 Abstract

Energy is the driving force of economic growth and its vital element to support the modern economy. Future economic growth of each and every nation�s crucially depends on the long-term availability of energy from different sources that are affordable, accessible and eco-friendly. But at present oil and gas are among the most important energy sources in the world. One thing we need to understand that we need oil and without oil we can�t imagine anything because it became a bloodline of each and every nation�s - currently around 90 million barrels of crude oil consume in each day. We all know that oil can be used for many purposes other than fuel for energy or transport. And yet we are constantly hearing new and often contradictory forecasts about the potential reserves of oil and gas. Efficient, reliable and competitively priced energy supplies are necessary requirement for increasing economic growth. For each and every developing nations, the strategy or policy to obtain and meet the energy demand for the domestic are the integral part of the overall economic strategy. Efficient use of resources and long-term sustainability in its utilization is prime importance for economic development. The research will study each and every aspect why there will be a direct relationship between rising oil price and economy. It will also give detailed information�s, if there are any differences in oil price effects on economic growth between countries.

 Abstract

Bio-surfactant production from bacteria are still an interested research at industrial biotechnology, microbial cell factories and applied microbiology. Mineral Salt Medium (MSM) was used for the bio-surfactant production. Totally 40 bacterial isolates were isolated for the bio-surfactant production. Drop collapse assay, oil spreading assay, emulsification assay and Hydrocarbon Overlay Agar Assay was carried out for screening the potent bio-surfactant efficient strain. Results from 40 Pseudomonas species isolates and the followed method drop collapse method showed 22 isolates, oil spread assay showed 20 isolates and emulsification assay showed 34 isolates exhibited good bio-surfactant activities. Screening method reveals that many isolates showed good response for bio-surfactant production. Therefore further secondary screening methods are required to identify the high efficient strain, culture media optimization, molecular identification and analytical studies are required.

 Abstract

A voice assistant is a digital assistant. A voice assistant make use of voice recognition, natural language processing and speech synthesis. The users can use smart phones or other voice recognizing applications to access the facilities provided by voice assistant. The users can interact with their devices using voice commands in an intuitive manner. The users can give voice commands and the acknowledgement for that command is recognized by the voice assistant interface and the desired output is given. Visually impaired people can make use of this application which will help them to travel from one place to another without anyone. Visually handicapped people can use this application to make their communication easy. Context awareness used in many mobile applications is helpful for those people, but there exist some other dependencies for visually impaired people to communicate with this application. So voice assistant or virtual assistant take it as a challenge to help those people and provide easy communication. The best voice assistants are Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana, Samsung Bixby etc. Amazon Alexa is used to monitor the movement and breathing of infants. In this paper we discuss about various applications of voice assistant.

 Abstract

A comparative study provides an apparatus for analysis, and detailed inspection of the similarities and differences in literature across genres, boundaries or time periods. With an increasing globalization, multifarious and countless literary works, it seems superfluous to state that literary comparison stands at the crossroads of contrasting languages, yields an analysis and understanding of world literature justified by the double stakes involved in comparison. The three novels Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi Blasphemy by Tehmina Durrani and Sold by Patricia McCormick invite comparative analysis on the similarity of the atrocities, abuse that the protagonist of the novel undergo, yet the conspicuous differences in their struggle and the exemplary heroism with which they fight back and decide to live life at their own terms. The authors of these celebrated novels have completely different nationalities. This provides an extensive exposure to an entirely different culture, background and socio-political turbulence in the lives of their characters. But depicts a similar perception of the protagonist towards an orthodox society. Their silent agony metamorphise their submissive identity, and finally exudes an aura of solidity.

Abstract: Fixed deposits allow investors to deposit their money for a specific period for a rate of interest, which is typically higher than what is offered for a savings bank account. Fixed Deposits are popular because of its easy liquidity, reliability and high returns. Senior Citizens, who are old age, retired Government Servant, mostly withdraw monthly pension from the State Bank of India, deposit a lump sum amount of Rupees 5 to 15 lakh there in FD for a fixed period and earn a steady income by way of interest. Recently, due to enormous interest declination in fixed deposit of the bank, particularly in SBI, Senior Citizens are faced in tremendous economic problem. A sampling survey was conducted along with such 100 respondents during the year 2019-20. Opinions and views of them relating to Fixed Deposit interest earnings were recorded. Interest rates are falling. RBI rate cuts are high due to concerns over economic growth and the prevailing low inflation. To protect the real FD interest income of senior citizens they have claim to gain at least 1% more differential interest than the general people for financial security and their imperative needs in old age.

 Abstract

Stress is a critical phenomenon. It is a very subjective experience. It is based on experiences, temperament and environmental conditions. At a crucial stage of health care, India is at an inflexion point of breakdown of employees due to intermittent stress. The jobs high paying come up with a price of high targets resulting towards high job pressure. This leads to work relates stress which are caused due to high work demands which exceeds person�s capacity also leading to factors which make it difficult for the employees to cope up the pressure. The same pressure can be attributing to doctors as Indian healthcare is growing at an intermittent rate of 15% annually. As per medical council of India there are 9.29 Lakh doctors registered in India. With 80% average doctor availability, only 7.14 Lakh doctors may be available at any given point of time in the country. This number is both alarming and shocking as this leads to ratio of 1: 654 doctor patient ratio in country. This ratio is way below the 1:1000 doctor patient ratios as benchmarked by World Health Organization (WHO). This paper intends to measure the prevalence of job stress among doctors working in different hospitals of Jammu and Kashmir. The study is quantitative and descriptive in its nature. For the purpose of study, both secondary and primary data have been collected with the help of structured and closed - ended questionnaire from randomly selected 600 doctors working in government run hospital in Srinagar and Jammu city.
