 Abstract

The present study is focused on the diversity of biotic / plankton components (phytoplankton and zooplankton) and a correlation with water quality parameters. The objectives of this study are 1) Estimation of Physiochemical parameters of different sites. 2) Quantification of Zooplankton and Phytoplankton of different sites. 3) Comparative analysis of biotic (Planktons) and abiotic (Physico-chemical) parameters of different sites. During the study, survey application was done for sampling water and planktons. Analysis of water and identification of planktons was done in the College laboratory with the help of standard methods and Keys & Catalogues respectively. For the analysis of water different parameters like Temperature, pH, Conductivity, DO, CO2, Alkalinity and Hardness were considered. When a relationship between plankton diversity and physico-chemical parameters of water was made, it was found that physical parameter i.e., temperature and chemical parameter i.e., alkalinity had good effect on the quantitative abundance of planktons. Chemical parameters, such as pH and hardness showed negative relation with the growth of planktons.

 Abstract

Social marketing requires coordinated approaches both upstream and downstream. Social marketing campaigns need to be sustained over time to create change at a cultural or societal level. There are many examples of how social marketing campaigns have successfully changed normative attitudes in recent years. A marketing planning approach does not guarantee that the social objectives will be achieved, or that the costs will be acceptable. Yet social marketing appears to represent a bridging mechanism which links the behavioral scientist's knowledge of human behavior with the socially useful implementation of what that knowledge allows.

Vishnugupta also prominently known as Kautilya or Chanakya (c. 350 - 283 B.C.E.), was born in Taxila, Pakisthan, was word renowned polymath from ancient India who worked as a scholar, writer, strategist, philosopher, economist, lawyer, and royal counsellor. He played the vital role in advising Chandragupta during his conquests and his ascend to the throne of Patliputra to lay the foundation of the Maurya Empire. It is astounding to learn that Kautilya in his works Arthashastra, Nitishastra and Chanakya-niti extensively outlined many concepts found in contemporary management theories. The goal of this study is to get understanding from Kautilya's management lessons

 Abstract

The problem of traffic congestion is a phenomenon that has made a huge contribution to the country's transportation system. It creates uncertainty particularly when there are emergency cases at junctions of traffic signals which are often busy with a lot of vehicles. To solve those problems, a traffic light controller system is designed. This system was designed to work while receiving signal from emergency vehicles based on radio frequency (RF) transmission and used the PIC AT89C51 microcontroller to reset the sequence to the normal sequence before activating the emergency mode. This device would mitigate collisions that frequently occur at the intersections of traffic light due to other vehicles needing to huddle to provide a special path to emergency vehicles. As a result, this project has successfully analyzed and implemented wireless communication; the radio frequency (RF) transmission in emergency vehicle traffic light control system. This project's system uses the 434 MHz frequency and works with traffic light sequence mode as emergency vehicles move through an intersection and reset the sequence back to normal sequence before the emergency mode is triggered. This test device can be enhanced in the future by monitoring the real traffic situation, in turn improving existing traffic light system technology.

Abstract In the field of pedagogical practices, two aspects have been studied with great interest. Educators have long been researching how to make classroom delivery effective in the 21st century. In this context, the difference between LCT and TCT has been studied for the long time. Some scholars have emphasized on TCT while many other scholars educators have emphasized on LCT. TCT is a very old and prevalent teaching and learning method. This method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Due to this reason this method is still prevalent today and many classrooms are being used unhindered. But philosophers such as Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Froebel, and Dewy have criticized TCT and advocated for LCT. Now, it is important to be clear about the difference between LCT and TCT. This study also attempts to clarify the differences between the two teaching methods. This article is prepared on the basis of in-depth study of various articles, research reports, books, various levels theses, etc. published in different literatures over the past few years, as well as my own long teaching-learning experience. In the present article, topic such as: learning theories: from teacher-centered to learner-centered; TCT-characteristics; teacher-centered classrooms, teacher-centered pedagogy; LCT-characteristics, learner-centered classrooms, learner-centered pedagogy and comparison and contrast between TCT and LCT have been analyzed and described from the different perspectives.

 Abstract

Popular and conventional discourses conceptualize poverty as an economic condition merely characterized by inadequacy of income to individuals or households. This is in fact a subsistence view of poverty. Recent thought and policy processes have gradually transcended such a mundane and dominantly growth oriented � poverty line - meaning of poverty. Nowadays poverty is a human condition that is more than mere material inadequacy. It is considered to be inadequacy of �capability� and a condition of �disadvantage�. As an inadequacy of capability it is a condition of deprivation that results in making people incapable to fend and obtain their material as well as social entitlements needed for both subsistence and progress. Secondly the approach to poverty as a condition of �disadvantage�, identifies five types of disadvantages namely: �lack of assets� covering material possessions (including resources), �physical weakness� resulting from malnutrition and inadequate health care, �isolation� resulting from information asymmetry � inability to access knowledge, �vulnerability� due to social de facto absence of rights orchestrated structurally by centers of wealth and power and ultimately, �powerlessness�. In sum these modern approaches to the concept of poverty surely appear comprehensive consisting of �entitlements, empowerment, minority rights, protection of plural cultures and human development.� The commonality of both the perspectives is that poverty is not merely economic (material) but also social and political, that is poverty includes material and non-material deprivation. It implies the transition of the poverty concept from a growth perspective to a development perspective. Hence anti poverty policy prescriptions must visualize the condition of poverty and the poor in all the three dimensions and the process chosen and eventually implemented must accommodate all the three sets of challenges.

 Abstract

The partition of Bengal 1905 and its annulment in 1911 was a momentous event in the history of India in general and Bengal in particular. This partition issue awoke the Bengal Muslims to the consciousness of reorienting their political ideas and to rebuild their political organization to meet the changing challenges. After the revolt of 1857 Muslim moved backward in the political arena although Mohammedan Literary Society of Anwar Abdul Latif, Central Mohammedan Literary Society of Sayed Amir Ali and the Aligarh Movement of Sir Sayed Ahmed created some kind of awareness among the Muslims. However, Ulemas of Bengal remained far from all these organizations and associations. The issue of the partition of Bengal approached them towards their future political career.

 Abstract

Ebola virus disease, formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare but severe disease which is often fatal in humans if untreated. Ebola was first identified as a possible new �strain� of the Marburg virus in 1976 which caused two simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara (South Sudan) and the other in Yambuku (DRC). The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) identified Ebola virus as species, Zaire Ebola Virus which belongs to the family Filoviridae. Ebola virus contains a Negative-sense, single stranded RNA and it encodes for seven different proteins including one extrinsic protein, glycoprotein and six different intrinsic proteins, VP24, VP35, VP24, VP40, VP30, Nucleoproteins, L-polymerase. EBOV infection obstructs DC maturation without inducing cytokine expression, leading to impaired T-cell proliferation. Whereas macrophages produce selective proinflammatory cytokines and certain tissue factor which attract additional target cells that in turn induces vasodilation and causes vascular permeability and disseminated intravascular coagulation. There are a few treatment methods which have been proven effective against the Zaire EBOV and some monoclonal antibody-based drugs have also been used. Only one FDA approved vaccine, rVSV ZBOV is available.

 Abstract

Essentially, most of cars use 4 to 5 lug nuts to fix wheels on cars. The traditional way to change a car�s wheel tire is to unscrew the locking lug nuts one by one using a lug wrench. However, sometimes it can be so exhausting and time consuming. In this project our aim is to design and fabrication of four wheel nut removing hand operated tool for tightening and removing of four nuts in one stroke. With the increment of number of car on the road, the number of cars problem due to tyre failure has increased. Often, the car is provided with tyre wheel nuts remover and jack for instance spare tyre replacement. Nevertheless, due to difficulty in applying torque to remove nut and to save a time. We develop tool having a gear planetary mechanism. In our project we are tried to focus on the minimization of human effort for fixing all for nuts of 120mm PCD wheel in one time. The main objective of work is to develop a single tool, which can be made use during assembling and disassembling of wheels in automobiles. It can be successfully used as standard tool irrespective of the model of the vehicle. Also it can be used garages, workshops and service stations. The remover is designed to be ergonomic to be used, easy maintenance, easy storage, easy to handled and able to remove all nuts at once.

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass is a replacement of transportation fuel. Due to high demand of transportation fuels and shortage of commercial fuel, lignocellulosic ethanol is recognized as a viable and unique liquid transportation fuel with environmental friendly option. Agricultural and forestry residue, grasses, corn straw and fast growing woods are used as raw material for lignocellulosic ethanol production. All these are renewable source which gives the edge over fossil fuels and crude oil, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas emission. In this paper, we critically reviewed the biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol.

 Abstract

Romantic Age was the most fertile era for the poetry in English literature , as it deals with the great range of subjects because poets of this age were writing whatever they could imagine and in their own style. Emotions were given the foremost importance for the birth of poetry , for which William Wordsworth, pioneer of romantics, says , �poetry is the over spontaneous flow of the powerful emotions�. This paper deals with the different themes which prevailed in the poetry of romantic poets and describes how romantists made themselves different from the previous age of wit and reasoning.

 Abstract

In the real-time outdoor application of computer vision-based systems, haze removal, a technique that can recover clear images from foggy ones, is necessary for further image processing. Therefore, in this paper, an efficient haze removal method suitable for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) implementation is proposed to obtain high quality fog-free images. Based on the atmosphere scattering model and the dark channel prior method, the atmospheric light of the whole image and the transmission map can be extracted. These are important parameters of the recovery model. Instead of using single global atmospheric light to restore foggy image, local atmospheric light is estimated and applied in the proposed design to achieve optimal results. To ensure that the overall image is consistent without block artefacts, a local atmospheric light is dynamically adjusted based on the global atmospheric light. Additionally, to obtain a transmission map, a refined estimation method is performed to reduce the halo effect. To meet the requirements of real-time applications, six-stage VLSI architecture for the proposed algorithm is implemented.

COVID-19 lockdown under the Decree on Public Administration in Emergency Situation, B.E. 2548 was partially eased from 3 May 2020 to allow public venues including retailers, market, flea markets, floating markets to reopen again with preventative measures imposed, i.e., temperature check for sellers and buyers, social distancing while choosing and paying. Flea markets in this research means any market without any permanent fixture offering fresh produces, goods and services. Flea markets are a part of Thai way of life; they are local and a congregating place of 20,000 � 30,000 consumers with revenue ranging from 600,000 and 10,000,000bht per day per flea market. Flea markets are scattered around Thailand and their market value are significant, however the crowded nature of flea markets is against social distancing guideline imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19; thus, social distancing would render a third of service space in flea markets unusable. In order to concurrently maintain the sales, satisfying consumers� needs and preventing COVID-19, the objective of the research is set to study (1) new normal consumer behavior in flea markets, (2) consumer behavior in deciding to purchase products and services in flea markets during COVID-19 outbreak which is the basis of set marketing mix, and (3) retailer marketing strategy. Primary data and secondary data are collected for this research. Primary data is collected by survey method by asking sample group to complete 400 questionnaires and the information thereof is analysed by descriptive method. The research finds that the majority of questionnaire answers show the new normal consumer behavior in flea markets during COVID-19 outbreak are (1) the majority of consumers wear masks but do not have a temperature check, wash hands every time they visit flea markets, nor do they stay home to prevent COVID-19 spread, and, on top of the aforementioned, there was no social distancing; (2) consumer behavior in deciding to purchase products and services in flea markets reflects the totality of decisions which are (i) whether � yes, (ii) why � nearby and cheap, (iii) when � every time there is a flea market, (iv) where � flea market near home or office, (v) how � paid in cash, (vi) how much - 200 - 500bht/visit, (vii) how often � 2 � 3 time/week, and (viii) how long � 30 � 60minutes/visit; and (3) in relation to retail marketing mix, retail strategy consists of store differentiation and positioning which focuses on benefits in consistent with new normal particularly social distancing and such strategy aligns with retail marketing mix for (i) Distribution (location) and service assortment, (ii) Product assortment: increasing fresh produce, daily items and products for COVID-19 prevention or new normal, (iii) Promotion or Communication using promotion mix to support new normal, increase sales and profits (how much, how, how long), provide pre-purchase and post-purchase services, and (iv) Price: at the same price or at lower price.
