This paper examines the role of Virtual Reality (VR) as a transformative tool in language pedagogy within the Namibian education system. Drawing on a qualitative, exploratory desktop review, the study analyses the alignment of VR with contemporary teaching principles, including communicative competence, task-based learning, and learner-centred instruction. It synthesises global and local literature to explore how VR fosters immersive, culturally relevant, and contextually rich learning experiences that enhance learner engagement, motivation, and language fluency.

Introduction: Premature and critically ill infants in the NICU require timely physiotherapy interventions for optimal developmental support.

This study investigates the current awareness and referral practices regarding physiotherapy early intervention in the NICU among pediatric healthcare professionals.

Inclusive education is a teaching model that brings together all students, regardless of their abilities, in the same learning environment. Its goal is to ensure every student is treated equally and given the same opportunities, while embracing their diversity and individuality without discrimination. Unfortunately, there are still instances where students are treated unfairly due to their unique traits. No student should ever be excluded or separated based on differences in learning ability, and no teacher should allow such thinking.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar is recognized as one of the most influential figures in history and commands a substantial following. Two prominent elements pay tribute to India's heritage. The Battle of Koregaon fought in January 1818, stands out as a pivotal moment in the struggle of Dalits who allied with Bajirao Peshwa II and the British in their fight against entrenched inequalities within Indian society. Of the 30,000 soldiers serving under Peshwa II, only 500 Mahar soldiers demonstrated remarkable courage and ultimately achieved victory over the Peshwa's forces.

This paper attempts to show the effect of the culture of the coopetitors on the two components of coopetition, between VSEs. Our methodology is quantitative exploratory based on data from a questionnaire administered to 652 drivers of eleven nationalities. Correspondence factor analysis and moderation and mediation tests were used to process the data. The exploration indicates that individualistic national and transnational cultures influence the structure of coopetition. The tests specify these influences.

This work deals with the potential of radar and optical imagery in mapping favorable sites for gold and uranium prospecting in the departments of Abtouyour and Guéra. The objective of this work is to identify potential sites for gold and uranium prospecting. Landsat 9 images, Aster images and Palsar images were used as input data. The lineaments of the study area were extracted from the Palsar images and subsequently validated by geophysical data.

This Chronic liver disease refers to a progressive condition affecting liver function due to factors like fatty liver, infections, or toxin exposure, often leading to inflammation and fibrosis. A 24-year-old male came to Dr Batra’s Panchkula clinic with grade 1 fatty liver and a 4-year history of elevated liver enzymes sought homeopathic treatment. Within just one month of homeopathic intervention, his liver function tests normalized, highlighting the potential of a holistic approach to manage CLD effectively while improving overall health and immunity.

Agriculture in Burkina Faso faces a number of difficulties, including climatic constraints and poor soil conditions. Added to this is the high cost of chemical fertilizers. However, effluents such as pig slurry are multiple sources of plant nutrients, and would enable more eco-responsible management of these dejecta. The study was conducted over two consecutive years at the FarakoBâ experimental station in Burkina Faso. The experimental set-up is a completely randomized fisher block.

This paper analyses why traditional market models, such as perfect competition,monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and duopoly, are not suitableforthe dynamics of digital business platforms. While these models were developed for traditional physical goods and services markets, digital platforms introduce unique characteristics like network effects, low marginal costs, multi-homing, and data-driven competition that alter the competitive landscape.
