 Abstract

The classification of marine species using underwater pictures presents special difficulties because of the different illumination conditions, occlusions, and morphologies of different species. This research paper uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to automatically classify marine species based on visual data. A dataset of photos of different marine creatures from scientific databases and underwater photography was used to train and assess the CNN model. To improve model generalization, the dataset was preprocessed and supplemented using an Image Data Generator. The model reached an accuracy of 83% on the validation set after training for 12 epochs with the Adam optimizer and categorical crossentropy loss function. The findings show how well CNNs can identify marine species from photos, which has promising implications for ecological study, biodiversity assessment, and marine conservation.

 Abstract

Election procedures depend on the security and integrity of online voting systems being protected. This study proposes a novel application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), blockchain technology, and thermal imaging to address issues such as unauthorized voting and inaccurate vote confirmation. By recording voters' distinct thermal signatures with thermal imaging cameras, the suggested methodology establishes a reliable biometric verification process. Along with other voter-related data, these thermal images are securely kept on a blockchain, ensuring data integrity and transparency. CNNs for thermal image analysis have made it possible to precisely identify and validate voters using their thermal biometric data. In order to increase security, the system also incorporates a two-factor authentication method that combines email OTP verification with facial recognition. This unique proposal aims to transform online voting methods by creating a dependable and transparent foundation for digital democracy.

 Abstract

Generally, when an investor decides to study an investment options readily available in today's confusing, complex and risky environment, he thoroughly evaluates all the investment options.While evaluating such multiple options, he naturally considered several factors like past performance of the options under study, risks adjusted returns from the invested plan, share in the portfolio policy, fund house, black returns i.e. percentage of interest/ dividends and consistent rate of returns on investment, to mention a few. In the word of Warrant Buffett, "Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing". If at all, an investor decides to follow all these options for his investment, quite strictly, preferable he would come to a rational conclusion of an option of mutual funds. However when an investor decides to opt for mutual funds, he proceeds with the assumptions that the performance of mutual funds is relatively good, the return on mutual funds is better as compared to the returns on fixed deposits with bank or post offices. The performance of mutual funds is good because of proper portfolio and risk management and it is linked and dependent on stock market

 Abstract

This study examines the online buying behaviour of teenagers and adolescents in the vibrant Doaba region, focusing on the influence of social media marketing, brand awareness, and adolescent engagement. Through a survey of 150 respondents, we tested several hypotheses to understand the relationships between these variables. While the hypothesis regarding the positive relationship between social media marketing and brand awareness was not supported, our findings revealed significant effects of social media marketing on adolescent engagement and online buying behaviour. Moreover, brand awareness emerged as a significant predictor of online purchases. However, adolescent engagement did not significantly influence online buying behaviour. These results highlight the intricate dynamics of online consumer behaviour among teenagers and adolescents and offer valuable insights for businesses and marketers seeking to engage with this demographic effectively in the digital age.

 Abstract

The presence of phytochemicals that have therapeutic importance gives medicinal plants a great deal of potential in treating a wide range of diseases. There are various commercially available drugs to treat the symptoms of diabetes, a dangerous metabolic illness. On the other hand, these OTC medications come with several drawbacks and are costly. Due to their lower costs and better therapeutic results with fewer side effects, herbal medications are becoming more and more popular. The reports that are currently available on medicinal plants used to treat issues related to diabetes are included in this review. The knowledge in this review of the many medicinal plants can be used to address diabetes-related issues. Several search engines, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and other online journals and books, were used to conduct a thorough search on medicinal plants with anti-diabetic qualities. The active ingredients and processes of these plants can be studied further through research.

 Abstract

In a preliterate civilization, myths are usually understood as traditional stories that deal with supernatural entities, ancestors, and other types of people with a rudimentary understanding of the universe. There are many different kinds of myths. These comprise creation myths, myths about Gods and Goddesses, myths about etymology, psychological myths, and myths about history. Women may be among the historically misrepresented and misunderstood personalities. This is most noticeable in patriarchal societies, particularly in their religious writings and mythologies, where women are either entirely ignored or seen as the embodiment of the values of the male community. In both our mythology and literature, the Indian lady has been portrayed as a quiet, suffering, meek, obedient, faithful person who lacks her own personality. Yet, the way that women were portrayed underwent a significant shift throughout time. Particularly in Indian English fiction, the concept of the ideal lady has given way to that of the modern woman. These female characters were dubbed "New Women" because they went against the traditional patriarchal beliefs, attitudes, and goals. The researcher has examined six novels featuring characters modelled after legendary heroines in this chapter. Characters from The Ramayana appear in three of these books: Popuri Lalitha Kumari's The Liberation of Sita, Koral Dasgupta's Ahalya, and Kavita Kane's Sita's Sister. Characters from the Mahabharata appear in the other three novels: The Rise of Hastinapur by Sharath Kamaraju, The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakurni, and The Curse of Gandhari by Aditi Banerjee.

 Abstract

Relying on field observation women who have to travel during the nights are often at risk of not finding a place to stay. Taking into consideration the number of women who arrive in the city for travel and other emergencies, Unlike men who generally migrate to big cities in search of livelihood and use shelter homes, women end up using these spaces as the last resort for survival. Women in these shelter homes are either deserted by their husbands or are escaping domestic violence and abuse in families and/ or have been abandoned in old age homes to fend for themselves. A woman shared her ordeal of escaping the traffickers in one shelter. There is no denying that these spaces have offered a roof over head but certainly have failed to link them to a sustainable livelihood option. As these women are illiterate and unskilled they get work only as a domestic worker in neighboring quarters or end up living on mercy from charity by nearby holy temples or mosques. If nothing avails, a 65-year-old remarked that they are 'forced into beggary' for seeking subsistence. The Non Governmental organization (SRED)&MEPMA provide shelter for these women. , this study reveals 21 case studies of adult women how the bureaucracy and institutionalization within a homeless shelter. This study aims at Women's experiences as shelter residents.
