The Aim is to study the cognitive functioning and evaluate the extent of cognitive loss in patients with Traumatic Brain injury. Methodology: A sample of 50 out-patients was taken from hospital. PGI BBD was used to assess the cognitive functioning. Results indicated that domains on memory showed severe dysfunction, intelligence was moderately impaired and perceptual motor skills were mildly impaired. Out of the total number patients, 26% has no neuropsychological disability, 40% had mild disability, 24% of the patients have moderate level of disability and only 10% had severe neuropsychological disability. There is no significant relationship between age, education, duration of illness with Neuropsychological disability. Conclusion: Patients with TBI have some extent of dysfunction in memory, Intelligence, perceptual motor skills causing mild neuropsychological disability in 40% of the TBI cases. There is no significant relationship between age, education, duration of illness and neuropsychological disability.

The Global Systems for Mobile Communication(GSM) is really the most boundless versatile Communication innovation existing these days. Its acquaintance goes back to the last part of the eighties, it experiences a few security weaknesses, which have been focused by numerous attacks intended to break the fundamental correspondence convention. A large portion of these attacks related to the A5/1 algorithm used to ensure overthe-air correspondence between the two gatherings of a call. Notwithstanding, it is as yet being used in the GSM networks as a fall-back alternative, in this manner actually putting at hazard the security of the GSM. This standard provides worldwide roaming & Interconnection with any available GSM network including the ones implemented in IOT so that users need to be aware of the possible security issues. The goal of this work is to survey the absolute most applicable outcomes in this field and examine their reasonable possibility


The cerebral hemispheres play crucial role in forming the mental state of human being. “Hemisity”, is an aspect of the brain that considers two distinguished modes of information flow into the brain their differential processing modes within the two hemispheres. These two modes of information processing become the foundation for the development of differences in the functions of the two cerebral hemispheres. Each hemisphere has certain areas assigned with certain functions. The dominance of a particular processing mode in the brain of an individual gives rise to specific behavioural and personality characteristics. An individual may be excellent in performing certain tasks and may exhibit characteristics which would define his individuality, his identity and the dominant talent. These characteristics may be strongly correlated with the hemispheric dominance. Thus, it is considered that there may be a close link between hemisity and behavioural characteristics of an individual. This research aims at understanding the correlation between Hemisity and behavioural characteristics of a group of volunteers. The samples selected for this research were 150 males and 150 females of age group, 18-25 years. To measure characteristics exhibited by an individual Binary Preference Questionnaire (Morton, 2003) will be used and a questionnaire is developed and validated by an expert neuropsychologist to measure the brain dominance and characteristics exhibited by the right or left-brain oriented individuals. The results showed that less than half of the total number of samples reflected hemispheric dominance and exhibited respective hemisphere characteristics. However, more than half of the samples reflected hemispheric dominance but exhibited characteristics of nondominant hemisphere. The hypothesis that there exists a relation between Hemisity and behavioural characteristics exhibited by the right and left-brain oriented individuals is not completely supported by the data obtained. Thus, the result stands inconsistent with the data obtained and the earlier researches.

In this developing virtual era, the recreational activities like online games have turned into very intriguing tasks by giving whole new identities and avatars to individuals. This allows the individual to interact and also do anything that seemed possible as well as impossible in real lives. This virtual identification sometimes crosses into the real world, as they allow gamers to sell virtual game items for real-world money in markets and sometimes even requires use of real money to create or purchase personal property in their online world. This has created an opportunity for virtual crimes involving social and technical risks. The widespread adoptions of such Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) have not only become a dedicated activity for gamers but also act as a platform for social engineers. Social Engineering is considered as an art of collecting sensitive data/information by persuasion or manipulation of individuals and is the first step involving social risk in virtual crimes. MMORPGs were found to be highly socially interactive environments providing the opportunity to not only form relationships but also to be targeted by social engineers. In this study, we are reviewing and evaluating social interactions and psychological factors of MMORPG gamers which are making them vulnerable to social engineering threats. Various studies have assessed the psychological factors making an individual vulnerable to social engineering on social network interactions and also few studies have analysed the behaviours and relationships of gamers in online interactions. Observing such factors, in this study we analysed how the social engineers, disguised as fellow gamer, would target similar psychological vulnerabilities in the gamers by using social interaction platform on MMORPGs to gather personal and sensitive data from the targeted gamers.
