The Digital era marked by the unrivalled growth of Internet and its services with day-to-day technological advancements has paved way for a data driven society. This digital explosion offers opportunities for extracting valuable information from collected data, which are used by organizations and research establishments for synergistic advantage. However, privacy of online divulged data is an issue that gets overlooked as a consequence of such large-scale analytics. Although, privacy and security practices conjointly determine the ethics of data collection and its use, personal data of individuals is largely at risk of disclosure. Considerable research has gone into privacy preserving analytics, in the light of Big Data and IoT boom, but scalable and efficient techniques, that do not compromise the usefulness of privacy constrained data, continues to be a challenging arena for research. The proposed work makes use of a distance-based perturbation method to group data and further randomizes data. The efficacy of perturbed data is evaluated for classification task that gives results on par with the non-perturbed counterpart. The relative performance of the algorithm is also evaluated on the parallel computing platform Spark. Results show that the technique does not hinder the use of data for holistic analysis while privacy is subjectively maintained.

This article summarizes the studies published in the field of hadith and hadith studies, and gives a brief overview and analyzes the hadith approaches. The paper analyzes evolutionary changes of contradictory views on the development of hadith science in the West, a collection of six reliable sahih hadiths and foreign scholars attitude towards them, as well as the historical significance of hadiths and their importance in the Islamic world. It is known that some hadiths were fabricated for various purposes. We are far from thinking that all hadiths are authentic and correct. However, because of some "fake" hadiths, we oppose the rejection of Islamic sources after Qur'an. Therefore, the essence and contents of many works published in the West must be reanalyzed today. As a practical implementation of the above-mentioned issues, most of the foreign researches on hadith have been studied with using comparative-historical, logical, and descriptive methods in this article. As a novelty of this work, it is possible to present the analysis of new books, articles published abroad. The results show that many western scholars changed their negative views about hadiths to positive side and they are also researching the historical significance of hadiths. In fact, they are studying “al-Kutub al-Sitta” as the main source after Qur'an. According to our conclusions, many studies on the hadiths in the West have been conducted, but there is no mutual comparative analysis on this field. The role and significance of Central Asian scientists have not been studied adequately in the formation of positive opinions on hadith in the West.

Nowadays Power quality is a extremely main issue. Switching actions of power electronics devices draws reactive power, which causes distortion in current waveform, resulting in harmonics which further leads to capacitor failure, resonance problem and power factor performance etc. Therefore the harmonics are eliminated and the reactive power is compensated in the power supply in the grid side. Passive filters were previously used for removal of harmonics, but due to large resonance problem and effect of source impendence on performance it was dropped. In the proposed model, VSI used as Shunt Active Power Filter is proposed to design as per work producing component of basic sinusoidal waveform by waveforms of different frequencies and power produced by non-work producing component reparation as requested by reactive load drawn non-sinusoidal current from sinusoidal supply. Control circuit of Voltage Source Inverter provided to improve quality of power is performed for various active functioning conditions under non-linear reactive loads. MATLAB / Simulink simulation tool is used to obtain this result. The obtained outputs were within the suggested IEEE-519 standard i.e. less than 5% and also the system power factor is almost unity.

The proposed system, helps to increase ground water table level to decrease the water crisis encountered by the people. The rain water harvesting system implemented by the government was a good system by the way but very less monsoon and unpredictable rain has made it unreliable for water table recharging. But an average household of 4 uses nearly 220 litres for bathing and nearly 200 litres for cleaning clothes and utensils per day all the water goes down for the sewage. This project aims in segregating these 400 litres of used water. By collecting all the used water in house and finding out its turbidity using led and photo detector. If water is turbid contents it is discharged into the sewage if the water is not turbid then the water is filtered using corn cobs and then diverted into the rain water harvesting system. This way at least 30 % (120 litres) out of the 400 litres of the used water can be diverted into the rain water harvesting system. When calculated for a month nearly 3600 litres can be recharged into the ground. The water diversion can be done with the help of a valve controlled by a solenoid. These are connected to the microcontroller to control all the process and send to Wi-Fi module.

Banks are the mainstay of any country’s economic development. The money is stored in the bank, wherein the people are risk free of keeping money at home, and whenever required can take their money. The banks also help for any business growth or any start up business. And to meet all this peoples’ requirement and even gain profits, banks sees their financial growth and analyze as what to be done to meet the requirements. Even the people should know, whether the bank in which they have gone on their money is stable and can give back their money back when needed or when the bank fails to shut down due to unavailability of assets or loss which cannot be reclaimed. This report examines the execution of certain private and public sector banks. Five banks from private sector viz. ICICI, HDFC, Axis, YES, Kotak Mahindra and five banks from public sector viz. SBI, PNB, BOB, UBI and Canara bank were chosen for this analysis. The data were collected for a period from 2012-2013 to 2016-2017 (5 years).

PRINCIPAIS MECANISMOS QUE CORRELACIONAM A MICROBIOTA INTESTINAL COM A PATOGÊNESE DA DEPRESSÃO
Authors: Marese Angélica Cristina Milan , Ficagna Eduardo José , Parizotto Rubiani Andresa , Linartevichi Vagner Fagnani
Published: October 2019

Introdução: A depressão representa um grave problema de saúde pública, modificando significativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Sem um mecanismo biológico completamente estabelecido que desencadeie seus sintomas característicos, envolve diversos fatores etiológicos, como a modificação da microbiota intestinal, a qual participa da comunicação bidirecional do eixo intestino-cérebro. Devido à disbiose, alterações na comunicação desse eixo podem ter uma correlação direta com patologias mentais, como a depressão. Objetivos: Realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica para revisitar os principais mecanismos que correlacionam a microbiota intestinal com a patogênese da depressão e a relação da sua modulação como uma opção terapêutica para essa patologia. Metodologia: A pesquisa incluiu dados de 35 artigos científicos publicados entre 2002 e 2018 nas bases de dados do Pubmed e Scielo, acerca do tema proposto. Resultados: A microbiota intestinal é importante para a função do SNC, devido à comunicação bidirecional intestino-cérebro, permitindo que este influencie nas funções gastrintestinais e imunológicas. Como a microbiota regula o epitélio intestinal, fatores emocionais podem interferir na composição da mesma e na integridade dos enterócitos. A disbiose interfere na produção de citocinas e altera a permeabilidade intestinal - quando acentuada, produtos bacterianos desencadeiam um quadro inflamatório, evidenciado em pacientes com depressão. Estes também podem apresentar diferenças na composição da microbiota e seu tratamento com probióticos específicos podem reduzir sintomas depressivos. Conclusão: Apesar dos escassos estudos em humanos, há intensa inter-relação entre microbiota, eixo intestino-cérebro e patologias mentais. Portanto, a modulação da microbiota cria uma nova perspectiva acerca da fisiopatogenia, prevenção e tratamento da depressão.

The Paradox of Dispersal: Ethnic Continuity & Community Development Among Japanese Americans in Little Tokyo
Authors: Toji Dean , Umemoto Karen
Published: October 2019

This article talks about the formation of communities and its implications. Little Tokyo is pointed out as an example of a community borne out as a result of a segregationist US society. During World War II there was a dramatic decline in the construction of Little Tokyo since Japanese people were put into interment camps. There is a dramatic shift of the function of Little Tokyo before the war and after the war. Post-WW II demonstrates“ paradox dispersal” because as the ethnic population was no longer heavily concentrated in one area the historic Little Tokyo communities assumed a new importance as they are regarded as a symbol ethnic identity and community. The power struggle in the community is part of a broader political, economic, and cultural issue. Three forces are responsible for shaping the history of community development in Little Tokyo: Japanese corporations, the region’s elite development regimes, and local Japanese American organizations. Post WW II “urban renewal” opened the door to Japanese corporate capital. This policy is discussed insofar as it influences the community. By late 1980s Japanese Americans were able to shape the Little Tokyo development as they gain more economic power. The ‘recreation center’ controversy is discussed.
Opportunities for Community - University Partnerships: Implementing a Service-Learning Research Model in Asian American Studies
Authors: dela Cruz Melany , Leung Loh-Sze
Published: October 2019

Over the last quarter century, many Asian American Studies (AAS) programs have gradually gained academic legitimacy within universities as part of the movement for Ethnic Studies. The pressures of fighting for legitimacy in a system where research, not community-based work, is rewarded mean that the growing institutionalization of AAS has made the majority of programs and courses less accessible to communities. This article calls for AAS to take a more active, practical, and broader approach in reaching out to Asian Pacific Americans (APA) in our community, especially the underserved who face several obstacles in achieving their goals due to lack of access, lack of education, and discrimination. Asian American Studies now devotes a smaller share of its growing resources to community-orientated and community-based courses than at its inception, exacerbating the divide between the university and APA communities. Asian American Studies must return to its roots as a social agent in a broader social movement for equality and justice. This article introduces a service-learning research model that is one approach to linking the Asian Pacific American community with university Asian American Studies departments and programs across the nation.
Distressed Asian American Neighborhoods
Authors: Miller Douglas , Houston Douglas
Published: October 2019

There is a serious lack of demographic and socioeconomic data about Asian Americans living in distressed areas. The approach suggested to address this problem is community development with professional and academics to provide updated information on many issues such as poverty, educational attainment pertinent to these disadvantaged AA communities. The article discusses the selection criteria employed to choose the fourteen distressed communities that is analyzed. Details describing demographic characteristics, such as most AA communities are racially diverse, are supplemented with statistics to provide concrete data. Unemployment and poverty go hand-in-hand and in distressed AA communities these problems are occurring in higher frequency than other communities. The typical depiction of an AA community as a rich ethnic-enclave is debunked. The dominant problems in these communities are also representative of the problems most immigrants face today. The motivation for this analysis is to compel policy-makers to develop further research into these communities to understand their problems in order to make policies effectively addressing their needs.

The selection of organizations that was studied and the findings of that investigation, along with the assessment of its effectiveness and the resources barriers they face are discussed.
Asian American Civil Rights Advocacy and Research Agenda After 9/11
Authors: Narasaki Karen , Han June
Published: October 2019

This article discusses the anti-immigrant sentiment after 9/11 and focuses on Asian American’s research agenda and advocacy plans to identify the problem and offer suggestions to mitigate it. The aftermath of 9/11 resulted in discrimination and violence against minorities, and therefore adversely affected their economic conditions and limited their opportunities. 9/11 also exposed the lack of adequate system of research and data regarding Asian Americans that would be necessary to influence the nation’s legislative institutions. The introduction of governmental policies to increase national security is explored as inefficient, biased and complicate existing major problems that immigrants face. 9/11 resulted in increased racial profiling, which highlights the government’s lack of policies protecting immigrant rights. 9/11 affected the immigrant issues of legalization, voting rights, employment discrimination, language barriers, legal services, and the effects of welfare reform.
Asian American Demographics and Civil Rights
Authors: Ong Paul
Published: October 2019

This article discusses the demographic trends that Asian Americans face and how it shapes civil rights issues. The decennial census is the most important aspect of this study. The census has become a tool for social and economic data and therefore influences the outcomes of policy legislation and political discourse. The census influence extends far beyond the political realm as it also helps private companies target potential markets. The census, however, also has critical flaws that need to be addressed to better represent demographic patterns. Asian Americans are an immigrant-dominated population, which affects political participation and voting rights. There is evidence for unequal access to public education, employment, and housing given to Asian Americans.
Articulating Race—Asian American Neoconservative Renditions of Equality An Analysis of the Brian Ho Lawsuit
Authors: Robles Rowena
Published: October 2019

This article discusses race-based policies in education and the merit and racialization of groups. The issue explores the consequences of the Consent Decree of 1979. The Ho Lawsuit is discussed as reframing the issue from desegregation to affirmative action. The lawsuit legal battle created tension between politically powerful influential organizations such as the Chinese for Affirmative Actions. Thus the Asian American community becomes disjointed when some groups promote a political stance that is not beneficial to the entire community. Critical forum between the progressive and neo-conservative Asian American groups are needed. A debate is a good way to break through the stereotypes against race-based policies to uncover the misconceptions constructed by ‘color-blind’ rhetoric.
