Title: Tribal Identity and the implications for Political and Cultural Development: A Sociological Analysis
Abstract :

The tribal’s, who live in forest areas and other remote place, have got their own culture, customs, practices and religion. They have not remained uninfluenced through the sources of change. The changes have taken place even among the tribal groups that who lived separate from non-tribal. The tribal population in the State of Karnataka, and in the country as a whole, is the most deprived and vulnerable community that faces severe economic exclusion. Although certain constitutional safeguards are provided, no significant economic, social and political mobility has taken place across this community. Therefore it is important to find out the type of changes that have taken place and the factors in effecting these changes and finally the pace and direction of changes that have taken place among them Our paper on “Tribal Identity And The Implications For Political And Cultural Development:A Sociological Analysis” the situation of the Scheduled Tribes in the background of various policies of the state during the successive plan periods and its impact on their socio-economic mobility. Politically, this community is the most voiceless in the state. Their unsecured livelihood position in terms of lack of legal entitlements of the resources they use, both land and non-timber forest produce, push them into deep economic vulnerability.

Title: Comparison of Candida tropicalis and Recombinant Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) Expressed Enzyme Production for Bioconversion of Lignocellulosic Materials
Abstract :

Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable resource naturally available with great potential for bioconversion to value-added bio-products in this case from coconut husk to reducing sugars with bio-converting enzyme(s) from Candida tropicalis and Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). This study was to colometrically analyze the xylitol bioconversion and PAGE analysis expressed natively and recombinantly. Pretreated coconut husk (PC) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were used as the carbon source in minimal media to monitor the enzymatic activity, reducing sugar and enzyme production. Enzymatic hydrolysis was facilitated through fermentation of different compartments of C. tropicalis and recombinant E.coli BL21(DE3) between 0 to 96 hours. After 2 hour of induction, recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3), 0.224 g/L (IN) showed higher enzymatic activity than C. tropicalis, 0.181 g/L (EX). Bands expressed extracellularly by C. tropicalis had an estimated molecular weight of 45 kDa while recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) was 7 kDa. Mannitol dehydrogenase had the highest similarity to the expected peptide sequence through MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Recombinant strains are developed to obtain a higher enzymatic activity compare to the native one. Future studies on optimization of production media may be done.

Title: A Method to Convert Regular Expression into Non- Deterministic Finite Automata
Abstract :
Non-deterministic finite automata are a part of finite automata which can accept only valid strings to process. It is needed to accept valid strings. Regular expression is used for pattern matching for strings. Regular expression cannot give the number of states for a particular automaton. That’s why, we need NFA through which we can state total number of states in any automata. There are several methods to convert non-deterministic finite automata into regular expression but there are few to convert regular expression to non-deterministic finite automata. In this paper, we proposed a method through which one can convert regular expression to non-deterministic finite automata by decomposing the input string with the help of JFLAP tool.
Title: Wind Energy System Load Analysis with Voltage Regulator Controller based STATCOM
Abstract :

The RMS values of the voltage outputs from the wind energy system where the speed of wind varies between 0 to 25 m/s has been observed. It is made to drive the heavy loads and the drop in the voltage outputs is being observed and compared with the system having the STATCOM with AC DC voltage regulation controller. The load has been varied continuously to observe the optimum value of load up to which both the systems are compatible. The waveform of the open circuit voltage output has a variation up to 800 to 1000 volts. This voltage should be maintained when it is made to drive any load without dropping in its value. It was observed that the voltage dip in system without STATCOM is more while driving 1000 KW load. However, the Optimum value of the system upto which it can drive load is 18KW and with STATCOM having AC DC voltage regulation controller It has improved to 50KW.

Title: Hydrothermal Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of one-dimentional Rod-like Hematite (α-Fe2O3) Mineral in Alkaline Medium
Abstract :

Rod-like α-Fe2O3 was synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized using spectroscopic methods of analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), elemental diffraction X- ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods were used to characterize the synthesized mineral. XRD analysis shows that the single-crystalline sample indexed as the pure rhombohedra α-Fe2O3 material was formed while the DLS and zeta potential analysis indicated average particles sizes of about 1300.9 nm and 31.2 mV respectively. The morphology and shape of the synthesized mineral was studied with FESEM and TEM while the elemental analysis was done with EDX. FESEM and TEM analysis show that the synthesized α-Fe2O3 minerals were rod-like in shape while EDX analysis gave a good composition of the elements of the synthesized material. Therefore, this method may be applied to synthesize other forms of iron minerals or other inorganic materials at industrial scale especially when rod-like materials are needed.

Title: Advances in intrusion detection systems with applications to data mining
Abstract :

With the introduction of smart phones with advanced computing and storage capabilities users experience novel kind of security threats. Conventional preventive mechanisms like encryption, authentication alone don’t seem to be enough to produce adequate security for a system. So, we tend to need sensible Intrusion detection systems which will improve security and substantially reduce the cellular phones computing resources. In this work we tend to plan an intrusion detection procedure that with efficiency detects intrusions in mobile phones with an application to Data Mining. To remove overhead of processing from the mobile phones we used network based approach. We build a neural network classifier that may be trained for every user using its call logs. Application will run on phone of the user and collects concerned data of the user and sends them over to the remote server. Results indicate the effectiveness of our methodology to observe intrusions and outperformed existing Intrusion detection strategies with about ninety five percent detection rate.

Title: Stabilization of Natural Rubber against the Effect of Cyclic heating at Different Temperature using Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (Technical CNSL)
Abstract :

Natural rubber being a polymer formed in plants has very limited usefulness if not processed further. The processed (vulcanized) rubber can be further stabilized against thermal oxidation and degradation when put to use to extend the life span. The effect of cyclic heating on natural rubber treated with cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) was determined. The natural rubber samples were dissolved in a given di-ethyl ether and a measured quantity of paraffin was added and divided into two (2) parts. The first groups were samples without stabilizing additive while the other contains stabilizing additive blended in them. The samples were heated at 600C, 800C and 1000C over varying periods of 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 hours respectively and the compounded dried rubber was weighed into each of 12 cavities of a locally fabricate aluminium mould and the mould and its contents introduced into the oven. A solution of a measured amount of each sample in hexane was taken for viscometric measurement. Change in viscosity with length of heating shows that the various samples were degraded with time. The level of degradation of the rubber samples treated with cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) as stabilizer showed better thermal stability compared with those without stabilizing additive.

Title: A dynamic replica recognization using lsi algorithm
Abstract :

Many data mining techniques have been proposed for mining useful patterns in text documents. However, how to effectively use and update discovered patterns is still an open research issue, especially in the domain of text mining. Since most existing text mining methods adopted term-based approaches, they all suffer from the problems of polysemy and synonymy. Over the years, people have often held the hypothesis that pattern (or phrase)-based approaches should perform better than the term-based ones, but many experiments do not support this hypothesis. This project presents an innovative and effective pattern discovery technique which includes the processes of pattern deploying and pattern evolving, to improve the effectiveness of using and updating discovered patterns for finding relevant and interesting information. For efficient pattern mining, Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is used, a new approach to automatic indexing and retrieval. It is designed to overcome a fundamental problem that plagues existing retrieval techniques that try to match words of queries with words of documents. The particular “latent semantic indexing” (LSI) analysis that we have tried uses singular-value decomposition. We take a large matrix of term-document association data and construct a “semantic” space wherein terms and documents that are closely associated are placed near one another. Singular-value decomposition allows the arrangement of the space to reflect the major associative patterns in the data, and ignore the smaller, less important influences. As a result, terms that did not actually appear in a document may still end up close to the document, if that is consistent with the major patterns of association in the data. Position in the space then serves as the new kind of semantic indexing, and retrieval proceeds by using the terms in a query to identify a point in the space, and documents in its neighborhood are returned to the user.

Title: Post COVID-19: New Era for Higher Education Systems
Abstract :

On November 17, 2019, according to several sources, the first case of COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, China, for a 55-year-old man. In addition to that, evolutionary estimates in genetic studies conducted in the early months of 2020 indicated that the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Virus most likely transfered to humans in the period between October 6th, 2019 and December 11th, 2019. The reason that led to the rapid spread of this epidemic is that its symptoms may not appear on the infected person in which, symptoms of the disease might not be shown before two weeks of the infection. The World Health Organization WHO recognized the spread of COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11th, 2020. In the first period of the virus’s spread, specifically in January and February of 2020, Italy, Iran, South Korea, Japan, and China reported increasing numbers of cases. Later that month, specifically on the 26th of February, the number of cases outside China rapidly exceeded the number of cases inside China, with the total number of cases reaching 2,790 distributed in 37 countries. During the next few days, the virus spread around the world at a steady speed, and there was no way or method to find a solution or treatment for its spread. COVID-19 had devastating effects on all living areas and on all industries, in which, it had shocking effects and frightening figures related to the movement of the global economy and companies in a manner related to the repetition and duration of closures in addition to effects beyond description related to current and future effects in connection with the methodology of higher education, universities, and educational institutions, and the related future repercussions. COVID-19 causes many symptoms such as fever, dry cough, fatigue, headache, loss of the sense of smell and taste, it also causes difficulty breathing and nasal congestion. COVID-19 is an abbreviation for coronavirus disease of 2019. Throught out this paper, The virus is mentioned as Coronavirus, COVID, and COVID-19.

Title: A competitive intelligence measures in business forecast with renewable intensity sources
Abstract :

Extracting the data automates the process of finding predictive information in a large database. The ability to gather and analyze effectively business and corporate intelligence is a major advantage for all practitioners in high-tech industries. Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and potential competitors. This analysis provides both an offensive and defensive strategic context to identify opportunities and threats. Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers, for the purpose of selling that product or service. Competitive Intelligence (CI) may not be inappropriate and compares and contrasts competitive intelligence with business intelligence, competitor intelligence, knowledge management, market intelligence, marketing research, and strategic intelligence. Competitor analysis is an essential component of corporate strategy. Predictive analysis is using business intelligence data for forecasting and modeling. It is a way to use predictive analysis data to predict future patterns. In this paper we propose the competitive measures between the two renewable energy sources (RES) namely solar and wind energy. The factors used for determining the competitions between the two sources are price, quality, selection, service, location, reliability, stability etc.

Title: Ultrasound-Assisted Optimization of Pectin Extraction from Orange Peel Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
Abstract :
The objective of study was extraction of pectin from orange peel using ultrasound assisted extraction and response surface method and artificial neural network technique. The accuracy of the two models was studied to compare the performances of the two models to make decision for achievement of optimum process parameters during extraction of the pectin. The following findings are absorbed from the effects of extraction parameters. The pH solution was highly significant compared to ultrasound power. As well as interaction between ultrasound and pH solution were found to be strongly influenced the extraction yield of pectin. The optimal parameters for extraction were irradiation time of 22.5 min, pH of 1.5, and ultrasound power of 155W and liquid-solid ratio 22.5:1 mL/ g. Under these conditions, yield of pectin was 26.87% experimentally, while 26.74 and 26.93% of yield were predicted by response surface methodology and artificial neural network model respectively. The extracted pectin of orange peel was categorized as high methoxyl pectin, since it has 63.13% degree of esterification, which is above 50% affirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy detection. Both response surface methodology and artificial neural network model prediction was in good agreement with experimental data; however, the prediction of artificial neural network prediction was better than artificial neural network. Therefore, artificial neural network model is much more accurate in estimating the values of pectin yield and mean square error when compared with the response surface methodology.

Title: Isatin Derived Mixed Ligand Metal Complexes as Antimicrobial, Antioxidant Agents and Catalyst for Oxidation of Styrene
Abstract :

A novel series of mixed ligand transition metal complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) have been synthesized from the Schiff base ligand, 3-(naphthalen-1-ylimino)indolin-2-one (achieved by the condensation of isatin and naphthylamine) and 1, 10-phenonthroline. The structural features were corroborated by means of elemental analyses, molar conductance, IR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR and mass spectral studies. The data displays that these complexes have the composition of [MLX] type where X = 1, 10-phenonthroline. The UV–Vis. and magnetic susceptibility data of the complexes suggest a square–planar geometry around the central metal ion. The IR spectral data of the ligand exhibits the presence of iminic group and its complexes manifest that the imine group of the Schiff base coordinate with the metal ion and decreased value of carbonyl group indicates which coordinate to the metal. The proton NMR spectrum of the ligand shows the presence of imine group. The mass spectral data also confirms the metal complexes as [MLX] type. Molar conductance values of the complexes have been found in the range of 5 - 14 ohm−1cm2mol−1, suggesting the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The antimicrobial study reveals that copper and cobalt complexes are better antimicrobial agents than the standard drug streptomycin and Nystatin. The copper and cobalt complexes exhibit remarkable antioxidant potential than the other complexes. The catalytic oxidation of styrene by H2O2 was carried out in acetonitrile in the presence of mixed ligand metal complex as catalyst. The result of the catalytic study reveals that the zinc complex effectively catalyses the oxidation of styrene.

Title: Arsenic Contamination of Groundwater in West Bengal: Awareness for Health and Social Problems
Abstract :

During the last four decades arsenic contamination of groundwater in nine districts out of twenty in West Bengal has become a serious problem. About 20% population of West Bengal in nine districts (Malda, Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Kolkata, Howrah, Hoogly and Burdwan) are affected by arsenic problem. Arsenic enters into the human body by drinking of contaminated groundwater and food grains which are irrigated from contaminated water. Bio-accumulation of arsenic is occurring from the food grains as irrigated with arsenic contaminated water. Arsenic contamination of ground water in West Bengal leads to adverse effects on human health. Chronic exposure of arsenic can cause skin cancer and other health effects. Groundwater contamination with arsenic and human suffering are increasing in West Bengal. Arsenic affected people are also facing serious social problems in the affected villagers who are living in very poor economic conditions. To combat the arsenic crisis in West Bengal it is desperately need to increase awareness and educate the people about the problem. Besides, it is also necessary to use maximum of surface water resources by traditional water treatment techniques such as use water after filtration by activated alumina or use water after boiling for safe drinking water.

Title: An Empirical Study on The Socio-Economic Conditions of the Plantation Workers in the Tea Industry of Darjeeling
Abstract :

Tea cultivation occupies a place of pride in the Darjeeling hills. The development of the district has been driven by the growth of the tea industry. Nevertheless, this industry is presently in the grip of a mounting crisis. The Darjeeling tea industry has been passing through a period of stagnation. The existing tea estates experience frequent labour conflicts, and some have been locked out for considerable periods. As the tea workers are dependent solely on their wage earnings, the sufferings of workers have increased driving some of them even to suicide. This gives us a clear picture about the grim situation that confronts workers in the Darjeeling tea estates. The dimension of the structural readjustment that is needed within the tea industry to cope with them needs to be analysed immediately in protecting the rights of plantation workers and in equipping them for work and struggle through new livelihood strategies. Hence, the empirical study on the socio-economic conditions of the workers on the tea plantations would help us to understand their problems, while protecting their interests and provide an immediate help to seek better lookout for the condition of tea plantation workers in the hills before their inefficiency may turn into stagnation of the Tea Industry in Darjeeling.

Title: 3D Perception of a 2D Image Using Displacement Map
Abstract :

The 3D image gives the experience of the invisible dimension of the 2D image. Many researchers work for a display that projects 3D images in a way that makes them visible from all angles and does not require extra accessories. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to construct a 3D image form a 2D image. In which two major techniques are utilized namely segmentation and displacement map. Segmentation technique is used to classify foreground and background objects which plays an important role in 3D imaging. Our focus is only on the foreground of an image because that relates and enhances the overall composition of an image. Displacement map technique is used for constructing the 3D perception of foreground object that will mimic the quality predictions of 3D perception.

Title: Personal Verification Through Finger Vein Pattern Recognition Using Support Vector Machine
Abstract :

Biometric based personal verification gains popularity due to the importance of security and privacy protection. The target of this paper was the design and development of a finger vein identification system that could be used by a number of users in an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) environment. Finger vein recognition uses the internal and unique patterns of finger veins to identify individuals at a high level of accuracy. In general, it is identified that it is a great challenge to design a finger vein identification systems that provides a certain level of performance. For this purpose an effective algorithm based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) for finger vein recognition is used. The information of the finger veins extracted based on a Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Wavelet Transform. Finally, the two score values by the LBP and Wavelet transform is to be combined by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) for image classification. The technique is implemented in MATLAB platform. The Equal Error Rate (EER) and the processing time is reduced when compared to other methods.

Title: Influence of Fiber Volume Fraction, Fiber Angle and Hole Size on the Stress Concentration around the Circular Hole of an Orthotropic Lamina under unidirectional in Plane Loading
Abstract :

This work examines the effect of fiber angle, fiber volume fraction and hole size on the stress concentration around the circular hole of (AS4/3501-6) carbon/Epoxy lamina subjected to unidirectional in plane loading. Three independent fiber volume fractions and fiber orientations for three different hole sizes are considered. Both analytical and finite element solutions are presented using micro and macro mechanics approaches of analysis of orthotropic lamina and by using ANSYS10 finite element package. The analysis is initially carried out by fixing the hole size and by varying the other two parameters (fiber angle and fiber volume fraction). Next, the fixing parameter is interchanged in a cyclic fashion and the process is continued. It is found that the whole size and fiber orientation have greater influence on the stress intensity concentration around the hole vicinity compared to fiber volume fraction.

Title: E-govornence Data Security using Steganography, Concepts, Algorithms and Analysis
Abstract :

Steganography is the art of communicating in such a way that the existence of a secret information within another remains invisible. Since the Greek-era steganography has become a popular mode of secret communication. Modern day digital steganography has traveled through a long path of modification and development from basic LSB matching process to complex artificial intelligence based method. Transferring E-governance related information through non-secure channel like internet is just not vulnerable for the data itself but could damage governmental security and privacy.Therefore, this types of important documents could be protected from unauthorized viewers by applying steganography. In this paper, we have reviewed various steganography techniques and analyzed their positive and negative sides in brief which could be applied for secure transaction of E-governance data.

Title: Development of Mathematical Model to Control Human Population
Abstract :

In this article an effort has been made for a stochastic model of intrinsic rate of human population growth of India and studied when the couples at the personal level decide whether to continue child bearing or not is made on the basis of desired number of male Childs. The aim of developing such a model of intrinsic rate of population growth in terms of bio-social parameters is to study the growth rate of ultimate stable population implied when couples adopt family building process based on desired number of living male child. The departure of the proposed formulation from traditional approach makes it more realistic and relevant from the point of view of bio-social parameters shaping human reproduction. In terms of long run nature of growth rate of population. This model explains the sensitiveness of the biosocial parameters such as female’s age at marriage time, survival chance of mother, spacing between births etc. It will also help to stimulate the consequences of alternating bio-social parameters shaping human reproduction

Title: Cultural Independence at the Age of Globalization: Challenges and Opportunities in the Eyes of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Founder
Abstract :

Globalization has made the world so interwoven and interlocked that all social institutions have to be inevitably open to the global networks and flows of wealth, power, and information. Moreover, since the values and lifestyles of the developing countries are the focus of the globalization waves, these waves pound the cultures of these countries in the first place. In fact, globalization has posed numerous challenges to the autonomy of the developing countries. Hence, cultural independence can function as a strong barrier to globalization. Moreover, globalization provides all countries with proper opportunities, and various cultures can grow through mutual interactions and cultural synergies when time and space are downscaled and geographical boundaries are overstepped. Therefore, analyzing the globalization-induced challenges and opportunities of cultural independence with regard to the remarks of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s founder was the aim of this research. The descriptive-analytical approach was adopted to answer the question about the globalization-driven opportunities and challenges of cultural independence on Parsons’ structural functionalism. The research findings suggested that culture is a dominant system according to Parsons, while the Islamic Republic’s founder believed in the determining role of culture. Globalization targets a country’s cultural independence as a challenge and sets the scene for cultural interactions and synergies as an opportunity.

Title: Blockchain Technology and its Types—A Short Review
Abstract :
Blockchain Technology is the emerging component of IT and Computing and is a kind of encrypted record of data works on distributed database. This is furthermore dealt with the data related to the transaction, contract, independent record, etc. Digital ledger is important and also applicable in various platforms, not bounded in a particular place; and required in financial activities and services and hence it is worthy in healthy digital currency and transactions.

Title: Experimental Investigation on the Thermal Behavior of Untreated and Alkali-Treated Pineapple Leaf and Coconut Husk Fibers
Abstract :

The primary objective of this research work is to study the thermal behavior of untreated and alkali treated pineapple leaf (PALF) and coconut husk fibers (COIR). In this context, firstly the cellulosic fibers were treated with an alkali solution of various concentration (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10 wt%) then secondly the change in their surface chemistry and thermal stability were investigated by means of a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric analysis technique (TGA) respectively. A significant variation in the chemical composition of cellulosic fibers was observed after an alkaline treatment. Changes in the peak at 1745, 1525, and 1250 cm-1 in FTIR spectra corresponds to the partial removal of hemicellulose and lignin components. The thermal degradation of lignocellulosic fibers consists of two major steps i.e. moisture loss (below 150°C) and the decomposition of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin components (between 150°C to 400°C). An alkali treatment increases the thermal stability of pineapple leaf and coir fibers through physical and chemical changes. It was observed that the 4 wt% NaOH treated PALF and COIR fibers possess higher thermal stability as compared to other treated and untreated fibers. PALF exhibits a higher rate of decomposition than the COIR fiber but its main decomposition peak lies at a higher temperature of about 400C.

Title: Inclusive Health-Care: The Best Raw Material for Progressive and Inclusive Growth in India
Abstract :
Inclusive Growth has taken into account of economic growth heading towards equitable allocation of resources with benefits rendered to every section of society, leading to sustainable economic development as a whole. It addresses the basic interrelated issues like education, health, employment, rural-urban infrastructure and financial inclusion. Under these elements inclusive growth allows people to “contribute to” and “benefit from”, economic growth on the whole on equitable terms. Of these elements health-care is considered as the most important element through which citizens are formalized to the basic social security health measures, with quality management, patient safety, efficiency and appropriateness of care. In this way inclusive health-care facilities helps the citizens of the concerned
country to act as the raw material to learn, examine, analyze and implement the policies needed for economic development of the country, in a best possible way. We know that the contribution to the health of a population derives from basic three social determinants of living, which are as follows:
(a) Living conditions with respect to nutritious food, safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.(b) Well maintained health facilities with respect to development of hospitals pharmaceutical facilities. (c) Reliable logistics, healthcare delivery strategies of hospitals quality medicine and technological health-care facilities. Thus, the Government of India needs to improve Quality, Efficiency and Equity by providing the best health-care facilities to all, with improvement in the economic reforms of India heading towards progressive economic growth with strong equality. This paper discusses in detail the concept of inclusive health-care, including its importance, challenges and measures to implement inclusive health-care in India, to usher in attaining inclusive growth in India.

Title: Cloud Based SCADA System for Integrated Water Resources Development and Management Approach with Special Reference to Kannur District
Abstract :

Canal irrigation is widely used source of water for irrigation. So management of irrigation canal water is crucial factor in overall irrigation development. The conventional method is used to deliver water as per demand by the water users (farmers) in form of rotations. The conventional system involves lot of weaknesses, including forecast and actual flow or discharge. Errors may introduce in flow measurements and water content in reservoirs, also imbalances due to human and natural intervention are not considered in the conventional system. Due to this, users at the tail end endure more or shortage water. To provide efficient delivery and avert imbalance, canal automation plays crucial role in irrigation. This paper proposes remote flow control system based on Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA). System monitors and controls required flow continuously, also monitors power status, upstream level, downstream level and system status. It initiates push communication in case of any uncertainty. Desired flow command given by remote SCADA automatically or by operator at main SCADA.

Title: Globalization and Internationalization: ISO 21001 as a Trigger and Prime Key for Quality Assurance of Higher Education Institutions
Abstract :

Talking about quality in higher education is not a new matter, as it was previously discussed by many researchers about the importance of implementing a specific quality system in higher education institutions to ensure preserving the quality of the educational process provided. Accordingly, many quality bodies have appeared in all countries of the world, which operate according to specific (almost similar) protocols to ensure the safety of educational outcomes and that the information reaches the student. Those protocols aim to guarantee that the graduate benefits from the courses they had studied and applied that information in the labor market while ensuring that this information is relevant and compatible with the labor market requirements. In a later period, and with the advent of time, new and specific terms emerged that clarify the differences related to the academic accreditation of educational institutions, including programmatic, institutional, regional, and local accreditation (and we will talk about the difference between them later in the research) and with the passage of years, a new concept emerged that the International Organization for Standards ISO introduced, namely: Management Quality Management System for Educational Institutions ISO 21001. This standard appeared in late 2017 and early 2018 and is similar in its work and goal to institutional accreditation provided by bodies for educational quality assurance and control in the European Union, USA, Canada, and all other countries worldwide.

Title: Effect of Incorporation of Black Pepper and Cardamom on Quality Characteristics of Paneer
Abstract :

Paneer is an indigenous dairy product which is relished by all and has high nutritional value, but has poor shelf-life. While herbs are known to be effective natural preservative, antioxidant and flavouring agent. Thus the present study was designed to develop herbal paneer by incorporating herbs viz., black pepper (0.25%) and cardamom powder (0.50%) and its quality parameters (pH, titratable acidity, TSS, moisture content, ash content, fat content, protein content, phenolic content and sensory parameters) were evaluated and compared with control sample. The results revealed that the herbal paneer was organoleptically better than control samples, while no or least effects were found on the proximate and physiochemical parameters of the paneer. The total phenolic content was found to be slightly higher in herbal paneer sample, indicating possibility of use of herbs to develop a novel functional dairy product with enhanced antioxidant properties and ultimately enhanced shelf-life.

Title: Trade War – A Threat to Multilateral World Trading System under WTO: Recent Trends
Abstract :

In this paper, we wanted to point out how Trade war begins with nationalist rhetoric and old protectionist slogans to gain National Welfare. We discussed how United States dominated the world trade and initiated most of the Trade wars. We also understood from our study that such type of trade wars are basically damaging to global trading system by harming small countries mostly and bringing no welfare gains for the US. We discussed how US –China trade wars took place and explained these trade wars are the results of domestic protectionist measures of these countries. The US govt. implements high tariff which damages Terms of Trade, Friendly Cooperation between trading nations, and initiates retaliations among trading partners with Nash Equilibrium. At last we can say that from these types of trade conflicts the US govt. though adds sectoral gains in the value added but ultimately gains no welfare for the country itself. In case of US-China trade wars the loss for China are comparatively smaller as compare to other nations. After beginning of any trade wars there exits free riders that can damage many areas of trade and TOT deteriorations can even depends on how retaliations from opposite countries takes place.

Title: A Study on the Development and Application of Number Theory in Engineering Field
Abstract :

Number theory is probably one of the most important areas of Mathematics used in Computer Science and the basics behind all of modern Cryptography. Number theory is devoted originally to the study of integers. With the contributions made by Mathematicians in different ages to advancing the study of integers, the basics system of number theory has been gradually improved and thereby a complete and unified discipline has been formed. The paper mainly studies the development and application of number theory, aiming to review the history of discipline and explore its influence on production and our life and its applications in Engineering Field. The Number Theory, as such, was less applied in engineering compared to calculus geometry etc. The problem was that it could not be used directly in any application. But the number theory, combined with the computational power of modern computers, gives interesting solutions to real life problem. At present, number theory is widely and fully applied in many fields, such as Computing, Cryptography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Acoustics, Electronics, Communication, Graphics and even Musicology.

Title: Study on Photoelectrochemical Properties of Ternary Doped Cd1-xZnxS thin Film Deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition
Abstract :

The photoelectrochemical properties of Cd1-xZnxS (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) thin film, prepared by Chemical bath deposition technique on simple glass and fluorine doped tin oxide(FTO) coated glass substrate were studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicate that film was hexagonal with polycrystalline in nature. The current-voltage (I–V) curve for PEC cell of configuration n-Cd1-xZnxS//1M polysulphide//C under illumination for film deposited on FTO coated glass substrate, respectively. I–V curve characterizes the semiconductor/ electrolyte junction which acts like a diode. The interface shows a rectifying behavior with a cathodic current (direct) much greater than the anodic current (reverse), which is typical of a Schottky junction formed between an n-type semiconducting material and a metal or an electrolyte. Various PEC parameters such as the junction ideality factor under illumination, series and shunt resistances, effi ciency and, fi ll factor have been calculated for the PEC cells formed. The effi ciency and fi ll factor of these PEC cells are found to be increased as increasing X=0.4 and further, it decreases as X increases.

Title: Effects to Construction Project Management Impacted Circular Economic of Covid-19 Pandemic
Abstract :

COVID-19, social distance, self-isolation, quarantine, layoff, migraine prophylaxis, and many others have started to emerge as the globe's new vocabulary, not exempted from the construction sector. It is exactly a period since the modern world encountered the very last epidemic. Nevertheless, the most famous epidemic of disease known as Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was reported to have struck all peoples of the world within 4 months and proclaimed an epidemic in March 2020. This outbreak has impacted industries from all around the world, such as built-up asset procurement and facility management. Its influence has led to the use of creative and complex innovations in an outstanding way that can alter the direction of construction long just after coronavirus has been extinguished. This thesis examines the impact of COVID-19 using a quantitative approach on built asset acquisition and future prospects for the construction sector. For the information gathering, a survey was conducted out over the built asset acquisition practitioners. Architects, building, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers, project managers and quantity surveyors received 71 questionnaires. For the study of the results, the program SPSS 25 (a social science statistical package) was used. From the result of the analyzing it’s become clear of the project status that over 90 percent reported that their projects were impacted due the Pandemic. Nearly 51 percent of the participants suggested that their initiatives were partly halted due to the COVID-19, while up to 40 percent of the participants witnessed full stoppage. One of the participants disclosed that the proposals had been absolutely halted at the initial level and then turned into partial.

Title: Cultural Awareness Building Effective International Relations: An Inter Country Case
Abstract :

The world is unquestionably shrinking because of developments in transportation and communications. Innovation joined with the improvement of a world market have brought about individuals from various countries, societies, dialects and experiences now interacting, meeting and working together like never before. Not many organizations can get away from the need to eventually manage partners or customers from another culture. Doing business is a global phenomenon and if a company needs to create, improve and advance then it becomes necessary for it to connect with the possibilities that the world has to offer.Negotiations are a successive element of international business. Partners included in a negotiation encounter distinctive issues in achieving an effective result. At the point when the groups have distinctive cultural backgrounds the confronted issues turns out to be rather complicated. The Western (Spanish) and the Eastern (Indian) cultures have been studied by numerous experts to express the contrast between their cultures in light of the fact that recognized contrasts does prevail between them and that is one of the explanations for the differences in negotiation between Spanish and Indian cultures.

Title: Labour Force Participation Rate in Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Activities in Sikkim with Special Emphasis on Women’s Work Participation: Variation Across Districts
Abstract :

The present study analyses the labour force participation rate in agricultural and non-agricultural activities in Sikkim with special emphasis on women’s work participation and its variations across the districts. The study was based on secondary data that was collected for the agricultural workers, non-agricultural workers and total workers from the Census of India, 2011. The total agricultural workers comprised of the cultivators and the agricultural labourers; the total non-agricultural workers included workers in the household industry and other workers. Total workers consisted of the main workers and the marginal workers. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentages and tabular representation. Both in the agricultural and the non-agricultural activities, men dominated women whose participation was found to be between, 50 to 72 per cent. However, while comparing the involvement of the men and the women as main and marginal workers, it was observed that 70 per cent of the men were involved as main workers and 56 per cent of the women were actively involved as marginal workers. Inter-district variations in all the categories of the work mentioned above were found in the state. Ultimately, it was realized that 50 per cent of the population of the state were working population and 50 per cent were dependent or non-working population. Such a result is a great concern to all the stakeholders of the state especially the policy makers. More employment opportunity is to be augmented in the state to involve more people in work to enhance the state’s economy.

Title: Tyre Retreading by Hot Retreading Process
Abstract :

Tyre is made up of natural rubber or synthetic rubber .natural rubber is present as milky liquid or latex in the bark of rubber tree, HEVEA BRASILIENSIS. Natural rubber combines with carbon, oil, sulphur and the chemicals at a temperature of 100-140oC and under goes a number of stages of processes. Synthetic rubber is any vulcanisable man made rubber like polymer. By retreading tyre we are doing a good job which is in favour of Natural resources. Tyre Retreading is a new technology, where the old tyres are made serviceable by removing worn out and damaged treads and replacing it with new treads. New treads are available in the market in form of rolls and in brief, in can be put on old tyre and cured with the help of steam. Similar to the new tyres, the treaded tyres can be very well used on all vehicles, irrespective of light or heavy vehicles. With a safe and new technology, which is being adopted now-a-days, it will be more easy and economical to produce tyres. As day by day, more and more vehicles are running on roads, hence more tyres are required for replacement. With further growth of economy, there will be an increase in transport as well as passenger vehicles and hence more tyres will be required. Hence, there is a very wide scope for retread tyres as an original replacement.

Title: Performance Evaluation of a Small Tractor with Biodiesel
Abstract :

Biodiesel, which is an alternative for diesel fuel, has gained considerable attention in the recent past and now gaining recognition among other available renewable fuels. In practice, biodiesel is produced through a process called transesterification in which organically derived oils are combined with alcohol (ethanol or methanol) in the presence of a catalyst to form ethyl or methyl ester. The produced biodiesel should meet the exiting standards for better performance in unmodified diesel engine. Use of biodiesel in a compression ignition engine was found to develop a highly compatible engine-fuel system with low emission characteristics. Two similar engines were operated using optimum biodiesel blend and mineral diesel oil, respectively. The additional lubricating property present in the fuel resulted in lower wear and improved life of moving components in a biodiesel-fuelled engine. However, this needed experimental verification and quantification. A series of experiments were thus conducted to see the fuel consumption of the various concentrations of biodiesel blends. 100% biodiesel showed lesser consumption rate compared to diesel oil.

Title: Growth of Life Insurance Business in India: A Study
Abstract :

In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. It finds mention in the writings of Manu (Manusmrithi), Yagnavalkya (Dharmasastra) and Kautilya (Arthasastra). The writings talk in terms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in times of calamities such as fire, floods, epidemics and famine. This was probably a pre-cursor to modern day insurance. Ancient Indian history has preserved the earliest traces of insurance in the form of marine trade loans and carriers’ contracts. Insurance in India has evolved over time heavily drawing from other countries, England in particular. Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community and Indian natives were not being insured by these companies. The insurance sector has gone through a number of phases by allowing private companies to solicit insurance and also allowing foreign direct investment. India allowed private companies in insurance sector in 2000, setting a limit on FDI to 26%, which was increased to 49% in 2014.

Title: Design and Development of Wooden Plate Metering Device for Onion Bulb Planter
Abstract :

An inclined plate metering device for onion bulb planter was developed and its performance was evaluated in CAE, Lab, JNKVV, Jabalpur. Elevating error, cell fills, bulb damage, actual planting distance, mean planting distance, planting error and feed index were evaluated under the different peripheral speed of the rotor with respect to 3 angular positions of metering plate. It was found that elevating error was minimum (1.51 %) at the metering plate inclination of 50° compared to 60° and 70° at the peripheral speed of 7.6 m/min. The cell fill was maximum (100.38 %) due to double feed at the inclination angle of 50° compared to 60° and 70° at the peripheral speed of 7.6 m/min but the bulb damage was found nil at the inclination angle 500 at a peripheral speed 7.6 m/min. The bulb damage increases with an increase in peripheral speed of the rotor and actual planting distance, mean planting distance, planting error was minimum 10.79 cm, 11.08 cm, 1.92 cm respectively, with a maximum feed index of (93.17%) at minimum travel speed 0.6 km/h. However, the actual planting distance, mean planting distance, planting error increased and feed index decreased with the increase in travel speed, but the cell fill decreased with the increase in peripheral speed at all inclination positions.

Title: Scenario of Indian Agricultural Export of Major Agricultural Commodities in the Post WTO Regime
Abstract :
Agriculture was included under WTO through AOA negotiation in 1995. Today around 17% of India’s GDP (India’s GDP is US $ 2.545 trillion) is from agricultural sector and 12% of total export earning which is substantial amount to have a huge impact on nation’s economy if any change occurs in the world economy. 55% of total employment comes from agricultural sector. About 70% people directly or indirectly depends on it and about 43% of India’s total land is covered by agricultural sector. India became self sufficient in Food grain production decades after independence. It is now producing around 280 million metric tons of food grains in the world and ranks first in many major agricultural food crops in the world. But after liberalization phase started in the world with WTO (1st Jan 1995) and AOA many thing has dramatically changed in agricultural sector of India, for example, Total yield or Output, Farm Pattern, Agricultural Infrastructure, Annual Compound Growth rate in Production & Export, Imports, Prices of major agricultural food and non food materials, Export Competitiveness, quantitative restrictions, tariff & non tariff barriers, export subsidy, domestic support, sanitary & Phyto sanitary measures, Geographical Indication, Trade
related intellectual property rights etc. WTO which has replaced GATT (general agreement on trade & tariff 1947-1994) was established for multilateral trade agreements among nations is committed to Free trade, Non discriminations in trade, Removal of Quantitative Restrictions, non tariff barriers between nations and free & fair competitions in trade among nations[12]. India who is a founding member among 162 member nations of WTO, maintaining and obeying most of the clauses related to developing nations in WTO charters. Our study have looked into the norms and rules of WTO, how far India has followed those rules and what are the consequences has happened to India’s agricultural trade since WTO and a comparison between the pre & post WTO era in trading of Indian agricultural commodities. And our Findings in this small study is that India has benefitted in many extent in agricultural trade the post liberlisation or post WTO period and trade indicators are positive in many extent. This thing has surfaced many issues that may be taken for study and research. This paper like many papers compares Indian agricultural export in the pre & post WTO era but at the same time it also took into consideration the commodity wise trade and both convergence & divergence in Indian agricultural export. This paper reveals that India was specializing in agricultural commodity export in the pre WTO period but it left it and started gaining its expertise in agricultural commodity export in the post WTO era. So WTO has made mixed impact on Indian agricultural commodity export.

Title: A Study on Gender Differences on Gratitude, Spirituality and Forgiveness Among School Teachers
Abstract :
Gratitude is a sense of thankfulness and joy in response to receiving a gift, whether the gift be a tangible benefit from a specific other or a moment of peaceful bliss evoked by natural beauty. Spirituality has been defined in research literature as the process of seeking personal authenticity, genuineness, and wholeness; transcending one’s current locus of centricity.
Forgiveness is a suite of pro-social motivational changes that occurs after a person has incurred a transgression. However, no comprehensive review of literature is available on the cumulative effect of gratitude, spirituality and forgiveness and on the role and contribution of gender differences for the same. Therefore, taking this into consideration the present study attempted to investigate gender differences on gratitude, spirituality and forgiveness among 80 school teachers for which t-test was computed. Results indicated
that significant gender differences were found among male and female teachers with respect to gratitude (males found to be higher than females), spirituality and forgiveness (females were found to be higher than males on both the dimensions). However, further research is needed to substantiate the same.
Title: A Comparative Analysis of Data Compression Techniques
Abstract :

Data compression is the process that is used to reduce the physical size of a block of information; data compression encodes information using fewer bits to help in reducing the consumption of expensive resources such as disk space or transmission bandwidth. The task of compression consist of two components, an encoding algorithm that takes a message and generates a compressed representation (hopefully with fewer bits), and a decoding algorithm that reconstructs the original message or some approximation of it from the compressed representation. Data Compression is divided into two (2) broad categories namely Lossless compression and lossy algorithms. This paper examined these compression techniques and provided a comparative analysis of three commonly used compression techniques (the Huffman, Lempel-Ziv and RunLength Encoding). The results revealed that compression algorithms can be proven to be more effective on notepad, text, web documents, PDF, Images and sound.

Title: Design of Flexible Pavements on Expansive Soils
Abstract :

“American roads are good not because America is rich, but America is rich because American roads are good.” — John F. Kennedy. India has a road network of over 5,472,144 kilometres (3,400,233 mi) as on 31 March 2015, the second largest road network in the world. Expansive soils are typically clays that demonstrate extensive volume and strength changes at varying moisture content due to their chemical composition. The main causes of premature failures of road pavements is attributed to expansive subgrade soils and poor drainage, leading to severe cracking and heave on road surface. The amount of certain clay minerals that are present, such as montmorillonite and smectite, directly affect the shrink-swell capacity of soil. This ability to drastically change volume can cause damage to existing structures. The aim of this paper is to highlight issues of expansive subgrades & suggest some workable solutions so that highway engineers can improve design and construction methodology of pavement on expansive soils. As per a report, “Expansive clay soil causes more damage to U.S. commercial and residential property each year than all hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes and floods combined”.

Title: Vocational Education and Training: Quality & Employability
Abstract :

Vocational education system relates to programmes of study with job readiness. Though vocational education is non-formal in nature and focuses primarily on industry specific trade, occupation or vocational study enabling grass-root level people to acquire job specific skills based on hands-on-practice and/or training for their gainful employment. The Indian education system recognizes the role of vocational education, keeping in view the demand of highly skilled labour force both in the government as well as private/business sectors. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) set up by the Government of India plays an important role in co-ordination with its allied bodies like- National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Sector Skill Councils (SSC) and training partners for fulfilling the industrial requirements of trained and skilled manpower, besides skill up-gradation, and building of new skills not only for existing jobs but also aiming at jobs that are to be created in near future. Notwithstanding that there are many areas in which India is facing challenges to overcome problems in implementation of vocational education in regard to quality and employability, the paper intends to emphasize on some aspects of quality, employability and Government’s role in vocational education programme implementation.

Title: Higher Education: Informal Learning for Unorganized Sector
Abstract :

Higher education could be interactive and subject centred, and yet, it is not only about reading books and learning by heart but much more about knowing oneself while entering into the knowledge world. However, being educated is a chance in life, and this opportunity should be extended to anyone and everyone in whatever form it suits to him/her. For a country like India, informal education is our strength, and we may train large section of grass-root level and under-privileged children to help them develop not only in their local pockets but to help globally with trained and skilled manpower in diverse fields the industries look forward to acquire skilled hands for different jobs. To the unorganized sectors where employability is over 90 %, the thrust has to be directed on how to produce trained and skilled manpower to cope with the variety of job requirements. Further, the introduction of technological developments focusing the relatively higher product quality benchmark, the challenges in the informal sector are on rise; and thus, this paper attempts to analyze the ever growing importance of strengthening of the informal teaching-learning processes highlighting the new expectations from the higher education.

Title: Fully Reused VLSI Architecture of FM0/Manchester Encoding Technique for Memory Application
Abstract :

In this paper a fully reused VLSI architecture of FM0/Manchester encoding technique for memory application has been proposed. In this paper we are encoding the 1 bit data into 16 bit data and storing it into a memory of certain address location given by the linear feedback shift register (LFSR),whose input is taken from the pseudo random sequence generator (PRSG). The encoded 16 bit data is stored into memory controller; the encoded data is decoded back into 1 bit data under the condition: when MSB bit is at logic state 1. By using FM0/Manchester encoding and decoding technique, the data will be secure , this process is easy and faster to carry out. This paper develops a fully reused VLSI architecture, and also exhibits an efficient performance.

Title: Study on Shear Strength of Soil In Relation to Plant Roots as A Combind Matrix
Abstract :
Shear data for the unvegetated soil control samples, Thysanolaena maxima, and Saccharum spontaneum after 4,8 and 12 weeks of growth were studied. The soil stabilization effect of plant roots is based on two components ,first by friction between the soil particles that transfer shear stresses from the soil to the root reinforcement system, and second by soil arches that build up between cylindrical soil units that are reinforced by roots (root stocksoil
elements) and stabilize areas that are not rooted. Shear increase in rooted soil is based on the model of a combined matrix of a material that consists of fibres of relatively high strength and adhesion to a matrix of lower tensile strength. The reduction factor is defined as the ratio of particle size of the output material. The proportion of particle close to 0.425 mm was quite large and the amount of clay sized particle was too small to make the whole
sample plastic. The 0.075mm sieve were limited to a maximum of 2% although this percentage was permitted to rise to10% if the fines of this size were non plastic. Although exhibiting lower shear strengths than their unvegetated counterparts in the 4-week growth scenario, both species were seen to approach higher soil stability by the 12-week growth
scenario. Thysanolaena maxima handled higher shear stresses than the soil control sample after 8 and 12 weeks. The existing root area occupied by roots on a potential shear surface at a certain depth or by using the relationships of shear-strength increase in the soil versus the root- area ratio or the bulk weight of root per volume unit of soil. Together all these
three plants (Thysanolaena maxima, Saccharum spontaneum and Vetiveria zizanioides) are very effective as reinforcer for the prevention of soil erosion. Reinforcement is provided by both thin and coarse roots, the former acting more as tensile elements within the soil matrix, whereas large diameter roots can also act as tendons or anchors connecting planted surface layers to underlying or adjacent stable soil zones.

Title: Employability : The Key Issue in Higher Education
Abstract :
The growth of Higher Education in India demands for “quality” and “excellence” because the present rate of “graduate employability” is just about 20 %. This is primarily because of the poor quality of teaching and research in many institutions; and also, the graduates lack industry relevance to be job ready from day one in terms of their acquired knowledge and skills. The paper examines to evolve a simple framework taking into account of the
present time deficiencies owing to the lack of appropriate infrastructure, great shortage of qualified and experienced teachers, significant gaps in the design of curricula meeting industry orientation, inadequate exposure or industry internship of the graduates, etc.; and further, discusses on the continuously increasing expectations from the private sector institutions towards the creation of knowledge networks, skills up-gradation centres, R&D
centres, innovation centres, centres of excellence, industry institute partnership, and the establishment of faculty development institutes for faculty and support staff to be trained in their respective fields.
Title: Evaluation of Analgesic And Anti-inflammatory Activity of Herbal Formulation Used for Mastitis in Animals
Abstract :

Nature has been the source of medicinal agents for more than thousands of years, interestingly phytotherapy dominates in age old traditional system and also practice of alternative medicine across different cultures as Indian and Chinese system of medicine and Unani literature respectively. More than 70% of world’s population is rely on herbal medicines for most part of their primary health care system. Investigations have been carried out from time to time to develop types of herbal formulations either singly or in combinations (Polyherbal formulations) to enhance overall therapeutic potential of the formulation. The present study was carried out to ascertain analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of methanolic extracts of herbal combination containing equal proportion of Diploclisia glaucescens leaf and rhizomes of Curcuma longa in Wistar albino rats. The solvent yield of these extract was 16.75% and colour with dark brown to reddish brown with solid to semisolid consistency. The collected extracts were subjected to phytochemical analysis before animal experimentation, revealed the presence of all major phytoconstituents including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, tannins and terpene compounds. The analgesic activity was assessed by Eddy’s hot plate method and Formalin induced rat paw edema model and anti-inflammatory activity by Carrageenan induced paw edema model respectively. Significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity was noticed in the herbal formulation treated groups of both 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight. These test drug activity was sustained and comparable to the standard drug, Ibuprofen and Indomethacin. Thus the study can be concluded that the test drug possess significantly higher analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity possibly due to the presence of manifold secondary phytoconstituents.

Title: Design and implementation of persistence of vision display using ARDUINO and GSM shield
Abstract :

Persistence of Vision (POV) is a unique concept that we experience in our day-to-day life whenever an afterimage of something seems to persist for 1/30th of a second on the retina of our eye. POV display creates a perception of an image; occupying a spatial portion in rapid succession. This paper proposes the concept of persistence of vision using ARDUINO, Microprocessor ATmega328, Arduino GSM shield and a series of LEDs used for display wherein the Arduino GSM shield is used to interface ARDUINO with the SIMCOM modules. The theory behind this lies in the fact that, as long as the entire path between an image and human eye is complete during the visual persistence time, ‘the whole image is perceived’. To overcome the drawbacks of old processor, we emphasize this paper on interfacing our POV display with GSM shield with an inserted SIM. Microcontroller board- Arduino uno based on ATmega 328, GSM shield integrated with SIMCOM module and IDE software are being used for achieving the desired results.

Title: Digital Divide and Internet Saathi: A Social Computing and Informatics Practice Project for Empowering Indian Women
Abstract :
Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks and it offers a multitude of services to the users. It is the network of networks used mainly to transmit text and visual messages instantly such as electronic mail (email). The internet is used through world wide web succinctly called as www has vast information in the domain of public and private consisting of, academic, business, government, research, trade and so on. Internet is offered by several means or methods which include Satellite, electronic, wireless optical network etc. It is mainly accessible through Internet Protocol (IP) enabled www platform. Initially the program had started in 1969for a private use but gradually it spreads around the world due to its numerous
benefits and cost advantage. But today the world is digitally divided, it is a fact that in many developing and underdeveloped countries access to internet is limited to rich and it is highly gender biased. Access to Internet services have several disparities among men and women in India despite Indian government’s flagship programme of Digital India which aims at transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. In many cases, Internet connections are restricted or offered on very limited basis and also in some cases centered to cater only men and highly restricted to women. In order to bridge this internet gap among women the ‘Internet Saathi’ program is launched jointly by the Google India, Tata Trust, Intel India—to cater Internet Services to the Indian women and remove disparities between the Indian men and women. In this backdrop, the Papermakes an attempt study its impact on the access of internet among women based on the secondary data and the background of a case study.

Title: Women's Empowerment and Security Mechanism in 21st Century Present Indian Scenario
Abstract :

Women’s empowerment in India is heavily dependent on many different variables that include geographical location (urban/rural), educational status, social status (caste and class), and age. Policies on women’s empowerment exist at the national, state, and local (Panchayat) levels in many sectors, including health, education, economic opportunities, gender-based violence, and political participation. However, there are significant gaps between policy advancements and actual practice at the community level. Women Empowerment itself elaborates that Social Rights, Political Rights, Economical stability, judicial strength and all other rights should be also equal to women. There should be no discrimination between men and woman. Women should now there fundamental and social rights which they get once they born.

Abstract :
In this article, SrMgSiO4:Eu3+ red emitting phosphors were synthesized with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions by using solid state synthesis approach. The structure, morphology and luminescent properties of the phosphors were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The XRD analysis revealed that addition of dopant increased the crystallinity of the samples. The SEM images showed the samples have irregular in shapes. The photoluminescence emission spectra of prepared SrMgSiO4:Eu3+ phosphor was observed at 394 nm excitation wavelength. The optimum concentration of the dopant having highest luminescence intensity is found to be 0.5 mol %. The obtained PL results indicated that prepared phosphor is suitable as red phosphors for white LEDs.
Title: A Comprehensive Model for Decision-making Problem Incorporating Uncertainty
Abstract :

Decision-making is an assessment activity where several alternatives will be assessed to identify the best alternative or the optimal set of alternatives. The assessment that is carried out by humans is always not precise. Imprecision may exist in the form of incompleteness, ignorance, vagueness and uncertainty. The literature records many techniques for decision-making, which are based on different scales of assessment. Further, there are algorithms which aggregate assessments data for meaningful results and analyses. The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive model which integrates collection of assessments incorporating uncertainty and aggregation of the obtained data to generate ranks of preference of the alternatives. Interested researchers can envisage the model in different empirical and contextual settings to extract the potential.

Title: Multi response Characteristics of Machining Parameters During Drilling of Alluminium 6061 alloy by Desirability Function Analysis using Taguchi Technique
Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach for optimizing the machining parameters on drilling of alluminium 6061 alloy. Optimization of machining parameters was done by an analysis called desirability function analysis (DFA), which is a useful tool for optimizing multiresponse problems. In this work, based on Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array, drilling experiments were conducted over a wide a range of cutting conditions such as spindle speed varied in the range 600 rpm to 1000 rpm in 3steps, feed rate varied from 0.3 to 0.6mm /rev in 3 steps, high-speed steel (HSS) drills of 3 different diameters (8mm, 10mm
and 12mm) and different point angles have been used for drilling of 27 through holes on 10mm depth with variable combination of soluble oil mixing with pure water on Aluminum 6061 alloy. A drill tool dynamo meter was used to record the thrust force and torque. A composite desirability value is obtained for the multi-responses using individual desirability values, based upon that value, the optimum levels of parameters have been identified and significant contribution of parameters were determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Confirmation test was conducted to validate the test result, which shows that the multiresponses in the machining process are improved through this approach. Thus, the application of desirability function analysis in Taguchi technique proves to be an effective tool for optimizing multi response characteristics of machining parameters during of drilling of alluminium 6061 alloy.

Title: Extending the Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks with Threshold Sensitive Stochastic Election Approach
Abstract :

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a broad array of independent sensors called nodes. These nodes are inexpensive and are used in data gathering usually in hostile environments. They collect data physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, pressure, etc. And send it to a base station. They are limited in efficiency, secure routing, load sharing, etc. To overcome these issues clustering is performed in WSN, which partitions the network into groups. Each group selects a cluster head which gathers data from all the nodes and sends it to the base station. These groups head are selected using various algorithms which are based on residual energy, distance, etc. The proposed algorithm suggests the usage of a stochastic election approach to effectuate the improvement in load balancing of clusters in wireless sensor networks which also improves the network lifetime. The proposed system is a modified version of the SEARCH algorithm which is adapted with data thresholding to increase the network lifetime and remove redundancy of the data sent. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is more efficient than other distributed algorithms. This technique can be easily extended to large-scale wireless sensor networks.

Title: Impact of perceived organisational support on job satisfaction – a study report
Abstract :

Perceived Organizational Support (POS) is the degree to which employees believe that their organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being (Eisenberger, Huntington, Huntington, & Sowa, 1986; Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002). Perceived Organisational support would be influenced by various aspects of an employee’s treatment by the organization and would in turn, influence the employee’s interpretation of organizational motives underlying that treatment. Organizational support theory (OST: Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchinson, & Sowa, 1986; Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002; Shore & Shore, 1995) holds that in order to meet socioemotional needs and to assess the benefits of increased work effort, employees form a general perception concerning the extent to which the organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being. Such perceived organizational support (POS) would increase employees’ felt obligation to help the organization reach its objectives, their affective commitment to the organization, and their expectation that improved performance would be rewarded. Job satisfaction is simply how content an individual is with his or her job. In other words, whether or not they like the job or individual aspects or facets of jobs, such as nature of work or supervision. Job satisfaction is the level of contentment a person feels regarding his or her job.

Title: Protein Tertiary Structure Classification based on its Physicochemical property using Neural Network and KPCA-SVM: A Comparative Study
Abstract :

Proteins are one of the most important molecules in living organisms so they play a vital structural role in the cells of living organism. They are constructed of several polypeptide chains of amino acids, which fold into complex tertiary Structure. The knowledge of the protein function is directly dependent on its three dimensional (tertiary) structure. The Physicochemical properties of proteins always guide to determine the quality of the protein tertiary structure. Therefore it has been rigorously used to distinguish native or native like structure from other predicted structure. The experiments were conducted on the CASP dataset to classify RMSD (target class) near to native protein tertiary structure or not. Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is used for feature extraction since it performs better than PCA on protein tertiary structure dataset due to their nonlinear structures. The proposed model compare with neural network classification method. The experiments conducted shows that support vector machine combined with KPCA feature extraction performs better than neural network classifier. More than our results show better performance in Gaussian KPCA feature extraction with respect to other kernels.

Title: Comparative performance analysis of IEEE 802.15.4 in WSN using NS2
Abstract :

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are type of network which is mainly deployed to those areas where infrastructure network is unavailable and where people cannot reach easily. To those areas sensors are deployed to collect information about the environment. Since sensors are run by battery power, long time use of sensors to those remote areas, is one of the main challenges for WSN. To deal with long time use of battery power, low power consumption technique is used. IEEE 802.15.4 standardization is used for Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LRWPAN). To get a lesser amount of consumption of power, few parameters of IEEE 802.15.4 are changed in our proposed strategy. At last comparison of proposed strategy and IEEE 802.15.4 is made where proposed strategy performs well for low power consumption.

Title: The Effectiveness of 21st Century Multimedia Lab English Teaching compared to Traditional English Teaching for Non-native Speakers of English
Abstract :
English is the universal language, even though other languages might have more speakers. The English language is widely used around the world and everyone wants to learn it. Teaching English using multimedia labs to non-native speakers is very popular around the world. That means researchers have to do research on the effectiveness of Multimedia Lab Teaching English in Myanmar. The researcher and his team observed two schools in Kyaukse, Myanmar: MKL Private High School by applying a computer-based test through Multimedia Lab Teaching and No.1 Public High School by conducting a paper-based test through Traditional Teaching. They attended two days a week by setting different dates for their appointments with each school. Researchers observed that both teachers prepared and trained their selected 40 students in 5th grade (20 each from the two schools) to familiarize themselves with the skills test-questions would be extracted from their daily lessons and activities that they have been taught and learned to date. Researchers found the MKL students 100% easily performed in terms of speaking and listening due to their daily usage of multimedia resources and practices. For No.1 public school students, they mostly failed to do so as they were out of practice and had no resources for Multimedia Technologies. The same goes for reading and writing. MKL students answered well, except 5%, but for No. 1, public school students made only 50% of proper answers due to the lack of the latest resources, such as digital books and multimedia resources. Overall, the MKL students got higher scores in all the skills, even in grammar and phonics tests, through the continuous usage of multimedia effectively.
Title: An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System for the Prediction of Kansai International Airport Domestic Passenger Demand
Abstract :
This paper proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for predicting an airport’s domestic air passenger demand. Osaka’s Kansai International Airport was selected as the case site for the study, which covered the period 1994 to 2018. The combination of an artificial neural network with a fuzzy inference system provides a hybrid neuro fuzzy inference system that can predict an airport’s domestic air passenger demand with a high predictive capability. In this study, coefficient of determination (R2-value), root mean square errors (RMSE), mean absolute errors (MAE) and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were used to test the performance of the proposed ANFIS model. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for the overall data set of the model was 5.15%. The highest R2-value in the modelling was around 0.9742, which suggests that the ANFIS is an efficient model for predicting Kansai International Airport’s domestic passenger demand.

Title: Digital Pedagogy: A 21ST Century Approach of School Education
Abstract :

Now a days the changing paradigm of the teaching learning process demands technology oriented learning environment. We live in the arena of digital environment i.e., digital content, digital reference materials, digitalized instruction system and digital courses which are very popular in latest scenario of the world. Technology not only makes interesting our learning environment but also reduces stress from the mind of the children. Use of technology also helps them to remember the content or topic for a long time. Now, technology should be infused into the pedagogy. Content should be taught through technology oriented pedagogy. Digital pedagogy enhances practical skills and competencies of ICT world. If we design it effectively it has many advantages. But its design is cost effective, laborious and intelligent enough. Its most effective side is that if we can design it effectively it creates most attractive and positive learning environment. But frustrating enough our secondary schools is far behind of this new approach. Teachers are less acquainted about the use of technology in the classrooms. They fail to create the attractive digital learning environment on some of the contents. The paper tries to focus the design, formation and function of digital pedagogy on the recent teaching learning contents. It also mentioned the advantages and concerning factors of digital pedagogy.

Title: Management of Higher Education Institutions: The Impact of ICT Based Good Governance, Entrepreneurship, and Quality Assurance on the Operation of Academic Institutions
Abstract :

While most universities and HEIs work to provide an education system based on developing quality and education standards, and improving performance and skills indicators in all their faculties, some universities work to bypass these indicators for several reasons, the most important of which are saving time, money, and effort. The fact that these educational institutions neglect the development of their quality system leads to a decline in the level of their work, a decline in the level of students, and the neglect of faculty members to develop themselves, which leads in general to a decline in the level of their educational process, which will push the university itself to pay additional large sums of money to improve and develop their educational process in a way that leads to them spending twice as much time, losing very valuable time to them, and losing their academic reputation. This research paper provides a summary and a guide for these educational institutions to direct them in a way that contributes to developing the quality system and improving their performance in a way that saves time, money, and effort.

Title: Transformational Leadership and Innovative Work Behaviour Among Private Sector Companies in Turkey
Abstract :

A leader’s work is difficult because he or she must deal with a diverse spectrum of staff members, all of whom have various personalities. This needs the capacity of leaders to think outside the box in order to overcome these difficulties. To perform his administrative tasks more effectively and efficiently, he needs management and leadership qualities. The leadership of the supervisor is a vital aspect of his or her personality to deal with on a daily basis. Transformational leadership is a relatively recent approach to leadership in the business setting that focuses on the development of subordinates rather than the development of leaders themselves. According to research, transformative leadership is connected to the development of IWB. This research is looking to discover whether there is a relationship between transformative leadership approaches and IWB in private companies in Turkey and what are the barriers in adopting the two. Because of the scarcity of prior research in this topic at private companies in Turkey, this location was selected for the study. The study’s goal was to look at the TLS and IWB of private companies in Turkey. To achieve these goals, data was collected via an interview. The stratified random sampling approach was utilized. A total of 200 supervisors and subordinates from around Turkey took part in the survey, the study’s results imply that leaders employ IWBs to assist subordinates more effectively. According to the research, TLS and IWB seem to have a significant relationship. The working culture at the researcher’s private companies in Turkey does not encourage people who strive to take the initiative or operate in a different way than the rest of the personnel.

Title: Interlingual Morpho-Syntactic L1-Interference and L2-Syntax Errors: Experiences, Observations and Deductions
Abstract :
In order to determine interlingual morpho-syntactic L1-interference among 9 adult German native speaking subjects who attempted to learn the English language, long-term classes of an average timespan of 18 months were observed and tracked in regard of their most common errors in L2- syntax. During that period, it became obvious, that a majority of syntax errors occured due to interference with familiar structures of the subjects’ L1, which they had falsely mapped onto L2-structures. This paper describes the methodology of assessments of the most error-prone syntax structures in the featured pair of languages, the quality of subjectively-felt difficulties in syntactic switching as well as the specific associated fields of morpho- syntactic interference. Furthermore, it opens a follow-up discussion about whether root-similarities between L1 and L2 in general, in spite of their numerous advantages for learners, can also have negative impact on L2- acquisition in terms of syntax-errors due to the likelihood of ill-fitting mapping-attempts which might be brought forth by the faulty preassumption of identicalness, built upon the various similarities among L1 and L2.

Title: Visualizing Cognitive Load Dynamics: A Theory on Interplay of Cognitive Factors in Second Language Acquisition
Abstract :
This research paper explores the impact of cognitive load on second language acquisition, focusing on the differences between traditional grammar-focused teaching methods and a Cognitive Load Reduction Curriculum (CLRC) approach. In our study, we have chosen to include logical equations as a means to clearly demonstrate the complex interplay between various cognitive factors in SLA. The primary goal of this inclusion is to offer a visual representation of the different relationships between the attributes and factors involved in language acquisition, with a particular focus on cognitive load. By providing equations and their according graphs, we aim to make our assumptions transparent and comprehensible, allowing readers to better grasp our reasoning behind the relationships we propose. Those are based upon findings from existing research and equally our experiences in numerous controlled settings, ultimately leading to according derivations. Our findings suggest that CLRC is more effective in managing cognitive load, resulting in increased student confidence and improved language learning outcomes. Furthermore, we discuss the practical implications of our findings for educational facilities and offer some suggestions for future research.

Title: Impact of Student Teacher Time on Student Engagement
Abstract :
There is so much innovation in pedagogy around us - but what is often overlooked is one major key element i.e. student’s engagement. Lack of motivation where students often struggle with staying motivated and engaged in their studies. This coupled with the distractions of today’s digital age, students are constantly bombarded with distractions from their phones, social media, and other technologies. This can make it difficult for them to focus on their studies and stay engaged in the classroom. What if there is a tool / model that engages students to be motivated and take ownership of their learning. This research is about one such tool/method i.e. STT - Student teacher time. This of course is part of the bigger area of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) which has gained considerable attention in recent years as a key aspect of a well-rounded education.

Title: The Socio-economy of Surveillance Capitalism in the Context of User Cognition and Psychology
Abstract :
This paper contains a critical reflection of Surveillance Capitalism and its practices, especially in the context of AI-algorithms from the perspective of cognitive and behavioral science. While it focuses on younger generations, specifically those, who grew up with modern technological devices and high social media exposition, the effects of the latter prove to be dramatic — in terms of critical thinking and questioning, bias, misinformation and mental health. This modern form of the implementation of ultra-strong algorithms is a well-documented opportunity for big data companies to earn unimaginable amounts of money, but the socioeconomic effects on different societal groups are all but positive. While a lower general user intelligence (GI) suggests a higher risk of negative individual impact, it will make sense to differentiate a number of key aspects in the investigation, such as societal vs. individual effects, GI, exposition amount and bubble phenomena, as well as different social networks.
