subject: abuse; BRICS; domestic violence; gender; law; women
description: The most common kind of sexual or physical abuse suffered by women is that by a partner. Human rights are violated when males or boys use violence against women or girls. When it comes to domestic abuse, it is estimated that one in three women will experience some kind of gender-based violence at some point in their lives. The number of women who have been abused by a romantic partner or a non-relationship sexual partner is estimated to reach 736 million. For years, the worlds leaders have recognised its seriousness. In 1995, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action said that violence against women must be eliminated. Within the UNs 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, aworldwide goal to abolish all kinds of violence against women and girls in public and private spaces was added. Global action was called for in 2016 by the World Health Assemblys Resolution 69.5, which urged anational multisector approach to combating violence against women and young girls. In spite of all of these responsibilities, 49 countries still dont have a clear policy on domestic abuse. Lower and lower-middle-income women nations are particularly vulnerable to this violence, which has long-term effects on their health and well-being. In the worlds poorest nations, women aged 15 to 49 have a lifetime frequency of domestic abuse of 37 percent. One in every four women who have ever been in a relationship has been a victim of domestic abuse at some point in their lives. 2023, University of Tyumen. All rights reserved.

The Accountability of Stakeholders in Combating Domestic Violence with Women in India
subject: access to justice; Domestic violence; intimate partner violence; stakeholders; woman
description: As per the Hindu tradition, women are considered as ardhangini and the western civilisation considers them as better half. Since ancient times, women have been considered as the epitome of love, kindness, care and above all the mother of mankind. But on the contrary, the most terrible and horrifying cruelties are imposed upon her. The predominant type of violence which is inflicted upon a woman is domestic violence also known as intimate partner violence. According to the World Health Organisation, almost one third, i.e., 27% of the women aged between 15 and 49 years, who have been in a relationship report that they have been subjected to some form of physical or sexual violence by their intimate partner. The issue of domestic violence has been addressed at both international and national levels, but still there exists a persistent gap in enforcing and implementing them. And this can be easily proved from the continuous rise in the cases of domestic violence worldwide, especially during the COVID times. The problem that needs to be addressed at hand is the role of several accountable stakeholders involved in the process of providing access to justice to the women affected by domestic violence. According to the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (2005), in India, the several stakeholders include the protection officers, service providers, lawyers, police officers, shelter homes and judges. These are the people with whom the power to protect and help the women are vested, but instead the affected women fall a prey to this system due to various reasons like lack of resources, fewer power and many more which will be further discussed in the article. 2024 selection and editorial matter Dr. Shilpi Sharma and Baidya nath Mukherjee; individual chapters, the contributors.

Application of artificial neural networks in optimizing MPPT control for standalone solar PV system
subject: Artificial neural networks (ANN); Maximum power point tracking (MPPT); Perturb and observe (P&O); Photovoltaic (PV); Radial basis function network (RBFN)
description: Increasing demand of power supply and the limited nature of fossil fuel has resulted for the world to focus on renewable energy resources. Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy source being the most easily available, it is considered to have the potential to meet the ever increasing energy demand. Developing an intelligent system with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to track the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a PV Array is being proposed in this paper. The system adopts Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) architecture to optimize the control of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for PV Systems. A PV array has non-linear output characteristics due to the insolation, temperature variations and the optimum operating point needs to be tracked in order to draw maximum power from the system. The output of the intelligent MPPT controller can be used to control the DC/DC converters to achieve maximum efficiency. 2014 IEEE.

Influence of radiative transfer on Rayleigh-Benard-Marangoni canvection in a couple-stress fluid saturated porous medium
description: The problem of Rayleigh-Benard-Marangoni convection in a couple-stress fluid saturated porous medium with thermal radiation is studied within the framework of linear stability analysis. Only infinitesimal disturbances are considered. The linear stability analysis is based on the normal mode technique. The Darcy law is used to model the momentum equation. The fluid between the boundaries absorbs and emits thermal radiation. The boundaries are treated as black bodies. The absorption coefficient of the fluid is assumed to be the same at all wavelengths and to be independent of the physical state. The principle of exchange of stabilities is valid and the existence of oscillatory instability is ruled out. The expression for the stationary Darcy-Rayleigh number is obtained as a function of the governing parameters, viz., the wave number, the couple-stress parameter, the conduction-radiation parameter, the absorptivity parameter, the Marangoni number and the Biot number. The Galerkin method is used to determine the eigenvalues. The effect of various parameters on the stability of the fluid layer is discussed through figures and tables.

Students Perception of Chat GPT
subject: Artificial Intelligence; Chatbots; ChatGPT; Education; Technology
description: An artificial intelligence based Chatbot, ChatGPT was launched by Open AI in November 2022. In the field of education, ChatGPT has several benefits as well as challenges. Chat GPT can be considered as an advanced and a powerful tool to enhance the learning experience. It adds value to the education system only when it is used wisely. However, it is important to understand that the challenges must be addressed. It may act as a good source for collating the information, but it is always advised by the researchers that ones own perspective must be added to draw inferences from the output generated by ChatGPT. Our study supports the finding that ChatGPT can be used for the generation of ideas or to learn a new language. It also becomes imperative for the faculties to motivate students to use ChatGPT and add their inferences as well. AI models like ChatGPT can provide assistance, answer questions and provide explanations on various topics, making learning more accessible and tailored to individual needs. With this paper, we aim to provide a more informed discussion around the usage of ChatGPT in education. 2023 IEEE.

MARS: Manual andAutomatic Robotic Sanitization onSocial Milieu
subject: COVID-19; ESP8266; IoT; Sanitization
description: Sanitization is not a new term, but with the evolution of deadly COVID-19, the process came into the limelight quickly. The process was already utilized widely in hospitals, vaccination centers, food processing units, and medicine industries and suddenly became crucial in every domain related to our lives. Even though sanitization is considered the first line of defense against pandemic viruses like COVID-19, it is highly difficult to sanitize every nook and corner of bigger buildings and external structures like airports, railway stations, theaters, institutions, and hospitals. Slight carelessness to eliminate the virus from the sanitization process can reciprocate in the pandemic spread. Our proposed work deals with utilizing the accuracy and precision of robots to effectively sanitize bigger structures. The multi-faceted methodology of the work manages the comprehensive investigation of the robotic unit for the social setting. The concentrate additionally stretches out to refine the standard human behavioral reaction for modern robotic consideration in our lives. This will ease up the process and, at the same time, will reduce the chance of human error. The robotic structure is powered by a 12 V rechargeable battery, which has manual and automation cleaning modes. During manual mode, we control the robot with an Android application installed on the phone and connected with the robot through Bluetooth wireless connectivity. During automation, the mode robot moves in different directions and cleans and sanitizes the area independently. There is an ESP8266-based IoT connection unit to update the overall process for the cloud. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.

Organisations of all hue and texture- governmental,private or commercial enterprises- will need well planned and aligned recreational facilities to ramp up their productivity.Todays challenging social context increasingly calls on the leadership expertise of these organisations to address the important issue of human resources ??burnout. Their charge is to contribute to quality of life of the people at their organisations in the dynamic context of new modes of communication, new information, changing demographics, changing attitudes towards work and play, individualism and globalisation. A recreation facility is provided in premises or precincts of an organisation,for fun,diversion,enjoyment relaxation,amusement and physical, psychological, spiritual or social well being of members of the organisation. Activities engaged in the facility are planned by management with the view to enhance productivity by looking at the well being and development of employees. It is inclusive of hiring recreation organisations services. The steel baron Andrew Carnegie endowed hundreds of public libraries across the country in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, explaining, "How a man spends his time at work may be taken for granted but how he spends his hours of recreation is really the key to his progress in all the virtues." Among the important literatures, study by Sabarirajan, Meharajan & Arun.

Development and validation of multi-dimensional scale of grit
subject: adaptability; grit; non-cognitive trait; perseverance; spirited initiative; steadfastness
description: Positive psychology nurtures the potent qualities of individuals and aids them in carving a niche for themselves. Based on this theoretical foundation, a non-cognitive trait-like grit plays an imperative role in attaining high achievement. Previous studies have identified three dimensions of grit: perseverance of effort, consistency of interest and adaptability to situations. Recent research has criticized the dimension consistency of interest in a collectivist context. The present study provides an account of grit in view of eastern perspectives to check the suitability of the construct in India. Current findings provide a framework for the development and validation of Multi-Dimensional Scale of Grit reveals four dimensions of grit, namely, adaptability to situation, perseverance of effort, spirited initiative and steadfastness in adverse situations. It also provides an insight regarding the duration of goal attainment with respect to grit. The research conducted over three studies included Indian university students to develop and examine the psychometric properties of grit. Study 1 focused on item analysis and development of the factor structure through exploratory factor analysis. Study 2 confirmed the previously obtained factor structure through confirmatory factor analysis. In study 3, the psychometric properties of the scale were measured through test-retest reliability and validity, criterion, convergent and divergent. Results indicated that Multi-Dimensional Scale of Grit is a reliable and valid measure. It also indicated that the obtained 12 items and four dimensions were in synchronization with the relevant eastern perspective. 2021 The Author(s).

Towards Automated and Optimized Security Orchestration in Cloud SLA
subject: Cloud Computing; Orchestration; Security; Service Level Agreement
description: In cloud computing, providers pool their resources and make them available to customers. Next-generation computer scientists are flocking to the cutting-edge field of cloud computing for their research and exploration of uncharted territory. There are still several barriers that cloud service providers must overcome in order to provide cloud services in accordance with service level agreements. Each cloud service provider aspires to achieve maximum performance as per Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and this is especially true when it comes to the delivery of services. A cloud service level agreement (SLA) guarantees that cloud service providers will satisfy the needs of large businesses and offer their clients with a specified list of services. The authors offer a web service level agreementinspired approach for cloud service agreements. We adopt patterns and antipatterns to symbolize the best and worst practices of OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface Standard), REST (Representational State Transfer), and TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) with DevOps solutions, all of which API developers should bear in mind when designing APIs. When using this method, everything pertaining to the cloud service, from creation to deployment to measurement to evaluation to management to termination, may be handled mechanically. When distributing resources to cloud apps, our system takes into account the likelihood of SLA breaches and responds by providing more resources if necessary. We say that for optimal performance, our suggested solution should be used in a private cloud computing setting. As more and more people rely on cloud computing for their day-to-day workloads, there has been a corresponding rise in the need for efficient orchestration and management strategies that foster interoperability. 2023 International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication.

subject: Behavioural framework; DEA model; Health outcomes; Malmquist TFP index; PLS-SEM model; Socioeconomic framework
description: This study presented a radically different approach to efficiency evaluation based on the impact of the Socioeconomic and Behavioral health determinants framework on health outcomes for the countries of Middle-East region. The level of education, employment, and the percentage of the population living in the rural area constitutes the socioeconomic framework. The prevalence of tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption formed the behavioral framework. The model considers life expectancy at birth and mortality rate from non-communicable diseases as health outcomes. The econometric models of the PLS-SEM, the DEA, and the Malmquist TFP index are used to analyze the data. The DEA results highlight differences in the impact of socioeconomic and behavioral health determinants on health outcomes across the countries of the Middle-East region. Finally, evidence from the Malmquist TFP index shows an improvement in health production between the periods 20062017. Moreover, a substantial gap in efficiency is observed between economically prosperous countries and others who are less well-off. Furthermore, socioeconomic and behavioral frameworks positively impact life expectancy at birth. Similarly, the two frameworks have a negative impact on the mortality rate from chronic non-communicable diseases. A higher impact on health outcomes is observed in the socioeconomic as a behavioral framework in the model. The studys results have contributed to the policymakers, citizens, and the countrys government to compare the health system efficiencies across the middle-east region, which would help achieve the health outcome more efficiently.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Share Prices of Life Insurance Companies: A Case of Economic Sustainability in India
description: The outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused many economic disruptions worldwide. In particular, the Indian insurance industry has been adversely affected due to the impact of the pandemic. Furthermore, this market volatility has caused a steep fall in the stock prices of life insurance companies in the country. The share prices of life insurance companies have been affected due to decreased demand and uncertain market conditions. This study has considered three life insurance scripts from NSE, namely SBI Life, HDFC Life, and ICICI PRU, for the period from April 2020 to July 2021; the data has been taken on a daily basis. The methodology adopted was one of moving average trading rules to ascertain the profitability of the rule. Market returns of life insurance companies are not satisfying for the investor. Due to the pandemic, the insurance sector has been one of the most hard-hit sectors due to claims and releases. Life insurance has performed poorly during the period of the study. According to the data, if an investor entered the market during that period, then their position would have been stable, but investors holding the stock would have suffered a huge loss during this period. Investors need to wait for better opportunities post COVID-19. 2024 selection and editorial matter, Shalini Singh, Bhavna Sharma, and Garima Madaan Dua.

HEALTH EXPENDITURES AND HEALTH OUTCOMES IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND THE BALTIC REGION
subject: Baltic region; health expenditures; health outcomes; seemingly unrelated regression
description: In Central Europe and the Baltic region, healthcare expenditure has been growing slightly faster than across the euro area and in OECD countries. However, health outcomes as regards chronic diseases prove to be modest in the euro area and OECD countries compared to Central Europe and the Baltic region. Panel data analysis and country-specific regressions were conducted using World Bank data spanning from 2000 to 2019. Evidence suggests a significant correlation between private and current health expenditures and reduced mortality from chronic diseases in males, females and the total population across the panel, leading to improved longevity. Yet, public health expenditure does not correlate with a substantial reduction in mortality or a higher lifespan among the population, whether considered collectively or among males and females separately. Similarly, an increase in current health expenditure by one unit leads to significant reductions in mortality from non-communicable diseases: by 29 percent in the total population, 22 percent in females and 36 percent in males. Public health spending in Lithuania and Russia has been shown to decrease mortality from non-communicable diseases. Furthermore, chronic mortality is associated with a significant decline in labour productivity: by 42 percent in the total population, 40 percent in males and 45 percent in females. Therefore, interventions implemented through public health systems may reduce mortality from chronic conditions in the study countries. (2023), (Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University).
