 Abstract

The foundation of mathematical literacy rests upon effective concept formation, problem-solving capabilities, and computational fluency development in learners. Mathematical manipulatives represent a proven instructional methodology, employing physical or digital objects to transform abstract mathematical concepts into accessible, visual learning experiences. These interactive tools enable students to develop concrete understanding of essential mathematical operations, including arithmetic processes and fractional reasoning, through direct manipulation and exploration. This investigation examines how Virtual Math Manipulatives influence computational skill acquisition in mathematics among middle-grade learners. The study involved 61 students in Grade 6 from schools within Kollam district, Kerala state. Data analysis employed t-test statistical procedures to determine intervention effectiveness. Results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in computational mathematics performance following Virtual Math Manipulatives implementation among the sixth-grade students. This research contributes to the expanding knowledge base and provides impetus for exploring next-generation educational technologies, particularly artificial intelligence-driven adaptive learning systems and immersive augmented reality environments, opening new horizons for educational technology research and application.

 Abstract

To study a poet or his works, it is essential to understand the period in which he lived, along with the political and social conditions of that time. Every poet's literary creation reflects the age, politics, and society in which he lived. Kamban and R?ma are no exceptions to this rule.

 Abstract

The cardinal focus of this article is to investigate into the pedagogical aspects of children's literature with special reference to Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar's Jwala Kumar and the Gift of Fire: Adventures in Champakbagh (2018). Shekhar's novella constructs subaltern spaces by depicting alternative childhoods in India and resists the generalised concept of childhood. Story telling is perhaps the best way to teach the children and children's literature serves this pedagogical purpose. Shekhar's novella offers a story of friendship, love, and fulfilment. In his novella, Shekhar has woven a magico-realist plot to allegorise the collective dreams of the poorest section of Indian society, far away from the financially secure middle class of the metropolis. The baby dragon in the novella symbolises the fulfilment of those dreams.

 Abstract

Although thermal power plants are essential to the world's energy supply, they have a big impact on local economics and public health. Hazardous pollutants such sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter are released during their operations, which can cause neurological impairments, cardiovascular problems, and respiratory illnesses. Furthermore, incorrect industrial waste disposal contaminates water sources, increasing the dangers to human health. Economically speaking, thermal power plants ensure a steady supply of electricity while fostering industrial expansion and employment development. However, these advantages are frequently outweighed by pollution-driven agricultural decline, growing healthcare expenses, and environmental deterioration, which has a detrimental impact on nearby populations. To reduce harm while preserving economic stability, addressing these issues calls for a move toward cleaner technology, more stringent laws, and sustainable energy sources.

 Abstract

The research conducted on stakeholder awareness about the carbon marketplace and trading covers a total of ten different areas: employee awareness, managerial awareness, training programs, information availability, level of emission reduction understanding, governmental communications, financial incentives, global trends, sustainability goals, and stakeholder participation. Using descriptive statistics and one-sample t-tests based on a group of 70 participants, it was observed that all the dimensional mean values remained significantly above the neutral threshold (p < .001), thus confirming a high degree of overall awareness. The high levels of awareness about sustainability goals, training programs, and communications by governments highlight institutional and policy support. On the other hand, relatively lower levels of awareness about global trends and employee-level understanding show areas of shortfall and demand for targeted training and enhanced acquaintance with global standards. These findings confirm the importance of awareness as a vital factor for efficient participation in carbon trading and highlight enhanced stakeholder knowledge as necessary to promote participation in climate mitigation and sustainable development.

 Abstract

Law enforcement professionals, particularly Investigating Officers (IOs) and Crime Scene Experts (CSEs), face persistent psychological challenges due to repeated exposure to traumatic crime scenes. This descriptive quantitative study examines the emotional and cognitive impact of such exposures and evaluates the perceived need for resilience-building interventions guided by positive psychology. Data were gathered from 30 professionals (15 IOs, 15 CSEs) using a structured 10-item questionnaire investigating trauma exposure frequency, psychological distress, coping methods, and attitudes toward resilience training. Results indicate high levels of emotional distress (83.3%), mental exhaustion (76.7%), and cognitive disturbance (53.3%). Adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies were observed, while 90% endorsed the need for resilience-focused interventions. Findings echo recent international studies highlighting high rates of PTSD and stress among forensic professionals, supporting calls for the institutional adoption of positive psychology approaches to mental health and capacity-building in law enforcement. Limitations include sample size, purposive sampling, and self-report bias. The study underscores the urgency for preventive, strengths-based psychological support in forensic policing.
