As a result of the recently occurred pandemic it has become apparent even for the common people that reality no longer can be seen through the lenses of simplification. Humankind has entered a new age characterized by complexity and lack of transparency. The border between nature and society has disappeared revealing that both of them are ruled by laws of complex systems. The relationships in complex systems are non-linear, categories are bond to language and understanding is a function of fuzzy logic. There is one chaordic world where changes cannot be predicted. Sudden small changes can lead to major transformations. The human mind has not been equipped by evolution to the challenges of complexity. Human beings living complexity are driven to escape from insecurity to security. Instead of reducing tension infodemics in social media induce anxiety and a sense of insecurity resulting inadequate response of the users. As a consequence of cognitive inadaptation users of social media tend to develop symptoms of depression, anxiety, paranoia, irrational credulity and resistance to accept evidence-based communications.

The bloom of COVID19 has resulted in the explosion of ripple pollens which have severely affected the world community in the terms of their multi-axial impact. These pollens, despite being indistinguishable, have a varied set of characteristics in terms of their origin and contribution towards the overall declining homeostasis of human beings. The most prominent of these pollens are misinformation. Various studies have been conducted, performed, and stochastically replicated to build ML-based models to accurately detect misinformation and its variates on the common modalities of spread. However, the recent independent analysis conducted on the prior studies reveals how the current fact-checking systems fail and fall flat in fulfilling any practical demands that the misinfodemic of COVID19 brought for us. While the scientific community broadly accepts the pandemic-like resemblance of the rampant misinformation spread, we must also make sure that our response to the same is multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, and doesn't stand restricted. As crucial it is to chart the features of misinformation spread, it is also important to understand why it spreads in the first place? Our paper deals with the latter question through a game-theory-based approach. We implement a game with two social media users or players who aim at increasing their outreach on their social media handles whilst spreading misinformation knowingly. We take five independent parameters from 100 Twitter handles that have shared misinformation during the period of COVID19. Twitter was chosen as it is a prominent social media platform accredited to the major modality for misinformation spread. The outreach increment on the user’s Twitter handles was measured using various features provided by Twitter- number of comments, number of retweets, and number of likes. Later, using a computational neuroscientific approach, we map each of these features with the type of neural system they trigger in a person’s brain. This helps in understanding how misinformation whilst being used as an intentional decoy to increase outreach on social media, also, affects the human social cognition system eliciting pseudo-responses that weren’t intended otherwise leading to realizing possible neuroscientific correlation as to how spreading misinformation on social media intentionally/unintentionally becomes a strategic maneuver to increased reach and possibly a false sense of accomplishment.

Human beings are so fragile and impatient that they are easily subjected on emotional basis. It is in human nature that they empathise everything that emotionally attach with them. Emotion plays a vital role in the entire world of human relationship. It is not inept to note here that our thoughts are often forms the core of our actions. It reflects the framework of our psychology greatly. There are instances in the world of living where one work affects because of the mood of a person. Deliberately, the writers across the world develop and circle their thoughts around emotional balance of human beings in various points. They successfully stress the effect of a particular crisis and it’s outcomes on human mind. The present research paper deals with the effects of such crisis on the lives of human being who are deeply engulfed in their normal life. The study is a sincere endeavour to bring to the fore a serious effect of Nepali-a politically motivated-uprising on the common man living peacefully, amicably in harmony with nature.

The precious data from online origin has developed into a extended research. The mass media and news media provides the daily events to the common people. Huge amount of information is been achieved by an online social media suchlike Twitter, which contains more information about news-associated content. It is necessary to find a way to filter noise, for these resources to be useful and grab the content that is depend on the similarity to news media. Despite after the noise is eliminated the excessive data still remain in the data so it is essential to prioritize it for utilization. We are introducing three factors for prioritization. The unsupervised technique finds the news topics that are common in the pair of social media and news media, and then ranks them by the applicability factors such as MF, UA and UI. Initially the temporal prevalence of the appropriate topic in news media focus (MF). Secondary the temporal prevalence of the appropriate topic in social media illustrates the user attention (UA). Finally the interconnection among the social media users who specify this topic demonstrates the power of the society who is discussing; it is termed as the user interaction (UI).

Today’s consumers are too smart to buy their needs through various means. But before buying their needs, they go through various online sites and social media review about product performances and price. While surfing this information they can able to evaluate its real value and price advantages, since online establishment need not spend cost for showroom with staff. Consumers need not roam here and there to various shops to evaluate the product performance and its cost. Moving from one place to other is tedious journey and time-consuming part. It is also difficult to ensure their required models are available or not. Moreover, consumers can view forthcoming new models in the manufacture’s site whereas these details may not be shared in showrooms. Earlier accessing internet is complicated and needs a system to view. Now this can be accessed through smart phone. The prices of smart phone were also drastically lowered. After the entry of Jio network, the cost of one GB data were brought down to Rs 15/to Rs 20/- from Rs 250/-. This could be an affordable price for the common people. With the above improvements, the smart phone usage in the country has increased and every smart phone user are in a habit of surfing the internet or interacting in the social media now and then. While so, everybody can be able to see the various products in the online markets and its review. This will provoke the user to buy the products through online. In America ToySaras and BabySaras, retail showrooms of baby products were forced to close during 2018, since most of Americans preferred to shop through online and few other retail shops are in the same stage of closing. The above situation may also be aroused to Indian Market in the near future. To know the objective of the consumers’ preference and their choice, customers’ voice obtained through survey may be helped to us and its findings may help the online marketers to fine tune their strategies accordingly.

AbstractThis essay vindicates two major aspects of the science-based philosophy of Michael Polanyi: 1. His concept of tacit knowing, and 2. His concept of the multi-levelled character of reality. These two notions relate closely with one another, and together support the thesis to be argued here, that when it comes to understanding human beings, and most especially the human mind, science and religion have to meet on the common ground of the transcendent capacities of human beings, which are pointers to the transcendent character of the universe. The mind is an emergent of the universe, as are all of its other amazing characteristics, but mind is also, therefore, a clue to the character of the universe and its encompassing reality. Mind reflects reality; reality invites mind.

All human beings are able to see, listen and interact with their external environment naturally. There are some people who are differently abled and unfortunately they do not have the ability to use their senses to the best extent. Such people are dependent on other means of communication like sign language or hand gestures. As this hinders the communication between the challenged person say bed-ridden or even paralysed and the common people, it affects to a great extent in their progress and makes them difficult to achieve their dreams. To bridge this gap in communication there is a need of system of gesture recognition or sign language.

High culture is a collection of ideologies, beliefs, thoughts, trends, practices and works-- intellectual or creative-- that is intended for refined, cultured and educated elite people. Low culture is the culture of the common people and the mass. Popular culture is something that is always, most importantly, related to everyday average people and their experiences of the world; it is urban, changing and consumeristic in nature. Folk culture is the culture of preindustrial (premarket, precommodity) communities.
