Background: Stress is inevitable in competitive sports, significantly impacting athletes' performance and mental well-being. This study examines the perceived stress levels among football players from Pondicherry and Kerala, focusing on regional differences, level of achievement, playing position, and residential location. Methods: This study included 64 football players (31 from Pondicherry and 33 from Kerala). Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) via Google Forms. Participants were categorised based on their level of achievement, playing position, and residential status. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and post hoc tests, assessed variations in perceived stress levels. Results: The findings indicate that Kerala football players experience significantly lower perceived stress levels than Pondicherry football players. Regional differences in infrastructure, training facilities, and support systems contribute to this disparity. Additionally, defenders reported the highest stress levels, while forwards exhibited lower stress. Players from urban areas experienced greater stress than those from rural and semi-urban locations. Conclusion: The study highlights the impact of regional differences on perceived stress among football players, emphasising the need for improved support structures in emerging football regions like Pondicherry. Targeted interventions focusing on mental resilience training, enhanced infrastructure, and psychological support can help mitigate stress and optimise player performance.

 Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic eventually grew more predictable and manageable, allowing higher education institutions to gradually shift back to traditional learning approaches. Although the epidemiological situation has improved over time, online learning is becoming increasingly popular as it provides new learning opportunities, especially when combined with traditional learning. This research was conducted to ascertain the impact of COVID-19 on student's motivation in educational institutions. A survey was conducted on 250 students majorly belonging to schools in India and the United Arab Emirates. The survey aimed at understanding the preferences of the students, the various ways in which the institution kept the students motivated, the overall performance, and finally the mental and physical health of the students in an online scenario. The study showed that 77% of the students preferred face-to-face classroom learning rather than online learning and 90% of the students claimed that they could grasp and gain more knowledge form face-to-face classroom learning. It also ascertained the various ways and steps that were adopted by the institutions to keep the students motivated such as online competitions, online graduation ceremonies, creative writing competitions, additional courses, virtual inter-institution competitions, online quizzes, etc.79% of the students also said that the teachers could adapt to the online scenario and include innovative learning methods in their teaching. This research found out that the motivation for majority of students has decreased in an online learning scenario due to COVID-19.

 Abstract

In the face of depleting fossil fuel resources, global attention has shifted towards sustainable and efficient green energy solutions. The rapid advancement of Electric Vehicle (EV) technology, coupled with decreasing component costs, is contributing to the increasing popularity of EVs as a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional vehicles. This study introduces a novel approach where the State of Charge (SoC) of EV batteries is continuously displayed, and the nearest charging stations are readily accessible on the vehicle's screen. The proposed system takes a step further by guiding the EV driver to a slot booking website from a curated list of nearby charging stations, streamlining the process of reserving a charging slot. As the commercial viability of EVs continues to rise, the demand for an effective slot booking system becomes imperative to alleviate the time-consuming nature of the charging process and accommodate the growing need for more charging stations. The presented model for the booking system aims to not only enhance efficiency but also establish a cost-effective solution, addressing the evolving requirements of the expanding electric vehicle ecosystem.

Humour and satire play a pivotal role in Indian contemporary literature, often used to critique societal norms, cultural contradictions, and systemic flaws. This paper explores how these elements are adapted from novels to films, focusing on The Guide by R.K. Narayan, Serious Men by Manu Joseph, and English, August by Upamanyu Chatterjee. Through these case studies, the paper examines filmmakers' challenges in translating the subtle, layered humour and biting satire of the written word into visual storytelling. The adaptations use dialogue, performance, and cinematography to maintain the essence of the original works, ensuring that the humour and critique resonate with a broader audience. By analysing the intersection of humour, satire, and social commentary, this paper highlights how film adaptations continue to entertain while providing nuanced critiques of Indian society.
