 Abstract

The era of digitalization brought internet as a boon in this living word with a few challenges. In respect of this, digital literacy in India hasn�t reached to the optimum mark yet as compared to developed countries. In this paper we try to put focus on different aspects of digital literacy, efforts counted by government and other organizations and try to put forth the challenges and hurdles faced during cultivation of digital culture in all the layers of society. Digital skills needed to be imparted during the schooling age. However, there is poor agreement with what skills needed to be imparted is less often considered. There are a quite less and different proposals regarding media literacy, information literacy, security literacy, media literacy, digital education etc. Here we are providing an idea and suggestions which needs to be implemented to overcome the possible challenges.

 Abstract

The efficiency of a business is influenced by the quality and quantity of the information that is uses and disseminate. In any organization, the information is used at each level ie. Top, middle and lower. And with the revolution of information technology, the functioning of organizations has also changed and upgraded. We now make use of Information System (IS) which is basically amalgam of software, hardware and telecommunication networks to execute the work. IS role is to help organizations in running the business properly through proper communication, decision-making, investigation of data and much more. It helps organizations to gain competitive edge and take decisions strategically. Thus we see that our world has evolved into new era and has technologically upgraded. Information system has lead to drastic change in the way, the information is being disseminated. Thus with the advancement of technology, the working has become fast and smooth and has also reduced human error in the course of work. In this paper, we will throw light on how the use of information has lead to the better organizational working in context of employee�s job satisfaction and also the challenges that the organizations have to face. We will also study the findings of some studies conducted on utility of it in organizations and employee�s job satisfaction in the past by great researchers. We hope that this paper has some usefulness and generates interest within potential researchers.

 Abstract

Global spread of COVID-19 pandemic has once again brought to surface the supply chain susceptibilities. Many of the Companies did not have a plan in place to address the supply Chain disruption. Due to lockdowns, most of the Employees were asked to work from home. The health of Employees has become highest priority. The minimum workforce operating in warehouses/production lines was also to be monitored as one member is diagnosed positive, then entire team would be quarantined. Lead times also became longer with transportation issues and border closures. The challenges faced by Supply Chain are mainly in the areas of Workforce management, Visibility of Suppliers beyond Tier 1, Transportation and inventory. Emerging Technologies like AI, IoT and Blockchain can play an important role to enhance the resilience Supply Chain during the disruptive situations like COVID-19, not only in planning, but also can provide the required visibility of Supply Chain.

 Abstract

A new simple, rapid and precise UV spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of Caffeine and Quercetin. The method involved estimation of Caffeine and Quercetin by simultaneous equation at 273nm and 372nm respectively in their solution in methanol. The Beer�s law obeyed in the concentration range of 2-10 ?g/ml for both Caffeine and Quercetin respectively. This method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, Limit of detection and quantification as per ICH norms. This method was found to be precise as %RSD was less than 2. Thus, the proposed method was found to be rapid, specific, precise and accurate for the routine analysis of Caffeine and Quercetin in niosomal formulation.

 Abstract

Fairy tales have a pivotal part to play in a child�s psyche. The ethos and notions created by these tales remain entrenched in a person�s mind eternally. This paper attempts an analysis of Oscar Wilde�s collection The Happy Prince and other Stories to establish Wilde�s fairy tales as a protest against Utilitarianism rampant during the Victorian eon. The protagonists in the short stories are not perfect; they have all sinned by choosing �happiness� over �sacrifice�. Their journey from ignorance to redemption through the discovery of selfless love and sacrifice conveys the message that being a sinner is part of being human. If sins can lead to redemption, then there is goodness in sin after all. Wilde was pointing out the flaws in the moral temperament of the Victorian age that chose to remain �happy� by being ignorant of the needs of the poor and the needy. The objective of the paper is to reveal the morals entrenched in the fairy tales with a view to developing the idea that though superficially Wilde disliked acknowledging his fairy tales to be moralistic, his aim was mainly targeted at the reading public during his time, pointing out their iniquities and ways to correct it- all captured within innocent fairy tales for children. The fairy tales of Oscar Wilde that have been taken into consideration are �The Happy Prince�, �The Nightingale and The Rose�, �The Selfish Giant�, �The Devoted Friend� and �The Remarkable Rocket.

Image Text is the text information embedded or written in image of various form. Image text is often found in captured images, scanned documents, magazines, newspapers, posters etc. The knowledge from these image documents would give higher efficiency and simple access if it's converted into text form. The method by which Image Text converted into plain text is text Extraction. Text Extraction useful in information retrieving, searching, editing, documenting, archiving or reporting of image text. However variation of those texts because of differences in size, orientation style, and alignment, text is embedded in complex colour documentation images, degraded documents image, inferiority image, likewise as low image contrast and complicated background make problem text extraction extremely difficult and challenging one. During this we proposed the algorithm, Edge based and connected components. The extracted text recognition done by OCR with better accuracy and at last audio output is going to be produced.

Depiction of woman in Tamil literature has kept pace with the changing social image of the woman in Tamilnadu. Tamil fiction reflects the prevalent contradictions in contemporary society about a woman�s position that is her glorification and exploitation. Tamil classical literature is an ancient literature. It has a long history and a great source of information to know about ancient Tamilian�s life, customs, beliefs, roles and history.

 Abstract

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) is a method of assessing the ventilatory capacity with single breath. Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) is the greatest pressure which is generated during maximal expiration against an occluded airway. Expiratory Muscle Strength Training(EMST)for duration of one week training was given to see increase in PEFR and MEP in elderly rural population improve their quality of life. A pilot study was done taking 30 samples which was an interventional type of study. Before the intervention, pre PEFR and MEP was measured. PEFR was measured using peak flow meter and MEP was measured using MEP device. Then one week Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) Protocol was given. Later after a week, again the post PEFR and MEP was measured. For results Mean and SD was calculated. MEP pre intervention was 60.77�16.96 and MEP post intervention was 61.29�16.92. The PEFR pre intervention was 230�68.07 and post PEFR was 246.67�72.50. The correlation between pre and post values of PEFR (p-value) is extremely significant (p<0.05).
