Blockchain is one of the fastest growing and most important technologies in the world. Most of the people think that blockchain is all about cryptocurrency or bitcoin, but it is beyond that. It is a technology that creates immutable and distributable data records that are shared between peers in network database systems and records digital events in such a way that it cannot be altered or recognized until it reaches the recipient.

Today, machines observe, record, and sense the world—not just for us but also often instead of us and indifferently to our meaning. The intertwined problems of technological knowledge and (our) knowledge of technology manifest in the growing industry of smart machines, the Internet of Things, and other means for self-tracking. The automation of the care of the self is buoyed by a popular fantasy of data’s intimacy, of machines that know you better than yourself. Yet as the technology becomes normalized, the hacker ethic gives way to a market-driven shift in which more and more of “my” personal truth is colonized by machines (and the people behind the machines) that I cannot question.

Up to the present time, nearly 70 of her compositions can still be found in isolated villages and farms in Tanzania, New Guinea, India, Colombia or in a hut in Malawi. The object of literature, after all the "land" and "the", and each writer often "freeze" a land of their own, a social class to tell, to describe and dissect. Pearl Buck chose vast country like China and the most populous in the world, rather than her native country, to "ground" his art. Despite of living in the land of China only about three decades, time only a third of the life she lived, but the land and the people here have written off the source of her career, which she wrote more works profound value.

Among the applications that Internet of Things (IoT) facilitated to the world, Healthcare applications are most important. In general, IoT has been widely used to interconnect the advanced medical resources and to offer smart and effective healthcare services to the people.  The advanced sensors can be either worn or be embedded into the body of the patients, so as to continously monitor their health. The information collected in such manner, can be analzed, aggregated and mined to do the early prediction of diseases.  The processing algorithms assist the physicians for the personalization of treatment and it helps to make the health care economical, at the same time, with improved outcomes. Also, in this paper, we highlight the challenges in the implementation of IoT health monitoring system in real world.


Water is one of the nature's profitable endowments, which oversees life on earth. Human headways over the world have succeeded or kicked the bucket depending on the openness of this key, so to defeat this issue proposed work used savvy systems utilizing IoT. This venture incorporates different highlights like GSM based observing, dampness and temperature detecting, Water vanishing level. The worldwide framework for versatile correspondence (GSM) is utilized worldwide for constant recognition, overwhelming and alarming of dam water level. This propel innovation utilizes short message administrations (SMS) to straightforwardly administration and screen the opening and closing of the shade in dam. Through the SMS this system cautions the people remaining nearby places with respect to the expansion in water level. Temperature gadget, sense the progressions in atmosphere temperature and take up pertinent live like easing the overabundance water in dam for water system reason in seasons. This paper gives a nearby model of the framework that detects the progressions like temperature and water level refinement exploitation sensors, and flood recognition exploitation GSM technology. This venture is to encase the adjustments in temperature and dampness of water level in lake. because of a worldwide temperature alteration, the water vanishing in the lake is expanded, which may prompt lack in water. This undertaking will help individuals to quantify the level of water got dissipated. This venture will make individuals mindful about the mugginess happened because of dissipation of water

ICTs are increasingly being recognized by the people across the globe as essential tools of development – tools that can empower them, enhance skills and increase productivity. Today, the realities have changed. The world is not what it was during their times. Technology, science and other aspects of affluence have widened the gulf between rich and poor. On the other hand, they have also brought the world closer, in terms of connectivity. This has resulted in stupendous growth in terms of information exchange, business, education, agriculture, infotainment, inventions and better contact between places and people. The concept that the authors are about to present represents this very dream of bringing villages, towns, and cities closer, in more ways than tying them by technology. This chapter mainly reviews the conceptual frame work of e-halli. The second section deals with the e-halli as a business perspective.

The number of classical banks in the world has reduced. In the majority of countries the number of banks does not exceed 200. The uniqueness of the Russian banking sector is that in this respect it takes the third place in the world after the USA and Germany. The paper reviews the conclusions of the economic theory about the optimum structure of the banking market. The empirical analysis shows that the number of banks in a country is influenced by the size of its territory, population number and GDP per capita. Our econometric estimate is that the equilibrium number of banks in Russia should be in a range of 180-220 units.

The authors point out that the local market crisis - on the USA substandard loan market - has led to the uncertainty of the world financial market. It has caused the growing demand for liquidity in the framework of the world financial system. The Russian banking sector seems to be more stable under negative changes than banking systems of other emerging markets. At the same time one can assume that the crisis will become the factor of qualitative shift in the character of the Russian banking sector development - the shift from impetuous to more balanced growth.

This study deals with Universal Values and Muslim Democracy. This essay draws upon speeches that he gave at the New York Democ- racy Forum in December 2005 and the Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy in Istanbul in April 2006. The emergence of Muslim democracies is something significant and worthy of our attention. Yet with the clear exceptions of Indonesia and Turkey, the Muslim world today is a place where autocracies and dictatorships of various shades and degrees continue their parasitic hold on the people, gnawing away at their newfound freedoms. It concludes that the human desire to be free and to lead a dignified life is universal. So is the abhorrence of despotism and oppression. These are passions that motivate not only Muslims but people from all civilizations.

Be it industry or academia, Internet of the Things (IoT) has become buzzword today. Everyone is expecting a system of gadgets controlled by web without human intervention. The concept has opened many possibilities and a fear of failure too. All over the world the research is going on and few organizations have already started implementing the concept at a small level. But the available research is still immature and undirectional. The area is very young, the research too. Hence there is a need to develop an IoT architecture which is universally acceptable by various IoT objects as well as server.  To facilitate with the need, the paper presents a novel IOT architecture. In addition, the interaction of IoTobjects with each other has been discussed alongwith connection of a server’s infrastructure with another server’s infrastructure through API gateway.
