Published: May 2023

In this work, composites of ZnO and NiO nanofibers with n- and p-type conductivity, respectively, were studied. It is shown that the conductivity of the studied composites strongly depends on the arrangement of ZnO and NiO nanofibers. In the case of a mixture of ZnO and NiO nanofibers (with their random arrangement relative to each other and electrical contacts), conduction can occur only along ZnO fibers, which have a higher conductivity compared to NiO. However, the presence of the ZnO/NiO p-n heterojunction leads to the formation of depleted regions in ZnO, as a result, the conductivity of the mixture becomes several orders of magnitude lower than the conductivity of ZnO nanofibers. In the case of a two-layer composite, in which one layer consists of NiO nanofibers and the other layer consists of ZnO nanofibers, charge carriers move through the p-n NiO/ZnO heterojunction, which leads to a rectifying current-voltage characteristic and opens up broad prospects for the use of such systems in electronic devices. Keywords: metal oxides, zinc oxide, nickel oxide, heterostructures, conductivity.

Published: May 2023

The pyrolysis of acetylene was studied experimentally in a cyclic compression reactor in an atmosphere of buffer inert gases (argon, neon, helium). A significant difference in the thermodynamic conditions for the complete pyrolysis of the precursor for various buffer gases was revealed. The reaction products of acetylene in neon and helium contained up to 20% of the part soluble in organic solvents. The study of the ethanol-soluble part of the product using time-of-flight mass spectrometry with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization made it possible to distinguish even and odd branches in the spectrum of substances by the number of carbon atoms. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of larger particles by merging smaller ones. Keywords: cyclic compression reactor, acetylene pyrolysis, buffer inert gas, growth mechanism, carbon nanoparticles.

“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”. - Socrates Metacognitive Strategies make to think a person. Metacognition is a concept of cognitive psychology that “focuses on the active participation of the individual in his or her thinking process” (Stewart and Landine, 1995, p. 17). A wide range of definitions and interpretations of the term metacognition have been accumulated (Manning and Payne, 1996) since it was first used by Flavell. Flavell’s expanded description (1979, p. 906) included knowledge of strategy, task, and one’s cognition. These three related kinds of metacognitive knowledge continue to be perceived as essential components of the learning process (Krathwohl, 2002; Pintrich, 2002). This article explains the Definition, Principles, why teach meta cognitively and some Metacognitive Strategies.
WOMEN WORKERS IN THE UNORGANISED SECTOR: A HUMAN RIGHT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Panda Mandakini
Published: May 2023

Human rights are recognized as inalienable rights to be realized by all human beings. Therefore it is necessary to understand how the unorganized workers generally, and women workers in particular, who are regarded as most vulnerable section of India's human resources, realize their human rights. Unorganised Sectors in India are contributing immensely towards economic growth, however the same is not recognised due to lack of statistical information and lack of proper mechanisms to collect the same. Equally a huge number of people are depended on workers working in unorganised sectors, but the same is also not recognised. The ILO report on "More and Better Job for Women — An Action Guide" states that more than 45% women all over the world in the age group of 15 to 64 are contributing to the economy in a significant way'. The unorganized sector is too vast to remain within the confines of any conceptual definition. Hence, descriptive means are used to identify the unorganized sector. Its main feature can be identified through the sector and process where unorganized labour is used. Despite existence of labour laws, the workers in this sector do not get social security and other benefits for various reasons and there is hardly any trade union or constitutional mechanism to fight for them. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the human rights of women workers of the unorganized sector.

Authors: Jadhav Radhika Rajiv , Bhandare Seema K
Published: May 2023

Today’s classroom setup is demanding, challenging, and overburdening for the teachers. Drama Therapy is a potent tool to make teaching-learning more effective in today’s classroom setup. This paper explores the wide scope of Drama Therapy activities that can be used to enhance the social skills of preadolescents, especially of those who are deprived of a conducive social environment and reference groups. With the humongous amount of data influx and the strong influence of social media on today’s preadolescents, it is essential to enrich the traditional teaching method by using innovative pedagogies for holistic development during this impressionable period. Drama Therapy is a transdisciplinary approach that employs various techniques of theatre in order to bring about significant changes in one’s personality and behaviour. In socially disturbed communities like that of Jammu and Kashmir or that of extreme geographical terrains like high altitudes, it can actually bring in a sense of stability and sound understanding of the social scenario. Drama Therapy is a type of Expressive Arts Therapy that focuses on social intelligence that is a blend of a thorough understanding of one’s own self, clarity of thought, power of decision making in relationship management, and social awareness and interactions.

TRIBAL EDUCATION - CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Mane Vikas
Published: May 2023

Tribal education is the litmus test of the social sector welfare role of the state. The tribal stay outside the urban and rural fringes and live with social-cultural values that are distinctly different to the mainstream society. It is a cruel joke that people who can produce some of India's most exquisite handicrafts, who can distinguish hundreds of species of plants and animals who can survive off forests, the lands and the streams sustainably, with no need to go to the market to buy food, are labeled as unskilled. And we the mainstream urban consider ourselves to be skilled and superior. We in the mainstream are superior knowledge and skill, no doubt about it. But it is superiority to attest to the highest call of development that is sustainable development. We, the mainstream, are pursuing the parameters of globalisation in pursuit of global material life reflecting in our education especially higher education. The tribal education can be assessed on the following issues - Separate Ashramshala schools for tribal children; Medium of instruction; Teachers at school; Our school curriculum; Right to education and the tribal children.
IMPACT OF EMPLOYMENT ON DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-DETERMINATION SKILLS IN ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
Authors: Keshwal Hemant Singh
Published: May 2023

The purpose of education for all students with or without intellectual disability is preparation for adulthood. Unfortunately there are aspects of the special education process which serve as barriers to their outcome. The opportunities to make choices, express preferences, experience control over outcomes, take risks and assume responsibility for personal actions are highly prized by most people. Perceptions of adulthood are linked directly to these adult roles (Blalock, 1988). Self-determination is a concept reflecting the belief that individuals have the right to direct their own lives. Students with intellectual disability who have self determination skills have better chances of being successful in making the transition to adulthood including employment and independence (Wehmeyer and Schwartz 1997). A self determined person sets goals, makes decisions, sees options, solves problems, speaks for himself, understands what supports are needed for success and knows how to evaluate outcomes (Mortin and Marshal 1996), To lead an independent life in the society it is important for persons with intellectual disability to develop self-determination skills. The study was conducted on a sample size of 10 adults with intellectual disability with mild to moderate level of severity and are employed in various set ups from various socio economic status. To measure the level of self determination skills Self Determination Scale for Adults with Intellectual Disability (SDSAID) was used. The scale has 36 items spread over five domains i.e., Personal management, Community participation, Recreation and leisure time, Decision making and Problem solving. It is a self administered tool. It was observed that employed adults with mild intellectual disability with more experience has performed better in overall self-determination skill.

READING CHINUA ACHEBE’S THINGS FALL APART AS A POSTCOLONIAL NOVEL
Authors: Bhati Tripti .
Published: May 2023

Postcolonial Literature is a body of literary writings that react to the discourse of colonization. It is written by natives of formerly colonized countries. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is an African novel set in the precolonial past. It was written in the 1950s when the colonial rule in many African countries began to collapse. Through this novel Achebe intends to prepare the natives of colonized countries for self-rule by making them realize that Africans did not learn to be civilized from their colonizers, they had their way of life before everything was snatched away from them. This paper attempts to highlight the indigenous culture of the Igbo community before colonization as depicted in the novel and the effects of colonization on the people. This paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we will look at the cultural aspects of the precolonial Igbo community, and in the second part, we will look at the beginning of colonization in Igboland and its adverse impacts on people.

हिन्दी साहित्य का क्षेत्र विस्तृत फलक पर फैला हुआ है। आप्रवासी लेखन को हिन्दी साहित्य के फैलते हुए फलक का विस्तार कहा जा सकता है। आप्रवासी को विदेशों में बसे भारतीयों का साहित्य, भारतवंशी अथवा भारत के पार का रचना संसार आदि नामों से जाना जाता है। इसका अपना एक अलग समाजशास्त्र है। विस्तृत फलक पर साहित्य का विस्तार होने के कारण इसको एक निश्चित सीमा अथवा किसी एक पैमाने में विश्लेषित नहीं किया जा सकता है। प्रवासी साहित्य के अन्तर्गत मॉरीशस, फिजी, त्रिनिदाद, गुयाना के साहित्य का अपना समाजशास्त्र है। ब्रिटेन में लिखी गई कहानियाँ उस वर्ग का प्रतिनिधित्व करती हैं, जो भारत से अवसरों और पैसों की तलाश में ब्रिटेन और यूरोप तो चले गए। किन्तु वहाँ की संस्कृति, समाज, वहाँ की नीतियों से सामंजस्य स्थापित नहीं कर पाए और खुद को असहज अनुभव करते हैं। तीव्र औद्योगीकरण के परिणामस्वरूप पश्चिमी समाज में मानव जीवन अधिकाधिक आराम तलब एवं ऐश्वर्यपूर्ण जीवन शैली का आदी हो गया। मशीनीकरण और यंत्रीकरण के कारण बाजार में नए-नए उत्पाद सर्वसुलभ हो गए। मानव जीवन को इन उत्पादों को परोसने के लिए उसके अवचेतन में छिपी लालसाओं को जाग्रत किया गया और इस कार्य को विज्ञापन जगत् ने आसान बनाया। मानव जीवन अधिक से अधिक सुविधाओं को लूटने की दिशा में अग्रसारित हुआ। जिसके कारण वह भौतिकतापूर्ण जीवन शैली और उपभोगतावादी दर्शन को अपने जीवन में अधिक महत्त्व देने लगा। जिससे समाज में काफी उथल-पुथल और टूट-फूट हुई, मानवीय संबंध छिन्न-भिन्न हो गए। पुरानी मान्यताएँ, परंपराएँ और सिद्धान्त सभी संकट के घेरे में आ गए। आप्रवासी कहानी पश्चिमी समाज के उपभोगतावादी दर्शन के कारण संबंधों में आए बदलाव पर गहनता से विचार-विमर्श करने के साथ-साथ ही एक विकल्प ही खोज भी करती है।
SELF-HELP GROUPS AND CAPACITY BUILDING OF ITS MEMBERS IN HATHRAS DISTRICT OF UTTAR PRADESH
Authors: Singhal Mridula , Singh Upasana
Published: May 2023

Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have proved to be an effective instrument in India to address the problem of poverty on the one hand and also empower women on the other. The main aim of this paper is to know the aspects of capacity building of self-help group members. It is expected to empower women economically and also socially in terms of, say, fighting for their rights, fighting against the social evils like gender bias, child labour, violence against women, secondary status assigned to women, dowry and crimes against women. It is true that the overall empowerment depends on the economic empowerment and as such women primarily concentrate on savings and then they extend their coverage to various other aspects including health, nutrition, environment, forestry, and agriculture. By providing independent sources of income outside home, micro-credit tends to lessen economic dependency of women on their husbands and thus help improve autonomy. Micro-credit programmes, by providing control over material resources, raise women’s prestige and status in the eyes of their husbands and there by promote inter-spouse consultations. Medium levels of economic development have occurred through such change as there is more independence now than before. There is capacity building of SHG members as in aspect of changes in women’s mobility and social interactions; changes in women’s labour patterns; changes in women’s access to and control over resources and changes in women’s control for decision-making. The micro-finance contributes to many developmental aspects among women. It has been realized from the study, as well as from other case studies which have been done in different districts of Uttar Pradesh, that it has resulted in significant increase in income among women from their own economic activities; enabling women to have control over their earnings, especially giving them a choice over the use of such income; enabling women to negotiate and bring out an improvement in their well-being within the household; and enabling women to form or support a networking, which helps them in protecting their person and collective interests at the micro levels and macro levels.

Phenomena of stress must be recognized and interacted with in various professions – in the teaching and non-teaching profession. In recent years inclusive education has risen to prominence, which changed the usual roles of teachers, from employing a "talk and chalk" method to being more pupil-centered. Non-teaching employees also are suffering from stress. Non-teaching employees are also affected by stress. The study's objective was the role of stress among teaching employees and non-teaching employees with the help of 60 samples. The researcher used a stress- scale to measure the level of stress among teaching and non-teaching employees. The Stress Scales (S-scale), developed by Dr Telindker Kaur, Dr Prerna Puri and Prof. Anju Mehta, were used to measure stresses. The 't' test revealed a significant difference between teaching non-teaching staff concerning their stress score. Teachers are more stressed as compared to non-teaching staff.

Published: May 2023

The present paper intends to develop insights into the system of education practiced in India as a Guru- Shishya Parampara through Gurukuls in contemporary times. Some of such models are presented in this paper to suggest the curriculum in the present education system in the light of NEP. There are Gurukulas even in the current times following the ancient system and are preserving Indian knowledge and Guru Shishya Parampara. They still follow oral tradition and practice various ideologies. In the Indian education system, there are two types of Vidyas; they are Para and Apara Vidya. Para Vidya is related to spiritual (Non-Material) like Vedas and Vedangas, Upanishads etc., which leads us to liberation. Apara Vidya is connected to (Material) Science and technology, astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, and sixty-four Kalas (Music, dance, skills, warfare arts etc.); the ultimate goal of the Apara Vidya is to reach the Moksha through Para Vidya. In Rig Vedic period, every individual had equal opportunities in the field of education irrespective of race, religion, gender, cast and region etc. But later Periods, the education system was influenced by religious, political, economic, social and other factors. The ideals, spiritual practices, duty helped for the welfare of the universe by the individuals or society is called Dharma. In India, Dharma is the ultimate destination for everyone. Indians are inculcating Dharma through spirituality, responsibility, morals, duties and knowledge. The treasure of knowledge in India is preserved in the sacred texts in the ancient Sanskrit language. The Sanskrit language is the key to understanding the enormous knowledge of India. Some of the (Agrahara) villages in India are like 1. Mattur (Karnataka), 2. Jhiri (Madhya Pradesh) and 3. Ganoda (Rajasthan), Parishads, Ashramas,Vidya Peetas,Mathas and Vedic /Sanskrit Universities still preserve the Deva Bhasha Sanskrit as their Mother Tongue and Educational language. There are different Gurukulas established with different ancient ideologies, Curriculum, rules and regulations by different Philosophies from ancient to the present. Still, the ultimate goal of all these organizations is to preserve and transfer ancient Indian knowledge to the next generations. The central core idea of the Gurukula is to train the students with their interesting skills and their education, and it is not preparing the students for seeking jobs. The kind quality of education in Gurukulas influences the overall development of students as human beings. Gurus and Shishyas discipline, responsibility, duties and dedication etc., are the utmost essential qualities in this system. This paper tries to explain the ancient Gurukul practices and the processes involved and understand various models existing with diverse Indian philosophical perspectives. This paper also brings out a critical analysis of some of the existing models of Gurukuls.

Authors: Saha Gautam

The Poet’s School, founded by Rabindranath Tagore way back in 1901in Santiniketan was not merely a fanciful idea. It was a rebellion against mechanical Colonial system of Education having an essence of indigenous Indian Culture. It was constructed upon a solid foundation of scientific principles of education for a joyful and fulfilling life in the abundance of nature. The school, over the years, has proved to be a laboratory for many kinds of experiments in natural settings to arrive at the ultimate truth. Breaking away from the rigid, stereotypical conventional mode of teaching and learning, the poet’s school has been a place for self-exploration through multifarious activities like Art, Craft, Music, Dance, Drama, Observation of Nature, Self-discipline and Social engagements apart from regular studies.

THE THEME OF DEATH IN THE POETRY OF EMILY DICKINSON
Authors: Joshi Manish
Published: May 2023

The modest selection of Dickinson’s poems reveals that death is the predominating theme in her poetry and the approach she adopted while dealing with this painful subject is quite idiosyncratic. She was not prepared to accept the old conventional ideas about it. She wanted to know what happens after we die and this is why the subject of resurrection always intrigued her. Though she had heard about this subject from the pulpit, yet she was not ready to put her complete faith in the notion of immortality. Many poems of Emily Dickinson express her doubt about immortality. On the other hand we do have the poems in which she describes her deep faith in immortality. In fact doubt and faith go together in the poetry of Dickinson. We find the lines in her poetry which depict immortality as a “House of Supposition” and heaven as an “uncertain certainty”. She preferred the finite life on earth to the infinite life in heaven. But a time came when she started regarding death as ‘the gateway to immortality’ and she understood the fact that death liberates the human soul. The most important feature of the psyche of Emily Dickinson was that she did not regard death as a bugbear to frighten the humans, but for her it was the final end of the sad existence on this earth and she regarded tomb as a place of permanent rest.
