 Abstract

Human Trafficking is a significant issue in the country and people are trafficked illegally through the country for the purpose of sexual exploitation. It is a contemporary issue which still prevails in the society. Trafficking of women often paves the way for prostitution. Prostitution is considered as a filthy, immoral lifestyle and prostitutes are treated as inferior and marginalized who cannot access good facilities. Due to their gender and status, sex workers are often the victims of abuse, violence and sexual exploitation from the men. When a woman is coerced into engaging in sexual activity by a third party, it is referred to as forced prostitution or compulsory prostitution. Regardless of the 'oldest profession', it is the site of the oldest type of gender-based violence, exploitation, and slavery that men have invented to enslave women and keep them at their sexual whim. Throwing light on the plight and helplessness of the sex workers, this study aims to highlight the violence raised against the sex workers and how they are forced to carry out this work in the brothels of India. The study analyzes the instances of forced prostitution in the films Lakshmi (2014) and Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022). Additionally, the problem is examined through the lens of hegemonic masculinity with a view to understand the power dynamics involved in it.

People are afraid to share their contact information with others. In case If the public wants a hard copy of the document stored on a drive or in the cloud, they need to visit the nearest stationery shop. The public needs to share their documents with the shopkeeper via email or WhatsApp, where their contact details get exposed. This project, if done well, will help the customer share their documents with the shopkeeper without knowing or saving their shopkeeper's mobile numbers, which leads to not sharing their contact details. The project objective is to create a complete and working piece of software or application to share the documents with the shopkeeper by initially scanning the QR code.

 Abstract

In this modern era, we have seen increased number of heart diseases and increased risk of heart attacks. Heart attacks pose a serious health risk and can be life-threatening. They occur when a blockage in the coronary arteries disrupts blood flow to the heart, which can cause permanent damage. Hence it is very much imperative to detect the Heart Attack on time and provide necessary lifesaving medical care to the patients. In our proposed project, the system provides sensors that allow detecting heart rate of a person using heartbeat sensing even if the person is at a remote place (i.e. home, office, travel etc.). The sensors are then interfaced to a microcontroller that allows checking heart rate readings and transmitting them over internet. The user is enabled to set the various levels i.e. HIGH, LOW levels of heart beat limit. Once these limits are setup / configured, the system starts monitoring and as soon as patient heart beat goes above a certain limit (i.e. crossing the Thresholds), the system sends an alert to the controller which then transmits this over the internet and alerts the doctors as well as concerned users. Also the system alerts for lower heartbeat rates. Whenever the user logs on for monitoring, the system also displays the live heart rate of the patient. Thus, concerned stake holders can monitor heart rates and receive alerts of heart attack to the patient immediately from anywhere and the person's life can be saved on time.

 Abstract

Renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems are widely designed grid connected or autonomous. This is a problem especially in small powerful system due to the restriction on the inverter markets. Inverters which are utilized in these kinds of energy systems operate on grid or off grid. In this study, a novel power management strategy has been developed by designing a wind-PV hybrid system to operate. The inverter used in this study has been designed to operate both as an autonomous system and as a grid-connected system on-grid and off-grid. Due to the continuous demand for energy, gel batteries are used in the hybrid system. The designed Power Management Unit performs measurement from various points in the system and in accordance with this measurement; it provides an effective energy transfer to batteries, loads and grid.

 Abstract

In India transportation is a booming field where the count of e-vehicles increasing day by day.Security and maintenance of those e-vehicles is a risky one. Monitoring e-vehicle parameters and battery health level is an ideal to know without making any physical touch of the e-vehicle.IoT based e-vehicle parameter monitoring system is a capable one which leads to monitor our e-vehicle's parameters through an IOT. In this technology world, technology is increasing by giving solutions to many problems. By using this technology, a solution for decreasing air pollution is implemented. The main cause of increasing air pollution is using various kinds of vehicles that run on combustion engines for transportation utilities. The implementation of Electric Vehicle (EVs) can resolve this air pollution problem and keeps the environment as pollution-free air and the world can survive in pure air. EVs are like machines that run on a charging battery. An EV's condition is depending on the battery's performance. The parameters for the battery's condition the voltage, current, and temperature. By using these parameters State of Charge (SOC) is determined. These performances are monitored as Battery Management System (BMS). In this paper, the EV monitoring system is implemented using the combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) interfacing by the sensors in the vehicle's battery, and to the cloud. The performance of the battery is monitored using the mobile application of the cloud.

 Abstract

: In recent times, the world has been experiencing an increase in medical cases. These medical cases are due to the inappropriate disposal of hospital wastes. Medical wastes are not minded properly that contain hazardous wastes that lead to different viruses. Medical waste is some waste that is generated in healthcare centers, such as hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. Medical waste can contain chemicals, such as mercury, lead, and other hazardous materials that can leach into the soil and water, leading to environmental pollution. This pollution can also cause health problems for people living in the surrounding areas. The medical waste may contain infectious or hazardous materials that can pose a risk to human health and the environment. Hazardous waste in hospitals may include: Chemical waste that includes expired or unused chemicals, such as laboratory reagents and solvents, that can pose a risk to human health and the environment if not properly managed. Pharmaceutical waste which includes expired, unused, or contaminated medications, as well as chemotherapy drugs, which can be toxic and harmful if not properly disposed of. Radioactive waste which includes materials that contain radioactive isotopes, such as medical equipment used in radiation therapy or nuclear medicine. Infectious waste includes waste contaminated with infectious agents, such as blood-soaked bandages, used needles, and cultures from laboratory experiments. Sharps waste that includes used needles, syringes, and other sharp objects that can cause injury or transmit infection. Proper management and disposal of hazardous waste in hospitals is critical to protect the health and safety of patients, healthcare workers, and the environment. This may include segregating hazardous waste from non-hazardous waste, providing designated containers for different types of waste, labeling containers appropriately, and ensuring that waste is stored and transported safely to prevent contamination. Hospitals may also use specialized treatment methods, such as incineration or autoclaving, to treat hazardous waste before disposal.Medical waste is potentially dangerous. So, we have proposed a modified method of Sorting of medical wastes in the dustbin is very important. In this Continuation, we framed different rules to apply to treatment of different types of waste. We designed the Smart hospital waste management dustbin by using different sensors for different purposes. The bins are classified based on color. Four colors Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black indicate the different wastes in the Hospital. Sensors such as Ultrasonic measure the distance of the waste to be disposed of and it works along with the Servo Motor for the opening and Closing of the lid. Here, the Camera module for Arduino UNO is attached for the waste Image Recognition and classifies according to the color of the bin. The Gas sensor is set with the maximum range of the gas that stinks from the bin and it alerts the worker by ringing the buzzer. The Buzzer also works when the dumpster is filled. It must be properly managed to protect the general public. Specifically, healthcare and sanitation workers who are regularly exposed to biomedical waste as an occupational hazard. Additionally, a GSM module is connected for the SMS Alert to the frontline workers when the bins get filled and when it stinks. This helps the workers for the immediate action. Healthcare facilities should follow proper protocols for segregation, treatment, and disposal of medical waste to ensure the safety of their employees, patients, and the environment. Hence, disposal and accumulation of waste in the proper manner is of great value as it can lessen direct and indirect health risks to people and damage to flora, fauna and the environment.
