 Abstract

The place of mind in the philosophical systems of India is briefly discussed. The philosophies selected are - Vedas, Upanishads, and Six systems of philosophies (saddarsanas), Gita and materialistic school of Carvaaka. That mind is of subtle physical nature and that self is postulated as higher than mind in the hierarchy is being pointed out. Mind can be man's own friend to elevate him or his foe debasing him. Modern neuro-science and the ancient materialistic schools do not subscribe to the existence of self. An integrated approach extending beyond the mind in psychiatric care is suggested. Scientific and technological advances do not necessarily preclude a transcendent (spiritual) dimension to the total care.

 Abstract

Drying is an ancient method use for preserving food stock, over a period of time this method is sophisticated by the use of dryer. Green house solar dryer uses the thermal energy of the sun and principle of greenhouse effect. In this project we studied the most effective way of drying agricultural products like carrot, tulsi, potato etc. In a closed solar dryer, products are protected from rodents, birds, debris, rain and other environmental factors. There are various types of solar dryer available for construction; type can be selected according to the requirement and environment of drying. High temperature is achieved in a closed solar dryer which reduces the amount of time required for drying. Forced convection drying method which increases the flow of air inside the dryer and removes the excess of moisture to the atmosphere. Experiments were conducted by using sample of tulsi, carrot, chili and potato in which comparison was made between open sun drying method and close sun drying method.

 Abstract

The core objectives of the study is to investigate whether Performance Appraisal (PA) significantly relates to business performance in Indian garment firms; to find out whether a significant difference exists between large garment firms and non-large garment firms with regard to perceived quality of PA and to reveal whether a significant difference exists between large garment firms and non-large garment firms with regard to business performance. Three hypotheses were formulated using deductive approach. The study was conducted by using a stratified random sample of 300 garment firms in India. But only 274 are are considerd for the study due to sampling error Type of investigation was correlation and it was cross-sectional in time horizon. The unit of analysis was organisational level: each firm. General Manager or Human Resource Manager served as the respondent on behalf of the firm. Measures of the study were of good quality after assuring reliability and validity. Data were possible to be collected from 68 garment firms-18 non-large firms and 50 large firms. In order to test the first that was concerned with relationship between perceived systematic use of performance appraisal system of a firm and perceived degree of business performance the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation technique was applied. The second hypothesis and third hypothesis were concerned with difference between large garment firms and non-large garment firms with regard to perceived quality of PA and perceived degree of business performance respectively and Independent Sample T test was the appropriate technique to test the validity of the two hypotheses. The results of the study showed a significant and positive relationship between perceived systematic use of PA system and perceived degree of business performance of garment firms in India. Business performance of large garment firms is significantly different from that of non-large garment firms.

 Abstract

Rapid developments of technology shrink the world and rule all over the field. Everyday the requirements of the human society need an advanced development as well as the invention of new technology. But, now a days the education society in rural areas are failed to deliver its contribution in the modern educational methodologies due to the lack of man power or economical background or lack of awareness for the utilization of technology . In the modern effective teaching and learning environment, the role of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is inevitable to bring the world into the class room. Most of our educational system or methodology is class room based teaching and learning process within the four walls. In this aspect, only few educational sectors either it may be governmental, aided or self finance category to give participation for amalgamation of traditional teaching process with modern methodology. In this research article give detailed specification for the Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on School’s education especially to focus on Sivagangai District.

 Abstract

In order to classify the spoofed as well as non-spoofed faces from images, the face spoof detection technique has been proposed. In order to analyze the textual features present within a test image, the DWT algorithm is applied. In order to classify the spoofed and non-spoofed features, the already existing approach used SVM classifier. However, the accuracy of results needs to be enhanced in the proposed work in order to identify the spoofed daces. In order to analyze the proposed approach, comparisons are made amongst the proposed and existing mechanisms in terms of accuracy and execution time.

 Abstract

Seaweed farming activities is regarded as hub that provides income to most of the coastal communities especially women in Zanzibar. Tanzania is the third exporter of seaweed in the world whereby women contributes 80% of seaweed productions. The study was carried out in the east coastal of Zanzibar with the aim of examining how seaweed farming activities improve the livelihoods of women in the east coastal of Zanzibar specifically at Bwejuu and Paje villages. The study also identified the methods used in seaweed farming; and determined the common uses of seaweed. The study collected data through literature review, interviews and questionnaire survey. Sixty women were randomly selected from both Bwejuu and Paje villages. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The study revealed that, women improved their livelihoods which impacted their families and communities as well. Other findings depicted that, women produced 412 tons of seaweed in the year 2015/16 which is equivalent to 80% while men produced only 103 tons equivalent to 20% of total seaweed productions. Majorities of women 49% were reported to earn more than 900,000 TZS from seaweed farming activities and 76% of them were able to pay school fees for their children in the year of 2015/16. On accounting women livelihoods aspects it was also reported that, between the years of 2012-15 eleven (11) houses were constructed by women while two (2) houses were bought and forty nine (49) houses were repaired. Women were able to subscribe their basic needs simply because they earned money from seaweed farming activities. Further results identified line or off bottom and deep water floating as methods used in seaweed farming. Finally results reported the common uses of seaweed are; food, agar, cosmetics, medicines, minerals and fertilizers. Seaweed farming activities is found a key way to reach sustainable development goals (SDGs) before 2030 as put by United Nations especially target one and eight of ending poverty and stabilizing economic growth among communities. It is recommended that integration and considerations of seaweed farming and processing systems in both governmental and development partners policies is necessary not only for women empowerment but for the country sustainability and development especially in Zanzibar archipelago.

 Abstract

Nigeria under President Muhammad Buhari is been seen as Africa proponent of war against corruption which has become an endemic and an ugly facet of every societal and political life. It has been identified as one of the banes of the country's economic growth, good governance and administrative advancement of the country. Corruption undermines the fulfilment of the great potentials of the people of Nigeria who are the victims of mal-administration, poor quality of good public service and societal fabrics unquestioned and unassailable. The paper is based on the hypothesis that there is a strong link between endemic corruptions in Nigeria which is hitherto hindering the ability of the country to enjoy good governance at all arms of government. It is the main responsibility for inability of the government to provide good services and infrastructural development leading to lack of deficiency in good governance and performance of the Nigerian political talents. This work delves into the factors promulgating corruption as well as obstructing economic growth, administrative lapses and frustrating attainment of good governance. Lastly, the paper addresses some public sector and government initiatives that have been taken to induce ethical government and contest the endemic corruption in governance, socio-economic fabrics of the society and finally restoring hope in Governance and the administrative processes.

A highway pavement is designed to support the wheel loads imposed on it from traffic moving over it. Additional stresses are also imposed by changes in the environment. It should be strong enough to resist the stresses imposed on it and it should be thick enough to distribute the external loads on the earthen sub grade, so that the sub grade itself can safety bear it.

 Abstract

Concrete is the most extensively used construction material in the world. Concrete is normally prepared by using coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement and water measured by weight in a required proportion. These materials are obtained from natural resource. Continuous use of these materials on a large scale leads to their depletion causing strain on the environment. Large quantities of waste materials are produced from the manufacturing industry, service industry and municipal solid waste incinerators. The waste materials are gaining attention to use the materials as a substitute to natural aggregates or cement in concrete. The second most consumed product in the world is Cement. It contributes nearly 7% of the global carbon dioxide emission. GGBS which are considered as a more eco-friendly alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based concrete. By using this type of industrial by-products in concrete industry as a replacement for cement we can reduce the usage of cement which results in minimizing the emission of greenhouses gases into the atmosphere and also savings in cost. Bottom-ash is considered as alternate fine aggregate. By using this can able to prevent the scarcity of river-sand. In this research, this project focused on the effects of varies percentage of bottom ash and GGBS replacement on the concrete and also study compressive strength, tensile strength and of concrete containing bottom ash as river-sand replacement and GGBS as cement replacement. The strength is analyzed 7days and 28days. The strength for 0, 25, 50, 75, 100% replacement of bottom ash with fine aggregate and 0, 25, 50, 75, 100% replacement of GGBS with cement is higher or equal to conventional concrete.
