Civil Society, Democratic Space, and Social Work
No full textCivil Society envisages the growth of civilization in a way that the society is in “civilized form.” It has been prominent in Social science since time immemorial. Till 18th century, it was synonymous with the state or political society. It was more or less direct translation of Cicero’s Societas’ Civilis and Aristotle’s Koinonia politike. According to Karl Marx, “Civil Society embraces the whole material intercourse of individuals within a definite stage of development of productive forces.” Civil Society is an arena where modern man legitimately gratifies his self-interest and develops his individuality, but also learns the value of group action, social solidarity which educates him for citizenship and equips him to participate in the political sphere of the state. It provides “networks of civic engagement” within which reciprocity is learned and enforced, trust is generated. An active and diverse civil society plays a valuable role in advancement of democracy. It seeks to ensure that citizen’s interests are taken seriously. The social work intervention may not be democratically envisaged until it is promulgated by civic engagement through Civil Society. Methodology: This is a descriptive study which consists of secondary source of data collection based on reports, books, periodic journals, web-based articles. There have been utilized three case studies for reaching the findings of study. This article will highlight on role of civil society in providing democratic space and assisting social workers to ensure inclusive growth through conglomeration of state and individuals
Common Fixed Point Theorems for Weakly Compatible Mapping by (CLR) Property in Dislocated Metric Spaces
No full textIn this paper, we employ the concepts of commutativity, weak compatibility and common limit in the range (CLR) property to derive some common fixed point theorems for six mappings satisfying integral type contractive conditions in complete dislocated metric spaces. Our findings improve and extends some previous results found in the literature.

Common Fixed-Point Theorems for Six Mappings in Symmetric Spaces
No full textIn this paper, we establish a common fixed-point theorem for six mappings in symmetric spaces with compatible mapping of type (E) and occasionally weakly compatible mappings. Our work extends the results of Rajopadhyaya et al. [23,25], Aamri and Moutawakil [2] and other similar results in semi-metric space.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India: A Review
No full textCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept, which states that Private Corporation or public organization has a responsibility to society. It minimizes the cost as well as risks thereby, increasing the brand value and reputation of the company. According to Bowen, “CSR refers to the obligations of businessmen to pursue those policies to make those decisions or to follow those lines of relations which are desirable in terms of the objectives and values of our society.” The CSR activities need to be in tune with effective strategic policies so that the aim of sustainable environmental, social and economic progress may be achieved.
Methodology: This paper is based on qualitative research design consisting of review of literature through secondary sources of data collection. The data has been examined through content analysis process from various books, newspaper articles and journals.
This paper seeks to explain various initiatives taken in the field of CSR along with some key challenges
Health Conditions of Inter-State Migrants in Marine Fisheries: A Study of Kerala
No full textThe marine fisheries are one of the vital occupations in the southern parts of India. This industry is considered to be the foundation of revenue generation for these states. Kerala, being located at the southernmost part of India, is promoting this industry with support from inter-state migrant labourers. The inter-state migrants working in Kerala’s maritime industry are from northern and southern India. As a result of higher salaries and improved working conditions in this unskilled sector, people from the North and Eastern parts of the country have started to migrate to Kerala. Indeed, the continual cash flow in this sector makes it lucrative and invites a large influx of migrant labour to this region. These inter-state migrant labourers work for more than eight hours and spend 10 to 15 days at sea while fishing. They have to stay with heavy pieces of equipment at sea away from shore. This heart-wrenching situation deteriorates their health. They come across various kinds of professional injuries while fishing. Some of these fishermen and fisherwomen encounter long-term effects from those injuries.
On the other hand, catering to their health needs seems challenging due to the lack of adequate medical facilities for migrant labourers. Following the increase in migratory flow, Kerala’s health system has faced several institutional impediments. The lack of identification of migrant labourers cripples the entire process of providing access to a better healthcare system to them. As a result, inter-state migrant labourers in the marine industry are facing various health-related challenges due to the nature of this profession and the apathy of state machinery.
Therefore, this study seeks to explore the health issues affecting the inter-state migrant labourers in Kerala’s marine sector through a mixed-method research design
Integral Type Contraction in Dislocated Metric Spaces
No full textIn this paper, by using the notion of compatibility, weak compatibility, occasionally weak compatibility and commutativity, we establish some common fixed point theorems for six mappings satisfying integral type contractive conditions in complete dislocated metric spaces. Our work improves and extends some earlier results in the literature
Modeling the sorption kinetics of divalent metal ions onto mineral adsorbent using integral method.
No full textA mathematical model has been developed that could predict kinetic parameters for the adsorption of divalent cations (lead, copper and zinc) onto low-grade rock phosphate using experimental data. The experiments were conducted with the initial concentrations of metal ions ranging from 10 to 100 mg/L. The mathematical model is based on application of Freundlich isotherm to mass transfer across the film surrounding the adsorbent. A code in C programming is used to numerically integrate the model equation, and to obtain the best simulated values of Freundlich constants K, N, order of reaction n, and film transfer coefficient, α. It is observed that the adsorption of metal ions on rock phosphate is more sensitive to N,n, and α in comparison to K, and lead is adsorbed more favorably than copper and zinc
Dissolved Gas Analysis of Generator Step Up Transformer in Grati Power Plant Using Random Forest Based Method
No full textTransformers are one of the important electrical equipment in the power system. To prevent some electrical contact on the component in transformers, an insulator or dielectric material is needed likely insulating oil. DGA test is important for diagnosis and deciding the maintenance of transformers. Duval Triangle and Duval Pentagon methods are DGA identification methods with the highest of accuracy compared to other methods. The data used in this article is from the DGA measurement test of transformers GT 3.1 Steam and Gas Power Plant Grati. The DGA data was analyzed by Random Forest based-model of Duval Triangle and Pentagon method, in accordance to IEEE C57.104-2019 and IEC 60599-2015 guidelines. Random Forest based-model has the best performance in implemented Duval method than others. The result of DGA identification using Random Forest based-model showed PD and S for Duval Triangle, and S for Duval Pentagon and from the results of identification using the Duval Triangle and Pentagon it does not always show the same results on the same test sample, so it is necessary to identify the history of DGA testing to get accurate results. This article presents the use of the combined Duval Triangle and Pentagon for diagnosis transformers
Common Fixed Point Theorems in Dislocated Cone Metric Spaces
No full textJungck and Rhoades [20] introduced the notion of weakly compatible mappings, which is weaker than compatibility. Many interesting fixed point theorems for weakly compatible maps satisfying contractive type conditions have been obtained by various authors. In this paper, notion of dislocated cone is introduced and a common fixed point theorem for three pairs of weakly compatible mappings satisfying a rational inequality without any continuity requirement which generalize several previously known results due to Imdad and Ali [15], Goyal ([6], [7]), Goyal and Gupta ([8], [9]), Imdad-Khan [16], Jeong-Rhoades [17] and others.
