Abstract: Summary This research evaluates the effectiveness of interactive videos in encouraging oral expression in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Five children participated in a three-month intervention using interactive videos. Using a video analysis grid, we were able to measure the children's participation, the complexity of their grammatical structures, the diversity of their vocabulary and the number of times they spoke before, during and after the intervention. The results show that interactive videos provide multisensory stimulation that captures the attention of children with autism, encouraging them to engage more in discussions and ask questions independently. The learning environment based on interactive videos is perceived by these autistic children as more engaging and motivating, reducing anxiety related to participation and promoting a climate of positive.....

Abstract: This research is based on the 2nd-century collection of legends mentioned in a work called Vrihat Kathā, which further inspired the well-known Sanskrit texts such as Śrī Harṣa's Nāgānanda, Somadeva's Kathāsaritsāgara, and Kṣemendra's Bṛhatkathāmañjarī. If Śrī Harsa's Nāgānanda describes the sacrifice of Jīmūtavāhana to save Śaṅkhacūḍa from the eagle king Garuda, Somdeva's Kathāsaritsāgara praises the moral example to highlight the Bodhisattva ideals. Another 11th Century text from Kashmir named Brhatkathāmañjarī by Kṣemendra deals with the story of Jīmūtavāhana......
