 Abstract

Gender inequality has a significant impact on women's rights, and a study has been conducted to explore this issue in depth. The study reveals that gender inequality negatively affects women's rights, leading to various challenges that hinder their progress in life. It is crucial to address this issue to ensure that women have equal opportunities and are not held back by gender biases. The study highlights the need for action to be taken to promote gender equality and empower women to achieve their full potential. The Gender Inequality Index (GII) is an inequality index. It measures gender inequalities in three important aspects of human development--reproductive health, measured by maternal mortality ratio and adolescent birth rates; empowerment, measured by the proportion of parliamentary seats occupied by females and proportion of adult females and males aged 25 years and older with at least some secondary education; and economic status, expressed as labor market participation and measured by labor force participation rate of female and male populations aged 15 years and older. India has a GII value of 0.524, ranking it 127 out of 160 countries in the 2017 index. In India, 11.6 percent of parliamentary seats are held by women, and 39.0 percent of adult women have reached at least a secondary level of education compared to 63.5 percent of their male counterparts.

 Abstract

The wages and employment policies relating to the unorganized workers and in particular the issue of minimum wages paid to them had been a subject of considerable discussion among union leaders and labour experts in India. Minimum wages act 1948 is a law that set minimum wages that skilled and unskilled workers must be paid in India. While the minimum wage legislation has to a large extent been effective in providing protection to workers in organised sector, with periodic revision, this has not been the case with the unorganised workers who largely remain outside the purview. This paper highlights the issues and concerns relating to Minimum Wages Act, 1948 in India.

With the rise of serverless computing, new and compelling frameworks for serverless applications have emerged, which are helping to drive the trend toward container and microservice applications. This points to the fact that serverless computing is becoming more vital to business gatherings, conferences, blogging, and development. Key generation time (minimum, average, and maximum), encoded key size, and signature time are some of the security parameters that undergo experimental investigation. Serverless network metrics like as latency, average throughput, average response time, error rate, load distribution, and cost-efficiency are also used for testing. But there was hardly any excitement among academics. Simulation findings on serverless network metrics reveal that, in comparison to identity-based cryptosystems and attribute-based encryption, filter-based security utilizing fuzzy logic delivers better average throughput while reducing average response time, error rate, and load distribution. Additionally, when compared to attribute-based encryption and identity-based cryptosystems, testing on security metrics reveals that filter-based security employing fuzzy achieves lower encoded key size, signature time, and key generation time with reduced minimum, average, and maximum time. The research also demonstrates that fuzzy filter-based security is cost-effective. An important part of making decisions in cloud computing management is analyzing the many kinds of elements that affect the costs of cloud computing services.

 Abstract

This paper evaluates a fractal antenna based on Koch curve geometry. The antenna uses Ansys HFSS (High- Frequency Structure Simulator) software for simulation. The antenna is designed on a 1mm thick FR4 dielectric. This Koch curve antenna is designed to achieve resonance at 868MHz. The frequency choice is made as it is the approved frequency for ISM band in India and is used for LoRa communication in India. It is also used for other RFID [Radio Frequency Identification] and IoT [Internet of Things] protocols. A return loss of -15dB is obtained for 868MHz resonance frequency. A bandwidth of 60MHz is obtained considering -10dB return loss threshold. The antenna is designed on a substrate with dimension of 110mm x 20mm x 1mm. Simulated values of other parameters such as radiation efficiency and Gain are evaluated.

Abstract Introduction: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a versatile clinical condition affecting 6%-10% of fecund women, having a notable adolescent predominance. Defined by disturbances in metabolism, endocrine function, and reproductive processes, PCOS stands as a primary factor contributing to infertility, comorbidities linked to obesity, and increased pregnancy-related risks. Lifestyle modification, focusing on calorie restriction, physical activity, and dietary changes, serves as the first-line therapy, demonstrating improvements in metabolic and reproductive aspects. However, adherence to these modifications poses challenges. This article delves in the complex landscape of PCOS, emphasizing the crucial role of physiotherapists in implementing effective lifestyle interventions and shedding light on the interplay between exercise, insulin sensitivity, and reproductive function. Method This study, conducted at Krishna Vishwa Vidyapeeth 'Deemed to be University' Karad, assessed awareness of PCOS and lifestyle modifications among rural women aged 18-35. Ethical clearance was obtained, and participants provided written consent. A validated questionnaire covered demographics, PCOS perceptions, information sources, symptom awareness, emotions, and understanding of a physiotherapist's role in exercise recommendations. Results The research findings elucidate that a significant portion of individuals, amounting to 53%, lack awareness of the term "PCOS," while 20% of women primarily rely on doctors for information. Moreover, a notable 54% of individuals lack information altogether, highlighting a disparity in awareness of treatment options, with a majority of 64% lacking awareness. Additionally, a substantial 52% of women demonstrate unfamiliarity with the term "lifestyle modification," and a significant 72% have not received any guidance on lifestyle changes. Furthermore, 67% of women assert lack of knowledge about the role of physiotherapists in recommending exercises for lifestyle modification. These findings underscore the pressing need for targeted efforts to enhance awareness and understanding of PCOS and its management among women. Conclusion It is imperative to raise awareness about polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and implement lifestyle modifications among rural women. This research underscores the urgent need to empower them with knowledge and tools to manage PCOS effectively, thereby enhancing their health and quality of life. Physiotherapists are pivotal in educating, motivating, and facilitating lifestyle changes, thereby contributing significantly to the well-being of rural women affected by PCOS. Recognizing the importance of this awareness and the role of physiotherapists can greatly address healthcare disparities in underserved populations.

 Abstract

The Hunger Games film franchise, adapted from Suzanne Collins' bestselling novels, has garnered significant attention for exploring power dynamics, social stratification, and rebellion in a dystopian society. While much scholarly attention has been paid to the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, this paper focuses on the nuanced portrayal of female supporting characters and their evolving roles within the narrative. Through a feminist lens, this paper examines the trajectory of the female supporting characters such as Effie Trinket, Rue Bennett, Johanna Mason, President Alma Coin, and Primrose Everdeen from mere supporters to fully fleshed characters in their own right. Utilising a combination of textual analysis and feminist theory, the paper investigates how these characters navigate gendered expectations, agency, and empowerment within the oppressive regime of Panem. Furthermore, it explores how their interactions with Katniss and the Capitol's power structures shape their identities and relationships throughout the series. By analysing key moments and character arcs, this paper seeks to shed light on the complex interplay of gender, power, and resistance depicted through the experiences of female supporting characters in The Hunger Games film franchise. Ultimately, it argues that these characters serve as powerful symbols of resilience and defiance, challenging traditional notions of femininity and subverting dominant power structures in their quest for survival and liberation.
