Financial Soundness in Post-Merger of Private Sector Bank with Reference to ICICI and HDFC Bank
type: item
description: This study aimed to examine the financial soundness and post-merger performance of two selected private sector banks, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. The study found that both banks have their strengths and weaknesses in terms of financial performance and management capability. The study observed that ICICI Bank has better liquidity compared to HDFC Bank, while HDFC Bank has enough capital to absorb losses. The credit-deposit ratio of both banks has fluctuated over the years, with both banks facing potential financial risk due to granting more credit to customers than receiving deposits. ICICI Bank's management capability is good, with consistent profit per employee and growing ROA and ROE. However, HDFC Bank needs to improve its efficiency in generating revenue and profits from its operations and assets, as reflected in its declining business per employee and ROA ratios. The study suggests that both banks should focus on improving their financial performance and management capabilities to remain competitive in the market. This could include improving efficiency in generating revenue, managing credit-deposit ratios, and increasing ROA and ROE. Additionally, both banks should work to maintain liquidity and reduce financial risk.

However, excessive use of internet now becomes an addiction which is called “Internet Addiction”, and in young generation this addiction gives rise to wellbeing deterioration. In the context of aforesaid, this retrospective research made its’ effort to ascertain the demographical and contextual factors associated with internet addiction among school going adolescents. The demographical characteristics includes gender, family type, inhabitance and socio-economic status, whereas the contextual factor covers internet related aspects namely purpose to use internet, device used for internet, preferred time to use internet. The sample was comprised of 182 non-clinical adolescents with internet addict falling within the age range of 15 to 17 years from various schools situated in Rajasthan state through purposive sampling technique. This study adopted correlational research design. All demographical and contextual aspects were obtained by using Internet Information Index (III), which was developed for obtaining information. To ascertain the prevalence of internet addiction, Young’s Internet Addiction Test developed by Kimberly S. Young in 1998 was used. Obtained data was analysed using chi squire analysis. Results divulged insignificant association of IA level (High & Low) with demographical factors (Except family type for gender, inhabitance and socio-economic status), whereas, with contextual aspects (except time, with purpose and device) it is found to be significant for school going adolescents. In a nutshell, the present study is significant in terms of addressing contextual factors rather than demographical factors are more prominent to determine level of internet addiction for India adolescents, hence recommended to focus on these factors in preventive measures of internet addiction.

Code Clone Detection: An Empirical Study of Techniques for Software Engineering Practice
type: item
description: — Software cloning has been a prevalent practice in software development for several decades, wherein code fragments are duplicated and reused throughout the codebase. While cloning can help boost productivity and code maintainability, it also has the potential to introduce new problems like bugs, inconsistencies, and code smells. The detection of code clones, which entails the identification of code segments that are structurally similar or identical, is one of the key issues in dealing with software cloning. Various types of code clones include Type 1 clones (identical code fragments), Type 2 clones (structurally similar code fragments), Type 3 clones (code fragments with semantic similarity), and Type 4 clones. Textual analysis, token-based analysis, and tree-based analysis are only a few of the methods explored to identify code clones. Another method that has shown promise in clone identification is probabilistic software modeling, in which code is modeled as a probabilistic network and clones are found by analysis of the graph structure. Herein, we survey the state-of-the-art in software cloning and code clone detection methods. The paper also covered the numerous kinds of code clones along with their benefits and drawbacks. We next explore and evaluate many methods for identifying code clones, including probabilistic software modeling. Finally, we investigate the ways in which probabilistic software modeling may be used for various software engineering purposes, such as predictive and generative.

Study the Impact of Adopting Biometric Technology Authentication Systems in Organizations
type: item
description: Identification and access is a impression that has developed over time as the requisite to constantly detect individuals and grant access to confidential and sensitive data has become so important. Its impact can be felt in most organizations, specially multinational corporations engaged in top-secret research related to security-related pharmaceuticals, technology, power, and human biology. Recent vulnerabilities have highlighted the significance of extending validation protocols in sensitive areas of the economy for instance financial services and banking. Furthermore, new regulatory necessities for secondary authentication mechanisms emphasize the usage of biometric technology as an optional but reliable means of authentication. The focus of this research is to examine the impact of introducing biometric authentication systems within an organization. This study uses a secondary (exploratory) research methodology, a purely research study examining the implications and implications associated with the adoption of biometric systems within organizations. Managers of these institutions say their intentions to introduce competitive factors are determined by the organizations financial resources and perceived advantages related to technology. This study expands our understanding of the recruitment literature by showing how structural factors influence organizational actor decisions and by applying recruitment theory to a new technology, biometrics. The integration of these biometrics has increased their impact and impact on organizations.

Investigating the Role of Sensory Marketing for Studying the Consumer Response
type: item
description: This paper is about sensory marketing, which aims to be a marketing tool that can change how people act and how they feel. The consumer is not only interested in purchasing a good or service; rather, he wants to have an experience that is personal and distinctive in connection with the things that he purchases. Our survey study, which is in line with studies that have come before it, reveals how customers evaluated the ambiance of fashion retail stores through the cognitive and emotional responses they had. The combination of the four senses creates a synergy, which is the customer's internal cognitive and/or emotional response to the environment's stimuli. Sound, sight, touch, and smell are the four senses that come from them. Based on the results of our survey, this study shows how important it is to realize that the environment of the point of sale affects the customer's cognitive and emotional responses through the experience of sensory marketing. These responses include the customer feeling more pleasure and perceiving a higher quality in the product.

To Study the Effectiveness of Heartfulness Relaxation Technique on Occupational Stress among Government Primary School Teachers
type: item
description: Under the umbrella of the National Education Policy, a wide range of programmes are being run by the government for achieving the goal of education for all. For this purpose, government schools are expanding daily to achieve the goal but the availability of teachers is comparably very low in comparison to the number of students; as a result, working teachers in government schools experience stress and depression while at work. The search for an appropriate and effective stress management technique has become a hectic issue. This study recommends meditation, which has been widely used by earlier researchers to assess its effectiveness in reducing workplace stress. Since ancient times, meditation has been widely practiced to control or minimize stress at workplace. In this study, the basic and main aim is to determine the impact of Heartfulness Relaxation Technique, a branch of Raja Yoga, on the ability of teachers to manage or reduce their stress. For the study, 200 teachers between the ages of 22 and 60 were chosen, and they participated in relaxation (meditation) sessions every week for a month. Only instructions on how to use Heartfulness Relaxation Technique are given during the relaxation session. The effects of practicing the Heartfulness Relaxation Technique for a month on teachers' stress levels are positive and are lower than they were before.

Fabrication and Characterization of Niobium Alloys Treated by Vacuum Arc Remelting Technique: Hybrid Approach for Orthopedic Applications
type: item
description: This research showed the wear and mechanical behaviour of two new Ti-Nb-based alloys for biomedical implants. Vacuum arc remelting is used to create two types of Ti-Nb alloys with different elemental percentages of niobium: Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta-0.35O and Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn. The alloys were treated with heat at 2000oC for 6 hours in an argon atmosphere. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to determine the microstructure and confirm the phase. Vickers microhardness testing was used to determine the alloys' hardness. A pin-on-disc wear testing equipment is used to conduct in-vitro tests to determine the samples' resistance to wear. Comparisons with Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn showed that the alloys' coefficient of friction was improved by order of magnitude.

Selection of New Genotypes of Winter Chickpeas with High Productivity, High Photosynthetic Productivity, Resistance to Fusariosis Disease and Adaptation to Mechanism
type: item
description: More than 12 million tons of chickpea were grown in the world in the last year's season, and India, Australia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Turkey, Ethiopia, Russia, and Iran are the countries that produce the most chickpeas. Currently, the possibility of meeting the demand for chickpea grain from the crop grown in our republic is very low. Therefore, grains of the main leguminous crops are exported from abroad. In turn, the year-by-year increase in population increases the demand for chickpea grain. It is no secret that the main part of the cultivated crop is collected by manual labor. Solving this problem requires the creation and introduction of varieties adapted to mechanization. In the study, 20 winter chickpea genotypes were evaluated and selected under irrigated field conditions. Winter chickpea genotypes were determined by parameters such as growth period, plant height, location of lower pods relative to the soil surface, yield indicators, weight of 1000 grains, NDVI indicator, chlorophyll content, and protein content. Among the 20 studied varieties and lines of winter chickpea, 3-4 days earlier than standard varieties, adapted to mechanization, plant height 58.0-64.3 cm, weight of 1000 grains 345.6-370.1 g, yield 21.1-26 ,1 c/ha, protein content of 27.7-29.3 percent, high photosynthetic productivity, 7 genotypes were selected. In the study, the Obikor (KR20-CICTN-37) variety, which is early-yielding, adapted to mechanization, has high photosynthetic productivity, and is superior to standard varieties, was selected and recommended to be submitted to the Agricultural Crops Varieties Testing Center.

Assessing Skill development in India: Study of 112 Aspirational Districts of India from March 2018 to March 2022
type: item
description: The apex planning body of India, NITI Aayog launched an Aspirational District Program in January 2018. This programme aimed to the quick and effective transformation of 112 least backward districts of the country. This programme is based on three dimensions i.e. Convergence of Central & State schemes, Collaboration of ‘Prabhari” officers of States with District Collectors and Competition among districts through a ranking that is done on monthly basis. This ranking is based on 49 KPIs across five broad socio-economic themes. This programme considers states as responsible agencies for the capacity development of district administration by using data-driven techniques primarily used to capture and assess challenges and identify bottlenecks. After the identification of such bottlenecks, tailor-made policy intervention is devised for each specific district. NITI Aayog at the apex level monitors the progress of each aspirational district by using rigorous statistical models and ICTs. Based on the output or achievement of these districts, all districts are ranked. The highly ranked districts are rewarded while laggard districts are further scrutinized for locating developmental issues. Instead of ranking districts with delta rank or composite scores, the study divorce from NITI Aayog’s methodology of monthly delta ranking and attempts to grasp progress made by 112 districts under the Education and Skill Development theme from March 2018 to March 2022. For this purpose, the study explores 14 indicators under the education theme and 10 indicators under the skill development theme. Under the Skill development, theme 10 indicators are selected to trace progress made by districts in terms of youth, employment, skilling of vulnerable youth etc. The progress made by the states and districts represents the progress made in achieving Sustainable Development Goals at local levels.

Effect Of Gel Based Polyherbal Handwash Of Azadirachta Indica, Citrus Limonis, And Aloe Vera, On Staphylococcus Aureus,Candida Albicans And Bacillus Subtilis
type: item
description: Infectious diseases that can be spread from person to person in homes and communities continue to be a major cause for worry. The changing nature and range of pathogens we are exposed to and community demographic changes that affect our resistance to infections are the main reasons for this. Both of these factors contribute significantly to the problem. It is essential to practice good hand hygiene in order to cut down on the spread of infectious diseases in both the household and the community. Because antibacterial soaps contain triclosan, which has a significant number of drawbacks, and alcohol-based sanitizers, which cause discomfort due to skin drying, we should consider replacing them with herbal antimicrobial components instead. The gel base is both the material and the process. Azadirachta indica, Citrus limonis, and Aloe vera are the herbs that are utilized in the preparation of polyherbal hand wash. This helps to prevent any unwanted side effects. The gel base polyherbal hand wash that was developed was tested for its antibacterial activity using the cup plate method, and the results were positive. Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and bacillus subtilis are the three types of microorganisms that are employed in antimicrobial testing. As a result of the experiment, we can draw the conclusion that gel-based polyherbal hand washes provide a higher level of inhibition than commercially available synthetic hand washes

A Vision-Based System Design and Implementation for Accident Detection and Analysis via Traffic Surveillance Video
type: item
description: In this work, we aim to investigate the problem of detecting and analyzing traffic accidents automatically and effectively through surveillance videos and implement the whole framework on an AI demo board. First, the technique of motion interaction field (MIF) that has the potential to detect crashes in a video is adopted to locate the crashed vehicles based on the interactions between multiple moving objects. Second, the YOLO v3 model is employed to identify the crashed vehicles within the appropriate location. In order to recover the vehicle trajectories before the collision, a hierarchical clustering approach is used, and the corresponding trajectories are obtained. Third, to facilitate the judgment of traffic police, the trajectory is projected to a vertical view by using a perspective transformation. The vehicle velocity is estimated accordingly with the unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR) approach that does not require statistical knowledge of the external noise. Then, the estimated velocity and the obtained collision angle from the vertical view can be utilized to analyze the traffic accident. Finally, to show the effectiveness and implementation performance of the proposed approach, an experiment is carried out based on a Huawei AI demo board named HiKey970 that is used for coding all the mentioned algorithms. Several accident surveillance videos act as the input of the demo board. The accidents are detected successfully, and the corresponding vehicle trajectories are recovered.

Deep Learning for Satellite Picture Classification
type: item
description: Applications such as emergency management, law enforcement, and environmental monitoring all rely heavily on satellite images. For these purposes, human facilitation and object identification are required. The enormous number of potential search areas and the scarcity of available analysts make automation a necessity. Yet, standard approaches to item identification and categorization are limited in their ability to provide a solution due to their emphasis on correctness and precision. Some progress has been made on automating these processes using the supervised neural class of machine learning algorithms. Evidence suggests that neural networks based on convolution may improve image recognition as well as comprehension. Here, we employ them to determine how to distinguish man-made features from natural ones in multispectral, high-resolution satellite images. Using the IARPA Functional World Map (fMoW) dataset, we offer a deep learning method for categorizing features and infrastructure into 63 categories. Visual features and satellite data are integrated using neural networks based on convolution and other artificial neural that form the backbone of the system. Built in Python with the help of the deep learning frameworks Keras and TensorFlow, it is deployed on a Linux server equipped with a Geforce Titan X graphics card. In the fMoWTopCoder competition, the system is now ranked second. Its F1 score is 0.797, and its total accuracy is 83%, with 15 out the of 16 classes properly classified (95% or higher).

Being the main source of female harmful advancement mortality, it is seen to pass even through hereditary. To diminish the number of individuals who pass on from this disease, exact conclusions and successful treatment are fundamental. Random Forest (RF) is one amongst the most widely recognized ML approaches utilized in areas of strength for exposure as of late. But, trees that may contain less performance and high similarity may be created that would deny the whole idea of detecting cancerous cells. A “Hierarchical Clustering Random Forest (HCRF)” is a model built based on it. The concept of decision trees and selecting the most similar trees amongst the outcome generated for classification is used here. To expand dis-similar levels and reduced nearness, decision trees are selected accompanying limited occurrences. Also, we select the most probable tree that would yield us righteous outcomes by resorting to the “Variable Importance Measure (VIM) method”. “The Wisconsin Diagnosis Breast Cancer (WDBC)” and “Wisconsin Breast Cancer (WBC)” dossier sets from the “UCI (College of California, Irvine)” ML vault are secondhand in this place review. Veracity, accuracy, openness, unequivocally, and AUC of the projected methods shown are entirely determined. When diverged from Decision Tree, Adaboost, and Random Forest, beginner results in the “WDBC and WBC” datasets show that, gathering the HCRF estimate and utilizing VIM as a portion of the ratification approach would achieve ultimate veracity, accompanying 97.05% and 97.76%, alone. These techniques could be utilized to analyze breast cancer.

For this reason, it is necessary to retain a record of any criminal activity for possible future reference. Current challenges include keeping accurate crime datasets and evaluating these datasets to aid in future crime prediction and resolution. This study aims to forecast future crime types based on an analysis of large datasets including information about past crimes. The goal of this research is to use data analysis and machine learning science to anticipate crimes committed in Chicago based on that city's extensive crime database. The statistics are taken directly from the Chicago Police Department's website. Details about the location, time, date, latitude, and longitude of a crime are all included. The data will be preprocessed before the model is trained, and then features will be selected and scaled for optimal accuracy. We will evaluate many different crime prediction algorithms, including K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and utilise the most effective one in our training procedures. Several scenarios, such as when crime rates or criminal activities tend to spike, will be graphically represented as part of the dataset's visualisation. This project's overarching goal is to provide a conceptual framework for how law enforcement organisations may make use of machine learning to improve their ability to identify, anticipate, and catch criminals at an accelerated pace, hence lowering the crime rate. This is not unique to Chicago; it may be used elsewhere, too, if a suitable dataset is made available.

Online Monitoring System for Water Quality Based on Machine Learning Algorithms
type: item
description: The international attempt to develop sustainable, intelligent water delivery systems faces considerable challenges due to the urbanisation that has characterised modern cities. In urban planning, the quality of the water we use for aquaculture and we consume is becoming more crucial due to the environmental changes. The main focus of urban water quality control has historically been the physical, chemical, and biological categories of quality indicators. However, occurrences like widespread infections have increased in frequency in many big cities due to the biological indications' inevitability, worsening the threat to the fishes and public's health. We begin this task by outlining the problem at hand, going over its technical challenges, and outlining open research issues. Then, we suggest a potential solution by creating a methodology for risk assessment specific to the urban water distribution system. Using the indicator data we acquired from industrial activity, we can track changes in water quality and spot potential threats. We provide an Adaptive Frequencies Analysis (Adp-FA) approach that uses the frequency domain data of indicators for their internal linkages and individual prediction in order to produce results that can be explained. We also examine the approach's indicator, geographic, and temporal scalability. As a part of a larger study, we use data sets of industrial quality collected in four Norwegian cities (Oslo, Bergen, Strmmen, and Alesund). We put the proposed method to the test, comparing its spectrogram, prediction precision, and time commitment to better established AI techniques like the Artificial Neural Network, Random Forest, CNN, and LSTM. The results demonstrate that our strategy outperforms alternatives in most respects. Risk prediction for water quality are possible.

The Impact of Some Agricultural Economic Variables on the Value of Plant Production in Iraq: An Econometric Study Using the ADRL Autoregressive Distributed Time Lag Model for the Period (1990-2021)
type: item
description: The study aimed to identify the most important agricultural economic variables that have an impact on the trends in the value of plant production in Iraq during the period (1990-2021) using the ADRL model. The results showed the existence of a co-integration relationship between the study variables in the long term, and the variables (cultivated area, grain quantity, mechanical technology, chemical technology) are associated with a positive and statistically significant relationship with the value of plant production in Iraq in the long term, while the mechanical technology had an impact Negative significant on the value of plant production in Iraq during the study period. This may be due to the inability of farmers to use this technology (harvesters) in agricultural activities other than harvesting, or due to the agricultural lands not being suitable for using this type of modern agricultural mechanization, all of which led to the negative impact of this indicator on the value of plant production in Iraq.

Artificial Intelligence and Human Resources – Exploring the Integration as Colleagues
type: item
description: The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes everywhere, including human resources (HR). This paper delves into the impact of AI on HR and questioning whether AI will replace HR entirely or simply serve as a powerful enabler. Several HR tech companies specializing in automating job tasks and enhancing the job search experience have achieved remarkable valuations, indicating the growing prominence of AI in the industry.While AI has made tremendous strides, it still lacks rational understanding and falls short of replicating human consciousness. However, AI has become an indispensable tool for streamlining all HR processes. It has the potential to augment HR professionals, improve efficiency, and provide valuable insights for decision-making.Although AI has its benefits, integrating it into HR practices presents challenges. While AI can enhance HR functions, it cannot replace the human touch in areas like employee relations, conflict resolution, and strategic decision-making. HR leaders need to embrace AI while being mindful of its limitations. Rather than viewing AI as a job-stealing force, HR professionals should adopt a strategic outlook on AI governance. This collaboration between AI and HR professionals can create a harmonious and productive work environment where technology complements human expertise.

Learning, Learning About and Learning Through Language
type: item
description: Many theories have evolved over the years on language and learning. Halliday’s (1981) theory on Learning, Learning about and Learning through language is discussed in this paper. For any learning, use of language as well as interaction with others is necessary. Language learning is not a solo process, it has to be developed through social interaction. The paper elaborates on the three facets of Learning, the distinctions and inter relationship among them. The concept of scaffolding and its help to make learning a language more effective is described. The three facets seem alike, but studying them apart helps to understand their individual contribution to the language development of the child.

Formulation, Evaluation and Comparison Study of Sublingual Tablets of Flubendazole with Solid Dispersed Sublingual Tablets of Flubendazole for Prophylaxis of Filariasis
type: item
description: This investigation is concerned with formulation of oral dosage form for prophylaxis of filariasis with sublingual tablets. A macrofilaricide such as Flubendazole would be extremely helpful in the effort to eradicate human filariases. The need for alternative pharmacological techniques to enhance the systemic bioavailability of Flubendazole and its metabolites has become more urgent as a result of significant injection site reactions being observed in humans after parenteral Flubendazole treatment. Oral mucosal delivery of drugs promotes rapid absorption and high bioavailability, with a subsequent immediate onset of pharmacological effect along with patient convenience and compliance. The present study, aims to develop sublingual tablets of Flubendazole. Different concentrations of superdisintegrant Crospovidone were added. Mannitol was added in appropriate ratios for taste masking. The study involved formulation of solid dispersion system of Flubendazole to enhance soubility and hence bioavailability. Drug content and in vitro studies were carried out on the formulation. All formulation of pure drug and solid dispersion system were compressed by direct compression method. These tablets were evaluated as final dosage form for drug content and in vitro release profile. A comparative study of all dosage form was carried out. In vitro release studies were carried out mimicking in vivo conditions in the sublingual region for dissolution. It was seen that solid dispersion drug delivery system formulation SD3 showed maximum release of 93.56% after 18 minutes as compared to F3 formulation. Thus it was concluded that solid dispersion delivery system of Flubendazole can be a better option for the prophylaxis of filariasis.

Reading Approaches on Key Stage 2 Learners' Literacy Levels in Both Filipino and English
type: item
description: This case study seeks to determine the best reading approaches to employ in order to reduce the rate of frustration in both Filipino and English literacy levels of key stage 2 learners during the school year 2023-2024. The information was gathered through interviews. Alipao Elementary School is one of the medium schools in Alegria District, Surigao del Norte. Based on the PHIL-IRI Pre-Test Results for School Year 2022-2023 at Alipao Elementary School in Key Stage 2 learners, there was a sharp increase in frustration rate compared to instructional rate in both Filipino and English literacy levels. Based on the interviews, most of the teachers used pre-reading, intensive reading, and extensive reading as reading techniques in the classroom. Among the three techniques, intensive reading is the most effective because word recognition, fluency, and comprehension are all used. The findings of this study indicate that intensive reading, as utilized by key stage 2 learners, will be more effective if parents’ and guardians' engagement is promoted.

Emulgel: A Novel Approach for Topical Drug Delivery System
type: item
description: The use of topical drug delivery systems is expected to witness a significant rise in the future due to improved patient compliance. Emulgel have emerged as a popular choice among various options available in this domain. Emulgel possess several advantages, including excellent spreadability, adhesion, viscosity, and extrusion properties, which enhance their effectiveness as drug delivery systems. One notable advantage of emulgel is their ability to accommodate hydrophobic drugs within water-soluble gel bases. This characteristic is particularly valuable as many drugs exhibit hydrophobic properties and are not easily soluble in water. By formulating these drugs into emulgel, topical administration becomes more convenient and efficient. As a result, emulgel have the potential to revolutionize drug delivery, offering improved therapeutic outcomes and patient satisfaction. Continued research and development in this field are expected to lead to further advancements and applications of emulgel in delivering a wide range of therapeutic agents.

Analytical Methods and Permeation Mechanism of Eletriptan
type: item
description: One of the most popular complaints is headache, specifically migraine. Migraine is a chronic, incapacitating neurovascular situation that causes severe headache the episodes, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and, in rare instances, an aura with neurologic symptoms. It affects a significant portion of the world's population, with females (15-18%) having a higher incidence than males (6%). Based to a recent WHO evaluation, severe migraine, along with quadriplegia, psychosis, and dementia, is one of the most devastating chronic diseases. There are now two hypotheses clarifying the existence of migraine headache: vascular theory and neural theory. The main goal of migraine therapy is to identify and reduce etiologic or aggravated causes. Furthermore, preventive and abortive therapy may be used to prevent, shorten the length of, and treat symptomologies. As a result, for the administration of an anti-migraine medical care, an approach of delivering the drug into the bloodstream via parenteral route would be ideal. However, the resulting discomfort, danger of infection, difficult administered methods, and the possibility for low patient compliance make such parenteral administration unpleasant.

Effect of gel based polyherbal handwash of azadirachta indica, citrus limonis, and aloe vera, on staphylococcus aureus,candida albicans and bacillus subtilis.
type: item
description: Infectious diseases that can be spread from person to person in homes and communities continue to be a major cause for worry. The changing nature and range of pathogens we are exposed to and community demographic changes that affect our resistance to infections are the main reasons for this. Both of these factors contribute significantly to the problem. It is essential to practice good hand hygiene in order to cut down on the spread of infectious diseases in both the household and the community. Because antibacterial soaps contain triclosan, which has a significant number of drawbacks, and alcohol-based sanitizers, which cause discomfort due to skin drying, we should consider replacing them with herbal antimicrobial components instead. The gel base is both the material and the process. Azadirachta indica, Citrus limonis, and Aloe vera are the herbs that are utilized in the preparation of polyherbal hand wash. This helps to prevent any unwanted side effects. The gel base polyherbal hand wash that was developed was tested for its antibacterial activity using the cup plate method, and the results were positive. Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and bacillus subtilis are the three types of microorganisms that are employed in antimicrobial testing. As a result of the experiment, we can draw the conclusion that gel-based polyherbal hand washes provide a higher level of inhibition than commercially available synthetic hand washes

Investigating the Dynamics of the Iranian LGBT Community from Legal and Religious Perspectives
type: item
description: Gender is one of the most important issues the lives of adolescents. It relates to sexual identity and role, sexual orientation, lust, pleasure, intimacy and reproduction. Gender affects people’s thoughts, dreams, desires, beliefs, values, behaviours, practices, roles and relationships. But gender is also affected by biological, psychological, social, economic, cultural, moral, legal, historical, religious and spiritual interactions. This is the first research conducted on LGBT people in Iran and adds to the existing literature on LGBT people by focusing on the residence of this community. This research integrates phenomenological, hermeneutic, postmodern and psychological approaches to provide a theoretical method appropriate for researching the LGBT experience, while, at the same time, demonstrating the researcher’s perception of study criteria to preserve “objectivity”. This study is highly complex as it views sexual orientation and gender-related ideas broadly as well as in private and public life. This study conducted in-depth interviews with about 300 LGBT people – 60% male and 40% female – in the three metropolises of Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan. This research investigates their challenges in this changing age in terms of gender relations and the quality of interactions from legal and religious perspectives, thus providing readers, universities, research centres, and public and social activists with systematic theoretical frameworks about LGBT people. The main objectives of this research are to understand the sentiments surrounding LGBT people by critically analysing their perspectives and to examine the challenges these people experience when living in religious, class-based, traditional and patriarchal societies that reject LGBT identities.

Dynamics of Foreign Investments of the Islamic Republic of Iran
type: item
description: Based on the Dynamics of foreign investments of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the flow of investments from Asian countries into Iran has increased since 2008, but the volume of Asian investments is still significantly below that of European countries. The investments made by the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Republic of Armenia during the mentioned period were on average equivalent to only 1% of the outflows of foreign direct investments of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is a very low index. By the econometric analysis, the effect of these laws on the FDI inflows analyzed. To this end, we have developed a regression equation that shows the impact of the Islamic Republic of Iran's GDP on the foreign direct investment inflows and the effect of these laws and legal documents on the investment climate. For the analysis, the closed data on GDP in quarterly periods of 2001-2014 in USD, dummy variable X1 indicating the existence of law, legal instrument and international contract concluded to improve the investment climate: X1 , including the FIPPA, and also tax treaties and reforms in terms of cross-tax exemptions are used. The number of observations is 56. The data analysis will be performed with EViews 7 software and the least squares used. Result show that the GDP growth changes by one unit, foreign direct investment grows by 4.52 units. The adoption of the investment area adjustment at the same time period will lead to a decline in FDI growth by 0.49 units. The FDI growth increased 0.14 units as a result of laws passed in the last quarter. The increase rate has been 0.47% in the second quarter, 1.75% in the third quarter and 0.23% in the fourth quarter. Investments made by the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Republic of Armenia are essentially random and do not follow any rules.

Detection of Corrosion and Crack in the Structure of a Bridge Using Computer Vision Techniques
type: item
description: Corrosion and cracks pose significant challenges to the structural integrity and safety of bridges. Early detection and monitoring of these defects are crucial to ensure timely maintenance and prevent catastrophic failures. In recent years, computer vision techniques have shown great promise in automating the inspection process. This paper proposes the utilization of two state-of-the-art object detection algorithms, YOLOv5 and Faster R-CNN, for corrosion and crack detection on bridges. A dataset comprising images specifically focused on cracks and corrosion is utilized, with bounding boxes meticulously annotating the regions of interest. Subsequently, the images in the dataset are employed to train both a Faster R- CNN model and a YOLOv5 model, enabling the detection of cracks and corrosion within the images. Comprehensive analysis is then conducted based on the outcomes of these detection models.

type: item
description: Unprecedented pandemic like COVID-19 created havoc worldwide, leading to short term as well as long term physical, psychological and social health implications. The poor immunity increased the mortality and post-COVID associated morbidities. This calls for enhancing immunity for general wellbeing. Host of studies have proved that Indian medicinal plants viz. giloy, tulsi, Ginger, Curcumin, aloevera are efficient in boosting up the immunity. In the present study, two food products laddoo (a sweet) and cookies were developed by utilizing tulsi leaves powder and sunflower seed powder, respectively. Tulsi leaves (Ocimum sanctum) also known as “Mother Medicine of Nature,” and sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) are known to boost the immunity and possess medicinal properties. The health food products viz. laddoo was developed by incorporating 1% (S2 ), 3% (S3 ) and 5% (S4 ) of tulsi leaves powder and cookies were developed by incorporating 20% (C2 ), 30% (C3 ) and 40%(C4 ) of sunflower seed powder. S1 and C1 served as standard laddoo and cookie, respectively. The formulated health food products were assessed for the organoleptic properties using sensory scores and nutritional composition was computed. The results showed that among all the samples of laddoo, S2 (Wheat flour: tulsi powder as 99:1) was most acceptable and the nutritional values revealed that S4 had highest iron content due to more incorporation of tulsi powder and S2 (Wheat flour: tulsi as 99:1) had highest zinc content. In case of Cookies, C3 was most acceptable. It was seen that as the incorporation of sunflower seed powder increased, the nutritive value for energy, protein, calcium, and vitamin C increased. C4 (Wheat flour: sunflower seeds as 60:40) had highest energy, protein, calcium and vitamin C content. Thus, it can be concluded that tulsi leaves powder and sunflower seeds powder can be effectively incorporated to formulate value added food products.

Topic – A Crucial Role of Dietary Management for Diabetes Mellitus
type: item
description: Diabetes is pandemic in both created and creating nations. In 2000 there were an expected 175 million individuals with diabetes worldwide and by 2030. The anticipated gauge of diabetes is 354 million. The best relative ascent anticipated in the creating nations of the Middle Eastern Crescent, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Constantly 2030, Over 85 percent of the world's diabetic patients will be in creating nations. Until 10 years prior, diabetes was not viewed as a noteworthy general medical issue in creating nations like India however the circumstance has now drastically changed. India drives the present reality with the biggest number of diabetics in some random nation. In the 1970 the predominance of diabetes among urban Indians was accounted for to be 2.1 percent and this has now ascended to 12.1 percent. In India it is evaluated that directly 31.7 (2000) million people are influenced by this fatal illness, which is probably going to go up to 79.4 million constantly 2030. Today it is perceived that the dominant part diabetics are non-insulin ward type. Diabetic eating routine need not be a finished deviation from the typical diet. The nourishing are the equivalent for an ordinary individual and a patient of diabetes of comparative age and body weight. An eating regimen with a high fat admission wealthy in immersed unsaturated fats, low in dietary fiber entirety grains, expanded trans – fat and higher dietary glycemic load builds the danger of creating T2DM. Globalization and urbanization assumes a significant job in dietary advances which result in higher hazard for securing T2DM. Similar patterns are found in India, for instance: utilization of cleaned rice over coarse grains; diminished admission of oats; expanded admission of meat items contrasted with foods grown from the ground; expanded utilization of dietary items and fat prompting expanded danger of T2DM.

Optimizing Portfolio Based on Prospect Theory and Wavelet Transform
type: item
description: The balance between risk and return is one of the issues raised in the investment area. Forming a stock portfolio is considered the simplest and most effective way to reduce investment risk and increase return on investment. In the present study, the index tracking model and the prospect theory optimization model were investigated using index tracking. The data were analyzed using wavelet transform . The results were examined after removing the high frequency of the data and two algorithms including genetic and gray wolf algorisms were used in this regard. A significant assumption is that the behavioral characteristics of the prospect theory model provide better negative protection than traditional methods for the portfolio selection problem. In this study, the computational results of the prospect theory model for the real data of the financial market of the Dow Jones index and its 30 stocks were examined. To improve and confirm the result, wavelet transform was used to analyze the high-frequency and low-frequency data. The prospect theory model with the reference point which is the index is compared with the index tracking model. A major limitation was implemented for base index tracking and prospect theory models. The primary results of this work are: The advantage of stock portfolio diversification is evident in the prospect theory model. The tendency to obtain higher returns than the index in the prospect theory model with the reference point of the index leads to better performance of this model in the bull market. However, it performed worse than the index tracking model in a bear market. Finally, to confirm the implementation of the model, this model was compared with Markowitz's initial model. The prospect theory model obtained a higher return.

description: Vector-borne diseases, such as dengue fever and chikungunya, are transmitted by insects and other small arthropods (vectors) from one host to another. Almost all vector-borne diseases have a climate dimension. Global warming can extend the geographic spread of vectors and the disease transmission season. Increased rainfall, temperature, and humidity can also increase the amount of standing water, creating more breeding areas for vectors. This study explores the multifaceted relationship between vector-borne diseases, economic livelihoods, and environmental dynamics. It utilizes both quantitative and qualitative approaches to research, with both being employed throughout the course of the study's fieldwork, data gathering, and analysis. A thorough home survey was conducted, and secondary data were also utilized to meet the needs of this investigation. The home questionnaire survey included a significant sample size. In conclusion, understanding the complex interplay between social livelihoods and vector-borne disease dynamics is critical for designing effective interventions that target vector breeding sites and mitigate the burden of disease.
