  Data Science Inscription of the Jyotirlingas! Volume 1

  Chandrasekar Vuppalapati

  A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirlingam is a devotional representation of a Hindu Deity. The word is made up of Sanskrit ‘jyotis’ which means ‘radiance’ and linga, also spelled lingam, means ‘sign’ or “distinguishing symbol”. Hinduism defines Jyotirlingam as the radiant sign of the Almighty. In our data scientific view, nonetheless, Jyotirlinga represents the embodiment of time series. It exhibits stationarity and multi-model patterns of naturally occurring time series, a classical data science pattern, that has a causative relationship with historical events, world macroeconomics, agriculture, and other worldly events.

  Getting the Runaround: Formerly Incarcerated Men and the Bureaucratic Barriers to Reentry

  John Halushka

  Getting the Runaround takes readers into the bureaucracy of prisoner reentry, examining how returning citizens navigate the "institutional circuit" of parole offices, public assistance programs, rehabilitation facilities, shelters, and family courts. Tracing the lives of men returning to New York City after incarceration, the book argues that the very institutions charged with facilitating the transition from incarceration to community life perversely undermine reintegration by imposing a litany of bureaucratic obstacles. This "runaround" is not merely a series of inconveniences but rather an extension of state punishment that exacerbates poverty and diminishes citizenship rights. By telling the stories of men caught in vicious cycles of bureaucratic control, Halushka demonstrates the urgent need to shift reentry away from an austerity-driven, compliance-based framework and toward a vision of social justice and inclusion.

  Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics for Food Security

  Chandrasekar Vuppalapati

  Climate change, increasing population, food-versus-fuel economics, pandemics, etc. pose a threat to food security to unprecedented levels. It has fallen upon the practitioners of agriculture and technologists of the world to innovate and become more productive to address the multi-pronged food security challenges. Agricultural innovation is key to managing food security concerns. The infusion of data science, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, satellites data, geospatial data, climatology, sensor technologies, and climate modeling with traditional agricultural practices such as soil engineering, fertilizers use, and agronomy are some of the best ways to achieve this. Data science helps farmers to unravel patterns in fertilizer pricing, equipment usage, transportation and storage costs, yield per hectare, and weather trends to better plan and spend resources. AI enables farmers to learn from fellow farmers to apply best techniques that are transferred learning from AI to improve agricultural productivity and to achieve financial sustainability. Sensor technologies play an important role in getting real-time farm field data and provide feedback loops to improve overall agricultural practices and can yield huge productivity gains. Advanced Analytics modeling is essential software technique that codifies farmers’ tacit knowledge such as better seed per soil, better feed for dairy cattle breed, or production practices to match weather pattern that was acquired over years of their hard work to share with worldwide farmers to improve overall production efficiencies, the best antidote to food security issue. In addition to the paradigm shift, economic sustainability of small farms is a major enabler of food security. The book reviews all these technological advances and proposes macroeconomic pricing models that data mines macroeconomic signals and the influence of global economic trends on small farm sustainability to provide actionable insights to farmers to avert any financial disasters due to recurrent economic crises.

  Mexican Philosophy for the 21st Century: Relajo, Zozobra, and Other Frameworks for Understanding Our World

Powered by a commitment to use Mexican philosophy to navigate the perplexing world we inhabit, Sánchez challenges the blanket application of Eurocentric philosophy to our 21st-century concerns. This is an essential starting point for Latin American philosophy scholars and anyone approaching Mexican philosophy for the very first time.
