Abstract

Suicidal hangings are rarely encountered by crime scene investigators, while evidence of suicidal deaths are usually more common and recognizable. There have been cases where the victim has attempted to disguise suicidal hanging as a case of homicide with suspicion of foul play. Sometimes it poses difficult challenges to investigating officers. Most of the reported cases of suicidal deaths staged as homicide involve death by gun shot. Few authors have reported suicidal deaths staged as accidents. Most of such suicides staged as accidents involved the use of motor vehicle. The following case is a case of a suicidal hanging in which the victim has tied his upper limbs behind his back, which creates a suspicion of homicide. But the findings from the scene of crime investigation and autopsy made it evident that the manner of death by hanging was suicidal in nature.

Abstract

Single biometric cannot provide much accuracy as compared to multibiometric, so multibiometric is preferred for real world personal identification application that needs high standard security. Multibiometric combines two or more single biometrics in order to get the higher accuracy. However, among various biometric technology palmprint identification has been proved more efficient and easy to implement. This paper reveals the idea to perform the multibiometric by combining the feature of the left and right palmprint. This framework combines three kinds of scores generated by left and right palmprint images to perform matching score level fusion. Initially the score is generated from the left palmprint images followed by right palmprint images and finally the left palmprint is compared with the reverse right palmprint to obtain the third score. All the three scores are combined and based on final score the subject is authenticated.

The nature of the left and right palmprint images is carefully taken into account by proposed algorithm, which allows it to properly exploit the similarity between the left and right palmprint images. Moreover, as compared to the previous palmprint identification method, the proposed weighted fusion scheme allowed perfect identification performance.

Abstract

The current research paper attempts to investigate the effects of problem based learning and conventional learning on critical thinking ability of senior secondary schools in economics. The study was experimental in nature and the participants of the study comprised 62 students of class XII selected via purposive sampling technique. The participants were divided into two groups i.e., experimental group and control group (31 students in each group). Self-developed achievement test of economics based on critical thinking ability was administered to collect relevant data. Results of the study exposed that problem based learning contribute significantly on development of critical thinking ability among senior secondary school students in economics. Moreover, significant difference was found between two groups of students exposed to problem based learning and conventional method in developing their critical thinking ability. Thus, problem based learning is better than conventional learning to develop critical thinking ability among the higher secondary school students in economics.

Abstract

The combined effect of microbial pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt), and insect parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was evaluated for the management of rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). This parasitoid is very useful in testing host-parasitoid interaction due to its high fecundity and short generation time. The host location and acceptance by parasitoid female, investigated by choice and no choice tests, showed marked preference towards later host instar larvae of C. cephalonica. Parasitoid induced mortality of Bt-intoxicated and Bt- reared host larvae was also investigated. C. cephalonica mortality was highest (72.00 ± 3.26%) and synergistic when host larvae were exposed to acute Bt treatment in conjunction with the parasitoid. A combined treatment of Bt with H. hebetor is an effective strategy in integrated pest control programmes of C. cephalonica and other stored grain pests.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of Vocational Education & Training(VET) in India and its role in building capacities for new-age skills, especially at the Base of Pyramid (BoP). The primary objective is to identify the projected skill requirements of the country, the initiatives taken by the government/ other agencies and the explore the mechanism to plug the rising gap between the skill requirements and the initiatives by different agencies. The paper qualitatively investigates the key players involved in VET and the role of emerging technologies in bridging the skill gap. The futuristic technological interventions like Robotic Process Automation (RPA) using Indian languages is highlighted using a proposed model. The unique point of differentiation of the study is the proposed integrative model that attempts to weave-in the diverse stakeholders who encompass the eco-system of skill based vocational education and training for leadership at the BoP

Abstract

The workplace of the future promises to be quite different from present days. The technological strides of recent years including digitalization, block-chains, artificial intelligence and other forms of technology would herald a new VUCA world. This would usher in new job opportunities on one hand while wiping out thousands of present day jobs. India aspires to be among top three economic superpowers by 2030 with a USD 5 trillioneconomy by 2025. However, the future workforce seems woefully unprepared for being industry-ready to meet the challenges of Industry 4.0. Recent reports suggest that half of the 310 million school graduates that would form the next generation workforce will lack required job skills to lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Hence, it is imperative for the Indian education system to make a shift in teaching-learning process at secondary school level to mitigate the impending challenge. Defining the new models of education thus becomes important to dole-out firms that are struggling to stay competitive. The current paper attempts to present an integrated model of general and vocational education at secondary level to dramatically transform the skill landscape. It would facilitate designing new models of education that reimagines the existing eco-system to embed the new-age skills among young learners. This seminal work attempts to foster a comprehensive and unified approach to close the skill-gap and aid multiple socio-economic outcomes to bridge the staggering income divide and inequality among society.

Abstract

This study reports the effect of surface and subsurface drip irrigation with municipal wastewater and groundwater on growth and yield of cauliflower. Eight treatments were evaluated: surface drip (T1), subsurface drip (non-pressure compensating) (T2), bioline subsurface drip (T3) and bioline (pressure-compensating) surface drip (T4) using groundwater, and the same drip systems using primarily treated municipal wastewater (i.e. T5–T8). Results showed maximum leaf area index and ischolar_main length density (5.64 and 5.25 cm/cm3 respectively) of cauliflower in subsurface drip system having pressure-compensating lateral applying wastewater and minimum (4.48 and 4.05 cm/ cm3 respectively) in surface drip system having inline lateral applying groundwater. The highest curd yield (79.67 tonne/ha) was found with subsurface pressurecompensating drip with wastewater application, whereas lowest (59.01 tonne/ha) was recorded in case of inline surface drip with groundwater. The cauliflower curd yield increased by 7.58% and 8.49% under surface and subsurface pressure-compensating drip laterals with wastewater application, with a saving of 30.1% nitrogen, 14.14% phosphorus and 33.7% potassium, compared to groundwater-irrigated treatments.
