2. Enabling authorized encrypted search for multiauthority database

E-medical records are sensitive and should be stored in a medical database in encrypted form. However, simply encrypting these records will eliminate data utility and interoperability of the existing medical database system because encrypted records are no longer searchable. Moreover, multiple authorities could be involved in controlling and sharing the private medical records of clients. However, authorizing different clients to search and access records originating from multiple authorities in a secure and scalable manner is a nontrivial matter. To address the above issues, we propose an authorized searchable encryption scheme under a multi-authority setting. Specifically, our proposed scheme leverages the RSA function to enable each authority to limit the search capability of different clients based on clients’ privileges. To improve scalability, we utilize multi-authority attribute-based encryption to allow the authorization process to be performed only once even over policies from multiple authorities. We conduct rigorous security and cost analysis and perform experimental evaluations to demonstrate that the proposed scheme introduces moderate overhead to existing searchable encryption schemes.

4. E-Endhan

Petroleum and diesel products are rare and very much costly but can obtain them on e-commerce platforms on a pre-booking basis is as rare as them obtaining them from the earth. Mobile Apps, home delivery, online payments are the support of the digital or online market. The concept of delivering petrol, diesel, coal, and CNG at your doorstep with the help of applications like “My Petrol Pump” and “Book My Petrol” have come into the industry recently but this is limited to very short distance and not more famous like Amazon, Flipkart in INDIA. E-endhan will work as an online platform that provides these petroleum products to your doorstep on pre-booking basis and refuel your vehicle. This review paper tests the promotion or awareness of the doorstep delivery of petroleum products through e-commerce platforms and customers’ acceptance of the technology and online market for these products.

8. Smart Garbage Bin

Garbage management is real trouble in society. The population and the garbage also are increasing proportionally. Many times, we see that the garbage bins are placed in public places are overflowing. The negligence of authorities and carelessness of the public create an unhygienic condition for the people, lead to health problems (some deadly diseases & human illness) and also create bad smell which causes damage to local ecosystems. Here we propose a smart garbage bin that can detect the level of garbage at various parts of the dustbin, level of garbage can be monitored via an app and sends message alert to respective authorities to collect that trash when it crosses a threshold level.

11. Reliable communication using modified TCP over Wireless Network

Existing Transport Protocols like TCP is well-tuned to the traditional networks made up of wired links and fixed hosts. TCP provides reliable end-to-end delivery of packets between hosts in packet-switched computer communication networks. It provides reliability by retransmitting packets that are not delivered within a specific timeout interval. Because of the relatively low error rates on the wired network, TCP correctly manages the losses in a congested network. TCP reacts to packet losses by dropping the transmission window at the sender and initiating congestion control mechanisms like slow start that reduce the load on the network. TCP reacts to packet losses by dropping its window size and initiating congestion control or avoidance mechanisms in a network consisting of wireless links characterized by high bit-error rates, intermittent connectivity, and handoff-related losses. This is because it does not distinguish between transmission-related losses and losses due to congestion. Such a TCP reaction results in an avoidable reduction in the link bandwidth utilization and, consequently, significant degradation in performance in the form of poor throughput and high interactive delays. This paper presents some modifications to the existing TCP protocol. We have modified the TCP protocol to make it suitable for wireless communication environments. We have studied the performance of our modification in comparison to some other existing TCP protocols.

21. Equal opportunity for growth & development

Inequality is a common thing in every aspect of human life and bringing equality is a special and difficult one. It is just impossible to bring 100 percent equality in any society; however, reducing inequality is possible with special efforts. When we have wrestling between a physically strong wrestler and a weak wrestler then obviously strong wrestler will win the fight. However, if we provide equal opportunities to both the wrestler by providing the same food, same nutrient ions, the same amount of training, same weight, etc then having a fight will be giving unbiased and just result. This paper, it is tried to brief the laws related to equal opportunity in India and United Nations Organization and also tried to identify inequalities due to income, gender, caste, and religion in India. Measures taken by Central and State governments to reduce inequality are not sufficient and more measures needed to be taken.

22. IoT based monitoring system to detect covid-19 and other health issues using Arduino microcontroller

Covid-19 and its variant viruses have killed millions of human population, whereas still more numbers are being infected and admitted every day. As per records, severe infection causes Pneumonia associated with high pulse and breathing rates, and low blood oxygen. Pulse rate and blood oxygen level are two parameters that medical experts use to diagnose and measure Pneumonia and Bronchitis through sensors. Therefore, it has become a very important research direction to detect the pulse wave accurately, quickly, and conveniently. Those sensors are used to scan patients’ measurements which are widely available in developed countries. As their costs are prohibitively high for wide penetration in developing countries we developed and tested the performance of an Atmel ATmega 328P MCU and MAX30100 sensor kit-based pulse rate, blood oxygen monitor, and blood pressure. By using our project we can know whether the person is having danger of cardiac arrest, fever. The parameters here we measured are temperature, heartbeat, and pulse by using respective sensors. The data from the sensors are given to the Arduino Uno. This project aims at developing a system that gives pulse rate and SPO2 respectively. These sensors are interfaced with an Arduino microcontroller board. The value of saturation oxygen level, pulse rate, and blood pressure records will be uploaded to cloud software

24. Pothole detection for accident prevention: A review

Potholes are a nuisance to society, especially to individuals who use public roads. The importance of road infrastructure for society is comparable to the importance of blood vessels in humans. Crevasse and gouge are the main factors that cause road accidents and damage to vehicles. They should be spotted and corrected before they become a hazard. Road conditions can thus be improved through the detection of potholes. It is the goal of engineers to continuously monitor and repair the roads to ensure that they are in good shape. Having objective and comprehensive data about the condition of the roadways is a promising method for achieving this objective. About two million kilometers of roads in India are surfaced with around one million kilometers being poorly constructed. The various problems that plague Indian roads are largely caused by the improper maintenance of the roadways. No matter where you go in India, you’ll find one or more roads with potholes. While Indians have learned to perfect their driving skills to compensate for disheveled roads, there are many accidents around the country. This paper compares various subjects such as YOLO, SSD, HOG, Neural network, Inception V3,2D LiDAR, CNN-DL, R-CNN, etc. for predicting well holes. This paper introduces the state of the art in well-known mining detection techniques that discuss a variety of methods and identify the best solutions for real-time implementation under extreme conditions and working conditions thereby ensuring human safety.

The hunt for a replacement, safe and stable renewable energy supply junction rectifier to the thought of operational controls are designed to support the combination of wind and alternative energy among small grids. With the event of renewable energy like chemical element energy, renewable energy provides are a very important part of the DC microgrid. A mass model of renewable wind and solar energy generation forecast is planned to support the quantification of the operational reserve for day-ahead and period programing. Then, droop management for power electronic converters connected to battery storage is developed and tested. Compared with the present droop controls, it's distinguished therein that the droop curves are set as perform of the storage state-of-charge (SOC) and may become uneven. The difference of the slopes ensures that the ability output supports the terminal voltage whereas at an equivalent keeping the SOC within a firing range of desired operational reserve. This is often shown to take care of the equilibrium of the microgrid period offer and demand. The controls are enforced for the special case of a dc microgrid that's vertically integrated among a high-rise host building of a geographic area. Antecedently untapped wind and alternative energy are harvested on the roof and sides of a tower, thereby supporting delivery to electrical vehicles on the bottom. The microgrid vertically integrates with the host building while not making an outsized footprint.

26. An analysis of noise reduction for sputum smear microscopy images

Sputum smear microscopy is a primary tool used for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB diseases. Due to its accessibility, minimal bio-safety standards, and cost-effectiveness, the latter is the most preferred test in low- and middle-income countries [26]. De-noising is a fundamental challenge in microscopy image processing because the images are highly corrupted by salt and pepper noise while transmitting. This paper makes a survey on five methods that can be efficiently applied in de-noising the sputum smear microscopy image processing tasks. The five de-noising methods to publish the survey are namely LCD, GPPCM, IMF, ASWMF, and SAF-RGM. The effectiveness of this survey comes along with the metrics such as Peak Signal noise, Root Mean square Error, and the Mean Structure Similarity Index. Many methods for rebuilding spotless images from noisy versions have been proposed. Both the methodology and the outcomes of these methods are dissimilar. This assessment work presents a broad study on image de-noising and suggests a number of promising future research directions.

30. DSACSS: Deep Learning-based spectrum allocation with cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive WSNs

The incorporation of intelligence into wireless sensors is a contemporary paradigm for boosting the effectiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and the effective use of the radio frequency spectrum. The existing traditional distribution of radio frequencies leads to coexistence issues or resource underutilization. Cognitive sensors with adjustable spectrum sharing might be used to solve this problem. In this field, spectrum management includes spectrum sensing and allocation. Several techniques have been developed to address these issues but complexity and throughput remain a challenging tasks for these networks. In this work, these issues have been addressed and developed a combined approach for spectrum sensing, spectrum allocation, and cluster head selection to improve the overall spectrum utilization and improve the energy utilization. Moreover, the proposed scheme also adapts the deep learning scheme to identify the spectrum of information based on historical patterns. The comparative analysis shows that the proposed approach shows better spectrum detection performance in comparison with KMeans, GMM, KNN, DAG-SVM approaches.

33. Predicting the power of Combined Cycle Power Plant

With the rising share of renewables in the energy mix, there is a need for alternative flexible power capacity to mitigate its intermittency. The emerging role of the aggregator is important in untapping the potential of new flexibility sources. An aggregator bundles the flexibility of distributed generation and demand response, and offers the collective resources to wholesale electricity markets. This technical aggregation is referred to as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). The main aim of this paper is to work towards a model to estimate flexibility characteristics of aggregates of DR (demand response) and DG (distributed generation) to better provide smart grid services from those aggregates in existing and future wholesale markets. This knowledge is the missing connection to ensure capabilities of real-time response into energy markets with a fixed time control loop. Traditionally this has been done using detailed information on device makeup of a virtual power plant (VPP), i.e with detailed knowledge of flexible device state and their performance capabilities. This low level detailed knowledge requirement presents barriers such as performance and security of private information. Therefore, this paper will investigate the applicability of machine learning techniques using only currently available market information to black box estimate aggregate flexibility characteristics, specifically capacity available during run-time and longevity, the amount of time a power deviation can be maintained.

34. Review of image segmentation techniques

Image segmentation is considered to be one of the most important image processing processes. Image segmentation is the process of dividing or partitioning an image into parts called segments. It's most useful for applications like image compression and object recognition because processing the entire image is inefficient in these cases. As a result, image segmentation is used to separate the image's parts for further processing. Several image segmentation techniques exist, which divide an image into multiple parts based on image features such as pixel intensity value, color, texture, and so on. The segmentation method is used to categorize all of these techniques. The various image segmentation techniques are reviewed in this paper.

37. Android privacy leakage detection using static analysis

The quantity of Android apps has grown explosively in re- cent years and the wide variety of apps leaking non-public facts has additionally grown. it's far necessary to make sure all of the apps are not leaking non-public information before putting them to the app markets and thereby a privateness leaks detection tool is wanted. We endorse a static taint evaluation approach that leverages the control-flow graph (CFG) of apps to locate privateness leaks among Android apps. We tackle three troubles related to inter-element verbal exchange (ICC), the lifecycle of components, and the callback mechanism making the CFG imprecision. To bridge this gap, we ex- implicitly join the discontinuities of the CFG to provide a unique CFG. based totally on the ideal CFG, we goal at offering a taint evaluation method to locate intra-factor privateness leaks, inter-factor privacy leaks, and additionally inter-app privacy leaks.

41. Experimental investigation on steel fiber reinforced concrete with partial replacement of fine aggregate by copper slag

In many developing countries, concrete is the most extensively used "manmade" material for construction in all types of civil engineering projects. Concrete is also an environmentally friendly material, which is more important in locations where environmental awareness is expanding. Researchers have been attempting to increase the quality, strength, and durability of materials against adverse exposures for decades. Concrete made of Portland cement is regarded to be a fragile substance. Unreinforced concrete cracks and fails when subjected to tensile pressures. Steel reinforcement has been utilized to solve this problem since the mid-nineteenth century. The reinforcing steel is expected to carry all tensile loads in a composite system. When fibers are added to the concrete mix, the composite system's tensile load capacity is increased as well. In reality, research has shown that fiber reinforcing can improve the final strength of concrete. The goal of this study article is to employ solely fibers. On 150x150x150mm cube and 150mmx300mm cylindrical specimens, the experimental investigation consisted of casting and compression testing using a test method that gave the complete compressive strength, split tensile test with and without steel fiber of volume fractions 0,1, and 1.5, percent of 0.75mm diameter of the aspect ratio of 80 on ordinary Portland cement concrete and replacing fine aggregate with copper slag of 40% and 60%. Based on the findings, higher crack resistance and improved tensile strength will be discovered. At 7 days, 21 days, and 28 days after curing, the proposed sample will be analyzed. These findings will reveal if the FRC is suitable for proper confinement in structures subjected to high loads such as seismic and impact loads.

42. Supply chain of electric vehicle and batteries

One of the key aspects of the Electric Vehicle Supply Chain that distinguishes it from Internal Combustion Engine suppliers is that vehicles powered entirely or partially by electricity require little maintenance, have a simple mechanical design, and are difficult to mass-produce. It is the fastest technology that runs on charging batteries rather than fossil fuels, and it is known to be environmentally and financially favourable. It is therefore extremely important to continue to grow in this field. EV, like most revolutionary mechanisms, has produced a potential development that comes with its own set of difficulties and opportunities. While it is still reforming its area and the industry as a whole, it is evaluating the market's progress for developers. Concerns about air quality and the scarcity of gasoline are boosting interest in electric vehicles (EVs). This integrative assessment assesses the global EV battery supply chain raw material and identifies potential concerns. Authorized government authorities are generally moving to electric vehicle batteries in an effort to reduce gas emissions from transportation, which offers a considerable reduction in carbon emissions when compared to ignition engine vehicles.

45. Impact of demographic factors and risk tolerance on investors of Raipur city, Chhatisgarh

The present study tries to find out the impact of demographic factors and risk tolerance that plays a crucial role in investors’ decision-making. The evolution of behavioral finance has brought about a revolution in the finance industry and risk is an inevitable part of this industry. The concept of ‘risk tolerance ‘ means the ability of an investor to take risks while investing in various investment options. There are a lot of investment options available to investors while some like to invest in gold and real estate others prefer to invest in equity markets and these decisions are highly impacted by psychological and behavioral factors. Demographic factors such as age, gender, income class, occupation and investment experience, and risk tolerance have a deep impact on an investor’s decision-making. Applying structural pivot analysis to data collected from 200 respondents of Raipur city, Chhattisgarh we found a significant relationship between certain demographic factors and risk tolerance. The factors such as occupation, gender, and income class show a positive correlation between risk tolerance and investor behavior while others, such as age and investment experience show a negative correlation between risk tolerance and investor behavior.

46. Technical and environmental analysis of SHP in RET Screen: A case study of power production at Machai/Mardan

Pakistan’s economy is directly affected by Power conjuncture causing energy failure on regular basis for long duration and shut down of industrial units causing social disorganization. Because of population growth and need in economy advancement it’s estimated that national electricity demand will continue to grow at 10 % per annum. The environmental impacts associated with hydroelectric developments that incorporate water storage (typically larger in size) are mainly related to the creation of a water storage reservoir. The RET Screen International Clean Energy Project Analysis Software addresses a number of renewable energy electricity generating technologies. The four most widely applied technologies are Wind energy, photovoltaic, small hydro and biomass combustion power technologies. The energy available from a hydro turbine is proportional to the quantity of water passing through the turbine per unit of time and the vertical difference between the turbine and the surface of water at the inlet (i.e. head).

There have been substantial advances in HAR (Human Activity Recognition) in the past several years due to the advancement of the IoT (Internet of Things). HAR may be used in a range of contexts, including elder care, surveillance systems, and anomalous behavior detection. Different machine learning techniques have been used to anticipate human actions in a particular circumstance. Feature engineering techniques, which may pick an ideal collection of features, have outperformed typical machine learning techniques. Deep learning models, like CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks), on the other hand, are known to extract features and minimize computing costs automatically. We employ the CNN model for predicting actions from the Weizmann Dataset in this article. To extract deep image features and trained machine learning classifiers, transfer learning is used in particular. We found that VGG-16 has an accuracy of 96.95 percent in our experiments. We also found that VGG-16 outperformed the rest of the CNN models that were used in our experiments.

52. Hydrochemical analysis and assessment of groundwater quality in and around Yadadri district, Telangana, India.

This study looks at the types of groundwater and water quality in a semi-arid watershed in southern India that includes 35 settlements. In both seasons, cation concentrations (Na+> Ca2+> Mg2+> K+) and anions (HCO3- > Cl > NO3-> SO 2-> PO43-) follow a consistent pattern across most of Peninsular India. The sodium-bicarbonate-chloride (Na+-HCO3-Cl-) classifies the groundwater. The influence of natural sources on groundwater composition across the watershed's communities is demonstrated by a Pearson correlation study of important ions. The water composition of these communities, according to Gibb's plot, is the result of rock and water interaction during infiltration and aquifer storage. Due to a severe water deficit in this region, particularly during the pre-monsoon season, deep bore wells have been drilled for both home and agricultural purposes. All of the physical dimensions and chemical contents exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) permissible limits, rendering it unsafe for drinking, domestic, or agricultural use. Around 54 percent of groundwater samples, regardless of season, are found to be unfit for irrigation (KR 1). During the post-monsoon season, groundwater from villages near the local river (Bukleru river) is only acceptable for irrigation (KR>1).

58. Housing policy in developing economies: The importance of regulation

The financialization of housing is defined as the phenomenon in which housing is treated as a commodity such that it is a vehicle of wealth and investment rather than a social good and basic human right. While the financialization of housing itself can be seen as the product of financial innovation and economic development, it has also become an object of speculation and irrational exuberance in the form of market bubbles and social friction, which excludes disadvantaged members of society from benefiting from this expansive growth, oftentimes marginalizing these communities further. This paper aims to assess the importance of regulation and housing policy in developing economies as a means of controlling the financialization of real estate markets.

67. Recognition of objects in Adverse Weather conditions using Dual Subnet Network in Comparison with CNN Network

The purpose of this Research work is to Detect objects in Adverse weather conditions using Dual Subnet Network and comparing it with CNN network. Object detection algorithms based on convolutional neural networks have been intensively explored and successfully implemented in numerous computer vision applications during the last half-decade. However, due to poor visibility, recognising things in rainy weather remains a considerable challenge. In this study, we introduce an unique dual-subnet network (DSNet) that can be trained end-to-end and jointly perform three tasks: visibility improvement, object categorization, and object localisation, to handle the object identification problem in the presence of fog. By incorporating two subnetworks: detection and restoration, DSNet achieves complete performance enhancement. RetinaNet is used as a backbone network (also known as a detection subnet) for learning to categorise and find objects. The restoration subnet shares feature extraction layers with the detection subnet and uses a feature recovery (FR) module to improve visibility. Our DSNet outperformed many state-of-the-art object detectors and combination models between dehazing and detection methods while maintaining a high speed, obtaining 50.84 percent mean average precision (mAP) on a synthetic foggy dataset that we composed and 41.91 percent mAP on a public natural foggy dataset (Foggy Driving dataset).

70. Sentiment classification with the BERT procedure based on deep learning

The need for Sentiment classification is a critical step in determining how people feel about a product, service, or issue. To solve the sentiment categorization problem, many natural language processing models have been developed. The majority of them, however, have concentrated on binary sentiment categorization. In this study, we tackle the fine-grained sentiment categorization task using BERT, a powerful deep learning model. Experiments show that without complicated architecture, our model outperforms other popular models in this job. In the process, we also demonstrate the utility of transfer learning in natural language processing.

71. Artificial Reaching and Feeding Hand

Robotic arms are designed for helping disabled people. The main function of the robotic arm is feeding food and drinks for disabled people. Nowadays there are so many robotic arms available in our market. These arms are more expensive because they use high-level technologies like sensing brain signals of arms and perform the task according to this. These expensive products are not affordable by common people. We are introducing this light weight portable robotic arm for feeding disabled people in affordable price. The ultimate aim of this proposed methodology is to assist the persons with movement disorder who need the help of someone to feed themselves. The proposed methodology comprises of four servo motors, one arduino controller and one usb camera. By detecting the eye blinking of the user, the operation will be initiated. The required height will be obtained by detecting the lip area of the user with the help of usb camera fixed on the robotic arm. Arduino uno is programmed in such a way to co-ordinate the required movements of the arm. The desirable robotic arm position is accomplished by the rotation of servo motors. The assistive feeding device has a gripper which can hold a spoon or a cup according to the written program. The motors will rotate in both directions to take the meals and drinks and feed to the user.

72. Jurisdiction of Crimes in the high Seas

In may 2021, a US warship had seized a huge weapons cache of Russian and Chinese origins off of a dinghy in the Arabian sea, however after the weapons were seized and the sailors questioned, they were let go without any hassle , as this happened on international waters, now if the same crime had happened on land, it would have been a different scenario. Many a times with the lack of jurisdiction, crimes that are illegal on the land happen in the high seas, many vessels have their registration in Panama or Liberia to reduce taxes, ships follow the laws of the countries they are registered in in the high seas, how does it affect combatting crimes perpetrated when in the sea? the issue of jurisdiction in the high seas would be explored in this research paper as that would be a hindrance when the Panama flagged cruise ship carrying US passengers reaches the Bahamas. There are these traditional crimes that happen on land like thievery, murder, rape, what is the punishment and the extent of jurisdiction for it to happen on the high seas?, in traditional passenger vessels. More importantly there are certain crimes that are exclusive to the seas like piracy and smuggling. Piracy is towards the extent that it is synonymous with crimes in the high seas. This paper will explore the causes, issues, combat of piracy in detail. The main case as to piracy is who has the jurisdiction to combat piracy? The (UNCLOS) is the guiding legislation behind the laws of the sea. This paper shall discuss the jurisdiction of the crimes, the crimes that occur as well as legislations combatting it.

73. Rise in child labour during lockdown

The prevalence of child labour is one of the most important problems confronting the world at large, especially in developing countries such as India. In many cases, child labour is mainly necessitated by the economic compulsions of the parents. The main reason which gives rise to child labour is widespread unemployment and underemployment among the adult poor strata of the population, inter alia, due to the sharp growth of population. Large families with low income and often lack educational facilities, illiteracy, and ignorance of parents about the importance of education as well as about the impact of labour on the health of their children are some of the reasons which breed child labour. Over the years, however, global consciousness about the seriousness of the problem has been created. The constitution of India also committed to the protection and promotion of welfare considerations over the economic ones. Therefore, a series of committees and commissions have been appointed by the Government of India either specifically on the question of child labor, which gives us insights into the problem and to give suggestions to alleviate this problem. The policies of modern governments in relation to child labor and child development must be pragmatic and comprehensive.

74. Execution or Rehabilitation: A comparative analysis between the criminalization of drug use in the Philippines and Portugal

On the 1st of July,2016, The Phillippines, a small Asian nation with a population of close to 103 million people, had shaken the world by democratically electing an unconventional man as their leader for the next five years. Rodrigo Duterte, his fellow countrymen, affectionately known as 'Rody.' As a mayor, Duterte sparked various controversies regarding his comments on rape and extrajudicial murders. His victory in the assembly elections had provided him with powers enough to fulfil his extremist promises to his voters. Duterte’s “War on Drugs” had convinced his people that the only solution to the Philippines growing drug problem is through extrajudicial killings. This unjust and bloody response to drug abuse came into effect, further leading to a murder spree within the poverty-stricken slums of The Philippines. About 12,000 Kilometers away, a tiny European country changed the world by decriminalising all kinds of drugs. In July 2001, Portugal had analysed the growing concern of drug use in the country. About 50 per cent of HIV positive cases in the country were related to drugs and, the Portuguese legislature approved a drug policy that reduced drug use to an administrative offence. The state sponsored the accused with various forms of social rehabilitation required for such drug users to blend back into society as social assets. This paper provides a contrast between both these extreme systems that had enacted such drug responses to overcome the growing concern following drug dealing and drug use among various age groups. This paper will also discuss the statistics regarding drug usage in these countries before enacting such drug policies. This article will also conclude with an analysis on whether the criminalisation of drug use is a necessary strategy for reducing the rising cases of drug-related diseases and deaths.

75. Impact on rubber plantation during COVID-19: A study of Kottayam district

Rubber is considered the most important and useful material in the world due to its wide scope of use in our normal daily existence. Ordinary rubber comes from the milk of rubber trees. Technical rubber is made from synthetic materials. Rubber was originally called CAUCHO to imply sobbing wood. Joseph Priestly is the man behind the use of rubber. The rubber plant is a huge, fast-growing, very durable woody plant normally, filled in the tropical zone. The dominant part of India’s developing rubber land is held in a thin belt on the Western Ghats. Moderate and evenly scattered rainfall of about 2000mm and 4000mm per year, with a warm tropical temperature of about 21℃ to 35℃, a warm and humid environment, and a slightly acidic lateritic soil are excellent elements for the development of the rubber plant. Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and southern Kanara district in Karnataka is the common rubber development belts in India. From the outside, we look at Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are the three of the main leading rubber producers. Natural rubber is cultivated in 16 states in India. With over 6,00,000 hectares, Kerala tops rubber cultivation, followed by Tripura with over 85,038 hectares under plantation. Other major natural rubber producers are Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and other northeastern states. Under this study, the condition of rubber plantations will be explained before and after covid-19. The study basically attempts to study and analyze the fundamental factors that influence the price of Natural rubber in India. The study was done exclusively based on secondary data. The data were analyzed using graphs, correlations, and multiple regressions. The relationship between the domestic price and the international price was analyzed using Nominal Protection Coefficient. Based on the secondary objective to study the impact of the fall in rubber prices with reference to farmers in the Kottayam district and to study the socio-economic profile of the farmers in the Kottayam district, the data was collected by conducting direct interviews scheduled through a questionnaire with the farmers in Kottayam district. The living conditions of rubber cultivators are poor. The fall in rubber prices has affected the livelihood of farmers who depend only on rubber cultivation. Many of them have taken agricultural loans from banks or other private financing companies to meet the expenses of rubber cultivation. Without a minimum profitable price and support from the government and rubber board, it will be difficult for rubber growers to continue cultivation.

76. Drowsiness detection using OpenCV

With this python project, we will make Drowsiness Detection System. An incalculable number of individuals drive on the roadway day and night. Cabbies, transport drivers, transporter, and individuals voyaging significant distances experience a lack of sleep. Because of this, it turns out to be extremely dangerous to drive when feeling lethargic. Most of the mishaps occurred because of the tiredness of the driver. In this way, to prevent these mishaps we are constructing a framework using python, OpenCV, and Keras which will caution the driver when he feels drowsy. Drowsiness Detection is a security innovation that can prevent mishaps that can be brought about by drivers who dozed off while driving. The goal of this halfway python project is to make a Drowsiness Detection system that will identify that an individual’s eyes are shut for a couple of moments. The framework will caution the driver when tiredness is recognized.
