A Conceptual Enquiry on the Role of Academic Incubators in Nurturing Entrepreneurship among Students
Full text linkEducated youth of India are finding it difficult to secure jobs and have an economically viable livelihood. To help the economy grow and create new jobs, the government needs to encourage new ideas and put money into the education of the next generation of workers. Entrepreneurship development can be a big part of the fight against unemployment and the growth of the economy as it makes possible conversion of innovative ideas into new businesses or start-ups resulting in creation of jobs. The government and the higher education institutes (HEIs) should work together to create an environment that is conducive to the launch of new businesses and shift the mindset of educated young people towards the pursuit of self-employment rather than job hunting. Many state governments, in conjunction with the central government, have enacted legislation to provide assistance to newly founded firms in their respective areas. And higher education institutions have also established incubation centers to nurture and assist entrepreneurial fervor among students. In a start-up ecosystem, in addition to the government, there are a wide variety of other institutions and ecosystem facilitators that provide assistance to start-up units. Some examples of these ecosystem facilitators and institutions include incubators, accelerators, educational institutions, research institutions, investors, and mentors (NGOs). Higher education institutions and universities are playing a significant role in the promotion of new business ventures and the provision of platforms for enterprise creation. The study hypotheses, given the current entrepreneurial ecosystem in India, that entrepreneurship among students can be directly linked to the support offered to them by the academic incubators. The current study proposes a model for the establishment and operation of startup incubators within academic institutions, so that entrepreneurial fervour can be nurtured among students

No full textDigital commerce is growing at an unprecedented rate, which has changed consumers\u27 shopping behaviours, with gender influencing online buying tendencies and attitudes toward advertising. The research looks at gender differences in Ludhiana City\u27s digital consumer behaviour with regard to purchasing patterns, brand interactions, and responses to digital advertising. A survey was used to collect data from a wide range of respondents across a variety of demographic segments. The findings demonstrate significant differences in shopping motives, product concerns, and responses to digital advertising, specifically evidence that women engage more with influencer based content, while men prioritize price, brand image, and technical specifications when purchasing. Other factors that influenced digital shopping behaviour were educational and income status; for example, higher income groups had more trust in purchasing online than lower income groups.
Through the study of advertising preferences, it was found that men and women show different reactions to marketing content. Women tended to have more favorable reactions when the advertising was visually appealing and evoked emotion; men preferred more direct and text-based advertising that included data. Trust in digital platforms differed greatly among genders; women tended to have less trust for new e-commerce websites that they were unfamiliar with. This research also provides marketers with valuable insights to implement gender-sensitive digital marketing strategies that take into account local consumer behaviors. Likewise, it emphasizes that cultural, social, and psychological components have implications for how genders differ in their online purchasing behavior. Lastly, we underscore the importance for businesses to establish practices that will build trust with customers, along with implementing advertising campaigns that are tailored to each gender’s unique preferences based on the findings. Future research can expand this form of examination across other Indian cities to identify greater trends in overall digital consumer trust

Reexamining the Equation of State: A Crucial Advancement in Practical Thermodynamics
No full textThermodynamics has been wrestling with finding a single equation that ties together pressure, volume, and temperature for ages. The usual suspects, such as the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation, often struggle when conditions become extremely extreme. However, Xue and Guo arrived in 2025 with a different approach. They developed a macroscopic model, based entirely on the laws of thermodynamics, without needing to delve into molecular details. What\u27s neat is how their approach links up what gases do when they\u27re sparse with how dense matter acts when crammed together, all thanks to a smooth, continuous mathematical expression that needs no extra tweaking. We are diving into that equation. We\u27ll examine the theory behind it, its performance, and the extent to which it can be applied. It turns out that the model aligns well with real-world data for a wide range of gases, solids, and liquids. It’s simple, accurate, fast to compute, and holds solemn promise in engineering, maybe even planetary science, education, and, definitely, more complex systems down the road

A Systematic Review of Literature on the Strategies of Talented Employee’s Attraction, Retention and Management
Full text linkToday, organizations face numerous challenges in the discipline of talent management. Human resource management is influenced by a variety of factors, among which generational typologies within organizations are particularly significant. Since employees from different generations are born during distinct time periods, they possess unique personalities, perspectives, and values, which can create fundamental challenges to the organizations. Talent management’s main function is to ensure the talents and special skills of the employees have been identified and encouraged. Employees have to be deputed in the right place with the right responsibilities as per their individual talents’ suitability. Bringing the right people at the right time and developing their skills and capabilities to achieve the organizational goals is the strategy behind the concept of talent management. Most of the multi-national companies across the globe are giving top priority to the discipline of talent management. Bringing in and developing skilled workers is one of the most crucial parts of talent management. (Pruis, 2011). Talent management (TM) is a strategic procedure pointed to attract, identify, develop, motivate and retain the most qualified and talented employees of the organization. This method surpasses conventional HR functions by centering on recognizing, nurturing, and promoting outstanding talent within the business. (McDonnel et al., 2011). During the current scenario, hiring and retaining the talented personnel is becoming more challenging due to the worldwide job market opportunities. Employees of the organizations have to be considered as the most valuable resources and capital. Their contribution is really worthwhile to retain the market share among the competitors (Héder et al., 2018). An employee\u27s everlasting commitment towards their employer could be raised through the precautions implemented by the employer towards talent retention. While previously overlooked, retention has become a priority in the post-pandemic job market (Gallup’ 2022)
