From Stateless in Myanmar to Illegal Migrants in India: Social Resilience of Rohingyas in Jammu

2024-05-03T06:22:52+00:00

The religious extremism and conflict in the Rakhine state of Myanmar have forced Rohingyas to migrate from this region to other parts of the world. The military offensive, selective discrimination, mass violence, and genocide compelled these people to leave their homeland or face insult, injury, imprisonment, or even death. This involuntary migration also leads to the loss of one's identity and community relations leading to social, economic, and cultural consequences for these people. Many international agencies have also reported gendered-based violence against Rohingya women during their perilous journey. The migration of Rohingya Muslims to different regions of India and Jammu dep icts a case of social resilience and reflexivity where a migrant readjusts to a new social, political, and cultural space. This study attempts to understand the social dynamics of forced migration and the readjustment of these migrants in Jammu (Northern India). The phenomenological approach has guided the whole study, and an attempt has been made to document the lived experiences of the respondents. The data has been collected using qualitative research methodology, and methods such as Interviews, observation, and focus group discussion have been used during Fieldwork.

Caviar Waterwheel Plant Optimization-Based Feature Selection For Early Stage Chronic Kidney Disease Big Data

2024-05-04T11:43:20+00:00

Chronic kidney disease, also termed as chronic renal disease or CKD, is a condition distinguished by a progressive loss in kidneys function over time. Diabetes as well as high blood pressure is the major frequent reason of CKD and sometimes it leads to death if it is left untreated. Several approaches were developed so far to find the CKD but, they failed due to lack of sufficient features and proper selection of features. In order to overcome such gaps, a hybrid optimization-driven model is developed for feature selection of early Stage of CKD utilizing Big data. The input big data is subjected to a data partitioning phase, which is conducted by Bayesian Fuzzy Clustering (BFC). Thereafter, the partitioned data is fed into the Spark architecture which includes two nodes

- a slave node and a master node. After that, pre-processing is carried out by the slave nodes utilizing the z-score normalization approach. Each node pre-processes a portion of the data and sends the output to the master node. The master node merges fused data from all the slave nodes. Finally, feature selection is done based on proposed Conditional Autoregressive Value-at-Risk Water Wheel Plant Algorithm (CWWPA), where fitness is based on entropy. The proposed CWWPA is devised by incorporating the Water Wheel Plant Algorithm (WWPA) and the CAViaR concept. CWWPA achieved maximum correlation coefficient of 0.948 also achieved minimum entropy of 0.399 with cluster size=6.

Efficient Classification of Hyperspectral Image s Using Multiscale Relation Learning

2024-05-14T07:48:43+00:00

The classification of hyperspectral images (HSIs) has emerged as a key area of interest in remote sensing and has prompted the investigation of several approaches in recent years. Because of its strong feature extraction capabilities, deep learning has become popular; nevertheless, because of its low discriminative capability, traditional methods frequently produce subpar results. Furthermore, the lack of labelled data makes it difficult to achieve high classification accuracy with small sample sizes in HSI classification. This study suggests a novel method that combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with different feature learning techniques to address these problems. The model creates pertinent feature maps for each input feature by feeding a customized CNN architecture with a wide variety of characteristics that are directly retrieved from raw images. These joint feature maps are then used by further layers to forecast final labels for each pixel in the hyperspectral image and this method takes advantage of CNNs' improved feature extraction capabilities while efficiently combining spectral and spatial information to maximize the generated features' discriminative potential. The development of hyperspectral imaging technology, which enables sensors to take pictures in hundreds of bands, highlights the importance of hyperspectral image classification for remote sensing applications. This technology is useful in many different fields, such as monitoring geological disasters, military reconnaissance, monitoring vegetation and ecology, and atmospheric assessment. With multiscale relation learning we have achieved the accuracy rate of 96.13% and 82.6% recall as well.

2024-05-03T07:01:38+00:00

Rubella, caused by the rubella virus, poses a significant risk to pregnant women, leading to congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in infants. Despite being a self-limiting disease, its consequences during pregnancy can be severe. Rubella vaccination has been crucial in reducing its prevalence. However, inadequate vaccination coverage poses challenges, especially in developing countries like India. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 105 school-going girls aged 7-15 years in Chennai. Blood samples were collected to assess rubella IgG antibody titres using ELISA. Children with documented primary rubella vaccination were included, while those with chronic illnesses or undocumented immunizations were excluded. Of the participants, 80% had protective rubella IgG antibody titres (>10 IU/ml), while 20% had titres below the protective level. Majority received two doses of rubella vaccine (54.3%), while 45.7% received a single dose. Adolescents aged 14-15 years showed the highest proportion (85.7%) of inadequate antibody levels. There was a significant decrease in protective antibody titres with increasing age (p<0.01). The study highlights a seroprevalence of 80% for protective rubella antibodies among school-going girls. However, a substantial proportion, especially adolescents, had inadequate antibody levels. This underscores the need for additional rubella vaccination, possibly through the inclusion of the MMR vaccine in the immunization schedule, to enhance population immunity and prevent CRS.

Comparison Between Ordinary Dressing And Total Cast Offloading Dressing In Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients.

2024-05-08T11:09:39+00:00

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and serious complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity and increased mortality. Effective management of DFUs is critical to prevent complications, including amputations. Traditional dressings are widely used but may not adequately offload pressure from the ulcerated area, while total cast offloading is considered more effective in pressure alleviation but less frequently utilized due to perceived patient inconvenience and cost.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of ordinary dressing methods with total cast offloading in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers among a sample of 160 patients.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial enrolled 160 patients with grade 1 or 2 diabetic foot ulcers, as classified by the Wagner scale. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard wound care with ordinary dressings (n=80) or total cast offloading (n=80). The primary outcome was the rate of complete ulcer healing over a 12-week period. Secondary outcomes included healing time, infection rates, and patient-reported satisfaction.

Results: The total cast offloading group demonstrated a significantly higher rate of complete ulcer healing (72.5%) compared to the ordinary dressing group (53.75%) (p < 0.05). Additionally, the average healing time was shorter, and fewer infections were reported in the total cast offloading group. Patient satisfaction scores were also higher in the cast offloading group, despite initial reservations about comfort and mobility.

Conclusion: Total cast offloading is more effective than ordinary dressings in promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers, suggesting that it should be considered more routinely in the management of this condition.

2024-05-08T11:57:42+00:00

Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a crucial role in the personal and professional development of individuals, and it has become increasingly important in the current educational landscape. Generation Z students, born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, have unique characteristics and experiences that necessitate tailored strategies for developing their emotional intelligence in higher education settings. This abstract explores effective strategies for fostering emotional intelligence among Generation Z students in higher education. Firstly, creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment is vital for promoting emotional intelligence. Higher education institutions should prioritize cultivating a sense of belonging and psychological safety, providing students with opportunities to express their emotions, thoughts, and concerns freely. Incorporating cooperative learning activities, peer mentoring programs, and inclusive classroom discussions can enhance empathy, active listening, and conflict resolution skills. Secondly, integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) into the curriculum can be an effective strategy. By explicitly teaching emotional literacy, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills, educators can equip Generation Z students with the necessary tools to navigate their emotions effectively. Incorporating SEL into various disciplines, such as through case studies, role-playing exercises, and reflective writing assignments, can reinforce emotional intelligence development across diverse academic subjects. Thirdly, leveraging technology as a tool for emotional intelligence development is crucial for Generation Z students. Educational platforms and applications can offer interactive resources, virtual simulations, and gamified experiences that engage students and encourage self-reflection. Additionally, digital tools can provide students with real-time feedback, self-assessment opportunities, and personalized learning experiences, enhancing their emotional intelligence competencies. Furthermore, fostering interpersonal connections and promoting face-to-face interactions are essential strategies in developing emotional intelligence. Generation Z students, often referred to as digital natives, may benefit from initiatives that encourage offline socialization, such as group projects, community engagement, and extracurricular activities. By fostering meaningful relationships, students can develop empathy, communication skills, and conflict resolution abilities. Lastly, educators and higher education institutions should prioritize their own emotional intelligence development. Modeling emotionally intelligent behaviors, practicing self-care, and demonstrating empathy towards students can create an environment conducive to emotional intelligence growth. Faculty training programs and professional development workshops can equip educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to support the emotional well-being and development of Generation Z students effectively.

Intrarenal Artery Resistive Index – An Invaluable Tool In Detecting Obstructive Uropathy

2024-05-11T09:56:51+00:00

Background: Ultrasound is more sensitive than being specific in the diagnosis of renal obstruction. Ultrasound provides less details about the pelvicalyceal anatomy and incomplete visualization of the dilated ureter. It cannot provide the functional information; thus, it lacks the specificity of the excretory urography. In a significant of number of cases ultrasound proves to be less sensitive, where pelvicalyceal system dilatation is absent. This study evaluates the use of intrarenal artery resistive index in detecting obstructive uropathy.

Aim: Comparison of intrarenal arterial doppler RI in obstructed vs non-obstructed ureters and evaluating the diagnostic precision of intrarenal doppler resistive index in ureteric obstruction.

Methodology: This prospective study included 100 patients in the age group of 18 to 70 years, with acute ureteric colic secondary to unilateral ureteric obstruction caused by calculus, that is validated either by grey scale imaging and aliasing in colour doppler or by Intravenous Urography. The intra-renal RI values were recorded in every patient.

Result: RI was higher in obstructed kidneys in all the cases with a Mean RI of > 0.06. The mean peak systolic velocity (PSV) value and the end diastolic velocity (EDV) value were lower in the obstructed kidney as compared to the non-obstructed kidney.

Conclusion: The conventional evaluation of kidneys, ureter and bladder are done using grey scale imaging. In a few instances standard greyscale evaluation falls short, when collecting system dilatation is absent. Hence adding the duplex doppler with RI as marker, to the standard protocol of obstructive uropathy evaluation proves to be a highly sensitive tool for diagnosis.

A Historical Mythopoeia In Women Of Ramayan: The Untold Stories By Kunal Kaushal

2024-05-11T11:59:23+00:00

A historical mythopoeia is imbibing the history to create an artificial mythology out of a mythological tale. Mythopoeia is a narrative genre in modern literature where artificial mythology is created. This meaning is given by J.R.R. Tolkein in 1930. The term mythopoeia comes from Hellenistic Greek ‘muthopoiia’ meaning “myth-making”. The definition of mythopoeia ‘creating myth’ is first recorded in 1846. Kunal Kaushal in his book Women of Ramayan: The Untold Stories created a historical mythopoeia by uncovering the layers of distant past. This study attempts to peel away the layers of mythology to draw attention to the core of the historical tale. Kunal Kaushal presents the events in the way they might have happened. He chooses a feminist perspective to create a historical mythopoeia. His female characters manage to change the course of history. Kaushal believes that mythology is simply an extension of history into the times of which we cannot be certain. He dives into 2000 years of past events that happened in the historical landmass of Jambudvip (India). This study analyzes the logical, factual and historical account of the mythological events occurred in Ramayana with the point of view of female characters. The female characters are Ahalya, Kaikeyi, Surpankha, Mandodari and Tara. Their story is told with a feminist, historical and political approach to justify their role in the history.

Exploring The Role Of Indigenous African Religion In African Folktales: An Analysis Of Ancestral Beliefs And Cultural Preservation

2024-05-15T11:42:17+00:00

Quite often we have witnessed the visibility of Indigenous African Religion (IAR) in many if not all African oral literature, mostly in folklore. Most characters in African folktales are mostly rescued by ancestors who appear to be characters in the form of animals. Children as recipients of oral literature grow up with the strong belief that ancestors are capable of rescuing members of their lineage every time they are in trouble. Ancestral belief is a religion categorized under the Indigenous African Religion (IAR). For many years, even before the invasion of Western missionaries, all African people across the entire African continent had only the IAR as their only religion that guided their lives and answered the most intricate supernatural questions. This religion was able to provide answers to the difficult questions of life after death and the powers that the ancestors have on our prosperity and well-being. This article reports on the study that focused on the visibility and part played by African Indigenous Religion in African oral literature. The study followed a qualitative research approach where a case study design, was adopted. Data were generated through focus group interviews and cultural analysis. The study found that: many African folktales have AIR used mainly to rescue characters. Two, the role played by the AIR brings forth the strong message that ancestors as agents of IAR have absolute control and protection over the lives of African people. These findings have at least two implications. Firstly, the Indigenous African Religion is innate to all African people; most African Christians have IAR first before converting to Christianity. All these findings imply that African people have dual religions; they wake up early in the morning and appease their ancestors and in the afternoon, they wear the Western rope of honour and go to church

For evaluation of Risk of Bias (RoB), approximately 67% of the studies exhibited a ‘definitely low’ RoB, high quality of evidence (4+), and sufficient strength of evidence on the positive association between heatwave and their impacts on healthcare services. Overall, the duration and intensity of heatwaves showed a direct proportional relationship with the healthcare burden in developing countries. Therefore, policymakers and stakeholders must implement effective preparative planning and preventative efforts to ensure sustainability and efficient delivery of healthcare services, especially by allocating sufficient resources towards improving basic infrastructures and healthcare services.

An Empirical Investigation On Competency Mapping In Monitoring The Performance Appraisal In It Sector

2024-05-15T04:45:20+00:00

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Information Technology (IT) sector, effective performance appraisal systems are indispensable for ensuring organizational success. However, despite their importance, many IT organizations struggle with monitoring performance appraisals effectively due to various challenges. One significant challenge lies in the lack of a comprehensive competency mapping framework tailored specifically to the unique demands of the IT sector. In the IT sector, where roles range from software development to cyber security and project management, the diversity and complexity of competencies necessitate a nuanced approach to performance appraisal. Yet, many organizations in the IT sector grapple with defining and evaluating these competencies accurately. The primary issues faced by IT organizations in performance appraisal monitoring are the ambiguity surrounding job roles and expectations. With technology evolving at a rapid pace, job roles within the IT sector are continually evolving, leading to a lack of clarity regarding the core competencies required for each role. This ambiguity makes it challenging for managers to assess employee performance objectively and provide meaningful feedback during appraisals. The dynamic nature of the IT sector poses challenges in keeping competency frameworks up-to-date. Traditional performance appraisal systems often rely on static competency models that fail to adapt to the changing demands of the industry. As new technologies emerge and skill requirements evolve, outdated competency frameworks become obsolete, rendering performance evaluations ineffective in gauging employees' true capabilities. The IT sector is characterized by a diverse workforce comprising individuals with varying educational backgrounds, technical expertise, and career aspirations.

Contract Labor Trends And Regulations:Asia Pacific (Apac) Countries Perspective

2024-05-15T07:31:03+00:00

Contract labour is referred to as contingent workforce around the world. Many, if not most, organizations now use a combination of contingent and non-contingent staff. A contingent worker can be a freelancer, independent consultant, contractor, part-timer, on-call worker, or someone with another form of alternative employment arrangement.Contingent workers operate on a project-based model, meaning they are engaged specifically for particular tasks or projects, rather than being hired for ongoing, continuous employment. In essence, they are brought in as needed, depending on the requirements of each project. Unlike permanent employees who have ongoing roles within the organization, contingent workers are typically not guaranteed ongoing work beyond the scope of the current project they are hired for.

In this paper we review the trends in engagement of contract labor legal frameworks governing contingent labor in various APAC nations, including China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand.

2022-02-11T15:08:14+00:00

In Indonesia, education funding provided by the central government is made up of the components of personnel costs, investment costs, and operating costs. Since its implementation in 2005, the program has found several obstacles. It’s crucial to have an optimization tool to overcome the complications. The main problems that have arisen in the allocation of these funds so far have been lacking in planning and the lack of participation of the school ecosystem, in particular in determining the planning, planning documents and the priority scale of the projects. Program and activity plans based on the School Operating Assistance (BOS) platform. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model is a prioritization approach based on determining the priority scale on the comparison of one option with another. The AHP model is a powerful but simple method that is usually used to make decisions. This approach has been implemented in various sectors, business, government, management, and education. In this study, the AHP model was used to determine the priority scale on the criteria of BOS allocated funds in the current year so that it could be absorbed optimally and can be utilized properly in its implementation for Vocational School activities. The results of the study show that the use of AHP makes it easier for school residents to prioritize the use of funds for school activities. Using the AHP model allows managers to record strategic goals using weighted criteria as the basis for prioritizing the use of funds. AHP can also work among different stakeholders in the school (principals, treasurers, teachers, and committee, parents/guardians) to participate in decisions about the use of BOS funds, to improve the quality and form of decision support taken to improve school performance.

The Tribal Question And The Cultural Dilemma: Reading Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar's The Adivasi Will Not Dance

2024-05-04T08:44:03+00:00

This paper aims to explore the intricacies of the Santhal identity and the multifarious challenges posed to it since the inception of British colonial advances on the Indian subcontinent, navigating through a travesty of memories, which leave only footprints on the socio-political textual knowledge canvas. Landscape, as the ‘poetry of earth’ (Keats 83), partakes a garb of a neo-liberal fatality as and when the all-intrusive idea of ‘home’ transcends the wistful spatial limit. Focusing on Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar's The Adivasi Will Not Dance (2015), the paper alludes to the materiality of the Adivasi life in motion, exiting the historical stereotypes and pervading into the realms of morbid locales. The Adivasi is always amidst a cultural dilemma, trying to establish its own place within the demarcations of post-colonial scholarship and the rudimentary legitimacy that is granted by the elite intelligentsia. The Adivasis have been, at times, treated as heinously as Naxalites and marginalized as the Dalits, so much so that a distinguished section of litterateurs still consider them incapable of contemplation and decision-making. I explore Shekhar’s story in this realm, treating the text as a fragmentation of the environment that becomes immobile with circumstances embedded in the Santhal lifestyle. The preservation of a settled landscape renders ‘fleeing’ impossible and the indigenous population endures a fermenting suffocation, ‘unsettled’ with the change of domesticity. This paper aims to travel with the narrator, grafting a constellation of this unprecedented derogation of development and adapting the reflective narratives into a memorial landscape of its own.

Anthropometric Indicators As Early Predictors Of Cardiovascular Disease In Infants Of Diabetic Mothers: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study

2024-05-08T11:07:00+00:00

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) affects approximately 7% of pregnancies and increases the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes and future metabolic disorders in offspring, including cardiovascular disease (CVD)(1,2). The pathophysiological adjustments in insulin resistance and adipose metabolism during GDM may influence fetal growth patterns, potentially affecting CVD risk early in life(3,5,8). This study aims to evaluate anthropometric indicators as predictors of CVD risks in infants born to mothers with GDM, drawing on the principles of the Barker hypothesis regarding early metabolic programming (9,10)

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 101 infants born to diabetic mothers at Saveetha Medical College & Research Centre between September 2020 and September 2022. Using the Ballard system for gestational age assessment, infants were classified as appropriate for gestational age (AGA), small for gestational age (SGA), or large for gestational age (LGA) based on birth weight. Anthropometric measurements taken at birth included weight, length, head circumference, abdominal circumference, and the ponderal index. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board.

Results: In the study, significant differences in neonatal anthropometric measures were evident across three groups: appropriate for gestational age (AGA), small for gestational age (SGA), and large for gestational age (LGA). The Kruskal-Wallis H test highlighted distinct disparities, particularly notable between AGA and LGA groups in birth weight (χ²(2) = 39.68, p < .001), with the AGA group averaging a median weight of 2.96 kg compared to 3.81 kg for the LGA group. Similarly, birth length and head circumference varied significantly, with SGA infants showing the lowest medians and highest variability. These findings align with the objectives to assess and categorize anthropometric variations and their implications for cardiovascular risks. Maternal HbA1c levels also demonstrated a significant impact, with higher HbA1c levels correlating with adverse neonatal outcomes. In the LGA group, 50% of children had mothers with HbA1c levels greater than 8, compared to only 7.2% of AGA infants. This data is crucial for understanding the predictive relationships between maternal glycemic control and neonatal health outcomes.

Conclusion: The study confirms that variations in key anthropometric measurements are linked to maternal glycemic control and can predict cardiovascular risk factors in neonates. The significant differences in anthropometry among AGA, SGA, and LGA groups highlight the need for targeted prenatal monitoring and interventions to mitigate future cardiovascular risks, emphasizing the importance of managing gestational diabetes effectively to improve health outcomes for both mothers and their children.

Legal Transplantation of Land Bank in Indonesia: A Comparative Study of Land Bank Policy from Leading Country

2024-05-10T11:33:10+00:00

Indonesia is facing a severe housing crisis, compounded by rising property prices resulting from limited urban space. Data analysis provided by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) highlights a significant backlog in residential ownership, totaling 12.75 million units. Unfortunately, only 59.5% of these units meet the necessary standards for habitability. Mass land acquisition practices by a select few were observed. The potential increase in land prices due to speculative solid activities presents a pressing issue, given the economic and social impacts it generates. However, implementing the Land Bank for this problem still faces various problems. This paper aims to develop an optimal policy for enacting the land bank concept through legal transplantation between the United States and Indonesia. This study employs a conceptual and comparative methodology, examining land bank policies in both Indonesia and the United States. Comparative analysis was carried out to assess the similarities and differences between the two countries' approaches. Data collection involved a comprehensive review of literature pertaining to diverse land bank regulations. Based on the research findings, Indonesia can enhance its land bank management by adopting principles from the United States' land bank framework. The US model features adaptable non-profit organizations benefiting from well-defined state-level regulations. These entities concentrate on community revitalization efforts and frequently secure federal funding, streamlining legal procedures. Establishing land banks at the local level promotes community involvement. Indonesia should contemplate enacting specialized legislation, fostering collaborative partnerships, pursuing international grants, and streamlining bureaucratic processes to optimize the effectiveness of its land bank initiatives.

The Autonomous District Councils in Mizoram: Issues and Challenges

2024-05-11T09:49:25+00:00

In the Constitution of India, there are 12 Schedules. The ‘Schedule’ of the Constitution of India are those tables that provide additional information that is not mentioned in the articles. Out of them, the Sixth Schedule deals with the ‘Tribal Areas’[i] in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura. These Tribal Areas are administered as autonomous districts. These autonomous districts are not outside the executive authority of the State concerned but provision is made for the creation of District Councils and Regional Councils[ii] for the exercise of certain legislative and judicial functions. These councils are primarily representative bodies and they have the power of law-making in certain fields such as management of forests other than reserved forests, inheritance of property, marriage, and social customs.[iii]

[i] The Tribal Areas are those in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura as specified by the 6th Schedule under Article 244(2) of the Constitution of India.

[ii] There is no Regional Council under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution of India at present. There was one Regional Council—The Pawi-Lakher Regional Council (PLRC)—under the provision of the 6th Schedule in Mizo District (the present Mizoram) of Assam. The PLRC was abolished when Mizo District of Assam was upgraded to the status of a Union Territory of Mizoram. It can be mentioned here that the PLRC was divided into three Regional Councils: the Chakma Regional Council, the Lakher Regional Council and the Pawi Regional Council on 2nd April 1972. Within one month, these Regional Councils were upgraded to district councils—the Chakma Autonomous District Council, the Lakher (Mara) Autonomous Council and the Pawi (Lai) Autonomous Council—on 29 April 1972.

Nikah Halala Under Muslim Personal Law: A Critical Appraisal

2024-05-14T05:19:04+00:00

The practice of 'Nikah Halala' under Muslim personal law, which mandates that a woman divorced through an irrevocable ' Talaq' must marry another man and consummate that marriage before she can remarry her original husband, is often misinterpreted and misused. Initially intended to prevent hasty divorces by complicating remarriage, Nikah Halala was designed to deter men from impulsively divorcing and then easily reconciling with their wives. However, the practice has been corrupted into a form of exploitation, termed 'Halala-fixing,' where the process is manipulated to force women into exploitative and abusive situations. These arranged marriages are not genuine unions but rather transactions aimed at circumventing remarriage rules, leading to severe psychological, physical, and financial abuse of women. Such malpractices have been likened to rape under the Indian Penal Code and Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, as they involve coercing women into sexual relations not as acts of marital intimacy but as responses to arbitrary divorces. This paper analyzes Nikah Halala's legal aspects and examines the trauma experienced by women coerced into such practices under the guise of religious observance. It seeks to uncover the deep-seated issues and implications of distorted Nikah Halala practices, emphasizing the urgent need for critical examination and reform to protect women's rights. The exploration highlights the necessity of understanding and addressing the legal and ethical challenges posed by such practices within the context of women's rights and societal impact.

Legis Ratio To The Implementation Of Chemical Castration Sanctions Against Pedophilia Perpetrators In Indonesia (A Comparative Study Of Indonesian And South Korea Legal Based On Human Rights And Health Law Perspectives)

2024-05-15T05:54:09+00:00

The implementation of chemical castration sanctions in Indonesia still has pros and cons. Regulations on providing chemical castration sanctions to perpetrators of crimes of sexual violence against children have been accommodated in Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2016 concerning Government Decree in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection Becomes Law. However, existing regulations still leave problems regarding implementation procedures that are not considered to violate human rights and violate medical ethics. This research uses a normative juridical method with a comparative approach to the legal regulation of chemical castration in South Korea. Chemical castration can be applied and is not seen as a violation of human rights when chemical castration is intended for the purpose of rehabilitation of perpetrators who suffer from pedophilia. And there is a need for recommendations for medical procedures for chemical castration so that it is not only based on the judge's considerations in imposing sanctions for chemical castration. Efforts and implementation of these procedures must be realized by the State in creating legal products that are comprehensive in nature and include the development of protection in terms of human rights and medical aspects.

Navigating The Maze: Assessing CSR Compliance And Regional Disparities In India's Business Landscape

2024-05-15T09:59:04+00:00

A greater commitment to societal and ecological duties is reflected in the increasing recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a crucial element of contemporary business practices. Laws and shifting stakeholder dynamics have led to a noticeable increase in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in India.The absence of clear guidelines for the allocation of funding for regional development under the Companies Act of 2013. Because of this, localities that have already started down their development paths tend to receive a larger share of CSR allocations, which marginalises less developed areas and widens already existing socioeconomic gaps. CSR initiatives are being adopted by Indian businesses more frequently, indicating a move towards sustainable and socially conscious business practices. This article explores how Indian companies comply with the CSR requirements outlined in the Companies Act of 2013 and its later amendments. Through in-depth analysis, the study assesses how consistently these companies adhere to the established CSR criteria and investigates the potential for regional disparities in CSR initiatives across the country. By establishing CSR activities in the context of Indian legislative parameters, this study offers a nuanced perspective on the uniformity and potency of CSR activity. Additionally, this article emphasises a fundamental concern: while CSR funding primarily seek the benefit of communities and the environment, they unwittingly reinforce regional inequities. This problem arises from the Companies Act of 2013's absence of clear guidelines for the allocation of cash for local development. Consequently, localities on well-defined development paths frequently receive a larger share of CSR funding, marginalising less developed areas and exacerbating already-existing socioeconomic inequalities.

The Role Of OTT Platforms In Influencing The Social And Ethical Values Of The Society

2024-05-15T11:39:37+00:00

India, a country known for its vast variety and rich cultural legacy, has a history that has been molded over millennia by a wide range of social, moral, and cultural forces. These ideas have been profoundly embedded in Indian culture via interactions with many civilizations, philosophies, and faiths over time. Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms have become effective means of presenting this diversity in the modern day by offering a variety of viewpoints. Although these platforms give prominence to underrepresented people, they also mirror social issues like the glamorization of drug use, alcohol use, nudity, and obscenity—concerns that frequently pass for contemporary.

OTT platforms, which provide consumers with the ease of streaming content across numerous devices, have altered the way that people consume entertainment. Today's youngsters have an abundance of alternatives available to them across all genres, unlike previous generations when there were restricted possibilities for entertainment. But in addition to this ease, worries about how OTT platforms can affect moral and cultural norms have surfaced. This study uses surveys and previously published research reports together with primary and secondary data analysis to look at this influence.

Even though OTT platforms have made media consumption more democratic, improper censoring has had unfavorable effects, especially for India's teenage population. The widespread distribution of unsuitable information has exacerbated the breakdown of social and familial ties as well as traditional cultural norms. Therefore, in order to protect India's cultural heritage and encourage responsible media consumption, it is crucial to address the ethical and societal ramifications of the unparalleled access to varied material that OTT platforms provide.

Labour Rights Of Women Construction Workers In India: A Socio-Legal Perspective

2024-05-04T07:10:24+00:00

Neo-liberal policies introduced in 1991 to achieve wealth and profit have led to the decreasing social character of production in India due to privatization and deregulation. The nature of the appropriation of material resources and power by the private players in India’s growing market economy has widened the gap between the rich and poor. The increasing monopoly of business enterprises and the impact of global forces of capital have created underdevelopment and marginalization of workers. The capitalist nature of development in India has generated massive growth discounting the labour rights of workers thereby leading to social inequality and domination of workers. India’s real estate industry faced a boom with a spiralling increase in the information technology and information technology-enabled services sector leading to the emergence of urban metros and urban industrial hubs due to privatization. The real-estate dynamics in India is directly influenced by the growth of the construction sector. The construction sector comprises unskilled, skilled and semi-skilled workers. Women comprise a significant percentage of the informal work-force in the construction sector.

An Anlysis Of Socio - Econiomic And Health Conditions Of Ageing In Chengalpattu District Of Tamilnadu

2024-05-03T04:28:53+00:00

The phenomenon of ageing can be analyzed from the physical, socio-cultural, psychological and functional angles. Physical ageing is defined on the basis of the anatomical biological changes taking place in the life of an individual with the passage of time. It explains the degradation of the physiological and physical process in relation to the chronological age. Social and cultural ageing are inter-relation to the chronological age. Social and cultural ageing are inter-related but differ in the basis of their emphasis. Social ageing denoted the changes in the behavioral pattern and the role and status on individuals in the family. It refers to social roles and expectations related to a person’s age. It is the behavior patterns, beliefs and other products of a particular group that are passed on from generation to generation. Each society has its own langrage. Dress, work, customs and food habits. The Indian culture expected that a girl should be under the father’s control that a wife must be under her husband’s control and that an aged mother must be looked after by her sons. The cultural ageing give importance to the role on an individual during his life span. The individual plays different roles according to the stage in life. During the childhood, early adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood, people are supposed to play the role of the son / daughter, husband / wife, father / mother, and grandfather / grandmother. In the Hindu tradition the ‘vanapratha Ashram’ is considered the stage of old age once they have fulfilled the duties and responsibilities to the family , they retire from active life and move to the hermitage. Psychological aging refers to the state of mind of an individual or how he perceives himself. A positive attitude and continued interest in life and things around him help him in reducing the ageing process and staying young in his activities. People are motivated and interested in being healthy and youthful. Elders who are educationally, economically, socially well off may keep bitter mental health and positive attitudes towards self and life. The individual’s adaptive capacities help him to adjust effectively through learning, coping, controlling emotions, being motivated, thinking more competently, etc., which are considered to be attributes of keeping “psychologically young”.

Background: Cerebral palsy(CP), primarily affecting the motor system is due to damage to the growing brain, results in motor and functional limitations in day-to-day activities. Both Constraint-induced movement therapy(CIMT) and Bimanual therapy(BMT) are the therapy options with better results compared to traditional physiotherapy. Difference in opinion among the researchers persists regarding the Physical improvement and functional improvement following them. This study was conceived to understand physical as well as functional improvement, both from the physician's and parent’s perspective.

Methods: A randomized control trial with triple blinding was conducted with 24 hemiplegic children on each arm with each arm offering either CIMT or BMT for 3-hour/ day@ 5/7days a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Assessments were done before, at the end of 4 weeks, and after 16 weeks to understand the progress and retention of attained improvements. Repeat measure ANOVA was done to assess the significance over time and Correlations were obtained between body functions and outcome measures.

Results: Significant improvement seen with both interventions in overall scores, grasp, and differentiated movements point to an increase in functional skills (p < 0.05). However, CIMT gave significant improvements than BMT in most of the measures during the immediate post-intervention period and was maintained throughout 16-week post-intervention period (p<0.001). Improvement in ICF-CY domains of improving activity, participation, and bodily functions was better in CIMT than BMT in hemiplegic children. However, better improvement in the bimanual use quantitatively was seen in BMT than in the CIMT group. Conclusion: Bimanual use was qualitatively better in hemiplegic CP’s treated with CIMT than by BMT. This was found to correlate better with participation in real-life situations and manual performance. CIMT was found to be having more effect size, with sustained improvement than BMT in hemiplegic CP.

Access of Land Degradation in A Plateau Region: A Case Study of Eastern Chotanagpur Plateau, India

2024-05-08T11:22:39+00:00

Land degradation processes are characteristically different in the tropical and temperate environment. The main purpose of this study is the physical process and the current level of land degradation in the coastal plateau. The Chotanagpur plateau is one of India's most damaged locations due to water erosion. The Shilabati River basin is a true representation of the tropical environment, Granite gneiss geology, Low to moderately developed soil Deteriorating lateritic upland landscape, high drainage density, low to moderately heavy rainfall (100–140 cm), dry tropical deciduous forest cover. The physical parameters used in the study of land degradation include physiographic formations, hydrologic properties, and vegetation cover. Water erosion, vegetation deterioration, and a loss in soil quality are the principal land degradation processes in the study area. The development of undulating landforms is due to the granite-gneiss geologic formation. High soil erosion is caused by underdeveloped soil profile, low organic matter content and poor soil structure. High terrain and sloping terrain create an unstable environment. Fragmented plateaus reduce productivity due to topographic constraints. Considerable the intensity and frequency of drainage in the house increases with the slight slope of the forest towards the large soil land, and erosion is strong. Decreased rainfall and increased dryness (less P/PET) increase water stress. Green biomass coverage also decreases. The difference between land degradation areas can be found by superimposing many important physical assets (geological formations, soil properties, land features, etc.) in the GIS environment. The backstory of the central Shilabati Basin is highly degraded and is particularly susceptible to land degradation.

Breaking The Black Box: Heatmap-Driven Transparency To Breast Cancer Detection With Efficientnet And Grad CAM

2024-05-15T07:24:48+00:00

Breast cancer is a significant global health concern, with the manual diagnostic process being time-consuming. The introduction of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) has emerged as a promising solution, facilitating quicker and more accessible assessments. However, concerns persist regarding the trustworthiness of these automated systems, particularly deep learning models, due to their inherently black-box nature. Transparency and interpretability are crucial elements, necessitating methods to visualize and comprehend the decision-making process of the model. This research aimed to enhance the transparency and interpretability of deep learning models for breast cancer diagnosis. The focus was on developing a method to highlight prominent areas of histopathology slides using heatmaps. The "Histopathology Cancer Detection (HCD)" dataset was used in the investigation. Eight EfficientNet models were examined for fine-tuning, and a feature extractor for binary classification. The optimized model is further utilized to get the output of any particular layer or block of the model with GradCAM (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping). Heatmaps are produced to show the area of the picture that contributed most to the classification. Notably, the model architecture remained unchanged to maintain diagnostic accuracy, while the introduction of heatmaps aimed to provide additional insights into the decision-making process. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, human validation was conducted. Domain experts were presented with histopathology images along with the model-generated heatmaps. The purpose of the questionnaire was to obtain expert comments on the highlighted regions' alignment without altering the model architecture to preserve the performance of the model. The combination of the EfiicientNetB7 model as a feature extractor with an SVM activation function outperformed and achieved the accuracy and the area under the curve (AUC) of 98.95% and 0.9886, respectively. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to make deep learning models for breast cancer diagnosis more transparent and trustworthy.

Future Population Scenario In India And China – An Econometric Approach

2024-04-27T09:07:29+00:00

A population model is a type of mathematical model that is applied to the study of population dynamics. Models allow a better understanding of how complex interactions and processes work. Modeling of dynamic interactions in nature can provide a manageable way of understanding how numbers change over time or in relation to each other. Many, if not all, of Earth’s processes affect human life. The Earth’s processes are greatly stochastic and seem chaotic to the naked eye. However, a plethora of patterns can be noticed and are brought forth by using population modeling as a tool. There are various methods to develop a population model. A simple exponential model gives sufficient approximation in estimation of population but does not defines a saturation point. Hence the population estimated increases exponentially without any upper limit giving an unrealistic figure for longer time period. This is because it does not considers the environmental factors and hence suitable for very short period of time. Logistic model tells that the population growth rate decreases as the population reaches the carrying capacity or saturation point of the environment.

Kant’s Faculty Of Imagination And Its Epistemic Function

2024-05-11T11:40:43+00:00

The very suggestion of giving knowledge function to imagination sounds strange. One might say that imagination is helpful in giving rise to tremendous works of fiction, but imagination’s role is not limited to just fictional knowledge but also knowledge of deep elusive sort and matters of practical relevance where it helps us to focus on overcoming the upcoming dangers by raising attention to possibilities. Imagination deals with what could have been the case or what is possible, and how would things have been if not what they actually are. Contemporary philosophers have been keen to understand the role that imagination plays in the constitution of knowledge, especially in the knowledge that deals with the evaluation and investigation of the truth value of propositions that dwells in the realm of possibility, necessity, impossibility, contingency etc.… This knowledge is a part of the modal epistemology in modal logic. Studying the scope and range of modal knowledge is modal epistemology. Since, Immanuel Kant’s theory of imagination, philosophers have started to take imagination as an important faculty in the process of cognition rather than just “a play of fanciful images unfit for serious thought”[1]. In this paper my aim is to understand Kant’s theory of Imagination and to focus on the epistemic role of Imagination, in order to do so I will also have a look into how contemporary debates on imagination are inspired by the works of Kant. I will look into how imagination has a significant role to play in modal epistemology and why its role cannot be eschewed in modal logic. In doing so the main aim of this paper is to figure out imagination’s epistemic role in the formulation of knowledge.

Intrusion Detection System For Phising Detection Using Convolution Neural Network.

2024-05-16T06:16:04+00:00

Innovative security solutions utilizing cutting-edge machine learning techniques are essential to strengthen network defense as cyber threats become more sophisticated. This study proposes an intrusion detection system (IDS) that uses deep learning algorithms (DLAs), specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), to automatically detect phishing attacks. Phishing circumvents traditional signature-based intrusion detection systems by using cunning social engineering techniques. CNNs enable the automatic extraction of sophisticated features from raw input data, including URLs and webpage content. Low-level patterns are recognized by their convolutional layers, and in later layers, these patterns are combined to create higher-level representations. Sequential data, such as user activities over time, is a great fit for RNN modeling. CNNs and RNNs work together to acquire the intricate multi-modal patterns that are characteristic of phishing. Back propagation-based model optimization enables real-time adaptation to identify emerging phishing variants. DLA integration with an IDS offers a strong defense against sophisticated user-targeted phishing attacks. Using the KDD-CUP99 dataset, which has 175,341 training and 82,332 testing instances, the DLA model is trained. Proactive incident response is made possible by automated feature learning by DLAs, which dramatically increases detection accuracy over manual rule-based techniques. This DLA-driven intrusion detection system research strengthens the overall security posture by improving resistance to changing social engineering threats. By utilizing machine learning, networks and users can be protected from sneaky phishing tactics through constant model refining for intelligent, adaptive threat identification as attack vectors change.

Purpose: This research aims to unravel the nuanced relationships between service innovation perceptions and customer loyalty within the restaurant industry in Tamil Nadu, India, during the COVID-19 crisis.

Materials and Methods: Conducted in December 2020, this study employed a convenience sampling approach, gathering data from 450 respondents who had visited restaurants during the pandemic. An online survey, constructed using Google Forms, assessed demographic information and measured customer perceptions related to service innovation, risk, emotional experience, reputation, customer commitment, and loyalty. Established scales from prior literature were modified to suit the COVID-19 context, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).

Results: The findings reveal a significant direct impact of service innovation on customer loyalty (Path Coefficient = 0.615, p < 0.001). Surprisingly, risk perception did not significantly mediate this relationship (Path Coefficient = 0.000, p = 0.499). In contrast, emotional experience (Path Coefficient = 0.117, p < 0.001), reputation (Path Coefficient = 0.052, p < 0.001), and commitment (Path Coefficient = 0.227, p < 0.001) emerged as influential mediators. Direct effects of service innovation on risk, emotional experience, reputation, and commitment were all statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The unexpected findings regarding risk perception highlight the need for businesses to prioritize emotional experiences, reputation, and customer commitment in service innovation strategies.

The present paper attempts to discuss the nature of employment of informal sector workers in Madurai district, their wage fixation, wage structure, its determinants and working conditions of different categories of informal sector workers. This chapter is organised under the following headings for the purpose of analysis. Nature of employment, Wage fixation and wage structure , Determinants of wage. The informal sector account for more than 90 per cent of the workforce in the country and almost 50 per cent of the national income evolves from this sector . Ever since the initiation of the liberalization policies in the early nineties, informalisation of jobs has become a matter of concern. Growing competition combined with increased market opportunities and limited resources have led to the emergence of an informal economy. The predominance of the informal sector has led to a situation of the benefits of economic growth being concentrated among few with a growing proportion of the population living as working poor. A comparison was made between State-wise distribution of informally employed in the manufacturing sector vis-à-vis the labour reform index which shows that even when the labour reform index is high indicating that even in States like Gujarat where the stringency of labour regulations was lowered by procedural changes, simplifying compliance and limiting scope of regulations, the jobs that were created in the manufacturing sector were informal in nature. Similar is the case with Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. Irrespective of labour reforms being a hindrance or otherwise, extent of informal employment was more than 90 per cent in the major industrial States. These findings only indicate that labour reforms alone will not reduce informalisation.

Custody And Guardianship Of Children: Issues And Interests Involved In Matrimonial Disputes.

2024-05-08T05:04:18+00:00

Legal guidelines for guardianship and child custody are intertwined. Custody, contrasted with, which more precisely refers to the minor's regular care and supervision by their parents. The rights and responsibilities of an adult with regard to a minor's person and property are collectively known as guardianship. In neither Indian secular law nor Indian religious law is the term “custody” defined. If a marriage ends in divorce, the children of the union are the ones who would suffer the most. The wellbeing of the child is given priority over all other considerations by Indian law when determining who should have custody of a minor kid, while still respecting the parents' entitlement to primary custody. In family law, the word “child custody” refers to the legal guardianship of a child under the age of majority, or 18 years old. The custody of the child is frequently a problem that the court must decide to settle during a divorce. A notion or relationship known as “guardianship” was developed in response to the inherent inability of infants, people with impaired mental capacity, and occasionally other categories of people, to take care of business alone. A guardian is a person who is legally appointed to protect the person or property of another (the “ward”). When someone is designated as a guardian, it is typically because the ward is too young, incapacitated, or disabled to look out for their own interests. The majority of nations and jurisdictions have laws that declare that a minor child's parents are that child's legal guardians and that they have the authority to name a replacement guardian in the case of their decease.

Application of Remote Sensing and GIS for Land use Compatible and Eco-Sensitive zones along Ranthambore Tiger Reserve

2024-05-08T10:55:09+00:00

The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, India's northwest, is well known for its diverse wildlife and importance as a vital habitat for the critically endangered Bengal tiger. The creation of an Eco Sensitive Zone (ESZ) surrounding the reserve has been a critical step in acknowledging the need to strike a balance between conservation and human growth. In this abstract, the concept and significance of the ESZ along the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve are examined, with an emphasis on its role in fostering a sustainable coexistence between human activity and wildlife protection. The Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972 mandated the establishment of the ESZ, which acts as a buffer zone around the main tiger reserve region. Its main objective is to lessen anthropogenic stresses on the reserve while allowing for appropriate land-use techniques. The establishment of this area promotes cooperation between conservation objectives and the means of subsistence of nearby communities. Regulations on land use, tourism, and infrastructure development are key components of the ESZ, all of which are intended to minimise disturbances to the natural ecology. The importance of the ESZ in preserving the natural balance within and around Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is also covered in this abstract. Important wildlife migration routes, species genetic diversity, and the ecosystem's general health are all protected by the ESZ. Additionally, it is extremely important in safeguarding the local wildlife's access to water sources, which are necessary for their existence. The abstract also emphasises the socioeconomic features of the ESZ. While protecting biodiversity is of utmost importance, it is also crucial to consider the requirements of the nearby local communities. The ESZ promotes eco-friendly tourism, eco-friendly agriculture, and neighbourhood-based conservation programmes to achieve balance. These initiatives not only enhance the local population's quality of life but also encourage their participation in wildlife protection. To sum up, the creation of an Eco-Sensitive Zone within the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve represents a progressive conservation strategy that emphasises the value of coexisting with environment and humanity. The ESZ promotes the long-term survival of the region's rich flora and wildlife while promoting sustainable practises and the welfare of residents by reducing the negative effects of human activity. The importance of ESZs in contemporary conservation policies and their potential to serve as models for wildlife protection around the world are highlighted in this abstract.

Q-Pearson Differential Equation With Applications

2024-05-08T11:33:45+00:00

Abstract. The Karl Pearson differential equation stands as a cornerstone in classical statistics, yielding pivotal distributions that underpin statistical analysis. This paper presents a significant extension of the Pearson equation, embracing the paradigm of nonextensive statistics and harnessing the power of the q-logarithm. Through this novel approach, a family of previously unexplored q-distributions emerges, demonstrating the profound interplay between classical and nonextensive statistical concepts. The practical implications of these newfound distributions are highlighted through their application to real-world datasets, which undergo rigorous scrutiny using both the Akaike and small sample Akaike information criteria. This comprehensive analysis underscores the versatility and effectiveness of the proposed framework, fostering a deeper understanding of statistical behavior across diverse scenarios.

Effect Of Cognitive Intervention On Sports Performance

2024-05-13T04:50:04+00:00

The present study is an experimental investigation to identify the cognitive aspects of sports performance. The cognitive parameters of attention, planning, decision making, set shifting, problem solving and memory are integral to sports performance and must be inculcated along with physical activity training (Cox, 1998). Reaction time is an excellent indicator of sensorimotor coordination and performance of an athlete (Yordanova ,2023; Balakrishnan, 2014). It determines the alertness of the athlete and should be kept minimal in certain tasks like driving, military activities, playing a sport, surgery, nursing, and guarding a security post where alertness is a primal. Reaction time indicates optimal sensory system, cognitive processing and motor performance. The reaction time is a voluntary response to an external stimulus consisting of a time lag between application of stimulus and appropriate motor response (Batra, 2013). It is expressed in milliseconds. It defines the speed of neurophysiological, cognitive, and information processes which are generated by stimulation of the athlete's sensory system. A sample of 60 sportspersons were taken for the study. The players were randomly assigned to Treatment (N1 =30) and Control group (N2=30). Group 1 received the treatment in form of cognitive task of Stroop color and word test (Golden and Freshwater, 2002) before their actual performance on Reaction time apparatus to determine simple reaction time for 15 trials spanning over 15 days. The color-word interference task is an instrument which indicates the interference control of the subject when presented with unexpected stimuli (Stroop ,1935). The Group 2 (Control Group) received no treatment and performed tasks pertaining to simple reaction time. The reaction time of all the 60 subjects for 15 days were recorded and their mean reaction time was taken as final score of each subject. The comparative data was analyzed using t -test with SPSS software. The study revealed significant group differences highlighting the role of cognitive variable of attention in determining the reaction time which is the underlying mechanism of performance of an athlete.

A Novel Mobile Agent-Based Intrusion Detection Framework For Network Security Using Sl-Gat And Pp-FQCC

2024-05-15T09:36:14+00:00

Mobile Agent is known as a software component that collects the data from hosts in the network. However, security is a major problem in MA. Therefore, IDS is used to detect malicious activities in the network. But, none of the works validated whether the MA is cloned or real. Therefore, the paper presents an MA-based IDS framework for network security using SL-GAT and PP-FQCC. Firstly, the MA and host are registered with the centralized server; in the meantime, UUID is generated for the MA. Afterward, MA is securely localized by using CMP-GAO. Then, MA is authorized and the data is secured. At this point, IDS checks whether the data is attacked or not. Here, IDS is trained based on pre-processing, graph construction, and classification. Finally, the classifier classifies whether the data are attacked or non-attacked. The results proved that the proposed model achieved a high-security level of 98.87%, which outperformed prevailing techniques.

Encouraging Workplace Spirituality Through Its Evolution, Features And Components

2024-05-15T11:01:26+00:00

Over the course of the last decade, the idea of incorporating spirituality into one's professional life has grown in popularity among academic communities. Due to the fact that the concept of spirituality in the workplace is still relatively fresh, it is still in the process of developing. Over the course of the last few years, it has garnered an extraordinary amount of interest in the field of management research as well as in academic circles. The genuine significance of spirituality in the workplace is a very individualistic and individualised field of philosophy. This is the case due to the fact that individuals who are nearly educationally labelled as generous thinkers define their sentiments with purity, and there is a bit of a tight relationship between their place of employment and deeply significant ideals. At first sight, it may seem that exercising one's religion while at work is the same thing as practising one's spirituality while at work; nevertheless, this is not at all the case. exercising one's religion while at work is not the same thing as practising one's spirituality while at work. There is a widespread misunderstanding that it has anything to do with the practises or beliefs of a particular religion; however, this is not the case. Simply expressed, it refers to the process of obtaining purpose, value, and motivation from one's employment that goes beyond monetary reward and standards of accomplishment. This may be achieved in a variety of ways, but the ultimate result is the same. It is about people inside a corporation coming to realise a feeling of oneness and harmony within the framework of the whole organisation. The notion of workplace spirituality, as well as its history, aspects, and components, are discussed in this study. In addition, the findings of this research provide suggestions for organisations seeking effective strategies to promote workplace spirituality.

The present study aims to investigate resilience and aggression as predictors of mindfulness, assess the relationship between aggression and resilience with mindfulness, and assess the gender difference in resilience, mindfulness, and aggression among adolescents. Mindfulness is the art of being in the present moment, paying attention to the moment as it happens, and experiencing it without judgment. Resilience refers to our capacity to recover from stressful situations. Understanding an individual's level of resilience involves examining their perception of situations and their adoption of either healthy or unhealthy coping strategies. Adolescence, characterized by significant mental and physical changes, can render young people more prone to low self-confidence and diminished resilience. Nicholson McBride's Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ), Aggression Questionnaire by Buss & Perry, and Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure by Greco et al. were used. The sample consisted of 280 students between the ages of 14 and 18 years (140 males and 140 females). Results showed a significant positive correlation between resilience and mindfulness and a significant negative relationship between aggression with both mindfulness and resilience. A significant gender difference was also seen, with males showing higher levels of mindfulness and resilience while the female population showed higher levels of aggression. Results also indicate that both lower levels of aggression and a higher level of resilience are significant predictors of mindfulness among adolescents, explained by 27.2% (Aggression, R2 = .272) and 16.7% (Resilience, R2 = .167) of variance in criterion variable, i.e., Mindfulness. In conclusion, it reveals positive correlations between resilience and mindfulness and negative associations between aggression and resilience and mindfulness. Gender differences indicate higher levels of resilience and mindfulness in males, while females exhibit higher levels of aggression.

In poor socio-economic conditions, more than 33% of the populations are illiterate who are living below the poverty line. In view of these incidents, awareness and dissemination of legal literacy is necessary to ensure their legal rights. Media is a very powerful tool in a India. If the laws made for public welfare are not being used properly, then it will be considered a failure. Social media platforms play an increasingly important part of social life, communication, and dissemination of information. They inevitably touch the lives of most of the people. If the human is not aware of their rights, then the very essence of the law is lost. In such a situation, the law becomes a toy in someone's hands, which is a more dangerous situation. Whatever progress the country has made, a lot of laws can be introduced by the Parliament or administrative authority to the public only with the help of the media.

The fourth pillar of democracy is media. The positive role and use of social media is the strongest weapon to sustain democracy. Our country has transformed itself into a Welfare State. Because of this change, the responsibility of the state has increased manifold. Because in today's globalized world violation of human rights and freedoms can be seen. Social media, if used wisely and responsibly, can help us in many ways to promote good influences in our daily lives. Social media can reach to the greatest extent through extensive reporting and wide distribution across sections of the society and help in promoting and propagating legal literacy among the poor. Keeping this in mind, this article focuses on legal literacy, how it affects the society and how social media is helpful in promoting legal literacy. In addition, the paper mainly focuses on the role of social media in promoting awareness.

Patriarchy is the supremacy of men over women and children beginning from the basic unit of a family and has its roots and branches over the public sphere. Female subjugation refers to any attempts made to keep women in an inferior position through control. Women are controlled, possessed and even commodified in a way that devalues them. They face battering, sexual harassment and violence everyday within the four walls. This has not utterly defeated women but they too have started reacting to this kind of oppression and has inspired them to take daring steps towards liberty and various other new avenues. Liberation is the act of freeing oneself from any forms of oppression and living in freedom. This paper attempts to do a study on patriarchal subjugation within a family. The study contributes to the liberation of women through resistance, education and assertiveness seeking a new liberated self in the selected novel of Buchi Emecheta’s Second Class Citizen.

“Effects Of Rapid Maxillary Expansion On Speech Sound Production In Growing Patients. A Systematic Review’’

2024-05-03T05:18:40+00:00

One common orthodontic supplement treatment for posterior cross-bites is the use of rapid palatal expanders. Rapid palatal expanders could make it difficult for the tongue to move freely and make adequate linguo-palatal contact. This review study aimed to ascertain the precise effects of rapid palatal expanders on the development and production of speech sounds in children and young adolescents who have undergone this type of orthodontic intervention.

Clinical studies evaluating patients with maxillary transverse deficiency who had orthodontic treatment and the association with speech changes without limiting

language or year of publication. There were only interventional studies included. RME changed the fundamental frequency of vowels and the formant frequency of fricative phonemes, which affected speech output. In one study, shimmer rate was altered, while in two experiments, jitter rate was altered. In two investigations, speech deteriorated during orthodontic treatment, but improved once the appliances were taken out. RME has an impact on speech both during and after treatment, despite the few data. Few research have looked at this matter in the literature; those that have often found a short-term, detrimental effect on some speech sounds within two weeks of the expanders being placed. More research is required because there is currently a lack of scientific understanding on the long-term effects and the effect on a wider variety of speech sound categories.

Efficacy Of Cleaning Stethoscope With Disinfectants Among Health Care Workers In A Tertiary Care Centre

2024-05-07T11:33:53+00:00

AIMS:

The prevalence of hospital acquired infection is high and remains as a major health problem in both national and global level. This study was done to find out the contamination percentage of stethoscopes and the efficacy of cleaning stethoscopes with disinfectants among health care workers in a tertiary care centre.

METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS:

This was a cross sectional study conducted in the department of Microbiology, Saveetha medical college Hospital and Chennai from health care workers. Stethoscopes of 100 volunteered health care workers were included in the study. Samples were collected from different parts such as diaphragm, bell and ear piece by using sterile swabs soaked in sterile saline. The collected samples were processed by standard microbiological procedures.(CLSI). Among 100 stethoscopes 26(26%) has admitted that they have never cleaned their stethoscope and their contamination rate is 100%. Out of the total 100 stethoscopes, 79 (79%) stethoscopes were colonized with different pathogenic bacteria. Among 79 contaminated stethoscopes 60(60%) diaphragms showed predominant colonization, whereas only 55 (55%) bells and 35(35%) ear pieces were only contaminated among them. Mixed growth was seen in diaphragms (n=1) and bell (n=3). The bacteria that were isolated from diaphragm, bell and earpiece are Staphylococcus aureus, Coagulase negative Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus, Diphtheroids, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, K.pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii. Among these bacteria drug resistance organisms such as MRSA, MRCONS and MDR P.aeruginosa were also isolated.

CONCLUSION:

Stethoscopes used by HCWs may behave as carriers of hospital diseases since they are contaminated with the pathogenic bacteria. Regular cleaning of the stethoscope with 70% ethanol will help to prevent the transmission of microorganisms and the contaminants. HCWs must strictly adhere to the

hospital’s disinfection procedures in order to avoid cross contamination and assure patient safety. So, we need to impart knowledge and motivate the HCWs and should be added as one of the strict policy in hospital infection control manual.

Synthesis, Characterization, In Vitro Anticancer and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Fe(II) Complexes Derived from Dihydralazine and 2-Formyl Thymol

2024-05-08T10:48:12+00:00

In the present work, we report a new series of Cu(II)(1), Co(II)(2), Zn(II)(3), Mn(II)(4), and Fe(II)(5) complexes of hydrazone ligand (H₂L) synthesized from 2-formyl derivative of thymol and Dihydralazine by environment friendly method. The hydrazone ligand (H₂L) behaves as a dibasic hexadentate ligand and forms dinuclear metal complexes with the general composition [M₂L(Cl)_m(H₂O)]_n (M = Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), and Fe(II); m = 1-2 and n = 0-4) by the reaction of hydrazone (H₂L) and metal salts (MCl₂) in the presence of methanol as solvent. The geometry and the nature of bonding of the desired complexes have been presumed from ESI-MS, FTIR, UV-Vis, elemental analyses, TGA, molar conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The results show that the ligand (H₂L) forms coordinate bonds with central metal ions through nitrogens of phthalazine as well as azomethine (–C=N–) groups and phenolic oxygen atoms. The hydrazone based ligand (H₂L), and its metal complexes were screened for their in vitro anticancer activity against breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231); where Cu(II)(1) and Zn(II) (3) complexes were found to have excellent anticancer activity with the GI₅₀ value <10 µg/mL and 36.6 µg/mL respectively. All the prepared compounds were also assessed for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and were found to be more potent than their parent ligand.

Improving Vaccine Accessibility After The Covid Pandemic

2024-05-11T08:43:40+00:00

Introduction:

The COVID pandemic disrupted routine healthcare services in many nations as the majority of the medical staff were diverted to pandemic management and nations enforced strict lockdowns to curb the movement of the people. Routine pediatric vaccination was one of the areas affected due to these measures. This study aims to attempt to identify those children with delays in routine vaccination and parental preferences regarding further catch-up vaccination.

Materials and methods:

Questionnaire-based cross–sectional study involving 75 children who came for routine immunization in the Department of Paediatrics, Saveetha Medical College from July – December 2021. Amongst these, the children whose vaccination was delayed were selected and a questionnaire was administered by interview method. The questionnaire included questions related to Socio-demographic details, Accessibility during the pandemic, User preference due to fear of the pandemic, Awareness about vaccination during the pandemic, and Solutions for improving vaccination in the pandemic situation.

Results:

The majority of the study population was males. The most common age group for whom vaccination was delayed belonged to < 6 months followed by 2 – 5 years. The most common reason attributed to delay in vaccination was fear of acquiring covid from the hospital (54%). Some parents felt apprehensive about the adverse effects following vaccination like fever (90%). With respect to awareness, parents wanted a reminder for vaccination (78%) with SMS alerts being the most preferred method of communication. The majority of the parents felt comfortable with dedicated private paediatric clinics followed by local vaccination camps as preferred centre for vaccination.

Conclusion:

In the setting of a pandemic, routine vaccinations should not be disrupted to avoid re – emergence of vaccine preventable diseases. This study stresses the need for setting up dedicated vaccination clinics and reminder to parents to ensure the routine vaccination if not missed in children.

Prevalence Of Different Stages Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis In India: A Cross Sectional Study

2024-05-12T10:09:08+00:00

Background: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a persistent and gradually developing disorder that impacts the mouth and occasionally the throat. It is marked by an inflammatory response just beneath the epithelium and alterations in the fibroelastic components of the lamina propria. These changes result in stiffness of the oral mucosa, limited mouth opening (trismus), and challenges with eating. OSMF is distinguished by its significantly elevated potential to progress into malignancy, compared to other oral lesions with a risk of malignancy, predominantly affecting those of Indian and Southeast Asian descent. The global prevalence rate stands at 2.28% - 8.62%, with a notable gender disparity in occurrence and a malignant transformation rate of 4.2%.

Aim: The objective of this research is to evaluate the prevalence and distribution by gender of OSMF stages within a private dental institution, with a particular emphasis on examining the relationship between the frequency of the disease and the occurrence of its stages.

Materials and Methods: Over a period of 32 months, a cross-sectional analysis was carried out in the outpatient section of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology. After receiving approval from the ethics committee, 337 individuals diagnosed with OSMF were selected for inclusion in the study, with information categorized according to gender and age.

Results: The study found a significant male predominance (94%) among the patients, with a mean age of 31-50 years. Stage 2 OSMF was more prevalent among both genders, followed by stage 3 and 1, indicating a specific pattern of disease progression.

Discussion: Consistent with previous studies, our research confirmed a male predominance in OSMF occurrence. The age and stage distribution aligns partially with existing literature, suggesting a predominant affliction of individuals in their mid-life. Contrary to Anuna Liala Mathew et al.'s findings, our study observed a higher prevalence of stage 2 OSMF, underscoring potential variations in disease progression or detection practices.

Conclusion: OSMF presents a significant public health challenge due to its high malignant transformation potential and association with arecanut and tobacco use. This study highlights the urgent need for public education on the adverse effects of these substances and calls for enhanced awareness and management strategies for OSMF, particularly considering its prevalence and severity among males in the studied population.

As a result, the knowledge of other technical subjects may not be properly integrated with Design. Architectural Drawing, Building Construction, Building Services and other technical subjects must be integrated into the Design studio in order to achieve a holistic outcome.

The research reviews reveal that more attempts and methods are made for framing Design Studio pedagogy than any other subject, as it is the most important subject in an architecture curriculum. It is utmost necessity to define and derive the parameters of an instructional model that can effectively teach technical subjects in architecture, as well as standardizing the various inventive techniques into a workable one.

As educators, we believe that technical courses should be integrated into design courses in order to help students develop a broader design perspective and knowledge. Technical subjects are taught separately from the design studio, it has been noted. An important aspect of Architecture studio is that there are strong interrelationships between the various subjects. For students of architecture to teach technical subjects that are equally important, a new pedagogical approach is required.

This paper aims to verify the course content of Architectural Drawing and Graphics subject which need more focus with respect to teaching and learning of this subject. This will in turn help to get better output in communicating correct design drawings.

Impact Of ICT On Productivity, Market Access, And Risk Management In Agriculture

2024-05-08T09:58:06+00:00

The great potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to change agriculture is limited by low adoption rates in limited resources places. This mismatch reduces farmers' market access, maximizes output, and restricts good farm management. To close this gap, this study investigates the influence of ICTs on farm management, product marketing, and overall advantages for farmers in Telangana, India. A descriptive research design with a survey methodology was used, with 80 farmers chosen through a convenience sampling method. According to data analysis, the majority of respondents were between the ages of 35 and 55 and had completed secondary school. The majority of participants had fewer than ten acres of land and grew cotton and soybeans. Drones were the most commonly used ICT application, followed by smartphone apps and precision farming techniques. After using ICTs, a sizable percentage (61.3%) reported no change in farm productivity, whereas 27.5% saw gains. In a similar vein, the majority (86.3%) reported steady income, with only a small minority (6.3%) claiming a rise. Limitations were highlighted by the poor (67.5%) ICT utilization for market access. Nonetheless, a significant positive connection (p-value = 0.000) was discovered between the use of ICT and climate change risk management. Farmers cited enhanced decision-making (35.0%) and increased market access (51.2%) as the two main possible advantages of ICTs. These results indicate that although ICT use is rising, its effects on income and productivity are still uneven. To optimize the potential advantages for resource-poor farmers, further work is required to close the digital gap, increase access to ICTs, and better their incorporation into farming methods.

Media Bias And The Efficacy Of Legislative Measures In Addressing Gender Disparities In India

2024-05-10T11:39:43+00:00

In the recent years, alongside the expansion of the media and related industries, there has been rapid technological advancement, social change, and the waning and eroding of some traditional systems of authority and control. Social transformation and representation in the media are closely related. Both ancient and contemporary societies rely heavily on the media for the development and dissemination of social understanding and social imagery. Therefore, it is argued that the media can be used as "an instrument," a potent and adaptable one, to persuade people to adopt particular socially acceptable modes of belief and understanding. The pursuit of gender equality remains a pressing issue in contemporary society. Achieving this ideal necessitates a multifaceted approach that addresses the complex interplay between societal norms, legislative frameworks, and media representation.

Interdiction of the Bankrupt Debtor as a Means of General Guarantee

2024-05-14T05:23:26+00:00

The relationship between a creditor and a debtor is built on trust. However, the debtor may prove unworthy of this trust due to bad faith or circumstances beyond their control. Since the means approved by the legislator for creditors are extremely important, the absence of these means leads to the general guarantee, which is the subject of protection, being stripped of all its value due to the debtor's tampering and negligence. Therefore, these means received special attention from the legislator. These preventive means relate to the debtor’s behavior and obligations, such as the direct lawsuit, the indirect lawsuit, the moot lawsuit, and the lawsuit for non-enforcement of disposition. Additionally, some of these means aim to prevent the debtor from disposing of his assets, such as by interdicting him, the right to imprison him, and seizing his assets as a preventive means to prevent him from disposing of them.

India has a vivid musical culture and every region has its own style of musicality. Musical instruments used in Indian music are one of the main points of difference between the different styles of music prevalent in the state. There is an influence of Persian musical instruments in the Northern part of India which makes the North Indian music distinct from the other styles like South Indian music.

This was due to the control of Muslim minority over North India. Persian language became popular in North India which introduced Persian music and musical instruments in the North Indian culture. Musical instruments like sitar (also Setar), sarod, Kamanche and rabab became much popular in the state of Kashmir.

Rabab is a popular string instrument played in different forms in Central Asia, South Asia, and North Africa. This stringed instrument can be plucked or bowed as per the tradition of musical performance. Rabab can be called the forefather of Sarod as Rabab was adopted in Ancient India that became Sarod today.

Rabab in different forms is played internationally and is still popular in the Indian music genre as several Indian musicians play it. Some of the most eminent Rabab players are Ustad Mohammed Omar, Ustad Rahim Khushnawaz, Ustad Ghulam Hussain, Ghulam Mohammed Attaie, Homayoun Sakhi, Ustad Essa Qassemi, Ghulam Jailani Nabizada and Ustad Gulfam Ahmad.

Ustad Gulfam Ahmad is a globally popular Rabab and Sarod player who is also known for his Sufiyana kalam's on the unity of Hindu and Muslims. He had a great contribution towards the revival of Rabab playing in India as he popularized this aged old practice of playing Rabab in India.

Exploring The Role Of Food In Plot Development: A Study Of Makgamatha (1994) Folktales

2024-05-15T11:50:52+00:00

The recent noble discovery is that in all Northern Sotho folktales and many other African folktales food has been the driving force to prompt characters to go out in their encounters, thus leading to folktales plot development and finally deliverance of important cultural educational messages. This article reports on the study that focused on the importance of food in African cultures. The importance of food is further used as the reason for the development of folktale plots. The study followed a qualitative research approach where a case study design, was adopted. Data were generated through desktop data collection and document analysis. The study found that: One, African folktales begin with main characters going out to search for food. Two, in the process of their food search they come across different encounters, thus leading to folktale plot development. Three, the character who managed to get the big price in the form of food is praised, worshiped, and sometimes given an important cultural title, and the one who does not get anything mostly because of his ignorance of cultural values is despised and punished. These findings have at least one most important implication, that food is regarded most important in the African culture. People wake up in the morning in search of food, food is the main reason for survival, and without food, there is no life.

Information Visualization and Documentation for themes of Visual Culture

2024-05-01T06:27:40+00:00

Visual Culture envisages a trajectory of creations with information, visual styles, concepts and practices by both the makers and receivers. This paper presents the applications of popular cognitive theories during the information visualization stage followed by the graphic design students in the course of Documentation of Visual Culture at a design school in India. The baseline approach in the course has been to impart the theories and models from the fields of information visualization, cognition, history, social space and visual imagery. The course contributes a conceptual framework of 5-Pillars of Cognition: 1) What and How to Observe, 2) How to See, 3) How to Read, 4) How to Plan a Theme and 5) How to Create a Visual Language for a Visual Space/Culture. Each student applied these five pillars along with the theories of cognitive semiotics to form, reform and transform the documentation designs. The research methodologies tap the styles and trends in the context of readers’ preferences, social milieus and the linked technological scenarios. Designs showcase the styles in documentations with respect to the information content, readers, social milieus, heritage scenarios and communication. The insights articulate the rationale behind preserving form-content associations in the visual culture themes.

Comprehending Contemporary Career Success - Linking Career Self-Management, Career Competencies & Career Equality

2024-05-02T09:50:03+00:00

An analytical review of recent advances in the literature on career success is presented in this article. We examine studies from the fields of organizational behavior (OB) and organizational psychology (OP), stressing the unique viewpoints, advantages, and disadvantages of each discipline. We then make an effort to bring these perspectives on career success into harmony in order to propose fruitful new study avenues. The essay begins by considering many conceptions of both subjective and objective career success and how valuable each is to the area. Subsequently, we delve into various classifications of career success predictors derived from the economic, sociological, and social-psychological viewpoints employed in both OP and OB. These include social capital and sponsorship, human capital, internal and external labor markets, individual variations that are both fixed and adaptable, and career self-management practices. Within each of those sections, we offer research recommendations; additionally, we offer an integrative research agenda centered around multiple emerging issues and theoretical vantage points, promoting future investigations into the effects of career shocks, marginalized group experiences, sustainable careers, and alternative work arrangements on career success.

A Fluctuating The Expansion Of Rural Employment In India

2024-05-02T12:42:35+00:00

Since 1991, the Indian economy has witnessed a series of economic reforms, encompassing all major sectors of the economy (agriculture, industry, trade, foreign investment and technology, public sector, financial institutions, and so on); it has marked a steady break from the past policy regime. The import-substituting development strategy, hitherto nurtured by the Indian planning regime since 1951, was given up in favour of export linked strategy; India could no more keep aloof from the rest of the world, particularly if technological advances occurring elsewhere were to be assimilated and adapted to India’s own production requirements. And then came WTO on January 1, 1995 because of which India got further integrated into the global economic system, and became an adherent of the multilateral trade system. The experience of countries that succeeded in reducing poverty significantly indicates the importance of high rates of economic growth in achieving this. High growth, however, is not a sufficient condition for poverty reduction; the pattern and sources of growth as well as the manner in which its benefits are distributed are equally important from the point of view of achieving the goal of poverty reduction. And employment plays a key role in that context. Indeed, countries which attained high rates of employment growth alongside high rates of economic growth are also the ones who succeeded in reducing poverty significantly. Every section of the Indian economy is now linked with the world outside, either through its direct involvement in international trade or through its indirect linkages with the export or import transactions of other sectors of the economy.

The City and the Development- A Counter Narrative of Sustainable Development

2024-05-04T08:34:47+00:00

Sustainability of earth has been challenged by the incidents and events of climate change. Although the world is more developed today yet is highly threatened by the prospective natural calamities that continue to jeopardize the possibility of human life on earth in near centuries. Rather it has started influencing the climate-cycles. In today’s world, city becomes synonymous with development. Major processes of development in modern world are city-centric. Be it Industry, multiple modes of transportation, spread of corporate business houses involving concrete buildings, huge population as workers and consumers of modern modes of production, etc. This all pollutes the environment and helps in increasing the temperature globally. Initially a city promises ‘convenience’ to human lives and possibility of human growth and development. Technology becomes the latest catalyst to bring convenience to human lives. Despite all these ‘trusted’ modes of human progress, recently, human society has started realising the flip side of this city-based urbanised economic development. City of modern world pollutes more than villages. Pollution, population and preservation remain the ‘inter-related’ buzzwords in the age of ‘sustainable development’. In the modern liberal state, no model of development and no Individual Right (other than Right to Life, in its traditional sense) can be justified if anyone violates environmental sustainability. Traditional concept of city-based development faces challenges from the environmental perspective. Production and consumption patterns of cities are more polluting than that of villages. What alternatives are we left with? Has the time come to decentralize our ‘economic development’?

This paper explores and evaluates the relational quotient between the urbanization and sustainable development. The very idea of city is based on the counter-narrative of the idea of sustainability. It impels us to think about the urgency of bringing change in the discourse of development that so selectively puts the city in its centre and makes climate change inevitable!

Enhancing Data Consistency Through Referential Integrity In Document Oriented NoSQL Databases

2024-05-06T11:22:51+00:00

The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient strategy for managing the data integrity among the documents of document-oriented NoSQL databases in distributed environment. Most of the document-oriented NoSQL databases do not provide any built-in mechanism for maintaining data integrity through establishing document relationships through managing referential integrity constraints which restrict applications to use these databases where data integrity and consistency is essential. In document-oriented NoSQL databases, generally data consistency is negotiated or it has been given not much important as relational database systems. So, we have proposed various strategies that not only manage data integrity in terms of establishing referential integrity constraints but also maintain data consistency among the documents of document-oriented NoSQL databases. For deciding the efficient strategy among the proposed strategies, various database operations are executed in a document-oriented NoSQL database and the results are obtained and analysed by measuring the execution time.

Why Are Companies In Emerging Markets Reluctant To List On The Stock Market? The Cambodian Case

2024-05-06T16:11:18+00:00

The launch of the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) in 2011 was seen as a coming-of-age for the financial sector in Cambodia to provide more financing choices for domestic companies. However, for over a decade, CSX remained among the smallest stock markets globally compared to Southeast Asian exchanges. This study examines why Cambodian companies that meet listing requirements abstain from listing on the stock market. Through a comprehensive survey of 274 firms, the study unveils critical insights into the challenges hindering the adoption of initial public offerings (IPOs) on CSX. The findings show that founders/CEOs' fears about losing ownership and control strongly influence their decision-making, preventing stock market listing. The study also underscores the delicate balance of information disclosure obligations, stressing that excessive post-listing disclosure requirements can deter companies from listing. On a positive note, the research shows that tax incentives can motivate companies to list on the stock market. Based on the above findings, the study recommends that policymakers offer tax amnesty programs that allow companies to come forward voluntarily, admit prior financial irregularities, and remedy their tax positions without heavy penalties. This will encourage more companies to list on CSX. Additionally, policymakers should create training for founders to address the fear of losing ownership and control following a stock market listing. Highlight successful examples of companies listing while the founders still hold significant control to demonstrate that listing may be a strategic move for growth rather than a mean of relinquishing control.

Neighbour-Aware Cooperation For Semi-Supervised Decentralized Machine Learning

2024-05-08T09:52:56+00:00

Mobile and embedded devices generate vast data, driving interest in decentralized machine learning (DML) for collaborative model training. However, current DML frameworks assume fully annotated data, limiting their applicability in IoT scenarios. We introduce semi-supervised DML, where workers possess partially labelled data within a device-to-device (D2D) network. Existing semi-supervised techniques overlook D2D topology, hindering effective utilization of unlabelled data across workers. To address this, we propose SSD, a framework for semi-supervised DML leveraging D2D cooperation. SSD's key innovation lies in strategic neighbour selection, balancing pseudo-label quality and communication overhead. Workers autonomously select neighbours with high-quality models and similar data distributions, enhancing pseudo-label confidence. Empirical evaluations in real and simulated environments demonstrate SSD's superiority over existing methods, highlighting its efficacy in exploiting D2D cooperation for improved semi-supervised learning in decentralized settings.

Work Life Balance Among Married Working Women

2024-05-10T11:26:18+00:00

Work-life balance is a broad concept including proper prioritizing between “work” (career and ambition) on one hand and “life” (Health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development) on the other. Work/life imbalance is when the pressures from one role make it difficult to comply with the demands of the other. (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985).

Dual career family has become the need of an hour, demographic profiles are changing, nowadays, people are moving from their home town to the place where they are getting work and obviously because of which they have less working hands to take care of children and family. And this is the reason why married working women facing a lot of problems. Especially in developing countries like India where work culture is not so organized, many times women are unable to set their boundaries between personal responsibilities and professional duties.

Work life balance is highly desirable for women employees in current circumstances as without job satisfaction and consistency in life, it creates a dilemma for working women. Since, work-life conflict downwards female employees' career progress as well as the productivity of the organization.

Evaluate The Relationship Between The Caregiver Burden Scale Of Care Provided To Children With Cerebral Palsy

2024-05-12T11:31:39+00:00

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorder that appears in early childhood and permanently affects body movements and muscle coordination. It is caused by abnormal development or damage to brain. The term cerebral refers to the brain, and palsy refers to loss or impairment of motor function. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2020, 1 to 4 in a thousand live births have cerebral palsy, making it the most common motor disability in childhood. In addition, such children can have co-morbid conditions like vision, hearing or speech problems, seizures and intellectual disability. The cause of cerebral palsy is the abnormal development of part of the brain or damage caused to the part of the brain that controls movement. Even though the cause is unknown, the common reasons are a genetic abnormality, congenital brain malformation, maternal infection, or fetal injury (at the time of birth). CP can be mild to profound according to the severity, and also, there are various kinds of CP based on the parts of the brain affected.

Body As A Site Of Subaltern Subversion In Mahasweta Devi’s ‘Draupadi’ And ‘Behind The Bodice: Choli Ke Picche’

2024-05-13T05:21:40+00:00

The research paper probes into the complex socio-political systems operating on the female body which becomes the site for subaltern resistance and empowerment in the attempt to overthrow oppressive systems. The government policies and their alleged development projects are brought under severe scrutiny that have encroached upon and disrupted traditional ways of life of the tribal and rural populace. While exploitation, oppression and resistance remain at the helm in subaltern scholarship, body politics also seem to occupy a prominent place. It strives to delve deep into the value codes of the cultural and social settings apropos female body and the systemic politics bred in aesthetics, archivization and cumulative disadvantage. The implication of mainstream history requiring the need for recognising and studying the contributions and mass presence of the oppressed women characters in both the narratives is instrumental to bring home an understanding of their agency, undermining discourses on victimization while making strides towards a non-negotiation for discursive formations. All forms of state apparatuses including print and television media, law enforcement agency, language politics are put in the dock in the hands of Devi.

Level Measurement And Control Using Single Digital Camera Based On Image Processing In Matlab

2024-05-13T11:09:18+00:00

This study examines the effectiveness of image-based level measurement and control using a single digital camera by comparing various segmentation models for liquid level detection. The main goal of this study was to evaluate some common approaches used in segmenting images from single cameras such as simple thresholding, adaptive thresholding, Otsu's thresholding and global thresholding with manual adjustment that will identify liquid levels using blob inside it correctly. All segmentation models consistently show black colour for liquid and white for objects/blobs. In addition, there is a significant correlation between the size of detected objects/blobs and liquid depth suggesting potential use of diameter variations as an indirect measure of changes in liquid depths. Thus, this article presents a technique to compute depth of liquid based on object diameter measured from detected object or blob using height of camera above tank so that one can improve industrial applications involving development of improved level measurement and control systems.

The Effect Of Organizational Justice On Islamic Proactive Behavior Among Lecturers In Islamic University: The Mediating Roles Of Job Burnout And Engagement

2024-05-02T05:14:21+00:00

This research investigates the impact of organizational justice on Islamic proactive behavior among lecturers in Islamic Higher Education Institutions in Medan, examining both direct and indirect effect through job burnout and job engagement. Employing a quantitative paradigm and deductive reasoning, a conceptual model is developed based on prior empirical findings and theoretical reviews, tested using structural equation modeling. Data from 240 lecturers in private Islamic universities in Medan are collected via a closed questionnaire. Results, analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, reveal that organizational justice does not have a significant direct effect on Islamic proactive behavior. These rejections were associated with the lack of a significant direct effect of organizational justice on Islamic proactive behavior and the indirect impact of organizational justice on proactive behavior through job burnout. A noteworthy discovery is that the overall level of proactive behavior, which is currently suboptimal, can be significantly affected by the lecturer's engagement to their role as an educator. Paradoxically, although lecturers were found not to experience fatigue in their work, there exists a potential, albeit minimal, for this lack of burnout to diminish proactive Islamic behavior. The research model demonstrates moderate validity, highlighting the need for diverse predictive models in future empirical studies.

Advanced 3D CNN Techniques For Robust Face Forgery Detection

2024-05-06T09:06:40+00:00

Researchers are currently investigating sophisticated methods for face forgery detection in response to the escalating worries regarding the simplicity and effectiveness of existing face forging techniques, in an effort to prevent potential misuse of this technology. A wavelet dual-branch network is one method now in use for predicting and recognizing modified faces. But even if this system works well in some situations, it can still have errors, which would reduce its overall dependability. Researchers have presented a fresh solution to this problem by integrating the 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3DCNN) algorithm into the framework for facial forgery detection. The purpose of integrating 3DCNN is to improve prediction accuracy and get beyond the drawbacks of the wavelet dual-branch network. 3DCNN, in contrast to conventional 2D convolutional networks, considers the temporal dimension, enabling it to capture spatiotemporal features in the data. The modified approach delivers better prediction performance by utilizing 3DCNN's capabilities, especially in situations where fake faces may have subtle or dynamic modifications. The algorithm's enhanced sensitivity to minute details stems from its capacity to assess volumetric data in both geographical and temporal domains, making it a more robust and dependable face forgery detection method. This development emphasizes the significance of continuously improving detection approaches in the face of technology improvements and represents a significant step forward in the ongoing attempts to keep ahead of growing face forgery techniques.

2024-05-08T07:35:34+00:00

Nutrigenomics can be described as the science of tomorrow. It is a seminal field that can bring about the future of disease prevention and treatment. It would create advancements in nutrition and medicine. With the elaborate researches and substantial resources that future will be possible faster than you can imagine. This review article explores application of the concepts of nutrigenomics in etiological studies of metabolic diseases. While metabolic diseases have several causes such as age, lifestyle, overweight and disrupted insulin

metabolism; recessive genetic mutations are one of the prime causes. Many Genome-Wide Association studies have given insights into phenotypes, their biology and heritability and calculates their correlation to biomolecules absorbed from food. By isolating the factors that cause the genetic variation in an individual that makes them prone to develop metabolic diseases like obesity, cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, scientists can also formulate a counter mechanism that would account for the variability. Nutrients and bioactive molecules can be both a catalyst that can cause certain mutations or the ones that instigate the health effect. The genetics of each disease originating from metabolic disorder is different.

With accurate genetic information and biochemical analysis targeted dietary interventions can be formulated for individuals in order to prevent, treat or even eradicate these disorders.

2024-05-14T09:34:49+00:00

Smart Farming is a development that emphasizes the use of information and communication technology in the cyber-physical farm management cycle. New technologies such as the Internet of Things and Cloud Computing are expected to leverage this development and introduce more robots and artificial intelligence in farming. This is encompassed by the phenomenon of Big Data, massive volumes of data with a wide variety that can be captured, analysed and used for decision-making. This review aims to gain insight into the state-of-the-art of Big Data applications in Smart Farming and identify the related socio-economic challenges to be addressed. Following a structured approach, a conceptual framework for analysis was developed that can also be used for future studies on this topic. The review shows that the scope of Big Data applications in Smart Farming goes beyond primary production; it is influencing the entire food supply chain. Big data are being used to provide predictive insights in farming operations, drive real-time operational decisions, and redesign business processes for game-changing business models. Several authors therefore suggest that Big Data will cause major shifts in roles and power relations among different players in current food supply chain networks. The landscape of stakeholders exhibits an interesting game between powerful tech companies, venture capitalists and often small startups and new entrants. At the same time there are several public institutions that publish open data, under the condition that the privacy of persons must be guaranteed. The future of Smart Farming may unravel in a continuum of two extreme scenarios: 1) closed, proprietary systems in which the farmer is part of a highly integrated food supply chain or 2) open, collaborative systems in which the farmer and every other stakeholder in the chain network is flexible in choosing business partners as well for the technology as for the food production side. The further development of data and application infrastructures (platforms and standards) and their institutional embedment will play a crucial role in the battle between these scenarios. From a socio-economic perspective, the authors propose to give research priority to organizational issues concerning governance issues and suitable business models for data sharing in different supply chain scenarios

An Inquiry In To The Narration Of Service Sector In India

2024-04-30T09:59:11+00:00

Services sector has a crucial role to play in the process of economic growth. A major part of the inputs in the primary and the secondary sectors is provided by the services' sector. The development strategy in any economy has broadly two basic objectives namely, economic growth and generation of employment. The services sector, which is also known as the tertiary sector, provides the largest percentage of maximum contribution to the gross domestic product as compared to the other two sectors. The shift in the work force from the primary sector to the tertiary sector is greater than that of the primary and to the secondary sector. There is also a greater scope for labour absorption in the services' sector. Therefore, services' sector can be considered as the sector which is a high potentiality for both employment creation and for economic growth. The tertiary sector of an economy (also known as the service sector or the service industry) is one of the three main categories of the sectors of a developed economy, the other two sectors being the secondary sector (manufacturing), and the primary sector(extraction such as mining, agriculture and fishing). Services are defined in conventional economic literature as "intangible goods". According to some economists, the service sector tends to be wealth consuming, whereas manufacturing is wealth producing.. The tertiary sector of an economy involves the provision of Services to businesses as well as to final consumers. Services may involve transport, the distribution and the sale of goods from the producer to a consume might happen in wholesaling and retailing, or might involve the provision of rvice, such as in pest control or in entertainment. Goods may be transformed in process of providing a service, as it happens in the restaurant industry. However, the focus is on people interacting with people and serving customer rather than transforming the physical goods. Since the 1960s, there been 2 substantial shift from the other two namely the primary and the industrial to the tertiary sector in the industrialized countries

Some previous studies have revealed potential differences in personality traits among individuals with light and dark skin in different cultural societies. However, no such study has been conducted on the Palestinian community. This study aimed to explore potential differences in personality traits based on the interaction between skin color (dark and light) and gender (male and female). The study included 225 participants (110 with light skin, 115 with dark skin), selected through convenience sampling. The results showed no difference in extraversion, neuroticism, and lying based on the interaction between skin color and gender. However, there was a difference in aggressiveness based on the interaction between skin color and gender, favoring females with light skin. The study recommended conducting cross-cultural studies to understand the influence of cultural and social factors on personality traits based on skin color.

The Impact Of Total Quality Management On Sustainable Tourism Development In The Chengdu-Chongqing Urban Agglomeration

2024-05-14T08:02:20+00:00

Sustainable tourism development (STD) is a crucial component of the circular economy. However, prevailing research focuses on tourism resources protection rather than management methodologies. An innovative structural equation model (SEM) for STD and total quality management (TQM) was constructed. Empirical analysis revealed: (1) No evidence of collinearity among the scales of sample data, which exhibit high reliability and validity, indicating broad applicability. (2) The SEM model of TQM and STD demonstrated high goodnessof-fit (χ²/df = 1.29, IFI > 0.9), validating initial assumptions and indicating that extending TQM can optimize STD management. (3) Analysis indicates a positive impact and facilitative role of TQM on STD, which comprises full participation (FP, 0.343), whole process management (WPM, 0.283), and comprehensive management (CM, 0.261). FP directly contributes 55.1% of the impact on STD. WPM and CM indirectly influence STD through tourism benefits and overall tourist perception. These findings provide important guidance for improving STD.

Perceptions Vs. Reality: Assessing The Impact Of Esg Criteria On Investment Outcomes In Asia-Pacific

2024-05-14T11:14:17+00:00

Especially in nations with an unpredictable climate, the current global ESG models have limited application and reliability. However, problems with generalizability, comparability, and continuity have arisen from using ESG models that were either developed internally or obtained from private sources. Based on our findings, we provide a South Korean-specific ESG framework that incorporates both international and domestic considerations across all three dimensions. The AHP model is used to ascertain the relative importance of country-specific and global variables, as well as the institutional investors' perceptions of the three categories' materiality. Findings from this research indicate that institutional investors prioritise governance and environmental considerations above social ones. Among the factors that have a stronger impact on investors' decision-making process are issues related to risk and opportunity management, waste and pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the rights of shareholders. It was also determined that the two South Korean country-specific variables—CEO reputation and collaboration with subcontractors—have a substantial impact on investment choices. Our way to deal with conveying a country-explicit model might be contrasted with research on other creating markets with various nation level specificities by getting approval of the ESG model from institutional financial backers, who are the essential shoppers of organizations' ESG exposures.

Establishing Research instrument to measure inclusiveness of adaptive methodologies in engineering education

2024-02-29T02:49:45+00:00

Engineering Education has been a key to socioeconomic growth of India (developing economy). However, during the last decade there has been less enrollment in engineering institutes especially across rural India which has even led to closure of some institutes. It is conjectured that this problem can be addressed by adaptive educational strategies. Hence it is necessary to understand the efforts taken by engineering institutes in practicing adaptive educational strategies. The objective of this study is to design and test a reliable survey instrument to understand the extent of existence of adaptive education in engineering educational institutes. For the same, a research survey instrument with 8 constructs involving 57 items related to adaptive educational techniques was developed.

A pilot survey comprising 61 students at various engineering institutes was carried out and its analysis was done using SPSS software.

Descriptive Statistics, demographics and related cross tabulation, and correlation between the constructs were established. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was carried out.

It was found from the result that the constructs are independent of demographic variables. Out of 08 constructs, 04 are factorable based on BTS, KMO and PCA tests. The deviation of mean from the top ratings of likert scale indicates the need of adaptive system inclusiveness in almost all educational parameters. The Research instrument can be used for large sample surveys.

How Should Spatial Planning Deal WITH Forced Immigration IN THE Turkish Case?

2024-05-15T11:58:45+00:00

During the last twelve years, one of the hot topics on Türkiye’s public agenda has been Syrian forced immigration. In this period, Türkiye welcomed over 3.1 million Syrian immigrants who freely choose to settle in various cities. They have presented significant concentrations in certain cities and caused socio-spatial impacts. The Turkish spatial planning practice is not capable of coping with these impacts. In this framework, this study focuses on the question of how spatial planning should deal with forced immigration and discusses what kind of qualities spatial planning should have concerning forced immigration, at both regional and urban levels. Resilience is the key concept in these discussions. To make the proposals for resilience more concrete and operational, the German case, as the best spatial planning experience, is analyzed. This analysis offers valuable insights into how Turkish planning practice should address both the existing and the possible the waves of forced migration.

Preservation Of Digital Forensic Evidence Using Blockchain Technology

2024-05-16T06:06:56+00:00

It is evident that safeguarding electronic evidence against various negative outcomes, like tampering or destruction, is crucial for preserving its integrity. To ensure that the evidence is sufficiently pure to be allowed into evidence in court and to protect the integrity of the system, we must take preemptive action against these and other instances. The sequential recording of documents is all that is required for Chain of Custody. A criminal investigator may adhere to all procedures specified in the Chain of Custody in order to guarantee the accuracy of the data. The Chain of Custody is significant because it is impossible to demonstrate that evidence was not altered between its collection and its use in court. As a result, the gathered evidence lacks credibility. Using blockchain technology, a decentralized network that generates a secure database by hashing and storing data in blocks, chain of custody can be implemented in an open and secure manner. We support the Chain of Custody procedure by using Ethereum-based blockchain technology, which helps to verify the accuracy of data submitted at the time of court submission and helps to monitor data access.

Wildlife In India During The Colonial Period

2024-05-16T11:45:19+00:00

The paper throws light on how colonialism affected the wildlife of India, especially the Tiger population which was severely impacted by the policies brought out by the colonial regime. In the colonial period, mastery over nature was thought of as a part of mastery over India. With the heightened hunting of wildlife, several wild predator species were cleared out. To guard the rising livestock and agrarian base after the second half of the eighteenth century, the Brits instituted special prizes for every predator eliminated. Hunting was the standard recreation for the British official; officers even took leave to hunt. Madras, once called Puliyur (land of tigers), was divested of every tiger, as were all the cities of India. At the end of the nineteenth century, there were significantly fewer wild animals that could be hunted. Indiscriminate killing and the declining number of wildlife gave rise to the conservation of the predator species but with a reservation. Wild creatures that endangered these goals were thus systematically culled in colonial India, while those creatures vital for the orderly governance of the British colonial power were spared. Throughout the second half of the nineteenth century, the concept of wildlife conservation gained popularity thanks to the efforts of some hunters who later became naturalists. The 1912 Wildlife Protection Act ushered in a new era of conservation. The requirements of the colonial economy and efficient governance were the main determinants of wildlife conservation. The British devised a program known as “selective conservation” whereby tigers were relentlessly exterminated due to the harm they posed to elephants, which were legally protected due to their importance to the economy and administration. The paper also demonstrates the circumstantial and utilitarian aspects of British policies and behaviour.

An artificial intelligence system utilizes data analysis to predict traffic conditions by considering elements such as time, weather, and events. The system alters traffic lights, redirects traffic, and adapts bus timetables according to the present conditions in the city. The system consistently acquires knowledge and guarantees effective functioning in the busy urban area.

A Study On The Intervention Of Emotional Behavior Disorders In Chinese Children With Autism Through Family Games And Music

2024-05-02T04:51:10+00:00

Background: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often prone to emotional behavior disorders (EBDs), which pose significant challenges to their quality of life, social integration, and overall well-being. These disorders manifest in a variety of ways, including anxiety, depression, and disruptive behaviors, and are particularly pronounced in the context of Chinese culture. In China, societal expectations andfamilial roles play a crucial role in shaping a child's upbringing and social interactions. This cultural backdrop emphasizes conformity, harmony, and family unity, which can sometimes exacerbate the challenges faced by children with autism and their families.

Moreover, the prevalence of autism in China has seen a notable increase, paralleling global trends, yet there remains a gap in1culturally adapted intervention strategies. Traditional Western methods may not fully resonate with Chinese cultural values and family dynamics. Recognizing this gap, our study proposes an innovative intervention that integrates family games and music, both deeply rooted in Chinese culture, to address EBDs in Chinese children with autism. These activities are not only enjoyable and engaging for children but also align with the Chinese emphasis on family bonding and collective activities. Through this approach, the study seeks to explore how culturally sensitive interventions can more effectively support emotional regulation and social adaptation in children with autism within the Chinese context.

Materials and Methods:

Participants: The study involved 60 Chinese children diagnosed with autism, aged between 5 and 10 years, and their families.

Intervention: Participants were divided into two groups - the intervention group (n=30) received a 12-week program consisting of family games and music therapy, while the control group (n=30) received standard care.
Assessment tools: Emotional behavior disorders were assessed using standardized scales before and after the intervention. Additionally, observations and parent reports were collected to measure changes in emotional behavior.

Data analysis: Statistical analysis, including t-tests and ANOVA, was conducted to compare pre- and post-intervention scores between the two groups.

Results: The intervention group showed significant improvements in emotional behavior disorder scores compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Arbitrary values showed a mean decrease of 12 points in the intervention group and only 4 points in the control group. Observations and parent reports also indicated noticeable improvements in emotional regulation,social interaction, and communication skills in the intervention group.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that an intervention program involving family games and music can be effective in reducing emotional behavior disorders in Chinese children with autism. The significant improvements in emotional regulation and social functioning highlight the potential of non-pharmacological interventions as valuable additions to autism therapy. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and generalizability of this approach.

SVM-Based Classifier For Early Detection Of Alzheimer's Disease

2024-05-04T09:45:15+00:00

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a disorder affecting the brain and its functions that results in permanent damage to the brain. This multifaceted disease slowly destroys brain cells, reducing a person's ability to think, remember, and carry out even the most basic duties. Ultimately, this cognitive decline leads to dementia. A significant portion of the global population faces metabolic challenges like Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. Recent research has explored various machine learning approaches aimed at early disease detection. Early AD diagnosis is very important for a speedy recovery and minimizing damage to brain cells. In this proposed work, a machine learning model is developed using Support Vector Machine to detect individuals with dementia (AD) or without dementia (NC). Our model is trained using 2D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain scan images. We computed common performance measures like the F1-score and accuracy to assess the model. The 15-fold cross-validation technique was applied to cross-validate these results. Notably, our results demonstrate that Support Vector Machine (SVM) attained a remarkable accuracy of 99.06% in the detection of AD. Accurate Alzheimer's disease detection through machine learning algorithms can greatly reduce the annual mortality rates related to AD.

Financial Sustainability In Higher Education Institutions: Accounting Perspective

2024-05-06T12:09:35+00:00

This paper aims to review the research literature on financial sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs) from the perspective of accounting principles. A search of Google Scholar to select only the papers available in English yielded 16 papers for the review. Out of 16 papers reviewed, ten dealt with specific financial analyses to highlight the measurement of financial sustainability trends in some HEIs. The remaining six papers dealt with non-financial issues like social factors and conflict between academic and financial logic. The commonly used method for assessing the financial sustainability of HEIs was the estimation of financial ratios. ROA, debt-equity (debt management) ratio, and asset management ratio are some of these ratios. The use of different financial instruments to assess the status of financial sustainability leads to some uncertainty about which method should be used in which context. Further research is required to sort out this issue. Some methods of implementing strategies to ensure financial sustainability in HEIs were described in detail in two papers from Saudi Arabia. Some problems and challenges of implementing these strategies were also discussed in two papers from Italy. HEIs need to implement measures to ensure financial sustainability with continuous monitoring and improvement using appropriate financial ratios. This is necessary because of the reduced funding from public sources and increased demand for accountability and transparency from the HEIs. It also helps to remain competitive in the higher education market.

A Logical Indication Of Stock Price Volatility In Bombay Stock Exchange

2024-05-08T10:16:18+00:00

The term ‘volatile’ refers to a price series or economic indicator that fluctuates significantly and swings wildly. This straightforward and easy-to-understand concept is at the root of many problems in finance. Unlike many other market indicators that can be measured directly, volatility must be measured. This is challenging (if not downright impossible) because we can’t say with confidence that volatility is ‘stochastic’ or that it fits any mathematical model. All we can say with confidence is that volatility is unpredictable. A good estimate of volatility, however, is essential for many applications, such as risk measurement, risk management, option pricing, and hedging.

2024-05-09T15:59:28+00:00

The advancement of artificial intelligence technology has driven artificial intelligence research in many field s such as medicine. Medical intelligence focuses on co mputer- aided diagnosis , which uses signals from the human b ody to predict health problems and diagnose diseases t hrough medical examinations . However, processing a nd recognition of high- quality medical images requires expensive equipment and high energy consumption. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a new approach to detect outliers in chest radiographs using dimensionality reduction and edge detection techniques. The proposed method involves scanning X- ray images using a fixed-size window, performing differential imaging on adjacent segment images, and extracting edge information in binary format using AND operations. Subsequently, the extracted edge data is convolved using a detection filter to generate a series of lines that are divided into 16 types. The frequency of each line type is then summed to form a one- dimensional array for each segment image. This reduced data is used as input for a training model based on a recurrent neural network.To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, se veral experiments were conducted using data showing COVID in chest X-ray. The results showed that the special education con solidation application achieved the highest accuracy a t 97.5%.
