 Abstract

The paper proposes a methodology of deriving a composite index of regional FDI attractiveness scores. By adopting a research methodology that is deductive in nature, the paper first selects a set of variables (proxies) which seeks to include all the identifiable, measurable, and comparable aspects affecting the inflow of FDI. The paper next aggregates these variables using the technique of TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) used in Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Regional rankings based on actual per-capita FDI inflows are next compared with those based on TOPSIS based composite rankings. Regional difference in actual FDI inflows can thus be attributed to differences in regional FDI attractiveness scores.

 Abstract

The study investigated the impact of Preksha Meditation on the happiness levels of 30 retired individuals from Amroha district, Uttar Pradesh, with a mean age of 73.33 years, using the Happiness Scale (HS-RHMJ) developed by Himanshi Rastogi and Janki Moorjani (2017). The scale comprises 62 items across five dimensions of happiness, rated on a five-point Likert scale. Before and after a one-week Preksha Meditation training program of morning and afternoon sessions, participants completed the scale. Results indicated a significant increase in mean scores from pre-test to post-test for total dimensions of happiness. The 't' value was significant at the 0.01 level (p < 0.01), suggesting a notable improvement in total happiness dimensions post-intervention. This suggests that Preksha Meditation positively influences the overall happiness levels of retired individuals.

 Abstract

The data from investigate organizations, safety firms and government organizations demonstrate that the numbers of data leak instances have developed rapidly. Among different data leak cases, major causes of data loss are one of the human being mistakes. Present live solutions detect unintentional responsive data leaks caused by human being mistakes and to provide alerts intended for organization. In this system, there a privacy preserving data leak detection solution where a particular set of receptive data digests is used in discovery. Privacy-preserving data-leak detection representation intended for preventing inadvertent data leak in scheme traffic. Such a demonstration yields a powerful and delegatable data-leak detection framework.The cloud computing surroundings the cloud source can perform data leak detection as add on service to its customers. The assessment results show that the detection method can supports accurate detection through very miniature number of false alarms under various data leak scenarios. The benefit of this method is that it enables the data owner to safely hand over the detection operation without enlightening the sensitive data.

 Abstract

This research delves into the burgeoning field of dark tourism in India, shedding light on its scope, consumer preferences, and managerial implications. Through a comprehensive analysis combining quantitative surveys, qualitative focus groups, and a literature review, the study reveals a significant interest and awareness among Indians regarding dark tourism. Results indicate that approximately 80.1% of respondents are intrigued by the prospect of visiting dark tourism sites, highlighting a substantial market potential. Factors influencing consumer preference, such as historical significance, thrill-seeking, and emotional connection, were explored through regression analysis, revealing a strong correlation between these factors and consumer interest. Additionally, the focus group discussions provided nuanced insights into diverse travel preferences and ethical considerations surrounding the commercialization of dark tourism sites. Managerial implications emphasize the importance of respectful development, market segmentation, and collaboration with local communities to ensure sustainable growth in this industry. While the study offers valuable insights, limitations such as sample size and geographical scope suggest avenues for future research to further enrich our understanding of dark tourism in India. Overall, this research contributes to the discourse on dark tourism, offering practical recommendations for stakeholders in the tourism industry to navigate this complex and evolving landscape responsibly.

This research explores the transformational impact of artificial intelligent (AI) on advertising industry. Starting with a deep dive into the historical evolution of advertising and emerging of AI technologies, the research goes into current uses such as targeting, segmentation, content creation, as customer engagement. It den explores future trends an in novation in AI-powered advertising, include hyper-personalization, advanced AI technologies, and ethical considerations they end tale. Using a mixed methodology including literature review, expert interviews, case studies, data analyses, an ethical considerations, the research offers valuable insights into the implications of AI for business, consumers, an regulatory body's. The fin dings story emphasis the potential of AI to enhance advertising effectiveness while highlight the important of ethical AI use an human-center approaches. In the end, the essay contributes to a deeper un der standing of the evolving intersecting of AI an advertising an gives recommendations for businesses to navigate this dynamic landscape with responsibility.

 Abstract

The state-making process is often blamed for the ongoing inter-state border disputes in India's northeast. The colonial demarcation and re-demarcation of borders left persisting legacies of border plurality and inconsistencies in the region. Post-colonial reorganisation of states was followed by border disagreements between Assam and its four adjoining states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya. The territorial claims of these states beyond their constitutional borders apparently have historical roots, particularly in the state-making exercise in the region. Since the outset of these disputes, the post-colonial federal constitution has attempted to address the problem by applying different settlement mechanisms. This study thus makes a retrospective analysis to understand how state-making practices since colonial rule have contributed to the current border discord and also attempts to understand available constitutional mechanisms for resolving the issue.

 Abstract

Culture is the distinctive feature of a society. Each society can be differentiated from another based on their cultures. Each culture is unique in its own way and has to be preserved by that society Bharati Mukherjee's novels and short stories often reveal the emotional and psychic consequences of the search for self-identity in the alien land. Mukherjee is at her best in the depiction of cross-cultural conflicts and how her heroines take control over their destines. Cultural conflicts arise between individuals or social groups separated by cultural boundaries. Mukherjee admits that it is difficult for the Indian immigrant women to assimilate American values system sacrificing the soul of the Indian spiritual life. Cross- cultured confrontation is a great influence on immigrants today. The two protagonists of Mukherjee, Jasmine and Dimple face Cultural shock due to their immigration to the foreign land and who could not cope up with their changed circumstances and with the two socio- cultural environments accompanied with the feelings of rootlessness and nostalgia.

 Abstract

This article focuses on the functional verification of a DMA controller within a microcontroller system-on-chip (SoC) using UVM. DMA is an integral part to modern computer systems, enhancing performance by offloading data transfer tasks from the CPU. The proposed work employs the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) to develop a comprehensive verification environment that includes essential components like drivers, monitors, scoreboards, and sequencers. The verification covers various data transfer modes (fixed-to-fixed, fixed-to-block, block-to-fixed, and block-to-block), boundary conditions, and error cases to ensure the functional correctness of the DMA controller. Different code coverage was obtained such as FSM coverage of 100%, Expression coverage of 90.13%, Conditional coverage of 93.33%, and Statements coverage of 99.34% which leads to overall code coverage of 86% for the DMA Controller. Advanced SystemVerilog features such as assertions, coverpoints, and covergroups are incorporated into the testbench to improve its effectiveness. The proposed work also demonstrates successful verification through detailed test cases, validating the DMA controller's functionality and providing a robust basis for future enhancements in SoC design
