Authors: - Norfaidah Osop Mangotara
Published: June 2024

This research examines the understanding level of the 4Ps beneficiaries in Marawi City regarding the Family Development Sessions provided by their assigned city links since joining the program, along with the impact and challenges they face. Structured questionnaires and focused group discussions were carried out with 45 participants. The analysis revealed that the participants' comprehension of the FDS modules was limited, with only certain topics like "Food and Nutrition" and those related to the Marawi Siege and COVID-19 Pandemic being well understood and practiced by the beneficiaries. Challenges mainly revolved around venue issues and social commitments. While the FDS had a positive impact on the respondents, some struggled to implement their learnings due to conflicting beliefs, and the community empowerment aspect fell short. Based on the study's results, the researcher recommends the following actions: 1. Ensure beneficiaries understand topics by evaluating comprehension after each session. 2. Conduct periodic evaluations to assess knowledge retention. 3. Establish fixed FDS dates to avoid communication issues. 4. Secure spacious venues for sessions in coordination with barangay officials. 5. Continuously remind beneficiaries of the importance of FDS attendance. 6. Hold monthly FDS for all parent groups. 7. Tailor activities to suit all beneficiaries' capacities. 8. Encourage questions and feedback during sessions. 9. Stress the importance of communication for parent leaders. 10.

Authors: - Monika Rani , - Dr. Narendra Kumar
Published: June 2024

The Jaunsari, Tharu, Raji, Buksa, and Bhotiya tribes are the five primary groups that make up Uttarakhand's tribe population. The Jaunsari tribe is the largest tribal group in the state in terms of numbers. The ethnic groups living in the state of Uttarakhand are represented by the tribes. In all of Uttarakhand's districts, the proportion of tribal people is roughly moderate. The majority of tribal people in the state of Uttarakhand live in rural areas. According to available data, approximately 94.50% of all tribal members live in rural areas, with the remaining portion residing in urban areas. It is stated that about five tribes call Uttarakhand officially home. The Indian Constitution has designated a schedule for these tribes from Uttarakhand. According to historical accounts, the earliest people to settle in this part of North India were the tribes of Uttarakhand. Their primary populations used to be restricted to isolated, steep, and wooded regions. The ancient customs of the tribes in Uttarakhand have not changed. They stand for the unique way of life and characteristics of a prehistoric society. Their ethnicity is determined by their sociocultural practices and traditional customs. Up to five tribes that are officially located in Uttarakhand are listed as scheduled in the Indian Constitution, which was drafted more than 40 years ago, in 1967.
From Partition To Abrogation: Tracing the History of Article 370
Authors: - Simran Matlani
Published: June 2024

Kashmir isn’t “just another city” or just another place that exists on earth. It is a place described by the famous poet Amir Khusrau in the following words, “Gar Firdaus Bar Ruhe Zamin ast, Hamin asto, Hamin asto, Hamin ast….” Which when translated, means, “if there is Paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here…..” The place was once compared to the paradise .The region had been choice of many British officials for their holidays in the British raj period and it remained a frequent location for film shootings by many directors in the 80s and 90s. However, apart from being a great tourist attraction with amazing scenic valley, it also holds a long and painful history of political instability during the latter half of 20th century. The troubles began for Kashmir since the partition of India was proposed and it took a long line of governments and thousands of lives in pursue of the solution to its troubles. This article is an analysis to understand and highlight all the turbulence that valley of Kashmir went through from partition to present day. We will see phase to phase developments that took place in Kashmir from the time of partition to formation of Article 370 and its abrogation along with its impact on the nation in general and the state in particular.
Wretched Lives in a Westernised African Country: the Obstacles Towards Development of Communities in Botswana
Authors: - Dama Mosweunyane
Published: June 2024

This paper is necessitated to advance the narrative that due to westernisation of the economy of Botswana, which is an African country that is glorified for its economic success, rural development has been grossly compromised. The infiltration of westernisation has led to the undermining and removal of economic activities that were pivotal for the development of rural communities. Due to westernisation the economic, political and social performance of rural communities were taken as not germane for western development and consequently discarded by the newly independent government. The paper promulgates the view that communities in Botswana through rural development could improve their living conditions economically, politically, technologically and socially, but are submerged in poverty because of the strong believe that indigenous knowledge was an impediment to economic, political, technological and social progress. The imperialist forces have persistently and aggressively presented western knowledge as a panacea for rural development despite its inappropriateness in some cases.
The rural areas that cherished indigenous knowledge systems that were tested and utilised over a period of time, allowed the communities the opportunities to perfect them and pass them from generation to generation. The westernisation process has denied the rural communities in Botswana to promote the advancement of what sustained them before they got colonised and Christened. The discarding of traditional schools for instances, incapacitated the rural communities, as they lost the system that enhanced skills transfer, promoted industriousness and self-efficacy amongst the recipients.
The importation of western religions detached the rural areas in Botswana from the traditional values that were inculcated on young adults from generation to generation. The traditional leaders got disempowered, leading to their non-participation on matters of community importance, such as land distribution and control of other valuable resources such as the rapacious annexation of livestock from rural communities by urban livestock rustlers.
The paper takes particular interest in the role the traditional leaders used to play in fighting poverty amongst the communities through protecting resources from unbridled greed by politicians and foreigners. The invasion of communities through the enforcement of inherited western laws disempowered traditional leaders by placing them under full control of politicians and foreign corporations. The independence of Botswana meant the replacing of colonisers with western trained leaders, who invidiously upheld western values, with the deliberate effort to transform communities into becoming Eurocentric.
Computational Exploration and Molecular Docking Analysis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis RpfB Protein
Authors: - HARSHITA SETH , - AJIJUR REHMAN
Published: June 2024

The RpfB protein, a vital component of bacterial cell wall metabolism, is particularly significant in the context of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. Within this pathogen, RpfB plays a pivotal role in cell growth, division, and virulence, contributing to the survival and persistence of M. tuberculosis within the host. As a member of the Resuscitation-Promoting Factor (Rpf) family, RpfB is crucial for reactivating dormant cells, a process essential for M. tuberculosis to establish latent infections and evade host immune responses. Through its enzymatic activity, RpfB facilitates peptidoglycan remodeling and cell wall synthesis in M. tuberculosis, influencing bacterial physiology and pathogenicity. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which RpfB operates in M. tuberculosis not only enhances our understanding of bacterial persistence but also unveils potential targets for novel antimicrobial interventions against tuberculosis, a global health threat of immense significance. The vulnerability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to various drugs and its persistence has stood as a hurdle in the race against eradication of the pathogenicity of the bacteria. Identification of novel antituberculosis compounds is highly demanding as the available drugs are resistant. The ability of the bacteria to surpass the body's defenses and adapt itself to survive for disease reactivation is contributed by secreted proteins called resuscitating promoting factors (Rpfs). These factors aid in virulence and resuscitation from dormancy of the bacteria. Sequence analysis of RpfB was performed and compounds were first screened for toxicity and high-throughput virtual screening eliminating the toxic compounds. To understand the mechanism of ligand binding and interaction, molecular docking was performed for the compounds passing through the filter resulting with better docking studies predicting the possible binding mode of the inhibitors to the protein.

In addition, depending on the different requirement which is partially processed the data. Then the gathered data is stored at the ledger unit through the smart cities based on the fog computing and big data technology. The hashing identity-based data encryption is a public key encryption which uses a digital signature to encrypt the data to prevent the information from the third party.
The Effect of Anxiety and Depression on Academic Performance of the Students
Authors: - Laxmi Rani , - Cyma Anjum
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore how social support is related to the overall well-being of college students. Literature suggests social support buffers a negative effect of distress on academic performance. A multiple linear regression was conducted to examine the association between anxiety, depression, social support, and academic performance. Some findings were not congruent with the literature. Although social support had a significant moderating effect, it did not necessarily buffer the negative influence of depression on academic performance. Surprisingly, among the group who reported having low social support, depression had a positive relationship with academic performance. After eliminating an insignificant moderating effect of social support on the relationship between anxiety and academic performance, the total effect of anxiety on academic performance was not significant. The implication of the findings is not to disregard mental health issues; rather, it is possible that these students are more difficult to reach due to less visible symptoms and/or succeeding academically.

Authors: - Debarshi Bhattacharya
Published: June 2024

The tea industry in India is one of the most important agro-based industries in terms of generating local employment and earning foreign exchange. The state of West Bengal (WB) contributes the majority of tea produced in India. The Doors region, which is located in the Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar districts of WB, is home to several tea estates where the majority of tea is grown, produced, and processed. The terrain of Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar, which are located at foothills of the Eastern Himalaya, is dotted with hundreds of verdant green tea gardens and several meandering rivers. The tea gardens are located throughout these two districts and employ a sizable portion of the local population, who are mostly from rural areas and heavily represented in the SC and ST communities. There is a total of 64 tea gardens in the Alipurduar District and 120 tea gardens in the Jalpaiguri District. However, a serious humanitarian catastrophe and several other serious crises still exist behind the scenes in the production of this well-known beverage. Over the past few decades, owing to various socio-economic factors, many tea gardens in Dooars region have been abandoned or shut down. Due to their usual sources of income being lost, the tea garden workers are now at great risk of starvation and malnutrition, putting them in a state of dire socioeconomic calamity. There are hardly any alternative employment opportunities for the jobless tea workers in and around the locality except irregular jobs such as stone crushing, tree leaves collection, daily labour in urban and semi-urban localities etc. As reported, workers are now feeling unconfident regarding their livelihood security in the tea gardens of Dooars. Due to the catastrophic consequences, a considerable segment of the tea garden labour force is presently relocating to other states to sustain their livelihoods. A thorough field study was conducted to evaluate the socioeconomic conditions of the tea garden workers in Dooars and to pinpoint their current livelihood crisis. It also aimed to identify the various factors those were responsible for their current lack of livelihood security, as well as the primary factors that drove their tendency to migrate away from the Dooars tea gardens where they were employed for generations. It was also recommended that in order to maintain the Dooars tea industry in West Bengal, necessary corrective action be taken to eliminate the livelihood migration propensity of the tea garden workers in the region and to enhance their socioeconomic conditions.

Authors: - Thangapriya , - Nancy Jasmine Goldena
Published: June 2024

Human Action Recognition (HAR) is a vital part of the healthcare sector. Medical practitioners are experiencing difficulty in recognizing human physiological conditions due to the enormous quantity of sensory stimulation. Machine learning techniques help to predict human physiological conditions, providing medical practitioners to work more efficiently. Feature selection is an essential part of discovering new knowledge in the majority of real-world problems when there are a lot of features. Feature selection is extremely useful because it speeds up decisions and enhances classification performance. The importance of feature selection in machine learning is dimension reduction in a massive multivariate data collection. This paper presents an effective feature selection method known as the Enhanced Recursive Feature Elimination (EFRE) for selecting key features from the data set for HAR prediction. The experimental results reveal that the ERFE technique selects the most suitable features for HAR prediction. The performance of the proposed ERFE approach is tested using different performance evaluation metrics. The performance analysis shows that the ERFE method outperforms existing feature selection methods with 88% accuracy.

12 Conversational Archetypes for Human-AI Interaction
Authors: - Shridhar Marri
Published: June 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI), once exclusive to sophisticated technological spheres, now plays a transformative role across all aspects of society, driving significant progress and innovation. In this backdrop, basic conversational interface aka chat emerged as the easiest, and the simplest way to interact with AI systems. However, the current Human-AI conversations are fraught with a host of challenges necessitating a critical exploration into their design, approach, and implications. As AI technologies continue to permeate our lives, the need for seamless, intuitive, and human-like conversations is amplified. While our larger research embarks on a research study to suggest a conceptual framework to help design more effective and engaging Human-AI conversations, this paper focuses on a critical aspect that surfaced as a primary gap during our literature review. Conversations are effective and engaging only when their fundamental purpose is identified and understood by their participants. Hence, formulating a purpose driven conversational typology emerged as a key design imperative to inform an array of frameworks that could help create meaningful Human-AI conversations. This study evaluates a dataset of over hundred Human-AI and Human-to-Human conversations, proposing twelve conversational archetypes central to a conceptual framework intended to enhance Human-AI conversations. Employing a hybrid methodology that integrates content analysis with case study research, this paper examines the issue from a human perspective. It aims to provide a useful resource for designers, developers, researchers, and industry professionals who seek to foster deeper connections and trust in human-AI interactions.

Published: June 2024

Despite the global emphasis on literacy, the Philippines continues to lag in reading proficiency, as evidenced by international assessments. A new program, "Catch-Up Fridays," has been introduced by the Department of Education, providing dedicated time for students to focus on improving their reading skills and addressing gaps in comprehension. This research aims to identify specific areas needing intervention to improve students' reading skills and to enhance their critical 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication.
Specifically, this study investigated the reading comprehension levels and skills of Grade 8 students at Baguio City National Science High School, focusing on the impacts of gender and the use of English as a primary language at home. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, the study assessed 150 students using a questionnaire adapted from the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI). Results indicate that most of the students are at the instructional (48.67%) and independent (48.00%) reading levels, with a mean comprehension score of 79%. Gender analysis reveals males generally outperform females, while language analysis shows students using English at home have higher comprehension levels than their peers. The least mastered skill is using context clues, with inferential skills such as predicting outcomes and making inferences also needing improvement. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to address least mastered skills, particularly for students at the frustration level, and highlight the importance of addressing gender disparities and supporting non-English-speaking students.
