Enhancing Social Work Education: Integrating Social Entrepreneurship Training into the Curriculum
Authors: - Preeti Jha
Published: October 2024

Social enterprises and social entrepreneurs have garnered significant scholarly attention due to their potential for creating social, economic, and environmental impacts on communities. Despite their emergence, a disconnect exists between social work education and the training of social entrepreneurs. Social work education in India has evolved to address complex social issues such as poverty, inequality, and the welfare of marginalized communities, focusing on theoretical foundations and practical fieldwork. However, it often lacks emphasis on innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, and sustainable impact creation, which are crucial for social entrepreneurship. This paper argues that to bridge this gap, social work education must integrate social entrepreneurship principles into its curriculum. By offering courses and practical experiences that combine social work’s compassionate, community-focused approach with the dynamic, solution-oriented strategies of social entrepreneurship, social work education can better prepare future professionals to address current social issues and become leaders in creating sustainable social change.

Social Justice in Reservation - An Analysis
Authors: - S. PUSHPALATHA
Published: October 2024

Reservation is one of the mechanisms of protective discrimination for eradicating the present institutionalized effects of past discriminations, through positive governmental steps awarding preferential treatment in favour of certain weaker sections of the society. Reservation is applied only in graded societies, where certain groups enjoyed more powers and privileges, while the other sections have been wholly or partially neglected. It involves encouragement sharing in favour of certain weaker sections of the society. It involves encouragement sharing of opportunities in the executive, legislative bodies, in educational institutions and in public services. Demand by the unprivileged classes to enjoy the same opportunities of the privileged class resulted in social conflict in the earlier stages. In course of time, the unprivileged section came to enjoy social, political and economic and other privileges on par with others. As per the Constitution of India, it is a temporary phenomenon used for some special achievement. In course of time, the unprivileged section came to enjoy social, political and economic and other privileges. Thus, everybody in the beneficiary categories Viz., Other Backward Classes in all India level, Backward Classes and Most Backward Classes in Tamil Nadu, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes did not enjoy the same status in the society. Due to the reservation policy, there are tremendous transformations in the social structure. It is evident that, there are noteworthy rich people among the backward and depressed castes. Similarly there are poor people in the forward castes as well. Not only that as per the Constitution of India, it is a temporary phenomenon used for some special achievement. In this research paper, an attempt has been made to examine and compare the concepts of exclusive reservation and creamy layer and to study the changing trends in the reservation policy towards social justice.

Authors: - Dr. K. SURESH
Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Language is a powerful tool and means of communication and to communicate with others we also use other ways such as Body manners, gestures, signals and facial expressions which is also called as a non-verbal communication. English is a tool, like basic arithmetic, or literacy, or computer skills. An ability they need to master in order to function effectively in today’s world. The L1 remains the learners primary language and the only they identify with what teachers aiming for is functional English-knowing bilingualism.
Socio-political status:
With the European trade patterns, most of the known European-based Creole languages were existed in the coastal regions of the Americas, Western Africa, Goa and along with the west coast of India. Indian Ocean Creole languages are based on European languages with elements from Malagasy and possibly other Asian languages.
Learning Language Through Culture:
Learning other language is to understand the nature of the relationship between language and culture, learners need to engage with the ways in which context affects what is communicated and how.
Standard English is the variety of English that is generally acknowledged as the model for the speech and writing of educated speakers in UK. It is also associated with Received Pronunciation or accent.
Intuitive acquisition: We learn anther language the same way as we learnt our first language or mother tongue. Intuitive acquisition through lots of exposure to the language in authentic communicative situations.
Habit-formation: Language is a set of habits: we mimic and memorize and drill the patterns of the language until we learn to produce the correct forms automatically.
Cognitive Process: Language involves the understanding of underlying rules: if we master these rules, we will be able to apply them in different contexts. That may be at school, home, with community or with others.
Skill-learning: Language is a skill. We learn it in school just as we learn other skills: someone explains rules or words to us, we understand and practice them until we master them and use them fluently and skillfully.

Authors: - Halil Kagan Fidan , - Halil Efe Balci
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Every stage of education is valuable, but high school is the most critical period for career choice before university. This is because the university life, which is the basis for career selection, begins after high school. The aim of this study is to evaluate the medical knowledge and awareness of high school students, focusing on ENT (ear, nose, and throat) diseases, across different grades and fields.
Material and Methods: A survey form consisting of two sections was used as the data collection tool in the research. The first section contains a demographic information form, and the second section consists of 7 multiple-choice questions. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the averages of correct answers and total scores according to gender, grades, and fields. The ANOVA test was used to compare results based on age groups.
Results: Of the 54 students who participated in the study, 28 (51.9%) were female, and 26 (48.1%) were male. Of the participating students, 30 were from the Science-Technology (ST) department, and 24 were from the Anatolian High School (AL) department. After excluding 2 students who had previously participated in ENT disease-related training (both from the ST group), the percentage of students who answered the general ENT questions incorrectly was 6/24 (25.0%) in the AL group and 1/28 (3.6%) in the ST group. The number of students who requested additional health-related topics in the biology curriculum was 19/24 (79.2%) in the AL group and 27/28 (96.4%) in the ST group.
Conclusion: It was found that due to the science (biology) intensity of their education, the ST group had higher health knowledge specifically related to ENT diseases compared to the AL group, and the difference between the two groups was significant (p < 0.001). Despite the higher level of correct responses and knowledge in the ST group, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in their demand for more biology lessons (p < 0.001).
Discussion: Providing more biology lessons in high school would be beneficial both for career choices and for improving health literacy.

Published: October 2024

This study investigates the ethnobotanical significance, phytochemical composition, and antioxidant potential of the aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula fruit, collected from the coal-affected forests of Bokaro District, Jharkhand. Using DPPH and NBT assays, the antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated at various concentrations (50, 100, 250, and 500 µg/mL). The DPPH assay revealed a dose-dependent increase in radical scavenging activity, with Terminalia chebula achieving 82.3% inhibition at 500 µg/mL. In comparison, ascorbic acid, a standard antioxidant, exhibited higher inhibition rates, reaching 95.0% at the same concentration. Similarly, the NBT assay demonstrated that the extract inhibited superoxide radicals, with 78.9% inhibition at 500 µg/mL, while ascorbic acid achieved 94.4% inhibition. The phytochemical analysis indicates a rich composition of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins in the extract, which are likely responsible for its antioxidant properties. These findings support the traditional medicinal uses of Terminalia chebula, particularly in managing oxidative stress-related conditions. Overall, the study highlights the significant antioxidant potential of Terminalia chebula fruit extract, suggesting its possible applications in functional foods and natural health products. Future research should focus on isolating specific bioactive compounds and exploring their synergistic effects to fully understand the therapeutic potential of this valuable ethnobotanical resource.

The present study is an attempt to understand the educational backwardness of scheduled tribes of district Poonch of Jammu and Kashmir. The Scheduled Tribes (ST’s) are the socially and educationally deprived people in India. Scheduled Tribes have specific histories of social and monetary deprivation and the underlying reasons in their educational marginalization are also strikingly awesome. Schooling forms a crucial factor inside the average improvement of people, enabling them to get extra awareness, higher comprehension in their social, political and cultural surroundings and additionally facilitating inside the development of their socio-monetary conditions. The time period “tribe” was earlier used for a network which constituted a homogenous institution that lived in overall isolation having a particularly self-sustaining economic system independent political setup and which maintained wonderful customs, religions practices inherited from one common place ancestor. The scheduled tribes are the oldest settlers, if no longer the primary in India and India has the second one biggest concentration of the tribes inside internationally. Scheduled tribe population constitutes 8.6% of the entire population in India. Jammu and Kashmir has many tribal communities having their own traditions, cultures and customs. Scheduled Tribe groups have traditionally lived in remote and some difficult terrains in the direction of forests and natural assets. Most of the tribes live in inaccessible areas.
