 Abstract

The growing ecological disaster caused by plastic waste is one of the most urgent concerns of our day. Plastic, a substance once praised for its long-lasting and adaptable nature, has now become a lasting and poisonous kind of garbage, polluting our environments and bodies of water. This initiative, dubbed "Conversion of Waste Plastic Bottles into 3D Printing Filament," presents a ground breaking solution to this issue by transforming discarded plastic into a lucrative asset for the expanding 3D printing sector. The advent of 3D printing technology has brought about a significant transformation in several industries, such as manufacturing and healthcare, by facilitating the fabrication of intricate objects with exceptional accuracy. Nevertheless, the filaments often used in 3D printing, which are referred to as materials, frequently originate from finite resources, hence intensifying the ecological impact. This research suggests an alternate method by creating 3D printing filaments from recycled plastic bottles, so converting a widespread environmental pollution into a valuable resource. Our approach consists of collecting discarded plastic bottles, mostly made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is a commonly used polymer in packaging. The bottles undergo a thorough cleaning, shredding, and controlled heating process using modern nozzle technology. Further, the liquefied plastic is forced out via a small opening to form slender threads, which are further cooled and coiled onto spools to produce filaments for 3D printing. This procedure not only redirects plastic trash away from landfills but also reduces the need for the manufacturing of new plastic, so contributing to a circular economy. The study further investigates the characteristics and efficiency of reused filaments in 3D printing applications. Initial findings suggest that the recycled filaments show similar quality to filaments that are commercially accessible, thereby proving the viability of this method. Moreover, the experiment highlights the possibility of producing filaments locally, which may help decrease emissions from shipping and promote self-reliance in 3D printing materials. Ultimately, this idea represents a fundamental change in how we handle trash and produce materials, transforming the issue of plastic waste into a viable option for environmentally-friendly manufacturing. Through the conversion of discarded plastic bottles into 3D printing filaments, we reduce the negative environmental effects of plastic waste and support the development of sustainable manufacturing methods. This programme demonstrates human creativity in addressing ecological concerns and highlights the capacity of new technology to promote sustainable development. This project represents progress towards a future in which garbage is not considered a final product, but rather a valuable.

 Abstract

Nowadays, different types of replacement of sand by plastic grains in concrete is getting important in researches. In order to better understand the behavior of concrete piles during curing, exposure to different climatic conditions, and potential deterioration, this study investigates the compressive strength of plastic grain concrete pile by use of embedded temperature sensors. After analysing characteristics of different plastic grain concrete (low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene and polypropylene), HDPE (high density polyethylene) is more sustainable with concrete mix. For this study compressive strength of plastic grain (high density polyethylene) pile is compared with M20 grade concrete pile. During the casting process, temperature sensors are first strategically inserted into concrete piles at top, centre and bottom as part of the research. The exothermic hydration response may be examined by the continuous temperature data recording that these sensors will provide during the curing process. From temperature data maturity and strength is calculated using Nurse- Saul (MNS) function.

 Abstract

In pursuit of sustainable development, global economies have banded together. This stands in stark contrast to earlier approaches, in which governments actively sought to advance their economies. Several natural resources have been exhausted and ecological balances have been upset because of nation's competing for economic development. This effect manifests itself in various ways, one of which is the acceleration of global warming. A solution that would make the world a better place for generations to come is urgently required because this endangers human life as we know it. To guarantee that development occurs in a manner that preserves and passes on to future generations undamaged natural resources, the phrase "sustainable development" was coined. This paper attempts to understand and analyze the challenges that India faces in reaching its Sustainable Development Goals and presents solutions to overcome them.

 Abstract

Road traffic accidents are increasing rapidly in India with the increase in traffic density. An accident is the result of factors such as road defects, human errors, engineering defects of the vehicles, non-availability of pedestrian facilities, cyclist facilities, circumstantial factors such as weather conditions, visibility etc. Accidents cause death, disablement, damage to property and health, social suffering, and also general degradation of the environment. In this project study, Traffic accident analysis of selected stretch of Yavatmal district in Maharashtra state is carried out project study aims to calculate accident rate and frequency for a particular road stretch. Literature review is conducted the traffic agencies and public concentrates at the measures to reduce such accident severity in order to reduce the fatality rate. The location of high risk where crash tends to concentrate over the time are hazardous locations .The analysis of traffic signals and road safety devices present on the road using geodetic techniques. The road stretch chosen for purpose of our study is extending from Sharda chowk to Lohara square. This 5 kilometer road stretch is divided into segments of 1000 meter each, for the purpose of analysis . The calculations described in this project is based on recorded accidents and data about accidents. The information available for accidents studies is taken form local police stations in form of FIR, the data of last two years (2022-2024) is extracted form FIR records. The type of data extracted is like location of accidents and fatalities in the selected stretch. We have calculated accident rate and accident frequency by using methods. Monthly variation, hourly variation of accident rate on the road and vehicle. Road safety awareness should be raise among users to reduce accidents.

 Abstract

Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard emerges as an insightful reinterpretation of Jameson's enduring assertion that "all third world literature is national allegory." The novel exemplifies how localized literature from the Global South functions allegorically as global literature, dramatizing the impact of multinational capitalism on rural and semi-urban spaces. Desai introduces themes of capitalism, exploitation, and globalization through her characters' actions, rendering the narrative an allegory of the extensive modernization projects that swept the nation and their repercussions on rural India. This paper engages with the theories of David Damrosch, Franco Moretti, and Pascale Casanova to delineate features of World Literature, incorporating aspects of ecocriticism to interpret the novel and its events as a national allegory.

 Abstract

The malwares being designed by attackers are polymorphic and metamorphic which have the ability to change their code as they propagate. moreover, the diversity and volume of their variants severely undermine the effectiveness of traditional defences which typically use signature-based techniques and are unable to detect the previously unknown malicious executables. The threats malware pose to the people around the world are increase rapidly. A software that sneaks to your computer system without your knowledge with a harmful intent to disrupt your computer operations. Due to the vast number of malwares, it is impossible to handle malware by human engineers. Therefore, security researchers are taking great efforts to develop accurate and effective techniques to detect malware. Studies suggest that the impact of malware is getting worse. Two types of malware analysis are described here. One is Static Malware Analysis and other is Dynamic Malware Analysis. Static Malware Analysis has some limitations. So, Dynamic Malware Analysis is preferable for Malware Analysis.

 Abstract

Cervicitis, inflammation of the cervix, presents a significant health problem worldwide, affecting women of reproductive age. This article provides a comprehensive overview of cervicitis, encompassing its etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies. Infectious agents, particularly sexually transmitted pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and herpes simplex virus, are major contributors to cervicitis. Non-infectious causes, including mechanical trauma, chemical irritants, and allergic reactions, also play a role. Symptoms of cervicitis vary widely, ranging from asymptomatic to vaginal discharge, bleeding, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and cervical cytology. Timely identification and management of cervicitis are crucial to prevent complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Treatment strategies focus on addressing the underlying cause, along with homeopathic medicines and lifestyle modification.

 Abstract

The development and implementation of a Raspberry Pi-based automated fruit sorting machine utilizing advanced computer vision techniques. The primary objective of this project is to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of fruit sorting processes in agricultural industries. The system leverages a Raspberry Pi microcontroller integrated with a high-resolution camera to capture images of fruits as they pass along a conveyor belt. Using machine learning algorithms, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the system analyzes the images to classify and sort fruits based on predefined criteria such as size, color, and surface defects. The sorted fruits are then directed into appropriate bins by an actuator mechanism controlled by the Raspberry Pi. Extensive testing of the system demonstrated high accuracy rates in fruit classification and sorting, proving the efficacy and potential for large-scale application in the agricultural sector. This innovative approach significantly reduces manual labor, enhances productivity, and ensures consistent quality in fruit sorting operations.

 Abstract

Many public funded social welfare schemes in India are suffering from implementation of problems. Most of these problems can be traced that missing or broken information flows and accountability loops. First, beneficiaries are often not aware about the schemes and the rules and regulations governing the schemes and the government officers do not have any direct medium to obtain feedback on the schemes from the beneficiaries. Secondly, beneficiaries are not able to take the access scheme related to the data due to an Internet access and literacy challenge because the data is often posted on the web-based MIS systems. Thirdly, when the entitlements are rejected there access is not effective avenue to redress grievances as most grievances filed on the government run helplines to go unresolved or the resolutions are ineffective. In this research paper we are addressing the questions of how to argument the grievance redressal systems to improvement their uptake and effectiveness; how can low- literacy users access their information on web-MIS platform and reports discrepancy in data; and how can government officers directly obtain the feedback on the implementation of the schemes from the beneficiaries. We have designed model grievance redressal which are connected to people of government officers through an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) System.
