 Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between social media use and academic performance among students in Jharkhand, a state characterized by significant socio-economic and regional diversity. With the rapid integration of social media into daily life, understanding its impact on education has become crucial. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews, to explore how different patterns of social media use influence students' academic achievements. The findings reveal a nuanced relationship between social media use and academic performance. On one hand, social media serves as a valuable educational tool, providing access to academic resources, facilitating collaborative learning, and enhancing engagement. On the other hand, excessive use, particularly for non-educational purposes, is associated with lower academic performance due to increased distractions and reduced study time. Socio-economic status plays a significant role in moderating these effects. Students from higher socio-economic backgrounds generally experience fewer negative impacts from social media use due to better access to technology and digital literacy. Conversely, students from lower socio-economic backgrounds face greater challenges, including limited access to digital resources and poorer internet connectivity, which exacerbate the negative effects of social media. Regional variations also impact the relationship between social media and academic performance. Urban students, with more consistent access to technology and higher digital literacy, tend to benefit more from educational uses of social media compared to their rural counterparts, who may struggle with technology access and lower digital skills. The study concludes that while social media has the potential to enhance educational outcomes, its effectiveness is heavily influenced by socio-economic and regional factors. Recommendations include integrating social media into educational practices, providing training on responsible use, and addressing digital inequalities. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and explore targeted interventions to maximize social media's benefits while mitigating its drawbacks. This research contributes to the understanding of how digital tools impact education and provides actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to improve academic outcomes through effective social media use.

 Abstract

Faculty and students' perceptions of the barriers to effective online learning are referred to as perceived challenges. This involves the ability to consider multiple views on situations, as well as the ability to identify impediments that make one hesitant to take chances. The type of online learning technology utilized, infrastructure availability (internet and computers), and the employment of multiple learner management systems (LMSs) at higher education institutions are all likely to influence perceived difficulties. Assessment of Perceived usefulness, benefits, acceptance, and challenges is essential to plan for the strategies to strengthen the online learning status and minimize the obstacles. Also, the effectiveness of online learning in education is heavily dependent on instructors' attitudes toward technology (Avidov-Ungar & Eshet-Alkakay 2011; Salmon 2011; Teo 2011; Teo & Ursavas 2012). According to Liaw, Huang, and Chen (2007), "no matter how modern or powerful the technology is, its effective implementation is dependent on users' favorable attitude toward it." (Page 1069) Early research on teachers' attitudes toward technology development, adoption, and implementation defines attitudes toward technology as an effective (i.e., an experience of feeling or emotion) or evaluative assessment regarding the technology in issue (Davis, Bagozzi, & Warshaw, 1989). Thus, is the extent to which a person observes technology with the desire to use it (Barki & Hartwick, 1994). People are more likely to have a good attitude toward technology if they feel it is both essential and personally relevant (Rogers 2003; Teo 2011).

 Abstract

The digital era has seen an explosion of online video platforms, which has, in turn, amplified the risk of content piracy, posing significant challenges to content creators and distributors. This research focuses on mitigating unauthorized distribution by developing a system to match video frames across various online platforms. With Computer Vision, we introduce a robust and scalable framework that employs advanced image processing and machine learning techniques to accurately identify and match frames from moving images, despite differences in format, resolution, and compression. The proposed framework incorporates feature extraction, frame hashing, and deep learningbased similarity assessment to ensure high precision and recall in detecting pirated content. Extensive experiments on diverse datasets demonstrate our approach's superior accuracy and computational efficiency compared to existing methods. This study offers a comprehensive solution to video piracy and insights into developing crossplatform content identification systems, contributing to more secure and reliable digital media distribution.

 Abstract

This paper is an in-depth exploration of virtual health assistants (VHAs); AI integrated platforms capable of monitoring patients on health related issues. VHAs make use of advanced algorithms and natural language processing to give customized advice and support to persons mostly through conversational interfaces such as chatbots or virtual assistants [1]. For instance, an HVA can remind the patient to take their medication, provide information about their condition or treatment plan, monitor their symptoms or vital signs, and even recommend nutrition, sleep, or physical activity patterns customized to their own needs. Such VHAs momentarily contribute to patients' participation and outcomes because they supply life support and motivation beyond usual healthcare locations. Such as patients having chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension can gain through regular interactions with an eHealth assistant (eHealthA) that helps them to check on their condition, adhere to their treatment plan, and make well-calculated decisions on their general lifestyle. Second, VHAs help to improve healthcare access because they become a source of immediate help and resources [1]. However, most of the people live in the areas that do not have resources, anyway VHAs can serve as effective and on-demand assistance providers. Furthermore, VHAs improve patients ' engagement and healthcare access by automating routine tasks, communication with consumers, and collecting data for decision making. In this context, an integrated VHA into a primary care service can help with appointment setting, triage, and give educational materials to patients, thus making the physicians to align their focus on complex cases or prevention initiatives.

 Abstract

Global warming is most burning environmental curses ever to face with human society during last few decades. There has been a serious change in climate of the world because of this warming that has become a nightmare to scientists, researcher and academicians throughout the globe as this change leads to a fatal situation for the existence of life on this planet. Increased emission of different green house gases (GHG) is responsible for this alarming situation. This study is an attempt to develop a model which reflect the Green House Gases emission pattern in the Indian states of Jharkhand. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the leading green house gases which is responsible for Global Warming. Uncontrolled emission of the gas increases atmospheric temperature rapidly. Using historical data of carbon dioxide emission, a third-degree polynomial model has been developed analytically utilizing the method of least square. Quality of the proposed model is justified by the retrofitting process like regression analysis, residual analysis, coefficient of determination (R2) and adjusted R2 etc. The developed model well represents the gas emission and future prediction can be made through the Instantaneous Rate of Change (IROC) curve. The prediction in long/short term evolutionary trend of the gas emission analysed by IROC analysis. Proposed model gives good estimates and may be utilized for understanding the emission pattern of other green GHGs. This study is quite helpful for strategic warning and future planning so that the precautions can be taken in near future.
