Democratic protests that began in the Arab World in 2010 have been a case of study, debates and discussions across the world. More than a decade later, the changes in the Arab region particularly in polity, governance and social culture have met with lukewarm responses from the international community. Yet the uprisings and the demands for installing democratic processes have sprung from the region with thousands gathering voluntarily to echo support. This brings in the role of various communities and of the civil society. The paper aims to reflect on the same.

ABSTRACT During the unceasing reorganization of the banking sector in the 1990s, the Indian economy adage substantial organizational vagaries. The introduction of derivatives in India's capital market segment strength is enumerated as one of the momentous structural modifications. These are the enhancements completed to intensify market effectiveness, crisscross discriminating hire applies, and transports the Indian capital marketplace up to stride with extra realms' capital markets. In the existing financial market situation, the spinoff market is assumed to be enormously imperative. The results market has progressively fully fledged to convert the solitary chief constituent of the comprehensive financial markets, with a revenue undoubtedly prodigious that of the even-handedness and pledge markets. By-products were familiarized in India with the goalmouth of tumbling the pecuniary souqs' intensifying explosiveness of benefit values and announcing erudite menace supervision apparatuses that would yield difficult revenues by letting down menace and contract expenses in judgment to distinct financial possessions. In a determination to healthier recognize the properties of precariousness in the routine market succeeding the overview of spinoffs in the Indian market, a study titled Spin-offs' impact on the value explosiveness in the Indian typical emporium has been undertaken. The study demonstrates a contributory association between these establishments' commodities and advert estimating. Both in the short term and the long term, it is exposed that these industries are co-integrated. Speculation stimulus, venture reimbursements, and investment analyst brashness are all features that have an impression on how nominees perform in the spinoffs souq. As the socio-demographic variable quantity impact on the features initiated was analyzed, it became vibrant that the socio-demographic variable quantity has a big impact on the factors discovered. This paper also identifies the variables influencing investors' behaviour in the derivatives market.

Wastewater treatment is a process used to remove contaminants from wastewater or sewage and convert it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle with acceptable impact on the environment, or reused for various purposes (called water reclamation). Pollutants in wastewater are removed, converted or broken down during the treatment process. In this paper various available method for the treatment of water, their working principle,advantages and disadvantages are discussed in detail. The various methods discussed are precipitation method, Flocculation-Coagulation, Electro-flocullation, Electro-flotation, Electrochemical Coagulation, Biological Degradation, Chemical Oxidation (Ozonation, Hydrogen Peroxide), Reverse Osmosis and adsorption. Out of all the methods discussed adsorption is found to be best because of its low cost and effectiveness but it also has certain disadvantages which are discussed.

 Abstract

This article takes a look at the birth control movement as a part of women's rights movement in the early 20th century India. It charts the trajectory of the rise of the idea of birth control first in England and thence its spread in India where concern for a rising population and high rates of maternal and infant mortality triggered such discussions from the 1920s onwards. The issue was taken up diffidently by Indian women's organizations such as the AIWC, the National Council of Women and others. Consequently, the country saw the visit of international advocates on birth control and contraception such as Margaret Sanger and Edith Howe. However, the question received a mixed response among the Indian intelligentsia, socio political reformers and women themselves. Most discussions, on this highly private yet inflammatory matter, focused only on population control from the eugenics point of view and mooted late marriages, via a stricter implementation of the Sarda Act, or the Gandhian panacea in the form of continence. Gender, caste, class and religious divide made the issue even more contentious. The general consensus, on birth control via contraception, if recommended at all, nonetheless veered more towards the idea that it was for the poorer masses who reproduced irresponsibly. The article therefore argues that the birth control advocacy in India was inspired by fears of the 'yellow peril' and the debates on this issue completely overlooked women's sexuality while their right over their bodies was put on a backburner as they were merely looked upon as agencies of reproduction.

The contemporary educational space in India owes much to the minutes of Macaulay. The Indian academia still bears the mark of the colonial past. Education according to the British educators was an alternative strategy to the physical subjugation of the vast and diverse country. Essentially, its introduction to Indian natives was inextricably linked to the goals of colonialism. Unfortunately, education policy was clearly enunciated in colonial terms as well.

 Abstract

The need for elephant intrusion and detection using image processing using two Arduino boards, LoRa transmitter and receiver, LCD display, relay, battery, DC motor, buzzer, and LED arises from the increasing conflict between humans and elephants in regions where elephants roam freely. Elephants often raid crops and damage property, which can lead to significant economic losses for farmers and communities. To mitigate this conflict, there is a need for an early warning system that can detect elephant intrusions and alert farmers and communities in real-time. Image processing techniques can be used to detect elephants from images captured by a camera mounted on a pole . The system consists of two Arduino boards, one for image processing and one for controlling the actuators. The LoRa transmitter and receiver are used to wirelessly transmit data between the two boards. The LCD display is used to display status information and alerts to the user. If an elephant is detected, the system activates a DC motor to move a flag or a scarecrow, which can deter the elephant from entering the area. Additionally, a relay can be used to turn on a sprinkler system to further deter the elephant. A buzzer and LED can be used to provide an audible and visual alert to the user battery can be used to power the system, making it portable and suitable for use in remote areas. The system can also be solar-powered for sustainability. The system provides an early warning and deterrence system for elephant intrusions that can help prevent economic losses and human-elephant conflict. The use of image processing techniques and wireless communication technologies make the system efficient and effective.

 Abstract

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, heterogeneous cancer with a poor prognosis and an unclear origin. The incidence of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), a rare cancer, ranges from 0.7 to 2.0 incidences per million people per year. 15% of patients with ACC initially receive an incidental diagnosis, however the majority of patients present with excess steroid hormone or abdominal mass effects. Here we summarize the knowledge about diagnosis, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and therapy of ACC. Before surgery and after tumour excision, thorough examinations of clinical, biochemical, and imaging aspects are required for the diagnosis of malignancy. Different tools are suggested after the diagnosis in order to evaluate the prognosis for ACC and create a sound foundation for treatment choices. The total removal of the tumour is the primary option for treatment when the tumour is restricted to the adrenal gland. New targeted medicines, such as IGF-1 receptor inhibitors, have been researched in recent years, but their effectiveness is still restricted. We will have a better grasp of the pathophysiology thanks to the ongoing "omics methods" and next-generation sequencing, which should also result in better treatments.
