The present paper describes the strategy to mitigate and control epidemic contingencies in the backdrop of Kerala's Covid-19 containment plan. I have purposefully selected Kerala, the southernmost state of India, because of its globally acclaimed experience in efficiently managing the cases of coronavirus that were reported. Even tackling the Nipah and Zika virus cases in the pasts, makes it an exemplary unit of study. Moreover, the past experience of the state points to the fact that the containment strategy adopted is the result of an evolved practical approach. I came across certain innovative strategies implicating community mobilization like community kitchens, social surveillance, large scale production of face masks etc. by utilizing the hidden productive capacity of communities that extended from women self-help groups, youth clubs and even prison inmates. Moreover, the state's controlling and containing measures were mentioned by international media and agencies like the BBC and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Community mobilization during epidemic emergencies: Insights from Kerala

Lane lines play a key role in indicating traffic flow and directing vehicles; lane detection serves as a core component in most of the modern-day advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). Computer vision-based lane detection is an essential technology for self-driving cars. This paper proposes a lane detection system to detect lane lines in urban streets and highway roads under complex background. In order to nullify the distortions caused by the camera lenses, we generate a distortion model by calibrating images against a known object, and apply a generalized filtering approach using Sobel operator (Canny edge detection) in HLS color space. A bird eye view of image is generated using perspective transformation. A special search strategy using sliding window algorithm is used to detect lane lines, and later, curve fitting is done using polynomial regression. Thus, the obtained lane detector is overlaid upon a video to fill the detected portion of the lane. Then, it is applied to the video to detect lane lines. The image processing pipeline is written in Python using OpenCV libraries, and video processing is done using MoviePy. In this paper, the system developed is tested by applying it on a video taken from a camera mounted over the car. The environment used to implement the system is Anaconda. The results obtained show that the proposed system for lane detection, self-calibration and vehicle offset estimation is effective, accurate for both straight and curved lanes and robust to challenging environments. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Various psycholinguistics strategies applied to the acquisition of second and third language has become a prominent phenomenon in the last few decades. Yet there is paucity in the third language acquisition. The psycholinguistics strategies are used by few experts to teach second or third language. In this realm the cognitive method is used to acquire the language. The psycholinguistics principles bring out how one perceives the language and produces that particular language is important. While acquiring a third language from the medium of second language there is transference of second language rather than the first language to third language. Usually the structure of the second language is transferred to the third language. The learners commit errors when they acquire third language from the medium of second language. Normally the four skills of language acquisition are applied in the strategies of language acquisition. This article explains how psycholinguistic strategies affect the learning while acquiring a third language from the second language and how to rectify the committed errors.

Strategies of psycholinguistics on the acquisition of third language from the second language

This paper is a part of a project of translation of the book of Gloria Anzald{\'{u}}a' Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987) in Indian language(s). Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza is one of the path-breaking books which came in the time when Afro-American feminism already stood in opposition to white feminism by questioning the Euro-American centric feminism. Anzald{\'{u}}a started discussing Chicana feminism together with black feminism. Her book Borderlands is a painful but challenging narration of those who live on the ‘barbwire' between Mexico and the USA. In defining the border, she goes beyond the physical meaning to its symbolic significance and one of them is language. Language in her book has been uniquely presented as an identity that is multilingual, creolized, mestiza and subaltern language. Hence, her book is a challenge in the field of translation, especially in Indian context where languages have political, social and historical impact. Considering the above book as a project, I would primarily discuss why this book should be translated considering the Indian context? What are the different ways in which the translation can be defined in translating a text from One-Third world to another Third world? In this process, we find it relevant to revise the language and its relations to power in a postcolonial India, taking into account caste, class and colonial discourse. This epitome opens a debate to enter into the new political strategies which Gloria Anzald{\'{u}}a propagates through her book “Nueva Conciencia Mestiza” as moving towards “new language” which could be more inclusive.

Jai Shankar Prasad is the most celebrated personality of modern Hindi literature who belonged to the Chhayawad/svacchandatavada called as Romantic era, which gave rise to a new facelift in Hindi literature and Hindi theatre. He was an excellent Indian poet, novelist, and dramatist. He was very much influenced by the Vedas, Indian Philosophy, and culture, which was very well portrayed in his works. He had mixed up art and philosophy in his writings. As we say Literature reflects the images of society and portrays human life through its characters, Prasad’s plays have witnessed the role of women evolving through ages. Jai Shankar Prasad has chosen the title of his writings with different names which range from romantic to nationalistic. Through his writings, he became famous which lead him to win so many awards in the period of the Indian independence movement. He has shown the life history of many great personalities of ancient India through his Dramas. His dramas proved to be the most pioneering ones in Hindi literature. All his plays displayed a vivid range of social, political, and personal issues which were prevalent in the society during his times. Portrayal of women in literature was unusual during his times, but Jaishankar Prasad was well known for portraying women in the center stage which not only glorified them but dignified them too. The women in his plays are individuals who in her own way, are independent, self-sufficient, and unconventional.

Temporary auto pilot mode can help in saving lives, especially those of drivers. Using sensors, one can continuously monitor a driver’s biological attributes, collect and process the obtained biological data with algorithm to get the physical status of the driver and decide whether he is fit to drive. In this work, we propose an intelli-car with auto-pilot mode. In intelli-car, if the driver found unfit to drive, the car takes the responsibility by switching to a temporary auto pilot mode with the support of various sensors and algorithms. In addition, it will find a safer way to stop while sending its location along with the data obtained using Global Positioning System and Global System for Mobile Communication modules to the concerned authorities. A hospital nearby to that incident will be notified when the driver's biological condition is found unstable.
