Renu Bala — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Income inequality and economic growth are two critical and interconnected issues in contemporary economics. This paper explores the relationship between these two phenomena, emphasizing how varying levels of income inequality can influence economic growth trajectories. Utilizing empirical data from diverse economies, the study examines both positive and negative impacts of income disparity on growth. On one hand, income inequality can drive investment and economic incentives, potentially fostering growth. On the other hand, high levels of inequality can hinder social cohesion, reduce aggregate demand, and stifle economic progress. The paper also delves into the role of policy interventions aimed at mitigating income inequality and promoting sustainable growth, highlighting the importance of inclusive growth strategies. Through a comprehensive analysis, this research contributes to the ongoing debate on the optimal balance between equality and growth, providing insights for policymakers and economists.

Liza Martinez — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The evolving landscape of nuclear proliferation presents a complex array of trends, challenges, and policy responses that demand comprehensive analysis and strategic foresight. This paper explores the future trajectories of nuclear proliferation, emphasizing the increasing sophistication of nuclear technologies and the proliferation risks associated with non-state actors and emerging states. It examines current challenges, including the potential for regional arms races, the impact of technological advancements on nuclear security, and the effectiveness of existing non-proliferation regimes. The paper further assesses policy responses from major international actors and institutions, evaluating their effectiveness and proposing new strategies to enhance global nuclear security. By analyzing historical patterns, current trends, and future projections, this study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of nuclear proliferation dynamics and offer actionable recommendations for policymakers to address emerging threats and ensure a stable and secure nuclear order.

Soft Power vs. Hard Power: Analyzing the Effectiveness of Different Strategies in International Influence

Jacoz White — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In the complex landscape of international relations, the interplay between soft power and hard power significantly shapes global influence and diplomacy. This paper explores the comparative effectiveness of these two distinct strategies in exerting influence on the global stage. Hard power, characterized by military and economic coercion, offers direct and tangible means of influence but often at the cost of long-term relationships and stability. In contrast, soft power relies on cultural appeal, diplomatic engagement, and the attraction of values and policies, aiming for a more sustainable and consensual form of influence.

Mr. Ashish Richhariya, Dr. Umesh Kumar Saxena — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In the digital age, online platforms serve as a powerful means for the rapid dissemination of information, yet they also fuel the pervasive spread of misinformation. This research explores the origins, dissemination mechanisms, and profound societal impact of fake news. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from communication, psychology, and technology, the study assesses the influence of misinformation on public opinion, political discourse, and individual behavior. Investigating technological advancements and social media platforms, the paper examines users' role in amplifying misinformation, revealing how false information leads to real-world consequences such as panic, political instability, and trust erosion. Addressing the challenges of combating fake news, the research considers ethical concerns of censorship and emphasizes the role of media literacy in empowering individuals to critically evaluate information. In conclusion, this paper contributes to the discourse on fake news by offering a holistic understanding and valuable recommendations to tackle the societal challenges posed by the unchecked proliferation of false information in the digital-age.

Development of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process

Dr. Renu Saini — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

As per the traditional company law, a company never dies or ceases to exist unless and until the task for which it was formed has been completed or it is specifically wound up through the procedures. Membership and executives of a company may keep on changing from time to time but that in any way does not affect life of the company. A Company, having no mind of its own, always acts through its stakeholders, each having a unique objective function, with different set of rights, interests depending on the level of engagement with the company. Anyway, the insolvency of a particular member does not affect the existence of a company.

Leveraging Transformers for Boundary Detection and Encroachment Identification in Land Surveys

Prashanth Lakshmi Narayana Chaitanya Josyula — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Land management, urban planning, and legal compliance all depend on the prompt and accurate detection of encroachments and the establishment of land boundaries. Especially in vast or complicated land regions, traditional surveying methods are labor-intensive and prone to inaccuracy since they frequently rely on manual processes or GPS-based approaches. In this study, we offer a unique method to automate land boundary recognition and monitor encroachment in satellite and aerial photos using transformer-based deep learning models, specifically Vision Transformers (ViT). By utilizing transformers' capacity to identify local and global patterns in high-resolution images, the suggested approach offers scalability and accuracy improvements over current techniques.

Rethinking Patient Engagement in the Era of AI Chatbots
