Investigating the relationship between economic growth and NPAS in the context of Indian banks
Commercial banks in an economy are catalysts in economic growth because they convert accumulated savings into productive lending. They are exposed to a variety of risks when they do so and since credit is an essential determinant for economic growth, a high level of NPAs may result in slower economic growth and prospects. An understanding of the relationship between NPAs and economic growth is important to analyse the role of commercial banks in an economy. This will also help us determine the strength of the relationship between the two factors and whether or not either is a dominant determinant for the other. Thus, this study provides a comparative analysis of the relationship between GDP growth rate and the Gross NPA ratio in all banks across the country during a 19-year period commencing from 2000-01 to 2019-20.

Strategies for integrating Open Access Resources (OAR) into libraries collections: A study
The study’s general purpose is to assist both management and collection development practitioners in adopting appropriate strategies for integrating OA materials into libraries collections. The study was designed to specifically examine the challenges to the integration of OAR into libraries collections and to explore relevant strategies for the integration. The study utilized an online survey questionnaire sent to Seventy Eight collections development staff drawn from academic libraries, Library Boards, and special libraries for completion. Sixty Two (62) however, were completed and returned. This implies 79.4% return rate. All the respondents surveyed are members of the Nigerian Library Association (NLA), and are certified by the Librarians Registration Council of Nigeria (LRCN). The respondents were drawn from Federal university Libraries (7), State university libraries (6), private university libraries (22), federal polytechnic libraries (5), state polytechnic libraries (12), college libraries (5), special libraries (2), library boards (3). The survey instrument included Eleven (11) items. Data were analysed using graphical charts. The findings indicate that majority of the library do not acquire OAR, but have plans to make them part of their regular library acquisition workflows; majority of them strongly agree that collection development policy is key to OAR integration, but they don’t have the document for now, neither are their staff trained to manage OA effectively. Their major challenge to OAR integration include poor electricity supply, lack of knowledge and skills required for OA integration, and lack of support from the head librarian, lack of collection development policy document. The recommendations include that collection development policy should be put in place; library staff should be equipped with relevant skills through training and retraining; libraries should rather than purchasing expensive books and journals download OAR relevant to them, process them and make them available to their users as part of their collections; Libraries should be provided with uninterrupted fast speed internet access and power supply from solar power.

Challenges faced by health care workers during Covid-19
The surge in cases of COVID -19 across the world have led to the intensive care unit health workers face unfathomable challenges. Managing rapid diagnosis, isolation, clinical management and infection prevention has been a nightmare not only for patients and people affected by this horrendous plague, but also healthcare workers who are constantly risking their lives. We talk about diagnosing COVID-19 and differentiating it from other illnesses. We also talk about treatment plans and course of illness. The key ingredients to the treatment strategies are management of acute respiratory failure and stabilizing Hemodynamic. The government, policy makers, hospital administrators, ICU practitioners etc. are putting their best foot forward in eradicating this disease from a population of 135.26 crores! This review focuses on the strength with which the Covid-19 warriors are catering to the needs of multitude of patients and how they themselves are more prone to this deadly disease than many others. Through this review we are trying to shed light on the healthcare workers’ lives and mental health during this pandemic and how they should be protected against it. Keywords: treatment strategies, course of illness, diagnosis, mental health

The Hindu overall image of respect and trust among other organizations
There is a feeling among various respondents that the newspaper has a very high standard of language which does not understand by all. The HINDU newspaper seems to have a very conservative image, unlike the other newspaper which are trendy. A notable feature of the print media, in recent years, has been the greater availability of color printing in periodicals as well as few newspapers. Among the periodicals referred to above 68 out of the 105 accepted advertisement in color. Rates for advertisement in color were double that of black and white as rates, or even higher. Two other developments of interest in magazine advertisements were the use of bleed both in color and black and white and double-page spreads. These indicate that a competitive era has already set-in advertising in print media. Increased rated to the face of static circulation has begun to dictate the need for greater attention-seeking the power of advertisement so that the expenditure incurred on placing them could be justified. Moreover, the print media itself has stated encountering increasing competition from television. The outcome of the project area. Leading Newspaper of Southern India.b. Strengths reflects in the statements “India‘s National Newspaper”.c.. Acknowledge for its unbiased editorial and articles. d. The newspaper caters to the need of intellectual people and is very favorite among the students who prepare for competitive exams (especially civil services). e..

Comparative analysis of the grid-connected solar system using neutral point clamped and cascaded H-bridge ML
Advancement in power electronic devices has developed a class of MLI which is very efficient for the grid-connected operation of the PV system. MLIs have a higher number of output voltage levels as compared to the two/three levels in traditional inverters. The advantage of MLIs is its staircase-like output waveform, which resembles more closely to sinusoidal waveform than the traditional inverters; hence THD is very low. In the proposed work comparative analysis of 5-level neutral point clamped (NPC) and cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) MLI is designed for grid integration of the PV system. The performance analysis has been carried out under the condition of constant as well as variable irradiance for a three-phase system to obtain low THD and high efficiency.

Case study on Communication Barriers: Ethical Issues
The telecom giant Vodafone Idea had been in troubled waters in the recent past, with its long term viability in jeopardy. In November 2019, at a press conference, Vodafone CEO Nick Read said that Vodafone India’s future was precarious owing to the bludgeoning of taxes and penalties by the government. It was ironical that this statement was made, a day before the Prime Minister stated that India was a land of rapid growth with a plethora of investment opportunities. Subsequently, Vodafone India reported a loss of over 500,000 million, the very next day, one of India’s largest corporate losses ever for Q2. With an already prevailing slump in telecom industry, such a statement could have led to mistrust among the employees, stakeholders, investors, etc. Later, he apologised for the apprehensions caused due to, what he termed - out-of-context reporting. He further added that he was merely reiterating the general opinion but the outrage was already committed. This episode threw light on the repercussions of tactless communication, regardless of the accuracy and truthfulness of the information. Should Nick Read have refrained from making such statements on a global platform or is honesty always the best policy?
