 Abstract

Traffic congestion on roads occurs when space becomes shorter as compare to traffic. Drivers locked there for hours and do not able to get out of it. Long traffic hours directly or indirectly affects mental health, spoils quality of life and increases anxiety and stress among drivers and commuters on road. The present investigation is the study of traffic congestion and its psychological implications among drivers. The sample consists of 900 drivers of the tricity and subjects were administered with a demographic data, mental health inventory, quality of life and DAS-21. After administering the tests the scoring was done with the help of manual and further SPSS 25 version was used for the analysis. Descriptive statistics and correlation was calculated. Results revealed that there exist positive and significant relationship between mental health and quality of life (r= .329, p<0.01) among drivers. Further it was also found that mental health was negatively and significantly related with depression (r= -.371, p<0.01), anxiety (r= -.331, p<0.01), and stress (r= -.344, p<0.01) among drivers.

Abstract Carbon emission is one of the biggest problem that the world is facing today. Every nation is trying to reduce their carbon emissions and making it as their part of governance. Yet the problem persists. Carbon sequestration is one natural phenomenon where the carbon-di-oxide is fixed in the soil in the form of organic complex compounds and resides there for a long time. Major contributors for the sequestered carbon are the forest covers on the landmass. Therefore in the present study the ability of forest in sequestering the carbon was calculated in an abandoned industrial area near hospet which has been left for more than 5 years with very less anthropogenic activities.

 Abstract

Women are the integral entity of every country of the world. Just like her overall development and growth decides the future of that country similarly her living conditions, health and social status reflects the mentality and health of that society. With a view to find out what is the present mental health status of women in this current pandemic of COVID-19, this study was undertaken mainly with respect to home makers as majority of the Indian women today are playing a central role in COVID-19 Lockdowns. Present paper tries to put forth a small study on the mental status of women, homemakers especially in the age group 24 to 54 years, living in one of the areas of Jabalpur city. �Home makers� who are the backbone of the family, yet remain unnoticed and are mistreated by our societies. Even though the number seems to be small, yet it reveals magnificent results about the conditions of housewives. The present study primarily aims to describe the qualitative description of the behavior and events observed. The investigators collected data in the form of some narrative description for understanding and deriving necessary interpretation about the quality of the behavior and characteristics of things observed. From further analysis, it can be interpreted that mood disturbances seem to be a chief mental problem in the case of women. Despite being healthy, normal and not suffering from the disease, nor having any affective, these housewives showed Psychological waves which should be considered alarming from the point of view of mental health. This research paper emphasizes the life uncertainties psychological distress and economic worries that prevail genuinely the mental status of housewives.

 Abstract

Seismic design techniques today enable structural engineers themselves to design buildings with different types of earthquake safety levels in line with the various demands of society. However, the design goal is basically limited to a relatively short period of time, i.e. to secure the service life of each building. Aspects of building sustainable and strong cities that recover quickly, including long-lived buildings, are not generally considered. Powerful earthquakes occur at regular intervals that are larger than individual buildings or people's lives. On the other hand, city life is clearly long-lived, just as seismic action is stronger than design action, and can only cause serious damage to a building designed for their life. Although multi-storey buildings with floors are in danger of collapsing due to natural earthquakes, their construction is still in a developing region like India. Vehicle parking area services are required to be provided at the ground level and the office does not need to be wary of such buildings from the engineering community. Due to the ease of high-speed computers, the use of software in civil engineering has greatly reduced the complexity of various aspects of project analysis and design. The aim of the project is to design and analysis a residential building by using the well-known software SAP2000.

 Abstract

The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of materials in geotechnical applications and increase the strength of soil .The soil stabilization can be explained as the alteration of the soil properties by chemical or physical means in order to enhance the engineering quality of soil. The main objective s of the soil stabilization is to increase the bearing of the soil, its resistance to weathering process and soil permeability . The long-term performance of any construction project depends on the soundness of underlying soils. Unstable soils can create significant problems for pavements or structure, therefore soil stabilization techniques are necessary to ensure the good stability of soil so that it can successfully sustain the load of the superstructure e specially in case of soil which are highly active, also it saves a lot of time and millions of money when compared to the method of cutting out and replacing the unstable soil .This paper deals with the complete analysis of the improvement of soil properties and its stabilization

 Abstract

This paper deals with the challenges of teaching literature or language online during this COVID 19 pandemic. In the following paper, it can be observed that there are few problems associated with online teachings such as digital and data divide, technical illiteracy, impersonal teaching, and outdated pedagogical practices. In this paper, certain suggestions are made on how to make online learning free from deficiency by improving and improvising internet facility, pedagogy, and training teachers and students in accessing virtual classrooms. Literature and language form one of the bases of society and teaching and learning them in a virtual platform poses a huge challenge to teachers and students The students are slowly losing their interest and seem to have no motivation to attend any classes online and some students who want to attend they do not have the necessary facility to have access to online classes. This kind of challenge not only disrupts the Indian education system but also challenges it to develop and adopt new technology with changing time.

 Abstract

In a progressive society, it has been gradually realized that women along with the men play a significant role in making the country prosper and as well as raising the standard of living. There has been an evidence of tremendous change in the status of women with increasing their engagement in labour market, even though the inclination towards their social protection and social security is still under the question mark and unsatisfactory. The usual phenomenon behind this mindset of the society is the perception of women as housewives, caregivers, mothers and secondary sources of household activities. But now the time has come to change this traditional perception of the society. The government of India, in order to ensure gender neutrality has passed number of enactments which provide employment benefits such as wage benefits, better working conditions, maternity benefits and social security. Maternity benefits act as facilitator which believed to create an environment that assist and improve a women worker�s capability to maintain balance in work and family engagements.

 Abstract

In India rural women play a major role in the production of agricultural goods and animal husbandry resulting in 30.02% Workforce Participation Rate, which is higher in comparison to that of women in urban areas i.e. 25.51% (Census of India, 2011). Due to the prevalence of male dominancy, social stigmas and gender discrimination, these women working in the unorganized sectors are deprived from directly linking with the market as well as in decision making on economic participation. As the women have little access to financial services, many Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) have taken a noble step in Rajasthan for promoting women empowerment with a holistic approach. In this study, the researcher will make an effort to highlight the major interventions of Ibtada NGO in uplifting the status of rural women through formation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), sensitizing these beneficiaries on financial literacy and generating leadership among women entrepreneurs thus building a better future for herself and her entire family.
