 Abstract

This paper reports the design and implementation details of a transceiver architecture for application in wearable devices deploying human body as the transmission medium. The human body communication (HBC) is a non-Radiofrequency communication defined in the IEEE 802.15.6 standard, exclusively for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In this design, which is based on Walsh coding scheme, high data rates up to10 Mbps for WBAN applications have been achieved, simultaneously reducing the design complexity and resource utilization by 25.7% in comparison to BCH codes used for ultra-wide band communication. The simulated design has shown a low power utilization of 87mW and employs only 37 slices, when implemented on Artix7 FPGA device.

 Abstract

Cooperative A cooperative bank is a financial institution that is owned at the same time by its members. Co-operatives are mostly formed by individuals belonging to some local professional group who have a shared interest in rural finance to meet the last man in the last village; the conventional money lender has no competitor. It provides the only tool that can have demonstrated its worth in reaching the citizens in full; the cooperative movement could not gain traction until 1954, when the RBI approved the recommendation from All India Credit Survey Committee. Each nation depends on the sector of banking. Similarly the Indian banking industry has a unique growth, as the Prime Minister's Bank was formed in the 18th century, and was later the Imperial Bank of India, now known as the State Bank of India in the pre-independence period (SBI). Co-operative banks in India have a crucial role to play in rural finance, by financing areas covering agriculture, livestock, milk, personal financing, independent jobs, and the establishment of small-scale units between the few areas of focus for urban and rural cooperative banks. They provide the necessary alternative to people visiting the village moneylender who have been working for many years, frequently finding themselves in a debt pit that they struggle with.

 Abstract

Aided by the technological advancements and with the advent of the digital media, consumers are now opting for online retail or online shopping. This paradigm shift calls for the marketers to understand and analyze the consumer buying behaviour in a new light. The list of factors that affect the consumer decision process have additions like online customer reviews and E-WOM (electronic word-of-mouth) to name a few. Consumers can easily obtain information about the product or service through online customer reviews and this in turn can have an impact on the consumer decision process. Researchers across the globe acknowledged the impact of customer reviews on the consumer decision process. Consumer decision process is a cognitive process and customer review is bound to perceived differently by different individuals. The primary research objective of this study was to understand the degree of impact of the customer reviews on the consumer decision process of consumers of different age groups. Further, an attempt has been made to analyze whether the degree of impact of the customer reviews varies with the change in the nature of the market offering or not. The study recommends that age and income of the respondents are some of the key elements when determining the degree of impact of customer reviews. It also highlights the fact that consumers irrespective of their age are by and large affected by some form of the customer review or the other. The analysis also indicates that marketers are implementing various forms of customer reviews and customers are influenced by the same but maybe with varying degree depending on the nature of the product/service to be purchased.

 Abstract

With rapidly growing town and infrastructures development , India is now developing and doing construction so fast. This rapid increase in the construction giving birth to the various new problem in India. Concrete is one of the major component of construction , without it no construction can take place. Country like India and other developing countries , which are now focusing on infrastructure demands concrete for their development. And concrete needs sand for its grade composition. This increase in demand of sand creates huge erosion of river bed for the extraction of sand so that the demand can be fulfilled. This over extraction of sand not only effect the physical geography of the river but also effect the various other properties like the infiltration rate, irrigation , river path, shrinkage of river , somewhere widening of river, intrusion of unpure water into ground water , result in reduction of biodiversity, diseases in plants. These changes are so minute that we cannot notice instantly , but eventually when we get to know , it is too late. This long term damage creates so much problem for us , that at last everything will be endangered and the environment will have to suffer due to human causes. Thus , by observing all these changes, there is a need of substitute or alternative material that can take place of the sand , and shows the same properties like sand. And it will be great ,if that substance is waste. This will help us in resolving two problems at one time , first is we are now reducing the erosion of river bed. And second is the reduction in the pollution or unnecessary humps that we are creating here and there by disposing off the waste, also the waste here we are taking have so many small particles that they keep deposited in the air as a particulate matter , causing rapid increase in the air pollution. So the marble dust will be economic , sustainable and environment friendly substitute of the sand that is obtained from the river. Moreover sand and the marble dust have similar performance by chemical analysis. And here in this study here we are going to analysized the performance of concrete of M20 and M25 grade , by partially replacing the sand with the marble dust by 0%, 15%, 25%, 35%, 40% and 50%. And after then we have evaluated the compressive strength of the concrete cube at seventh, fourteenth and twenty-eight day. And examining this we found out that this procedure is so environment friendly and very economical for the project.

 Abstract

Traditional museums around the world are forced to undergo transformation and become more inclusive and representative of their communities in light of postcolonial criticism and New Museum theory. New Museum theory, also called Critical museum theory or New Museology was a result of the debate around the growing demands for the inclusion of indigenous people in the representation of their cultural heritage. As a result, new roles and directions for museums and heritage institutions have emerged which put forward a different museological approach focused not only on artefacts but also on people. Under this new approach, the concept of a museum as a dynamic cultural centre replaces the concept of the museum as a repository of collections. This paper presents the theoretical underpinnings of New Museology and its development in international context. It also examines the development of New Museology in India and provides an overview of its implication in Indian museum practices, using Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (IGRMS) at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh as an example.

 Abstract

The delivery of public services using Information Communication Technologies has been a main point of attention during the era of globalization and liberalization. ICT-mediated governance projects have been competitively pursued by both developed and developing countries. The implementation of the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has clearly established the vision and mission regarding e-Governance in the country. The mission statement of NeGP clearly states that public service delivery should be made at the door steps of the citizens through ICT and Common Service Centres (CSCs). Akshaya Common Service Centres are established in Kerala as an e-literacy project and later took the role of e-service delivery centre. This study has been undertaken to find out the effectiveness of Akshaya e-centres in meeting the expectations of citizens as an e-service provider.

 Abstract

As corporates are profit making organizations basic assumption is that they should be sensitive to the needs of communities or society at large in which they operate, similarly their products and services should not bring negative impact on people and planet. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has wider scope. The banks are one of the major stakeholders in the finance sector. Through its huge network of branches and profit the banking industry is one of the major corporates in India. The banks can have wider socio-economic impact in the society through their financial products and services. Considering this Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines to banks regarding CSR, sustainable development and non-financial reporting and advised that the banks should frame their policies on CSR. To have demonstrated effects implementation of CSR is crucial. The present paper is based on the analysis of CSR activities undertaken by public and private sector banks during three financial years. The paper will throw light on the social issues focused by banks, strategies adopted to implement CSR and social development, involvement of staff, sustainability of such activities etc. The paper will also take review of overall CSR and Social Development and nonfinancial reporting by banks in Tirunelveli district.
