An Investigation into the Enhancement of Vocabulary Knowledge Using the YouTube Stories of Undergraduate English Language Learners

Learning vocabulary is an essential element of learning a language. To better assist language learners, it is crucial to enhance the vocabulary of language learners. This paper investigates how YouTube stories affect English language learners’ vocabulary. The study is crucial because it investigates how the use of YouTube short stories affects vocabulary development at the tertiary level (n=40). A pre-test was used to assess the vocabulary level of students in the control and experimental groups before intervention. A post-test was then used to determine how YouTube storytelling influenced students' ability to learn new words. Storytelling on YouTube was used as the experimental group, and the traditional approach of learning vocabulary through storytelling served as the control group. Pre-reading activities, reading comprehension exercises, and post-reading discussion activities were all included in the YouTube story application. The paired sample t-test and the independent sample t-test were used to disprove the null hypothesis. The experimental group had a significantly higher word performance post-test score than the control group

Edge Italian Domination in some wheel related graphs

A function f:E(G) →{0,1,2} is an edge Italian dominating function (EIDF) if it satisfies the rule that every edge with weight 0 is either adjacent to an edge with weight 2 or adjacent to at least two edges with weight 1 each. The weight of an EIDF is ∑_(e∈E(G))▒〖f(e)〗. The minimum ∑_(e∈E(G))▒〖f(e)〗is the edge Italian domination number (EIDN). The symbol (γ_I ) ́ (G) is used to denote the EIDN. In this paper, we obtain the EIDN of some wheel related graphs like gear graph, helm graph, flower graph, web graph etc

Nutrient uptake and soil fertility status after harvest of Bt cotton as influenced by graded levels of NPK fertilizers in Alfisol

Field studies were conducted at farmer’s fields in Jodalli (Kalghatgi taluk) and Pale (Hubballi taluk) villages in 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively to investigate the effect of NPK fertilizers on uptake of nutrients by Bt cotton and soil fertility status at harvest in Alfisol. Among the different treatment combinations, the application of 150:50:75 kg N:P2O5:K2O ha-1 (N3P1K2) recorded significantly (P=0.05) higher nitrogen (132.63 kg ha-1), phosphorus (31.26 kg ha-1) and potassium (128.94 kg ha-1) uptake by cotton. The interaction effect with respect to total micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu) uptake remained non significant at all the growth stages. Graded levels of fertilizers failed to exert significant impact on pH and electrical conductivity, soil organic carbon and available micronutrients during both the years of experimentation. The application of 100:50:50 kgN:P2O5:K2O ha-1 (N1P1K1) recorded significantly (P=0.05) highest available nitrogen (150.39 kg ha-1), available phosphorus (37.98 kg ha-1) and available potassium (230.99 kg ha-1) compared to rest of the treatments. The lowest available nitrogen (134.92 kg ha-1), available phosphorus (31.65 kg ha-1) and available potassium (217.63 kg ha-1) were recorded in treatment receiving 150:50:75 kg N:P2O5:K2O ha-1 (N3P1K2)

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS IN INDIA – A STRUCTURAL REVIEW

This research offers a comprehensive analysis of the structural aspects of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) in India, covering the period from the pre-liberalization era to the current time. The research paper examines the IPO landscape in India, a vibrant economy in Asia, by gathering a comprehensive dataset from various sources, including the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) archives, financial reports, and other pertinent sources. It analyzes the evolutionary patterns, regulatory changes, and significant events that have influenced the development of IPOs in the country. The primary findings indicate that regulatory changes, economic growth trajectories, and global financial conditions have significantly influenced initial public offerings (IPOs) volume and valuation. The research methodology involved meticulous data collection from reputable academic databases, primarily Mendeley and Scopus, spanning over five decades. This extensive dataset forms the foundation for our robust and insightful analysis. The study additionally emphasizes the significance of India's distinctive socio-economic structure, which has enabled and restricted the advancement of the capital market. By conducting a comparative analysis between India's framework and worldwide best practices, this study aims to identify areas of convergence and divergence. The paper finishes by providing policy proposals that enhance the resilience and inclusiveness of the Indian Initial Public Offering (IPO) market for a diverse range of issuers and investors. JEL: O10, O16  Article visualizations

HIBISCUS ROSA SINENSIS LOADED SOLID LIPID NANOPARTICLES AND IN VIVO WOUND HEALING ACTIVITY IN WISTAR ALBINO RATS

Objective: The objective of the present research was to investigate the wound-healing potency of solid lipid nano particles of Hibiscus rosa sinensis extract. Crude herbal extracts and rudimentary formulations containing herbal extracts are good for demonstrating the feasibility of the concept; however, such formulations suffer with poor oral bioavailability and variability within groups of subjects. Converting herbal extracts into novel drug delivery systems may prove effective in addressing some of these problems. Methods: In the present study an attempt was made to develop Hibiscus rosa sinensis extract loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (HSLNs) using lipids glycerol monostearate (GMS) or beeswax. The prepared HSLNs were characterised for their size, surface charge and morphology. The optimized HSLNs were incorporated into Carbopol gel and tested for wound healing activity in male Wistar albino rats using excision wound model. Results: HSLNs of ~175 nm in size carrying negative charge were obtained with the optimised procedure using beeswax. The shape of the HSLNs was nearly spherical. The HSLNs (10 mg/ml) treated wounds healed much faster compared to raw crude extract and healing was comparable to marketed preparation. Conclusion: It is concluded that converting crude herbal extracts into SLNs can be an effective way to enhance the effectiveness of herbal extracts and their in vivo activity

Relationships between Explosive Performance Potential and Detonation Properties-Application of Dimensional Analysis and G-Inverses

An approach based on dimensional analysis has been used to obtain relationships between the detonation properties of a high explosive and its performance potential (Xpp) as measured by strength and brisance tests. A matrix is set up wherein each physical quantity is expressed in terms of basic dimensions (M, L, T) and solved using the method of generalised inverses. A correlation analysis has been carried out between XppS calculated from property data for 29 military explosives using these expressions and strength/brisance values. The paper discusses the results obtained and their utility. New expressions relating P and other detonation properties have also been derived and tested for the degree of correlation

IMPACT OF ECONOMIC VARIABLES ON IPOs IN INDIA - AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

This article aims to examine the hypothesis that local macroeconomic factors affect the volume of initial public offerings (IPOs) in a rising market, India, between 2015 and 2022. Initial public offerings (IPOs) are shown to have a positive correlation with industrial output and a negative correlation with interest rates. Using co-integration and Vector Error Correction models, we find a long-run equilibrium link between interest rates, industrial output, and initial public offerings (IPOs). Using a Markov regime-switching regression model, we also find that the effect of interest rates on IPO numbers is much more significant in the cold IPO regime than in the IPO hot regime. The empirical result seems to detect the IPO market's trend with a fair amount of accuracy. The findings demonstrate that a hot IPO market regime develops when investors start seeing extraordinarily high early returns, and their expectations about the future interest rate indicate the eagerness of entrepreneurs and managers to enter the IPO market. Conversely, a government's pursuit of monetary tightening causes investors to shy away from the IPO markets because they anticipate future profits will fall owing to rising interest rates and the price of shares will be harmed due to reduced dividend yield. JEL: O10, O16  Article visualizations
