 Abstract

Higher education is an essential component of overall development of a human being. It is also an avenue of self-actualization for most people in the learning process. However, the vast majority of prospective students are denied access to higher education, especially the disabled individuals, due to limited space. National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions ensuring equitable access and inclusion in higher education. Open and Distance education therefore becomes the viable option, as it accommodates millions of students who can study from the comfort of wherever they live or work. This necessitated the establishment of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) education, which provides highly accessible and enhanced quality education. ODL also increases manpower development and general literacy. The flexible operation of the Open and Distance education gives the learner the greatest possible control over time. The Open and Distance learning movement has opened the horizon of students, thereby re-shaping what they learn and how they access learning. Despite the advantages of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL), individuals with disabilities are still marginalized and socially/educationally excluded. Therefore, Open and Distance education can integrate the disabled maximally, if stakeholders develop educational facilities and curriculum in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) that can enhance teaching and learning for the individuals with disability in India.

E-waste is one of the fastest growing solid waste streams around the world which is not biodegradable and get accumulates in the environment and living things. E-waste contains hazardous substances which can contaminate soil, air and water when it is not properly disposed of, reused, or recycled and hence posing a serious threat to human health and ecosystems.Thus, there is a need for proper management and disposal of electronic waste generated. This present paper highlights the amount of e-waste generation in worldwide, health and environmental impact of e-waste and also provides suggestions to deal with the challenges and problems of e waste.

 Abstract

Well, I also felt terrible for David while watching this movie. If those feelings are kept aside then the obvious query that arises next is, why David, a highly advanced robotic boy longs to become human. More precisely, when a sentient machine could easily overcome the limits of biology, its analytic capacity would become greater than the accumulative intelligence of every species born in the history of the multiverse, then what it is so exceptional about conscious beings that after all advancements the question still remains same that is "Can a machine be conscious?" The quest that human would be replaced by machine is not very contemporary. In early 1950s the question Turing asked was "Can machines think?" This contributed in the development of the concept of Artificial Intelligence (hereafter AI) altogether. The word intelligence can be deceptive sometimes because the technical implementation of the term is little different from our customary understanding. So, what is AI? It is basically a field of computer science that seeks to programme computers to perform tasks which, when performed by humans, require intelligence. Here one can take a deep breath and wander that undeniably it is a great endeavour for science, but why people of philosophy find it so alluring. Well, the idea of thinking machine is captivating in itself because it might help us to understand thought in general. Broadly, there are two approaches and both are problematic in principle.

 Abstract

Ventricular pacing threshold elevation is a complication that we frequently encounter in patients with pacemakers, which can be responsible for a recurrence of life-threatening conduction disorders. This is why it is very important to explain to implanted patients the importance of regular follow-up, and to encourage them to consult a specialist at the slightest recurrence of clinical symptoms. Our work included 30 implanted patients who raised their threshold during follow-up. It is a retrospective observational and a descriptive study carried out in the Cardiology B department at the Souissi Maternity Hospital in Rabat over a period of two years, from 2020 to 2022. The aim of the study is to characterize chronic pacing lead performance during long-term follow-up and to identify clinical risk factors associated with increased threshold in this population.

India is another key producer and invention of Two riders in the environment. The look of automobile industrial that was redefined through the invite of fuel-efficient data is all set to see introduction of new era in two-wheeler trade. It's non gasoline or diesel or any additional petroleum, then it is power that has started a revolt in two-wheeler trade in India. India two-wheeler manufacturing contained new idea of Electric bikes and Scoters that are actual general method of conveyance in the advanced nations comparable China, America and Japan. Worldwide heating is the main apprehension all over the environment. Electric bikes are features, atmosphere friendly as air effluence, sound pollution is considerable summary. Electric bikes are battery worked vehicle with low preservation cost and actual reasonable similarly. This Paper studies about preference level of customers towards electric bike with special reference to Tiruppur District and the sample collected for the study was 120 respondents.

Abstract: The main aim of this paper to find out the relationship of emotional intelligence and socio- economic status of B.ED. College students of Raichur University, Raichur. Sample of the study was consisted 300 B.Ed. college going student's. A technique of stratified random sampling was employed to select this sample. The findings reveal that there is significant relationship between socio-economic status and Emotional intelligence of B.Ed. College going rural, urban, boys and girls and as total students. There is a positive significant relationship between socio- economic status and Emotional intelligence of B.Ed. college going students.

 Abstract

Structural fuses are sacrificial structural elements that can be added to Reinforced Concrete (RC) systems to reduce the damage under seismic loads. Coupled shear walls system is chosen in this research to be studied while installing steel fuse coupling beams with specific recommendations instead of conventional concrete beams. Many studies investigated the shear behavior of steel beams under shear loading, and others applied lateral loading on coupled shear walls with steel beams. A non-linear finite element analysis is conducted using ABAQUS FE program to verify the modeling of steel fuse beams under shear loading, and Seismostruct FE program is used to verify modeling of global reinforced concrete system under lateral loads based on available experimental results. The numerical results were found reliable to simulate the behavior of verified specimens. Then, a parametric study is conducted using the verified micro and macro modelling techniques through two phases; phase one aims to determine the optimum dimensions for steel fuse coupling beams to enhance its performance in terms of shear-deformation capacity, and energy absorption ensuring shear yielding instead of flexural yielding, while the second phase aims to study the effect of installing steel beams with the design guidelines deduced from phase one instead of conventional RC beams and predict the effect of this procedure on the global behavior of the main system including base shear capacity, ultimate top displacement, and energy dissipation. In conclusion, a specific factor range is identified for steel beams to ensure better shear behavior. Additionally, RC coupled wall systems with steel coupling beams showed better performance in terms of ductility, energy dissipation, and damages level while maintaining similar shear capacity compared to the ordinary systems coupled with RC beams.
