Chennai media student’s impressions over the ever-evolving media industry
Social media has become a dominant characteristic of much of the lives of the people, including journalists in all disciplines. Several media outlets have come to rely on online news, much of it coming from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. While several studies have examined the use of technology and social media separately and how students can learn in today's digital age, here is a research on the use of social media by young media students and how they see both their news reporting & gathering skills and the profession itself. This research involves the purposive sample method and the survey of 203 current, undergraduate pre- media students at a large, in Chennai. This study also involves three frameworks, including the use of technology and social media, the perception of media education, and the perception of the media industry, to find out how young journalists feel about their journalism studies in a changing industry.

NPA Management using Blockchain
The usage of Blockchain Technology has been increasing rapidly across the various business sectors. Multiple industries across various sectors are adopting it for its immutability, transparency, tamper proof-ness, and its distributed nature. As such, the banking industry is looking at it intently to solve a variety of problems it currently faces. One of them is NPA management. Especially in India, this is a big issue as the rate at which NPAs are growing is very high. This paper aims to find a potential solution to this problem by developing a blockchain model conceptually which uses smart contracts to effectively manage NPAs. Timers or Loop code concept in a smart contract has been utilized to keep track of a loan as it becomes an NPA. Different scenarios have been provided to explain the working of the concept. An example use case has been elaborated upon as well. The paper developed a conceptual model that is effective in managing NPA as well as it provides a scope for government, NPA as well as external auditors to monitor the state of NPAs of a bank. This paper also provides the scope to further develop the model by creating a working blockchain-based model.

Improving paramedic preparedness to mass casualty incidents: an implementation study using PARIHS framework
It has been observed that healthcare workers, prehospital care providers, as well as other frontline responders, are often made responsible to be both willing and able to provide a timely response in the events of disaster. Even though Kuwait is situated in a politically conflicting zone where the country has witnessed several major incidents, prehospital care providers are still not given standardized preparation training to respond to these incidents of disaster. There is also a lack of evidence related to the ambulance staff’s preparedness status in Kuwait to manage disasters. Moreover, to evaluate the socio-contextual factors related to the implementation procedures of mass casualty training, limited studies have been conducted in the existing body of literature. Problem: This study has tried to address the problems or barriers that are undermining the preparedness of prehospital care providers under the events of disaster or mass causality by utilizing the PARIHS model.
