 Abstract

Purpose: The goal of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of Vocal music on reducing odd behaviour among children with Intellectual Disabilities having ASD Method: Total 5 students with moderate Intellectual disability between the age group of 10-16 years studying at special school were selected as the sample for the present study. All the selected participants were at simple sentence level and having frequent level of laughing and self talking. Single group pre-test post-test research design was used for this study. BASIC -MR Part-B was administered to assess the base line and evaluation score of the odd behaviour. Performance checklist was developed to check the performance of their associated skills during signing period. The students of the group were taught singing consisted with 8 lines and jingles were also introduced along with singing. Task analysis of singing and frequency recording of selected odd behaviours were done to check the regular achievement level of the participants. Total 20 sessions were carried out for the data collection. Results: The result indicated that there is a significant difference for reducing of odd behaviour among all 5 participants of the study. Time series was done for each participant to see the difference in session wise achievement scores in singing skills and reducing odd behaviour. The rates of learning among the students were also high. This study reveals that rhythm focuses on reducing repetitive talking and laughing with other odd behaviour for easy acquisition of any task or activity which leads the participants towards Independent living. Conclusion: From the result it is evident that intervention through vocal music also helps in enhancing good communication and social skills among children with moderate intellectual disabilities having ASD. It makes the environment more meaningful to the children with ASD as it improves their social communication skills. Finally it can be concluded that introducing Vocal Music to the children with Intellectual Disabilities having ASD definitely brings positive changes in reducing all other problem behaviours. So intervention through Vocal music is regarded as one of the most suitable approach implemented for Independent Living for the children with Intellectual Disabilities having ASD.

 Abstract

Image Data compression finds application in picture compression, where it minimizes the number of bits required to represent an image compared to its original format. In order to store and transmit data efficiently, picture compression aims to decrease irrelevant and redundant image data. Therefore, picture compression may speed up transmission and decrease network latency.In employing a lossless compression technique, data remains intact throughout the compression process without any loss. This study introduces a novel three-stage lossless compression approach called Huffman Inspired LZW Lossless Compression of Images utilising Retinex Algorithm. The first step is to compress the picture using Huffman coding. The second step is to compress the data using LZW and then decode it after joining all of the Huffman code words. Stage three involves applying the Retinex algorithm to the compressed picture in order to boost contrast and overall image quality. Using this suggested method, you can improve MATLAB's compression rate (CR), or mean square error (MSE).

 Abstract

Hindi film industry, since its inception in the early 1930s, has evolved into the largest film industry in the world with over 1000 films being rolled out every year but at the same time it has always been criticized by the western film scholars for its conventional narrative structures that are very divergent from American or European structures. India has had its fair share of auteurs such as Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and others who ushered in the 'Indian New Cinema' also known as 'Parallel Cinema' however, it is the avant garde genre in Hindi cinema that hasn't quite got the attention it deserves. While avant garde movement in films started way back in 1920s and 30s in Europe and America but it is not until the 1960s and 70s that Indian filmmakers tried their hands at this art form. It is interesting to note that the American and European avant garde films greatly differ from their conven-tionally structured counterparts which in turn are different from the conventional narrative structures that mainstream Hindi films follow. Therefore, it merits that research is carried out to analyse the unconventional narrative structures in Hindi films known for their experimental or avant garde genre.

 Abstract

A sound learning is more important in schools to produce better human beings to the society in general and admirable individuals in particular. The school is a miniature society and the activities should have direct relations with the activities of the human life. Students who are better in academics can be victorious in their ventures and lead a life of difference and can reach success without much difficulty. Present students are addicted to the social media and mobile phones. Hence, the performance of the student's day to day is deteriorating. As a remedy to this, setting guidelines for screen time before bed, such as turning off devices at least an hour before sleep, may improve academic outcome for students. By limiting exposure to electronic screens before bed, students can improve their sleep quality and ensure they are well-rested for the day ahead. This can lead to improved concentration, better memory retention, and overall improved academic performance. Additionally, setting guidelines for screen time before bed can also help students establish healthy habits and improve their overall wellbeing. In conclusion, exposure to electronic screens before bed can have a negative impact on students' academic performance. Lack of quality sleep can lead to poor grades, lower test scores, and overall decreased academic performance. However, setting guidelines for screen time before bed, such as turning off devices at least an hour before sleep, students can improve their sleep quality and healthy life style. It's important for students to establish healthy habits and prioritize their wellbeing in order to achieve academic success.

 Abstract

India and other developing nations view agriculture as their primary source of revenue. The majority of people in India depend on agriculture, and it is vital to the creation of jobs. Farmers began applying more fertilizer to their land in order to meet the demand for food and increase output; nevertheless, this practice killed many plants and animals, contaminated water supplies, decreased soil fertility, and increased the risk of human illness. People began to choose organic farming as a result of growing concerns about the environment, human health, and soil health. Organic farming emerged as a solution to the issues with conventional farming. India currently has more organic producers than any other country, and its organic products are sold all over the world. This study set out to investigate the present situation of organic farming in India.

 Abstract

The present study investigated the effects of mercury (Hg) on morphological aspects and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, as well as nitrate reductase activity, at five different concentrations (C, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 mM) of the metal. A comparative analysis was conducted between the aerial and radicle parts to correlate enzyme accumulation with mercury concentration effectively. The activities of antioxidative enzymes, including glutathione (GSH), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and total thiols, demonstrated an enhanced detoxification mechanism in the aerial part compared to the radicle. Similarly, nitrogen assimilation enzymes, namely Nitrate Reductase (NR), Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), and Glutamate synthase (GS), exhibited similar patterns. The results of the present study suggest two significant pathways involved in Hg stress and tolerance in Lens culinaris, providing insight into the natural defensive mechanisms in plants under heavy metal stress.
