 Abstract

An attempt has been made to examine the economic efficiency, cost and return analysis of major off-season vegetables in Himachal Pradesh. In the present study, major vegetables, namely pea, tomato, capsicum, cauliflower, French bean and cabbage was considered. The results revealed that the estimated per hectare cost of cultivation was highest in French bean/ green bean than that of other vegetable cultivation. Net returns per hectare in tomato cultivation was higher than that of other vegetables cultivation. The output-input ratio was found highest in case of tomato cultivation. In case of economic efficiency, study concluded that farmers were working in the first irrational zone of production function in case of pea, tomato, capsicum and cabbage i.e. increasing returns to scale. In case of cauliflower and French bean farmers were working in the third zone (irrational) of production function i.e. decreasing returns to scale. It indicates that vegetable growers do not make efficient use of their resources. The study also recommends optimum use of resources to achieve desire growth in vegetable cultivation. The vegetables cultivation has been influenced by number of factors like assess of irrigation facility, family labour, non-farm income of family and education level of cultivators was the main riving force for shifting towards vegetables cultivation.

In keyword search it is important to identify the actual meaning of a query and the context of query terms at an earlier phase. Conceptualization is the process of identifying this contextual information about query terms and to produce meaningful segments which guides to achieve search diversification. Because of the advancements in Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the growth in overall Parallel computing applications the search diversification process is not at all a risky job now. The proposed Semantic Search Diversification Model (SSDM) identifies the context of the search query at the very beginning of the search. The concept of Smallest Lowest Common Ancestor (SLCA) nodes is used to lock the desired key and semantic keys over the XML tree branches. The Mutual Information value of the given query terms and their semi features are considered. The Probabilistic weight of the search query is calculated based on the relevancy and the novelty of the query. The proposed Anchor based Semantic Preservation (AESP) algorithm extracts the weighted SLCA nodes for the original and generated queries from the given XML data and determines the anchor nodes to initiate the tree pruning. The node lists are assigned to multiple processors in order to achieve parallelism. The fuzzy set of the popular terms in the given data set is used for creating semantic table for the query terms. The Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (nDCG) measures of the SSDM shows the usefulness of the query suggestions, and a point to apply search annotations if needed.

 Abstract

In recent times, the significance of human resource management has expanded in India.HR practices have become more relevant and complicated because of the amalgamation of the business operation across and this gave plentiful chances to Indian organizations to develop. With development, the organisations have to face various challenges, like to develop a competent team which is ready to face the global market. Corporate have to focus on varied issues like the gap between employees in the corporate world and adopt superior HR practices which help the companies to engage their employees and retain them for a longer period of time. With the competition rising and various players coming in, the management has to recognize the various reasons of high attrition rate which may be coz of low job security, lack of career opportunities, poor work environment, poor superior- subordinate relationship, wage differentials, etc.

 Abstract

Telangana is a state that is rapidly urbanizing, and its cities are fueling the state's economic growth. The government is working to further enhance the state's urban regions in order to facilitate economic growth. At the same time, the government is assuring the cities' long-term viability, as well as the welfare and well-being of their citizens. Urban areas account for 38.9% of the state's overall population. According to the National Commission on Population, by 2026, the percentage will have risen to 50%. Urban Local Bodies are in charge of certain urban regions (ULBs). The Telangana Municipalities Act 2019 governs the administration of the state's 141 urban local bodies. The government has launched a number of efforts to improve urban development results in a variety of areas, including water and sanitation, roadways, and poverty reduction. The main aim of this paper is to study the ULBs in Telangana. The study mainly focuses on the secondary data collection from various literature reviews. The outcome of the research will be beneficial for future planning of the state and the areas can be known where the development is needed.

 Abstract

Liquefaction is associated with a host of related phenomenon. Liquefaction driven settlements in sands is such a phenomenon. Liquefaction susceptible areas are prone to such settlements. The densification of loose sand deposits when acted upon by seismic loading is a well-established fact. However, the matter becomes critical when the sand deposit is saturated and there is no chance of drainage. Due to this phenomenon, excess pore water pressure builds up during the earthquake loading, leading to loss of strength or liquefaction. Settlement occurs after the release of excess pore water pressure, leading to a reconsolidation phenomenon. However, the settlement induced depends upon a lot of factors, like length of the drainage path, gradation, etc. However, in the case of dry sands, the seismic settlement is induced under constant effective vertical stress. In both the cases, for dry as well as saturated, settlement of sand occurs due to cyclic loading. In this paper an attempt is made to calculate the settlement of sands in liquefaction susceptible areas of Guwahati city.

The main learning aid around this time are all the digital appliances around people, which concludes one decisive solution for learning that are mobile phones, laptops, and all the related instruments. Tech-enabled immersive technology is an amalgam of AR (Augmented reality, VR (virtual reality), and MR (Mixed reality), which can be used to generate a virtual place for one to learn and produce the fruits of learning from the comfort of his room. Artificial intelligence also plays a big role in performing the necessary tasks to produce the optimal output needed for the technologies to work.

 Abstract

Frozen shoulder is a very common condition seen in many individuals during their life time with varying intensity and causative factors. Frozen shoulder cannot be explained based on joint complexity but can be defined as a glenohumeral joint with pain and stiffness. Frozen shoulder is also commonly called as adhesive capsulitis as the pathology involves the capsule of the joint. Generally, after the manifestation Frozen shoulder, it usually incapacitates the individual to some period of time of life in doing daily activities. So, a fast remedial protocol can be a gift for the community and can be incorporated in clinical practice by the clinicians as the highest standard of care. Since, the Ayurveda incorporations in different stages of frozen shoulder can lead to fast recovery of the patient, this paper is purely a guideline to do some clinical trials and to make the new standard of care. It can also lead to the stoppage of the use of unwanted painkillers and steroids with side effects in the health care system by simple classical Panchakarma procedures.
