 Abstract

Current situation is the best example entailing the pros and cons of working being virtually present. Every sector apart from hospitality and tourism which is facing complete shut ,all the other sectors including education is accessible on virtual platform.The concept of virtual workplace is where an employee works in a different situation away from his office, manager and his colleagues.IBM has managed to save millions of rupees after going for an infrastructural change and making its employee work on virtual platform.The system is unique in its own way where it offers full-time flexibility and a low stress job. It also has its own list of disadvantages. Employees often feel isolated, lack of trust, difficult to be motivated and even they fear of career limits. The management other than to be focussed more on savings time and cost must acknowledge the existence of virtual teams. Some preventive steps from the management can boost the enthusiasm and integrity within the virtual team

Abstract: Tribal communities around the world are grappling with major socio-economic change. They are on the cusp of the crisis in sustainable development. Tribal society is marginalized and is therefore easily transformed. Deprivation of land and forests are the oppression that these people experience. Inclusive growth is high-priority. Generation of productive and gainful employment for the tribes is crucial for inclusive growth. Scheduled Tribes (STs) of Maharashtra are the most marginalized. They have become disadvantaged and vulnerable as a result of invasion of their territories since the era of colonisation. Urbanization and commercialization have threatened the livelihood of the tribal communities. They struggle for survival in remote and inaccessible location. The issue of tribal work participation and unemployment is related to number of factors. As a result, tribal families regularly migrate in search of work. Tribes therefore are accultured marginal workers in most of the regions in Maharashtra. Rural tourism has a potential to provide employment opportunities to this marginalized section of the society. The paper is showcasing the success story of Korkus of Semadoh. The main objective of this paper is to find out the role of rural tourism in providing employment opportunities and its impact on tribal society of Semadoh. Data is been collected from field visit, personal interviews and secondary sources. Main finding and research exploration brings forth that rural tourism could effectuate the issue of unemployment of tribal community.

The aim of this paper was to bring out the beneficial properties present in petals of hibiscus flowers and their fortification in fruit juice. One of the flowers of Indian Subcontinent is �Hibiscus rosa sinensis� which is rich in antioxidants, anthocyanins, flavonoids. Main coloring pigment is anthocyanin which is proved to cure cancer, lower down cholesterol level and clear the digestive tract. Freshly plucked hibiscus flowers were taken and their petals were removed by hand. Petals were put in a tray drier for drying at 51.8�C. After drying they were crushed into fine pieces manually.100 grams of powdered leaves were obtained. Anthocyanin being water soluble, the powder was boiled in water at 80�C.The anthocyanin pigment was extracted in liquid form. It was mixed with lime juice and polyphenol content was measured by gallic acid equivalent method. Final product obtained showed 13 times increase in polyphenol content compared to commercially available fruit juice. Hence the above juice can be used as an effective health drink for human consumption and protect the body from free radical damage.

ABSTRACT An environmentally benign cost effective method was reported for green synthesis of Ag-Ni bimetallic nanoparticles by using Aerva Lanata leaf extract. The phyto molecules present in the extract are acting as reducing agents, stabilizing and capping agents for the biosynthesized nano particles. The characterization studies were done by UV-VIS , FTIR spectroscopies , SEM, XRD, EDX and HRTEM analyses. These nanoparticles were further applied as photocatalysts for degradation of Malachite Green dye by irradiation under sunlight. From this present study on bimetallic Ag-Ni nanoparticles synthesized from Areva lanata leaf extract, the optimum conditions found in the degradation of malachite green dye is pH 8, weight of catalyst 30 mg, dye concentration of 10 ppm and contact time of 120 minutes. A maximum photodegradation of ~ 85-89% could be obtained under these optimum conditions.

The innovation of technology and having fast internet make information to distribute over the planet easily and economically. this is often made people worry about privacy and works. Steganography may be a technique that forestalls unauthorized users to possess access to big data. The steganography provides methods that users can hide and blend their information with other information that make them difficult to acknowledge by attackers. In this, we review some techniques of steganography spatial and frequency domains. Also, we explain the kinds of steganography host documents. It also can pose serious problems due to it difficult to detect. Network surveillance and monitoring systems won't flag messages or files that contain steganographic data. and that we also see some applications, pros, and cons of steganography.

 Abstract

Behavioral segmentation divides a population based on their behavior, the way the population respond to, use or know about a product. The different pattern in behavioral segmentation in India and all around world has created a tremendous prospects of Consumers. The purpose of this research is to enrich our knowledge of the Indian market and provide insights into how usage rate segmentation can be enhanced by select innovative perspectives of current offerings. The main objective of this research is to study the possibility, Perceived dissatisfaction, satisfaction, delight, Perceived usefulness and Perceived ease of usage rate on behavioral market segmentation by analyzing high usage, medium usage and low usage. The population of this research consisted of online and outlet shoppers from India. The sample of the study comprised of more than 40 online shoppers. Respondents belonged to different age groups, income groups and occupations. A pre � structured questionnaire was used to measure the factors influencing the respondent�s behavior to shop. Different possibilities and perceived dissatisfaction in terms of performance expectations influence consumers usage rate, brand loyalty, user status and occasion for any product or brand. The recommendations presented in this research may help foster growth of Indian retailing in future. The research findings revealed that perceived satisfaction and delight positively impact consumer�s attitude towards segmentation while perceived dissatisfaction and risk negatively impact consumer attitude towards product and brand and thus usage rate declines or ends.

Subjectivity in a Scientific Reference-frame : Some Assumptions . Dr.Dipankar Chakrabarti M.A, Ph.D. D.LITT. Abstract In several occasions scholars and literati have addressed the issue an apparent rivalry between Science and Poetry. My present paper deals with some of my subjective assumption so far as the homogeneity of intent of the subjects are concerned. I feel, both the subjects deal with the common issue of betterment life on this earth. Daniel Albright�s Quantum Poetics is one such effort for the unification of events under reference. We know that the photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons or other free carriers when light hits a material. Electrons emitted in this manner can be called photoelectrons. This phenomenon is commonly studied in electronic physics and in fields of chemistry such as quantum chemistry and electrochemistry. As per the second law of photo-electric emissions, we know that emission of light from a particular metal becomes possible if it is hit by a light of definite frequency . This frequency in quantum mechanics is termed as Threshold Frequency. Therefore, Threshold Frequency for each emitting metals are different. Likewise, when a sensitive mind visualises an object of appreciation he feels elated. But his expression of joy depends on the quantum of stimulus he receives form that object. He, normally, feels exuberant to remember the event, write or tell his feeling to others in the form of verbal communication or poetry if the event can trigger off his imagination or feeling. Like photo electric emission every sensitive mind has its own Threshold limit by which his imagination is triggered off. To complete the poetic process , the thought has to follow other essential steps (like reminiscence, recrudescence and reproduction as had been referred by William Wordsworth in Preface to Lyrical Ballads/ or other steps as was suggested by the experts) . Synaesthesia and kinaesthesia are the two main different types of imagery John Keats had extensively used. Synaesthesia is a condition in which one sense (for example , hearing) is simultaneously perceived as if one or more additional senses such as sight. Another form of synaesthesia joins objects such as letters, shapes, numbers or people�s names with a sensory perception such as smell, colour or flavour. Since the kinetic means motion or movement, kinaesthetic imagery is the representation of the actions and movements of an object or a character. A perfect combination of both the forms of imageries are discernable on the urn in Keats� ode entitled � Ode on a Grecian Urn�. Many such example are seen in the his other odes also. An analogy form life may tell us stories which apparently remains obscure. In our day to day life sometimes we come across few people whom we might not have met before but from their first appearance we feel that the person is already known to us. Normally, we show eagerness to enhance our intimacy with the person and become ready to share our personal feelings. On the contrary, there are some persons whom we try to avoid though we do not have any personal enmity. Hypothetically, it may be assumed if the brain cells of two individuals are spectroscopic ally or one becomes integral to the other the two persons may feel at home with the other. A dissimilarity may foster hostility. Sometimes colour/ light waves may also become expressive of human emotions. For example, the colour Green denotes healthy thought, Red denotes dangerous object of thought. In Vaishnabite religious text (often written in verse), the width of Grief of Sri Radhika due to her separation from Lord Krishna is marked as Blue(perhaps to denote the endlessness of sea). A tragic or broken heart is often stained in Black at the core as we find in the cover page Shakespearean Tragedy King Lear. It is also customary to use Black colour in an incidence of sorrow or remorse. Bright or gorgeous colour stand for jubilation and mirth, and so on. It may, therefore, be safely affirmed that the scientific postulations may be used for expressing subjective events. Instead of nourishing the enmity we may join our hands together to usher in a better life on the earth�s crest.

The present paper deals with the batch arrival single server retrial queueing system in which the arrivals occur in batches following Poisson process and service time is generally distributed. It is assumed that the server takes vacations during idle period according to the Multiple Adapted Vacation (MAV) policy and single vacation between two consecutive services during busy period. Unexpected interruptions during service time are also considered and the interrupted service will be resumed from the point of interruption as soon as the system is fixed. The Markovian structure of the model is obtained by introducing the remaining time of service time, vacation time and repair time as supplementary variables. The queue size probabilities and mean queue lengths when the system is in different states are calculated. Since the MAV policy generalizes many other vacation policies, the steady-state results of various vacation queueing models including non-vacation case are deduced by establishing the stochastic decomposition property for vacation queues.
