 Abstract

The term "cloud computing" refers to a form of technology that, rather than storing data on servers or local drives, offers distant services over the internet for the purpose of managing, accessing, and storing data. Serverless technology is another name for this particular technology. One of the most rapidly developing technologies in the field of computing is cloud computing. Many advantages and minimal security problems characterise cloud computing. This paper's goal is to examine, and then propose answers to, the many data security issues that crop up while using cloud computing in a multi-tenant setting. Additionally, models of cloud computing, including deployment models and service delivery models, are discussed in this work. When it comes to any kind of business or cloud computing, data is of the utmost importance. Companies can go under if their data is corrupted or lost, which can damage public trust and lead to financial ruin. At the moment, cloud computing is utilized either directly or indirectly by a great number of enterprises. In the event that a data breach occurs in cloud computing, it will have an impact not only on cloud computing but also on the commercial operations of the firm. It is for this reason that cloud computing firms are paying a greater amount of attention to the security of their customers' data.

 Abstract

Dairy farming is an important part of our agro-ecosystem and rural economy. It is a significant source of income and vital trail of subsistence to the small and marginalized farmers and to the landless laborers also. Commercial dairy farming plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of the rural people throughout the country especially in the hilly states where land holding and opportunities for livelihood are very limited. The growth and development of dairy farming mainly depends on the infra-structural facilities provided to the dairy farmers with proficient rewards to the produced milk through dairy co-operatives, milk producer's societies, and milk collection centers. Dairy farming to a large extent relies on the level and pattern of animal husbandry practices such as varieties of livestock, socio-economic conditions, aspirations and awareness among farmers, etc. Current study deals with the potentials of dairy farming in Nainital district of Uttarakhand. Major objective o the current study is to assess the potentials of milk societies in Nainital district and analyze their problems and solutions.

 Abstract

Eye-based biometric systems, leveraging retina and iris recognition, offer high reliability for human authentication. Iris recognition is favored for its stability and accuracy, even among identical twins, but faces challenges like eyelid and eyelash occlusions. This paper proposes a system using preprocessing, the MLRP algorithm, and image matching for efficient implementation. It refines iris recognition in less constrained imaging scenarios with an algorithm employing RANSAC and direct ellipse fitting for improved boundary localization. The system, validated using SDUMLA-HMT, CASIA-Iris-V3, and IITD databases, demonstrates high recognition rates, surpassing traditional methods. Additionally, IrisConvNet, a multimodal system using CNNs and Softmax classifiers, enhances performance and generalization. This approach, validated across three datasets, combines face and iris recognition for increased accuracy and security, overcoming traditional biometric challenges. The system's robustness and efficiency make it a leading solution in biometric authentication, promising broad application in security and identification systems.

 Abstract

This research paper examines the complex relationship between coping styles and resilience in college students. The instruments used were the Coping Styles Questionnaire (Hamby, 2013) and the Brief Resilience Scale (Smith, 2008). The total sample consisted of one hundred and ten participants (N=110) from reputed universities in Delhi NCR. Both male and female students were considered, and participants' ages ranged from 17 to 35 years. Random sampling is the basis of sampling. Statistical analysis revealed a weak positive correlation between coping style and participants' Resilience. The numbers seem to go up a bit together, which means it's just a coincidence. . Research has shown that although connections are found between these components, their strength is limited. This study contributes to the growing literature on mental health and coping mechanisms in college students by providing information that can inform interventions and support systems to improve student life and academic success. Additional research methods and practical applications are discussed.

 Abstract

Amlapitta is a disease which is prevalent all over the world especially in India due to unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress, sleep deprivation. Prevalence in Indian subcontinent can be as high as 80 per cent among the population. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are there to treat hyperacidity. Regular use of medications can cause some side effects to the human body. In contemporary science many non-pharmacological interventions are available like Yoga. Yoga is a fantastic practice that originated in ancient India and has since spread worldwide. It encompasses a variety of physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines aimed at achieving harmony and balance within oneself. The physical aspect of Yoga involves various postures (Asanas) that promote flexibility, strength, and balance. These Asanas are often combined with breathing exercises (Pranayama) to enhance the mind-body connection and promote relaxation. Beyond the physical benefits, Yoga is also renowned for its ability to reduce stress, increase mindfulness, and improve overall well-being. Yogic techniques like Surya namaskara, Urdhwahastana, Trikonasana, Vrikshasana, Dandasana, Paschimottansana, Ushtrasana, Vajrasana, Shalabhasana, Pavanamuktasana, Savasana and Pranayamas like Nadishuddhi, Sheetali pranayama, Bhramari pranayama are beneficial in management of Amlapitta. So, in this review we are analysing the therapeutical effect of Asanas and Pranayama in the management of Amlapitta.

 Abstract

The convergence of ancient yogic philosophy and modern neuroanatomy finds a fascinating intersection in the concept of Kundalini and the vagus nerve. Kundalini, often depicted as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, represents a potent spiritual force capable of profound transformation and enlightenment. In parallel, the vagus nerve, or the tenth cranial nerve, plays a crucial role in autonomic bodily functions such as digestion, heart rate, and respiratory rhythm. Extending from the brainstem to the abdomen, the vagus nerve's extensive reach and influence over vital organs resonate with the transformative journey of Kundalini through the chakras, or energy centers, in the body.

 Abstract

The integration of Apache Spark and Apache Kafka has evolved into one of the most influential combinations in real-time data analysis, but fault tolerance and recovery still is a big problem. This research paper investigates fault tolerance mechanisms in such integration. Durability of Kafka messages is achieved by partitioning and replication. Apache Spark relies on resilient Distributed Datasets and checkpointing to handle failures. The research measures their effect on the system's reliability, consistency, and performance. Experiments show that using RDD lineage in Spark and log-based recovery in Kafka brings about considerable improvement in fault tolerance, reducing time and losses of data. Specifically, the findings are that optimizing these recovery procedures is what will make real-time data processing systems more resolute and resilient to failures in a distributed computing environment. This research details the analysis and gives practical recommendations on how to enhance fault tolerance in integrated Spark-Kafka systems.
