Female foeticide perceptions and practices among women in Punjab

Female foeticide besides skewed sex ratio and its attendant social evils has grave ethical undertones, especially for medical professionals and our commitment to save lives. Randomly selected 100 women were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule to explore the female foeticide perceptions and practices among couples in district Muktsar city and district Shahid Bhagat Singh Nagar of Punjab. Prenatal sex determination among their relatives and neighbors were reported by 80% respondent, though they themselves had never resorted to it. Could this figure influence the proxy rates for community behaviour, perhaps, this needs in-depth exploration. Supporting to this fact, 25.9% of respondents reported of ever been pressurized by their family members to undergo prenatal sex diagnosis of their foetus. Encouragingly 90% of respondents had opined that that repeated prenatal sex diagnosis and abortions are detrimental to the mental and physical health of a woman and are wholly preventable. Stricter laws and honest enforcement of these laws were the commonest suggestions by the respondent to prevent female foeticide in society.

Automated seed sowing robot

Agriculture is the backbone for India. In agriculture ploughing, seed sowing is one of the major stages. Traditionally the farmer will engage labor for ploughing, seed sowing. Thus, it requires a lot of manpower and time taking process. For ploughing, farmers are using tractors and animals, Tractors will work on fossil fuels, fossil fuels will pollute the environment. Tractors also produce the sound which in turn produce the noise pollution, in the other hand the animals are used for ploughing the land instead of using them for ploughing the land, we can use for various tasks such as for products. Here we proposed the Automated Seed Sowing Robot which helps the farmer in ploughing the field and sowing the seeds and covering the seeds. The proposed Automated Seed Sowing Robot has 2 parts let us consider it as HEAD and TAIL. To the HEAD the blades are attached so that it will plough the land and the UR sensor is attached to detect the obstacles in the way. To the TAIL the seeds container is placed and the seeds are placed in a regular interval and at the haft is used to cover the seed.

The use of a self-developed board game as a tool to enhance the mastery of vocabulary on action verbs

This action research focuses on enhancing the pupils’ mastery of vocabulary on action verbs. The research participants of this study were four Year 5 pupils. In this research, The Kemmis and McTaggart model were used as a research design. The ‘V-Goldenur’ game which is an adaptation of the famous ‘Monopoly’ game was used as an intervention in this research in enhancing pupils’ vocabulary on action verbs. ‘V-Goldenur’ game was carried out in five sessions which each session focusing on five action verbs. The findings of the research were analyzed qualitatively using the triangulation method. The instruments used were document analysis, observation checklist and group interview. The participants had been given Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 to compare the improvement in their vocabulary on action verbs before and after the intervention. The research findings showed that there had been an improvement in the participants’ vocabulary on action verbs performance after the intervention sessions. Nevertheless, it is recommended if more words could be added in this research to help the participants in the mastery of vocabulary on action verbs.

Offline examination system using Raspberry Pi

India is developing, cities are advancing, but still, the villages and remote areas are facing problems. We are still dealing with major challenges pertaining to digital sectors. Even though the internet, penetration has evolved in India, we are still facing continuous network availability issues other discrepancies. This is significantly a high alarming factor for the education sector. To solve this problem, we have come up with a unique robust solution. So we have developed a Linux based operating system for embedded devices. The operating system is strict as per user requirement for the particular application here it for offline online examination where we break the network into convenient units to overcome the mentioned drawbacks. This mechanism ensures offline conductance of exams in the intranet environment. Further, this will be re-integrated into the consequent network.

Automatic vehicle speed control

Internet of things technology enables all the physical devices to be connected through the network and exchange data among themselves over the internet. Road accidents are the most dangerous things to happen to a road user especially due to over-speeding. One of the possible ways of controlling speed to prevent accidents is by applying the applications of IoT. The objective of Automatic Vehicle Speed Control is to develop a system that automatically controls the speed of the vehicles at specific areas such as school zones, hospital zones, speed limited areas, etc. Encoders are mounted at the zones which continually transmit codes that are different in different zones. When the vehicle reaches the zone, the decoder present in the vehicle decodes the data transmitted by the encoder and sends the decoded data to the programmed micro-controller which in turn is responsible for decreasing the speed of the vehicle and keeping vehicle speed constant until it moves out of the zone. Later on, the vehicle can regain its original speed. Apart from speed detection this system also has an inbuilt object detector unit (with 555 IC, TSOP 1738, IR) i.e the vehicle comes to halt when it detects any object in front. Thereby avoiding most of the accidents. Automatic Vehicle Speed Control also consists of a unit (with LDR) that automatically illuminates the street lights in the absence of light.

Production and optimization of ethanol production from spent tea waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared from the leaves of camellia sinesis. It is the most widely consumed drink in the world next to the water. Extracts of tea leaves contain polyphenols, amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides and have a stimulatory effect due to its caffeine content. Consumption of tea in India remains modest and due to the presence of carbohydrates tea waste spent is used as a potential substrate for ethanol production. However worldwide demand for ethanol production has been increased in recent years so utilization of leftover tea spent for ethanol production may reduce the cost of the fermentation process. optimization conditions for high levels of ethanol production from leftover tea spent using saccharomyces cerevisiae were determined by alterations of temperature and pH and finally, comparative studies of ethanol production using natural tea spent media to that of commercial production medium leads to the conclusion that the activity of tea spent in ethanol production was slightly high to that of commercial production medium.
