The study illumined high density of bacteria acclimatized for biodegradation of hydrocarbon in soil. The isolates were examined for other hydrocarbon degradation in media supplemented with Diesel, Benzene, Petrol and Cyclohexane at three different concentrations viz 5%, 10% and 15% incubated for 3 different time intervals 5, 10 and 15 days. The results indicated that all the isolates possessed potential to degrade the wide variety of hydrocarbons. The most efficient among them was Acenetobacter junii which degraded all tested hydrocarbon showing maximum growth at 5% concentration and 10 days incubation. It could be concluded that native flora of hydrocarbon contaminated site adapt to the environmental condition and could be implicated to remove hydrocarbons.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84714026","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}

Blockchain technology has been most helpful in understanding the source and journey of produce in agriculture. This is vital for farmers and consumers: it authorizes farmers to bargain for better prices throughout the supply chain while giving consumers confidence in knowing exactly where the produce comes from. This is crucial considering the growing lack of trust in sourcing produce sold in markets. While still challenged with fundamental limitations, Blockchain technology is a transformative Information and Communications Technology (ICT) that has changed our notion of trust. Improved efficiencies for sustainable agricultural development have been demonstrated when ICT-enabled farms have access to knowledge banks and other digital resources. The visible effects of this technology are already being noted there. This paper presents early evidence linking the use of blockchain in overcoming agricultural challenges facing India. The paper examines blockchain technology's impact and critical applications in agriculture and the food supply chain. It demonstrates how blockchain can help promote transparency, build trust and reputation, and enhance transaction efficiency. This paper looks at opportunities and key triggers for blockchain diffusion in agricultural practices in India. It also delves into challenges and obstacles developing economies will likely encounter in using blockchain.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83730500","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}

In AHP, the qualitative problems are described and transformed quantitatively, and then the quantitative analysis is used to find the relationship among various decision criteria. In this study, ethical and suitability criteria are used along with the financial criteria to rank the assets based on individual investors’ preferences. To demonstrate the efficacy of the problem, a hypothetical data set is used for ethical and suitability criteria, and data set of 10 assets of Nifty 50 companies under the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is collected for financial criteria.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87290989","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}

They willed to make these structures safe and free from collapse and hence employed various methods and designs. However in spite of all precautions it is impossible to guarantee the safety from collapse and destruction due to unforeseen causes. Some of the causes could be related to human errors like: poor design, faulty construction, foundation failures, extraordinary loads, compromising on quality of building materials, workmanship for economic reasons, negligence in enforcing building codes and their compliance laxity in supervision, inspection and approval by authorities etc. the other cause could be gas explosions, soil liquefaction, terrorist attacks, material degradations etc. It is admitted that it is uneconomical to design the structure for unforeseen events unless they have a reasonable chance of occurrence. The project study “Prevention of collapse: Analysis and design” ispresumedto help understand the collapse behavior of structure and accordingly design to prevent drastic, severe failures and save human lives and property. Secondly the practices employed to ensure safety and prevent collapse are to incorporate redundancies in structure in the form of detailing, ductile designs, tying of elements at particular locations, provision of hinges and their connections. However this study is limited to understand the outcome of failures for G+5 = buildings for column loss on different storeys, the adjacent beams, the increased loads on columns and footings studied and its resistances to failures and accordingly some measures are noted to prevent further collapse and danger.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73353607","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}

Especially women's clothing market is much bigger than others. There is a significant impact of mother-daughter co-shopping on women's clothing purchasing. But unfortunately, no brand line has been started, or no branding strategy has been taken on targeting this huge market segment. Traditionally there is a trend of mother-daughter co-shopping, not only in Bangladesh but worldwide. And usually, when family shopping occurs, women of the families do this shopping, where the mother, daughter, and sisters are present in that shopping. So, it is very typical that mother-daughter will go shopping together whereas male persons of the family do not usually do their shopping together. A male person used to go shopping most of the time individually. So, it can easily be said that there is a vast market potential for this mother-daughter co- shopping. This report will identify the market potentials, impacts, challenges, and solutions of mother-daughter co-shopping branding in Bangladesh. This report has been made based on 30 women interviews from different shopping malls in Dhaka and market analysis from various market reports on the domestic clothing market.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91049918","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}

A lack of consensus regarding the definition of social entrepreneurship has caused confusion among students and researchers. The purpose of this paper is to provide a critical lens for theoreticians to make informed choices regarding their operational definition of this concept.Design/methodology approach. The paper traces the evolution of the practical and theoretical fields of social entrepreneurship. Thereafter the occurrence of multiple and often contrasting definitions is highlighted. In order to understand the conceptual underpinnings of the different definitions, the following issues are raised:Sould definitions be inclusive or exclusive? Is social entrepreneurship a subcategory of commercial entrepreneurship or is it a parallel one? Which facets of entrepreneurship behavior need to be deployed and what is the social mission? To illustrate these issues, the paper draws upon different definitions, with examples from the field of practice. In addition, it relates to the theoretical literature of commercial entrepreneurship. Thereafter follows a discussion that challenges prevailing definitions.Findings. The different possible responses can explain the diversity in definitions.A key finding is that the differing social enterprise and social innovation orientations may be rooted in alternative understandings of the relationship between social entrepreneurship and commercial entrepreneurship.Originality /value. The questions provide theoreticians with a unique and valuable prism to understand theoretical underpinnings of the different definitions of social entrepreneurship and enable them to make informed decisions regarding their operational definitions.","PeriodicalId":46578,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91231182","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}
