Perspectives of older people on environmental sustainability: A cross-cultural validation study between five countries

The global agenda to move societies towards a more sustainable course of development also affects the lives of older people in our ageing populations. Therefore, it is important to understand the drivers, intentions and behaviours concerning sustainability among older adults. The aim of this study is to translate and cross-culturally validate an existing instrument (SustainABLE-16 Questionnaire), developed in the Netherlands, which measures how older people view the theme of environmental sustainability in their daily lives, for use in Romania, Poland, North Macedonia and Israel. The SustainABLE-16 covers three domains: 1) Pro-environmental behaviours; 2) Financial position; and 3) Beliefs. The scale was translated in Romanian, Polish, Macedonian, Albanian and Hebrew. Its 16 items were appraised for relevance by older people and experts in the field. A total of 2299 older people, including the original Dutch respondents, were included for the assessment of the level of measurement invariance across six languages, spoken in five countries. As the initial validation of the SustainABLE-16 did not meet internationally-recognised fit requirements, the shorter SustainABLE-8 was validated instead. This instrument proved valid for use in all participating countries (configural validity). Subsequently, increasingly constrained structural equation models were applied to test their fit with the data, ensuring that the fit did not deteriorate. The test results of measurement invariance across the countries indicated that items were stable, achieving partial scalar invariance, with five items demonstrating full scalar invariance. The shorter SustainABLE-8 functions uniformly across all language groups and can, therefore, be used to evaluate sustainable practices among older people. A better understanding of the drivers and practices among older citizens across Europe could, in turn, feed into more fitting public policies on sustainability in the built environment.

The ARTiST-project still “alive” – Examples from Georgia and the Philippines

ARTiST (Action Research to innovate Science Teaching) was a project co-funded by the ERASMUS+ program of the European Union. Ten partners from seven countries worked together and implemented action research into their science teacher education programs. The main philosophy of the project was to innovate science education through classroom-based and teacher-driven action research. Training materials, teacher professional development courses for teachers and students were developed during the ARTiST-project. Some examples of the activities after three years of the projects’ end will be presented in this communication.

Treatment of complicated bacterial pneumonia in children

Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious diseases in pediatrics, and may be related to the direct occurrence of local complications such as empyema, necrotizing pneumonia, lung abscess or pleural effusion, which are directly related to worsening of the clinical aspect and prolongation of the hospitalization period. Methodology: A narrative review of the literature was carried out in the PUBMED database, using the following keywords: “Bacterial pneumonia in children”, “Complicated Pneumonia” and “Treatment”, with the time filter for the last 5 years (2019-2023). Results: From the research carried out, 408 articles were identified, of which, after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 were selected for analysis. Discussion: The main complications are related to specific complementary exams and assertive surgical or antimicrobial therapies that seek to avoid mortality, exacerbation of other complications and reduce hospitalization time and associated morbidities. Conclusion: Knowledge about the complications of community-acquired pneumonia, particularly its course of development and its propaedeutic approach, helps to alleviate the difficulties of the clinical context and provide more security to the doctor in his/her healthcare assistance to the patient.

Bichronous scientific writing course for medical faculty during Covid-19: a SWOT analysis experience

IntroductionWriting and publishing scholarly articles in international peer-reviewed journals can be a challenging undertaking for medical and healthcare professionals in universities, especially in non-English speaking countries. Surprisingly, very few faculty members report receiving guidance on scientific writing. To encourage more faculty engagement in professional development courses aimed at enhancing their writing abilities, we have revamped scientific writing courses to incorporate bichronous (a combination of asynchronous and synchronous) teaching methods.MethodsAfter forming a team, we performed a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) study of the medical faculty’s present programs and proposed alternatives to prior course issues. In this interventional study, fifty-nine eligible medical educators selected by purposeful sampling underwent a two-and-a-half-month bichronous scientific writing course from March to August 2021. The perspectives of the participants were evaluated through a SWOT analysis. The data were collected through online semi-structured interviews, and data collection continued until data saturation was achieved (40 participants). Data were then coded and analyzed based on conventional qualitative content analysis principles.ResultsOur planned blending sequence and e-feedback increased the medical faculty’s drive to learn, self-confidence, and autonomy while improving their writing skills. Poor ICT and network infrastructure hindered course adoption. Due to the course’s time and the faculty’s own online teaching, many battled with computer vision syndrome, self-discipline, and distractions. Our participants struggled with self-discipline and distractions, so setting a daily time limit may help them concentrate.DiscussionGiven the faculty’s demanding professional lives, this designed course provided a learning opportunity for many that would not have been feasible otherwise.

Gender and Development Integration in the Curriculum towards Inclusive Education

This study investigates how students' attitudes regarding gender roles, academic success in STEM disciplines, and involvement in gender-related activism are affected by the inclusion of gender in development courses. In order to provide a thorough understanding of the consequences of gender integration, the study uses a mixed-methods research design that draws on feminist theory, social learning theory, and critical pedagogy. While qualitative analysis focuses on students' participation in gender-related activity, quantitative analysis looks at changes in students' perceptions toward gender roles and academic success in STEM disciplines. The results demonstrate the beneficial effects of gender integration on students' perceptions of gender roles, with inclusive curricula challenging prevailing prejudices and enabling learners to adopt more equitable viewpoints. Students are shown to be motivated to participate in gender-related activities by gender integration. An inclusive curriculum encourages active engagement and helps to bring about social change through bringing attention to issues, advancing social justice, and giving students the tools they need to confront gender inequality. Overall, this study emphasizes how important it is to integrate gender perspectives into the classroom in order to establish welcoming and equal learning environments. The findings underscore the necessity to include gender-related concerns in educational policies and practices and add to the body of research on gender integration. Society may work toward gender equality and enable people to be change agents by adopting inclusive education.

Formation of reporting information on the obligations of organizations: modern problems and new approaches

The article presents the results of a study of methodological approaches to disclosing information about the obligations of organizations in financial statements. Both modern problems of these approaches in current regulatory documents and prospects for solving these problems in the course of further development of Russian accounting standards are considered. The article compares the regulations for the formation of reporting information on the obligations of organizations in PBU 4/99 “Accounting statements of an organization” and Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. 66n dated July 2, 2010 “On the forms of accounting statements of organizations”, as well as in the Draft FSBU 4/2023 “Accounting (financial) reporting”, designed to replace the current regulatory documents on the preparation of financial statements. An analysis of the terminological space in the field of disclosure of information about obligations was carried out, the composition of indicators of obligations regulated in existing regulatory documents and in draft new standards was analyzed. The requirements for the composition of obligations in the draft FSBU 4/2023 “Accounting (financial) reporting” and the regulations regarding financial obligations in the draft FSBU “Financial Instruments” are compared. Problematic aspects of the formation of reporting information on the obligations of organizations are identified, recommendations for solving problematic aspects in the process of further improving Russian accounting standards are substantiated.

Sibling Violence and Bullying Behaviors in Peers: The Mediational Role of Self-Esteem.

In the context of the existing research on families, sibling violence is a less explored area. However, it has seemingly received more attention recently, and it can assume a relevant role in understanding the maladaptive behavior of youngsters and bullying. Additionally, adolescents involved in bullying and self-esteem are associated with disruptive violence inside the family context. This study's sample consisted of 286 students, aged between 12 and 17 years, from both sexes. This study intends to explore the association between sibling violence and bullying behavior in peers and the mediator effect of self-esteem. The measures for data collection were a demographic questionnaire, the Social Exclusion and School Violence Questionnaire, The Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (Portuguese version for siblings), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The results show a negative effect between negotiation in the sibling relationship (victimization) and social exclusion and verbal aggression related to bullying behavior. Self-esteem represents a total and negative mediator in this connection. Our results also show a variety of indirect outcomes amongst the negotiation dimension, psychological aggression and injury between siblings, and the social exclusion and verbal aggression dimensions (on the aggression and victimization scales). The results will be discussed according to the attachment theory but considering the importance of affective bonds with siblings as a predisposing factor to an adaptive development course.

Telmisartan loading thermosensitive hydrogel repairs gut epithelial barrier for alleviating inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains a global health concern with a complex and incompletely understood pathogenesis. In the course of IBD development, damage to intestinal epithelial cells and a reduction in the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins compromise the integrity of the intestinal barrier, exacerbating inflammation. Notably, the renin-angiotensin system and angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R) play a crucial role in regulating the pathological progression including vascular permeability, and immune microenvironment. Thus, Telmisartan (Tel), an AT1R inhibitor, loading thermosensitive hydrogel was constructed to investigate the potential of alleviating inflammatory bowel disease through rectal administration. The constructed hydrogel exhibits an advantageous property of rapid transformation from a solution to a gel state at 37°C, facilitating prolonged drug retention within the gut while mitigating irritation associated with rectal administration. Results indicate that Tel also exhibits a beneficial effect in ameliorating colon shortening, colon wall thickening, cup cell lacking, crypt disappearance, and inflammatory cell infiltration into the mucosa in colitis mice. Moreover, it significantly upregulates the expression of TJ proteins in colonic tissues thereby repairing the intestinal barrier damage and alleviating the ulcerative colitis (UC) disease process. In conclusion, Tel-loaded hydrogel demonstrates substantial promise as a potential treatment modality for IBD.

A196 CSF2 AUTOANTIBODIES AS A SEROLOGICAL MARKER FOR CROHN'S DISEASE

Abstract Background Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that severely affects quality of life. Despite technological advances, CD diagnoses remain difficult and invasive, with delayed diagnoses correlated with worse prognosis and complications. CD is multifactorial, involving complex interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors, which leads to difficulty in identifying a cause and cure. However, research alludes to an underlying dysregulation of immune activity that leads to chronic intestinal inflammation. Mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) are essential immune cells that promote intestinal homeostasis through supporting immune tolerance, antimicrobial activity, and barrier integrity. A crucial cytokine that promotes the survival and function of intestinal MNP is Colony Stimulating Factor 2 (CSF2). Intriguingly, previous work in our lab demonstrated that CSF2 autoantibodies (CSF2-Ab) can be detected in the serum of every third CD patient and antedate the onset of CD by up to 6 years. In contrast, these titers are not seen in healthy donors or ulcerative colitis. Moreover, CSF2-Ab were predictive of disease location and severity, and are able to neutralize CSF2 by binding to glycosylations, impacting downstream signaling in MNP. These data suggest a role for CSF2-Ab in promoting intestinal immune dysregulation in CD. Aims Our work aims to characterize CSF2-Ab and their role in CD. Methods We developed a bead-based flow cytometric assay to screen CD patient serum for CSF2-Ab in several cohorts that contain samples at time points prior to, at, and after diagnosis. Results Our preliminary data demonstrate that our assay is rapid and specific for detecting CSF2-Ab of various isotypes in human serum and can be validated using ELISA. Furthermore, we show that this assay can be used to determine the epitope specificity of CSF2-Ab in CD patients in just one single sample. Conclusions We have developed a rapid and accessible assay to predict CD development years before diagnosis using minimal serum samples. Moreover, this screen will enable subclassification of patients based on their autoantibody reactivity to glycovariants of CSF2. Glycovariants that escape recognition by CD-specific CSF2-Ab could potentially be used as a therapeutic to ameliorate disease. Beyond treatment, understanding how CSF2-Ab epitope specificity and isotypes may change over the course of disease development will serve as a roadmap for elucidating the role of CSF2-Ab in CD.

Understanding Information Literacy Engagement Patterns of Generation Z

This study aims to verify the hypothesis that Information Literacy is a key course in the professional development of students. The authors review the obstacles, interests, and goals of students after their completion of the subject in Information Literacy. Quantitative survey-based research was conducted online at Transilvania University of Brasov. The literature was revised by scientometric methods in order to analyse the most relevant and highly cited articles published in Web of Science. Emotion Analysis method was used, since it is a fast method to scan students’ feelings. Students from Generation Z, the digital native nowadays, have remarkable digital skills and use information sources mainly from the digital environment. In this respect, Informational Literacy courses need to keep pace with the mentality and information behaviour of new generations. The hypothesis was thus supported; the students need this course because subjects like Copyright, Search Strategies, and Databases are of interest. Moreover, these informational research skills are important in professional development. This critical evaluation of Generation Z education may interest those studying trends in education and students’ needs.

The Rreality of Financial funding and Its Relationship to the Economics of Sports in the Participated Clubs in the Iraqi Premier League 2022-2021


 The present study aims at identifying the reality of financial funding and its relationship to the economics of sports, using the descriptive approach in the manner of correlations, on a sample of the administrative board of the participated sports clubs in the Iraqi Premier League in football for the season(2022-2021) The number is (20) clubs with (192) members, by preparing two scales and defining a group of domains and phrases affiliated with them by (4) domains and (33) phrases for the financial finance scale, and (4) domains and (35) phrases for the sport economics scale. The results were processed statistically, as the results revealed a weakness in the process of financial financing and the economics of sports for clubs, except for the process of sports professionalism, which showed its management relatively well. The researchers concluded that the adoption of government financial funding is the main return in managing its budgets. Furthermore, to the presence of businessmen's concerns to invest in sports clubs. Lack of specialized bodies in sports clubs working in the field of scientific research to develop the field of financing, investment and sports marketing to support the economics of sports. The researchers recommended in adopting methods and styles through which economic return can be strengthened in the sports field, focusing on investment to increase financial gain, attracting beneficiaries and businessmen, and opening up to non-governmental financing. He urged the club's management to hold development courses for an expanded understanding of the principles of investment and sports marketing in order to develop their administrative capabilities.
 

The transcription factors and pathways underpinning male reproductive development in Arabidopsis.

As Arabidopsis flowers mature, specialized cells within the anthers undergo meiosis, leading to the production of haploid microspores that differentiate into mature pollen grains, each containing two sperm cells for double fertilization. During pollination, the pollen grains are dispersed from the anthers to the stigma for subsequent fertilization. Transcriptomic studies have identified a large number of genes expressed over the course of male reproductive development and subsequent functional characterization of some have revealed their involvement in floral meristem establishment, floral organ growth, sporogenesis, meiosis, microsporogenesis, and pollen maturation. These genes encode a plethora of proteins, ranging from transcriptional regulators to enzymes. This review will focus on the regulatory networks that control male reproductive development, starting from flower development and ending with anther dehiscence, with a focus on transcription factors and some of their notable target genes.

Turbidity drives plasticity in the eyes and brains of an African cichlid.

Natural variation in environmental turbidity correlates with variation in the visual sensory system of many fishes, suggesting that turbidity may act as a strong selective agent on visual systems. Since many aquatic systems experience increased turbidity due to anthropogenic perturbations, it is important to understand the degree to which fish can respond to rapid shifts in their visual environment, and whether such responses can occur within the lifetime of an individual. We examined whether developmental exposure to turbidity (clear, <5 NTU; turbid, ∼9 NTU) influenced the size of morphological structures associated with vision in the African blue-lip cichlid Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor. Parental fish were collected from two sites (clear swamp, turbid river) in western Uganda. F1 broods from each population were split and reared under clear and turbid rearing treatments until maturity. We measured morphological traits associated with the visual sensory system (eye diameter, pupil diameter, axial length, brain mass, optic tectum volume) over the course of development. Age was significant in explaining variation in visual traits even when standardized for body size, suggesting an ontogenetic shift in the relative size of eyes and brains. When age groups were analyzed separately, young fish reared in turbid water grew larger eyes than fish reared in clear conditions. Population was important in the older age category, with swamp-origin fish having relatively larger eyes and optic lobes relative to river-origin fish. Plastic responses during development may be important for coping with a more variable visual environment associated with anthropogenically induced turbidity.

UClean scaling up dilemma: towards building a laundromat mosaic in India

Learning outcomes This case study outlines the strategic and organisational issues faced by an entrepreneurial firm operating in an emerging economy. This case study has been written to equip students with how entrepreneurs can overcome certain barriers and use technology to achieve product–market fit, taking the Indian laundry sector as an example. The following are the key learnings for the case: start-ups need to continuously assess the product–market fit to organise a highly unorganised sector; market entry and expansion modes require proper evaluation of available entry and expansion modes before pursual; franchising decisions require firm-specific and location-specific considerations; and careful consideration given to celebrity endorsement will result in increased sales. Case overview/synopsis The Indian laundry market was a highly unorganised market and presented an untapped opportunity. While the market opportunity was enormous, the existing solutions comprised local vendors that may not provide end-to-end services (washing, ironing, etc.). The case study described how a young entrepreneur, Arunabh Sinha, overcame certain challenges to achieve a product–market fit for metro cities and later expanded to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India as well. However, the challenges remained, as the firm expanded by using a franchise model, and other modes of business were required to be evaluated as well. Complexity academic level The case study is suitable for students pursuing MBA courses in marketing, service marketing and entrepreneurship development.

The Making of a Health Profession: How Chinese Medicine Became a Nationally Registered Allied Health Profession in Australia

Abstract In 2012, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners in Australia became nationally-registered allied health professionals in three categories: acupuncturist, Chinese herbal medicine practitioner, and Chinese herbal medicine dispenser. Australia was the first Western country to introduce national registration for Chinese medicine, followed by Portugal and, recently, New Zealand. The practice of TCM in Australia can be traced back to the beginning of Chinese immigration to Australia during the Victorian Gold Rush which began in the 1850s. The process which led to national registration commenced in the early 1970s with the establishment of the first acupuncture courses. Decades of gradual development of courses from unaccredited part-time diplomas to accredited bachelor degrees, and the development, by the profession, of national consensus on educational standards were essential elements in the process which led to registration. Professional associations, such as the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association Ltd. (AACMA), also developed a framework of professional self-regulation, including Codes of Ethics, Codes of Conduct, ongoing professional development requirements and Infection Control Guidelines, and provided leadership in the development of the profession. After decades of tribalism and division within the TCM profession, the National Academic Standards Committee brought almost all stakeholders together to reach a consensus on the Australian Guidelines for Traditional Chinese Medicine Education which were published by AACMA in 2001. Professional associations also collaborated on joint submissions to the government in support of registration, which was introduced first in the state of Victoria in 2000, and subsequently became national in 2012. Despite national registration, some barriers still remain, and professional associations continue to lobby the federal government for inclusion in Medicare, chronic disease management scheme, and Veterans Affairs.

Three-dimensional property: Current development trends on the Polish example

Abstract 126The majority of modern European legislations traditionally follows the concept of land ownership derived from Roman law. It is based on the assumption that the owner’s rights are unlimited in spatial terms. Within this understanding, the spatial scope of ownership extends to open space above and below a specific part of the land’s surface, delineated two-dimensionally. Several exceptions to the general underlying approach have been successively introduced in particular European legal systems in the course of historical development. These include, in the first place, building leases and apartment ownership as well as separate ownership of buildings. Furthermore, widely accepted limitations as to the vertical scope of ownership stem from specific regulations in the fields of mining law, geological law, water law and aviation law. Another manifestation of departure from the traditional concept of land ownership are legal solutions falling into the category of three-dimensional (3D) property, which is of increasing interest nowadays in view of growing needs for new forms of ownership and land use in densely built urban areas. At the core of the concept of 3D property in the strict sense lies the possibility to divide the space into distinct layers defined by horizontal and vertical planes, and to create so-called three-dimensional immovable properties which constitute independent objects of property rights. Such 3D units can serve multiple above- and underground investment purposes. Regulations regarding different models of 3D property rights have already been adopted in a number of countries in Europe and worldwide. Recently, conceptual work on layered ownership has been undertaken in Poland, which has opened a discussion in the legal scholarship on the future legislative changes to be implemented in order to introduce the notion of 3D property to domestic law. In parallel with these tendencies, the idea of 3D cadastre is being promoted. It offers 127the possibility to register real estate objects located at different levels. Worthy of note in this regard is also the impact of the current technological advancements on increasing the investment potential of urban space through 3D property formation. This article elaborates, first, on the general concept and selected types of 3D property rights existing in national jurisdictions. Against this background, the proposal for the new legal construct of layered ownership has been discussed with particular consideration of the possible ways of adapting it to the Polish property law framework. Some of the opportunities and challenges brought about by the 3D property rights development have been then outlined in the context of extensive implementation of emerging technologies in real estate transactions.

Exploring teacher leadership: A study of leadership practices among TESOL professionals in the Arab world

This exploratory study delves into the concept of teacher leadership within the Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) context in Qatar. It investigates the strategies employed by TESOL professionals to enhance their leadership practices and identifies factors influencing the realization of teacher leadership in this particular setting. Utilizing an interpretive approach, the study employs semi-structured interviews to collect qualitative data from TESOL professionals serving as teacher leaders in five different universities in Qatar. The findings reveal several strategies employed by teacher leaders to enhance their practices, including collaborative team efforts, maintenance of reflective diaries, participation in international conferences, attendance at professional development courses, and volunteering as editors and reviewers. These strategies support teacher leaders in their roles, facilitating on-the-job learning and keeping them abreast of new developments in English Language Teaching (ELT). The study also uncovers various factors that negatively impact teacher leaders’ practices. These include a lack of professional autonomy, the absence of teachers’ voices in the decision-making process, increased workload and accountability, and a lack of trust and support. Inadequate professional development opportunities and lower levels of intrinsic motivation hinder teacher leaders from developing leadership skills, acquiring knowledge, and shaping a strong leadership identity.

Supplementary outputs comprise an ISBN-endowed book, potential copyright or patent, and international journal publication. This research advances mathematics pedagogy within Unimed's PGSD program by integrating cooperative learning and technology-enhanced reading practices via Thunkable. Such an approach aligns with the progressive paradigm of educational development, fostering a conducive environment for comprehensive learning experiences and meaningful academic discourse.

Imparting Value Based Education Through Gurukul Methodology for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

In the conditions of a global crisis value education represents the most efficient way of forming a social and intellectual basis for the achievement of sustainable development goals and coevolution ideas. Due to mounting problems related to sustainable development the need of value education for sustainable development continues growing. The proposed research will explore contemporary state of education and suggest possible ways for imparting value-based education through Gurukul methodology for achieving sustainable development goals.&#x0D; Value education for sustainable development is regarded as a way of forming of new consciousness and behaviour through which human development course should be adjusted.&#x0D; The Gurukul education system is an immortal part of our country’s rich traditions and cultural heritage. It is indeed one of the most valued and famous education and life learning systems practiced in ancient India.&#x0D; A Gurukul is a residential education system in India which dates to 5000 BC. Under this system, all are considered as equals and no fee is charged. The Shishyas or students are taught life lessons and a cultured way of life in natural surroundings. Also, humanity, love, peace and discipline are essential components of the Gurukul education.&#x0D; Gurukul education which focuses on applied knowledge, practical learning and personality development. It also emphasizes on thoughtfulness, respect for planetary boundaries, social equality and justice. This Sustainable Gurukul Education system prepares the Shishyas in all aspects of life in future.&#x0D; Sustainable development requires the interplay of all three areas: knowledge, values, and education, influencing individual and then collective decision-making, behavior, and action.&#x0D; We want to create a more sustainable world, with stable economies and more just and inclusive societies. A difficult but not unattainable target if we can count on the involvement of governments, institutions, businesses, and, above all, a responsible and committed public.&#x0D; Integration among the three elements is essential for sustainable development. Scientific knowledge without values can produce materialism, exploitation and destruction. Religious values without reason can lead to superstition and fanaticism. Education must bring both knowledge and values together to be effective. Sustainable development goal is one among 17 goals set out by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030.India is ranking 121 in the world for sustainable development ranking. These goals are directed towards ending poverty, inequality, climate change and peace for all. So, every country in the world is responsible to achieve these agendas.&#x0D; Besides, the idea of Atmanirbhar Bharat or Azadi ka Amrit Kaal cannot be actualised without making youth capable of contributing sustainability towards industrial revolution. The proposed research will explore various methods of imparting value-based education through Gurukul Methodology for achieving sustainable development goals.&#x0D; This kind of research in much needed in the current scenario. This research will try to explore the various dimensions of sustainable development which are linked with value education, so that people will have a better understanding of value education &amp; its importance in sustainable development. The proposed research will be an in-depth study on how Gurukul Methodology can pave a way for sustainable development. It will develop a systematic review of literature on the value education through Gurukul Methodology &amp; its importance in sustainable development, which is yet lacking. Researcher will try to develop a model through which value education can be imparted using Gurukul Methodology which results in sustainable development.&#x0D;
