This work presents a fuzzy decision support system to optimise the performance issues of an effluent treatment plant (ETP) within an Indian milk process industry under the concern of environmental issues. The system employs a nonlinear fuzzy Jaya Lambda-Tau optimisation (JLTO) approach-based coding implemented in MATLAB for determining the reliability based performance parameters of the ETP unit. As the degree of uncertainty or vagueness increases, the system's performance based on availability parameter indicated towards decreasing trend. Furthermore, an analysis of potential risks is accompanied using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) technique with input from experts to improve the availability of the unit. To overcome the limitations of conventional FMEA approach, fuzzy COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (FCOPRAS) method is incorporated within FMEA modelling. The robustness of the suggested system is examined through sensitivity analysis.
Every human being has a desire to be happy and to attain continuous happiness. These desires and goals, collectively, along with the means that help achieve such goals, are termed purus & amacr;rtha chatustaya. This paper aims to explain these four ultimate life goals by delving into the original Sanskrit sources and provides a hermeneutic analysis of their antecedents. It shows how dharma, artha, k & amacr;ma, and moksa together form an integrative framework for human life, connecting ethical conduct, material well-being, desire, and liberation, and showing how they form a whole as 'a theory of life'. Such a theory is designed to inspire a way of sustainable living with inbuilt corrective behaviour based on a consciousness where there is space for everyone and everything to coexist. To grasp it, however, requires a shift in our mindset to understand why we do the things we do in the first place, in order to redesign how we act to confront even the more wicked problems we face in this era.
A person's existence will significantly evolve when they become a parent. There is a need for parents to be financially prepared to fulfil their children's dreams. The main purpose of the research paper was to know the preferences of the Indian parents regarding the various different saving and investment avenues for their female children. The study was carried out among 335 government employees of Dibrugarh Town, Assam, India. The present study concludes that parents preferred Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, life insurance and bank fixed deposits as the first, second and third best investment options for their female children. Saving for girl child, like any other financial aim, should be done in accordance with one's financial goals. It involves choosing appropriate financial products that ensure both the growth of money and the availability of funds whenever required for the child.
This research examines the influence of regional social capital on the acquisition of physical capital by informal enterprises in India. The research analyses regional structural (bridging) social capital, regional relational (bonded) social capital, and regional cognitive social capital. We have employed data gathered over 15 years from three separate rounds of NSSO regarding informal enterprises in India. We utilised a pseudo-panel methodology developed by Deaton (1985) to examine the longitudinal impacts of regional social capital on the accumulation of physical capital, employing a robust standard error model with fixed effects. This is an innovative effort to measure regional social capital in Indian districts and its influence on informal enterprises. Our findings demonstrate that regional structural (bridging) social capital and regional cognitive social capital positively influence the formation of physical capital in informal enterprises. Nevertheless, regional relational (bonded) social capital hinders the creation of physical capital by informal enterprises.
