Its development put forward the socio-economic developments of the country also enhance the political awareness among the society. Therefore, quality education is very much necessary for the development of the entire country. This paper examines the students’ quality in primary education in Paschim Medinipur district of West Bengal. The study is based on primary survey on 305 students from 7 schools scattered over different regions in the district. The study tries to identify the influencing factors of students’ academic performance. The results find moderate performance of students in reading ability and simple numeracy. Parental occupation and mother’s education are found significant influencing determinants of students’ academic performance.","PeriodicalId":439052,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132866461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It starts by discussing scholars who measured the emergence of the Information Age in the early 1960s. Machlup and Galbraith used economic indicators, followed by the exploration of network and knowledge sharing, which is a crucial process in the formation of the Information Age. Ellul (1964) paralleled humanity with technology as a “system,” and Mumford (1966) coined the term “megamachine.” These early arguments were pessimistic that humans were considered as inevitably confined by uncontrolled structures due to information and its byproducts—technology. However, in the 1980s, Nora and Minc considered the Information Age optimistically by introducing the concept of “Decentralization” to indicate the freedom of “choices” for modern people.","PeriodicalId":439052,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management","volume":"41 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134559519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, Christopher Lasch also mentioned his in influential book The Culture of Narcissism (1978) that narcissistic culture was taking place in a “late capitalism.” I intend to argue in this paper that Lasch’s narcissistic culture was embedded in a postmodern society, that is, “late capitalism” refers to postmodernism. Therefore, I employ the ideas postmodern thinkers such as Baudrillard, Georg Simmel, and Habermas to discuss how the characteristics of individuals living in postmodern society are similar to the characteristics of narcissists portrayed by Lasch. First, I elaborate on the issue of self-identity, followed by a discussion of narcissistic culture depicted by Lasch. Finally, I propose the contribution and critiques of Lasch’s discourse of development of narcissistic culture.","PeriodicalId":439052,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management","volume":"510 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117038676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Any process improvement framework implementation is subject to many unknowns and uncertainties. Generally, a new process improvement framework starts with certain assumptions, dependencies, and limitations, which may convert into potential problems or risks. Those risks need to be managed in a systematic and structured way. Lean is one of the most widely used process improvement frameworks across the industry and in varied domains & spheres of the organisation. Mining organizations are also implementing lean but with very limited benefits and success. The successful and rewarding lean implementation has been a big challenge for process improvement experts & lean practitioners. It requires a robust risk management strategy to mitigate unforeseen events and potential issues. The paper proposes CMMI’s Risk Management-based framework for managing the risks during lean implementation. It will propose multiple levels of process areas & practices. The framework will be based on the multiple levels of capability/maturity rating system as defined in CMMI V1.3. There are some limitations of using the framework and it should be customized as per the organizational requirements. Also, further enhancement can be done by adding more tools, techniques, and practices, which will make it more robust.","PeriodicalId":439052,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116004686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using balancing converter, we will enlarge the higher levels and also by boosting input voltage we are able to see the upper levels of voltage without using magnetic components. This attribute allows operating the input and output voltage by self-balancing. The balancing converter for NPC multilevel inverter-based solar PV system is operated by using vector scheme control. PV system incorporates a Maximum power point Tracking (MPPT) and it's executed in Matlab power system. The output of the simulation result topology can successfully balance the DC voltage and excess power from grid.

From electronic waste Polyvinyl chloride cables (PVC) are used as fibre and from polypropylene (PP) packing bag of cement are used as fibre in concrete. Both are used in 0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1% by weight of cement in concrete. Fresh and harden properties for both concrete with polypropylene fibre and with electronic waste fibre is determined and hybrid of optimum values calculated is used in a single mix and compressive strength is calculated. Results show that 0.75% and 0.50% is optimum value of concrete with electronic waste fibre and concrete with polypropylene fibre with 49% and 17.5% increase in concrete strength compared to normal concrete respectively and can be used in a single mixture.
