and their suggestions towards the exchange agreements with African states. This study will examine the researches conducted by African, Western and Chinese scholars. Their opinions will be considered objectively. From time to time, this study will compare the opinion of African, western and Chinese researchers. This thesis will examine this association in comparison with Africa’s old colonial powers, and today enormous exchange inclusion with China. This research aims to analyze the African’s view about China’s African policy. The main questions it to answer; Is China best model for the development of Africa? And how do African see Chinese influence in Africa. This study analyses political and socio-economic advantages and disadvantages of PRC’s Africa policy and relations between PRC and African states. Nowadays, there are a lot of academic research about PRC’s African policy. Some of these studies have focused on neo-colonialism. And some of them support PRC’s African policy. However, a few studies care about African voice. Motivation of this thesis is to clarify African’s view about PRC’s African policy and this thesis tries to show African’s opinion about Chinese policy and also, whether People’s Republic of China's African policies are neo-colonialism or not.

Research Proposal for Parametric Study of Sustainable Concrete Produced Using Marginal Material as an Internal Curing Agent for Partial Replacement of Natural Sand in Subtropical Climate of Central India

The paper is an attempt to address some of the issues of modern civilization like solid waste management of debris of Construction and Demolition waste, identifying alternatives for fast depleting natural sand, and the scarcity of water for construction purpose in the various fast-developing cities. In central India, the cluster of Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha together are the largest manufacturer of low lime-fly ash in the country. The previous works on the use of construction and demolition waste in concrete as alternatives to aggregate have reported a loss in the vital properties of concrete. The research plan presented in the paper looks to extend beyond these confined results and explore the possibility to produce strong and durable concrete using marginal materials by sustainable strategies. On integrating the two problems a solution for concrete is obtained using construction and demolition waste crushed bricks as internal curing agent thus improving the efficiency of external curing and using fly ash for improving microstructure, strength and durability of concrete. The paper also intends to share the core idea and the methodology of the research work so that better and wider alternatives of the proposed model will be tested and reported for the interest of the Nation at large and the region in particular. Considering the fact that India is being rebuilt small sustainable efforts like these can have significant impacts in saving natural resources, create space in cities, reduce carbon footprints, and reduce environmental impact. This partnership is invited from the practitioners to carry the findings of research beyond the boundaries of laboratories to practical field applications.

Lattice Dynamics of ND4Cl and TlCl using Vander Walls and Three Body Interactions

Complete lattice dynamical behaviour of ND4Cl as well TlCl have been studied with the help of new phenomenological model, van der Waals three-body force shell model (VTSM), incorporating the effect of van der Waals interactions (vWI) along with long-range screened Coulomb and three-body interactions (TBI) in the frame work of rigid shell model where short range interactions are operative up to the second neighbour in these halides. This new model presents an excellent agreement with available experimental data and a vast improvement for the theoretical available data for phonon dispersion curve (PDCs) for [q00], [qq0] and [qqq] directions in case , variation of Debye Temperature Curve and combined density state (CDS) curve and anharmonic properties such as third and fourth order elastic constants and pressure derivative of second order elastic constants. It is observed this new model presents an excellent agreement with available experimental data and a vast improvement for the theoretical available data for phonon dispersion curve (PDC), variation of Debye Temperature Curve and combined density state (CDS) curve and anharmonic properties such as third and fourth order elastic constants and pressure derivative of second order elastic constants. It is believed that incorporation of van der Waals interaction enables us to produce a vast study of lattice dynamical and other derivable properties. A good agreement has been obtained between experimental and VTSM values for dependant properties.
