Thereby it becomes a myth of forming crimeless society. There are various punishments in crime like compensation, life imprisonment, death sentence, reclusive custody and many more. Punishment depends on the gravity of offence. Reclusive custody is detention in which a prisoner is detached from all human contact and isolated in a single cell. This punishment requires high gravity of offence. Confinement can`t be implemented mannerly without prisons as it were established with the motive, to restrain criminal activities of an evil doer. In modern time, prisoner`s rights concept has been changed by the criminal justice system by utterly shifting from retaliatory to corrective approach. The long list of prisoner`s right has also owned by the judiciary, are bound on all authorities to follow. Still today, Indian jails are overcrowded. The NCRB record says that the occupancy ratio is 14% more tha...

Education loans has become one of the alternatives for financing higher education all over the world. In India, since the announcement of the Model Education loans Scheme in 2011, commercial banks have come forward to finance higher education. Now, education loans has seen increasing relevance and hence the flow of education loans is increasing year by year. However, a look at the disbursal of education loans in India shows its skewed distribution among various states and regions. The South Indian States are found to be the major beneficiaries of the scheme, while bigger states like UP and Bihar are lagging behind. So, this uneven distribution of education loans vitiates the very purpose of this scheme. In this context, this article examines the growth of higher education...

The users who upload these photos are sharing their travel experiences through them. Geo-tagged photos have crucial information imbibed within them, like location, time, tags and weather. Travel Recommendation methods that exist do not take into consideration user preferences and weather all at once. In this paper, a travel recommendation system is proposed for tourists in Mumbai according to their preferences, weather and live events. The preferences are obtained according to the prior travel history of user(s) and recommendations are suggested. Dataset is collected from the Flickr API and the technique is examined for Mumbai, an Indian metropolitan city. The effectiveness of the proposed method can be seen from the experimental results, which shows an average of 15% improvement in the accuracy with respect to the existing methods.

Insulin resistance is due to decreased suppressive effect of insulin on hepatic glucose production. Thus, elevated insulin levels during perinatal life may predispose the infant to the development of diabetes mellitus in future life. Intrauterine undernutrition plays an important role in causing adult insulin resistance and diabetes but the exact cause is still unknown. Preterm infants born small for gestational age (SGA) show lower adrenocortical response to stimulation due to an immature hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Methods The cross-sectional study conducted at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi from June 2020 to November 2021 included 216 newborns enrolled as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Maternal and neonatal details were collected at birth and recorded. Cord blood samples for measurement of serum insulin, glucose, and cortisol were collected from 84 preterm and 132 term neonates. Using this information, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated using a mathematical formula. Insulin resistance was defined as HOMA-IR > 2.5. Based on birth weight and gestational age, they were further categorized into SGA, appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and large for gestational age (LGA). The parametric data were presented as means ± standard deviation (SD), and nonparametric data as medians (first quartile and third quartile). The Student's (independent samples) t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare mean differences between the two groups for parametric and nonparametric data, respectively. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the significant association between variables. Results Umbilical cord plasma glucose and serum insulin were high in preterm in comparison to term newborns. Serum cortisol levels were high in term than in preterm newborns. HOMA-IR showed a very strong positive correlation with serum insulin and a moderate positive correlation with serum glucose. HOMA-IR showed a strong negative correlation with gestational age and a moderate negative correlation with birth weight. Insulin resistance was seen in 34 preterm newborns and two term newborns. Insulin resistance was seen in 29.8% (n = 25) of SGA preterm babies, 7.1% (n = 6) of AGA preterm babies, and 1.5% (n = 2) of AGA term newborns. A total of 55.6% of newborns were below normal weight (48.1% had low birth weight, 4.6% had very low birth weight, and 2.8% had extremely low birth weight). Conclusion Our study suggests that preterm newborns are more insulin resistant at birth than term newborns. SGA preterm babies are having a higher incidence of insulin resistance compared to AGA preterm babies. It is clear that high insulin level is needed to overcome high insulin resistance in the very early gestational period. Serum cortisol increases as gestational age and birth weight increase. Thus, serum cortisol helps in the maturation of the fetus and neonatal adaptation at birth.

The approach relies on the initial formation of [3+2]-cycloadducts from a pyridinium ylide generated in situ from polymer-bound DMAP (PS-DMAP) with an N-substituted maleimide or an α,β-unsaturated β-keto ester. The cycloadduct decomposes to regenerate supported DMAP and yield a functionalized itaconimide or olefin. The method has a broad substrate scope. The alkene product has been further transformed into trisubstituted furan. PS-DMAP could be reused for five cycles.

Generally, lead based materials (PZT, PMN) have dominated in piezoelectric market because of their excellent dielectric, piezoelectric properties and flexibility in terms of compositional modifications. However, due to toxicity and environmental concerns, PZT is facing global restrictions in its usage in electronic equipment. Till date the properties of developed lead free piezoelectric are not comparable to that of PZT based compositions. The breakthrough made by Liu and Ren et al. in BaTiO3-based ceramics with co-dopants of Zr, and Ca (BCZT) has offered a significant impact on the development of lead-free piezo ceramics. It featured piezoelectric constants on the order of 560–620 pm/V, clearly exceeding values for competing lead-free compositions and even those for most PZT materials. Multilayered structure (alternate layers of piezoelectric wafers and electrodes) is prefe...

Presently India is in the top-ranked in death due to road accidents. This is a serious matter, which needs to be solved to save the life of many injured people due to accidents. To solve this problem many automobile companies have done different systems such as safety airbags, seat belts, camera sensors, etc. but still the cause and the effect of the accident cannot be reduced. One of the major solutions is to provide proper medical treatment to the victim on time. According to statistics whenever any kind of accident happens, the witness of the accident hesitates to help the victim due to the long procedure of reporting and inquiry to the police. Mostly the victim is not in a condition to ask for any sort of help from others in that situation. In such a situation, the life of the victim is in danger due to the lack of proper treatment and medical facility in time. To solve this problem there is an urgent requirement of a system that automatically detects the accident and based on that information it communicates about the accident and its location to the hospital and relative without any delay. In this work, an Arduino based Automatic Accident Detection and Location Communication System (AAADLCS) is developed that continuously tracks the location of the vehicle, when any kind of accident occurs. It automatically detects the accident and based on that information it sends that location to the hospital, relatives, and to the police quickly. The key benefit of this system is its low cost, easy to implement, easy to use, processing speed, high accuracy, and its self-reliance.

Selection of proper weights for forward and feedback filters is very important for the designing of efficient decision feedback equalizers. Performance of the most of existing wireless communication systems degrades under higher PSK (Phase Shift Keying) sizes. But use of higher PSK size is essential to fulfill the demand of high speed broadband wireless communication. In this paper an efficient block based decision feedback equalizer is proposed in a training mode. It is proposed to model the multipath Rayleigh fading channel with normalized channel impulse response (CIR) and measured AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise). This significantly improves the performance of wireless communication systems with M-PSK modulation techniques for higher PSK size of 512 and 1024. In addition BER (Bit Error rate) performance of the wireless commun...

Yet, little is known about (i) how these groups jointly navigate cybersecurity and privacy (S&P) decisions for shared resources, (ii) how shared experiences influence individual S&P attitudes and behaviors, and (iii) how well existing S&P controls map onto group needs. We conducted group interviews and a supplemental diary study with nine social groups (n=34) of varying relationship types. We identified why, how and what resources groups shared, their jointly construed threat models, and how these factors influenced group strategies for securing shared resources. We also identified missed opportunities for cooperation and stewardship among group members that could have led to improved S&P behaviors, and found that existing S&P controls often fail to meet the needs of these small social groups.
