Sentiments is the term of opinion or views about any topic expressed by the people through a source of communication. Nowadays social media is an effective platform for people to communicate and it generates huge amount of unstructured details every day. It is essential for any business organization in the current era to process and analyse the sentiments by using machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) strategies. Even though in recent times the deep learning strategies are becoming more familiar due to higher capabilities of performance. This paper represents an empirical study of an application of deep learning techniques in Sentiment Analysis (SA) for sarcastic messages and their increasing scope in real time. Taxonomy of the sentiment analysis in recent times and their key terms are also been highlighted in the manuscript. The survey concludes the recent datasets considered, their key contributions and the performance of deep learning model applied with its primary purpose like sarcasm detection in order to describe the efficiency of deep learning frameworks in the domain of sentimental analysis.

The study employed quantitative method to measure the smartphones addiction. Two questionnaires were used to gather the data for the present attempt. One questionnaire was used to gather the data for smartphone addition and the second questionnaire was use to attain learners perception on the smartphone addiction for the learning purposes. The participants of the present attempt were (N=174) undergraduate students of a public university. The finding of the study displayed that university students spend more than 8 hours in a day on their smartphones.

It is obvious that any strategy for village health care must involve the people actively - something that is more easily said than done. There is hardly any technology for rural health that does not have a significant software component. Why is it that so much that is known cannot be applied? What factors may be important in the diffusion of technology in a rural society? Technology must address itself to the needs as perceived by the people (in addition to what is perceived as their needs by the health care system). It must be compatible with the knowledge and skill levels of the community. Benefits must be visible to the community through appropriate assessment and feedback procedures so as to secure greater and greater involvement.

Strong typhoon and earthquake seriously threaten the safety of the life and property of the people. A cost-effective and reliable method is proposed to monitor the natural frequency response of building under excitation of external forces based on the applying digital image correlation method, DIC. The analysis accuracy of this dynamic DIC method is tested and verified by comparing with numerical analysis program, accelerometers, ACC and fast Fourier Transform, FFT. The test results reveal that the analysis accuracy of this DIC method near to the ACC and FFT traditional experimental methods. They demonstrate that using this DIC method to detect dynamic response of building under the excitation of external force has high practicability.

By Taberannang Korauaba Although the Pacific nation of Kiribati has been identified as one of the most vulnerable countries to the impact of climate change, little is known about the attitudes of the local media and the public toward this issue. This is in contrast to empirical study findings which have shown that the public and the media were aware of the threats posed by climate change. This monograph extracted from the author’s thesis argues that the people of Kiribati are not united over climate change. Browse the author's MCS thesis on Kiribati

This paper describes an empirical study that examines how formal analysis was used in strategic decision-making in three organizations of different structural types. It was found that the nature of the formal analysis carried out, the people involved in it and the purposes behind it varied from organization to organization. An attempt is made to characterize the dominant patterns in each organization and to explain these patterns in terms of the nature of the organizational structure. Some alternative explanations of the differences observed are also suggested.

AbstractFood is the paramount necessity of the people, while food safety is the priority. Facing the increasingly serious food safety problems in China, how to improve food safety has become the responsibility of the whole society, and also the obligation of social development. Based on the 8000 residents’ survey data, the ordinal logistic model was used to analyze the residents’ satisfaction with food safety. The results show that residents are generally worried about food safety, and there is a strong demand for safe food. Gender, age, educational background, supervision, publicity, and complaint handling significantly affect residents’ food safety satisfaction. In terms of income heterogeneity, low-income residents have the highest degree of satisfaction with food safety. With the improvement of income level, their degree of satisfaction is decreasing. The high-income class residents have a strong consciousness of rights safeguarding after purchasing unsafe food. For low-income residents, their awareness of rights protection is declining due to insufficient income. In the way of rights protection, most respondents choose to return or refund money after negotiation with the seller. The lack of punishment for unscrupulous sellers is one of the main reasons for the frequent occurrence of food safety problems in China.

The Indian economy being one of the emerging economies among the twenty global traders with annual growth rate projected at 7.4% for the year 2014-15 as compared to 6.9% growth in the fiscal year 2013-14.With second largest population in world and third largest purchasing power parity India suffers from socio cultural issues such as poverty and unemployment. The major question here is on sustainable growth of the nation. An easy and affordable access to financial and banking services accounts for the financial inclusion particularly for the lower and vulnerable sections of the society. More the people earn more they invest and save more. In order to address the sate of inequality it is essential to give major priority for achieving 100 per cent or near to 100% Financial Inclusion. Gujarat being a rapidly growing state contributing 10% to India’s GDP despite efficient growth it lags behind in Financial Inclusion .The paper on Financial Inclusion in India: An empirical study of unorganized sector aims to do an in depth research in order to reason out for the unaccounted un-organized sector of the state. Unorganized sector refers to the people who drive their economic activities on daily basis by unregistered business firms or self employment. Dealing with primary data on Different parameters of Financial Inclusion pertaining to unorganized sector of Gujarat state and a regression model namely Logit Model is estimated to examine the relationship of Financial Inclusion parameter on various determining variables. Research work is on-going; we expect that Gujarat government has to focus on more spread of awareness among people of Gujarat who are not able to avail economic growth benefits equally despite an excellent performance in HDI, per capita GNI and other economic development parameters.
