In India, the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 represents a turning point in the development of teacher education by highlighting the use of technology to improve pedagogical practices, particularly during the pandemic, when people were looking for quick changes. This was the most significant technology use period, and users increased to a greater extent after the pandemic. The NEP 2020 was unveiled at a moment when the general public began to recognize the significance of technology. This chapter discusses the technology pedagogies that have changed in teacher education beyond NEP 2020. The NEP promotes a learner-centric approach and calls on educators to modify and create new teaching strategies. This change calls for investigating and putting into practice a variety of digital tools and platforms that promote inclusive and individualized learning settings, also looks at how teacher preparation programs are changing to adapt to the needs of the digital era, with a particular emphasis on integrating new technologies like digital simulations, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence.

 Abstract

Fractal-based compact antennas have emerged as a promising solution for modern wireless communication systems due to their unique ability to provide multi-band and ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics while maintaining a compact form factor. The self-similarity and space-filling properties of fractals enable the design of antennas with enhanced impedance matching, improved bandwidth, and superior radiation efficiency. This research focuses on the design, simulation, and performance evaluation of fractal-based antennas for multi-band and UWB applications, catering to the growing demand for high-performance and miniaturized antenna solutions in wireless networks, satellite communications, and IoT devices. The study involves the development of various fractal geometries, including Sierpi?ski, Koch, Minkowski, and Hilbert curve-based antennas, to investigate their performance in terms of gain, return loss, radiation pattern, and bandwidth enhancement. Computational electromagnetic (CEM) techniques such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method are employed for numerical analysis and optimization. The proposed designs are fabricated using advanced PCB technology, and their real-world performance is validated through experimental measurements in an anechoic chamber. A comprehensive comparative analysis is performed to assess the efficiency of different fractal geometries in achieving miniaturization while maintaining optimal radiation characteristics. Additionally, impedance matching techniques such as defected ground structures (DGS) and metamaterial-based loading are explored to further enhance antenna performance. The study also examines the impact of substrate materials and fabrication tolerances on the antenna's operational stability. The results demonstrate that fractal-based antennas can achieve significant size reduction while providing wideband and multi-band characteristics, making them suitable for next-generation wireless applications such as 5G, cognitive radio, and ultra-wideband radar systems. The findings of this research contribute to the advancement of compact and efficient antenna design strategies, offering insights for future developments in wireless communication technology.

 Abstract

The Sanskrit term pradakshina means "to the right".This study examines and analyses the normalisation and naturalisation of folktale rituals and practices in an effort to depoliticize them. Pradakshina, the practice of moving clockwise around a sacred body, is a basic aspect of Hindu worship. When practising pradakshina,the devotee's mind is cleaned and energy is absorbed. Actually,Pradakshina is revolving around an entity of an object in order to achieve concentration, mental balance, personality development, and to bring positivity into our minds, and it can be described in both scientific and historical terms (the ancient people used to worship god by revolving around the ashwath tree (peepal tree), tulasi (basil plant), and the god. This paper explores the religious aspects of pradakshina, including its symbolic meanings in Hindu scriptures and rituals. It further examines the scientific reasoning behind this practice, highlighting how it influences human psychology, neurophysiology, and energy alignment. Through an associative approach, this study establishes that pradakshina is not merely a ritual but a scientifically significant practice that increases well-being and spiritual consciousness

 Abstract

Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, with approximately 700,000 people dying by suicide each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). For every suicide, many more individuals attempt self-harm or struggle with suicidal thoughts. Early identification of individuals at risk is crucial for timely intervention and prevention. Traditional methods of suicide prevention involve clinical assessments, psychological evaluations, and crisis helplines. However, these methods rely on individuals actively seeking help, which is often hindered by stigma, fear, or lack of awareness. In recent years, advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) have provided new opportunities for detecting suicidal ideation through automated text analysis. Social media platforms, online forums, and digital conversations serve as rich sources of textual data where individuals may express distress, depression, or suicidal thoughts. By analysing patterns in language, sentiment, and context, NLP models can help identify at-risk individuals. The goal of this study is to build oan ML model that can classify textual content as either indicative of suicidal ideation or not, thereby assisting mental health professionals in early detection and intervention.

 Abstract

William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." Through the lens of the unseen and unheard, the characters in both novels experience barriers in communication and understanding due to their disabilities. Plath's protagonist, Esther Greenwood, grapples with mental illness, feeling isolated and misunderstood by those around her. Faulkner's character, Benjy Compson, who has an intellectual disability, struggles to express himself and comprehend the world around him. Both authors use narrative techniques to convey the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, shedding light on the complexities of their experiences. By delving into these unseen and unheard voices, this essay aims to highlight the importance of representation and empathy for individuals living with disabilities in literature. In Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar," the protagonist Esther Greenwood battles with mental illness in a society that often overlooks or dismisses her struggles. Esther's internal turmoil and feelings of isolation are palpable as she navigates a world that fails to understand her. Plath skillfully captures Esther's internal dialogue, giving readers insight into her thoughts and emotions as she grapples with her mental health. Through Esther's narrative, Plath challenges societal norms and explores the stigma surrounding mental illness, ultimately shedding light on the unseen and unheard voices of those living with mental health challenges. In William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury," the character Benjy Compson's intellectual disability renders him unable to communicate in conventional ways.
