 Abstract

Grass cutting is a time- consuming and labor-intensive process. The technology that is available in the present-day for grass cutting operation is mostly the manually handled Diesel operated cutter. These types of equipment operating under non-conventional sources of energy emit green- house gases and pollute the environment and also responsible for climate change. These grass cutters are also a source of noise pollution that adversely affects the health of the cutter and the surrounding people. The cost of diesel is another matter for consideration. To mitigate the problems of the conventional cutter, a solar-powered automatic grass cutter is designed. Solar energy is chosen because it is free of cost, pollution-free and renewable form of energy. The automation is done to reduce the need for labor. The design consists of a solar panel of rated power 20 W, Solar charge controller of voltage 12 V and current 10 A, sealed Lead Acid battery of 7Ah, 24 V high speed DC motor and cutter blades. Various sensors like ultrasonic and temperature sensors and microcontrollers are used for the automatic function of the machine. The paper summarizes all the design parameters, the working principle, design calculations on the basis of the solar radiation data of Guwahati city and also the cost analysis of the designed system.

This study seeks to develop our understanding of the agency involved in construction industry. The goal is to identify the value-oriented reasons for Agencies to utilize specific influence strategies. The study argues that Agencies expectations of project value creation explain the Agencies influence strategies utilized. Social responsibility implementation in construction projects relies on the active involvements by multiple internal and external stakeholders. Stakeholder influences are an important driving force for resolving or alleviating the social and environmental problems in construction activities. The study is to be carried out to evaluate the interrelationship between the agencies like Architectural Agency, Structural Engineer, and Contractors. The goal of the study id to find out the factors influencing the work statics of the stakeholders and affecting their mutual as well as social responsibilities

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic is an unexpected shock to the Indian economy. The economic impact of the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic in India has been largely detrimental. The economic impact of the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic in India has been largely detrimental. The economy was already in a dismal state before the Covid-19 attack. With the protracted freeze across the country, the global economic downturn and the resulting disruption in demand and supply chains, the economy is likely to face a long period of slowdown. The magnitude of the economic impact will depend on the duration and severity of the health crisis, the duration of the blockade and how the situation develops once the blockade is lifted. In this document we describe the state of the Indian economy in the period prior to Covid-19, evaluate the potential impact of the shock on various segments of the economy, and analyze the policies announced so far by the central government and the Reserve Bank of India to improve the economic shock and present a set of policy recommendations for specific sectors.

Soft skills are arguably more challenging to develop, since they have little to do with knowledge or expertise, but are instead closely linked with a person�s character. It requires a commitment to self-development and ongoing practice to improve your soft skills. In comparison, hard skills are more learned, technical and knowledge-based skills that you can develop, for example, through higher education. It goes without saying that these skills are also vital to establishing your success, and work in tandem with your soft skill set.

 Abstract

In today�s growing world, we all know how important education have been and how important the performance have become for getting higher education or and kind of jobs. So for the calculation of performance a human take certain amount of time and yes it do consume time. So here we take certain factors like attendance, marks throughout, practical knowledge, extra skills, etc. So, we can assume time consumption for calculation of these many factors. So, here we have designed a system which would help in calculation of performance and marking attendance in a very easy and convenient method. Also, as we know marking and managing a large data of attendance is challenging as analyzing it and get the analyzed data isn�t easy for human so we used NODEMCU and components to manage the attendance of student and get the analyzed data in short period of time and only mark attendance of the real student who passes the parameters such as on time and the student isn�t marking proxy. It is user-friendly, secure and affordable system.

 Abstract

Blindness is a state of lack of visual perception, which leads to the inability to see anything, including light. Complete blindness is the total absence of light, but partial blindness represents the lack of integration in the growth of the optic nerve or visual center of the eye. In some cases lens, occupied glasses will help to improve partial blindness. Low vision cannot be corrected by visual aids such as glasses and contacts. In those situations, it is too difficult to find or detect obstacles in front of them, which makes it dangerous. They need some aid to feel safe while navigating. Conventional Blind canes are widely used for assistance, but it has too many limitations. Thus the current scenario needs a technologically developed cane. Thus, Smart cane comes as a proposed solution for visually impaired people. In this experimental work, we implanted a simple, economical, and user-friendly smart blind guidance system. This system is designed to improve the mobility of both visually impaired and blind people, and to remove the curse of blindness, to make them self-dependent to do their daily routines. The proposed work includes the design of a lightweight adaptable cane with multiple sensors connected to an Arduino board, along with a handle head and sticks elongator. A conventional white cane forms the main base frame of the device, ultrasonic and infrared sensors are mounted at appropriate locations to detect obstacles and it can scan a predetermined area, both known and unknown locations around blind by emitting-reflecting waves with the help of that blind stick. The equipped sensors send signals to an Arduino programmed board, which communicates with the alarm unit that comprises a buzzer and vibrator and gives some recorded audio clips to navigate the blind people safely. An audio jack is also available in the blind cane whose presence is not found in other conventional canes. The system can also control the peripheral components that alert the user about the obstacle�s shape, material, and direction. The device is lightweight and is been powered by a battery. Thus the system is easy to use and is an innovative reasonably priced solution to blind and visually impaired people. The power consumption is too low, and the stick is economic over the conventional one.

 Abstract

Worldwide, approximately 73% of the population remains uncovered by adequate social protection schemes. This is attributed by the fact that, social protection mechanisms in most low-income countries, to a large extent cover only formal sector workers while overlooking the majority in informal sector. For example, in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, social insurance is limited to those in formal wage employment while social assistance is generally poorly funded and restricted to the urban areas. This paper sought to assess coping strategies towards sustaining income security among elderly worked in informal sector in Dodoma region. The research aimed at studying elderly who worked in informal sector bearing in mind that, workers in informal sector to a large extent are deprived of social and economic rights. The findings have revealed that in the absence of universal social protection mechanisms including universal old age pension, older people are involving in different activities so as to cope with different hardships and earn a living. Indeed, the study has reveled that most of coping mechanisms employed by elderly are non-regulated, uncoordinated and erratic including begging, supports from family network and casual labour. In employing their coping mechanisms elderly are faced with challenges including lack of elderly legislation, community negative perception towards ageism, poor physical health, financial constraints and lack of entrepreneurial skills.

Now this is the age of speed. Everything happens in the speed of supersonic. The data can be transferred at the speed of light in the digital medium, can travel in the supersonic speed, hence there is a need of information inflow in the same speed. Here is one such need of information fast enough. We have experienced in waiting to a transport terminals for transport controllers to get the information about the transport facility. We encounter so many times there will be no person for providing these information which significantly wastes the time just to know whether there is any facility or not. Here is one solution for such a problem which less the human intervention in providing such information in the transport terminals. Voice Based Automated Transport Enquiry System is the enquiry system which operates based on the voice input given by the user. This system too uses the voice commands and gives the required information in the form of voice. This system is can be installed in any transport terminal like Bus stands, Railway terminals or airports.

 Abstract

The roads play a vital role in the development of the country. The quality of the road should be perfect so that the transportation could be safe and luxurious, in actual, there are plenty of roads are not following the requirement. When roads do not match with quality measurement, then it causes the damage. Proper drainage is very concerning part in construction of road. We know that how water in pavement creates major problem in premature pavement failure. To stop or reduce premature pavement failures and to strengthen the road performance, it is imperative to provide adequate drainage. There are different ways by which water could enter the pavement that are water logging on the surface of the road and leading to seepage of water into the payment cause road failure. Water collection in road layer causes the reduction in bearing strength of the road. Presence of water for long time on the road surface results in high maintenance difficulties. The purpose of this study is to illustrates the reason for drainage problem and also to provide proper remedial measures for the pavement road.

Traffic management system is considered as one of the major dimensions of a smart city with the rapid growth of population and urban mobility in metropolitan cities, traffic congestion is often run on roads. To tackle various issues for managing traffic on roads and to help authorities in proper planning, a smart traffic management system using the IOT. A hybrid approach is used to optimize traffic flow on roads and algorithm is deviced to manage various traffic situations efficiently. For this purpose we manage the traffic signals according to the density of traffic on roads. According to the traffic signals in order to control traffic on roads we are implementing tollgates. The signals are managed by using the IR sensors. We use solar panels for continuous power supply. In case an emergency vehicle present in the traffic where the gate is closed this can be managed by using blynk software application. This will be installed in the emergency vehicle and operated by the vehicle driver.

 Abstract

India features a rich tradition of ancient tales and stories. The stories not only amuse but also reflect on the culture that prevailed. Apart from anticipations, escapades, and sentiments, they also discourse ethical principles and philosophy, rich in connotation. From ancient days women are considered to be the weaker sex. However, they had a high status in the scriptures. They are preached as a goddess. They are considered as the perfect homemaker in the cosmos. They are capable to confront any sort of difficulties and easily cover the position. Most of the Indian women are committed to their families. Their condition remains unchanged even during the contemporary world with only minimal changes. Amrita Pritam�s first debut novel Pinjar, later it was translated into English titled The Skeleton by Kushwat Singh and it is filmed in the year 1970. The novel Pinjar, one of the best novels depicts the pathetic situation of women during the partition of India. The protagonist Pooro a young Hindu girl engaged to Ramchand. Later she is abducted by a Muslim man named Rashida. The story portrays the cruelty of India and Pakistan partition, as affected the lives of many people. The paper entitled �The Power of Women: Healing from Trauma� seeks to explore the story of Pooro, even though her life begins with suppression and depression, gradually gains courage and confidence through the other few female characters she encounters. She turned all her negatives into positives. She became the inspiration for the whole villagers. As the men say, let the women be the weaker sex, but they have the power to overcome their traumas by self-healing.

We have attempted to interpret existing n-cov positive data in India with respect to other countries - Italy, USA, China and South Korea. We have mainly zoomed in the exponential growth in a particular zone of time axis, which is well followed in the data profile of India and Italy but not in others. A deviation from exponential growth to Sigmoid function is analyzed in the data profile of China and South Korea. Projecting that pattern to time dependent data of total number and new cases in India, we have drawn three possible Sigmoid functions, which saturate to cases 10^4 , 10^5 , 10^6 . Ongoing data has doubtful signal of those possibilities and future hope is probably in extension of lock-down and additional imposition of interventions.

 Abstract

Expansive soils contain minerals such as smectite clays that are capable of absorbing water. When they absorb water, they increase in volume. The more water they absorb, the more their volume increases. Expansions of ten percent or more are not uncommon. This change in volume can exert enough force on a pavement, building or other structure to cause damage. The road stretch from Nekempte and Gudar road in Ethiopia are having pavement foundation failure, severe rutting and eroded surface and base courses. These kinds of failures are noticed in particular points of road stretch and the causes of failure are examined. Though the soil shows the expansive soil properties and the region shows high rainfall, the foundation of pavement failed to provide good support for the moving vehicles axles. To increase the strength parameters of soil by stabilizing the soil with fly ash and geo polymers. The results are good to provide the replacement of fly ash and geo polymer in the stabilization of expansive soil.
