Online Higher Education : A Mixed Method Study of Delhi NCR, India
The education system in the new era displays extensive adaptability, as proven by presentday realities. In ancient India, the Gurukul system prevailed during the Vedic period, where Gurus guided students in an ashram or hermitage. This is quite different from the contemporary education system we have today. The modern education system involves structured classrooms, where teachers guide students in an institutional setting. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in the contemporary education system worldwide. This and the emergence of Digital India and the internet led to a structural change in the modern education system, from physical classrooms to online and remote classrooms. That means a paradigm shift happened in the educational system where Gurus are replaced by e-gadgets, books are being replaced by eBooks and traditional classrooms are being replaced by smart classrooms and online classes. The shift to remote learning has brought forth several challenges to the educational system which includes lack of meaningful teacher-student interaction, lack of motivation and engagement and its impact on mental health. This opens the scope for understanding the pros and cons of different modes of educational practices followed in the Indian online higher education system. Therefore, newlinethe present research captured experiences of teachers and students from Delhi NCR region newlineabout online higher education and the learning environment to understand the effectiveness of online learning. This research also focuses on social and psychological behavior along with the perceptions of teachers and students about online learning. The study explored the newlinechallenges and problems faced by them in online learning. A mixed method approach was newlineused for understanding the changing structure of the digital classroom. Along with the newlinedigital participatory approach, structured interviewing was used to have a better and in-depth understanding of online learning. -

Defiance in the Shadows: Flames of Resilience in the Selected North Korean Memoirs
The resilient autobiography focuses on the interpersonal dynamics of life narratives, including the relationships that have exacerbated the hardships described and the ones that have provided the support and strength necessary to overcome them. The selected text for this paper is A Thousand Miles to Freedom: My Escape from North Korea by Eunsun Kim and Sebastien Falletti and In Order to Live: A North Korean Girls Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park and Maryanne Vollers. These two texts talk about their catastrophic journey from North Korea because of poverty caused by famine and their migration to China, where they were trafficked and subjected to humiliation and their final escape to South Korea. The memoirs depict the individual?s embodiment of resilience as they narrate their own struggles and victories in overcoming hardship. Resistance to adversity and suffering, as well as the ability to bounce back from painful experiences in one?s own life and in the lives of others, are the hallmarks of resilience. Trauma becomes ingrained in attempts for survival in both memoirs, which illustrate the catastrophic impacts of famine, relocation, and personal loss. One effective approach to enhance resilience is reorganizing and reestablishing control over one's life after a traumatic event. Interpretations and writings of the personal narrative are offered from both the subject?s and an outsider?s points of view. Thus, the life story is formed in a dual sense: autobiographically and biographically. 2024 Sciedu Press. All rights reserved. -
Polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis and characterization from optimized medium utilizing distillery effluent using Bacillus endophyticus MTCC 9021: a statistical approach
Use of expensive raw material and inefficient extraction method has limited the production of biopolymers at pilot scale compared to commercial plastics. Hence, this research work spotlights on production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) using Bacillus endophyticus MTCC 9021 in different dilutions of untreated distillery effluent (1025%) among which 10% dilutions exhibited maximum PHA production. Statistical optimization through Response surface methodology yielded a maximum PHA of 6.45 0.07 g/L. The obtained PHA was analysed by FTIR and NMR which confirms the polymer to be polyhydroxybutyrate. The extracted PHA was reduced to nanoscale to develop PHA nanosheet which exposed higher oil absorption and retention ability than normal PHA sheet. Further the rapid degradation of PHA nanosheet with synthetic plastics in garden soil emphasises their unique application in wide sectors. 2020, 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. -
Distillery effluent valorization through cost effective production of polyhydroxyalkanoate: optimization and characterization
The devastating effect of fossil plastics in the biosphere has tuned the concern for bioplastic production in the last few decades. Polyhydroxyalkanoate, a biopolyester, has a wide range of applications as they impose positive societal impact by being biodegradable and void of any ill-effects when used in vivo. Despite their eco-friendly nature, the outreach of PHA is bounded in industrial scale as the overall expense is highly comparable to conventional plastics. Therefore, in an attempt to attain a feasible production, the present study aims at utilizing raw distillery effluent for PHA production using Bacillus subtilis NCDC 0671. Different dilutions of spent wash (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were assessed for PHA production in the modified medium among which 10% showed maximum PHA accumulation. Furthermore, statistical optimization by response surface methodology enhanced PHA synthesis to 6.3g/L which is 3.3-fold increases. FTIR and NMR characterization of the biopolymer from the optimized medium was similar to the previous literature which provides a promising approach for cost effective production. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. -
Banana peels as a cost effective substrate for fungal chitosan synthesis: optimisation and characterisation
Massive accumulation of unprocessed banana peels enthralls sustainable issues as they are eventually dumped as landfills leading to emission of obnoxious gasses. To avoid these persisting challenges the present study shims lights on chitosan production from the characterised fungal strain using banana peel hydrolysate as an effective medium. Substantial amount of carbohydrate in banana peels serves as a potential solution for fungal chitosan production in a view to attain a circular bioeconomy and repurposed for synthesis of beneficial products in a cost effective manner. Presence of fermentable sugars in banana peels qualifies them as a feasible substrate which could be exploited for scaling up of fungal chitosan synthesis. Screened isolate was subjected to statistical optimisation using formulated medium to elucidate the influential factors that had significant effect on chitosan production. The harvested chitosan biomass was characterised through standardised techniques and evaluated for further studies. Statistical optimisation reveals that ammonium nitrate (5 g/L), pH (6) and incubation time (144 hrs) were the three PBD variables that had a greater influence on fungal chitosan yield. The validated developed model exhibited maximum yield of 200 mg/L, a 4.4 fold increase than unoptimised medium (45 mg/L). These findings emphasise the fermentative synthesis of chitosan through valorisation of banana peel prop up a complementary approach in concomitant with preserving renewable resources and bioproduct formation. 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. -

Energy Efficient Evolutionary Algorithm based Clustering with Route Selection Protocol for IoT Assisted Wireless Sensor Networks
Internet of Things (IoT) assisted wireless sensor network (WSN) finds its applicability in several real-time tracking and surveillance applications. However, it suffers from various issues such as restricted battery capacity, repeated interruptions owing to multi-hop data transmission, and limited communication range. Gathering and multihop directing are considered effective solutions to complete enhanced energy competence and a generation of IoT-assisted WSN. An NP-hard problematic that can be handled with an evolutionary algorithm is the collection of the cluster head (CH) and the best potential paths to the goal. Both of these problems involve finding the optimum route to the target (EA). In this context, this study presents the design of the Energy Efficient Evolutionary Algorithm-based Clustering with Route Selection (EEEA-CRS) Protocol for Internet of Things-Assisted Wireless Sensor Networks (IoT-Assisted WSN). The EEEA-CRS technique that has been proposed has the primary intention of enhancing the energy efficiency as well as the lifetime of the IoT-assisted WSN. The EEEA-CRS approach that has been presented is broken down into its basic parts, which are the Fuzzy Chicken Swarm Optimization based Clustering (FCSO-C) phase and the Biogeography Optimization-based Multihop Routing phase (BBO-MHR). The FCSO-C technique that has been suggested chooses CHs with the use of a fitness function that takes into account residual energy, inter-cluster distance, and intra-cluster detachment. In adding, the BBO-MHR strategy identifies the optimum pathways to BS by taking into account the costs of communicating with other clusters, both within and between them. A number of different simulations were carried out in order to demonstrate that the EEEA-CRS methodology yields superior results. The EEEA-CRS method was shown to be superior to other methods in use today, according to the findings of an exhaustive comparison and study. EverScience Publications. -
Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and metanil yellow dyes using green synthesized zinc oxide (Zno) nanocrystals
In this work, ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) have been effectively synthesized by a simple, efficient and cost-effective method using coconut husk extract as a novel fuel. The synthesized NCs are characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, Raman and PL studies. The obtained ZnO were found to be UV-active with a bandgap of 2.93 eV. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the crystallinity of the ZnO with hexagonally structured ZnO with a crystallite size of 48 nm, while the SEM analysis reveals the hexagonal bipyramid morphology. Photocatalytic activities of the synthesized ZnO NCs are used to degrade methylene blue and metanil yellow dyes. 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
