 Abstract

After the decision of withdrawal of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes from the economy by the Indian government it was noticed that the decision has impacted the general mass heavily and in various ways. There are various factors which were impacted during and after demonetisation. It became very important to learn that on which factor there was the major impact of such a decision. The study focused on the factors namely real estate, gold rates, stock exchange, eradication of black money and illegal activities, reduction in the level of corruption, use of electronic medium for making payments which were impacted. In order to assess which factor impacted the most, mean value of each factor was computed and each factor was ranked according to the degree to which it was impacted. We found that due to demonetization, electronic modes of payment were accepted more to fight with the situation and to fulfil their daily routine requirement of short term cash and capital, reduction in corruption and illegal activities being the last making it an area of concern for all. In addition to this chi-square test was also done to check the association between the demographic profile and the level of impact on demonetization.

Abstract : Kinetic investigation of oxidative degradation of Erythrosine B (EB) a xanthene dye by chloramine - T (CAT) in acid medium was studied spectrophotometrically. The effect of variation of concentrations of the dye EB, oxidant CAT and HCl was studied at 298K. The reaction shows first order dependance on the both dye EB and the oxidant CAT. At the same time the reaction shows fractional order dependance on [H+]. Halide ions, NaClO4 and PTS shown negligible effect on rate of the reaction. The impact of variation of temperature on the rate of reaction was studied and various activation parameters were computed accordingly. The effect of dielectric constant on the rate was also investigated. A rate equation was derived and a plausible mechanism for the oxidation of EB dye by CAT was deduced.

Abstract: Instant gratification is one of the most appealing aspect of buying something. The feeling of euphoria on shopping a product is intensified by the advent of e-shopping, as whenever a customer feels an inclination or compulsion to buy can be capitalized by making use of the technology such as smartphones, tables and personal computers, through which the e-tail stores can be accessed anytime and anywhere, the resulting products will reach the customer without any physical exertion and the pain of visiting the retail store which also incurs auxiliary expenses like fuel, parking etc., Apart from satisfying the basic needs, it is suggested by various researches that, feelings and emotions of a customer plays a major role in buying decision. An e-tailer monetizes on these impulsive urges of a customer greatly by applying some clever promotional techniques to garner profits and business retention in the market. This paper attempts to study the triggering factors that induce a customer to indulge in impulsive e-shopping and analyze the consequences faced by them post their compulsive purchase. 100 samples have been collected from the compulsive e-shoppers in the Coimbatory city, in which appropriate statistical tools are used and an attempt if made to communicate the findings of the research to current and prospective e-shoppers and the suggestions will help the e-tailers to understand the plight of the customers and to apply their ethical business sense more than just profit orientation towards e-tailing.

 Abstract

The slide in oil prices will boost growth in many economies.While manufacturing industry benefits from lower input prices, private households gain in purchasing power. In the emerging markets the impact of the oil price collapse varies widely. Simultaneously, falling interest rates create scope for monetary policies to stimulate the economy. India, Indonesia and other countries have used low oil prices to slash energy subsidies. The money saved can be channeled into investment programs. This study was conducted in order to find out the impact of oil price on importer and exporter and also the future prospect for the countries.

 Abstract

Metals including copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, etc can cause significant damage to the environment & human health as a result of their mobilities and solubilities. Pytoremediation process is best and prudent technique than the other physical, thermal and chemical methodologies. This technology involves efficient use of aquatic plants to remove, detoxify or immobilize heavy metals. Phytoremediation is a technology to clean the environment from heavy metals contamination & various toxins. The objectives of this study are to treat copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) contaminated wastewater by using phytoremediation technology and to determine the appropriate proportion of the both plants i.e. Water Hyacinth & Pistia Stratiotes to be a good accumulator. The results from the present study shows that Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) has a very high accumulation capacity for copper (Cu) & also other physiochemical parameters (pH, T.S.S, T.D.S, & C.O.D) were removed efficiently from industrial wastewater. Pistia Stratiotes removes great amount of Zinc (Zn) compared to Water Hyacinth. Therefore, the treatment of subsurface flow constructed wetland system can be recommended for the small scale treatment facility for removal of heavy metals from various industrial effluents as an prudent, non disruptive & eco-friendly low cost treatment system.

This study has been undertaken to investigate the determinants of stock returns in Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) using two assets pricing models the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model and Arbitrage Pricing Theory model. To test the CAPM market return is used and macroeconomic variables are used to test the APT. The macroeconomic variables include inflation, oil prices, interest rate and exchange rate. For the very purpose monthly time series data has been arranged from Jan 2010 to Dec 2014. The analytical framework contains.

 Abstract

Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is a unique tool in the hand of researchers who can use it for both theory testing and theory building. It has thus gained popularity as the preferred method in many studies, especially in studies related to consumer choice. The current paper discusses some of the important areas where this technique has been successfully used in consumer choice studies. It also discusses some of the technical issues related to proper use and interpretation of this technique.

 Abstract

Abstract The role of civil aviation sector of a nation as a facilitator of social, economic, and cultural exchanges needs no exaggeration. Civil aviation plays a central role in the world trade. It acts as a catalyst to the tourism industry. It aids in the generation of employment directly and indirectly. As such, it contributes considerably to the economic growth of a country. In the last two and half decades, the Indian aviation industry has evolved from being highly regulated to a more market-driven sector because of liberalised aviation policies. In this background, the core objectives of the study are (a) To throw light on the current position of the civil aviation sector of India; and (b) To portray the future road-map of Indian civil aviation sector. The study is based on secondary data which have been obtained from different sources like journals, magazines, newspapers, reports, web resources etc. It is evident from the study that Air Passenger Traffic (APT) in India, both domestic and international, registered a positive growth from 2013-14 to 2016-17. During the period between 2006-07 and 2016-17 the capacity, measured in terms of available seat kilometre (ASK), in the domestic market recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.58%. At the same period, the demand, measured in terms of revenue passenger kilometre (RPK), witnessed a CAGR of 10.03%. It is seen that in all the years SpiceJet registered the highest PLF for scheduled domestic operations. PLF less than break-even load factor (BELF) signifies that the airline is incurring losses. It is seen that in all the years IndiGo and GoAir were operating at a PLF higher than BELF. The Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) consumption registered a CAGR of 5.83% from 2006-07 to 2016-17. Financial performance of the sector is gloomy. Only IndiGo and GoAir registered operating profit in 2014-15 and 2015-16. Problems are ample, but opportunities are enormous as well. It is absolutely essential that the players in the civil aviation space of the nation view these challenges as opportunities and act accordingly for the overall development of the aviation sector.
