Impact of Integrated Explicit Instruction on Development of Critical Thinking Skills and Dispositions among Adolescents
Critical thinking is an essential skill that is required for survival in the twenty first newlinecentury. Educational institutions are gearing up to align their curriculum to ensure the development of critical thinking skills and dispositions among their candidates. However, there are few empirical studies that layout a clear road map of instructional strategies for the teaching of critical thinking. Given that adolescents are the most receptive to neurobiological skill and disposition development and that Literature is one of the best platforms that connects to real life, this research uses the educational design research method to develop an Integrated Explicit Instruction (IEI) module that could be used in English classes to teach adolescents critical thinking skills and develop in them critical thinking dispositions. This research not only bridges the gap in an empirically tested instructional strategy to teach critical thinking but also lays the foundation for further longitudinal studies that could measure the development of critical thinking skills and dispositions long term in participants who have been exposed to the intervention. -

Impact of knowledge management on organizational performance: An application of structural equation modeling
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the dynamic relationships among the essential knowledge management (KM) constructs, i.e. strategy, enablers and processes, and to establish their links to organizational performance using a holistic integrated model. Design/methodology/approach: The structural equation modeling approach was used in the research study. The primary data were collected from IT managers in Indian software firms. Findings: The study successfully tested an integrated KM model in an Indian scenario. The study found that the KM strategy, enablers and processes had a significant positive relationship with the organizational performance. An appropriately designed KM strategy significantly influenced the KM enablers and KM process. KM enablers nurtured in an organization positively impacted the KM process. Furthermore, the KM process partially mediated the relationship between the KM strategy and organizational performance, and partially mediated the relationship between KM enablers and organizational performance. Originality/value: This study is one of the few to empirically establish how the essential KM constructs of strategy, enablers and processes together impact organizational performance. 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited. -
Impact of language-based diversity on affective, normative and continuance commitments level amid techs
Language-based diversity is a relatively understudied area within diversity research. The present paper examines the effects of language-based diversity among IT employees on levels of affective, normative and continuance commitments in Bengaluru, Cosmopolitan city. In primary data, responses are collected through well framed questionnaires and direct interaction with the employees to selected sample of 550 respondents of 10 Information Technology organisations in Bengaluru city. The independence of the two characteristics mother tongue and continuance commitment was tested using Cramers V statistic and the asymptotic significance value of 0.000 resulted into the conclusion that the two characteristics are not independent. 51.9% of the employees with mother tongue Tamil have high level continuance commitment. Cramers V statistic was used to test the independence of the two attributes namely, mother tongue and total commitment, and it was found that the asymptotic significance value is 0.000 which is less than 0.05. Hence it was found that the characteristics are not independent. IAEME Publication. -
Impact of Learnability Quotient on Employability of Students: Mediating Role of Spiritual Intelligence
This study investigates the impact of Learnability Quotient (LQ) on Employability, with a particular focus on the mediating role of Spiritual Intelligence (SI). Conducted in southern India with a cross-sectional design, the research utilizes primary data collected from educated adults through surveys. The study aims to elucidate cause-and-effect relationships between LQ and Employability and to test hypotheses regarding these variables. The findings reveal that Learnability Quotient and Employability significantly influence each other, with both being affected by age. Education also plays a crucial role in determining employability, while Spiritual Intelligence and Learnability Quotient are less influenced by educational level. The type of institution does not significantly affect these factors, although the location of the institution does impact Spiritual Intelligence and Employability. Correlation analysis shows that higher Spiritual Intelligence correlates moderately with both Learnability Quotient and Employability, while Learnability Quotient has a strong positive association with Employability. Mediation analysis uncovers a complex dynamic where, despite the positive direct effect of Learnability Quotient on Employability, its impact is diminished when mediated through Spiritual Intelligence, as indicated by a negative Variance Accounted For (VAF). Learnability Quotient is crucial for enhancing employability, while Spiritual Intelligence has a nuanced, potentially counterproductive mediation role. Further research is necessary to refine strategies for improving employability through these variables. 2024, Iquz Galaxy Publisher. All rights reserved. -
Impact of Learning Functions on Prediction of Stock Data in Neural Network
Digitization has made a vast impact on the modern society. Financial sector is one field where a huge revolution has been experienced because of digitization. Financial data especially time series data is being stored in the digital repositories where it can be used for prediction and analysis. One such data is a stock market data which is a time series data and is generated in a huge amount every second. The stock market data is of great importance as the proper analysis and prediction of data can transform the fate of the global market. Thus the companies and the individuals are looking forward for the development of the automated techniques that can predict stock market data accurately in a real time. In this regard, many researchers developed machine learning techniques such as use of neural network for prediction of stock data. The most common learning function used in neural network is sigmoid function. However, we found that there are many learning functions are available for building neural network. In this paper we are studying the impact of four different learning functions in estimating/predicting the stock value. From the experimental study we found that unipolar sigmoid learning function produced an accuracy of 95.65%, bipolar sigmoid produced an accuracy of 91.34%, tan hyperbolic equation produced an accuracy of 91.02%, and radial base equation produced an accuracy of 87.53%. Clearly, unipolar sigmoid function emerged as the best learning function to build stock data prediction model. The main reason behind its out-performance of unipolar sigmoid is its less complex structure and the 0 to 1 range. 2018 IEEE. -
Impact of Leverage on Valuation of Non-Financial Firms in India under Profitabilitys Moderating Effect: Evidence in Scenarios Applying Quantile Regression
The firms valuation (FV) is the key element for all stakeholders, particularly the investors, for their investment decisions. The main impetus of this research is to estimate the effects of the debt ratio (DR, i.e., leverage) on the FV (i.e., assets and market capitalisation) of the non-financial firms listed in India. The quantile panel data regression (QPDR) on the secondary data of 76 non-financial BSE-100 listed firms in India is employed. This study also checks the effect of the net profit margin (NPM) as profitability on the association between DR and FV. The QPDR estimates result in multiple quantiles and provide evidence in scenarios. The findings reveal a positive relationship of DR to assets only in higher quantiles, i.e., 90%ile), and a negative association of DR is found with a market capitalisation in all quantiles. Under the interaction effect, profitability (NPM) does not affect the association of DR with assets but negatively affects the association of debt ratio with market capitalisation in the middle (50%) quantile. The findings indicate that leverage (DR) affects a firms value. The studys outcomes are helpful to all stakeholders, particularly investors, to realise the leverage (DR) as a critical indicator of FV before making any investment decisions. Managers should also consider lower debt ratios for better firm value. The present analysis is original and holds novelty in the form of the moderating role of the net profit margin, i.e., the profitability of the firm between DR and FV in the non-financial firm in India. To the best of our knowledge, no such studies have been performed to look for the association of the debt ratio with a firms value under the effect of profitability in different quantiles using quantile regression. 2023 by the authors. -
Impact of Life Skills Education on Self-Esteem among Adolescents in Childrens Home
The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of life skills education on self-esteem among adolescents in Childrens Home. The design was experimental and used a pre-test/ post-test design with a control group. Sixty adolescents (30 males and 30 females) from Childrens Home comprised the experimental group (N=30) and control group (N= 30) who were selected from Childrens Homes in Kannur district, Kerala. A life skills education programme was prepared and included sessions towards improving self-esteem among adolescents in the age group 13-15 years. The Rosenbergs Self-Esteem Scale (1965) was administered before and after the life skills education programme to the adolescents. The results indicate that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control group in their self-esteem after life skills education programme including gender differences. The implication of the study reiterates that the inclusion of life skills as part of the curriculum for adolescents residing in Childrens Home plays a role in enhancing self- esteem.

Impact of Lysinibacillus macroides, a potential plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on growth, yield and nutritional value of tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L. F1 hybrid Sachriya)
Plant growth promoting bacteria enhance the growth in plants by solubilizing insoluble minerals, producing phytohormones and by secreting enzymes that resist pathogen attack. The present study was aimed at identifying the potential of Lysinibacillus macroides isolated from pea plant possessing rich microbial rhizobiome diversity in promoting the growth of tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Potential of L. macroides in the promotion of S. lycopersicum L. growth by increased shoot length, terminal leaf length and breadth was assessed. Anatomical sectioning of stem and root revealed no varied cellular pattern indicating that the supplemented bioculture is not toxic to S. lycopersicum. Plantlets treated with L. macroides along with organic compost showed an increased total phenol content (17.580.4 mg/gm) compared to control samples (12.440.41 mg/g). Carbohydrate content was noticed to be around 1.3 folds higher in the L. macroides plus compost mixture supplemented slots compared to control sample. Significant increase in shoot length was evident in the L. macroides plus compost supplied slots (23.42.7 cm). Plant growth promoting properties might be due to the nitrogen fixing activity of the bacteria which enrich the soil composition along with the nutrients supplied by the organic compost. Rich microbial rhizobiome diversity in pea plant and the usage of L. macroides from a non-conventional source improves the diversity of the available PGPR for agricultural practices. Further research is needed to detect the mechanism of growth promotion and to explore the plant microbe interaction pathway. Jyolsna et al. (2021). -

Impact of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act on Rural Credit System in India: A Standard Logit Difference in Difference Approach
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) of India is one of the most extensive social safety nets programs in the developing world. The initiative attempts to enhance rural livelihoods in India by lowering rural poor vulnerability and misery. The programs nature and extent of execution vary from state to state. Using panel data sets from the Indian Human Development Survey (IHDS), which covering India for two waves, 200405 and 201112. We used a quasi-experimental approach, such as the difference-in-difference technique of effect evaluation, to quantify the programs influence on rural families credit and debt structures. The empirical analysis shows evidence of changing the behavior of taking loans from formal sources among non-poor households actively participating in the MGNREGA program. But the difference-in-difference results shows that among poor households participating in the MGNREGA scheme, the tendency to depend on formal sources to take loans is still insignificant. That means informal lending sources are still more prevalent among poor people. This tendency has not changed even after the initiation of this program. The article finishes with policy recommendations for successfully targeting the program, notably the social safety net benefits to disadvantaged households in India. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
