 Abstract

This article analyses the meaning, values, and moral lessons inherent within Khasi-Jaintia society folktales. It examines the roles of genders as portrayed in oral traditions and folktales, aiming to elucidate their impact on the social, economic, political, and cultural fabric of society. These narratives provide an opportunity for modern scholars to delve deeply into the complexities of gender roles while also highlighting the interplay between antiquity and modernity. By studying the folktale narratives of the Khasi-Jaintia, this article seeks to enlighten readers about how the Khasi-Jaintia perceive the world and their environment. Some narratives teach us about the ethical codes and habits exhibited by both genders. Moreover, it aims to understand the relevance of these narratives in identifying the changing trends of gender in modern-day Khasi-Jaintia society. These folktales create awareness in society that both men and women play important roles in upbringing their families. It is their duty as parents to guide, motivate, and inspire their children by citing tales that are relevant to their day-to-day activities.

 Abstract

Highways are one of the significant parts of the modernized world. They play an important role for the development of country's economy. An E-highway, also known as an electric highway, it is revolutionary transportation infrastructure system designed to provide a consistent and efficient power supply to electric vehicles, particularly heavy-duty trucks and buses. The primary goal of an e-highway is to enable electric vehicles to charge while in motion, minimizing the need for large battery packs and addressing range limitation. E-highway can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs for fleet operators. The technology involves overhead lines, rail, or inductive system to transmit power to electric vehicles. Overhead lines are the most commonly used technology, accounting for the largest share of the market. The transport sector depends upon non-renewable sources. Such that fossil fuels, coal, petroleum and natural gases. The transportation sector not only contributes for the nation's development but also for the greenhouse gases emission that accounts for nearly 1/5th of the global total energy consumption. The electric highways is a technique where large trucks or vehicles, hybrids with dynamic pantographs on their top, coupled to the overhead power cables so as to get electricity from the power grid. As a result, E-highways with the combinations of EVs can eliminate the need of vehicle recharging. This technology is the efficient one in term of both fuel-consumption and smart power supply.

 Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate how perceived availability and utilization of instructional materials relate to students' academic performance in secondary school Home Economics in Calabar municipality of Cross River State, Nigeria. Specifically, the sub-sets of the research independent variable (instructional materials) include audio, audio-visual, and visual; the dependent variable (students' academic performance) was the Home Economic Achievement test. To realize the purpose of the study, six research questions and four hypotheses were postulated to guide the study. A related literature review was done in line with the study variables. The correlational research design was adopted for the study. The study population comprised all public secondary school students in Calabar municipality. However, 249 junior secondary school students were selected as samples for the study through stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Three research instruments namely: instructional materials availability checklist, instructional materials usage checklist, and Home Economics achievement test were utilized for data collection. Data gathered were subjected to statistical analysis using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regression analysis. The research questions and hypotheses were subjected to statistical testing at 0.05 alpha levels. The results of the data analysis are: there is a significant relationship between perceived utilization of visual instructional materials and students' academic performance in secondary school Home Economics in Calabar Municipality; there is a significant relationship between perceived utilization of audio-visual instructional materials and students' academic performance in secondary school Home Economics in Calabar Municipality; there is no significant relationship between perceived utilization of audio instructional materials and students' academic performance in secondary school Home Economics in Calabar Municipality; and perceived utilization of audio, audio-visual and visual instructional materials are significant joint predictors of students' academic performance in secondary school Home Economics in Calabar Municipality. Following the findings of the study, it was concluded that availability and utilization of instructional materials are important variables to boost students' academic performance in secondary school Home Economics and other subjects. It is therefore recommended that education policymakers, the heads of secondary schools, the Home Economic teachers, the students, and the society at large should make sure quality instructional materials are provided for effective teaching/learning, and both teachers and students should have access to quality instructional materials to achieve expected educational goals.

Abstract: - Students' learning performance and entire academic experience are greatly influenced by two interconnected psychological factors: academic motivation and academic anxiety. Academic anxiety may both inspire and deter students from pursuing their education, whilst academic passion motivates them to do so. The intricate link between academic drive and anxiety is examined in this theoretical research, with a focus on how the two affect one another and how student performance is affected. The study looks at the situations in which worry may boost motivation and the ones in which it might hinder achievement. It also explores how the dynamics of motivation and anxiety are influenced by elements like academic pressure, perceived control, and self-efficacy. The results emphasize that in order to maximize learning outcomes, educational practices must strike a balance between drive and anxiety. This study advances our knowledge of how academic emotions affect student engagement and identifies topics for further investigation to better comprehend and manage these elements in learning environments.

 Abstract

Caste discrimination is the pivotal topic to be discussed in the academic forum in order to create awareness among public regarding the equality of the race across the globe. Bama's Karukku and Sangati hinge on the specific theme of the social stratification in India and especially in Tamilnadu. From time immemorial, the ancient civilisations have divided people into distinct classes based on the factors like wealth, occupation and birth. The title "The Silenced Voices' promulgates on the socially oppressed people who are suppressed by the societal dictum over the particular sect of people. Every prominent novels indited in the light of domination of people offer a thorough depiction of underrepresented groups and the frequently ignored voices in Indian society. The struggles of Dalit women are highlighted in Bama's Sangati, which focuses on their experiences of oppression, silence, and resistance within a strict caste system. Karukku delves into the inner battle of a Dalit Christian woman contending with religious and caste-based prejudice. The title, The Silenced Voices, emphasizes how these voices are often muted as a result of gender stereotypes, societal hierarchy, and religious restrictions. In the end, both the stories provide a forum for the empowerment and expression of these marginalized voices in literature by acting as a platform to magnify these marginalized viewpoints and challenge the intersectionality of caste, gender, and religion. These works challenge the dominant social institutions that have traditionally marginalized Dalit women by bringing their repressed and silenced voices to the fore with agency and narrative presence. This novels shows how Dalit communities are forced to live outskirts of their villages, denies access to public spaces, and subjected to social exclusion (Anandhi,2005).

 Abstract

Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for coronary heart disease (CHD), a deadly cardiac condition. Identifying coronary artery disease accurately and quickly is crucial for effective patient therapy. Treatments can be initiated sooner and patient outcomes can be improved with early detection. Using an optimised LightGBM classifier, the "HY_OptGBM" model forecasts CHD. When it comes to predictive modelling, the gradient boosting framework LightGBM is both efficient and accurate. Optimisation of the LightGBM classifier is achieved by adjustments to the hyperparameters and loss function. The accuracy and efficiency of model training are both enhanced by this optimisation strategy. Data on coronary heart disease from the Framingham Heart Institute is used to evaluate the model's performance. The algorithm reliably predicts CHD using this data, which paves the way for early detection and, maybe, reduced treatment expenses. Additionally, it presents a Voting Classifier (RF + AdaBoost) that can identify Coronary Heart Disease with a 99% accuracy rate. This ensemble model using Random Forest and AdaBoost does a good job of differentiating CHD patterns. User registration and sign-in are made easier with the use of an intuitive Flask framework that integrates with SQLite, allowing for easier usability testing. This streamlined interface may make the use of machine learning technologies easier for the stakeholders involved in CHD identification.
