Implementing Geographical Information System to Provide Evident Support for Crime Analysis

AbstractGeographical Information System (GIS) is one of the aiding domains of technology where a number of applications are being deployed to assist people in understanding and visualizing data rather than having it in other complex forms. Implementing one of such kinds of technology for crime analysis will help people in knowing the crime rate of their place in comparison to other places and will also provide hand-in-hand support to the police for providing additional focus on those regions. Crimes are the concerning factors of every country for its political, economical and social development. Yet, the number of technologies available in detecting and reporting crimes are limited. A Geographical Information System(GIS) based application can be implemented that can be used and accessed by everyone to file the crimes happening in their locality and to know about other crimes. This paper deals about the GIS based tools and their functions in developing such an application. This application will provide evident support for the officials to monitor and to concentrate more on those localities reported as crime

Attributes and Implications of Gender Discriminations in Women’s Education in a Rural Area of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: the Findings of Focus Group Discussions

India is a fast-growing economy and the scientific and technical advancements in the county have tremendously improved. But when we look at the state of women in our country, we are very backward and women are subjected to severe gender discriminations. This is evident from our falling sex ratio, gender gap in education, employment, health status and the high rates of violence against women. There are many reasons for this unfortunate status of women in our country. Our social norms, cultural beliefs and the patriarchal mindset have made women vulnerable and deprived of freedom and wellbeing

Impact of dietary and lifestyle choices on menstrual patterns in medical students

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate average age of menarche, the pattern and types of menstrual disorders and their relation with BMI, dietary habits, physical exercise and stress.Methods: A cross sectional prospective study was conducted on female medical students during the academic year 2018-2019 at Mallareddy medical college for women, Suraram, Hyderabad, India. The various life style factors including BMI, junk food consumption and physical exercise were factored. Prevalence of each different menstrual abnormality were identified and analyzed by Chi-squire test and p value <0.005 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Study included 255 medical students who had attained menarche without known medical problems. Mean age of menarche was 12.81years. The most frequent menstrual disorders were premenstrual syndrome 192 (75 %), dysmenorrhoea 146 (57 %), and irregular cycle 97(38%). Statistically significant association of Body mass index (BMI) related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhoea was reported (both p<0.05). Similarly, statistically significant association of lack of physical activity had greater risk of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhoea (both p<0.0001). Unhealthy dietary patterns had statistically significant higher risk for dysmenorrhoea (p<0.0001).Conclusions: In conclusion premenstrual symptoms, dysmenorrhoea and menstrual irregularities were more prevalent. Majority of symptoms were stress, pain abdomen, irritability, mood swings. Comprehensive education programs on lifestyle modifications like regular physical activities, promoting healthy eating habits should be emphasised to prevent menstrual abnormalities of young students as early as at school level

Conclusions: From the study it was concluded that the uncontrolled blood sugar levels affect the reproductive health of the study participants.

Alternative Derivations in (1,1) Rings

Objectives: To show the associativity in one of the subclass of non-associative (γ,δ) rings. Method: Derivation alternator rings are limiting case of associative rings. The ring (1,1) is one of the sub class of (γ,δ) rings. Consider a (1,1) derivation alternator ring R, with characteristic ≠ 2, and it is well known that this ring is neither alternative nor flexible. In this paper it will be proved that right alternative property (R,x,x) holds in R and flexibility follows, finally associativity arrives in R. Findings: If this ring R does not contain nilpotent elements even though it will be associative. Novelty: Further investigators may extend the applications of these rings in science and engineering fields. Mathematics Subject Classification: 2010 MSC 17
