 Abstract

Water as a natural resource has a multi-dimensional approach. It is not limited to the hydrological cycle, but it can be extended to other aspects like qualitative, environmental, and socio-economic dimensions. One of the most important dimensions is the socio-economics dimension which both influence and influenced by the irrigation sector of a nation. Irrigation is the most important aspect of water resources as it derives human settlement in the world. Irrigation has a significant impact on agricultural output in India and agriculture plays a main role in India's Economy as the share of agriculture and allied sector to GDP is 18% out of which 11.8% is from crop production. With this background, the objective of this paper is to draw eyes to e economic history of irrigation development in Odisha. This paper found from the different studies that in the pre-independence period there was little development in irrigation in Odisha started during the British period. Gradually irrigation development starts after independence with the foundation of the Hirakud Dam. But surprisingly the rate of groundwater irrigation is rising very high. Recently the net irrigated area has fallen then earlier. The demands for irrigation water in the state are in alarming stage for the coming years. At the same time expenditure on irrigation, and development has increased, but the share in the total budget has fallen through the planning period. For this cause, this paper suggests more development of watershed management programs and decentralization of different programs for successful achievements.

 Abstract

Amitav Ghosh's literary oeuvre is characterised by a scrupulously researched quality that evokes a sense of verisimilitude akin to that of a lengthy documentary that has been transformed into a narrative work of fiction. Ghosh does not purport to offer a historically accurate account, but rather he endeavours to recount the stories of those events and episodes from history that have been either overlooked, neglected, or sparsely documented. By situating his fictional works within specific historical frameworks, Ghosh brings to life these seemingly "minor" events and episodes, thus presenting an alternative interpretation of historical facts through his literary craftsmanship. Ghosh's fictional narratives serve as a means of reconstructing history by retrieving and reclaiming such "minor" events and episodes. His seminal works, including The Shadow Lines (1988), The Glass Palace (2000), The Hungry Tide (2004), as well as the recent novels comprising the Ibis trilogy, are all examples of such fictional narratives that seek to extricate and retrieve forgotten, vanished, and effaced episodes and events from the annals of official history.

 Abstract

Introduction: Monkey pox is a zoonotic ortho pox virus that incidentally causes disease in humans similar to smallpox, although with notably lower mortality. Education of patients and healthcare workers in regions where the monkey pox virus is endemic is of the utmost importance .Improving patient recognition of this disease, reporting fidelity, and access to diagnostic capabilities are critical actions for collecting the data necessary to gain a deeper understanding of and strengthen defense against monkey pox. Nurses have a key role in responding to the monkey pox outbreak by delivering health education on prevention and infection control .The nursing students must possess a sound knowledge of monkey pox in order to make them identify, diagnose the patients with monkey pox and provide them proper medical care. Materials and Methods: Non experimental descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted among 200 nursing students in selected nursing colleges, Kollam. In order to assess the knowledge of nursing students regarding monkey pox, non- probability cohort sampling technique was used. The tool used for the data collection consisted of demographic proforma and structured knowledge questionnaire. The analysis of the data was based on the objectives of the study using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The findings of the present study revealed that 52% had adequate knowledge, 47% had moderate knowledge and 1% had inadequate knowledge regarding Monkey pox and also revealed that there was no association between knowledge and the demographic variables, such as age, family income and source of information and there was association between knowledge and demographic variable 'gender''. Conclusion: The monkey pox epidemic, like any other pandemic and endemic, puts pressure on nurses working on the frontlines of care with infected patients. The study finding revealed the importance in providing knowledge regarding Monkey pox among nursing student . More than 50%of the nursing students are having adequate knowledge regarding Monkey pox

 Abstract

Generally, each country has its trade law other than international trade law. Therefore, international trade is a process between at least two countries. This diversity requires common languages and unity of practice between different countries. The ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) has been working on standard trade terms since 1919. In 1936, the first edition of Incoterms was published and revised many times. Generally, Incoterms have been set up for delivery in the international sales contract. These are widely accepted and describe the condition of the parties (buyer and Seller). National law or international treaty governs contracts of sale, for instance, the Convention on Contracts for the international sale of Goods (CISG). Therefore, those who deal with international trade prefer to use global standard terms instead of one party's national law, which may be the verdict in favor of their citizen. Therefore, Incoterms are applicable both in international and national contracts. This paper examines the Importance of Incoterms and CISG in International Commercial Contracts.

 Abstract

Education is considered the most powerful social element for the betterment of the quality of life of people and also for the sustainable development of society and the growth of a country. United nation millennium development goals (MDGs), United nation sustainable development goals (SDGs), National education policy (NEP 1986, 1992, 2020) etc. all included education as a prerequisite for the betterment and balanced development of the nation. But in the Indian scenario, there have been observed inequalities among states, districts, blocks and even within village communities, which is a great concern for promoting national development. Keeping in mind the above facts, the present study has been focused on the spatio-temporal analysis of educational facilities among fifty-four blocks under the undivided Medinipur district, West Bengal, for the two census years 2001 and 2011 respectively. The study tried to compute inequalities in educational facilities using a composite educational index on the basis of twelve selected indicators, following Deprivation index method. The study found that western blocks are very deprived in comparing to eastern blocks regarding educational facilities for the year 2001, whereas, in 2011 western blocks improved a little but eastern blocks shows inadequacy in the available educational infrastructure in comparing to the rapid population growth in the same period of time. The study argued for necessary government policy by local institutions for improvement of the educational facilities of deprived pockets within the district.

 Abstract

Private participation in generating power is being encouraged in the country in order to meet high power requirement. As a result, many independent power producers (IPP) are establishing pit head thermal power stations. Many a times, the IPPs have to execute a contract with the state electricity board, under whose jurisdiction the location of the generating plant comes up lies, that a certain percentage of the installed capacity of the plant shall be supplied to the state grid and the balance power can be supplied to others. In such cases, there is a requirement for precisely controlled power flow over a transmission line between the IPP's generating station and the state grid substation at which the contracted power is to be delivered and provision for evacuating the balance power to nearby state grid substation. In a case where the installed capacity of the IPP is 500 MW, 300MW of power shall be supplied to the state grid whenever the generation is more than 300MW and full generated power if the generation is less than 300 MW. To achieve this control of power flow is essential. Hence it is required to select best conductor is required in order to reduce transmission losses and selection of percentage of compensation required to achieve control over the power flow in an AC transmission line. In this paper performance analysis is carried out in order to select best transmission line conductor amongst various conductors available and also percentage line compensation required to reduce reactive power flow and to control voltage and current in an AC transmission line.

Abstract: Transferring data to cloud platforms like AWS has gained momentum, particularly in the Banking and Finance sectors of the digital age. While offering advantages, this migration also carries significant data safety and regulatory concerns. This paper investigates the difficulties in ensuring data protection and adherence to regulations while migrating banking and finance organizations to the AWS Cloud. By methodically examining the legal and regulatory framework, we discovered that it encompasses Title V, PCI DSS, GDPR, and the CCPA. This framework investigates the relevant laws and guidelines covering industry participants, including S.E.C. Rule 17-a-4(f), Reg-S.C.I., EU Data Protection Directives, FedRAMPs, FIPS 140-2, and NIST-800-171. And thereby, a detailed inquiry brings to complicated web of laws and vulnerabilities. Navigating this terrain requires a suite of tactics based on the collective wisdom of industry experts, AWS best practices, and triumphant real-world examples. This publication offers essential support for companies undergoing cloud migration in the banking and finance industry, shedding light on their challenges and providing actionable recommendations to ensure compliance and robust data protection. These insights might help shape the legislation that aligns with cloud services' compliance requirements.

 Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of exchange rate and crude oil prices on Nigeria's inflation, while also examining the role of money supply and deposit interest rate as control variables. Using an ARDL model and data spanning from 2010 to 2023, the results indicate a significant positive relationship between lagged inflation and current inflation, suggesting the presence of inflation persistence. Moreover, the study finds a significant positive impact of exchange rate and a significant negative impact of crude oil prices on inflation. The inclusion of money supply and deposit interest rate as control variables further highlights the significant negative impact of deposit interest rate on inflation, while money supply shows a negative but insignificant impact. These findings have important policy implications, including the need for increased efforts to stabilize the exchange rate and the importance of diversifying the economy away from crude oil. Additionally, the findings suggest the importance of monetary policy measures, such as adjusting interest rates, in managing inflation in Nigeria.

India has a long and varied history of implementing educational policies at the local, state, and national levels. The nation's educational system has undergone several modifications and improvements throughout the years with the goal of ensuring that all of its residents have access to high-quality education. In this regard, The National Education Policy 2020 in India suggests that by the year 2030, every child aged 3-6 in the country should have access to high-quality early care and education. This study examines the socio-economic disparities in education access using the 75th wave of National Statistical Office data (2021-22). Additionally, we look at the particular contributions that households' socio-economic standing and level of education make to the explanation of these disparities. We find significant regional (rural/urban) and socio-economic disparities in education access in India, with girls and children from historically oppressed social groups (scheduled castes and scheduled tribes) being less likely to attend early childhood education, especially in rural areas. We find that adjustments for home economic situation and household head's educational level can substantially reduce the rural-urban gap in access to pre-primary education. Inequalities in gender and socio-economic status are also seen in the household investment in early education. These findings emphasise the need for legislative initiatives and pledges to be made in order to lower obstacles to pre-primary school access for children living in underprivileged circumstances in India.

A automated online test entryway is an electronic assessment framework where assessments are given on the web. It permits understudies to take tests from anyplace and whenever, as long as they have a web association. Mechanized web-based test gateways can be utilized for different purposes like placement tests, enlistment tests, and certificate tests. Computerized web-based test entries are intended to be easy to understand and simple to utilize. They are outfitted with highlights like computerized evaluating, moment criticism, and itemized reports. Mechanized evaluating guarantees that the reviewing system is fair and unprejudiced. Moment input assists understudies with grasping their assets and shortcomings, while definite reports give experiences into their presentation. Mechanized internet based test entryways are likewise gainful for instructive organizations as they assist with saving time and assets. They dispose of the requirement for paper-based tests, which can be tedious and costly. Mechanized web-based test entryways additionally decrease the gamble of cheating as they can be intended to keep understudies from getting to outside assets during the test. In any case, there are a few difficulties related with mechanized web-based test gateways. One of the fundamental difficulties is guaranteeing the security of the framework. Robotized online test entrances can be powerless against hacking and other security dangers.
