 Abstract

Current study was designed with the main purpose to study terrestrial orchid species of Karnataka for their mycorrhizal association. The present investigation on the study of mycorrhizae in the selected terrestrial orchid included collection of orchid plant, rhizosphere soil samples and nutritional analysis of rhizosphere soil. The terrestrial orchid was collected from natural habitats from various locations of Kemmangundi and Sagar provinces of Karnataka State and was later investigated for mycorrhizal association. The rhizosphere soil samples along with underground parts the above plants were collected. Both physico-chemical and chemical analysis of the soil like determination of pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon, macro and micronutrients were carried out. Soil analysis in all the samples have revealed that even though soil was rich with humus and contained adequate amount of soil nutrients, phosphorus was found to be low. Soil phosphorus availability was positively related to mycorrhizal diversity probably because under low soil phosphorus availability plants and fungi are both phosphorus limited.

 Abstract

Liver fibrosis is the formation of abnormally large amount of tissue in the liver. It occurs when the liver attempts to repair and replace damaged cells. Non-invasive assessment of severity of liver fibrosis is crucial for understanding histology and making decisions on antiviral treatment for chronic HBV [Hepatitis B virus] in view of associated risk of biopsy. The evaluation of relation between serum markers based on ultra sound images. It will detect accuracy and shows staging of liver fibrosis. To avoid the drawbacks of liver biopsy non-invasive method using machine-learning techniques was developed recently. In this paper image, information is also included in the dataset. For image information, the new algorithm was used that is ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System). In this concept, an approach has been taken to predict liver grades & what effects its severity.

 Abstract

Paschim Medinipur district is located in the south western part of West Bengal. Data was collected through household survey from the elder member of the one hundred tribal family. This paper highlights on socioeconomic status of parents of the tribal drop out students of Paschim Medinipur district in West Bengal. The researcher found that 55% tribal parents are illiterate, 35% tribal parents just enrolled in lower primary, 5% tribal parents had studied up to the upper primary level and 5% tribal parents had studied up to the high school. 80% tribal parents were dependent on agriculture , 10% tribal families on small business and 10% tribal parents on small contractual service. They had no Government job. Majority of the respondents monthly income was below Rs. 5000. Only 2% respondents monthly income ranges from Rs. 5001 to 10000.

 Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of conditional volatility of the Indian stock market and compare the nature of volatility between the boom-and-bust phase of the Indian Financial cycle. The asymmetric volatility modelling is conducted using Exponential GARCH (EGARCH), Asymmetric power GARCH (APARCH) and GJR-GARCH on S&P Nifty 50 during July 2001 to June 2017 to arrest the nature of Indian financial cycle. We perform Value at Risk back-testing for adequacy of model fitness and compare half-life estimation for understanding the nature of persistence. Our study identifies APARCH (1,1) to be the best model for explaining boom phase volatility and EGARCH (1,1) as the best model for bust phase. The study also reveals the existence of inverse leverage effect in the boom-and-bust phase of the financial cycle. Our study originally contributes by comparing and documenting the empirical performance of GARCH processes during the boom-and-bust phase of Indian Financial Cycle. These empirical results would be beneficial for better risk management, portfolio optimisation and asset pricing.

 Abstract

In the years to come, one thing that our world would have to deal with more and more is undoubtedly natural disaster. Whether caused by the ever increasing vagaries of nature or by the epistemic hubris of the post-humanist world----natural disasters are bound to leave in its wake, memories of trauma caused by unprecedented loss of life and property and mass scale displacement. The present paper would like to interrogate the possible epistemic shifts that the post-humanist world view has undergone to understand, analyse and appropriate the first changing world around us. The paper would also extensively analyze how those paradigm shifts is casting its shadow within the landscape of literary imagination. The final aim of the paper would be to suggest a different conception of what it is to be human in this fast deteriorating world around us.
