(BRAC University, 2023-01) Akter, Sanzida; Omar, Mostafa Nayeem; Siam, Aanan Ehsan; Rahman, Fariha; Tanjib, Sadib; Rahman, Md. Khalilur
Most women face violence in public and at home, including rape, physical and emo tional abuse, mocking, and harassment. A social violence support system might allow people to seek aid from their friends, or relatives, or even request administra tive assistance. The goal here is to detect clearly and reliably the screams of the individual in the position that is in any danger, that is, if the scream arose out of dread and horror, based on a particular collection of audios. Screams elicited by dread and panic usually have a shorter length, a higher frequency, and shrill pitches, whereas screams elicited by other emotions or intentionally have a longer duration, a fixed frequency, and pitch. In this sense, if we can use scream recognition to recognize dangerous and consequential circumstances in our society and inform the appropriate individuals at the appropriate moment, we will be able to avert these issues to a degree that will benefit both society and its citizens. To assist the wider populace, we have implemented a system using Convolutional Neural Network to identify screams automatically. This model will assist us in recognizing screams and sending SOS signals or messages to suitable contacts. As a result, people who are in danger will be able to call the people from their selected contacts or general authorities who are within their reach at any time. This system will not only assist victims in avoiding danger, but it will also provide them with a sense of security. On the other hand, the general authority will be able to use this software to limit the quantity of social and domestic violence.

The study assesses employee responses, highlights strengths and weaknesses of current training programs, and makes recommendations for improvements. Employees of Pimkie Apparels Ltd. provided qualitative and quantitative data for the report, which was based on a mixed research methodology. Chapter One overviews the Pimkie Apparels Ltd. internship program through its focus on HR department work in training development initiatives. It covered multiple areas such as internship scope, contributions, and challenges faced, including limited digital infrastructure and workers reluctance towards training and recommendation for future internships. Chapter Two provides an overview of Pimkie Apparels Ltd., including its mission, vision, product offerings, and training programs. In order to enhance the capabilities of its employees, the company uses a variety of training methods, both internal and external. This chapter also discusses the various forms of training provided by the company, emphasizing the importance the company places on employee development. Chapter Three introduces the background of the study and emphasizes the importance of employee training in the garment industry. It also describes the significance of the study, statement of the problem, objectives and scope of the study. To fully understand the limitations of the study, the limitations encountered during the research are also presented. Literature review that examines previous studies on training and development in the garment industry. Investigate the role of training in driving employee performance, successful training methods, and previous research on industry training. It also discusses the concept of gender-sensitive workplaces and the importance of training in achieving gender equality and inclusion. And discusses the research methodology, including research design, data collection procedures, sampling procedures, and data analysis methods. To examine the effectiveness of the training, this study used a mixed research technique, combining survey data with qualitative employee feedback. Ethical issues regarding data collection and participant anonymity are also discussed. Chapter Four summarizes the findings, including an examination of employee demographics, perceptions of training effectiveness, and problems in implementing the training program. Analyze employee feedback on training frequency, preferred methods, and skills gaps. This chapter further explores training barriers, communication issues, and suggestions for improvement.
