This paper will look into the significance of the January effect, by understanding its effect on the performance of Sensex, and the S&P 500, which provide a picture of the general performance of the market, giving a more macro point of view. It will also be analysing the performance of one large-cap, one mid-cap, and one small-cap company, which could lead to a better understanding of the relationship between the size effect and January effect, as initially hypothesised by Dr. Donald B. Keim. These would be analysed using historical data dated from 2013 to 2023. In addition, it would be trying to analyse the January effect’s relation to the halloween effect. The psychology of the anomaly would be explored as well, to gain an understanding of why it exists, through reading reports by psychologists and other experts. Furthermore, it would be analysing if investing on the basis of this anomaly is viable, and whether the effect is sustainable, due to market volatility being on the rise.

The composition of rainwater has been changing continuously over the past few years , this is primarily due to rapid industrialisation and rising levels and population overload As the pollution has been constantly increasing, the quantity of harmful gasses (air pollutants) produced have also been increasing, resulting in climate change. This is causing the rainwater to turn more acidic which is harmful not only for humans but also plants and microorganisms. Furthermore, buildings and monuments are also affected by acid rain. To get a deeper understanding of the quality of rainwater , I conducted an experiment - testing pH of rainwater from different geographical areas and observing plant growth under similar growing conditions but watering them with waters of varying pH. Therefore this paper intends to give a good interpretation of the quality of rainwater in different regions, and the causes and effects of acid rain.

Calendar Anomalies are directly related to the stock market, as, at different times throughout the year the returns of the stock market either increase by a lot or they crash. They are the reasons which affect the investors' behavior to change from time to time. They tend to occur at turning points in time such as during the different weathers, the start of a year, a month, or a week. The January effect, Day of the Week effect, Sell in May effect are some of the most famous calendar anomalies. This paper has been divided into multiple sections which will help us understand the “Sell in May” or the “Halloween Effect'' in a little more detail. In Section II, we will be discussing the calendar anomaly in itself; in Section III we discuss the consistency of this effect over the time; in Section IV we talk about how this phenomenon is a bug puzzle and how it is different from the others; in section V we talk about the possible causes or explanations to this effect; and at last in section VI we discuss about behavioral finance and the psychology behind this effect as well as the other calendar anomalies.

Spinal Cord injury is a devastating neurological trauma/disorder caused by damage to the nerves in the spinal cord, which may result in major motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction, along with damage to the functioning of the other organ systems. Due to the limitation of current treatments for SCI, many streams are being persuaded for a possible solution such as neural prosthetics, and brain-computer interface devices, and one of the foremost lines of research is cell-based therapies which comprises of stem cells. A number of clinical trials on stem cell-based treatments for SCI are being conducted across the world. This paper uses the method of systematic review to summarize and review data on the topic and provide accurate fact-based summaries of the information collected. It provides an overview of three trials conducted each at different stages of secondary injury(acute, sub-acute, and chronic), two of them use bone marrow-derived stem cells, and the other used mesenchymal stem cells. All three of them have been declared successful with two out of three having significant, distinct positive results.

Hydroponic farming has garnered considerable interest as an effective and environmentally-friendly approach to cultivate a range of crops, such as spinach (Spinacia oleracea). The concentration of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in hydroponic systems plays a vital role in delivering necessary nutrients to plants. This study seeks to examine the impacts of varying TDS levels on the development, productivity, and nutrient composition of hydroponic spinach. By comparing three TDS levels—low, moderate, and high—the aim is to identify the ideal TDS range for optimal growth and yield in spinach cultivation through hydroponics.

The question ‘To what extent is procrastination an emotion regulation strategy’ has left me wondering how procrastination and emotion regulation are even connected to each other! In this paper we will first discuss what procrastination is, then what we mean by emotion regulation strategy, how it is related to procrastination and, at last we will be talking about how we regulate our emotions with the help of procrastination every day without even knowing.
