From recent time Abacus program was used by Chinese, Japanese, Malaysians and Koreans to improve mathematical skills. The improvement in mathematical skills is due to a coordinated functioning of both right and left brain hemisphere. As learning and memory in any field is achieved by coordinating and analyzing the different sensory inputs, whether an abacus learner would also improve the short term memory. A group of 20 children of average IQ between 7 and 12 years from an abacus institute were evaluated for short term memory before and after a period of one and two years. The results showed that the abacus learners at the end of one and two years had a better visual and auditory memory with ability and positive attitude when compared to non abacus learners.

An Analysis of Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge on Number Sense Learni...AJHSSR Journal
This article is about an analysis of teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) during
teaching the concept of number for early childhood. Research subjects were three kindergarten teachers in
Depok area, West Java, Indonesia. This type of research is qualitative that analyzed the phenomenon of PCK
when teaching the concept of numbers to children aged 5-6 years. Researchers conducted two observations,
interviews and documentation studies. The results showed that the three respondents did not understand the
concept of numbers as a whole. Respondents also did not comprehend the definition of the concept of numbers
and the appropriate stages associated with the concept of numbers. In addition, the three teachers did not
understand the overall curriculum of early childhood education. However, with their sufficient teaching
experience, they were considered to have good teaching skills and good evaluation of learning process. The
obstacle faced by them was quite the same in which they still found it difficult to teach the concept of numbers
with different characteristics of children. It required a particular strategy for the teachers to overcome these
obstacles. The results of this study is expected to be a consideration to hold a professional workshop
development program in order to improve the professionalism of early childhood teachers particularly in
teaching mathematics.
This research was conducted due to the importance value of mathematics for early childhood and the fact some researches showed the early childhood education (ECE) teachers' low level of basic mathematical knowledge, especially the one related to childhood developmental stages. The participants of this research were 35 ECE teachers from one of the cities in West Java province with teaching experience approximately ten years. In this research, 30 minutes was given to the participants to solve 20 questions, which tested teachers' knowledge related to verbal counting sequence, counting, the ordinal number of words, addition/subtraction, divisions of sets, written number symbols, and words. Besides, the interview was conducted to get more indepth information from the participants. The quantitative descriptive analysis was used to identify the frequency, percentage, mean value, and standard deviation. The result of the research showed that ECE teachers had limited knowledge of children's mathematical development. It was revealed by the result of the mean value of the teachers’ responses, which were only 33% correct answers and 16% no idea answers. This result can become input for the stakeholders to hold a professional development program which aims to increase the quality of ECE teachers related to mathematical development activity.

The document discusses a study that examined the effect of medium of instruction (English vs native Odia language) on the development of cognitive processes in children in India. 80 children in 4th and 6th grade were given tests of planning, attention, simultaneous and successive processing. Results showed higher performance for English medium children on most measures. Cognitive processes improved with age/grade. The lone exception was an attention test where Odia medium children performed better, possibly due to less automatic word reading interfering. Overall, the study found that using a non-native language as the medium of instruction facilitated cognitive development compared to the native language.
Enhancing Pupils’ Knowledge of Mathematical Concepts through Game and Poemiosrjce
The study investigated the effects of game and poem enhanced instruction on pupils’ knowledge of
mathematics concepts in mathematics (Fractions and decimals, Volume of, cylinder; triangular prisms and
sphere; Capacity and Weight). A total of 344 pupils from twelve (12) public primary schools of Ogbia and
Yenagoa Local Government Areas of Bayelsa State, Nigeria were involved in the study. A pretest-posttest
control group quasi-experimental design was adopted in the research. The moderating effects of gender were
also examined on the independent and dependent variables. Using ANCOVA statistics, the results revealed that
pupils exposed to game and poem enhanced instruction have better mean score in knowledge of mathematics
concepts than the control groups. Poem was found to be more effective in improving pupils’ knowledge of
mathematics concepts than game and a non-significant gender difference existed in the mean scores in
knowledge of mathematics concepts. There was no significant interaction effect of gender on pupils’ knowledge
of mathematics concepts. The implication of the findings was discussed and appropriate recommendations were

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

ABSTRACT
From recent time Abacus program was used by
Chinese, Japanese, Malaysians and Koreans to
improve mathematical skills. The improvement in
mathematical skills is due to a coordinated
functioning of both right and left brain hemisphere.
As learning and memory in any field is achieved by
coordinating and analyzing the different sensory
inputs, whether an abacus learner would also improve
the short term memory. A group of 20 children of
average IQ between 7 and 12 years from an abacus
institute were evaluated for short term memory before
and after a period of one and two years. The results
showed that the abacus learners at the end of one and
two years had a better visual and auditory memory

2. AIM
The aim of our study is to growth of skills after using
abacus in each level such as confidence development,
ability & positivity approach in children between age
of 7 and 12 years who have been trained in abacus for
one year.
3. MATERIAL AND METHODS
Children between 7–12 years and between standard II-
VI were selected for the study from the following
center: - Genius brain Academy Bhusawal and ICD
Abacus Bhusawal.
Students from both the centers were collected a total
of 20 students a batch for study of one years during
March 2016 to April 2017. The children enrolled
belong to the upper middle class families with 45%
parent’s graduates. Before staring Tests for IQ were
done using Binet Kamet Scale and students with
average IQ were included in the study. The children
included in the study had undergone 1 to 3 level of
training. Each level consisted of 3 months, in which
the children had classes twice weekly during
weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Alternate days in
summer holidays were conducted. Each class
extended for a period of one hour. After every level
there was a break of one week during which the
children were asked to practice abacus at home before
they pass on to the next level. In I & II level, children
were taught addition and subtraction using Abacus. In
III level, multiplication. At all these levels, children
were trained to solve mathematical problems using
Abacus beads and then by visualize the bead
movements form Level II onwards. In each level the
competency was increase in rows and columns.
Level 1-INCLUSION CRITERIA:
1) Age 7–12 years.
2) A preliminary test for intelligence was conducted
and children with average IQ were selected. 3)
Students who underwent abacus training regularly for
a period of one years.
Level 2- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
1) Children with IQ above or below average.
2) Subjects with visual, hearing or other neurological
problems.
This study was done in between March 2016 and
April 2017.The children were divided into 4 groups.
Group I: (n=20) 7–12 years of age of non abacus
learners of average IQ acted as control (March 2016
and April 2017).
Group II: (n=20) Children between 7–12 years of age
of average IQ who had completed level I (March 2016
and April 2017).
Group III: (n=20) Children between 7–12 years of
age of average IQ who had completed level II (March
2016 and April 2017).
Group IV: (n=20) Children between 7–12 years of
age of average IQ who had completed level III (March
2016 and April 2017).
A. Tests for IQ:
Tests for IQ are done for Children between 7 and 12
years. These tests are age specific. We use the Binet
Kamet scale to assess the IQ of all the children
enrolled in our study. The student should start
answering from the tests designed for 5 years of age
and goes up to the maximum that he is able to
achieve. If he fails to answer all the questions in that
test, he is considered to have an IQ of that particular
age and he cannot pass to the next age. The formula
used to calculate IQ, IQ = MA/CA × 100 Where MA
stands for mental age and CA stands for chronological
age of the individual whose intelligence is being
tested.
B. Tests for memory:
At the end of each level a test was conducted to study
the development of various skills. At the end of level I
test was used to study the concentration level,
motivation skills with the help of abacus sums of

addition and subtraction. At the end of Level II
development of visualization skills are developed
which is predicted by using visualization sums along
with this level of concentration, memory and
motivation skills are developed using higher sums of
addition and subtraction. At the end of Level III skills
such retention and recall are also developed by higher
sums of addition, subtraction and multiplication and
fully visualization is developed by doing the same
sums.
C. Test for whole Brain development:-
In each class the learners were told to use both hands
for solving sums, regular use of both hand for writing
in speed writing used their both parts of brain. At the
end of level II they were targeted with the time limit
which enhanced their concentration, memory,
retention and recall skills at speedy level.

On analyzing the results in table 1 shows statistical
data collected before staring abacus programme and
after each level up to level III. In Level I analysis is
based on abacus sums and dictation sums, whereas
level II is continued with visualization sums (without
abacus) and in level III along with sums of addition,
subtraction, multiplication is carried on abacus along
with dictation on the same, not only this visualization
(without abacus) sums of addition, subtraction,
multiplication are also taken along with dictation. In
level III students concentrate on the verbal
communication sums and perform on it without
abacus simply visualizing it. It clearly predicts that
abacus learners are more superior to non abacus
learners. At the starting the learners showed the
mathematical solving capacity was increased in each
level along with the development of different skills.
Table1 measures the gradual max. Increase from 39 to
96 in L-I, from 39 to 98 in L-II and from 39 to 92 in
L-III. The lower range (min.) has also increased from
17 to 61, 17 to 45 and 17to 43 in L-I, L-II and L-III
respectively. Increase in lower range makes a major
output predicted as increase in the different skills.
In fig 1 shows the increase in performance when
compared from starting (before start of abacus
programme). The gradual increase is seen in fig 2, 3
after level II and level III respectively. As the
performance of abacus increases there is an increase
in different skills such mathematical skills are
developed, motivational, concentration, memory
retention and recall, visualization skills are developed
[9,10]. In fig 4 shows the individual development of
abacus learners. In all the abacus learners there is
growth seen. All the skills are development nearly
thrice at the end of level III, indicated by three
different colours each representing the levels. In fig 5
shows the comparative development taking place
simultaneously.
5. Conclusion:-
On the basis of above discussion we concluded that
there is enhancement in skill development of abacus
learners when compared with non abacus learners.
The skill development not only develops the
personality of young generations and clears the fear of
mathematics but also helps to create a strong
generations in the environment.
