 Abstract

The growing reliance on digital data has made data security a top priority for individuals, organizations, and governments. Traditional data security measures are frequently rendered ineffective in the face of sophisticated cyber threats, resulting in data breaches, theft, and unauthorized access. Blockchain technology, best known for its role in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, is poised to revolutionize data security. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized and transparent nature, could provide a solution to this problem. This study proposes a blockchain-based framework for securing IoT data that takes advantage of blockchain technology's immutability and auditability to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information. This paper describes the proposed research methodology, findings, and analysis, emphasizing the effectiveness of blockchain technology in revolutionizing data security. The introduction of blockchain technology has heralded a new era of secure data management. As traditional data security mechanisms struggle to keep up with the growing sophistication of cyber threats, blockchain provides a decentralized, transparent, and immutable solution for protecting sensitive data. This research article investigates the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize data security. We investigate the key features of blockchain that make it an ideal candidate for secure data management, propose a comprehensive research methodology to assess its effectiveness, and examine the findings of our study. Our findings demonstrate blockchain's transformative impact on data security, emphasizing its benefits while addressing potential challenges.

Pollution adversely affect the aquatic life and human beings. Removal of hazardous materials from waste water is very important for aquatic life as well as human life. Many methods including adsorption are used for the removal o toxic metal ions and dyes from waste water. The adsorbent binds with metal ions and dyes and remove them. A novel adsorbent, shellac and its iron loaded derivative was prepared. The iron loaded polyacryamide grafted shellac was used to remove cadmium from waste water. The synthesised iron loaded polyacrylamide grafted shellac was characterised by FTIR and XRD. Shellac and shellac derivative are efficient adsorbent for the removal of toxic metal ions from waste water. The amount adsorbed was found higher than that observed in conventional adsorbents.

 Abstract

Knowledge management (KM) came into existence in India at the beginning of 2000 but to date, the extent of KM implementation differs widely across industries. Some companies have successfully implemented knowledge management but there are others that practice KM in bits and pieces. Empirical evidence to some extent supports that KM has a positive impact on operational performance including financial performance. The purpose of this study is to confirm these findings in selected Indian organizations via an awareness study of the employees. The sample for the study is companies listed in Indian stock exchanges with 200 respondents across different sectors and with different levels in the organization. KM practices in these organizations vary from moderate to high. Data for the study was collected between 2019-2020. The findings of the study indicate that most of the organizations which claim that they have implemented KM but are not deriving the results out of it may not be aware of the term "effective KM". Effective KM does not mean 'more the learning the better' or 'the more knowledge the better' rather it means relevant knowledge. The results of the study indicate a proclivity towards better financial performance for companies that are practicing effective KM. This study thus rejects the findings of some previous studies which state that KM does not have an impact on financial performance limitation of the study is that it is focused on a few sectors and based on the perception of the employees.

Virtual learning, also known as online learning or e-learning, has a rich history dating back to the 1960s, evolving significantly over the decades. This paper provides an overview of its historical background, modes, advantages, limitations, challenges, best practices, emerging trends, and implications for stakeholders. The historical journey of virtual learning highlights its transformation from early computer-based instruction to the integration of advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The paper discusses various modes of virtual learning, including online courses, webinars, virtual classrooms, and mobile learning, each offering unique advantages and challenges. It outlines the benefits of virtual learning, such as flexibility, accessibility, customization, and global reach, along with the challenges of digital equity, course quality, social interaction, and technological infrastructure. Best practices for virtual learning encompass clear communication, engaging course design, multimedia utilization, regular feedback, and community building. Emerging trends in virtual learning, such as personalized learning, gamification, AR/VR integration, and social collaboration, indicate the transformative potential of virtual learning in education. Finally, the paper explores implications for stakeholders, including educators, learners, institutions, and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of professional development, self-regulation, infrastructure investment, policy development, and regulatory frameworks to ensure the success of virtual learning initiatives. Overall, the paper underscores the need for collaborative efforts and adaptive strategies to harness the benefits of virtual learning while addressing its challenges effectively in the digital age.

 Abstract

This paper examines the role of neighborhoods and gatekeepers in the place-making practices 0f Northeast and Muslim women migrants in the urban landscape. This paper primarily employs secondary literature to shed light on the everyday negotiations these migrants go through to make place for them in the hostile city. Place-making is a conceptual category that is examined and contextually explored through understanding the role of neighborhoods and gatekeepers. The role of the neighborhoods is discussed as a transactional site and in providing familiar environments. The gatekeepers, on the other hand, are resourceful individuals who facilitate the transaction of migrants to the city. Through the case of Northeast and Muslim women migrants, this paper examines how the experiences in the city are tied to the identity of the migrant groups. In this way, this paper looks at how the practice of place-making is driven by experiences based on identities in the city. This study is significant as it focuses on the contextual and subjective experiences of different groups in the city and moves beyond the homogeneous understanding of urban experience. The case study of Northeast and Muslim women migrants gives us an 0pportunity for a comparative assessment, which emphasizes the role of subjectivity to understand the experiences tied to identity in the city.

 Abstract

What do you do when you need to provide a gift to your parents or friends for their birthdays or other special occasions? The majority of people today go to the internet, explore a few websites that sell gift items such as books, clothes, perfumes, and so on, and then order one of them to be sent to the recipient's address. It only takes a few minutes at most and one click! Very few people nowadays bother or even have the time to drive down in heavy traffic to some boutique and look through all of the products there, hop on to the next one, and so on, finally selecting a gift and then going to the courier business to parcel them up. The expansion of the e-commerce industry has made life easier for many people. Online shopping allows you to purchase not just gifts, but also ordinary necessities such as groceries, notebooks, and pens. Books, clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories, airline tickets, and hotel reservations are some of the most popular products purchased online. E-commerce is the trade of items and services over the internet. In this article, we present the elements driving the rise of India's ecommerce business. My methodology is based on secondary sources such as articles, journals, reports, papers, blogs, and conference proceedings. Ecommerce is one of the fastest growing businesses, with India having a large market potential for investment.
