Education for sustainable development is referred to as education that “empowers learners to take informed decisions and responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society, for present and future generations, while respecting cultural diversity.” Sustainable development needs innovation to drive competitiveness, and demands technological infrastructure to create an environment where the latest technology and knowledge can blend to trigger new approaches and solutions. Therefore, sustainable economic growth requires new qualities and different features, and solicits educational systems to equip learners and students with skills and competencies that help them manage change and generate and execute ideas through flexibility and initiative. Problem solving ability is one of the important abilities that students need to achieve in learning and is part of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) goal competence. Problem-solving skills are essential for sustainability, as they allow you to address complex and dynamic challenges, find innovative solutions, and adapt to changing circumstances.

Inclusion aligns with the goals of Education for All (EFA). Therefore, the study identified teachers’ integration strategies and challenges on inclusion in selected public primary schools in Mushin Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos, Nigeria. Descriptive Survey Research Design was used for the study. 240 teachers in Basic 1-6 formed the sample size who were randomly selected across 24 public primary schools in the LGA. Ten teachers were randomly selected from each school. Three research questions in a 21-item structured questionnaire titled ‘Teachers’ Integration Strategies and Challenges on Inclusion’ (TISACI) was used to elicit information from respondents. The instrument was modified and validated by experts in Early Childhood and Measurement and Evaluation. The reliability instrument coefficient was at 0.798. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency count, percentages and mean. The study found out that that strategies teachers adopt to integrate pupils include differentiation, use of positive technology tools, giving individualized support and collaborative efforts among others. Also, the study outlined challenges teachers face in inclusion such as having to deal with diverse learners with diverse learning needs, lack of resources and support, poor knowledge in special education among others. The study also found that inclusion has positive impact on pupils’ academic performance as it fosters positive classroom climate, provides individualized support and encourages peer tutoring among others. It was therefore recommended that teachers’ professional training should focus more on tenets of special education, use of differentiation, and diversification of assessment strategies for optimal learning outcome in order to accommodate special needs pupils among others.

In our national perception, education is essential for all; this is fundamental to our all-round development, material and spiritual. Education has an acculturating role. It refines sensitivities and perception that contribute to national cohesion, a scientific temper and independence of mind and spirit. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial and religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

Media, the fourth pillar of democracy, is one of the institutions, systems and resources created by the society to fulfill its various needs. Today, as a security guard of democracy, media has reached its reach not only in the country but across the world. In this era of information technology, mass communication has an important contribution in the society. Whatever the limitations of the early forms of communication, the rapid development of communication media has been closely related to the development of modern human society. In the last few years, the revolutionary changes in the procedures of mass communication due to scientific progress have completely changed the human life-style. From Parliament to the streets, all ideological wars are being fought today through the mass media. Before independence, the media awakened the light of patriotism and resistance to British rule among the common people. After independence, this medium of consciousness emerged from new knowledge and science and called upon the common people to protect their rights and duties.

The invention of the internet and digital communication channels has made it possible for people in different parts of the world to interact without geographic restrictions. Nevertheless, people from different speech communities may encounter communication barriers as a result of their language differences. The invention of emojis, which are perceived as a universal language, is believed to bridge the communication gap between individuals of different languages. To find out how effective emojis are in communication, the findings of four empirical studies, which investigated the use of emojis in communication, were collected and analysed qualitatively. The present study was anchored on Sonja Foss’s Theory of Visual Rhetoric, which posits that visuals must communicate effectively and accurately to their audience before they can be identified and described as communicative. The findings of this study, however, showed that while emojis can trigger the emotions of readers, they may fail to communicate effectively to them. Based on these findings, it was concluded that emojis may not be an effective tool in cross border interactions.
互联网和数字通信渠道的发明使世界各地的人们可以不受地域限制地进行交流。然而，来自不同语言社区的人们可能会因语言差异而遇到交流障碍。表情符号被视为一种通用语言，它的发明被认为可以消除不同语言人群之间的沟通障碍。为了了解表情符号在交流中的有效性，我们收集了四项实证研究的结果，这些研究调查了表情符号在交流中的使用情况，并进行了定性分析。本研究以 Sonja Foss 的 "视觉修辞理论"（Theory of Visual Rhetoric）为基础，该理论认为视觉效果必须有效、准确地传达给受众，然后才能被识别和描述为具有传播性。然而，本研究的结果表明，虽然表情符号可以触发读者的情感，但它们可能无法与读者进行有效的交流。基于这些研究结果，我们得出结论，表情符号可能不是跨境互动的有效工具。

The unjustifiable constants neglect to empower the women in Nigeria called for; “Empowering the female undergraduates with practical entrepreneurial skills development for curbing social economic challenges in Rivers State.” The study was directed by two research questions, and two null hypotheses were developed. The study design used was a descriptive survey. There were 79 lecturers in the population, and a census sampling technique was used. Three experts verified a four-point response options questionnaire that was used to gather data. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine the instrument’s dependability; the result was a coefficient of 0.89 and 0.88. The mean was employed to address the research questions, and the null hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that there was a high level of improvement in the practical entrepreneurial abilities required to enable female undergraduates to address social and economic challenges. Also, there was a significant benefit on reducing social and economic challenges from equipping female undergraduates with real-world business skills. Consequently, it was determined that Nigeria’s social and economic problems would be significantly reduced if our postsecondary institutions sufficiently equipped female undergraduates with useful entrepreneurial abilities. In addition to other crucial recommendations, Nigeria’s female students and women in general should be equipped with high-demanding, lifelong skills for the rapidly evolving workplace by means of sufficient funding for the development of practical entrepreneurial abilities. In addition to government subsidies, the money should be consistent, steady, and could come from other sources as well.

In the era of digital transformation, organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based solutions for their auditing processes to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and scalability. This research paper explores the pivotal role of audit trails and transparency in cloud-based auditing, addressing the challenges, benefits, and implications for ensuring robust security and accountability in the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing. The paper begins by delving into the fundamental concepts of audit trails and transparency in the context of cloud-based auditing. Audit trails serve as chronological records of activities, providing a comprehensive view of actions performed within the auditing system. Transparency, on the other hand, emphasizes openness and visibility in the auditing process, fostering trust among stakeholders. Together, these elements contribute to the establishment of a secure and accountable auditing environment. One of the primary challenges in cloud-based auditing is the dynamic nature of cloud computing environments. The paper examines how the inherent complexities of cloud architectures, such as multi-tenancy and virtualization, can pose challenges to maintaining an effective audit trail. Furthermore, the dynamic allocation of resources and the use of third-party services demand innovative solutions to ensure the integrity and completeness of audit records. To address these challenges, the paper proposes a framework that combines advanced cryptographic techniques, secure logging mechanisms, and real-time monitoring to strengthen the audit trail in cloud-based environments. Emphasizing the importance of encryption and hashing algorithms, the framework aims to safeguard sensitive information while maintaining the transparency required for auditing purposes. Additionally, the integration of machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection enhances the system’s ability to identify and respond to irregularities promptly.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has made significant strides in the past five decades and is an important contributor to the provision of quality healthcare services in any economy. This paper studies the efficiency of selected top ten pharmaceutical companies by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) under constant return to scale (CRS) model and variable returns t ale (VRS) model. The inputs used in the study are assets, salaries, and wages. The outputs used are Return on Asset, and Net Profits. The study found Divis Laboratories and Sun Pharma to be most efficient under CRS and Sun Pharma was found to be most efficient under VRS models during 2019 – 2023. Seven pharmaceutical companies were working under Increasing returns to scale, two were working under constant returns to scale and one was performing under decreasing returns to scale. Return on assets, Net Profit margin and Return on Capital Employed Ratio were used to study financial performance of the pharmaceutical companies. Abbot India had the highest return on assets (17.948%). Divis Labs had the highest Net Profit Margin (27.76%). Mankind Pharma led in Return on Capital Employed (27.524%), This result further adds to the result provided by DEA. Companies found to be efficient by DEA were found to have high performance standards. Also, through the regression analysis the impact of variables Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Net profits margin (NPM) on Return on Asset (ROA) was studied. Returns on Assets (ROA) are 93.6% dependent on Net profits margin and Return on Capital Employed. There is significant (p-value = 0.000) relationship between Return on Asset (ROA), Net profits margin (NPM) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE).
印度制药业在过去五十年中取得了长足进步，是任何经济体提供优质医疗服务的重要贡献者。本文在规模收益不变（CRS）模型和收益可变（VRS）模型下，运用数据包络分析法（DEA）研究了选定的十大制药公司的效率。研究中使用的投入为资产、工资和薪金。产出为资产回报率和净利润。研究发现，2019-2023 年期间，Divis Laboratories 和 Sun Pharma 在 CRS 模型下效率最高，而 Sun Pharma 在 VRS 模型下效率最高。七家制药公司在规模收益递增模式下工作，两家在规模收益不变模式下工作，一家在规模收益递减模式下工作。资产回报率、净利润率和资本使用回报率被用来研究制药公司的财务表现。雅培印度公司的资产回报率最高（17.948%）。Divis Labs 的净利润率最高（27.76%）。Mankind Pharma 的资本回报率（27.524%）遥遥领先，这一结果进一步补充了 DEA 提供的结果。通过 DEA 分析发现，效率高的公司具有较高的绩效标准。此外，通过回归分析，还研究了资本回报率（ROCE）和净利润率（NPM）这两个变量对资产回报率（ROA）的影响。资产回报率（ROA）93.6%取决于净利润率和资本回报率。资产回报率（ROA）、净利润率（NPM）和资本回报率（ROCE）之间存在显着关系（p 值 = 0.000）。
{"title":"Efficiency and Performance of Top Indian Pharmaceutical Firms: A Comparative Analysis","authors":"Gagandeep Sharma, Divya Sharma, Shreshtha Singh","doi":"10.59231/edumania/9045","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59231/edumania/9045","url":null,"abstract":"The Indian pharmaceutical industry has made significant strides in the past five decades and is an important contributor to the provision of quality healthcare services in any economy. This paper studies the efficiency of selected top ten pharmaceutical companies by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) under constant return to scale (CRS) model and variable returns t ale (VRS) model. The inputs used in the study are assets, salaries, and wages. The outputs used are Return on Asset, and Net Profits. The study found Divis Laboratories and Sun Pharma to be most efficient under CRS and Sun Pharma was found to be most efficient under VRS models during 2019 – 2023. Seven pharmaceutical companies were working under Increasing returns to scale, two were working under constant returns to scale and one was performing under decreasing returns to scale. Return on assets, Net Profit margin and Return on Capital Employed Ratio were used to study financial performance of the pharmaceutical companies. Abbot India had the highest return on assets (17.948%). Divis Labs had the highest Net Profit Margin (27.76%). Mankind Pharma led in Return on Capital Employed (27.524%), This result further adds to the result provided by DEA. Companies found to be efficient by DEA were found to have high performance standards. Also, through the regression analysis the impact of variables Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Net profits margin (NPM) on Return on Asset (ROA) was studied. Returns on Assets (ROA) are 93.6% dependent on Net profits margin and Return on Capital Employed. There is significant (p-value = 0.000) relationship between Return on Asset (ROA), Net profits margin (NPM) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE).","PeriodicalId":479772,"journal":{"name":"Edumania-An International Multidisciplinary Journal","volume":"1620 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140773878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
