Natural materials used for an eco-friendly interiors-jute crafts
India has large resources of natural fibers such as Banana, Sisal, Korai grass, Talipot, Palm leaf, Coconut, Pineapple, Golden grass, Jute, and Sabai among others. In the past, trade of the village folK depended on harvesting fibers grown in their villages. They spun or twisted yarn into ropes and sold them in villages or town markets. However with time, the emphasis was shifted to cotton and then during the post-independent era, silk and -jute became the new wonder fibers. jute is long, soft, and shiny it is one of nature’s strongest vegetable fibers. The fibers are also woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets, area rugs, hessian cloth, and backing for linoleum. The main objective is to make jute fiber from natural materials. To make jute roped room dividers, doors, and windows with supporting cane. Cane boxes were custom built with evenly spaced rope sized holes drilled through the top and bottom. Precut sections of rope were strung through the top and tied off at the bottom, allowing for the interior knot to hold the rope in place and taut. Jute rope can be the key to the design. Most of the women who belong to the socio-economically backward sections of the society are engaged in natural fiber weaving to produce objects for daily use. It is one of the cheapest and the strongest of all-natural fibers and is considered as fiber of the future. It has no adverse effect on the human body and Mother Nature as a whole.

Evaluation on predictive analysis of rain disaster using Adaptive Neural Turing Networks
The research is mainly focused on the evaluation parameters of the Machine learning algorithm Adaptive Neural Turing net-works which have been developed for the prediction of Rainfall based Disasters. Based on the Previous Research it's observed that the Neural Turing networks have been performing the prediction of the rainfall-based disasters for the consecutive years of 10,15 and 20 with 93.8% accuracy. Here the Research is analyzed with various parameters and Comparing it with the other researches which are implemented with other machine learning algorithms

Symmetric and asymmetric mixed convection heat transfer through vertical channel with porous medium with different oxide nanofluids
The problem of mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer flow through a porous medium, over an infinite vertical plate, is studied numerically. The effect of nanofluid properties and concentration and Prandtl numbers are considered in the present study. The governing non-linear partial differential equations of this phenomenon are transformed into a non-linear algebraic system utilizing finite difference methods. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and as well as the skin friction, heat transfer are obtained and reported in tabular form and graphically for different values of physical parameters of the problem The solutions for velocity and temperature are obtained. The effects of Grashof number, Prandtl number of a nanofluid, and porous parameter on velocity, and temperature are presented graphically.

Evaluating gaps in interdepartmental communication and assessing their relation to employee motivation: An action research study
The study examined members of the administrative staff of a leading international school in New Delhi to identify the underlying causes of gaps in interdepartmental communication and find probable solutions to overcome them. A Professional Learning Community (PLC) of 3 members was formed which undertook action research and presented the findings at the administrative staff In-Service Education and Training (INSET) in January 2020. The paper explores the factors that influence flow of communication within the workplace and how effective internal stakeholder communication is a great contributor to employee satisfaction. Outcomes suggest that the efficacy of interdepartmental communication is directly proportional to people’s understanding and appreciation of the work that other departments do, and their relationships with people and teams.

The effect of caffeine and nicotine on different plant growth
This science fair project was performed to find out the effect on plant growth of adding caffeine to the soil. This experiment was done by using Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) plants, and watering them daily with normal water, water mixed with caffeine bean and with a coffee mixture. Height of plant was measured as a daily parameter to check effect on growth. On fifteen day of germination the plant was removed to evaluate dry weight and spectrophotometric measurement for chlorophyll content. The result of the experiment found that caffeine with low amount gives best results which can be reconfirmed by height, Chlorophyll a, b, carotenoid estimation. The result indicate that mung bean grows faster in soil with caffeine. Another experiment was carried out to show that the effect of nicotine on plant growth fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum) by using cigarette and chewing tobacco. Nicotine is an addictive drug that is found mostly in cigarettes, cigar, chewing snuff. Cigarette and chewing tobacco contain thousands of chemical compounds but nicotine is a major constituent of cigarette and tobacco, kills insect pests and used in many organic insecticides to protect plants. Our study investigated the impact of pure tobacco (chewing tobacco) and cigarette on seed germination of fenugreek. We had three plants of same type and plant them in the same soil and give them same amount of water. One had just water with no nicotine making this plant the control. Second plant had pure tobacco mixed with soil, third plant had cigarette contents mixes with soil. The result showed that if we use cigarette, the plant will grow taller” as compare to the normal plant. But there was significant decrease in germination rate at pure tobacco or at high concentration of tobacco.

Gender and family roles: A survey in urban India
The society has certain preconceived notions formed through the generations preceding us about how a person, who is assigned a particular gender is supposed to act, dress, behave and present themselves. These are known as the gender role. ‘Gender roles in society means how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct ourselves based upon our assigned sex.’ These roles exist in all cultures, sub-cultures and societies of the world, these are usually shaped with the experiences and changes that occur over time. For example, Blue was considered to be associated with girls as it was viewed as delicate and on the contrary pink was considered as strong and thus, associated with boys. Another example would be that high heels were first invented for male aristocrats to make them appear taller and thus more formidable or intimidating. These roles might feel like a natural part of our lives, but these adversely affect our lives in ways that are inconspicuous. These may be in the form of personality traits, domestic behaviours, occupations and even physical appearances. With the presence of these roles come expectations and that is followed by stereotypes that get attached to a certain gender. And any aversion to said stereotypes is called a rebellion and the person to be an outcast. This paper attempts to understand the stereotypes, gender roles as well as the family roles which are associated with particular genders, that currently exist, with a survey conducted in urban India.
