An investigation into the causes behind gender inequality in India with a special focus on possible solutions and analysis of the progress already made

This paper is conceptualized around gender inequality in India. It explores the causes of gender inequality and provides solutions for bridging the gap- one being financial literacy. It and also highlights several government initiatives undertaken to bridge the gap and empower females. It briefly summarises the outcomes gained from the interviews which were conducted with some of the women at senior-most positions in the Corporate sector in India. It explores and discusses the significant progress which has been made in the corporate sector and with the emergence of the service sector as a big contributor to India’s GDP.

Evaluation of free radical scavenging activity and skin whitening potential of cyanobacteria

In day-to-day life, our skin is exposed to various chemicals, environmental pollution, and UV radiation which results in the early onset of photoaging and skin darkening. There is increased demand for skin whitening cosmetics for skin protection as well as aesthetic looks. The current skin whitening agents used in cosmetic industries have adverse effects on the skin. There is increased demand for natural active agents as a skin whitening agent. Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in nature and quickly adopt different environments.1 Alga produce various secondary metabolites like carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, MAA (mycosporine-like amino acids) which are antioxidants in nature and have therapeutic potential in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry2. This study focuses on the isolation and characterization of cyanobacteria from different environmental niches. The antioxidant potential of whole-cell extracts of cyanobacteria was evaluated using DPPH inhibition assay and ABTS assay. Their potential application as a skin whitening agent was studied by anti-tyrosinase activity using the mushroom tyrosinase enzyme. The tyrosinase inhibition activity of cyanobacterial isolates was observed in the range of 30 to 40%. They have good antioxidant potential. They are rich in carbohydrate, protein, and lipid content indicate the potential of the cyanobacterial extracts so they have potential in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Underwater image enhancement using improved Particle Swarm Optimization

The underwater images are used for monitoring the underwater pipelines and aquaculture. However, obtaining a clear image is a difficult task due to light scattering and absorption issues. Due to these issues, a very low contrast, blur, and color distortion underwater image is obtained. To overcome these issues, enhancement algorithms have been designed. In the literature, conventional algorithms are used for enhancement purposes are histogram equalization, stretching, and power-law expression. However, these algorithms over-enhance the images if proper parameters are not taken under consideration. Therefore, swarm-based optimization algorithms have been used to determine the optimal values of these parameters. In this paper, we have designed an improved particle swarm optimization-based enhancement algorithm. In the proposed method, initially, pre-processing of the underwater image is done and its channels are extracted. After that, based on the mean values of the channels, the channels are classified into three types, namely, superior, intermediate, and inferior. Based on the superior channel, gain factors are determined and enhance the intermediate and inferior channels. Next, the power-law expression is applied to the inferior and intermediate channels to enhances its gamma value. The gamma value in the proposed algorithm is determined using an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. In the improved PSO algorithm, the initial population of the PSO algorithm is defined using a chaotic map algorithm therefore PSO algorithm does not fall into the local optimal solution. In the last, contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) for enhancement. The experimental results are performed for the standard dataset images and simulated in MATLAB. Further, qualitative and quantitative analysis is done for the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm is superior as compared to the existing algorithms

Online-Fraud Detection, Web-Scraped Dataset Analysis and Algorithm Performance Evaluation

The volume of online information transfer has raised significantly in past few years. It is mainly due to various online portals that are currently one of the primary sources used by people. It is not always the case that the information found online is correct unless gained through some trusted and verified source. This is the reason why the user falls victim in the hands of false media. The term “Click-Bait” and “Fake News” are heard several times but people are unaware of the harm it is causing. The paper incorporates a Novel Neural Network Approach where Headlines are specifically taken into consideration. The model is tested for various types of headlines included in the Dataset. The proposed system is not only tested for Click-Bait Datasets collected from various news sites but also web-scraped data. Considerable results are obtained in terms of Accuracy, F1-score, Precision and Recall.

Embedded system design for the forced circulation system

In today’s world, most people are shifting towards renewable energy resources like solar which is globally accepted. The Forced Circulation Solar Water Heater System is not well-known but is one of the efficient types of water heater systems. In our country, such a system uses old techniques and is also costly. But we had upgraded it using an Embedded design which is much better in the economical and easy upgrade.
