Many studies have questioned to what degree of higher media literacy can help fight the flow of misinformation in social media. How can social media literacy help to fight against misinformation and maintain digital hygiene? Conventional media literacy is the ability to distinguish fact from opinion, and to comprehend how media can be used to influence people. Facts are truthful reports of when, where, why and how the event has happened or what exists, and opinions are the interpretations of the meaning or impact, usually from an individual's point of view Kerry Gallagher & Magid (2017). The study analyzed the contents and competencies, required for an individual to become a social media literate and thereby distinguish fake and fact news in social media using a conceptual framework developed by Cho et. al. (2022). Results reveals that there is no “One size fits all” solution to develop media literacy among youth, but more initiatives and awareness programmes can be conducted and included in curriculum to educate and make aware on the pros and cons of using social media and also various tools available for fact checking in the internet.
许多研究都对提高媒体素养在多大程度上有助于打击社交媒体中的错误信息提出了质疑。社交媒体素养如何帮助抵制错误信息，保持数字卫生？传统媒体素养是指区分事实与观点的能力，以及理解媒体如何被用来影响他人的能力。事实是对事件发生的时间、地点、原因和方式或存在内容的如实报道，而观点则是对其意义或影响的解释，通常是从个人的角度出发，Kerry Gallagher & Magid（2017）。本研究利用 Cho 等人（2022 年）提出的概念框架，分析了个人成为社交媒体素养者，从而区分社交媒体中假新闻和事实新闻所需的内容和能力。研究结果表明，培养青少年的媒体素养没有 "一刀切 "的解决方案，但可以开展更多的活动和宣传计划，并将其纳入课程，以教育和宣传使用社交媒体的利与弊，以及互联网上可用于事实核查的各种工具。

This research article studies the general trend of traffic accidents on Indian roads for the last 28 years. The study includes accident severity, number of deaths, and injuries due to accidents. The rate of accidents, deaths, and injuries are studied concerning population, number of registered vehicles, and road length. Monthly and timely indices are computed for the number of accidents to study which months of a year and time durations of a day show more accidents than its average and with what percentage? We study the general trend of accidents in rural and urban areas and see which categories of vehicles are more vulnerable to accidents in Million Plus Cities. Comments and suggestions are given to minimize road accidents and avoid serious consequences.

Travel literature is one of the latest genres of literature which has been written only after travelling by human. Basically, the humans’ history is traveler’s history and it is related to the primitive needs like food, cloth and residence. In the modern world, the purpose of travel has explored the diverse cultures and creates a sense of understanding. Besides all this, people like to travel as per their current requirements in the 21st century. It is mentionable that the governance of Assam has handed over to British in 1826 and a new law and order has formed. Assamese society is changed in all fields i.e. political, economic, social, educational and cultural etc. Due to all these, the people of Assam showed their interest in many fields and necessarily made some internal and external journey. As the result of this, the Assamese travel writings have gradually increased. Assamese travel literature is the next form of that tradition which have a unique identity and characteristics. As time passes through, the tendencies of primitive travel has converted into practical travel and the Assamese people have gathered some experiences which are the main sources of writings. Mentionable that these writings can be perfect travel literature only after merged with literary virtue. It is true even in the context of Assamese travel literature too and the prosperity and development of this genre is proved today. But a deep study of this genre has not done yet and that’s why the necessity of the study encourages for this research paper where the pre and post-Independence Assamese travel literature will be analytically discussed as Assamese Travel literature-trend, classification and characteristic.

The COVID 19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on education systems around the world affecting approximately 825 million learners. More than 94 percentage of the world’s student population has been affected by the indefinite closure of educational institutions. This has resulted in significant changes in every aspect of human life. This paper focuses on the Teacher Education sector; teacher education institutions and the various strategies adopted by teacher educators to tide over an unplanned and forced shift from face to face to online education. Teacher educators had to envisage new learning environments for student teachers, the prospective teachers, taking into account the requirements of teacher education programmers’ as well as the conditions in which both the universities and schools have to function. This paper intends to examine the various forms of online teaching modes adopted by colleges of teacher education, affiliated to different universities of Kerala state during covid-19 pandemic and throws light on the effect of conducting practice teaching sessions through online mode in enhancing teaching competencies among student teachers. The method adopted for the present study is the Normative Survey method in which the perception of 50 teacher educators were taken into account and samples were selected through random sampling technique. The findings of the study clearly give notions regarding the various online teaching modes adopted by teacher education colleges during COVID19 Pandemic like, Google meet, zoom, slack, Cisco, WebEx, and configurable cloud-based learning management solutions like Moodle, Skype, and big blue button as well as the challenges faced by student-teachers while conducting practice teaching sessions through online mode. Analysis of the data makes it clear that among the selected 7 core teaching skills and their components skills, acquisition of skill of stimulus variation, skill of probing questions and skill of reinforcement were not effective when student- teachers practiced the same through online mode as per the perception of teacher- educators. At the same time, acquisition of skill of introduction, skill of explaining, skill of illustrating with examples and skill of achieving closure were very effective according to the perception of teacher educators.
COVID 19 大流行给世界各地的教育系统造成了严重破坏，约 8.25 亿学生受到影响。全世界超过 94%的学生因教育机构无限期关闭而受到影响。这导致人类生活的方方面面都发生了重大变化。本文重点关注教师教育部门、教师教育机构以及教师教育工作者为渡过从面对面教育到在线教育这一计划外的被迫转变而采取的各种策略。教师教育工作者必须为学生教师（未来的教师）设想新的学习环境，同时考虑到教师教育计划制定者的要求以及大学和学校的运作条件。本文旨在研究喀拉拉邦不同大学下属的教师教育学院在科维德-19 大流行病期间采用的各种形式的在线教学模式，并阐明通过在线模式开展实践教学课程对提高学生教师教学能力的影响。本研究采用的方法是规范调查法，其中考虑了 50 名师范教育工作者的看法，并通过随机抽样技术选取了样本。研究结果清楚地说明了在 COVID19 大流行期间师范院校采用的各种在线教学模式，如 Google meet、zoom、slack、Cisco、WebEx 和可配置的基于云的学习管理解决方案，如 Moodle、Skype 和 big blue button，以及学生教师在通过在线模式进行实践教学课程时面临的挑战。数据分析清楚地表明，在所选的 7 项核心教学技能及其组成技能中，根据教师-教育者的看法，学生-教师通过在线模式进行练习时，刺激变化技能、探究问题技能和强化技能的习得效果不佳。同时，根据教师教育者的看法，导入技能、解释技能、举例说明技能和结束技能的掌握非常有效。

Despite technological developments, customer acceptability is constrained due to a lack of functional knowledge. E-government growth ambitions do not include administrative simplification, lack of infrastructure and human resource capabilities, there is a mismatch between supply and demand for e-services. the Ineffective government regulations, scarcity of technical skills and exorbitant technological costs. Politicians, civil servants, and all public servants are seen as the actual enemy in these two countries, depriving them of progress and national development. This quantitative study proposed that the Azerbaijan ASAN service model be adopted as an alternative public services reform approach for reimagining Nigerian and Sudanese public services sectors. The findings indicate that Strongly Agree (n=3). Agree (N=21) contradicted disagreed (n=17) and strongly disagree (n=9). To summarize, n=25 respondents genuinely disagree that people in their country were aware of e-government services, which runs counter to (n=24). This result showed that almost everyone who participated in the survey agreed and recognized the value of using the Azerbaijan ASAN services model to make it easier for residents to receive government services in a corrupt-free digital environment. In conclusion, the adoption of e-Government services that are more advantageous, user-friendly, effective, and efficient may be significantly impacted by the study's findings, in our opinion. We recommend that the government to adopt and provide electronic services like ASAN service E-government of Azerbaijan.
尽管技术得到了发展，但由于缺乏功能方面的知识，客户的接受程度受到限制。电子政务的发展目标不包括简化行政管理，缺乏基础设施和人力资源能力，电子服务的供需不匹配，政府法规不力，技术技能稀缺，技术成本过高。在这两个国家，政治家、公务员和所有公职人员都被视为实际的敌人，剥夺了他们的进步和国家发展。这项定量研究建议采用阿塞拜疆 ASAN 服务模式，作为重新构想尼日利亚和苏丹公共服务部门的另一种公共服务改革方法。研究结果表明，"非常同意"（N=3）、"同意"（N=21）和 "非常不同意"（N=3）相矛盾。同意（21 人）与不同意（17 人）和非常不同意（9 人）相矛盾。总之，25 名受访者确实不同意本国人民了解电子政务服务，这与 24 名受访者的意见相悖。这一结果表明，几乎所有参与调查的人都同意并认可使用阿塞拜疆 ASAN 服务模式的价值，即让居民更容易在无腐败的数字环境中获得政府服务。总之，我们认为，研究结果可能会对采用更有利、更方便用户、更有效和更高效的电子政务服务产生重大影响。我们建议政府采用并提供像阿塞拜疆 ASAN 服务电子政务那样的电子服务。

The research explores the pivotal role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives in addressing the pressing issue of climate change. As global awareness of environmental challenges grows, businesses, investors, and policymakers increasingly recognize the significance of integrating ESG principles into their strategies. This paper examines how ESG initiatives contribute to mitigating climate change through a holistic approach that encompasses environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and effective corporate governance. This study investigates climate change mitigation through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives in the context of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Rajasthan, India. With a sample size of 370 SMEs, the research employs the Smart-PLS software for comprehensive analysis. Our study explores the pragmatic role of ESG practices in addressing climate change challenges SMEs face in the present era. The findings underscore the significance of integrating sustainability strategies to ensure environmental resilience, social responsibility, and effective governance. While offering valuable insights, the study acknowledges limitations in the scope of ESG factors and the evolving nature of climate change dynamics. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of collective efforts among stakeholders to foster sustainable practices and combat climate change impacts in Rajasthan's SME sector.

Background: The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a newly discovered potential dangers of air bubbles used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes into the human body.At present, the injection of air bubbles into the human body for diagnostic purpose is viewed positively by the medical/scientific community. In Vitro experiments are presented whereby cells isolation by air bubbles could interfere with chemotherapy treatments.Methods: Author’s own saliva sample was spitted out onto the center of a clean 25X75x1mm glass slide. The sample was placed and focused on the viewing platform of a video microscope. A toothpick was used to harvest inner cheek cells and gently transfer onto the spitted out sample. After focusing, areas were selected showing floating cells and air bubbles. Different laminar levels were observed by cells migrating at different levels.While microscopically observing the sample, the glass slide was disturbed by finger tapping, the aim to induce bubble bursting.Results: Deformed cells were observed when adhering to the outer surface of air bubbles. Additionally, undeformed cells seen at two distinct perpendicular layers when trapped within the floating bubbles. Noticed was a selective attraction of cells by the outer edge of the floating bubbles. Cells attached to the bubble’s edge were being deformed and attracted to each other. Cells were also observed passing unattracted when in a separate laminar flow under the floating bubble. The provocative tapping causing air bubbles to cavitate and burst.Conclusions: The bursting of an air bubble is not the only factor in floating eukaryotic cells deformation. In this manuscript video microscopy and still images are introduced demonstrating a newly found horizontal flat parallel energy field in the periphery of the oxygen bubble. This energy is evident in the free-floating air bubble interface as cheek eukaryotic cells adhere only to the flat round edge of a bubble. Cells are attracted, adhered to each other, and deformed by their own intrinsic attraction. Once the bubble bursts, cells and debris are dispersed, with cells adherence partially disturbed. Cell deformations persisting. It could be hypothesized that cancer cells trapped at different laminar layers inside the bubble be refractory to external chemotherapy agents thus retaining their cancer characteristics.

Kiswahili is recognized by the Constitution of Kenya as the national language and also the official language alongside English. It is therefore the tool of communication in both official and non official contexts.For instance, Taifa Leo newspaper presents environmental information to readers in Kiswahili. This means that many people who can read have access to news on environment. The environment is a cross-cutting and sensitive issue nationally and internationally. Environment affects the life of every creature on a daily basis in one way or another. The print media, the Taifa Leo included, which has been tasked with informing the public about the world's environmental issues, ought to do so in a way that will enable people to understand the importance of the environment and thus interact with it in a positive way. This argument stems from the belief that a person values and cares for what he or she understands. This study therefore aims to determine whether the choice of language in conveying environmental information in the Taifa Leo newspaper contributes to how the audience understands the information and ultimately the behaviours generated by that understanding. This study analysed the language features selected by journalists in reporting on environmental news in the Taifa Leo newspaper to ascertain if the choice of language contributes to the reporting of intended environmental issues and finally to explain whether the choice of language elements has any relationship with the meaning of information emerging from the environmental news.This study was conducted in a library where environmental discourse was analysed. Taifa Leo newspapers published from January 2021 to March 2022 were selected purposively, by extracting texts from the selected newspaper that had environmental information. Data was analysed based on language used in presentation of environmental information in selected texts from Taifa Leo newspapers.
