 Abstract

Values are those characteristics of human beings that provide them motivation and guidance throughout their lives. It is considered as the guiding principles of life that govern behaviour at the core of the personality. Value education means inculcation of discipline, a sense of humanism and a deep concern for the well-being of others and the nation among the students. It is the process by which people give moral values to each other. Value education helps in the development of social, moral, aesthetic and spiritual sides of a person which are often undermined in formal education. It teaches us to preserve whatever is good and worthwhile in what was inherited from our culture. A teacher is a person who helps others to acquire knowledge, competences or values and plays a vital role not only as an interpreter of culture and dispenser of knowledge but also acts as a builder of attitudes, values and beliefs. The teacher is role model of student and society and play major role in inculcating ethical behaviour among students and they are expected to act as facilitator for acquisition of knowledge, inculcator of values and transformer of inner being. Value education is the much debated and discussed subject in the present scenario of education in our society. Perhaps in the coming years, the main purpose of any education will go with value orientation. In this paper, an attempt has been made to conceptualize the value education for students. The methodology of this paper is descriptive and required informations are collected from different secondary sources like books, research articles, different government documents etc.

 Abstract

The 21st century is the world of technology where most people do not even imagine their life without technology. The growth and popularity of social media has created a new world of collaboration and communication. Social networking sites refer to various applications, websites or new online media that allows large numbers of individuals to share their information and develop a proper social and specialized contact. These sites emphasize the creation of a connection between people to enable them to share their interests. More than a billion individuals around the world are connected and networked together to create, collaborate, and contribute their knowledge and wisdom. Teenagers, especially students also engage in social media whether to use it as a platform to seek for new information or connect with their friends. Despite the importance of social media, it also brings the drawbacks to those who misuse this technology Therefore, this paper aims to discuss the awareness of Social Media among student-teachers and to find whether there is any significant differences with respect to gender, locality and type of management of colleges. The research design is of normative survey method and the sampling technique used for the study is stratified random sampling. Keeping in view the aim of the study, 440 student-teachers from B.Ed students belonging to government, government aided and self finance colleges of education in the Chennai district were randomly selected. Further, it is observed that male student-teachers have high social media awareness when compared to female student-teachers and rural locale student-teachers have high social media awareness when compared to urban locale student-teachers. It is further inferred that student-teachers of government colleges of education had exhibited high social media awareness than student-teachers of government aided colleges of education and then followed by self finance colleges of education. In the modern world, we need to develop the awareness of social media among student-teachers in the colleges of education because today's student-teachers are going to be future teachers, who are responsible to monitor, regulate and shape the future generations.

 Abstract

Now a day�s agriculture is facing a wide range of challenges all across the world. The important challenges are crop yield stagnation, decrease in arable land due to land degradation and urbanization, low nutrient use efficiency, deficiencies of more than one nutrients in soil, declining soil organic and water availability etc. It would be difficult to produce enough food to feed the ever increasing populations. Fertilizers play a vital role in increasing agricultural production, but excessive use of chemical fertilizers irreversibly damages the chemical ecology of soil and reduces the available area for crop production. Nanomaterials in fertilizers improves the productivity of crops. In this article we are discussing about the use of Nanofertilizers in agriculture and their extensive uses compared to conventional bulk fertilizers.

Abstract: Social capital is the expected collective on common benefit derived from the potential treatment and cooperation between individuals and groups. The social capital theory gained the importance through integration of the classical sociological theory with the description of an intangible form of capital. Many studies on social capital starts with the early evolution of the concept of social capital which has relevance in understanding the historic development of the concept , not the term which has deep roots in the early sociology and economics . The concept of social capital or the value that can be derived from social ties created by goodwill, mutual support, shared languages, common beliefs and a sense of mutual obligation, has been applied to a number of fields from sociology to management. Social capital is generated collectively but can also be used individually, bridging the dichotonomized approach. Over the last few years there has been a remarkable increase in the number of published studied dealing with social capital issues. However, there are scanty studies at village level relating to social capital and bank performance. In this background the present study examines how social capital affects bank�s efficiency for a sample of financial institutions in Kaipamangalamgramapanchayath.

 Abstract

Concrete is a brittle material which has a low strength and limited ductility. These weak points of concrete can be resolved by including fibers made of different materials with high technical specifications. This special type of concrete is known as Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) which exhibits superior properties in terms of ductility, fracture energy, toughness, strength and durability due to the addition of steel fibers when compared to conventional concrete. SFRC has a varied application area. In practice, steel fibers which have different lengths, diameters, and aspect ratios are used. These variable characteristics of steel fibers have highly influence on the performance of SFRC.The paper presents results of an experimental investigation carried out to study the properties of reinforced cement concrete and steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) containing mixed fibres of different aspect ratio. An experimental programme was planned in which workability tests were conducted to investigate the properties of the fresh concrete mixes. Meanwhile, the properties of the hardened concrete were investigated using compressive tests, split tensile tests and flexural strength tests. And effect of fibres when it is distributed in hinged zone of structural element was also examined to achieve economy by reducing steel fibre content in concrete mix. The results indicate that the Mixed steel fibre reinforced concrete (at volume fraction of 1.5%, consisting of 75% macro fibres and 25% micro fibres) can be adjusted as the most appropriate combination to be employed in SFRC for compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. However, better workability was obtained as the percentage of shorter fibres increased in the concrete mix. And there is little amount of variation in properties of concrete between fibres in full length of the beam and fibres in hinged zone of the beam.

The concept of M?y? i.e. illusion is a fundamental concept in Hindu philosophy, notable in the Advaita (Nondualist school of Ved?nta. M?y? forms one of the pillars of the Ved?nta Philosophy, generally is interpreted as to mean illusion. It has multiple meanings in Indian Philosophies depending on the context. M?y? originally denoted the magic power with which a God can make human beings believe in worldly existence to be an illusion. M?y? is the manifestation of the world. The description is enormous in Vedanta philosophy. But a small attempt is done here to analyse the concept in a nutshell.

 Abstract

In many organizations, reward decisions depend on subjective performance evaluations. However, evaluating an employee's performance is often difficult. In this paper, we develop a model in which the employee is uncertain about his own performance and about the manager's ability to assess him. The manager gives an employee a performance appraisal with a view of affecting the employee's self perception, and the employee's perception of the manager's ability to assess performance. We examine how performance appraisals affect the employee's future performance. The predictions of our model are consistent with various empirical findings. These comprise (i) the observation that managers tend to give positive appraisals, (ii) the finding that on average positive appraisals motivate more than negative appraisals, and (iii) the observation that the effects of appraisals depend on the employee's perception of the manager's ability to assess performance accurately.

J K Rowling creates the extraordinary Wizarding world as a reflection of the ordinary world we (muggles) inhabit. Though she populates it with witches and wizards with astonishing talents, they prove to be humans like ourselves. Hence, the famed portal quest fantasy is chosen for this paper, because the portal (the Harry Potter universe/ portal, popularly called the Potterverse) gives an apt platform as it hosts young students treading towards maturity. The Harry Potter Series is immensely famous; and since the stories are made into films there is a definite trickling down into the popular culture. But this work focuses on the text alone to study the promising aspects which are of interest with regard to gender and the social markers that allow exploring this scope. Gender is a complicated and multi-faceted spectrum, though the text tends to be limited with the binary division, these limitations are taken into consideration to explore the non-hegemonic views. Though gender roles are not abiding in the series, there are instances of them occurring, especially with the weaker characters like Merope Gaunt, Moaning Myrtle, etc. Hermione, Ginny and Luna break many stereotypes and head forward in the careers of their choice.

 Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have a set of algorithms and protocols with self-establishing capabilities. These sensors work with each and every different to sense some bodily phenomenon after which the information gather is processed to get relevant outcomes. These sensor nodes can calculate, sense, and assemble particulars from the atmospheres and based totally on some nearby decision process, they are in a position to transmit the sensed files to the person. The battery is the foremost electrical energy grant in a sensor node and secondary energy supply that harvests energy from the atmospheres together with photo voltaic panels may additionally be brought to the node depending on the appropriateness of the atmospheres where the sensor will be diffuse. Clustering is the method which performs the grouping of similar nodes and then starts communicating into the clusters. Security can be finished by means of encrypting and decrypting the facts and make them unable to read that from the malicious users. Cryptography is the useful technique which contains symmetric and asymmetric methods. In this paper we find out about about WSN and its utility or a number of assaults which exist in the sensor community in the middle of paper we talk about a variety of existing technique and it�s working. Various assaults are carried out in this community such as passive and lively assaults or insider and outsider attacks. The wireless network always required protection in the form of information integrity, confidentiality, authenticity and etc.

5G networks appoint multicarrier modulations (MCM)s along with filtered-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) and standard filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (UF-OFDM) as a solution to triumph over the demanding situations of excessive statistics fees and spectral efficiency [1]. However, MCMs have high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which drives the energy amplifier (PA) within the linear location ensuing within the decreased performance. To conquer this hassle PAPR need to be reduced [1-4]. In this paper, precoding based PAPR reduction strategies which includes Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), Discrete Cosine Transform DCT) and Zadoff-Chu Transform (ZCT) are carried out the use of MATLAB for F-OFDM and UF-OFDM systems. Comparison analysis suggests that Zadoff-chu Transform precoding method for PAPR reduction offers higher effects. Hence, ZCT precoding is proposed for both FOFDM and UF-OFDM systems. Simulation effects display that proposed technique lowers down the strength spectral density (PSD) tails on the PA output, reduces PAPR and immediately to average electricity ratio (IAPR) and conserves the bit mistakes rate (BER) within the AWGN channel

 Abstract

Fuel cells offer the possibility of zero-emissions electricity generation and increased energy security. We review here the current status of solid oxide (SOFC) and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEMFC) fuel cells. Such solid electrolyte systems obviate the need to contain corrosive liquids and are thus preferred by many developers over alkali, phosphoric acid or molten carbonate fuel cells. Dramatic improvements in power densities have been achieved in both SOFC and PEMFC systems through reduction of the electrolyte thickness and architectural control of the composite electrodes. Current efforts are aimed at reducing SOFC costs by lowering operating temperatures to 500�800 � C, and reducing PEMFC system complexity be developing �water-free� membranes which can also be operated at temperatures slightly above 100 � C.
