Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 237-239 The digital technology as a powerful influence on how and what we learn has been established by an array of researches in this domain. The relevance and significance of social and emotional skills has been researched extensively for its role in promoting well-being. The core skills, which have been identified by social-emotional learning (SEL) programs focus on self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness and relationship skills. The umbrella term for SEL includes skills of team work, collaborative abilities, negotiation skills, critical thinking, ethical and social responsibility and effective communication to name a few. SEL is still an emerging field of enquiry and fostering and promoting it through technology has powerful implications for positive outcomes. World Economic Forum notes that both current and leading edge tools have the potential to bring social-emotional competencies to school. Digital technology is a powerful and all pervasive tool which can be used positively in classroom situations. Teachers, researchers, psychologists, mental health professionals and all the stake holders can come together to make use of the available digital programs in a positive structured manner. The discussion in this paper are based on social media platforms and other games based learning solutions for enhancing critical skills of decision making, critical thinking, empathy, and ethical behaviour by children and adolescents. Use of Facebook in a responsible manner, dealing with comments on social media and many other digital platforms can be used by educators, psychologists and researchers in an interactive manner to promote student engagement, peer collaboration. Certain wearables do indicate if the stress level has increased. These are accompanied by positive suggestion and techniques like breathing exercises, soothing music. The digital technology is here to stay. Bring technology to the children in a responsible structured manner so that it becomes a fertile ground for learning the positive skills.

Pages: 232-236 India has gone through a lot of changes during these past years, first there was demonetization and now there is Goods and Services Tax. It was introduced on 1st July 2017 and with the implementation of this new concept there has been a slowdown in our Indian economy and turbulence in financial volatility. So, there arises the need of understanding of this new concept. The research focuses on finding out the perception of shopkeepers through their knowledge and attitude about Goods and Services Tax. The study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana state. The findings highlighted that majority of the shopkeepers had medium to low knowledge and neutral to favorable attitude towards Goods and Services Tax implementation. Our economy was in need GST for a long-term and it demands more clarity through mass media. There was positive significant correlation between the knowledge and years of experience of the shopkeeper but there was no significant correlation between the attitude and other independent variable as attitude of the respondent was neutral. Thus, it can be concluded that with the universal tax rates, GST has increased the transparency and tax collection but it has also resulted in technological glitches while filling the GST returns.

Pages: 227-231 Academic achievement has become the prime concern of teachers, parents as well as of students in the 21st century. Academic achievement decides future success, social acceptance, emotional stability and self-esteem. Therefore, the prime concern of present day teaching-learning process is the eradication of low achievement. An important factor which creates performance gap between high and low achievers is the use constructivist learning strategies. High achievers were often found as more self-regulated learners and better users of cognitive constructivist strategies. Academic help-seeking is one such under focused constructivist strategy which plays an important part in students' learning but has been ignored by researchers for a long time. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to enlighten the readers about the role of academic help-seeking as a constructivist strategy in academic achievement and how high and low achievers differ in academic help-seeking. Based on the findings from different literatures, the present paper also established the fact that high achievers are better help-seekers than low achievers. Thus the current paper predicted that low achievers could be made better achievers by bringing changes in their help-seeking strategies. The role of teachers and parents in improving academic help-seeking behavior has also been discussed.

Pages: 224-226 Knowledge management is one of the interesting and challenging topics of management science in the new millennium. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of knowledge management on organizational agility of staff of Khuzestan province youth and sport office. The present study is applied-descriptive in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive-survey data collection. The statistical population of this study consisted of all employees of the province's youth and youth sports department (80 people). Due to the limited population, the sample size of the study was calculated as 80 individuals. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and regression test as well as structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data at inferential statistics level. This was done by SPSS software version 21 and LISREL version 8.8 software. The results show that using the regression, the value obtained for F is 12.023 and a significant level of 0.0001 means that the hypothesis will be rejected and indicates that the impact of knowledge management on Organizational agility is meaningful. Using the results of the structural equations of knowledge management variable with a factor of 0.53 has a great effect on the organizational agility variable. Thus, lack of attention to knowledge management leads to a decrease in speed, flexibility as well as competence and accountability of staff. Considering that the path coefficient was 0.53 and also the t-statistic was 0.3, it can be said that knowledge management at 99.99% confidence level has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility. Data processing using structural equation modeling shows that the mediating role of knowledge management on organizational effectiveness is confirmed. This finding means that the emphasis on knowledge management and its compliance by organizations can lead to the influence of each of the variables of organizational intelligence and organizational effectiveness in the successful implementation of another.

Pages: 220-223 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-regulated learning strategies with happiness and social adjustment among students. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in nature and method. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and correlational in nature and method. The statistical population consisted of all sixth grade elementary students in Kamyaran to determine the sample size, 180 individuals were selected using multistage cluster random sampling. Data collection tools included three Oxford happiness questionnaires, Sohrabi and Samani social adjustment questionnaires and Pintrich self-regulated learning strategies that validated and validated the tool. The collected data were analyzed in two levels (descriptive & inferential statistics). At the descriptive level, mean and standard deviation indices and inferential level, Pearson correlation and regression were used. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between self-regulated learning strategies with happiness and social adjustment, which means that with the increase of self-regulated learning strategies, happiness and social adjustment increase. There is also a direct relationship between the components of self-regulation strategies between the components of cognitive, meta-cognitive, and motivational beliefs with social happiness and adaptation.

Pages: 211-219 To examine the individual and contextual characteristics impacting the quality of child care environment of young children and its influence on language development, a sample of 112 infants and toddlers of 6 to 36 months and their caregivers were drawn from urban and rural areas of Dharwad district. Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale (ITERS) was used to rate home environment as well as Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) centers and Bayley-III (2006) was used to assess language development of young children. The observations of caregiver and child's interaction, quality of environment provided was observed in child's homes and day care centers. The findings revealed that almost half of infants who were reared in urban homes had average quality (53.33 %) of home environment while 30 per cent had high quality, but 16.66 per cent parents had low quality. The young children below three years who were sent to day care centers in urban locality were in centers with average quality (45.45 %) of environment and almost equal proportion (27.27 %) were in low and high quality centers. Most of the young children in rural homes had low quality home environment (46.66 %) while 43.33 per cent had average quality and only 10 per cent had high child care quality. The regression analyses revealed that quality of home (R2 = 0.45) and day care environment (R2 = 0.48) predicted child's language development of young children. Higher quality of home/center environment predicted better social skills and lower quality lead to lower social and emotional skills of young children. Gender, child's age at entry into center, caregiver's temperament, sensitivity and education had a mediating role on language development of infants. Thus there is a need to invest in high quality child care environment in both home and center. So, parents/caregivers need to be educated to enhance the quality of environment. Pages: 211-219B. E.

Pages: 208-210 Interpersonal skills involve the ability to communicate and build relationships with others. Often called 'people skills', they tend to incorporate both your innate personality traits and how you've learned to handle certain social situations. This research examine the interpersonal communication skills of managers employed in public and private organization and examine the demographic variables on the interpersonal communication skills of both public and private sector groups. The methodology entails a survey of 60 managers, i.e., 30 from public organizations and 30 from private organizations, were selected randomly for the present study in Udaipur city, India. An online questionnaire technique was used for data collection. Secondary data was also used to get a better insight into the research problem. Frequency, percentage, means weighted score were used for analysis of data. The major limitation of this study is that it was conducted in Udaipur city alone, while the work culture of organizations other than in Udaipur city may be different. Results showed that 50 per cent of the respondents had excellent and other half of the respondents (50%) had good interpersonal Communication skills in public organization although in private organization majority of respondents had excellent interpersonal Communication skills. MWS were higher in all interpersonal communication statements of private organization in comparison to public organizations. There is difference among manager's interpersonal communication skills of public and private organization. Thus it can be concluded that trainings are needed in public organization to improve their interpersonal communication skills so that the managers can be stress free at work and increase efficiency of work.

Pages: 187-192 This study aims at assessing effective utilization of power point presentation in a classroom setting at Bahir Dar University post graduate diploma in teaching (PGDT) program. For this study, instructors as well as students in the program were selected, interviewed and given open ended questionnaire to 25 students for gathering dependable data. The data obtained clearly showed that the use of power point presentation is totally at risk, i.e. instructors are not using the tool for making it to serve the very purpose it is supposed to be serving regarding to making the instructional process effective, rather it is thought to be, by most instructors, that it makes their tasks accomplished easily. Students have clearly put their concern that the power point technology is not put into effect properly and based on that the participants particularly, student participants gave their own experience based recommendation to the concerned bodies to challenge the power point presentation usage challenges what today's classrooms are facing. Finally, conclusions were made so as to make clear that power point presentation technology must appeal as many senses of students as possible, otherwise, mere utilization of the media for the sake of utilization would never make it effective and effectiveness mean the extent to which the media plays a role for learners to bring changes they are supposed to as a result of using this medium so as to facilitate for better understanding during students' learning. Lastly based on the findings of this study, summary, conclusions and recommendations were forwarded.

Pages: 179-186 Entrepreneurship is being presented as highly effective instrument for economic development of nations and hence lies at the core of any economy be that developing or developed. Considering present day scenario of high complexity, dynamism, entrepreneurship alone can just not help. It has to be used along with strategic management to get the most out of the opportunities available. This leads to the creation of a new field of study strategic entrepreneurship. It not only helps firms to create wealth, enhance shareholders value, provide it with a sustainable competitive advantage but also leads to the economic development of the nations. This paper aims to study strategic entrepreneurship in light of the various studies that have been conducted so far since the inception of this concept in the year 2001. The review suggests that most of the studies in this domain have been mostly conducted in developed nations and least in developing and under developed ones. Also most of the studies have not been able to take any complete stand on what constitutes it and what not. But most important ones considered include: entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurial mind set, entrepreneurial leadership and strategic management of resources.
