 Abstract

Parents are the most important and influential persons in the life of a child. Children depend on their parents to protect and take care of them while parents monitor and endorse their safety and well-being. Parenting plays a pivotal role in the upbringing of a child. It is an art which involves boosting and assisting the physical, emotional, social, intellectual development of the child right from birth. Ayurveda considered as the basic life science lays special emphasis on parenting. The lines �Taccha nityam prayunjeeta Swasthyam yen anuvartate� from the treatise Caraka Samhita points out the fact that nutrition forms the basic foundation of health. This principle indicates the importance of balanced diet and also emphasizes that one has to inculcate healthy eating habits right from childhood. The importance of child nutrition and its detrimental effects are well explained in Kashyapa Samhita. Healthy development of the child does not wholly rest with the parents but the task of ensuring the same lies with the social community as well. Urbanization which is rapidly spreading throughout developing countries is ensuing changing proportion of urban to rural population. Substantially, it is the urban poor who are at the interface between underdevelopment and industrialization. Society benefits socially and economically from a healthy and thriving child. Accomplishment of the same is achieved by serving support to parents through programs and services of Organizations or Government at community level, state and central levels.

The �strengths�, �weaknesses�, �opportunities� and �threats� (SWOT) Analysis is a management tool, which is used in the organisaton to find out its strengths and weaknesses as a micro environment, Opportunity and threats as Macro Environment . The basic Purpose of SWOT Analysis is to utilize the knowledge of organization properly what it has about its environment and to prepare and formulate its strategy based on it. At present we are fighting with Covid-19 pandemic. We can see the effect of this pandemic globally. Government and health authorities are taking vigorous action for controlling it but still it is increasing at the fast rate. As one side this pandemic has large negative impact on the public, society, Nation and even world but on the other hand it also has positive impact somewhere. The study includes the both side (Negative and Positive) of covid-19, its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in current scenario.

 Abstract

In the term of Modi government from 2014-2019 India had faced many ups and downs regarding the growth because of two major decisions of demonetization and GST rollout which had a direct impact on Indian economy. In this research one of the major reasons for rolling out demonetization which was creating the hype of a cashless economy will be discussed upon. Due to the roll out of demonetization various digital payment wallets got an opportunity to multiply their business. The government also took initiative in order to attract people to use the E- payment method instead of cash. The effort of government was synergize with the discounts and offers offered by private sector players like Paytm, Phone pe etc.

Abstract: Indo- Arab relation is very old and goes beyond history. So many books have been written in this regard but the book � Arab o Hind Ke Taalluqat� written by Maulan Sayyed Sulaiman Nadwi is considered to be pioneer work in this field because he has depended on primary sources of Arabic books, travelogues, memoir etc. compiled by Arab traders and merchants in different ages. The book dealt with deep rooted Indo- Arab relations in the fields of commerce, science, philosophy, literature etc.

 Abstract

Portland cement concrete industry has grown astronomically in recent years. It will continue to grow as the result of continuous urban development. However, Portland cement concrete posses problems such as durability and carbon dioxide emission. Many concrete structures have shown serious deterioration, way before their intended service life, especially those constructed in a corrosive environment (Mehta 1997). Geopolymer is a class of aluminosilicate binding materials synthesized by thermal activation of solid aluminosilicate base materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, GGBS etc., with an alkali metal hydroxide and silicate solution. These binders are currently attracting widespread attention due to their potential utilization as a high performance, environmental friendly and sustainable alternative to Portland cement India being the largest coal fly-ash producer in the world produces abundant by- product from thermal power plant known as coal fuel ash. E-waste is the problem with which every country is dealing right now. Because there is no method for the disposal of e-waste and with the growth in the consumption of electronic goods this problem is getting bigger and bigger. The most effective way of the disposal of e-waste is through landfill and this method require large land mass which is very difficult to find in these days. So this is a very good concept of using e-waste as an ingredient in concrete by partial replacement of aggregate. We cannot replace it completely as aggregate provides some key properties to concrete like strength, durability and workability. Using e-waste as building material seems right when we look at the amount of aggregate required for making concrete and if we are able to reduce that amount it will be very beneficiary as it reduces the load from the natural resources. In our research work we have partially replaced the aggregate with e-waste. We have casted concrete cubes with 4%, 8%, and 12% and 16% e-waste and compare the compressive strength of concrete with conventional concrete cubes of G30 grade. In our results we have found out that compressive strength of cubes starts increasing when we add e-waste, but after a point it starts decreasing. At the inclusion of 8% e-waste the compressive strength of concrete is 47.25N/mm2 and thereafter it starts decreasing. At the replacement of 12.5% aggregate with e-waste the compressive strength of concrete is 38.50N/mm2.

The present study was conducted to assess the Social Networking Sites (SNSs) usage patterns among Indian college students, examine the differences in SNSs usage patterns based on gender, employment status and education levels and investigate the relationship between SNSs usage and self-esteem. Data were collected from 122 college students of age 18-28 years using purposive sampling method. SNSs usage and self-esteem were measured using Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale respectively. Results showed low SNSs usage and high engagement on social media friendships among college students. The students preferred to use multiple SNSs primarily for maintaining existing relationships, academic/professional purposes, entertainment and leisure time. Significant differences on SNSs usage patterns based on gender, employment status and education levels were observed. Self-esteem was not significantly related with SNSs usage.

 Abstract

Copy-move is one type of attack to falsify digital images where the perpetrators copy several regions of the image and then place it on different parts of the same image to cover the part of the image that exists in the area. Therefore, a method is needed to detect copy-move attacks to find out the level the authenticity of a digital image. Image data is often deliberately carried out processes such as the addition of noise and blurring so that copy-move attacks are more difficult to recognize, so that the input image preprocessing stage is a filtering process to eliminate noise in the input image. Stages of detection of copy-move attacks can be shortened by not doing the preprocessing stage but using reliable methods for interference such as noise and blur. Therefore, reliable copy-move attack detection methods are needed for various input image variations so there is no need for preprocessing stages on input images. In this a method created from the modification of two methods of copy-move attack detection, an effective duplication detection method, is used on disturbing images and effective detection methods that are used on images that have disturbances such as noise and blur. Modification of the method is considered effective because of the tolerance between the features of the two methods used. When the input image is distraction-free, the duplication detection feature will become dominant, while the input image has disturbances such as noise and blur, the robust detection feature will become dominant.
