Perceptions of females participating in a perceived ‘masculine sport’ : dragon boat by Vijaikumar Rangabashayam

“…Nevertheless, stereotyping of women, particularly in areas such as Sport, still exists today. Therefore, the perceptions of female athletes participating in a perceived ‘masculine’ sport - Dragon Boat, will be examined by determining the effects of gender (male vs. female) and athletic identity (athlete vs. non-athlete) on these perceptions. …”

The battle for Asia in crude oil markets: an easier road ahead for India? by Sen, A

“…The first is the complete deregulation of major petroleum products prices and the second is the sharp fall in oil prices amidst a fight for market share in Asia among crude producers, implying importing countries like India are now spoilt for choice and in a far better position to bargain for better prices. Even though the drop in prices is unlikely to last (given the high cost on the supply side) and prices are likely to pick back up to at least the US$80–100 per barrel range in the coming years, India will remain in a privileged position compared to a few years ago, as the continued growth of US tight oil means producers from all around the world will still focus on Asia to sell their crude. …”
