 Abstract

Hydrogel product constitute a group of polymeric material, the hydrophilic structure of which render them capable of holding large amount of water in their three dimensional networks. Due to their high water content, porosity and soft consistency, they closely simulate natural living tissue, more so than any other class of synthetic biomaterials. Several techniques have been reported for synthesis of hydrogel like co-polymerization/crosslinking of co-monomers using multifunctional co-monomers, which acts as crosslinking agent. They can be classified in different ways on the basis of their preparation, biodegradable properties, polymer sensitivity to surrounding environment and also their applications. Synthetic hydrogels offer a possibly effective and convenient way to administer these compounds. Hydrogels can be used as biosensors as well as drug delivery systems that are responsive to specific molecules, such as glucose or antigens. In this review article an attempt has been made to describe the available methods of hydrogel synthesis, classification of hydrogels, their properties, method of preparation and its application.

 Abstract

The study discusses the way myths express cultural ideas and values, highlighting the significance of reinterpreting traditional narratives by giving voice to the suppressed characters. It then delves into Surpanakha's transformation from an innocent young girl to a vengeful woman and illustrates the manner in which her progress has been influenced by cultural prejudices, abusive family members and personal tragedies. Her desire for vengeance is fueled by her experiences of being excluded because of her dark complexion and gender. It also accentuates Surpanakha's relationship with family members especially her mother's ongoing disparagement upon her, contributed to her identity issue and hatred for herself. The analysis summarizes Surpanakha's development from a victim of circumstance to a villain motivated by retribution, which captures the complexity and depth of her character. Kavita Kane has humanized the character Surpanakha and has beautifully made the readers to sympathize with Meenakshi and hate Surpankha.

The government of India publishes a biennial report called India state of forest report (ISFR). The ISFR report published in 2021 states unequivocally that the country has witnessed 345,989 forest fires between November 2020 and June 2021, an increase of 87,509 forest fires reported in the country during the same time in the year 2018-2019. This is the second-highest report of forest fire in the country. Similarly, there were 136,604 fire points in the country from January 1 to March 31, 2022. The ISFR (2021) Report further states that the total forest cover has gone up by 0.48% between 2013 and 2021 but the rate of forest fire also went up astronomically to the tune of 186% in the same period.A comprehensive study on forest fire reveals that out of the total 764districts in India; more than 30% of districts are susceptible to extreme forest fire, which also, are home to 275 million people. The states namely, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Telangana, and the north-eastern region (NER) states except Sikkim are prone to high-intensity forest fire. The Northeast cluster of forest has a maximum area of forest constituting 55% of all the four clusters in India but it accounts for only 16% of the burnt forest area. The central area, which constitutes 28% area of the forest cover but 56% of it, is burnt because of forest fires. In the Northeast, fires tend to concentrate in a smaller area that is subject to repeated burns whereas in Central and Southern India, they are more expansive.

Every country now has a serious issue with traffic regulation and vehicle ownership identification. Identifying the driver of a car that breaches traffic laws or goes too fast can be challenging at times. Due to the possibility that the traffic official may not be able to obtain the vehicle number from the moving car due to the speed of the vehicle, it is impossible to catch and penalize those types of offenders. Therefore, one of the solutions to this problem is to develop an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system. Today, a variety of ANPR systems are accessible. Despite the fact that these systems use various approaches, the work is still quite difficult because to things like the vehicle's rapid speed, non-uniform number plate, and language. The total rate of recognition can be significantly impacted by the quantity and type of lighting. Most systems function with these restrictions. In this work, various ANPR strategies are described while taking into account processing time, success rate, and image size as criteria. An ANPR expansion is proposed at the end of this work. Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Character Segmentation, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) image segmentation, optical character recognition, and license plate analysis.

 Abstract

The goal of "AI-Driven Talent Matching: Empowering HR Professionals with Reinforcement Learning" is to transform hiring practices by fostering a mutually beneficial partnership between employers and employees. When HR specialists thoroughly specify Job Descriptions (JDs) on the platform, the project gets underway. Meanwhile, job applicants upload their resumes, resulting in the establishment of profiles summarizing their credentials and experiences. After that, the system gathers essential data to create unique JDs for each seeker. The degree to which these customized JDs resemble the HR's JD is measured by a computed similarity score, guaranteeing a data-driven method of candidate assessment. Based on these scores, candidates are ranked, and Recruiters are then presented with top ranked candidates by applying a threshold. The incorporation of reinforcement learning will improve the recommendation model through learning from recruiter's feedback. Feedback in the form of "yes" or "no" from recruiter reviews of candidates enables the model to dynamically modify the similarity score threshold. This research explores the shifting dynamics of the labor market and makes the case for a datadriven strategy that would enable recruiters to make well-informed choices when hiring and selecting candidates. The process ends with a screening test to make sure applicants have the skills that are needed for the job. Better recruitment outcomes are promised by this cutting-edge approach, which will help both Recruiters and job seekers.
