 Abstract

Interpersonal conflict can significantly reduce employee well-being, job satisfaction, and productivity at work (Spector & jex, 1998). Conflict management is essential for preserving a positive work atmosphere and ensuring the effective delivery of IT services in the fast-paced, high-pressure industry of Information Technology (IT). In order to reduce interpersonal conflict among IT professionals, this study outlines a quick approach to apply Psychological Capital (PsyCap) Interventions within 5 weeks. Objective: In order to minimize interpersonal conflict and psycap within the IT department, the main goal of this study was to develop an expedited program that strengthens the psychological resources of IT staff, such as hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism. To fulfill the objective Interpersonal Conflict at Work Scale by Spector & Jex, 1998, and the Psychological Capital Questionnaire by Luthans, Youssef, & Avolio, 2007 were used. Design: Within the 5 weeks, surveys conducted before and after the intervention assessed changes in PsyCap levels and initial perceptions of interpersonal conflict among IT employees. The study's findings indicated that PCI served as a shield for IT employees and helped to reduce interpersonal conflict. The PCI program can help the organization by fostering a more upbeat, successful, and collaborative work environment.

Abstract: Human beings are understood to be the most intelligent being on earth. They have varying levels of mental capacity. And amongst the varying levels of capacity, IQ (Intelligence Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), SQ (Social Quotient) are most heard about capacities of human beings. These capacities are tested time and again in terms of intelligence quotient tests, emotional quotient tests, social quotient tests, personality tests, achievement tests, aptitude tests and so on. But there is another very important Capacity or Quotient to be considered and tested that is 'Adversity Quotient' of the students. We focus and put a lot of effort for uplifting Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient of an individual. But now it has become crucial to develop Adversity Quotient among the new generations who are vulnerable to adversities of life but fail to face them. There is necessity to focus on Adversity Quotient of students and train and teach them to respond and handle the adversities coming their way. The present paper is knowing more about Adversity Quotient and the ways to develop them and rise above all challenges and overcome adversities of life.

The relationship between childhood trauma, self-regulation, and emotional expressivity is complex and can vary from individual to individual. Traumatic experiences can impair the development of neural circuits involved in emotional regulation, leading to difficulties in managing emotions and exhibiting appropriate expression. Individuals may struggle with intense emotions, poor stress management, and impulsive behaviours. This study aims to explore the association between childhood trauma, self- regulation, and emotional expressivity. It utilized a quantitative research design to collect data from two groups: males and females, from the youth population which involve 110 participants aged between 18 to 30 years. The participants were asked to complete the CTQ, SSRQ, and EES questionnaires in a self-administered online survey. After the responses were collected the total score for each individual was calculated. Then a comparative study is made to see the difference between both the groups and observe who is more affected, males or females.

 Abstract

Though the concept has been taken from R.M.Ballantyne’s one of the first works of juvenile fiction, the story is distinguishable and identical to mythological origin of human beings in the world. With the gradual marching of the action in the novel, it unfolds by degrees the genesis, emergence, judgement and capitulation to the omnipotent God. The belief of genesis is identical to the aeroplane crash, emergence of human beings becomes similar with the survivors who come across each other due to the crash on or near an isolated island in a remote region of the Pacific Ocean. Before genesis or creation, according to mythology, there must be a destruction or chaos and this becomes identical to the aeroplane crash. Further, finding a conch, which implies system and governance, can be linked up with the origination of governed society which was prevailing from the primitive age during the epoch of primitive aboriginal beings. Finally, the appearance of naval officer, whose party has landed to investigate the fire, is synonymous, to some extent, to the capitulation and surrender to God to be guided. His appearance is also identical to Deus ex machina , a device which was prevalent around since the time of Greek theatre. From another perspective the naval officer presents foucauldian disciplinary power which does not rely solely on force, instead it controls the subjects through hierarchical surveillance, normalising judgement and examination.

 Abstract

This article tries to introduce the issues and challenges of the 21st century in India. Things are changing around us very dramatically, very quickly. The world is becoming more interconnected, the environment is becoming less stable, and technology is continuously altering our relationship to information. Changing global conditions demand that we rethink what, but even more important, how and where we learn. We need education for the 21st century. In response to the challenges, we face in the digital age, schools are starting to do education differently. Why restrict lesson times to an hour when half-day sessions allow pupils to delve really deeply into subject material? Many young people have smart phones, so why not allow them to be used as learning aids? Adults learn in the real world, why not let pupils? And, fundamentally, the best teachers are people who love learning, and the best way to make sure that you understand what you are learning is to teach. The schools that are taking this seriously are still in the minority. But across the world there is a growing global movement towards achieving the vision of 21st century education

 Abstract

One of the main reasons for cancer-related fatalities worldwide is lung cancer. Patient survival rates and treatment outcomes are greatly enhanced by early identification. The development of computer-based systems for precise and effective lung cancer detection has advanced significantly thanks to developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning techniques. This research suggests a deep learning-based AI method for the early diagnosis of lung cancer.Convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture is used by the system to automatically analyse medical images, such as computed tomography (CT) scans or chest X-rays, and spot potentially malignant areas. The deep learning algorithm can understand intricate patterns and features indicating malignant tumours because it was trained on a vast dataset of annotated lung cancer photos. The suggested approach includes a number of steps in the detection of lung cancer. The first step in pre-processing medical photographs is to improve their quality and remove noise. The CNN-based model then carries out feature extraction and classification to find questionable areas in the images. The results are then refined in a post-processing stage to produce a final prediction. Extensive tests are run on a wide range of lung cancer imaging datasets to determine the viability of the proposed approach. To evaluate the model's diagnostic accuracy, performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) are generated. The outcomes show the promising potential of deep learning-based AI-based lung cancer diagnosis. The suggested method successfully detects lung cancer with high accuracy and sensitivity, assisting radiologists and clinicians in early identification and decision-making. Additionally, the system's automated nature makes efficient and reliable analysis possible, potentially lowering the workload placed on medical practitioners. Deep learning methods are used in an AI-based method for finding lung cancer. The suggested system exhibits the capacity to enhance early diagnosis and support improved patient outcomes.The proposed framework can be refined and incorporated into clinical practise as AI and deep learning technology continues to evolve, opening the door for more effective lung cancer detection and treatment methods.

 Abstract

The stability of a transient IEEE 9 bus system with regard to voltage maintenance, generators, and the incorporation of distributed energy resources (DER) is examined in this research. The term "transient stability" describes a power system capacity to maintain synchronization in the face of difficult circumstances such a sudden loss of generation or substantial load swings. It is difficult to incorporate renewable energy sources (RES) within the constrained transmission line capacity, which has an impact on generator capacity. The reduction of system inertia caused by RES integration may have an effect on transitory situations. In order to solve this, we built a wind turbine generator (WTG) inside the point of connection (PoC) and tested the stability of transients by adding faults to the bus.

This study investigates how nutrition impacts the physical fitness of women, specifically focusing on mothers with different numbers of children. It explores the dietary habits of women during various stages of motherhood and examines their correlation with physical fitness levels. The research emphasizes the significance of regular physical activity and a balanced diet in promoting overall well-being and to understand how the number of children influences women's nutrition intake, particularly in terms of protein, fat, carbohydrate, and energy consumption. Additionally, it assesses the physical fitness levels of women in different motherhood categories, taking into account heart rate and the Physical Fitness Index (PFI). The findings suggest that an increase in the number of children is associated with a decline in physical fitness levels among mothers. To improve physical fitness, especially for mothers with multiple children, interventions should focus on maintain a nutritious diet and incorporate regular physical activity. The study also highlights that women tend to consume higher levels of protein and fat than recommended, and these nutritional habits vary based on the number of children. Moreover, the study shows that heart rate and PFI scores differ among women with varying experiences of motherhood. Mothers with more children generally exhibit lower physical fitness levels, likely due to the increased demands and responsibilities of motherhood, the research underscores the importance of adopting a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity to enhance the physical fitness of women, particularly those with multiple children. Educating and supporting women in maintaining a healthy lifestyle during motherhood can contribute to their overall well-being and that of their families.
