This Supplement provides supporting material for Abbott et al. (2016a). We briefly summarize past electromagnetic (EM) follow-up efforts as well as the organization and policy of the current EM follow-up program. We compare the four probability sky maps produced for the gravitational-wave transient GW150914, and provide additional details of the EM follow-up observations that were performed in the different bands.

There is an understanding that political views in the world are increasingly polarised - one dominant idea will be considered far right and those who are not on that side of the fence will get attracted towards the far left. The first evident indication of this phenomenon in India came soon after the country announced the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The nation was divided into two factions and opposing forces joined various protests. Some took it to social and print media, and some took it to streets with the support of certain organisations whose preamble is against India's Constitution. One such organisation which is under investigation is the Popular Front of India (PFI). Since the beginning of the year 2020, the PFI has been vocal as concerns its contestation against the various decisions taken by India's judiciary. The PFI has been found to be involved in Anti- Citizenship Amendment Act protests. The PFI is registered at Delhi under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. The organisation has been using passive methods to attain larger goals and objectives which run against India's social fabric. It was found to be involved in several transnational terror activities and many social and political conflicts in India. A Popular Front of India member was exposed as 'ISIS sympathiser' on Facebook and linked with Harkat Ul Jihad al- Islami, Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Al Qaeda. This article aims to elaborate about the structure, aim and activities of the organisation and the ways in which it has managed to become a pan-India movement. The article concludes with a discussion on some recommendations intended to face the challenge regarding how to proscribe groups like the PFI.

Mark-up cyclical behaviour is relevant in determining the size of government spending multiplier on output. While theoretical literature priviliged the counteryclical hypothesis, empirical evidence is far from being conclusive. Based on seminal Rotemberg and Saloner (1986) contribution, we build a theoretical framework based on Bertrand duopoly, stochastic demand and product differentiation, where the analysis of cartel stability under partial collusion points towards procyclical pricing. According to the intensity of marginal cost cyclicality, this can produce a procyclical mark up or - at least- render it less countercyclical than expected, with relevant effects on the transmission mechanism of government spending stimuli.

This paper analyses the political future of the Indian National Congress (INC). The abysmal performance in elections at various levels shows that the INC, the grand old party, is losing its grip among the masses. Even in the ideological and organizational context the INC is facing problems in some form or other. Recently a group of 23 dissenting leaders wrote a letter to interim president Sonia Gandhi and questioning the party's functioning. We aim to analyse, compare and discuss the Congress' crucial ideological stands and shifts, as well as the main defects in its electoral strategies for the Lok Sabha elections of 2014 and 2019. Although the Congress has managed to win elections in some states, this study suggests that affirmative actions need to be taken so as to reform the party's organizational functioning and improve its electoral performance. Our conclusion is that the Congress needs to revisit its foundational principles and rich political history so as to reconnect with the electorate.

On 17th February 2021, a group of 24 foreign diplomats arrived in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) for a two-day visit. The group was headed by European Union (EU) Ambassador Ugo Astuto and was comprised of envoys from various EU member states – including French envoy Emmanuel Lenain, Italian envoy Vinceno de Luca, Swedish envoy Klas Molin, Irish envoy Brendan ward, Dutch envoy Maren van den Berg and Bangladeshi envoy Mohammad Imran. Envoys from countries such as Brazil, Cuba, Estonia, Finland, Tajikistan, Portugal, Malawi, Eritrea, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Malaysia, Bolivia, Belgium and Kyrgyzstan also accompanied the group. The tour's primary purpose was to assess the ground situation and normalcy in J&K. The delegation visited J&K for the first time since the outbreak of covid-19 pandemic. It was the third visitor delegation to the valley since the state's bifurcation and the removal of special status within India's constitution. Last year two groups visited J&K – in January and February. The present delegation meeting was endorsed by the government so as to access the ground situation after the District Development Council (DDC) elections (Haider, 2021). According to reports, the valley observed a complete shutdown - and tight security measures were taken to protect the visitors during their stay (Ashiq, 2021). After these arrived in the capital city, they visited various places and met with different key stakeholders. A meeting with both the DDC and Panchayat members was scheduled on the outskirts of the city, in the Budgam district. […]

The adoption of practices such as washing hands for a minimum of 20 seconds, excessive and frequent sanitisation, maintaining physical distance, etc. has compelled us to change our behaviours and adapt to the crisis, even if reluctantly. Amidst this pandemic, the world continues to face an ongoing environmental crisis. We still have many and much urgent problems to counter which are related to our behaviour towards the environment. This article will review past influences of behavioural economics on policymaking and inquire as regards the ways in which behavioural economics can play a significant role in the future. Our goal is to design effective and efficient, behaviourally 'guarded' environmental policies.
