Abstract NBFCs play an important role in providing financial services to the different sectors of the economy. It boosts up the economic well being of the country by providing diversified and dynamic financial services for the every corners of the country. At present socio-economic scenario it is utmost important to undertake serious research works regarding various aspects of the Non-Banking Financial Companies. Performance variation among different Indian NBFCs regarding various parameters is one of the most important areas of study at present, in terms of socio-economic welfare of the nation. Under this research work, researchers have tried to empirically study the performance variations among top 5 NBFCs regarding PBDIT, Secured and Unsecured loan advances, by applying Single Factor ANOVA. The study concludes on the basis of mixed results, showing statistically significant performance variation in some cases and not statistically significant performance variation in other case. The study also looks into the probable causes of the results obtained through the statistical tests conducted as a part of the research objectives. Keywords: NBFC, NPA, PBDIT, Secured and Unsecured Loan Advances & Single Factor ANOVA. JEL Classification: C12, C88, G23, Y10.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper explores the theme of Alienation in Anita Desai's Cry,The Peacock(1963) and Kiran Desai's Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard (1997). The theme of alienation is a pivotal idea in post-modern Literature. It has been being used in theological, philosophical, sociological and Psychological writings. Alienation is a state of man's contradiction with his milieu. It alludes to the polarization among man and nature and the breaking down of man's dreams of joy. It also reflects a mirrors a condition of man's separation from himself, with a common feeling of depression or a sentiment of avoidance that goes with any conduct where the individual is constrained to pointlessly. The people are compelled to control individuals and circumstances as per the social requests, while feeling unequipped for controlling their activities. Alienation is an old phenomenon but it has accepted alarming extents in the present age. Several factors have achieved this condition of awareness. The feeling of alienation is characteristic in man as he is inclined to practically all the physical and mental assaults of society and its controllers. The contrary impacts of alienation lead man either to end it all or to see himself as not in excess of automation deprived of any close to home positioning or individuality.

 Abstract

The real-world applications related to digital signal processing demand high performance computation. In such applications we use the various types of filters and one such type of filter is Adaptive Finite impulse Response filter. There are many architectures implementing the Adaptive Finite impulse Response filter. The architecture of Adaptive FIR is mainly composed of the error computing and weight updating modules. Because intensive computation is involved in practical applications, high ef?ciency and low-cost hardware is a must. Hence here a fixed-point finite impulse response adaptive filter is proposed using approximate distributed arithmetic (DA) circuits. In this design, the radix-8 booth algorithm is used to reduce the number of partial products in the DA architecture. In order to reduce the area, Kogge stone adders are used. As a result, the delay and power consumption of the proposed design are significantly reduced. Both the error computing schemes and weight updating schemes will be designed using Verilog.

 Abstract

Background: Today is the age of information and technology, in which social media playing an important role. Although social media has a positive effect on a person but its more use also has negative effects. Several studies have revealed an association between more use of social media and poor emotional state. It is shown that social media can affect people differently. Objective: Purpose of this present study to observe the impact of social media on mental health-related to depression, anxiety, and stress of adolescents. Method: The survey method was used in this study. A sample comprised of 100 students out of which 50 students who use social media for less two hours and 50 students who use social media for more than two hours was drowned randomly selected from the different schools of Aligarh district in the age range between 16 to 18 years. Depression, anxiety, and stress scales developed by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) were used to data collection. For analyzing the collected data, mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to see the impact of social media on the mental health of adolescents. Result: The result shows that there was a significant difference between adolescents who use social media for less than two hours and adolescents who use social media for more than two hours on depression, anxiety, and stress level. Adolescents who use social media for more than two hours received a higher mean score on depression, anxiety, and stress (17.5, 18.02 & 17.56) as compared to the adolescents who use social media for less than two hours ( 9.96, 10.08 & 9.12). The t-value of depression, anxiety, and stress level was 5.39, 5.88, and 6.86, respectively. These t-values were very high to the tabular t-value at 0.01 level of significance. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that there was a significant difference between adolescents who use social media for less than two hours and adolescents who use social media for more than two hours on depression, anxiety, and stress level. Hence, we can say that adolescents who use social media for more than two hours are poor mentally healthy than adolescents who use social media for less than two hours.

 Abstract

Bearing condition monitoring has received considerable attention in rotating machines. The Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring is proved to be an important method in order to monitor the bearings. The advantage of AE monitoring over vibration monitoring is that the AE monitoring can detect the growth of subsurface cracks whereas the vibration monitoring can detect defects only when they appear on the surface. The present work involves studying the variation of AE signals obtained from spindle bearing housing of a lathe for various cutting conditions. AE signal was acquired during turning of S. G. Cast iron using multi-layer coated carbide tool. From the AE signals obtained, it was observed that the AE parameters varied in accordance with variation in the load on the bearing. Also, it was observed that as the cutting conditions increases there is an increase in the signal level of AE parameters. This is due to the increase in load acting on the bearing at higher cutting conditions.

The research was conducted in Madurai, Tamilnadu, India. Qualitative anthropological research techniques were used to collect empirical data presented in the paper. The main purpose of this research was to highlight and discuss the problems of senior citizens in the context of bio social issues. This attempt has been made to explore the senior citizen anticipation from the government about their welfare as well as financial security. Modernization has affected the lives of the older people immensely, leading to various issues. These issues include social isolation, social mobility, feminization of aging, dependency, and authoritative problems, etc.. Hence, the research concluded that although there were many issues which made the life of senior citizens problematic, they still lived a satisfied life as they were economically independent. The major pastimes included; time spent with their children and grandchildren, parks and Temples as places of socialization and religion which played an essential role in the lives of senior citizens.

1 Abstract; After 68 years of Independence, too many of India�s Citizens are shackted by the lack of quality education that enables them to be free and Independent. Our earlier generations taught to end the injustice impaired by the British Raj. We now need a second freedom movement that ensures equality of rights and opportunity by all citizens of India particularly for scheduled caste children who look for the access of getting education. In this context has been constructed a module on quality improvement of education of scheduled caste children which discusses socio-cultural issues and problems. Therefore, this module deals with the Educational policies, Education and society, Curriculum development, School and reproduction of inequality, Cultural capital and learning. Education should not be seen in a static model. Like society, education also must follow the model of dynamic equilibrium. There are pressures from new subjects.

 Abstract

The AC and Thermo-drain are the typical equipment used in the buildings to maintain the climate in the building. The Air conditioner (AC) typically cools the air inside with the help of thermostat containing a radiator and cools the temperature inside a room. The thermo-drain on the other hand uses water for cooling with the help of a radiator containing thermostat and passes the cool water thoroughly through pipes which indeed reduces the temperature of the room. In India, we've hot summers and buildings are un-insulated. They absorb the solar heat and emit it inside. The interior surfaces get heated and radiate heat. Sufficient evidence has been gathered till date to show that un-insulated buildings in India absorb radiation during the day and release it within the night.
