AN EMPIRICAL STUDY TO ANALYSE CUSTOMER BEHAVIOUR FOR BUYING ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Get PDFThe production and distribution of electric cars are gaining momentum as a direct result of contemporary environmental concerns. The year 2018 has fundamentally altered the way in which Indian manufacturers think about electric vehicles as superior replacements for gasoline-powered automobiles. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the variables impacting the commercial success of electric vehicles in India as well as the intention of consumers to acquire such vehicles. There are several aspects of the scenario, such as the regulatory environment, as well as personal and current psychological elements, such as attitude and perception, as well as societal acceptability and consideration levels, which all play a role in the choice of prospective automobile purchasers. The present body of literature on the subject of electric automobiles in the Indian setting will be the focus of this study, and its primary objective will be to provide new information in the area. This study will employ mixed methods to understand the customer buying intention towards electric vehicles. We will conduct the quantitative method first followed by the quantitative study. The quantitative study will help uncover the insights which we could have missed in the quantitative work. The data will be collected via the use of surveys that will be carried out with the aid of Google Forms, and then it will be analysed using an appropriate statistical test. The results of the study will enable us to comprehend the current scenario of customer buying intentions towards EVs in India and draw a conclusion based on it
Feministic approach in the novels of Jane Austen: A Study
Get PDFAusten explored that individual reform is the way to transform society. Consequently, the paper investigates Jane Austen's ideas and views on women, her education & her liberty of thought, and freedom of expression in society, challenging the notion that women could not learn deeply and exist independently as the themes of her novels.

The influence of PMS and PDS oxidants on reaction rate of photocatalytic degradation of p-cresol over TiO2 powder - Advanced Oxidation Process
Get PDFThe degradation of p-cresol is approved out under UV-visible light by TiO2 as a photocatalyst. In the direction of determining the efficiency of the photocatalyst, the, unlike variables, studied built-in the amount of photocatalyst, consequence of oxidants peroxomonosulphate (PMS) and peroxodisulphate (PDS) on the photocatalytic oxidation of p-cresol on elucidation TiO2 surface have been investigating. The efficiencies of these oxidants on photocatalytic degradation of p-cresol are compared with that of PMS and PDS.The investigational results indicate that these oxidants reveal improved rates of mineralization of p-cresol. A response mechanism, linking the production of hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals. In conclusion, this investigation indicated a high potential of TiO2 suspension to remove the high-level concentration of p-cresol under UV radiation
Challenges and Opportunities of Islamic Crowdfunding as a new Innovative mechanism to finance Startups

Islamic crowdfunding emerges as an innovative solution to bridge this gap, providing a Shariah-compliant avenue for entrepreneurs and investors alike
Stock Return and Trade Volume Analysis of Selected Indian Cement Companies' Stocks
Get PDFThis work aims to analyze stock return, Trade volume of select cement companies in India. Ten cement companies are selected based on high market capitalization. www.nse.india.com was used to gather information. Investors, stakeholders, and policymakers all pay close attention to the return of stock and volume analysis. Some previous study shows that there is no relationship between stock return and volume, while others show that there is. The beta, correlation, and Granger causality tests are used by researchers to analyses stock return and volume. The beta value of all firms reveals which stocks are worth investing in. The correlation result clearly reveals that stock return and volume have a positive relationship, but the relationship between stock volume and value is the strongest. The causality test, on the other hand, verifies the same conclusion
A STUDY ON LABOUR COMPETENCE: THE ROLE OF DEMONSTRATION IN SME MANUFACTURING UNITS.
Get PDFThe main contribution is thus to inspect the effects of LP on both dimensions, i.e. productivity and distribution, whereas most of the studies of related nonfiction are restricted to one of those aspects. All approximations are achieved for a large illustration of manufacturing and service Industry with more than five hundred employees and a restricted sample including only unionized firms.
This study evaluated the effect of performance managing practices on employee productivity at the State department of Labour. The performance management practices were comprised of employee's appraisal as well as provision of feedback on employee's performance. The study undertook a descriptive research design, where primary data was collected through structured questionnaires on the targeted population of middle and lower level employees. Respondents was identified and random stratified sampling was undertaken to come up with a sample size of 68 respondents. Questionnaires were answered and returned, which comprised of 67.6% response rate. The study found that there was a strong positive correlation of both employee appraisal and employees performance feedback on employee productivity. The study therefore recommended that organizations to undertake both appraisal for their employees as well as offer feedback on their performance as it increased the productivity of the employees

STUDY OF THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING CALCIUM NITRATE - PRODUCTS OF NITRIC ACID DECOMPOSITION OF CALCIUM- CONTAINING SLUDGE
Get PDFIt is known that calcium nitrate is an effective nitrogen fertilizer that provides high yields in all climatic and soil conditions. The effect of the application of calcium nitrate can be directly related to nitrate nitrogen and calcium in water, either separately, or in most cases as a combined action of these two nutrients.
When calcium nitrate is obtained by decomposition of calcium-containing sludge from the water treatment plant of Farg’onaazot JSC with non-concentrated nitric acid (at least 57% HNO3), intensive, stable foaming is observed, which leads to a decrease in equipment productivity. When developing a technology for obtaining new types of suspended fertilizers based on calcium nitrate, the process of foaming during nitric acid processing of calcium- containing sludge was studied
