Abstract

Underground water contamination is a kind of water pollution or water destruction, in which various contaminants unify together to degrade quality and nature of water. Present scenario most probably support the water contamination by the humans and up to less extent by the natural disasters. The major ions which are responsible to maintain the quality of ground water are carbonate (CO₃ ^2-) and bicarbonate (HCO₃ ^-), Chloride (Cl), Sulphate (SO₄ ^--), Nitrate (NO₃ ^--), Phosphate (PO₄ ^3-), and Fluoride (F^-). The above ions are present in the form of anions. These anions are in general maintain by the cations as Ca⁺⁺,Cu⁺⁺, Mg⁺⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺. Among the above briefed ions Ca⁺⁺ and Mg++ are the ones which are responsible for the hardness of the water. These are found abundantly in the area, where manufacturing of chalk and limestone works take place. Water's hardness is determined by the concentration of multivalent cations in the water. This hard water if consumed by animals or humans lead to the terrific pathological conditions. Three water samples are collected from different locations of Pilkhuwa, District Hapur near to the location of the industry with limestone works, during summer. The ionic concentrations are expressed in mg/L.

Abstract

Like agriculture, textiles have been a fundamental part of human life since the dawn of civilization. In India, a growing shortage of natural fibre producers led the researchers to develop new environmental friendly textile and its products. Some eco-friendly fibre fashions are Bamboo, Banana, Aloe Vera, Coir, Corn, Jute, Pine Apple etc. Banana Fibre is more in production in our country and used for many purposes like as household items, dress, ropes etc. Banana is a fast growing and high yielding plant. India is the largest producer of banana next to mango. Banana is essentially hot climate plants. Now-a-day, it is also gaining importance as a source of fibres. Banana has important place in our mythology. They have more lignified and rougher surface fibers than cotton and kapok and soft fibers such as flax, ramie, jute and hemp. The principal constituents of banana fibre are cellulose intermingled with hemi-cellulose and lignin. Banana as natural fibre made from bast has been used in Southeast Asian countries but most of these fibres were too thick to be used in textiles. Being a rich source of natural fibres, the pseudostem can be profitably utilized for numerous applications and preparation of various products. Application of banana fibre for manufacturing textiles is a new concept in India. Banana fibre can be easily blended with cotton or other synthetic fibres to produce blended fabric and textiles. Currently, it is mainly used by cottage industry in Southern India. Banana fibre has the potential to partially replace the consumption of cotton and jute fibre in India. Banana fibre also finds use in high quality security/ currency paper, packing cloth for agriculture produce, ships towing ropes, wet drilling cables and others. Our banana fibre supplier is the first one in the world who is able to produce finer textile fibres.

Abstract

Individuals who belong to the natural world consider themselves as part natural word and feel to connect with environment. Wilson, who coined the term biophilia almost 20 years ago, provided a philosophical framework for the concept of being connected to nature. Biophilia is described as an individual's innate emotional connection to other living plants and animals. Individual well-being is also nourished by exposure to plants and flowers. Nature Connectedness hypothesis explained that linked between people and natural world has a tangible effect on their physical and mental well-being and behavior. Many researcher done their work on related constructs include ecological identity (Naess, 1973); explained ecological identity , while the concept if nature relatedness (Nisbet, 2009); and inclusion with nature (Schultz, 2002); described by (Nisbet, 2009); and (Schultz, 2002) respectively , all of which also take into account the extent to which someone experiences himself or herself as a part of natural community of life. People who have more connected and linked with nature consider themselves as a part of the wider natural world and society . In the current research, we explained difference between nature connectedness and psychological well-being between male and female by applied Connectedness to nature scale (Mayer & Frantz, 2004) and psychological well-being Scale by (Ryff, 1989) on adults (N=70). The result showed the significant difference between the male and female in connectedness to nature and psychological well-being that connection to nature lead the difference in psychology well-being among adults.

Abstract

Background: Academic Stress can have an impact on a student’s academic performance which can be both positive and negative effects depending on its severity and how students perceive it. Minimal level of academic stress can lead to positive outcomes such as motivation and improved task performance while severe stress can result in anxiety, depression, social dysfunction and even suicidal intention 1 . Academic stress is something to be managed rather than eliminated. To manage stress properly it is necessary to understand its antecedents as wellas consequences 2 . Aim: Assess the level of academic stress among B.Sc Nursing 1st year students. Materials and methods: A quantitative research approach, descriptive research design was adopted for this study. Samples of 50 B.Sc Nursing 1st year students were selected by using purposive sampling technique. Self-structured 5- point Likert scale was used to assess the level of academic stress. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics i.e. frequency and percentage, mean, standard deviation and chi-square. Major findings of the study: It is found that among 50 B.Sc. Nursing 1st year students, 56% (28) had moderate stress, 28% (14) students had severe stress, 14% (7) had mild stress and 2% (1) had extreme stress. Statistical analysis showed that mean of B.Sc. Nursing students level of academic stress was 3.180 and Standard deviation was 0.690. Association between the levels of academic stress and socio demographic variables showed that there was a significant association between levels of academic stress among B.Sc. Nursing 1st year students with parent’s education. Conclusion: Academic stress may adversely affect the performance and their health condition. So, it is very important to arrange some workshops at the beginning of each semester and schedule for extra-curricular activities like practicing yoga, meditation, physical exercise etc 3 . Thus, the students will be able to learn how they can overcome their stress while studying. Through effective counselling, counsellors and also psychologists can help the students to reduce the stress and motivate them for better academic performance.
