 Abstract

Often referred to as "thinking about thinking," metacognition is essential to self-directed learning (SDL), which is becoming more and more significant for college students navigating higher education. Metacognition in SDL refers to the capacity to keep an eye on and control one's own learning processes in order to enhance the caliber of learning experiences and results. Self-directed learning (SDL), which calls for students to take charge of their education, manage their learning, and track their progress independently, is a critical ability for success in higher education. Improving SDL requires metacognition or the awareness and management of one's own learning processes. Through a study of theoretical frameworks, empirical data, and implications for academic accomplishment, this paper investigates the relationship between metacognition and SDL among college students. Students can enhance learning outcomes, adjust to various circumstances, and develop into lifelong learners by cultivating metacognitive awareness. The article describes students' difficulties in developing metacognitive skills and offers techniques for doing so.

 Abstract

The report focused on the violence that occurs when hydraulic scissor lifts expand and accumulate. Typically, hydraulic scissor lifts are utilized for lifting purposes. There are several factors that are dependent on material choice, which can write cards on the machine be it durability, reliability, strength, resistance, etc. It all contributes towards the life of the Hassar lever. The forthcoming assignment will be focused on the manufacturing of hydraulic scissor lifts. Scissor lifts have been employed to lift the body to a great height, as well as numerous alternative purposes of maintenance.

 Abstract

The Project Management System (PMS) is a web system that facilitates the submission of academic projects and their evaluation for B-Tech students. PMS is developed in Python with Flask and SQLite. It enables users to submit projects and files for assessment through a web interface, making the process more efficient. The system features role-based access control, so different types of users have distinct permissions. The students in the system can submit their projects, while the administrators are able to assess the submissions and give feedback. Another interesting feature of PMS is the question and answer module, which allows students and administrators to interact directly in the system to ask questions about projects. It facilitates equity in the evaluation of projects as users can view their submission status alongside any feedback offered. Also, it streamlines the academic workflow by offering a framework for easy submission, assessment, and communication regarding the projects. Besides, PMS facilitates the safe storage and management of the project data, ensuring the integrity and accessibility for the users. PMS eliminates the manual workload related to project submission and evaluation, improving interaction between students and admins. By allowing all communication for academic projects to take place within a single system, usability and efficiency are maximized, resulting in better academic progress.

 Abstract

--Sign language serves as a crucial communication medium for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. This research presents a real-time sign language recognition system that enhances accessibility through intuitive gesture-based inter? actions. The system consists of three key components: 1. Text-to-Sign Conversion Transforms input text into corre? sponding sign language images. 2. Gesture Recognition Predicts and displays recognized hand signs as text and speech output. 3. Smart Assistant Enables users to control system settings such as brightness and volume and launch applications like YouTube using predefned gestures. Unlike traditional machine learning-based approaches, our system leverages convolutional neural networks (CNN) along with rule-based gesture mapping and computer vision techniques for accurate recognition and execution of commands. The model is trained on American Sign Language (ASL) fnger spelling gestures, where hand position and orientation are used for training and testing. The captured images are preprocessed using flters and passed through a classifer to predict gesture classes before being fed into the CNN model for further refnement. Experimental results demonstrate high accuracy and effciency, providing a seamless and interactive experience for individuals relying on sign language for communication and accessibility.

 Abstract

In the age of digital technology, there is a widespread use of mobile phones and other gadgets especially by adolescents. They are spending an average of 3-4 hours a day on messaging, chatting, gaming, watching videos etc. Due to the excessive use, adolescents are facing mental health issues. Though, the modern digital world brings a new height by making the communication smarter, quicker and full of knowledge among the adolescents, but at the same time it paves the ways towards its misuse and abuse. Thus, the digital world has both positive and negative effects on the young minds and their mental health. The present investigation focuses mainly on the analysis of findings of different studies conducted by the researchers. However, findings of literature reviews suggest a negative effects on the mental health of adolescents', but it differ basing on the type of use; procrastination and passive use are related to more negative effects, whereas, societal and active use are related to more positive effects. The use of digital technology has stronger effects on short-term markers of hedonic well-being (e.g. negative affect) than long-term measures of eudaimonic well-being (e.g. life satisfaction). The negative effect of it predisposes socio-emotional and psychological vulnerabilities, such as mental health disorders. Further, behavioural and emotional dysregulation and adverse experiences such as cyber bullying are also marked among them. Although adolescents are more vulnerable, effects are comparable for both adolescents and adults. It appears that both low and excessive use are related to decreased well-being, whereas moderate use is related to increased well-being. The current investigation still has many limitations: high-quality studies with large-scale samples, objective measures of digital technology use, and experience sampling of well-being are at the fore front for future research.

 Abstract

Financial inclusion is a key driver in the pursuit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), serving as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. By expanding access to financial services such as banking, credit, insurance, and digital payments, financial inclusion empowers individuals and communities--particularly the underserved, women, and small enterprises--to participate more fully in the formal economy. This paper examines the multifaceted role of financial inclusion in promoting economic stability, reducing inequalities, and enhancing opportunities for education, health, and entrepreneurship. It also explores the alignment between inclusive financial systems and specific SDGs, including those related to poverty (SDG 1), gender equality (SDG 5), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). Despite notable progress, challenges such as digital infrastructure gaps, regulatory constraints, and financial literacy remain. The study concludes that targeted policies, innovative financial technologies, and cross-sector collaboration are essential for leveraging financial inclusion as a sustainable tool for equitable development. Keywords: Financial inclusion, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), inclusive growth, poverty reduction, digital finance, economic empowerment, financial literacy, gender equality, financial access, economic development.

 Abstract

India is a nation known for its flamboyance and audacity. Governed by the pathos of human, caste, and creed divide, it holds a history drenched in mystery. The predicament of child exploitation and abuse has pertinently infected the grandeur of our nation since a long while. Making Munoo an archetype, Mulk Raj Anand in his Coolie has magnificently traced the plight of innocent kids being coerced to do vulnerable tasks. The paper portrays the abuse and exploitation faced by children in pre independence India through the life of Munoo.
