 Abstract

In South Asian Diasporic Literature, Anita Rau Badami is among the most well-known authors. Her novels predominantly focus on rootlessness themes such as displacement, estrangement, loss of identity, patriarchal challenges, unacceptance, and self-identity exploration. Her third literary work, Can You Hear the Nightbird's Call? intends to elucidate the condition of a settler's life in a foreign land through the character Leela and her mother Rosa Schweers. Both battle to assert their identities in an alien land to manage their connection with an unfamiliar culture and toil to set up a new abode for them. Rosa's in-laws do not accept her, as they consider her a 'casteless German.' Whereas, Leela as a combination of two identities is overlooked by her relatives due to her mixed cultural and racial background. By including the idea of in-betweenness through diaspora, Badami has expanded her novel. She emphasizes the word "in-betweenness" to explain the notion of multiculturalism. Through various incidents, Anita Rau Badami has revealed the cultural clash and the journey of adjusting to these cultures. This article explores in depth her mother Rosa Schweers, her origin, her marriage to an Indian, her traumatic experiences at her in-law's house, her restricted relationship with her daughter Leela, and her untimely death.

 Abstract

Timetabling involves organizing sets of activities to create a schedule that accommodates various constraints. In the context of higher education institutions, a timetable refers to a temporary structure that outlines lecture series and assigns lecture halls or classrooms while ensuring that all relevant constraints are satisfied. Unfortunately, despite the automation of many administrative tasks in higher education, the process of creating lecture timetables has been overlooked due to the complexities involved. Traditionally, preparing such timetables has been a laborious, intricate, and time-consuming process, characterized by weeks of consultations with stakeholders, including students and department staff. It often involves continuous adjustments based on feedback. The need for a solution led to the development of computer-assisted timetable generators, which significantly save time for administrators responsible for course and timetable management. However, not all software solutions on the market can cater to the unique timetabling challenges of every institution. Therefore, there's a need for a practical approach to creating a customizable timetable program suitable for various higher education timetabling problems. To achieve this, the Rapid Application Development (RAD) software development model was employed. The primary goal of this project is to develop a hands-on timetable algorithm capable of addressing both weak and strong constraints within an automated timetable system, ensuring flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to deliver results within a limited timeframe to tackle the challenges associated with higher education timetabling.

 Abstract

In the modern world, individuals often require financial assistance to meet their daily needs. Consequently, banks find themselves inundated with a substantial number of loan applications. Handling this influx demands significant time and manpower resources. To address this challenge, we propose the development of a predictive model that leverages a loan dataset sourced from Kaggle. This model streamlines the loan application process and provides predictions on whether a specific loan application can be approved. It employs a supervised learning algorithm, a machine learning approach, to make these predictions.

 Abstract

The electrical power system has now grown into a more complex, integrated network that is continually expanding. As a result, the power system is afflicted by a variety of problems, including increasing power losses, voltage volatility, line overloads, and so on. The optimization of actual and reactive power by placing energy resources at appropriate buses can minimize losses and improve voltage profiles, especially in congested networks. As a result, the optimal renewable energy allocation (ODGA) issue is viewed as a more relevant tool for power system planning and operation operations, as the power grid rapidly changes dependent on the type and penetration level of renewable energy sources (RESs). In this article, the Aquila optimizer is utilized to alleviate this issue and reduce stress on the primary grid, making the grid more resilient. The Aquila optimizer (AO) is also employed in the optimization of distributed network. The approach proposed in this work has many objectives, including minimizing power loss and overall voltage fluctuation in a distribution system while keeping system operational and security restrictions in mind

 Abstract

This article is a theoretical exploration of feminism. The article traces the trajectory of feminist theory from its emergence to new materialism and post humanism. I argue that the post humanist approach was an inherent part of ancient Indian philosophy.Ancient Indian philosophy followed a monist approach in which man was considered to e a part of the larger srishti i.e. creation. The human race was placed hierarchically higher to the non humans i.e. animals and nature. Some elements of the non human world like trees, rivers and animals are viewed as sacred and are revered. However these are edicts and do not automatically translate into action. These operated in a social framework that was patriarchal and hierarchical subjugating some. For the world to attain ecological harmony we need to challenge essentialist assumptions about identity and to advocate for a more fluid and diverse understanding of human experiences. As posthumanist feminists the agency of marginalised humans and non human categories needs to be recognised and acknowledged. Together, they contribute to a broader understanding of the diverse and interconnected nature of human experiences and struggles for justice and equality.

 Abstract

The fashion and textiles industry has witnessed a surge in demand, leading to an unprecedented increase in apparel production and subsequently, textile wastage. Recognizing the significance of recycling, a growing consumer segment is now gravitating towards brand-conscious, ethically produced goods. This paradigm shift has prompted major brands to adopt more sustainable practices. Despite these positive strides at the macro level, the challenge of resource wastage persists at the grassroots level. The investigators conducted a case study with the aim to document the process of papermaking from textile waste. Data was collected through interviews with the industry's management and employees, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the papermaking process from textile waste. Responses were meticulously recorded and subsequently analysed to draw meaningful conclusions. The papermaking process utilizing textile waste involves several key steps. It begins with the initial phase of Cotton Shredding, Followed by Pulp Beating, a process that further refines and softens the fibres. The next step entails dipping a Mold and Deckle in and out of a tub filled with the prepared pulp mixture. Subsequently, any excess water is drained from the newly formed sheet to achieve the desired consistency. The paper is then subject to a Drying phase. The paper is then Cut to attain the desired dimensions and shape. Finally, Printing can be applied to the paper to add specific designs or information. This comprehensive process transforms textile waste into functional and usable paper products. Utilizing textile waste in papermaking presents notable advantages, including environmental friendliness and reduced reliance on chemicals. It also encourages a sustainable practice that can be easily adopted in household settings using readily available tools and materials. However, challenges arise from escalating raw material costs, limited flexibility in pricing, and substantial overheads encompassing rent, labour, electricity, and infrastructure expenses. This study offers comprehensive documentation of the papermaking process from textile waste, emphasizing its potential as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional paper production methods. By addressing both its advantages and challenges, this research aims to contribute to a more informed and conscientious approach to paper production within the fashion and textiles industry.
