The Role of Instruction, Rate and Route in Second Language Acquisition
Authors: Novasyari Ressy
Published: August 2024

In this globalization era, English has become a big issue around the English Foreign Learners (EFL). Many people need to use English as tool to communicate with other people from the world as it is considered that English is an international language. Language is the method of expressing ideas and emotions in the form of signs and symbols. These signs and symbols are used to encode and decode the information. There are many languages spoken in the world. The first language learned by a baby is his or her mother tongue. It is the language, which he or she listens to from his or her birth. Any other language learned or acquired is known as the second language. This paper discusses three aspects in second language acquisition. The first is instruction, the second is rate, and the third is route.

Authors: Monteiro Naira Pereira da Silva do Rêgo , Monteiro Nádia Pereira da Silva do Rêgo , Monteiro Fernando José do Rêgo
Published: August 2024

Introdução: A síndrome do intestino irritável (SII) é uma condição gastrointestinal crônica caracterizada por dor abdominal e alterações nas fezes, afetando significativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A SII é associada a uma fisiopatologia complexa, incluindo alterações no microbioma intestinal, hipersensibilidade visceral e desregulação do eixo cérebro-intestino. Embora o tratamento da SII inclua abordagens diversas, os antidepressivos tricíclicos (ATCs) e os inibidores seletivos da recaptação de serotonina (ISRSs) têm sido utilizados para aliviar a dor abdominal e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Revisar o papel dos ATCs e ISRSs no tratamento da SII, destacando seus efeitos sobre a dor abdominal e outros sintomas relacionados. Metodologia: Foi conduzida uma revisão narrativa de literatura através das bases de dados SCIELO, LILACS e PUBMED, com artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos. A seleção considerou a relevância dos artigos para o uso de antidepressivos na SII, resultando na análise de 18 estudos. Resultados e Discussão: Na SII, os antidepressivos, especialmente ATCs e ISRSs, têm sido utilizados para tratar tanto a dor abdominal quanto os sintomas psicológicos associados. ATCs, como a amitriptilina, são eficazes na redução da dor abdominal e recomendados para a SII com diarreia (SII-D), apesar dos efeitos colaterais, como constipação e boca seca. Os ISRSs são úteis para a SII com constipação e no manejo da ansiedade, apresentando um perfil de efeitos adversos mais tolerável, embora com menor eficácia em comparação com ATCs. Conclusão: Antidepressivos desempenham um papel importante no tratamento da SII. ATCs são eficazes para dor abdominal, mas têm efeitos colaterais significativos. ISRSs são úteis na gestão da ansiedade e dos sintomas gerais com menos efeitos adversos. A escolha do antidepressivo deve ser personalizada, considerando os sintomas predominantes e os perfis de efeitos colaterais para otimizar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com SII.

4. First Ministers Jan Smuts and Cabinet Government in the Early Union of South Africa
Authors: Ndzendze Bhaso
Published: August 2024

For a figure who generates such widespread interest, and about whom so much has been written, Jan Smuts's assumption of multiple cabinet portfolios has been the subject of very little scholarly attention. Both biographers and historians tend to simply mention his portfolios, with scant analysis as to the precedent and utility of his assumption of more than one ministerial portfolio in Louis Botha’s cabinet, as well as portfolios in his own future cabinets (Native Affairs between 1919 and 1924, and then Defence and External Affairs from 1939 when he was Prime Minister once more). Yet it was an extraordinary undertaking, sustained over decades of his cabinet involvement, having been virtually without precedent and destined to prove influential to future administrations.

Initial public offering of shares as a tool for attracting financial resources by the company
Authors: Anzin Roman
Published: August 2024

The study aimed to determine the fundamentals of entering the stock market and the process of initial placement of shares of Ukrainian companies on such exchanges. The entry of companies to the capital market is a stage of expansion of production capacities, improvement of the company's management system, the opening of new markets, the possibility of increasing investments in innovative activities, etc. The transition of national economies to an open global economy has led to the need for additional investment attraction not only within the country of the base of such a company but also on international capital markets. The most common option for obtaining additional financial capital is the initial issue (IPO) and the sale of company shares. The company is being transformed into a public or private joint-stock company. Ukrainian legislation has formed the relevant legal field within which the process of issuing and placing company shares takes place - the Law of Ukraine "On Securities and the Stock Market," "On Capital Markets and Organized Commodity Markets," etc.; The decision of the State Securities and Stock Market Commission - "Procedure for transferring bearer shares issued by the issuer in documentary form into registered shares. "Regarding the foreign practice of regulating the IPO process, we note that each country has its requirements, but in most cases, they are similar in content. The process of placement of securities on the open market is accompanied by sufficiently large risks, which become the critical factor that forces Ukrainian companies to refuse placement on international stock markets. The IPO process includes the following stages: preliminary, preparatory, primary, and post-placement. Underwriting allows you to minimize IPO risks. An investment bank that helps a company list on the stock exchange assumes certain obligations regarding this placement and guarantees the issuer its redemption for further sale among investors.
Keywords: investment, securities, shares, IPO, risks, company.

Authors: Ben-Yahia Moad , Lamzira Fatima Zahra
Published: August 2024

With communication being the backbone of language classes, the interactions learners have with each other and with their teachers play a chief role in the teaching-learning process in EFL classes. Accordingly, teachers and researchers are in constant search for various innovative ways in which they can increase the frequency and quality of learners’ classroom participation. Evidently, this is not an easy task, but using nonviolent communication (NVC) – an approach to communication that promotes mindfulness, empathy, mutual understanding and respect – seems to have a lot to offer in this respect. The use of NVC has led to positive effects in an array of domains. However, little is investigated with regard to its effects on classroom participation. Against this background, the aim of this study was to explore the effects of the teachers’ employment of NVC on learners’ classroom participation in EFL classes. An experimental design with systematic observation was implemented for the study, where the participants’ classroom participation was systematically observed and reported using a standardized observation protocol. The results indicated that the use of NVC in communicating with learners positively affects their classroom participation frequency.

A Theoretical Exposition to Geo-criticism: Mapping the Philosophical Trajectory of Spatial Studies
Authors: - Adeela Velapurath Nazeer , - Sumathi R
Published: August 2024

Time and Space are the two cardinal aspects that determine the narrative, character development, and thematic elements of a story. Space in fiction refers to the way authors use physical, symbolic, or metaphorical spaces to shape the narrative, amplify characters, and convey multitudes of themes. It encompasses various aspects of setting and environment, including how space is described, its significance within the plot, and its impact on the overall narrative. As a generic narrative tool, space serves as an altar in fictional contexts - both real and imaginary, original and fictionalised – affixing intensity, depth, richness, details and emotion to the narrative, defining and redefining atmosphere, meticulously describing settings, scrupulously establishing environments that could shift the readers into an engaging and engrossing landscape. Spatial studies in literature or rather ‘the spatial turn’ gained prominence in the latter half of the 20th century that marked a shift in academic and critical approaches to literary analysis, emphasizing the importance of space and spatial relationships within literary texts. The current paper traces the theoretical trajectory of how spatial studies and literary cartography have gained momentum in the milieu of literary investigation and how space/place has become topical as a critical category much like power, culture, gender, class and race. It also lays out the basic tenets of geo-criticism, a multi-dimensional emerging field in fictional studies that focuses on how a space/locale/environment/region narrated and recreated in the reader’s imagination becomes phenomenal.

Authors: - A. Arockia Aravind Arul , - Dr. R. Annam
Published: August 2024

Tragic flaw is one of the ornamental figures of speech that propounds a character’s demise in the plot. Cognitive Poetics is a literary theory that allow readers to interpret a text at his/her own cognitive level. By applying the theory of Cognitive Poetics this article intends to bring out the hubris of Natashya more over on a reader’s perspective with his own linguistic and psychological domain. Also, the fall of Natashya is the outcome of her hamartia. Her defective characteristics like the thirst for fame and material pleasure eventually force her to travel on the path of crisis, which ends her life tragically. Moreover, this research excavates the reasons for the error of her judgement which eventually forces Richard to assassinate her own mother. Natashya’s egoistic clash with her husband and unreal love for her son Richard make the plot more complex and tragic. Her desire to become an independent woman in a male-sophisticated society placed her in a spot of bother. Finally, this article concludes that the fall of Natashya Romanov is an outcome of her headstrong pride and her search for carnal pleasure.

Authors: - Shashi Bhushan Singh , - Dr. Arjun Singh
Published: August 2024

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder affecting millions worldwide, with significant health and economic implications. Early prediction and personalized management are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. This study presents a novel approach leveraging deep learning techniques and multi-modal data analysis for the early prediction and personalized management of T2DM. We developed a deep learning model that integrates diverse data types, including electronic health records, genetic information, lifestyle data, and continuous glucose monitoring. The model was trained on a large dataset of 50,000 patients, including both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, with a 5-year follow-up period. Our results demonstrate that the deep learning model achieves a sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 92% in predicting T2DM onset up to 3 years before clinical diagnosis, outperforming traditional risk assessment tools. Furthermore, the model generates personalized management plans, including tailored lifestyle recommendations and medication schedules, which led to a 25% improvement in glycemic control compared to standard care in a randomized controlled trial of 1,000 patients. This study highlights the potential of AI-driven, multi-modal approaches in revolutionizing diabetes care. By enabling earlier interventions and more personalized management strategies, this approach could significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of T2DM on healthcare systems. Future work will focus on external validation, long-term follow-up studies, and integration into clinical workflows.
Feminine Echoes of Nature: an Ecofeminist Lens on Arundhati Roy's Novels
Authors: - Pandurang J. Rupnar , - Daryaba K. Imade
Published: August 2024

This research study delves into the ecofeminist themes present in two pivotal novels by Arundhati Roy: The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. Examining the intricate interplay between gender oppression and environmental degradation, the study employs a comparative analysis to unravel the nuanced connections within Roy's narrative tapestry. The God of Small Things sets the stage with its exploration of the Meenachal River's decline as a metaphor for the erosion of societal values and women's agency. Through a non-linear narrative, Roy weaves a tale of forbidden love and caste dynamics against the backdrop of Kerala, India, illuminating the broader implications for both women and nature. Transitioning to The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, the research broadens its scope, encompassing political turmoil and ecological concerns. Roy expands her thematic canvas, introducing characters grappling with displacement and environmental degradation. This novel's narrative complexity mirrors the intricate relationships between diverse characters and their connection to the changing landscape.
A Study on Risk Factors on Recidivism among Juveniles with Special Reference to Tamil Nadu
Authors: - V.Nidhi , - M. Dhevan Chakaravarthi , - M.D. Dheerajkumar
Published: August 2024

Juvenile recidivism has changed over time to reflect shifting perspectives on juvenile crime and delinquency. Juveniles were frequently treated the same as adult offenders in the early 19th century and subjected to similar harsh punishments. To provide rehabilitation rather than punishment, juvenile courts were created in the late 19th century as a result of a greater understanding of teenage development. The major objective of the study is to identify the risk factors that contribute to the reoffending behavior of juveniles in the region. The researcher has adopted an empirical research method. The sample frame is in and around Chennai and sample size is 200.The findings suggest that efforts should be made to educate both the young and old about the problem of juvenile recidivism in order to raise society's awareness of this issue. Males and girls view peer pressure and poverty differently as causes of adolescent recidivism, demonstrating the need for a more thorough investigation into the issue. Initiatives promoting community service are seen as an effective strategy for lowering juvenile recidivism, particularly among respondents who were either undergraduates or employed in the private sector or as independent contractors. The study also emphasizes the necessity for solutions to the issue of adolescent recidivism that take gender into consideration. Overall, the results indicate that decreasing recidivism is regarded as a success for youth correctional services particularly by younger respondents. Hence, restorative justice initiatives place a focus on mending wrongs and attending to victims' needs while also making young people accountable for their deeds and care community ensure that young people continue to receive assistance and resources after leaving the legal system can help keep them from reoffending.
A Study on Opportunities and Challenges of Startups in India
Authors: - Dr. Sanjay Arora
Published: August 2024

India is the world's second-most populous country, home to billions of people .In order to accommodate this enormous population, massive job marketplaces have been boosted. These days, people's views have shifted to the point where they are hesitant to take risks in life, which prevents them from working for companies that are developing novel ideas.

Many creative young people chose to pursue entrepreneurship as their career path rather than joining government agencies or multinational corporations. The jobbers had the opportunity to raise their own and their families' standards of living, but entrepreneurs will raise both the family and national economies. With the introduction of the ambitious "startup India and standup India" program on January 16 at the Vignan Bhavan auditorium in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi seemed to be moving the country closer to becoming the next great start-up nation. The goal of this was to accelerate and transform India's startup revolution.
This study looks at the environment for new businesses in India, emphasizing the potential and difficulties these businesses face. India's growing economy and friendly policies have made the country an ideal place for entrepreneurs to innovate and expand. But getting money, negotiating regulatory obstacles, and competing in a changing industry are tough. The success and sustainability of startups in India are examined in this paper using empirical analysis and case studies. In order to promote a healthy startup environment, legislators, investors, and entrepreneurs must all have a thorough understanding of these dynamics.
A Study on the Importance of Value Based Education to Modern Needs in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: - Vartika Saxena , - Shalini Nigam , - D.K.Banwet
Published: August 2024

According to Gandhiji (1937), “Education is a means to draw out the best from the child and the man, physically, intellectually and spiritually”. However, in today's education system, the primary emphasis is placed on the imparting of knowledge and the development of practical skills, rather than the instillation of values. The contemporary socio-economic phenomena of Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization have given rise to a worldwide community in which traditional values have been disregarded. This is indicative of a growing absence of moral values. Since there is no universally applicable value system for all societies, a proper combination of traditional and contemporary values may be the solution. The paramount requirement at present is to overhaul the educational system in order to foster the fundamental principles of humanism, democracy, socialism, and secularism. Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) have the potential to play a crucial role in instilling the fundamental principles and beliefs that contribute to the progress and growth of a nation. It is imperative for teachers, educators, educational workers, and administrators to make concerted efforts to foster value-oriented education inside educational institutions.

Authors: - Priya Kumari , - Smita jain
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the prevalence of major diseases affecting Kinnow (Citrus nobilis x Citrus deliciosa) orchards in the Sri Ganganagar area of India. Field surveys were conducted across six sampling sites, examining 50 Kinnow plants at each location for four primary diseases: Gummosis, Huanglongbing
(HLB), Citrus Canker, and Black Fly infestation. The research employed a stratified random sampling method and utilized standard disease assessment protocols. Results revealed varying disease prevalence across the sampling sites. Citrus Canker emerged as the most prevalent disease, with incidence ranging from 10% to 22%. Gummosis showed a prevalence of 2% to 10%, while Huanglongbing and Black Fly infestations were observed at lower levels (2-6% and 2-4% respectively). The study found that disease prevalence varied significantly among different locations, likely due to differences in environmental
conditions and orchard management practices. The paper discusses the potential economic impact of these diseases on Kinnow cultivation and provides recommendations for integrated pest management strategies. These include implementing windbreaks, improving soil drainage, aggressive vector control for HLB, and maintaining strict orchard hygiene. The findings underscore the importance of tailored disease management approaches and the need for ongoing monitoring and research to ensure the sustainable production of Kinnow in the region.

Authors: - Eva Thakur
Published: August 2024

This study seeks to probe the applicability and pertinence of Kaldor's First Law
within the Indian economy, particularly examining the long-run relationship between the manufacturing sector's output and overall economic growth. Kaldor's proposition, which identifies manufacturing as the primary engine of economic growth, is central to understanding the potential trajectory of developing economies. However, this law is not without its criticisms, such as inquiries into the direction of causality and its universal relevance amidst diverse economic structures and the rise of service-oriented growth patterns. Despite criticisms, the Indian context presumes specific significance considering the nation's strategic push to invigorate its manufacturing base as evidenced by policy initiatives like ‘Make in India’. With a notable shift towards services and the emergence of a knowledge economy, evaluating the role of manufacturing in propelling economic growth is critical. Utilizing time-series data and employing an Autoregressive Distributed Lag modeling approach, this paper assesses the long-term co-integrating relationship between manufacturing output and GDP growth in India. Testing such a hypothesis is instrumental in informing policy directions to leverage manufacturing as a medium for sustained economic advancement and addressing the nuances of the contemporary Indian economic landscape. Findings from this study could elucidate the extent to which Kaldor's First Law holds within a rapidly transforming and globally significant economy, bearing implications for both economic theory and practical policy formulation

O Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (Pisa) tem propiciado insights importantes sobre o desempenho dos estudantes no campo de conhecimento da Matemática na América Latina nas edições já realizadas, de 2000 até 2022. Infelizmente, os resultados alcançados revelam uma lacuna significativa entre os países latino-americanos e os países membros da OCDE que participam da avaliação. Diante disso, este artigo tem como objetivo geral analisar os resultados na área de Matemática no Pisa nos países da América Latina nas edições de 2000-2022. Como metodologia, utilizamos a pesquisa exploratória com ênfase nos documentos oficiais divulgados pelo Pisa e disponibilizados pela OCDE. Os principais resultados revelam que os países da América Latina - Brasil, Argentina, Chile, Colômbia, México, Peru e Uruguai, apresentam médias inferiores aos países que participam da avaliação, variando entre 334 e 456 pontos no decorrer das edições realizadas. Indicam, ainda, que os países latino-americanos têm conquistado posições inferiores e crescido de forma amena, demonstrando que os estudantes possuem habilidades básicas em Matemática apenas o bastante para entender resultados e resolver questões simples que estão relacionadas ao contexto, sem aprofundamento significativo. A análise contínua desses resultados é crucial para fortalecer políticas educacionais mais eficazes e promover a equidade no acesso a uma Educação Matemática de qualidade na América Latina.
