Authors: E. Uma Mageswari , V. Nalini V.
Published: February 2023

School teachers play the pivotal role in establishing students’ interest in learning every day. Teachers are the direct implementers of the school curriculum in the classroom. These teachers inspire the students to think critically and creatively. School teachers really shape the society so that school could aid not just by its role in developing the society but sustainable development in particular. Teachers are also active learners. They learn from their students most especially in the changing society as well as the changing behaviors of the students. Teachers are themselves learning throughout their teaching career. Good teachers are always in search of the activities that help them in their professional development. Teachers seek for new innovations and updates in their area of expertise because the knowledge with which they graduated to become a teacher before has become insufficient now. Teacher education refers to both pre-service and in-service programmers' which adopt both formal and/or non-formal approaches. It is a continuing process which focuses on teacher career development.

BELINDA’S WORLD OF TRIVIALITY IN THE RAPE OF THE LOCK: A MICROCOSM OF EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND AND THE IRONIC JUXTAPOSITION OF HER STORY WITH THE CLASSICAL EPICS
Authors: Bhati Tripti
Published: February 2023

The Rape of the Lock is one of the best examples of mock-epic or mock-heroic poems written in English History. It is an imitation of Horatian satire, written in the Eighteenth-Century by Alexander Pope, in which he uses irony, sarcasm, and exaggeration to expose follies and vanities of the aristocratic or upper class in England in an undignified and grandiose manner. Written in heroic couplets about a trivial subject matter, the poet juxtaposes the trivial world of the upper class with the heroic deeds mentioned in the classical epics. This paper navigates the epic allusions used in The Rape of the Lock to mock the shortcomings of the upper class in England and to also satirize the epic tradition itself.

Published: February 2023

पंचायती राज व्यवस्था में महिलाओं की भागीदारी वर्तमान में ‘‘महिला सषक्तिकरण’’ के लिए एक सार्थक प्रयास है। महिला नेतृत्व पंचायतों में कम प्रतिस्पर्धा से आया है। महिलाओं की ग्रामीण विकास एवं सामाजिक सुधार व सषक्तिकरण की धारणा उत्साहवर्धक मानी जा सकती है। संचार माध्यमों के प्रति उनकी जागरूकता का स्तर निम्न होना अषिक्षा एवं कमजोर सामाजिक आर्थिक स्थिति से जुड़ा विषय है। महत्वाकांक्षा का अभाव भी इस सन्दर्भ में अन्तर्सम्बन्धी प्रतीत होता है। यदि महिला नेताओं/प्रधानों के उत्तरों को समग्र रूप में देखा जाय तो ग्रामीण स्तर पर महिलाओं का एक ऐसा नेतृत्व उभर रहा है जिससे इस आषा का संचार होता है कि अनुसूचित जाति महिला नेतृत्व की पंचायतों में प्रथम औपचारिक भागीदारी; आगे आने वाले समय में ज्यादा सजग एवं जागरूक नेतृत्व देने में सक्षम होगी। उत्तर प्रदेष की पंचायतों के लिये यह एक आषापूर्ण संकेत है। प्राथमिक आंकड़ों से यह स्पष्ट है कि महिलाओं के आर्थिक जीवन में पंचायती राज संस्थाओं की सक्रियता एवं योगदान सराहनीय है। महिलाओं के आर्थिक जीवन में गुणात्मक सुधार लाने के लिए षासन की ओर से विभिन्न विकास योजनायें तथा कार्यक्रम संचालित हैं। जिसमें पंचायतीराज संस्थाएं 73वें संविधान संषोधन के उपरान्त अपनी त्रिस्तरीय व्यवस्था के अन्तर्गत अपने-अपने स्तरों पर अनुसूचित जाति की महिलाओं के राजनैतिक सषक्तिकरण में अहम भूमिकाएं निभा रही हैं।

Authors: Devi Shallu
Published: February 2023

Situation in Afghanistan is changing rapidly after the intrusion and increasing dominance of Taliban and recently with the United States and the Taliban reached an agreement on February 29, 2020, which will mark a turning point in America's longest war. As a result, the majority of US troops in Afghanistan are expected to leave by the end of 2021. As a result, if this agreement is implemented properly, factions of the Taliban may have a greater foothold in Afghan politics. For a country like India, this is not ideal. So, considering all these situations and information, this paper was designed to understand the current strategies of India after America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. The research identified that in Afghanistan, the Haqqani network, a prominent Taliban branch, has assaulted Indian installations. India need the presence of US-led soldiers as well as a sense of stability in order to invest in Afghanistan's future. India's stability is under jeopardy, and it has to refocus its aspirations immediately. In today's fast-changing world, this essay analyses the dangers of India's involvement in Afghanistan and offers strategies to address them. The US-Taliban agreement states that the Taliban would not allow terrorist groups to operate on Afghan soil, but it is unclear how the agreement will be monitored and carried out. The strategies currently deployed by India includes the different trade agreements or approvals to conduct business activities for economic welfare of both nations, mutual understanding for geopolitical situations, future developments etc.

The school's morning assembly provides a cool and disciplined beginning to the day's usually busy programme. It might be a way to convey and transform significant knowledge and ideals to the pupils. It provides a time of meditation before the workday begins, the school community gathers, and the assembly turns into a vehicle for addressing significant things to one another. The aim of this study is to emphasise the importance of morning assembly and the role of head masters, physical teachers in organising and maintain morning assemblies in schools. The concept of morning assembly is mentioned at the start of the article followed by importance, role of headmaster and physical education teacher and then suggestions how to conduct morning assembly.Rasa shastra is the branch in Ayurveda which deals with the use of Parada and other rasadravyas. Purification and samskaras are important processes on these dravyas in order to improve their efficacy and potency. Asamskarita shuddha Parada does not possess the desired potency; it needs to undergo special procedures named as Parada Ashta samskar. Parada Ashta Samskaras as Swedana, Mardana, Murchhana, Utthapana, Patana, Rodhana, Niyamana and Dipana are meant to make parada combine easily with other rasadravyas and also enhance its own properties. Each samskara specifies aims and objective of the method. In classical Ayurvedic texts, total Ashtadasha means 18 samskaras of parada are mentioned of which first eight samskaras are meant for Dehavada i.e. potentiating mercury for therapeutic purpose. The aim of each shodhana samskar is as follows : Swedana does Dosha Shithilikarana ( Loosening of the Doshas ), Mardana is Bahirmala vinashanam ( eradicate the Bahya Mala ), Murchhana is Nashtapishtatva karakam ( coversion of mercury from natural form to Pishta / Kalka form ), Utthapana is Swarup Aapadanam ( Regains its lost natural form ),in Patana samsakar, Parada gets rid of Naga, Vanga etc Doshas, Bodhana is to remove Klaibyatva of Parada ( Impotency of Parada ), Niyamana is to remove Chapalatwa i.e. Niyantrana, Deepana is to make Parada Grasarthi or Bubhukshita i.e to boost up its appetite. Hence, the literature study is focused on first Ashta Samskaras.
SOCIAL EQUALITY AND DEMOCRACY AS A WAY OF LIFE: DR B R AMBEDKAR
Authors: Babu M. Ravi
Published: February 2023

Political democracy cannot last unless there lies at the base of it social democracy. What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as the principles of life. Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Social equality is a concept seldom fully achieved, whereby all members of a society have completely equal treatment, opportunity and access to resources. There would be few separating strata, such as differentiations between genders, races, religious groups, or income that give some people more opportunities than others. This is different than socialism, where everyone has approximately the same amount of resources. Instead, true social equality means that no matter what society members have or who they are, they are treated equally and have equal opportunities. The idea of social equality is often intimately tied to concepts of egalitarianism in both of its forms. This concept either represents the sense, from a political standpoint, that all people deserve equal rights and treatment, or it is a movement that proposes a society should specifically direct its resources toward promoting equality of wealth. The latter stance is more of a socialistic approach, and the former is something adopted by many countries. It’s argued that the two definitions are related, because in so many societies, wealth confers additional power, and without addressing income inequities, there can be no true social equality. Social equality means that all the citizens are entitled to enjoy equal status in society and no one is entitled to special privileges. There should not be any distinction of caste and creed, colour and race, groups and classes, clans and tribes All should have an equal opportunity to develop his personality. All citizens In India enjoy social equality.

Predicting Patient Mortality for Earlier Palliative Care Identification in Medicare Advantage Plans: Features of a Machine Learning Model
Authors: Bowers Anne , Drake Chelsea , Makarkin Alexi E , Monzyk Robert , Maity Biswajit , Telle Andrew
Published: February 2023

Background

Machine learning (ML) can offer greater precision and sensitivity in predicting Medicare patient end of life and potential need for palliative services compared to provider recommendations alone. However, earlier ML research on older community dwelling Medicare beneficiaries has provided insufficient exploration of key model feature impacts and the role of the social determinants of health.

Objective

This study describes the development of a binary classification ML model predicting 1-year mortality among Medicare Advantage plan members aged ≥65 years (N=318,774) and further examines the top features of the predictive model.

Methods

A light gradient-boosted trees model configuration was selected based on 5-fold cross-validation. The model was trained with 80% of cases (n=255,020) using randomized feature generation periods, with 20% (n=63,754) reserved as a holdout for validation. The final algorithm used 907 feature inputs extracted primarily from claims and administrative data capturing patient diagnoses, service utilization, demographics, and census tract–based social determinants index measures.

Results

The total sample had an actual mortality prevalence of 3.9% in the 2018 outcome period. The final model correctly predicted 44.2% of patient expirations among the top 1% of highest risk members (AUC=0.84; 95% CI 0.83-0.85) versus 24.0% predicted by the model iteration using only age, gender, and select high-risk utilization features (AUC=0.74; 95% CI 0.73-0.74). The most important algorithm features included patient demographics, diagnoses, pharmacy utilization, mean costs, and certain social determinants of health.

Conclusions

The final ML model better predicts Medicare Advantage member end of life using a variety of routinely collected data and supports earlier patient identification for palliative care.

Authors: Ahn Junggeun , Kim Jiu
Published: February 2023

Background

Self-management has become important as a complementary approach to the recovery of patients with mood disorders, and the need for a remote intervention program has been revealed in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective

The aim of this review is to systematically review the studies for evidence on the effects of online self-management interventions based on cognitive behavioral therapy or psychoeducation for patients with mood disorders and to verify the statistical significance of the effectiveness of the interventions.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search will be conducted using a search strategy in nine electronic bibliographic databases and will include all randomized controlled trial studies conducted up through December 2021. In addition, unpublished dissertations will be reviewed to minimize publication bias and to include a wider range of research. All steps in selecting the final studies to be included in the review will be performed independently by two researchers, and any discrepancies will be resolved through discussion.

Results

Institutional review board approval was not required because this study was not conducted on people. Systematic literature searches, data extraction, narrative synthesis, meta-analysis, and final writing of the systematic review and meta-analysis are expected to be completed by 2023.

Conclusions

This systematic review will provide a rationale for the development of web-based or online self-management interventions for the recovery of patients with mood disorders and will be used as a clinically meaningful reference in terms of mental health management.

Factors that influence the adoption of a school-based eHealth alcohol prevention program: a mixed methods study. (Preprint)
Authors: Rosado-Pulido Ester Alejandra , Fernández-León Pablo , Lima-Serrano Marta , de Vries Hein
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Drinking alcohol among adolescents is a public health problem in many countries. Evidence-based research has shown that the successful adoption of health interventions is positively related to a successful implementation program; nevertheless, limited resources exist regarding which are the factors influencing the uptake decision to use preventive school-based programs, and even fewer concerning interventions using computer-tailored (CT) technology addressing alcohol consumption in adolescents.

OBJECTIVE

The current study aims to identify factors influencing the adoption of Alcohol Alerta – a computer-tailored eHealth alcohol prevention program - to increase the likelihood of voluntary adoption. Frameworks such as Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theory (DIT) and the Integrated Change Model (ICM) were used as theoretical bases for understanding the adoption process.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study employing an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design following a development mixing purpose was carried out. Interviews were conducted with ten school counselors. Descriptive data were identified and coded based on the predefined research questions and theoretical model following a theoretical thematic coding approach. The qualitative research findings were used for developing an online quantitative questionnaire (N = 100) with Spanish school personnel including the school management team, school counselors, and teachers.

RESULTS

School personnel with strong intention to adopt the program (intenders) perceived significantly more advantages and positive innovation attributes than those participants with weaker intention to adopt (non-intenders). Intenders perceived a higher personal relevance towards the use of the program, more self-efficacy and positive social influences from their colleagues, and a greater agreement in preparing action plans than the non-intenders group. Advantages and social support were found to significantly explain a portion of the variance in the adoption intention.

CONCLUSIONS

This study supports the importance of motivational factors influencing the intention of adopting an innovation. Based on the study results, it is suggested that health intervention researchers develop strategies tailored to enhance educators' pro-innovation attitudes, perceived personal relevance and responsibility, and perceived ease of use towards adopting an eHealth program. Furthermore, ensuring a supportive environment towards the acceptance of the intervention among the school personnel and planning specific actions pursuing the goal intention to use the program are crucial elements to optimize adoption promotion and, therefore, foster dissemination of eHealth programs in school settings.

Black women’s quest for identity: A critical Study of Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun
Authors: Chauhan Parul
Published: February 2023

Tracing the history of black feminism, it becomes evident that the social construction of racism, sexism and classism was the driving force behind the widespread violence and discrimination against black women. They are found searching and struggling to attain their identity in this patriarchal world. Black feminist thought leads to certain ideas that clarify a standpoint of and for black women. Black feminist perspectives focus on the social domination on the basis of gender, race and class oppression. These oppressions are densely interwoven into social structures and work collectively to define the history of the lives of Black women in America and other coloured women worldwide. It takes us back to the era of United States slavery during which period, a societal hierarchy was established, according to which White men were supposed to be at the top, White women next, followed by Black men and finally, at the bottom were placed Black women. Black feminists were critical of the view that suggests that black women must identify as either black or women. The present paper looks at Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun from a black feminist viewpoint. It discusses position of a woman in male dominated society and her struggle for identity. It unfolds the saga of suffering and silencing of a black woman, which pervades the black women writings. It is depicted that black women have to face the unique challenging task of fighting for black liberation and gender equality simultaneously. The play effectively unthreads the history of African American women’s lives and their quest for identity in African American society. Issues of masculinity and femininity are deeply woven in this play. Women in this play present a microcosm of society; they are treated as second class citizens in society. Hansberry has depicted through her play the superiority that men pose over women. The glimpse of patriarchal dominance is visible throughout the play through different male characters. It further focuses on the value of the individual women’s identity and women’s right and freedom to construct their own separate identities rather than having them imposed against their wishes. It delineates how African American Women try to speak out against oppression and create a sense of individual identity in the face of silence and absence.

Abstract: Agroecology is one of the oldest and noblest professions in India. Farmers face a lot of hardships while using traditional methods of farming in today's technologically centric world. Precision farming is a modern approach in comparison to traditional cultivation techniques. We are predicting the right crop using parameters like district, rainfall, temperature, area, a crop which would help the farmer to predict the crop yield prior to making the decision to cultivate their final crop. This method can provide the farmer with valuable insights and assist them. In this paper we are using various techniques like Ridge Regression and Classifier. We have used different datasets on these models to get a better accuracy

The authors mark the main historical events of the St. Petersburg Mining University’s Department of Engineering Geodesy hundred-year work. A great experience in Surveying theory and practice started in the times of Peter the Great was accumulated. The beginning of Russian Surveying skills forming dates at 1701 with foundation of “Navigation and Mathematic Sciences school” in Moscow. Beside engineers and gunners, surveyors were trained there. In 1715 navigation classes moved to St. Petersburg; on their base the Nautical academy was founded. In the first technical higher educational institution of Russia, St. Petersburg Miming University (at that time Mining School), the basic subjects were land- and underground Surveys. In the USSR industrializing of the country was started, so the part of Geodesy in it was among the main ones. Well-trained technical personnel were required. The Department occurred to be one of the first in the country. The history of its creating, establishment and development is given in brief. The main attention is paid to the Chairmen of the department, their achievements, scientific interests, tasks they were facing and solutions.

In this study, the effect of Lactococcus lactis and Bacillus sp. (Gram-positive bacteria) on survival rates of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from egg to larval stage was investigated. In addition, the effects of bacteria on the blue sac syndrome in the fry stage of fish and basic water quality criteria were also noted. Bacteria were applied by immersion method to healthy-eyed eggs during the incubation period. Two bacteria and the control group were examined in a duplicated plan. The highest survival rate was 92.5% observed in the Bacillus sp. group (L. lactis; 70% and control; 45%). The lowest survival rates in all groups were observed during the alevin stage. It was found that the amount of nitrite in the water decreased in the bacteria-applied groups, and it was determined that the effects of blue sac syndrome (caused by the pathogen A. hydrophila) were suppressed in the Bacillus sp. group.
