RESEARCH INSIGHTS ON TEACHER EDUCATION
Teacher education is an important academic domain, as it determines the quality of school education through the teachers produced by teacher education. The changing demands and nature of learners at school force teachers to adapt themselves constantly. This requires change in the methods of teacher training and its curriculum. Thus, researchers specialised in the area of teacher education must find innovative approaches to train preservice and in-service teachers to meet the changing demands. The present chapter presents the research conducted on the developmental aspects of teacher education across the globe in the last two decades. The chapter organises the research inputs in five different areas for ease of understanding: research related to the application of sociological, psychological and technological theories to teacher education practices, research related to transformational changes, research on teacher and teaching competence and research pertaining to teacher reflection. This would help teacher educators, schoolteachers, trainee teachers and policy makers to organise and implement effective teacher training programmes. 2023 selection and editorial matter G.S.

Research challenges in self-driving vehicle by using internet of things (IoT)
This article summarizes the benefits, safety hazards, and limitations of owning a self-driving vehicle. Finding a way to use an SDV(Self Driving Vehicle) is minimizing the risk for an accident is important for public and road safety. The actual rate of accidents for self-driving vehicles are lower than that for regular vehicles since the total number of miles of self-driving vehicles combined is nowhere close to that of regular fossil-fueled vehicles. Even though there is no proof that self-driving vehicles will not cause accidents, it is important to know that self-driving vehicles weren't the cause in all the cases they have been involved. That is, it will not be purely considered as the machine's mistake. The safety level of self-driving vehicles has been proven to be one of the best and that has led to the number of serious accident-related wounds in self-driving vehicles to remain lower than the standard level. Nevertheless, Internet of Things plays a major role in developing the self-driving vehicle concept. 2021 IEEE. -
Research asset creation (RAC) model for PhD awarding universities in India
Importance of higher education and research is becoming more prominent and admission for PhD is increasing year by year in India. Most of the time Research done as part of PhD ends with the submission and acceptance of thesis in Universities. This research future work or extension work might be picked by other PhD candidate in the same or from the different Universities but not sure when it will happen. Also not sure the research completed has achieved its end objective and University is fine to stop that research after spending so much of time and resources of University. This paper insists on continuous research with PhD candidates every year in Universities until the completion of research and scope for reducing the waste of resources and time. This paper considers the importance and effectiveness of Indexing parameters, Indexing agencies, review methods, Journals and relevant concepts. Considering the usefulness and facts of the same to research community building a standard process with procedures to control quality, performance and original research in place, I have built a Research Asset Creation (RAC) model for universities offering PhDs in India by making use of University level Indexing, Indexing parameters, Inter and Intra University peer review methods and University Journal as magazine and as well as Indexing agency. Research cannot be considered just for the award of degree. There is a need for making use of research, resources of University and time spent on research till the objective of the research is accomplished. This can be accomplished by adopting Research Asset Creation model. Complete details of the model, components of the model, implementation, its benefits and usage is discussed in this paper. This is a generalized Model and fit for all Countries which are looking for effective use of research and resources in a progressive manner. BEIESP. -
Research article toxicological evaluation of ethanolic leaf and fruit extracts of phaseolus vulgaris l. Treated with wastewater in danio rerio hamilton (zebrafish)
Background and Objective: The cultivation of Vegetables in the world is facing a shortage of water so that the farmers are forced to use sewage wastewater for cultivation in underdeveloped countries. Therefore, the present study was an attempt to examine the toxicity level of accumulated heavy metals in the vegetables irrigated with sewage water and treated sewage water. The concentration-dependent changes in toxicity of ethanolic leaf and fruit extracts of Phaseolus vulgaris treated with wastewater in Zebrafish were analysed in this study. Materials and Methods: For the experiment, finely ground powders of leaves and fruits of Phaseolus vulgaris were extracted with ethanol. Using different concentrations of these extracts, a toxicity test was done with Danio rerio as per the OECD guidelines 203. Results: Using AAS, heavy metals like lead and manganese were found in higher concentrations in untreated wastewater than in distilled water and treated wastewater. The results indicated that ethanolic leaf extracts of treated wastewater irrigated Phaseolus vulgaris does not induce toxicity when used at a dose below 400 mg LG1. Leaf extracts of Phaseolus vulgaris grown with wastewater showed the lowest and highest mortality at 100 and 400 mg LG1, respectively, when compared to other plant extracts. Histopathological variations were also observed in the fishes exposed to the lethal concentrations of plant extracts. Statistical evaluation of the correlation between concentration and mortality percentage was carried out using SPSS. Conclusion: The present study revealed that the leaf and fruit extracts of Phaseolus vulgaris grown with untreated wastewater were more toxic to Danio rerio than other extracts used in the experiment. 2022 Aleesa Augustine and Jobi Xavier. -

Research Advancements In Autism Spectrum Disorder Using Neuroimaging
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition that manifests as a spectrum of symptoms at varying levels of severity.. Insufficient data and heterogeneous characteristics of ASD are the primary causes of it being a complex, challenging, and intriguing field of research. ASD is declared one of the fastest-growing mental disorders affecting the normal life of subjects at various levels of severity and stages of age. Recent research work observed a significant change in brain structure, functional connectivity, and network using neuroimaging resources. Each autistic brain is as unique as a fingerprint for typically developed subjects. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is accepted as an excellent diagnostic technology for numerous disorders with a satisfactory amount of information by medical experts. Cognitive deficits brain MRI modalities contain microscopic information, which is time-consuming and needs experts to interpret. Artificial intelligence (AI) strategies (Machine Learning and Deep Learning) are implemented with various imaging modalities to decrypt the information for diagnosis and to support computer-added solutions for appropriate treatment. The research aims to discover the various evolutionary impacts of artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of Autism syndrome disorder using neuroimaging. To automate the diagnosis using artificial intelligence methodologies, medical imaging has proved to be of immense use. Though neuroimaging and AI produced satisfactory diagnostic solutions for many mental disorders, research is required to explore the autistic brain for more neuroimaging information to be used for further investigation. Some of the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for detection and training are also invented but not with the use of Neuroimaging. Autism is a neurological condition that affects the brain, and hence more research is advised using imaging and AI techniques to support the community to enjoy a normal life. 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..

Research & development premium in the Indian equity market: An empirical study
This article aims to investigate the research and development (R&D) premium and explore the three most prominent asset pricing models: capital asset pricing and the three-and five-factor models (Fama & French, 1993; 2015). The results show that India's annualized average R&D premium is significantly higher than the existing value, market, profitability, size and investment premiums, implying that the R&D premium is a more significant concern for Indian investors, particularly for high R&D firms. It was also observed that by applying the GRS test and the Fama and MacBeth (1973) two-pass procedure, the R&D risk factor augmented the CAPM, FF3F and FF5F models outperforming the existing CAPM, FF3F and FF5F models, respectively. We can also report that R&D is, unquestionably, a priced ingredient and a critical factor in developing pricing models for developing markets such as India. The paper's conclusions add to the current literature in R&D and asset pricing and assist investment professionals in developing better investment and trading strategies. 2021 AESS Publications.

Rescue Operation with RF Pose Enabled Drones in Earthquake Zones
The main objective of this research is to use machine learning algorithms to locate people stranded by an earthquake or other big disasters. Disasters are often unpredictable, they can result in significant economic loss, and the survivors may struggle with despair and other mental health issues. The time, the victim's precise location, the possible condition of the victim, the resources and manpower on hand are the main challenges the rescue team must deal with. This article examines a model that gathers data and, using that data, predicts risk analysis and probability of finding the shortest distance to reach the person in need. Using a drone equipped with RF-pose technology and EHT sensors, it will be able to locate any individuals trapped inside a collapsed structure. To determine the dataset's extreme points and the shortest route to the victim's location by using the Dijkstra's algorithms. The primary aim of this article is to discuss the idea of applying these ML (Machine Learning) algorithms and creating a model that aids in rescuing those trapped beneath collapsed buildings. Devices that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) have grown in popularity over the past few years as a result of their capacity for data collection and transmission. Particularly in disaster management, search and rescue operations, and other related disciplines, drones have shown to be useful IoT devices. These tools are perfect for emergency response circumstances because they can be utilized to access locations that are hard to get to or too dangerous for humans. Drones with cameras and other sensors can be used in disaster management to gather data in real-time on the severity of the damage caused by earthquakes and other disasters. The afflicted area may be mapped out with their help, and they can also be used to find survivors and spot dangerous places that should be avoided. The rescue operation can then be planned and the resource allocation made more efficient using this information. Drones can be used in search and rescue operations to find and follow people who are stuck or lost. Drones can be equipped with the RF-pose sensors used in the research described in the abstract to assist in locating people who are buried under debris. Thermal camera-equipped drones can also be used to locate people in low-light or night-time conditions by detecting their body heat. The capacity of drones to offer real-time data is one of the benefits particularly disaster management. 2023 IEEE. -

Reproductive health vs overall well-being: systematic review of studies on women migration and health care utilization
Purpose: Sustainable development goals (SDGs) recognize the importance and interrelation between health and migration. Women migration and health is well researched, yet less attention is paid to their healthcare utilization, especially with regard to overall health and well-being. This paper aims to highlight the gap in the existing literature on health care utilization by women migrants. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA guideline. For the review, the literature was taken from three electronic databases, which were Springer Link, Taylor and Francis and PubMed. From a total of 1,575 studies, seven studies cleared the eligibility screening. Findings: Of seven studies, five were found to focus on the sexual and reproductive health of the women migrants than their general health and well-being, and less attention is paid to health promotion and illness prevention beyond reproductive and sexual health. While, studies on general health have focused on the influence of health status on health care utilization and the influence of health insurance in health care utilization. The review has revealed the disparities faced by migrant women in different countries while seeking health care. Originality/value: Studies on women migration and health care utilization have largely focused on the reproductive and sexual health needs of women, and this overemphasis often undermines their accessibility and affordability to overall health and well-being. Therefore, the present study has moved away from the concept of sexual and reproductive health tot that of overall health and well-being of women migrants. 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited. -
