 Abstract

Earthquakes are among the most unpredictable and devastating natural disasters. Of all the methods used for constructing earthquake-resistant multi-storied structures, shear walls are the most commonly adopted. A shear wall is a structural member placed at various locations within a building, extending from the foundation level to the top parapet level, designed to resist lateral forces parallel to the wall plane. These walls are crucial in preventing damage from lateral forces due to earthquakes and wind. This paper reviews the research on multi-storied buildings with and without shear walls. In India, shear walls are the preferred choice for earthquake-resistant structures. The configuration and utility of these structural walls may vary, but their placement within a building is critical for effectively resisting lateral forces

 Abstract

Financial independence is proportionately related with social independence. Due to the financial independence, women are breaking free from traditional mindsets and old values. As a result of financial self-reliance, women's self-confidence is increasing, allowing them to make important life decisions in their lives independently, which was once unimaginable for women. Women have always been identified through their relationships with men - as a daughter, wife, or mother. However, with financial stability, women are now learning to establish their own identities and live with dignity. This is exemplified in Pracheta Gupta's novel 'Dhulobalir Jibon’. The text discusses how financial independence is empowering women to break free from traditional societal expectations, pressure and imposed norms and rules, and establish their own identities, leading to increased self-confidence and autonomy in decision-making.

 Abstract

Computerized accounting systems (CAS) have become indispensable tools for firms in the digital age, facilitating effective financial management and decision-making. Organizations' financial management is now much more accurate and efficient, thanks to the integration of CAS. But it has also brought with it a host of cybersecurity threats that could jeopardize confidential financial information. This study looks at the different cybersecurity vulnerabilities that computerized accounting systems have to deal with. It also looks at practical ways to reduce these risks and offers suggestions for improving CAS security. This study seeks to provide a deep overview of the cybersecurity landscape in the context of computerized accounting systems and propose practical techniques for protecting these vital systems through a thorough analysis of the available literature and case studies.

 Abstract

Concrete is a material that is widely utilized in the Construction industry due to its excellent workability and capacity to be moulded into any shape. Fibers are typically utilized to reinforce concrete and prevent it from cracking. The purpose of this research is to investigate the compressive and flexural strengths of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), which contains fibers in varying proportions from 0.5 to 3% of the concrete grade M-40. Steel fibers were employed with an aspect ratio of 50. There were 168 samples analysed in total during the study. Above is a trial mix with different proportions compared to a regular concrete mix. The following construction projects now utilize steel fiber reinforced concrete: runway pavement, bridging decks, machine foundations, blast-resistant structures, piles, pipes, sea-protective structures, hip-hulls, and storage tanks

 Abstract

This research explores investment behaviour among investors in Bangalore, focusing on how risk preferences and decision-making are shaped by cognitive biases and heuristics. Utilizing a survey of 200 investors, the study examines the influence of factors such as income and investment experience on risk tolerance. The analysis, which includes descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and regression analysis, reveals that Bangalore investors generally display moderate risk tolerance, with significant behavioural biases, including loss aversion, affecting their decisions. The findings also highlight notable regional differences: Bangalore investors are more risk-tolerant compared to their counterparts in Delhi but less so than those in Mumbai. These insights underscore the need for tailored financial products and advisory services that account for cognitive biases and regional characteristics. The study advocates for enhanced financial education to mitigate behavioural biases and suggests further research into behavioural finance to better understand regional investment patterns

 Abstract

Abstract: Proteolytic enzymes are not only important in digestion as they breakdown the protein foods to liberate free amino acids needed by the body but these are also important in regulating many vital physiological processes. In the last decade or two they have been found to play an important role in regulating cell cycle, inflammatory conditions, blood rheology control and immune regulation. A large body literature also describes the role of inhibitors of protease which are responsible for controlling the above physiological processes as well as their antiviral potential. Bacteria are also known to secrete proteolytic enzymes for their extracellular digestion. Interference with these processes may appear to be a way to control bacterial propagation by starving them of much required amino acid. In this study, we isolated protease producing bacteria from natural sources; their taxonomic position was deduced using polyphasic approach, and protease inhibitory activity of fruits, nuts and leaf extracts was studied using gelatine dot liquefaction on X-ray film. Protease inhibition was observed in Mangifera indica, Tridax procumbens, Syzygium cumini, Terminalia catappa and Ficus benghalensis extracts against Bacillus and E. coli species. These studies indicate that natural plant sources can be used for control of some bacterial growth.
