 Abstract

Women's safety has been highlighted as one of the major concerns of any society where several women are dealing with various safety issues like harassment, rape, molestation, and domestic violence, due to different social or cultural reasons. Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a promising technology to support day-to-day concerns and provide support in handling various affairs. Many IoT-based devices, have been introduced by the community to help women deal with their potential safety threats. The main features these devices offer as well as the wearable, sensors used, and the machine learning algorithms used. The review is carried out by carefully examining and synthesizing the research articles published between 2016 to 2022 in well-reputed research venues. The results revealed that different types of sensors are used to capture the state of women undergoing safety issues where the pulse-rate, and pressure sensors are most commonly used sensors in these devices. In addition, the devices used different technology to transmit the alerts including global positing system (GPS), global system for mobile communication (GSM), and Arduino. Furthermore, several machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, hidden Markov, and decision trees are used to identify the potential under threat women and help prevent the undesirable situation for women beforehand. It was identified that despite producing notable research in the underlying domain the systems emphasizing auto-activation of alert generation with lesser human interaction and improved accuracies are required to be developed for effectively addressing the concern. In addition to reviewing the literature, this study suggests a taxonomy posing different techniques, features, wearables, and sensors used in IoT-based women safety devices. Furthermore, this work proposes an architectural model that presents prominent components necessary to develop IoT-based women's safety devices. Lastly, this study emphasizes the use of combinations of sensors to get multiple types of input data that could lead to determining the possibility of threat with better accuracies and precisions.

 Abstract

The early medieval period Daks?in?a Kos?ala witnessed two different kinds of village/land grants, which were in practice. The traditional type includes the villages that were handed to the Bra?haman donees, as well as to their religious institutions, with perpetual character and exemption from all taxes. Throughout the period, such religious village grants were in vogue, which the royalty commonly used to legitimize their political authority. However, we have come across a special provision of Kara-S?a?sanas mentioned in their land grant charters the Somavam?s?ins, as per which the donations were made to the donees with an obligation to pay a yearly fixed amount. These were the second types of village/land donation practice regularly found in the land grant charters of the Somavam?s?ins and the Later Eastern Gan?ga dynasty.

 Abstract

During the early mediaeval period of Daks?in?a Kos?ala, two types of religious village donations were observed: the first was given to the Bra?hmanas (individuals or groups), while the second was given to their temple institutions. These religious endowments were largely issued by the newly emerging ruling dynasty to legitimize their political authority. The charters issued to register village grants were meant to bring religious/spiritual merits to the donors, but they also consolidated the political range of various dynasties trying to penetrate into their peripheries or the interiors of the forest territories. With each new royal dynasty, the practice of giving village grants to these Bra?hmana donees became more common, resulting in the emergence of landed intermediaries who served as a link between the state and the peasantry. The instances and the provisions of the charters which we have outlined above, point to a process in which village grants were intensified, attached with a growing number of privileges bestowed upon the donees, effectively turned these Brahmana beneficiaries and their temple institutions into landed magnates.

 Abstract

Abstract In this paper study the trend and growth of coconut production in Tamil Nadu during the period from 2010-11 to 2019-20. Indonesia is the highest coconut producing country in the world. India accounts for 22.34 per cent of the world's coconut production and is one of the major players in the world's coconut trade. The Karnataka is the highest coconut production 30.83 share of percentage in India level. Coimbatore got the first rank in coconut production in Tamil Nadu level. Status of Tamil Nadu, it is understood that year on year increase of 0.70 per cent when measured in terms of compound rate of 2,966.30 area in hectare in terms of absolute values on the average in area was significant for coconut. But from the coefficient of variation values, it is apparent that the trend and growth in productivity (CV = 16.05) and production (CV = 14.44) is highly inconsistent compared to that of area (CV = 2.21) in coconut. As increase in area was not proportionate to an increase in production, there had been a notable decline (CAGR = -3.13, t = -2.57, p = < 0.01) and productivity (CAGR = -3.81, t = -3.09, p = < 0.05) during the study period.

 Abstract

There are at least two distinct phases when the Bra?hman?as were migrated to different regions of the Indian sub-continent; the first phase goes back to a time period around 8th century BCE marked by an eastward and southward movement. Large-scale migrations during the early mediaeval period coincided with the second phase of the Bra?hman?ic movement as well. What exactly caused the Bra?hman?as to migrate to different parts of the Indian Subcontinent in the early mediaeval period or during ancient times is unknown. Although the arguments we have at our disposal are theoretical, they provide us insight into the possible causes as they are based on a thorough analysis of historical processes. The primary cause of the initial phase of the Brahman?ic migration was presumably the start of the criticism of their sacrificial ritual practices, which grew increasingly radical and were opposed by the time of Buddhism and Jainism. Bra?hman?ic tradition was gradually replaced by these two major religious practices, which then started to dominate the religious domain in the region. This may have been one of the causes because of which the migration process of the Bra?haman?as started to take place during this time. It is abundantly clear from the epigraphic records that the Bra?haman?as began to migrate from the northern region of the Indian sub-continent to its eastern, western, and southern peripheries during the early medieval period.

 Abstract

This paper attempts to comprehend the effect it has had on the audience. The researcher has examined the body of research on the topic to provide a supportive analysis on romantic partnerships. Since love relationships are not often acknowledged in society, films help young people make decisions about their personal life. With Yash Chopra films serving as the face of romantic films, films made in the 1980s are credited with starting this proliferation of ideas. A romantic notion has been created through dialogue, music, and picturization. India's audience is greatly impacted by these films and can relate to them. It appears that idealising a flawless relationship contributes to viewers creating irrational standards by which to judge their own relationships. Other ideas that seem to have developed from these films include stalking, romanticization of abuse, and gender stereotyping.

 Abstract

The system of examination serves as an integral part of the education process. The whole academic achievement of the student depends on many factors such as course contents, curriculum design, examination pattern, evaluation structure and time framework assigned to subjects in each class. There are various types of education system for various courses at graduation and post-graduation level. Broadly, there are two types of education systems prevailing in India i.e. Annual and Semester system of education. The paper puts an effort in analysing teacher's perception on both the systems of education used for higher education. Semester system in which the academic year is divided into a period of six months leading to exams twice in a year and annual system in which the final evaluation takes place only at the end of the year. The paper also attempts to analyse the variation in the perception of college teachers related to annual and semester system on the basis of their experience and subject of specialisation. The data for the study has been collected through structured questionnaire in online mode. One-way ANOVA and Chi-Square test have been used in order to test the significance. The statistical analysis of data reveals that the majority of the teachers prefer annual system than semester system with regards to quality of course contents and student evaluation and performance. However, with regards to teaching experience, they have shown variation in the perception about recommendation for semester system for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Overall, it may be suggested that to a greater extent, annual system is more beneficial for the students as recommended by the teachers.
