 Abstract

An ASL (American Sign Language) recognition system that employs machine learning is an innovative technology designed contribute to bridging the communication gap that exists between the environment and the deaf difficult of hearing persons. This system utilizes advanced algorithms and neural networks to analyze the intricate in body postures, facial gestures, and hand movements that make up sign language. By processing video or sensor data of sign language users, the machine learning model can identify and interpret these gestures, subsequently converting them into written text. The potential impact of such a system is profound. It enables those who use sign language as their primary mode of communication to interact with computers, smartphones, and other devices more seamlessly. Additionally, it facilitates better communication with individuals who do not understand sign language, as the system can bridge the language barrier by providing real-time translations.This technology promotes inclusivity and accessibility, ultimately enriching the lives of individuals with hearing impairments and fostering a more connected and understanding society. As machine learning and artificial intelligence continue to advance, so too does the potential for ASL recognition systems to become even more accurate and widespread in their applications.

 Abstract

There is no denial that India is becoming a hotspot for any organization planning to expand their footprint owing to the booming market up for grabs. But to gain a share of this pie is no easy feat, as managing a diverse workforce such as in India to achieve their business goals requires an able middle management. One which understands the changing work dynamics and adapts their strategy to transform into results. The onset of the post liberalization India certainly paved way for the business and management skills to get their due importance, they were predominantly focused on local periphery of sales and operations with organizational culture and other factors taking a backseat. But three decades later, today India's managerial diaspora is making a pivotal transition into a powerhouse and is now competing at global stage, displaying their calibre through leadership and senior management roles. One such major instance is the study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on how Indian-origin CEOs are making their mark on the global stage, with 10% of the CEOs in the Fortune Global 500 companies being of Indian descent. This empirical evidence showcases the significant impact this new cohort of management have in shaping the global business landscape. This number is only bound to grow as the new age Indian manager is at the forefront of this change, adapting strategies to navigate these dynamics effectively. This paper analyses the ramifications of these shifts in management practices, exploring the changes in management approaches, strategies adopted by managers, and the subsequent impacts on organizations and employees.

 Abstract

The term third gender describes about individuals who identify as exclusively masculine or feminine termed as Non-binary. Non-binary means that we can't identify them as totally masculine or feminine, rather somewhere in between or totally different. Non-binary community in India is an important part of society. Even law cannot deny their existence and constitution also guarantees the third gender have their basic right like Right to dignity, Personal liberty, Educational freedom of expression etc. These individuals are generally denied by their family and society too. The study also covers that the third gender is excluded from the society and what the law and order is doing to convert that social exclusion into social inclusion. People of non-binary category face severe discrimination and harassment in all respect of contemporary India. They are subjected to unfair treatments like verbal abuse, physical and sexual violence, false arrests, denial of share in their ancestral property, services and admissions to educational institutions and victimization in family, institution, workplace etc. The golden threads that run through the equality scheme of the Indian Constitution (Act 14, 15, 16, 19 and 21) is enjoyment of life by all citizens and equal opportunity to grow as human being in irrespective of their race, caste, religion, community, social status and gender. Recently, in the wake of 'Nalsa judgment', the Indian parliament enacted The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019.

This shelter issue is not just a debatable topic in India, but in many parts of the globe. The right to shelter is a fundamental right of any human, the most basic need of any man or woman in existance. The low-wage group or economically weaker section of people dream so too but making it a reality is a struggle for them. Slum dwellers come in this group and they are amongst the most vulnerable members of our society. Recognition of their basic fundamental right relating to shelter and livelihood is done by the judiciary but there always exists some disparity that keeps on violating their rights time and again. Until a strong help from the legislative body is not received they will continue struggling for their rights with their hopes intact.

 Abstract

This study has been undertaken to Plastic waste is silent threat to the environment and their disposal is a serious issue for waste managers. Now a day society does not have any alternative to plastic products like plastic bags, plastic bottles, and plastic sheets etc. In spite of all efforts made to limit its use but unfortunately its utility is increasing day by day. To circumvent this issue many efforts were made in the past to reuse the plastic waste but no significant results were achieved. On contrary concrete being the widely used construction material is facing problem due to unavailability of construction material (Cement, sand and coarse aggregate). Various attempts were made through experimentation to check the feasibility of plastic waste to be use partially in concrete with respect to various properties of strength, workability, durability and ductility of concrete. This paper includes review of various studies conducted on utility of waste plastic material used in the concrete. Moreover this paper will draw our focus toward the impingement on the various properties of concrete when partially replacing with waste plastic.
