Paper Title Time Series Modelling and Forecasting of Foreign Direct Investment Inflows into India Using ARIMA
Subject Category Commerce, economics
Abstract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a pivotal role in sustaining economic growth, enhancing technological capability, and strengthening global integration in emerging economies like India. Over the past few decades, India has witnessed substantial fluctuations in FDI inflows due to policy reforms, global economic cycles, and external shocks. Accurate forecasting of FDI inflows is therefore essential for effective macroeconomic planning, investment policy formulation, and long-term development strategies. The present study aims to model and forecast India’s aggregate FDI inflows using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) approach, a widely used univariate time series technique known for its robustness in short-term forecasting. The study employs secondary time series data on India’s FDI inflows over a specified period, sourced from official publications of the Reserve Bank of India and the World Bank. The empirical results indicate that the ARIMA model effectively captures the dynamic behavior of India’s FDI inflows and provides reliable short-term forecasts. The study contributes to the existing literature by offering empirical evidence on the applicability of ARIMA modelling for FDI forecasting in India and provides valuable insights for policymakers and investors in anticipating future investment trends.

Paper Title Insurance Decision-Making and Behavioural Biases: Understanding the Impact of Framing Effects
Subject Category Behavioural Finance Commerce
Abstract Insurance decision-making is a complex process that involves not only rational evaluation of risk and cost but also psychological factors that influence individual judgment. This study aims to examine insurance decision-making from a behavioural finance perspective by investigating the influence of framing effects on consumers’ purchase intentions and risk perceptions, thereby highlighting the uniqueness of psychological factors in insurance choices beyond traditional rational models. The research specifically focuses on gain-framed and loss-framed insurance messages as key parameters, addressing an important gap in existing literature that has largely emphasized investment decisions while giving limited attention to behavioural biases in insurance contexts. Compared to previous studies, the present research provides focused empirical evidence on how message framing alters both risk assessment and purchase behaviour among insurance consumers. A quantitative research design was adopted, using a structured questionnaire to collect primary data, which were analysed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and paired sample t-tests to test the impact of different framing conditions. The findings reveal that framing effects significantly shape insurance decisions, with loss-framed messages intensifying perceived risk and gain-framed messages enhancing purchase intentions by emphasizing benefits and financial security. The study concludes that consumers often deviate from purely rational decision-making due to presentation effects, and the results offer meaningful implications for insurers, policymakers, and financial educators in designing effective, transparent, and ethically framed insurance communication strategies.

Paper Title EFFECTIVENESS OF MOBILE LEARNING IN ENGLISH AMONG MIDDLE SCHOOL VISUALLY CHALLENGED STUDENTS IN PUDUKKOTTAI DISTRICT
Subject Category EDUCATION
Abstract Mobile learning has become accessible to nearly everyone, as most individuals possess at least one mobile phone regardless of social status or income level. It enables learners to access educational content anytime and anywhere. In recent years, learning English through mobile applications has gained popularity, particularly for vocabulary development and pronunciation practice, where digital tools can provide repetitive and consistent input. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of mobile learning in English among visually challenged middle school students in Pudukkottai district. The research adopted a single-group experimental design consisting of a pre-test, post-test-1, and post-test-2. The sample comprised 10 visually challenged students from a middle school in Pudukkottai. The InstaReader mobile application was used as the intervention tool, and academic achievement tests were administered to measure learning outcomes. For data analysis, ANOVA with a post hoc test (Bonferroni test) was employed to interpret the results. The findings revealed that: (i) There was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test-1 (p = 0.783 > 0.01). (ii) There was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test-2 (p = 0.000 < 0.01). (iii) There was a significant difference between post-test-1 and post-test-2 (p = 0.000 < 0.01). The study concludes that repeated exposure and frequent practice through mobile learning significantly enhance English learning among visually challenged students.

Paper Title Understanding Green Consumerism among Youth: A Quantitative Study
Subject Category Marketing-Commerce
Abstract Increasing concern for environmental sustainability and health has prompted consumers to reassess their consumption habits, resulting in the emergence of green consumerism. This concept reflects the conscious choice of eco-friendly products to minimise the adverse environmental impacts of consumption. While previous studies have largely focused on general consumer awareness and the relevance of adopting eco-friendly products, limited attention has been given to the key factors influencing green consumerism among youngsters. Young consumers tend to follow value-driven consumption patterns shaped by specific underlying factors. This study looks at the main factors influencing green consumerism among young people. It will assess their awareness levels, consumption habits, motivation, and perceived obstacles. A quantitative approach is employed to analyse the influence of these factors on young consumers' purchasing decisions. The study hypothesises that awareness, peer pressure, and socio-cultural influences positively affect green consumerism, whereas cost, lack of knowledge, greenwashing, and convenience act as barriers. The findings should give policymakers, marketers, and sustainability advocates useful information to close the attitude-behavior gap and encourage young consumers to adopt eco-friendly habits.

Paper Title Increasing the network longevity by distributing energy consumption in the network.
Subject Category Computer Engineering
Abstract I proposed an on-demand power management framework targeting generic ad hoc networks. To achieve reduced energy consumption while maintaining effective communication, our framework integrates routing information from on-demand ad hoc routing protocols and power management capabilities from the MAC layer. Energy conservation is achieved by judiciously turning on and off the radios of specific nodes in the network. The novelty of our framework is that such power management decisions are driven by active communications in the network. For the purpose of energy conservation, connectivity is only maintained between pairs of senders and receivers and along the route of data communication. In our research work, we will design and propose an extensible on-demand power management framework for ad hoc networks that adapts to traffic load. We will implement a prototype of our framework in the ns-2 simulator that uses the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. We have proposed a new energy-efficient ad hoc on-demand routing protocol that balances energy load among nodes so that a minimum energy level is maintained among nodes and the network life increases. We focused on increasing the network longevity by distributing energy consumption in the network.
