 Abstract

It is a fact that development of higher education and development of a country are closely related. Any country that is developed today in the world is mainly for its quality higher education. Therefore quality assurance in higher education has been one of the major challenges in the development agenda not only in India but also all over the world. In this context IQACs of NAAC accredited colleges are functioning for sustenance and enhancement of internal quality of the higher education institutions. In Odisha only 192 colleges out of 520 UGC affiliated colleges have valid NAAC accreditation status. Therefore it is significant to explore how IQACs of autonomous colleges are functioning in comparison with non-autonomous colleges of Odisha. The exploratory survey method was adopted in the present study to identify dimensions-specific quality improvement practices adopted by IQACs and the functioning status of IQACs taking into consideration the nature of institutional autonomy as an associated factor. Total 6 autonomous and 6 non-autonomous colleges were included purposively in the sample of the study. A pilot study was conducted to identify the areas where IQACs are functioning. On the basis of pilot study a questionnaire was developed to study the functional status of IQACs. Data were collected from respondents through questionnaire and analysed by percentage and chi-square test of independence. The researcher categorised various activities of IQACs in the five dimensions. The study has revealed that IQACs of autonomous colleges are functioning better than non-autonomous colleges. The institutional autonomy was found positively associated with regularity in functioning of IQACs in different components. Future challenges of quality higher education needs to be linked with the proper functioning of IQACs which can sustain and enhance institutional quality.

 Abstract

Ethno-Regionalism is the expression of a common sense of identity and purpose by people within a specific geographical region, united by its unique language, tradition, culture, heritage, lifestyle etc. Toto tribe belongs to Ethno-regionalist group. Toto people Belong in Indo-Bhutanese tribal community. They live in isolated hilly forest village Totopara. Number of Toto is 1387(census 2011) and only 30.35% of the Toto�s are literate. After the independence of India, the government has been trying to spread education for all people of our country. But education for the tribal communities is not remarkable spread in our country. We see the picture of children of inequality in educational opportunity among the tribal communities in comparison with that for the other higher communities. Now, the Toto tribes� community is being deprived social, cultural and educational opportunities to fit themselves to the modern civilization of the society in West Bengal as well as in India. So, Toto�s own Ethno-regionalism will affect their education status. So researcher will tries to study Impact of Ethno-regionalism on educational status among the Toto Tribes: issues and challenges.

 Abstract

Monitoring road and traffic conditions in a city is a problem widely studied. Several methods have been proposed towards addressing this problem. Several proposed techniques require dedicated hardware such as GPS devices and accelerometers in vehicles or cameras on roadside and near traffic signals. All such methods are ex- pensive in terms of monetary cost and human effort required. We propose a non- intrusive method that uses sensors present on smartphones. In propose system we use accelerometer, GPS sensor readings for road conditions detection. We are specifically interested in identifying braking events - frequent braking indicates congested traffic conditions - and bumps on the roads to characterize the type of road. In this fast-moving world that we live in, safe commute is not only everyone�s priority but also to provide a hassle-free shuttle between places is the government�s duty. In this paper, we propose a system which detects potholes on the road. As we all know prevention is better than cure, we design and implement a system which not only recognizes potholes but also stores this data on a cloud platform which can act as a database for further reference and enable us to analyze the data. The proposed system contains two important functions, first is to detect the pothole which is done through a multi-sensor subsystem consisting of accelerometer and gyroscope and secondly warn the driver and store this information on a cloud base which can be accessed by other users which will help them apprehend the potholes on their way. Once the location of the potholes is known, Government authorities can be informed about the same.

 Abstract

The culture of science is profoundly affected and dependant on both time and local socio-political reality. For example, there was no tabula rasa in pre-colonial India. In at least mathematics, astronomy and medicine, it had a long history. But a slow settlement made a large tooth. It brought about a major cultural clash that deeply affected both the colonizer and the colonized person's cognitive and material life. The British admired any reform attempts, such as the introduction of a predictable law framework, infrastructure development spending, and schooling in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. Much of the imperial initiatives and changes are counter to India's people's will and health. The UK stripped away India's capital and brought an educated and elite buffer class into the English education system. This paper discusses the developments of science in British Indian colonial culture.

 Abstract

Foeniculum vulgare Mill commonly called fennel has been used in traditional medicine for a wide range of ailments related to digestive, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems. Additionally, it is also used as a galactagogue agent for lactating mothers. The review aims to gather the fragmented information available in the literature regarding morphology, ethnomedicinal applications, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology of Foeniculum vulgare. It also compiles available scientific evidence for the ethnobotanical claims and to identify gaps required to be filled by future research. Findings based on their traditional uses and scientific evaluation indicates that Foeniculum vulgare remains to be the most widely used herbal plant. It has been used for more than forty types of disorders. Phytochemical studies have shown the presence of numerous valuable compounds, such as volatile compounds, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, and amino acids. Compiled data indicate their efficacy in several in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties such as antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antinociceptive, antipyretic, antispasmodic, antithrombotic, apoptotic, cardiovascular, chemomodulatory, antitumor, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and memory enhancing property. Foeniculum vulgare has emerged as a good source of traditional medicine and it provides a noteworthy basis in pharmaceutical biology for the development /formulation of new drugs and future clinical uses.
