 Abstract

Indian retailers are now days faced with a multitude of challenges � �now�, �next�, and �beyond�. We are currently in the �now� phase where the most retailers are coping with a complete pause in business. Even food and grocery players and chemists, that deal with essential commodities, although allowed to operate now, are also facing challenges. These challenges include managing consumer demand, ensuring of liquidity, supply chain disruptions, management of store operations to ensure that social distancing and proper hygiene, governance issues, and ensuring the health and safety of employees. While the essentials (personal care, food and beverage, home care) would be the lesser impacted, health and economic concerns would rather reduce consumer confidence and their spending on non-essential goods (apparel, furniture) and high ticket items (consumer electronics, jewellery). In the medium term, or the �next� phase, where the government starting easing restrictions, retailers will need to focus on bouncing back from the current situation. In the long-term �beyond� phase, they also need to focus on transforming to succeed in a new business landscape. The challenges would be seen as to cater to consumers via their preferred channels and to build business resiliency to operate with smoothly during any future crises.

To keep our bank account details, emails, social media accounts, personal data secure we need a password. The password system plays an important role in keeping the data safe. Protecting the password from the hackers or unauthorized users is the main challenging task. Most of the existing password systems are exposed; they may lead to the chances of hacking. The simple and common way that the hacker can guess the password is by looking over the users shoulder. In this hacker is going to watch the users shoulder when the user enters the password, this leads to the result of shoulder surfing attack. Since to avoid that attack we mentioned here a chromatic password system, it is a novel or new method, which avoids the shoulder surfing attack.

Drug abuse is some form or other is a universal phenomenon. India is also not an exception. The traditional drugs of abuse in India have been herbal Cannabis and Opium which were available in restricted quantities from licensed shop till recently. As long as drug addiction was confined to certain types of individuals and the problem was managed by the informal mechanism of social control. But the situation has changed dramatically in last two decades because of the steady increase in the clandestine demands for hard drugs like Heroin and Concentrated Cannabis in the affluent Western Countries which have led to the development of illicit conversion of opium into Heroin in the clandestine laboratories in �Golden Triangle� and �Golden Crescent�. Various conventions were held being The Hague Convention Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 1988 held only with the objectives to combat with the problem of drug abuse in the world and to suggest necessary measures and guidelines to control the same but still the results which were expected in international sphere have not come and drug trafficking problem is still going on which has caused great loss to the public particularly the youth.

 Abstract

Traditionally, data analysis was trial and error-based, an approach that becomes impossible when data sets are large and heterogeneous. Machine Learning being a part of data science provides quick-witted substitutes for exploring enormous mass of data. By growing rapid and well organized algorithms and data-driven models for actual-time processing of data. The purpose of institutions is to provide golden opportunities to their students. Linear Regression, a tool of supervised machine learning can contribute its features to serve this purpose. It is an effective method helping in predicting future trend of student placement based on advance placement practice test marks. The result obtained from this will help the students to better understand their weak areas to work upon. Working on these areas will let students achieve higher number of placements in an institution.

 Abstract

Multiplication is the basic arithmetic operation. In DSP (digital signal processing) a lot of arithmetic operations require the use of multiplications. The performance of 3D computer graphics, gaming, Embedded systems, DSP etc, are particularly depends on the performance of multiplication steps. Multipliers have more area, long latency and consume high amount of power. Critical factors in the design of multipliers are chip area and speed of multiplication and require less hardware. Scaling of technology node increases power-density more than expected. This paper is focused on Multi Precision (MP) reconfigurable multiplier combined with various precision methods, parallel processing (PP), razor-based dynamic voltage scaling (DVS), and MP operands scheduling to give optimum level of performance for various operating conditions. Adapting to the run-time workload of the targeted application, razor flip-flops combine with a dithering voltage unit, because of this the multiplier is able to achieve the lowest power consumption. Use of single switch dithering voltage unit and razor flip-flops help to minimize the safety margins in voltage and overhead in DVS. The more amount of silicon area and power requirements are reduced because of reconfigurable structures. In this paper we design the multiplier in three ways and compare their performance. We can obtain the efficiency and also achieve silicon area reduction in the range of 11.1% by using AIMS 0.35 technology. Using ModelSim6.3 software we can design the multiplier structure and Xilinx synthesis Tool is used for power and area analysis.

The present review showed the Indian and international synonyms of Citrus sinensis, origin of oranges, taxonomical description, phytoconstituents, pharmacological profile, nutritive value of Citrus sinensis, commercial production and uses, nutrient composition of sweet orange, commercial importance of Citrus sinensis. Sweet orange is a small evergreen tree 7.5 m high and in some cases up to 15 m. Citrus sinensis is from Rutaceae family. Plants of Rutaceae are herbs, shrubs and trees with glandular punctate, commonly strongly smelling herbage comprising about 150 genera and 1,500 species. These are further characterized by the common occurrence of winged petioles and spines. Orange�s genus is Citrus and its species is sinensis. Probably Oranges are originated from South East Asia, and were cultivated in China 2500 BC. It is scientifically proven that oranges being rich in vitamins and minerals have many health benefits. Moreover, it is appreciated that other biologically active, non-nutrient compound found in Citrus fruits such as phytochemical antioxidant, soluble and insoluble dietary fibers are known to be helpful in reducing the risk of cancers, many chronic diseases like arthritis, obesity and coronary heart diseases. In the last few years, on the industrial wastes an increased attention has been focused, especially those containing residual phenols from the used plant raw material. Orange peels are one of the important dietary sources of antioxidant phenolic. 1.5% essential oil is present in the orange fruit. D-limonene (90%), citral, sinesal, n-nonanal, n-decanal, n-dodecanal, geranyl acetate, anthranil acid, citronellal, linalyl acetate, methyl ester are present. Citrus sinensis is effective in the management of arthritis, asthma, Alzheimer�s disease, Parkinson�s disease, macular degeneration, diabetes mellitus, gallstones, multiple sclerosis, cholera, gingivitis, optional lung function, cataracts, ulcerative colitis, crohn�s disease. 12.5% of the daily need for fiber is provided by a single orange. Orange (Citrus sinensis) is one of the world�s major fruit crops with global availability and popularity in human diets. The largest producer of orange juice in the world is Brazil, followed by the U.S.A., India, China and Spain. Citrus sinensis has a world production of 49.6 million metric tons for the year 2016-2017.

 Abstract

Disease Outbreak Monitoring System (DOMS) is a real-time epidemic outbreak monitoring system. It can track various disease outbreaks by collecting health status of people. An android application is used for collecting the data. A location-based representation is also provided about the outbreaks. According to the data collected from all people from different locations, it can create a relation with the dataset in the server. The dataset contains previously observed values. If a location is affected by an outbreak of a disease, the proposed application will enquire more about the detailed health status of the people in that location. If the symptoms do not match with any disease in the database, then it will be a new or a not popular disease which need to be seriously considered. If the disease is already covered in the dataset then required actions are taken according to the severity of the disease. If a person is planning a trip to a particular location, the application will provide advise according to his/her health status and the condition of the location.

 Abstract

Background: National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (Nimhans) conducted a study on the growing number of suicides in India among school and college-going students. The study revealed that about 11 percent of college students and about 7 to 8 percent of high school students have attempted suicide. The survey comprised 1,500 school and college students. In an earlier study, it was found that 20 percent of the children had subclinical depression (meaning they are almost depressed) and about 30 percent had mild to moderate depression. Here, about 800 students took part in the survey. A couple of years ago, it was reported that depression and stress were taking a toll on the students in the premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). An IIT Council meet was also held in Delhi to look at the rising number of suicides among the students. Recently stress during medical training is increasingly being reported in published literature. Previous studies have shown fairly high level of distress, such as symptoms of depression and even suicide thought among medical undergraduates. The potential negative effects of emotional distress on medical students include impairment of functioning in classroom performance and clinical practices, stress include disorders and deteriorating performance. Perceived medical stress has also been linked to current mental distress and to forthcoming health problems. However, there is very little information about the effect of stress on academic performance during medical training. In addition to stress the student�s social emotional and physical as well as family problems may influence their learning ability and academic performance. Higher level of stress may have a negative impact on the students learning ability. Excessive stress may result in mental and physical problems and May diminished a student�s a sense of worth and might affect his or her academic achievement. Earlier studies have classified stressors into three main categories: Academic pressures, social issues, financial problems. Studies from developing countries like Thailand, India, Malaysia and even Pakistan have reported stress among medical students and have also underscored the role of academic as potential stressors. But these studies either did not use the perceived stress scale or did not study the correlation between stress and academic performance. Studies have reported that academic constraints and also factors like age, gender, ethnicity and marital status may also influence student�s severity of stress and hence academic performance. In recent years there is a growing appreciation of the stresses involved in nursing training. It is important for nursing educators to know the prevalence of psychological distress and psychological wellbeing among nursing students. The present study aimed to access perceived stress in the undergraduate students studying in a nursing college located in North India. Subjects and Methods: Setting: The study was conducted at selected colleges of the Pune city. The study sample comprised 100 nursing students who failed in the University Examination, Likert scale was used to assess the mental stress and coping strategies used by the nursing students Results: Majority 85% of nursing students had Moderate mental stress (56-88), 12.5% of them had severe mental stress score (88-120) Conclusion: It is clear from the results of this study that student nurses are exposed to moderate amount of stress. Effectively managing stress is a priority for failure student nurses. There are unique interpersonal and environmental stressors for student nurses. Stressors specific to nursing college students can be addressed by educational administrators

 Abstract

Sudden malaria outbreak in Tripura's border villages during the year of 2019. The state is co-endemic for both Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax and transmission is perennial and persistent.Altogether10 larval habitats from Agartala city were selected for ecological study, 6 from drains and 4 were stagnant water. Physico-chemical parameters of the larval habitats such as temperature, pH, Dissolved oxygen and free carbon-dioxide content of the water were taken into account. The life-history of Anopheles sp. was studied. Experimental trial on controlling mosquito larvae has been conducted using Argimone Mexicana. Drain water bodies are favoured more by mosquitoes for breeding. Findings confirm that low DO and high Co2 content favoured existence of larvae. From egg to the emergence of adult need 25days at 22.3o to 28.7o c and 74% mean RH in laboratory condition. Sex ratio (M : F) at emergence is 89:100.Plant extract of Argimone found in Tripura have insecticidal potentialities against Anopheles larvae.
