Information and decision support systemNaveed Zahoor
Good decision making and problem solving skills are key to developing effective information and decision support systems. These systems include management information systems (MIS), decision support systems (DSS), group support systems (GSS), and executive support systems (ESS). MIS provides the right information to managers at the right time to support decision making. DSS are used for unstructured problems and can optimize, satisfice, or use heuristics to find solutions. GSS and ESS apply the DSS approach specifically to group and executive decision making.
A Decision Support System (DSS) is a computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decision-making. It can help managers at different levels of an organization make decisions by providing tools to access and analyze data. A DSS combines data, documents, knowledge, and models to help identify and solve problems. It has evolved over time from focusing on data and models to also include knowledge and documents. A DSS is made up of a database, models, and a user interface. It aims to support semi-structured and unstructured decision-making.
This document discusses decision support systems (DSS) and online analytical processing (OLAP). It defines DSS as interactive computer systems that help managers make decisions, using tools like analytical models, databases, and modeling processes. OLAP enables examining and manipulating large amounts of consolidated data from different perspectives. Both DSS and OLAP support analysis of operational data, markets, sales, and customers to help with decisions around pricing, forecasting, and risk.
A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. A DSS can provide suggestions or solutions to help decision makers, and allows modification of suggestions before validation.

DESIGN PATTERNS IN THE WORKFLOW IMPLEMENTATION OF MARINE RESEARCH GENERAL INF...AM Publications
This paper proposes the use of design patterns in a marine research general information platform. The development of the platform refers to a design of complicated system architecture. Creation and execution of the research workflow nodes and designing of visualization library suited for marine users play an important role in the whole software architecture. This paper studies the requirements characteristic in marine research fields and has implemented a series of framework to solve these problems based on object-oriented and design patterns techniques. These frameworks make clear the relationship in all directions between modules and layers of software, which communicate through unified abstract interface and reduce the coupling between modules and layers. The building of these frameworks is importantly significant in advancing the reusability of software and strengthening extensibility and maintainability of the system.
The discrepancies between the estimated quantities of building materials and the
final quantities used during the construction process requires the need to use more
accurate techniques in estimating building materials. The study aimed at developing
an android-based estimating app for builders on construction sites with the view of
increasing accuracy of estimated building materials. The study was carried out in two
stages, whereby one part required a survey to ascertain existing practices while the
other helped to develop the android application. A survey research design was utilized
on Builders in Lagos state in the south-west of Nigeria. Mean scores and correlation
matrix was used for the descriptive and inferential statistics. For the design of the
android estimation application for Builders, an android studio and Java programming
language was used in developing the app. The developed android app was run via the
android emulator. The descriptive data revealed that most of the techniques presently
used by builders in estimating building materials were traditional methods which were
drawn from either manual-based or use of experiential knowledge. Using these
techniques were hinged on several factors as identified in the study. An android-based
estimating app was developed for Builders with the aim of estimating for concrete
works, sandcrete blocks, ceramic tiles and mortar during the construction process.
The study recommended the use of information and communication technologies
(ICTs) in obtaining accurate building quantities needed during the construction
process.

The final cost of public school building projects, like other construction projects, is unknown
to the owner till the account closure. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is used in an attempt to
predict the final cost of two story (12 classes) school projects under lowest bid system of award
before work starts. A database of (65) school projects records completed in (2007-2012) are used to
develop and verify the ANN model. Based on expert opinions, nine out of eleven parameters are
considered to have the most significant impact on the magnitude of final cost. Hence they are used as
model inputs while the output of the model is going to be the final cost (FC). These parameters are;
accepted bid price, average bid price, estimated cost, contractor rank, supervising engineer
experience, project location, number of bidders, year of contracting, and contractual duration. It was
found that ANN has the ability to predict the final cost for school projects with very good degree of
accuracy having a coefficient of correlation (R) of (91%), and an average accuracy percentage of
(99.98%).
This document discusses using an artificial neural network (ANN) to model and predict the final costs of Iraqi public school construction projects. It begins by outlining the research objectives, justification, and hypotheses. The research methodology included collecting data from 65 completed school projects, developing an ANN model using Neuframe software, and evaluating the model. Experts identified 9 important parameters to use as inputs to the ANN model, including accepted bid price, estimated cost, contractor rank, and project location. The ANN model was able to accurately predict final costs for new projects, with a correlation of 91% between predicted and actual costs. This shows promise for using ANN to improve cost estimating efficiency for public school projects in Iraq.
GIS based material management and supplier selection in Thane city – A case s...AM Publications
Materials are the inputs to the construction activity. Materials forms the single largest component of the
total cost of the facility. Material cost being in the range of 50% to 60% of the total cost of the project. Improper
supplier selection usually faces problems in price of material, delivery, communication, quality, timely availability of
materials, etc. and its bad effect on the cost of project, so need of ideal supplier is for avoiding these problems and also
cost overrun. There are several method for supplier selection and it can be possible to select ideal suppliers by using of
those methods but these several traditional methods fails to collect information of all the suppliers with all their
material correctly, also it takes too much time to collect such information manually. For supplier selection purpose
requirement of all data about supplier like personal detail, cost of materials, quantity, quality, delivery services,
location, communication facility, discount, transportation facility, experience, etc. and collecting these information
would be less or no time consuming using data base. Hence GIS is very effective tool for data base management, GIS
should be used for storing and quantifying all data of all suppliers and using these data easily screen all suppliers in
very short time. By using GIS GRAM++ software, digitise map of study area, roads and locate location of suppliers,
Then it is very easy to find out suppliers location, all detail information of suppliers, ideal suppliers and shortest route

For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated.

By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.
