 Abstract

A MOOC, which is an abbreviation of massive open online course, offers free education in an online environment, with no limit on class size. MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in distance education which was first introduced in 2006-2007 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012. Early MOOCs often emphasized open-access features such as open licensing of content, structure and learning goals, to promote the reuse and remixing of resources. MOOC provide students with the opportunity to learn from the finest educational institutes, tutors and through varied technological medium laptops, smartphones, tablet, computers. Constantly improve the scope and avenue of education through participation of prominent educators and crowd sourcing. MOOCs aim to facilitate vocational and professional training so as to improve the prospects of job and employment and to achieve the global interactive and open participation of students via the internet and other medium of technologies. Interaction and communication in MOOCs will provide knowledge and personal learning network to students from the mode and connections in the digital environment. A MOOC is an online course with the option of free and open registration a publicly shared curriculum and open ended outcomes. MOOCs build on the engagement of learners who self-organize their participation according to learning goals, prior knowledge and skills, and common interests. Majority of the students holds a positive perception about online learning than the traditional learning which is more attractive. We often pay for traditional e-learning. MOOCs tend to be similar to a typical university term. E-Learning can theoretically be a one off, although many certainly do have education over times so that learning builds and is re-enforced.

 Abstract

Being the welfare state, India has provided a police and judicial mechanism for the investigation of the crime and trial of the accused. It was presumed that crime and punishment is equal to innocence. It means when any person commits the crime and he is tried and punished for the same, he has again become an innocent person and eligible to live in society as he was living before his committing the crime and it is presumed that justice has been provided to the victim. The ambit of Indian criminal justice was fixed merely to convict the accused on the presumption that convicting the accused is sufficient remedy for the victim. Concentrating only upon the reformation and rehabilitation of the accused the legislature forgot to think that it is the victim who needs to be rehabilitate first. But by the passing of time, the presumption drawn by the legislature has been set aside when specific provisions have been provided in the criminal justice system for compensation to the victim either at the cost of the guilty accused or the state.

 Abstract

Efficacy of routing in mobile ad-hoc networks has become a crucial part as a result of the enhanced use of mobile devices and the demand for self-managed networks. Most of the conventional routing protocols have their own limitations in providing secure and cost-effective services. Many researchers have proposed the use of swarm intelligence protocols for routing in MANET however none of the same provide the de-facto solution to issues related dynamic nature of MANET. A novel approach using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to provide a cost-effective solution is proposed in this paper. The experiment is performed using a network simulator tool NS2 and MATLAB. The routing performance of PSO is compared with a commonly used algorithm called dynamic source routing (DSR). This research clearly dictates that PSO is well suited to the dynamic nature of MANET and its performance is superior to DSR.

 Abstract

Celebrity endorsement is the largest market in the world today. In the commercial, advertisers endorsed celebrity with their products to improve their profits and shift the views opinion of their brand, which has a positive effect on their purchasing actions. And in this study, the focus is on the endorsement on celebrities and its effect on the buying behaviour of customers and their view of the companies brand or products.

 Abstract

Training and development are the act of increasing knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular job or task. The main outcome of training is learning. A trainee learns new habits, refined skills during the training and development period which help them improving performance. It enables an employee to do the job more efficiently and effectively and prepare for the higher-level job. The main focus of this study is to determine the impact of training and development of public sectors.

 Abstract

Right to social security is a kind of natural right and it is recognized as a basic human right by most of international personality. The concept of social security was first introduced in German in the year 1883. Internationally the concept of social security as a basic human right came to play by ILO declaration Philadelphia (1944). Then this right is upheld various International Instruments like international bill of human rights (UDHR, ICESCR) and is reflected in various International conventions. The research article talks about the development and trend of the Human rights and the future of it.

 Abstract

Compressive strength of a concrete is the resistance against the external load. It is one of most crucial properties of hardened concrete. Concrete is very strong in compression and its determination is of utter importance. For years the traditional method of determining compressive strength has been UTM test in which sample cubes are prepared, cured, and tested under load in the Universal Testing Machine thereafter compressive strength can be obtained from strength-load relationship. In early 1940% non-destructive tests were introduced in which compressive strength was determined indirectly by relatively less time taking but a complex calibrated process. However, all these methods have time consuming and complexity drawbacks. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Machine learning techniques are being used to predict the compressive strength. Various techniques have shown high accuracy in predicting the compressive strength. In this work I have used one important machine learning methods which is Back Propagation Neural network (BPNN) for forecasting the 28 days strength of concrete. The actual data after normalization to reduce the range of data difference is segregated randomly into training and testing datasets which are fed to the where from the predicted dataset is obtained. The relevance factor R is computed which establishes the relationship between actual and predicted data and it is highly important parameter for defining the accuracy of the used predicting model. On the basis of high valve of relevance factor and other parameters like RMSE, RSR, MAPE, NMBE, R, E, mean, standard variation and variance, I arrived at the conclusion that BPNN was accurate and efficient model for predicting the compressive strength of concrete.

 Abstract

As the predominant land use of a catchment area changes from rural to urban, the alterations to the natural surface cover are frequently radical that the provision for stormwater quantity and quality control becomes indispensable for the protection of lives and property. Hence the stormwater runoff quantity and quality modeling were carried out. The volume of stormwater runoff generated in the urbanised area for various return period was estimated using StormNET model. StormNET is a package comprising of hydrology, design of drainage network and graphic displays etc. The stormwater quantity modeling involves the computation of peak runoff, surface runoff volume and detention pond design to reduce the peak runoff. The stormwater quality modeling involves the quality characteristics of urban runoff, pollutant buildup, washoff rates and evaluating the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for reducing the pollutant loadings.
