Role of the Fair-Trade Organisation on the status of women producers with respect to global trade

The fair-trade movement began in the year 1946, in America at the time when handicrafts were being imported. The concept of fair trade soon gained popularity in the U.S. and also spread to Europe. The foundation of the fair trade movement was based on the fact that the producers receive a fair price for their produce. FT program began with the handicrafts and soon expanded to other products like coffee, banana, sugar, tea, wine. It was in the mid-1980s when the model of fair trade came into the picture and at that time, progressive entrepreneurs including Paul Katzeff started importing coffee from Nicaragua so as to support the Sandinista farmers. The plight of the Nicaraguan farmers was such that they were suffering from starvation and malnutrition at the time when the U.S. boycotted their country’s goods. A national standard for fair trade certification came into existence which was founded in the year 1997 as an umbrella organization with the aim to collaborate and coordinate this system of fair trade across the world. In the backdrop of Fair Trade, the study aims to analyze the impact of the Fair-Trade Organization on the status of women producers in the field of global trade. It seeks to understand the role played by FTO in reducing the gender gap by taking into consideration the gender inequalities in global trade. Further, it focuses on the effectiveness of FTO in terms of the participation of women producers in global trade and also the benefits received by the women producers after its establishment. This study will help in better understanding the role played by Fairtrade in addressing the various issues faced by women producers and how effective it has been in reducing gender inequality in global trade.

Economic load dispatch problem using improved flower pollination algorithm

In this paper, we have designed an improved flower pollination algorithm to find the optimal solution for the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The solution to the ELD problem reduces the generation cost and power losses in the smart grid. In the proposed algorithm, we have considered a three-unit system. The performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is done based on generation cost and power losses. Further, it is compared with the popular optimization algorithm such as particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and flower pollination algorithm. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm takes 3602.9 $/h generation cost and 9.3205 power losses which is far lesser than existing optimization algorithms.

Effectiveness of relaxation therapy on stress among teachers of mentally challenged schools

Stress is an inevitable word in this fast-spinning technical world. Efficient and Effective performance depends on the better psychological well-being of the employees. A study is conducted to assess the Effectiveness of Relaxation therapy on stress among 120 teachers of mentally disabled children. A quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design is adopted. Data collected through self-report using the stress Assessment Scale. The findings revealed that there is a significant reduction of stress (t=23.68,p<0.001) and showed that relaxation therapy is effective in reducing stress.

An integrated approach for the smart grid using the data compression and encryption algorithm

Smart Grid network continuously monitors the electricity demand and usage through various smart appliances. Continuous monitoring generates a large amount of redundant data. Besides that, the data is sensitive to attacks. To overcome these challenges, we have designed an integrated approach for a smart grid using the data compression and encryption algorithm. We have used the DRACO algorithm for data compression. Further, we have designed an improved chaotic cubic map algorithm by hybrid it with AES layers to enhance security. For validation purposes, the data is randomly generated and various performance metrics are calculated for it. In the last, the proposed integrated approach is compared with the existing approaches. The results show that the proposed approach is superior to the existing approaches.

A literature review on EELS – Intrinsic characteristic of producing electric current

An eel scientifically known as Anguilliformes is a fish consisting of ray fins which belong to the Actinopterygii family i.e. family of eels in freshwater. It has 8 suborders, 19 families and 119 genera, and somewhere around 800 species. Eels have various intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics which alter and develop when they grow physically. Eels have an elongated structure (long length fish) with a length ranging from 5cm to 4m and weighing from 30g-25kg (in adults). Eels swim by generating waves from their body structure .they can swim in both forward and reverse directions forming body waves. They generally reside in deep waters or sea in holes called “eel’s pit”. Some of the eels may stay at freshwaters but they too will come back to the seas for breeding. There are two types of eels that are commonly seen one is deep-sea spiny eels and the other is the electric eels producing an electric current of high voltage. Both these characteristics of eels help them from protecting themselves from predators. This review paper considers the lather characteristics of the eels of producing electric current using their own intrinsic characters and how they behave during the act of producing current

Review Paper

Gender bias at workplace and the remedial measures

Despite the substantial rise in the number of women joining the workforce, gender parity continues to suffer, especially at higher positions. In India, 85% of working women claim to have missed out on a promotion or hike because of their gender. About two-thirds of working women (63%) and working mothers (69%) say they faced discrimination at work due to familial and household responsibilities. It is the need of the hour for organizations to reimagine their diversity practices and offer greater flexibility to caregivers, to increase female participation in the workforce. Reduced and flexible schedules, more sabbaticals, and new opportunities to upskill and learn are critical offerings that can help organizations attract, hire, and retain more female talent. Gender bias is the tendency to prefer one gender over another. It is a form of unconscious bias, or implicit bias, which occurs when one individual unconsciously attributes certain attitudes and stereotypes to another person or group of people.
