To Study the Impact of AI on Business and Customer Services - A Case Study on Swiggy

In the food delivery sector, the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has grown significantly. An important player in the Indian market for online food ordering and delivery, Swiggy, has been looking into how AI could improve its business processes and customer support. This topic intends to analyze the research on artificial intelligence (AI) utilisation in the food delivery sector and investigate its possible uses for Swiggy. The paper covers several AI applications and their effects on many business elements, such as logistics optimization algorithms, NLP-based chat bots, and picture recognition-based recommendation systems. According to the study, Swiggy could boost customer service, increase delivery efficiency, and give users tailored recommendations if it used AI. However, it is essential to assure the moral use of AI and address any potential privacy and prejudice issues. The study comes to the conclusion that AI offers a lot of potential for enhancing Swiggy's business processes and customer service, which would eventually improve customer satisfaction and retention. To do the findings of this topic the sample size of 400 restaurants were taken into account to know the customer preference and the service provided by the restauramt partners in the Swiggy platform and to rectify there problems and issues faced by them in accepting the orders and their online presence in the Swiggy app so that there customer ratings and service can be increased.

In this article, the authors analyze the provisions of the Institute of prejudice in civil proceedings, concerning the issues of prejudice of judicial acts decided in criminal proceedings, and also highlight some of the problems arising in their application in judicial practice and possible solutions to such problems. The institution of prejudice in civil proceedings has undergone significant changes, including in terms of the list of law enforcement acts, which the legislator has given a pre-judicial value. At the same time, both in the scientific world and in law enforcement practice, the question remains open as to how to correctly assess the information contained in the decision to terminate a criminal case on non-rehabilitating grounds, if such a decision was made not at the judicial stage of criminal proceedings. This problem, in the opinion of authors is becoming increasingly important in light of the reform of the procedural legislation to ensure reasonable terms of consideration of civil disputes, as well as assist people are victims of crime with maximum support from the state in obtaining evidence of harm as a result of this wrongful act.

Ciberativismo LGBTQIA+ no Youtube: Pautas, Estratégias e Motivações para Ação

Este artigo discute o ciberativismo LGBTQIA+ a partir de vídeos de canais do Youtube. Os estudos no campo da Psicologia social têm priorizado pesquisas no ambiente virtual que têm textos como objeto de análise. Considerando a abrangência da dimensão comunicacional, defende-se que a análise de vídeos abrange aspectos fundamentais nas investigações sobre ciberativismo. Diante disso, desenvolveu-se um estudo com o objetivo de caracterizar o ciberativismo em canais LGBTQIA+ do Youtube brasileiro, partindo da análise de vídeos desses canais, no que se refere às suas pautas, formas, motivação e mudanças pretendidas. O estudo foi desenvolvido em duas etapas: (1) levantamento dos canais de ativismo LGBTQIA+ no Youtube e (2) análise documental de vídeos desses canais. Participaram da primeira etapa 281 pessoas que se reconheceram como seguidores de canais de ativismo LGBTQIA+, e que identificaram, a partir de uma lista, os canais que consideravam mais relevantes no que se refere ao ciberativismo LGBTQIA+. A partir desse levantamento, seguindo o conteúdo e o número de visualizações, foram definidos quatro vídeos a serem analisados. Os resultados indicam que os vídeos abordam, de forma central, a questão do preconceito, seja apresentando esse fenômeno em situações específicas, seja discutindo suas repercussões e formas de enfrentamento.

\u201cI Would Kill the Director and Teachers in the School\u201d Cyberbullying of Hunters in Poland

The aim of the paper is to focus on cyberbullying (Donegan in Elon J Undergrad Res Commun 3(1):33–42, 2012) affecting the community of hunters in Poland. The investigation reveals that linguistic aggression pervades more and more spheres of our lives and the Internet, which gives anonymity and physical distance, is the main forum of cyberbullying. The researchers investigate the material gathered from websites such as “Ludzie przeciw myśliwym” [Humans against hunters], hunting-related blogs and Facebook sites devoted to hunting and related to persons who are known to be hunters (e.g. spokesmen of the Polish Hunting Association). The problem of the stereotypical perception of hunting is also raised (Bartmiński and Chlebda in Etnolingwistyka 25:69–95, 2003. https://doi.org/10.17951/et.2013.25.69). The issues of prejudice, stereotyping and lack of knowledge result in the possibility of inciting people to cyberbully others. People brought up in cities, far away from nature, are easily convinced to attack other groups which they perceive as deviant (Bartmiński and Chlebda 2003). The verbal aggression deeply rooted in stereotypes and prejudice based on limited knowledge of nature, overly idealistic and naïve worldviews becomes more and more widespread. Therefore, the authors intend to provide some insight into the problem of cyberbullying of hunters in Poland in order to find the patterns of that activity from socio-semiotic perspective analyzing verbal signs and symbols used to justify that sort of behaviour as well as socio-linguistic perspective concerning the usage of emotion-loaded language. Additionally psycho-linguistic issues will be touched upon as well as the problem of shaping the image of hunters by media will be discussed.

Lady Justice Without Her Blindfold: An Analysis on How Race Influences Sentencing

Over the years, racial prejudice in sentencing has been one of the prevalent problems affecting the criminal justice system. In other words, the intersection of racial dynamics with sentencing processes in the courtroom has a longstanding duration. Although, courtrooms in many jurisdictions were comprised of all whites decision makers in earlier times, there is more diversity of leadership in the court system today. However, race still plays a critical role in many criminal justice outcomes. A particularly important aspect of the role of race in the justice system relates to sentencing, and recent generation of evidence suggests that race is still undeniably present in the sentencing process. The objective of this article is to project the influence of race on the criminal justice system, focusing on how race plays a major role in sentencing decisions. This article further focuses on some of the prevalent racial prejudice issues relating to sentencing outcomes. This article is divided into four parts. The first part of this article deals with the role race plays in sentencing outcomes. The second part of this article deals with how racial prejudice prevails major aspects of sentencing, focusing on sentencing outcomes for a few crimes such as, rape, drug crimes, and murder. The third part of this article addresses how race determines who gets a death sentence. The fourth part of this article focuses on the approach to eradicating racial prejudice in sentencing decisions. Even though it may seem farfetched to completely eradicate racial prejudice in sentencing, it is not totally unachievable. Finally, possible solutions will be proffered to the racial prejudice issues surrounding sentencing outcomes.

Prejudice Issues in Arbitration Proceedings

The paper is devoted to some aspects of applying the institution of prejudice in the framework of the arbitration proceedings. The paper analyzes two topical issues of interest for both procedural science and law enforcement practice. The first question relates to the prejudicial effect of general jurisdiction and commercial courts’ decisions for arbitration proceedings that entered into legal force: can the circumstances established by the enacted act of the state court not be subject to proof in the framework of the arbitration proceedings? Based on the results of the study of this issue, conclusions are drawn. Another issue concerns the equally important problem of applying the institution of prejudice in arbitration proceedings: Does the arbitral award have the feature of prejudice and can the circumstances established by the arbitral award not be subject to dispute when considering another case, both within the framework of arbitration proceedings and in the framework of state justice? Based on the analysis of scientific doctrine and judicial practice, including the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the author proposes a set of measures aimed at improving the legal regulation of arbitration proceedings.

Prejudice to honour or reputation in copyright law

This article examines the author's right of integrity of authorship contained in the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), which is the right of an author to object to a 'derogatory treatment' of his or her work. A treatment of a work is derogatory if it is 'prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation'. No Australian court has decided upon an issue ofprejudice to honour or reputation yet. To reduce the uncertainty that currently surrounds the right of integrity, this article will thoroughly interpret the phrase 'prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation' and establish tests for determining whether a treatment is prejudicial to an author's honour or reputation

A corporificação do gênero textual e os sentidos polissêmicos do texto tatuado no corpo humano: cadernos ambulantes

This study addresses tattoo as a social phenomenon, adopting the perspective of discourse genres. The objective is to analyze the configurations of tattoos inscribed onto the human body – understood as an occasional support for this discourse genre – in order to identify the impressions, senses, meanings and purposes made explicit and implicit through these practices. To this end, we conducted bibliographical and field research using a qualitative approach. The data were analyzed primarily on the basis of Bakhtin’s epistemology of discourse genres, discussing the relationship between genre and textual substrate and current notions about the tattoo and the human body. Field research was conducted at two tattoo studios in Teresina, state of Piaui, Brazil, and involved five interlocutors: two tattoo artists and three tattoo recipients. Discussions revealed a significant recurring number of tattoos which reaffirm the dialogic and interactional nature of this discourse genre. They also demonstrate that, as a means of conveying their desired explicit or implicit messages, tattooed subjects – the authors of their own text –use the body as a polysemic instrument to express ideas and as an incidental substrate for an epidermal grammar, thus accepting the struggle to tackle and overcome issues of prejudice, searching for recognition of its artistic and cultural value, as well as social acceptance. The body is thus used as an instrument of speech, a means of expressing one’s wishes and desires through art. This way it constitutes the metaphor of a “walking notebook”, whereby the skin is transformed into a space for definitive registration of linguistic signs, by means of symbols charged with ideological values, which move actions in the world, and through the movements of the physical and material body itself in space. Keywords: genres of speech, tattoo, polysemic bodies.

Acculturative Experiences of Black-African International Students

There has been a significant increase in the number of international students pursuing higher education in the U.S. since 2001. Upon arrival, students are often beset with feelings of isolation and alienation, which are characteristic of adjusting to a new culture. African International students, specifically Black-African international students, are no different in this regard and often experience significant adjustment concerns. Most notable of the concerns for Black-African students are the issues of prejudice and discrimination, which can lead to the experience of acculturative stress. It is, therefore, imperative that institutions find ways to help Black-African international students adjust better to life in the U.S. This paper discusses some adjustment concerns of Black-African international students and provides some suggestions for addressing their concerns.

It's not your imagination: things you must know about anxiety, depression and other emotional disorders that affect one in every three individuals

When we seek to know more about the history of psychiatry and mental illness, we find at our disposal an eclectic set of readings: from the wise and deeply scientifically grounded book of Edward Shorter, the History of Psychiatry1, to the fantastic philosophical and archival development of Foucault with his History of Madness2. Despite the wide variety of speeches and opinions that these readings display, all of them strongly agree on one point: the stigma of mental illness has existed since time immemorial, long before the birth of the discipline psychiatry. One might mistakenly think that the issue of prejudice against mental disorders and against their bearers is a thing of the past, an issue of the Middle Ages, time of the famous witches hunt. Today, after nearly two hundred years of the existence of psychiatry and with so many discoveries about the brain, provided by neurosciences, the persistence of this sort of discrimination would be incompatible, once it derives from an archaic era. Nevertheless, this is a mistaken idea. If we look at the international literature on the stigma of mental illness, we can observe that every year increasingly more works are published from all over the world on the issue3. The Revista de Psiquiatria Clinica itself recently showed results from the first national study in Brazil about stigma4. In the current days it is clear, for example, that stigma causes immense losses to people with mental disorders: years of delay between onset of the disease and diagnosis, refusal to seek help to avoid discrimination, lack of treatment resources in the public health system and so on5. Once stigma is still present, persisting nowadays and being highly prejudicial, how do we fight it? Information. This is one of the most important tools in this fight. And information needs to be accurate, scientifically based and accessible to persons who have no technical knowledge about mental health issues6, 7. The authors Naiara Magalhaes and Jose Alberto de Camargo managed to achieve this goal uniquely with the work It’s not your imagination (Nao e coisa da sua cabeca). The opening chapter is one of the most robust and conceptually polished. “To begin with” (“Para comeco de conversa”) begins with a description of the situation of social invisibility of a person with mental disorder, a situation in which many people are. Figures are high and impressive: people live on average 13 years with depression before seeking treatment for the first time. At another point in the book figures rise to impressive 36 years when it comes about phobias. The authors point out the lack of information and stigma as important causes for this harm to persons. Through interviews with renowned professionals in the area of mental health in Brazil, authors then explain with stunning clarity how mental illness would be the result of social and biographical injuries allied to a “biochemically fertile soil”, the vulnerable brain. At the end of the chapter the book’s goals are stated: to clarify the tortuous paths by which our mind functions and to provide a “more peaceful coexistence with the diseases of the soul”.

DIVERSIDADE SEXUAL, PRECONCEITO E DISCRIMINAÇÃO

O artigo apresenta um panorama das dificuldades que se colocam para que diferentes disciplinas possam dialogar para favorecer a compreensão da construção da sexualidade em sua complexidade, de um modo geral, e suas implicações para a questão do enfrentamento dos preconceitos e discriminação diante da diversidade sexual (LGBT). Revisita a teoria dos “roteiros sexuais” de Gagnon e Simon (1973) e esboça uma visão geral sobre os pressupostos que fundamentam a “Teoria Queer”, com destaque para os autores que a influenciam, na busca de uma nova postura epistemológica para que se possa produzir um novo enquadramento para a questão do preconceito e da discriminação em relação à diversidade sexual.

Teaching and Learning Guide for: Imagined Intergroup Contact: Theory, Paradigm, and Practice

A goal shared enthusiastically amongst many social psychologists is the improvement of intergroup relations. Conflict between groups is usually related to distinct, and in many cases opposing, identities, based on (for example) ethnicity, nationality, and religion, but also gender, age, sexual orientation and political or individual preferences. Our research has developed a new intervention for improving intergroup relations based on an integration of theory and empirical work on social cognition and intergroup relations. We've called the technique Imagined Contact because it is based on the mental simulation of intergroup contact experiences. Collectively, our research has focused on refining and evaluating imagined contact as an effective tool for the enhancement of intergroup relations. Our article in Social and Personality Psychology Compass provides a summary of the basic theory underlying imagined contact, a review of empirical findings to date, and a framework for developing practical applications of the intervention (in particular as a school-based intervention). We wanted to offer a teaching and learning guide for this article because we believe that the imagined contact task provides a flexible, effective, and easy-to-use tool for teachers, seminar leaders, students, and practitioners. The task can be used as a basis for encouraging more positive and open attitudes towards other groups, a way of preparing people for future intergroup encounters, a stimulus for discussions about the value in experiencing social diversity, and a way of illustrating the power of mental processes in forming and challenging attitudes about others.

Patricia Beatty's historical novels and her engagement with feminism

In this paper, I place Patricia Beatty's historical novels that feature girl protagonists in the context of the women's movement. I argue that Beatty, a self-identified feminist, writes into her novels a woman-centered history. In so doing, she was writing in the same tradition as women historians in the 1970s, who were challenging the absence of women from traditional historical narratives. In her novels set in the American West, she writes about women's domestic lives, their work, and their move toward independence and suffrage in the nineteenth century. In novels set in the Civil War and Reconstruction, she writes about the displacement of women mill workers in the South. She also addresses issues of prejudice and slavery. An analysis of the texts of Beatty's historical novels and her notes makes visible her attitudes and values toward feminism, which are based on the concept of equality rather than difference. Beatty's contribution to writing in women's history in her novels has largely been unrecognized, but her commitment to valuing the lives of women and the lives of others, who have been subjected to discrimination, cannot be doubted.

“You would not add to my suffering if you knew what I have seen”: Holocaust Testimony and Contemporary African Trauma Literature

The aim of this article is to explore possible correlations between literature of Holocaust, widely defined, and recent works about genocide, mass-murder, and atrocity in Africa. It will focus on number of texts that concern both Rwandan genocide (Gil Courtemanche's novel/memoir Sunday at Pool in Kigali [2003] and Paul Rusesabagina's memoir An Ordinary Man [2006]) and victims of numerous conflicts on continent (Uzodinma Iweala's Beasts of No Nation [2005], Dave Eggers's What Is What: The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng [2006], and Ismael Beah's Long Way Gone [2007]). However, as both initial hypothetical linkage and object of discussion (African trauma literature) are problematic concepts, I will offer an introductory account of how and why this might be fruitful comparison. The and Postcolonial In his study of discourse of Third Reich, Victor Klemperer writes that Strafexpedition [punitive expedition] is first term which I recognised as being specifically National Socialist.... For me word Strafexpedition was embodiment of brutal arrogance and contempt for people who are in any way different, it sounded so colonial, you could see encircled Negro village, you could hear cracking of hippopotamus whip. Later, but unfortunately not for very long, this memory had something comforting about it despite all bitterness. A mild dose of castor oil. (43) In this fragment, two things become proleptically clear for future understanding of and twentieth-century history. The first--it sounded so colonial--is complex interweaving between discourses of empire and colonialism on one hand and discourses of Third Reich and on other. The second--A mild dose ...--is immediate diminution of these complex interweaving histories. Working though what Dirk Moses calls conceptual blockages as well as issues of prejudice and layers of collective memory, historians, cultural thinkers, and philosophers are now turning with more interest to exploring complex and contentious relationship between Holocaust, colonialism, and genocide; and they are finding this relationship more than a mild dose.' Mark Mazower, for example, notes how Hitler's imagination was caught by example of British in India. Their model of imperial rule, such as he conceived it, struck him as admirable ... for him Ukraine was 'that new Indian Empire': Eastern Front would become Germany's North-West frontier (150). Yet those who develop these historiographical congruencies tread delicate path. As Jurgen Zimmerer and others point out, they should try to avoid using as paradigm or benchmark for genocide and atrocity: yet, as Moses's account of recent historical research suggests, this is very hard. He cites historians of Armenian and Cambodian genocides who use as heuristic device and others who develop concepts of cumulative radicalization, race branding (The Holocaust 547-49), and more diffuse and complex links between violence, modernity, and state building, all drawing from study of Holocaust. Other approaches trace impact of colonial policy, or wider European imperial discourses, on development of genocidal operations of Reich. And others, too, explore contrasts between different genocides. Despite desire not to let small number of examples from Europe, taken without context, set agenda, pull of is sometimes simply too strong. Those making these comparisons must also avoid opposite risk of collapsing into history of colonialism contra Aime Cesaire's famous comment on Nazism: the people of Europe tolerated Nazism before it was inflicted on them ... because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples (14). …

How integrative approaches to intergroup attitudes advance the field

Contemporary inquiry into the origins, nature, and treatment of children’s prejudice began in earnest in the United States in the 1950’s (Clark & Clark, 1947). Since then, with noteworthy exceptions (Aboud, 1988), the research community has paid the issue of prejudice in childhood only intermittent attention. We believe that a serious treatment of inter-ethnic prejudice requires examining its origins, early manifestations, and evolution throughout childhood and adolescence. In the past 6 to 8 years, research on children’s prejudice has expanded to include investigations of children’s intergroup attitudes that encompass analyses of stereotypes, outgroup homogeneity judgments, ethnic identity, intra-group dynamics, exclusion, cross-race friendships, stereotype threat, and implicit biases (for a review, see Killen, Margie, & Sinno, 2006). This work has drawn on social psychological theories to assess the developmental origins of adult attitudes. Developmental psychology has a long history of examining the origins, acquisition, and age-related changes in children’s reasoning about social justice (morality) and social relationships (peer and adult– child), but developmental psychologists have only relatively recently focused with sufficient intensity on the development of intergroup beliefs and attitudes. Similarly, while social psychology has a long history of examining intergroup attitudes among adults (see Brown & Gaertner, 2001), only recently have social psychologists begun to focus on developmental questions. While most developmental and social psychologists work squarely within their respective disciplines, rarely crossing borders, increased collaboration across these disciplines of psychology is critical both for advancing theory in each field and for making practical gains to reduce prejudice in an enduring and meaningful way. The goal of this special issue was to bring together researchers in the area of developmental psychology, who have focused on children’s and adolescents’ intergroup attitudes, particularly judgments about race, ethnicity, and culture. We invited six scholars and their colleagues to submit empirical articles reflecting their current research on this topic. To provide an international perspective to pressing issues of prejudice, intolerance, and negative intergroup relationships, we intentionally invited Applied Developmental Psychology xx (2005) xxx–xxx

Broken Glass

Is it possible for a Jewish woman in 1938 New York to develop hysterical paralysis of her legs in response to events in Nazi Germany? And how much are her symptoms a reaction to longstanding difficulties in her marriage to a man who is impotent, autocratic, subject to sporadic violent rages, and uncomfortable with his Jewish identity? Is it appropriate for an honest play which explores issues of prejudice, oppression, tryanny, and genocide to be simultaneously humorous and entertaining? What if at the end one feels almost as moved by the miserable (and dead) husband as the heroine, who finds the power to walk again only when her husband expires? These are the difficult questions posed by Arthur Miller in Broken Glass, his latest play recently in repertory at London's National Theatre. The weighty themes are leavened by the hallmark wry humour, sparkling dialogue and deft characterisation.

Toward the Breathing Rights of Counselors and other Persons

Non-smokers have breathing rights in a society of smokers is the theme of this drug education article. At least 8 million Americans suffer from the ill effects of tobacco smoke. This is a sizable minority of persons in this nation. The issue of minority rights to breathe non-polluted air in spite of smokers in close quarters is as important as any issue of prejudice to other minorities in this country. For the first time in counselor education literature, this article states the issue and in a non-judgemental manner suggests various solutions to the problem of counselors and others who smoke in inadequately ventilated rooms. In a clear and concise manner, the author presents ways to face up to drug education by every person who smokes and how to make the environment more livable for a significant number of non-smokers who get sick from tobacco smoke in their immediate atmosphere. Counselors who believe in being sensitivve to all persons and their physical as well as their psychological problems can be valuable change agents in a increasingly dangerously polluted air crisis. A recent survey of smoking and non-smoking counselors by Eddy indicates the extent to which: all counselors are against smoking as a healthy thing; smoking counselors are insensitive to their smoking in the presence of clients who prefer they do not smoke in counseling sessions; and smoking counselors ignore non-smoking signs to prove their insensitivity.
