Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

The attitude of students towards online learning can vary depending on several factors, including their personal preferences, previous experiences with online education, and the quality of the online learning platform or resources provided. Online learning became the primary mode of education during the pandemic, and understanding students' attitudes helps identify how well they adapted to this new learning environment. By studying their attitudes, researchers can gauge the effectiveness of online learning methods and identify areas for improvement. To study the attitude of Himachal Pradesh University students towards online learning during covid-19, an online survey method was conducted. Here questionnaire is designed in Google form and sent to 227 university students via social media like WhatsApp, email, and Facebook. Participants for this study were selected using convenience sampling. The students' Attitudes towards Online Learning Scale by Jyothi and Vijayabhinandana (2021) was used in this study. Percentage analysis was used to find out the attitude of Himachal Pradesh University students towards online learning during covid-19. It was found that 27% of university students were experiencing online learning for the first time during COVID-19 and 58% of university students felt that COVID-19 harmed their study. Further, 63% of university students found online learning more difficult than face-to-face. The most common negative impacts as agreed by most of the students were hard to interact online with peers (62%) and teachers (61%). However, almost half (49%) of the respondents agreed online learning is less time-consuming than face-to-face learning. In total, 60 % of university students indicated that their home environment supported online learning. Further, 55% of participants are confident with their computer skills; further 55% of participants believe that academic dishonesty is more in online teaching and learning.

The world’s two largest democracies India and US year after year have proved that diversity is our strength. Although in the past their relationship has faced many ups and downs but looking towards the future they are convinced that it is time to embark on a new and purposeful direction in their relationship. Together they represent a fifth of world’s people, more than quarter of the world’s economy. They have built creative, entrepreneurial societies and have become leaders in the information age. The current of commerce and culture that link our societies run strong and deep. In many ways, the character of the 21st century world will depend on the success of our co-operation for peace, prosperity, democracy and freedom. The world is increasingly coming together around the democratic ideals india and US have long championed and lived by. That presents us with an opportunity, but also a profound responsibility to work together on the shared ideals and to bring a natural partnership of shared endeavours. In the new century, India and the United States will be partners in peace, with a common interest in and complementary responsibility for ensuring regional and international security. We will engage in regular consultations on, and work together and with others for, strategic stability in Asia and beyond. We will bolster joint efflorts to counter terrorism and meet other challenges to regional peace. We will strengthen the international security system, including in the United Nations and support the United Nations in its peacekeeping efforts.

Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

Technostress can be seen as a relevant factor that may affect teacher satisfaction and teachers’ performance. The objective of the study was to explore the technostress in relation to computer self-efficacy and perceived organizational support among secondary school teachers. The present study was conducted on 11 schools (both CBSE and PSEB) of Amritsar District of Punjab by using descriptive survey method. The researcher had taken 200 secondary school teachers as a sample on the basis of convenience sampling. The researcher had used 3 tools i.e., Technostress Scale by Nathan and Nathan (2002), Computer Self-Efficacy Scale by Singh (2018) and Perceived Organizational Support Scale by Eisenberger et al. (1986) to collect data for the study. The Study revealed that PSEB school teachers have more technostress than CBSE teachers. Further, the results revealed that male teachers and female teachers do not differ with respect to technostress and computer self-efficacy. However, female teachers perceived more organizational support than male teachers. The study also found that teachers of different age groups do not differ with respect to technostress and perceived organizational support. However, teachers of age group 20-30yrs exhibited better Computer Self-Efficacy followed by teachers 30-40yrs, 40-50yrs, above 50yrs. The research findings suggests that the government of Punjab, NCERT and SCERT should be aware about the need of the time and should provide hands-on experiences of ICT in education and provide training of ICT integration for the development of teachers which help to improve the learning of the students. Keywords: Technostress, Computer Self-Efficacy, Perceived Organizational Support, secondary school teachers, ICT integration.

HYDRO POWER PROJECTS: SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Page No.: 384 - 391

Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

The concept of living in harmony with nature is as old as humankind. However, a modern conception emerged in the term ‘sustainable development’ with the rise of green movements in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Sustainable development can be defined as an approach to the economic development of a country without compromising with the quality of the environment for future generations. This definition captured the spirit of the times whereby government, business, and civil society have strived to make development sustainable. Hydropower accounts for 16% of all global electricity production and it is one of the world’s most widely used renewable, low-carbon energy resources. It plays an important role in enabling communities around the world to meet their power and water needs. In some regions the pace of hydropower growth has been rapid but with little guidance to ensure development is sustainable. However, some of the most promising and influential initiatives to improve development, such as the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol, have been driven by the hydropower sector itself. This paper addresses the progress that hydropower has made in the context of sustainable development over the past 15 years. The concept of sustainable development does imply limits, not absolute limits but limitations imposed by the present state of technology and social organizations on environmental resources and by the ability of the biosphere to absorb the effects of human activities. But technology and social organization can both be managed and improved to make way for a new era of economic growth. Keywords: Hydro Power, Environment, Sustainable Development, Technology.

CUSTOMERS’ CONSCIOUSNESS ABOUT FINANCIAL CYBER FRAUDS IN ELECTRONIC BANKING: AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MUMBAI CITY

Ameya Madhukar Rane

Page No.: 420 - 432

Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

The use of Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques has become pervasive in areas of finance, such as trading, mobile banking, payments, and granting of credit to customers. Moreover, these methods are essential in dealing with financial offenses, fraud, and cyberattacks. Cybercrime is on the rise and cybercriminals are taking advantage of hacking and social engineering strategies to undermine the security systems of financial and corporate establishments. It is troublesome to recognize financial cybercrime activities. Banks and other financial organizations have to confront not just the challenge of distinguishing authentic illegal dealings, but also the need of transparency, fairness, and confidentiality from their customers and regulatory authorities, which necessitates applying artificial intelligence techniques to identify fraud-related activities in a specific way. Despite their popularity, there is still a lack of a complete comprehension of the financial cybercrime environment, associated methods, their flaws, and fresh open issues in this area. Through this investigation, the researcher intends to fill the void by examining the financial cybercrime system based on two levels: (a) the various deceitful practices utilized by criminals; and (b) customers' comprehension of various kinds of financial cyber frauds. This study will concentrate on the financial literacy and public understanding of cybercrime technique. The goal is not only to address cybercrime yet additionally to build up preventive measures by characterizing proper procedures which fraud is acted and devoted. It is estimated that the income generated from financial wrongdoings makes up 2-5% of the world's total GDP (approx. $2 trillion USD) (Forum, n.d.). The anti-money laundering rules in effect are not adequate enough to tackle a problem of this magnitude. Not only have the number of crimes, both identified and hidden, grown, but so has their cost. Cybercrime and malicious hacking have become more common. In the world of financial crime, regulators are continually changing the rules, with a view to counter illegal trafficking and money laundering, and governments are more actively utilizing economic sanctions, focusing on countries, organizations and even single people. Institutions are realising that their existing techniques for dealing with such criminal activities are not enough.

Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

There are serious concerns about the rights of children in Nigeria. The recent economic problem that affect the country had been a major reason for the decline of respect of the children’s rights. Similarly, the issue of “Almajiris” activities had caused government to raised alarm about the declining state of children’s rights. This had caused the federal government to be a signatory of the United Nations convention on children’s rights. It then encourage the state government to domesticate the convention. Significantly, however, Islamic law which happened to be the dominant religion in the northern part of Nigeria had adequate provisions on the rights of the children. This is even one of the reasons most of the northern states were reluctant to domesticate the convention in to law. The educated and rich people even appoint the child for domestic work in Nigeria and deprive them from their educational and cultural rights. Someone earns money with the help of child appointing in inhuman work. So, it is a common phenomenon that a child is not able to take the responsibility of household work and others because of immaturity of health and mind. For lack of love and affections a child may become physically and mentally disable and back warded. But the Holy Quran and Prophet (s) emphasize to build up health, mind, education, culture, carrier and character of them. Keywords- Right and Duties of Parents, Children and Islamic Law

Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perceptions of school administrators on Marzano's Teacher Supervision Model, as well as its influence on instructional practises and the results for students. The primary objectives were to assess the effectiveness of the Marzano paradigm from the perspective of school leaders, identify problems with its implementation, and investigate how feedback and professional development fit within the framework of the paradigm. To achieve these objectives, a strategy that included a variety of approaches was used. Surveys were given to a diverse sample of school administrators and principals, while a smaller number of participants were given the opportunity to participate in in-depth interviews. The technique of acquiring data made it feasible to completely appreciate how school administrators felt about Marzano's model of teacher supervision. This was made possible by the fact that the data could be broken down into categories. Important findings indicate that the majority of school administrators consider the Marzano Model to be a beneficial instrument for the improvement of education as well as the development of teachers. They enjoy how the technique is arranged and how it focuses an emphasis on feedback that is backed by evidence as well as individualised professional development. However, owing to constraints such as time and resources, it is not possible to fully use the model's capabilities as they now stand. The study also highlights how crucial feedback and professional development are for enhancing the efficacy of teachers as well as the enjoyment they experience in their jobs. The outcomes of the research highlight the significance of Marzano's Teacher Supervision Model in terms of encouraging the growth of teachers and improving instruction in the classroom. It provides relevant information on the thoughts and experiences of school administrators, underlining the importance for on-going help and the customization of models to take into account the specific circumstances of each individual school. Because of these findings, school administrators and legislators may be able to strengthen teacher monitoring, which may ultimately lead to improved outcomes for students.

Abstract SHOW PDF Certificate Citation

Education is not how well you can read, write, speak and listen but whether you can communicate and interact with and perceive the world around you. A good education system not only teaches you practical skills but also helps you broaden your perception, gain better understanding, and teaches you to think for good society. Youths today are quite aware and comfortable speaking about social injustices and other current issues. This can be attributed to the increased access to formal education around the world, which in turn has made people more accepting and open-minded. Therefore, education is a very crucial element of human evolution and development. The importance of formal education is also pronounced in areas of creativity and new innovation. Education encourages thinking outside the boundaries. Education makes aware about life and problems.

Philosophy of freedom has remained most debated concern of the 19th and 20th century Oriental countries. The encounter of western and eastern cultures reached warlike climax during early 20th century India. The proliferation in intellectualism and humanism opened up new discourse of political and spiritual freedom and equality. Various thinkers criticised colonial government across the globe and initiated freedom movements. The exploitation and subjugation which colonizer practiced over colonized explained in majority of theories. But there is interesting issue about western culture that is its hegemonic impression on colonized minds. The western culture established and imprinted its hegemonic impression on Eastern subjects in such a depth that people started condemning their own culture. Many critics have explained it in considerable depth. One of such thinkers was Gandhi who looked at western superiority from wrong end of the telescope. He developed his own views on colonial government. Gandhi’s discourse of freedom consists of self consciousness and self control. His work Hind Swaraj nicely portrays how Indian people accepted superiority of white people. Majority of people examined the existence of whites in India as a result of their superiority in weapons but Gandhi rejects this hypothesis. Gandhi formulates a discourse where he says that we are enslaved by our mind that is the reason why we are colonized. Thus, it would be crucial to map down how the process of decolonization of Indian mind might be helpful in getting rid of British rules.

Political Science intersects with other fields, including economics, law, sociology, history, anthropology, public administration, public policy, public politics, transnational relations, relative politics, psychology, political association and political proposition. Politics is an ongoing process, which aims at achieving the well- being of individualities in the organized society by working their problems to the topmost extent possible. Aristotle called politics as a “master wisdom.” For David Easton, politics is an attempt at “authoritative allocation of values.” The present conceptual paper is too focused on Study the Teaching-Learning Process in Political Science with prime aims (i) to understand the concept of Political Science. (ii) To discuss the Nature of Political Science as a Subject. (iii) To analyse the Teaching-Learning Methods in Political Science.

This study focuses on examining the views of teachers and examining the problems of children about multigrade teaching. Investigators used purposive sampling and selected five primary schools of pattamundai block in kendrapara district of odisha. Descriptive survey method with qualitative approaches was employed for sixty respondents from teachers and students. To data collection the investigator used various tools and techniques such as self-made questionnaire for teachers and focus group discussion for students. Data was analyzed and interpreted using percentage analysis and qualitative techniques of thick description. The findings revealed that the physical environment of classrooms was not well equipped. Teachers reported that they had to face lots of problems to handle multiple grade classes and 75% teachers viewed that they had to take more than three classes simultaneously. It is therefore recommended that schools and mass education must recruit teachers in primary schools to enhance the qualitative improvement in primary level and to reduce teachers’ scarcity.
