Status Of Decent Work In The Urban Informal Sector Of Punjab

2024-04-10T07:13:27+00:00

Without rural-urban migration of labour, no country can reach the heights of development. However, with urbanization comes the informalization of the labour force as the formal sector fails to give employment to all the labour coming to urban areas in search of employment. The informal sector is crippled with so many problems like low job security, low employment security, low-income security, low representation security, and low basic security. So, in the present scenario, it becomes very difficult to achieve the objective of “Decent Work for all” as suggested by the International Labour Organization for almost all the nations and India is no exception.

Sustainable Cultivation: Decoding Smallholders' Beliefs And Intentions Towards Sustainable Certification Scheme

2024-04-29T13:15:20+00:00

In 2018, the European Union parliament unanimously voted to prohibit and oppose the importation of palm oil for the purpose of producing bio-oil in 2020. As a result, in 2013, the Malaysian government introduced Sustainable Palm Oil Certification Scheme, also known as the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certificate. This certificate was established with the purpose of assisting actors in the oil palm business, particularly smallholders, in adhering to the laid out requirements for sustainable oil palm farming, thus ensuring a more sustainable cultivation. Originally, MSPO was an optional certification, but in 2017, the MSPO were mandatory by the end of 2019, in accordance with the criteria for sustainable agricultural practices. This mandate applies to small-scale oil palm farmers. Objectives of this study are 1)To assess the preparedness of small-scale farmers to embrace and adhere to the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) standards 2) To understand factors that influence individuals' intended actions with regards to the implementation of MSPO. This study conducted semi-structured surveys to smallholders who own or cultivate oil palm plantations that do not exceed 40.46 hectares or 100 acres. A total of 304 small holders were picked using a random sampling procedure. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis (mixed method) are conducted. Data were collected from both questionnaires and in-depth interviews. This study indicate that small-scale oil palm growers in Johor are not ready in adhering to the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification. The reason for this is the lack of comprehension, awareness, and exposure of the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) standards among small-scale oil palm growers in Johor. Nevertheless, the impact of apprehensive and uninformed peers partially impedes their aspirations. Thus, it can be asserted that oil palm smallholder farmers in Johor possess the necessary readiness in terms of their attitudes, but they require additional instruction to adhere to the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) standards.

The Ontological Characteristics And Construction Mechanism Of Low-Carbon Art In Chinese Kung Fu Films

2024-04-13T12:57:24+00:00

The essence of beauty resides in the liberation of emotions. In comparison to natural objects, artistic objects have a greater propensity to evoke intense and unrestrained emotions in aesthetic subjects. Researchers have categorized these emotions into three types based on their quality and quantity: enlightening free emotion, sensory free emotion, and immersive free emotion. Low-carbon art refers to an artistic text that incorporates objective truth as its defining characteristic in textual composition, while also incorporating intuitive truth, surrealistic truth, or subjective truth as its fundamental condition. Through interaction with aesthetic subjects, low-carbon art stimulates enlightening free emotion and promotes both physical and mental well-being for the individuals involved. Objective truth serves as the necessary and sufficient condition for creating a low-carbon artistic text. There are two primary approaches to achieving objective reality within a low-carbon art text: one is grounded in intuitive reality or surrealistic reality; the second is rooted in subjective truth.

Public Expenditure And Its Impact On Some Macroeconomic Variables In Iraq - A Standard Study For The Period (2004-2022)

2024-04-15T07:11:44+00:00

The research aims at the impact of public expenditures on certain macroeconomic variables in Iraq for the period 2004-2022, by building a standard model showing the impact of public expenditures on certain macroeconomic variables in Iraq for the period 2004-2022.

One of the main findings of the research is that public expenditures are among the most important and effective instruments of fiscal policy in achieving economic growth, especially investment expenditures. Public expenditures have fluctuated considerably during the period of research and investment expenditures have not received the intended percentage. As well as remaining high unemployment, especially disguised unemployment, and thus the low role of public expenditures in addressing structural imbalances in the Iraqi economy and hence the desired economic instability. This is what the research hypothesis has been, and in case public expenditures are squeezed, as was the impact of the global financial crisis in 2009. As well as the twin crises of 2014, 2020), the trade-off between current and investment expenditures usually goes to sacrifice investment expenditures at the expense of current expenditures. The latter relates to wages and salaries, a paragraph that is difficult to prejudice. Therefore, investment expenditures are often sacrificed, through which some of the Government's programmers can be abandoned impacts on members of society are indirect and intangible, other than the reduction of current expenditures directly affecting individuals, which is usually avoided by Governments, However, it was easier in cases of popularity, revenue growth and the resulting escalation of expenditures, in such cases the increase included general expenditures (Consumption and investment), as well as slower growth of public revenues and unmatched growth of public expenditures, as a result of the heavy reliance on oil revenues, which account for more than one percentage (95%) of the total public revenues, due to the volatility of its prices in the global markets and the reflection of those fluctuations on the public revenues positively and negatively, and then intuitively the impact of those revenues on the amount of the general budget, This raises concerns about the future of Iraq's economy unless the Government makes urgent and politically and economically effective decisions, and the general budget has suffered a continuing deficit in a number of years. The deficit is due to the expansionist approach of the Convention's policy in the Iraqi economy, the volatility of revenue growth and its incompatibility with public expenditures. The instability of Iraq's political reality, coupled with the decline in oil prices, Due to the decline in global demand, which coincided with the coronavirus pandemic, creating a deficit in the public budget and an economic crisis that may continue and worsen and will be the biggest losing citizen. The coronavirus pandemic and its repercussions on the Iraqi government, especially the oil sector, and its subsequent economic and financial impacts are the stop of reviewing economic reality and changing fiscal policies during the previous period. The Iraqi economy has the potential to be exploited in order to improve Iraq's economy and confront deficits and financial risks.

The study recommended: the need to diversify public revenue sources and not rely on a single source of oil, that is, to create more than one source of public revenue financing by adopting innovative financing methods. In order to avoid the associated effects on fluctuations in oil prices, as well as the need to rationalize public expenditures and avoid waste of expenditures by activating the role of financial control, fighting financial corruption and eliminating unnecessary expenditures, as well as the need to restructure public expenditures and adopt policies that prioritize the expansion of investment spending and reduce current expenditures (Consumer) for its important role in expanding the productive capacities of the Iraqi economy and addressing the problems of the Iraqi economy, particularly unemployment, and the need to support non-oil productive sectors (Industrial and agricultural) through optimal use of resources, which contribute to the provision of goods and services in order to enhance the local economy's ability to cope with volatility and external crises. As well as operating available labor force components, thus achieving economic stability, as well as working to alleviate the general budget deficit by pursuing a comprehensive reform policy in accordance with a comprehensive and integrated plan or programmer to rebuild Iraq's economy. Reduce financial and administrative corruption and the public sector's engagement with the private sector in the preparation of short- and long-term plans and programmers to eliminate unemployment in Iraq because of its negative effects on social and security realities by increasing investment in core projects that result in reduced unemployment rates and the further development and rehabilitation of human capital, as well as its active contribution to the development and growth of the economy.

Hyderabad In Transition: (1948-1956)– A Case Study Of Social Reconfiguration Of The Asaf Jah Nobility

2024-04-24T05:33:09+00:00

The 19^th century State of Hyderabad was a melting pot of cultures and people of different hues. The state had adopted a policy of absorbing talent from across the vast realms of the country in its bid to strengthen and enrich its administration and promote growth of the state. This influx of people led to the shaping of a composite culture. This culture was an inclusive culture of many layers and proportions. Academicians, military personnel, administrators, physicians, legal professionals etc. from different parts of the country made Hyderabad their home. Scholars’ familiar with this position of the state, attribute this influx to the creation of a later period phenomenon known as the Mulki agitation. The intervening years of 1948-1956 in the history of Hyderabad, was witness to major structural changes in the socio-cultural and economic hierarchy of the state. Aspects which defined Hyderabad’s identity in terms of its composite culture, aristocracy and feudal character were put to test during this period. This paper attempts to revisit and understand the nature of reconfiguration of this social structure especially among the nobility, and through case studies of three very prominent aristocratic families of deccan namely, (1) Mohi ud doulas- religious scholar and physician – family which traces its lineage to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiqui (RA), (2) Mohd. Fazaullah Siddiqui- Chief Justice of Hyderabad High court and (3) Ghulam Ghouse Khan- governor-Aurangabad (then part of Nizams territory) beknown their identity, contribution and subsequent loss of the same during the transitioning years in the state of Hyderabad.

With suitable material, students and teachers can more easily bridge this cultural gap, namely the existence of intercultural teaching materials for drama subjects that are reliable, practical, effective and support the completeness of educator administration in teaching.

Socio-Linguistic Perspectives In Modern Literary Texts: A Case Study Of Language Variation And Identity Politics

2024-04-24T12:38:49+00:00

Objective: Employing the examination of linguistic diversity in recent literary works, my paper will focus on identity politics and social commentary. Through the study of a few chosen case studies from different books of modern times, we look into the linguistic employment of dialect, slang, code-switching, and other techniques to explore how authors do this to identify their characters and also to understand the silent power that lies in race, gender, class and other ways of marginalisation.

Methods: The close reading approach of the study is applied to demonstrate language variations of dialogue, narration and other story elements across five recent highly-favored novels using different characters' perspectives. Spelling that is not consistent with standard English is recorded and the patterns are articulated across characters in each marginalized group. Discourse examination deals with the issue of the language style in different registers which are regarded as the reflection of the varied social positions and identities in the worlds described by different authors.

Results: Characters belonging to minority ethnic and class origins are frequently marked by using non-standard language, slang, and language switching more common than privileged characters. Authors purposefully use different language to portray noble and slave ranks of the civil society and the type of problems encountered by the people on lower levels of social hierarchy. Languages are then represented by certain dialects which are a symbol of these marginalised identities. On the other hand, some characters utilise the same manipulation of language to stand up against unrestricted social structures and norms.

Conclusion: For creators to utilise a non-mainstream choice of linguistic forms provides an opportunity for commenting on real sociolinguistic differences that are stereotypically associated with African Americans, women, and poor people. Markedly, present-day authors deliberately alter the vocabulary in specific ways to form the characters and kind of connection they have which is born out of the social structure. Linguistic choices either grant a sense of marginalisation or of empowered resistance is another point

Granger Causality between FII Transactions and IPO Indices in India

2024-04-25T11:35:23+00:00

This study investigates the Granger causality relationship between Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) transactions and Initial Public Offering (IPO) indices within the context of India's financial market. The study uses monthly FII transactions data for all India for the 12-year period from April 2011 to March 2023. The corresponding period IPO index data for S&P BSE IPO and S&P BSE SME IPO were obtained from the BSE website. Granger causality was used to examine the impact of FII transactions on the IPO index for different monthly lags. Stationarity has been derived for the chosen data, without which, it may lead to spurious regression results. All the data has been transformed to log form, to create the common base. FMOLS (fully modified ordinary least square) technique has been used for regressing the IPO index performance from FII transaction, which is free from serial correlation & Auto regression. The results of the study suggest that there is a unidirectional Granger causality from FII transactions to the BSE IPO Index and the SME IPO Index. This means that FII transactions can help to predict the future performance of the IPO indices. However, the R-squared values are relatively low, suggesting that there are other factors that also influence the indices. Some of these factors could include the macroeconomic environment, such as interest rates or inflation, or the performance of the broader stock market

An Advance Dtc-Svm Scheme For Speed Control Of Vsi Fed Induction Motor Using Fuzzy Logic Controller

2024-04-25T14:03:21+00:00

This paper presents an advanced Direct Torque Control-Space Vector Modulation (DTC-SVM) scheme enhanced with a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for precise speed control of Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) fed Induction Motors (IM). The proposed system combines the benefits of DTC's rapid torque response and SVM's improved voltage waveform quality, optimizing the performance of induction motors in various applications. In the conventional DTC-SVM approach, a fixed switching frequency is used, which can result in higher losses and harmonics. To address this limitation, our method employs FLC to adaptively adjust the switching frequency and voltage vectors based on real-time motor operating conditions. This adaptive control strategy enhances the motor's efficiency and minimizes harmonic distortions, leading to improved overall system performance. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is evaluated through extensive simulations and experimental tests under varying load conditions. The results demonstrate superior speed control precision, reduced torque and flux ripples, and enhanced dynamic response compared to traditional DTC-SVM methods. Furthermore, the adaptive switching frequency ensures energy efficiency, reducing power losses and enabling smoother operation of the induction motor. In summary, the integration of Fuzzy Logic Control into the DTC-SVM scheme offers a robust and versatile solution for speed control of VSI-fed induction motors. This advanced control strategy can significantly benefit various industrial applications where precise speed control and energy efficiency are paramount.

Rather, she is his partner and a companion of advice with him in solving his problems and making important decisions related to his work and family, so her job is She is not limited to satisfying his physical needs, but rather she is the best support for him in providing advice and counseling. In this way, the woman proves her effective role as a loving, advising wife, who lives with her husband’s concerns and shares advice with him in resolving them.

There is no clearer evidence of this than these two positions of the Mothers of the Believers in their support of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and standing by his side as reinforcers and motivators in the dilemmas he faced, so they were the best guide and support.

Through the above, we will try, in a kind of analytical and deconstructive approach, to understand the merits of the topic through criticism and analysis to study its various aspects and investigate the most prominent issues raised by this important and controversial topic at the same time.

Additionally, the volatility spillover index provides information on the strength and direction of interdependence by measuring the directional spillovers and net spillovers. Second, COVID-19 outbreak has increased the volatility spillover index in KOSDAQ and KOSPI markets, with mid-cap companies in KOSDAQ market and the large-cap companies in KOSPI market showing the most significant increase in spillover effects due to higher levels of TO spillover. Third, the net spillover effects of small-sized companies in both markets have decreased. Rolling sample analysis using a 52-week window size confirms these results and shows that the volatility spillover index remained high throughout 2020 and early 2021, indicating that COVID-19 outbreak increased the effect of volatility spillover between markets. Finally, after analyzing the 52-week sample moving average, it was found that KOSPI small-cap, KOSDAQ mid-cap, and KOSDAQ small-cap index had a positive (+) net spillover effect, while KOSPI and KOSDAQ the large-cap indices had a negative (-) net spillover effect. The result is consistent regardless of time, except for KOSPI mid-cap index. Net spillover effect, which shows significant changes in KOSPI market during and after the COVID-19 period.

2024-04-04T07:18:56+00:00

This research highlights the challenges that students faced when using different modes to participate in online classes. Encouraging the expansion of private educational institutions is seen as a way to promote competition throughout the entire higher education sector. This, in turn, is expected to result in a wider range of options, offering more innovative and higher quality products and services, all at a reduced cost(Boliver, 2023). The goals of this study were primarily centred on three characteristics of the learners: their personal, academic, and technical challenges. Because it depends on offline modes of instruction, this work has a research gap. Since the COVID era(Pareek & Soni, 2020), there have been very few studies on online instruction, and it is difficult to gauge how successful virtual education is and how well students are responding to it. While taking courses online using a mobile device or a computer, learners are wary of technological development and their frequent upgrades because of various groups like dropout students, working people, elderly people, and homemakers. In order to gather information from the 623 respondents who are enrolled in online education programmes, the researcher prepared a well-structured questionnaire. The SYSTAT software(Wilkinson, 1990) was used to utilise univariate and multivariate normality, and JAMOVI(Şahin & Aybek, 2019) was used for SEM(D. A. Jalaludeen, 2022). In order to analyse the data, we also formulated 4 null hypotheses (H0), of which 3 were disproved. The study's findings indicate that the majority of comments concern how taking online courses through ODL helps me advance professionally or pursue higher education. The analysis led the researcher to the final conclusion that, of the three attributes, personal problems had the greatest impact on how the online courses were run. The institution will expand and be able to strengthen its position if it adopts or incorporates all of the researcher's recommendations.

Difficulties During Translation From Arabic To Azerbaijani

2024-04-06T10:52:36+00:00

Throughout the course of human history, societies have utilized translation as a means of communication for various purposes such as scientific, cultural, literary and diplomatic exchanges. This involves the transfer of knowledge and resources from one society or language to another, allowing for effective interaction and understanding between different cultures and languages. Translation is a process that involves certain guidelines and techniques, but it is also fraught with challenges. This study delves into the various obstacles that translators face in their line of work.

In our research, we focus on addressing the issue of reading difficulty, which is caused by a structural problem. It is widely known that the Arabic language has very limited use of gestures, which makes it challenging to read consonants and hinders accurate interpretation and translation. This lack of gestural cues poses a significant obstacle to achieving correct meaning and conveying information effectively. Grammatical challenges can cause problems in the translation process. (Tanrıkulu 2016) Even individuals with a strong understanding of grammar may face obstacles. One solution to overcome these difficulties is by applying the rules of Arabic I'rab in practical situations and with ample exposure to written texts. The difficulties are further elaborated through the use of sample sentences and texts, and recommendations for successfully translating such sentences are provided. (Aydın, F 2006)

The study showed a four-factor solution in PCA with 62.25 percent cumulative variance accounted for by four factors, with satisfactory internal consistency providing empirical evidence of convergent validity through the average variance extracted. Furthermore, a confirmatory factor analysis using maximum likelihood estimation supported the four-factor model, showing significant fit to the data and satisfactory additional fit indices.. This scale is established to be psychometrically suitable for use in the Indian context and shows acceptable psychometric properties to use the tool for Indian Students. This scale is suitable for young adults and would provide valuable information about their well-being.

An Empirical Study on Influence of Grey Market Premium and listing gains on Investment in Initial Public Offering

2024-04-07T19:16:03+00:00

Grey market trading always involves short-selling as securities are not yet available. Since legal and institutional environment is less developed in emerging markets, the functioning of grey markets is of interest to policy makers and financial economists. Second, retail investors participate to a greater extent in IPOs of emerging markets, ostensibly due to the relative paucity of institutional investors.

Since prior research has shown that retail investors are more prone to overreaction, it is useful to examine if grey market prices proxy for investor sentiment. Finally, if grey markets are associated with price distortion in initial trading prices, then investors can potentially exploit this by using trading strategies. Our empirical results show that grey market prices are predictable and that these prices are associated with initial listing returns. Furthermore, selling at grey market prices and subsequent short-covering is shown to be profitable.

Demand for Initial Public Offering (IPO) has been very high in the Indian market in 2021-2022. Here retail investors have shown their great interest; the quota of retail investors is first oversubscribed on the very first day of an IPO. In this article, we will know what an IPO in the primary market is. When a new issue comes onto the market, so what is the problem in front of him? We are also a descriptive study of will, the grey market.

What is premium and whether the listing price of IPO is known correctly from GMP or not? In this, we will study all the IPOs that have come from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022. From our research paper, it will be helpful to know whether listing can be gained by looking at the grey market. Does the price of the grey market affect the listing price of the IPO?

Loanwords In The Valley Of Presheva

2024-04-08T07:59:17+00:00

For various reasons, loanwords usually become part of the informal language. This can be seen in the case of the Albanian language due to long invasions, proximity, or neighborhood with the Balkans people, which has led to the use of borrowed words from different languages even today.

It is commonly thought and said that the main carriers of loanwords or the causes of linguistic interference are bilinguals. In addition, there are many other social and linguistic factors that influence these cases. The language does not accept any foreign element. There are rare cases where foreign elements that are layered into the receiving language as opposed to those that accept to be introduced into that language. However, over time, those elements can be accumulated slowly and one day they can overwhelm a receiving language (Nuhiu, 1990, p.9).

The research is based on a certain corpus of recorded narratives from one hundred interviewees in the regions of Eastern Kosovo in Bujanoc and Preševo from two Albanian-speaking countries. This is through the descriptive approach, in order to identify and describe, on the one hand, the linguistic variables that characterize the linguistic variety of that area. Thus, in a mutual way, the degree of linguistic influence of one variation on the other is also investigated, while certain linguistic elements, according to the statistical approach, are also investigated in terms of the density of their use. The research results of this quantitative study derived on the basis of statistical data as well as their interpretation, lead us to the answers to the issues that are of interest to us.

Secularism And The Crisis Of Arab Mind, Fouad Zakariyya As A Sample

2024-04-14T12:36:15+00:00

The research seeks to study secularism as one of the most important concepts and the most controversial and circulated in contemporary Arab thought, which has been linked to the philosophical dimension and the denial of the unseen in all its theological and metaphysical forms, which led to its adoption at times and to its absolute rejection in many cases. Rejection of Western thought and its concepts, sticking to the principles and foundations of (religion) under the pretext of preserving the Arab identity and the heritage of the ancestors, secularism, in light of the extremist fundamentalist discourse, was accompanied by disbelief, atheism, and alienation from society, and with what Arabs and Muslims suffered from sectarian and sectarian fighting and entrenchment, in addition to backwardness and successive defeats in the face of the material and scientific prosperity witnessed by Western civilization, the question became urgent: Do we reject secularism because it is a Western commodity? Or do we remain on the past and the legacy of the predecessors?

In order to answer such questions, we find it necessary to review the theses of Fouad Zakaria and his criticisms of the Islamic discourse in order to reach satisfactory answers.

Maternal health care services are the leading health programmes. According to WHO maternal and child health services can be defined as “Promoting, preventing, therapeutic or rehabilitation facility or care for the mother and child”. Maternal health care is typically patterned on socioeconomic and cultural contours. In the present study we observe that now a days people are going for health check-ups whether they were illiterate or educated but the ratio of going for regular check-ups for antenatal visits were totally depends on their socio-economic status as shown in this study. The study is located in Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh, in which it contains three blocks of namely Keshwapur, Majhilapur, and Sarai Inayat. It captures the antenatal care services and their utilisation. Besides constructing a socio-economic narrative of the study I also have shown the effect of education in there antenatal visit, most of the respondents were going for their check-ups. Almost 80% of the women visits for ANC. Total thirty samples were carried out and stratified random sampling were done to select respondents from each block. In this study we had come to know that people are aware of further health complications in pregnancy so they visit to nearest primary health care centre and almost 73% women receive the antenatal services at least once during their pregnancy. The result reveals that altogether 53 % women got married at the age before 15 to 20 years. The majority were got married before they become mature or before 18 years old. Early marriage is the biggest reasons for the maternal deaths in India. The present study arrives at argument that Antenatal care are provided by the government in free of cost but the people are not aware of Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY). It could be summarised in the following words that the factor responsible for utilisation of antenatal services among the people is based on their socio-economic status

Identification Of Institutional Actors In Cocoa Agribusiness Planning And Sustainability: Evidence From Bantaeng, Indonesia

2024-04-19T05:17:31+00:00

Agricultural development and its sustainability is influenced not only by technical farming issues, but also by agricultural institutional issues that have not been well planned. Strengthening and good coordination between institutions are needed to support the success of a program. Improving farmers' knowledge and skills has been done through various methods such as field schools, farmer courses, counseling, and so on. However, farmers' awareness in adopting agricultural information and innovations is still minimal. In addition, the lack of supervision in every implementation of government programs is also mentioned as a cause of the lack of technology transfer to farmers. Processes that involve institutions, both in the form of organizational institutions and institutional norms and arrangements, are generally still centered on a certain scale of development process. There are indications that there are institutions that should play a role, but do not play a significant role, as well as weak management and coordination functions, which are the main focus of this research. This study identifies and analyzes the institutions that play a role in the planning and sustainability of cocoa agribusiness. This research uses Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) analysis to explain complex structures based on elements and formulate hierarchical levels of relationships between elements. The results show that the institutions that there are three institutions that are key actors in planning and sustainability of cocoa agribusiness namely, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises & Trade, and also the Agricultural Extension Center. This indicates that the planning and sustainability of cocoa agribusiness is determined by the major role played by the three institutions, which are key actors supported by institutions at lower levels such as the Regional Development Planning Agency, Research Institutions/ Universities, Enterprises, Marketing Institutions, Extension Workers, Farmer Groups (‘Gapoktan’), Farmers, Banking Institutions, and Cocoa Organization. Institutions that play a role need to work together to ensure that cocoa agribusiness planning and sustainability are well targeted and coordinated.

Corporate Governance And Intellectual Capital's Impact On Companies' Financial Performance

2024-04-20T11:45:34+00:00

This study's main goal was to investigate the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance. Particular attention was paid to the principles, concepts, and corporate governance's importance. This approach was deemed suitable and consistent with the prevention and treatment of the recent financial crises that occurred in East Asia, Russia, and the United States. These crises resulted in the insolvency of numerous prominent international institutions and companies, including the present one. The aforementioned crises can be attributed to the errors committed by the Board of Directors, a perceived deficiency in transparency and disclosure, and the disregard of corporate officials for their accountability and the obligation to ensure and safeguard the rights of others. These reasons were addressed in the governance charters issued by countries and companies to fill the previous gaps, as this brings benefits and interest to companies, stakeholders, and the economy in general. Therefore, it can be asserted that the implementation of these logical principles furnishes a solid foundation for attaining equity, fostering a sense of accountability among organisation members, and ultimately enhancing financial performance through the formulation of effective decisions that benefit all parties involved.

The current study also investigated the relationships between the organisation's financial performance and its intellectual capital. Intellectual capital was the subject of the inquiry, encompassing its constituent parts (Customer Capital (CC), Human Capital (HC), and Structural Capital (SC)), in addition to its importance, assessment approaches, and impact on the organisation's financial performance. Previous research has not found any significant correlation between intellectual capital effectiveness and an organisation's financial performance. Other contradictory results about the impact of components of intellectual capital on financial performance have been reported in previous studies.

The relationship between governance and intellectual capital has a greater effect on a company's financial performance and value than a sum of the contributions of each component considered separately. Inconsistencies in the findings of accounting studies that concentrate exclusively on intellectual capital or governance provide support for this assertion. The value of a corporation is increased by its improved performance, which is achieved through the combination of its intellectual capital and strong governance systems.

Reversing The Ontology Of Anthropocene Do Semiotics Of Sustainability Advertising Hold The Promise?

2024-04-22T06:22:41+00:00

Oxford Dictionary defines the Anthropocene as the epoch denoting the current geological age when human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. It defines semiotics as the study of signs and symbols and their use or interpretation. In advertising, it refers to the use of a host of audio-visual and verbal cues for invoking awareness, interest and positive action among the target audience / public at large (Johnson, 2012).

The present study, following Benson, problematizes the dominant Anthropocene ontology of considering humans as villains of extinct species, polluted environment and climate change (Benson, 2019). It proceeds from the premise that there is an opportunity to redefine the relationship between humans and the natural world and thus evolve an alternative ontology of humans in rather than to nature. The research question it addresses is if the semiotics of sustainability advertising hold the promise of developing the alternative, pro planet ontology of the anthropocene.

The study explores the emergent strands of communicating sustainability through the semiotic analysis of select advertising campaigns. It draws on Pierce’s triadic system of symbolic interpretation that comprises the representamen, the object and the interpretant (Kadim & Abbas, 2022). For example, a drop is a representamen that signifies the liquid fossil fuel and may thus be interpreted as an indicator of a fast-depleting natural resource. The paper notes that these semiotics - more so when backed by the commitment of purpose- imply the emergence of social and environmental advertising as the mainstay of fostering brand identity as well as stakeholder engagement. In our recent work, we have acknowledged the power of such advertising in influencing people’s perceptions and sustainability behaviours (Saxena et al., 2023) and the use of such advertisements as teaching and learning objects. The paper develops a communication framework for fostering pro-planet cognition, affect and behaviours.

The Influence Of Communication Satisfaction On The Morality Of Vietnamese Secondary School Students

Image segmentation serves as a focal point of exploration for numerous researchers in the field of computer vision. Image segmentation means partitioning an image in segments and assigns a label to every segment. The main idea behind image segmentation is to make image simpler for further processing. This chapter presents various image segmentation algorithms for desktop and mobile devices. With its numerous application in medical field such as tumor detection, color blindness, kidney diseases, it is found, the evaluation parameters are varying with application domain. But, Segmentation processing time is one of the major evaluation parameter in image segmentation. On contrary, image segmentation ingredients i.e., texture, color, pixel intensity, histogram and threshold values etc. are important in image segmentation. After studying the literature, this study is more helpful for improving the existing segmentation algorithm or developing a new segmentation algorithm.

Ethical Principles Of Yoga Philosophy In University Students: Construction And Validation Of Niyama (Personal Discipline) Questionnaire

2024-04-23T15:19:16+00:00

Yoga is mostly recognized in modern times for its Asanas (Postures) and Pranayama (Breathing exercises), while it has a rich philosophical and spiritual foundation that is often overlooked. Particularly Yoga's ethical principles, the Yamas and Niyamas are of great relevance for students and Yoga practitioners. Niyamas are the second limb of the eightfold path of Yoga, as outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. These principles guide individuals in developing personal ethics and attitudes toward themselves. The importance of Yogic Niyama lies in their ability to foster inner harmony, spiritual growth, and a balanced, purposeful life. Ashtanga yoga emphasizes the need of Yama or social discipline and Niyama (personal discipline) in building a peaceful, harmonious, and pleasant social environment. We thus intended to develop and validate a questionnaire that operationalizes the Niyamas and performed a cross-sectional survey among 140 students of age ranging from 18 to 30 years from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi and Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Varanasi affiliated to Sampurnanand Sanskrit University. Principal component analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of 15-item Yama Questionnaire pointed to 5 factors with good internal consistencies (Cronbach’s α). Internal reliability and construct validity of the responses were examined, as well as confirmatory factor analysis to examine the scale's factor structure. The reliability of this questionnaire is established based on Cronbach’s alpha coefficient value of 0.82 for entire questionnaire that calculated 0.60-0.80 for the five factors. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated that items loaded on the relevant factors in a five-factor model. A confirmatory factor analysis and variance analysis were carried out using AMOS 22 and SPSS version 20 to examine the model fit and establish internal consistency. The CFA showed good model fit indices (CMIN (Chi- Square/df)= 1.888, GFI =0.910, CFI=0.927, TLI= 0.902, RMSEA=0.070, SRMR=0.074). Thus, the Niyama Questionnaire (NiQ) seems to be suited for University Students and could be a useful measure in future studies which intend to analyse the social and life style related attitudes and behaviours of students. It can be assumed that the ethical principles are important contributors for lifestyle and behaviours changes. The Niyama Questionnaire (NiQ) is a valid and internally reliable tool for assessing Niyama status in University Students of age 18 to 30.

Performance Evaluation Of Flat Face Heat Exchanger With FDM Printed Micro-Channel Fin Holders

2024-04-24T07:28:59+00:00

Automobile engine cooling in case of two-wheeler vehicles is conventionally done using air cooling method, however, with the introduction of superbikes and motorcycles with engines larger than 200 cc, it was discovered that an additional approach, water cooling, was required to improve cooling efficacy. Traditional water coolers use a radiator-style setup that takes up a lot of room, volume, and weight. In an attempt to improve the performance of the radiator certain design changes are proposed through application of the FDM printed micro-channel fin holders and in this paper the flat face heat exchanger performance is evaluated. The flat face micro channel heat exchanger is made up of a brass hollow tube that is attached to the heat exchanger's surface and through which the hot water passes. This hollow tube makes touch with bent brass fins housed in an FDM (fused deposition technique printed) holder's micro-channel staggered array of holder slots. The fins are arranged in such a way that the heat exchanger has the most surface area in the least amount of space. The paper aims at comprehensive test and trial on the flat face heat exchangers that have been fabricated and testing has been done to evaluate performance parameters of the heat exchanger. As the temperature gradient grows, the overall heat transfer coefficient rises as a result of lower pressures and higher temperatures.

The Ideal Resort Employee; Perspectives From Maldivian Employers

2024-04-24T12:26:20+00:00

This study explores Maldivian hiring managers’ perceptions in the resort sector, investigating ideal employee attributes. A questionnaire was distributed to 144 decision-makers, examining determinants like gender, nationality, age, knowledge, and skills. Gender was not a primary consideration, but age and nationality subtly influenced preferences for youth and local candidates. Skills played a crucial role in hiring decisions, with locals excelling in specific areas. However, a disconnect between perception and practice was noted, as hiring foreigners prevailed, possibly due to biases about local work ethics. The paper highlights the need to address biases in resort hiring, emphasizing individual suitability and organizational alignment.

The Impact of Extended Studying Time in the Full-Day School Program on Students’ EFL Learning Concentration

2024-04-22T13:37:54+00:00

There has been a long-standing debate about the significance of extending school hours in many parts of the world. In Indonesia, an extended school time up to ten hours a day, the so-called Full-Day School (FDS), has been executed by the government for the last few years. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the program particularly on students’ learning concentration. A survey study with the causal comparative design was adopted for this purpose. The study randomly recruited a 15-percent sample of students from two schools (one FDS and one non-FDS), while four teachers of English working at the FDS voluntarily participated in the study. Data were gathered through questionnaire and interview. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered to student respondents to collect data on their learning concentration. A semi-structured interview with teachers was conducted to elicit data on their perspective on students’ learning concentration in classroom. Result of questionnaire data analysis has shown that the extended school time in FDS program brings no impact on students’ learning concentration, it has diminished students’ learning concentration instead. Teachers’ pros and cons and two-folded views of FDS program and their students’ learning concentration neither support nor oppose the program with its impact. Thus, the implementation of FDS can be considered fruitless and, therefore, not recommended. However, further studies with larger sample and that utilize observations are encouraged to see consistency of this research finding.

Women And Violence In Selected Works Of Manjula Padmanabhan, Poile Sengupta And Kishwar Desai

2024-04-25T12:25:49+00:00

In this paper look at how the works of famous Indian writers Manjula Padmanabhan, Poile Sengupta, and Kishwar Desai show and treat women. Most of their stories are about women and question or challenge traditional gender roles and biases in Indian society. A close study of the plays they picked shows a common theme of women's empowerment and resistance to traditional male limits. "Harvest" by Manjula Padmanabhan is a brave story that criticizes the selling of the human body in a dystopian future. The main character's ability to lead her family and make important decisions shows that Padmanabhan thinks women are strong and tough. Penelope Sengupta's "Inner Laws," on the other hand, is a psychological study of a normal housewife who battles with patriarchal dominance and social norms. The play looks inside a woman's mind and celebrates her strength in the face of tragedy, which shows how much Sengupta wanted to understand and accept the variety of women's mental landscapes.

Is Tax Aggressiveness Affected Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure? A Meta-Analytical Review

2024-04-19T04:59:06+00:00

The aim of this research is to look at the robustness of the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and aggressive tax avoidance activities using a meta-analysis approach. A meta-analysis approach is an approach that operates by using the previous article within a specified period that has the same topic and has the same or different results. Theoretically, the more a company carries out its social responsibilities; it will have an impact on tax activities per the rules. The results showed that the higher the value of corporate social responsibility disclosures, the lower the tax aggressiveness. After synthesizing a total of 29 results from articles published between 2015 and 2019 in Indonesia and Malaysia, we consistently found that companies that practice social responsibility have a significant impact on tax aspects, particularly by reducing the incidence of tax fraud. The research approach chosen is a meta-analysis using only Indonesian and Malaysian samples; the results of the study may not be generalized. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test within a wider research area. This research provides results that reinforce the negative relationship between CSR and tax aggressiveness. This research has provided input into the fields of accounting and taxation by giving confidence in the relationship between aggressive tax behavior and the existence of disclosures of social responsibility.

Effect Of Simplified Kundalini Yoga On Biochemical Indicators In Aged Women: A Random Group Experimental Study

2024-04-22T11:12:59+00:00

The aim of the experimental random group was to determine how certain biochemical indicators among the elder and more hypertensive women were affected by streamlined Kundalini yoga practices. It was hypothesized that the practice of simplified Kundalini Yoga would lead to significant changes in certain biochemical indicators among elderly hypertensive women. To achieve the objectives of the study, thirty participants aged 60 to 70 were selected from Sivakasi by appropriates election techniques. They were divided into two groups: Group I was the experimental group and Group II was the control group. Each group consists of 15participants. Group I received an appropriate planned course of selected, simplified Kundalini yoga practices, whereas Group II served as a control group and did not receive yoga instruction; instead, they were in active rest. After the 12-weekstudy, the two groups were administered a post-test on a subset of dependent variables. To determine whether there were statistical differences between the experimental group and the control group, collected data were statistically evaluated using Covariance Analysis (ANCOVA). The significance test has a predefined confidence level of 0.05. It has been shown that, compared to the control group of hypertensive elderly women, there have been significant changes in some biochemical indicators, i.e. HDL has been significantly increased and LDL has declined dramatically as a result of simplified Kundalini Yoga practices. Therefore, the hypothesis was accepted at a confidence level of 0.05. It has been demonstrated that older women with hypertension benefit from simplified Kundalini Yoga

The Hadiths Mentioning Verses and Chapters from the Qur'an as 'A Cure for Every Disease': Compilation and Study

2024-04-23T04:04:58+00:00

The research aims to collect the marfu' hadiths (attributed directly to the Prophet Muhammad) mentioned in the surahs and verses of the Holy Qur'an that describe it as "a cure for every disease," and then to study and verify their authenticity. The researcher used the inductive method to trace and investigate these hadiths and their chains of narration. Furthermore, a critical approach was applied in their study. The study concluded that:

The general evidence from the Holy Qur'an indicates that the Qur'an itself is a cure, and some hadiths in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim suggest that Al-Fatiha contains healing properties.
All hadiths attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stating that Al-Fatiha is "a cure for every disease" are not authentic.
The hadith mentioning verses from the last part of Surah Al-Hashr as "a cure for every disease" is fabricated.
It appears—as is usual in experiential and medical hadiths—that some of them are based on actual or valid medical experiences tried by individuals, and later, chains of narration were constructed—either intentionally or mistakenly—and attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Others, however, are neither sound in meaning nor correctly attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Insect Killing Using LASER

2024-04-06T08:18:41+00:00

Insects are closely related to human existence and well-being in both senses. Flying insects are frequently used as vectors for the spread of diseases and cause serious harm to people as well as agricultural productivity over most of the world. In old method insects’ detection, counting and killing is performed by sticky traps which are manually done, and these kinds of method are expensive and time consuming. We are working on a low-cost optical sensor that can identify flying insects at a distance using a weak laser beam. Although our concepts might have consequences for tracking beneficial insects, our primary goal is to employ classification methods to deliver precise real-time counts of disease carriers at the species/sex level. Here, we report some initial findings from our study, which involved three different insect species. We talk about how we might scale our methods to classify more species by augmenting the sensor with additional input sources.

National Consciousness In The Poetry Of Jyotiprasad Agarwala And Haribhakta Katuwal

2024-04-25T13:50:57+00:00

Introduction:

Jyotiprasad Agarwala is one of the poets and litterateurs who have taken forward their literary careers with patriotism and national consciousness as the theme in the world of Assamese literature. The spirit of liberation is strongly blown away in the writings of Jyotiprasad Agarwala(1903-1951). The Indian society that he enjoyed was a subjugated society, which was only ruled and exploited by the British government. Therefore, he devoted his entire work to the liberation of Mother Assam and Mother India. If we look at the poems in which his nationalist thoughts are strongly blown out– ‘KanchanjunghaBuranji’, ‘LachitorAahban’, ‘JayamatirAatmarUkti’, ‘Kanaklata’, ‘GanworJiyori’, ‘AxomiyaDekarUkti’, ‘AxomiyaSuwalirUkti’, ‘Na-Jowan-E-Hind’, ‘AxomorNabeenJowanXangkalpa’, ‘BhantiyarorDukh’, ‘JyotiShangkha’, ‘PuhororGobon’, ‘Eta MatuwalBonuwa’, ‘Eta PogolaKhetiyak’, ‘JanatarAahban’, ‘XawodhanXawodhan’, etc.

Just as Jyotiprasad's poetry and compositions in Assamese literature brought national consciousness in the same way, that consciousness can also be seen in the literary works of HaribhaktaKatuwal in his contemporary Nepali literature. Born with a short life expectancy like Jyotiprasad Agarwala, Haribhakta Katuwal (1935-1980) is also known for his nationalist thoughts. A total of his 30 poems and 40 songs have been published. ‘JouJindagiKhouJindagi’ (portry) was published in 1972 and ‘BadnamMera EAakhaharu’ in 1989. Apart from this, ‘Sanjhana’, ‘Bhitti Manse BolloKhojja’ and ‘Xudha’ (narrative poetry) are notable works. Haribhakta Katuwal's poetry created a stir after 1970s. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss how the spirit of nationalism has blossomed in his poetry.

India's journey towards women's empowerment has been marked by legislative and policy interventions aimed at addressing gender disparities and promoting equality. An integral part of this journey has been the establishment of committees and commissions dedicated to tackling the multifaceted challenges faced by women. Post-independence, India's quest for independence was intertwined with the struggle for gender equality and women's rights, as emphasized by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar. The Constitution of India drafted post-independence, enshrined principles of gender equality and provided a framework for affirmative action to uplift women. Despite significant roles played by women throughout history, pervasive discrimination and limited access to resources have been persistent challenges. Various committees and commissions have been formed post-independence to promote women's empowerment. From the Committee on the Status of Women in India in 1974 to the establishment of the National Commission for Women in 1992, these initiatives aimed to address specific challenges faced by women, including legal, social, and economic issues. These committees and commissions have played a crucial role in shaping policies and legislation related to women's rights and empowerment. For instance, the recommendations of the National Commission for Women (NCW) have influenced amendments to laws concerning dowry, domestic violence, and sexual harassment. However, challenges such as limited enforcement mechanisms and bureaucratic hurdles persist, affecting the effectiveness of these initiatives. Continuous efforts are needed to overcome these challenges and ensure the meaningful implementation of their recommendations. In conclusion, committees and commissions have been instrumental in advancing women's empowerment in India. By fostering collaboration and commitment, India can further accelerate progress towards gender equality and women's empowerment.

Tax Declaration Decisions On Social Networks Of Online Retailers: A Case Study In Vietnam

2024-04-12T10:07:31+00:00

In recent years, e-commerce and online retail in Vietnam have experienced significant development. This reality has presented significant challenges for the government's tax management authorities in preventing tax evasion. Inspecting unreported or underreported revenue in online transactions on servers or the internet can be particularly challenging, especially for retail and service operations of online retailers on social networks. In Vietnam, the Tax Management Law of 2019 specifies the tax obligations for online retailers. However, tax collection for retailers on social networks still depends on tax authorities encouraging them to voluntarily declare revenue. Current research and practice indicate that very few social media retailers participate in voluntary revenue declaration for tax purposes. Furthermore, few studies focus on the factors influencing the participation of online retailers in Vietnam in revenue declaration and tax payment, especially for businesses selling on social media, lacking a solid theoretical foundation. This study identified factors influencing the tax declaration decisions of social media retailers in Vietnam. With 563 survey samples of social media retailers in Vietnam, Smart PLS analysis results revealed two variables directly impacting tax declaration decisions including: tax declaration intention and the attitude of social media retailers. Additionally, the study results showed indirect relationships of multiple variables in the model through tax declaration intention on tax declaration decisions. The study also provides recommendations to promote and enhance voluntary revenue declaration and tax payment decisions of social media retailers in Vietnam.

Optimizing Semi-Automatic Semantic Matched Searching Concept

2024-04-13T06:20:28+00:00

The Semantic web presents an opportunity to convey the meanings of web documents in a format understandable by machines. However, the majority of web content remains in a format intended for human consumption, and it's anticipated that creators and developers will continue to prefer this format due to its simplicity. To bridge this gap and realize the vision of the Semantic Web, two main approaches have emerged: annotating information sources with machine-accessible semantics or developing programs to extract semantics from web sources. This proposed research aims to identify documents retrieved from web servers based on knowledge extraction using a Semi-automated semantic matching concept. This matching concept aids users in selecting the appropriate document categorized into factual, procedural, and conceptual based on Bloom's taxonomy. The analysis involves iterating through grammatical rules to apply those relevant and determining if a valid stem is found. The SAS algorithm entails complex grammatical rules, such as removing multiple suffixes and prefixes, which can lead to variations in results. One factor influencing the outcome is whether the algorithm requires the output word to be a real word in the given language. Some approaches don't mandate the word's existence in a lexicon database, while others maintain a database of known word roots that are actual words. Optimization is provided by the SAS algorithm through its efficient memory utilization and swift execution, enhancing overall performance.

Design Of An Iterative Method For Optimizing Agricultural Productivity And Crop Quality Using Graph-Based Q-Learning And Nutrient-Action Frameworks

2024-04-17T08:59:38+00:00

Agricultural sustainability and productivity are paramount for feeding the ever-growing global population under fluctuating environmental conditions & scenarios. Traditional fertilization and crop management strategies often fall short in optimizing nutrient usage and enhancing crop quality due to their generalized nature and inability to adapt to local environmental changes. Current methodologies lack precision in addressing the intricate dependencies between various nutrients and environmental factors affecting crop growth and quality. In response to these limitations, this study introduces a novel approach utilizing graph-based Q-learning, applied in two distinct but complementary domains: Nutrient Level Evaluation and Fertilizer Recommendation, and Crop Quality Prediction and Improvement Scenarios. The core of our methodology lies in the construction of Nutrient-Action and Quality-Action Graphs, where nodes represent the quantifiable levels of soil nutrients or crop quality parameters, and edges symbolize actionable measures such as specific fertilizer applications or farming practices adjustments. Our proposed models leverage the flexibility and learning capability of Q-learning, a form of reinforcement learning, to navigate the constructed graphs efficiently. This enables the algorithm to discern optimal strategies by iteratively learning from the environment and updating policies based on the observed outcomes, thus accommodating the dynamic nature of agricultural systems. The nutrient-action graph model focuses on optimizing the amount of each critical nutrient (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) tailored to the specific crop and soil types, considering environmental factors like temperature and humidity. Simultaneously, the quality-action graph model predicts and improves crop quality by recommending adjustments in farming practices based on historical data, environmental conditions, and existing agricultural practices. The integration of these models into the agricultural decision-making process represents a significant advancement over traditional methods. Preliminary results suggest that our approach could lead to a 10-20% increase in crop yield and quality, outperforming conventional fertilization techniques. Furthermore, our crop quality improvement strategies, informed by predictive analytics, indicate potential enhancements in crop nutritional content and disease resistance by 5-15%, contingent upon the agricultural context and interventions employed in real-time scenarios. This work impacts the agricultural sector by providing a scalable, data-driven framework for personalized crop management and fertilization strategies. By harnessing the power of Q-learning and graph-based representations, we offer a sophisticated tool for enhancing food security, minimizing environmental impacts, and promoting sustainable farming practices worldwide.

2024-04-04T15:25:32+00:00

Studying the behavior of female consumers has become crucial. Consumers reign as the pivotal force in markets. Kanchipuram Silk boasts a rich historical legacy dating back to the early era of South India under the Pallavas. As a temple city and former capital of various South Indian dynasties, the silk handloom industry has thrived here, supported by royal patronage, elevating weavers to a prominent position in the social hierarchy. Businesses cannot operate without consumers. The rising costs of raw materials, particularly zari, emerge as a significant production hurdle, accompanied by challenges like working capital issues, increased use of counterfeit zari, and low wages. In marketing, the primary concern is the escalating prices of finished goods due to input cost hikes, followed by the influx of silk fabrics containing fake zari, unfair trade practices such as selling non-Kanchipuram products under its brand name, intermediary misconduct, lack of advertising, and the availability of cheaper alternatives. Understanding consumer behavior delves into their purchasing patterns, considering their roles as users, payers, and buyers. People's desires for products and services have dramatically expanded, leading to shifting attitudes and behaviors that can be sensitive to price fluctuations. To establish a study framework, various paradigms of thought that have influenced the discipline of consumer behavior need to be considered.

Implementation Of An Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Powered Financial Decision-Support System For Stock Market Speculators

2024-04-06T10:03:14+00:00

A chaotic, non-stationary, and intricate system, the stock market is always changing. A large number of people find value in this investing platform. The stock market is still a great place to make money, but investors are wary of it because of the inherent uncertainty in the banking sector and a number of other factors.Many several aspects that often pass unnoticed by innocent investors. If you want to succeed in the stock market, you need to be able to focus on the here and now while also giving some thought to how today's events may affect tomorrow. As a result, many investors encounter the possibility of failure every day. The current situation calls for a Decision Support System (DSS) that can determine the optimal time to buy stocks and which stocks to buy based on market trends, financial research, and strategy.To help individual investors make informed stock market purchases and sales, this study proposes the creation of an AI-based decision support system (DSS). To remove the behavioral biases inherent in human decision-making and to provide reasonably accurate long-term stock price predictions, the financial decision-support system must be based on mathematical modeling of the different financial characteristics. In this study, we primarily examined the use of two Machine Learning Models: Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). We discovered that ANNs outperform Linear Regression in terms of accuracy because of their capacity to produce non-linear outputs. Additionally, we discovered that ANNs are better suited for deep learning applications, as they can solve complicated financial regression problems using their multiple hidden layers. Neural networks powered by artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to transform the way people make investing and financial decisions in almost every way.

Improvised Prediction And State Monitoring Of Anaesthesia Level Of Patients Using Deep-Learning Approach

2024-04-25T15:34:52+00:00

The anesthesiologist uses three different types of medicine to control the level of anesthesia during surgery: muscle relaxants, which are often used to suppress muscular reflexes, hypnotics to induce and maintain unconsciousness, and analgesics to block pain. These days, anesthesiologists may use instruments that measure unconsciousness in real time to determine the ideal dosage of hypnosis. These monitors typically use electrodes to attach to the patient's forehead and display a signal derived from the EEG activity of the patient. Based on the value of the signal, the anesthesiologist can assess the patient's state of unconsciousness. The amount of anesthesia provided depends directly on the patient's preoperative physical condition and intraoperative vital signs. It also has to consider the time the patient would need to recover after surgery. In order to safeguard their patients' vital signs during surgery, anesthesiologists must possess specialized knowledge and be quick thinkers, as each patient has distinct intraoperative conditions and symptoms. Thus, the proposed approach provides an effective means of predicting the patient's state of awareness during anesthesia. In this work, Ensemble Machine Learning techniques like SVM and Random Forest together with Deep Learning techniques like CNN and LSTM are used to determine the level of anesthesia and the accuracy found to be 96%.

"Siddhar Science: Nurturing Intellectual Properties for A Meaningful Life"

2024-04-15T06:01:38+00:00

The Siddha system of medicine stands as one of the most ancient and profound medical traditions in India. Rooted in the rich tapestry of Siddhar science and interwoven with Tamil literature, this holistic approach to healing has been passed down through generations. Auvaiyar, a distinguished Tamil poetess from the Sangam period, encapsulated the essence of Siddha wisdom with the verse, "Unbathunaazhi, Udauppathunaangumuzham, Enbathukodininainthennuvana," underscoring the boundless nature of human thoughts amid the limitations of food and attire. At its core, Siddha is synonymous with the extroverts, and those adept at managing and channeling their thoughts are revered as Siddhars. The fundamental principles of Siddha medicine are encapsulated in the concept of 96 Thathuvas. These include the Aimpootham (5 Elements), Aimpori(5 organs of sense), Aimpulan (5 object senses), and the four intellectual faculties known as Anthakaranam (Mind, Intellect, Volition, Egotism), along with Arivu (Wisdom) and Atta Ragam (8 predominant passions).

The 8 Ragams, namely Kamam (Lust), Kurotham (Anger or Hostility), Lobam(Miserliness), Mogam (Infatuation), Matham(Haughtiness), Marchariyam(Jealousy), Idumbai (Mockery), and Agangaram (Egotism), are activated within the Anthakaranam (Intellectual properties). Life, according to Siddha philosophy, is a journey rather than a destination. The 18 Siddhars assert that by mastering the control of these 8 Ragams and Anthakaranam, individuals can attain a life that is not only worthwhile but also peaceful. In essence, Siddha medicine offers a profound pathway to holistic well-being, emphasizing the importance of understanding and harmonizing the internal elements of the mind. By navigating the complexities of human thoughts and emotions, individuals can embark on a fulfilling and meaningful journey, transcending the limitations imposed by external circumstances.

Security Breaches Of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) - A Review

2024-04-16T12:50:14+00:00

Security is an essential part of any network, wired or wireless. Attackers can combine active and passive methods to penetrate otherwise undetectable routing in message and data packets, making any connection between mobile nodes in an unfamiliar environment extremely vulnerable. In this piece, we focus on the most pressing security threats facing mobile ad hoc networks. Due of its lack of protection against malicious actors, MANET can be accessed by anyone. A major MANET objective is the development of a fool proof security system capable of protecting the network against a wide range of routing assaults, even in the presence of malicious nodes. However, these approaches are flawed due to the limited resources of MANETs, such as battery life and network bandwidth. A mobile ad hoc network can operate in isolation from or in tandem with a traditional wired network. The adaptability and self-organization of MANETs are both their greatest strength and their greatest security vulnerability. This book discusses both active and passive routing attacks, such as black holes, spoofing, wormholes, and floods. Passive assaults are also discussed, such as traffic monitoring, traffic analysis, and eavesdropping.

Post-2020, online education has become the most experimented phenomenon with newer forms of pedagogical paradigms emerging consistently claiming better efficacy than the previous one. Mobile learning facilitates flexibility and convenience unlike any other and has made unending possibilities in teaching, assessment and learning. One such attempt is the need to re-engineer the desired content as micro-modules (three to five minutes of video content, shorter nuggets of information to read, quick quizzes and elements of social learning like discussion forums) that can aid learning through mobiles. Microlearning Instructional Design calls for overhauling current e-learning practices considering the specific content and the target learning outcome. To create a purposeful microlearning experience, it is necessary to incorporate a variety of mediums and timeframes of chunked content. Hug’s (2007) three levels of instruction: macro (program level), meso (curriculum level), and micro (bite-sized within a module) posit microlearning as bite-sized information which can be learnt at short bursts and retained by learners through repetition. This paper presents a case of learning conversational skills speaking in English among 60 first-year learners pursuing Electronics and Communication Engineering at Anna University. The instructor’s efforts to integrate microlearning practices in the classroom through appropriate instructional design are documented. Learners’ perceptions are qualitatively analysed to measure the efficacy of microlearning as part of online out-of-classroom learning. By highlighting the big idea using images and texts, learner interest and involvement are enhanced and even granular objectives can be achieved by infusing differentiated instructional techniques. Factoring the heterogeneity of the classroom, the content is re-engineered and segregated into need-to-know and nice-to-know categories which open options to learners who seek additional support.

2024-04-25T08:47:04+00:00

This research aimed to examine whether there are differences in interpersonal trust, impersonal trust, selfish and altruistic life goals, and multicultural awareness between middle school and high school students. Additionally, the study sought to verify whether the influence of interpersonal trust and impersonal trust on multicultural awareness, mediated by selfish and altruistic life goals, differs between middle school and high school students. The research findings are as follows: First, multicultural awareness did not differ between middle school and high school students. However, interpersonal trust, impersonal trust, selfish life goals, and altruistic life goals were higher in middle school students compared to high school students. Second, both middle school and high school students exhibited higher levels of multicultural awareness when they had higher levels of interpersonal trust. In contrast, impersonal trust had no significant impact on multicultural awareness in either group. However, the mediating effects of selfish and altruistic life goals differed between middle school and high school students. For middle school students, selfish life goals had no mediating effects, while altruistic life goals mediated interpersonal trust and multicultural awareness statically. For high school students, selfish life goals were found to mediate interpersonal and impersonal trust with multicultural awareness. Altruistic life goals also statically mediated interpersonal trust and impersonal trust with multicultural awareness. These findings indicate that the relationships between trust, life goals, and multicultural awareness differ between middle school and high school students, highlighting the need for tailored interventions and educational approaches for each group.

Life After Being Raped: Trauma And Its Consequences

2024-04-05T12:25:26+00:00

Most of the people related to literature are certainly aware of T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922). Though the poet used many allusions, one of the allusions, the myth of Philomela, applied in the second section of the poem, “A Game of Chess,” is very important for the present paper. In this myth, Philomela, a figure in Greek mythology, gets raped by her brother-in-law, Tereus, and eventually gets her tongue cut off in order to remain silent about the incident. Sexual violence against women is not new and it repeats itself again and again. Life after being raped is accompanied by trauma, identity crisis, shame, and guilt. This paper wants to examine various impact of trauma on the victims of sexual abuse especially rape. As one person is different from the other, the effect of trauma also differs across people. Life of a raped victim is not easy. It is very difficult to find the whole self, re-establish the self-identity, trust, and control again. The impact of trauma can be positive as well as negative. While some survivors achieve mental strength after recovering from the difficult situation, others may lose interest in life and feel worthless. This paper uses concepts from Feminist Theory and Trauma Theory, to examine the context of sexual violence against women, and the aftermath of violence especially how trauma affects the victims.

Breaking The Shadowy World Of Courtesans: Women, Myth, Music In Kavita Kane’s Menaka’s Choice

2024-04-08T14:28:03+00:00

Mythologies are primarily male-centered stories representing, upholding, and idealizing patriarchal norms and aspirations. Patriarchy regulates and controls women's sexuality through mythological stories. Females are frequently treated as property to be transferred or enjoyed by men. The objectification of women's bodies is a recurrent issue in mythologies throughout the world, including India. In Indian mythology, Apsaras, the eternal seductresses of Indra's court, are clear references to female objectification. Apsaras, despite their greater importance and might, are mentioned only as passing characters in Indian mythology. They were never allowed to speak on the main platform and tell their story. However, in her novel Menaka's Choice, Indian-English novelist Kavita Kane breaks this tradition by projecting the most beautiful and brilliant apsara of Indralok, Menaka as the protagonist.

2024-04-29T09:19:47+00:00

Honeyed framework is a system environment for defending legitimate network resources against attack. The Honeyed framework fosters resource-stealing behavior by encouraging attackers to use it. This is a procedure for detecting an attack using an attack detection procedure. To recognize denial of service (DoS) threats, we employ the Honeyed framework system in this research. Primary security devices to prevent your network by enabling the identification of attacks in the face of network attacks are NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems). We propose a system that exposes an attack and verifies a defense mechanism against the same attack in this paper. For the new cyber security benchmark IoT dataset, this white paper tests the recent machine learning (ML) approaches. The primary purpose of this study is to develop a system that can forecast also secure malware, botnets, and DDOS attacks using Honeyed styles. The goal of this architecture is to accurately represent the data and create an effective cybersecurity predictive agent. Deep Convolution Reinforcement Neural Networks (DCRNN) are used to monitor networks and classify network users as attackers. This proposed method uses a two-step network understanding skills to increase its functionality. For feature engineering issues, the first step, data preprocessing, employs DSAE (Deep Sparse Auto Encoder). The Deep Convolution Reinforcement Neural Network learning approach is used in the second step for classification. The Honeyed framework is then installed, which includes the honeyed firewall and web server. The DCRNN deployment is full, and network users can now be monitored and analyzed. The impact of the published method was evaluated using data collected in a loT environment, specifically heterogeneous datasets such as 'LITNET-2020,' 'NetML-2020, and 'IoT-23,'. Considering the statistical significance of the outcomes of this approach's assessment will be tested using state-of-the-art network detection approaches.

Shifting Paradigms: Evolving Portrayals Of Gender Minorities In Indian Media

2024-04-16T08:51:46+00:00

The transgender community in India, referred to as Hijras, has been acknowledged as the third gender in Indian tradition, holding a distinct position within the religious and socio-cultural fabric for centuries. However, in contemporary society, they find themselves marginalized and relegated to a life marked by stigma, fear, and poverty. The mainstream Indian entertainment media has played a role in shaping societal perceptions by often portraying the transgender community as subjects of mockery, framed through humiliation and derision, or depicting them as sinister and unscrupulous individuals. This portrayal stands in stark contrast to the authentic experiences of the transgender community, as it fails to capture the true depth of their pain, struggles, and sensitivity. This study delves into the evolving representation of transgender individuals in Indian mainstream media, tracing a transition from distorted portrayals to more realistic depictions in recent times.

The Formation And Future Direction Of Chinese Vocal Music In 100 Years Of Development History

2024-04-22T10:24:10+00:00

The history of Chinese vocal music can be traced back to ancient music culture. As early as during the Shang Dynasty, silk-stringed instruments were used in China and a complete system of music theory was formed. As time went by, elegant music during the Tang Dynasty, court music during the Song Dynasty and opera music during the Yuan Dynasty laid the foundation for the development of Chinese vocal music. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, opera became a widely popular art form, of which Beijing opera is the most representative one. Peking Opera, with its unique vocal style and exquisite singing skills, became an important genre of Chinese vocal music. Meanwhile, folk songs and flower-drum operas also enriched the diversity of Chinese vocal music. In recent times, Chinese vocal music has undergone many changes and fusions. The introduction of western music made Chinese vocal music begin to accept the influence of western singing style, forming a Chinese-style western singing style. This unique way of synthesizing Chinese and Western singing styles has preserved the traditional characteristics of Chinese vocal music, but also possesses modern expressiveness. With the development of the times, Chinese vocal music faces some challenges and opportunities. Firstly, traditional vocal music is still the core of Chinese vocal music and should be better protected and inherited. Secondly, internationalization is also an important direction for the development of Chinese vocal music. Through exchanges and integration with other cultures, Chinese vocal music can show its unique charm on the world stage. In addition, the advancement of technology also provides brand-new opportunities for the development of Chinese vocal music. The popularization of the Internet has made vocal music education more convenient and learning resources more abundant. Meanwhile, the development of modern recording, audio and video technologies has also brought great convenience to vocal performance and dissemination. All in all, Chinese vocal music has a broad development prospect by virtue of its long history and rich cultural heritage. Protecting and inheriting traditional vocal music, keeping in line with international standards, and utilizing technology to improve vocal music education and performance will be an important direction for the future development of Chinese vocal music. At the same time, we also expect that Chinese vocal music can show its unique charm on the world stage and make greater contributions to the world cultural and artistic exchanges. This paper briefly introduces the development history of Chinese vocal music and expresses its own views on the future development trend of Chinese vocal music.

AI in Autonomous Vehicles: Opportunities, Challenges, and Regulatory Implications

2024-04-25T05:32:57+00:00

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the automotive industry through the development of fully autonomous vehicles. Self-driving cars powered by AI have the potential to dramatically improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, increase mobility access, and transform transportation as we know it. However, the deployment of AI in vehicles also presents significant technological challenges that must be overcome, raises complex ethical considerations, and creates novel regulatory issues that policymakers will need to address. This paper provides an overview of the key opportunities and benefits of AI-driven autonomous vehicles, discusses the major challenges and open problems that remain to be solved, and explores the regulatory landscape and policy implications surrounding self-driving cars. We argue that while autonomous vehicle technology is rapidly advancing thanks to breakthroughs in AI, there are still substantial challenges to be overcome before fully self-driving cars can be safely deployed at scale. Policymakers will need to create new regulatory frameworks and standards to govern the testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles, address issues of liability and insurance, ensure safety and security, and promote public trust in the technology. With the right technological developments and policy choices, autonomous vehicles could yield immense benefits to society, but concerted collaboration between industry, academia, and government will be essential to realize this potential

Voss's own tribulations find solace in his communion with nature, particularly in the wild and cultivated landscapes where revelatory experiences awaken wisdom and humility. Patrick White's adept portrayal of the Australian landscape sets his work apart, with real encounters with nature leading to unique revelations for his characters. Voss encompasses a diverse array of landscapes, each woven intricately into the narrative fabric of the novel. Thus, this paper explores the concept of idiosyncratic revelation within the characters' psychological realms as they engage with the ecology depicted in Patrick White's Voss.

Representative Politics And Dalit Literature: A Comparative Study On Bama And Chandramohan

2024-04-25T10:03:27+00:00

Literature is a prominent tool which perennially fosters social transformation. Literature and society in this way are intrinsically linked together and weaves a bond-literature affect society and society affects literature. For instance the preaching of Buddha and Jesus has weaved a cocoon of new identity in the age of orthodoxy and it has questioned the perennially accepted customs and traditions and still we have Jatakkas and Bible as forms of literature which designs the social structure. Sometimes literature is questioned by society and vice versa for which neither give answers. The literature of the marginalized creates such space which tries to embody an identity of encapsuled life in the myriad nuances of social structure. The present study is a comparative analysis of two Dalit writers—Bama and Chandramohan. This is an endeavor to show how they miniature the macrocosm of the Indian society in their works.

Revisiting The Relationship Between Psychological Contract And Job Satisfaction: The Moderating Role Of Organisational Commitment Behaviour And Team Building

2024-04-18T04:32:28+00:00

This paper examines the relationship between psychological contract (PSC) and job satisfaction (JST) with the moderating effect of organisational commitment (OCB) and team building (TBD) on this relationship. A structured survey questionnaire technique was applied for data collection and 377 responses were received from faculties working in privately owned HEIs located in Noida and Gurugram. The results revealed that PSC has a positive impact on JST. However, the effects of organisational commitment and team building were found significant. Accordingly, this paper contributes to PSC literature by demonstrating the relationship between PSC and JST in a developing world context. From a practical viewpoint, firms need to consider PSC from a holistic perspective by embracing and incorporating key sustainability aspects into various privately owned higher education institutes.

Understanding The Radicalism Of Jamaah Ansharut Daulah In Bima City, Indonesia

2024-04-19T05:51:14+00:00

The purpose of this paper is to explain the root causes of radicalism and the implementation of radical values by the Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) group using Berger and Luckman's social construction analysis through the internalization, objectivation, and externalization processes. This study was a case study approach with semi-structured interviews conducted with members of the JAD group. The result indicated that radicalism within this group arises from dissatisfaction with the government's inability to realize an equitable life for its people, leading its members to engage in extreme actions in the hope of replacing the liberal government system. They used methods like da'wah with religious propaganda to instill radical beliefs in their followers. The internalization process was marked by the implantation of radical values, where at this stage, they have an incomplete understanding of religious transcripts such as the Qur'an and Hadith, resulting in the interpretation of all radical actions as manifestations of faith. The objectivation process involves the group members positioning themselves as an institution with strict rules systematically and continuously engaging in activities to defend the faith, known as i’dad. Externalization was marked as the implementation of values through acts of terror, such as violence against infidels and bombing of places deemed contrary to religion.

2024-04-19T11:29:57+00:00

The backdrop concentrates on the research and creation of models for software dependability, with an emphasis on the utilization of Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process (NHPP) prototypes to forecast that rate of software malfunction. Software reliability analysis and simulation methodologies are getting better thanks to the efforts of researchers and academics in computer science, software engineering, and related fields. The significance of precise modelling for software reliability in terms of boosting software quality, making the most of testing, and boosting software systems' overall reliability. Software reliability can be anticipated and evaluated using a variety of models and methods, such as failure detection, fault repair techniques, and dependable growth assumptions.

Objective

In order to predict and identify software failure rates, the study paper will examine and assess a variety of software reliability models, including stochastic models such as Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process (NHPP) models. The paper's objectives are to examine multiple models in respect to the Theil statistic and performance indicators such as variance, bias, root median square prediction mistake and the mean square mistake. The analysis's findings will show how precise and well-suited the recommended methods are to more normative growth models of software reliability. In order to anticipate software dependability, the study also discusses the construction of multiple change-point extended queueing models that take time delays in fault detection and rectification processes and defect recovery rates into account.

Developed throughout the previous three decades, software reliability growth models (SRGMs) are a valuable tool for estimating and forecasting software dependability. The majority of frequent SRGMs seem to think that errors will be corrected immediately. These expectations might not always be realistic or correct in real life. To debug software, programmers need to be able to replicate mistakes, identify their root causes, make the required adjustments, and then run the programme again. It takes time to complete this process. It's possible that the issue's clearance rate fluctuates as well may vary over time and between sites, according to some research or observations. Consequently, we shall look into the subject of how queueing models for mistake detection and correction define software development processes. We introduce an enhanced model for infinite server queuing that features numerous change-points to accurately estimate and assess software stability. The suggested model may be more accurate than traditional SRGMs in capturing the variance in fault rectification rates and influencing software development behaviour, according to empirical results and real failure statistics.

In the modern era of investing, it's become increasingly common for investors to manage diverse portfolios that involve a combination of equities, debt, currencies, and commodities. Recently, the commodities market has emerged as a popular choice among investors, leading to an uptick in research in this area. With many beneficiaries, including farmers, consumers, arbitragers, speculators, and industrialists, the commodities market experiences high traded volumes and constant demand and supply fluctuations. Agricultural commodities traded on the National Commodities and Derivatives Exchange of India have seen an increase in trading volume, contributing to price volatility and risk. Additionally, these commodities are subject to seasonality, as they are only traded during certain times of the year, making investment decisions even more challenging. However, tools such as derivatives can be used to hedge against risk and mitigate potential losses.

In order to hedge their investments effectively, investors must understand and be able to forecast future price trends of commodities and volumes. Fortunately, there are models available to aid investors in predicting future trends, such as Linear Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM).

This study anticipates the future prices of certain agricultural goods traded in India. After conducting literature reviews, we have determined that the ARIMA model is a reliable source for precise results. As a result, our study employs the ARIMA model to predict the future prices of Cotton and Turmeric traded on the NCDEX. We accomplished this by utilizing an analytical methodology with the ADF Econometrics model to verify stationarity. Our data was sourced from secondary sources available on the NCDEX website.

Our study anticipates that the prices of these commodities will remain stationary at the first-order difference. Meanwhile, the prices will be stationary at extremes at the second-order difference, indicating the suitability for a further predictive model. Based on information criteria, the models with the lowest AIC and BIC scores are deemed the most suitable for predicting the future prices of Cotton and Turmeric in India.

The purpose of the paper is to examine the influence of workplace deviance dimensions on job satisfaction via Top Management support as a mediator in Omani universities. In this study, data is collected via random sampling method, and the number of respondents (population of the sample) is distributed among employees and academic staff of Oman universities. The sample of the present study consisted of a total of 380 analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (Smart-PLS) in order to examine causal relationships among the study's latent variables. The findings of this study indicated that workplace deviance factors (communication, training development, employee empowerment, diversity tolerance, employee motivation) were negative significant predictors of job satisfaction, but work stress did not have a significant effect on job satisfaction. Additionally, the lack of (communication, training development, and employee motivation) had a statistically negatively significant influence on top management support, while employee empowerment had a positive influence on top management. On the other hand, work stress and the lack of diversity tolerance were found to be insignificant for top management support. Moreover, top management support (TM) could mediate the link between workplace deviance and job satisfaction, and top management support was a partial mediating effect between the lack of (communication, training development, employee empowerment) and job satisfaction. The major contribution of this research is statistically validating the workplace deviance factors influencing job satisfaction negatively in the higher education universities sector of Oman. This study provides a better understanding of the relationship between the six variables (workplace stress, communication, training development, diversity tolerance, and employee motivation) that may become an essential guideline for workplace deviance and future researchers, and at the same time, provides empirical support on the theories related to the study as mentioned above. Furthermore, the findings contribute to the ongoing discourse about the important top management support by examining the distinctive mediating effect of TM on workplace deviance and job satisfaction.

The Role Of Artificial Intelligence In HRM: Opportunities, Challenges, And Ethical Considerations

2024-04-29T05:32:53+00:00

In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resource Management (HRM) practices has transformed the landscape of talent acquisition, employee engagement, and performance evaluation. AI's predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms allow HRM to improve recruiting, applicant sourcing, and employee training. Automatic resume screening solutions speed up the selection process, while AI-driven chatbots improve the candidate experience by communicating seamlessly. Personalised learning pathways using AI-powered platforms help employees gain relevant skills and develop their careers. Despite the potential benefits, integrating AI into HRM presents different challenges. Furthermore, relying on AI for decision-making could overlook the intricacies of human behaviour and emotions, thereby undermining trust and morale in the workplace. AI for HRM requires ethical considerations. To reduce bias and ensure accountability, algorithmic decision-making must be transparent and accountable. HR professionals must monitor AI systems for discrimination and adjust them to uphold equity and diversity. Employee data privacy must be protected by strong data protection processes and GDPR compliance.

Overall, AI in HRM can improve talent management and organisational success. To responsibly use its potential, obstacles and ethical issues must be addressed. HR professionals may use AI to improve decision-making, diversity, and sustainability by promoting ethical AI use. So, the main aim of this paper is to study the role of Artificial Intelligence in HRM: opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations in cutting-edge technologies.

The dialectic of integrative thought and its epistemological role Contemporary vision

2024-04-15T11:52:54+00:00

This era has witnessed a significant scientific and research struggle regarding the importance of epistemological integration, in terms of its reality and justifications.

The research endeavored to highlight the aspects of integration and the components of cognitive sciences, while not neglecting to clarify that comprehending scientific development is a difficult matter. This is because it is one of the foundations upon which the theory of knowledge has been established in the development of all scientific fields and on all levels.

The research also emphasized that the rise and flourishing of Islamic civilization was nothing but an inevitable result of the integration between knowledges, through the necessity of epistemological integration. And the research highlighted a number of facts after the groundwork was prepared for them; the research clarified the importance and necessity of incorporating all types of knowledge and sciences – cosmic, natural, religious, and others – within the term Islamic thought, considering that all knowledge and sciences in Islam are complementary, each completing the other.

This means the necessity of laying the foundation for building a solid knowledge base that relies on a new reading, leading to a common and realistic understanding that aligns with the changes of the modern era and its enormous intellectual challenges.

Therefore, it has become imperative to warn the public from delving into understanding scientific issues and building their perceptions based on their own private readings that are not disciplined by the fundamentals and rules of scientific and academic thinking.

The research emphasizes that epistemology does not mean a final break with the past, but rather it is a gradual cultural transformation, from a traditional culture that expresses an old environment and interprets the world in a traditional way, to a developed culture capable of understanding technology and the manifestations of renewal that modernity carries with it.

2024-04-16T10:57:07+00:00

Community-based credit unions (CCUs) occupy a unique position within the Ghanaian economy because of their special role in facilitating payments and channeling credit to individuals and businesses in remote areas. Internal control policy mechanisms are critical to their financial performance. To determine significant internal control policy predictors of financial performance, an ordinal logistic regression model is applied. Data was collected from 105 registered and operational CCUs in Ghana using multistage stratified sampling. Statistically significant internal control policy predictors of CCUs’ financial performance were organizational environment (OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.56), monitoring (OR=0.38, 95% CI:0.22,0.65), risk assessment and control (OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.21). A statistically significant interactive relationship was also found between organizational environment and risk assessment and control (OR=3.76, 95% CI: 1.88, 7.61). The financial performance of CCUs appears to depend on a complex combination of internal control policy predictors.

Analysis Of Feature Extraction Techniques In Different Contrast Enhanced CT Images Of Liver

2024-04-17T12:38:45+00:00

Feature extraction is an important part of segmentation techniques applied to images. Extraction of various features mean identification of different attributes that characterize an image. This process is quite challenging because of the image resolution and its complexity. In this paper we are trying to detect the cancerous tissues from the liver organ where the extraction of tissue features further requires differentiating between the cancerous and non-cancerous tissue patches. It is important to identity texture features that best describe a healthy and an unhealthy tissue from the digital image. Also, it is necessary to include a good number of texture features for better classification. In this paper, two feature extraction techniques, namely Gray-Level Co-Occurance Matrix (GLCM) and Gray-level run-length matrix (GLRLM) are used for identifying the texture characteristics of tumor in liver organ. These techniques depend on the spatial distribution of intensity values or gray levels in the liver region. The extracted features are then classified using SVM classifier. The accuracy of the model is satisfactory and effective for tumor diagnosis and decision making process for treatment of tumor.

2024-04-25T05:23:38+00:00

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a group of proteins known for their pivotal role in the central nervous system, influencing process from growth and development to brain injury and repair. The specific MMPs targeting the amyloid precursor protein (APP) play a crucial role in influencing the aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ), contributing to the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). While altered MMP expression has been implicated in the progression of AD, a definitive expression pattern remains elusive. Consequently, this study aims to establish the precise expression pattern of MMP-3 and MMP-9 in patients with AD. For this purpose, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sera were collected from 31 patients with AD and 25 healthy normal controls. ELISA was employed to determine MMP-3 and MMP-9 quantities in both CSF and serum samples, followed by a comparative analysis to ascertain their expression patterns. Significantly different MMP-3 and MMP-9 levels were observed between patients with AD and healthy controls. Interestingly, a positive correlation emerged between the Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) score and concentrations of MMP-3 and MMP-9 in both CSF and serum, with MMP-9 demonstrating higher expression levels than MMP-3 in both compartments. These findings shed light on the distinct expression patterns of MMP-3 and MMP-9 in patients with AD and prompt further investigations into the potential utilization of these dynamic molecules as promising biomarkers for AD therapy.

Appropriating Heidegger’s Philosophy Of Dwelling In The Cordillera's Concept Of Ancestral Domain

2024-04-26T13:08:59+00:00

Culture, in its broadest definition, refers to the entirety of human thoughts, behaviors, and the products of human activities that prompts one to consider within the context of the "hermeneutic turn." This study's primary objective was to provide light on Martin Heidegger's concept of dwelling and to investigate the ways in which it may be appropriated within the Cordillera culture mentality of ancestral domain. The research was carried out utilizing three distinct methodologies: the descriptive qualitative method, the cultural phenomenological method, and the hermeneutical method. These three methodological techniques were utilized in order to conduct the analysis on the data that was provided. A structure of Dasein that is ontico-ontological is the concept of dwelling that was developed by Martin Heidegger. When it comes to existing in the world, Dasein's method of being is known as dwelling. The collecting of the four-fold element of earth, sky, human people, and a sense of spiritual reverence, which collectively represent higher realities, is a necessary step in the process. Because it both supports and reflects a person's and a group's specific manner of "being-in-the-world," the physical environment as well as the cultural dimensions is an extremely important factor. Ancestral domain as a certain embodied grasp of the world, a certain orientation that reveals qualities of a culture mentality, is one of the characteristics that constitutes the built environment. This releasing, sparing, and preserving mentality that is associated with dwelling is what makes it necessary to have an ethical obligation.

The manufacture of cement uses up a significant quantity of virgin materials in the atmosphere, which is one of the factors that contributes to the phenomenon of global warming. It is also worth noting that India generates more than one hundred million tons of fly ash every year. It was decided that fly ash would be the primary ingredient that would be activated via the geopolymerization process in order to serve as the binder for the concrete, therefore completely replacing the need for Portland cement. In order to fulfil the polymerization process, researchers used both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide in three different combination processes. Based on the previous literature study, researchers presumed that certain parameters were fixed. We analyzed the other parameters, including temperature, curing duration, and testing age, using various types of activators. We made use of activators such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and a mixture consisting of fifty percent sodium hydroxide and fifty percent potassium hydroxide. Optimizing the temperature and cure time of alkali activated concrete involves using the compressive strength test. For the purpose of this inquiry, a solution-to-fly ash ratio of 0.35 was used, along with a 13-mole concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and potassium hydroxide. The investigation selected grade M30 for the study. All of the specimens were cured in an oven at temperatures of 600 degrees Celsius, 1000 degrees Celsius, and 1400 degrees Celsius for a period of 12 and 24 hours, respectively. We conducted every test following the process outlined in the Indian standard code. In this section, the findings of the tests for compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexure strength are tabulated and examined in depth, and some significant conclusions are drawn.

Classification Of Topology For The Internet Autonomous Systems: A Study Based On The Implementation Of Internet Autonomous System

2024-04-25T10:56:27+00:00

Internet routing protocols used by autonomous systems (AS) include the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Multiple criteria for export and import make up an AS's routing table. Many sites have suggested heuristic ways for assuming AS connections from publicly available BGP data, because of the public nature of connection unravelling. A material Delivery Network (CDN) comprised of geographically dispersed servers is a nod to the value of content consumers. It is crucial to examine the efficiency with which visitors are sent to servers that are not controlled by content providers as content delivery traffic now constitutes most of the Internet traffic. Among content delivery network (CDN) services, Akamai and Netflix rank high. The user experience is impacted by the performance of the servers in the content delivery network. This necessitates that CDNs choose the most suitable server each time a user requests content from their network. Due to the lack of authentication in BGP routes, prefixes may be taken over by ASes that do not belong to them. Approaches to address this include detecting hijacks after they have taken place and responding to them after the fact. More effective preventive measures are required to stop it in its tracks. A list of repeat hijackers that was suggested in a recent paper could make this approach possible. To make matters worse, very few individuals take over again.

Residential Affiliation In M.G. Vassanji’s Novel “No New Land”

2024-04-08T09:15:42+00:00

The historical context of Indian labourers moving to East Africa due to British colonialism, and their subsequent departure during the decolonization period, is a backdrop to many of Vassanji's novels. This displacement forms a foundation for exploring the themes of belonging and identity within the immigrant experience. The Indian community’s relocation from Africa to Canada, as depicted in "No New Land," touches upon the intricacies of their identity crisis. Having been uprooted twice—first from India to Africa, and then from Africa to Canada—these immigrants face unique challenges in defining their sense of home and belonging. The concept of an ethnic enclave is used in the novel to depict this struggle, where the immigrant protagonists choose to live in a predominantly South Asian residential building in Don Mills. An ethnic enclave, like the one in "No New Land," can offer a sense of security and community for immigrants by providing a familiar cultural landscape within an unfamiliar country. However, as the novel illustrates, such enclaves can also lead to what Vassanji terms "residential affliction," a condition where immigrants might feel confined within their cultural community, which could hinder their integration into the wider society. The "Affliction" in the novel and the broader experience of the immigrant community represents the pain and challenges of maintaining one's cultural heritage while facing the pressures of assimilation and acceptance in a new land. Vassanji’s depiction of these experiences in his novels invites readers to understand the intricacies of immigrant life, the emotional and cultural dilemmas faced by those who live in ethnic enclaves, and how these factors contribute to the collective ethnic record of the community.

On Complexity Of Governance In Higher Education In India

2024-04-18T11:10:07+00:00

Although the presence of industrialism (or market) is, as Polanyi (2001) made clear, neither non existential ever before last century nor went undisputed about its length and depth in modern society but sheer shift from state to market in recent decades has attracted enormous attention from different scholars. In this sense, education that has been closely attached with market and state-or its institutional mechanism- inevitability undergoes changes but what would be scale of market is on-going debate especially in a country where the requirement of expenditure, even at elementary level, on education neither met during colonial regime nor in more than six decades of independence. Unfortunately, however, most of the assumptions regarding the predominantly benign and progressive origins of higher education under state apparatus remain for the most part untested and abstract. This paper attempts to address this scholastic lacuna based on secondary data. It is divided into three parts. First, this paper critically assess the main existing understanding about ‘education’ that purport to explain the causal mechanisms behind the rational of education with state and the establishment of state apparatus around education.Second, it suggests that the trend toward complexity of governance structure is hardly driven by politicians’ genuine commitment to democracy, social justice, or universal rights. Rather, it is best understood as the product of a strategic interplay among hegemonic yet threatened political elites, influential economic stakeholders, and bureaucracy. Above mentioned self-interested groups tend to form coalitions to determine the timing, extent, and nature of governance structure of higher education leading to the rise of private players. Thirdly, it analyses the opening of market and jobs demands the ‘skilled’ base knowledge to which government institution seems to be insufficiently equipped with.

Intelligent Document Classification In Online Library Management Using Hybrid Deep Learning Model

2024-04-17T09:55:12+00:00

Intelligent document classification has gained significant importance in online library management, as it facilitates efficient organization and retrieval of electronic documents. Traditional document classification methods involve manual labeling and sorting, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. In recent years, deep learning models have been successfully applied to document classification tasks, achieving high accuracy and reducing the need for manual intervention. However, these models often require massive amounts of labeled data to train effectively. This paper proposes a hybrid deep-learning model for intelligent document classification in online library management. The model combines the strengths of both convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to effectively classify a wide range of document types, including text, images, and multimedia files. The CNN component extracts features from documents, while the RNN component learns temporal dependencies between documents. This allows more accurate classification of documents with complex structures and varying lengths. We evaluate the performance of our model using a real-world dataset of documents from an online library. The results show that our hybrid model outperforms traditional and single-model approaches, achieving a classification accuracy of over 95%. Furthermore, the model can adapt to new document types with minimal retraining, making it a versatile and robust solution for intelligent document classification in online library management.

Drawing on insights from educational theorists advocating for the transformative potential of storytelling, the research explores how narrative methodologies enrich communication skills across listening, speaking, reading, and writing domains. By emphasizing the cultural and creative dimensions of language learning through storytelling, the study aims to deepen learners' understanding and appreciation of the English language.

The findings of this research contribute to the ongoing discourse on innovative approaches in language teaching, offering practical insights into the efficacy of narrative strategies in enhancing English language proficiency among diverse student populations. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the adoption of narrative methodologies in English language instruction, thereby addressing the persistent challenges faced by students in developing communicative competence.

Interpretable And Proactive Intrusion Detection Using Discrete Optimization Learning: Futuristic Approach

2024-04-26T06:36:22+00:00

Early detection of Network security relies heavily on the detection of intrusions, yet existing methods often struggle to identify threats before a session concludes. This limitation stems from the predominant use of features extracted from entire sessions, hindering early detection. AI based interruption location frameworks have arisen as an essential device in this space, although the challenge of designing an optimal framework persists. To address this issue, a novel approach is proposed, leveraging packet data as features to discern malicious traffic. However, this method introduces the risk of false positives, where normal packets may be erroneously classified as intrusions, and vice versa. To counteract this, the proposed method focuses on learning patterns of packets that are uninformative for distinguishing between intrusions and benign sessions. Through extensive experimentation, it has been demonstrated that this approach enables early detection of intrusions, even before session termination, while maintaining detection performance comparable to established methods. This innovative strategy represents a significant advancement in enhancing network security. In this we are using CICEV2023 Ddos Attack data set it also provide us an distributed threats that which we can easily remove from the original dataset and considered as a cyber threat by using Discrete optimization learning based on the LSTM (Long short Term Memory) and Back propagation techniques for retrieve the process if any miscalculation occurs. With these techniques, we acquire the accuracy rate of 96.14% and 84.6% recall as well the main achievement of this project is to detect the intrusion before the session gets terminated. The NIDS is crucial for network security, especially when utilizing ML and DL technologies to combat complex attacks. Our article presents another two-stage interruption identification framework involving circulated profound learning for ongoing investigation. This system excels in detecting distributed malicious activities and employs a hybrid model for precise attack identification. Additionally, our model has broad applications in various DL fields and demonstrates improved training loss rates through effective data cleaning techniques.

Social Affiliations In M. G. Vassanji's No New Land

2024-04-08T08:50:29+00:00

Living under another sky is not always smooth for human migrators. Initially, the new land may seem promising and bustling with activities, but as time passes unexpected hardships arise. Despite being good-natured and hardworking, migrants often feel like intruders and experience loneliness and longing for their native land. To escape these afflictions, they seek affiliations with groups of like-minded persons to protect themselves from the challenges of living in an alien land. This paper explores how social togetherness proves to be an effective remedy for healing the traumatic experiences encountered by immigrants in a foreign country. Due to British colonial rule over Asian and African continents, Indian workers were sent in large numbers from India to Africa throughout the nineteenth century. These labourers were recruited to construct the railroads that linked the three British colonies in East Africa—Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. While the immigration of Indian labourers is viewed as a kind of colonialism, their removal during the years after the independence can be seen as a part of decolonization. Though they were accused of failing to support the Africans who were then involved in armed resistance against the British colonialists, the Indians were forced to flee Africa. This paper attempts to study the experiences of these deported Indians as they are described in M.G. Vassanji. The Canadian author M.G. Vassanji's family was likewise expelled from Dar es salaam, Tanzania. He also discusses the Indian Shamsi’s scrupulous adherence to the many social and cultural norms and how they encountered in their new country, Canada. This study looks at the migrant population's experiences and the affiliation topic. This study will try to argue how steadfastly South Asian Canadians adhere to their ethnic ideals. The article will explain the social affiliation before demonstrating how the author approaches affiliation as a necessary component of the community's ethnic record.

Tax Buoyancy, Imports, And The Service Sector: How Does Regulatory Quality Moderate These Relationships?

2024-04-17T07:51:32+00:00

One way to measure the effectiveness of the tax system is through tax buoyancy, which refers to the total response of tax revenue to changes in national income. Therefore, this research aims to determine the simultaneous and partial effects of the service sector and imports on tax buoyancy in Asia-Pacific countries, using Regulatory Quality as a moderator. The study adopts a quantitative descriptive method with panel data regression analysis. The econometric model is estimated using the Random Effect Model (REM). The research findings indicate that the service sector and imports, as well as the moderated interaction between the service sector and imports, have a significant influence on tax buoyancy in the Asia-Pacific region. Partially, the study reveals that the service sector has a positive and significant impact on tax buoyancy, while Regulatory Quality and the import sector do not affect tax buoyancy. Moreover, Regulatory Quality weakens the positive relationship between the service sector and tax buoyancy and it also weakens the negative relationship between the import sector and tax buoyancy. Based on these findings, governments should formulate comprehensive economic and fiscal policies that integrate various sectors to enhance tax buoyancy and strengthen the tax base in Asia-Pacific countries.

AN ANALYSIS OF TREND, PATTERN AND STRENGTH OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI) AND FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENT (FII) TO INDIA.

2024-04-19T12:00:19+00:00

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment made by a company or individual in one country into a business or asset located in another country. FDI can be made in a variety of ways, including a controlling interest in a foreign company, establishing a new business in a foreign country, merging, or acquiring with a foreign company, purchasing real estate or other tangible assets in a foreign country. FDI is important for both the investing and host countries. For the investing country, FDI can provide access to new markets, resources, and technologies. It can also help to diversify the investing country's economy and increase its exports. For the host country, FDI can provide access to capital, technology, and management expertise. FDI can help to boost economic growth in the host country by creating new jobs, increasing productivity, and expanding markets, competitiveness, and transferring new technical know-how to the host country. Thus, the FDI can be a valuable source of economic development for both investing and host countries. However, the researcher plans to explore the trends, patterns, and strengths of foreign direct investment and foreign institutional investment inflow to India over the periods. Besides, an attempt also has been made to composition of cumulative FDI Equity in India. For analysing the aforesaid phenomenon, various standard statistical tools have been used. It has been observed that there is inflow of net foreign investment with slight fluctuations over the period. On the other hand, the trends of inflow of net portfolio investment to India have been found with huge fluctuations over the period. This deviation in the inflow of net portfolio investment may be due to the gap between the inflow and outflow of portfolio investment. The government must address structural issues like inconsistent policies, proliferation of line ministries, and suboptimal modal share in freight movement to ensure timely completion of infrastructure projects like designated freight corridors and maintain a steady policy framework for long-term investment in e-commerce.

Exploring The Influence Of Family Support And Leisure Pursuits On Alleviating Stress: A Holistic Examination Of Women's Work-Life Harmony

2024-04-21T05:59:24+00:00

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of several characteristics, such as family support, dedication to recreational activities, and degrees of anxiety, on the amicability of participants' professional and personal lives. Analysis of relapse and intriguing insights were used to scrutinize data from 161 people. The relapse research found that family support and anxiety levels were significant predictors of work-life harmony (F(3, 157) = 1205.075, p <.0001), but relaxation commitment did not have a meaningful impact. The significance of solid connections in attaining a harmonious equilibrium between work and personal life obligations is shown by the correlation between increased levels of family support and enhanced levels of work-life concordance (β =.888, p <.0001). It is essential to mention that those who have higher levels of anxiety often report somewhat higher levels of agreement between their professional and personal life (β =.133, p =.036). This discovery emphasizes the complex connection between the ability to recognize stress and the equilibrium between pleasurable and significant activities. However, the commitment to relaxation did not have a considerable impact on the perceived level of work-life balance (β = -.041, p =.380). Members exhibited reasonable levels of performance in all areas, with some degree of variance seen in each facet, as shown by graphical measurements. These results highlight the importance of familial support in promoting coherence and achievement in both one's career and personal endeavors. In order to enhance the harmony between work and personal life, the review proposes treatments that focus on fostering solid connections and effective stress management strategies. It also adds to our comprehension of the importance of balancing significant and enjoyable aspects of our activities. Additional study is necessary to corroborate the results across many groups and situations, focusing on additional factors that influence the equilibrium between severe and enjoyable tasks.

Substitution Effects Of Tax Burden Alterations Throughout Post-Taxing On Employment: Turkey Case

2024-04-23T06:56:17+00:00

This study aims to question the changes in the tax base in Turkey over the last forty years and the scale effects of the tax burden effects related to these changes. Since tax changes are also associated with deficits in the public sector borrowing requirements, and this phenomenon causes tax increases, it is understood that each increase in tax burdens over the years creates significantly different effects, primarily on employment. These differences were discussed through two main factors, the income effect and the substitution effect, and our study strengthened the meaningfulness of detecting a common effect, especially at the employment level, where the income substitution effect comes to the fore. In this context, the possible effects of current tax burden changes on Turkey's employment and labour supply potential stand out with their income substitution effect in a structure supported by other social policies. This impact scale is also affected by other macro variables that can be expressed with different values and further increases the effectiveness of the tax burden in a structure where possible inflation rates are also effective. In this context, it is thought that in addition to tax increases due to public borrowing requirements, which we consider independent variables, changes in the tax burden. This fact, our main topic, constitutes an essential basis for understanding the increase in employment, labour force participation and labour market values. It has been seen as a critical goal to question whether the increases in employment rates and the positive impact on employment volume in Turkey are linked to a labour demand that may arise in association with the increasing tax burden. However, it is observed that the rising tax burden affects unemployment rates, employment volume and labour supply, but the process has different effects with a fluctuating and highly variable structure.

An Appraisal Of The Status Of All-Women Police Stations In India With Special Reference To Manipur State

2024-04-25T12:08:31+00:00

Women in Police have been an emerging trend especially with the rise of crimes and violences against women on one end of the spectrum and increased involvement of women in crimes on the other end. In both the cases, there is an urgent need for recruitment of women in police for many reasons. Among the more urgent factors is the fact that the response of the traditional police to crimes against women is very unsatisfactory almost bordering on human rights violation. More often than not, traditional Police tries to act as mediators and often opt for out-of-court settlement which do not necessarily deliver justice to affected women. Furthermore, the atmosphere in the police station is not necessarily conducive to victimised women sharing their ordeals. Against these shortcomings of the Police, there is an urgent need to institutionalise police facilities manned by women police personnel only in the form of All-Women Police Stations. This will ensure that women victims of crime are given the requisite legal redressal in a conducive environment. Thus, the paper tries to find out the status of the All-Women Police Stations in Manipur.

Educational Insights into the Political Business Cycles in Ghana: Empirical Overview from 1990-2020

2024-04-26T07:23:08+00:00

In view of the inability of incumbent governments to curb overspending in election years in the last three decades in Ghana and in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020 elections where the government was determined to maintain some fiscal discipline but failed, there is a growing concern that excessive spending in election years could be counterproductive to the economic performance in the long and short runs. Going into election 2024 which is scheduled for December 07 in Ghana, this paper sets out to provide educational insights by ascertaining: (1) evidence of political business cycle in Ghana, and (2) the implications of loose monetary and fiscal choices in election years on economic performance within the context of Autoregression modeling framework and time series data from 1990-2020. One insight is that, the error correction results provide evidence of political business cycles driven by excessive spending which negatively affect the economy in the short-run. Another insight is that, Cointegration analysis points to loose fiscal and monetary habits in election years that do have negative long- and short- run implications for economic performance. In fact, results show that, holding other factors constant, 1 percent increase in budget deficits in election years significantly decreases the rate of GDP growth by 0.23 and 0.49 percent in the long- and short-runs respectively. Another finding is that, the growing national debt and exchange rate volatility have negative effects on economic performance. While, 1 percent increase in national debt driven by overspending in election years decreases the rate of GDP growth by 0.15 percent, 1 percent increase in the rate of cedi depreciation decreases the rate of GDP growth by 0.40 percent in the long run respectively, all things being equal. Based on these insights, the paper therefore recommends strict adherence to fiscal responsibility law enacted in 2018 and other policies aimed at ensuring prudent fiscal and monetary decisions in election periods

Qualitative Assessment Of New Policy Framework On School Education In India

2024-04-08T06:34:01+00:00

India has been geographically, culturally and historically tempting for the world since times immemorial. The education pedagogy is thus in sync with the vision in both letter and spirit to make it a super power. This National Education Policy has borrowed from the historical past of enlightenment and nostalgia to weave the rich cultural heritage of Indian civilization with global outreach of knowledge. Yet, despite high levels of commitments embedded within the democratic fabric of this nation, equity amongst resources is a rare thing. Therefore, NEP 2020 indicates improvisation in curriculum and pedagogy development in institutions that develops a deep sense of respect towards the Fundamental Duties and Constitutional values, bonding with one’s country, and a conscious awareness of one’s roles and responsibilities in a changing world (NEP:5). However, change is constant and to keep pace with increasing contradiction of what is acceptable and accommodating is challenging. The learning begins in early childcare and primary schooling is the focal centre of this education policy. For this the local dialect needs to in sync with the learning as the reproduction of knowledge is hampered subject to proficiency in language. Does this mean humanity is handicap to serve mankind without a common medium of language? Or the global harmony can be attained to encompass ‘learning for all’ by communicating in local dialect for the ‘good for all’. NEP 2020, if pronounced well in execution can bring desired change in all-inclusive approach to uplift the downtrodden and marginalised sections of society. To instil intent with curriculum goes hand in hand developing critical thinking and holistic development.

Perceived Constraints by the Board of Directors in Managing the activities of Farmers’ Producer Organizations (FPOs) In Odisha

2024-04-26T12:17:20+00:00

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman emphasised in her first Budget address for the fiscal year 2019–20 the Government’s goal to create 10,000 new Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) by 2022. Previously, the Ministry of Agriculture had convened an expert committee to review the 2013-draft policy guidelines, prompted by the burgeoning growth of FPOs in the state governments of Odisha and Karnataka. The emergence of an FPO movement seems imminent, considering the substantial evidence. A decade ago, the term "FPO" held little significance for many, but today, it is sparingly used outside of conferences by civil society organizations. In 2019, two separate award ceremonies were slated to honor the achievements of FPOs, reflecting their growing importance. Recognizing their significance, even corporate leaders and entrepreneurs like Ms. Kiran Shaw have acknowledged the value of FPOs. The concept of forming entrepreneurial clusters was proposed as a transformative initiative for rural India. Discussions surrounding FPOs have extended beyond agricultural and rural studies to encompass rainfed areas and other related subjects. Both federal and state-level initiatives have been undertaken to evaluate suitable policies and ecological support for FPOs. However, concerns have arisen as several FPOs have disbanded, struggling to sustain their operations effectively, raising doubts about their long-term viability.

Consequently, a research endeavor titled "Functional Analysis of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) in Odisha" was initiated to evaluate their growth, development, and the extent of familiarity among their board of directors (BoDs) with efficient operational practices. Following an ex-post-facto research methodology, the study utilized a sample size of three per district, totaling ninety participants selected randomly from nine FPOs across the districts of Cuttack, Puri, and Khordha in Odisha. The survey findings indicated that FPOs demonstrated stronger networking relationships, with technical and social mobilization services ranking second and third, respectively. Data analysis involved multiple regression analysis, correlation, and frequency distributions to derive meaningful insights.

Conversational Coordination Skills Of Engineering Students—An Interpersonal Communication Perspective

2024-04-29T09:22:03+00:00

Interpersonal skills are the fulcrum on which the levers of interpersonal relations revolve. It is imperative to maintain interpersonal rapport and conduct ourselves with the requisite communication competence with others. Interpersonal skills are the conduit through which students interact with others effectively and appropriately. Duality in interpersonal interactions determines the extent to which our conversations succeed or fail. Duality is a process where individuals feel respected and heard in their conversations. The foundational pillar of duality in interpersonal communication is reciprocity. Monopolizing communication is the antithesis of a productive conversation. This could amount to egotism or narcissism. Competent communicators talk and help others to express themselves. Participants in a conversation cannot have a huge number of latency pauses that stifle the smoothness of a conversation. Smooth coordination, turn taking, listening patiently without being judgemental, giving co-communicators opportunities to express their views and opinions are the crux of interpersonal communication competence. Results indicated that competent communicators not only talk and express their views but take it as a solemn responsibility to give others also a chance to express their views. Conversational narcissism defeats the purpose of smooth conversations. Further, students indicated that their overall conversational communication competence needs to improve. This paper will deal with the significance of conversational skills, the various elements of conversational coordination, the need to cultivate a reciprocal give and take in all our interpersonal interactions, what constitutes good conversational coordination, and why many of our conversations become awkward, laborious, and cumbersome. A meta-analysis of various findings of the relevance of interpersonal conversational coordination skills is discussed here. Finally, the steps to be taken to ensure that our interpersonal conversations are smooth and courteous marked by reciprocity, respect, and empathy will be discussed.

Contextualizing Human Trafficking In India: A Critical Reflection

2024-04-14T08:54:53+00:00

Human Trafficking is one of the oldest forms of crime existing in current times. Humans have been victims of trafficking on various pretexts like labour, slavery, trade and so on. There have been various regulations put in place globally and in various countries to tackle the menace of human trafficking. There has been a trend of seeing human trafficking only interms of prostitution thus restricting the efforts to deal with human trafficking per se prostitution only. Therefore, it is evident we find numerous laws and other measures which have constantly tackled the issue of prostitution as a form of human trafficking. However, with the advent of time a nuanced understanding of human trafficking was built wherein labour trafficking emerged as an increasing form of human trafficking. Thus, what we are currently witnessing is the reconceptualization of human trafficking by including new forms of labour trafficking within its ambit. This has further increased the scope of human trafficking by seen migration for labour as an interconnected web within the prism of trafficking. This paper tries to reflect upon the contextualisation of human trafficking in India and how it has been reshaped as a phenomenon over a period.
