1. Natural materials used for an eco-friendly interiors-jute crafts

India has large resources of natural fibers such as Banana, Sisal, Korai grass, Talipot, Palm leaf, Coconut, Pineapple, Golden grass, Jute, and Sabai among others. In the past, trade of the village folK depended on harvesting fibers grown in their villages. They spun or twisted yarn into ropes and sold them in villages or town markets. However with time, the emphasis was shifted to cotton and then during the post-independent era, silk and -jute became the new wonder fibers. jute is long, soft, and shiny it is one of nature’s strongest vegetable fibers. The fibers are also woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets, area rugs, hessian cloth, and backing for linoleum. The main objective is to make jute fiber from natural materials. To make jute roped room dividers, doors, and windows with supporting cane. Cane boxes were custom built with evenly spaced rope sized holes drilled through the top and bottom. Precut sections of rope were strung through the top and tied off at the bottom, allowing for the interior knot to hold the rope in place and taut. Jute rope can be the key to the design. Most of the women who belong to the socio-economically backward sections of the society are engaged in natural fiber weaving to produce objects for daily use. It is one of the cheapest and the strongest of all-natural fibers and is considered as fiber of the future. It has no adverse effect on the human body and Mother Nature as a whole.

2. Recreating the traditional Kashmiri arts in contemporary interiors with sustainability

Apart from the scenic beauty of Kashmir, it is also renowned for its carpets weaving. It is a matter of pride for India Legacy. The weaving skills have been passed down by fathers to their sons, who have built upon those and in turn, handed them down to their offspring as a closely guarded family secret. A quality Kashmiri new carpet must be handmade or maybe palm knotted by 100% pure made of wool or maybe 100 % pure man-made fiber. This handicraft is unique in terms of design, cost, and quality of products. The study focuses on contemporary challenges and thereby providing suitable suggestions in order to make this handicraft more sustainable in the future. This craft is expensive, time taking, and required skilled weavers to do it. The motifs, patterns, and colors used in this art are unique apart from the weaving patterns. In the contemporary world this art cannot be applicable in its original form at every interior space. So, recreating carpets, wallpapers, fabrics used in furnishing of interiors with the motif patterns, and colors used in this could make this art sustainable. This can be the best way to add the history and memory of ancient people.

3. IoT based Electrical Power distribution through Telegram Bot and Web Cloud

The convenience of distributing electrical power and monitoring the load in homes, offices, as well as industries is very important. This enables the periodic and easy monitoring of changes or disturbances that occur in a load globally. This project monitors and controls the Electrical Power distribution system through a Telegram Bot and web cloud (Thingspeak.com). The Telegram Bot, which is available on Telegram, a social media application, is used to send commands to the electrical loads and also receive feedback in the form of a voltage (V), current (I), and Power (P) parameters. Meanwhile, the Web cloud (Thingspeak.com) is used to display the parameters in graphical or numerical form. Furthermore, the "peak to peak" method produces accurate voltage and current measurements using the ZMPT101B and ACS712 sensors. The result showed that the sensor readings are carried out alternately using a Multiplexer (Mux), to provide flexibility for another additional sensor. Therefore, the load control system is equipped with a TPR (Thyristor Power Regulator) circuit to regulate the amount of power.

5. Portable IoT based health monitoring system

In present times, the number of patients is increasing rapidly. There are many health management systems and the systems are lacking in one or other features. One of the major issues is that not all patients are treated with utmost care which can sometimes be dangerous in case of emergency or critical patients and common people cannot be able to afford the basic health monitoring system. The lack of communication between patients and the hospital staff might be there because of the patient’s health conditions, effects of medication, because they have an ongoing disability. Existing systems are digital but they aren't portable, which creates a vast problem and communication gap between hospital staff and patients. This motivates us to solve the aforementioned problems in the existing system using sensors which solve the problem of portable devices for measuring the patient health parameters and send the readings to the cloud database, these reading can be used by the doctor during patient diagnosis as the history is saved in the cloud . The proposed health management system will solve the problems related to real-time monitoring of patient’s conditions without being connected to the bed in the hospital all the time as it is simple to implement, use and cost effective.

8. An introduction to context-aware security and User Entity Behavior Analytics

A context aware system is recognized as a "system which uses any context information previous to, or in the duration of, service stipulations", whereas the main goal of this system is to identify any suspicious activity done by the users. The mobility feature of most computing and personal devices have made the 'context of the user' an important aspect of the system. Nowadays with the ever-increasing digitization of the workplace, employees are using their personal devices along with the organization resources provided to them. Context Aware security systems vary from conventional systems, as they provide unique characteristics such as name, geolocation, time of day or type of endpoint system to boost information security decisions. Combine this with a model that notifies and alienates any abnormal activity by the user, we have a strong security measure against harmful cyber activities such as unauthorized end users accessing confidential data, preventing users to download sensitive data onto external devices, and so on. Context-aware security systems address the usability challenge of accessibility and authentication, i.e., to use inferential information such as geolocation, identity, type of endpoint device, or time of day to enhance information security decisions. The use and importance of this system is increasing and therefore plays a huge role in prospective pervasive systems. The goal of this paper is to introduce the reader to the concept of context aware security and lay the groundwork that one needs to get accustomed to the topic, by extracting various topics from different research papers.

14. Removing the impurities chloride & alkalies from granulated blast furnace slag

The river sand and manufactured sand forms by the crushed rocks in millions of years. Nowadays, the reduction of river sand and manufactured sand is too fast in our environment because of our rapid construction world. So the GBFS (Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) is used at the place of river sand and manufactured sand but the presence of alkali and chloride in GBFS causes different problems like corrosion in reinforcement, react with external agents, high heat generated during the heat of hydration process and less durability. In this project, the foam separation method is adopted for removing the presence of alkali from GBFS (Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and balance the pH value of crushed slag just like river sand and manufactured sand. The alkali and chloride remove from crushed slag in the form of bubbles and floats over the surface. The pH value balanced like river sand and manufactured sand. By using the foam separation method, 99% of alkali removed from GBFS (Granulated Blast Furnace Slag). The pH value of GBFS is balanced as equal to the river sand which is approx 7.00. The external effect of rainwater and chemical attacks are protected by removing the alkali from GBFS (Granulated Blast Furnace Slag). The total weight of construction also reduces because of the less value of bulk density of slag i.e. 1200kg/m³. After this method N-A-S-H OR C-A-S-H gel substituted by the C-S-H gel which is the same as well as river sand mix concrete. Also, protect our forest soil and area which places dumped by the Slag and its harmful to the soil nutrients and also for ecosystem.

15. Autonomous Railway Track Crack Detection and Accident Prevention System

Train derailment is a predominant issue that needs to be solved, the major cause of the derailment is due to cracks and bridges on the track. To overcome this problem we have proposed an autonomous system (Robot) that uses an ultrasonic sensor with a range of 30 cm primarily based on distance measurement and density sensor to detect deeper cracks, the sensor is used to detect cracks present on the railway track by sending ultrasonic waves. As soon as the crack is detected the GPS Sensor is used to find out the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the area where the crack is detected. The detected crack along with the exact location is sent to a nearby railway station using a GSM module. These data are then sent to the cloud server which is then analysed and compared with the threshold and the cracks can be rectified on the exact location of the damage. The proposed self-governing system is a robot along with wheels and motors which are controlled by a motor driver. Here we are using an Arduino Uno Microcontroller. These sensors and modules are integrated with this Arduino UNO board. The board is uploaded with a program using the Arduino IDE to carry out the crack detection function. This board takes readings from the ultrasonic sensor and these readings are continuously stored in the cloud for analysis and it accordingly communicates with the other module to effectively detect cracks beneath the surface of the tracks and on the surface.

16. Evaluation of pectin based edible coating impregnated with mango leaf extract to reduce the post-harvest losses of tomato

The edible coating is any type of material used for enrobing, coating, or wrapping various food to extend the shelf life of the products and also to protect the fruits from microbial contamination. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a highly perishable product and it gets spoiled quickly due to various post-harvest conditions, so considering these facts our research work was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of pectin based edible coating impregnated with Mango leaf extract on the Physicochemical parameters of the produce. The present work was carried out by preparing an edible coating solution which consists of pectin (5%), glycerol (1%), Mango leaf extract (2%) and the fresh Tomato were immersed into the edible coating solution and stored under room temperature. The fruit sample was then divided into two slots T1(uncoated samples) and T2(coated samples). Both coated and uncoated tomato samples were stored under ambient temperature(30℃). The effect of pectin based edible coating impregnated with Mango leaf extract on physicochemical properties of the tomatoes were studied and recorded. A comparison was made on the physicochemical properties of the both uncoated and coated samples and results were tabulated. With the obtained results it was concluded that the prepared edible coating solution protected the sample from deterioration when compared with the uncoated samples and the shelf life of coated sample was extended to 15 days under ambient temperature.

18. An experimental study on strength and self healing characteristics of bacterial concrete

Concrete is the most commonly used building material which is recyclable. It is strong, durable, locally available and versatile. It is capable to resist the compressive load to a limit but if the load applied on the concrete is more than their limit but if the load applied on the concrete is more than their limit of resisting load, it causes the strength reduction of concrete by producing the cracks in concrete and the treatment of cracks is very expensive. Cracks in concrete affects the serviceability limit of concrete. The ingress of moisture and other harmful chemicals into the concrete may result in decrement of strength and life. Micro-cracks are the main cause to structural failure. One way to circumvent costly manual maintenance and repair is to incorporate an autonomous self -healing mechanism in concrete. One such an alternative repair mechanism is currently being studied, i.e. a novel technique based on the application of biomineralization of bacteria in concrete. The applicability of specifically calcite mineral precipitating bacteria for concrete repair and plugging of pores and cracks in concrete has been recently investigated and studies on the possibility of using specific bacteria as a sustainable and concrete-embedded self-healing agent was studied and results from ongoing studies are discussed. Synthetic polymers such as epoxy treatment etc. are currently being used for repair of concrete are harmful to the environment, hence the use of a biological repair technique in concrete is focused. Recently, it is found that microbial mineral precipitation resulting from metabolic activities of favourable microorganisms in concrete improved the overall behaviour of concrete. Hence in this paper define the bacterial concrete, its classification and types of bacteria, chemical process to fix the crack by bacteria, advantages and dis- advantages and possibilities of application of MICP (Microorganism used for Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Concrete).The different strengths of Normal concrete and concrete with different concentrations of Bacteria Bacillus spp were used and tests were conducted and compared.

19. Automotive control system using CAN protocol

Most of the accidents occur because of alcoholic people and the failure of braking systems. So this paper describes a driver's alcohol detection system based on breath sample testing and automatic control of the braking system to avoid accidents. When driver starts the ignition system, the sensor measures the concentration of alcohol into its breath and switches off the ignition system. This system is also able to control the accidents that occur due to the unconsciousness of the driver, uncontrollable speed of the vehicle, and manual operation of the braking system by applying automatic breakthrough electronics devices to minimize the accident problems. When the vehicle gets closer to any object, automatically brakes will be applied. This system helps in achieving effective communication between transmitter and receiver modules using the CAN protocol. The protocol was developed aiming at automotive application switch sensors to monitor the parameters and visualize them to the vehicle driver through an LCD display. The human drivers check the parameters in the vehicle on the LCD screen at the same time of driving and control over the vehicle.

20. A-leach in 3-dimensional wireless sensor network using gateway

Wireless Sensor Networks are those networks in which communication is carried out through a wireless channel. A sensor network is a group of specialized transducers intended to monitor and record conditions at diverse locations. These parameters are temperature, humidity, pressure, speed, intensity, vibration-sound intensity, PIV, etc. The numbers of towers in the area act as sensors are called nodes in wireless sensor networks. Thus from one node to another, communication is carried out without any physical link. A network consists of numbers of nodes with one as a source and one as a destination. This paper proposed the A-LEACH protocol and cluster member-elect cluster head to avoid excessive energy consumption. Cluster Head is responsible for creating and manipulating a TDMA schedule & sending aggregated data from nodes to the BS where this data is needed using CDMA.

24. Investing on common stocks

Stock Exchange is a critical aspect of a financial market. Shares are purchased and sold on stock exchanges. Common stock is security which represents ownership of an organization. Holders of Common stock choose the Directors and have the right to vote on company policies. Investing stock requires a close review of the financial reports to assess the true valuation of the product. Generally, this is done by examining the profit and loss account, balance sheet, and cash flow statement of the company. A simpler method to identify out about the performance of the company is to look at its financial ratios, most of which are available in this report. Although speculating is equivalent to gambling, it is not quite the same when speculators seek to make an appropriate decision regarding the future of their companies. These traders are purchasing shares with the expectation that they will only be owned for a limited amount of time before selling. Ratio analysis is important for investment decisions. It not only helps to learn how the business performed. Also, makes it easier for investors to compare the right investing option with firms in the same sector. The philosophy of diversification is one of the main principles of fund management which basically involves avoiding placing all the eggs in one basket. Investors should never have fewer than 25% or more than 75% of the assets in common stocks. A key part of value investing is making sure the assets have a margin of protection. How large a margin of safety is considered depends on a variety of variables, including market conditions, risk tolerance, and also the company's fundamental prospects. The thinner margin of safety might be accepted in special situations. Decide what you intend to do with your portfolio, and stick to it. Choose an area you're involved in, and discover the news and events that drive it every day. Identify the number of businesses or firms that dominate the market.

26. Calculation of client credit risk prediction in banking sector using data mining

The use of credit scoring can be used to assist the analysis of credit risk in assessing the eligibility of the applicant. As a valuable method for credit rating, data mining has been proven. Many credit scoring models for determining the creditworthiness of loan applicants have been established over the last few years. With an obligation to repay over a period of time, credit provides access to capital today, There may be financial sources, or they may consist of goods or services. Today, credit has become a very necessary component of daily life. Although credit cards are currently the most common type of loan, other credit plans include, among others, residential mortgages, car loans, student loans, small business loans, commercial lending, and bonds.

28. Data and key encapsulation for the smart grid using improved AES and difference expansion algorithm

Smart Grid (SG) is an advanced electrical power grid. SG collects the user’s smart meter data over the public network. After that, based on the data, generate the bills, and predict the electricity demand. The data contains sensitive information about users. Thus, the privacy of the users is required for better assessment. To preserve the privacy of the user, symmetric cryptography algorithms are used. In the symmetric algorithm, the same key is required for encryption/decryption purposes. Thus, the key is communicated to the receiver with the encrypted data. Thus, it is prone to eavesdropping and tampering attacks. Therefore, in this paper, we have designed data and key encapsulation algorithm that secure the data as well as the key. We have used the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for data security and difference expansion algorithm for key security. Further, to reduce the encryption time of data encryption, software optimization algorithms used. Next, the encrypted data bits read, and a difference expansion algorithm is applied on it to hide the key bits in the encrypted data. The advantage of the difference expansion algorithm is that the original encrypted data bits recover with key bits extraction. The experimental results show that the data and key encapsulation takes less execution time, provide better security as compared to the existing algorithm.

30. Smart garbage monitoring system using IoT

A big challenge is urban cities is the garbage collection process. The garbage collecting authority or the municipal corporation peoples in the traditional waste management system doesn’t know about the level of garbage in the dustbin, if the dust bins get full by garbage then it gets overflowed as well as spelled out from the dustbin leading to an unhygienic condition in cities. Even if the dust bin is overloaded by garbage peoples throws the garbage on that dustbin. Because of that overflowed dustbin and the spelled garbage, bad smell arises also it leads to unhygienic conditions in many cities. Sometimes due to unclean dustbins, some toxic gases may produce and which will support to air pollution. Also, some harmful diseases may spread. It is very bad to look at the city. Due to which unhygienic condition occurs. The use of traditional system result in inefficient and time and money spending systems. So the concept of the Smart Garbage Monitoring System is implemented in cities. Where the rate of production of garbage or waste is high but efforts put to control the garbage management are very less. In order to overcome this many issues stated above smart garbage monitoring system using IoT will help.

32. Study on the impact of COVID-19 on public transport ridership

India's public transport systems are among most heavily used in the world. Public transport is the primary mode of road transport for most of the citizens of India. This Covid-19 crisis has crippled all sectors of the economy across the world. One of the worst affected sector by this pandemic is public transport. During the lockdown, the bus services, metro, trains as well as flights were completely stopped by the Government of India. Nobody was allowed to travel even in private vehicles as it would have increased the risk of infection until and unless it was very important. Now, since the public transport operators are allowed to resume their services, they are focussing on how to overcome the losses they have met during this lockdown period. This lockdown has hit them seriously as people are concerned about their safety and moving out and travelling. This paper represents how much loss the public transport sector has faced during lockdown due to corona virus disease-2019 and what measures should public transport operators has to take to recover their loss.

33. Modern algorithm of neural networks

This paper deals with researches and literature reviews on Deep Neural Network. In the area of biometrics, identification, access- control, enforcement, digital identification, surveillance devices and face recognition (FR), defining the technique of human beings using facial imaging, is a multitude of hands-on applications. Coevolutionary neural networks (Cov-Nets) have proved to be efficient for FR, a type of deep networks. Any pre-processing procedures, such as sampling, must be taken for real-time systems prior to use in Cov-Nets. However, full images (all pixel values) are also transferred to Cov-Nets as input and all steps are performed by the network (feature collection, function filtering, training). That's why Cov-Nets is always difficult and time-consuming to introduce. Cov-Nets are at a rising level, with very little precision, but they have a high potential reach. This paper offers a new perspective on the use of a deep neural network for facial recognition. A new approach is being developed in this paper. In this approach, facial features that are extracted are provided as input instead of raw pixel values. This decreases the complexity and gives the Yale data set quality of 97.05 percent.

41. Pounding Analysis of Adjacent Structures

The aim of this study is to correlate the seismic performance of a RC frame structure at different seismic demand levels with the separation gap that would be inadequate against pounding with an adjacent structure. In this direction nonlinear direct integration seismic analyses have been performed. This study includes the evaluation of the storey (floor to floor) and inter-storey (floor to column) pounding problem at fifteen seismic demand levels, using for each level 2 seismic excitations that have been properly scaled. The seismic performances of the structures without the pounding effect have also been evaluated. The results of the assessment indicate that: (a) Adjacent structure with same stories and equal storey height behaves same as no pounding structures. (b) at all the examined levels of the seismic demand, the local performance of the external column of the tall building that suffers the impact from the upper floor slab of the adjacent shorter structure is the most important issue in the inter-storey pounding phenomenon. (c)The taller structure suffers whiplash effect when pounds on adjacent shorter structure. Thereafter, the minimum required gap distance against pounding between the adjacent structures has been estimated taking into account two different criteria: (a) avoidance of the shear failure in the critical column that suffers the hit and (b) complete avoidance of the contact between the adjacent structures. The separation gap is evaluated at all the seismic demand levels for both pounding cases. In comparison to the IS 1893:2002 provisions the results of this study indicate less conservative separation gap distances between the adjacent structures at different levels of seismic demand.

44. Case study on Communication Barriers: Ethical Issues

The telecom giant Vodafone Idea had been in troubled waters in the recent past, with its long term viability in jeopardy. In November 2019, at a press conference, Vodafone CEO Nick Read said that Vodafone India’s future was precarious owing to the bludgeoning of taxes and penalties by the government. It was ironical that this statement was made, a day before the Prime Minister stated that India was a land of rapid growth with a plethora of investment opportunities. Subsequently, Vodafone India reported a loss of over 500,000 million, the very next day, one of India’s largest corporate losses ever for Q2. With an already prevailing slump in telecom industry, such a statement could have led to mistrust among the employees, stakeholders, investors, etc. Later, he apologised for the apprehensions caused due to, what he termed - out-of-context reporting. He further added that he was merely reiterating the general opinion but the outrage was already committed. This episode threw light on the repercussions of tactless communication, regardless of the accuracy and truthfulness of the information. Should Nick Read have refrained from making such statements on a global platform or is honesty always the best policy?

45. Comparative analysis of the grid-connected solar system using neutral point clamped and cascaded H-bridge ML

Advancement in power electronic devices has developed a class of MLI which is very efficient for the grid-connected operation of the PV system. MLIs have a higher number of output voltage levels as compared to the two/three levels in traditional inverters. The advantage of MLIs is its staircase-like output waveform, which resembles more closely to sinusoidal waveform than the traditional inverters; hence THD is very low. In the proposed work comparative analysis of 5-level neutral point clamped (NPC) and cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) MLI is designed for grid integration of the PV system. The performance analysis has been carried out under the condition of constant as well as variable irradiance for a three-phase system to obtain low THD and high efficiency.

48. Strategies for integrating Open Access Resources (OAR) into libraries collections: A study

The study’s general purpose is to assist both management and collection development practitioners in adopting appropriate strategies for integrating OA materials into libraries collections. The study was designed to specifically examine the challenges to the integration of OAR into libraries collections and to explore relevant strategies for the integration. The study utilized an online survey questionnaire sent to Seventy Eight collections development staff drawn from academic libraries, Library Boards, and special libraries for completion. Sixty Two (62) however, were completed and returned. This implies 79.4% return rate. All the respondents surveyed are members of the Nigerian Library Association (NLA), and are certified by the Librarians Registration Council of Nigeria (LRCN). The respondents were drawn from Federal university Libraries (7), State university libraries (6), private university libraries (22), federal polytechnic libraries (5), state polytechnic libraries (12), college libraries (5), special libraries (2), library boards (3). The survey instrument included Eleven (11) items. Data were analysed using graphical charts. The findings indicate that majority of the library do not acquire OAR, but have plans to make them part of their regular library acquisition workflows; majority of them strongly agree that collection development policy is key to OAR integration, but they don’t have the document for now, neither are their staff trained to manage OA effectively. Their major challenge to OAR integration include poor electricity supply, lack of knowledge and skills required for OA integration, and lack of support from the head librarian, lack of collection development policy document. The recommendations include that collection development policy should be put in place; library staff should be equipped with relevant skills through training and retraining; libraries should rather than purchasing expensive books and journals download OAR relevant to them, process them and make them available to their users as part of their collections; Libraries should be provided with uninterrupted fast speed internet access and power supply from solar power.

49. An overview on material and shape of crash box influence on the evaluation of the impact energy absorption capacity during a vehicle collision.

Foldable encroachment is the absorbers of energy playing a very crucial role in the protection of automotive components being damaged during any dispute. Any sort of disputes among the two objects leads to damage to one of the objects or in some cases both of the objects. Such damages can be scratches, fractures, or minor cracks. The designers should know about the behavior of the object or the type of material and how it will react under encroachment events. Different forms of energy absorbers with foldable encroachment are formed because of these factors. For the last few years, numerous experiments have been carried out to develop such foldable encroachment energy absorbers. This paper illustrates the studies carried out on typical shapes and actions of foldable encroachment energy absorbers as well as its under encroachment behavior high axial strain. Literature is discussed in-depth focused on experiments and study of the impact of various parameters of the geometry on crushing behavior testing the behaviors of such energy absorbers. An energy absorber might have multiple formations like square tubes, circular tube, or frustums of pyramids and cones. Studies on dynamics of crushing, modes of deformation, the capacity of energy-absorbance, the impact on the maximum, and mean crushing stress are the factors used to detect the crushing actions of the energy absorber. The present work aims to cover significant data from previous research of such parameters showing the behavior. Although the maximum of the studies conducted on the metallic energy absorbers, the main focus is on including the studies which made use of FML member, composite tube, FGT Tube, and the honeycomb plate in the form as a foldable encroachment energy absorber.

Investors are expecting peer-to-peer transactions as it is easy to pay or transfer. Most of the investors think that Bitcoin is a Security and not a commodity. Investors say that investment in Cryptocurrencies shall affect traditional investments like equity and debt. Investors think that RBI should regulate Cryptocurrencies through stock exchanges. If Cryptocurrencies are legalized then there would be a revolution in the Indian market. Cryptocurrencies. Though people are ready to invest on Cryptocurrencies, they do not have complete knowledge about Block chain Technology. Most of the investors are aware of Cryptocurrencies, but they have not traded or mined Cryptocurrencies. Investors are expecting to hedge their risk on Bitcoin through futures contracts. People do not think Cryptocurrencies can be used as a payment method at retailer stores. Cryptocurrencies are non-government and investors like to trade, so the government should legalize cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies should not be made as a tangible asset, else it would lose its existence and demand. Cryptocurrencies are liked more by investors when they are found by Indian companies, so Indian Cryptocurrencies should be traded. Cryptocurrencies should enable retail transactions for better use. Transactions in Cryptocurrencies are still considered unsafe as the prices are high volatility. The government of India has not officially authorized the use of Bitcoin despite its significant demand by the people. Indian investors are keen to invest in IndianCryptocurrencies. Though people are ready to invest in Cryptocurrencies, they do not have complete knowledge about Block chain technology. Most of the investors are aware of Cryptocurrencies, but they have not traded or mined Cryptocurrencies. Investors are expecting to hedge their risk on Bitcoin through futures contracts.

52. Alternative usage of stone dust and ceramic waste and minimization of cost of construction materials

Observing the results, strength aspects of ceramic waste aggregate concrete is well within the permissible limits and ideal replacement level of ceramic waste is 20% and 40%.Water absorption of ceramic waste aggregate was 0.18% higher than that of natural aggregate (0.10%), due to the opening of pore structure during crushing and chiselling. Even after crushing and chiselling, few cracks were observed on surface of ceramic waste. For these reasons water absorption was little more than that of the natural aggregate. The 3 and 28 days compressive strength was found to range from 24.57-43.33N/mm2 for different mixes respectively. The above strength properties were found to compare closely with normal concrete. The proportion of 17% natural sand to 24% quarry dust produced higher values of compressive strength. For the same proportion of 17% natural sand and 24% quarry dust at 1:1.41:2.38 mix and 0.47 water/cement ratio, a logarithmic model has been developed for predicting the compressive strength of concrete between 0 and 28 days.

55. Disaster Management – Planning and Mitigation

It is quite widely recognized that in many third world countries, disaster mitigation programmes implemented by government agencies suffer from a series of defects and distortions. These include failure to address vulnerability, failure to involve people, and susceptibility to manipulation. The casual attitude towards the natural disasters whether recurrent ones or non-recurrent ones is an intricate manifestation of an internal hope people have about their lives and homes, combined with a lack of understanding of physical relations that control the severity, magnitude and intensity regarding the development of natural disasters. And hence, mitigation of natural disasters should properly be planned and monitored with the main objectives of better preparedness for meeting any situation in terms of relief, rescue and rehabilitation.

57. Use of vulcanized rubber in concrete as a partial replacement of coarse aggregates

One of the recommended solutions to solve this environmental problem is to incorporate rubber aggregates resulting from cutting worn tyres in the cement concretes .On this subject, several studies concerning the use of rubber aggregates resulting from crushing worn tyres were carried out. These research works showed that the benefits of associating rub- beer-concrete with high deformability and on the durability of these composites. Moreover, the benefit which we can gain from using the cement concretes for the roadways makes us think about multiplying the studies on the cement composites that incorporate rubber aggregates since the rigidity of the cement concretes can make it possible either to decrease the granular layer necessary to the asphalt road- way or to allow the use of less resistant concretes. This is the case with the use of concretes having a considerable part of rubber aggregates resulting from worn tyres. Even though there are many sustainable destinies for used tyres, the construction industry has shown little understanding of the potential of this waste. However, a number of promising possibilities have been emerging that have some weight in the market: asphalt, kinder- garden and sports area pavements, impact barriers on roads, and breakwaters. These applications prove how interesting it is to pursue new research fields that could show how end- of-life tyres can be reused competitively in the sector.

61. Prospects of pilgrims tourism in Biswanath and Gohpur sub-division, Biswanath District, Assam

Tourism is emerging as an important global industry in the 21st and for the last four decades or so a tourism revolution has been sweeping the world. As compared to other parts of our country, Assam is in a unique position with regard to the choices it can offer to a tourist, simply because of her diversity of culture, green natural beauty, and environment. Apart from living in the lap of nature, the State also has a rich heritage and offers the erudite and even the ordinary traveler a fascinating glimpse into the pages of Indian history and its mystical religious centers. Religion is an emotional and very much sensitive subject for men ever. Almost all the major religion of the world has its own mysteries, wonders, myth, and facts which restricts and controls men for a continuation of a better life and spiritual upliftment. Like many other parts of Assam, Gohpur and Biswanath sub-division in Sonitpur district are the two places of assimilation of diverse ethnic people with rich cultural life. In both the sub-divisions, there are a number of mystical religious places wherein lies the good prospect of pilgrims’ tourism. Among these Biswanath Ghat, Gangmou Than, Kalyanee Than, Basudev Doul, Kam-Dewal, Bor-Kalika Than, and few others have the historical importance and deep religious faith for the local people. The main fact is that, until today, no significant planning approach has been taken up to develop these tourist destinations. It is because of the ignorance and negligence, these places of good prospects are still depriving of wide recognition and due importance. This paper attempts to draw the attention of the people of our country to enjoy the spiritual food and to invite interest and thereby make the places as source and centre for pilgrims tourism.

64. Capital Punishment

Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is a government-sanctioned practice whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The phrase 'capital punishment' comes from the Latin word for the head. A 'corporal' punishment is carried under due process of law. Capital punishment is a matter of active controversy in several countries and states, and positions can vary within a single political ideology or cultural region. Amnesty International holds that the death penalty breaches human rights, in particular the right to life and the right to live free from torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. Both rights are protected under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN in 1948.

70. Gandhian philosophy: Relevance in the contemporary world (Ethics and Ethics through Gandhism)

Mahatma Gandhi was a free-spirited Karmayogi and a true man in true sense. Gandhi’s has acquired a unique place in the proud congregation of those great teachers and preachers who have given a new light to the field of education. An unbiased study of Gandhi's ideas related to education and morality proves that these ideas are the starting point of education theory and practice. Gandhi’s considered character-building the goal of all knowledge. They call a citizen with the high moral character the power of the nation. Therefore, firstly the goal of education should be to develop morality. Gandhi’s used to emphasize the purity of the means for achieving the goal. In his view, developing the best character can be useful for the development of the country. Their influence has not only been limited to India but also read on other countries. Today, the whole world is established and marching towards a society without class and all are eager to enter the wide spectrum of religion. Many of his rules apply worldwide and they can never be outdated. His rule of non-violence was as relevant to India as it is for the rest of the world even today, for which the whole world conference and agreements etc. are trying in some form. The morality that Gandhi’s wanted to explain to the world was humanity. He insisted on a human being to become human. Gandhi's ethics is going on even after 150 years of his birth because his philosophical thought is based on the ground of behavior. The essence of his life can be understood in 5 great words Truth, Non-violence, Satyagraha, Fearlessness and God.

71. A study on demographic parameters sex ratio and literacy rate of scheduled caste people of Maharashtra : Census-2011 statistical approach

Caste is an important factor in Indian social system. From ancient times, the caste is a factor which is considered a standard for ascertaining identity of each person. The nature of social, cultural, economic and political is decided on the basis of caste system. Hence, caste system is an undivided factor of Indian social structure and it is the basis of Indian social structure.. Over the time, Varna system and caste system were generated in India and Indian society got blocked in Varna and caste system. The constitution of India is enriched with several provisions for schedule caste and schedule tribes to safeguard and promote their cultural, social, educational, economic and political interests in order to bring them in mainstream of the nation. This paper aims to study the demographic parameters sex ratio and literacy rate in SC’s of Maharashtra state of India. In Maharashtra there are total 59 Scheduled caste as per census-2011.Findings of this study was Mahar caste recorded higher population as compare with other. SC’s sex ratio become higher than state sex ratio. But the SC’s literacy rate 69.94 was much lower than state literacy rate which is 82.34. The Female situation of SC’s community was very critical which is shows that because of female and in SC’s they can not take any education .These community needs more educational policies from government to uplift there social and economical condition. Spearman rank correlation coefficient shows that there is strong relationship between sex ratio and literacy rate.

74. Development of empirical correlation for predicting in-situ pavement layer moduli as an alternative to backcalculation analysis

Pavement backcalculation process is mathematically an indeed complex inverse problem that can be approached deterministically or probabilistically for the realistic estimation of pavement layer moduli using nondestructive testing devices. Non- destructive devices like Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and Lightweight deflectometer (LWD) are mostly used in pavement evaluation and construction practices. LWD device is frequently used as a quality control and quality assurance for unbound layers. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a simple empirical equation for estimating three layers thin asphalt pavement (≤ 1.96 inches, 50 mm) moduli values using 33.06 lbs (15 kg) and 44.09lbs (20 kg) falling weight with radial geophones deflections data. An empirical equation was developed using multi linear regression analysis after computing the LWD surface deflections for a large number of pavement structures loaded over (300 mm) 12-inch diameter contact area. Developed empirical equations were validated using conventional KGPBACK, Genetic Algorithm based backcalculation software. The pavement layer moduli predicted from the developed correlations were compared with the KGPBACK results. Results depicts that the variation of layer moduli values are minimal. Thus an empirical equation can be used for estimating pavement layer moduli by eliminating the use of backcalulation software for estimating layer moduli for low volume roads during the structural evaluation process.

81. Analysis of geogrid reinforced pond ash embankment using finite element method

The Pond Ash sample was collected from the ash pond site of Raj ghat thermal power station, Delhi, soil was collected from NIT campus, Srinagar and the lime was procured from the open market in the form of quick lime. This lime was then mixed with pond ash, by weight (= 9%) (Gupta et al, 2013).Further, in the present work an experimental program was carried out to characterize the materials and strength tests were performed to study the behaviour of pond ash mixed with lime; the results shows that in the presence of moisture, pond ash chemically reacts with lime at ordinary temperature and forms cementations material which is attributed to the increase in strength of pond ash. Numerical analysis was performed using the FEM based software PHASE2 (Roc science). Results divulge that use of full length of geogrid covering whole width of embankment increases the critical strength reduction factor (SRF) of embankment at steeper slope inclination. Also, the application of either geogrids layers or pond ash-lime mix layer, results in safer designs in comparison to unreinforced pond ash embankment.

83. Prediction of a mammogram mass as benign or malignant

This paper is about comparing several different supervised machine learning techniques to the “mammographic masses” public data set from the UCI repository, and see which one yields the highest accuracy as measured with K-Fold cross validation (K=10 A lot of needless pain and surgery occurs from the subsequent false positives of mammogram performance. If we can create a better way of understanding them through supervised machine learning, it will make many lives easier .We have applied Decision tree, Random forest, KNN, Naive Bayes, SVM, Logistic Regression and also neural network using Keras. The data was cleaned as many rows were contain missing data, and as there were erroneous data identifiable as outliers as well. Some techniques such as SVM that we have employed requires the input data to be normalized first. Many techniques also had "hyperparameters" that had to be tuned. So here we have approached a better way to make it even better by tuning its hyperparameters.

84. Prominence of Sandalwood (white and red) handicraft in the interiors with respect to aromatherapy

India being the hub for divine wooden handicrafts due to the rare plant species grown here like Santalum album (Sandalwood) and Pterocarpus santalinus (Red sanders) which come under tropical trees are the most valuable and sacred trees associated with the culture, tradition and medicine; Sandalwood’s treasured aroma is extracted from tree’s heartwood and also it is one of the finest natural materials for carving. Since ancient times the traditional way to extract the sandalwood paste is with the help of sacred rubbing stone and sandalwood smoke is by burning the incense sticks in sacred metal or mud burners for medicine and traditional rituals. Taking the concept from the traditional process of extracting; some of interior elements shall be created to spread the aroma of Santalum album into the interiors from the passages of traditional Jharokhas(stone oriel window) and Mashrabiya(wooden oriel window) on the other side creating interior elements like 3d layered wall murals, side brackets, wall brackets, carved pelmets, etc. with Pterocarpus santalinus. As it is the most costly wood, 3d layered wall murals are designed with ombre effect instead of solid wall murals by using less material for a larger space which makes it cost effective and gives an insight for sustainability and these most exquisite sandalwood carvings are made by skilled craftsman cast in situ to prevent damage due to transport.

89. A disease prediction system based on Machine Learning algorithms and ensembles using real-time data gathered through wearable medical sensors

Even with an Annual expenditure $ 8.2 billion (F.Y. 2018-19), Indian healthcare system is far from being affordable and accessible. While the economic development has been gaining momentum since the last decade, India needs major reforms in existing healthcare system. Technology has an important role to play in streamlining the health infrastructure. A Disease prediction system has been proposed to address various deficiencies and provide affordable, readily-available and cost-effective healthcare. The proposed system can effectively predict life threatening diseases like Diabetes and Heart Disease. The system has been implemented by using Machine Learning Algorithms and enhanced to be more accurate than the existing systems. The system is backed by robust Machine Learning Algorithms and ensembles that will predict presence/absence of the diseases accurately. Accurate analysis of medical data benefits early disease detection, patient care and community services. To overcome the difficulty of incomplete data, the system uses Wearable Medical Sensors to gather Real-time data and make prediction based on the collected data. Presently, we demonstrate the system for two diseases but it can be scaled for tackling more diseases. The Disease Prediction system will not only reduce the burden on existing healthcare and diagnosis system but also provide personalized medication.

94. A methodology towards securing a web portal using XML encryption

An online shopping system permits a costumer to submit online orders for items from a store . A Web portal acts as a gateway to the internet. Web portals provide a single point of access to a variety of content and core services, and offer a single sign-on point. The main challenge for online shopping portals is to provide security for the transactions involved. Customers, usually need to enter their crucial information like credit card number, debit card number etc. to buy products. Today most of the shopping portals use Secured Socket Layer (SSL) to transfer crucial data .This system was capable of providing good end-to-end security. But, it is unable to encrypt only a small part of the stored information; so a large cipher text is generated. To overcome this issue , new system is proposed here, which makes use of XML Encryption to provide security for transactions by generating a compact cipher text, which is transferred over the net as an XML document file. In this paper work the development of secured web portal is undertaken. Online shopping portals are new way for marketing hence must be designed in a creative but simple manner so that it is easy for the users to transact from it. There is need to analyse this new player by applying XML encryption which provides end-to-end security for applications that require secure exchange of structured data.

103. Financial literacy among the youth- A conceptual review

Financial literacy is the sum total of various skills, aptitudes and abilities required to make sense of financial phenomena & take sound financial decisions. It is a very important concept in the present times. The world that we witness today is a much different one than the one occupied by our elders. Even though many things have managed to remain the same, many more have changed rapidly. Accompanying these rapid changes are the growing complexity in the way in which thigs work, for eg; the financial system. Just consider the following; 1. More and more youngsters are conscious about considering retirement planning since early on, as they know they have to fend for themselves past their retirement age. 2. More than ever before, youngsters today need to think of their income as a limited economic resource, which has unlimited demands, many alternative uses, considerable opportunity cost & their spending behaviour can have long term, irrevocable consequences. 3. We, as a country, over the past decade are slowly but surely shifting from a nation of savers to that of spenders, with more and more youngsters being comfortable with credit cards & term loans for acquiring a variety of consumer goods. 4. The financial system, too, has never been more flabbergasting, with a plethora of investment & insurance products (who often intermingle) to choose from & advisors of all classes & pedigree vying for a chance to manage other’s money for them, for a fee, ofcourse. 5. Easy access to & low barriers in financial markets of all types, terms, sizes & shapes have attracted many youngsters to take part in them, irrespective of these youngsters’ understanding thereof & expertise therein. It is very easy to fumble and make mistakes in such a scenario, if one is not well equipped with the necessary skills and abilities to make sense of & then harness all the data & information, often easily & abundantly available, to make sound financial decisions. Often, such mistakes have been known to have long term, even permanent, ramifications. It is evident from the large number of youngsters and even middle aged people still struggling pay off their student loan arrears & make sense of their burgeoning credit card debt. Considering this, it probably wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider financial literacy a valuable life skill. Measuring relevant parameters is the first logical step towards solving a problem. In order to understand whether the youngsters of today possess necessary skills, aptitudes & abilities to make sound financial decisions, we first need to measure their current level of financial literacy & identify the various determinants & influencing factors in financial decision-making process, as engaged in by the youth. This is an endeavour which will aid the various stakeholders (policy makers, educators, parents, youngsters, banks & other financial institutions, regulators, etc) to undertake necessary policy interventions, create effective educational programs, develop relevant financial products and effectively train the next generation of decision makers to make better financial decisions. Also, relevant research gaps need to be explored in order to undertake future research. The current research paper is an attempt in that direction.

105. Web chat: Interactive application for disabled people

The world wide web (WWW)is one of the most important resources available which can be used to deliver information to any part of the world. Information can be made available in interactive ways. There are different forms of these resources such as education, employment, government, e-commerce, recreation, health care, and many more. It is also important that the Web can be accessible to everyone and everywhere, so websites should be developed in such a way that even the people who have disabilities should be able to make use of it. An accessible web can help disabled people to participate in many social activities and not make them feel omitted. Accessible websites are often the best way to interact with people with disabilities. So, this project aims at developing a chat bot which can help visually disabled people to browse through the website and learn about their products like any normal person.

110. Review of laboratory studies on performance of cold max asphalt using different additives

In the current study, the focus was made on upgrading or modifying the cold mix asphalt (CMA) to a stage where the mechanical properties of CMA are comparable to traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA). Additives like cement and/or lime or waste materials (by-products) could be used within the mixtures to improve the mechanical properties, like indirect tensile stiffness modulus, resistance to permanent deformation, creep stiffness. Cold mix asphalt (CMA) with comparable engineering properties to hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is a breakthrough in laying of asphalt, particularly because these require no heat within the manufacturing and, the rutting and structural resistance to distress that occurs in road pavement and life span of pavements can indeed be enhanced. Many research projects have seen major developments in the hot laying process. The key goal is to create and refine a high-performance CMA mixture for use as a surface track that can be used in any scenario instead of hot mix asphalt (HMA). Because of these changes mix technology. Cold mix technology lags behind in both the fields of science and implementation, which is very evident in India. It is the main justification that underlies the option of the said CMA as current research area. In fact, this also provides benefits for the environment and economic benefits as compared to HMA.

116. Survey on nurses perception on care of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of illness, death, disability and socio-economic damage in India and other developing countries. Each year, approximately 1.5–1.7 million people are neurologically disabled due to TBI in India. Nurses are health professionals who see the full impact of TBI and have the skills to change a patient's recovery path. Nurses have a large role to play in the acute and chronic management of patients with moderate-to-severe TB because nurses are important members of interdisciplinary teams. Nurses have a lot of responsibilities in caring for these patients at all stages of treatment and recovery. Methods: The research approach adopted for the study was cross-sectional, exploratory design to determine nurses’ perceptions about care for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). As samples, 120 Staff nurses were selected through purposive sampling technique at PESIMSR Hospital inkpad, Andhra Pradesh. The collected data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of Frequencies, Percentage distribution and chi-square test. Results: majority of the samples were 26-30 years old, female, undergraduates, critical care nurses, had 2.1-5 years of working experience and had no specific training regarding TBI patient care. Majority of the nurses had moderate knowledge and high level of confidence on care of TBI patients. The perceived confidence of nurses at PESIMSR hospital on care of TBI patients was significantly higher than their perceived knowledge. Age, professional qualification and professional experience of nurses had significant association with their perceptions. Conclusion: Results of this study suggested enhancing the knowledge of critical care and emergency room nurses through additional education and training on evidence-based TBI care.

117. Using ensemble random forest, boosting and base classifiers to ameliorate prediction of students’ academic performance

In recent time, educational data mining (EDM) has received substantial considerations. Many techniques of data mining have been proposed to dig out out-of-sight knowledge in educational data. The Knowledge obtained assists the academic institutions to further enhance their process of learning and methods of passing knowledge to students. Education Data Mining have been playing substantial role in predicting student’s academic performance. In this study, a novel student’s performance prediction model premised on techniques of data mining with Students’ Essential Features (SEF). Students’ Essential Features (SEF) are linked to the learner’s interactivity with the e-learning management system. The performance of student’s predictive model is assessed by set of classifiers, viz. Bayes Network, Logistic Regression and REP Tree. Consequently, ensemble methods of Boosting and Random Forest using WEKA as an Open Source Tool are applied to improve the performance of these single classifiers. The results obtained reveal that there is a robust affinity between learner’s behaviours and their academic attainment. Results from the study shows that REP Tree and its ensemble record the highest accuracy of 83.33% using SEF. Hence, in terms of Receiver Operating Curve (ROC), boosting method of REP Tree records 0.903, which is the best. This result further demonstrates the dependability of the proposed model.

118. Encroaching the legislative field? Purposivism v. Textualism in practice: A clear distinction or a convergence of theories: Analysis of Cardozo’s Methods of statutory interpretation

The Judge laws down the law, is a statement that is more often that not under dispute. Interpretation of States has a wider connotation and an impressive history situated in the common law tradition. In certain events the judges interpret the statute as it means i.e. to the text and at others wherein there exist legislative discrepancies the judges interpret the law as per individual judicial discretion. The statement the Judge laws down the law is under dispute because it is the task of the legislative to draft the laws of a nation and that of the judiciary to implement in practice. The idea of judicial law-making albeit not ideal to separation of powers has seen a growth in recent times. This paper aims in delimiting judicial discretion as explained by Benjamin Cardozo in several of his works. While judicial discretion prima facie cannot be disputed upon but there exist limits to such discretion. This paper primarily focuses upon textualism and purposivism in the interpretation of statutes. As different they are, they also need to co-exist and operate separately at times for the functioning of the judicial machinery.

119. Cotton plant disease detection

Agriculture is one of the major sectors of the Indian economy and food security. Agriculture needs to find new ways to improve efficiency, production and yields. Approximately 30-35% of the yield gets affected by pests and diseases. The reason it happens is because these diseases are detected at a late stage which gets difficult to control. Hence, advancement in image processing technology and automated learning plays an important role in plant disease detection especially image processing and machine learning. On the other hand, manually detecting diseases in plants needs a tremendous amount of work, expertise and is very expensive because of the involvement of an expert or a plant pathologist. This paper majorly focuses on the need for a solution for early detection of cotton plant diseases, the diseases of cotton and their characteristics, different challenges farmers face while cultivating cotton and while identifying diseases in them, and the step by step technical approaches being used for the detection of cotton plant diseases. There is a lot scope in the advancement of technologies to improve the production by detecting and providing solutions to the farmers on an urgent basis.

120. Skew recognition

Skew detection has been an important part of the document recognition system. If the document includes the skew it will be difficult for reader to read the document. In the proposed work, new techniques that detecting the angle of skewed document. The main advantage is that the method works on all types of scripts. These techniques successfully handle the skew detection and correction of the printed and handwritten document. The detection and correction of document skew is one of the most important document image analysis steps. Page layout analysis and pre-processing operations used for character recognition depend on an upright image or, at least, knowledge of the angle of skew. A few methodologies have been proposed as choices for skew point identification of document images. Profile project technique is a popular method for skew detection. It is capable of locating fragmented lines in a binary image. Therefore given a group of black pixels, one can find the imaginary line or lines that go through the maximum number of these pixels. Existing techniques doesn’t work for images in which there is unequal space patterns in between the lines. Existing techniques cannot detect the skew in multiscript documents. Existing system is not capable of detecting correcting the upward and downward skew together in a single text document. Existing system Rotate the whole document at once to correct the skew from the given text document. A lot of work is required to be done in context of skew detection and correction for multiscript text images. These problems are required to be solved to make use of the system in the real world applications. The proposed system for skew detection and correction is implemented with the help of scan line algorithm along with hough transformation algorithm. Proposed system works on the document in line by line basis i.e. detect and correct the skew of every line independently. It can work on the documents having multiple scripts on it. It can detect and correct the skew from the documents even if there is an unequal space in between the two adjacent lines. It will rotate the document on line by line basis to correct the skew from the given document. Detects and correct the upward and downward skew together in the single text document. The major problem with the existing systems was that they just rotate the entire document in the reverse direction of the angle detected to remove the skew but the proposed system process the document on the line by line basis using scan line algorithm and skew angle is detected with the help of hough transformation. The performance of the proposed system is calculated on various images having different types of skew in them. The overall accuracy of the proposed system is 98% which is far better than that of existing system. In future the proposed system can be extended for coloured images and other types of documents. Proposed system can also be extended to made it for word level skew detection and correction to get more accuracy.

121. JK Tyres positive impact of its corporate social responsibility activities on beneficiaries

It is revealed from the data that JK Tyres Ltd Mysuru has conducted training on hygiene and water management for the beneficiaries of this particular scheme but it is revealed from the analysis that 38 percent of the respondents were not at all aware of the training program conducted by the company. About 5 percent of the respondents did not attend the training program due to their personal reasons though they were aware of the training program. It is revealed from the study that the majority of the respondents when asked to rate the usage of toilet under various aspects like effective operation, convenience, cleanliness, smell, and ease of repair rated good which gives the meaning that they are happy with the benefit they have received., During the study, it was revealed that many families migrated newly to the villages where the toilets were constructed and the new migrant families have not received the facilities. Respective authorities can think of considering those families in the coming FY and provide them with the needful. It is revealed from the data that about 38 percent of the respondents were not aware of the training program, respective authorities must see to it that all the beneficiaries will receive the information regarding the activities. The researcher while interacting with the respondents found that there were more people in a few houses and they had only one toilet. Respective authorities can think of providing them with the alternatives. It is found during the analysis that many houses did not have a direct water facility to their toilets. While giving the benefits authorities can consider providing such additional facilities as well. Many of the beneficiaries requested street lights and water tanks in their villages. The authorities can consider these as well while planning the Corporate Social Responsibility activities in the coming financial years.

126. Is it too early to worry about Artificial Intelligence takeover?

The high pacing advancement in the field of technology, especially Artificial Intelligence is becoming a cause of worry to human existence. It is nerve-racking to hear some top researchers, scientists, and leaders talk about the possibility of Artificial Intelligence taking over human intelligence leading to the possibility of technological singularity. It is also known that Eugene Goostman is the very first robot who has passed the Turing Test, though this statement holds a lot of controversies and is ambiguous; it is high time to take the threats that AI possesses to humanity seriously. The human beings will be replaced more and more with robots leading to humanity reach its not so bright apex. This paper focuses on the multiple hypotheses on AI, its threats, and why sometimes it is necessary to give some attention to science fiction.
