Phishing attacks use email or malicious websites to get personal information by acting as a trustworthy organization. Users are tricked into disclosing their information either by providing it through a web form or by downloading and installing hostile software. The attacker can then use this information for identity theft or fraud. This paper proposes an antiphishing tool. Password protector is described as a browser extension tool, which transparently produces a different password to improve the security of passwords and defend against phishing. This tool appends some generated secret hash code to the original password that converts the original password into secure password.Keywords

Objective: Word embedding models were most predominantly used in many of the NLP tasks such as document classification, author identification, story understanding etc. In this paper we make a comparison of two Word embedding models for semantic similarity in Tamil language. Each of those two models has its own way of predicting relationship between words in a corpus. Method/Analysis: The term Word embedding in Natural Language Processing is a representation of words in terms of vectors. Word embedding is used as an unsupervised approach instead of traditional way of feature extraction. Word embedding models uses neural networks to generate numerical representation for the given words. In order to find the best model that captures semantic relationship between words, using a morphologically rich language like Tamil would be great. Tamil language is one of the oldest Dravidian languages and it is known for its morphological richness. In Tamil language it is possible to construct 10,000 words from a single ischolar_main word. Findings: Here we make comparison of Content based Word embedding and Context based Word embedding models respectively. We tried different feature vector sizes for the same word to comment on the accuracy of the models for semantic similarity. Novelty/Improvement: Analysing Word embedding models for morphologically rich language like Tamil helps us to classify the words better based on its semantics.Keywords

Objective: This paper proposes new integration to reduce Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in grid connected system. Methods/statistical Analysis: We implementANFIS based controller technique is used in grid integration to reduce THD content. Simulation results shows that ANFIS controller has less THD and good efficiency when compared to that of FUZZY logic controller. Findings: Now a day’s world energy consumption is increasing due to commercialization of world. It reduces non renewable energy resources, because lot of energy generation requires more conventional sources. To meet these increasing loads renewable energy generation is implementing, and many are going to get maximum power extraction from available source. In distribution energy resources solar power generation plays an important role. Solar power generation depends on irradiation level availability. Power generation from (Photovoltaic) system is highly fluctuating because irradiation continuously changes based on climatic conditions. PV system grid integration involves a converter; it injects harmonics source side and grid side. Therefore, ANFIS control can be used to improve the THD in grid connected PV systems. A comparison of PI, hysteresis control and fuzzy logic control, ANFIS control gives the feasibility of the method. Thus the proposed scheme ensures that the THD in the injected grid current remains within the specified limits. MATLAB/Simulink model is developed for the proposed work. Simulation results are given to show the overall system performance. Applications: Efficiency and overall performance is good compared to FUZZY controller.Keywords

Each chapter of this book highlights a unique social problem, potential reasons behind it and plausible solutions to eradicate the same. If not addressed, these problems may plunge the nation into darkness and lead the country into socio-economic backwardness. The editors of the book made a good attempt to compile 15 articles on various burning issues the Indian society has been facing. One of the authors elaborated the evil of corruption which is the most pertinent issue today. He remarks that corruption in a civilised society is like a deadly disease, which will lead to disastrous consequences for the country in general and the society in particular, if not prevented through proper measures.- An Evaluation of Financial Inclusion in India:Some Policy Insights

The Microfinance Review, Vol 9, No 2 (2017), Pagination: 1-14Abstract
In the era of digital financial inclusion, one of the main challenges faced by the policymakers is to provide affordable, instantaneous and user-friendly access to financial products and services to the common man. Though there has been an impressive growth in terms of bank branches, Business Correspondents and Kisan Credit Cards amongst others during the last five decades, cent per cent financial inclusion in India appears to be a difficult target to achieve. By following the international best practices, Indian banks may be rated at regular intervals on their efforts to facilitate financial inclusion. The policymakers may seriously think of including moneylenders as part of microfinance institutions, or small finance banks or any other institutional mechanism, as they are now an indispensable part of rural India due to the farmers’ proximity to them and their lack of awareness of various initiatives taken by the government. There should be a thrust on demand-side rather than the supply-side alone to make financial inclusion a real success.Keywords

Drought is as natural as climate and its variability. We are motivated to conduct the present research study with a special focus on risk coping strategies of farmers in rain-fed agricultural States of Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh – in three out of the 'Big Five' States in India.
Through primary data, we found that there is a substantial decline of 71.8 per cent in the total income of the respondents in the three study regions during the drought period. The extent of inequality in the incomes in the sample households is also high at 0.87 (Gini-coefficient) during the normal rainfall year and this declined to 0.25 during the drought period indicating that the inequality in the income distribution of the sample group is relatively lower during the drought period. While large and medium farmers households are the worst affected due to occurrence of drought, small and marginal farmers are relatively unscathed as they might have depended on other sources of income during the drought period.
Most of the farmers could not repay the loans as they are unable to receive remunerative prices for their agricultural produce and some of them are expecting loan waivers from the government. Our results showed that adopting crop saving irrigation followed by cultivating long duration crops, and using family labour to reduce cost of cultivation are the most preferred strategies embraced by the farmers when they face early drought situation.

The definition of poverty has evolved from consumption of calories to deprivation of income to lack of assets to sustainable livelihoods (Carney, 1998; DFID, 1999) to a more recent multidimensional poverty index (Alkire and Santos, 2014). Among the strategies for poverty alleviation, the Graduation Approach pioneered by Hashemi and De Montesquiou (2011) on behalf of Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) is the most popular one. This approach lays emphasis on promotion of livelihoods, social protection and better access to microfinance for the poor. While declaring 2005 as the year of micro credit, Kofi Annan, the then United Nations Secretary-General, remarked, ‘sustainable access to microfinance helps alleviate poverty by generating income, creating jobs, allowing children to go to school, enabling families to obtain health care, and empowering people to make the choices that best serve their needs’.Keywords

In this paper, we examined the sustainability of Self-Help Group-Bank Linkage Programme (SHG- BLP) in India by collecting primary data on 133 SHGs across three states namely, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha. By constructing a composite index on various forms of sustainability of the SHGs, we found that about two-thirds of the SHGs have a ‘medium level of sustainability’ and over one-fifth of them have a ‘high level of sustainability.’ While Andhra Pradesh and Odisha (with low and medium levels of NPAs, respectively, compared to the national average) possess SHGs with ‘medium to high’ composite sustainability, Madhya Pradesh (with a high level of NPAs) has SHGs associated with ‘low to medium’ composite sustainability. Our findings have policy implications for the stakeholders since the lower level of NPAs reflects the longer sustainability of the SHG-BLP.Keywords

Anthocephalus cadamba, Rubiaceae, is a medicinal herb of great importance for traditional applications against several disease kinds. Because of the range of compounds, the genus Anthocephalus is regarded as one of the most significant genus utilised in many medical systems. The plant was chemically investigated for its phytoconstituents in the current analysis, Anthocephalus cadamba. The results for steroids, flavanoids, tannins and glycosides were shown to be positive. Bacterial species, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtiliis and Escherichia coli, have been moderately actively monopolised. Antifungal activity at doses of 100mg/ml, 300mg/ml with fungal organisms, was observed in the ethanol leaves extract. Plant ethanol extract had a substantial impact on the hydrogen peroxide radical activity of scavenging and less effects than the standard of nitric oxide radical activity.
