This article highlights mainly on the area i.e., how the blockchain technology has
impacted on the process of accounting and auditing, and certain areas where the
blockchain technology can be applied to make the existing ERP more robust. Blockchain
brings the trust between the parties to a reasonable consensus in a business process by
means of decentralized ledger provided to each party with a single shared source of truth.
Lastly, blockchain technology is helping the auditors to find the trails of the event in a more
cost effective and efficient way. By using the sample study of accounting professionals,
experts and users it has been observed that.
Impact of Monetary Policy on Indian Economy: [PP 20 -26]
Monetary policy matters for growth both in the short run & long run. This study
focuses on the impact of various monetary instruments on the Indian Economy. These
instruments include GDP growth, unemployment rate, inflation rate, FDI. Using these variables,
it was found that the economy of a nation is totally dependent on these factors. The objective of
the project is to know the effectiveness of monetary policy in India & analyze the impact of
selected monetary instruments on the Indian Economy.
Spatio-temporal change in land use and land cover pattern and its impacts- A case study of East Kolkata Wetland: [PP 27 - 34]
Designated by Ramsar convention, East Kolkata Wetland is the largest
natural sewage treatment system that is ecologically productive and provides a unique
ecosystem with varieties of flora and fauna. East Kolkata wetland is bounded by
Kolkata megalopolis in the west and satellite township Rajarhat Newtown in the north.
The Kolkata metropolitan city generates more than 800 million litres of sewage
everyday which is purified by the natural purifier, East Kolkata Wetland. It is said to
be the ‘Kidney of Kolkata’ as it also sequesters carbon and absorbs the city’s storm
water during floods.
The importance and benefits of East Kolkata Wetland is immense, but the sad irony lies
in the fact that due to certain unplanned and rapid urban expansion of Kolkata city,
this great ecosystem is under threat to urbanisation. There has been significant
challenge for East Kolkata Wetland with the expansion of Kolkata city and also
increase in urban landfills. East Kolkata wetland is bounded by Kolkata megalopolis in
the west and satellite township Rajarhat Newtown in the north. In this perspective, the
main objective of the paper is to study the temporal land use changes of 30 years and
factors responsible for the rapid transformation. Land use and land cover map has been
prepared to observe the temporal changes along with the analysis of the perception of
local people.
Role of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in COVID-19 Pandemic: [PP 34 - 40]
The most flexible branch of computer science is artificial intelligence (AI). It contributes
to the development of intelligent machines capable of executing activities that would normally need
human intelligence. The medical sector is looking for innovative tools to monitor and control the
spread of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic in this global health disaster. AI offers numerous
technologies or systems that aid in tracking the transmission of this virus, identifying high-risk
patients, and controlling this infection in real time. AI can also forecast mortality risk by gathering
and evaluating past data from patients. These AI-based solutions can assist us in fighting this illness
by scanning the population, providing medical assistance, notifying us, and making infection-
control recommendations.
One of the most sophisticated technologies currently and for the near future is the
cryptosystem. The complete system, encompassing the fields of cryptography and
cryptanalysis, a wide range of mathematical methods and algorithms, as well as suggestions
for future developments, will be covered in this article.
