 Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of game-based learning on students� performance. For this reason, an empirical study was conducted which comprises the comparison of traditional learning and game-based learning. The participants were lower primary school students of age group 6-8 years. GSR NUL-217 logger sensor was used to record the physiological signals of each participant in real-time. An android-based game intervention named �KidsZoneApp� was developed which included Mathematics and English lesson plans according to the student�s curriculum. The collected log data was used to calculate the changes in different dimensions of completing the task. ANOVA yielded a very significant difference between game-based learning and traditional learning groups. Overall, the results showed that game-based learning contributed to increased students� performance levels. Significantly, students under game-based learning completed the task in lesser time as compared to traditional learning. Along with that, it has been found out that arousal is highly associated with intelligence which means that students who scored more showed higher arousal as compared to students who scored less points.

 Abstract

Chlorophytum borivialianum (Safed Musli) is an endangered Indian medicinal herb, belonging family Liliaceae. This species has gained significance due to their valuable medicinal properties of male restorative and rejuvenation. Now-a-days this plant is indiscrimately exploited by people for food medicine and commerce reindering it endangered. To protect the germplasm of this valuable medicinal herb cultural studies was initiated. In the present investigation protocol for induction of callus was standeredize. Cultural studies in Safed Musli was initiated by using floral axis, leaf and stem disc as explant. Explants were surface sterilized by using Hgcl2 (0.01%) and 70% ethylalcohol after Razadan. Explants were cultured on MS media supplemented with various growth hormones. Friable callus was formed after 15 days of inoculation, which after 4-5 days changed in to somatic embroids.

 Abstract

For the development of aquaculture, a good knowledge of the mechanisms regulating the reproductive function in fish is required as such knowledge makes it possible to exercise varying degrees of control on the different stages of reproduction to adapt the techniques to fit fish culturist. Though, reproductive physiology has progressed considerably in recent years owing to the development of new & varied techniques (Billiard & Marcel, 1986; Sinha & Srivastava, 1991; Shankar Das and Kulkarni, 2007) but it needs more studies on the biochemical aspects especially the role of blood in fresh water fish. Thus, it appears that fluctuations in blood constituents especially the inorganic ions of the Indian fresh water fish with relation to their reproductive cycle have not been studied in detail, while among the physiological parameters; reproduction is one of the most important phenomena of an animal to continue its existence. It is also known that vitamins play some important role in the development of germ cells as both Vit �B� & �C� are concerned with maturation of oocytes. It has also been concluded that the yolk precursor (vitellogenin) are synthesized in liver & brought to the oocytes by blood (Bohemen et.al; 1981). As blood performs the vital function of nutrition & respiration to each and every tissue of the body, its (blood) constituents must take active role in such processes. Therefore, any variations in these constituents of blood even due to season would have some effect on the Gonadal cycle as well, but only a few work is available on some of these physiological parameters (Idler & Bitner 1958; Gill et. al., 1983; Singh, 1990, 1996; Panday et.al., 1993) and thus needs further studies. In this paper we determine Cholesterol, Lactic Acid, Pyruvic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, and Biochemical Parameters in Serum of the Clarias Batrachus Fish.

Abstract: This study attempts to identify the impact of grievances handling procedure on job satisfaction of lower level managers in a selected private bank, Sri Lanka. As per the researches on banking industry, it was found that the most of employees show higher dissatisfaction about working environments, existing workload and tough work schedule in their banks. As a result, maintaining and retention of the best performers within the organization has become a major challenge in the industry. This study is aimed to investigate the impact of grievances handling procedure on job satisfaction of lower level managers in a selected private bank, Sri Lanka. The data were collected from 105 lower level managers in the selected private bank, by administering a structured questionnaire, which consisted of 55 questions/statements with 5 points Likert scale: The data analysis included the univariate and bivariate analyses. The results of the research revealed that there is a positive and significant impact of grievances handling procedure on job satisfaction of lower level managers in the selected private bank. The findings showed that dimensions of grievances handling procedure like timeliness, structure of the procedure, justice ensured by the procedure and participation of managers and trade union also have a positive and significant impact on the job satisfaction of lower level managers. An indicated by the empirical data, job satisfaction of lower level managers in the bank depends on grievances handling procedure in the company. According to the behavior of the dependent and independent variables, dimensions of grievances handling procedure like timeliness, structure, justice and participation enhance the job satisfaction of the lower level managers. To conclude, it may be said that though this research is based on the study of a particular employee category, the findings may be followed to improve the effectiveness of the procedure across organizations. .

 Abstract

Homosexuality is a hotly debated topic and has gathered huge attention of the people all around the globe. It is sexual attraction or romantic attraction between members of same sex or gender also commonly known as LGBTIQ community. This community has been treated as a taboo as it is against the social beliefs and morals. Despite of various conventions there are still certain countries where homosexuals are not considered to be equal. This has laid to the injustice towards this community as they are being deprived off from selecting their partners and live their life with dignity. However, with the passage of time people are analyzing and acknowledging the existence of a separate gender known as homosexuals or LGBTIQ Community. And in fact, many countries are removing the illegality of LGBTIQ community including India. In 2018, Supreme Court of India in its verdict pronounced that consensual gay sex is no more a crime and abrogated section 377IPC. The judgment acts like a shield or blanket for the protection of LGBTIQ against the harshness and brutality of the society towards them. The reason behind this transformation is the doctrine of equality enshrined in the constitution of India that clearly highlights the fundamental rights to make a choice freely. But still it is observed that the LGBTIQ community is not getting equal status in the society and there are still countries that has termed homosexuality as crime and imposed penalty along with death punishment. Even in India also the laws are still not clear for the rights of the community like rights related to marriage, adoption, etc. This paper broadly highlights the condition and history of LGBTIQ community in India, how they are being tortured and discriminated, also the societal perception towards them and the condition of LGBTIQ community during pandemic. Further it also focuses on sensitization of public and coming generation, as with the contemporary society the young generations are more supportive and understands much better than old generation. The paper also provides some suggestion required to be covered by the government in providing true Independence to the community.

 Abstract

Ecocriticism is very closely associated with human development and industrialization. However, the concern for ecology and the threat that caused by the misuse of nature by human being has shaken the literary people and ultimately the branch of eco-criticism took place. Ecology and eco-criticism are the significant aspects for the literary study and research. People are becoming conscious about the environment. Environmental balance is very important in this globalized world. Many poets and novelists have become eco-conscious or environment conscious. They have used Nature as landscape, as beautiful atmosphere/lively atmosphere such as Arundhati Roy, R.K. Narayan, Raja Rao, Kamala Markanday, Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, many more in whole over the world. The literature has become a mode of expression about environment and its importance in human life and universe. Due to the Eco imbalance and the environmental pollution, the whole world is under the curse of global warming. The healthy well-balanced environment/atmosphere is the need of time. The present research paper highlights the concern of Eco-Critical Theory in Kiran Desai novels Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard (1998) and The Inheritance of Loss (2006).
