“Reconstruction of Gene Regulatory Network from Expression Profile of Plasma RNA Data of Colorectal Cancer Patients using Soft Computing Techniques”

Microarray data analysis is one of data mining tool which is used to extract meaningful information hidden in biological data. One of the major focuses on microarray data analysis is the reconstruction of gene regulatory network that may be used to provide a broader understanding on the functioning of complex cellular systems. Since cancer is a genetic disease arising from the abnormal gene function, the identification of cancerous genes and the regulatory pathways they control will provide a better platform for understanding the tumor formation and development. The major focus of this thesis is to understand the regulation of genes responsible for the development of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer by analyzing the microarray expression data. In this thesis, four computational algorithms namely fuzzy logic algorithm, modified genetic algorithm, dynamic neural fuzzy network and Takagi Sugeno Kang-type recurrent neural fuzzy network are used to extract cancer specific gene regulatory network from plasma RNA dataset of colorectal cancer patients. Plasma RNA is highly attractive for cancer analysis since it requires a collection of small amount of blood and it can be obtained at any time in repetitive fashion allowing the analysis of disease progression and treatment response.

Customary Laws of Lakshadweep Islands

The customary laws of Union Territory of Lakshadweep islands are a challenge for judicial institution as well as administrative machinery. With the peculiarities of socio-legal institutions, Lakshadweep system stands apart from the mainstream of legal systems in India. How far do the charismatic modernisation trends flowing into the Lakshadweep society affect the people already protected by the uncodified laws of the past? Many are the issues at this stage. This study analyses them. It examines the growth, evolution and development of the legal system in the islands vis-a-vis the administrative mechanism imposed by the mainland ethos and culture.

This thesis contains a study of conservation laws of fluid mechanics. These conservation laws though classical, have been put to extensive studies in t:he past many decades

Industrial Laws In Transnational Corporations And Their Impact On The Economic Conditions Of Labour: Acase Study Of Pharmaceutical Industry In India

This study proposes to verify the hypothesis relating to labour legislation in the industrial sector.Here there are as many as fifty enacments of the central government alone.These legislations indicating the growth of this branch of law over a period of more than half a centuary cover a wide spectrum of interests of workers both individuals and collective in different areas of employment.However this study relates mainly to a)trade unions act,b)industrial employment c)industrial disputes.

“Documentary Credit Law : An Indian Perspective"

This is a study in international trade law. Documentary credits are the most common method of payment for goods in international trade. In India also these instruments are used both in national and international trade. The law governing these transactions remains haphazard. This study identifies the deficiencies in the regulatory framework for documentary credits in India. It primarily focuses on those areas which exhibits a lack of equality and justice in its operation. An attempt has also been made to identify the rights and duties of parties involved in the transaction. The reasons for the increase of fraudulent activities associated with the documents executed in the documentary credit transactions are also examined. How far the law in India is sufficient to ensure fair business practice in international trade financing is also examined. Methodology adopted for the study is analytical. The statutory provisions, rules and case laws under these provisions have been examined. An empirical study by personal interview with the bankers is also made to ascertain the practice of bankers in India.

La comunicación como factor de efectividad en la política pública: el caso de la regulación del ejercicio profesional de la abogacía

La presente investigación pretende dar respuesta al siguiente interrogante: ¿Cuál es el efecto que ha tenido la comunicación entre los actores de las políticas públicas regulatorias colombianas en materia de control del ejercicio profesional de la Abogacía, sobre la relación entre el Ciudadano Regulado (PROFESIONAL) y autoridad pública que ejerce la regulación (CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE LA JUDICATURA) durante el periodo 1991 -2009?. Para tal efecto, se ha realizado un análisis de tres áreas de conocimiento; la Ciencia Política, la Comunicación y el Derecho, encontrando que si bien es cierto que existe una relación entre cada una de estas ciencias, no se encuentran trabajos que apliquen las tres áreas del conocimiento a la Política Pública de Regulación. Se ha comparado la Política Pública Regulatoria del Ejercicio Profesional de la Abogacía, con las regulaciones de otras profesiones, como la Medicina, la Contaduría, la Administración de Empresas, entre otras, detectando diferencias y semejanzas entre cada profesión, y concluyendo que los actores de la política evaluada atienden a características específicas determinadas por el Constitución y la ley. La investigación se basa en un análisis documental y de aplicación de la teoría de la Comunicación desde los planteamientos de J. Austin permitiendo la evaluación de casos específicos en la Política Pública de Regulación del ejercicio Profesional, a la luz de un modelo que permite observar la importancia de los actores, los procesos y la voluntad. Cada caso analizado atiende a un evento comunicativo en tres momentos de la Política Pública: Formulación, Implementación y Evaluación; encontrando que el Modelo aplicado permite evidenciar las falencias en los casos en que los eventos comunicativos son “infortunados”. La implementación de las Políticas Públicas Regulatorias se encuentra relacionada con la participación de los Ciudadanos Regulados en su creación, y con la percepción lógica de las obligaciones fijadas en la norma. De lo contrario se deberá recurrir al uso de la fuerza para el cumplimiento de la regulación.

Self-organized sociopolitical interactions as the best way to achieve organized patterns in human social systems: going beyond the top-down control of classical political regimes

La monografía presenta la auto-organización sociopolítica como la mejor manera de lograr patrones organizados en los sistemas sociales humanos, dada su naturaleza compleja y la imposibilidad de las tareas computacionales de los regímenes políticos clásico, debido a que operan con control jerárquico, el cual ha demostrado no ser óptimo en la producción de orden en los sistemas sociales humanos. En la monografía se extrapola la teoría de la auto-organización en los sistemas biológicos a las dinámicas sociopolíticas humanas, buscando maneras óptimas de organizarlas, y se afirma que redes complejas anárquicas son la estructura emergente de la auto-organización sociopolítica.

“Superficial Water Concessions In Light Of The General Theory of the Administrative Act” The Incidence of the Public Law’s Dogmatic Tradition of Public Law Within Environmental Law

This paper seeks the determine the ways in which anomalous decisions derived from the particularization and constitutionalization of environmental law can arise given the general theory of administrative action. This is seen through the lens of a study and characterization of administrative decisions issued by the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca –CAR- within the superficial water concessions procedure. It also discusses the conceptual contents of these licenses.

Administrative authorization for the demolition of urban rental units pursuant to the law of 1964: a spanish example of problematic over-activity in the application of transitional laws

Transitional provisions are defined as the set of regulations that rule juridical relationships on the occasion of a legislative change. Out of this context of law succession, their indiscriminate application can lead to serious inconsistencies. The analysis of a Spanish private law example is offered to illustrate this fact. It concerns the administrative authorization for the demolition of rented buildings in the cities. A regulation repealed more than fifteen years ago and however widespread utilised on ancient constructions that, after recent urban development, have acquired great economic value; something that in the end explains the current importance of such provisions. What is happening in Spain: denaturalization of the original  figure due to a mixture of formalist interpretations and speculative market interests, is presented here to call the attention on the necessary limitation of transitional provisions’ effects.
