 Abstract

Diasporic writers peregrinate their native culture to the other parts of the world through their works and build a bridge between their homeland and new abode. Decade back diasporic literature is dominated by nostalgic emotions of homelessness people but now it presents a different and positive picture of people who adapt new change easily. They are successful in establishing a relation between two cultures by negotiating with the new cultural space. The sense of homelessness and genuine pain with which every immigrant suffers from2 has been minimized through various platforms of social networking. Diasporic writers use fiction because it provides them an ample space to portray their fictional characters in new land facing the different problems in different situations. Chitra Divakaruni, through her strong narratives, grasps the crucial moments of life and portrays such dynamic character that exhibits the true culture of her home land. Divakaruni wonderfully projects the generic qualities of the spices and herbs and merges it with the fictional elements that serve the purpose of the narrative. The Mistress of Spices works as a channel to broadcast the precious value of Indian spices and herbs and its healing properties to the world. Divakaruni beautifully blends Indian spices and herbs in the story of The Mistress of Spices and tries to globalize the significance of this ancient therapy method of Ayurveda which is deeply associated with Indian culture.

 Abstract

E-tailing is one of the fastest growing industries in India. Even the brick and mortar retailers are also showing keen interest in ensuring their presence in this online market space as a part of their omni-channel strategy to reach out to their customers. The COVID-19 pandemic induced restrictions on movement of people accelerate the pace of growth of the e-tailing in India. Given this scenario, there is an intense competition among the players to capture the patronization of a large chunk customers on consistent basis. Therefore, connecting with customers at emotional level is imperative to win over the good will and loyalty of the customers. This is the ultimate antidote against travails of intense rivalry that one witnesses in Indian e-tailing. ORS is once such construct through which an e-tailer can understand that to what extent and at what level it connects with customers emotionally. This insight will help an e-tailer to change their strategies to have a better relationship with its customers. The research explores the impact of ORS on CBBE of market leaders, amazon.in and flipkart.com as CBBE is positively connected with loyalty. It also shows that how these market leaders perform on ORS. At the end of this paper, the researcher gives many suggestions to e-tailers to improve their ORS.

 Abstract

Advancement in human lifestyle due to science and technology causes contamination of environment. Heavy metals are one of such pollutants that may come from both natural and human activity and could be a serious problem/threat because of their toxicity, long persistence, and bioaccumulation and bio magnification of metals in the food chain. This is a study of determination the level of heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd in surface water, soil sediments and whole soft body tissues of bivalve species Lamellidens corrianus, Lamellidens marginalis, and Parreysia cylindrica inhabiting in Nandur-Madhmeshwar reservoir of Nashik district during summer, monsoon and winter seasons. The bioaccumulation results revealed that mean values of concentrations of heavy metals in whole body tissues, metal body burden and BWAF and BSAF in dry soft body tissues of three bivalve species Lamellidens corrianus, Lamellidens marginalis, and Parreysia cylindrical collected from Nandur-Madhmeshwar reservoir of Nashik district. This result indicates that Lamellidens marginalis have greater potential for copper bioaccumulation, and Lamellidens corrianus for lead bioaccumulation, while Parreysia cylindrica have greater potential for cadmium and zinc bioaccumulation. Therefore, Lamellidens marginalis is proposed as sentinel animal for monitoring for copper, Lamellidens corrianus for lead while Parreysia cylindrica for cadmium and zinc in the studied fresh water reservoir.

Abstract, Neuroeconomics is the emerging segment of neuroscience, examine the role of human cognition in economic decision making. It is an interdisciplinary approach of arts and science involving behavioral economics, neuroscience and reinforcement and learning theories. Psychology and economics are complementary disciplines, in various cases studying the similar phenomena: decision making, value-based judgment, and heuristics. Neuroeconomics mechanism combines the disciplines of neuroscience, psychology, and economics in to models of decision making, rewards, risks, and uncertainties. Neuroscience research applied in neuroeconomics, can put in the picture the learning of financial decisions. Application of neuro imaging tools helps to unlock the black box of human nature to understand the decision behavior. This paper tries to make a conceptual framework on decision making behavior of a business in the aspect of neuroscience.

 Abstract

Nowadays, most cases for verification are done using biometrics, but certain alternatives still use physical signatures such as Banks and Document signing. In this paper, we compare signatures and verify whether the given signature matches with the original signature or is a forgery. This is done using Artificial Neural Networks, which is a part of artificial intelligence and has brought in a lot of solutions to real world complex problems that need extensive study and research for arriving at a solution which is difficult to do so with the help of standard conventional techniques that does not make use of sophisticated algorithms. Convolutional Siamese Network, which is one part of the Artificial Neural Network, is the technique used here for signature verification. We will see how this is done by first understanding what a Siamese network is and then explaining about the various steps involved in the signature verification process such as uploading dataset, pre-processing, training, testing and finally the implementation part which tells us if the signature is authentic or forged.

 Abstract

Improving the overall performance of MEMS devices is one of the key necessities. Energy harvester output comes accurate if the material chosen has mechanical properties to fulfill requirements. During analysis of devices on simulation tools input parameters include Young`s modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus which are mechanical constants utilized. Hence, material selection based on mechanical, electrical and chemical properties is necessary. Fabrication flow is highly dependent on material selection as well as properties for material to respond to temperature, pressure, stress, strain, and performance after going through fatigue. This paper discusses material selection based on mechanical properties and fabrication flow for the same material.

 Abstract

Over the past two decades, the international community has made significant progress in saving the lives of six-year-olds. However, these advances have failed to help all children grow up, especially children with disabilities. Much research on early childhood development focuses on the impact of biological and psychological factors on brain development and the effect of early intervention on a child's development. However, research tends to exclude children with disabilities, so very little information is available on interventions and that work in this high-risk group. This article will attempt to provide an overview of the child's development and developmental disabilities. It will also highlight family-based interventions aimed at providing positive promotion of development in a safe, sustainable and caring environment. It focuses on making a case for improving the opportunities for children with developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and potential, including interventions that include early childhood development. Finally, it will strive to encourage the international research community to use a systematic approach to implementing early intervention strategies for children with developmental disabilities in low-income areas.

 Abstract

Modern Odisha, known from the very ancient times in the nomenclatures of Kalinga, Odra, Toshali and Utkal, because of her physiographical identity, has evolved a distinct and systematic pattern of religious life, art, language, literature and painting of its own over the time. The civilisational trends gave her inhabitants individuality and a unique identity out of which grew up a culture representing a strange mixture of the Aryans and the Dravidians. All along Odisha had maintained her overseas trade and commercial relations with the South and South East Asian countries due solely to her great Sadhavas of the past. She was able to maintain her political identity despite the invasions and inroads made by many alien aggressors. Considered as a repository of religious specimens, Odisha developed hundreds of religious centres to her great credit in the hands of ruling dynasties who played a very conspicuous role in developing the centres for Jainism, Buddhism, Saivism, Saktism, Vaishnavism. They stand today as a symbol of the socio-cultural and economic progress and prosperity of the land of Odisha. Vaishnavism and vaishnav centres in Odisha play an important role in the canvas of tourism as economic booster as well as the socio-economic management of the people .This research article has been developed keeping in view of some primary objectives. The foremost objective is to explore an unexplored vaishnava centres in the land of Odisha. Secondly to discuss the socio-religious mind set of the people pertaining the vaishnav gospels. Third one deal with the role of vaishnava centres in the tourism map of Odisha in particular and India in general. Besides how the vaishnava centres caters the tourists of national, international, regional, intraregional, where employment generation is the thrust area of discussion.
