2. Machine learning for 5G technology

The deployment of 4G / LTE mobile networks has solved the big challenge of creating high-capacity mobile real broadband internet. This was made possible mainly by the strong physical level and the flexible network architecture. In addition, there is a strong demand for high reliability and almost zero latency of mobile networks with other new services. Such as vehicle communication or vehicle internet. 5G has overcome some of these challenges. In addition, the adoption of software defense networks and the virtualization of network functions have added greater flexibility to operators, allowing operators to support high-demand services from a variety of vertical markets. It is also necessary to predict its evolution in order to create a network that can be actively and effectively (self-measuring). This chapter explains the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in creating cost-effective and relevant next-generation mobile networks in 5G and later mobile networks. Some of the practical applications of AI / ML in the network life cycle are discussed.

4. Finger dorsal pattern

This paper investigates a new approach for personal authentication using finger dorsal pattern imaging. The texture pattern produced by the finger knuckle bending is highly unique and makes the surface a distinctive biometric identifier. The finger geometry features can be simultaneously acquired from the same image at the same time and integrated to further improve the user-identification accuracy of such a system. The finger-back surface images from each user are normalized to minimize the scale, translation, and rotational variations in the knuckle images. This paper details the development of such an approach using peg-free imaging. The experimental results from the proposed approach are promising and confirm the usefulness of such an approach for personal authentication.

5. Cognitive ability among LD and normal adolescents

In psychology, cognitive ability refers to aptitude for carrying out mental processes, such as problem-solving, adaptation, comprehension, reasoning, knowledge acquisition, abstract thought, and making connections. In education, cognitive ability is considered a foundation for learning. Learning Disabilities” refers to a variety of disorders that affect the acquisition, retention, understanding, organization, or use of verbal and/or non-verbal information. These disorders result from impairments in one or more psychological processes related to learning, in combination with otherwise average abilities essential for thinking and reasoning. Learning disabilities are specific, not global impairments, and as such are distinct from intellectual disabilities. Hence a study is conducted in order to find out the cognitive ability among LD and normal adolescents.

6. Oral care practices in intensive care unit patients- A critical issue

Background: Critically ill patients, who may be unconscious or sedated while they are treated in ICUs, often need the assistance from machines to help them breathe (ventilators). The use of these machines for more than 48 hours may result in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Oral hygiene care, using a mouth rinse, gel, toothbrush, or combination, together with suctioning secretions, may reduce the risk of VAP in these patients. There are recommendations and guidelines for oral care in the ICU administered to patients in the 2005 AACN Procedure Manual for Critical Care and the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention respectively. However, no gold standard exists for oral care for critically ill patients who are orally intubated. Objective and method: A descriptive study using a self-administered 25 questionnaire was used to describe oral care practices performed by 100 nurses posted in ICU. Results: 84% of the respondents reported oral care practices as a high priority in ICU-administered patients. 63% of nurses provided oral care twice a day for an average duration of 20-40 seconds. The most common tool used were spatulas and gauge (30%); toothbrush (16%); spatulas, gauge, toothbrush and suctioning (14%) followed by spatulas, gauge, and suctioning (10%) with the least used being swabs and foams (2%). 83% of the responders also mentioned the use of chemical plaque control, 6% uses toothpaste, 50% used 0.12% chlorhexidine and 25% used toothpaste and chlorhexidine. Conclusion: There is a gap in actual practices compared with policies because of the variations among different organization policies.

10. Niosome as a versatile drug carrier

In recent years, numerous research articles have been published relating to the potential of niosomes to serve as a biodegradable, biocompatible carrier for the delivery of various types of drugs. Niosomes are vesicles that are mostly composed of synthetic surfactants and cholesterol. The vesicular system of niosomes, with its bilayer structure assembled by nonionic surfactants, can increase the bioavailability of a drug to a specific area for a set period of time. Niosomes' amphiphilic nature enhances their ability to encapsulate lipophilic or hydrophilic drugs. Other additives, such as cholesterol, can be used to keep the structure of the niosomes rigid. The efficient use can be defined as a lower dose, fewer side effects, fewer dosages, greater patient compliance, and maximum concentration of the drug at the site of action to reduce unnecessary exposure to the entire body. This narrative review discusses the fundamentals of niosomes, such as their structural components and methods

12. The present and future trends of cybercrimes

There have been many challenges today amongst the organizations and the governments to achieve a more secure digital environment. The recent pandemic has paved the way to cyber criminals to a unique opportunity to penetrate human defenses. The present-day cyberattacks become highly sophisticated and much more dangerous. Data leakage continues to be a significant threat by working remotely, the cost of defending the breaches has risen to a new high. The present-day cyber-attacks show not just data theft, they are acting in a catastrophic manner by intruding into the essential infrastructures like hospitals, gas pipelines, electricity, and water supply leading to serious physical harm. Tessian cybercrime statistics says, “Google has registered 2,145,013 phishing sites as of January 17, 2021. This is up from 1,690,000 on January 19, 2020. (27% increase in a year). Ransomware is prevalent in 2021. Data exfiltration is now a big part of the game with what is called double extortion ransomware. Trend Micro alone detected 34% more new ransomware families in 2021than last year”. Apart from the present-day cybercrimes, newer forms of cyber threats are evolving every day. Cyber threat statistics show that there are many emerging threats like Ransomware attacks using data exfiltration, Cryptojacking, Mobile spyware, IoT-focused cybercrimes, 5 G-based intrusion, Stalkerware, irreparable malware attacks, and State-sponsored Cyberactivism. As technology is growing at a rapid pace, present-day cyber criminals make use of every technological development for their criminal activities. The purpose of this article is to understand the modalities of present forms of cybercrimes and the evolution of new cybercrime trends of the near future.

13. Understanding the impact of Biodiversity on human beings due to climatic changes.

Our survival is largely dependent on the diversity of flora and fauna, any loss is no longer merely an environmental concern it is also a financial one. Biodiversity loss affects not only our health but also the climate. Species and ecosystems are vanishing at an alarming rate. Biodiversity continues to dwindle at an alarming rate, putting the planet's ability to provide goods and services in jeopardy. The present extinction rate is predicted to be 1000 times faster than the natural extinction rate. However, we may be approaching a new period marked by the sixth global mass extinction of species that will be the first to be created by humans. if present loss rates continue, by 2050, an area of 1.3 billion hectares- almost 1.5 times the size of the United States - would have lost all of its natural biodiversity. Climate change is exacerbating this unparalleled loss of biodiversity. Climate change may cause the extinction of more than 30% of all known species by the end of the century. The effect and repercussions of our planet's unparalleled loss of ability to continue delivering goods and services that we humans take for granted are unclear to the general public and policymakers. We must all take responsibility for our actions. We must confront the difficulties posed by the biodiversity loss catastrophe as a group. Fresh initiatives and a new perspective are required. Every country and every person of the world must band together to defend life on the planet. 2010 has been designated as the International Year of Biodiversity by the United Nations. The year 2010 is a celebration of life on Earth and the importance of biodiversity in our lives, with the goal of involving people from all over the globe in the struggle to safeguard life on Earth and allowing us to take the necessary actions to stop the erosion of our natural foundations.

15. Intelligent traffic light control system

Traffic congestion is a serious problem in many cities around the world so it is time to switch to more manual mode or timer-timer mode to a more automated decision-making system. The current traffic signals system is based on a fixed time which may cause malfunction if one route works better than the other. To address this issue we have developed a smart traffic management system framework. Sometimes high traffic congestion on one side of the junction requires a longer green time compared to the allotted time. Therefore, we suggest here the way in which the time of green light and red light is allocated on the basis of existing traffic congestion. at that time. This is achieved by using an ultrasonic sensor. When the density is calculated, the bright time of the green light is allocated with the help of a microcontroller (Arduino). Sensors located on the side of the road will detect the presence of vehicles and send information to the microcontroller where it will determine how long the flank will be open or when to switch on signal lights. In the following sections, we have described in detail the process of this framework.

18. An empirical study of zoology’s effect on biophysics

Ancient cultures regarded animal studies as a lux. Drs Avicenna and Averroes improved our grasp of human physiology, which frequently had zoological implications. Zoological biologists have benefited from linkages with other fields like chemistry, physics, and data science. Behavioral Ecology is a branch of ecology that integrates zoology and animal behavior. Physical anthropology tries to answer when anatomically modern humans diverged from the closest monkey relatives. Bionics create artificial systems inspired by nature, such as robotics, prosthetics, and space travel.

26. Lexical analyzer using DFA

The definition of the term lexical is derived from the word "lexeme" in lexical analysis. In linguistics, a lexicon is an abstract morphological element. There are many stages or passes in the compiler. Each phase is significant, but the parser plays a critical part in the compilation process. Text editors, information retrieval systems, pattern recognition algorithms, and language compilers all make use of lexical analyzers. A lexical analyzer, lexer, scanner, or tokenizer is a program in the compilation step that does lexical analysis. The lexical analyzer is used in a variety of computer science applications, including word processing, information retrieval, pattern recognition, and language processing. The goal of this paper is to the operation of a lexical analyzer in the most direct way possible in order to give in-depth understanding of the lexical analyzer phase.

30. Bonafide owner’s under defective titles: an insight into property law.

Property can be defined as Ownership coupled with possession and sufficient right or interest to claim the property. The primitive concept of property was that a property consisted of two major elements namely corpus i.e. body and animus i.e. intention to hold the property. In recent times, due to the development of subject matters that act as property even without possessing a body and people claim ownership over it, like Intellectual property the main element of a property has been reduced to that of only “Animus”. Any property cannot exist in an ambiance which means without any claim or a title or ownership. Transfer of Property Act, 1882 deals with Intervivos Trans of Immovable Property. Transfer of Property Act is not exhaustive on its own and the purpose of the act is limited. It does not even deal with all the types ofIntervivos Trans of Immovable Property i.e. Trust and Succession are dealt with in this act. Moreover, the act also has territorial restrictions. Section 5 of the Transfer of Property Act defines the transfer of property as an act by a living person is present or in the future to one or more other living people which may include a company, an association, or a body of an individual, to himself or to himself and one or more other living people. Transfer of Property has 137 sections divided into 8 parts. Sections 1 to 5 deal with general sections, Sections 6 to 53A deal with general concepts within which Sections 6 to 32 deal with general concepts of both movable and immovable property and Sections 38 to 53A deals which concepts that talk specifically about the immovable property, Sections 54 to 57 talks about the sale of immovable property, Sections 58 to 104 specifically deal with mortgage, Sections 105 to 117 are concerned about the lease, Sections 118 to 121 are about Exchange, Sections 122 to 129 deals with gift and Sections 130 to 137 talks about additional claims in regards to immovable property. The present article deals with Bonafide owners under detective titles which is restricted strictly to that of transfer of immovable property and the rights, compensation, and other protection guaranteed under the Transfer of Property Act along with a few exceptions which are provided under this act in part under Chapter II part B(Of transfer by an act of parties- transfer of immovable property). This article aims at highlighting the rights that are guaranteed implicitly under the Transfer of Property Act to purchasers or owners who believe that they have a bonafide claim of ownership over the property, but the ownership so granted by the initial owner or the person transferring the owner is false and therefore, the transferee does not have a valid claim over the property even though he believes that he had entered into a valid or good transaction with the transferee. The defective title so granted to the transferee is due to the false proclamation, misunderstanding, or due to certain other acts of the transferor. These rights are so given to the bonafide owner under defective title also comes coupled up with duties and exceptions and the article intends on explaining the same with reference to certain case laws.

33. Design and analysis of seismic retrofitting of building

Earthquakes are a crucial problem worldwide since it leads to disastrous damages such as failure and collapse of buildings, loss of human lives, and loss of homes. In addition, earthquakes lead to a massive economy including loss of built structures and recovery costs of damaged buildings and infrastructure. In addition, the earth consists of three layers; the first one is the crust layer which is the surface of the earth, the second one is the mantle layer which is the second inner part of the earth, and last one the core layer which is the most inner part of the earth, When the surface of the earth creates a sudden movement, this in turns creates an earthquake, and strain energy is released causing the seismic waves through the crust.

39. Detection of Brain Tumors from MRI images using Improved Fuzzy C means and K means template-based algorithm

For decades even with the advancement of scanning and evolving imagery systems, the detection of tumors present in the brain has become increasingly challenging and is still one of the most sensitive areas in the field of medicine. In this research work, a enhanced model is proposed in which I have employed a combination of two algorithms. The first algorithm is the K Means Clustering which is a method of vector quantization. The second is the Fuzzy C-means clustering in which each data point can be attributed to more than one cluster. When used together the algorithms give enhanced performance and is called the TKFCM algorithm. Here in this paper, first in order to initialize the segmentation the k-means algorithm is used and the template is selected based on the Gray level of the image. Then the membership that is updated is primarily determined using the distance from the centroid of the cluster to the data points of the cluster using the FCM algorithm. Next, the improved FCM clustering algorithm is fundamentally used to detect the position of the tumor based on the function that is obtained by different features that include energy, contrast, entropy, homogeneity, dissimilarity and also the correlation. The results of the paper indicate that the algorithm is capable of detecting tissues that are abnormal in a improved time window.

51. Using the internet of things (IoT's) to gain elicitation results

Elicitating with Employees help a Business Analyst understand whether the mindset of a workforce is in sync with the Stakeholders, hence, helps determine a healthy working environment. They mostly use methods like Collaborative Games, Mind Mapping, Focus Groups, Observation, etc. These methods rely on the communication skills of the Business Analyst more than data, which could be a drawback, as it may not give accurate results and make the job of Business Analyst, a lot harder. Analysts and employees, or even clients, often speak in different general languages, with analysts often being more technical in nature, while clients will often speak more from a business perspective. This makes common understanding difficult. To make this process easier, this paper has come with a solution using Internet of Things (IoT), which could show Employee performance in the form of data, and can be used to gain clearer insights on Employee opinions and characters.

52. Nudge theory and its application for modern e-commerce markets

Nudge theory can mainly be credited to two academics—Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein. Thaler and Sunstein defined their concept as: “A nudge, as we will use the term, is an aspect of the choice architecture that alters people's behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any op)ons or significantly changing their economic incentives. To count as a mere nudge, the intervention must be easy and cheap" Nudge Theory has great implications in many fields such as public health, financial markets, government, fundraising, etc. In this paper, I aim to explore the question “What are some nudges that e-commerce companies exploit to increase sales”. I have aimed to structure this paper in chronological order of the nudges that a consumer is expected to come across when buying any product. For this, I have gone onto the popular e-commerce website amazon.com and seen some of the possible nudges used there are. At the end of the paper, I also discuss the limitations of nudge theory

53. Analytical method development of a formulation of transfluthrin, piperonyl butoxide, and cyfluthrin by GC-FID analytical technique

A simple validated Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization (GC-FID) method has been created for a mixture of insecticide and a chemical separation and quantitative measurement of Transfluthrin, Piperonyl butoxide, and Cyfluthrin formulation. Because it is time-saving, dependable, cost-effective, and repeatable, this GC approach is required. Developing a simple and cost-effective approach is difficult; yet, a GC analytical method validates one's capacity to meet regulatory / SANCO standards. In the current scenario, this pesticide mixture is necessary to manage all pesticides with a single dose application. Insecticides like Transfluthrin, Piperonyl butoxide, and Cyfluthrin are used to efficiently manage insects in crop plants. There are limited separation and determination analytical methods for such an important application of combined pesticides. The simple analytical instrument GC with Flam Ionisation Detector (GC/FID) was used to detect 0.01ppm LOQ level, this approach analyses Transfluthrin, Piperonyl butoxide, and Cyfluthrin mixtures. A Rxi-5ms capillary column was used to isolate these three compounds. A 30m capillary column with a 0.25mm ID and 0.50m length was loaded into the Shimadzu GC (model: GC-2010). A pre-installed, confirmed GC solution software equipped Shimadzu instrument was used for separation and quantification, as well as data processing and computations. These three chemicals were identified and quantified separately. In a single study, the simple GC method provides a quick way to determine the total amount of these three compounds

55. Analysis of underground rectangular water tank for the computation of shear force and bending moment coefficients

Rectangular tanks are common as it is use for the storage of liquids such as water, oil, petroleum products, compressed gases, etc. Analysis of such tanks is quite difficult. So, in order to analyze these tanks, various methods are used. Mostly Approximate method and Finite Element Method (FEM) are used to analyse water tanks. This paper presents a literature review on the analysis of rectangular tanks by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with the help of STAAD Pro software. The design and analysis of rectangular tanks requires various design charts and involves lengthy and monotonous calculations. To avoid these tedious calculations various codes and books are available which provide charts for shear force and bending moment coefficients for the design of water tanks with different support conditions. This paper gives an idea for an approach to the analysis of rectangular tanks by Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

56. Analysis of biogas plant for VESP college canteen

Facing energy crisis and climate change, the world is in need of a green, efficient, carbon-neutral energy source to replace fossil fuels. The search for energy alternatives involving locally available and renewable resources is one of the main concerns of governments, scientists, and business people worldwide. Biogas, formed by anaerobic digestion of organic materials, makes sustainable, reliable, and renewable energy possible. There is potential for biogas production from kitchen waste, and at the same time, the waste itself can be treated to minimize the environmental impact and provide nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. The study’s main objective was to design an anaerobic digester that utilizes food waste to generate biogas for use in Vivekanand Education Society Polytechnic Institute’s (VESP) kitchen. The institute’s main source of energy was mainly wood fuel, supplemented with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which is very expensive. Hence this project may help VESP to generate Biogas by utilizing food waste, which is less expensive than Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and also environmentally friendly.

64. Stress and Coping with Stress

Stress is your body's reaction to being under pressure from a circumstance or occurrence. It could be an emotional, mental, or bodily reaction. Stress is unavoidable; we must learn to live with it and successfully handle it, if not cope with it. Stress is best characterised as a syndrome caused by multiple factors with a wide range of manifestations ranging from mild to severe within the physical and mental framework of the human body. Stress can have a variety of impacts on the body, ranging from changes in homeostasis to life-threatening effects and death, depending on the nature, timing, and severity of the applied stimulus. Many diseases and pathological situations are made worse by stress, which can be a triggering or aggravating factor. Stress and sickness have a complicated relationship. Susceptibility to stress differs from one person to the next.

70. Intra-Cavitary Brachytherapy practice in COVID times: A prospective analysis of time durations of various procedural steps in the practice

Background and purpose During the COVID19 pandemic many radiotherapy centers have found it difficult to continue with their brachytherapy program. The apprehension was that the brachytherapy procedures may become unacceptably cumbersome, unsafe, and time-consuming under the prevailing pandemic. We undertook the present study to estimate and analyze the time durations of various steps during the high dose rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) procedure for carcinoma cervix while adhering to the safety protocols. Material and methods The study was conducted at a government-run hospital from Jan till Apr 2021. We prospectively estimated the time durations of each step of the HDR-ICBT procedure starting from the time a patient was taken into the operation theater till sent to the ward. Institutional safety protocols were followed. A total of 70 consecutive ICBT procedures involving 18 patients were included in the study. In all 1048 time-duration measurements were done. Results The average time-durations were 24 minutes, 54 minutes, 54 minutes, 63 minutes, and 26 minutes for induction of spinal epidural anesthesia, completion of brachytherapy applicator placement, CT/MRI imaging and patient transport to the brachytherapy room, completion of planning and execution of treatment, and for applicator removal, respectively. The average time duration for the entire brachytherapy procedure till the patient reached to ward was 4 hrs. Conclusion The average time of four hours for completion of an HDR-ICBT procedure with Covid-19 restrictions is reasonable and has scope for further reduction. Radiotherapy centers having adequate logistic and related support may, therefore, consider continuing with their ICBT program during the pandemic.

71. Traumas of armed conflict: a case study of child soldiers in Uganda

Children are the most endangered victims of intractable conflicts. Wherein almost 50 million children have been victim to forced displacement from their families and homes and are subjected to exploitation, forced labor as well as recruitment in the armed forces. The deployment of children as soldiers in armed conflict to commit acts of violence is a grave violation of Human Rights. Mostly these Children are recruited to wage battles and to carry out acts of violence. While the rest of them are engaged as cooks, messengers, porters, spies, and sexual slaves. It was in the year 2017 that the ‘List of Shame’ published by the UN Secretary-General include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen whereby the state forces are involved in the recruitment of child soldiers. While in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanmar nonstate actors such as Mai Mai Natura and Kachin Independence Army recruit children as soldiers respectively. According to the United Nations List of Shame, almost 43 state forces train and recruit Child Soldiers and almost 56 nonstate actors are involved in the recruitment of child soldiers. Over the span of the last five decades Uganda has undergone one of the deadliest civil wars in human history within the African continent. In this context what needs to be noted is the fact that Northern Uganda has witnessed civil war at the dawn of 1980 marked by the displacement of almost 4,00,000 people from their homes. With the establishment of Lord’s Republican Army by Joseph Kony in the year 1987 there was an unprecedented increase in the acts of violence marked by, a series of bombings taking place in Kampala. Most of the children fell prey to this civil unrest serving either as porters or fighters to Lord’s Republican Army and Allied Democratic forces. Thus, this paper seeks to examine the psychological impact and the reintegration process of Child Soldiers of Uganda.

72. Recognizable proof of WSSV envelope proteins associated with shrimp diseases

White spot disorder infection (WSSV) is a significant shrimp microbe causing huge financial misfortunes. While trying to recognize the envelope proteins associated with infection contamination, antisera against six WSSV envelope proteins were utilized in balance measures led in vivo. The results showed that the infectious disease could be fundamentally postponed or killed by antibodies against three WSSV envelope proteins (VP68, VP281, and VP466). This balance was additionally affirmed by quantitative PCR. It very well may be inferred that the viral envelope proteins VP68, VP281, and VP466 assumed parts in WSSV disease to shrimp.

76. Self Redevelopment of Housing Societies

Around three percent of Pune city’s land possesses half the slum population. This glaring inequality is dominant at a socio-spatial level. The failure of government-incentivized market solutions to resolve the affordable housing crisis (like the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna) is evident across Pune, except in a handful of projects. This research plans to investigate the lesser known examples in Pune, where communities have mobilized themselves to become housing providers, as a response to these market failures. A social innovation in itself, the process of Self Redevelopment involves communities coming together, registering themselves as a cooperative housing society, acquiring land and being at the forefront. Through a case by case analysis of scattered attempts of self-redevelopment in Pune, and a comparative analysis, we argue the presence and role of multiple stakeholders—like the State, private players, NGOs, activists, academicians, and certainly, the users—without whom this community-led execution shall be impossible. We hypothesize that, slum development/ redevelopment/ up gradation is successful only in places where users have been an integral part of the decision-making process.

78. Investigation of 2-dimensional fluid flow using finite difference flow method of Navier stokes equation

The presented research paper illustrates the development of a new methodology to solve 2-dimensional (2D) Navier-Stoke equations, which Pukhnachev proposed by introducing unknown functions in the stream and pressure functions of fluid flow. The proposed novel method is distinguishable from the common vorticity-stream given in Navier-Stokes expression because it has a stream function that corresponds to the unknown function in the elliptic expression. The equation represents a couple of scheme in algorithmic considerations because it enables two situations to be solved using one function of the subject stream without putting new conditions on the innovative function. Here, the concept of numerical algorithm is applied in a flow under cavity to represent a benchmark task to be solved. The benchmark task gives enough representation of the subject flow.

79. Generation of clean energy through nuclear energy with a global perspective

Nuclear energy is commonly defined as the energy released by a chain reaction, such as fission or fusion. Nuclear energy, in practice, generates steam and power using fuel produced from mined and processed uranium. We have more cost-effective and creative ways to harvest and store wind and solar energy but nuclear power is the only form of energy that can provide a consistent supply of electricity, which is referred to as baseload power. —reliably without emitting greenhouse gases. The thermal energy from nuclear reactors may also be used to decarbonize other energy-intensive sectors such as transportation – the largest contributor to carbon pollution. In 2019, nuclear plants operated at full power more than 92% of the time, making it the most reliable energy source. DOE and its national labs are working with industry to develop new reactors and fuels that will increase the overall performance of these technologies and reduce the amount of nuclear waste that is produced. To improve operating costs, DOE is also working with the industry to develop new fuels and cladding known as accident tolerant fuels. These new fuels could increase plant performance, allowing for longer response times, and will produce less waste. Accident-tolerant fuels could gain widespread use by 2025.

84. Fasting for husband’s long life: A study of Hindu women living in Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City, Kailali District

Fasting has been undertaken for spiritual or religious reasons throughout history. No matter what, whether it is “Teej,” “Sarwan-Brata” “Karva-Chauth” or any other special occasion, a Hindu woman fasts for her husband to live long. Fasts “Vrata” or “upavasa” is a centuries-old tradition observed annually in Nepal, and girl children follow their mother’s and grandmother’s footsteps without questioning the matters of fact. For fasts, usually, Hindu women wake up before dawn to begin a fast at sunrise, take a bath, put on clean clothes, not eat or drink until evening. For a long time, I was constantly preoccupied with the question of fasting and did not get a rational answer, so I have decided to explore why Hindu women pray for love and long lives for their husbands in Nepal? Does fasting extend the life of the husband? To know the proper answer, I had been through religious scriptures, reviewed scientific research articles, interviewed a few priests and women who have fasting experience. Based on research findings, fasting for the husband may or may not bring longevity to the husband’s life, but scientific research articles reported that fasting is good for detox and builds health and immunity for those who are fasting. In addition, not eating is the key to losing weight. Based on statistics from 2009 to 2019, the life expectancy at birth for women in Nepal was about 72.21 years, and the life expectancy at birth for men was about 69.26 years on average. The concluding remark is that fasting for a husband’s long life may or may not extend the husband’s life, but it extends the healthy life of those who fast.

91. Study of Anita Desai's novels- A new perspective

Studying the novel as an expressive style enjoyed the highest level of glory in the 18th century. The term ‘novel’ derived from the Italian word ‘ novella’ was first used for each of a collection of about one hundred narratives that appeared in the later half of the 13th century. The very term ‘novel’ means something new. The novel's last literary form is to come into being among the major forms of literature, the other two being Prose and Drama. A ‘novel’ is a sustained story that is not historically true but might very easily be so. The novel has been made the vehicle for satire, for instruction, for political or religious exhortation, and for technical information. Its plain and direct purpose is to amuse by a succession of scenes painted from nature and by a thread of the emotional narrative.

In this study, an irrigation planning model is developed and applied in form of Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) approach for crop planning in the command area of the Shahid Chandra Shekhar Azad Sagar (Jobat) in Dhar District of Madhya Pradesh, India. The formation of the MOFLP model is based on different Linear Programming (LP) models and Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming (MOFLP) models. Here models are used to maximize the Net Benefits (NB) and Crop Production (CP). The cropping patterns giving the best result for the Crop Production and Net-Benefit are different. The Area Under Irrigation is 0 for gram when just Crop Production is optimized. Similarly, when only the Net Benefit is optimized, the Area under irrigation is 0 for sugarcane because of the low value of the benefit coefficient. So, we find Optimal Cropping Pattern for the Crop Production and Net-Benefit by LP and MOFLP at different live reservoir storage

95. A study on challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in India

India's economy is one of the world's fastest-growing. The number of start-ups launched has been steadily increasing over the last decade. The vast majority of these have been started by men. The good news is that women have shown a strong interest in entrepreneurship and starting new businesses. The issue is that women's success rates are considerably lower than men's due to a variety of cultural factors like fear, lack of motivation, as well as a lack of commercial resources such as development and training. Women, in general, are for the most part seen as domestic producers with small to do with economy or commerce. The theme of ladies in business has been largely neglected both in society in general and within the social sciences. For occurrence, in spite of the fact that ladies have made gigantic strides in instruction in later years, such as outperforming men within the number of degrees allowed, they are still underrepresented in areas like building and computer science, which are the establishments for so much entrepreneurial action. Additionally, while women have held increasingly parts in organizations, they’ve been less spoken to within the sorts of positions that “involve senior-level key arranging and need setting.” This paper has been made to ascertain the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in the process of setting up and managing the business in a business environment. We have used secondary data to do this research paper.

96. “Kachre se kanchan tak” A Novel idea of Maha-Metro Rail Corporation (Pune Metro Rail Project) that has reclaimed the dumpsite legacy waste and reused the received soil in backfilling to conserve the virgin soil resource

Land is scarce commodity in urban context. It is estimated that more than 10,000 hectares of urban land is locked in Indian dumpsites. Pune Metro Rail Project has been allocated one of such dumping site (Kothurd) to construct the depot for serving the East-West Corridor. The land area of Kothurd dumping site spreads over 12.2 hectares and predominantly filled with Municipal Solid waste heaped in 10 to 12 meters height, home for pigs, stray dogs and rodents. This area is also surrounded by the residential /commercial complex posing an environmental hazard to nearby residents. This article presents that how Maha-Metro, Pune Metro Rail Project has reclaimed a three decades-old garbage dumpsite with in-house effort and converted into state of art depot and unencumbered all nearby residents from ill effects of dumping site. Reclamation of kothurd dumpsite having huge quantities of decades-old garbage (aged waste or legacy waste) in an environmentally sound manner was a challenge. Maha Metro Pune Metro Rail Project took this challenge and formulated strategy for reclamation of this dumpsite. The emphasis was to conserve the virgin soil resource and to maximum reuse of earth soil to meet the backfilling requirement at various ongoing Metro Construction sites. Environment Management Division (EMD) of Pune Metro Rail Project has conducted some primary studies to understand the waste composition, organic content etc. and visited Mulund dumping site on 30.4.2019 to understand the aged/legacy waste reclamation process prescribed under Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules 2016. Primary studies on compositional analysis reveals that legacy waste consist 14 % biodegradable material, 39% recyclable (RDF- Paper card board, textile rags, plastic, rubber etc.). 8% recyclable (Non-RDF- glass metal etc.) and 39% Inert Construction & Demolition material. However, organic analysis of the waste reveals that waste was fully degraded and converted into soil like compost through natural process. The heavy metal analysis of legacy waste indicates that all the parameters are within the permissible limit (Schedule II, SWM Rules 2016) and could be effectively reused in gardening, landscaping, green belt development and median plantations. Further, the possibility of using the received soil in back filling was also explored and a lab test was carried out to understand the quality of soil. The result reveals that soil is meeting the quality criteria of IS standards can be effectively reused in backfilling at various ongoing Metro construction sites.

97. The sustainability of US debt

US debt is a matter discussed worldwide, owing to the widespread use of the US dollar and the global economic power that the US holds. A large proportion of trade relies on the dollar, and many currencies are even pegged against the dollar. This has meant that global demand for the dollar has been constant. Furthermore due to a range of factors interest rates have remained extremely low, therefore the government has been able to borrow large amounts of debt and satisfy creditors. However, owing to the pandemic, unprecedented spending, tax cuts, and an unproductive spending plan the US government's fiscal position is slowly deteriorating. With uncertainty growing, the inevitability of tapering setting in, and rising inflation looming, the US economy must reconsider its spending patterns or cut back on current spending, both of which could lead to long-term social consequences. This paper discusses the current position of the government and its sustainability through various perspectives such as the ability to satisfy this debt in the future, growth hindered by debt through a neoclassical growth mode, unfunded obligations, and the effect of angst and defaults. On the contrary, it also explores how low-interest rates and the global strength of the dollar have made its position more sustainable than other countries. Finally, there are also proposals to help strengthen the government’s fiscal position, and long-term solutions to ease the situation and help the economy recover. These when implemented would not solve the crisis at once given its gravity but at least stabilize the government for the time being. Finally, after analyzing collaborating this diverse range of analyses, proposals, and information this paper proposes a concrete synopsis of something that could inevitably shake global markets and affect communities and countries at even an individual level.

98. A survey on asynchronous distributed Federated Learning framework

Through the hasty growth of data generated by intelligent IoT devices, Federated learning (FL) seems to be a promising technique that provides distributed Machine Learning (ML) amenities at the same time protecting data privacy. FL is the novel form of Artificial intelligence (AI) that builds on decentralized data setup and carries out training that brings learning to devices. It’s mostly used in instances that involve security and privacy as the main concerns and empowers implementers to build secure learning environments. The federated averaging (FedAvg) is one the most used optimization algorithms that train models with a synchronized protocol. However, the algorithm is not realistic enough and communication efficiency issues tend to arise. The amount and distribution of collected data have a different training process because of varying sample sizes of devices. This paper carries out an in-depth review of FL and its asynchronous learning previous research. Lastly, the authors propose a privacy-preserving asynchronous FL framework for distributed healthcare care data that improve the model accuracy to health information.

99. Effect of COVID-19 on employees’ work-life balance at Swastik pulp and paper mill

In this report we have researched how the employees have balanced their work, as well as their routine life as we know the situation was very worst but earning, was also essential, therefore the company has given work from home to many employees. In work from home, many employees have enjoyed as they can do work at any time and they can enjoy other activities as well side by side. But because of that, the output was very much less as compared to work from the office and many employees were bored as well because they have to work from one place only and they don’t have to go anywhere. So sometimes they were also mentally pressured.

100. Development of an android-based visual implementation of student project allocation system

Technology is every place we go in a moment's life. So, scholars of seminaries or sodalities, or universities bear an operation that supports smartphones to get all types of information related to examination, lecture notes, placement, systems regarding the announcement, events, transportation, etc. Rather than calling systems because nearly all mobile druggies have smartphones currently. This being system takes a pupil list and allocates administrators to scholars. Using a manual system in the management and allocation of projects to students is characterized by many problems, including the Inability of the project Guide to know that a title has been approved already for a student. Difficulty and inappropriate documentation of allocated project topics. Ineffective in entering, updating, and retrieving records of allocated projects. Difficulty in accessing the project Guide for approval of the topic. Duplication in project topics approved for students. We designed an operation to attain the demand of scholars. The main idea of the pupil design allocation system is to make a system that will give information for each pupil. Projects can efficiently be allocated to students without delay, and topic conflict between students in the same department will not arise here. Pupil updates can be fluently penetrated if the database system is enhanced. This design will give a fruitful way to manage data at a low cost. The Student Project Allocation contains colorful options similar to login/ logout, viewing and streamlining data, etc. It'll be secure. Data can be used by only those with an id and word while maintaining the data.

102. Analysis of vandhya rog chikitsa from yogaratnakar on the basis of modern and ayurvedic text: A review

Ayurveda is a science which is having its own diagnostic methods and treatment based on it. Ayurvedic classical texts elaborate treatment of Vandhytva (infertility), in almost all important Samhitas. In present scientific research, many causes of infertility are explored because of the vast availability of diagnostic tools. In the period when Samhita's were written the diagnostic methods are very different, so when acharya cite the treatment, it was quoted that the treatment is useful in infertility, as a general term. It is need of an hour to analyze this ancient treasure of treatment in terms of modern scientific knowledge. This effort will help a clinician to find the absolute indication of the infertility treatment. In this analytical study the infertility treatment mentioned in Yogratnakar, (one of the classical texts) is critically evaluated to find out the absolute indication. The chapter from Yogaratnakar namely “Yonivyapada Roganam Chikitsa, Vandhyarog Chikitsa” is critically analyzed. It is observed that the formulations which are evaluated are having estrogenic action, potent aphrodisiac, endocrine stimulants, so they are useful in unovulation, tubal block, luteal phase defect, disorders of the endocrine system also in defective spermatogenesis.

103. Clustering Algorithms and Classification Method for the Analysis of the Crop Yielding Dataset

Prediction of the crop is a dominant element of agriculture and even for farmers[1]. Currently, India is in the second position in the world for agricultural produce. The main economic sector of India is agriculture, which plays an important role in the growth of the economy[1]. Prediction of a crop is a challenging issue, so comprehensive varieties of crop prediction methods are used. In this paper the essential data is collected from districts of Karnataka and Tamilnadu with many parameters like year, district, area, temperature, rainfall, crop, and yield in tons for the year 2005 to 2016. For crop prediction, methods like K-Means and the J48 algorithm are applied in the existing system for clustering and classification. In the proposed system for clustering, the PAM (PartitionaroundMedoid) is applied and for classification, J48 is applied. A dataset is collected and clustered as stated by the attribute of the PAM algorithm by using the Euclidean formula, calculatingthe distance between the points. In this work tools like eclipse mars.2 and the programming language, Java is applied. The result acquired through an existing algorithm such as K-Means & J48 in comparison with a proposed algorithm like PAM and J48 gives better results in terms of accuracy and time complexity.

105. Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations on fullerene/polymer blends for organic photovoltaic systems

This research uses computational simulations using SIESTA (Spanish Initiative for Electronic Simulations with Thousands of Atoms) package based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) to explore the free energies, interaction energies, relative stability, stability of bonds, and charges transfer abilities of Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) systems comprising of bis[methano- fullerene (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester] (bisPCBM) as the acceptor and eight different donor polymers. The novel donor polymers are computationally designed based on poly[4,8-bis-substituted-benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-4-substituted-thieno[3, 4-b]thiophene-2,6-diyl] (PBDTTT) polymer, the main structural changes being the incorporation of Se and F atoms. From the results, it was clear that PCBM makes a wiser choice as the donor compared to bisPCBM for computer simulations. The influence of F atoms was observed in the stability of the system both energetically and structurally. The incorporation of Se negatively affects the feasibility of acceptor-donor interaction.

106. Automated Soil Nutrients Monitoring and Irrigation using IoT

The process of cultivating crops along with livestock raising termed agriculture is one of the fields in this world that need more accurate and advanced technologization. Agriculture is the most crucial part of every individual’s daily life and has been in existence for thousands of years, and still isn’t at the expected peaks of technology. Making agriculture smart and advanced may upgrade the level of agricultural technologization to a certain peak. It will have positive ef ects on the yield of crops and also decrease the manual labor that is put into them. More accuracy and precision will be provided while farming and thus proving to be an ef icient way of farming. In earlier days, water level, humidity level, moisture condition, pH condition was not a great point of focus by the farmers and hence the produce was also not always up to the maximum possible. But as a researched fact, these above-mentioned condition plays a vital role in increasing productivity and healthy farming. IoT had played a role of importance in the development of smartness, accuracy, and precision in smart farming. And newly evolved technologies will also in support of IoT help take the advancing level of agriculture to its new heights. In this report, a model has been proposed that aims at smart farming with the help of a sensor network, which helps in detecting soil nutritional level with pH values, moisture of soil using moisture sensor, and temperature using suitable temperature sensor. Also, an automated irrigation system will be implemented using AWS cloud computation.
