Abstract
Environmental issue bear on human activity that recast global environment, and those environmental activities and the effects of the changes in nature, societies and economics, human expect to have combat in environment. The ways in which people and establishment respond to the changes. It also involves the broader social, political, and economic processes and institutions that frame human cooperation with the environment and influence human behaviour and decisions. Thus, one of the human dimensions of global change involves the practical use of scientific information and the issue of how to make such information more significant for decision making. This new economic reality is having a profound effect on environmental policy, because at root-many environmental questions are economic questions. Commonly, environmental laws is apparatus by which the environmental costs of economic activity are internalized in real time. The article examines confusion of environmental concerns for social work practice and research.

Abstract
The life-cycle of the ferns and fern-allies is dependent upon the existence of forests, but due to habitat destruction many species have been reduced and the rare ferns are being extinct or are on the verge of extinction. Being the second largest group of vascular plants, Pteridophytes form a significant and dominant component of many plant communities. All human activities disturb the vegetation by eliminating many species. So an up to date study is very important for knowing about flora, especially in the case of pteridophytes. The present effort was undertaken to enumerate the pteridophytic species present in Kilavarai river situated in Palni hills of southern Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India, the study was carried out from December 2014 to January 2016. The result ofthe present study revealed that 36 pteridophytic species belonging to 25 genera distributed among 19 families were noted from the study site. Among the families recorded, Adiantaceae (16.67%) was found to be dominant and largest family comprising 6 species. Polypodiaceae and Pteridaceae (each of 11.11%) shared the second largest family status; they were represented by 4 species each. The third largest family was Lycopodiaceae (8.33%); it was represented by 3 species. The families Cheilanthaceae, and Selaginellaceae were recorded with each of 2 species (5.56%) and 11 families were represented by single species (2.78%). Moreover, terrestrial species (27 species) were found to be more in number than epiphytic (5 species), 3 species were foundas both epiphytic and lithophytic species and 1 species was recorded as purely lithophytic.

Pages: 47-49
Abstract
Parents and educators, especially heads of institutions, are two pillars with a significant influence on grooming learners. Unless discipline is tackled from an early age, achieving quality education with full learner impact will remain a challenge. Discipline is the deliberate, or lack of, action to regulate behaviour. It is the practice of frank and strict adherence to legislation and guidelines, and cultural standards and values; the ability to control oneself or other people, even in challenging circumstances. Discipline means teaching acceptable behaviours and unlearning maladaptive behaviours with support, guidance and direction in managing behaviour. It is about setting limits, clarifying roles, responsibilities, and mutual expectations and creating a predictable, orderly and stable life.In line with the famous quote,“choices have consequences”, not observing or practicing discipline should result in some form of corrective measures. Situations abound where, unfortunately, such a ‘correction’ results from a serious trigger with devastating consequences. Lack of individual discipline, including observing simple instructions like washing hands thoroughly with soap, keeping a one-to-two-meter social distance, and going into self-quarantine for 14 days, is exacerbating the exponential spread of the pandemic.

Abstract
Proposed automated crop field surveillance using computer vision. In this system the long range camera are placed at the corner of field or land with considering maximum field of view of camera. When animal is detected by the camera the distance between camera and speaker is calculated. Animals like wild boars, buffaloes, cows, elephant, monkeys, birds, etc. damages the crop a lot which results in loss of production and so of farmer. It is very difficult for a farmer to keep an eye on the field every time. This system is designed to surveillance the field 24*7 which is not possible for a human being and diverts the animals without harming them. The system uses raspberry pi, PIR sensor to detect animal, camera module to look on animal, GSM module to send alert message to farmer, and a buzzer to divert the animals. This system ensures the safety of farm and decreases the loss of farmers.

Pages: 37-39
Abstract
Dyes have a synthetic origin and complex aromatic molecular structures. These structures make them more stable and more difficult to biodegrade. Aside from the degradation of dyes or dye waste, the decolorization of wastewater is also important. Because the color in dye wastewater is highly visible, it must be treated. Now a days technology of wastewater treatment has difficulty in meeting all the practical requirements of harmless wastewater discharge and therefore, the exploration and development of new technologies to treat various types of wastewaters are vitally needed. The main objective of the work is to prepare an activated adsorbent from waste leaves and banana trunk for removing the colour from effluent. This project not only deals with the dye related waste but also harmful chemicals in the water. These industries spend a lot of money in cleaning these wastes but nature has a solution for everything this activated charcoal adsorbent can adsorb all the color in the water along with the chemicals and help to filter the water. This filterate can be removed again and can be used as a fertilizer to plants as it has a lot of carbon and nitrogen content which enriches the nutrition of the plant.To evaluate the efficiency of the activated waste leaves and banana trunk, column adsorption technique is selected in the removal of synthetic dye. Finally, the challenges and prospects of wastewater treatment are summarized.

Abstract
This paper is based on both the primary and secondary data. The primary data is collected from the state of Goa, India. Out of a total of 500 SHGs functioning in Goa at present 100 SHGs are promoted by the National Co-operative Union of India (NCUI). Self-Help Groups are the voluntary organizations which disburse micro credit to the members and facilitate them to enter into entrepreneurial activities. Every member of the group gets an opportunity to put forth her views. Self Help Groups (SHGs) of women in India have been recognized as an effective strategy for the empowerment of women in rural as well as urban areas. Throughout the vicissitudes of history women had collectively struggled against direct and indirect barriers to their self-development and their full social, political and economic participation. As an agent of people’s planning and development, Kudumbasree Ayalkoottam is the lowest most unit in Kerala’s contemporary democracy. The collective and integrated activities of the SHGs will help them in sustaining their family economically, giving better education to their children, meeting financial crisis in the family and meting any crisis independently.

Abstract
Today’s corporate world is increasingly suffered with inexpert manpower as graduate employees lack interpersonal skills which plays an indispensable role in bonding with other professional groups and broader community. Since, employers are now more focused on interpersonal skills rather than Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), it is an irrefutable fact that imparting technical knowledge along with the knowledge of communicative competence in English takes a lion’s share in professional success. But the graduates are not ready to learn personality traits, behavioural changes, official demureness and decency to find a better place in their career. Proficiency in English communication does not come naturally to graduates in India as English is not their first language or the mother tongue. While inculcating English language, objectives and methods taught are mostly enabling the students to rewrite the learned or by hearted information and facts in written form of examination. It is painful to say that oral communication in English, a medium to express feelings and ideas, is not really given practice as the components to facilitate oral communication, although present, are not adequate. This can be achievable onlythrough a proper strategy that is focused on imparting technical knowledge as well as improving effective communication and persuasive skills rather than emphasizing to incorporate a course on communication skills. This paper attempts to highlight such a strategy on communication skills for engineering students.

Abstract
Bio-gas/ Gobar-gas is of more important in this days energy resources. It is very much important fuel in low cost with good efficiency. Fossil fuels are going to end in upcoming 50 years. So we have to make good quality of alternative fuel like bio-gas. Production of bio gas/ gobar-gas depend on using of waste and organic feed-stock matter, that provides an excellent solution for organic waste management. There are different parameters those disturb the yield of bio-gas by anaerobic digestion. .Bio-gas is a mixing of different gases that is an outcome of anaerobic (absence of air) digestion. It consists mainly methane-(CH4) and carbon dioxide-(CO2) which are the main greenhouse-gases and other different impurities. The substrate for anaerobic digested is a different kind of organic waste matter means it decreases load of disposal of organic load of wastes due to the uncontrolled open dumping of organic discarded waste. There are e biogas output rate including the usage of feedstock temperature, hydraulic retention time, C/N ratio, pH value, mixing, feed stock loading rate, agitation, etc. Currently Bio-gas is solving problems of fuel in rural areas to some extent.

Abstract
This study aim is to analyse the impact of globalization on income distribution. The process of globalization, marked by increased international trade, capital flows, and technological advancements, has significantly reshaped the global economic landscape. One of its most debated aspects is its impact on income distribution within and among countries. Globalization has undoubtedly led to economic growth, enabling nations to tap into larger markets, enhance productivity, and create jobs. However, its impact on income distribution is complex. On one hand, globalization has the potential to reduce poverty by fostering economic development and providing new opportunities. On the other hand, it can exacerbate income inequality, especially within countries. Skilled workers in industries exposed to international competition often benefit from globalization, enjoying higher wages and improved living standards. In contrast, low-skilled workers may face job displacement or stagnant wages due to outsourcing and competition from cheaper labour markets abroad. Several factors contribute to this disparity. Technological advancements and automation, driven by globalization, often favour skilled workers, leaving the less-skilled labour force at a disadvantage. Moreover, multinational corporations seeking cost efficiency may exploit wage differentials across countries, leading to social inequalities. Additionally, the globalization of financial markets can amplify income disparities, as those with investment opportunities benefit disproportionately compared to those without such access. Mitigating these negative effects requires a holistic approach. Investments in education and skill development are crucial to prepare the workforce for the demands of the global economy. Social safety nets, progressive taxation, and labor market policies can help cushion the impact on vulnerable populations. Moreover, fostering fair trade practices and ensuring responsible corporate behavior are essential steps toward a more equitable global economic landscape. In conclusion, while globalization offers immense opportunities for economic growth and poverty reduction, addressing its impact on income distribution is essential for ensuring that these benefits are shared inclusively, fostering a more just and sustainable global society.

Abstract
Nowadays global warming effect, in general, is a great concern for the scientific communities of the world. It constitutes the emission of greenhouse gases such as Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, Methane, and so on. Methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. This mini-review focuses on the different sources of methane emission and its mitigation. The five different emission sources are Land Fills, Rice Paddy Fields, Ruminants, Waste Water, and Coal Mines. Several emission studies and their control treatments had been a discussion of interest. Ultimately to our goodwill, several solutions are coming up that have solved real-life problems regarding the mitigation of methane from the environment. Several of these solutions are specific to their emission specificities. While these provide a narrow genre of solutions, it also cuts down on the decision making of analysis between different solutions. Several of these solutions need a thorough discussion and review to make the least of concern the decision of choosing a bit easier on the readers. Clearance of the pros and cons of every method are discussed give a clear view of the methods of methane mitigation.

Abstract
Concrete meets the needs of sustainability in terms of economic, environmental, and social considerations. The material itself provides a wide range of benefits, including acoustics, vibration, fire, thermal mass, durability, security, sustainability, air tightness, and flood resistance. For many years, the vast majority of concrete structures around the world have performed satisfactorily, but progress has not been without its challenges. Quality control has deteriorated over time due to the use of poor quality ingredients, uncontrolled use of water in terms of both quality and quantity, poor quality shuttering, poor or no compaction, and inadequate curing. There is also a decline in the level of standard skill among the Artisans as well as those who supervise and accept the works. While older structures can serve adequately, newer constructions are showing signs of distress within a couple of years of completion. It is past time to pay closer attention to the fundamental issues. At the moment, attention is primarily focused on environmental attack, which is significantly reducing the lives of many concrete structures around the world, in many cases due to reinforcement steel corrosion. Deterioration of recent concrete structures has been observed at relatively faster rates, and has been attributed primarily to cracking.

Pages: 4-7
Abstract
This paper aims to evaluate the potential benefits of incorporating big data in the study of consumer behaviour. The methodology involves summarizing the opportunities and changes that big data can introduce to consumer behavior research. The findings suggest that big data can enhance our understanding of the consumer decision-making process at every stage. Traditionally, consumer behaviour research relied on a priori theory followed by experimentation, but the advent of big data may alter the feedback loopbetween theory and results. One of the limitations of this research lies in the emergence of a new data culture in marketing practice, advocating for inductive data processing and A/B testing over human intuition-based deduction. This approach opens up possibilities for utilizing various secondary data sources. However, the use of big data may also be constrained by issues such as poor data quality, unrepresentative, and volatility. From a practical standpoint, managers seeking insights into consumer behavior will require new skill sets, including proficiency in Big Data consumer analytics. Nonetheless, embracing big data in the study of consumer behavior offers the potential for evolution and progress amid the big data revolution.
