Wittgenstein once stated that Ethics must be a condition of the world, like logic. The development of data mining has the capacity to compromise privacy in ways not previously possible, an issue not only exacerbated through inaccurate data and ethical abuse but also by a lagging legal framework which struggles, at times, to catch up with technological innovation. This chapter explores these iss...

The objective of this study is to understand how the Indian software industry has been able to catch up—successfully access, learn, and develop—to the technological standards of global leaders while others in the developing world lag behind. The focus of this study is on explaining factors that contributed to the phenomenal growth of software exports from India, including the role of institutio...

ABSTRACT The influence of technological learning on industry-level catch-up has long drawn substantial attention in the research field. However, underlying mechanisms and unique context large emerging economies are much less explored. To explain processes latecomers that face technology gap strive to build differentiated competitive advantage, this study builds absorptive capacity perspective d...

Malnutrition is considered a leading cause of growth attenuation in children. When food is replenished, spontaneous catch-up (CU) growth usually occurs, bringing the child back to its original growth trajectory. However, in some cases, the CU growth is not complete, leading to a permanent growth deficit. This review summarizes our current knowledge regarding the mechanism regulating nutrition a...

Poor growth in association with child abuse is well recognised, but the eventual outcome with respect to growth has not been clearly defined. In a study of 95 children who had suffered child abuse standard deviation (SD) scores for height and weight were significantly below the mean at presentation and improved at follow up. Sixty four children who remained at home showed significant increase i...
