LSTM - Aided Speech Enhancement with Wiener Filter Adaptation
Authors:   Guntur,A.p India, Y . Sravanthi
Published: April 2024

Speech enhancement plays a pivotal role in various applications, from improving the intelligibility of spoken communication in noisy environments. With the assistance of deep learning, a novel approach speech signal enhancement model is introduced in this research. The proposed LSTM model estimates the tuning factor of the Wiener filter with the aid of extracted features to obtain the de-noised speech signal. This model is structured into two phases: Training and Testing. During the training phase, Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is employed to estimate both the noise and signal spectrum from the noisy input signal. Subsequently, Empirical Mean Decomposition (EMD) features are extracted from the Wiener filter and a de-noised speech signal is obtained via processing. Additionally, bark frequency information is evaluated. In the testing phase, the LSTM model has been trained by the extracted features (EMD) via a modified wiener filter. The combination of LSTM-based temporal modeling with trained features and the adaptive Wiener filter results in significantly improved speech quality and intelligibility. Keywords— Speech Enhancement, Non-negative Matrix Factorization, Empirical Mode Decomposition, Wiener Filter.

Electric Vehicles: Tracing the Evolution from Past to Present and Charting Future Frontiers
Authors:   MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION  Mittal School of Business (MSOB)  LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY  PHAGWARA, PUNJAB, Sharma, Anshit
Published: April 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) were recently reintroduced to the global car market. These are an improvement over their predecessors in performance and electric driving range. Although the uptake of EVs has been notable in a short period of time, most government goals for adoption have not been met. This paper reviews a growing body of peer-reviewed literature assessing factors affecting EV adoption. Several important gaps in knowledge are identified. First, there is mixed evidence of the effectiveness of government incentives in encouraging EV uptake and particularly little knowledge in regards to issues of timing and magnitude. The literature shows that public charging infrastructure is an important factor associated with EV uptake, though the direction of causality is yet unclear. Public charging infrastructure can ease range anxiety, particularly for battery electric vehicles, but there is little guidance as to the way in which government should best go about ensuring the provision of infrastructure. Lastly, the nascent EV market means that studies primarily rely on surveys about hypothetical situations. There is strong evidence that actual purchases are much lower than consumers’ stated preferences. Improving understanding of this “attitude–action” gap is important to better informing studies of EV uptake over time.
RATIO ANALYSIS OF AXIS BANK
Authors: GUPTA RAJ
Published: April 2024

This report presents a thorough examination of AXIS Bank's financial performance utilizing ratio analysis as the primary tool. Ratio analysis offers a quantitative method to assess the bank's financial health and operational efficiency by comparing key financial metrics over time and against industry benchmarks. The analysis begins by evaluating AXIS Bank's current ratio, which measures the proportion of current assets to current liabilities. A higher current ratio indicates a greater ability to cover short-term obligations, suggesting a healthy liquidity position. Conversely, a lower ratio may raise concerns about liquidity risk. In the case of AXIS Bank, the current ratio analysis reveals a robust position, indicating a prudent allocation of resources towards current assets. Furthermore, the report explores the quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, which provides a more stringent assessment of liquidity by excluding inventory from current assets. This ratio helps determine the bank's ability to meet short-term obligations without relying on inventory liquidation. Comparing the quick ratio with the current ratio provides additional insights into the composition of AXIS Bank's current assets and its liquidity management practices. Additionally, the analysis considers the fixed/worth ratio, which assesses the proportion of fixed assets financed by owner's equity. A higher fixed/worth ratio suggests greater reliance on equity financing for fixed asset investments, indicating a lower financial risk. Conversely, a lower ratio may signal higher leverage and potential financial vulnerability. Evaluating this ratio provides valuable insights into AXIS Bank's capital structure and risk management strategies. Furthermore, the report examines the cash flow statement to assess the bank's cash generation and utilization across operating, investing, and financing activities. Analyzing cash flow patterns helps identify trends in cash generation, liquidity management, and investment decisions. In the case of AXIS Bank, the analysis reveals a positive trend in cash generated from operating and financing activities, indicating healthy cash inflows. However, negative cash flow from investing activities warrants further investigation into the bank's investment strategies and capital expenditure decisions. Overall, this comprehensive analysis of AXIS Bank's financial ratios and cash flow dynamics provides valuable insights into the bank's financial position, liquidity management, and operational efficiency. The findings offer a basis for strategic decision-making and recommendations to optimize performance and ensure sustained growth and stability.

Published: April 2024

The energy sector, including electricity, heat, and transportation, is the main contributor to GHG emissions because it handles 73.2%. Given the increasingly real threat of the climate crisis, a commitment to reduce the amountof emissions released into the environment needs to be made. One of the emission avoidance measures is an energy transition that shifts dependence on fossil energy to other, cleaner energy sources. As a less polluting technology, nuclear energy ensures a pure environment, thereby enhancing human well-being. Nuclear energy provides and develops greater efficiency and adaptability. It provides access to cheap, reliable, carbon-free energy for industrialized and developing countries. Sixty gigatons of carbon emissions avoided over the last 50 years because of nuclear energy. This form of energy distributes a lot of energy without releasing a lot of contaminants. The criterion of technical advancement must be considered when determining the relationship between the use of nuclear energy and carbon footprint because it can lead to the production of cleaner and alternative sources of energy while lowering the danger of air pollution. The findings support the hypothesis that nuclear energy use may have a negative effect on carbon footprint. These findings imply that the widespread use of nuclear energy can help minimize environmental pollution because it almost entirely eliminates carbon emissions when compared to traditional power plants that use non-renewable energy.

Published: April 2024

This research aims to determine the role of work engagement and employee creativity in mediating the influence of job crafting on task performance in the Bapenda of West Java Province. Data was collected using a questionnaire distributed online to employees at CPPD Bapenda offices in five regions in West Java. A total of 267 respondents participated in filling out the questionnaire, which was distributed via Google Form by selecting samples using proportionate stratified random sampling, and then the data was processed using the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach with the partial least squares (PLS) method. The research results found that job crafting does not have a positive effect on task performance, but it needs a mediating role in work engagement. The role of employee creativity arises when work engagement exists as a variable that mediates the influence of job crafting on employee creativity, and work engagement acts as a variable that encourages employee creativity as a variable that mediates its influence on task performance. Future research is expected to expand testing on variables that encourage job crafting to influence employee creativity and task performance. Apart from that, it is necessary to examine other variables that influence task performance in other public and private sectors.

EVALUATION OF NOVEL IMMOBILIZED LIPASE FROM Staphylococcus argenteus MG2 AND ITS APPLICATION AS DETERGENT ADDITIVE
Authors: Golani Mahima
Published: April 2024

The immobilization of lipase producing alkali tolerant Staphylococcus argenteus MG2 bacterial cell and its lipase enzyme was found to have potential applications in industrial field. The immobilization of bacterial cells was done by using sodium alginate. These cells were used for lipase production. The specific activity of lipase enzyme produced by free cells in fermentation was 18.18µM/min/mg. A quite similar activity of lipase (19.55µM/min/mg) was obtained when bacterial cells were immobilized in 3% sodium alginate beads. It was concluded from the study that immobilized cells are effective as free living bacteria for the lipase production. The immobilized crude enzyme solution with diatomite degraded 0.48mg/L (48%) of oil while immobilized cells degraded 0.44 mg/L  (44%) of oil which indicates that both immobilized enzymes and immobilized cells were degrading oil efficiently and can be reused easily.  It was observed during the study that lipase produced from Staphylococcus argenteus MG2 was found to be effective in the formulations of laundary detergent. During the compatibility of lipase enzyme among various commercial detergent tested, intensified activity of lipase was detected with Rin (106.25%) followed by Nirma (103.12%). The stability of lipase was observed towards anionic as well as non ionic surfactants.  50U of lipase in 0.5% Rin improved the removal of oil from oiled cotton fabric. In summary, this novel and potent lipase producing strain isolated from oil contaminated soil,  Staphylococcus argenteus MG2, holds immense potential for applications in the detergent industry.

The common house fly, Musca domestica L., is a mechanical vector of numerous diseases that may be spread from one living thing to another by sponging their mouthparts on their body and leg hairs after they have vomited. House flies (Musca domestica) have been known as a mechanical vector in spreading infectious diseases such as cholera, shigellosis, salmonellosis and skin infections. The present study aims to investigate the abundance of M. domestica adults in an urban region of Cairo Governorate, Egypt, throughout one year and bacterial diversity on its body surface. Adults of M. domestica were collected monthly by hunting. Collected adults were subjected to molecular identification. Bacteria were isolated from the surface of flies' body pieces and identified by automated identification systems (VITEK). Obtained data revealed that the highest abundance (201.67±15.57) was recorded in May 2022, while the lowest abundance (17.33±0.57) was recorded in April 2023. Also, M. domestica abundance positively correlated significantly (P≤0.001) with temperature (r= 0.895) and relative humidity (r= 0.827). Musca domestica species were molecularly identified, and the sequences were then banked on NCBI under the accession numbers OQ784762-OQ784764. The highest bacterial pathogen presence were Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Bacillus spp. (77.0 %). Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonias had the lowest presence (total of 23.0 %). On the other hand, the results of antibiotic sensitivity revealed that Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia are more resistant to several antibiotics than Staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia coli.

This study evaluated the chemical, physical and sensory properties of canned beaver and nutria. These animals are currently hunted not for their meat, but to reduce their numbers in the wild. The situation is complicated by the fact that both species are on the relevant lists. However, while the beaver is a protected animal, the nutria is an invasive species. This leads to complications in the application of the relevant legislation. Hunters are therefore limited in what they can do with the meat of these species. The chemical composition of the products did not differ (p > 0.05). Canned beaver was the darkest (p < 0.05) product and canned nutria the softest (p < 0.05). Both meat products were sensory acceptable and no off-odour or off-flavour was perceived. Canning meat is something that hunters can easily do at home, and the resulting product meets all the requirements for food safety.

Authors: KOTA SOBHA , BRS Srinivas Gupta , K Mohan Karthikeya , K Surendranath
Published: April 2024

The green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the aqueous extract of the leaves of household vegetable, Trigonella foenum-graecum were characterized and tested for their anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial efficacy with sixteen human clinical isolates. The Formation of AgNPs was confirmed with the surface plasmon spectra of the dark brown solution centered at 448 nm.  The Particle size calculated with XRD data was 41.23 nm and the SEM size ranged between 52.56 nm and 80.51 nm.  The presence of -NH and -OH groups that effectively react and reduce Ag+ ions to Ag0 was evident from the FT-IR spectra.  The particles are predominantly spherical in shape and varied from 5 to 80 nm in size. As Suggested from the analysis by SEM and TEM, majority of them fall between 5 nm and 20 nm. A composite solution of AgNPs with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was electrospun into films and tested on 8 human clinical isolates including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The PVA-AgNP films showed enormous activity against the MRSA prompting further study as wound dressings in the Wistar albino rat model.  Although the animal study was abruptly terminated owing to the pandemic-induced lock down, the preliminary study results for 9 days suggest the potential clinical applications of these wound dressings.  The synthesized AgNPs with and without PVA demonstrated good anti-oxidant activity and highly significant (P = 0.001) zones of inhibition with eighteen clinical isolates were tested.
TRADITIONAL FERMENTED FOOD AND BEVERAGES OF WEST BENGAL: AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW ON MICROBIOLOGY, NUTRITION, AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION OF THE ETHNIC COMMUNITIES

Published: April 2024

From ancient times, fermentation has been utilized globally by various ethnic communities to preserve and store locally available foods items. Traditionally, fermented food and beverages have been an integral part of cultural and social ceremonies of these communities. Fermented food products have been shown to have immense health benefits and are slowly gaining popularity among younger generations. The state of West Bengal (India) has an array of geographically diverse ethnic communities and rich food culture. In this article, a few of the most popular fermented food and beverages across entire West Bengal have been looked into from microbiological and nutritional point of view. The preparation process of each product has been discussed in brief along with the positive and negative aspects of fermented food and beverages. We also compared the main ingredients and end product of fermentation with respect to nutritional value. Many families earn livelihood from selling homemade fermented food and beverages but they should be trained properly to avoid food borne infections, poisoning or fatalities from consumption of fermented products. Development is also needed in making specific government regulations regarding the fermented food and beverages. It is also essential to document and study the existing as well as unexplored fermented food and beverages and standardizing their preparation process as there is a huge scope of commercialization of fermented food products.

Análise de “Espiral”, conto do livro de estreia de Geovani Martins. Nessa narrativa a prefiguração do confronto armado constitui o desenlace quase necessário da existência de profundos antagonismos sociais. Nesse sentido, "Espiral" se encerra em sintonia com certo rumo desastroso da vida nacional. O estímulo ao combate armado passou a estar na ordem do dia, com amplo poder de convencimento em debate incontornável na atualidade brasileira.
Fascismo sem uniforme em imagens de pensamento de Siegfried Kracauer
Authors: Corpas Danielle
Published: April 2024

Entre 1930 e 1933, Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) abordou o fortalecimento do fascismo na Alemanha em textos de diferentes gêneros publicados no Frankfurter Zeitung. Aqui são comentados breves escritos desse período, imagens de pensamento nas quais a reflexão sobre o problema político se configura com a observação de “discretas manifestações de superfície” nas ruas de Berlim. Na leitura desse conjunto destacam-se dois motivos importantes no pensamento de Kracauer: vazio e espera.
Um certo Roberto Schwarz
Authors: Matsunaga Priscila
Published: April 2024

O artigo apresenta alguns traços da obra de Roberto Schwarz: parte do ensaio “Cultura e política, 1964-1969”; apresenta algumas características da peça A lata de lixo da história, reeditada em 2014, e finaliza com observações do que ficou conhecido como Seminários Marx. Não fui apresentada à obra de Roberto Schwarz pelo seu ensaio mais conhecido, As ideias fora do lugar. Neste texto, que apresenta o esqueleto crítico adotado para análise de Machado de Assis, pelo título provocador, é discutido até hoje e mostra a vitalidade de seu pensamento. A ele devo, e também ao ensaio Cultura e política, a inteligibilidade da forma social brasileira e o prazer pela autonomia intelectual. A lata de lixo entra no trajeto pela brutalidade do Brasil de 2019. Pelo seu humor grotesco, a peça oscila entre farsa (ou como o crítico prefere, chanchada) e hiper-realismo. Para concluir, apresento notas sobre os Seminários, evento que reuniu uma produção coletiva de leitura e análise, inteligente e avançada, traços, infelizmente, em desuso.
