 Abstract

The quick progress in human-computer interaction resulted in creating better input systems like gesture-based systems that allow users to control digital devices through hand movements. The goal of this project named "Smart Gesture Recognition and Cursor Control" targets a complete transformation of computer user interfaces by applying real-time hand signal recognition features. Through integration of OpenCV alongside MediaPipe and PyAutoGUI the system uses natural hand movement detection to generate executable commands which control the cursor and operate the system and handle the windows. The system uses basic camera equipment to keep costs low while deploying across different devices and demanding no specialized hardware requirements. Implementation of the system depends on two crucial components which include tracking hand landmarks through computer vision and executing system commands based on machine learning algorithms. Through the proposed solution users complete different tasks such as cursor movement along with clicks and scrolls that enhance volume adjustment and manage all application windows while tapping into screenshot and window control functions which all function without traditional hardware like mice or keyboards. User accessibility receives major advancement via this technology because it creates a substitute interface that helps people with disabilities avoid conventional hardware constraints. This technology operates as a hygiene measure by creating a touchless computing system that delivers advantages for shared workspaces as well as healthcare and public terminal environments. This research achievement marks a necessary advancement in touchless computing because it enables seamless communication between human body movements and machine reaction. The combination of AI-driven gesture recognition functionality with system control creates better user experiences that will lead to new VR, AR and smart home automation developments. Such technology has the potential to transform digital interaction if additional developments are made which will make computers more efficient and interactive and accessible for users.

 Abstract

This study explores the concept of organizational culture and its profound impact on employee behaviour within the workplace. Organizational culture is defined as the shared values, beliefs, and practices that influence the way employees interact, perform, and contribute to the organization's goals. This research aims to identify the key dimensions of organizational culture and how these dimensions shape employee behaviour, motivation, and overall work performance. The study highlights the importance of a positive organizational culture in fostering a productive and harmonious work environment. By examining various organizational culture models, the research investigates how cultural elements such as leadership style, communication patterns, and employee engagement can directly impact employees' attitudes, job satisfaction, and commitment. Additionally, the research evaluates how employees' behaviours are aligned or misaligned with the core values of the organization and the outcomes that result from this alignment. The findings suggest that organizations with a strong, clearly defined culture tend to have more motivated employees who are engaged, productive, and aligned with organizational goals. On the other hand, a misalignment between organizational culture and employee behaviour can lead to low morale, decreased performance, and higher turnover rates. Therefore, organizations need to prioritize the cultivation of a positive and supportive culture to enhance employee behaviour and drive organizational success. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the critical role that organizational culture plays in shaping employee behaviour and influencing the overall performance of an organization. It recommends that organizations regularly assess and align their culture to meet the evolving needs of both the business and its workforce for long-term growth and success.

 Abstract

Introduction : Forward Head Posture is a common habitual postural malalignment often present since a young age and often observed in individual who spend a lot of time sitting and reading or working at a computer. Many cervical muscles are affected in forward head posture. Musculoskeletal disorders are also related to Forward Head Posture. Due to prolonged use of computers and poor ergonomics along with sedentary lifestyle, forward head posture is common among I.T. workers. So for this reason forward head posture should be identified by measuring the craniovertebral angle. Effectiveness of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) as an adjunct to Conventional Physiotherapy on forward head posture is studied to check whether they can decrease forward head posture in I.T. workers. Method : 42 I.T. workers both male and female in age group 18-30 years having forward head posture with trigger points at upper trapezius and levator scapulae were included and divided into two groups. People with neuromuscular & musculoskeletal disorders and those with history of shoulder arthroplasty or injury were excluded. Group A (INIT along with Conventional Physiotherapy) Group B (Conventional Physiotherapy) for a period of 2 weeks. For Group A, INIT - Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique and Conventional Physiotherapy were given for 4 times per week for 2 weeks and for Group B, Conventional Physiotherapy was given for the same period of time i.e. 4 times per week for 2 weeks . After 2 weeks, Craniovertebral angle was measured again of both the groups. Wilcoxon Signed rank test was performed to test the significance within the pairs and Mann-Whitney U test was performed to test the significance between the differences in the two groups. Result : There was high statistical significance within the pairs of each group (p-value < 0.0001) and there was no significant difference between the differences of each group (p-value 0.212). Mean comparison was done for Craniovertebral angle before and after treatment of each group. It was found that due to additional INIT treatment for one group, mean difference for that group was slightly greater. Conclusion : There is no as such significant difference between INIT as an adjunct to Conventional Physiotherapy and Conventional Physiotherapy on forward head posture. But clinically, INIT as an adjunct to Conventional Physiotherapy is more effective in reducing forward head posture in I.T. workers.

 Abstract

"Real is Rational. Rational is Real" This great quote comes from the great German Idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. He was one of the most influential German philosophers who is read widely even in our contemporary times. In the above quote we clearly understand his philosophy. Here we understand his concept of reality. Like Plato, Hegel too believes that idea is real, in turn, real is rational. Thus whatever can be understood by the use of reason is real. He also says that 'Idea as real reality' can be understood only by application of reason. Anything understood by empirical evidence is not real, rather shadow of real. Hegel is a 'Rationalist', who believes that human emancipation can be realised only by reason. Hegel has used the concept of 'Dialectics' to show the nature of movement of History. History for Hegel is a movement of 'Absolute Idea'. He has given the three laws of Dialectics: 1. Unity of opposites: It means in all the things exists its contradiction. Contradiction is a force of history. 2. Negation of Negation: As per law of history, force negativity gets negated. 3. Quantity changes into Quality: Changes do not happen overnight, first, quantitative changes take place and it gives rise to qualitative change. It may appear new but it is not entirely new. New has its roots in the old. Once contradiction ends, history ends.

 Abstract

Prosthetic arms have significantly improved the quality of life for individuals with amputations, enabling them to regain functionality. However, a critical challenge persists: controlling the precise amount of force when interacting with objects. This project addresses the issue by integrating Electromyographic (EMG) signals, voice commands, flex sensors, and fire sensors into a prosthetic system. The EMG signals are utilized to estimate the user's intended force, enabling the prosthetic to adapt its grip to handle soft objects delicately and firm objects securely, mimicking natural hand functionality. The voice command interface allows for the execution of complex hand movements with greater accuracy by combining muscle signals and spoken instructions, ensuring seamless and intuitive control. Additionally, flex sensors are incorporated to detect the bending of fingers, providing real-time feedback on hand positioning and enhancing the system's ability to perform intricate tasks. A fire sensor is integrated as a safety feature, enabling the prosthetic to detect and respond to hazardous heat or fire situations, thereby protecting the user from potential injuries. This multifaceted design ensures the prosthetic arm offers users improved control, precision, and safety. By allowing users to perform a wide range of tasks with the appropriate force and accuracy, the system enhances their independence and overall quality of life.
