Experiences of Students with Learning Disabilities in Higher Education: A Scoping Review
Background: As the number of students with learning disabilities (SwLD) entering higher education (HE) increases, a need arises to improve the services provided to them by understanding their experiences. This scoping review explores the extent and type of evidence on the experiences of SwLD in HE. Method: The review followed the six stages outlined by Arksey and OMalley. PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO, ProQuest, and APA PsycNet were searched for primary data, and studies published between January 2012 and July 2022 were included. The following information was extracted and collated from the included studies: author/s, year, location, objective/aim, study design, materials and methods, and major findings. Results: The search yielded 3729 titles and abstracts. Their screening resulted in 26 eligible articles. The review of these articles identified three major themes: (a) academic concerns, (b) psychosocial experiences, and (c) support systems and accommodations. The academic concerns included difficulties in areas such as reading, writing, and spelling. The studies on psychosocial experiences showed that SwLD experience stress, anxiety, and lower self-esteem. The studies on support systems and accommodations indicate that they get academic support, technological support, and extra time for examinations from educational institutions. Conclusion: The SwLD experiences academic and psychosocial challenges during higher studies. However, the existing support systems do not address these challenges, and there is a need for further research in this area. 2023 The Author(s). -

Line completion number of grid graph Pn Pm
The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) is a complete graph. In this paper, we find the line completion number of grid graph Pn Pm for various cases of n and m. 2021 Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University. -
Mathematics as an agent of dialogue in the society
Though Mathematics is mostly considered as a subject of the intelligent, it is used by everybody for daily activities. It acts as an efficient agent of dialogue in the society. Its role in transferring abstract knowledge to concrete experience, in interpreting the unknown and as a tool for problem-solving are discussed in this paper. Mathematics also helps human beings to transcend from concrete experience to abstract knowledge. This paper showcases various elements of Mathematics over a wide spectrum, from those useful in everyday life of human beings to the discussions on potential and actual infinity. Mathematics is an integral part of human life and an essential tool in knowing the universe. We do not deliberately side with any of the schools in Mathematics or that of Philosophy. 2017 Journal of Dharma: Dharmaram Journal of Religions and Philosophies (DVK, Bangalore). -
Balanced constrained partitioning of distinct objects
Partition is the process of dividing ? elements of a set into ? non-empty subsets where every element is included in exactly one subset. Set partitioning problems play an important role in real-world scenarios such as scheduling, management and grouping. In this paper, n distinct objects are arranged into different groups and the problem of partition is evaluated concerning a people assignment problem of a multi-site company. New constraints such as minimum and the maximum number of people in a single-site company (respectively m and M) that are fixed for all sites are introduced and the solutions for the partition problem for the constraints are also established.

Inverse Problem for the Forgotten and the Hyper Zagreb Indices of Trees
Let G = (E(G); V (G)) be a (molecular) graph with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G). The forgotten Zagreb index and the hyper Zagreb index of G are defined by F(G) = P u2V (G) d(u)3 and HM(G) = P uv2E(G)(d(u) + d(v))2 where d(u) and d(v) are the degrees of the vertices u and v in G, respectively. A recent problem called the inverse problem deals with the numerical realizations of topological indices. We see that there exist trees for all even positive integers with F(G) > 88 and with HM(G) > 158. Along with the result, we show that there exist no trees with F(G) lt; 90 and HM(G) lt; 160 with some exceptional even positive integers and hence characterize the forgotten Zagreb index and the hyper Zagreb index for trees. 2022 The authors. -
New developments in the study of parity signed graphs
A signed graph has all its edges signed with either negative or positive signs. Parity signed graphs are generated from the integer labeling of the vertices of a graph. An edge gets a positive sign if its end vertices are of the same parity and gets a negative sign if its end vertices are of the opposite parity. Signed graphs which admit parity labeling can be characterized. All parity signed graphs are balanced but not the converse. 2020 Author(s). -
Deforestation, Climate Change and the Sustainability of Agriculture: A Review
This study aims to survey the literature and factual evidence on the nexus between deforestation and agriculture through an assessment of the potential impacts of climate change in the context of the world, India, and the Western Ghats. The Western Ghats region was chosen for this study because of its deep ecological significance. A few underlying themes were created and findings were documented under each theme that ranged from the causes of deforestation, the transformation of forest land for agriculture, the nexus between agriculture, deforestation and climate change, climate-driven agricultural vulnerability and the reconciliation of forest protection with agriculture. These findings suggest that shifting agriculture has been a dominant source of deforestation. The primary climatic impacts on agriculture are seen through crop yield falls. Indias arid and semiarid tropical regions have witnessed high climate-driven agricultural sensitivity. This could be on account of the fact that Indias tropical forests have witnessed high deforestation. The presence of higher tree densities in areas under Joint Forest Planning and Management in the Western Ghats create the potential for sparing remaining land areas for non-forest uses such as agriculture. 2024, Editorial office of Journal of Resources and Ecology.

Towards a Model: Examining the Positive Associations of Warmth, Competence, and Familiarity with Musicians' Attitudes Towards AI
This study investigates attitudes towards AI musicians through a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Data analysis focuses on the interplay between Anthropomorphism Degree (AD), Listening Type (LT), Warmth (W), Competence (C), Attitude (A), and Familiarity (F). The sample comprises 211 valid responses from college students, exploring perceptions via a questionnaire. Results indicate significant positive associations between attitudes towards AI and Competence, Familiarity, and Warmth. However, predictive validity analysis suggests caution in relying solely on the PLS-SEM model. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPMA) highlights competence as the primary influencer of attitudes towards AI, emphasizing its critical role over Warmth and Familiarity. This study contributes to understanding the nuanced dimensions of human interactions with AI musicians. 2024 IEEE. -
Linear and non-linear analysis of solute-magneto convection in a couple stress fluid with porous medium under concentration modulation
The effect of concentration modulation and magnetic field in a couple stress fluid with porous medium and salted from above is studied using linear and non-linear analysis. Venezian approach based on perturbation method is used to obtain the expression for solute Rayleigh number and correction solute Rayleigh number. The expression for correction solute Rayleigh number is obtained as a function of couple stress parameter, Chandrashekar number, Darcy number and Schmidt number. The effect of parameters on symmetric and asymmetric concentration modulation are discussed in the paper. A non-autonomous Ginzburg-Landau equation with time periodic co-efficient is obtained to study the effect of parameters on mass transfer. It is found that onset of convection and mass transfer can be delayed or advanced by varying the parameters of the problem. Asymmetric modulation is found to be more stable than the symmetric modulation. 2019 Author(s). -
Significance of induced magnetic field and exponential space dependent heat source on quadratic convective flow of Casson fluid in a micro-channel via HPM
The effects of the exponential space based heat source on quadratic convective flow of Casson fluid in a microchannel with an induced magnetic field is studied through a statistical approach. The flow is considered in vertical microchannel formed by two vertical plates. The solution for the governing equations has been obtained for the velocity, induced magnetic field and temperature field using Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The current density, skin friction co-efficient and Nusselt number expressions are also estimated. The impact of various physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, induced magnetic field, current density, skin friction co-efficient and Nusselt number distributions have been discussed with the help of graphs. The results obtained by using HPM, are compared to those obtained by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4-5th order method and an excellent agreement is found. The impact of Casson fluid parameter and the exponential heat source is qualitatively agreed for all flow fields. 2019 IIETA. -
A Review of biophilic design at Kuttikattoor school for the children
The objective of this paper is the creation of a school to help the children of Kutikatoor live a more accessible and simpler life: students in the concentration range from 4 to 16 (Play School - - Grade 10). The proposed location, which is around 18.3 acres in size, lies in Kuttikattoor, Kozhikode, and Kerala. The land is surrounded by greenery and situated in a mountainous area. The study will concentrate on how biophilic architecture and design may enhance students' lives. This paper will discuss how biophilic design may benefit schools by creating circulation and spatial connections between the built and natural environments. The biophilic design can have quantifiable beneficial effects on student performance and well-being by including natural components. It is necessary to thoroughly analyze the biophilic design in relation to the learning environment for students, using ideas of ecological, visual, and spatial integration. By fostering a soothing atmosphere, lowering anxiety, and boosting physical fitness, biophilic design, which incorporates natural light, greenery, and nature vistas, can increase attention, decrease stress, stimulate creativity, and improve academic accomplishment. The school's design will be implemented by incorporating the architectural design into the contoured regions and using the idea of biophilic design patterns. Depending on the climate and the site's orientation, the design will be implemented such that locally accessible materials are employed in a hilly area. This detailed analysis of the case study and literature review for the school design will help us to design and conceptualize as an architect. Further, the study will also emphasize biophilic design which is aligned with the built environment in school design. The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. -
Multi-dynamics and emission tailored fluoroperovskite-based down-conversion phosphors for enhancing the current density and stability of the perovskite solar cells
State-of-the-art and innovative research is being intensively employed on perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to expand their frontiers further. This study is a successful attempt to drive the limit of photocurrent density (Jsc) beyond conventional PSCs (which typically utilize the visible spectrum alone) through a nonlinear optical phenomenon called down-conversion (DC). The use of DC luminescence to harness the UV region from the solar spectrum is explored by utilizing Eu3+ activated RbCaF3, a fluoroperovskite-based phosphor material. It is observed that PSCs, which used RbCaF3:Eu3+ incorporated TiO2 electron transport layer (ETL), enhanced their Jsc and UV stability compared to those with pristine TiO2-oriented ETL. Such improvement in the aforementioned devices is due to the result of converting high-energy UV photons to effectively absorbable low-energy visible photons for perovskite absorbers. Overall, the DC-aided PSC offered a substantial Jsc of 23.54 mA cm?2 (9.2% superior to the conventional PSC) and boosted its power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 11.2% to 13.3%. It is evident that DC-based PSCs show a much better shelf-life when compared to conventional PSCs. This unique approach for boosting the Jsc with enhanced stability can be utilized for the potential applications of PSCs. 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry. -
Catalyzing the Affordability of Perovskite Solar Cells with Aluminum-Modified Cubic Titania
As a key component of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the electron transport layer (ETL) extracts charges efficiently. While TiO2 is widely recognized as a superior electron transport material (ETM) for its numerous advantages, the morphological limitations of spherical TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) lead to significant electron losses. Therefore, as an alternative to nanospheres, TiO2 nanocubes are synthesized through a solvothermal route and employed as ETM in the low-cost carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells (CPSCs). The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the TiO2 nanocubes (NCs) are studied and compared with TiO2 nanospheres (NSs) in detail. The device possessing cubic TiO2 achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.6% with a current density (Jsc) of 21.79 mA/cm2. Recognizing that the oxygen vacancies in cubic TiO2 are lower than in spherical TiO2, it is inferred that further reduction of oxygen vacancies in cubic TiO2 could enhance the current collection. Hence, to get rid of the oxygen vacancy (which acts as an electron trap) in the cubical TiO2, aluminum (Al3+) is incorporated into its matrix. A comprehensive analysis of its impact on structural and optical behavior follows. In addition to its cost-effectiveness and conductive nature, it has been observed that the stable form of Al3+ replaces the unstable Ti3+ (which acts as a trap state), thereby reducing the recombination rate. With the highest current collection of 22.85 mA/cm2, a PCE of 11.3% has been recorded for the solar cell that possessed 1% Al-doped TNC. Furthermore, the ambient stability of the respective device shows ?85% of its initial PCE. The effect of the TiO2 nanostructure and Al3+ doping in TiO2 nanocubes is discussed elaborately in this work. 2024 American Chemical Society
