Indian textile industry is one of the prominent contributors in the overall country export and national economy. It provides enormous employment opportunities for Indian labour. Textile industry is ranked as the second largest source of employment in India following agriculture. Thus, the growth and the all round development of this industry plays a direct role in the progress of the economy of the nation. Any Industry can face the current global competition and achieve higher productivity if its workforce is committed. To ensure effective performance of all workers towards organization goals, industry must provide proper working conditions, work environment and adequate facilities. Improper work environment and working conditions are not only the reason behind job dissatisfaction increased turnover, reduced performance and productivity but also directly or indirectly impacts the work life balance of workers. So as to retain its skilled workers, it’s important to maintain their satisfaction level in the industry and identify the areas to improve the WLB of workers. The aim of this research is to analyse the satisfaction level of workers with respect to the working conditions in the textile industry and to measure its effect on the work life balance of workers. The population for study consisted of factory workers working in the textile industry of Madhya Pradesh. Managers and supervisors were excluded from the study.The present research was carried out so as to offer an insight and recommend on the ways in order to enhance the WLB by making the working circumstances better for the workforce employed in the textile industry. Findings depict that most of the work-environment allied factors had a negative effect on the work life balance of workers. Results also throw light on the fact that employed workers are not comfortably placed in their workplace and this has rigorous implications on the families, organizations and society in general. It is exceedingly recommended for organizations to follow worker-friendly policy along with more supportive and thoughtful families, so that workers have harmony and their work-life balance could be maintained.

India is a country which is having more youth man power. If we want our country to be a developed one we need to utilize both man and women resource also [2]. In order to achieve this both men and women should be treated equally without any gender discriminations. In order to achieve this we need to provide security for women who is working in late nights and travelling alone for home in order to prevent them from rapes and molestations. If any kind of molestations and rapes happen means it will going to be international news. Because of this entire government and whole country will put into shame. As women’s are going out for work and there are coming to home lately security for them from rapes and molestation plays a vital role in this security. We have to design a device to prevent this for some amount of time so that she can at least escape from that critical life threatening situation because always no one can able to monitor or can stay with her [2]. In order to achieve this we are designing a device that will going to use stun gun to generate small amount of electric shock so that it can make any person to be unconscious for some amount of time as well with the help of this device when she press stun gun it will going to trigger the Arduino [7] so that with the help of GSM [9] and GPS module [8] present in the device we can share the current location of the women in danger an alert message to the predefined users so that we can help the women in no time.

Statistics suggest that, falls in elderly people are more common than we usually anticipate. These falls are often the leading cause of grave injuries and sometimes even lead to death. Astonishingly, falls are the reason of death in 70% of people in the age group of 75 and older. “More than 90 percent of hip fractures occur as a result of falls, with most of these fractures occurring in persons over 70 years of age. One third of community-dwelling elderly persons and 60 percent of nursing home residents fall each year.” (George F. Fuller, COL, MC, USA, White House Medical Clinic, Washington, D.C.; Am Fam Physician, 2000). With such statistical data in hand, it has become an urgent need to device a system to alert the people nearby and attract the help that is direly needed in the situations like these. The purpose of this project is to provide the necessary help through a device that would detect the fall through a series of sensors. The device essentially, measures the speed, orientation, weight of the person in question. It makes use of an associate degree measuring system, a rotating mechanism, a load sensing element, a Wi-Fi module and a microcontroller. Any abruption in the original data in respect to speed, orientation or weight is recorded and further transmitted and monitored to be registered as a fall. Subsequently, an alarm is set into working and the concerned people are notified through a series of signals transmitted and received through the microcontroller. Many a time, a mere change out of co-incidence can get registered as a “fall” and set off false alarms and unnecessarily create panic. Such a situation was anticipated and thus, a safety button, also called as, nap button, was installed in the device. The button snoozes the system of sensors for a certain time period. The device in discussion is customized to be set or fixed on the wheelchairs, if the person in discussion is wheelchair dependent. Additionally, a wearable device is also made available. This custom made device will make it possible for the people to get emergent help and to prevent further catastrophic damage from happening.

In this paper, a combination of high-calcium fly ash (HCFA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) was used along with a combination of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) as alkaline activators (AAs) to produce geopolymer paste and mortar. The alkaline activator ratio (AAR) was maintained at 1.5 apart from their molarity at 10 for the study. A rational method, namely minimum voids approach was used for the mix design. A commercially available glass fibre mesh was used as reinforcement in the geopolymer mortar produced above, to assess its potential for use as a flooring tile. The influence of W/S (water-to-solids) ratio and the influence of various fine aggregates, namely, river sand (R), manufactured sand (M) and construction demolition waste (D) on the various geopolymer system (GP) and on the strength characteristics, are highlighted. A maximum transverse strength (TS) of 6.25 N/mm2 could be attained by the geopolymer tile, using three layers of glass fibre mesh and GP mortar developed. The study indicates that a combination of FA and GGBFS helps us to attain substantial strength under ambient temperature in geopolymer mortar.

wireless communication systems rely on antennas for signal reception. Proper placement of antennas is important to achieve successful wireless communication according to satellites / transmitters. Manual antenna changes are often risky in a way that usually results in unexpected accidents and can lead to death. To determine its position, the sensors are mounted on the antenna, and the motors change their position. Because the location of a transmitting station changes over time, antenna path must also be changed accordingly. This system will track the location of the antennas and provide new coordinates for the antenna positioning. Correctly position antenna is done by this system. We are therefore proposing an IOT based antenna positioning system that enables antennas to be placed remotely based on IOT. The paper explains how to implement the current and evolving technologies in Antenna Positioning. We can essentially use this device to place antennas respectively in the desired direction using IoT.

The trend of network attacks through end-users are widely used by attackers today. One of them is the attack by distributing malware into users' computers to steal data or escalate to higher privileges. The technique of attack by distributing malware is a dangerous attack method that is difficult to detect and prevent. Therefore, the task of detecting the sign of malware and alerting it for the user or the system is very necessary today. Current studies and recommendations for detecting malware are often based on two main methods that are using a set of signs and analyzing abnormal behavior based on machine learning or deep learning. In this paper, we will propose a method to detect malware on users' computers using an Event ID profile analysis technique. Event IDs are signs and behaviors of malware that are tracked and collected on the operating system kernel of the workstation. The difference between our research and other published methods is the way to collect behaviors of the malware. We don't collect them through virtualization systems, but through direct processes in the operating system kernel. Therefore, even though malware uses hidden techniques, its actions are recorded by the operating system kernel and based on those processes, we use the Event ID analysis technique to conclude about the existence of malware in the system.

Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are one of the most reliable devices to control the vibration of the structure. The optimum mass ratio required for a single tuned mass damper (STMD) is evaluated corresponding to the fundamental natural frequency of the structure. The effect of STMD and Multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) on a G+20 storey structure are studied to demonstrate the damper’s effectiveness in seismic application. The location and number of tuned mass dampers are studied to give best structural performance in maximum reduction of seismic response for El Centro earthquake data. The analysis results from SAP 2000 software tool shows damper weighing 2.5% of the total weight of the structure effectively reduce the response of the structure. Study shows that introduction of 4-MTMD at top storey can effectively reduce the response by 10% more in comparison to single tuned mass damper. The use of MTMD of same mass ratio that of STMD is more effective in seismic response.

This paper underlines research gaps that may help researchers to find a future direction. This paper adds to the existing pool of literature by presenting the work in form of systematic literature review, which states that not much study has been conducted that thoroughly reviews and compiles research findings available in this field. So through this article, we have tried to fill this gap.
Predicting U.S. College Students’ Interest in Studying in China: Social Influence, Personal Experiences, Country Reputation, and Media Coverage
Authors: Yang Hongwei , Wang Yingqi
Published: May 2020

An online survey of 374 US college students was conducted in April 2015 to examine whether and how subjective norm, direct and indirect experiences related to China, their perceptions of China (China’s country reputation), and media coverage of China influence their interests of studying in China. Statistical results show that their subjective norm, China’s reputation, and media coverage of China positively predicted their attitudes toward studying in China (R2= 51.5), whereas their intent to study in China (R2= 35.2) was determined by their attitudes, subjective norm, and China experiences. The study indicates that social influence or normative pressure is a much more important factor to shape their attitudes toward studying in China than their overall perceptions of China and media coverage of China. Social influence is also the second most significant predictor of their intent to study in China. The important theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

Promoting Student Engagement: The Efficacy of a Criminal Justice Short-Term Study Abroad Program
Authors: Capps Jennifer E. , Bradford Jennifer , Namgung Hyon
Published: May 2020

In this study, the authors assessed student engagement during a short-term faculty-led criminal justice study abroad course using elements of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).  Study Abroad education has been identified as a high impact learning strategy but has not been well validated particularly when delivered in a short-term format. This study is a partial replication of Rourke & Kanuka’s Student Engagement and Study Abroad study (2012). Data were collected from a group of Metropolitan State University of Denver undergraduate students over a period of two years from five different courses traveling to three different destinations for study abroad education. A comparison of responses from the two administrations of the NSSE-based surveys indicated that students’ engagement increased after their participation in the programs. Students’ knowledge in international criminal justice system also improved. Limitations and areas for further research are also discussed.
Intercultural Knowledge Development During Short-Term Study Abroad in the Basque Country: A Cultural and Linguistic Minority Context
Authors: Gondra Ager , Czerwionka Lori
Published: May 2020

This investigation examined intercultural knowledge development in a short-term study abroad program in a cultural and linguistic minority context (Basque Country, Spain). A pre- and post-program quantitative and qualitative design was used with 26 participants. The quantitative, survey-based results demonstrated an increase in intercultural knowledge over the five weeks. Qualitative analysis of interview data indicated that students’ intercultural knowledge aligned with Lussier’s (2007)description of knowledge about small c culture and included knowledge of social groups—a distinct finding from prior research. Students’ knowledge changed over the period abroad, indicating adjustment to City life and Time and Schedule norms. Additionally, knowledge growth was greatest with respect to subthemes strongly linked to the minority context (e.g. Basque ethnicity, culture, language). This study offers detailed information about intercultural knowledge development during short-term study abroad and demonstrates that minority context programs encourage development of intercultural knowledge about small c culture and social groups.

Student Learning Objectives: What Instructors Emphasize in Short-Term Study Abroad
Authors: Niehaus Elizabeth , Woodman Taylor C. , Bryan Angela , Light Ashley , Hill Erika
Published: May 2020

Given that higher education institutions are increasingly utilizing short term study abroad courses as a means to develop students’ intercultural competency, it is important to determine if and how the instructors leading these programs are incorporating intercultural learning into their courses. By examining learning objectives embedded within syllabi from short term study abroad courses, the purpose of this study was to identify the relative extent to which instructors emphasize disciplinary and intercultural learning in teaching short term study abroad courses, and to examine the types of intercultural learning that instructors are explicitly including in their courses. Findings point to a wide diversity of emphasis on disciplinary cont ent and intercultural learning, with slightly more courses emphasizing disciplinary content than intercultural learning. Of those learning objectives that focus on intercultural learning, the vast majority focused on intercultural knowledge rather than skills or attitudes.

Принципы реконструкции и развития архитектурно-пространственной среды исторического центра г. Бреста
Authors: Винник А. Н.
Published: May 2020

Сейчас меняется подход к стратегическому городскому планированию, оно переосмысливается. Сегодня на первый план должно выходить не количество, а качество застройки. Современный город должен быть компактным. Поэтому Бресту надо использовать резерв внутри, реконструируя и используя неэффективные территории. Архитектурно-пространственная среда исторического центра — это очень хрупкая материя, вернуть которую нельзя. К ней нужен особый подход. Городская среда требует реконструкции в исторических кварталах на основе исторических планировочных законов и современных градостроительных нормативов, позволяющих сохранить масштаб, культурную идентичность и достоинства исторической среды. Соблюдение этих правил плюс регламентация плотности застройки приведет к сохранению органичного масштаба застройки и естественному обновлению среды, а определенные принципы позволят использовать территорию исторического центра города, сохраняя и эффективно используя историко-культурное наследие, обладающее уникальными стилистическими особенностями.
Differences in the availability of transport possibilities in Czech municipalities and socio-geographical micro-regions
Authors: Marada Miroslav , Květoň Viktor
Published: May 2020

The aim of this paper is to analyse the spatial differentiation of transport possibilities, i.e. the availability of public transport connections (bus and train) and households equipped with cars. Monitoring has been carried out on two levels. First, an analysis of differences in transport possibilities was made, in socio-geographical regions (with at least a sub-regional extent of powers) and at the municipality level, using essential statistical indexes, spatial autocorrelation (the univariate LISA procedure) and cartographic observations. Anticipated socio-geographical conditional factors as well as geo-societal factors were observed and these are evaluated in the second part of the paper. The last step involved the creation of a typology of socio-geographical micro-regions, in terms of their transport possibilities and using cluster analysis. It is evident that the rate of automoblization is not spatially differentiated to the same degree as public transport connections, which differ significantly among municipalities and socio-geographical regions. Altogether, six main types of regions are described, in the context of transport availability in Czechia.
Die Entdifferenzierung des Privaten. Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit unter den Bedingungen einer medial und funktional differenzierten Gesellschaft : The disintegration of privacy. Privacy and public sphere under conditions of a medially and functionally differentiated society
Authors: Pabst Sabine
Published: May 2020

During the last 200 years media culture has changed dramatically and with it the participation and use of media by recipients. With a summary reconstruction of the medial and societal transformation processes in that period this paper aims to explain the observation of increasing self-expression,
and the disintegration of the private and public spheres. It shall provide evidence, that this behaviour is used as a strategic one, which may enable individuals or users, respectively, to compensate for allegedly lost authenticity in their living environment.
Ein handlungstheoretisches Modell zu Identitätsarbeit und Privatheit im Alltag und im Social Web
Authors: Trültzsch-Wijnen Sascha
Published: May 2020

Identity construction and privacy are closely connected in both everyday routines as well as in online environments such as social network sites. The paper argues that an overall approach of action theory combined with systemic perspective of dispositif / apparatus can be adapted to
get theoretical and empirical insights into identity work and related privacy concepts. Based on situational approaches towards social action, the negotiation processes of self presentation can be described. With regard to online communication and self presentation the technical aspect –
understood as a dispositif setting – becomes more crucial then in face to face situations. To understand online privacy an approach of identity construction in every day lifeworld is outlined, embedding online action and attitude.
