 Abstract

Abstract Children with hearing impairment often experience significant challenges in the development of speech and language skills due to limited auditory input, which affects vocabulary acquisition, sentence formation, and functional communication. Sight word learning has emerged as an effective instructional approach that supports visual recognition of frequently used words and facilitates meaningful language use. The present study aims to examine the effectiveness of a sight word learning approach in enhancing the speech and language skills of children with hearing impairment. A structured intervention program incorporating visual cues, repetition, flashcards, picture-word association, and functional language activities was implemented over a specified period. A pre-test and post-test research design was adopted to assess improvements in receptive and expressive language skills. The findings revealed a notable improvement in word recognition, vocabulary usage, sentence construction, and functional communication abilities among the participants following the intervention. The results suggest that sight word instruction plays a significant role in strengthening speech and language development in children with hearing impairment by promoting visual learning and consistent language exposure. The study highlights the importance of integrating sight word learning strategies into speech and language intervention programs to support effective communication and academic readiness in children with hearing impairment.

 Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of three Artificial Intelligence (AI) based models -- Random Forest, XG Boost, and a Hybrid Ensemble Model (Random Forest + XG Boost) -- for detecting network threats. The NSL-KDD dataset was used to train and evaluate the models. The study aims to improve the accuracy, precision, and reliability of intrusion detection systems by combining ensemble learning methods. Each model was tested under the same preprocessing and training conditions, and performance metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score were analyzed. Results showed that the Hybrid Ensemble model achieved the best performance with an accuracy of 99.45%, proving that combining Random Forest and XG Boost enhances overall detection capability and reduces false alarms.

 Abstract

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Smartphones have become an integral part of daily life among medical students due to academic and recreational demands. Prolonged and excessive smartphone use is associated with poor posture, repetitive movements, and sustained neck flexion, which may contribute to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), particularly affecting the neck and upper extremities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among medical students due to smartphone use. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 132 medical students aged 18-25 years at Motiwala College of Physiotherapy using purposive sampling. Outcome measures included the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. RESULTS: The study revealed a high prevalence of mild neck disability (90.2%), while 75.8% of participants showed no upper limb disability. CONCLUSION: Excessive smartphone use is strongly associated with neck-related musculoskeletal disorders among medical students, highlighting the need for early preventive and ergonomic interventions.

 Abstract

competence among college students. Employing an ex-post facto design, the study collected data from 600 college students across three districts of Punjab, India, using standardized scales for student engagement and academic competence. Descriptive, differential, correlational, and regression analyses were conducted. Results indicate a moderate to high level of student engagement and academic competence among students. Significant differences were observed based on gender, locale, and academic stream, with male, urban, and arts students showing higher engagement. Academic competence demonstrated a significant positive correlation with student engagement (r=0.53r=0.53), explaining 28.3% of its variance. The study concludes that academic competence is a critical predictor of student engagement, highlighting the need for educational strategies that enhance both academic skills and active participation in learning.

 Abstract

This study was designed to study the classroom performance of secondary school teachers in relation to their career commitment and job satisfaction. The sample consists of 900 secondary school teachers of three districts of H.P. Mean, median, mode, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis were computed from the tabulated data to examine the distribution pattern of classroom performance, career commitment, and job satisfaction. Pearson's Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the relationships between classroom performance and career commitment, as well as between classroom performance and job satisfaction.The results depicted that the correlation coefficient value between Classroom performance and career commitment is computed to be 0.047 which is less than the critical value. This value is found to be not significant at a 0.05 level of significance. It reveals that there is no significant association between classroom performance and the career commitment of secondary school teachers. Results also shows that the correlation coefficient value between Classroom performance and its dimensions and job satisfaction is computed to be 0.157 which is greater than the critical value. This value is found to be significant at a 0.01 level of significance. It reveals that there is a positive and significant correlation between classroom performance and the job satisfaction of secondary school teachers

 Abstract

Adolescence represents a critical developmental phase characterized by rapid physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes. In the Indian educational system, this period coincides with intense academic pressure driven by competitive examinations, parental expectations, and future career concerns. As a result, a growing number of school students experience stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and declining motivation toward learning. Although sports and physical activities are formally included in school curricula, they are often undervalued when compared to academic instruction. This imbalance raises concerns about students' holistic development and long-term well-being. This study investigates the role of sports participation in improving academic achievement, mental well-being, and classroom engagement among CBSE school students (Adani Vidya Mandir, Ahmedabad) from Classes VI to XII. A mixed-method research design was used, involving a structured 30-item student questionnaire, analysis of academic records, and teacher observations. The study draws on principles from cognitive science, educational psychology, and neuroscience, which explain how physical activity enhances brain function, emotional regulation, and learning capacity. The findings show that students who regularly participate in sports demonstrate lower stress levels, higher self-confidence, improved concentration, better peer relationships, and more positive academic behaviours. These students also show greater classroom attentiveness, improved time management, and higher motivation toward learning compared to students with minimal physical activity. The study concludes that sports are not merely extracurricular activities but a powerful educational tool that supports both academic success and student well-being. Integrating structured and regular sports programs into the daily routine of CBSE schools can strengthen students' mental resilience, improve learning outcomes, and promote holistic development, in alignment with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and CBSE's focus on competency-based education.
