Cricket Shot Classification with Deep Learning: Insights for Coaching and Spectator Experience Enhancement
The cricket field has undergone significant transformations owing to recent technological advancements, particularly in countries like India. Technology has been used to determine projected scores, chances of winning, run rates, and many more parameters. This study centers on employing Deep Learning in cricket, focusing on the classification of different types of shots played by batsmen to aid in creating coaching strategies and enhancing the spectator experience. The proposed model uses a dataset of cricketing shots generated by collecting images from the internet, comprising 5781 images of 7 distinct shot types played by batters. The VGG-16, VGG-19, and RestNet-50 model architectures were trained for the classification task, with the best result obtained from VGG-16. Pre-processing tasks, such as scaling, augmentation, etc., were performed on the images before classification. Subsequently, 85% of the total images were used to train the model and for testing, rest 15% of images, resulting in an accuracy of 96.50% from VGG-16, 92% from VGG-19, and 78% from RestNet-50. 2024 IEEE. -

Cries of war: Securitization of fluid transnational identities during war (a comparative study of securitization of Chinese Indians and Japanese Americans)
Fluid transnational identities are an omnipresent reality in the contemporary world, but what happens when war becomes a reality or the threat of war is imminent in a State which contains fluid transnational identities? This article tries to explore these dynamics to determine if the threat from transnational identities is an actual threat during war or an act of an elite few, and what follows after the war, by comparing the experiences of Chinese Indians and Japanese Americans. The study heavily leans on securitization theory to explore the questions posed and elaborate on the situations when habeas corpus was denied thereby incarceration and internment as a practice were justified. The relationship between the transnational population and the State under the Copenhagen School is also further elaborated on. The Author(s) 2021. -
Crime analysis and forecasting on spatio temporal news feed dataan indian context
Social media is a platform where people communicate, interact, share ideas, interest in careers, photos, videos, etc. The study says that social media provides an opportunity to observe human behavioral traits, spatial and temporal relationships. Based on study Crime analysis using social media data such as Facebook, Newsfeed articles, Twitter, etc. is becoming one of the emerging areas of research across the world. Using spatial and temporal relationships of social media data, it is possible to extract useful data to analyse criminal activities. The research focuses on implementing textual data analytics by collecting the data from different news feeds and provides visualization. This researchs motivation was identified based on relevant work from different social media crime and Indian government crime statistics. This article focuses on 68 types of different crime keywords for identifying the type of crime. Nae Bayes classification algorithm is used to classify the crime into subcategories of classes with geographical factors, and temporal factors from RSS feeds. Mallet package is used for extracting the keywords from the news-feeds. K-means algorithm is used to identify the hotspots in the crime locations. KDE algorithm is used to identify the density of crime, and also our approach has overcome the challenges in the existing KDE algorithm. The outcome of research validated the proposed crime prediction model with that of the ARIMA model and found equivalent prediction performance.

Crime Analysis and Forecasting using Twitter Data in the Indian Context
Since the late 1990s, social media has added more features and users. Due to the rise of social media, blogs and posts by common people are now a part of mainstream journalism. Twitter is a place where people can share their ideas about culture, society, the economy, and politics. India's large population and rising crime rate make it hard for law enforcement to find and stop illegal activities. This article shows the use of Twitter data to analyse, forecast, and visualise criminal activity using statistical and machine learning models and geospatial visualisation techniques. This helps law enforcement agencies make the best use of their limited resources and put them in the right places. The research aims to present a spatial and temporal picture of crime in India and is split into three parts: Classification, Visualisation, and Forecasting. Crime tweets are identified using a hashtag query argument in the tweepy python package's search_tweets function, followed by substring-keyword classification. The visualisation uses gmaps and bokeh python packages for geospatial and matplotlib for analytical applications. The forecasting portion compares AR, ARIMA, and LSTM to determine the best model for time series forecasting of crime tweet count. 2023 IEEE. -

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of crops: Food and nutritional security
The United Nations established the goal of achieving global food security by 2030 as one of its top sustainable development goals in 2015. The current agricultural harvest is insufficient to accomplish the zero-hunger objective and feed the world's growing population. It would require more extensive and consistent crop production. Gene-editing technologies have recently emerged as viable alternatives to permit precise modifications in genomes with increased efficiency and yield higher agricultural productivity. Due to their simplicity, adaptability, and reproducibility across a diverse variety of species, genetic engineering techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 have become quite prominent. CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology can improve crop yields, quality, stress resistance, food safety, nutritional security, and shelf-life, reduce antibiotic resistance, and hasten plant domestication. Cutting-edge techniques like genome editing (GE) allow for the precise introduction or mutation of specified genes into plant genomes. The advent of programmable nucleases like CRISPR-Cas9 has improved gene editing and potentially improved food production and nutritional security. Knock-out, knock-in, gene activation, gene repression, nuclear rearrangements, base editing, molecular breeding, and epigenome engineering are just a few ways that CRISPR systems can target and change genes. For novel applications in plant genetic engineering, CRISPR-Cas systems can be repurposed for GE toward de-novo speciation; mitochondrial and plastid genome engineering toward enhancing photosynthesis, submergence, and drought tolerance. The versatility of CRISPR-associated systems broadens the scope of crop development applications that they can be used for, especially in improving food and nutritional security, which is the focus of this chapter. 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Critical analysis of inventory management with reference to garments in retailing
The Major focus of this empirical research is to find out the relationships between various factors of inventory management in medium format garment retail shops that affect the sales. Samples of 100 retail shops were surveyed and the data collected was analyzed. Garment retailing is broadly classified under Men??s garment, women??s garments and Kids garments. The garment retail segment has seen good growth in recent years, thanks to the good economic environment in the country. This study is concentrated on medium format garment retailers who are facing lot of problems. Some of the problems are tremendous competitive pressure from large format stores & international brands, increasing overheads and high rentals. To counter these pressures, the medium format retailers must try to consolidate their operations, reduce their overheads like high inventory, faster inventory turnover The empirical results shows that the medium format garment retailers are having a positive outlook even though they are having tough competition. This may be because of the good economy and surge in disposable incomes of the urban population. The study also shows that by managing inventory in a tight manner and using latest technology to manage the store will ensure minimal losses and maximize customer satisfaction leading to higher sales realization. Majority of the retailers placed extra orders to take care of demand uncertainties and errors in forecasting. The average number of customers lost due to non availability of right garment was three customers per day. The study found that there is a mismatch between order frequency and supply frequency leading to higher safety stocks. This must be bridged and suppliers must increase their response time to match retailers order cycles. Shrinkage data was not available with majority of retailers. Medium format retailers are not tracking shrinkage with frequent audits and analysis. Some branded retailers who had some data attributed shrinkage on employee theft and shoplifting as the major cause of shrinkage. Most of the sourcing was done locally since Bangalore is a big manufacturing hub for garments. The mode of transport used was by road using LCVs because of traffic restrictions within the city for HCVs. Almost all retailers had bar code and scanner with offline point of sale software for billing and tracking sales. Latest technologies like radio frequency identification, online software with features like online ordering & tracking were not being used by retailers. The average turnover of medium format retailers was good and their main overhead was the high rentals. Rents in prime locations were exorbitant but unavoidable because these locations were the main shopping areas. Garment retailers must use technology to keep track of their customers, their needs and match tem with right inventory to succeed in this competitive era. -
Critical Analysis of MoS2-Based Systems for Textile Wastewater Treatment
Indiscriminate discharge of toxic organic contaminant-laden wastewater into water bodies is one of the major issues posing a risk to the environment in general and aquatic living systems in particular. Widely used textile dyes are ubiquitous in the effluents emanating from industries. Photocatalysts, due to their efficiency and eco-friendliness, can be effectively used to remove pollutant dyes from the water bodies. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), an emerging co-catalyst, has high photocatalytic activity, strong absorptivity, non-toxicity, and low cost; with a graphene-like structure, it offers functional features similar to graphene: high charge carrier transfer, strong wear resistance, and good mechanical strength. However, in aspects such as cost, abundance, versatile morphologies, and tunable band gap with efficient visible light absorption properties, MoS2 scores over graphene. The present chapter discusses the recent advances in nanostructured MoS2 materials for applications in environmental remediation. Special emphasis has been paid to MoS2 and MoS2-based systems for the photocatalytic degradation of various organic contaminants such as malachite green, methyl orange, rhodamine B, and methylene blue that find extensive use in the textile industry. As a result, MoS2 systems play an essential role in nanocomposites, especially in speeding up photo-induced electron transport and lowering electron recombination rates, making them desirable photocatalysts for the degradation of pollutants. The chapter focuses on addressing SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Clean and Affordable Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). 2025 Moharana Choudhury, Ankur Rajpal, Srijan Goswami, Arghya Chakravorty and Vimala Raghavan. -
Critical analysis of national and international laws in relations to intimate partner violence :
The term violence refers to varied perceptions of unacceptable behaviour. The newlinenature of the act suggests that it is inflicted by the superior over the inferior. newlineThus gender constitutes a significant factor of the study. The research identifies that women are subjected to gender based inequalities in different areas of life newlineand domestic environment is not an exception. Domestic Violence , a manifestation of gender inequality, is prevalent in many forms. The most newlinecommon form of domestic violence is identified as Intimate Partner Violence newline(IPV) by the national and international statistics. newlineThe research is drawn upon the objective to understand the different factors that newlinecontribute to IPV and to critically examine the legal framework for the protection of women against IPV in India. Research adopts a human rights based approach to understand the inferior status of women drawn upon gender newlineinequality and thus to critically examine the legal framework in India for protection of women against IPV. newlineThe study is divided into five chapters which specifically analyses the status of women in the Indian society and the role of law to protect women in intimate relationships. Comparative study of UK and US laws with special reference to international instruments is conducted. Identifying the major drawback of law, the study proves that the existing legal framework is inadequate to protect women from intimate partner violence . newline newline newline -
Critical concepts of restrained domination in signed graphs
A signed graph ? is a simple undirected graph in which each edge is either positive or negative. Restrained dominating set D in ? is a restrained dominating set of the underlying graph |?| where the subgraph induced by the edges across ?[D: V D] and within V D is balanced. The minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating set of ? is called the restrained domination number, denoted by ?r(?). In this paper, we initiate the study on various critical concepts to investigate the effect of edge removal or edge addition on restrained domination number in signed graphs. 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company. -

Critical point equation on almost f-cosymplectic manifolds
Purpose: Besse first conjectured that the solution of the critical point equation (CPE) must be Einstein. The CPE conjecture on some other types of Riemannian manifolds, for instance, odd-dimensional Riemannian manifolds has considered by many geometers. Hence, it deserves special attention to consider the CPE on a certain class of almost contact metric manifolds. In this direction, the authors considered CPE on almost f-cosymplectic manifolds. Design/methodology/approach: The paper opted the tensor calculus on manifolds to find the solution of the CPE. Findings: In this paper, in particular, the authors obtained that a connected f-cosymplectic manifold satisfying CPE with \lambda=\tilde{f} is Einstein. Next, the authors find that a three dimensional almost f-cosymplectic manifold satisfying the CPE is either Einstein or its scalar curvature vanishes identically if its Ricci tensor is pseudo anti?commuting. Originality/value: The paper proved that the CPE conjecture is true for almost f-cosymplectic manifolds. 2021, H. Aruna Kumara, V. Venkatesha and Devaraja Mallesha Naik. -
Critical review on arsenic: Its occurrence, contamination and remediation from water and soil
With the increasing pollution in todays world, importance is being given to solve a problem and do it in a sustainable, eco-friendly manner. Arsenic is a class-1 carcinogen and also causes many other side effects to humans, plants and animals. The utilization of arsenic as wood preservatives, pesticides, or its historical overuse by some military units for rice killing operations has led to the increase in the toxic effects of arsenic like its carcinogenicity, decreased immune response etc. Although conventional methods like coagulation, lime softening, adsorption, membrane technology are effective, they have their disadvantages like additional waste generation, causing increased pollution and are expensive. The better alternative is phytoremediation. Appropriate plants like Brassica juncea, Hydrilla verticilata, Pteris vittata L., Vallisneria natans, can be chosen based on the method of the remediation like phytoextraction, phytostabilization and phytofiltration or phytovoltalization. This review provides the list of a few plants which can be likely chosen for the purpose of both water and soil remediation. Advancements are occurring in bioremediation studies with the development of transgenic plants like transgenic tobacco, transgenic Arabidopsis thali-ana for better phytoremediation. Understanding the mechanism employed by the plant for its uptake/detoxification can aid in the enhancement of the process of remediation with the external supply of phosphorus. Along with this, the proper and safe disposal of plants is crucial for the remediation process. In addition, awareness of this solution to the general public is to be made for its effectiveness. : Author (s). Publishing rights @ ANSF.
