    Regionalism has now become a vital aspect in writing, reading and analysis of literary texts and other cultural practices. At present, writings from the Tamil literature take the audience into the core of unsophisticated rural areas and also to the scenes which are unfamiliar to the audience so far. Perumal Murugan is one among the controversial contemporary authors and as a professor, he has greatly contributed to the academic field of Tamil Literature. This particular research paper tries to conduct a study over the work One Part Woman. It was a translation of Madhorubhagan (2010), Murugan’s fifth novel. The novel offers us a sensitive portrayal of the disappointment and gender discretion experienced by a woman named Ponna. In this novel, Ponna throws out the fretters showered upon her by the patriarchal forces in the society and experiences the taste of freedom. Ponna speaks for those who suffer silently a lot and also for those who always become a disparaged figure

    Using Attribute-Based Access Control, Efficient Data Access in the Cloud with Authorized Search

    The security and privacy issues regarding outsourcing data have risen significantly as cloud computing has grown in demand. Consequently, since data management has been delegated to an untrusted cloud server in the data outsourcing phase, data access control has been identified as a major problem in cloud storage systems. To overcome this problem, in this paper, the access control of cloud storage using an Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) approach is utilized. First, the data must be stored in the cloud and security must be strong for the user to access the data. This model takes into consideration some of the attributes of the cloud data stored in the authentication process that the database uses to maintain data around the recorded collections with the user\u27s saved keys. The clusters have registry message permission codes, usernames, and group names, each with its own set of benefits. In advance, the data should be encrypted and transferred to the service provider as it establishes that the data is still secure. But in some cases, the supplier\u27s security measures are disrupting. This result analysis the various parameters such as encryption time, decryption time, key generation time, and also time consumption. In cloud storage, the access control may verify the various existing method such as Ciphertext Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) and Nth Truncated Ring Units (NTRU). The encryption time is 15% decreased by NTRU and 31% reduced by CP-ABE. The decryption time of the proposed method is 7.64% and 14% reduced by the existing method

    Abstract: OAs (Occupational accidents) have been responsible for fatalities and injuries in both industrialised and developing nations. Due to weak documentation and notification systems, where developing countries in particular lack reliable information on OAs, there are no worldwide standards for information on OAs. Baseline OSMs (occupational safety measures) statistics are still used in workplaces for improving worker safety notwithstanding the underreporting of accident data. 2.78 million Workers every year are estimated to pass away from OAs and other associated conditions, while another 374 million have non-fatal OAs, according to estimates from the ILO (International Labour Organization). Additionally, because manufacturing sectors are dealing with greater OAs, it is necessary to confirm links between safety performances in order to maximise productivity.   Purpose: The purpose of this research was to explore the effects of workplace safety s of assembly workers in manufacturing facilities.   Theoretical framework: According to studies, industries can enhance their safety cultures by focusing on five key areas: management commitment, communication, safety priority, supportive environment, and involvement. These areas in turn improve employee and equipment performance, as well as safety performance as measured by safety performance reports.    Design/methodology/approach: The suggested workplace safety for this job was tested in assembly sites and put into practise. While secondary data was gathered from material found in publications, books, journals, and the internet, primary data came through questionnaires provided to management and personnel. The safety cultures of firms that did not participate in any lean events during the same time period were compared to control groups.   Validity: To gauge Security Environment in the assembling enterprises in Tamilnadu, a changed rendition of the poll utilized by Corridor (2013) was utilized. This survey was chosen in light of the fact that at first, the instrument utilized by Corridor (2013) filled in as a kind of perspective. The said instrument contained 27 things. The main limit of the first estimating instrument is that the association's whose working environment wellbeing is estimated utilizing the instrument should have a comparative workplace and hierarchical construction as the steel processes that were utilized to approve the first instrument. This need was met by the associations picked for the ongoing review. Inward consistency was utilized to pass judgment on the nature of the estimating instrument, as exhorted by Cooper et al (1998)   Findings:  P values less than 0.05 were found for the four individual dimension scores—Management Commitment, Priority of Safety, Involvement, and Work Environment—and the overall score, indicating that the proposed framework improved workplace safety-related metrics after adoption. The improvement in the mean total scores for both groups shows that the suggested framework can increase workplace safety. Additionally, rotation times were shortened by 16.6%, space was used up by 22.2%, and stocks were cut by 25% throughout testing. Due to these enhancements, the overall level of workplace safety was greatly raised along with favourable changes in these four dimensions.    Practical and social implications: However, it seems important to draw attention to the ongoing effects of the accident phenomenon on social and health systems, as well as how the development of the economic system has brought about some risk factors that can be addressed through different work practises, increased organisational well-being, and a widespread introduction of corporate welfare tools, in addition to increased controls. The introduction of hazardous work instruments and the absence of controls in particular industries are only two factors contributing to the accident statistics; high workloads are also a frequent factor, the lengthening of workdays and a "culture of performance" and productivity that, even if they do not result in an accident, raise risk margins and, thus, exacerbate the state of "work-related stress." The suggested methodology provides businesses with verified tools and specialised resources that may be applied by businesses using a sustainable and integrated approach. The recommended technique is broken down into steps that engage both workers and prevention experts. The danger of work-related stress is taken into consideration while evaluating the recognised allowances, which merely reflect the most obvious and emerging facet of a much larger issue

    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the virtual teams effectiveness in productivity, whether leadership and Empowerment with the relevant factors influencing the virtual team productivity are not. This study examines the virtual group in IT enterprises and their authority and strengthening of efficiency of a virtual group.   Theoretical framework:  An essential method for directing business for associations to stay serious and support in a global environment. What's more, that is used in numerous kinds and sizes of associations either as a key unit or as a supporting unit. Virtual groups in Indian programming organizations stand out explicitly inside the world wide IT service sector.   Design/methodology/approach: The present study is conducted by designing the set of questionnaires with respect to the leadership and empowerment of a virtual team and the performance of virtual team factors. And it is distributed to the organization, which uses a virtual team. The questionnaires were distributed to the 300 participants; only 257 responses are received from the company. From the 300 respondents, 43 responses were rejected because the response is not clear, so a total of 257 responses are taken. By using a 5-point Likert scale, the questionnaire was prepared.   Finding: The relationship between the team effectiveness, team performance, and empowering the leadership of the hypothesis are empirically tested. The result indicated that the empowerment and leadership of a virtual team enhanced the performance and productivity of a virtual team.   Research, Practical & Social Implication: The paper contributes to a better understanding of the internal processes within a virtual team in order to develop the effectiveness through Leadership and empowerment which increase the productivity.   Originality/value: Notwithstanding the inescapability of overseeing virtual groups, associations find it especially provoking for virtual colleagues to display and deal with their initiative ways of behaving
