1981. Impact of make-in-India campaign on foreign investors towards FDI in IndiaRajan Gupta, Saibal K. Pal, Saibal K. Pal, 2016, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Make in India is not just an arousing call for investors, to contribute their serving into the developing economy of India, but a pledge to stimulate the development of manufacturing sector of the country. The major aim of this paper is to discover the determining factors of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), persuading investors to come and investment in India. This paper deals with primary aspects of Make in India campaign and Foreign Direct Investment. In this study, the dependent variable is Foreign Direct Investment and Independent variables are the determinants impacting FDI (market size, GDP, openness of the economy, labor cost and productivity, tax policies, infrastructure, foreign exchange rate, political stability and government regulations). According to the results, this study reveals the positive impact of Make in India campaign and variables impacting FDI for enhancing the domestic wealth of the nation and upholding the pace of progression and advancement. It will be useful for various stakeholders to understand the viewpoints of various investors from different countries looking forward to invest in India.

1982. Measuring data quality across open government datasetsRajan Gupta, Sushmita Yadav, Avinash Prasad, Saibal K. Pal, 2019, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Data Quality has become the base for any analytical operation or modelling. Poor Quality of data can lead to poor analytical modeling, which in turn can lead to poor decision making and predictions, which can finally impact the revenue and working of an organization. This is true for both public and private sector organizations. With rise in E-Governance, lot of nations and their respective public sector units are making use of publicly available datasets. But are these datasets reliable and have good quality. This is the major research question studied in this paper. The study collected publicly available datasets from Open Government Data platforms across 8 different nations around the world. More than 300 datasets having roughly 3.5 million rows were assessed for various data quality measures. The various parameters studied for the data were valid data types, correctness, completeness, statistical features, variability, comparability, duplicacy and the likes. Script was written in R to check the value for various measures. It was found that different countries had advantages on different parameters. Not one country was found to have all the parameters to be of high quality. Different ranges were found for the dataset for various parameters which was helpful in determining the overall quality of the dataset. This will be helpful for various public and private sector organizations in assessing the quality of datasets they intend to work on. Substantial efforts and resources can be saved on Advanced Analytics if the quality of dataset can be determined in advance. The proposed data quality assessment model can be applied on any private or public dataset. Different industry and organizations can set different threshold values for the parameters to benchmark their analytical process. Both practitioners and researchers can be benefitted from this research work.

1986. Effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics and acid rain on physiology and growth of Lepidium sativumSara Pignattelli, Andrea Broccoli, Manuela Piccardo, Antonio Terlizzi, Monia Renzi, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: This study evaluated the chronic toxicity (30 days) of different sizes of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
microplastics (60e3000 mm) provided alone or in combination with acid rain, on garden cress (Lepidium
sativum). Both biometrical and physiological traits have been evaluated: i) percentage inhibition of seed
germination, plant height, leaf number and fresh biomass production; ii) oxidative stress responses
(hydrogen peroxide; ascorbic acid and glutathione production); iii) impairment in photosynthetic machinery
in term of pigments production; iv) aminolevulinic acid and proline production. Results highlighted
that different sizes of PET, alone or in combination with acid rain, are able to negatively affect
both biometrical and physiological plant traits. In particular, the lower size of microplastics is able to
negatively affect growth and development, as well as to trigger the oxidative burst. Regarding the pigments
production, PET coupled with acid rain, induced a higher production of Chl-b, and an inhibition of
aminolevulinic acid.

1987. Technological and analytical review of contact tracing apps for COVID-19 managementRajan Gupta, Gaurav Pandey, Poonam Chaudhary, Saibal K. Pal, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Role of technology is improving for COVID-19 management all around the world. Usage of mobile applications, web applications, cloud computing, and related technologies have helped many public administrators worldwide manage the current pandemic. Contact tracing applications are such mobile app solutions that are used by more than 100 countries today. This study presents a structured research review-based framework related to multiple contact tracing applications. The various components of the framework are related to technological working, design architecture, and feature analysis of the applications, along with the analysis of the acceptance of such applications worldwide. Also, components focusing on the security features and analysis of these applications based on Data Privacy, Security Vetting, and different attacks have been included in the research framework. Many applications are yet to explore the analytical capabilities of the data generated through contact tracing. The various use-cases identified for these applications are detecting positive case probability, identifying a containment zone in the country, finding regional hotspots, monitoring public events & gatherings, identifying sensitive routes, and allocating resources in various regions during the pandemic. This study will act as a guide for the users researching contact tracings applications using the proposed four-layered framework for their app assessment.

1989. Design & analysis of clustering based intrusion detection schemes for e-governanceRajan Gupta, Sunil K. Muttoo, Saibal K. Pal, 2016, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The problem of attacks on various networks and information systems is increasing. And with systems working in public domain like those involved under E-Governance are facing more problems than others. So there is a need to work on either designing an altogether different intrusion detection system or improvement of the existing schemes with better optimization techniques and easy experimental setup. The current study discusses the design of an Intrusion Detection Scheme based on traditional clustering schemes like K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means along with Meta-heuristic scheme like Particle Swarm Optimization. The experimental setup includes comparative analysis of these schemes based on a different metric called Classification Ratio and traditional metric like Detection Rate. The experiment is conducted on a regular Kyoto Data Set used by many researchers in past, however the features extracted from this data are selected based on their relevance to the E-Governance system. The results shows a better and higher classification ratio for the Fuzzy based clustering in conjunction with meta-heuristic schemes. The development and simulations are carried out using MATLAB.

1990. Proposed framework for information systems security for e-governance in developing nations : assessment and way ahead for key componentsRajan Gupta, Sunil K. Muttoo, Saibal K. Pal, 2017, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: E-Governance is rising rapidly in various parts of the world. And with rising digitization of the resources, the threats to the infrastructure and digital data is also rising within the government departments. For developed nations, the security parameters and optimization process is well placed but for developing nations like India, the security parameter is yet to be addressed strongly. This study proposes a framework for security assessment amongst E-Governance departments based on Information System principles. The major areas of security to be covered up are towards Hardware, Network, Software, Server, & Data security, Physical Environment Security, and various policies for security of Information Systems at organizational level.
