Managing one-fifth of credit in the country, the Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC) is a vital sector for the Indian economy. A series of problems are hurting the Indian NBFC sector since the default of infrastructure finance major IL&FS in September 2018. What seemed to be a liquidity crisis is looming into a solvency issue. Some major players backed by reputed promoters are going out of business. Though the downgrades & defaults do have a considerable impact on the banking and finance industry as a whole, there is sufficient panic-triggering turbulence in certain pockets of the industry. The Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) and the Asset Management Industry are found to be vulnerable and got highly hurt by the crisis. A central issue that led to the liquidity issues in the industry is the asset-liability mismatch. Regulators prefer tweaking macro-economic variables to curtail the problem rather than providing a special liquidity window. The crisis highlighted the need for much closer interaction and the interplay between regulators such as RBI, IRDA, NHB, and SEBI to avert such possibilities in future failing which bubbles like these could culminate to become a systemic risk. Findings from this paper can help various stakeholders from the NBFC, the regulators, and the Government in better preparedness.

In a democracy Election plays a major role. Election is a means for the masses to choose their representatives freely. In India all the adult citizens irrespective of their caste, class, creed, sex and religion can take part in the electoral process. But in recent period participatory democracy has been immensely criticized on the ground that it gives less opportunity to its citizens for any significant participation in the decision making process. Consequently, under the prevailing system it is seen that the electorates have very little knowledge and understanding of political problems, corruption and misuse of power, use of money and muscle power are so rampant. If people get better opportunities of political participation they will be inclined to discuss public issues elaborately which will lead to the development of the society. Hence citizen participation is an ultimate condition for a good democracy. Tea tribe community is one of the most important ethnic groups of North-East India. In this paper, we examine and analyze the electoral participation of the tea tribe community of North-east India. We use field survey method for the study and both primary and secondary sources of data are used. The study is significant in the present day context in view of the emerging trends in the electoral politics in India in recent period.

The research aims at conducting a quality research with Reinforcement of a hollow brick wall. The empty internal sections significantly lower the dead load. With a better surface finish, the side of the block was cast, minimizing the cost of plastering. Several sample mixes are tested to achieve a finished surface. The respective frames were cast with and without reinforcement and the test results were compared. The blocks were used to build masonry walls and ' load-bearing strength ' of the walls was tested. It is possible to use the reinforced hollow block as a load-bearing wall. Nearly 75 percent of the deaths related to the earthquake in the last century,Buildings have collapsed, the majority of which (more than 70 percent)is due to the collapse of buildings made of masonry. Most of the properties in India are Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings that are weak and vulnerable even under moderate earthquakes and that function on the wall due to high wind forces, causing severe damage to high wind loads and it is recognized that Reinforced Masonry Building has many advantages over unreinforced masonry building.The use was very limited in Indian building practices and there are still no approved codes and shear walls were used in most constructions, even in mild earthquakes, instead of reinforced masonry walls.

Establishing effective cooperation between the manufacturer and reseller as vertical marketing channel participants implies the effective mechanism for the development of the main strategies of their business behaviour, such as price and expenditure forming for the joint promotion of the product. This provides the manufacturer and reseller the ability to select the most appropriate business game scenarios to maximize their profits in the short and long-term perspectives. This issue is relevant in the practice of distribution channels functioning. The purpose of the study is defining the optimal parameters values of expenditure function reaction for the compatible advertising, which will help to maximize the profits of both distribution channel participants. The research takes into account the statistical analysis of empirical data, in particular, data on average monthly sales volumes, as well as retail price for the unit of the product of the manufacturer enterprise. Besides, the paper presents a numerical experiment on the possible values of the advertisement expenditures parameters’ function, calculated on the basis of effectively selected range and step change. It was mathematically substantiated and defined the solutions of Stackelberg's business game, which implies functioning of the manufacturer equilibrium. A numerical experiment was conducted to maximize the possibilities of the manufacturer’s profitability features, reseller and marketing channel from the point of pricing strategies formation, and expenditure strategies for joint advertising of the both participants of the goods turnover channel. Stakelberg's variant of a business game is found to be optimal for the manufacturer, in which the percentage of its participation in the reseller’s expenditures on the joint advertising is non-zero. The obtained results can be the initial information base to form recommendations on possibilities of Stakelberg’s business game application in comparison with other variants of theoretical and game models of marketing channels’ participants interaction.
A New Hypervolume-based Evolutionary Algorithm for Many-objective Optimization
Authors: Shang Ke , Ishibuchi Hisao
Published: December 2019

In this paper, a new hypervolume-based evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm (EMOA), namely
R2HCA-EMOA (R2-based Hypervolume Contribution Approximation EMOA), is proposed for many-objective optimization.
The core idea of the algorithm is to use an R2 indicator
variant to approximate the hypervolume contribution. The basic
framework of the proposed algorithm is the same as SMS-
EMOA. In order to make the algorithm computationally efficient,
a utility tensor structure is introduced for the calculation of the
R2 indicator variant. Moreover, a normalization mechanism is
incorporated into R2HCA-EMOA to enhance the performance
of the algorithm. Through experimental studies, R2HCA-EMOA
is compared with three hypervolume-based EMOAs and several
other state-of-the-art EMOAs on 5-, 10- and 15-objective DTLZ,
WFG problems and their minus versions. Our results show that
R2HCA-EMOA is more efficient than the other hypervolume-based EMOAs, and is superior to all the compared state-of-the-art EMOAs.
X-ray of seeds in breeding of berry crops
Authors: Bezukh E. P. , Potrakhov N. N.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the use of x-rays to determine the quality of hybrid seeds of berry crops such as raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, strawberry, blueberries, red currants and gooseberries. All examinations were performed with the use of x-ray equipment PRB-02. For detailed examination of small seeds, an x-ray microscope RM-01 was used. It was revealed that even visually full-fledged seeds of berry crops have internal hidden defects, such as rotting of the seed, detachment of the shell from the cotyledons and failure. Microfocus radiography of the seeds of gooseberries and currants showed that the shells of these seeds reacted poorly to x-ray irradiation in the sense that the outlines of the cotyledons and the embryo had no clearly defined boundaries. The method of microfocus radiography can be successfully applied in the selection of berry crops to determine the quality characteristics of seeds and their viability.

Materiales y métodos: se eligieron 2 grupos, cada uno con 16 individuos; el primero conformado por personas infectadas con VIH y tratamiento adherente y el segundo con individuos no infectados (grupo control). Los volúmenes de las estructuras corticales, subcorticales, las regiones superficiales de la sustancia blanca y gris fueron calculados para los dos hemisferios, en los cuales se utilizaron algoritmos automáticos de la plataforma de análisis de imágenes FreeSurfer. Los datos anatómicos de los individuos fueron adquiridos en un equipo de resonancia magnética 3T en el Instituto de Alta Tecnología Médica (IATM), Medellín, Colombia. Resultados: el análisis de las estructuras corticales y subcorticales no arrojó diferencias significativas entre las volumetrías del grupo control y los individuos infectados con VIH/adherentes al tratamiento. Conclusión: los hallazgos muestran que el cerebro puede estar posiblemente sin alteraciones en sus estructuras corticales y subcorticales en los individuos con VIH adherentes al tratamiento, en primera o segunda línea de tratamiento antirretroviral, y, a la vez, estos resultados pueden aportar nuevas estrategias de neuroprotección ante el autocuidado frente al esquema de tratamiento.
