 Abstract

-- In this research paper, we present a novel Credit Card Fraud Detection System that leverages machine learning-based feedback. Leveraging machine learning as a revolutionary method, the study explores the adaptation of fraud detection methods to data characteristics, specifically distinguishing between supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. Our research evaluates the performance of various machine learning algorithms, including random forests, distribution trees, neural networks, support vector machines, naive Bayes, logistic regression, and gradient boosting classifiers. Notably, logistic regression models excel in binary classification problems, offering accurate scores for each transaction and enabling the identification of potential fraud patterns based on historical transaction data. In addition, the study proposes a supervised classifier, addressing the challenges posed by a lack of publicly available information and the overwhelming prevalence of fraud cases compared to regular transactions. The study evaluates under-sampling and over-sampling methods such as random undersampling and near miss sampling, meticulously assessing their effectiveness across classifiers to mitigate the negative consequences of fraudulent transactions and improve overall model performance.

 Abstract

Products that do not harm the environment during manufacturing, usage, or disposal are considered sustainable. These items greatly reduce the pollution they would otherwise cause, which helps to maintain the environment. Products that are sustainable consider both human and environmental safety. Customers exhibit diverse purchasing behaviors, which are subject to continuous modification due to the abundance of superior options. India's desire for eco-friendly items has surged dramatically in recent years as environmental awareness has grown. Consumers are opening their wallets for sustainable items as they are "thinking green" more and are eager to purchase more eco-friendly goods. Given this context, the paper's primary goals are to ascertain consumer awareness of and perceptions of sustainable products as well as their willingness to pay a premium for them. Both primary and secondary data have been taken into consideration for the study. Secondary data is gathered from numerous websites, while primary data is gathered from the general population through the distribution of questionnaires.

 Abstract

Gravitational waves, the elusive ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, have captivated the scientific community for decades. These cosmic messengers, emanating from some of the most violent and energetic events in the universe, carry invaluable information about their sources and offer a new window into the study of extreme astrophysical phenomena. This paper delves into the fascinating realm of gravitational wave astronomy, exploring its theoretical foundations, experimental detection techniques, and the groundbreaking discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. We examine the historical journey that led to the first direct detection of gravitational waves, the principles of laser interferometry that made this feat possible, and the global network of detectors that continues to expand our observational capabilities. Furthermore, we explore the diverse sources of gravitational waves, from the merger of compact binary systems to the cosmic microwave background, and discuss their profound implications for astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. By investigating the challenges, breakthroughs, and future prospects of this emerging field, we aim to illuminate the profound impact of gravitational wave astronomy on our quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe.

ABSTRACT: While the Constitution recognizes every individual as equal, there is a need for reform in certain laws to achieve equality truly. The landmark Supreme Court judgment in Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India marked a significant step towards equality for the LGBTQA+ community in India. However, there is still a considerable journey ahead to secure the full range of human rights for this community. The paper delves into the current status of same-sex marriages in India. Through research, the researcher analyses how Countries all over the world can provide equal rights and status as that given to heterosexual couples. The research papers attempt to present a compelling rationale for legalizing same-sex marriage in India and recognizing it as a basic human right in the country, drawing on constitutional provisions, court precedents, and other relevant laws.

 Abstract

The present study focuses upon identifying the determinant of organizational effectiveness with focus on the emerging concept of entrepreneurial leadership. It was hypothesized that executives and non-executives would differ significantly with each other on the variables under study. There would be a significant positive contribution of attributes of entrepreneurial leadership on organizational effectiveness irrespective of organizations' typology. The sample of 150 respondents from both public and private organizations working in the manufacturing sector in Tamilnadu participated in the study. The findings of the study reveal that executives and non-executives of both organizations differ significantly on directed discovery, creative integration of networks and arena building. The quantum of difference in employees of private organizations was low. The findings are important to design interventions on entrepreneurial leadership attributes for enhancing organizational effectiveness.

1.Abstract. (a)The first initiative was invention of the wheel which set in motion the necessity of travelable paths. Since then the role of infrastructure has expanded from canals to modern capital structures such as railways, roads etc. Depending on the necessities of the region in India since independence, infrastructure development has moved on a consistent growth curve building the assets required by the nation across sectors such as transportation, housing, commercial development, telecom and most recently, sanitation. (b)The multiplier effects of infrastructure in the economy cannot be realized if it operates in silos. Thus, in 2019, Government of India adopted a forward-looking programmatic approach towards infrastructure coordination. The National Infrastructure Pipeline was born with a projected investment of around Rs111 lakh Crore for FY 2020-25 for developing a comprehensive view of infrastructure development in the country, monitoring its progress at the highest levels in the government for timely completion, and enabling a pipeline view for investors for them to plan infrastructure investments. (c)This story of infrastructure has seen many successes. While roads, railways, and waterways have seen unprecedented expansion in the last eight years, ports and airports have been substantially upgraded. With the help of infrastructure the country move from unimodal to multimodal transportation, providing a window of opportunity to the private sector to invest and reinvest in these assets, which has already been facilitated by the policy of asset monetization. Extending infrastructural facilities is only part of the story; modernization is the other important principle that has been attempted with verve and achieved with commendable speed. My presentation will cover answers of following questions: (i)What is PM Gati Shakti Approach? (ii)The main objectives of PM Gati Shakti. (iii)What are the presumed outcomes of PM Gati Shakti (iv)How PM Gati Shakti will help in various issues faced by Indian infrastructure? (v)How PM Gati Shakti will be beneficial for the common man? (vi)How PM Gati Shakti is facilitating ease of doing business? (vii)How PM Gati Shakti is improving logistic efficiency? (viii)What digitization efforts are being undertaken under PM Gati Shakti?

 Abstract

Important ideas examined in this study are resilience strengthening, self-efficacy, and confidence development. Self-efficacy, which has its roots in social cognitive theory, is the idea that one can successfully complete activities and reach objectives. This idea has a significant impact on resilience, behavior, and motivation in a variety of spheres of life. Self-efficacy principles, when understood and put into practice, enable people to identify constructive role models, create reasonable objectives, and persevere in pursuing their dreams. People may overcome obstacles in life with optimism and resiliency when they have faith in their own skills, which eventually leads to their reaching their full potential for happiness and success. Building self-efficacy provides useful techniques for personal development and accomplishment, empowering people to get through challenges, follow their dreams, and have fulfilling lives.. This study examines the interplay between self-efficacy, confidence-building, and resilience-enhancement, highlighting the importance of these concepts in promoting well-being and success in diverse life domains. Through empirical research and practical insights, this study provides valuable guidance for individuals seeking to enhance their self-efficacy and thrive in various aspects of life.

 Abstract

The demand for automobiles is rising each day on a global scale. Because of the lower cost of diesel oil compared to gasoline, more people own and operate private diesel vehicles than commercial ones. By 2030, it is anticipated that there will be 1300 million cars on the road. Emissions from fossil fuels contaminate the atmosphere, threatening air quality, the environment, and human health. Among these contaminants are Nox, HC, and CO. Researchers from all over the world concentrated on figuring out how to reduce pollution. Platinum and rhodium metals have been applied to catalytic converter (CC) monoliths in contemporary cars up until this point. These metals are pricey because they are rare. In the current investigation, ethanol alcohol and base metal catalysts like Al2O3, Ceo2, and Zeolite (Ze) are utilized to create slurry using ultrasonication technique, which is then applied to foils made of metal. After testing, it was discovered that, when compared to a mix of the A50C40Ze40-E130, the modified CC has the ability to lower hazardous emissions like HC, CO, and NOx by 50, 57.89, and 43.82%, respectively.
