Research Paper: Cricket and Indian National ConsciousnessAnkur Pandey
Cricket has played an important role in uniting India and shaping national consciousness. It was adopted in colonial India both to challenge British rule at their own game and to promote Indian culture. Over time, as the media coverage of cricket expanded and commercial interests grew, cricket became deeply tied to expressions of nationalism, especially in high-profile matches against Pakistan.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
