 Abstract

In this paper, we propose a face descriptor, Local Directional Number Pattern (LDN), for robust face recognition that encodes the structural information and the intensity variations of the face's texture. LDN encodes the structure of a local neighborhood by analyzing its directional information. Consequently, we compute the edge responses in the neighborhood, in eight different directions with a compass mask. The 2-FFC of Gabor, PCA and ICA filters thus yields three offspring sets: (1) Gabor filters solely, (2) Gabor-PCA filters, and (3) Gabor-ICA filters, to render the learning-free and the learning based 2-FFC descriptors. To facilitate a sensible Gabor filter selection for ?FFC, the 40 multiscale, multi-orientation Gabor filters are condensed into 8 elementary filters. Aside from that, an average histogram pooling operator is employed to leverage the ?-FFC histogram features, prior to the final whitening PCA compression. The empirical results substantiate that the 2-FFC descriptors prevail over, or on par with, other face descriptors on both identification and verification tasks. We found that the inclusion of multiple encoding levels produces an improvement in the detection process. Moreover, we test our descriptor with different masks to analyze its performance in different face analysis tasks.

 Abstract

Companies cannot expect safe working environment right from the inception. But it must be created with great care. Many companies which are less concerned about the health and safety of the employees can cause workplace accidents and health problems to the employees. Accidents are undesirable and unpredictable when they occur, but they can be anticipated. Creation of safety conditions from the possibilities of accidents facilitates the performance of the company. This study aims at providing information about the various causes of accidents in a firm and preventive measures, components of safety measures and health, safety training for employees and workplace health hazards: problems and remedies.

 Abstract

Agriculture plays a significant role in increasing the economic development of our nation. Crop production has been greatly affected due to changes in the weather pattern. In the area of Agriculture, computer engineering can be used for farmer decision-making for better yield and crop. Also, for soil quality purposes. Emerging technologies can be used to improve the productivity of crops by converting traditional farming to precision farming. The new technologies that are used include data analysis and the Internet of Things (IoT). The major issue yet to be resolved is cultivating precise crops at the precise time. This can be done with the help of machine learning algorithms which are found to be an effective method for predicting the suitable crop. Machine learning classifiers have a significant role in the determination of making on distinct problems like soil nutrients, and plant disease-related. The soil parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and pH are collected from the sensors using IoT and given to Graphical User Interface (GUI).

 Abstract

Work Life Balance concept has been concentrated by many of organisations and also by the academicians as a contemporary issue. The present world's stressful working environment has created and made many individuals to concentrate on the issues relating to work life balance. In this scenario, the present study is an attempt to learn about the concept of work life balance in the legal field. This paper discusses about the technological involvement and its related advancements in the legal profession. So, in this regard the primary data is collected through a structured questionnaire, in a virtual mode using Google form. The Convenient Sampling technique was used in the study to collect the data from the advocates of a select Bar Association at Hyderabad. The Chi-Square test is conducted for analysis, to know about their ability to manage the working and personal life and also for technological advancements in the legal field in relation to Age and Experience demographical features respectively.

 Abstract

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, while urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra's lumen. The prevalence of urethral stricture is determined to be 0.6% of the population. Males in their middle and older years make up the majority. According to the Ayurvedic Sushrut Samhita, urethral stricture symptoms are comparable to those of mutrotsanga. Despite being a rare ailment, stricture urethra continues to be a sensible and problematic issue in the global community. Prior to and following therapy, a 41-year-old male patient who visited the OPD at the All India Institute of Ayurveda Hospital in New Delhi with complaints of urgency, frequency, incomplete voiding, dribbling urine, and burning micturition was evaluated. Before and after the treatment, ultrasonography and retrograde urethrography were performed in this case study.

 Abstract

The future of the automotive sector is electric automobiles. The focus of all well-known industries was on electrification as opposed to sticking with the traditional form of power for propulsion. Future electrical-powered vehicles completely outperformed IC vehicles in terms of performance. If a country's expenditures are taken into account, the payment of import bills for petroleum products accounts for 80-90% of the total. The end outcome is a rise in the price of petrol, which in turn leads to growing inflation. India is currently the world's fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. It would be necessary to expand the use of electric vehicles and reach their full potential. 80% of the vehicle market is dominated by two wheelers. According to the Motor Vehicle Act, Transport Department, Government of India, a two-wheeler has a 15-year lifespan. One current option for this problem is to convert existing scooters to hybrid electric scooters. This can be used to create hybrid electric automobiles rather than scrapping current gasoline vehicles.

 Abstract

In past few decades, entrepreneurship has gained much popularity worldwide. Our Union Government is providing lot of support towards entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur should manifest a higher level of managerial ability in order to run the enterprise successfully. The purpose of the present study is to explore the level of managerial ability among the rural entrepreneurs and to exhibit the relationship between various demographic variables with managerial ability. The study has been conducted on a sample of 150 tribal land owners engaged in rural entrepreneurs. Convenience sampling technique was adopted. Structured interview schedule was used to collect data from the respondents. The result shows that the rural entrepreneurs are having an average level of managerial ability. The result also shows that demographic variables have an impact over managerial ability. The government can take a cue from the study and impart managerial skills among the rural entrepreneurs to ensure financial gains and growth.

 Abstract

Energy and health drinks have gained popularity among consumers who are seeking to improve their physical and mental performance. Energy drinks are beverages that contain caffeine and other stimulants, while health drinks are marketed as having various health benefits. However, the consumption of these drinks has been associated with potential health risks. Energy drinks, in particular, have been linked to increased risk of heart palpitations, insomnia, and anxiety, especially when consumed in large quantities or in combination with alcohol. Health drinks may contain added sugars and calories, which can lead to weight gain and other health issues if consumed in excess. To address these concerns, regulatory agencies have implemented labelling requirements and warning statements to inform consumers about the potential risks associated with these products. Additionally, healthcare professionals may advise their patients to consume these beverages in moderation or avoid them altogether, depending on their individual health status and needs. Despite these potential risks, energy and health drinks remain popular among consumers. Therefore, it is important for individuals to be aware of the potential risks and to consume these beverages in moderation.
