Chemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oil of Skimmia lauriola from Tehri Garhwal | Chapter 14 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 Aromatic herbs have long played an important role in the lives of Himalayan tribal peoples, providing both food and medicine. The chemical composition of the essential oils of Skimmia lauriola (leaves) growing in the Himalayan region of Northern Garhwal has been investigated. The rapidly growing plants were collected in Tehri Garhwal's Dhanolti district. Hydro distillation procedures were used to extract the essential oil, which was then analysed using GC/MS. There were 37 components found, accounting for 86.33 percent of the total oil. Linalool acetate (26.40%), L-linalool (14.18%), -phellendrene (9.03%), prejeijerene (7.06%), and -terpineol (7.06%) make up the majority of the oil (6.25 percent ), myrcene (3.89%) and geranyl acetate (3.89%) (2.18 percent ). The essential oil's antibacterial activity was tested. With an 8 mm zone of inhibition, Pseudomonas aurens had the maximum activity, followed by Escherichia coli with a 5 mm zone of inhibition, while Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureginosa were completely unaffected.

Scientific Investigation of Borreria hispida (Linn) – A Tamil Traditional Medicinal Plant against Hyperlipidemia Disease | Chapter 13 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 The goal of this study was to see how different extracts of the whole plant of Borreria hispida (Linn) affected lipid levels in high-fat rats. Borreria hispida (Linn) dry powder was extracted using a Soxhlet extractor with various solvents (PE, EA, and methanol), and the crude various extract was used for hypolipidemic activities. All of the extracts were confirmed to be safe up to 2000mg/kg in the acute toxicity investigation, hence one hundredth of this dose was used as the assessment dose. Borreria hispida (Linn) extracts (Petroleum ether, Ethyl acetate, and Methanol) were given to rats fed a high-fat diet at a dose of 200mg/kg/day to see if they may help lower cholesterol levels. Six groups of six animals were formed from a total of 36 animals. Group I was normal, Group II was a high-fat diet, Group III was a high-fat diet plus pet.ether extract (200 mg/kg b.wt), Group IV was a high-fat diet plus ethyl acetate extract (200 mg/kg b.wt), Group V was a high-fat diet plus methanol extract (200 mg/kg b.wt), and Group VI was a high-fat diet plus atorvastatin (1.2) The HFD fed group had a noticeable rise in body weight (p0.001), which was reduced by the administration of Borreria hispida methanolic extract (200 mg/kg). Total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, LDL-C, and VLDL-C levels were all higher in rats on a high-fat diet (group II). When compared to HFD rats, rats treated with a methanolic extract of Borreria hispida (200mg/kg/day) showed a substantial (p0.001) decrease in body weight, plasma and tissue total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, plasma LDL-C and VLDL-C, as well as an increase in plasma HDL-C. (group II). The other two extract treatment groups did not provide similar results. Borreria hispida methanolic extract may protect against atherosclerosis and lower the atherogenic index compared to other extract treatment groups. This discovery gives some biochemical evidence for the use of a methanolic extract of the whole plant of Borreria hispida to prevent atherosclerosis and lower the atherogenic index, consequently bolstering the use of Borreria hispida in the management of atherosclerosis on a local level.

Experimental Investigation Highlighting Performance and Emission Characteristics of Algae Bio-Fuelled Diesel Engine | Chapter 9 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 The rising usage of fossil fuels has prompted a search for alternate energy sources in recent years. Microalgae has emerged as one of the potential sources of biofuels from algae, and it is favoured since it is environmentally friendly and sustainable. Spirulina and chlorella microalgae oil was extracted using a pyrolysis process at 350°C, and the bio-oil properties were studied. When compared to spirulina bio-oil, the viscosity and density of chlorella bio-oil were extremely similar to ordinary diesel fuel. The experiment was carried out for B10 mix for spirulina and chlorella algae bio-fuel in a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine under various loading circumstances. CL10D90's maximum output power at 100 percent load was approximately identical to that of diesel fuel, and its specific fuel consumption was virtually identical to that of diesel. CL10D90 has a 4 percent greater brake thermal efficiency than SP10D90 and a 2% higher brake thermal efficiency than diesel, as well as a higher combustion characteristic of peak heat release rate. At full load, HC and CO emissions are reduced, whereas NOX emissions are slightly increased. The experiment's findings show that using CL10D90 bio-oil in a diesel engine is a viable alternative.

Investigating the Effect of Temperature and Phase on Properties of Metal Pseudobrookite | Chapter 7 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 Spin glass behaviour, thermal microcracking, magnetic roughness, and high resistivity are all characteristics of iron titanate, a metal pseudobrookite. Pseudobrookite is a polycrystalline pseudobrookite that has a wide range of uses. The electrical resistivity and dielectric properties of pure iron titanates prepared with the rutile form of titanium oxide and sintered at two temperatures, 1000oC and 1250oC, as well as pure iron titanates prepared with the anatase form of titanium oxide and sintered at 1250oC, are compared in this paper as a function of temperature and relaxation spectra. The iron titanates are manufactured with A.R. grade oxides and a traditional ceramic process. The formation of a single phase is confirmed by XRD and FTIR studies. All of the samples are pseudobrookites with orthorhombic unit cells in terms of structure. For the pseudobrookite made from rutile TiO2, study of the relaxation spectra reveals the existence of space-charge, which increases with sintering temperature. According to the research, pseudobrookite produced from anatase TiO2 has worse dielectric and electric properties at lower frequencies (1 kHz) and exhibits substantial hysteresis, indicating delayed microcrack healing. The impact of structural alterations on resistivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss are examined.

Study on the Efficiency of Metal Modified Bio–Nanocomposite Bead for Removal via Retention of Some Anthraquinone Dye | Chapter 6 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 Batch adsorption tests were done with iron(III) loaded cellulose nanocomposite bead and alizarin red S, of various concentrations, from an aqueous environment in order to examine the efficacy of metal modified bio–nanocomposite bead for removal via retention of anionic dye. The bead's spectral and surface characteristics were studied. Using response surface methods and a full factorial and central composite design, the process was optimised for variables (pH, contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, and temperature). At an ideal pH of 3.0, a dose of 2.0 gdm-3, and a shaking period of 45 minutes, equivalent to a dye concentration of 100 mgdm-3 at 303 K, the maximum adsorption of 97 percent was recorded. In a second order polynomial equation, the influence of the relevant variables was associated with the extent of dye adsorption. In the design space, 3D response surfaces and 2D contour plots depicted the significant variables' reciprocal interactions. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order kinetics provided a better description of the adsorption. The reaction was endothermic (H°, 71.62 kJmol-1), spontaneous (-G°, 48.19 kJmol-1), and viable (S°, 0.284 Jmol-1K-1). For at least five operations, the adsorbent can be regenerated using NaOH (10.0.10-2 M) and recycled for reuse.

Study on Biosorption of Divalent ion onto Treated Prosopis Juliflora Bark from Aqueous Solutions: An Approach towards Isothermal and Statistical Analysis | Chapter 3 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 The current study focuses on the use of Prosopis juliflora bark for Cu adsorption (II). To improve sorption effectiveness, raw Prosopis juliflora bark is treated with 0.1N hydrochloric acid. Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis, Bruner-Emmet-Teller, and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda studies were used to characterise TPJB. The maximum amount adsorbed was found to be 43.11 mg/g (97.4%) during experimental verification for Cu(II)- TPJB in Batch mode under operating factors such as particle sizes/doses of the material upon a range of initial Cu(II) concentrations at different temperatures, agitation time, and pH values system, where the maximum amount adsorbed was found to be 43.11 mg/g (97.4%). Its efficiency was three times higher under optimal conditions than Ce levels reported by other researchers. Column studies are used to quantify treated Prosopis juliflora bark, and 98 percent Cu(II) removal is detected. For the Cu(II)-TPJB system, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Tempkin isothermal curves at various initial concentrations are plotted; the straight line fit is optimal for the Freundlich model. The effect of various parameters on the reaction of treated Prosopis juliflora bark in trapping Cu(II) ions is statistically confirmed using SPSS software, indicating good correlation.

Study on Virtual Screening of Treated Pistachio vera Shell Powder as a Potential Sorbent in Sequestering Ubiquitous Divalent Metal Ions from Aqueous Matrices | Chapter 2 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 Water contamination caused by poisonous heavy metals such as Hg(II), Cr(VI), Cd(II), and Pb(II) ions, among others, has gotten a lot of attention recently. Because of their toxicity, accumulation, and biomagnification, increasing quantities of heavy metals in the ecosystem poses a serious health risk. Lead pollution of drinking water is a serious concern due to lead pipes, plating units, and other sources. A firm covering surrounds the nut kernels in the pistachio vera shell (PVS). The current study examines the feasibility of powdered Pistachio vera shell (PVSP) - a bio waste - in sequestering Pb(II) ions after being treated with 0.1N HCl / NaOH to improve sorption efficacy (TPVSP). For material characterization, SEM, FTIR, and microscopic studies are recorded. The sorbent material's competence is experimentally verified in Batch mode under a variety of operating conditions, including particle size and dosage of TPVSP, agitation time interval between TPVSP and Pb(II) ions, initial concentrations of Pb(II) ions, pH of the adsorption medium, effects of cations, anions, and co-ions, and temperature influence on the Pb(II) – TPVSP system. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer is used to determine the residual amounts of Pb(II) ions in aqueous solutions (SHIMADZU-AA-6200). The adsorption capacity is described using the Langmuir and Freundlich models. To ensure the quantitative estimate of TPVSP, column experiments are undertaken, in which 40 mg TPVSP at a flow rate of 100 ml/10 mins removes 99 percent of Pb(II).

Investigation on the Sequestration of Divalent Metal Ions Employing Animal Waste | Chapter 1 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 Heavy metal ions are harmful to the environment when their quantities reach certain limits. Because of their ubiquitous use in industries, they have received a lot of attention in terms of reducing and eliminating them. To chelate these toxicants in environmental samples, it is important to produce unique materials in the environment. The current study seeks to investigate the sorption capacity of Goat Hooves, a no cost material, in the process of removing Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous medium, based on the requirement for generating zero cost sorbent. After suitable treatment (TGH), goat hooves are submitted to Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy investigations to identify functional groups and describe surface morphology, respectively. Batch equilibration tests are carried out to see how different operating parameters, such as particle size, dosage, beginning concentration, contact time, and pH, affect the final product. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms are used to model the acquired data. Among the other generated models, the Langmuir plot had greater linearity, indicating monolayer adsorption, which was followed by Pb(II) – TGH and Cd(II) – TGH. Furthermore, when applied to the optimal circumstances of the batch trials, statistical tool analyses using SPSS 20 software revealed a strong correlation value.

Study on Hartree-Fock Equation for a Non-Neutral Plasma of Spin Zero Ions in a Paul Trap| Chapter 11 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

 The quantum theory of fields may study the properties of non-neutral plasma in a Paul trap, which is a quantum system made up of identical ions contained in the trap. Experimental and theoretical investigations have focused on undetectable identical particle systems, such as electron gas in metals, with the goal of better understanding their properties. The Hartree-Fock equation of electron gas, a fermion quantum plasma, is used to describe it theoretically. The method of "equation of motion" and the use of the Dirac field have been established. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to use the complex scalar field to develop the Hartree-Fock equation for a non-neutral plasma of identical spin zero ions at high density and low temperature in a Paul trap.

Evaluation of Security Schemes: State of Art in Wireless Communication| Chapter 10 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

At 2.35 m, a simulation of high-resolution absorption spectra of carbon monoxide (CO) and other interfering gases was performed. The study's major goal was to determine the optimum CO absorption lines for spectral analysis of this molecule at 2.35 m in complicated gas mixtures like exhaled air with the best sensitivity, selectivity, and detection speed. Several CO absorption lines have been developed. The optimum method for laser-based spectrum analysis of CO in complicated gas mixtures under high humidity and high CO2 concentrations has been determined. The maximum sensitivity and selectivity of CO analysis in the near-infrared spectral range can be obtained by measuring resonance absorption in these lines. To prevent unauthorised access to these networks, authentication procedures have been established. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access are two of them (WPA). These protocols, on the other hand, have been found to be readily hacked, for example, due to the use of a weak initialization vector, which causes the generated hashes to collide. This involves the creation of more secure techniques for safeguarding data in transit. The use of light fidelity technology is the most recent endeavour in safeguarding wireless data propagation. An empirical review of these security technologies is presented in this work.

The Big Bang Never Happened: Conclusive Proof | Chapter 8 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

 The prevailing assumption for nearly a century has been that the universe was created by a big bang singularity. This speculative occurrence is an impossibility that has only become a well-established belief due to a basic scientific inaccuracy that few have questioned until now. This article shows why the universe could not have started from a singularity, that galaxies are not receding from the Milky Way, and that we are not on the verge of colliding with other galaxies. Andromeda, of course. Edwin Hubble made a number of errors, including incorrect assumptions and major miscalculations. The Big Bang Theory assumes that the cosmos appeared out of nowhere. This concept challenges physics as well as logic, the science of thought and reasoning. Nothing can be the root of a problem. “The concept that there might be nothing that preceded something offends reason itself,” Aristotle is said to have said.

Real-Time Monitoring of Carbon Monoxide Production and Utilization by Plants with Tunable Diode Laser| Chapter 7 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

 CO in the microcosm of some plants was studied using a carbon monoxide analyzer based on tunable diode lasers. The designed analyzer has a high sensitivity (at 5 ppb) and close to 100 percent selectivity to water vapours and CO2, allowing for real-time CO monitoring in a plant microcosm. One of the goals of the research was to show that using spectral gas analysis based on tunable diode laser spectroscopy, it was possible to examine CO generation and usage by plants. CO production and release into the environment were measured in our in-vitro experiment. early stages of plant development were discovered in the atmosphere (stage of germination and growth of seedlings wheat, cucumbers and colza). When examining the CO levels in the microcosm of the produced plants, a high CO absorption from the surrounding air was detected.

Study of Controllers for an Isolated Full Bridge Boost Converter Topology in Fuel Cell Applications: A Comparative Approach | Chapter5 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

In recent years, renewable energy sources have become a fascinating study topic, and fuel cells have emerged as a viable alternative for generating power to address the energy crisis. This sparked interest in power conditioning systems, which connect the fuel cell to the grid. Among the several converter topologies, the isolated full bridge boost converter (IFBC) is the most suitable for fuel cell applications. This paper proposes a Predictive Switching Modulator (PSM) Control for the converter architecture, and its performance is compared to Linear Peak Control. Non-Linear Carrier Control (NLCC) and Current Mode Control (LPCM) (NLC). Three controllers (LPCM, NLC, and PSM) are used to operate the chosen IFBC converter, and simulation is performed using MATLAB with a fuel cell as the input source. The three controllers are then evaluated in terms of time response parameters, with the suggested PSM control emerging as the superior controller for obtaining quick responses while overcoming uncertainties and maintaining steady state stability.

Study on Time Dilation and Length Contraction for the Amateur Enthusiast: A Spacetime Oddity| Chapter 3 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

 Special relativity is without a doubt one of the cornerstones of modern physics, where notions like time dilation and length contraction play a subtle influence in numerous elements of nature. The approach to comprehending these occurrences is typically cloaked under intricate and difficult-to-understand mathematical analysis, leaving a rookie student disoriented and puzzled. We strive to explain and arrive at in this lecture notes. To make it easier for high school students and amateur fans to understand, these topics are presented utilising physically intuitive approaches and elementary mathematics without the use of higher mathematical knowledge.

Role of Biochemical Parameter in Synthetic Biomolecular Network of Escherichia coli | Chapter 2 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

 With the toggle switch paradigm, the role of biochemical parameters (such as the rate constant of repressor expression) in determining the type of stability for altering gene regulation in Escherichia coli is well established. The resilience of the system improves with higher order cooperativity of promoter repression, which helps to achieve bistability in the event of weaker promoters. The histogram depicts the abrupt transition from a low to a high level. Two methodologies have been used to investigate the release of protein concentration with time. The effect of noise is investigated, and it is discovered that noise varies with system size. The level of noise is also measured.

The Cognition Theory: Human-Brain ArtificialIntelligence Matrix | Chapter 1 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

 Artificial Intelligence in the Human Brain Matrix is a new technology that aims to connect the human brain with the machine in order to enable the human brain to perform defined functions even if it is unable to do so, such as performing vision in the case of blindness, hearing in the case of deafness, motion in the case of paralysis, and many other functions. This technology will be based on my Cognition Theory, which proposes that the entire cognition process might be treated quantum-mechanically. Quantum mechanics is a fundamental physics theory that deals with the description of physical processes at the atomic scale. as well as subatomic particles The action potential, which may be defined as a bundle of electrons in its simplest form; sort of like subatomic particles, mediates the interactions within the neurological system. As a result, this phenomenon occurs on a scale that Quantum mechanics can adequately describe. The process of cognition begins when a neuron delivers data to the brain to be processed and concludes when an effector responds. Because of the dual nature of the particles, the data "action potential" is a current of particles that may be characterised quantum-mechanically as a wave-impulse. Neurons are a network of entangled cells in both conventional and quantum mechanics. When the action potential affects the potential of the neurons, quantum mechanical potential wells and barriers are generated. Through quantum mechanical tunnels, the action potential precisely transfers in and out of the neurons. Although the form of energy before and after processing differs, the amount of energy is always conserved. The brain and effector will be entangled during action potential processing because the neurons are entangled during action potential transmission. The effector's data cognition must be discrete single-valued data from its self-adjoint matrix, which is entangled with the data.

A Systemic Assessment Framework for Measuring Blended Achievement in Transnational Schools as Collaborative Learning Communities | Chapter 13 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 Education in public and private schools, as well as higher education institutions, was undergoing major methodological changes at the beginning of the twenty-first century, transitioning from large residential to online, blended, and wireless teaching and learning. Assessment, on the other hand, despite being recognised as the backbone of educational systems and the primary operating mechanism of classroom educational programmes, is either overlooked or done infrequently, as in the case of diagnostic needs and assessments for special education. formative evaluations Furthermore, online schooling typically lacks the benefits of face-to-face communication, education, counselling, mentoring, and follow-up on students' learning triumphs (OLS). As a result, OLS must adopt a suitable systemic strategy to first deliver curricula, instruction, and learning in more rational ways; second, address the assessment gap that exists in contemporary schooling; and third, coach blended learning students toward their achievement goals. The holistic assessment approach described in this study for assessing blended accomplishment in international schools as collaborative learning communities is meant to serve a higher purpose than simply measuring blended achievement.

Determining Organization of Educational Lecture Video Based on Presentation’s Contents | Chapter 12 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 Higher education institutions have made videos an integral part of their curriculum. It can be incorporated into any traditional course. Despite the fact that video lectures are an engaging educational resource for students, they lack access to the needed content. We won't be able to see the given piece of video unless we know where it is. This chapter's major goal is to automatically split an educational lecture video into distinct relevant chunks, which are subsequently presented to students in a tailored manner for easy navigation. Based on language similarities across the various frames of the lecture video, this technique determines the topics being addressed by the teacher. Fundamental In every instructional video, the challenge is to provide a semantic query and effectively retrieve relevant content from a long video. If pupils have access to a proper browsing facility, they will be able to do effective searches. Instead of a presenter from the projected electronic slides, our technique focuses on the slides. The method seeks to use the video streams acquired from the camera during the lecture to turn the slides into images after performing slide segmentation. The titles and subheadings on these independent images will be used to organise the instructional video. The organisation and segmentation of technical lecture films for educational purposes. to make slideshow modifications not only organise video information by topic, but also make synchronisation of video, audio, and electronic slides easier for indexing, browsing, and retrieval at a later time. The goal of this project is to provide learners with quick access to video information. The content page at the beginning of the book and the index page at the conclusion of the book make it simple to find a certain page or paragraph in the text books. In a similar vein, a method to extract text from presentation slides is required for lecture video. The primary goal of this research is to come up with effective and efficient automated methods for segmenting lecture films into subjects and subtopics. to make slideshow modifications not only organise video information by topic, but also make synchronisation of video, audio, and electronic slides easier for indexing, browsing, and retrieval at a later time.

Investigating the Effectiveness of the Educational Qualification Diploma Program in Rising Selfconfidence among the Trained Teachers at the College of Arts and Humanities at A’Sharqiyah University in the Sultanate of Oman | Chapter 9 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 Many scientists have studied the notion of self-confidence, whether in the psychological, educational, economic, social, or other crucial and diverse sectors. Self-confidence has a critical role in motivation, affect, and social relationships, according to philosophers, writers, educators, and, of course, psychologists [1]. Self-assurance is the fortitude to know oneself, believe in oneself, and act on one's convictions. Self-confidence is defined as a good attitude toward oneself and the world that leads to daring behaviours motivated by a sense of self-respect [2]. The research helped to validate a number of goals, including determining the levels of self-control. teachers who have been trained This study also sought to determine the impact of educational qualification programmes on student performance, as well as the impact of educational qualification programmes on self-confidence among educated teachers (students). With the help of (70) postgraduate diploma education student-teachers, the study looked into self-confidence. After completing their undergraduate degrees in various institutions, these trainee-teachers "students" enrolled in the College of Arts and Humanities at A'Sharqiyah University in Oman to pursue an educational certification diploma. The researchers employed Sidney Shrauger's self-confidence scale, which was developed in 1990. Dr. Adel Abdullah of the Faculty of Education at the University of Zagazig in the Arab Republic of Egypt amended, revised, and translated it into Arabic, and scholars examined it appropriate to the Omani environment. According to the findings of the current study, trainee-teachers in the educational qualification diploma programme have a poor level of self-confidence. As a result, those in charge of this programme decided to conduct individual personal interviews with the trainees (students) in order to assess their degree of self-confidence and provide the necessary support to help them improve it.

An Empirical Study on Adults’ Engagement in Learning in Literacy and Job Acquisition | Chapter 8 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 The relationship between adult literacy engagement and job acquisition is investigated in this research. Adults engage and remain in learning activities in literacy educational environments because they are primarily focused on job acquisition. Adult learners who complete literacy activities should graduate within a job, according to our hypothesis. To gather data, a mixed method approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies. According to the findings, 90 percent of adult learners completed their learning activities because they graduated with a profession that they picked and are now performing. In conclusion, it is obvious that when adult learners perceive that learning activities lead to exercise jobs, they are not only driven to learn, but they also persevere because their future livelihood depends on it.

Study on Structural Relationships among the Factors Affecting Happiness of Adolescent in OECD Countries: Application of QCA Method | Chapter 7 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 The goal of this research is to look into the causal linkages between major educational parameters and teenage happiness, as well as to suggest policy recommendations for OECD countries looking to improve their levels of adolescent happiness. The HSBC score of adolescent happiness in OECD nations was chosen as an indicator, and a variety of independent variables were included in the analysis, such as per capita GDP and per capita educational expenditure amount. The QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) approach was employed for the analysis. The application of QCA in teenage happiness studies has been infrequent, and there are likely to be conceptual and paradigmatic barriers to its usage. In some cases, adoption is an option. According to the data, TEPC*GDP*PUPTEA, tee*GDP*PRIVATEXP, and tee*tepc*gdp*privatexp are three major elements that contribute to teenagers' high levels of happiness in OECD countries. In other words, while a few more steps are needed to arrive at a more compact formulation, the answer in this study provides six configurations and three prime implicants. The first prime implicant is TEPC (high total per capita education expenditure)*GDP (high per capita GDP)*PUPTEA (high total per capita education expenditure)*PUPTEA (high total per capita education expenditure)*PUPTEA (high total per capita education expenditure)*PUPTEA (high total per capita education expenditure) (high ratio of students to teaching staff). tee is the second suspect (low total expenditure on education) *GDP (high per capita income) gdp)*PRIVATEXP gdp)*PRIVATEXP gdp)*PRI (high ratio of private source expenditure on education to gdp). Finally, tee(low total education expenditure)*tepc(low total per capita education expenditure)*gdp(low per capita gdp)*privatexp is the third implicant (low ratio of private source expenditure on education to gdp). It is critical to emphasise that the findings presented in this study are merely indicative and should be seen in context. Instead of being a limitation of QCA, alternative causal configurations are appropriate for the complexity of teenagers' enjoyment.

A Case Study ˝Post˝ of Serbia: The Impact of Intranet Design on Efficient Functioning of E-Business| Chapter 6 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 E-business is playing a larger and more important role in today's modern business environment. In many firms, regardless of their activity or size, electronic communication has become an unavoidable part of business processes. This entails the development and extension of effective external electronic communication with customers, as well as the strengthening of internal electronic communication among employees. This study is an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of applying the intranet in the company ˝Post˝ of Serbia. Basis of the research were the employees in ˝Post˝ of Serbia, in the region of Srem. The purpose of this paper was to determine the relationship In the company Post of Serbia, there is a link between intranet design and efficient functioning. The existing intranet design, according to study and analysis of the results acquired, does not give its genuine applicability, diminishing its critical role in supporting the company's e-business. The importance of topic research is highlighted by the fact that Serbia is a country in transition, with market liberalisation having a significant impact on the operation of public services. Scientific data gathered through research on the title issue could be valuable in the management of public services in Serbia and other transitional nations.

Predicting Developmental Degrees of Music Expression in Early Childhood by Machine Learning Classifiers with 3D Motion Captured Body Movement Data: A Recent Study | Chapter 5 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 Researchers have continued to be intrigued by the interaction between a child's developmental level of music and their musical output. Currently, one notable part will be to study such connection using a quantitative technique and to discover some predicted methodology to statistically repeat such interaction. The author of this work collected developmental features of musical expressions in early infancy from viewpoints of aspects of body movement and applied a machine learning-based classification algorithm to those feature quantities obtained from the participant children. In two studies, classification models were applied to the feature quantity for 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds. capture. A three-way nonrepeated ANOVA was used to highlight developmental degree and extract feature quantity, and a statistically significant difference in the movement data analysed of the moving average of distance such as the pelvis and right hand, the moving average of acceleration such as the right hand, and the movement smoothness of the right foot was observed. After letting classifiers train with categorical variables of developmental degree evaluated by the author with simultaneously recorded video, the author classified the developmental degree of children's musical expression using machine learning classifiers using feature quantities of motion capture data. The report of the author Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network is the best classifier, and Boosted Trees is the second best. The sensitivity result revealed that pelvic movement was closely associated to the degree of musical development. In addition to a thorough examination of kinetic feature amounts or an increase in training sample data, classifiers such as deep learning and others might be considered to improve classification accuracy.

Psychological Factors Influencing Academic Achievement among Secondary School Students in Shamva District of Mashonaland Central Province in Zimbabwe: A Recent Study| Chapter 4 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 In the Shamva district, the study looked into the psychological aspects that influence secondary school adolescents' academic achievement. The study's design is ex-post-facto. The present study sample is made up of 300 people who were chosen at random and on their own. Two standardised measures were used to collect data: the "Psychological Factors Assessment Questionnaire" and the "Economic Achievement Test." The dependability of the instruments was 0.91 and 0.86, respectively. Two hypotheses were developed for the inquiry. The acquired data was analysed using an independent t-test. The findings of the data analysis revealed that school fear has a genetic component. Achievement motivation, on the other hand, had no effect on children's academic development. Based on the findings of this study, the researchers recommended that teachers, parents, counsellors, and school authorities be made aware of the existing link between self-concept, anxiety, achievement motivation, and focus of control and academic accomplishment. This would enable them to provide secondary school students, teachers, parents, school officials, and the community with better, more useful, and relevant educational, vocational, personal, and social services, as well as recognise and appreciate the presence of individual differences among students and how to best reinforce them.

An Analysis of Factors Affecting use of Computer Technology in Rural Secondary Schools by ODL Students Who are Secondary School Teachers in Mbire District of Mashonaland Central Province of Zimbabwe| Chapter 3 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 7

 Incorporating ICT into teaching and learning has been shown to boost students' academic achievement. Its advantages are felt by people from all walks of life. Despite its importance, ODL students who must utilise ICT in their university studies as well as in teaching and learning tend to value its implementation more. As a result, the goal of this research was to find out what factors influence ODL students who are studying at an Open and Distance Learning university while still teaching in secondary schools. A descriptive survey was used in the research. design, as well as a mixed-methods approach The study included 78 ODL students who are secondary school teachers as participants. A combination of systematic random sampling and selective sampling was used to choose the 40 respondents and 5 participants. Data was gathered and created through questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Frequency tables, graphs, and descriptive statistics were used to provide quantitative data, while transcripts and themes were used to present qualitative data. Material and infrastructure resources are in short supply, according to the report. The lecturers and facilitators lack the requisite knowledge. Computers are used by teachers. to improve their professional work in a limited way Teachers' opinions toward using computers in the classroom have an impact on the innovation's implementation. Due to financial constraints, schools are finding it difficult to outsource computer equipment and create computer laboratories. As a result, the study recommends that ODL students attend in-service training sessions or even take short computer courses. Outdated computers must be replaced with contemporary, higher-capacity PCs. The government should fund the acquisition and construction of infrastructure for schools. Staff development in schools and the community on strategies to generate cash is required.
