"A study to assess the effectiveness of Gestalt group therapy on psychological well being among Alcohol Dependence Syndrome patients admitted in selected De-addiction centers, Dewas". The objectives of the study were,: To assess the pre-test and post-test level of psychological well being among alcohol dependence syndrome patients in experimental group and control group. To find out the effectiveness of gestalt group therapy on psychological well being among alcohol dependence syndrome patients in experimental group. To compare the pretest and post-test level of psychological well being among alcohol dependence syndrome patients in experimental group and control group. To associate the post test level of psychological wellbeing among alcohol dependence syndrome patients in experimental group and control group with their selected demographic variables like age, education, religion, occupation, family monthly income, marital status, number of children, dietary pattern, area of living, duration of alcohol consumption and duration of stay. Method: Quantitative research approach was used. Quasi experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was adopted for this study. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples. Result: In experimental group the pre-test mean value of psychological well being was 145.6 with the standard deviation of 28.19. In experimental group the post-test mean value of psychological well being was 182.2 with the standard deviation of 33.97. The calculated 't' value was 4.63 In control group the pre-test mean value of psychological well being was 42.5 with standard deviation of 26.90. In control group the post-test mean value of psychological well being was 143.5 with standard deviation of 25.90. The calculated 't' value was 3.12. There was a significant association between the post test level of psychological wellbeing among alcohol dependence syndrome patients in experimental group with the demographic variables like age, religion, family monthly income, marital status and dietary pattern at p<0.05 level and there was a no significant association between the post test level of psychological wellbeing among alcohol dependence syndrome patients in experimental group with the selected demographic variables like education, occupation, number of children, area of living, duration of alcohol consumption and duration of stay at p<0.05 level. Conclusion: From the result of the study it was concluded that practicing gestalt group therapy to the alcohol dependence syndrome patient was very effective in improving the level of psychological well being.

 Abstract

This study aims to explore the effects of blended learning on B.Ed. students' achievement and attitudes. The researchers selected 200 students studying at JIMS School of Education and MRN School of Education using purposive sampling. The findings of the study indicate that there are significant differences among the instructional approaches in terms of achievement test scores, favouring blended learning. This suggests that students who experienced blended learning performed better on the achievement test compared to those who did not. Blended learning is an instructional approach that combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online learning components. It typically involves a mix of in-person classroom sessions and online activities, such as virtual discussions, multimedia presentations, or interactive modules. The combination of these methods allows for flexibility, personalized learning experiences, and increased student engagement. The findings of this study suggest that implementing blended learning in B.Ed. programs can positively impact students' achievement. It may be beneficial for educators and institutions to consider incorporating blended learning approaches into their teaching practices to enhance student outcomes and foster positive attitudes towards learning.

 Abstract

Women contributed significantly to the development of society and the economy by upholding a variety of standards, including those around procreation, home responsibilities, and productive endeavors. The majority of developing nations, however, discriminate against women based on their gender. Based on their standing in relation to other family members, women who live in the same home are subject to a number of constraints. As a result, women's power and options are constrained not just by their unique traits but also by the outside forces that have an impact on them, such as constitutional rights, societal norms, and domestic circumstances (Bolt, V. J. a. B., Kate,2003). Even though the Indian Constitution guarantees women equal rights, cultural and sociological barriers prevent Indian women from taking advantage of this right (Sen, A. ,2001). The key causes include financial dependency, the population's gender ratio, health state, pay disparities, and a lesser level of involvement in household decision-making. While the status of women has improved over the past 20 years, societal and institutional barriers continue to limit the opportunities for gender equality in areas including job, caregiving, and domestic freedoms (Stewart, S ,2004). In India, the government and non-governmental organizations are working to facilitate and improve the opportunities available to women by focusing on empowerment strategies to bring women from a condition of dependency to a state of independence. This paper is an attempt to understand the concept of Women empowerment and how the Self Help Groups as an agency used to uplift the status of women. It will also focus on the role of National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) in empowering the women in Himachal Pradesh.

 Abstract

This study raised two pertinent research questions: Has the use of POS filled in as a source of income for entrepreneurs? How do young people in Abia State see the government's contribution to the growth of entrepreneurship in the state? The study was anchored on economic survival theory. The study discovered a significant correlation between young people's perceptions of the role of the government in entrepreneurship development and their entrepreneurial intentions. It was also discovered that entrepreneurial creativity has a positive impact on economic activities, with a correlation of about 84% between the use of POS and the source of income for small business startups. According to the study, local government chairmen should work with the Abia State government to support risk-taking by entrepreneurs by offering soft loans and counterpart finance assistance. This will help those with entrepreneurial intentions grow their businesses and create more jobs for the state and local governments.

 Abstract

The automobile sector plays a significant role in the global economy, making it an attractive area for investors seeking potential opportunities. However, investing in stocks within this sector requires careful consideration of risk and return characteristics to make informed investment decisions. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive risk-return analysis of selected stocks in the automobile sector. The objective is to assess the potential risks and returns associated with investing in these stocks, thereby assisting investors in making informed investment decisions. The study analyses key financial indicators, such as beta, return on investment, and stock performance, to evaluate the risk and return profiles of the selected stocks. By examining these factors, the study provides valuable insights into the risk-return trade-off within the automobile sector and offers recommendations for investors seeking to maximize their investment returns while managing risks effectively

 Abstract

In this concise article, I would like to present four models of relating religion and state. Here, let me highlight the fourth model which is a positive approach to religious pluralism and discusses it with reference to the Indian Constitution. Distancing from social structural orientations which assume that the inter-religious conflicts will cease with economic development, I would like to draw the attention to the importance of a continuing inter-religious dialogue and conversation that is respectful of differences. Such a dialogue can help us to overcome many tangles and lead us towards conflict-resolution. If, in general, dialogue has been, in the past, associated with the issue of evangelization and liberation, today, I feel, we need to move towards a dialogue of religions as members in the civil society. It will be a dialogue centered on what concerns the public order and well-being.

Face detection has been a common nowadays. Recognizing emotions from images or videos is an easy task for human eye, but it is very difficult for machines to proves it and it requires many images processing techniques for feature extraction. so here we are introducing a CNN model to train the dataset and a harrcascade algorithm for the object detection. With the help of CNN an input image is filtered through convolution layers to produce a feature map. The Facial expressions are nonverbal form of communication. There are eight universal facial expressions which include: neutral, happy, sadness, anger, contempt, disgust, fear, and surprise. The main motive of this proposed system is to detect the expressions and level of stress.

Soil is the component that contributes the most to fulfilling all of a person's basic needs. This study examines the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil in four villages of Naya Raipur region, Chhattisgarh including Palaud, Kotni, Tandul, Kuhera, and two open forests, including the Kuhera Village Forest and Parsada. This physico-chemical study of soil is based on various parameters such as moisture content, pH (H2O), pH (KCl), pH(H2O2), and the requirement of lime content. The physico-chemical research of a region is particularly important since both physical and chemical characteristics affect the productivity of the soil. It was found that the moisture content was highest (2.50) in Kuhera village which can promote better crop-yielding capacity and lowest in the agricultural field of Kotni village (0.10). The pH level is high in the determination of H2O as compared to KCl and H2O2. The pH of H2O and KCl was found highest (7.94 and 7.38) in the agricultural land of Kuhera village and the village itself has the lowest pH of H2O which is 6.52. The pH of KCl is lowest (5.85) in Kotni village farmland. The pH of H2O2 was found highest in the open forest of Kuhera village (7.57) and lowest in the Parsada open forest (6.18). For the requirement of lime content, it was found that the pH of all the soil samples was alkaline so lime addition is not required. This study will benefit the villagers of that region in agriculture and help in any agricultural development in that area.
