    Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social problems.

Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs fin d what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, andpersuading entire societies to take new leaps. Social entrepreneurs often seem to be possessed by their ideas, committing their lives to changing the direction o f their field. They aie both visionaries and ultimate realists, concerned ivith the practical implementation o f their vision above all else. Each social entrepreneur presents ideas that are user-friendly, understandable, ethical, and engage widespread support in order to maximize the number o f local people that will stand up, seize their idea, and implement with it. In this context this paper aims to analyse social entrepreneurship as a multidimensional model involving the expression ofentrepreneurially virtuous behaviour to achieve the social mission, a coherent unity ofpurpose and action in the face o f moral complexity, the ability to recognise social valuecreating opportunities and key decision-making characteristics ofinnovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking and to compare the unique characteristics o f social entrepreneurs.

    Keystroke Dynamics authentication using Data Fiitering Techniques and Neurai Network Approaches
    (2010) Shanmugapriya, D
    bcuring the secret data and computer systems by allowing ase access only to the authenticated users and enduring the ^ k s of imposters is one of the major challenges in the of computer security. Traditionally, user name and ■sssvord schemes are widely used for controlling the access B computer systems. But, this scheme has many flaws such B Password sharing. Shoulder surfing. Brute force attack, ISctionary attack, Guessing, Phishing and many more. Sametrics technologies provide more reliable and efficient »52ns of authentication and verification. Keystroke S^namics is one of the famous biometric technologies, i ^ h will try to identify the authentication of a user when be user is working with a keyboard. In this paper, neural Wnork approaches with keystrokes for three different jBss>N'ords namely weak, medium and strong passwords are Bten into consideration. Neural Network algorithms are azended by applying normalization techniques for data fflsring before performing the classification on the datasets. iSe performance of normalization based neural network ^ rithm s is compared against neural network algorithms all different category of passwords and the accuraey lijtained is compared.
