A comprehensive investigation on the influence of social media on the academic performance of senior secondary school pupils is presented in the research report. In order to investigate this connection, the research makes use of quantitative approaches to analyse the patterns of social media usage among students and the academic performance that is associated with such trends. This study investigates the duration and purpose of students’ participation with social media by means of questionnaires and the examination of academic records. It also establishes a correlation between these behaviours and the grades and learning outcomes of the students. In order to determine if social media functions as a catalyst or an impediment to academic performance, the purpose of this study is to provide insights into potential correlations, problems, and techniques for positively exploiting social media within educational environments.

The Mughal emperors had a profound impact on the legal system that existed in India during their time there. They introduced several novel alterations to the judicial system and had a significant influence on the judicial system in India. I. W. Ahed Husain makes the claim that the judicial system of Mughal India has full impact in the present-day Indian judicial system, despite the fact that there have been certain modifications. In the legal systems that were in place during the Mughal era, the concept of judicial independence was not formally established in the same way that it is in modern legal systems. The Mughal rulers wielded unlimited power and were regarded as the source of all justice during their time. They not only ruled the country, but they also served as the highest judicial authorities, and their decisions were seen as conclusive and legally binding. Personal preferences, religious convictions, and administrative factors all played a role in the decisions that they made as the people ultimately responsible for meting out justice.

Learners have alternative conceptions about scientific phenomena when they enter in the class room and these ideas affect how the corresponding scientific explanations are learned. Simulation is a powerful tool that could be of great benefit to learning and a very important element in the design of innovative learning environments, centered on the needs of the learners and integrating technologies at the right time and for the right activity. Computer simulation has a great potential for the enhancement of the teaching and learning of science concepts. Computer simulations facilitate the learning of abstract concepts and provide interactive, authentic and meaningful learning opportunities for learners. In addition to that, through simulations learners get instant feedback and also would have the chance to make observations (Bell & Smetana, 2008). The purpose of this paper was to investigate the contribution of a computer simulation in the field of science and how computer simulation brings improvement in conceptual understanding of science concepts.
