Encroaching the legislative field? Purposivism v. Textualism in practice: A clear distinction or a convergence of theories: Analysis of Cardozo’s Methods of statutory interpretation
The Judge laws down the law, is a statement that is more often that not under dispute. Interpretation of States has a wider connotation and an impressive history situated in the common law tradition. In certain events the judges interpret the statute as it means i.e. to the text and at others wherein there exist legislative discrepancies the judges interpret the law as per individual judicial discretion. The statement the Judge laws down the law is under dispute because it is the task of the legislative to draft the laws of a nation and that of the judiciary to implement in practice. The idea of judicial law-making albeit not ideal to separation of powers has seen a growth in recent times. This paper aims in delimiting judicial discretion as explained by Benjamin Cardozo in several of his works. While judicial discretion prima facie cannot be disputed upon but there exist limits to such discretion. This paper primarily focuses upon textualism and purposivism in the interpretation of statutes. As different they are, they also need to co-exist and operate separately at times for the functioning of the judicial machinery.

Using ensemble random forest, boosting and base classifiers to ameliorate prediction of students’ academic performance
In recent time, educational data mining (EDM) has received substantial considerations. Many techniques of data mining have been proposed to dig out out-of-sight knowledge in educational data. The Knowledge obtained assists the academic institutions to further enhance their process of learning and methods of passing knowledge to students. Education Data Mining have been playing substantial role in predicting student’s academic performance. In this study, a novel student’s performance prediction model premised on techniques of data mining with Students’ Essential Features (SEF). Students’ Essential Features (SEF) are linked to the learner’s interactivity with the e-learning management system. The performance of student’s predictive model is assessed by set of classifiers, viz. Bayes Network, Logistic Regression and REP Tree. Consequently, ensemble methods of Boosting and Random Forest using WEKA as an Open Source Tool are applied to improve the performance of these single classifiers. The results obtained reveal that there is a robust affinity between learner’s behaviours and their academic attainment. Results from the study shows that REP Tree and its ensemble record the highest accuracy of 83.33% using SEF. Hence, in terms of Receiver Operating Curve (ROC), boosting method of REP Tree records 0.903, which is the best. This result further demonstrates the dependability of the proposed model.

Survey on nurses perception on care of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of illness, death, disability and socio-economic damage in India and other developing countries. Each year, approximately 1.5–1.7 million people are neurologically disabled due to TBI in India. Nurses are health professionals who see the full impact of TBI and have the skills to change a patient's recovery path. Nurses have a large role to play in the acute and chronic management of patients with moderate-to-severe TB because nurses are important members of interdisciplinary teams. Nurses have a lot of responsibilities in caring for these patients at all stages of treatment and recovery. Methods: The research approach adopted for the study was cross-sectional, exploratory design to determine nurses’ perceptions about care for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). As samples, 120 Staff nurses were selected through purposive sampling technique at PESIMSR Hospital inkpad, Andhra Pradesh. The collected data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of Frequencies, Percentage distribution and chi-square test. Results: majority of the samples were 26-30 years old, female, undergraduates, critical care nurses, had 2.1-5 years of working experience and had no specific training regarding TBI patient care. Majority of the nurses had moderate knowledge and high level of confidence on care of TBI patients. The perceived confidence of nurses at PESIMSR hospital on care of TBI patients was significantly higher than their perceived knowledge. Age, professional qualification and professional experience of nurses had significant association with their perceptions. Conclusion: Results of this study suggested enhancing the knowledge of critical care and emergency room nurses through additional education and training on evidence-based TBI care.

Comparison between sliding mode and PID controller for fully interaction three-tank system
Regulating the amount of liquids is a critical condition in many manufacturing processes. The tanks are also so linked together that the levels communicate and display a nonlinear conduct. The sliding mode control (SMC) is used to regulate the level of the coupling tank structure. We initially developed a mathematical model for a nonlinear multi input single output system. A simulation to track a non-linear three tank system model is performed using MATLB / SIMULINK. The performance of SMC is compared to PID controller

Comprehensive review on three roller bending operation
This paper describes a comprehensive review of major published research work performed on three roller cylindrical bending process. Based on the literature, further research scope is identified. The present literature reveals that there is a further scope to model the three roller bending process in a generalized and simplest form includes various parameters viz geometrical, process, and material parameters, which will help to produce sheet metal parts to precise shape with smooth surface finish and good dimensional accuracy.

The Theme of Wife by Bharati Mukherjee
The present study and honest attempt to examine how in her novel, Bharati Mukherjee has been a voice of the phase of Expatriation, concentrates on the individual eccentricities of her women Protagonists. “The quest for voice for identity is in fact the quest for a form on the part of the novelist which can render "apparent the difference between the process of actual experience of destruction and disintegration as a thought Bharati Mukherjee`s writing largely reflects her personal experiences as a women caught between two cultures, she writes entertainingly and with a sort of fluid prose that it is very good to read and she can make her character spring to life with a world and has an acute ear for dialog.
