This study investigated the gender differences on teachers� Attitude towards creative students of senior secondary school students in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Nigeria. The study aims to find out the gender differences in teachers� attitude toward creative students in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. A sample of 381 respondents from a population of 70,162 senior secondary school students was used. A self-structured questionnaire titled: Students Creativity Performance Questionnaire (SCPQ) and Teachers� Creativity Attitude Questionnaire (TCAQ) was used for data collection. The TCAQ and SCPQ is a 28-item instrument designed along a four-point Likert scale. The validity and reliability of the instrument were determined by experts in the field and test-retest technique was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. Data collected were analysed through frequency count and means scores, while the hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The study concludes that the attitude of teacher towards creativity and creative students is negative. The study established also that the creative performance of students is below average which suggests that the attitude of teachers have the effect of students� creative ability. It was recommended that there is a need for the government make creativity an essential aspect of the curricula to come up with creative products and innovations amongst students in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja; Teachers should improve their attitude towards creative students in senior secondary schools in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Recently many Cyber attacks have increased because of growing use of internet. Among all this the well-known cyber threat we find increasing day by day is phishing attacks. Phishing is where the victim�s credentials are obtained by an illegitimate website. The aim of these phishing websites is to acquire confidential information about username, password and banking credentials of the victim. Phishing websites look similar to the illegitimate website so the user can�t differentiate among them. This paper proposes a system which will detect old as well as newly generated phishing URLs that have completely no past behaviors to judge upon, using Data Mining. The main objective of this system is to develop a Chrome browser plugin that detects phishing sites in real-time while the user browses the page. The model will be trained with exhaustive dataset so that we can assure maximum accuracy.

Induced mutagenesis has bean used to create desired genetic variability, the base of crop improvement. Induced genetic variability in crop plants is a important resource from which plant breeders can select and combine different desired characteristics to produce best crop plants. The desirable characters which have been bred through induced mutations. In present investigation the seeds of moth bean treated with various doses/ concentrations of mutagens such as gamma rays (GR), ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) and sodium azide (SA) and physiological effects on seed germination as well as seedling height on 7th day after sowing were investigated. Gradual reduction in seed germination and seedling height was recorded with increase in concentration /dose of mutagens. Majority of the mutagenic treatments caused decrease in seed germination, seedling height and survival of plants at maturity, but lower treatments showed stimulatory effect.

 Abstract

Human action acknowledgment is confirmation to screen the human development and exercises by anticipating improvements. It is an inconvenient issue, as immense number of acknowledgments are made each second, the passing idea of the acumen, and the nonappearance of a reasonable technique to relate accelerometer information to know the turns of events. In this paper, an insightful human movement framework acknowledgment is created. . The information present here is observed from 30 volunteers old enough going from 19 to 48 years. Every individual was told to follow a convention of exercises ((WALKING, WALKING_UPSTAIRS, WALKING_DOWNSTAIRS, SITTING, STANDING, LAYING) while at the same time wearing a midriff mounted samsung system SII advanced cell. Using its embedded accelerometer and gyrator, we got 3-linearaly increasing speed up and 3-center point angular speed at a steady pace of 50Hz. The dataset determined has been subjectively allocated two individual sets, in which 70% of the volunteers was picked for making the readiness data and 30% the test data. This gives precision of about 96% for the substance data made out of 2947 models.

 Abstract

Engineering construction in this era is facing challenge of shortage of fresh water for mixing and curing. Since potable water has become a scarce in the planet, replacing seawater for fresh water in the construction of both Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) structure should be welcomed. But the major consequences faced by the concrete structure due to the use of seawater was corrosion and variation of strength characteristic. This project deals with the addition of a bacteria named Bacillus subtilis JC3 in the concrete mix, which is made up of seawater. This can reduce the adverse effects of seawater in the concrete structure. The Bacillus subtilis JC3 bacteria is usually used in waste management. The bacterial culture is added to the concrete with seawater. It shows self-healing mechanism when cracks are formed. It is due to the calcite precipitation by the bacteria. The bacterial concrete is shows better strength and durability than ordinary concrete mix. These bacteria can survive in adverse situations also.

Various organisations like schools, colleges, companies, etc., require to keep the daily record of their students/employees. Manual attendance maintaining is difficult process, especially for large group of students. Traditional face recognition systems employ methods to identify a face from the given input but the results are not usually accurate and precise as desired. Some automated systems developed to overcome these difficulties but they have drawbacks like cost, fake attendance, accuracy, intrusiveness, etc. To overcome these drawbacks, there is need of smart and automated attendance system. In this paper, we present Attendance System by using cascade classifier with real time video as an input. The working method of this system is entirely divided into six main modules. System will recognize one or more people captured in that video, this is taken as an output of this system. After recognition the attendance will marked and saved in database.

 Abstract

The concept of State Liability is one of the most useful aspects of law of tort where the victims can claim damages from the State due to the loss incurred by them from the act of the State while performing its functions. In British India the doctrine of �King can do no wrong� was adopted. The position of tortuous liability of the State in Independent India is quite similar to what was there under the Crown as Indian Constitution is mostly based on the Government of India Act 1935. So, as it prevailed in British India, the State was started to be given immunity from tortuous liability in Sovereign functions. Now, as there was no clear definition of sovereign functions and non-sovereign functions, the question was left to be decided by the judiciary which had to first decide the nature and type of function that the alleged servant of the State was discharging when the wrong was committed. These in turn gave rise to conflicting decisions in the past. With the passage of time the welfare activities of the State started increasing and with this it became difficult to differentiate the functions of State as Sovereign or Non-Sovereign. Hence, in this research work the researcher made an empirical study on tortious liability of State in India and tried to find out the remedies to remove the ambiguities in the present tort system in India on State Liability.

 Abstract

This paper attempts to explore female gender subjectivity in Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel,The Bride. Gender Politics plays a significant role in depicting male and female characters in literature. Female writers pen the characters of female in over exaltation and reveal degeneration of male counter parts. Similarly male authors inclined towards male characters and reflects patriarchy in their works. This paper would emphasize that genuine representation of male by women writers and female by men writers are not possible. The author’s gender subjectivity always influence the characters in his/her novel. Gender subjectivity is the main focus of this analysis and I have chosen Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel The Bride for gender analysis. This research paper will justify that gender, apart from biological sex , plays a vital role in determining characterization in the novel.
