A Hierarchical Edge-Cloud Framework for Collision Aware Video Filtering in Traffic Surveillance Systems
The high bandwidth consumption in the network, which is caused by the large-scale vehicular sensing systems, which are characterised by continuous video captures, but safety hazardous situations such as vehicle-vehicle accidents are not common in frequency. In this paper, a hierarchical edgecloud framework has been proposed in collisionaware video filtering as a result of mitigating this inefficiency by transmitting less data and still being able to capture valuable information. The proposed system performs lightweight semantic interaction extraction on the edge and offloads recall oriented collision-based reasoning and aggregation to the cloud enabling selective uploading and resulting uploading of videos rather than raw video streams. The results of the experiments in the held-out test set show that the hierarchical approach has the capacity to achieve a video-level recollection rate of 0.8621 with a reduction of 40.38 percent in the bandwidth usage relatively to a stream-all baseline, which transmits all videos. In contrast, edge-only heuristic has a higher reduction of bandwidth of 86.90 but only retrieves 17.24 percent of all the videos with collisions, a fact that presents the drawbacks of local decision making. Event-level classification is associated with a moderate accuracy, however, once the amount of interaction events per video increases as a whole, performance of the system becomes efficient, yielding the F1-score of 0.6329. Another ablation study also suggests that relative velocity properties also increase recall and bandwidth performance although directional cues do not increase these aspects significantly. These findings indicate that filtering does not require high accuracy of events. Instead, the bandwidth conscious vehicular video analytics can be realized by remembering based semantic compression at the edge with cloud-based aggregation as an implementation of a scalable and practical solution.

In Economics there are two purposes to apply mathematics, one is the math- ematical tools needed to make and understand economic arguments, the sec- ond one is, to make you comfortable talking about economics using the short- hand of mathematics. The major development of the second quarter of 20th century in the field of economics was the mathematization of economics. The application of mathematical techniques to the analysis of economic problems is a methodological possibility. This technique often called as Mathemati- cal economics. Mathematics allows economists to form meaningful, testable propositions about wide-ranging and complex subjects which could less eas- ily be expressed informally. The special functions are intensively used in economic analysis to solve differential systems. Here in this paper I discussed its significant role in economic dynamics, notably in the assessment of the transition dynamics of endogenous growth models. In 2004 Boucekkine-Tamarit illustrate the Lucas-Uzawa model, which they solve by the means of Gaussian hyperge- ometric functions. They showed how the use of Gaussian hypergeometric functions allows for an explicit representation of the equilibrium dynamics of the variables in level.

Examining the impact of IC components on BSE Firms: Using Dynamic Panel Data
In recent years, the economy has shifted from production to knowledge-based. Intellectual capital has gained importance in these years. Intellectual capital is the organization's hidden cost that helps generate value. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of intellectual capital on the financial performance of 294 BSE firms. The study collected the Capitaline database data for 2010-2020. The Dynamic Panel Data regression statistical technique has been applied to analyze the data as there was an endogeneity problem. The results revealed that human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency have an impact on the profitability of the organization. The profitability has been calculated using return on assets. However, on the other hand, it has been found that physical capital only impacts the market value to book value, and intellectual capital doesn't have any impact. The study is beneficial for the management to disclose intellectual capital as it will help them to show the true picture of the organization, thus increasing the profitability.

The Growth of Rural Market in India - An Analytical Study
The market for products and services delivered to the poor people of the world is huge. Consumers at the very bottom of the economic pyramid – those with per capita incomes of less than $1,500 – number more than 4 billion. But the success of multinational corporations in penetrating these low-income customers has been patchy at best, with most companies based in the developed world choosing to focus on the middle and upper income segments of the developing world.The business world failed to seize the opportunity at the bottom of the economic pyramid due to poor infrastructure, non-existent distribution channels, illiteracy etc that stifle the enthusiasm of companies in serving people living in poverty. Therefore the development in infrastructure has a great role to play in shaping the rural market in India. This paper looks at the various facets of infrastructure development and its impact on the rural market of India.
Abstract- Social media nowadays is among the ‘best possibilities available’ to an item to get in touch with potential customers. Community social networking websites are the method to interact socially. Social media is a phenomenon that has become an important aspect in marketing mix and revolutionizing the way companies interact with customers.These new media win the believe in of customers by linking with them at a deeper level. Community online marketing is the new mantra for several manufacturers since early a season ago. {ref. 7} Promoters are considering many different social media possibilities and beginning to apply new social projects at a higher rate than ever before. Community online marketing and the companies that utilize it have become more sophisticated. One cannot afford to have no existence on the social programs if the competitor is creating waves with its solutions and items. The blast of social media trend is as amazing as that and the speed at which it is improving is frustrating.The findings presented in this study conclude that even though social media is more effective than some of the traditional advertising channels, it cannot be implemented in isolation without augmenting it with other forms of traditional advertising channels.
A Case study on changing education paradigms driven in topsy turvey situation of covid 19
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education is vast, ranging from the adoption of online classes to better understanding the nature of the rapid institutional transition during the pandemic situation.The pandemic has resulted in reduced academic attainment and unfinished learning, which had a profound effect on the future economic prospects of millennials. In fact, the pandemic had shown the potential to thwart the plans of many millennials to go to college and find a rewarding career to support themselves and their families. While the effects were diverse, the cumulative cost of unfinished learning and achievement gaps were greater than the current investments made. But, the sudden shift in institutional teaching methodologies and conditions created around the education industry created the dilemmas about the results that will be demonstrated by the two groups of university faculty, separately identified as novice online teachers and expert online teachers. This case study aims to provide useful accounts of the changes that occurred in interconnected teaching activity systems at the university while adopting online teaching, highlighting the complex factors underpinning individual academics’ experiences. The case study focuses on a ‘deep dive’ into the challenges faced by teachers in conducting distance-learning activities while schools were closed.Finally, the case study presents lessons learned and recommendations on how to strengthen systems to provide a stronger education sector to bridge the gap between the reality and ambitions of India’s education policy.

E-learning Aggregators (An overview of the flaws and improvements)
COVID-19 has devastated the way things were moving earlier to a forced lockdown, which has badly impacted every domain of life. At the same time, it also opened a floodgate of opportunities in the digital field. The education sector was also not untouched by this digital revolution. Education is an important part of our lives. It was evident that the education sector has seamlessly moved digital/online. In particular, the COVID-19 outbreak has given opportunities to learners, students, and academicians to learn at their own pace with comfort and acquire skills and certifications through various courses available and offered online via multiple digital platforms. Now, there is a flood of platforms, courses, teachers, and learners as well. Due to the ample number of online platforms, it is now creating chaos among learners trying to find suitable ones. Additionally, learners spend a lot of time browsing across many websites and platforms, maybe because inadequate tools are present that allow for all comparisons to be made in one location. Although students and learners were already taking online courses, a greater number of them have been signing up for them since COVID-19. The availability of numerous platforms on the internet that provide a variety of courses has left learners perplexed about how to find one that will be recognized in the business world and by academic institutions, but this is mainly because they lack the right tools and knowledge. Eventually, students end up taking or enrolling in a course that is either really basic or possibly too advanced for them. The answers can't be located in one spot, which is a problem for the students. As students, the same problem was faced by us also. We, thus, after identifying the problem, looked for solutions and found a few, but even those solutions were not fulfilling our requirements. Thus, this paper includes an overview of some of the solutions that aim to solve the problem of learners by allowing them to easily find courses and platforms that are appropriate for them in one place without wasting time browsing multiple websites. Discussions will also include all of the platforms' potential improvement areas.

AI-Driven Detection of Depressive Disorders: A Machine Learning Approach
This research centres on the identification of patients experiencing depression. To identify the condition, this paper suggests three machine learning methodologies: Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Multi Linear Regression (MLR) models. The primary aim was pinpointing the most efficient model for accurately recognising depression. Following a thorough evaluation, the ANN model displayed superior performance among the trio, achieving 100% accuracy in depression identification. The ANN model’s architecture, comprising one input, hidden, and output layer, proved to be a better fit for the data, resulting in fewer errors than the SVM and MLR models. The study utilised accuracy and loss graphs from training and validation datasets and a confusion matrix to evaluate model efficacy. The results confirm that the ANN model surpasses the others, particularly regarding cross-entropy loss. These findings highlight the ANN model’s potential usefulness in sending timely text messages or alerts to healthcare professionals based on the patient’s condition and treatment needs.

The Influence of Social Media on Political and Social Awareness in Rural Communities
Social media has significantly influenced political and social awareness in rural communities, serving as a tool for both empowerment and misinformation. On the positive side, social media platforms enhance civic engagement, provide access to real-time information, and bridge the gap between rural and urban populations. They enable rural citizens to participate in political discourse, advocate for local issues, and mobilize support for social causes. Additionally, social media facilitates education on governance, human rights, and global events, fostering a more informed population. However, social media also presents challenges, including the spread of misinformation, political polarization, and digital illiteracy. Many rural communities lack access to fact-checking mechanisms, making them vulnerable to propaganda, fake news, and manipulation by interest groups. Moreover, limited digital literacy can lead to the misinterpretation of political and social content, sometimes exacerbating social divisions. This paper explores both the positive and negative impacts of social media on political and social awareness in rural areas, emphasizing the need for digital literacy programs and regulatory measures to maximize benefits while mitigating risks.
Electoral Reforms in India: Evaluating the Potential of One Nation, One Election
India, the world’s largest democracy, frequently engages in electoral exercises to uphold the principles of governance and representation. However, the fragmented election cycles of the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and State Legislative Assemblies pose significant challenges, including substantial financial costs, administrative burdens, and policy disruptions. The concept of One Nation, One Election (ONOE) has emerged as a proposed electoral reform to synchronize national and state elections, aiming to address these challenges. This article examines the potential of ONOE in transforming India’s electoral landscape. It delves into the historical context of simultaneous elections, which were practiced from 1952 to 1967, and analyzes the factors that led to their discontinuation. The study explores the potential benefits of ONOE, such as cost efficiency, continuity in governance, reduction in electoral fatigue, and enhanced voter participation. Simultaneously, the article addresses the critical challenges associated with this proposal, including its implications for federalism, the logistical hurdles in synchronization, and the need for extensive constitutional amendments. Furthermore, it considers the potential marginalization of regional and smaller political parties in a unified electoral framework. Drawing on comparative experiences from countries with synchronized elections and a detailed examination of India’s political and constitutional framework, the article provides policy recommendations for phased implementation, consensus building, and infrastructural improvements. It concludes that while ONOE holds promise for improving governance and efficiency, it requires a nuanced approach that respects India’s diversity and federal principles. By evaluating the opportunities and challenges of ONOE, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on electoral reforms in India and offers insights for policymakers, academics, and stakeholders interested in enhancing the democratic process.
