 Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze cardiovascular endurance differences among university-level football, handball, and volleyball players of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 300 male players (100 each from football, handball, and volleyball), who had participated in inter-university tournaments during the academic year 2011-12, were randomly selected from five universities of Andhra Pradesh. Cardiovascular endurance was measured using the Cooper 12-Minute Run/Walk Test, and the results were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Scheffe's Post Hoc Test. The mean cardiovascular endurance scores were 2717.000 meters for football players, 2574.000 meters for handball players, and 2449.000 meters for volleyball players, with corresponding standard deviations of 119.600, 120.496, and 118.913 respectively. The obtained F-ratio of 125.60 exceeded the critical value of 3.03 at the 0.05 level of significance, confirming significant differences among the groups. Post Hoc analysis further revealed that football players had significantly greater endurance than both handball and volleyball players, while handball players also outperformed volleyball players. The findings highlight that football training strongly develops aerobic capacity, while handball and volleyball players may require supplementary endurance training.

 Abstract

Media and politics relationship in the context of India is not only complex, it is also significant. According to the rules of democracy, the media has been largely accepted globally as the fourth arm of governance and it stands out in a strategic place in the political arena. It serves as a primary tool of electioneering, ideology propagation and control over the activities of the government. The Indian media has gone a long way back with its earliest roots in the anti- colonial campaigns up to the print media, emergence of radio broadcasting waves, and the latest uproar that is linked to the digital revolution. The new mediums have sped up the flow of information, and the sphere of political communication has grown with each new medium. As it stands today, media plays a decisive position in election contesting and in the shaping of political discourse that allow leaders and parties to increase and amplify their public status, drive forward programmatic advances and incapacitate opponents. These trends have enhanced political effects of the media. Nonetheless, there are obdurate accusations on the editorial impartiality. Media reporting often has the bias, which can interfere with the results of the election and therefore should be studied systematically. The current argument uses scientific research and current case studies to explain how much media-politics interactions influence the Indian democracy. The stress is put on the demands of media independence and respect of journalistic neutrality.

 Abstract

Currently India has taken a major initiative on developing the infrastructures such as express highways, power projects, and industrial structures to meet the requirements of globalization in the construction field, which involves the construction of buildings and other structures. Concrete plays the key role in the construction field and a large quantity of concrete is being utilized in every construction practices. To increase the strength of concrete the water/cement ratio has to be reduced, which in turn increases the cement content. To overcome low workability problem different kinds of admixtures are used to achieve the required workability. The sugarcane bagasse ash which is usually disposed can be used as an alternate for cement, since SCBA is rich in silica content and also sufficient calcium content. The SCBA is used in different combination to find the feasibility of using the SCBA as an alternate to cement. The cement is replaced by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by the weight of cement and by keeping the replacement of glass powder for cement as constant that is 10% by weight of cement. The concrete cubes are casted and compression and split tensile tests were carried out to find the best combination which results in optimum percentage of strength.

Authentication-based access to applications is widely used for computer privacy and security. However, users tend to choose weak passwords that are easy to remember, such as their birth date, phone number, or the name of a loved one, instead of using a combination of alphabets, numerals, and special characters. Graphical password authentication is a novel approach to user authentication that allows users to select images as passwords instead of alphanumeric strings. In this proposed system, users can select an image from a category of images that they have searched for. The selected image is then divided into several grids, and the user chooses a grid as the password. This method offers several advantages over traditional password authentication methods, including enhanced security, ease of use, and increased memorability. Additionally, graphical passwords are more resistant to attacks such as shoulder surfing and key loggers. Overall, this proposed system provides a secure, user-friendly, and visually appealing alternative to traditional password authentication methods.

 Abstract

The Sylheti group, with its unique linguistic, ceremonial, and cultural customs, is becoming increasingly subject to the homogenising effects of globalisation and cross-cultural influences. Local religious practices, ethnic food traditions, and folk dances like Dhamail are vanishing as pan-Indian and Western values take hold. This research investigates how generational transitions, notably among the new generation, language stigmatisation, and the rise of mainstream cultural activities contribute to the loss of Sylheti identity. This study draws connections to other oppressed communities throughout the world by situating Sylheti's concerns within global frameworks such as cultural hegemony and globalisation theory. By evaluating ethnographic investigations, community interviews, and cultural theories, the study highlights the urgent need for systemic measures to conserve Sylheti culture through education, digital documentation, and grassroots activism.

Abstract Quality assessment of fruits plays a key part in the global economy's agricultural sector. In recent years, it has been shown that fruits are affected by different diseases, which can lead to widespread economic failure in the agricultural industry. Traditional manual visual grading of fruits could be more accurate, making it difficult for agribusinesses to assess quality efficiently. The quality and safety of food is an important issue to the whole society, since it is at the basis of human health, social development and stability. Ensuring food quality and safety is a complex process, and all stages of food processing must be considered, from cultivating, harvesting and storage to preparation and consumption. However, these processes are often labor-intensive. Nowadays, the development of machine vision can greatly assist researchers and industries in improving the efficiency of food processing. Computer vision based food recognition is a technology that uses machine learning algorithms to identify and classify different types of food in digital images or videos. This technology has a wide range of applications, including dietary analysis and tracking, nutrition labeling, and food safety. One of the key benefits of food recognition is the ability to automatically extract nutritional information from food images.

 Abstract

The realm of archives, archivists, and archival practices has significantly transformed to meet contemporary societal demands. This paper explores the dynamic role of archives in preserving collective memory, the evolving responsibilities of archivists, and the impact of postmodernism on archival practices. Traditionally, archives were primarily repositories of historical records for state and institutional use. However, they have expanded to serve broader societal functions, becoming vital tools for constructing histories, shaping cultural identities, and supporting social justice initiatives. The study examines the shifting responsibilities of archivists, who now act as mediators in creating and maintaining archives, balancing record preservation with ethical considerations and inclusivity. The influence of postmodernism on archival theory and practice challenges traditional notions of objectivity and neutrality in record-keeping. Postmodernism highlights the importance of context, the subjective nature of documentation, and the role of power in record creation and preservation. This paper underscores the necessity for archivists to adopt a reflective and critical approach, recognizing inherent biases in archival processes and striving for inclusivity and representation of marginalized voices. It highlights the transformation of archives from state-centric repositories to dynamic institutions serving broader societal functions, necessitating continuous adaptation of archival practices.

 Abstract

Feminine ideologies have faced criticism for their portrayal of both sexes and the male hegemonic aspects of society. Margaret Drabble and Doris Lessing explore the complex nature of patriarchal pressures that lead women to deceive others. In Drabble's The Waterfall, Jane Gray deceives her friend Lucy to achieve a self-secured position, fearing rejection, competitiveness, and insecurity. In Doris Lessing's A Proper Marriage, Martha desires female liberation from patriarchal clutches through different means. Jane believes that male assistance is necessary for a sustainable and liberal life, while Martha does not compromise on her liberty. Both Jane and Martha feel the need to present their original contribution hidden in male hegemonic powers, aiming to create a harmonious atmosphere in society. Thus, applying the different feminine theories, the current research underscores that both novels exhibit a true representation of a patriarchal society, with the protagonists Jane Gray and Martha Quest aiming to bring a life for women that is equally respectable and liberal to men in all spheres.

 Abstract

Linguistically Karbi is a Tibeto-Burman language. The original home of various people speking Tibeto-Burman language was in western china,near the yang-tee- kiang and hwang-ho rivers. And from this place they went down to the course of the Brahmaputra and entered India.( Indranoshee Das,2005). According to the anthropologist, Karbi belongs to the Mongoloid group. The old name of Karbi is Mikir. Presently, the Karbi community is mainly found in Karbi Anglong and other parts of Assam. The Karbi inhabited areas of Assam are Dimahaso , Kamrup, Morigaon, Nagaon, Golaghat, Lakhimpur , Sonitpur and Biswanath. The Karbi Autonomous district was established on 17th November 1951. Their total population is 8,13,311 according to the 2011 census. Only 11.30% population live in urban area, while the rest live in 2563 villages in rural area. The medium of education in Hills and Plains are Assamese and English . In Hills, few Christian schools teach Karbi language. Most of the students go to the Assamese or English Medium in the Hills area. The Karbi people of Assam use their karbi language for communication in their society. As we know, Karbi speech community is a bilingual speech community. They have wide spread bilingualism among them. They use Assamese language as their common medium of conversation in all purposes. As Assamese language is State language of Assam, hence it is the dominant language of entire State. As Karbi is a minority language, they use Assamese language very frequently in their society. Assamese language enjoys a higher status than Karbi language in their society.Karbi people treat Assamese language as a high(h) language and Karbi as a low(l) language. As wide spread bilingualism is seen among the Karbi speech community, so we can see Fishman's concept of Bilingualism with Diglossia prevailed here.
