Factors Affecting the Performance of a Higher Education Institution in the Licensure Examination for Teachers
Authors: - Melry Joy Cabahug
Published: October 2023

Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) is of utmost importance since it not only enhances and develops the professional aspects of teacher education students but also serves as a key metric for gauging the overall quality of education and the system as a whole. It has been the ultimate focus of tertiary education institutions in the Philippines to meet the present demand of local and global parties and communities. As a result, a variety of tactics are used to raise the prospect's chance of happening. This study aims to determine the factors affecting the performance of Cebu Roosevelt Memorial Colleges in the Licensure Examination for Teachers for the past two LET years 2019-2021. This study utilized the descriptive - predictive method of research with the aid of binary logistic regression analysis and the use of secondary data and an adopted questionnaire to determine the respondents’ profile, personal accountability factors, and graduates’ outcome indicator in the Licensure Examination for Teachers. Results show that majority of the respondents were females, 22 to 26 years old with BSED as their field of specification. It was found out that majority of the respondents passed the Licensure examination. Moreover, the study showed that the respondents’ gender has no significant relationship to the personal accountability factors in terms of cognitive, emotional, and physical. It also revealed a no significant relationship to the fields of specialization among the respondents in terms of cognitive, emotional, and physical. This study concluded that the profile of the respondents and their personal accountability in terms of cognitive (GPA), emotional (Test anxiety), and physical (BMI) factors were statistically insignificant in predicting the probability of passing the LET. Consequently, the disparity and diversity of the personal accountability factors present an opportunity to improve the passing rate of the graduates since more and varied factors were surfaced and seen in a new light. This aspired administrators, deans, and teachers to take into account the other potential factors that may affect the board examination performance and enables the institution to predict and act upon the aspects that need to be improved in order to ensure a one hundred percent passing rate in the board examination.

Authors: - Kuma Debisa
Published: October 2023

Traditional cultural expression (TCE) is an artistic heritage that is developed and maintained by the community or by individuals reflecting the traditional artistic expectation of the community. Traditional Cultural expression is one of the indigenous/traditional knowledge systems, the protection of which as creativity has been debated for the last four decades and still remains an unsettled and challenging issue to date. With the advent of new technologies, this matter has come to the surface raising not only as a legal matter but also, as a political concern in the context of international organizations. This study tried to analyze the necessity of granting protection for indigenous knowledge/indigenous TCE.
The researcher tried to analyze data from various literature, WIPO, ARIPO, and OAPI. Moreover, the researcher tried to analyze international and domestic legal regimes whether they protect TCE or not. Protection of TCE has not reached an agreement at the international level and it is also highly neglected in Ethiopia. There is no clear law that protects TCE in Ethiopia. Even at the policy level, there is no clear policy document that aspires for the protection of the indigenous knowledge system.
For sustainable economic development, Ethiopia shall enact indigenous customary law or sui generis legal regime for the protection of indigenous artistic and cultural knowledge

Hindi Cinema Made in Northeast India: A Case Study of Three Directors
Authors: - Arnab Jan Deka
Published: October 2023

Mainstream Hindi cinema with pan-Indian presence has been stereotyping its regional identities by presentation of the lifestyle and cultural identities. India’s Northeast is also a victim of this ongoing phenomena in the hundred-year-old history of Indian Cinema. No mainstream major Indian filmmaker came forward to make any film on the backdrop of Northeast till recent years, with a remarkable exception like Mary Kom, made on the outstanding life of a global boxing icon hailing from this region. Kalpana Lajmi directed films like Ek Pal and Daman on the backdrop of Assam are in fact productions undertaken at the initiative of co-producer and iconic Assamese legend Dr Bhupen Hazarika. As opposed to this scenario, there had been few initiatives by film directors hailing from Northeast to highlight this region before the Hindi speaking mainstream Indian cinephiles through the production of original Hindi language films on the backdrop of this region. This study explores a selected few Hindi films directed by filmmakers from Northeast India like Dr Bhupen Hazarika, Jahnu Baruah and Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia to examine how this region, its people and culture have been presented and to what extent their films Mera Dharam Meri Maa, Apeksha and Kaalsandhya impacted mainstream Hindi audience in understanding and accepting the unique identity, lifestyle, culture and social norms of this region.

The Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Trust Attitude in the Indian Demographics
Authors: - (Aradhana Singh) , - (Astha Kumari) , - (Janhavi Thakre) , - (Kritika Agarwal) , - (Riya Shakchi)
Published: October 2023

The paper aims to figure out two crucial aspects of economic decision-making- willingness to take risks and willingness to trust others in Indian society and how these behaviours are transmitted from parents to children. It classifies the difference in the level of maternal and paternal effects on the children’s risk-taking capacity and trust attitude. For risk, we segregate it into 5 categories- General, driving, finance, educational/Career, and health-related risks. It is seen that the mother’s influence on children is significant in all types owing to the fact that the majority of married Indian women are homemakers and spend more time with children. The influence of fathers was found significant for driving, finance, and health-related risks. It was also found that in most cases, female children tend to be more risk-averse than their male counterparts. We also find that the transmission from parents to children is relatively specific for different risk types. The maternal effect is more prominent when it comes to the transmission of trust attitudes. There is independence between risk-taking behaviour and trust attitude. Both of these behaviours does not influence each other; rather the heterogeneity in these two aspects of economic decision-making lies greatly in the family structure.

Authors: - Dr Himangshu Kalita
Published: October 2023

The migration of people from one place to another has been going on since ancient times. It has happened in every look and corner of the world. The main reason behind such migration was the food search. The process is continuing all over the world. Migration in Assam is a burning issue that draws worldwide attention. The issue of migration has been discussed from different angles, like transnational, inter-state, inter-state, and so on. However, it has been observed that the issue of illegal transnational migration has stolen much attention comparatively. Though legal, inter-state migration is also an important concern as it has socio-cultural, political and economic significance. The density of the subject of inter-state migration can be felt in cities like Guwahati, Assam, especially in the informal sector. Migrants from outside the state border are basically visible in areas like, tiny trades, door-to-door vendors, low-income earning jobs, mechanics, carpenters, rickshaw pullers, daily wage labourers, etc. There always has an effect of such migrants which needs to be studied for the greater interest of the state. This paper attempts to make a very modest study of the street vendors of the city of Guwahati. It seems that most of the city street vendors are migrants and they have monopolized the informal sector in the city. During study it will be attempted to know their origin, causes of migration to Assam, and choosing the particular business. It is hoped that the study will be able to find out the consequences of such migration in depth and its adverse effects on the growing problem of joblessness and environmental degradation in the city.

Face Mask Image Classification Using Fine-Tuning and The Effect of FGSM And PGD Attacks.
Authors: - Kouassi Joshua Caleb Micah , - Lou Qiong
Published: October 2023

This research seeks to use a fine-tuning method for automatic diagnostics and classification of face masks without face mask images. We trained Deep Convolutional Neural Network models on the face mask dataset obtained from the Mendeley data repository to determine whether individuals will adhere to policies that face mask reduces the spread of SARS-COV-2. The proposed architectures used in this study include the VGG19, MobileNetV3, and InceptionV3 models. These models are known for their role in classifying images. They were trained using the fine-tuning approach and their respective outputs were compared. After training the face mask dataset, it can be said that the fine-tuned InceptionV3 model performed extremely well against the other models obtaining an accuracy of 99.21%, and was able to predict 99.63% of the test dataset. However, the robustness of the fine-tuned model was tested against fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and projected gradient descent (PGD) attacks which generate adversarial images using the gradients of the model. Additionally, the classification report shows after the FGSM attack that the model's accuracy was reduced by 43%. Also, after the PDG attack, the accuracy of the model was reduced by 19%. We assessed the models using many performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1 score, and accuracy before subjecting them to two common adversarial attack techniques: FGSM and PDG. Finally, we demonstrated how the proposed robust method improved the model’s defense against adversarial attacks. The findings emphasize the critical need to increase awareness about adversarial assaults on SARS-COV-2 monitoring systems and to advocate for proactive steps to protect healthcare systems from comparable threats prior to practical deployment.

Besides providing a map of the status of dying and dead languages of India, we assess the extent to which these lay groundwork for differentiating between existing and dying languages of India.

This research paper is structured as follows after giving an overview of the topic, later discussing the theory of westernization. It will also address the socio-economic cultural factors and the ground realities and challenges faced by the dying languages in India. We are trying to get the reality of how some languages gain popularity while others get marginalized. How is the language we speak related to our worldview? In this paper we have also discussed the Impact of colonization on Indian languages and the Causes of the Decline of Indian Languages, the List of Endangered and Dead languages of India, How we conserve a dying language, and what needs to be done And also regarding the Scheme for Protection and Preservation of Endangered Languages (SPPEL), Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), A Case study on the situation in Odisha.

ABSTRACT
The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme was introduced in 2005 under National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), 2005. On 2nd October’2009, NREGA has been renamed as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MGNREGA). MGNREGA provides 100 days of guaranteed employment opportunities in a financial year to any rural household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual work at the statutory minimum wage. It is an important step towards the realisation of the Right to Work. It is also expected to enhance People’s livelihoods on a sustainable basis by developing the economic and social infrastructure in rural areas. The MGNREGP is different from earlier wage employment programmes because of its legal and demand-driven framework. However, there is no denying fact that there have been many problems in infusing the system with the new culture of demand-driven, right-based and decentralized decision making. The present study was carried in Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh where the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme (MGNREGP) was initiated in second phase in the financial year 2007-08.

Male circumcision is a controversial topic that has sparked debates regarding its impact on sexual function, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. Several empirical studies conducted in West Africa, particularly in Ghana, have shed light on this issue. The objective of these studies was to examine the effects of male circumcision on various aspects of men's lives.
However, there are research gaps that need to be addressed to make the findings more robust. One such gap is the lack of long-term follow-up studies to assess the lasting effects of circumcision. Additionally, methodological weaknesses such as small sample sizes and self-reported data limit the generalizability of the findings.
To fill these gaps, future research should focus on larger sample sizes and employ more objective measures for assessing sexual function and psychological well-being. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of male circumcision.
In conclusion, while several empirical studies have been conducted in West Africa and Ghana specifically, further research is needed to strengthen our knowledge about how male circumcision impacts sexual function, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. It is crucial that we address these gaps to ensure evidence-based decision-making regarding this controversial practice.

The development of technology in Indonesia has progressed rapidly. Various sectors, including services, have been competing to enter the digital world. One of these sectors is payments. Traditional cash transactions are gradually being replaced by digital payment methods. This research aims to analyze the impact of digital payment innovation, integrated marketing communication, and service quality on user satisfaction with QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard).
This research employs the Diffusion of Innovation theory and utilizes a quantitative research method with purposive sampling techniques. The analysis method used is SMART PLS 4. The study involved the distribution of questionnaires to millennials residing in Rebo Village, resulting in 103 responses. The analytical methods include descriptive analysis, instrument testing, outer model testing, hypothesis testing, goodness of fit testing, R-square testing, path coefficients analysis, and F-test.
The research findings indicate that digital payment innovation and integrated marketing communication do not have a significant impact on user satisfaction with QRIS, while service quality significantly affects user satisfaction with QRIS.
This research can be valuable for users as it highlights the importance of factors such as digital payment innovation, marketing communication, and service quality, which have been empirically proven to influence user satisfaction.
Analytical Study of Zinc-Oxide Nanoparticles for Human Health
Authors: - Ramu Sharma
Published: October 2023

Pure nanoparticles for medical applications more than 400 enzymes and hormones and play a curious part in the health of our skin, teeth, bones, hair, nails, muscles, nerves and brain function have attracted much attention due to their enhanced biocompatibility and multifunctional, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral properties making them suitable for many applications such as prednisolone delivery systems and nanotherapy. Among Nanomaterials, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been extensively studied due to their unique physical and chemical properties. High surface-to-volume ratio together with small size, antibacterial activity, photocatalytic and semiconductor properties make ZnO NPs a new generation of anticancer agents in physiotherapy, reactors Nano bioreactors and bone stimulants for bone tissue regeneration. However, ZnO NPs have limited stability and can be used in biological environments. ZnO NPs also exhibit unpredictable cytotoxic effects. To overcome the above limitations and further expand the use of ZnO NPs in nanomedicine, doping seems to be a promising solution. This theoretical review reveals important achievements in using ZnO-doped nanoparticles for applications in nanomedicine. Sol-gel, hydrothermal and combustion methods are commonly used to fabricate rare-earth and transition metal-doped ZnO NPs. The theoretical results indicate that the doping of ZnO NPs is a valuable tool to improve their biomedical properties compared with undoped NPs, opening up new possibilities for ZnO NPs in nanomedicine.
