This study focused on the event of Union budget on Indian stock market, the analysis has been made between a periods of 2012- 13 to 2015-16. Union Budget is considered to one of the major economic event which takes place every year. The direction of Indian economy is drafted by government of India through Union Budget. Volatility index (Vix) of the index was observed high throughout the month of February every year. Sharp differential Measures indicate that the performance of market goes to one direction after budget announcement and its analysis by the investors. Regression weight estimation initiated that Indian growth is influenced by the fiscal deficit. This analysis is useful for the equity investors namely Retail investors, Domestic Institutional investors (DII), Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) etc.

Cinema is one of the most popular forms of mass consumption that continuously conditioning the cultural values in Indian society. It plays a crucial role in informing, entertaining and educating its audiences. It has always seen as an important medium through which the harsh realities of life expressed through its fictional characters. Films with female protagonists are not new to Indian cinema; however, contemporary film makers are now even more comfortable in making bold films. Such female-led brings out the problems and success stories of women upfront, by allowing women to talk about it in public. By showing women as emotionally and economically independent, female centric films encourage societal change in the treatment of women in the patriarchal Indian society.Numerous studies have been conducted on the Indian Cinema Industry, and on the stereotypical portrayal of women in commercial Indian cinema. Although there have been some women - centered movies that have tried to address women’s issues, there has been very little, if any, research done on the portrayal of women in these films. In these movies, women are shown to break out of the conventional roles, and proved themselves as a maker of meaning. It is in this context the present paper makes an attempt to analyze women centric movies by focusing on the changing trends in the portrayal of female characters in film narratives.

The face of journalism has changed from the industry that relied on technology and information of happenings that took place overnight and is produced the next morning. Today media is all about gathering, filtering and visualizing information beyond what eyes can see. Gone are the days when ‘Nose for news’ was considered as one of the essential qualities for a journalist to report a news story. Interpretative and investigative reporting was considered as the job of senior and experienced reporters. Competition, advent of computer aided systems, interactivity and participation of audiences have changed the tradition form of news from 5 W’s and 1H to more data driven journalism. Giving a different shape to the journalistic writings which more based on data available from sources, journalist today are depending on data available from various sources like government bodies, corporate houses, reports from well know houses to develop and design stories. These stories are getting popular and accepted by the masses as they are not the normal ‘he said or she said’ stories rather they are more factual, impactful and transparent stories developed from more trusted sources. The objective of the paper is to study what data journalism is and its application in today’s mass media to develop news stories. The paper will also examine the challenges faced by mainstream journalist coming out with data driven writings and its popularity amongst the readers.

Phone Gap is a mobile development framework produced by Nitobi, purchased by Adobe Systems. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, instead of device-specific languages such as Objective-C or Java. The resulting applications are hybrid, meaning that they are neither truly native nor purely web-based. The software underlying PhoneGap is Apache Cordova. The software was previously called just “PhoneGap”, then “Apache Callback”. Apache Cordova is open source software.

The paper seeks to understand how media in the globalising world has contributed to the creation, advocacy as well as reactions to Islamophobic sentiments, resulting cultural boundaries and stereotypes across the world. Functionally, Islamophobia is a shorthand term referring to the “dread or hatred of Islam” and therefore a “fear and dislike of Muslims”. The paper systematically reveals how “Islamophobia” which is itself an irrational attitude, is socially constructed with the aid of the media. While on one hand the media erects the supporting walls of Islamophobia, on the other, it also provides a platform for its criticism and reactions. The paper also sheds light on how media representations of terror attacks serves in “educating” populations of different countries and in creating a “global” sentiment. Yet, such a global sentiment, as the paper shall reveal, does not integrate the cultures; rather it widens the gap. However, if media persons instead choose to take up the issue as a moral responsibility, they can even bridge this gap and help in applying a curative balm on the global sentiment.

especially the pricey consumer durables in a highly competitive globalized Indian market. Conventional wisdom postulates that price and income constraints are the major determinants of consumers’/buyers’ choices and resultant purchase decisions. Income constraint is overcome by access to finance, but prices have no such options except the choice of inferior quality lower priced goods/models. In fact, there is a wide range of options to choose from and many white Goods have relatively cheaper local brands available in the market. There exists highly marked market segmentation based on product prices and paying capacity of the buyers. Price constraint may constitute the bottleneck for only buyers in one segment of the market. A substantial proportion of low/moderate income group of buyers also tend to use finance to overcome their income constraint in order to buy high priced white consumer goods. The high income upward mobile and trendsetting consumers choose pricey options; they often go for newly produced goods on low scales which enter the market for the first time and which command extremely high prices. Greater the price of such goods, lower is demand for the same and higher is their conspicuousness, distinctiveness and snob value even among the higher income peer groups (See, Baghati, Arvind, 2012, Shri Prakash, 2010, and Shri Prakash, Shalini Sharma and Arvind Baghati, 2010). Generally, such products as enter the market for the first time embody entirely new designs and models while new designs and new models of existing products command extremely high prices due to production on a lower scale, high cost of innovation embodied in the evolving of new product or designs and attractive features, and high cost of market exploration and marketing (Cf. Cramer, 1972). High price, in its turn, limits the market size. This also adds to demonstration effect and snob value for the owners. First group of buyers of such new market entrant goods become the lead buyers for subsequent purchasers of these goods; they in fact act as advertisers of such goods without getting paid for it by the producers. They act as the leading consumers and trend setters in society and activate urges in others for the acquisition for these goods. This makes such buyers/owners of such goods feel not to be a part of the crowd and as ones who belong to exclusive class like the erstwhile Maharajas and Nobabs. Price is, however, also supposed to be a proxy of quality; higher the price, greater is the perceived quality, and the snob or demonstration value for the owners. All above facets reflect psychological urges and drivers of motivation, which directly or indirectly influences buyers’/consumers’ tastes and preferences. Tastes and preferences have, however, remained hidden behind the invisible curtain simply because these are neither observable directly nor measurable quantitatively. Therefore, tastes and preferences have generally been taken as given and fixed at the given poi

There has been a recent increase in the financial distress in assets of the banking industry. Constant defaults by corporate houses have led banks reach gross NPA levels of 5%.One major reason for this rise can be improper risk assessment by banks while giving out loans and improper monitoring of their portfolio companies. And further Indian banks do not use the most robust risk assessment tools and fail in taking early warning action. The paper tries to use two popular models, namely the Altman Zscore model and the Merton Model to predict financial distress in companies which have been the top defaulters in the recent past.The paper tried to determine whether such models are effective in predicting financial distress and how much before the occurrence of the actual event. Financial ratios and other quantitative data from March 2009- March 2013 forms the sample for the study for Kingfisher Airlines, MoserBaer, Gammon India, Educomp Solutions and Deccan Chronicles. The study found Merton model to be a better indicator of financial distress (of companies) than Altman Z score model. However, none of the models were able to judge the possibility of default at the time of issuance of loan indicating at its limitation. Nevertheless, these models which essentially are data driven for assessing the credit risk must widely be used by banks more often, replacing the existing reliance on simple ratios and intuition method.

However, none of the models were able to judge the possibility of default at the time\u0000of issuance of loan indicating at its limitation. Nevertheless, these models which essentially are data driven for assessing the\u0000credit risk must widely be used by banks more often, replacing the existing reliance on simple ratios and intuition method.","PeriodicalId":135569,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Innovations","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123848493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the problem of efficient and fast retrieval of images from a large database using sketch as query image. Basically searching is based on a descriptor that addresses the asymmetry between binary sketch from the user side and full color image of the database. The working of proposed algorithm is such that query image and full color database images undergo same feature extraction process. Database images will be clustered offline which reduces time complexity on runtime. Further indexing is done which will be used to describe, store and organize image information and to assist people in finding image resources conveniently and quickly. Firstly feature vector extraction is done using contours and then edges will be detected in different orientation using modulus maxima edge detection in contourlet domain. This approach is almost better than existing approaches in many aspects such as compactness of feature vector, simplicity of implementation, retrieval performance and efficient feature extraction less time complexity.
