ICT: An Innovative Move to Promote Gender Equality and Sustainable Future for Women in India
Get PDFIndian civilisation is male-dominated, and women's efforts were disregarded. ICT has brought a glimpse of hope and a wealth of viable answers to this imbalance, which is why women's empowerment has been prioritised. ICT can boost gender equality. Digital technology can help eliminate gender gaps by boosting access to welfare, ID, financial services, and information. Technology can remove many of the obstacles women encounter, opening up new economic options and allowing them to join the workforce, improving their future. Digital technology has impacted how we organize, the strategies we use, breaking down boundaries, eroding state power, producing information, and developing unfathomable solidarity networks. Digital revolution changes how people live, work, and interact. Globally, gender equality is important. ICTs have added additional dimensions. ICTs improve service delivery, government, and poor populations' opportunities. Gender-neutral ICT policy can boost women's employment. SDG 5 aspires to increase the use of ICTs to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. ICTs are continuing to change the way we live and work. For women, girls, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, using technology to advance gender equality and women's empowerment is critical. This article examines ICT-enabled networking for gender equality. It also discusses policy framework for gender equality through ICT and goes on to suggest ways to improve the conditions leading to Gender equality

Analysis the Effect of Social Media on University Education Through COVID-19 Pandemic Using the Naive Bayes Algorithm
Get PDFThe spread of the COVID-19 around the world has led to changes in social practices and how institutions operate. The education sector was not immune to these changes, as the epidemic imposed unprecedented measures that led to the suspension of work in many government institutions, and the application of social distancing. It should be noted that the educational process is based on interaction between individuals, which contradicts the principles of social distancing, and threatens the educational process and exposes it to collapse. As a result, educational institutions have sought to find alternatives to traditional education, which is embodied in the adoption of the e-learning style through various electronic platforms that support the educational process. In this paper, we will discuss the extent of the impact of social media on university education by taking a sample of Al-Qasim Green University teachers using the Naive Bayes algorithm. Through this study, it was concluded that the social media greatly influences university education, with an accuracy of about 95%

A Comparative Study on Range Free Localization in Wireless Sensor Network
Get PDFLocalization is one in everything about most fundamental examination subjects regarding the remote sensor organizations (WSNs), because of most of the information estimated and disseminated by the sensors are useful once sensors areas are archived. During this paper, a spread free localization recipe for finder situating is anticipated. Its upheld sensor conveyed network model, inclusion range, bounce tally between each indicator and anchor, and improvement inside the base mean sq. mistake, that processes coefficients for distance assessment among sensors and anchors. Inside the projected strategy, the easiest steady for each jump tally is figured with disconnected cycle and town procedure. At that point, these coefficients are kept in each locator information and that they are utilized for restriction inside the reasonable setting. Unlike some existing positioning methods, this recipe does not rely on sensors to maintain a constant distance assessment. It is anticipated that all sensors will use the receiving wire for their normal data transmission in the proposed approach. High exactitude in geological organize choosing, less traffic load, and especially reasonable execution inside the unvaried and non-homogeneous setting are the chief imperative choices of this recipe. Recreation results show that the projected equation has a reasonable position assurance and decreased traffic load for WSNs, as contrasted and some existent situating plans. Without a doubt, the projected procedure improves confinement exactitude and lessens traffic load simultaneously
A Study on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as Emerging Tool in Action Research
Get PDFStructural equation modeling (SEM) depicts one of the most salient research methods across a variety of disciplines, including educational management. Recent research advocates the use of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) as an attractive tool in action research. The purpose of this paper is to systematically examine how PLS-SEM has been applied in action research with the aim of investigating the effect of teacher’s leadership styles (transformational and transaction) and student’s motivational factors (intrinsic and extrinsic) on student engagement for implementation of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in classrooms as well as explore the mediating role of motivational factors of student between the relationship of teacher’s leadership styles and student engagement. A cross-sectional survey design was used for the study featuring a self-administrated questionnaire among the students of some selected schools in Bangladesh. The transactional leadership style of teachers influences student engagement, intrinsic, and extrinsic motivation while the transformational leadership style of teachers influences the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of the student. Both motivational factors mediated the relationship between leadership styles and student engagement. This study contributes to the literature by providing teachers with the updated guidelines for action research by using PLS-SEM. The study also suggests the way for increasing student engagement for CLT implementation in classrooms
Organic Synthesis Of Silver Nanoparticles And Their Potential Application In The Treatment Of Dental Caries
Get PDFTaking in consideration potential applications in alternative medicine silver nanoparticles are being synthesized by various methods based on physical, chemical and biological techniques. Biological techniques are comparatively cheaper and environmentally friendly, these techniques employ the use of microbial cells and organic compounds such as lipids, proteins, plant materials, plant extracts, etc. In the present study we preferred an organic method using aqueous extract of Psoralia corylifolia leaves, as these leaves are used in Ayurveda for treatment of dental caries. These organically synthesized SNPs were characterized by UV-Visible absorption spectra, FTIR, XRD and TEM techniques. Average size of SNPs was found to be about 26 nm. Antimicrobial activity of confirmed SNPs was checked against some oral pathogens viz MIC was determined by microtiter broth dilution method. Biocompatibility of SNPs was checked by MTT [3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay. Results of our study showed that Psoralia corylifolia aqueous leaf extract is a good reducing agent for synthesis of SNPs from Silver nitrate, and these SNPs have significant antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens under study as well as they are highly biocompatible

Nuclear Emergency: A Review of Radioactivity in Human Ecosystem
Get PDFOne of the serious impacts on the environment and human health is the proper evaluation of radioactivity from elevated naturally occurring isotopes or those from industrial activities. Radionuclides produced from nuclear explosions and nuclear facilities when released into the environment may reach the human body through the food pathways.
Radionuclides from environmental sources have the ability to cause a hazard to human health through food sources. There is the need for radiological estimation for transfers from the vegetative covers through the human ecosystem. The assessment models are subdivided mainly into three categorical states; that is from the soil-plant transfer, the transfer to animals, and spatial models.
Radionuclides may enter the human ecosystem through atmospheric releases from nuclear facilities. Freshwater contamination happens via the release of water bodies which may affect aquatic lives.
Various assessment models have been developed based on the fallout deposition from the Chernobyl accident, however, the distinct uncertainties involved in propagating this data to a completely different geographical location cannot be ignored.
This is a review paper that analysis the Absalom model, its application in system assessment models, and how they can be applied in country-specific data to achieve a realistic model prediction in food safety from radionuclide release and the need for further research
