A Round-up of the Kreaverse
|
Mixed Emotions. This phrase encapsulates the spirit of this week's edition. Every corner of the Kreaverse resonates with a blend of sentiments — goodbyes, hope, aspirations, and the anticipation of new beginnings. July has been a whirlwind of welcoming new faces, each stepping into Krea University with dreams and determination.
As the incoming cohort from both IFMR GSB (Graduate School of Business) and SIAS (School of Interwoven Arts and Sciences) begin to settle into their new home away from home, our dedicated seniors are going the extra mile to guide and support them. The Krea family is committed to ensuring that everyone feels safe and welcome. The orientation sessions have been meticulously planned to offer a comprehensive glimpse of the life that awaits both within and outside the classroom.
And that's not all — there’s some entertainment spilling over into the weekend, promising a delightful blend of relaxation and fun for all.

Sayantan Datta, Assistant Professor of Practice, Krea - CWP (Centre for Writing & Pedagogy) has co-authored a book chapter titled Trials & Tribulations of LGBTQ+ People at Work as Barriers to Their Job Satisfaction: A Minority Stress Theory Perspective. This chapter, co-authored with Professor Uma Warrier, Professor at the Centre for Management Studies, Jain University, and Gouri Priya, Clinical Counselor at Workplace Options, has been published in the book Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Creating Value Based Sustainable Organizations (Routledge, 2024).
In their peer-reviewed book chapter, Warrier, Priya and Datta draw upon their collaborative qualitative study that used semi-structured interviews with 32 queer and transgender participants to identify unique stressors that individuals from these minority groups encounter at the workplace. The findings of the study also emphasise the need for targeted interventions that could help people with diverse genders and sexualities to manage their ‘minority stress’ and improve their job satisfaction. The authors first presented their paper in a conference earlier this year at the University of Hyderabad.

Conversations that Matter

Earth is protected from harmful radiation and energetic charged particles through its dense atmosphere and invisible magnetic shield known as magnetosphere. Sometimes our host star Sun emits harmful radiation and particle bursts, alongside its life-sustaining light and warmth. When these particles reach Earth, they often break open the magnetic shield to some extent and interact with our atmosphere and ionosphere.
The ionosphere is a part of our atmosphere at higher heights wherein a small portion of the atmospheric atoms and molecules are stripped into charged particles by sunlight. Indeed, the ozone absorbs less energetic UV light than those creating the ionosphere. Hence the formation of the ionosphere consumes more powerful UV and x-ray from the Sun, thereby ensuring existence of life on Earth’s surface.
A part of the research activities of Dr Lakshmi Narayanan, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, SIAS, Krea University investigates the effects of the angry Sun on the Earth’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere.

Dr Narayanan participated in COSPAR 2024, the 45th Scientific Assembly of the Committee on Space Research held in Busan, Korea. At this major biennial international event amongst space sciences, on 17 July, 2024 Dr Narayanan delivered a talk titled Global response of topside ionosphere to the severe geomagnetic storm of April 2023, where he presented his research results on the case study of a magnetospheric breaking event that happened during 23-24 April 2023.

In addition, from 20 June to 23 July, 2024 Dr Narayanan is visiting the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University, Japan for carrying out a collaborative research project tilted On the impact of geomagnetic disturbances in the gravity wave and tidal dynamics of the mesosphere in the auroral region, funded under the ISEE Joint Research Program, Japan. The project investigates the impact of space weather events caused by solar ejections on the Earth's middle and upper atmosphere.
