Prevalence of sensory behaviours in normal Indian children with short sensory profile
The purpose of the study was to investigate the performance of normal Indian children on Short Sensory Profile (SSP) belong to various Age-groups (3 years, 4 years and 5-10 years), it will be useful to understand their behavior with the help of the parents/caregivers of the children. 50 normal Indian children were approached on different platforms and incorporated in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The sample does not represent the entire population of normal Indian children; therefore the study can be done with larger sample size. The therapist used a 5-point Likert scale to report the percentage of time their children engaged in each behavior. Based on SSP scores, 50 children showed 40% (20) typical performance, 28% (14) were found to be in the probable difference range, and 32% (16) are in the definite difference range. Forty (40%) children fall in typical performance. The most prevalent sensory processing dysfunctions involved the Tactile sensitivity (46%), Underresponsive/seek sensation (48%), and Movement sensitivity (58%), Auditory Filtering (70%), Low Energy/ weak (72%), Visual/Auditory sensitivity (62%) domains. 32% children fall into definite difference and 28% children fall in the range of probable difference. Tactile sensitivity (38%), Taste/Smell sensitivity (20%), Movement sensitivity (26%) and Underresponsive/seek sensation (30%) domains. The researcher has studied that the scores of all items, sections, and total are different than other studies but the result is the same. This variation in the scores it might be due to the different cultures in the world, it creates a need to assess the expectation, perceptions, and views of caregivers from different cultures.

Students’ perceptions about a distance learning programme: A case of the open, distance and E-learning programme at Kyambogo University, Uganda
The perception of students regarding a distance education programme has implications for the quality of training because it influences their motivation and commitment to learning, helps to inform course design practices and to develop faculty trainer development programs. This paper explores students’ perceptions about an Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) programme at Kyambogo University-Uganda. A total of one hundred and fifty students were purposively and randomly selected to participate in the study. Data was collected using a researcher constructed questionnaire basing on the assumptions of Holmberg’s theory of interaction and communication. Results established that most crucial items necessary for quality distance learning education were positively perceived. However, four key items were negatively perceived, namely; timely feedback on assignments and examinations, course assessments, methods of presentation and delivery of content and lack of enough peer support. The study concluded that ODeL administrators should put emphasis on the negatively perceived items to motivate learners and improve the quality of delivery. The study recommended that trainers ensure timely feedback for assignments and examinations, the training staff be facilitated to attend regular refresher pedagogical courses, administrators to nurture practices of peer support among the students and the trainers.

Prevalence of sensory behaviours in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder on short sensory profile
The purpose of the study was to find out the performance of children with ASD belongs to Ahmedabad city by using SSP. It will be useful to understand their behavior with the help of the caregivers of the children. 50 children with ASD were approached on different platforms and incorporated in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The sample does not represent the entire population of children with ASD; therefore the study can be done with a larger sample size. Seventy-Eight (78%) children with ASD diagnosed with a definite and probable difference. Eighty-six (86%) children with ASD obtained a combined score of definite difference and probable differences in Tactile Sensitivity and Underresponsive/Seeks Sensation and 64% in Auditory filtering. Typical performance of children with ASD was also seen during the research. Forty (40%) children with ASD showed typical performance in Taste/Smell Sensitivity, 38% in Movement Sensitivity, 42% in Low energy/Weak and 46% in Visual/Auditory sensitivity. From the result of this study, different sensory patterns in children with ASD have been revealed. It can be treated with the SIT and with the help of it the child’s performance can be improved. SIT can positively affect motor skills, socialization, attention, behavior control, reading skills, participation in-game activities, and the achievement of personal goals. This study recognizes the importance of assessing the performance of children from different cultural contexts, particularly in relation to their everyday functioning or occupation.

Predicting housing prices using advanced regression techniques
The prices of House increases every year, so there is a need for the system to predict house prices in the future. House price prediction can help the developer to determine the selling price of a house. It also can help the customer to arrange the right time to purchase a house. There are some factors that influence the price of a house which depends on physical conditions, concept, location, and others. House prices vary for each place and in different communities. There are various techniques for predicting house prices. One of the efficient ways is by the use of a regression technique. Regression is a reliable method of identifying which variables have an impact on a topic of interest. Random forests are very accurate and robust to over-fitting. The process of performing a regression allows to confidently determine which factors matter the most, which factors can be ignored and how the factors influence each other. The main objective is to use an advanced methodology for prediction.
