Abstract

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is the most widespread micronutrient deficiency in crop plants and humans. Low intake of Zn through diet appears to be the major reason for the widespread prevalence of Zn deficiencies in human populations. Application of Zn fertilizer in soil having low Zn increased the grain yield in wheat up to 6.4–50.1%. However, soil Zn application increased the grain yield of rice only up to 7.2–14.8%. Soil having sufficient Zn had no or little effect on grain yield with soil Zn application. The application of foliar Zn with or without propiconazole resulted in significant increases in grain Zn irrespective of soil Zn status. Application of foliar Zn along with propiconazole at earing and milk stages proved beneficial in increasing grain Zn content in both rice and wheat. Hence agronomic biofortification is possible and could be considerably economical if used along with a fungicide depending upon appearance of a disease.

Keywords

Agronomic fortification, rice, wheat, zinc deficiency.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of self-esteem and Adjustment on the academic Performance of students of a rural area in Public schools setting. Adjustment has an important role in behaviour of adolescents in dealing with people, controlling aggressiveness and to deal with various situations. Academic performance in secondary school is very important for adolescents as students who have high or average grades may have to access to higher education; thus an advantage for society and adolescents. Children and adolescents spend a lot of time and energy on academic performance, thus it is necessary for them to have high self esteem and better adjustment. Aim: The aim of the present study was to identify the relation between self esteem, adjustment and the academic performance of students. The sample of this study consisted of 200 adolescents from 3 schools in rural area of Palwal District of Haryana. Thus Present study was carried out to check the self-esteem and adjustment in early adolescents. It s a cross sectional study, in which Two hundred (200) adolescents; out of which one hundred were male and one hundred were female; selected by purposive sampling. Assessment was done by using, Adjustment inventory for school students and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale. Academic performance was represented by self-reported result of previous passed out semester. The statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS Windows 16.0 software package. A significant positive inter-correlation was existed between self esteem, adjustment and academic performance. A significant difference was found on adjustment and academic performance of male and female adolescents. Female adolescent scored lower than male adolescent on adjustment scale indicating female adolescents have good adjustment than male adolescents. Female students scored higher than male adolescents on academic performance. There was no significant difference was found on self esteem of male and female adolescents. The findings show that high or average level of self esteem and good adjustment affects the academic performance in a positive way. There is a suggestion for the school teachers to facilitate effective interpersonal relationships among students to encourage self esteem and to increase the level of publicity of guidance and counselling services in schools.

Abstract

Burn is a major health problem that cause of mortality, morbidity and psychosocial problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of burns in this part of the world. In this prospective study 314 burn patients admitted in Pt. B. D. Sharma, PGIMS, Rohtak, Haryana, India from Oct 2012 to Sep 2013 were studied. Maximum number of burn patients were in the age group of 21-40 years (44.90%), with male preponderance (57.96%), 99.36% patients were belonging to Hindu community. Burn injuries were more from rural area (83.43%) than urban area (16.56%). 167 (53.18%) patients were with a family income less than 5000 rupees, 145 (46.17%) patients were literate. Most common mode of burn was flame in 53.50% patients, followed by scalds in 32.16% cases, electrical burn in 11.46% cases and chemical burn in 2.86% cases. No first aid was given in 67.5% of cases. Majority of burns occurred accidentally. In urban population, scald forms the most common type of burn in children (51.92%) and adult females (9.61%). In rural population flame burn is the leading type of burn in adult female (26.33%) and adult males (27.09%) while scald remains the most common burn in children (23.66%). TBSA burn was maximum in the age group of 20-40 years (43.48±18.99%) and minimum in 0-5 yrs age group (20.88±13.61%). Average hospital stay and mortality increases proportionately with the increase in TBSA burn. For implementation of an effective burn prevention program, study of its epidemiological features in a specified region contributes a lot.

Abstract

In this paper number of techniques have been reviewed that are used for malware detection. Any harmful computer program which performs the undesirable action without the consent of user is called malware. It may be virus, worm, spyware, backdoor, Trojan horse etc. Malware plays the main threat in the computer security and increasing day by day. With the evolutions malware becoming more strong i.e. changing its signature and behavior dynamically so it is difficult to detect them. Numerous techniques have been developed to detect malware. All have some advantages and disadvantages. Signature based detection; Anomaly based detection, Heuristic based and artificial immune system based. Most antivirus used the signature based detection and it used for the signature of known malware which can't detect unknown malware. To overcome this shortcoming behavioral based detection is used, which find the behavior of the program and identified that is it benign or malware. Data mining and machine learning methods are used by heuristic malware detection. Artificial immune system is just like biological immune system that provides the protection to system by differentiating between self and non self particles.

Abstract

Apot experiment was conducted at Choudhary Charan Singh HaryanaAgricultural University to study the effect of different sources of sulphur on micronutrient concentration and uptake by wheat. Various levels of sulphur significantly increased zinc content in grain over control. The increase in zinc content was more pronounced at highest level of sulphur as compared to lower levels. The increase was 5.0, 8.5 and 10.6 per cent over control at 20, 40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application, respectively. The maximum uptake (558.07 µg/pot) was observed at highest level and the magnitude of increase was 18.8,27.2 and 33.0 µg/pot at 20,40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application over control (419.28 µg/pot). The copper concentration in grain significantly increased with increasing level of sulphur over control (6.82%). The gradual increase of sulphur from 20 to 40 and 40 to 60 mg/kg also resulted in significant increase in uptake of copper. With regard to various sources of sulphur, the copper uptake in grain was found to be significantly at par. The concentration of manganese in grain also increased significantly with graded dose of sulphur application over control (83.53%). The uptake of manganese in grain was also influenced significantly with respect to various level of sulphur over control (632.50 µg/pot) recording maximum (817.45 µg/pot) at highest level i.e. 60 mg/kg sulphur application. In grain, the iron content also increased significantly with respect to different doses of sulphur and this increased was 4.2, 6.4 and 10.6 per cent at 20,40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application over control (97.39%). Uptake of iron by wheat grain was found to be positively and significantly increased with increasing level of sulphur. The increase was 17.9,25.0 and 33.0 per cent at 20,40 and 60 mg/kg sulphur application, respectively over control.

Abstract

Cultivated plants have evolved from their close wild relatives through thousands of years of evolution and selection. Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are taxa closely related to crop plants and form an important source for incorporation of useful traits like biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, which are critical for food and nutritional security and environmental sustainability1,2. Over 167 crops and about 320 high priority CWRs are believed to have originated in India3, which has been designated as the Hindustani Centre of Origin and Diversity by Vavilov4. India is the primary centre of origin of rice, sugarcane, green gram, black gram, jute, mango, citrus, banana, jackfruit, snake gourd, yams, taro, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, etc.

Abstract

The study provides a systematic review of studies related to the influence of equality in gender on women's psychology. An approach known as feminine psychology, often known as the psychology of women, focuses on the political, social, and economic problems that females deal with all of their lives. Sigmund Freud's idea of female sexuality, one of the most influential developmental theories dominated by men, wasthe source of its opposition. This means that a women's psychology is affected by various factors. The main motto of this article is to offer a systematic review of the relationship between gender equality and women's psychology. In recent years, a growing body of research has highlighted the importance of societal factors in shaping women's psychological experiences. Cultural norms, stereotypes, and gender roles play significant roles in influencing how women perceive themselves and navigate their social environments. Additionally, the study explores the impact of gender equality initiatives on women'swell-being andmental health outcomes.By examining the existing literature, thisreviewaimsto shed light on thepotential benefits of achieving gender equality in fostering positive psychological development among women.

Abstract

The study provides an organized review of studies related to the influence of the home environment, aggression, and personality on an adult's well-being. An adult's behavior is affected by many factors: home environment, family system, working parents or not, personality development, early stages of life of a child, parent's aggression towards adult, etc. The main motto of the study is to provide a systematic review of the relationship between home environment, personality, and aggression on an adult's well-being for further studies. Studies have shown that a supportive and nurturing home environment contributes to positive psychological outcomes in adulthood. On the other hand, exposure to aggression and negative family dynamics can have detrimental effects on an individual's well-being, leading to increased stress levels and decreased mental health. Moreover, the study also delves into the role of personality traits in shaping an adult's response to the home environment and how it interacts with the experience of aggression. By examining these interconnected factors, researchers hope to provide insights that can inform interventions and strategies aimed at promoting healthier and more fulfilling lives for adults in various contexts.
