 Abstract

The primary aim of the Automatic Railway Bridge System is to assist physically challenged passengers in moving from one platform to another. Crossing the railway track within the station premises poses significant challenges, especially for the handicapped and elderly individuals, who often require assistance from others. In this study, the agents utilize various resources such as train characteristics, driving regulations, and information pertaining to other trains to formulate their action plan. Many elderly individuals suffer from ailments such as leg cramps, walking difficulties, vein issues, and chronic foot pains, making it imperative to address this issue. To tackle this problem, we propose a project involving the implementation of a horizontally adjusted platform connecting both station platforms. This innovation eliminates the need for both adults and children to climb bridges, thereby saving time for passengers and ensuring smoother operations for all

 Abstract

Environmental justice is typically defined as distributive justice, which is the equitable distribution of environmental risks and benefits. Some definitions address procedural justice, which is the fair and meaningful participation in decision-making. Other scholars emphasise recognition justice, which is the recognition of oppression and difference in environmental justice communities. People's capacity to convert social goods into a flourishing community is a further criteria for a just society. However, initiatives have been taken to expand the notion of environmental justice beyond the three pillars of distribution, participation, and recognition to also include the dimensions of self-governing authority, relational ontologies, and epistemic justice. The goal of the environmental justice movement is to achieve agency for marginalised communities in making environmental decisions that affect their lives. The global environmental justice movement arises from local environmental conflicts in which environmental defenders frequently confront multi-national corporations in resource extraction or other industries. Local outcomes of these conflicts are increasingly influenced by trans-national environmental justice networks. Environmental justice scholars have produced a large interdisciplinary body of social science literature that includes contributions to political ecology, environmental law, and theories on justice and sustainability. The article reviews two decades of scholars' claims that exposures to pollution and other environmental risks are unequally distributed by race and class, examines case studies of environmental justice social movements and the history and politics of environmental justice policy making in the United States, and describes the emerging issue of global climate justice. The authors engage the contentious literature on how to quantitatively measure and document environmental injustice, especially the complex problems of having data of very different types and areas (such as zip codes, census tracts, or concentric circles) around polluting facilities or exposed populations. Also considered is the value of perspectives from critical race theory and ethnic studies for making sense of these social phenomena. The article concludes with a discussion of the globalization of the environmental justice movement, discourse, and issues, as well as with some policy implications of finding and understanding environmental justice. One unique feature of this review is its breadth and diversity, given the different approaches taken by the three co-authors.

Abstract: This paper explores the significance of indigenous knowledge (IK) in Tribe of Rayagada, Odisha, India, and the need for its documentation. Traditionally, the people of Rayagada have relied on local knowledge systems inherited from their ancestors, which have been crucial for their livelihoods, particularly in agriculture. Over time, this localized knowledge has evolved into Indigenous Knowledge (IK), specific to particular communities and regions. With the modernization of society, the importance of IK for marginalized populations, including ethnic minorities, rural and tribal communities, and women, has come to the forefront. This trend is not unique to India but is observed globally, with recognition of IK by international bodies such as the United Nations. Odisha, with its rich cultural heritage and diverse communities, possesses a wealth of indigenous knowledge, especially among its tribal populations. The paper emphasizes the need for documenting this indigenous knowledge to preserve and utilize it effectively for sustainable development in the state.

Abstract In Modern times, financial operations of the NBFCs are far superior in terms of hassle free approach to customer, approvals of loans and accelerated disbursement of the sanctioned loans because of the Integration of Innovative financial services with the Technological solutions. One of such arrangement is peer to peer lending (P2P), an online lending platform. It can be defined as "the use of an online platform that brings lenders and borrowers together in order to provide unsecured loans. People who want to borrow money (borrowers) connect with people who have money to lend (lenders)". The main characteristic of peer-to-peer lending is that both the parties do not have any relationship existing between them and still can have a safe and successful transaction. It is a win-win situation for both, as borrowers can get credit with fewer hassles and lower interest rates, while lenders can gain higher returns on their invested capital. RBI has issued guidelines to regulate peer lending companies as non-banking financial companies (NBFCS) under section 451 (f)(iii) the RBI Act. At present, there are 26 P2P lending platforms registered with RBI. The paper is prepared to scrutiny the overview of P2P Lending, policy guidelines of RBI and performance of one of the leading P2P companies viz LenDen club. Analysis reveals that it is an upcoming sector in the Indian financial sector landscape exhibiting a growth of more than 10 times in one year since its evolution in 2012. In 2023 year, peer-to-peer lending has seen a large number of new entrants into the market. Till date, 3-3.5 million investors have opened investment accounts across various P2P lending platforms in India. Further, these Platforms have invested approximately Rs 20,000 crore in loans. This sector is playing pivotal role in bridging the gap between Traditional banking system and unmet financial needs of individuals and SME business. This alternative lending model not only enhances access to credit but also fosters financial inclusion and empowers a broader spectrum of individuals to participate actively in India's growing economy. In recent times, most of the small investors finding this sector more profitable than the equity market with less risk. Hence, RBI has to sharpen its regulating teeth to protect the small investors. Performance analysis of LenDen club reveals that more than 1 crore customers have registered with Rs. 13693 crores invested since its inception. It has been a largest P2P with an annual growth of 400%. In the forthcoming years, the platform of P2P lending will be great source of finance individuals and SME businesses.

The "Pothole Alert System for Safer Two-Wheeler Riding" project addresses the pressing issue of road safety in India, particularly during the monsoon season when hazardous potholes are prevalent. Potholes are responsible for approximately 6% of accidents, with a significant number involving two-wheeler vehicles. To mitigate these accidents, this innovative system employs a GPS module to pinpoint potholes' exact locations and assess their severity. The data is stored on the device and later transmitted to a remote database when an internet connection is available. A dedicated web page displays this information on a map, allowing both the public and municipal officials to understand the distribution of potholes. The system processes real-time sensor data to instantly identify and classify potholes by severity. When a pothole is detected, it generates immediate alerts for riders through various communication channels, including visual indicators on the vehicle's dashboard and audible alarms. Integration with a web platform also provides historical data on pothole occurrences and road conditions. This project's goal is to reduce accidents caused by potholes by implementing an intelligent system that rapidly detects and communicates pothole severity to two-wheeler riders. It not only enhances road safety but also encourages collaboration between the public and relevant authorities to facilitate proactive road maintenance. In summary, the Pothole Alert System is a comprehensive solution that leverages technology to address a critical safety issue on Indian roads and fosters a more proactive approach to road maintenance and safety.

 Abstract

Pico hydroelectricity is a good and reliable type of clean energy. In this project, we talk about making a pico-hydro system that takes water from houses' water tanks. The energy from the water flowing in pipes at home can make electricity for storing energy. To make it work better and produce more energy, we have three new mechanical setups: an air bladder to keep water pressure, U-tube piping, and a big nozzle at the end of the pipe. This system doesn't need fuel and doesn't need much upkeep to make power. We want to make a machine that uses the energy stored in water tanks to make power. So, the goal of this project is to create a small hydro system that uses water from a tank to make electricity for homes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between functional friendships, interpersonal dependency and perceived choice among young adult females aged 18-24. Utilizing a sample of 150 participants, the research employed ex post facto methodology and statistical analyses including correlation and simple linear regression. Valid and reliable measures, including the Mcgill Friendship Questionnaire (FF) which has 6 sub domains stimulating companionship (F1), help (F2), intimacy (F3), reliable alliance (F4), self validation (F5), emotional security (F6). Perceived choice and awareness of self scale (PCASS) with two domains Perceived Choice (PC1) and Awareness of Self (PC2) and Interpersonal Dependency inventory-6 items version (idi-6) containing Emotional dependency (ID1) and Functional dependency (ID2) , were utilized. Results revealed weak correlations among functional friendship domains, interpersonal dependency domains, and awareness of self. The findings suggest that friendships may influence individuals' perceptions of themselves and their emotional management. This study highlights a gap in research on adult friendships, emphasizing the significance of further exploration in this area, particularly given the increasing reliance on friendships in adulthood. Additionally, the variable of perceived choice also identified as autonomy warrants further investigation beyond its association with medical health decisions.
