 Abstract

Factor, the ratio between the real or average power and the apparent power forms a very essential parameter in power system. It is indicative of how effectively the real power of the system has been utilized. Hence, there is a continuous need for power factor improvement and reduction of line current harmonics. Development of new circuit topologies and control strategies for Power Factor Correction (PFC) and harmonic reduction has become still more essential with the introduction of strong technical IEC standards. This project aims to develop a circuit for PFC using active filtering approach by implementing two boost converters arranged in parallel. It shall be based on an optimised power sharing strategy to improve the current quality and at the same time reduce the switching losses. The work initially involves simulation of basic power electronic circuits and the analysis of the current and voltage waveforms. It starts with simple circuits with a gradual increase in complexity by inclusion of new components and their subsequent effect on the current and voltage waveforms. We focus on the objective of improving the input current waveform i.e. making it sinusoidal by tuning the circuits. All the simulation work is done in MATLAB Simulink environment and the Power results are attached herewith.

 Abstract

The Indo-Islamic-Persian style was the distinguished and chief characteristic feature of the Mughal architecture which was flourished on the Indian subcontinent during the reign of Mughal Empire (1526�1857). This new style was a result of combination of elements of Islamic art and architecture, which were introduced to India by the Delhi Sultanate (1192�1398) and had produced great monuments such as the Qutub Minar which consist the features of Persian art and architecture. Mughal monuments are found chiefly in north India and many remains can be found in Pakistan too. Rolling vines and flowers, jewels, and crowns in greens, blues, and gold embellish Mughal buildings. The main aim of this paper is to describe the beauty of the Mughal Architecture which enriched the field of architecture in India.

 Abstract

In the ever changing economic scenario globalization, liberalization and privatization policies of the Government, in recent years, have made an ineffaceable impact by bringing into force new economic system in India. Over the centuries system of taxation has been shaped and reshaped to make it acceptable, effective and efficient. The journey of restructuring the tax system has been going on to make it more and more meaningful. Goods and Services Tax (GST) is considered to be a best solution for all these issues and which is expected to bring in tax efficiency, simplicity, transparency and degree of harmonization to the tax base, tax rates as well as tax infrastructure. More than 160 countries around the world have already implemented GST and implementation of GST in India would bring in similarity. Now, implementation of GST has become certain in India and it is a right time to understand it. So this paper tries to throw a light on various aspects of GST and to know its probable impact on Indian economy, India sales tax rate-GST, GDP growth. The data are collected through various Primary and secondary sources like reports of Government, professional bodies, working committees and also from research papers, articles, news, budget sessions etc. As in other countries, the systemic reforms in the tax system in India in the 1990s were the product of crisis but the reforms were calibrated on the basis of comprehensive analysis. Tax reform since 1991 was initiated as a part of the structural reform process, following the economic crisis of 1991.

 Abstract

Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the world. The main ingredient in the conventional concrete is Portland cement. The amount of cement production emits approximately equal amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cement production is consuming significant amount of natural resources. That has brought pressures to reduce cement consumption by the use of supplementary materials. Availability of mineral admixtures marked opening of a new era for designing concrete mix of higher and higher strength. coconut fibre is a admixture, whose potential is not fully utilized The study focuses on the compressive strength performance of the coconut fiber reinforced concrete containing different percentage in a weight basis by 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%.

 Abstract

Most of the world's population today lives in cities. By 2030, the population of the cities around the world is expected to grow from 3.3 billion to 5 billion people. In Israel, about 6 million people live in urban areas. Due to resource constraints, there will be a problem in the future to provide all the services to the residents. To continue to serve and improve the standard of living of the growing population, it is necessary to develop smart cities. The Smart City aims to make optimal and sustainable use of all resources, while maintaining an appropriate balance between social, environmental and economic costs. In the Smart City, maximum use is made of ICT to improve the functioning, management, and supervision of the variety of systems and services, with an emphasis on saving energy, water, land and other natural resources. The main categories that define smart cities include the quality of the environment, energy, water and waste water, transportation and traffic, information and communication systems, quality of life, government, economics, human resources, housing and land use, homeland security, and emergency preparedness. The degree of preparedness of the city for the collapse of the municipal systems, whether as a result of state security or natural disasters, should also be taken into account. In order to manage and promote the issue in Israel, the Smart City Administration was established two a half years ago, at the initiative of the Ministry of Energy. The Administration will have a representative of each government office and each office will have a team to work on the issue. The Administration will determine where resources will be invested and which projects will be promoted.

ABSTRACT: Taxation policies revised every year to provide simplified version of tax structure for every Indian tax payer. In union budget it was decided to give new optional tax system to individual assesses. This paper covers new optional tax system, comparison with old tax structure, relevance of optional tax in the present situation. Objective of this paper includes understanding tax payer�s mindset while approaching optional tax, creating awareness among tax payer about new regime, shortcomings of optional tax and its impact in coming financial year. For this purpose data is collected primarily with the help of questionnaire and various research paper and journals are reviewed to give better analysis. Findings of this paper includes respondents believe that people will follow old tax structure since in new tax regime there is no deductions to avail. However most of respondents agreed that new scheme is better compared to old as it is entirely depends on the level of income and level of investment of respective individual. Overall one can say that if you sideline the few limitations of new tax scheme it is the right step forward of becoming key tax reform in the recent history.

 Abstract

The twin cardinal principles of Gandhian philosophy are truth and non-violence. The ultimate station Gandhi assigns nonviolence stems from two main points. First, if according to the Divine Reality all life is one, then all violence committed towards another is violence towards oneself, towards the collective, whole self, and thus �self�-destructive and counter to the universal law of life, which is love. Second, Gandhi believed that ahimsa is the most powerful force in existence. Ahimsa had himsa been superior to, humankind would long ago have succeeded in destroying itself. The human race certainly could not have progressed as far as it has, even if universal justice remains far off the horizon. From both viewpoints, nonviolence or love is regarded as the highest law of humankind. Peace and harmony is an essential component of human life. Gandhian philosophy is supposed to promote universal human values, peace, harmony and co-existence. India has been a country of universal brotherhood in promoting global peace and also could solve any prevailing problems on the ground of truth and non-violence.

 Abstract

Odisha has been witnessing about seven lakh inter-state migratory workers working in the destination states under the process of liberalisation and industrialisation. Inter-state migration is nothing new, but it has risen as a crucial issue recently after the hasty shutdown of the country. In the current scenario when COVID-19 is declared as epidemic in India, huge exodus at inter-state level is reached at its highest in Odisha with five lakh migrants returning to their parent/original state till June 2020. Huge inter-state migration has been triggering amid lockdown due to the anticipation of job loss, destabilisation of economies and worsened food security, which is overblown in backward state like Odisha, largely dependent on a migrant workforce. Now, the life of migrants is full of insecurity and uncertainty from the perspective of economic, food, employment, psychological, and health factors. It poses key concern for Odisha in various ways such as in terms of employment, policies, economic and health matters. The present paper aimed to find out inter-state migration in Odisha amid epidemic and shutdown and how our state, political leaders, planners and policy makers are concerned and prepared to look at the issue of great bulk of the amorphous informal workforce with gravity amid lockdown and the study is an effort of searching for certain measures to sort-out this issue.

 Abstract

This paper examines the representation of diasporic Arab female writers� experience in the American society. The paper discusses the diasporic identity and consciousness in Arab diasporic fiction in the United States. It also traces the ways in which Arab diasporic women encounter the sense of otherness and multiple forms of exclusion that builds their estrangement in the diaspora. The study draws on several theoretical models such as cultural assimilation and trauma. However the three female characters in the novel reconstruct identity through interaction between old homeland and the new host society and between the eastern culture and the western culture. It reflects how they appear as a hyphenated subjects, depicting the challenge of cultural conflict and the sense of displacement. This paper tries to answer questions like: Are the Arab diasporic female characters able to assimilate and integrate with American culture?, Are they able to compromise between their Arabic traditional cultures of their Homeland with the culture of the host land? and Does American culture affect the behavior of these female Arab Immigrants? The paper exposes the hybridity and diversity of these Arab diasporic female characters. The character Hala desires to be accepted by the American people, experiencing as a consequence, a kind of frustrated assimilation. The conflict between what she experiences in America and what her family wants her to be. Also the paper sheds light on the stereotypes of the Arab immigrants in the American society. It shows how the character Khadija suffers the acculturation and how she couldn�t adjust herself with her American friends and their open sexual relationships which are against her Arabic culture.

The Sentiment Analysis is the process use to determine the semantic orientation of the reviews. There are many algorithms are exists for the sentiment classification. Support vector machines are a specific type of machine learning algorithm used for many statistical learning problems, such as text classification, spam filtering, face and object recognition, handwriting analysis and countless others. Ideas and opinions of peoples are influenced by the opinions of other peoples. Lot of research is going on analysis of reviews given by peoples. Big data is an assortment of large data sets where data is present either in structured or unstructured form. With the advent of social media websites, online user opinions are acquiring more heed of researches because beneficial information about different subjects is available on social media. In this paper we proposed a system which involves collecting data from social network using the Google, Flipkart, Twitter and Facebook API�s. Then, the challenges of big data a resolved using Hadoop through MapReduce framework where the complete data is mapped and reduced to smaller sizable data to ease of handling and finally includes analyzing the collected data and represent the results through graphs.

Today�s security purpose, face recognition system approach is used in biometric systems, face recognition is widely used for security purposes as compared to the other systems that are used in security purposes. Face recognition systems are also easily spoofed and unsafe for our security system because face recognition can be done by the images, video frames. Images or videos of a person can be easily available from social media or the internet and can be easily downloaded. Also, pictures of a person can be captured from some distance. As there are more applications, where face recognition is used, this act of sealing and identifying is becoming more serious as people think. To protect from this kind of scams and spoofing, liveness detection technology has been implemented in our system.

Trade involves the transfer of goods to services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money . A system or network that allows trade is called a market. An early form of trade, barter , saw the direct exchange of goods and services. Barter involves trading things without the use of money. Trade originated with human communication in pre historic times. Trading was the main facility of pre-historic people, who bartered goods and services from each other before the innovation of modern day currency.

 Abstract

The phenomenon of economic development is a composite of several, factors, which may not necessary have economic connotations; The contribution of human resource to economic growth of any country cannot be overemphasized, especially in a country like India which is still reeling under the pressures of its mammoth population and limited capital resource. The Indian economy can well be studied in two distinct sectors, organized and unorganized (informal). The widespread informal sector in the country is a major contributor to its development but at the same time it is plagued by several problems such as no proper service rules, no wage rules and no possibilities of career advancement. Another notable fact is that as many as 94% of total women workers work in the informal sector in India but they have to face gender discrimination which is almost inexistent in formal sector. Besides, their contribution in terms of income generation turns out to be less than their male counterparts, which means almost half of the population, contribute to less than to half the national income. The present paper aims at understanding this lopsided utilization of human capital and its fall outs.
