Although job satisfaction among police officers is a crucial issue for managing police forces, there is not enough research on the subject, particularly in India. Job satisfaction in law enforcement is crucial because it encourages the continuity of a competent and cohesive police force that works well together, adheres to proper policies and procedures, and offers the services required by the public. The corrective and statutory balance in society is crucially maintained by police personnel. But due to the nature of the job, police service has historically been regarded as one of the most demanding and stressful professions. The present paper focussed on level of job satisfaction. An attempt was made to know the level of job satisfaction among the respondents using 20 statements adapted from Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Job satisfaction was measured on various aspects, financial benefits, working conditions, work policies and public image. A majority of the respondents had low level of job satisfaction on major issues but there were some components like promotion policy, ability to enhance skills Head Constables showed more dissatisfaction.

The application of forensic science, a branch of science, has altered criminal proceedings, particularly the preliminary hearings. There is little debate about the role that forensic science plays in supporting the legal executive in settling conflicts beyond the scope of courts. However, in recent years, forensic researchers as well as the legal community's partners have come under scrutiny from a variety of angles concerning their reliability and the capacity of the legal community to analyze it. Forensic science is a unique field of study and expertise that may be very helpful and valuable for criminal investigation.. Specialized skills are used by forensic science to identify, separate, and accuse guilty persons. Forensic science is seen as essential for successful criminal investigations by those in positions of power with improved training and preparation. The traditional thinking police are completely uninformed about the role that new innovation plays in supporting examiners. Standard viewpoints, a lack of execution, a lack of resources, a lack of prepared employees, hardware, and labs are the limits. If the police adopt a new professional culture, morality of extraordinary talent, logical procedures and gadgets, merit-based hiring and development, discourage political obstruction, improve preparation inputs, and set up the forensic research facilities, forensic science examination is feasible.

This study aims to investigate the role of nomophobia, or ‘the fear of being without a mobile phone’ in predicting the somatic complaints of young adults. The sample consisted of 219 young adult participants. The research design used was correlational, where the nomophobia and its dimensions were measured and correlated with the participants’ somatic complaints. The findings showed that nomophobia was a good predictor of somatic complaints in young people, with a greater degree of nomophobia related to poorer somatic health. Specifically, individuals who reported higher levels of nomophobia also reported more physical consequences such as headaches, back pain, fatigue, and a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances. However, further investigation is needed to identify the possible differences in nomophobia and its impact on somatic health across age groups and cultures. This study highlights the importance of addressing nomophobia in young adults, as it may have significant implications for their somatic health. Healthcare professionals and parents may consider incorporating interventions aimed at reducing nomophobia in young adults to improve their overall health and well-being. Keywords: Nomophobia, Somatic complaints, Young Adults.

In the last few years, knowledge about the world of science and technology has increased. This requires updating and restructuring science education. Scientific literacy is knowing basic concepts and understanding scientific processes. It involves the application of science to cultural, political, social and economic issues. PISA has focused on science as a core domain and defines scientific literacy as "the ability to engage with science-related questions and scientific ideas as a reflexive citizen. A scientifically literate person is prepared to engage in reasoned debate about science and technology. It requires the ability to scientifically explain phenomena, evaluate and plan research, and scientifically interpret data and evidence. India has participated in the PISA test only once before, in 2009. In this round of PISA, where students from Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu took the test, India was ranked 72 out of 73 countries, behind only Kyrgyzstan. Since then, India has stayed away from the Test until now. The Global Education Development Agenda, reflected in Goal 4 (SDG4) of the Sustainable Development Strategy 2030 adopted by India in 2015, aims to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities by 2030". PISA provides a comparable and robust measure of progress so that all countries, regardless of their starting point, can see where they are towards the internationally agreed goals of quality and equity in education. By participating in PISA, countries can develop their capacity to develop relevant information. Therefore, the researcher tried to study the scientific literacy of 9th-grade students using the criteria of the PISA framework. The study found that firstly, there was no significant difference between the mean scores of scientific literacy among girl and boy students. Secondly, the private school students performed better than government school students in all three dimensions of scientific literacy but the performance decreases with the level of difficulty increases in both types of schools.

“If you steal from one author, it's plagiarism; if you steal from many, it's research.” Wilson Mizner Plagiarism among research students is a serious issue that universities and academic institutions take very seriously. Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's ideas, words, or work without giving them proper credit, presenting it as one's own original work. This unethical practice undermines the integrity of the academic community and compromises the value of research and learning. Universities often provide resources and support to help students understand and avoid plagiarism. They may offer workshops, online tutorials, or writing centers where students can learn about citation rules, referencing techniques, and strategies for avoiding plagiarism. It is essential for research students to familiarize themselves with these resources and actively seek guidance from their advisors or mentors when in doubt about proper citation practices. This literature review explores the various types of plagiarism among students and find out the solution to avoid it. It examines various useful tools and techniques available online to make their research work free from the trap of plagiarism. The review identifies the main reasons and various types of plagiarism and find out some solution for research students to avoid the plagiarism. Study suggested various online anti-plagiarism software and tools to check the plagiarism and also suggest various citation or reference management software and tools like zotero, mandeley etc. to avoid plagiarism in their research work.

Quality in higher education is always burning topic for discussion in many ways concerns to Academicians, Educationists and Students from many years. Quality practices and quality thinking are essential for all. In India, it seems to be a case of one step forward and two steps back. While the government has introduced various bills in the Parliament, each of these seems to be stuck at various levels. Bills, such as National Commission for Higher Education and Research, National Accreditation Regulatory Authority for Higher Educational Institutions, and Foreign Educational Institutions, if passed can bring much needed structural changes. There is an urgent need to debate these bills and ensure that they are passed. Most importantly, a change in mind-set is required. Perhaps, time has come to remove the stigma associated with profits in the education sector so that legitimate private enterprises can have access to capital and set up world-class institutions that the country needs so badly. A lot of debate has taken place on 'affiliation', 'accountability', 'autonomy', and so on. Everyone seems to agree that a radical overhaul of the higher education system is much needed. Time has now come to walk the talk. Or else India's youth will be left behind in the global race. A sound higher education sector plays an important role in economic growth and development of a nation. All levels of education, from primary to higher education, are overseen by the Department of Higher Education and the Department of School Education and Literacy. The Indian government has also heavily subsidized the education, although there is an initiative to make the higher education partially self-financing. The Higher Education in India aims at providing education to specialize in a field and includes many technical schools, colleges, and universities. In the context of current demographic structure of India where most of the population is below the age of 25 years, the role of higher education is critical. In this paper author try to gather information about quality in higher education; higher education in India: status and prospective. ___________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Quality, Higher Education, Making India, Status and Prospective

It is a predominate language and most of the terms used to describe the situation is formed in the language which is English. The most amazing fact about this language is that even if people do not use and understand English in a daily situation still the terms and words used during the time of emergencies is widely used in these conditions. The appropriate use of these words make it one of the most used languages throughout the world. Learning a language and using it in a state of emergency are two different aspects. The individual has learnt the terms, words, phrases after listening to someone through advertisement, official website of government, health department, news channels, etc. This means a lot of influence is there on the mind of the individual after listening through various channels for a pandemic or an emergency situation. The language English a very common and popular language spoken throughout the world has always played a very essential role in framing the terminologies for various circumstances. Therefore, the role of the language becomes really very essential in communicating the meanings, situations, experiences to all the people concerned with it. This paper has tried to focus on certain terms which were repeatedly used in the time of Covid-19. A lot of words that were used were very normal words, but with the outbreak of this pandemic the same words have had a very important place in almost everyone’s life. In fact these words meant a lot to the people in understanding the situation in the times of emergencies like pandemic.

The use of fluoroscopic imaging is increasing in the modern orthopedic theatre. Benefits of intra-operative fluoroscopy include the indirect visualization of anatomy, enabling many orthopedic procedures to be performed with greater ease, in less time and with less traumatization of patient tissues, thus reducing patient morbidity. Need for fluoroscopy was indeed very high in the orthopedic theatre. Placement of internal and external fixation devices, as well as long bone fracture reductions, are amongst the orthopedic procedures frequently performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Fluoroscopic use in the theatre setting is how ever not without risk to the orthopedic surgeon, the biological effects of ionizing radiation being well-known. These effects include dose-dependent deterministic effects and dose-independent stochiastic effects. Deterministic effects are unlikely to occur below a specific dose threshold and include cataracts, alopecia, headache, dermal ulceration and infertility. Stochastic effects do not have a threshold dose and may include the induction of malignancy in radio sensitive organs such as the breasts, lungs, thyroid and red bone marrow.

Finally, recommendations are made for improving India's system of “tribal education”. Yet, it is clear that there has to be greater philanthropic investment beyond the classroom based on the examination of the causes contributing to non-enrolment and/or dropout and descriptions of case studies. This would offer a firm foundation that makes the most of these resources and strengthens each person's potential to overcome the obstacles that tribal members currently face. Keywords: tribal education; education policy; need-based education.

The tribal population in India, that constitutes 8.6% of India’s total population (per the 2011 census), is amongst one of the most disadvantaged due to a host of factors, such as poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, health problems, geographic isolation and lack of access to services. Tribal women, comprising 47% of India’s tribal population, are deeply connected to their communities and possess a profound understanding of their ecosystem. Time and again, they have established their ability to effect behavioural change on the ground and proven to be powerful community influencers. Studies have shown that tribal women, as culture keepers and archivists of ancient tribal practices and traditional knowledge, also possess valuable insights on larger issues such as the climate crisis, forests, and sustainability. The tribal communities all over India have been subjected to various forms of deprivation such as alienation from land and other resources. The fact remains that a large number of tribal women have missed education at different stages and in order to empower them there is a great need of providing opportunities so as to enable them to assume leadership qualities for economic self-reliance and even social transformation. Education is an important human activity. It enriches the tribal women in the self development and as well as the society as a whole. Especially the tribal women, though they are away from the main stream of national life, but they are not kept away from the impact of socio economic changes effecting the society in general. In this process of change, the tribal woman is forced to adhere to certain norms which may even take away her freedom, her control over the traditional productive system, her house, family and children and even her own life. This paper discusses the empowerment strategies among tribal women. Key words: Empowerment, Education, Tribal Women.

A day will come when the general public will not have to go to their polling stations to cast their votes. With the help of such a mobile phone, we can buy and sell goods and make money transactions. If we can cast our vote with the help of mobile phones then 100 percent people of India will be able to cast their own democratic rights. As an example it can be said that Estonia is a country in Europe where the general public can cast their vote through the internet. Alternatively, this voting system is in place in Switzerland and France through a pilot project. Some states in the United States and the Australian state of New South Wales allow members of the armed forces and the disabled to exercise their democratic rights through e-voting.
