There are several dynamics affecting the perception of customers towards online banking services. In this study, those factors as well as hurdles faced while using online banking services were studied in detail. The data was collected from 100 respondents with the help of a structured questionnaire. Statistical techniques such as correlation analysis and factor analysis were used for analysing the data. Clustering was done to identify the respondents belonging to various clusters. The results point out that educational qualification and income does not significantly affect online banking intensity. It was also observed that the main purpose of using online banking services was for viewing transaction details, transferring money and checking account balance. The main hurdles while banking online includes the absence of touch and feel, fear of cybercrimes and anticipated fear of impairing with the important information.

Polyhouse farming is used to protect crops from the adverse climatic conditions such as: wind, cold, precipitation, extreme temperature, insects and disease. Polyhouse technology protects high value vegetable crops and can be established as a small-scale industry in major vegetable growing areas of our country by progressive farmers especially in semi-urban areas. While doing polyhouse farming, there are several tasks which are considered dangerous for unskilled agricultural workers' health. The tasks are: pesticide crop sprayers, use of biological products, use of hazardous agricultural tools and machinery. The unskilled agricultural workers are vulnerable to various occupational risks due to ignorance and lack of education. Most of the farm workers are hired for planting operations, they might be exposed to pesticides thereby, several skin diseases, poisoning, abdominal pain, nausea, headache, eye problems such as: rashes, inflammation. Most of the time, workers were also involved in several strenuous activities like land preparation, manuring, planting, irrigation, picking, pruning, tying, packing and storage. Working in unsuitable environment, combined with stress to the body from heavy physical activity can be potential to health hazards of workers. Therefore, this study was conducted to study different activities performed and various occupational risks faced by polyhouse workers and suggest the corrective measures to overcome these risks and provide healthy and safe environment for these workers. It was observed that maximum of polyhouse activities were performed in awkward postures like squatting bending or stooping postures resulting strain on lower back, upper arm, neck, feet. It was also observed that respondents usually carried load of 25-30 kg/day of harvested crops, fertilizers, saplings, agriculture tools and equipment. Major occupational risks which were faced by polyhouse workers include: headache, skin allergy, breathing difficulty, slip disk, low back pain, postural discomfort, trip falls and cuts from tool or equipment. After assessment of causes of occupational risk factors faced by polyhouse workers, various measures were suggested to reduce these risks.

For the last 25 years, business intelligence has been an important area. It uses data analytics to generate key information to support business decision making. In the last decade, the drift of “Big data (BD)”, “Data mining”, “Information analysis”, “competitive analysis”, “data warehouse”, “knowledge management”, “artificial intelligence” has developed and grow into a core part of Business Intelligence systems. Bibliometric techniques are used in this study to examine publications from 1997 to 2022 in Conference papers and Articles journals in Business and Management areas from Web of Science and Scopus sources. Within this study, we have collected databases of Web of Science and Scopus. First, we merged the both database and then cleaned and analysis of results are obtained. The key research concentration is mainly to consider the exceedingly researched topics in this field of effect of Business Intelligence (BI) and Decision making in businesses. Unlike the previous survey, the research methodology used in this study is an amalgamation of bibliometric and thematic analysis, which assisted recognition in generating a comprehensive summary of the researched field.
