The Current study aims at analysing the effectiveness of sexual harassment policies of IT and Non IT companies in India. The researcher has also made a comparison between IT and Non IT companies on the basis of the effectiveness of their sexual harassment policies. The study is based on both secondary and primary data. Secondary data was collected to study the sexual harassment policies of the companies, and primary data has been used to record the opinions of the employees towards the sexual harassment policies of their organization. The sample size of the study is 200. It was found from the study that there are mainly four factors that could be used to measure the effectiveness of the sexual harassment policies namely content, timing, actions and complaints. It was also found from the study that the sexual harassment policies of IT companies are far better than Non IT companies. Researchers have also suggested a few measures to improve the sexual harassment policies of the companies on the basis of existing sexual harassment policies of the surveyed companies and literature review.The Sexual Harassment Act has been enacted with the objective of providing women protection against sexual harassment at the workplace and for the prevention and redressal of complaints of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is considered as a violation of the fundamental right of a woman to equality as guaranteed under Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution of India ("Constitution") and her right to life and to live with dignity as per Article 21 of the Constitution. It has also been considered as a violation of a right to practice or to carry out any occupation, trade or business under Article 19(1) (g) of the Constitution, which includes a right to a safe environment free from harassment.India finally enacted its law on prevention of sexual harassment against female employees at workplace. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 ("Sexual Harassment Act") has been made effective on April 23, 2013 by way of publication in the Gazette of India.

Abstract Liu, Y., Chen, Y., and Cheng, J. 2009. A comparative study of optimization methods and conventional methods for sampling design in fishery-independent surveys. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 1873–1882. We have introduced and evaluated a procedure, the constrained spatial simulated annealing method, for developing an optimal sampling design for fishery-independent surveys. We used two criterion functions, minimization of the mean of the shortest distance (MMSD) and uniform distribution of point pairs for variogram estimation (WM), and three arrangements of the two criteria, all WM, all MMSD, and a combination of MMSD (2/3 of samples) and WM (1/3), to construct three optimized sampling designs (denoted as Designs I, II, and III, respectively). These three designs were compared in a simulation study with systematic sampling (Design IV) and stratified random sampling designs (Design V), commonly used in fishery-independent surveys. Three levels of sample size (small, medium, and large) were considered in the simulation study developed using a geostatistical approach. The results showed that for parameter estimation of the spatial covariance function, Design III was better than the other designs at relatively small sample size and Design II performed better than the other designs at relatively large sample size. For estimating fish stock abundance, the performance of the designs considered in this study can be ranked as follows: Design II > Design IV > Design III > Design V > Design I. It is clearly important to evaluate and improve sampling design based on historical survey data. Such a study allows us to identify an optimal sampling design to balance the quality of the data collected and the costs of the sampling programme, leading to the development and optimization of a sustainable and fishery-independent monitoring programme.

Children born out of wedlock are children born to a woman who does not have a legal marriage relationship with a man who has made her give birth to the child. The child does not have a perfect position in the standpoint of the law like a legitimate child in general. The birth of a child is crucial in every family. In terms of family life, children are descendants of the next generation so a child has the right to life and identity as an effort to protect the law. The problem how the adoption of a child born beyond official marriage by his grandfather in Desa Batukaang, the Sub-district of Kintamani, Bangli Regency is executed and what is the inheritance system for such an adopted child in Batukaang Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency? The child was appointed by his own grandfather and the reason for the appointment was that the adoptive grandfather did not have a son. The type of research used in this research is an empirical study with a juridical-sociological approach. Types of data are primary data and secondary data, collected through interview and literature review. The procedure for the adoption of the child execution is through customary or noetic way, which is to carry out extortion ceremonies where offerings are religiously and legally made and the child is legally made as a legitimate child in general. Ultimately, the child is legitimate to be the child of the adopting grandfather both in a customary and inheritance legal system, the child inherits all inheritance from the grandfather.

The study deals with the possibility of reducing higher ratio of dependence on importation of food through the replacement of foreign products with locally produced and processed food products. In order to accomplish the objectives of the study, both primary and secondary data had been used. Accordingly, a multi-stage sampling technique was utilized to select the sample size. Descriptive and inferential statistics were eventually applied to the primary data collected. The results indicated undoubtedly that the locally produced and processed salad competed favourably and suitably with foreign salad products in terms of colour, odour, taste, and other sensory parameters evaluated accordingly. The orthodox budget analysis indicated that garden egg salad was more profitable than imported cabbage salad. The correlation outcome value of +1 indicated that local salad stands as a perfect substitute for foreign salad. Therefore, the phasing out of foreign salad so as to replace it with locally sourced salad is quite feasible. It had therefore been obviously and clearly established in this study that imported cabbage could be replaced with locally produced garden egg salad, thereby indicating that reducing the degree of dependence on food importation is absolutely viable.

Text localisation determines the location of the text in an image. This process is performed prior to text recognition. Localising text on shop signage is a challenging task since the images of the shop signage consist of complex background, and the text occurs in various font types, sizes, and colours. Two popular texture features that have been applied to localise text in scene images are a histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and speeded up robust features (SURF). A comparative study is conducted in this paper to determine which is better with support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The performance of SVM is influenced by its kernel function and another comparative study is conducted to identify the best kernel function. The experiments have been conducted using primary data collected by the authors. Results indicate that HOG with quadratic kernel function localises text for shop signage better than SURF.
