 Abstract

This study try to bring out some of the salient features of the smoking patterns in India with the help of multinomial logistic regression model. The study showed that there is a positive association between smoking and age. Another factor that influences the smoking habit is the average number of years spent in school, as the study showed that the chance of being heavy smoker or light smoker decreases as the average number of years spent in school increases. One of the important implications of this result was that, educating people about dangers of smoking can have significant positive impact on, people convert from smoking to not smoking at all. Study also established few interesting association between smoking habits and the employment status.

 Abstract

The leading function initiates action and it is from here actual work starts. There are three elements in leading namely, motivation, leadership and communication. The Government of Mizoram through its industrial policies identified agro-based industries, handloom and handicraft industries, sericulture industries, electronic industries, village and cottage industries and selected consumer industries as priority industries to be developed in the State. Consistent with this, the Government of Mizoram set up five Public Sector Undertakings(PSU). However, these PSUs have failed to achieve the objectives for which they have been incorporated. The PSUs suffer from poor managerial efficiency which has an adverse impact on the financial and operational performance. This article looks into the leading function of the PSUs to identify the problems that ails its effective application.

 Abstract

In this digital era, a lot of information is conveyed through emails. The email service provider applications show the users their email data but do not process it further for more convenience of the users. Automatic event generation and detailed email classification are absent in the conventional email applications. In this paper, an approach for the classification of mails, summarization and automatic event extraction through emails is discussed. The emails are classified into multiple classes using Machine Learning and not only in spam and ham. Rule-based extraction is used for summarization. The date, time, subject and venue of the event present is extracted through emails using text mining. The application is evaluated over many emails and is providing satisfactory results.

 Abstract

Due to a limited number of offshore financial centres and the volume of transactions, offshore banking is a pervasive activity. Offshore banking has a wide impact on the financial system surveillance. The offshore banks are more vulnerable to solvency and foreign exchange risk then onshore banks due to the favourable regulatory frameworks in OFC. The regulatory framework for the onshore could be transmitted to the offshore banks in order to ensure the soundness of the same. Emerging economies which are more vulnerable to a reversal in capital flows, spontaneous accumulation of short-term external debt, and has exposure to currency fluctuations and selective capital account liberalization becomes a qualitative issue for offshore banking in these areas.A combined and focused effort is necessary to assist the emerging economies, to avoid financial crisis by disseminating internationally accepted regulatory standards which shall be adequate and appropriate for optional banking the standards will act supplementary to Basil Committees Core Principle and shall include the Basel�s Committees Minimum Standards along with their other related initiatives of the International Supervisory Community. Third, the Fund�s work on promoting good governance also takes a negative blood owing to these offshore banking. It is an obvious fact that offshore banking are not as transparent as normal cross-border transactions for the reasons such as of complex ownership structure and relationships among The jurisdictions that are involved in the transaction. This paper intends to throw some light on offshore banking with regards to the aforementioned considerations. The focus of this paper shall be offshore banking as it constitutes the major portion of offshore activities, keeping in mind that nonbanks, corporations etc also play a vital role in offshore markets.

 Abstract

The handicraft industry remained an important key in the economic development of J&K UT. Being environment friendly, these activities are best suited to the UT as they are more labour intensive and less capital intensive in nature, therefore having scope for employment generation at a large scale. Handmade products are exported all over India and other parts of the world. Kashmiri handicrafts eliminated financial crises among those people who are affected with the physical disabilities. After handicrafts gained foreign exposure with positive feedback, many youth made this, their profession. Kashmiri Handicrafts is the second largest and preferable industry after fruit in Kashmir Valley, and have earned worldwide fame for their attractive designs, functional utility and high quality craftsmanship. In absence of other manufacturing industries in the state, handicrafts remained a key economic activity from time immemorial. The present study focuses on employment and production of handicrafts in the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state now a Union territory.

 Abstract

Expressions and manifestations of human neurodiversity tend to hold the key to manifold opportunities and challenges when translated into a special need or diversity. When on one hand, disability is subjected to denigration, social exclusion, stereotyped understanding and despise; on the other hand disability is also manifested in the form of different and unique expressions of boundless abilities. Specifically, evidential literature around the Globe have reflected the unflinching creative abilities of the children with special needs. The present study was undertaken to cross-cut through the existing challenges in teaching-learning environments pertaining to the Right to Creative Expression and addressing Neurodiversity among children with special needs; to curtail stereotypes of �inability� among the children and to foster a positive classroom environment with optimal grounds for expression of their latent talents, inclusivity and strengthening of Child Rights as a whole. The study variables included ability enrichment, metacognition and inclusive classroom ergonomics in a 2X2 quasi experimental single subject research design methodology. Results of the present intervention study indicated a positive and significant difference among the research variables at .05 and .01levels of significance. This further indicated that fostering neurodiversity and talents among children with special needs in teaching-learning environments enhance as well as enrich their Right to Creative Expression and Neurocognitive Learning abilities. The study also paved the way for cross-cutting through the existent stereotypes related to disability and Disablism among children with Special Needs. Both quantitative and qualitative results were suggestive of creating an enriching teaching-learning environment for children with special needs, in a synchronization with their Child Rights and neurodiversity-based cognitive disposition.

 Abstract

Aim: To assess the effect of skipping meals on nutritional status of individuals both males and females 20 - 40 years. Objective: 1)To assess nutritional status using anthropometric measurements. 2) To assess the nutritional status using 24 hour recall method. 3) To assess the dietary patterns, sleep patterns, medical history, reproductive health and physical activity of both the groups. 4) To observe the effect of skipping meals on various factors. Methods: The study was conducted in Mumbai. Purposive convenience sampling method was used for the participants both males and females in the age group of 20 - 40 year. Total sample size was 70. Tool used were 24hr Dietary recall method. Anthropometric measurement like current weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (W/H) were collected and analyzed using WHO criteria. The data collected was coded using statistical analysis tool. Analyses were performed using SPSS software version 20. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results and discussion: In this study 43 females and 27 males were included, in which 82.9% samples belonged to nuclear family. Majority of the samples were found to be graduates (50%) who majorly belonged to high socio- economic status (52%). The BMI of the samples was found to be falling in obese category 48.6%.Waist-Hip ratios revealed that, females had a higher risk (38.6%) of metabolic complications compared to males. It was observedthat the BMI increases when the samples skipped meals and showed a positive correlation at (p = 0.00). Samples who ate less than 3 meals in a day showed higher BMI (26.15 � 2.8) compared to those who had more than 3 meals in a day. These two parameters showed positive correlation among them. (p = 0.027). Conclusion: In the present study it can be concluded that less than 3 meals in a day and intake of less calories from food increases the individuals BMI.

 Abstract

The places which are far from Grid connection equip micro grid by using Renewable Energy sources. In this paper Remote area places depends on Renewable energy sources like wind power which is capable of supply for local loads. But loads are varying with respect to time; to meet the power demand of this varying local load can be handled by WECS with battery enabled system. Grid side converter connected with Wind generation and BESS are capable of handling the variable load in the system, which can act as static synchronous compensator. This STATCOM is responsible for providing necessary active, reactive power to the grid. The Grid side converter is also responsible for maintaining the quality of power, constant frequency, voltage levels. In this paper different loads are considered like Linear, Non linear and dynamic loads. The system is capable for handling the any type of load demand. Simulation is also gives the results regarding different load demands.
