The Role of Contract Laws in Corporate Transactions
Authors: - Aman Kakkar , - Shilpa Mehrotra
Published: April 2024

Contract laws in India play an important role in regulating and facilitating corporate transactions within the country's legal framework. This research paper provides an insight of the importance and functions of contract laws in the context of corporate dealings in India.
In general, contract laws in India, primarily governed by the Indian Contract Act, 1872, provide the foundation for establishing legally binding agreements between parties involved in corporate transactions. These laws ensure that contracts are formed based on the principles of offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, legality, and free consent, thereby fostering trust and predictability in business dealings.
The contract laws in India play an important role in structuring various corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, and commercial contracts. Contracts in these transactions address a range of issues such as terms of sale, purchase price, representations and warranties, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The Contracts Act, along with specific statutes such as the Companies Act, 2013, and the Competition Act, 2002, govern the formation and execution of contracts in corporate contexts, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protecting the interests of stakeholders.
In spite of the robust legal framework provided by contract laws, challenges such as enforcement issues, contractual disputes, and delays in judicial proceedings persist in India's corporate landscape. Therefore, contract laws in India serve as the cornerstone of corporate transactions, providing the necessary legal framework for parties to engage in commercial activities with confidence and clarity. By ensuring the enforceability of agreements, addressing legal complexities, and promoting fairness and transparency, contract laws contribute to the growth and stability of India's corporate sector. Efforts to streamline legal processes, enhance dispute resolution mechanisms, and promote compliance with contractual obligations can further strengthen the role of contract laws in facilitating seamless corporate transactions in India.

Published: April 2024

Public transportation play an important role in metropolitan cities.Bus services are an important part of public transportation systems, which are frequently chosen because they are convenient, economical, environmentally beneficial, and less taxing on the infrastructure. The temporal patterns of bus transportation incidents are examined in this study using survival analysis, with a focus on the amount of time until certain events like delays, malfunctions, or safe arrivals at destinations. High-dimensional data is being generated at an increasing rate due to technological advancements. As a result, it is quite difficult to analyze such a dataset adequately. Algorithms for machine learning (ML) have become popular tools for modeling complex and nonlinear interactions in a variety of real-world applications, including as the analysis of high-dimensional survival data. Multilayer Deep Neural Network (DNN) models have achieved impressive results recently.
Thus, using Keras and TensorFlow, a Cox-based DNN prediction survival model (DNNSurv model) was created. Its findings, however, were limited to survival datasets with large sample sizes or high dimensionality.
Using high dimensional survival data, the proposed work will evaluate the DNNSurv model's prediction ability and compare it to a well-known machine learning survival prediction model (random survival forest). The Proposed Work also offers the best settings for a number of hyperparameters, including tuning parameter selection, for this reason. The suggested approach showed through data analysis that, when compared to the ML model, the DNNSurv model performed better overall in terms of the two primary survival prediction evaluation measures (i.e., the concordance index and the time-dependent AUC).

Traditions of Learning and Role of Teachers: An Indian Perspective
Authors: - Dr. Mamta Rani , - Ms. Neetu
Published: April 2024

A school teacher, also known as an educator, is a person who helps students acquire knowledge, skills or virtues through the practice of teaching. Informally, anyone can take on the role of a teacher (e.g. showing a colleague how to do a particular task). In some countries, teaching of school-age young people may take place in an informal setting, such as within the family (home schooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth workers, pastors). In most countries, formal teaching of pupils is usually provided by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those whose main role is to teach others in a formal educational context, such as a school or other place of initial formal education or training. It also discusses the role of the teacher in Indian tradition and in modern education, using the examples of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University and the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. The paper concludes with the authors' observations, suggesting that education policy needs to be reshaped, with emphasis on improving professional training in government institutions and universities, and developing partnerships between industry and academia. Teaching is a highly complex activity. This is partly because teaching is a social practice that takes place in a specific context (time, place, culture, socio-political-economic situation, etc.) and is therefore shaped by the values of that specific context. Factors that influence what is expected (or required) of teachers includes history and tradition, social views of the purpose of education, accepted theories of learning, etc.

A Study on the Variations in Lateral Loading Imapcats Between Medium and High-rise Buildings Under Diverse Enviromental Conditions
Authors: - Abhishek Kumar , - Shantnu , - Onkar Sharad
Published: April 2024

-This thesis investigates the lateral loading effects on medium and high-rise buildings and compares their responses under different loading conditions. The study aims to provide insights into the behavior of these structures and aid in designing safer and more efficient buildings. The research methodology comprises analytical and numerical simulations of both medium and high-rise buildings subjected to various lateral loads. The analytical approach involves the use of hand calculations and mathematical models to determine the response of the building under different loading scenarios. The numerical simulations utilize computer software to model the structural behavior of the buildings and predict their response to lateral loads. The study focuses on four main lateral load types: wind loads, seismic loads. The loading conditions are applied to the buildings individually, and their responses are compared in terms of their lateral displacement, drift, and acceleration. The results show that both medium and high-rise buildings are susceptible to lateral loads, and their response depends on various factors such as building height, stiffness, and load duration. The lateral displacement of the high-rise building is more significant than the medium-rise building under all types of loading conditions. The results also show that the acceleration of the high-rise building is more significant under seismic loads than wind load. The study provides valuable insights into the behavior of medium and high-rise buildings under different lateral loading conditions. The findings of the study can be used to improve the design of these structures and enhance their resilience to lateral loads. The study recommends that designers should pay close attention to the building's lateral load resisting system and consider the impact of structural irregularities to ensure the building's safety and stability.

Contesting Narratives: A Comparative Analysis of Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri Print Media Framing of the Abrogation of Article 370
Authors: - Tehmina Firdous , - Mehrajudin Aslam Najar
Published: April 2024

The revocation of Article 370 by the Indian government in August 2019, stripping Jammu and Kashmir of its semi-autonomous status, dramatically exacerbated tensions in the long-standing Kashmir conflict. This decisive unilateral action triggered a harsh security crackdown and communications blackout in the Kashmir Valley. Given the disputed territory's centrality to Indo-Pak relations and regional stability, the framing of this pivotal event by Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri media assumed immense geopolitical significance.
This study comparatively examined the dominant frames employed by elite English newspapers in all three stakeholder regions - The Hindu in India, Dawn in Pakistan, and Kashmir Times representing the local Kashmiri press. Underpinned by framing theory, a deductive qualitative content analysis revealed starkly divergent framings aligned with the respective nationalistic stances. The findings expose how media outlets strategically amplified certain aspects while marginalizing others to promote polarizing master narratives reflecting national interests regarding the Kashmir dispute.
The implications underscore media's power to construct contested realities serving partisan interests in protracted geopolitical conflicts. To uphold ethical journalism principles, prevent further escalation, and promote inclusive human rights framing, the study recommends transnational collaboration between Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri outlets rooted in objectivity and impartiality.

Published: April 2024

Urban agglomerations in India support more than 30% of its population today and are expanding rapidly. The metropolitan city of Jaipur supports nearly 30 lakh population and attracts millions every day towards the wide range of economic and employment opportunity it provides. Such big urban centre drains and absorbs all the available resources of the nearby area which supplements its expansion as major economic hub, “as a mother city”. Growth triggered expansion in developing countries like India is mostly so haphazard, unplanned and unchecked that it consumes surrounding small cities/towns. Therefore, the planning of these smaller municipalities adjacent to a major city (Satellite towns) becomes inevitable for the sustainable growth of urban centers and equitable resource allocation in future. “Bagru” is one such satellite town located along the south western fringes of Jaipur city, 30kms away on NH-8 .The study tries to contemplate “Bagru” as a satellite town along with other 15 towns for the master plan of Jaipur 2025 including parameters like economic potential, socio-economic and physical structure, connectivity, population.

Developmental milestones were age-appropriate till 11 months of age (before the seizure). After the seizure, the child’s motor development regressed and the child was not able to sit, or stand. The speech and language milestones were appropriate to the age before the seizure and regressed after the seizure.

Conclusion:
In our study, it's very clear that the child experiencing neuro-regression which is evident based on the parents’ report, previous and present clinical assessments as well and clinical observation. Regression is an indication that more investigation is necessary and team members like a Developmental Paediatrician, Neurologist, and Clinical Psychologist should be involved.

he Northwestern Hub for Bat Population Research and Monitoring (NW Bat Hub), as part of the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat), developed a regional protocol (Rodriguez et al. 2019) to guide multi-agency collaborative implementation of summertime acoustic surveys to track the status and trends of bat populations. See Loeb et al. (2015) and Reichert et al. (2021) for a description of the full NABat plan including winter bat colony counting. The protocol provides guidance specifically for parks in the National Park Service (NPS) North Coast Cascades, Upper Columbia Basin, and Klamath Networks. This protocol implementation plan (PIP) outlines how the protocol will be implemented by NW Bat Hub and National Park staff within this three-network/three-state (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) region. Specific topics for NPS implementation of the protocol that require additional details beyond those outlined by Rodriguez et al. (2019) are the specific NPS requirements for data management, analysis, reporting, and a budget for NPS to contribute to long-term sustainability of the NW Bat Hub and protocol implementation. Surveys will be conducted on and adjacent to NPS lands collaboratively by NPS and NW Bat Hub staff. Roles and responsibilities for protocol implementation with be established prior to each field season depending on staff capacities and interests. This PIP is versionable and it will be updated periodically alongside updates to the protocol itself, and as other operational changes are made. The PIP serves to document why and how NPS will engage as an NABat partner in the Pacific Northwest and with the national NABat program led by US Geological Survey Fort Collins Science Center (USGS-FORT), the role of summertime acoustic monitoring as a way for NPS to meet its vital signs monitoring goals for bats (Garrett et al. 2007), the stewardship of acoustic data by NW Bat Hub and USGS-FORT on behalf of NPS, and the Hub?s role as a source of coordinated conservation expertise for NPS and other regional collaborators.

This PIP contains a detailed overview of how the protocol will be used in National Park units in the Pacific Northwest. It is intended for use by NPS and NW Bat Hub coordinators and team leaders, program administrators, field crew leads, and data analysts who need to be conversant in the details of the program. Standard operating procedures that detail the operational-level information can be located in the protocol narrative by Rodriguez et al. (2019).
Toxicological reconnaissance of Arsenal? use along the Rio Grande River through Big Bend National Park: Final report
Authors: Walker David , Renfrow Jeffrey
Published: April 2024

This study examined the biological response of aquatic organisms, collected in situ and from laboratory toxicity testing of water and soil to the herbicide Arsenal? primarily used to decrease the invasive species Arundo donax in the Rio Grande River through Big Bend National Park in Texas (USA). Biological, toxicological, physicochemical, and flow data were collected before, during, and after an Arsenal? treatment from 4 reference and 3 treatment sites. Significant differences existed in ecoregion 24 B-IBI scoring, and in toxicity testing of water and sediment, between treatment and reference sites. Greater toxicity, and a higher inverse relationship to B-IBI scoring, was observed in sediment samples compared to water samples. This could be due to the surfactant nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), added to the Arsenal? formulation rather than the active ingredient imazapyr.

Care must be implemented with the results of this research due to many confounding variables that occurred during the study period including flash flooding. Although flashy hydrology is relatively common to the region, it can influence aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblage structure, function, and species richness measures with these dropping due to scour and downstream displacement within a reach during, and for some period following, flooding. Therefore, flash flooding would be expected to have some effect on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages and subsequent B-IBI scoring.

Additionally, flooding will cause some displacement, and deposition, of sediment throughout the study area. This flooding could impact the sediment toxicity results as sediment-bound contaminants could be spread some distance from their origin.

Arsenal? treatment occurred during this study near sites Treatment 1 and Treatment 2 on 5/29 and 5/31 2022 respectively. This represented an extreme condition as far as concentration of potential toxicants in the water are concerned and these relatively high concentrations would be expected to have decreased within a relatively short period of time, especially in the water.

It was outside of the scope and budget of this project to obtain concentrations of imazapyr or surfactants from sediment or water. Therefore, exact doses of imazapyr or surfactant for response curves could not be obtained.

No sample site exists in isolation rather, influences from one reach can significantly impact downstream areas. This is especially true for aquatic ecosystems in arid regions that often exhibit flashy hydrology. However, we believe the findings from this study provide indication of potential toxicity of some magnitude as well as provide direction for management. Decisions of whether the toxic effects of herbicide use to aquatic macroinvertebrates outweigh the beneficial effects of Arundo donax control should be carefully considered.
Study of Adverse Factors During Training with Virtual Reality Simulator

Published: April 2024

Currently, the dynamic development of information technology contributes to the increasingly widespread application of Virtual Reality (VR) as modern and effective methods and training tools used in the process of self-education and/or training related to understanding the essence of the principles of operation and mastering the tasks of operating even complex systems or technical processes through simulating their actions. A significant argument for the use of virtual reality simulators in training uniformed services is the favorable cost-effect ratio and considerations of trainee safety. However, the use of VR simulators may be accompanied by the possibility of side effects or intensified symptoms of the so-called cybersickness. Bearing this in mind, the purpose of this article is to present the results of preliminary studies of adverse factors occurring during training using a VR simulator. The theoretical foundation for empirical research was provided by the results of a conducted review and analysis of literary content. Among the empirical methods, studies were conducted using a simulator sickness questionnaire and a research trial according to the parallel triangulation strategy scheme, involving the simultaneous use of quantitative and qualitative methods. The results obtained in this way can provide a valuable source of information about factors increasing the risk of adverse symptoms of cybersickness and ways of their mitigation, and can serve for further work on their development and application of VR simulators.

Published: April 2024

This study addresses concerns about the effectiveness of conventional evacuation signs in directing occupants during emergencies, particularly in situations involving obstacles like smoke, flames, or high temperatures. The research explores innovative solutions to enhance safety during evacuations, focusing on two main approaches: the Active Dynamic Signage System (ADSS) and the dynamic evacuation control system. The study introduces the concept of 23 different pictograms utilizing LED technology, with the "no-entry" sign receiving the highest rating during evaluations.

The research emphasizes the importance of dynamic evacuation control systems, suggesting the integration of signs forbidding entry into hazardous spaces. The study concludes that efficient evacuation is crucial for safety culture, necessitating a discussion on the introduction of a new pictogram – the NO ENTRY sign – into the evacuation sign catalog. The authors advocate for the adoption of a dynamic evacuation lighting system and offer an open license for the proposed pictograms to encourage broad discourse.
