Abstract

Palm recognition system is used in order to improve the performance and reliability. The physical dimensions of a human palm contain evidence that is capable of verifying the identity of an individual. Palm geometry based verification systems utilize the geometric features of the palm like length and width of the palm, diameter, area and perimeter. The biometric system is a confirmation system which utilizes these palm geometry features for user authentication. It is being extensively used in various applications like attendance, access control, anti-pass back, point-of scale and interactive kiosks etc. The main objective of designing this system is security. In this paper various techniques of Palm Recognition has been presented.

The primary areas affected include school, family, work and relationships. The research design adopted was Co relational Research Design. The conceptual frame work for this study was based on Health Belief Model. The study had been conducted in Atmiya Engineering College, Rajkot. Non-probability purposive sampling technique had been adopted to select the desired samples. The sample size was 160. As an intervention I administered the Internet addiction scale among the samples and identified the level of Internet addiction among them and then administered the depression scale for the purpose of assessing the level of depression among the internet addicted individuals. The collected data were analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods, 'r' test was used to evaluate relationship between internet addiction and depression.

Abstract

SUPW (Socially Useful Productive Work) is very close to the concept of basic education, given by Mahatma Gandhi, according to which education in and through work is important. SUPW is a prevocational subject at secondary school level that enables students to become self-reliant. But still the subject suffers from ineffective implementation as well as gender stereotypes constrain in the society. The choice of activities for SUPW is mostly different in case of boys and girls. The study clearly proves the prevalence of gender stereotypes in the mind-sets of students that is not only affecting their choice of vocations but also attitude towards the subject like SUPW. Repetitive and traditional activities performed under SUPW are making the subject very boring and burden on the students. Concept clarity about the real meaning of SUPW is required in students'. The ischolar_mains of the subject need strengthening and improvisation by transformation of activities under it; to achieve the goal of work centred education and experiential learning irrespective of gender stereotypes.
