Bipolar Harmonic encoding of CMB correlation patterns

Deviations from statistical isotropy can be modeled in various ways, for instance, anisotropic cosmological models (Bianchi models), compact topologies and presence of primordial magnetic field. Signature of anisotropy manifests itself in CMB correlation patterns. Here we explore the symmetries of the correlation function and its implications on the observable measures constructed within the Bipolar harmonic formalism for these variety of models. Different quantifiers within the Bipolar harmonic representation are used to distinguish between plausible models of breakdown of statistical isotropy and as a spectroscopic tool for discriminating between distinct cosmic topology.Comment: Revised version, accepted for publication in Phys.

An Anthropolological Study towards the Religious Beliefs amongst the Youths in India

Religion is among one of the many social institutions which are intrinsic part of a society and it exist in some form or another in almost every known society With the advancement of science and technology some of the theories of religion have been questioned and debated in the past and recent times yet the religious belief remained a corner stone in the mindset of general folk But the youth who feel reluctant to anything which is less descriptive or does not hold any scientific end are asked to share their views about the religious faith The key objectives of the research project were to understand the importance of religion in youth s life to understand how religious practices have impact on their life and to understand the cause and degree of religious belief amongst youths The cause and the degree of belief were recorded and the data analysed to know the psyche of the country s youth and the impact religion is making in their lif

Mental health status and stress management behaviour amongst the youths of delhi/ncr

Mental disorders are of major public health significance. The aetiology behind mental disorders is multifold. There are many attributing factors responsible for the onset of mental illness. Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health concerns in our society. They are often experienced as a complex set of emotional and functional challenges. The present study was conducted among 50 students from the Delhi/NCR region with the objective of understanding the various reasons responsible for various kinds of mental illness, so that efforts can be made in the correct direction to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment of such disorders, The study also aimed at examining the stress and mental health of youth, and to identify their stress management behaviour. In-depth interviews along with psychological tests to assess depression and anxiety levels of the subjects were employed during the course of study. The Pearson coefficient of correlation was applied between age groups. Anxiety and was found to be statistically significant

Effect of Indoor Air Pollution on Child Development: A Research Review

The air quality of our indoor environments majorly affects our health. Children are the most exposed to indoor air pollutants as they spend most of their time at home and indoors, the quality of air becomes a major concern in their course of development. While in rural areas the major indoor pollutants are the emissions from combustion sources, in urban areas the particulates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have chronic and long-term effects. The aim of this study is to review the available literature dealing with various effects of child development. The study showed the relationship between prenatal exposure to airborne PAHs and Child IQ. Children were monitored from in utero to 5 years of age, with determination of prenatal PAH exposure through personal air monitoring for the mothers during pregnancy. It was found that high PAHs level were inversely associated with IQ. The other study comprehended lung development with exposure to nitrogen dioxide, acid aerosols, particulate matter and elemental carbon. Lung function tests were performed annually for 8 years among the children and a decrease in Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV) was observed. The results of the study indicated that current ambient levels of air pollution have chronic and adverse effects on lung development in children leading to significant deficits in FEV as these children reach adulthood. In rural India, the risks associated with indoor air pollution are found to be extremely high. The study revealed that most of the rural households were exposed to acute upper and lower infections, the reason being the use of traditional fuels and poorly ventilated cooking areas. The study focuses on creating awareness towards the adverse effects of indoor air pollution specifically on children health, with reference to the existing studies

Noise Pollution and its Enacting Laws in India

Never before in the history, has the environment pollution drawn such attention of policymakers, academicians and the court in India. The present concern for preservation and conservation of environment arises from the hazardous impact on the human actions. Human demands are increasing day by day with the growth of population and modernization. For a long time many individuals have accepted noise as a part of their environment. The development of various engines, technological machinery in industries, jet planes, automobiles etc all contributed to increasing noisy environment. Noise is now regarded by many people as a pollution component that contributes to deterioration of the environment. Noise pollution is infect a threat to million that could be as dangerous as the pollution of the atmosphere. The recently intensified effort to save the environment has succeeded impressively in bringing the subject to wide public notice. It has helped to identify problems and arise concern. But it has been deficient in solutions. For very good reason effective steps to save the environment will require a highly expert knowledge of governmental machinery, knowledge of political infighting, knowledge of how tough and enforceable legislation might be written and how such legislation has been systematically enacted. The focus of present day policies is to use emission free technologies to be useful in preserving and conserving precious natural environment

Document Automation Architectures: Updated Survey in Light of Large Language Models

This paper surveys the current state of the art in document automation (DA). The objective of DA is to reduce the manual effort during the generation of documents by automatically creating and integrating input from different sources and assembling documents conforming to defined templates. There have been reviews of commercial solutions of DA, particularly in the legal domain, but to date there has been no comprehensive review of the academic research on DA architectures and technologies. The current survey of DA reviews the academic literature and provides a clearer definition and characterization of DA and its features, identifies state-of-the-art DA architectures and technologies in academic research, and provides ideas that can lead to new research opportunities within the DA field in light of recent advances in generative AI and large language models.Comment: The current paper is the updated version of an earlier survey on document automation [Ahmadi Achachlouei et al. 2021]. Updates in the current paper are as follows: We shortened almost all sections to reduce the size of the main paper (without references) from 28 pages to 10 pages, added a review of selected papers on large language models, removed certain sections and most of diagrams. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2109.1160
