A STUDY ON IDENTIFYING THE REASONS FOR LACK OF INTEREST IN MATHEMATICS AMONG GOVERNMENT HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOLS AT PUDUKKOTTAI DISTRICT
|
| Subject Category |
EDUCATION
|
| Abstract |
This paper aims to identify the various possible reasons for lack of interest in Mathematics. According to NPE (1986), “Mathematics should be visualized as the vehicle to train a child to think, reason, analyse and articulate logically. Apart from being a specific subject, it should be treated as a concomitant to any subject involving analysis and meaning”. Knowledge given in the classroom is divorced from practical life. Hence Mathematics taught in classroom is very mechanical. The subject loses its taught in an abstract, dry and uninteresting manner. Objective of the study is list out the reasons for lack of interest in Mathematics among Government higher secondary schools at Pudukkottai district. The sample of the present study consists of 1200 higher secondary school students. Among them 660 are boys and 540 are girls. The survey method is followed to collect the data. The data was quantified and analysed in the form of chi-square test and percentage. The finding of the study indicates that factors such as gender, school management, locality, and type of school significantly influence students’ perceptions of the reasons for difficulties in learning Mathematics. These factors should therefore be considered while designing interventions to improve students’ interest, confidence, and achievement in Mathematics.

Identify the Factors Determining Effective Utilization of AI Tools and Their Relationship with Overall Faculty Productivity
|
| Subject Category |
Education
|
| Abstract |
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in higher education, offering innovative solutions to enhance teaching, research, assessment, and administrative activities. The effective utilization of AI tools has the potential to improve faculty productivity by reducing workload, facilitating decision-making, and enhancing academic performance. In this context, the present study aims to identify the factors determining the effective utilization of AI tools and examine their relationship with overall faculty productivity among higher education faculty members in Pollachi Taluk, Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu. The study adopted a descriptive and analytical research design and collected primary data from 200 faculty members using a structured questionnaire administered through Google Forms. A stratified random sampling technique was employed to ensure adequate representation of faculty members from different higher education institutions. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, while skewness and kurtosis tests were applied to assess data normality. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to identify the underlying dimensions influencing AI tool utilization, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to examine the relationships among the study variables. The findings revealed that technological competence, perceived usefulness, institutional support, attitude toward innovation, ease of use, AI training support, and ethical awareness significantly and positively influenced the effective utilization of AI tools. Conversely, data privacy concerns negatively affected AI adoption and usage. The SEM results further indicated that effective AI tool utilization had a strong positive impact on faculty productivity (ß = 0.57, p < 0.001), demonstrating that faculty members who effectively integrate AI technologies into their academic activities achieve higher levels of efficiency and performance. The study concludes that strengthening technological skills, providing adequate institutional support, and promoting AI-related training initiatives are essential for maximizing the benefits of AI in higher education. The findings offer valuable implications for educational institutions and policymakers in developing strategies that encourage responsible AI adoption and enhance faculty productivity in the evolving digital learning environment.

AN EXAMINATION OF NEUTRALIZATION AND RATIONALIZATION TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED BY DIGITAL FILE SHARERS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL INTEGRATION
|
| Subject Category |
Computer Science
|
| Abstract |
Aim:The proliferation of digital technologies, peer-to-peer platforms, and online content-sharing ecosystems has intensified concerns regarding unauthorized digital file sharing and piracy. Although legal and technological interventions have been implemented to curb digital piracy, persistent engagement in unauthorized downloading and sharing suggests that behavioral, psychological, and moral dimensions play a critical role in shaping user conduct. This study systematically reviews the extant literature on neutralization and rationalization techniques employed by digital file sharers and proposes an integrated theoretical framework to explain the persistence of digital piracy behavior.
Research Methodology
This study adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology informed by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) principles. Peer-reviewed literature published between 1991 and 2024 was examined across leading academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar. Studies focusing on digital piracy, neutralization theory, rationalization, moral disengagement, theory of planned behavior, and online deviance were systematically identified, screened, and synthesized. A thematic and theoretical integration approach was employed to identify recurring explanatory patterns, conceptual inconsistencies, and emerging research directions.
Findings
The review reveals that neutralization and rationalization mechanisms consistently function as central psychological justifications enabling individuals to engage in unauthorized digital file sharing while minimizing feelings of guilt and moral conflict. Frequently observed neutralization techniques include denial of injury, denial of responsibility, denial of victim, condemnation of condemners, and appeal to higher loyalties. Findings further indicate that rationalization mediates the relationship between ethical beliefs and digital piracy intentions by reframing unauthorized sharing as socially acceptable, economically justified, or morally harmless behavior. The study identifies perceived anonymity, peer influence, subjective norms, moral obligation, technological accessibility, and perceived risk as recurrent antecedents shaping digital piracy intentions. Existing research remains theoretically fragmented, with limited integration between criminological, psychological, and information systems perspectives.
Research Limitations
The review is limited to peer-reviewed English-language studies and may exclude region-specific gray literature and non-indexed scholarship. Nonetheless, the study contributes to digital deviance literature by synthesizing multidisciplinary perspectives and proposing an integrated explanatory framework that bridges criminology, behavioral psychology, and technology acceptance paradigms.
Practical Implications
The findings provide valuable implications for policymakers, copyright enforcement agencies, educators, digital content providers, and cyber security practitioners. Educational interventions emphasizing digital ethics, moral awareness, and intellectual property literacy may be more effective than purely punitive approaches. Digital platforms and policymakers should consider behavioral drivers when designing anti-piracy strategies.
Originality/Value
This study represents one of the few comprehensive attempts to systematically integrate neutralization theory, rationalization mechanisms, and behavioral intention models in explaining digital file-sharing behavior. The proposed framework offers a foundation for future empirical and cross-cultural investigations into digital piracy and online deviance.

|
| Abstract |
This study examines the satisfaction of tribal beneficiaries towards government welfare schemes in Valparai Taluk with specific reference to selected socio-economic variables. The primary objective is to analyze the socio-economic profile of the tribal population and assess its association with satisfaction levels. The study is confined to Valparai Taluk and employs descriptive statistics and Chi-square test for data analysis. The findings indicate that overall satisfaction among tribal beneficiaries remains at a moderate level. The results establish that age, educational qualification, and occupation are significantly associated with satisfaction levels, whereas gender shows no significant association. Satisfaction is higher among younger, educated, and government-employed beneficiaries, while elderly, illiterate, and agriculture-dependent beneficiaries reported lower satisfaction. The study concludes that socio-economic factors significantly influence beneficiary satisfaction. It recommends that government agencies simplify application procedures, disseminate scheme information in local languages, and design age- and occupation-specific awareness programs to enhance outreach and improve satisfaction among tribal communities in Valparai Taluk

on-demand power management framework targeting generic ad hoc networks.
|
| Subject Category |
Computer Engineering
|
| Abstract |
Mobile communications have become very popular nowadays, especially with the advent of light-weight portable devices that made it convenient to perform many types of tasks while on the move. This has led to rapid advances in the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) field of research. Ad hoc networks are composed of mobile wireless nodes that are generally moving freely within a certain area. These nodes cooperate together in order to route traffic from a source to a specific destination. Several routing protocols have been devised to handle the routing duties within ad hoc networks. Battery energy is the most scarce resource on which the continued functionality of a mobile ad hoc network depends. Several schemes have been developed to address the issue of energy efficiency with varying degrees of success. Transmission power control is important because of the fundamental nature of the wireless network that it is interference limited. Transmission power control has the potential to increase a network's traffic carrying capacity, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the end-to-end delay. We start by postulating general design principles for power control based on the effect of transmit power on various performance metrics. These are used to design a set of protocols which attempt to optimize different performance metrics, as all the metrics cannot be simultaneously optimized in general. Some of these protocols have been implemented in the Linux kernel in an architecturally appropriate manner. Extensive testing was not possible due to the limitations of the current generation of hardware, and so performance results obtained through NS2 simulations are used to illustrate the potential benefits of the power control protocols. The wireless medium is a shared medium. Every transmission causes interference in the surrounding area. Successful reception of packets is possible only if this interference is within some limits. Thus, interference is a key feature of the wireless medium and fundamentally affects the traffic carrying capability of the wireless network. One of the effective mechanisms of controlling this interference is by controlling the transmission power.

| Subject Category |
Education
|
| Abstract |
The All-India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) was initiated in 2011, during
which data for the year 2010-11 was collected. This Survey was necessitated as none of the
source of data on Higher Education was giving complete picture of Higher Education in the
country. The Survey intended to cover all the Institutions in the country engaged in imparting
Higher Education. For the first time all the major Stakeholders in Higher Education, such as
University Grants Commission, All India Council for Technical Education, Medical Council of
India as well as State Governments participated in the data collection exercise. The entire
survey was conducted through Electronic Mode and a dedicated portal http://aishe.gov.in
was developed for this purpose. In the initial years, the list of institutions was prepared by
consulting State Government Departments, Ministries and Institutions.
In view of the immense utility of the Survey for providing comprehensive data, the
AISHE Surveys were continued over the years on an annual basis. Data on several parameters
such as teachers, student enrolment, programmes, examination results, infrastructure etc.
are being collected and indicators of educational development such as Institution Density,
Gross Enrolment Ratio, Pupil Teacher Ratio, Gender Parity Index, etc. are calculated from
the data collected through AISHE. These are useful in making informed policy decisions. It is
pertinent to mention that the results published in AISHE reports are based on the number of
registered institutions who have uploaded their information.

|
| Subject Category |
Commerce – Banking and Insurance
|
| Abstract |
Women farmers play a vital role in agricultural production while simultaneously managing household and caregiving responsibilities. Balancing these dual roles often creates physical, emotional, and social challenges that affect their work–life balance. The present study examines the influence of family support and family relationships on the work–life balance of women farmers. Primary data were collected from 120 women farmers using a structured interview schedule. The study employs descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to evaluate the impact of spousal support, emotional support, household cooperation, and participation in decision making on work–life balance. The findings reveal that women farmers with stronger family support experience lower stress levels, improved personal well-being, and better management of agricultural and domestic responsibilities. Emotional support and spousal cooperation emerged as major factors positively influencing work–life balance. The study further highlights that supportive family environments contribute significantly to women farmers’ productivity, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of family-centered approaches and gender-sensitive agricultural policies to improve the work–life balance and empowerment of women farmers in rural communities.

|
| Abstract |
The present paper discusses the effect of the use of screen time on cognitive and emotional results in adolescents with the sample size of 125 respondents. The study is intended to comprehend the effects of demographic and cognitive abilities on emotional well-being under the condition of growing digital exposure. The structured questionnaire was used to gather data and was analyzed in terms of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. The results show that cognitive skill is positively related to emotional outcomes in a significant way meaning that, the greater the cognitive engagement, the greater the emotional well-being. In contrast, demographic variables such as age and gender do not show a significant influence on emotional outcomes. The regression analysis also proves that cognitive skill is the most significant predictor, and explains moderate percentage of variance in levels of emotions. The paper points out the influence of the screen time is more about quality and the purpose than the time. Positive and constructive screen use can be used to boost cognitive development and consequently, emotional well being in adolescents. The results highlight the necessity of a moderate and attentive attitude towards screen time, as well as the proper parental and educational guidance. The research is an addition to the existing literature on digital behavior and development and provides practical implication on how to encourage healthy screen-based behaviors.

The Role of Innovative Product Labeling in Driving Impulse Buying Behaviour: A Comparative Study between Urban and Rural Consumers in Ahmedabad District
|
| Subject Category |
Department of Commerce & Management
|
| Abstract |
In highly competitive markets, product labeling has now developed from being an informative aspect alone to an effective sensory and psychological marketing technique. Recent developments in product labeling include use of QR codes, texture labeling, high-quality graphics, and smart labels, which play a significant role in inducing impulse purchase decisions in consumers. In this context, the current research paper explores the effect of labeling innovation on impulse purchase behavior in urban and rural consumer populations of the Ahmedabad district. This research follows a descriptive empirical cross-sectional survey methodology. The sample size for the research comprised 400 respondents, who were equally split between urban and rural consumer populations. Three independent variables of labeling innovation were selected: visual innovation, informational innovation, and structural innovation, while impulse purchasing behavior was considered the dependent variable.
Data analysis was carried out using Cronbach’s Alpha, correlation analysis, multiple regression, and moderated regression analysis techniques. It is apparent that innovative labeling is a critical variable determining impulse purchases among customers, with visual innovation having the greatest impact. Customers from urban areas had higher levels of response toward information innovations, including the use of QR codes and smart authentication tags, while rural customers had higher responses towards visually appealing packages and colorful packages. The research makes a significant contribution to the area of retail psychology because it applies Hawkins Stern’s Impulse Buying Theory to modern-day labeling practices in FMCG products in India. The results provide practical implications for business managers to customize their labeling schemes depending on behavioral patterns of different consumers. It is recommended that the use of neuromarketing and eye tracking techniques be applied in future studies.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Insights into Inflammatory, Microbiotic and Genetic Contributions
|
| Subject Category |
MEDICAL SCIENCES
|
| Abstract |
ABSTRACT:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by polyarthritis, synovial tissue hypertrophy, infiltration of leukocytes, destruction of cartilage, formation of pannus, and tenosynovitis. It affects approximately 0.5% to 1.0% of the global population, leading to prolonged inflammation that impacts all body organs. This condition can lead to associated complications, including rheumatoid lung disease, carditis, vasculitis, cachexia, anemia, accelerated atherosclerosis, myocardial and cerebrovascular diseases, lymphoma, osteoporosis, depression, physical disabilities, and increased cardiovascular mortality linked to RA symptoms. Early diagnosis and symptom management are essential to prevent severe outcomes. Severity is evaluated using the DAS28 scale and ACR/EULAR classification, as this long-lasting inflammatory disorder is often instigated by a mix of genetic factors and environmental triggers. The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies heightens the risk of recurrence from 13% to 32% within a year. The disease's pathogenesis involves autoreactive immune CD4+ T cells, B cells, macrophages, as well as inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines, and autoantibodies, with hormonal changes playing a role. Approximately 40% of severe RA patients are HLA-DR4 positive, commonly exhibiting complications like vasculitis, neuropathy (usually associated with vasculitis), serositis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary nodules, scleritis, glomerulonephritis, and Felty syndrome. Treatment typically involves conventional DMARDs like methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, and sulfasalazine, as well as synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (sDMARDs), including pan-JAK and JAK1/2 inhibitors, along with biological DMARDs (bDMARDs). The microbiome plays a role in the local and systemic inflammatory immune responses, and adjuvant therapy with probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus casei or Lactobacillus acidophilus can alleviate symptoms and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Genetic predispositions significantly influence RA, with heritable traits linked to specific genetic factors like HLA-DR and the "conserved shared epitope" (SE) in the third hypervariable region of the DRB1 chain being associated with a heightened risk of the disease. This review emphasizes the interlink between RA, in-relation with inflammation, microbiota and the genetic factors/contributors associated, for in-depth understanding and management of RA.

ROUTESENSE AI: DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF AN INTELLIGENT FRAMEWORK FOR SUPPLY CHAIN DELAY PREDICTION
|
| Subject Category |
|
| Abstract |
Efficient logistics management is a critical requirement in modern supply chain systems, where timely delivery, cost optimization, and operational reliability are essential. The increasing complexity of transportation networks, coupled with dynamic environmental factors such as traffic congestion, weather variations, and fluctuating demand, poses significant challenges to traditional logistics systems. Conventional approaches rely on static routing and manual planning, which lack the capability to adapt to real-time conditions and predict disruptions proactively. This paper presents ROUTESENSE AI, an intelligent logistics platform that integrates predictive analytics and route optimization to enhance delivery efficiency. The proposed system leverages historical and real-time data to forecast potential delivery delays using machine learning techniques. A Random Forest-based predictive model is employed to analyze key features such as distance, traffic conditions, and delivery timelines, enabling accurate delay prediction. Additionally, the system incorporates a dynamic route optimization mechanism that evaluates multiple parameters, including travel time, fuel consumption, and route congestion, to generate optimal delivery paths. The platform is implemented using Python, Django, and Scikit-learn, with a modular architecture that supports scalability and real-time monitoring. Experimental results demonstrate improved prediction accuracy and significant enhancement in routing efficiency compared to traditional systems. ROUTESENSE AI enables proactive decision-making, reduces operational costs, and improves customer satisfaction, thereby offering a scalable and intelligent solution for modern logistics management.

Digital Transformation in Banking and Trading: Regime-Based Analysis of Automated Quant Fund Performance in India
|
| Subject Category |
Finance
|
| Abstract |
Automated Quant Mutual Funds (AQMFs) are being increasingly adopted in the Indian Mutual Fund Industry due to the digital transformation that has changed the way banks operate and trade. The AQMFs can use Algorithmic Models, Data Analytics, and Rule-Based Asset Allocation to improve efficiency and reduce risk in dynamic markets. However, the performance behaviour of the AQMFs has been inadequately examined when comparing the performance across different levels of market volatility. Therefore, this research will examine the performance of the two quant-oriented mutual fund schemes using daily data from April 2023 to January 2026, relative to two key market indicators: the NIFTY 50 Index and the India VIX. To achieve the objective of this study, a two-state Markov Regime-Switching Regression Model with regime-dependent means and variances will be used to determine whether there are distinct low- and high-volatility market regimes and to measure the time-varying return and risk dynamics during each regime. The findings suggest that automated quant funds produce statistically significant positive returns with lower volatility when low volatility exists and significantly higher risk (and therefore, likely, insignificantly negative returns) when high volatility exists. It is also shown that the empirically derived regimes correspond well with both the level of the India VIX and the return behaviour of the Nifty 50. Therefore, this indicates the robustness of the analytical model employed in this research. As such, it appears that the use of regime-specific methods to evaluate the performance of digitized quantitative strategies provides a much more accurate representation of the true performance of these strategies relative to those generated from static models. This research also identifies a number of important implications for investors, fund managers and policy makers regarding the need for volatility sensitive and dynamic investment strategies as India's rapidly changing digital environment evolves.
