Biodiversity and Bioprospecting for Sustainable Resource Use

2025-01-08T14:02:37+00:00

We see many plants and animals that are available in our surroundings. Tiny microorganisms of diverse kind, and the culture organisms in laboratory are sound resource to manage many discomfort areas. In agriculture, fishery, forestry, horticulture, rooftop gardening beneficial microorganisms are used. We need technology for isolation and culture even to identify them for resource use. This is because of the high demand over the present knowledge to maintain the environmental balance. Some knowledge we received from the old aged people even from the ethnic people who believed to the nature and natural forces and offer the resource to nature for betterment of the society. The value-based identity and the use of resources from microbes to higher plants are necessary to main the ecosystem balance. But in contrast, some plants and animals are not easily recognized and not usable by us due to non-transparency of knowledge over time. Therefore, its urgent need to identify all usable microbes, animals and plants locally and regionally to understand the name, local name, use and pattern of use even conservation strategies. Experts’ recommendations, peoples’ participation and Govt. efforts may raise the voice for better management and resource use everywhere over time. Keeping these views in mind, in the book, authors and editors are trying to reflect ides on biodiversity and bioprospecting and use of plants, microbes and animals to manage the society’s development. Hope that people may get facility from the book to manage resource more diverse in way in future.

Human Rights - Women and Child Rights

2024-12-31T05:24:22+00:00

Every citizen of the world is entitled to human rights, regardless of their origin, sex, nationality, religion, language, or any other status. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed and ratified in 1948, following the horrors and massive death toll of World War II, which gave rise to human rights.

This book focusses on women and children, two of society's most vulnerable groups who have been denied human rights since immoral times. Vulnerable groups are those that are weak and poorly protected by nature or due to deeply ingrained customs, and whose rights have frequently been violated by the dominant segment of society.

This edited book aims to demonstrate that social justice-oriented psychology that incorporates feminist scholarship and empirical findings based on women's grassroots activism and resistance is essential to a better understanding of women's and children's rights and justice.

Untapped Horizons: Educational Tourism in North-East India

2024-11-25T06:06:53+00:00

The North-East region of India remains a unique and often underexplored part of the country, known for its rich cultural diversity, stunning natural landscapes, and growing potential in the tourism sector. Among the many facets of this region, educational tourism presents a significant opportunity for social, economic, and cultural development. This book, "Untapped Horizons: Educational Tourism in North-East India," seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of the region’s potential for educational tourism by exploring its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT).

Educational tourism, a growing niche in the global tourism industry, offers travelers the chance to learn from the environment they visit, not only through structured academic programs but also by immersing themselves in the cultural, social, and historical context of the region. North-East India, with its diverse ecosystems, myriad ethnic groups, and strategic location, offers unparalleled opportunities for educational tourism, yet much of this potential remains untapped due to various challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and socio-political instability.

This book presents a detailed SWOT analysis of the region's educational tourism potential, emphasizing the need for collaboration between policymakers, educators, and tourism stakeholders to address existing challenges and leverage the unique opportunities of North-East India. By promoting educational tourism, the region can encourage sustainable economic development, preserve its cultural heritage, and offer a deeper understanding of its diverse communities to the rest of the world.
We hope this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and professionals in both the education and tourism sectors, fostering further exploration and development of this promising field in North-East India.

A Comparative Study of Home Loan Financing by Selected Public & Private Banks: A Case Study of Ranchi District

2024-11-14T06:39:02+00:00

Housing is one of the primary human needs and is next in importance to food and clothing. Being one of the basic needs and an indicator of the quality of life that a citizen enjoys, housing also helps in creating conditions conducive to the achievement of crucial goals in matters pertaining to education, health, sanitation and the living standards of the people. Housing is a fundamental requirement both for the human Existence and settlements. Housing is also accepted as a key sector of the rational economy, which measures the standard of living and economic condition of a country. The importance of housing cannot be ignored. Boost to housing can rejuvenate the economy. Housing has maximum propensity to generate income and demand for materials, equipment’s and services, in fact, housing provides necessary impetus to the economy as a whole. Small initiatives in housing will propel multiplier effects in the economy through the generation of demand and improving the spending capacity of people through a chain of linkage effects. Housing sector has also significant effect on the steel industry, paint industry, increase in the business of builders, architects, civil, engineers, contractors, plumbers, interior decorators, etc. The economic impact of housing does not end when a home is constructed and the owner moves in. In fact, housing continues to be an economic force long after the construction accomplishes through activities like decorating, remodeling rooms, repairs, extensions etc.

Despite its immense importance, housing sector remained as the most neglected sector in our country. Not only in our country, but it is true for other developed/developing nations as in earlier phases Government failed to pay attention on housing for its people in every part of the world progress. Housing has emerged as a problem globally because of the various reasons like growth of population, new household formation, due to marriages, break up of joint families, rural-urban shift, increased prices of land, high cost of construction, lack of initiatives by the Government, low rate of savings, land laws of the country, lack of initiatives by private sector, dilapidation of existing housing stock etc.

A large amount is required to construct or purchase a house, which is very difficult to arrange for a middle-class person. If he thinks so, a major part of his life passes to collect a huge amount for this purpose. Till few years earlier it was a great achievement of his Life to construct a home for his family. He had to borrow money from friends, relatives and moneylenders in addition to spend his all the savings. But in the present time a number of banks and financial institutions are there which provide loans for this purpose. But it was observed that a large number of people, particularly residing in rural areas depend on their personal saving and acquaintances to arrange the required amount for this purpose. There may be three reasons behind this phenomenon. First, a large number of formalities are to be completed to get a housing loan. Second, many practical problems are to be faced by customer in acquiring housing loans. Third, financial institutions face a number of legal and practical problems hile providing housing loans due to which they keep themselves restricted in providing such loans to the persons having regular income. But during the last decade a number of financial institutions have come forward to provide housing loans and have been working enthusiastically in this direction.

Experiential Learning - Perspective with Reference to NEP 2020

2024-11-09T12:02:31+00:00

Realising one's full potential, fostering social justice, and advancing a country's development all depend on education. The experiential learning approach is given particular attention in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The experiential approach has a proven value and is more applicable in the competitive and complicated learning environment of today. This approach will encourage teachers and students to embrace diversity in the classroom. As a result, this method fosters a deep engagement with the curriculum and promotes practical experience, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, and learning by doing.

By placing students at the centre of the learning process, this approach goes beyond rote memorisation and passive learning. The significance of experiential learning according to the NEP and its revolutionary effects on education are examined in this article. Teachers can help students and academicians gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter, retain information for longer periods of time, and develop critical skills that will help them succeed in both their academic and professional lives by promoting experiential learning in high schools.

NEP 2020, however, recommended that "pedagogy must evolve to make education more experiential, holistic, integrated, inquiry-based, competency-based, discussion-based, flexible, and learner centred" to fulfil its goal of providing students with a practical and comprehensive education that will prepare them for the future. Chapters on the value of experiential learning in teaching and learning with reference to NEP 2020 are included in this book “Experiential Learning - Perspective with reference to NEP 2020”.

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: Art, Culture & Heritage

2024-11-06T05:33:28+00:00

Even in the modern world, the ancient Sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" from books like the Maha Upanishad and Hitopadesha has deep significance. This expression, which represents India's global perspective, is important in the country's diplomatic discourse. Indian leaders, ranging from Jawaharlal Nehru to Narendra Modi, have used this idea to express a variety of viewpoints and tackle a range of problems. Although it has been used in a variety of settings, its interpretation has frequently been subject to differing opinions.
The philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam instills the idea that all people are members of the same family. It is a philosophy that seeks to promote the idea that all people are members of the same family. It is a social philosophy that stems from a spiritual realisation that all people are composed of the same life force. A collection of prose and verse Sanskrit fables is called Hitopadesha. The primary goal of Hitopadesha, according to its author Narayana, is to teach young people the philosophy of life in an approachable manner so they can develop into responsible adults. It resembles the Panchatantra almost exactly.
However, "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"'s idealistic depiction has a tendency to put values ahead of interests, which makes it difficult to further India's causes internationally. This idea encourages us to think about other people's well-being, which fosters a sense of solidarity and shared accountability on a worldwide basis. It's especially pertinent when addressing urgent problems like climate change, sustainable development, and promoting harmony and tolerance among people of different backgrounds and ideologies.

The goal is to create a society in which living circumstances and resources suit human needs while preserving ecological integrity. Sustainable development seeks to strike a balance between economic, environmental, and social concerns. The Brundtland Report, published in 1987, helped to popularize the concept of sustainable development.
The phrase "sustainable development" is frequently used to allude to the concept of sustainability. Development can be described as defined growth, and so sustainable development implies refining the problem generated by, but not challenging, continuing economic growth.
Sustainable Development Goals
• To support environmentally friendly growth.
• Ensuring environmental quality for future generations while meeting current requirements.
Achieving Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is possible if we follow the following guidelines:
• Restricting human activities can help achieve this goal.
• Technological development should prioritize input effectiveness above input utilisation.

Managing at Workplace-Empowering Excellence

2024-10-04T06:41:30+00:00

In this book Managing at Workplace-Empowering Excellence various chapters are displayed about the Organisations face ongoing challenges in their pursuit of excellence due to the rapidly evolving business environment. The market is constantly changing, there is intense competition, and it is crucial to not just survive but also thrive. Achieving excellence is a continuous process that requires a combination of strategic vision, capable leadership, and empowered and driven teams. Employee empowerment can mean letting employees make decisions in their areas of expertise It also refers to workers who define their own objectives, choose their own schedules and methods of operation, and come up with solutions on their own.

Allowing workers to have some autonomy at work is not the only aspect of empowering excellence. All too frequently, organisational hierarchies unintentionally undermine senior leaders' attempts to give their staff more authority. Consequently, the assurance of empowerment appears hollow and turns into a joke rather than a reality. You don't go to work every day as a leader with the intention of producing mediocre work. Still, your behaviour or attention might be unintentionally lowering expectations.

Unfortunately, a lot of executives fall victim to this trap. Every executive and company owner desires quick fixes in order to boost output and bring about long-term transformation. Unfortunately, a lot of corporate cultures, leadership styles, and training and development initiatives only result in temporary improvements that vanish as teams revert to their previous routines. Your corporate culture holds the key to transforming your organisation from the status quo to an expectation and achievement of excellence. Establishing a corporate culture of excellence leads to the development of organisational capacity and a framework that engages, empowers, and concentrates workers. You cease squandering copious amounts of time and resources fostering an antiquated culture that emphasises problem-solving. Rather, you give your teams the mindset and tools they need to concentrate on achieving the intended outcomes.

वैश्विक महामारियां समय समय पर कदम आगे बढ़ती रहीं | वैश्विक महामारी का एक भयानक आक्रमण सन ५४१-४२ में बाइजेंटाइन साम्राज्य के साथ-साथ सैसेनियन साम्राज्य पर भी हुआ | यह "काली मौत" यानि बुबेनिक प्लेग की महामारी थी जिसने बाइजेंटाइन साम्राज्य की राजधानी में जनजीवन को तबाह कर डाला | वहाँ एक-एक दिन में ५००० लोग मृत्यु क अगरास बने | यह भूमध्यसागर के तट पर खड़े व्यापारिक जल पोतों में छिपे चूहों पर पल रहे पिश्यों से फैली थी |

इसके बाद एक बार फिर सन १३४६ से १३५३ तक बुबेनिक प्लेग का भयंकर प्रकोप हुआ | इस महामारी ने यूरोप, अफ्रीका और एशिया में मौत का भरी तांडव दिखाया | अनुमान है की इसके कारण विश्व में ७.५ से लेकर २० करोड़ तक लोगों के प्राण गए | यह वैश्विक महामारी एशिया में शुरू हुई और व्यापारिक जहाजों में छिपे चूहों के पिस्सुओं ने इसे तीनों महाद्वीपों में फैला दिया |

सन १९१०-११ में एक बार फिर हैजे की वैश्विक महामारी का आक्रमण हुआ | इसे हैजे की वैश्विक महामारी का छठा दौर मन जाता है | यह भारत से शुरू हुआ और मध्य अफ्रीका, पूर्वी यूरोप से रूस तक पहुँच गया | आज से ठीक सौ वर्ष पहले सन १९१८ से १९२० तक फैली फ्लू की वैश्विक महामारी ने दो करोड़ से पॉच करोड़ तक लोगों की जान ली थी | कहते है इससे विश्व की करीब एक-तिहाई आबादी पीड़ित हुई थी | फ्लू की इस महामारी की खासियत यह थी की इससे स्वस्थ और युवा लोग बुरी तरह से पीड़ित हुए, जबकि इससे पहले तक फ्लू किशोरों, उम्रदराज लोगों या कमजोर लोगों तथा बीमार लोगों को अपना शिकार बनता था | स्पनिश फ्लू से महात्मा गांधी भी पीड़ित हुए थे |

इसी वैश्विक महामारी में हिंदी के महान कवि सूर्यकांत त्रिपाठी निराला ने अपनी पत्नी को खो दिया था | निराला ने कहीं लिखा है कि तब गंगा में शव ही शव बहते हुए दिखाई देते थे क्योकि दाह-संस्कार के लिए ईंधन की कमी हो गई थी|

इन्फएन्जा की इस वैश्विक महामारी के ५१ वर्ष और सन १९१८-२० के भयानक 'स्पेनिश फ्लू' के बाद वर्ष २०१९ के अंतिम माह में भयानक जानलेवा कोविड-१९ फ्लू की वैश्विक महामारी का प्रकोप हो गया| यज महामारी कोरोना वायरक से फैली और चीन के वुहान शहर से शुरू हुई| इस वैश्विक महामारी के कारण विश्वभर में कई लाख लोग संक्रमित होकर कल के गाल में समै गए, जबकि लाखों लोगों की संख्या ने इस महामारी पर विजय हासिल की है| यह बीमारी कोविड-१९ शुरू हुई|

वर्तमान परिपेक्ष्य -

भारत में २२ मार्च २०२० को सुबह ७ से रत ९ बजे तक भारत के वर्तमान पधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने जनता कर्फ्यू के कारण जन जीवन में होने वाली बदलाव का अनुमान लगाना था या फिर कहे की यह एक प्रकार की आने वाली कुछ दिनों में होने वाली लॉकडाउन के लिए लोगों को आगाह करना था| इसके पश्चात मोदी जी ने आने वाली दिनों में होने वाले लॉकडाउन के लिए आवश्यक सेवाओं से जुड़े लोगों या संस्थाओं जैसे पुलिस, चिकित्सा सेवाएं मिडिया, होम डिलिवरों पेशेवरों और अग्नि सामकों के छोड़कर प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को कर्फ्यू का पालन करना अनिवार्य था| इसी दिन शाम के पांच बजे नागरिकों को अपने दरवाजे बालकनियों या खिड़कियों पर खड़े होकर आवश्यक सेवाओं से जुड़े पेशेवरों के प्रोत्साहन के लिए ताली या घंटी बजाने को खा गया था| राष्ट्रिय कैडेड कोर और राष्ट्रिय सेवा योजना से संबंधित लोगों को देश में कर्फ्यू लागु करना था|

सम्पूर्ण लॉकडाउन कई चरणों में हुआ प्रथम चरण २५ मार्च २०२० से १४ अप्रैल २०२० (कुल २१ दिन) के लिए किया गया था | इस दौरान लोगों को अपने घरों से बाहर निकलना निषेध किया गया | सभी परिवहन सेवाए सड़क वायु और रेल निलंबित किया गया | हालांकि आग पुलिस जरूरी सामान और आपातकालीन सेवाओं का उपयोग किया जा सकेगा

खाद्य दुकान बैक और ए. टी. एम्. पेट्रोल पंप अन्य आवश्यक वस्तुएं और विनिर्माण जैसी सेवाओं के छूट दी गई है | शैक्षक संस्थानों, ओद्योगिक प्रतिष्ठानों और आतिथ्य सेवाओं को निलंबित क्र दिया गया| गृह मंत्रालय ने कहा कि जो व्यक्ति लॉकडाउन का पालन नहीं करेंगे उन्हें एक साल तक जेल भी की जा सकती है| इस दौरान संपूर्ण शैक्षिक संस्थाओं को बंद रखा गया और पूरा जन जीवन अस्त व्यस्त हो गया| शासकीय एवं अशासकीय संस्थानों में कार्यरत शिक्षक कर्मचारी बच्चे, मजदूर सभी इस लॉकडाउन से प्रभावित हुए|

इसी क्रम में द्वितीय चरण का लॉकडाउन १५ अप्रैल २०२० से ३ मई २०२० (कुल १९ दिन) का जुआ| इस लॉकडाउन के दौरान लोगों की आजीविका पर प्रश्नचिन्ह लग गया| कई मजदूर एवं कुशलकर्मी जो कि अपने निवास स्थान से दूर अन्य राज्यों देशों में बसे थे वे दाने-दाने के लिए मोहताज हो गए| चूँकि परिवहन का कोई वैकल्पिक साधन नहीं था इसलिए जनजीवन अपने घरो के लिए पैदल ही निकल पड़े| इस बीच कई बेगुनाह भूख प्यास थकान चिन्ता के कारण मरे गए तथा जो बच गए उनके लिए आने वाली चुनौतियां दूभर हो गईं|

इसी कर्म में तृतीय चरण का लॉकडाउन ४ मई २०२० से १७ मई २०२० (१४ दिन) चतुर्थ चरण १८ मई २०२० से ३१ मई २०२०
(१४ दिन) एवं पंचम चरण १ जून २०२० से ३० जून (३० दिन) का हुआ |

इस विश्वव्यापी महामारी कोरोना के कारण सम्पूर्ण मानव जीवन पूर्ण रूप से प्रभावित हुआ| देश-विदेशों में पढ़ने एवं काम करने गए लोग वहीं फंस गए क्योंकि लॉकडाउन के समय सरकार ने अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय परिवहन सेवाओं को पूर्ण रूप से बन्द कर दिया|

Object Oriented Programming using C++

2024-09-09T05:03:40+00:00

The primary goal of the C++ programming language's introduction was to give the C language object-oriented capabilities. OOPs are advantageous to both designers and users in a number of ways. They are also crucial in a number of fields, such as user interface design, modelling, simulation, and so forth.
Object-Oriented Programming using CPP aims to implement real-world entities like inheritance, hiding, polymorphism, etc. in programming. The main aim of OOP is to bind together the data and the functions that operate on them so that no other part of the code can access this data except that function. It is described as per Pune and Solapur University for Engineering, Diploma, BCA/MCA and Computer Science background students.
Course Objectives:
• To explore the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
• To understand object-oriented concepts such as data abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, dynamic binding, and polymorphism.

Relevance of Human Values in Sustainable Development AALEKH 2024

2024-09-04T05:13:12+00:00

It is a matter of pleasure to bring forward the second volume of Aalekh. The journey of Aalekh – the article writing competition began in the year 2023 with an aim to provide a platform for the budding researchers of the university, to come up with their innovative writings. The outcome of the active participation by the students, research scholars and the faculty members was the articles in the form of an edited book.
To continue with this journey ahead, the Aalekh 2.0 has been organised in this year with the theme ‘Relevance of Human Values in Sustainable Development’.
Values are the integral part of life that contributes for one’s holistic development, improves decision making skills, and maintains healthy and long-term relationships. Using the available resources optimally, reducing, reusing or recycling the wastes, vision for sustainable profit are some of the practices that are well connected with the Values and Ethics both. A business practice is the outcome of individuals’ practices – individuals those are involved in running the business. Employees holding the human values like honesty, trust, respect, empathy, kindness, etc. are expected to run business ethically that further contributes to the sustainable development. But, many a times, it has been observed that to satisfy the hunger of earning personal profits, the individuals get diverted from the path of values and ethics which ultimately results unrest in the society.
The present volume of Aalekh includes fourteen articles that explore the multiple facets of Human Values and Ethics necessary for the sustainability. The recommendations made by the authors would contribute in making the society free from unethical practices. Precisely, it would bring positive momentum to uphold the human values in one’s life.
Happy Learning!

वर्तमान समाज एवं दिव्यांग बालक की समस्याएं

2024-08-16T07:58:15+00:00

हमारे समाज में एक ऐसा वर्ग भी है जिन्हें हम विकलांग बालक या दिव्यांग बालक कहते हैं। हमारे प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने दिव्यांग शब्द का उपयोग विकलांग व्यक्तियों के लिए दिसंबर 2015 को ‘मन की आवाज’ रेडियो प्रोग्राम में किया था। उनका यह मानना था, कि दिव्यांग उनको कहा जाता है जिनके पास ईश्वर द्वारा दी गई एक विशिष्ट क्षमता है, जिसका उपयोग करते हुए वह व्यक्ति अपने जीवन को सुचारू और सरल बनाते हैं। संयुक्त राष्ट्र के द्वारा दिव्यांगता के प्रति संवेदनाओ को बढ़ाने के लिए 3 दिसंबर को ‘विश्व दिव्यांग दिवस’ के रूप में घोषित किया गया है। इस दिवस का मुख्य उद्देश्य लोगों को दिव्यांगता के मुद्दे के प्रति जागरूक करना और समझ बढ़ाना है। प्रत्येक विशिष्ट बालक चाहे वह शारीरिक रूप से दिव्यांग हो, मंदबुदि बालक हो, मानसिक रूप से दिव्यांग हो, अधिगम निर्याेग्य बालक हो, सामाजिक रूप से कुसमायोजित बालक हो या पिछड़े बालक हो आदि, ऐसा कोई भी बालक जिसे अपने वातावरण में समायोजन करने में दिक्कत आती है, वह दिव्यांग बालक की श्रेणी में आता है। अर्थात ऐसा व्यक्ति जिसके शारीरिक अंग में कोई खराबी हो एवं वह सामान्य व्यक्ति की तरह अपना सामान्य काम करने में अक्षम हो दिव्यांग कहलाता है।

“जिंदगी में जीत पाने की कोशिश इनकी, दिव्यांग होना नहीं कमी करेगा हिम्मत इनकी, मन के इरादे मजबूत इतने इनके, जो चाहते हैं वो मेहनत से ये जरूर पाते हैं”

गंभीर दिव्यांगता की श्रेणी में 1.3 बिलियन लोग अनुमानित आते हैं जो हमारी दुनिया की आबादी का 16% या प्रत्येक 6 व्यक्ति में से 1 व्यक्ति है। दिव्यांगता से मानव जीवन कई रूप से प्रभावित हो सकता है। किसी बच्चे में दिव्यांगता कुछ अधिक पाई जाती है, और किसी बच्चो में कुछ कम मात्रा में दिव्यांगता पाई जाती है। दिव्यांगता का प्रभाव बालक और उसके पूरे परिवार की मनोदशा पर पड़ता है। सामान्य व्यक्ति की अपेक्षा दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों में अवसाद, अस्थमा, मधुमेह, मोटापा, स्ट्रोक तथा खराब मौखिक स्वास्थ्य जैसी बीमारी का विकसित होना दोगुना होता है। जिसके कारण प्रत्येक दिव्यांग व्यक्ति अपने जीवन में तनाव, कुंठा और संघर्षों का अधिक सामना करते हैं जिससे उनमें व्यवहारगत विकृतियां विकसित होने की अधिक संभावना होती है, तथा कार्य करने की क्षमताओं की स्थितियां दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों की सामाजिक, संवेगात्मक समस्याओं को ज्यादा बढ़ाती है, जिसके कारण उन में चिंता एवं खिन्नता के भाव उभरने लगते हैं। जो उन्हें अपने वातावरण में समायोजित होने नहीं देती है।

यदि किसी कारणवश किसी बच्चे में शारीरिक अपंगता एक से ज्यादा प्रकार की होती है, तो उस बालक का प्रभावी रूप से सामाजिक कार्य करने की क्षमता अधिक घटती जाती है। सामान्य व्यक्ति की तुलना में कुछ दिव्यांग व्यक्ति पहले मर जाते हैं। दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के लिए दुर्गम एवं महंगी परिवहन सुविधा सामान्य व्यक्तियों की तुलना में 15 गुना अधिक महंगी और कठिन होती है जिन्हें वे आसानी से प्राप्त नहीं कर पाते हैं। दिव्यांग व्यक्ति एक विविध समूह है, और लिंग, आयु, यौन अभिविन्यास, लिंग पहचान, जाति, धर्म, जातीयता और उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति जैसे कारक जीवन में उनके अनुभवो और उनके स्वास्थ्य आवश्यकताओं को प्रभावित करते हैं। जिससे उनका स्वास्थ्य खराब हो जाता है, और दूसरों की तुलना में रोजमर्रा के कामकाज में अधिक कठिनाइयों का अनुभव करते हैं। दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों को अपने समुदाय में कई सामाजिक समस्याओं का सामना करना पड़ता है। विविध प्रकार की दिव्यांगता के विभिन्न श्रेणी वाले व्यक्तियो के जीवन की उत्कृष्टता में निवारण करना एक जटिल और चुनौतीपूर्ण काम है। भारत सरकार ने विभिन्न श्रेणी की दिव्यांगता में से कुछ दिव्यांगता को अधिकारी रूप से सूचीबद्ध किया, ताकि जरूरतमंद व्यक्तियों की सरकारी सहायता की जा सके। सामाजिक न्याय एवं नि:शक्तजन कल्याण विभाग द्वारा 21 प्रकार के विकलांगताओं की सूची जागरूकता के लिए दिव्यांग अधिकार अधिनियम 2016 के तहत मान्यता प्रदान की गई है।

इन दिव्यांग बालकों को समाज में आर्थिक रूप से, सामाजिक रूप से, राजनीतिक रूप से, धार्मिक रूप से, व्यवसायिक रूप से, पारिवारिक रूप, वैवाहिक रूप तथा शैक्षिक रूप से आदि बहुत सी समस्याओं का सामना अपने व्यक्तिगत जीवन मे करना पड़ता है। आज सरकार ने दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के लिए समावेशी शिक्षा का प्रावधान लाया है जिससे अधिक से अधिक दिव्यांग बच्चे लाभान्वित हो सके, इसके लिए परिवार के साथ-साथ एक शिक्षक का भी कर्तव्य है कि विकलांग बच्चों को अपने पाठशाला, विद्यालय और कक्षा में समायोजित होने तथा सामंजस बनाने के लिए उन्हें प्रेरित करें और उन्हे अपना पूर्ण सहयोग देते हुए सामान्य बच्चों की तरह आगे बढ़ाने में सहायता प्रदान करें। जीवन में आने वाली हर समस्याओं के समाधान के लिए उनके मनोबल को बढ़ावा देना चाहिए। साथ ही उन्हे हमेशा धैर्य, धीरज और संयम के साथ अपने समस्या पर विचार करके उसके समाधान हेतु उपाय ढूंढने में सहायता प्रदान करनी चाहिए। आज समाज के प्रत्येक मनुष्य का यह कर्तव्य है, कि उनकी जरूरतो और भावनाओं को समझें और उनके जीवन में आने वाली सारी समस्याओं का सामना आत्मबल एवं भरोसे के साथ करने हेतु बढ़ावा देना, सही रास्ता दिखलाते हुए अपने जीवन मे हमेशा सही मार्ग पर चलने, उन्नति करने और बेहतर जिंदगी जीने के लिए प्रेरित करें। संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ ने एक एजेंडा तैयार किया, जिसमें वर्ष 2030 तक यह कोशिश रहेगी कि इस दौड़ती-भागती दुनिया की रफ्तार में कोई भी दिव्यांग पीछे ना रह जाए।

मैं उन सभी लेखकगणों की बहुत आभारी हूं जिन्होंने इस पुस्तक के वॉल्यूम एक (2) में विभिन्न समस्याओ को अपने अध्याय एवं आलेखों के द्वारा वर्णित किया जैसे - अंधत्व नही दिव्यत्व शैक्षिक एवं सामाजिक परिवेश में, एक मानवीय समस्याएं, क्या विकलांगता एक अभिशाप है, स्वास्थ्य संबंधी समस्याएं, कार्य स्थल पर आने वाली समस्याएं, दिव्यांग बालकों की प्रमुख शैक्षिक समस्याएं, दिव्यांग बालक की समस्या और समाधान, सामाजिक समस्याएं, मानसिक समस्याएं आदि विषयों पर विद्वानों के रूप में अपनी बहुमूल्य सोच और ज्ञान का योगदान दिया है। सुविज्ञजनों के संसाधनपूर्ण योगदान के बिना इस पुस्तक का प्रकाशन संभव ही नहीं होता। संपूर्ण प्रकाशन टीम को उनके समर्थन और सहयोग के लिए हार्दिक धन्यवाद। यह पुस्तक शोधार्थी, पाठकों को ‘वर्तमान समाज में दिव्यांग बालक की समस्या’ को समझने में सहायक सिद्ध होगी।

यह ‘वर्तमान समाज में दिव्यांग बालक की समस्या’ संपादित पुस्तक साहित्य एवं शैक्षिक जगत को इस आशय के साथ प्रस्तुत कर रही हूं, कि इसमें प्रकाशित सभी अध्याय एवं आलेखों में अलग-अलग समस्याओं पर समाधान मिल सके। समीक्षाकों और आलोचकों से निवेदन है कि संपादित पुस्तक में कमी की तरफ इशारा करेंगे, तो अगली पुस्तक में सुधार करूंगी।

Indian Knowledge System

2024-08-13T05:38:24+00:00

The National Education Policy, also known as NEP-2020, is based on the rich heritage of ageless Indian philosophy and knowledge. India's knowledge systems, Jnan, Vignan, and Jeevan Darshan, have evolved through experience, observation, experimentation, and in-depth analysis. This legacy of validating and putting into practice has impacted education, the arts, administration, law, justice, health, manufacturing, and commerce. This has affected the classical languages of Bharat as well as other languages that were handed down orally, in writing, and through creative traditions. It includes an awareness of the accomplishments and challenges of ancient India as well as an awareness of the country's future aspirations concerning health, education, the environment, and pretty much every aspect of life.
Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) is an innovative unit at AICTE, New Delhi, that falls under the Ministry of Education (MoE). It was founded to encourage multidisciplinary study on all facets of IKS and to conserve and share IKS for future study and social applications. It will actively work to disseminate traditional knowledge in the fields of arts and literature, agriculture, basic sciences, engineering and technology, architecture, management, and economics, among other fields, as well as our rich national legacy.

Evaluation of Alcohol-Hybrid Solvent for Cottonseed Extraction

2024-08-12T06:25:42+00:00

In developing a process for solvent extraction of edible oil-bearing seeds; the prime objects are to produce superior quality meal and premium grade oil by economical methods. There are certain inherent as well as adventitious toxic factors in certain protein rich oil seeds like cottonseed, soybean etc., which vitiates the nutritive value of the concentrates. Towards the goal of utilization of protein rich deoiled cakes for human consumption, these toxicants have to be eliminated altogether or brought down to safe limits during solvent extraction. Hexane has been the major solvent used for vegetable oilseed extraction. Although hexane is presently the solvent of choice worldwide for oil extraction, it has some characteristics and lacks certain attributes that keep it from being an ideal extraction solvent. Furthermore, Federal Clean Air legislation implies that hexane may have only a brief commercial life remaining. One more disadvantage of hexane is that it can’t extract these anti-nutrients during processing.
Alcohols have long been attractive alternative solvents to hexane for vegetable oil extraction. Methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, and allyl alcohol are all good solvents at temperatures close to their boiling points; provided they remain anhydrous. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) may be advantageous among the alcohols in certain applications. The main advantage of
IPA is its greater solvency and the ability to detoxify the oil-bearing material. It also allows energy saving non-evaporative methods (chill separation) for solvents recovery from miscella.
In India cottonseed is one of the major oil seed and the cake left after extraction of oil is used for cattle feeding only, as it contains free gossypol and available protein is devoid of lysine. Considering its amino acid composition, processing of cottonseed deserves immediate attention for its utilization as a possible source of protein for human consumption. Therefore, this book is authored to explore the investigation of the efficiency of IPA as a solvent in terms of oil yield and its detoxification capability for cottonseed. This book includes development of extraction methodology to process the cottonseed kernels using IPA-hexane hybrid solvent systems. Further, effect of adjusting acidity of the water portion of the isopropanol-water azeotrope (IPAWA) and its hybrid with hexane on oil extraction, free gossypol reduction and protein recovery is investigated.
The author wishes to acknowledge with gratitude to Prof. D. N. Bhowmick for constructive comments and invaluable suggestions.

Characterization of Gel Grown Tartrate Crystals of Lanthanide Series Elements

2024-08-07T06:38:20+00:00

Crystals have ever fascinated mankind. The growth of crystals occurs either in nature or artificially in a laboratory. The Mother Nature has grown a variety of crystals in the crust of earth, which are mainly diamond and other precious stones. Systematic study of the growth and properties of crystals is covered under the subject “Crystal Growth.” Today, the growth of crystals does not remain the phenomena only occurring in nature, but it has become a well advanced as well as widely used laboratory technique. There always has been a requirement of good quality crystals for various applications. In this regard the crystals having specific properties can be treated as the backbone of today's technological development. This led the investigators and scientists to concentrate on the developments of new variety of defect-free crystals of high degree of purity. Earlier crystal growth techniques were considered an art rather than science. Theories are now available on the growth of crystals so that crystal growth is no more an art. A variety of experimental techniques are developed and modified to such a level as to grow tailor made crystals for specific applications.
This book reports the detailed study on various physical properties of gel grown tartrate crystals of lanthanide series elements. Materials in the form of tartrate compounds deserves special attention because of their many interesting physical properties such as dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and optical second harmonic generation. The rare earth compounds have attracted considerable attention on account of their luminescent and magnetic properties.

वर्तमान समाज एवं दिव्यांग बालक की समस्याएं

2024-08-06T06:59:52+00:00

हमारे समाज में एक ऐसा वर्ग भी है जिन्हें हम विकलांग बालक या दिव्यांग बालक कहते हैं। हमारे प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने दिव्यांग शब्द का उपयोग विकलांग व्यक्तियों के लिए दिसंबर 2015 को ‘मन की आवाज’ रेडियो प्रोग्राम में किया था। उनका यह मानना था, कि दिव्यांग उनको कहा जाता है जिनके पास ईश्वर द्वारा दी गई एक विशिष्ट क्षमता है, जिसका उपयोग करते हुए वह व्यक्ति अपने जीवन को सुचारू और सरल बनाते हैं। संयुक्त राष्ट्र के द्वारा दिव्यांगता के प्रति संवेदनाओ को बढ़ाने के लिए 3 दिसंबर को ‘विश्व दिव्यांग दिवस’ के रूप में घोषित किया गया है। इस दिवस का मुख्य उद्देश्य लोगों को दिव्यांगता के मुद्दे के प्रति जागरूक करना और समझ बढ़ाना है। प्रत्येक विशिष्ट बालक चाहे वह शारीरिक रूप से दिव्यांग हो, मंदबुदि बालक हो, मानसिक रूप से दिव्यांग हो, अधिगम निर्याेग्य बालक हो, सामाजिक रूप से कुसमायोजित बालक हो या पिछड़े बालक हो आदि, ऐसा कोई भी बालक जिसे अपने वातावरण में समायोजन करने में दिक्कत आती है, वह दिव्यांग बालक की श्रेणी में आता है। अर्थात ऐसा व्यक्ति जिसके शारीरिक
अंग में कोई खराबी हो एवं वह सामान्य व्यक्ति की तरह अपना सामान्य काम करने में अक्षम हो दिव्यांग कहलाता है।

“जिंदगी में जीत पाने की कोशिश इनकी, दिव्यांग होना नहीं कमी करेगा हिम्मत इनकी, मन के इरादे मजबूत इतने इनके, जो चाहते हैं वो मेहनत से ये जरूर पाते हैं” गंभीर दिव्यांगता की श्रेणी में 1.3 बिलियन लोग अनुमानित आते हैं जो हमारी दुनिया की आबादी का 16% या प्रत्येक 6 व्यक्ति में से 1 व्यक्ति है। दिव्यांगता से मानव जीवन कई रूप से प्रभावित हो सकता है। किसी बच्चे में दिव्यांगता कुछ अधिक पाई जाती है, और किसी बच्चो में कुछ कम मात्रा में दिव्यांगता पाई जाती है। दिव्यांगता का प्रभाव बालक और उसके पूरे परिवार की मनोदशा पर पड़ता है। सामान्य व्यक्ति की अपेक्षा दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों में अवसाद, अस्थमा, मधुमेह, मोटापा, स्ट्रोक तथा खराब मौखिक स्वास्थ्य जैसी बीमारी का विकसित होना दोगुना होता है। जिसके कारण प्रत्येक दिव्यांग व्यक्ति अपने जीवन में तनाव, कुंठा और संघर्षों का अधिक सामना करते हैं जिससे उनमें व्यवहारगत विकृतियां विकसित होने की अधिक संभावना होती है, तथा कार्य करने की क्षमताओं की स्थितियां दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों की सामाजिक, संवेगात्मक समस्याओं को ज्यादा बढ़ाती है, जिसके कारण उन में चिंता एवं खिन्नता के भाव उभरने लगते हैं। जो उन्हें अपने वातावरण में समायोजित होने नहीं देती है। यदि किसी कारणवश किसी बच्चे में शारीरिक अपंगता एक से ज्यादा प्रकार की होती है, तो उस बालक का प्रभावी रूप से सामाजिक कार्य करने की क्षमता अधिक घटती जाती है।

सामान्य व्यक्ति की तुलना में कुछ दिव्यांग व्यक्ति पहले मर जाते हैं। दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के लिए दुर्गम एवं महंगी परिवहन सुविधा सामान्य व्यक्तियों की तुलना में 15 गुना अधिक महंगी और कठिन होती है जिन्हें वे आसानी से प्राप्त नहीं कर पाते हैं। दिव्यांग व्यक्ति एक विविध समूह है, और लिंग, आयु, यौन अभिविन्यास, लिंग पहचान, जाति, धर्म, जातीयता और उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति जैसे कारक जीवन में उनके अनुभवो और उनके स्वास्थ्य आवश्यकताओं को प्रभावित करते हैं। जिससे उनका स्वास्थ्य खराब हो जाता है, और दूसरों की तुलना में रोजमर्रा के कामकाज में अधिक कठिनाइयों का अनुभव करते हैं। दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों को अपने समुदाय में कई सामाजिक समस्याओं का सामना करना पड़ता है। विविध प्रकार की दिव्यांगता के विभिन्न श्रेणी वाले व्यक्तियो के जीवन की उत्कृष्टता में निवारण करना एक जटिल और चुनौतीपूर्ण काम है। भारत सरकार ने विभिन्न श्रेणी की दिव्यांगता में से कुछ दिव्यांगता को अधिकारी रूप से सूचीबद्ध किया, ताकि जरूरतमंद व्यक्तियों की सरकारी सहायता की जा सके। सामाजिक न्याय एवं नि:शक्तजन कल्याण विभाग द्वारा 21 प्रकार के विकलांगताओं की सूची जागरूकता के लिए दिव्यांग अधिकार अधिनियम 2016 के तहत मान्यता प्रदान की गई है।

इन दिव्यांग बालकों को समाज में आर्थिक रूप से, सामाजिक रूप से, राजनीतिक रूप से, धार्मिक रूप से, व्यवसायिक रूप से, पारिवारिक रूप, वैवाहिक रूप तथा शैक्षिक रूप से आदि बहुत सी समस्याओं का सामना अपने व्यक्तिगत जीवन मे करना पड़ता है। आज सरकार ने दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के लिए समावेशी शिक्षा का प्रावधान लाया है जिससे अधिक से अधिक दिव्यांग बच्चे लाभान्वित हो सके, इसके लिए परिवार के साथ-साथ एक शिक्षक का भी कर्तव्य है कि विकलांग बच्चों को अपने पाठशाला, विद्यालय और कक्षा में समायोजित होने तथा सामंजस बनाने के लिए उन्हें प्रेरित करें और उन्हे अपना पूर्ण सहयोग देते हुए सामान्य बच्चों की तरह आगे बढ़ाने में सहायता प्रदान करें। जीवन में आने वाली हर समस्याओं के समाधान के लिए उनके मनोबल को बढ़ावा देना चाहिए। साथ ही उन्हे हमेशा धैर्य, धीरज और संयम के साथ अपने समस्या पर विचार करके उसके समाधान हेतु उपाय ढूंढने में सहायता प्रदान करनी चाहिए। आज समाज के प्रत्येक मनुष्य का यह कर्तव्य है, कि उनकी जरूरतो और भावनाओं को समझें और उनके जीवन में आने वाली सारी समस्याओं का सामना आत्मबल एवं भरोसे के साथ करने हेतु बढ़ावा देना, सही रास्ता दिखलाते हुए अपने जीवन मे हमेशा सही मार्ग पर चलने, उन्नति करने और बेहतर जिंदगी जीने के लिए प्रेरित करें। संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ ने एक एजेंडा तैयार किया, जिसमें वर्ष 2030 तक यह कोशिश रहेगी कि इस दौड़ती- भागती दुनिया की रफ्तार में कोई भी दिव्यांग पीछे ना रह जाए।

मैं उन सभी लेखकगणों की बहुत आभारी हूं जिन्होंने इस पुस्तक के वॉल्यूम एक (1) में विभिन्न समस्याओ को अपने अध्याय एवं आलेखों के द्वारा वर्णित किया जैसे - मानसिक समस्याएं, वैवाहिक समस्याएं, पारिवारिक समस्याएं, साहित्य में विकलांगता का अध्ययन, वर्तमान परिप्रेक्ष्य में दिव्यांग बालक, व्यावसायिक समस्याएं, कार्य स्थल पर आने वाली समस्याएं, शैक्षिक समस्याएं, दिव्यांग की समस्या और समाधान आदि विषयों पर विद्वानों के रूप में अपनी बहुमूल्य सोच और ज्ञान का योगदान दिया है। सुविज्ञजनों के संसाधनपूर्ण योगदान के बिना इस पुस्तक का प्रकाशन संभव ही नहीं होता। संपूर्ण प्रकाशन टीम को उनके समर्थन और सहयोग के लिए हार्दिक धन्यवाद। यह पुस्तक शोधार्थी, पाठकों को ‘वर्तमान समाज में दिव्यांग बालक की समस्या’ को समझने में सहायक सिद्ध होगी। यह ‘वर्तमान समाज में दिव्यांग बालक की समस्या’ संपादित पुस्तक साहित्य एवं शैक्षिक जगत को इस आशय के साथ प्रस्तुत कर रही हूं, कि इसमें प्रकाशित सभी अध्याय एवं आलेखों में अलग-अलग समस्याओं पर समाधान मिल सके। समीक्षाकों और आलोचकों से निवेदन है कि संपादित पुस्तक में कमी की तरफ इशारा करेंगे, तो अगली पुस्तक में सुधार करूंगी।

Human Resource Management has always been changing; in the modern world, HR is more than just a support function; it now plays a strategic role. The human resources function mainly handles matters pertaining to employees, employers, and other individuals associated with the organisation. Its goal is to raise worker performance and productivity while bringing the workforce into line with the company's objectives.
Recruitment and selection, compensation, general administration, employee welfare and involvement, communication, organisational development, performance management, employee motivation, rewards and recognitions, and training and development are just a few of the people-related issues that are handled by HRM functions in an organisation.
Human resources information systems, or HRIS systems, were among the first commercial software solutions created in the 1980s. Why? One of the departments in any organisation with the highest administrative workload back then was and still is HR. In addition to being overburdened with paperwork and record-keeping, human resource personnel are also responsible for protecting some of the most sensitive and valuable data about their applicants and employees.
The Human Resource Information System, or HRIS, is a specially created software programme that aids businesses in automating and managing their payroll, accounting, management, and human resources processes. By automating crucial HR procedures including hiring, training, manpower planning, performance evaluation, and job analysis & design, HRIS has an impact on the effectiveness of people, processes, and important organisational strategies.
Objectives:
• To understand the concept of Human Resource Information Systems
• To familiarize the applications of HRIS in Organizations

Pharmacology – I

2024-07-02T04:16:21+00:00

In the fields of medicine, biology, and pharmaceutical science, pharmacology deals with drugs and their effects. A drug can be artificial, natural, or endogenous (found in the body), including physiological or biochemical. actions carried out by organisms, tissues, cells, or organs (both endogenous and extrinsic bioactive species may be included under the term "drug"). To be more precise, it is the study of how substances interact with living things to influence normal or aberrant biochemical function. The study of pharmacology focuses on the properties, origins, and effects of drugs—whether biological, chemical, or therapeutic—on living systems.
Pharmacy is not the same as pharmacology. The science of finding and characterising substances that affect the body is known as pharmacology. Pharmacy, on the other hand, describes medical services that apply pharmacology principles to enhance patient outcomes in a clinical context.
Understanding what drugs do to living things and how their effects can be used for therapeutics is the primary goal of the subject. The course covers topics such as drug mechanism of action, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects on the body as well as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as side effects, clinical applications, interactions, dosages, and administration routes for various drug classes.
Objectives:
1. Recognise the pharmacological effects of various drug classes.
2. Describe how the drug acts at the organ system, subcellular, and macromolecular levels.
3. Use your foundational knowledge of pharmacology to treat and prevent a range of illnesses.
4. Observe how medications affect animals through simulated experiments.

Small Indigenous Food Fishes and their Nutritional Significance

2024-04-24T03:27:59+00:00

Fish is the essential food recommended for the prevention of many life-threatening diseases of human being. Fishes are also regarded as the cheapest source of vital nutrients which are the key of a healthy nation. Fishes play an important role in the field of communities suffering from malnutrition, vitamin and protein deficiency. The estimation of proximate composition of fish species not only evaluates the nutritional importance but also gives the justification for better processing and preservation. Many parts of the world are enriched with a plenty of natural resources where there are so many indigenous small fishes in ponds, lakes, rivers and wetlands and there are many small food fishes traditionally consumed by people across the globe. However, there are many species are unknown and not studied at all. The rural people consume these small fishes mainly in their diet due to their low cost and availability. Therefore, further research has to be done to find out the nutritional values of the small food fishes for making a healthy society and for enhancing the nutritional awareness.
This book is an attempt to create an awareness about the nutritional importance of the small indigenous food fishes. The knowledge about the proximate composition, amino acid, fatty acid, mineral and vitamin contents of the small indigenous food fishes will help the readers to understand the importance of small indigenous fish species. It will also create awareness among the community people to conserve the food fishes by regular monitoring the fish fauna and conserve them as well.
Any suggestions and corrections (if any) towards further improvement will be thankfully acknowledged and highly appreciated. The editors are very much thankful to the team members of ‘Kripa Drishti Publications’ who were very supportive, quick in response and helped in publishing this Book.

Strategy & Application of Plant Breeding

2024-04-08T06:51:51+00:00

The agriculture industry has radically transformed over the past 50 years. Advances in machinery have expanded the scale, speed, and productivity of farm equipment, leading to more efficient cultivation of more land. Seed, irrigation, and fertilizers also have vastly improved, helping farmers increase yields. This book covers technologies that are extremely useful for the day-to-day operation of a farm or garden. The potential of new digital technologies in agriculture is astonishing. Linking farmers digitally would allow them to organize and share equipment, facilitate the sharing or exchanging of fields and support alternative supply and production channels, as well as promoting solidarity.

Everything that can be measured can be improved. The agricultural plots are managed on the basis of observation, measurement and action against inter and intra-crop variability. Based on this reflection, agricultural experience is also gradually growing hand in hand with technology. Its smart tools and services enable the development of true precision agriculture. The precision-agriculture approach can also help reduce inefficiencies and waste. It works by refining current practices and does not encourage the exploration of alternatives. This is what scientists call "technological lock-in", with precision approaches reinforcing pesticide use rather than eliminating it. IoT sensors enable precision agriculture, helping farmers use as little water, power, and other resources as possible.

Agriculture is in the early days of yet another revolution, at the heart of which lie data and connectivity. Artificial intelligence, analytics, connected sensors, and other emerging technologies could further increase yields, improve the efficiency of water and other inputs, and build sustainability and resilience across crop cultivation and animal husbandry. Technological innovations have greatly shaped agriculture throughout time.

The technology of drones in agriculture is rising day by day for modifying farming. There are high-technology drones that will help to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of farming. The drone in the agricultural field can monitor the crops, manage the plants, and supports crop-spraying. The role of digitization in agriculture is increasing with the use of ICT and mobiles.

New technologies in the field of agriculture are improving the lifestyle of the farming communities. Main among these are Vertical farming, Aeroponics, pearl culture and permaculture.

Poultry, Goat and Pig farming are the enterprise that are the first priority of farmers to take for their livelihood. It provides handsome income on the investment made by farmers. We have tried to elaborate their scientific rearing to avoid any loss.

Soil testing, composting, Agroforestry and Medicinal and aromatic plants cultivation is providing opportunities to farmers not only to earn more but also to save the environment.

This book will serve as a valuable resource for those who wish to learn about new technologies and equipment in agriculture. It will help the readers to understand the uses of technologies and their benefits.

Income Tax-I, II

2024-03-15T10:45:08+00:00

INCOME TAX- I, II book's primary goal is to increase public awareness of the fundamental concepts of taxation from a policy, legal, and administrative standpoint while providing readers with a fair assessment of the rights and obligations associated with taxation. The book explains taxation in various legal systems, lays out current principles of taxation from both an economic and legal standpoint, discusses tax law sanctions, and outlines considerations for the design of substantive and procedural tax laws.

However, these days, the government intervenes as soon as it can and changes the law quickly to eliminate any potential for tax planning of this kind. Consequently, there is a need for a concise Practice Specific Commentary on Income Tax that can be used as a useful tool for income-tax consultants, as opposed to a text book that can be used for both professional and student consultations. Taxes are a mandatory financial charge imposed by the government on individuals and companies to fund various public expenditures and government programmes.

This course covers the concepts of financial structure, imposition of taxes, maintaining accounting records, and overseeing monetary arrangements, with special attention paid to tax evaluation. Individuals will gain practical and theoretical knowledge of accounting, direct taxation, indirect taxation and auditing. Courses on taxation are available across certification, undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma levels.

Advanced Organic and Flow Chemistry Applications

2024-03-14T06:19:41+00:00

Editing a textbook at any level is always a challenge. In organic chemistry, exciting new discoveries are being made at an ever-increasing pace. However, students of the subject still arrive in the classroom knowing only what they have been taught, often less. The challenge is to present appropriate review material, present venerable, classic chemistry while dealing with the latest results, and, most importantly, provoke thought and discussion. At the time this book was written, there was a need for an advanced text that incorporated these aspects of our science.

The approach taken in this book conveys the message that the underlying theory of organic chemistry pervades the entire science. A good understanding of the fundamentals of organic and physical chemistry will suffice as a foundation for using this textbook to advantage in the last decade, the field of flow chemistry has advanced tremendously and a pleth-ora of applications have been reported in different fields at an unparalleled speed. The characteristics of flow reactors are their exceptionally fast heat and mass transfer.

Using so-called micro reactors, virtually instantaneous mixing can be achieved for all but the fastest reactions. Similarly, the accumulation of heat, formation of hot spots, and dangers of thermal runaways can be prevented. Despite the fact that there appears to be ample literature in the flow chemistry space‒including several extensive monographs, books and highly cited review articles‒there is a lack of suitable textbooks that can be used for teaching purposes and that can explain the fundamentals to newcomers to the field. A complaint often heard from companies is that there are not enough scientists with the unique training and skill sets of a flow chemist, that is, a person having been educated at the inter-face of synthetic chemistry and chemical engineering, with additional expertise–for example–in analytical chemistry and data-rich experimentation/machine learning. Both at the university level and at other research institutions, where scientists have-to familiarize themselves with this rapidly developing field.

It is my hope that your reading of this text will be enjoyable and useful, and that it might convince many of you to specialize in organic chemistry.

Millets: Reservoir of Nutrients

2024-03-09T07:52:15+00:00

The basis of our life is "Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya" which tells us that we move from darkness to light and with this light the darkness in the entire creation disappears when the rays of the sun illuminate the earth. The basis of our life is the energy of the Sun, and this energy is stored in our food and agricultural products.

Cereals are food agricultural products, which are the biggest source of energy for us. According to Atharvaveda, food is the basis of life of all living beings. Without grains a creature cannot survive. Among grains, 'coarse grain' is an important grain which has a very notable place in our lives. Coarse grains are also known as 'Shri Anna' and 'Millets'.

India celebrated 2018 as the ‘National Year of Millets’ to create greater awareness about unparalleled attributes of millets. Further, India advocated for declaration of 2023 as “International year of Millets” which brought millets into mainstream grains. Undoubtedly millets are reservoir of nutrients and strong profile with numerous health benefits. They are healthy not only for human being but also for our agriculture and overall environment. Every possible effort is being made to popularize millets so that they can be adopted by majority of households. Being educationist and researcher, this is our small effort to highlight several dimensions of millets. It has been tried to cover many aspects such as nutritional importance, health benefits, medicinal values of millets and role of agro based industries in promotion of millets. This book combines information on some nutritious, healthy and easy preparations so that inclusion of millets in daily diet can be increased at large scale. It also explains the role of home makers in popularizing millets at household level.

Thus, this book describes various dimensions of millets and their emerging importance with respect to nutrition, health, processing industries and food security.

भगवद्गीता की मूलभूत शिक्षाएँ (भगवद्गीता का प्रासंगिक अध्ययन)

2024-02-06T10:15:39+00:00

जनता की सामान्य समझ यह हैकक भगवद्-गीता कहिंदूधमषकी एक पकवत्र पुस्तक है, सेवानिवृत्ति के वर्षों के लिए एक आरामकुर्सी पुस्तक या दार्शनिक जटिलताओं से भरा एक प्राचीन प्राणी है। ये सभी मत आधुनिक सन्दर्भ में गीता को कमोबेश अप्रचलित बनाते हैं। लेकिन अधिकृत स्रोतों से सीखने पर, कोई यह समझ पाता है की भगवद्-गीता इससे कही अधिक है। यह आनंददायक और आनंदमय जीवन जीने के लिए एक मार्गदर्शक पुस्तक है। दूसरे शब्दों में, यह एक सार्थक मानव जीवन जीने के लिए एक उपयोगकर्ता पुस्तिका है।

भगवान कृष्ण ने यह ज्ञान अर्जुन को कुरूक्षेत्र के युद्धक्षेत्र में दिया था, जब अर्जुन संकटग्रस्त स्थिति में थे। यह ज्ञान प्राप्त कर वह अपनी प्रसन्न एवं स्थिर स्थिति में लौट आया। हम सभी जीवन में कठिन परिस्थितियों से गुजरते हैं और अक्सर उन परिस्थितियों से अभिभूत हो जाते हैं, न जाने कहां से समाधान ढूंढें। भगवद्-गीता हमें ऐसे भ्रमों से बाहर निकालती है और हमें अनंत काल, ज्ञान और आनंद की हमारी मूल स्थिति में पुनर्स्थापित करती है। यदि हम भगवान कृ ष्ण द्वारा कदए गए कनदेशोिंका पालन करें, तो हम अर्जुन के समान आनंदमय स्थिति प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।

हर कोई खुश रहना चाहता हैऔर हर कोई लगातार उस खुशी की तलाश में रहता है। चाहे बच्चा हो या बूढा, भारतीय हो या अमेरिकी, हिंदू हो या ईसाई, पुरुष हो या महिला, हर कोई खुशी की तलाश में है। लेकिन दुर्भाग्य से, ख़ुशी के वास्तविक ज्ञान की छह में वे इसे हर जगह खोज रहे हैं और निराश हो रहे हैं | भगवद्-गीता हमे दिखती है की वह खुशी कहाँ है | ठीक वैसे ही जैसे जब हम कोई नया गैजेट खरीदते है, तो उसके साथ एक उपयोगकर्ता मैनुअल भी आता है | मैनुअल हमें सिखाता है की उस गैजेट का सर्वोत्तम उपयोग कैसे करें और उससे अथिकतम खुशी कैसे प्राप्त करें | उचित ज्ञान की छह में, हम इसका उपयोग करने के अपने तरिके ईजाद कर सकते हैं लेकिन अंतत: हम निराश हो जायेंगे | तो, भगवद्-गीता सर्वोच्च भगवान कृष्ण द्वारा दिया गया मैनुअल है जो हमे इस मानव जीवन का सर्वोत्तम उपयोग करने और इससे वास्तविक खुशी प्राप्त करने में मार्गदर्शन करता है |

Recent Advances in Research of Bacterial Endophytes and their Roles as Ameliorators of Abiotic and Biotic Stresses

2024-01-12T06:59:48+00:00

Maize plants use a variety of strategies to gain adaptive advantages in varying conditions, such as the ability to tolerate abiotic stress (e.g., drought or heat due to climate change) in order to grow, reproduce, and defend themselves. Creating relationships with bacteria that encourage plant growth is one of these tactics. Plants can have bacteria attached to them as endophytes, rhizospheres, or rhizoplanes.
Microbial endophytes are symbionts that live within plant tissues and do not cause disease symptoms in their host plants. They have been the subject of recent research due to their ability to promote plant growth and their advantageous roles in the responses of plants to abiotic stress. This study focuses on the vital role that endophytic bacteria play in plant health and the various ways in which they stimulate plant tolerance to abiotic stress. Through the production of secondary active compounds that shield plants from pathogens like insects and fungi, the endophytic microbial community can promote plant growth. Additionally, endophytes can produce extracellular enzymes that are essential for the colonisation of endophytes within their host plants. Microbial endophytes can break down dangerous compounds to allow plants to grow in contaminated soils, and they can also act as agents that promote plant growth by producing phytohormones. Through a variety of strategies, endophytes control plant growth in challenging environments like salinity, drought, temperature, heavy metal stress, and nutrient stress. This book might present fresh ideas for using endophytic inoculants in agricultural settings to counteract abiotic stresses and boost crop productivity worldwide.

Ethnobiology and Traditional Knowledge

2024-07-04T04:52:03+00:00

The study on the relationship between biological organisms and ethnic people is Ethnobiology. Its empirical knowledge used by tribal people in the traditional way is so called traditional knowledge (TK). Implementation of the knowledge system and the status of the ethnic people is a society-based system. Culture, ethnicity, people's participation and community practice is an age-old practice based on traditional system. In different countries, its use and value system are tuned by geographical boundaries and the ability of people to join in the system is specific based on the traditional approach. Tribal groups and their use of resource and resource management differs from a region to other regions even from a tribe to others. Totems, taboos, folk tales are some of the collections in a non-written form passing through the people of new generations superfluous by the older group of people. Cultivation, crop collection, seed storage, pest management, maturing and agricultural time scale management vary from a group to others owing to their homogeneity but due to lack of physiognomic differences. Hunting, fishing and bee keeping processes are traditional though modern tools have been introduced by them due to their wide circulation of modern knowledge transferred from newer and technology based societal people. Ethnomedicine, ethno-culture, ethno-tales, ethno-society are under threat due to modernization and continuous use of web-based knowledge. Western culture diminishes the ethno-culture due to new settlement of ethnic people in towns and cities. Grazing, browsing, and wild stock management is under threat due to shrinkage of habitats and fragmentation of societal culture. Deforestation, forest fire, soil degradation, change of land use pattern, and change of marriage system fortifies the abrupt ecosystem diversity in general which could be a reason for diversity loss in the tribal society. In this book authors are trying to figure out the key concepts in a special way. Hope that it will help to make a special connection between the community people and the resources to identify the tribal domain. It will help policymakers and Govt. to identify the gap for further research and extension in a special way. Let's go to the core part of the book for our reading to take the intrinsic value in a scientific way.

Growth of Tartrate Crystals of Lanthanide Series Elements in Silica Gel

2024-07-24T09:10:40+00:00

To explore the inherent properties in a crystal single crystal are always required. The search for high quality crystals -for better analytical results brought in different techniques for crystal growth. Growth of crystals from all the three phases of matter is tested by various methods. A particular method has been selected only after considering the constraints such as the specific requirement; the quality of the sample, economy etc. Among the various methods used for the growing single crystals, the gel technique is believed to be simple, sordid and elegant in many respects. The gel is a neutral medium. It allows the free passage of ions and sustains nucleation, which are essential for the growth of a crystal. It is believed that many natural crystals have been formed in gelatinous mediums. The versatility of the method and its close resemblance with biological systems has attracted the attention of many workers.

This book reports the detailed studies on the growth of lanthanides tartrate crystals in gel medium. Materials in the form of tartrate compounds deserves special attention because of their many interesting physical properties such as dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and optical second harmonic generation. The rare earth compounds have attracted considerable attention on account of their luminescent and magnetic properties. Among the rare earth compounds lanthanum, cerium and neodymium tartrate crystals were selected because of their promising technical applications in optics and magnetism. Beside this the lack of work on the growth of these materials prompted the initiation of this work. This book is a comprehensive account of the experimental and theoretical aspects of various stages of crystal growth and growth controlling parameters in gel medium. The scope of the book is straight forward and designed in six chapters. It contains the observations and results of the growth of lanthanum tartrate, cerium tartrate and neodymium tratrate crystals.

Chapter 1 contains various aspects of the growth of crystals and begins with an outline of the developments of the subject. A discussion on the classification of the methods of crystal growth and the essential fragments of the theories which seems to be logical and consistent with the elementary nature of the thesis are included in this chapter. An outline on the importance of lanthanide series elements (rare earths) materials and the topic of the present problem is also seated in this chapter.

Chapter 2 introduces the subject of gel growth. The advantages of gel method over the conventional methods in growing certain type of materials especially the tartrate crystals are described. Exhaustive surveys of the literature concerning the subject, the various modifications of the methods are discussed.

Chapter 3 deals with growth of lanthanum tartrate crystals. The experimental setup, chemical reactions involved, growth kinetics, effect of the change in different parameters on growth mode are described in full length in this chapter. By changing the concentration of reactants, age, density and pH of the medium the nature of the growth has been investigated. Appreciable changes in the habit of the crystals, nucleation density, advancement of the crystallization front into the medium etc are
attributed to the changes in the environmental conditions of the growth. All observations and findings are correlated to the theories.

Chapter 4 gives a detailed account of the growth of cerium tartrate crystals.

Chapter 5 covers the growth of neodymium tartrate crystals in detail.

Biochemical Status of Small Indigenous Food Fishes

2023-10-31T07:02:34+00:00

The study about the fish nutrients is an ongoing area of research in India and abroad. The nutritional value of a fish includes the biochemical analysis with respect to the proximate composition, amino acid profile, fatty acid profile, mineral and vitamin contents. Fishes are vitally proteinous food for human consumption. Many other health nutrients like fatty acids, vitamins, minerals etc. are provided by fishes. The biochemical composition of fishes are varied by the changes of environment, season, age, sex etc. Especially the small fishes are more appreciated by the rural poor people due to their ease of availability and comparatively lower price. Large popular fishes are too costly to be included in the regular diet of poor people. Owing to their high market value these have already gained importance in the field of commercialization as well as scientific investigation. Previous literatures witnessed a lot of nutritional excellence of the big fishes. But, so far the small fishes were less studied inspite of good nutritional contents possessed by them.

The Bodoland Territorial Region of Assam is blessed with myriads of riverline and beels which are highly productive ecosystems. Plenty of fishes inhibit in the rivers, ponds, beels and many other wetlands of this area. However, biochemical analysis of the nutritional value of these fishes were lesser known. The objective of writing this book is to ensure about the nutritional values of some small indigenous fishes of the study area and create an awareness about human health and nutrition in connection with consumption of such food fishes in our daily diet.

‘Embellish Agribusiness of Farmers by Organic Farming by Using Earthworms Vermicompost & Beneficial Sea & Rock Minerals Together for High Productivity of Chemical-free Nutritive & Health Protective Foods for Society’

2023-10-04T11:57:58+00:00

In Modern Agriculture, Production & Use of Agrochemicals for High Food Productivity, Development & Use of Modern Instruments, Electricity & Petroleum Products for Land Mowing, Tilling, Irrigating Soils and Harvesting the Crops also had some Adverse Effects on the Environment & Society.

a). Production & Use of Agrochemicals (Chemical Fertilizers & Pesticides)

Although it was essential to use the Agrochemicals (Chemical Fertilizers for Growth of Crops & Chemical Pesticides to Protect them from Pests & Diseases) for high food productivity to feed the fast-growing population of the world & protect from ‘hunger’ & ‘starvation’ it came as a ‘Mixed Blessing’ for the world. It was also termed as ‘Green Revolution’ when it was started in the 1960’s. It adversely affected the Environment & the Agricultural Ecosystems all over world. It badly degraded & destroyed the ‘natural fertility’ of the farm soils & ‘chemically contaminated’ many of the foods produced. About 57 fruits & vegetables grown by the Agrochemicals have been found to be contaminated with the ‘Residual Chemical Pesticides’. As mentioned earlier, several farmers are ‘poisoned’ every year all over the world by the use of Pesticides. Use of Chemical Fertilizers in farms also consumes more water for Farm Irrigation using huge ‘Groundwater Resources’ of Earth which is now fast depleting all over the World.

b). Use of ‘Metals’ & ‘Materials’ for Production of Farm Vehicles and Instruments

In modern times, production of metals like ‘Iron & Steel’, ‘Copper & Aluminium’ are required in large amounts for the production of Machines & Equipments for development of ‘Food Farms’ in the fertile Forested areas by removing the Trees, mowing & tilling the Soils to remove the ‘weeds & grass’. These days ‘Mowing Equipments & Vehicles’ (Tractors) for Soil tilling in Farms are also needed all over the world as the farm soils have become very ‘Hard & Compact’ due to heavy use of Agrochemicals. Equipments are also needed for Farm Irrigation and Harvesting of food crops especially the Cereal crops.

Metals are also required for the construction & development of Human Habitats (Homes), Industries (Producing Consumer Goods, Automobiles and all Transport Systems for the movement of People on Land, in Air and on Waters. Production of metallic equipments also incurs massive Environmental damages in the ‘mining’ for extraction & processing’ of the ‘Iron Ores’ & other metals from the Earth crust due to ‘deforestation’, ‘earth cutting’ & ‘soil erosion’. They also cause massive ‘air & water pollution’ and use of massive groundwater resources which is fast depleting from Earth all over the world. Similarly, massive Environmental damages occur in the production and use of Agrochemicals for Farm productions.

c). High Use of Petroleum Products in Vehicles & Instruments in Farms for Mowing, Tilling, Irrigation and Harvesting

(N.B. Now the Global Promotion of ‘Electric Vehicles’ & use of ‘Clean Hydrogen Fuel’ in Automobiles will also be Used in the Vehicles & Instruments Used in Farms). Currently, Petroleum products (Petrol & Diesel) are used in all the Automobiles, Aeroplanes, Ships & Boats for faster movement of people across the world through Land, Air & Water in Oceans & Rivers. It is essential for the rapid movement of human society in world for their works & day to day activities. Farmers also need them for the operation of Farm Vehicles (Tractors) and in Instruments for ‘Land Mowing’, ‘Soil Tilling’ & ‘Harvesting of Crops’.

Billions are invested in the mining of Petroleum Products and in their drilling equipments. Oil Drilling & Refining of Petroleum products generates huge ‘Toxic Wastes & Pollutants & Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and contaminates vast land areas. Automobile operated on Petroleum products emit huge ‘Toxic Pollutants’ & GHGs inducing ‘Global Warming & Climate Change’ which is an ‘Apocalyptic Peril’ compared with the ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’. About 4.3 tons of GHGs are emitted every year by an average Car. Diesel vehicles emit over 100 ‘micro-particles’ several of which are ‘Carcinogenic’. According to United Nation Environment Program (UNEP) over 3 million People in world die every year from Air Pollution related diseases. Polluted air is responsible for increase in Cancer by a third, Infant Mortality by a two-third, Heart ailments by 40% and Miscarriages by half since 1970. Non-cigarette smoker Lung Cancer rate is about 2000 cases each year. Fortunately, for the safe future of society ‘Zero Pollution’ ‘Electric Vehicles’ & ‘Hydrogen Powered’ Automobiles are being promoted now all over world. Man reached on the Moon in 1969 using the ‘Clean Hydrogen Fuel’ in the Space Flights.

Hydrogen has the highest density of Energy per unit of weight. It has much more Energy content (34 kcal/gram) than Coal (7.8 kcal/gm) & Petrol (10.3 – 8.4 kcal/gm) with emission products only as Water Vapor & Nitrogen Oxides. When cooled to a Liquid state it takes up only 1/700 as much space as it does in its gaseous state. Civilization will never run out of Hydrogen as it can be generated from all Waters & also from Organic Wastes. U.S., Australia, India, Japan & Canada are ahead in promoting the ‘Zero-Pollution Vehicles’. They are also operating Hydrogen Powered Buses. The Netherlands, Italy, Germany and U.K. are also taking lead.

d). High Use of ‘Electricity’ to Power & Enlighten the Farms & Operate the Instruments. (N.B. Now the ‘Solar’ & ‘Wind Power Plants’ are being installed in Farms all over the World).

Huge electricity is required everyday to ‘Power & Enlighten’ the Agriculture Farms and to operate the ‘Irrigation Plants & Machines’ in Farms. So far Electricity generated from the ‘Coal Power Plants’ are used in Farms which badly pollutes our ‘Breathing Air’ all over world. Today about 189 ‘Hazardous Chemicals’ have been identified in the atmosphere. It also takes out more ‘Carbon’ from the Earth and put it into the atmosphere which then works as ‘Greenhouse Gas’. Billions are invested in the mining of Coals. Many nations in the world including India & Australia are now closing their ‘Coal Power Plants’. Similarly, multi-billions are invested in the mining of ‘Uranium’ & development of ‘Nuclear Power Plants’. They emit more dangerous ‘Radioactive Elements’ in the environment. Many nations in the world including Australia & India have closed their Nuclear Power Plants after the ‘Nuclear Disasters’ in some nations.

Promotion of ORGANIC FARMING will only Resolve all the Above Environmental Problems & Help the FARMERS & Society to Live Safely

Organic Farming is a unique ‘Agribusiness’ for the Farmers (Feeders of the Nations) giving them opportunity to work with ‘Mother Nature’. The need for improved ‘Organic Farming’ skills has been identified as crucial for the Farmers to maintain the sustainability of their Agribusiness and also protect their health. Today the Farmers all over world have to deal with increasingly complex issues for their Farming & Food Production such as ‘Use of Toxic Agrochemicals’ to ‘Fertilize the Farm Soil’ & for the Control of ‘Pests & Diseases’, ‘Depleting Groundwater Resources’ and the ‘Changing Quality & Quantity of Water’ needed for ‘Farm Irrigation’, ‘Degrading Farm Soil & Deteriorating Their Natural Fertility’, ‘Impacts of Climate Change’, ‘Growth of Glyphosate-resistant Weeds in Farms’, ‘Uncertain Commodity Prices’ & ‘Increasing Prices of Farm Inputs’.

Now ‘Solar’ & ‘Wind Power Plants’ are being promoted all over world to generate Electricity with ‘no pollution’. Agriculture Farms have also become very suitable place for installation of ‘Solar Panels’ & ‘Wind Power Plants’ due to large open areas with brighter sunshine & higher wind intensity blowing for longer time. Many farmers in world are now installing ‘Solar Panels’ & ‘Wind Power Plants’ in their Farms to generate Electricity for use in their Farms without any problems in Agriculture Production. This has been termed as ‘Agrovoltaics’. They are supplying their excess electricity generated to the local Govt.with good returns. This is further embellishing their ‘Agribusiness’ & boosting their Economy.

Modern Solar Panels generate 260 kWh of Electricity, paying back the cost within few years & then becomes free for Electricity generation. It is also ‘maintenance free’. Australian Farmers reported 170 % return on investments they make on installation of Solar Panels in their Farms. Photovoltaic ‘Solar Farms’ using 12.5 square km of land can supply Electricity to whole of Australia for one year. Organic Farmers in world will become producers of ‘Chemical-free Foods’ & generators of ‘Pollution-free Energy’. But, even in the promotion of ‘Organic Farming’ in World operation of some of the above developmental activities will be needed for Global Agriculture.

These are-

1). For the production of ‘Metals’ for development of Farming Vehicles & Equipments, generation of ‘Electricity’ to power the Farms & Equipments;

2). Use of Petroleum Products for the Farm Vehicles used for ‘Land Mowing’ & ‘Milder Soil Tilling’ as the Farm Soils becomes very soft by the use of Organic Fertilizers especially the Earthworms Vermicompost. Earthworms also regularly burrow the Soils by their movement making them soft & aerated. Also, less irrigation of water will be required as the ‘Moisture Holding’ capacity of the soils
significantly increases by use of Vermicompost.

But once there is 100 % promotion of ‘Solar & Wind Power’ Plants, ‘Electric’ & ‘Hydrogen Powered’ Vehicles all over the World, Organic Farming will become a ‘Blessing’ for the Farmers & the Global Human Society. Production & use of Metallic Equipments will also become much safer. Farmlands where we grow our foods are the basis of survival of mankind on Earth & the Farmers are our ‘feeders’ sent by God. Former Prime Minister of India Sir Lal Bahadur Shashtri highly appreciated the Farmers of World as the ‘Feeders of Nations’ and gave the slogan ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’ highlighting the role of Farmers like the ‘Army of Nations’ to protect the Society.

About 99.7% of ‘human foods’ comes from the Farmlands, which is shrinking by more than 10 million hectares every year due to ‘Soil Degradation & Erosion’. The growing ‘Natural Disasters’ due to ‘Global Warming & Climate Change’ are also destroying the Farmlands all over the world by ‘heavy rainfalls’ & ‘leaching of soils’. In 1950 there were 2 million acres of Agricultural land in the World. Today, there is less than 600,0000 acres. Every year, nearly 27 million hectares of ‘Fertile Soil’ is lost. 30 % of the Worlds ‘arable lands’ has become ‘unproductive’. Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) has warned that World's Soil was degrading so fast that after 30 years it may not be able to feed its growing population. In U.S. it is costing the Nation & the Farmers the losses of about US $ 37.6 billion each year in ‘food productivity’. Worldwide the economic losses incurred by the Farmers (Feeders of the global human society) due to lower ‘food productivity’ is estimated to be about $ 400 billion per year.

Dr. Norman Ernest Borlaug was a Nobel Laureate American agronomist who initiated the ‘Green Revolution’ worldwide in the 1960s in Mexico. Indian Agriculture Scientist Prof. M.S. Swaminathan collaborated with Sir Norman Borlaug & spearheaded a mass movement with farmers in India towards the goal of ‘Green Revolution’. The high yielding varieties of Wheat and Rice developed by Dr. Swaminathan and Dr. Borlaug were the foundation of the Green Revolution. It saved many underdeveloped & developing countries from certain famine-like conditions in the 1960s. The term ‘Green Revolution’ to enhance the high productivity of Foods by use of Agrochemicals to feed the growing population on Earth was coined by the great U.S. Agriculture Scientist Prof. William Gaud in 1968. However, the Agrochemicals which ushered in the ‘Green Revolution’ in the late 1960’s came as a ‘mixed blessing’ for mankind. Use of Agrochemicals over the years increased the ‘Quantity’ of foods but decreased its ‘Nutritional Quality’ essential for ‘Good Health’, ‘High Strength & Vitality’. It also destroyed the ‘Physical & Bio-chemical Properties’ of the farm soil reducing the ‘Essential Minerals’ & ‘Beneficial Microbes’ important for increasing the ‘Natural Fertility’ of the Soil.

Excessive use of Chemical Fertilizers also results in loss of ‘humic contents’ in the Farm Soil which is essential for formation and development of ‘roots’ in plants and ‘plant growth’. Food productivity is declining while the cost of Agrochemicals is rising, increasing the cost of ‘Food Production’ with ‘Diminishing Returns’ to the Farmers.

Adverse effects of overuse of Agrochemicals and its hazardous impacts on the human health and the environment is being felt now. According to United Nation Environment Program (UNEP) & World Health Organization (WHO) some 25 million Farmers and Agricultural workers are ‘Poisoned’ by ‘Chemical Pesticides’ & some 10–20,000 people in world die every year from it. Several Fruits & Vegetables grown by Agrochemicals have been found with some ‘Residual Pesticides’. U.S. Scientists predict that up to 20,000 Americans may die of Cancer, each year, due to them. Global Chemical Agriculture also emits some 33.3 % of the ‘Green House Gases’ (Carbon Dioxide, Methane & Nitrous Oxide) into the atmosphere inducing ‘Global Warming & Climate Change’. It is all due the the production & use of Agrochemicals & aggressive ‘Plowing’ (Soil Tilling) as the Farm Soils becomes hard due to heavy use of Agrochemicals. When water mixes with ‘Nitrogenous Fertilizer’ and there are is no Crops in the farm to absorb it, there is huge emission of ‘Nitrous Oxide’ which is over 300 times more powerful GHG than Carbon Dioxide with much greater Warming potential.There are approximately 720 billion tones of Carbon (C) in our atmosphere. 60 million tons of Carbon is added annually from Soil when the farmlands are plowed, releasing ‘Organic Carbon’ into the air. According to Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO), Australia has 473 million hectares of Agricultural land & emitted 537 million tons of CO2-e(equivalent) of GHG in 2009. Chemical Farming is proving highly destructive for the Environment & Society, especially the Farmers all over the world. ‘Strength & Vitality’ of people in the World is also reducing due to eating of Chemically grown foods with ‘Poor Nutritional Quality’ and many ‘Health
Problems’ including ‘Cancers’ & ‘Heart Diseases’ are increasing even in the ‘Rich Society’ who can afford to eat the best foods from the market. According to World Health Organization (WHO) over 35,000,000 people in the World are suffering from ‘Arthritis’ & ‘Muscle Pains’. According to the ‘United States Soil Conservation Department’ (USSCD), U.S. produces more foods than any other nations in the World with enough foods for the society to eat, yet 40 % people suffers from ‘Malnutrition’ as the foods do not have enough essential ‘Minerals’ & ‘Vitamins’ to keep them healthy. The cause of all these ‘Human Health Problems’ due to the ‘Depleting Soil Minerals’ & ‘Chemicals in the Foods’ has been scientifically confirmed now. In January 1968, even before the term ‘Green Revolution’ was coined by Prof. William Gaud, the great Indian Agriculture Scientist, Prof. M. S. Swaminathan, proudly acknowledged as ‘Father of Indian Agriculture’ in his Presidential Address at the ‘Indian Science Congress’ drew attention towards the ‘adverse consequences’ of the excessive use & applications of ‘Agrochemicals’ in Farms and showed the world the pathway to ‘Ever-green Revolution’ for achieving higher productivity of ‘Nutritive Foods’ without damaging the farm soil & harming the farmers. This is a
system of Agriculture that involves the use & sustainable management of ‘natural resources’ of Earth (beneficial minerals & microbes from the green plants & soil animals, excreta of farm animals & minerals from oceans & rocks) for enrichment of ‘soil fertility’, ‘farm biodiversity’ and enhancement of ‘food productivity’ with their ‘nutritional quality’. The ‘International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement’ (IFOAM) has defined ‘Organic Agriculture’ as all Agricultural Systems that promote the ‘Environmentally’, ‘Economically’ and ‘Socially’ safe & sustainable production of ‘Foods & Fibers’. Hence, the only solution is promotion of ‘Organic Farming’ for which the World Farmers have to go back on the systems of ‘Traditional Agriculture’. But now more powerful ‘Organic Fertilizers’ can be produced by Vermicomposting of all human ‘Organic Wastes’ by the waste-eaters Earthworms whom the great visionary Scientist of World Sir Charles Darwin in the 18th Century called them as ‘Unheralded Soldiers of Mankind & the Friends of Farmers Working Day & Night Under the Soil’. Organic Farming promoted by Fertilization of Soil by ‘Earthworms & its Vermicompost (produced from the Organic Wastes - Food, Farm & Green Wastes) & Mineralization of Soil by ‘Sea & Rock Minerals’ will provide ‘High
Growth & Productivity of Food Crops’, ‘Resistant’ against ‘Pests & Diseases’, producing ‘Nutritive Foods’ with ‘High Quantity & Quality’ rich in ‘Proteins’, ‘Vitamins’ & ‘Minerals’ for ‘Good Health’ with ‘High Strength & Vitality’ in people.

Earthworms derive their name from ‘Earth’ meaning ‘Soil’. They occupy over 80% of the Invertebrates soil animals in the Terrestrial Ecosystem and are the largest members of Oligochaetor ‘Segmented Worms’. They play essential roles as ‘Waste Managers’ (managing both Solid Wastes & Wastewaters of Society by converting them into ‘Useful Resources’ for the Farmers), ‘Soil Managers’, ‘Soil Fertility Improvers’, and ‘Growth Promoters of Food Crops’ in our Global Ecosystem. The ancient Greek Philospher Sir Aristotle (384 – 322 BC) globally acknowledged as ‘Father of Biology’, described Earthworms as the ‘Intestines of the Earth’ for their ability to feed on the soil and enrich them with ‘humus’ which is high in ‘organic matters’ and ‘beneficial soil microbes’.Humic substances in the soil also help in the development of ‘roots’ in plants. The Ancient Indian Horticulture Scientist Sir Surpala way back in the 10th Century, wrote a book in Hindi ‘Vrikshayurveda’ (‘Science of Tree Growing’) where he mentioned to ‘Use Earthworms to get Good
Quality of Fruits of Pomogranate’ educating the world about the ‘Food Productivity’ values of Earthworms.

In 2004, the great Russian Vermiculture Scientist Sir Anatoly Igonin wrote that –‘No one and Nothing can be compared with the Earthworms. They are the Creators of the Soil. They are ‘Disinfecting’, ‘Neutralizing’, ‘Protective’ and ‘Productive’ Organisms on Earth’. The great Vermiculture Scientist of India Prof. Radha Kale has called Earthworms as ‘Nature’s Quiet and Biggest Gift to Civilization for Safe & Healthy Living’. Earthworms also changes the biochemical properties of the farm soils contaminated with ‘chemical pesticides’ or ‘heavy metals’ due to massive use of Agrochemicals. They overcome the human-triggered heavy metals and pesticides pollutions. They also have the ability to eliminate the ‘hydrocarbons’ and several ‘toxic chemicals’ from the soils. (Srut et al. 2019; Sanchez-Hernandez, 2019).

Earthworms can bio-degrade all ‘Organic Wastes’ (Municipal & Industrial) into Vermicompost (Nutritive Organic Fertilizer) for the Farmers. This they do by multiple actions - grinding them by ‘Muscular Action’ followed by breaking them by ‘Enzymatic Action’ and then by decomposing them by the ‘Decomposer Microbes’ which are proliferated by the Earthworms in the Composting System. The enzymes present in the Earthworm gut play a major role in Vermicomposting of Organic Wastes (Ravindran et al. 2016). Guts of Earthworms are storehouse of ‘Microbial Flora’. Given the optimum ‘temperature and moisture’ the Earthworms enhances ‘Bio-degradation’ and ‘Decomposition’ of Organic Wastes from 60 to 80%. Each Earthworm eats the ‘Waste Materials’ at least 8 times & leaves the end-products free of all Chemicals.

Vermicomposting of Organic Wastes by Earthworms has been a technology of ‘Sustainable Management’ of ‘Human Wastes’ while also reducing the emission of ‘GREENHOUSE GASES’ (GHGs) and significantly improving the levels ‘Soil Organic Carbons’ (SOC) in the farm soils by use of Vermicompost as Organic Fertilizers in farms. It will also lead to significant increase of ‘Soil Fertility & Crop
Productivity’. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2000) recognized that ‘Carbon (C) Sequestration’ in Soils by addition of ‘Composts’ as one of the possible measures through which the ‘Greenhouse Gas’ Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere inducing ‘GLOBAL WARMING & CLIMATE CHANGE’ can be reduced. According to the reports of ‘Climate Council of Australia’ Climate Change is also affecting the ‘Mental Health’ of Society all over world. They also recommended Vermicomposting of Wastes by Earthworms as one of the beneficial measures for managing ‘Human Wastes’ with significantly ‘Low Emission’ of GHGs. Hence, Earthworms & its Vermicompost can play a good role in the strategy of Greenhouse Gas reduction & Mitigation of ‘Global Warming & Climate Change’
which is inducing Natural Disasters & affectinmg the ‘Brain & Mental Health’ of Society all over world.

Earthworms can also Purify (Disinfect & Detoxify) the ‘Wastewaters’ (Municipal & Industrial) & make them ‘Nutritive’ (rich in NKP) to be used by the Farmers for Farm Irrigation helping them in fighting the ‘Water Crisis’ they are facing today due to the ‘Global Warming & Climate Change’ and the fast depleting ‘Groundwater Resources’ all over the world. Farm Irrigation by Vermifiltered ‘Clean & Nutritive Water’ by Earthworms will also give high ‘Food Productivity’ to the Farmers without the use of any Fertilizer & embellish their Agri-Business. In an Indian study on Rice crops the average seed count was 371 in single branch as compared to only 176 in Rice grown on normal water. Earthworms are also tolerant to many ‘Chemical Contaminants’ including ‘Heavy Metals’ and ‘Organic Pollutants’ in the Soil. They can ‘Bio-accumulate’ & ‘Bio-degrade’ or ‘Bio-transform’ the Chemicals in the chemically contaminated Soils. They can remove the ‘Heavy Metals’, ‘Pesticides’ & ‘Lipophilic Organic Micro-pollutants’ from the Soil in the Wastelands & Vermiremediate the Soil into ‘Clean’ & even ‘Fertile Soil’ (rich in beneficial minerals & microbes) to be used for farming by the farmers. Being ‘bisexual organisms’ Earthworms reproduce very fast. They produce upto 3 Cocoons every week & from every Cocoon about 10-12 tiny Worms emerge. Huge ‘Earthworms Biomass’ are generated during all the Vermiculture processes (Vermicomposting, Vermifiltration & Vermiremediation Systems) which are very useful for the Farmers & Society both Socially, Economically & Environmentally.

Humans have also used the Earthworms as ‘Foods’ & ‘Medicines’ since time immemorial. They are organisms of ‘High Nutritional’ value containing complete ‘Proteins’, ‘Peptides’, essential ‘Amino Acids’, ‘Carbohydrates’, essential ‘Long-Chain Fatty Acids’ and wide range of ‘Trace Elements’, ‘Enzymes,’ ‘Vitamins’ & ‘Antioxidants’. They are also considered as an ideal animal for obtaining ‘High Protein’ feed materials for Cattles, Poultry & Fishes. They are rich in Protein (64-72 % by dry weight) with 70-80 % high quality essential amino acids ‘Lysine’ & ‘Methionine’ which are ‘low amino acids’ in most ‘Human Foods & Cattle Feeds’. Proteins are very important for ‘Growth’, ‘Good Health’ and ‘Development’ of Human Body. It also increases the ‘Body Resistance’ against diseases and reduces the incidences of many diseases. Earthworms have ‘Innate Defense Mechanisms’ & ‘Strong Immune System’ protected from Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa, Virus & Parasites etc. They have been used in the ‘Traditional Medicine’ for thousands of years in India (as Ayurvedic Medicine) and in many parts of the World for the treatment of many human diseases such as ‘Inflammation of Body Parts’,‘Abdominal Pains’, ‘Rheumatism’, ‘Arthritis’, ‘Mumps’ and ‘Measles’. ‘Folk Medicine’ also used them in the treatment of ‘Cancer’, ‘Ulcers’, ‘Diarrhea’, ‘Fever’, ‘Dysentery’, ‘Hypertension’, ‘Smallpox’, ‘Dental Problems’, ‘Headache’, ‘Fever’, ‘Asthma’, ‘Chronic Cough’, ‘Jaundice’ & ‘Wound Healing’. They are also finding new uses in ‘Modern Medicine’ in the treatment of ‘Heart Diseases’ and several types of ‘Cancers’ and in the production of ‘Antibiotics’ from the ‘Anti-pathogenic’ Ceolomic fluid. No wonder why the great Indian Scientist Prof. Sultan Ismail gave the Earthworms the status of a ‘Doctor’ protecting the ‘Health’ of people on Earth.

Nutritional & Medicinal properties of Earthworms will make them excellent sources of ‘Dietary Supplements’ for human beings and will help the Farmers & also the Organizations promoting Vermiculture to produce ‘Earthworms Biomass’ & expand the market of ‘Vermi-Meals’ & ‘Vermi-Medicines’ in world embellishing their Agri-Business. In 1929, Sir Robert McCarrison in British India had observed that the people in the ‘Himalayan Mountain Valley’ growing Foods by irrigating with water flowing from the Mountain Rocks always lived ‘Healthy’ with ‘High Strength’ and ‘Longevity’. People of Hunza valley in the Himalayan region ‘never get sick’. They ‘live long’ with ‘high strength & vitality’. They irrigate their Farm Soil by Water from the Glacier containing ‘Rock Minerals’. He suggested the Farmers all over world to use ‘Rock Minerals’ in Farm Soils to grow ‘Nutritive’ & ‘Health Protective’ Foods. U.S. Medical Scientist Dr. Maynard Murray (1900-1982) found that in the Sea Animals diseases like ‘Arthritis’, ‘Arteriosclerosis’ and even ‘Cancer’ & ‘Aging’ never existed on a cellular level. They were all living healthy with the intake of ‘Feed Materials’ from the Sea. He educated the Farmers about ‘Mineralising the Farm Soils’ with ‘Sea Minerals’ to produce ‘Health Protective Nutritive Foods’ to give ‘High Strength & Vitality’ to people after he observed the Sea Animals living virtually ‘Disease-Free’. Most Crops require an average of 40 mineral elements from the soil for healthy growth. Both Sea Water & Rocks have about 90-100 mineral elements. Chemical Fertilizers only give 6 mineral elements.

Earthworms Vermicompost also contains 13 ‘essential minerals’ with beneficial ‘soil microbes’ which help plants to absorb the ‘Minerals’ by their roots. The ‘Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria’ & ‘Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria’ in the soil help the plants to absorb & bio-accumulate Nitrogen (N) & Phosphorus (P) by changing them in their ‘bio-available’ forms necessary for absorption by roots. ‘Soil Minerals’ are also necessary for the function of ‘Soil Microbes’. In studies in USA, Australia & India, Sea Minerals produced 29 Kg of Wheat compared to 20 Kg by Chemical Fertilizer. Proteins in the Grains increased to 9 %. Vermicompost increased growth & yield by over 35 % and lifted Proteins by 12 %. In the Corn, Phosphorous increased by 57%, Potassium by 90 %, Calcium by 47 % & Magnesium by 60 %. In 2010, Dr. Hugh McLaughlin in an ‘International Conference’ in Birmingham (U.K.) also recommended to add Charcoal (named as Biochar) in the Farm Soil to restore its ‘Natural Fertility’. It is produced from all kinds of ‘Biomass’ - Wood, Manure, Leaves, Straw, Cornstalks, Rice Hulls or any burnable Organic Wastes. Once added in the Soil, it can stay there for Centuries maintaining the Soil Fertility & giving good Crop Productivity. It is just one-time investment for Farmers. It also increases the ‘Water Holding’ & ‘Mineral Retention’ capacity of the Soils. It also promotes the activities of ‘Earthworms’ in Soil, help in the proliferation of ‘Beneficial Soil Microbes’ & increases ‘Nitrogen Fixation’. Biochar in soils also works to store ‘Carbon’ in the soil reducing the emissions ‘Carbon Dioxide’ which works as ‘Greenhouse Gas’ inducing Global Warming & Climate Change.

Today, all over world people are taking ‘Nutritional Supplements’ especially Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), Potassium (K), Selenium (Se), Iron (Fe), Vitamins C & D etc. to maintain Good Health with ‘High Strength’ & ‘Vitality’. Only ‘Organic Farming’ by Fertilization of Soil by the ‘Earthworms’ & its ‘Vermicompost’ & Mineralization by ‘Sea & Rock Minerals’ can save & sustain the Civilization in good health on Earth. It will also reduce ‘Soil Degradation’, maintain high ‘Minerals’ & ‘Microbes’ in Soil & enrich the Foods with ‘Health Protective Nutritive Elements’. Value of ‘Organic Foods’ is now growing all over World. It significantly enhanced the Agri-Business of Farmers in U.S. which surpassed $13.8 billion in 2005.

A Critical Study of Non- Performing Assets of District Central Cooperative Banks in Haryana and Banking Laws

2023-08-17T07:25:33+00:00

The book entitled “A Critical Study of Non- Performing Assets of District Central Cooperative banks in Haryana and Banking Laws is divided into seven chapters. Banks play an important role in the economic development of a country. As an important sector of the economy, banks act as the backbone of economic development. Banking means the accepting, lending, or investing, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheque, draft, or otherwise. In India, banks are playing a crucial role in the socioeconomic progress of the country after independence. The efficiency of the banking system thus determines the pace of development of the economy.

The main functions of cooperative banks are to provide financial assistance to the lower section of society. Indian Cooperative Societies Act was passed in 1904. Cooperative Societies Act, 1904 was passed on the proposal of Sir Frederick Nicholson (1899) and Sir Edward Law (1901). The object of this act was to set up cooperative credit societies “to encourage thrift, self-help, and cooperation among agriculturists, artisans, and persons of limited means.” The Indian Cooperative Banking system has been facing a very serious problem for a very long period because of non-performing assets. Non- performing assets are those assets that stop generating income for the banks. I have mainly focused in this book is to reduce the level of NPAs by ascertaining the root cause and evaluating the weaknesses and inadequacies in the present mechanism and examines the impact of non-performing assets on the financial performance of district central cooperative banks in Haryana. This book carries The study the concept of NPAs, the major causes for an account to become non-performing, and critically examines the legal provisions to protect banks and recovery from NPAs.

Here in this work in Chapter 1, discussed the introduction, evolution, history, and structure of the Indian banking system. Further, the chapter also explains a brief introduction to nonperforming assets and recovery of debts through legal mechanisms. In Chapter 2 discussed the work already done on the given topic and where the previous researcher lacked in their studies. Chapter 3 includes the introduction of the Indian Cooperative banking system and the structure of Cooperative banking in India. Then the objectives and functions of District Central Cooperative banks are described in detail. In Chapter 4 we have discussed the research methodology and it provides the objectives and hypotheses of the study. It also includes the method of data collection. Chapter 5 related to the impact of NPAs on the financial performance of DCCBs in Haryana. The primary object of the study is to find out the issues of NPAs in DCCBs in Haryana and the impact of NPAs on the financial performance of DCCBs in Haryana. For this purpose, secondary data has been collected among these banks. The secondary data examined the impact of NPA on the financial performance of DCCBs in Haryana whereas in Chapter 6 we have discussed the legal issues for recovery of NPAs. In the last Chapter 7 is related to the conclusion and suggestions.

The book carries all original citations from the publications, in certain cases the views of the experts and researcher are also given and researcher are also given and official websites have been referred. Although I have given sufficient credits to referred authors, but if anyhow it has been missed that is deeply regretted. I will be highly obliged if any error /omission/mistake has been noticed and brought forward by any reader.

Millets Magical Crops

2023-07-01T06:17:10+00:00

The first edition of Millets Magical Crops, strengthened focus on its title, this begins with Millets or nutri-cereals basic concept that were domesticated and cultivated as early as 10,000 years ago. The millets cultivation is taken up usually in degraded and marginal lands that receive very less rainfall and are poor in soil nutrient content. Seven important millets cultivated globally are finger millet, pearl millet, foxtail millet, barnyard millet, proso millet, kodo millet, and little millet. Overdependence on cereals after the green revolution and the present-day sedentary lifestyle of people has proliferated health-related disorders like obesity, diabetes, coronary diseases, gastrointestinal disorders and risk of colon, breast, and oesophageal cancer.

The only way to fight back is through the introduction of nutritionally rich millets in our daily diets. Millets are unique for their richness in dietary fibers, antioxidants, minerals, phytochemicals, polyphenols, and proteins; that act as elixir to fight against health-related disorders. There are many nutrition based textbooks within the market. A number of them are purely basic while others are applied, and there are only a few books which cover both these aspects together. For this reason, the scholars learning nutrition in their undergraduate courses should rely upon multiple books to accumulate a sound knowledge of the topic.

This book is exclusive with a simultaneous and equal emphasis on basic and applied aspects of millets nutrition. This textbook is comprehensively written to satisfy the curriculum requirements of undergraduate courses in home science, medical, dental, pharmacy, life-sciences and other categories (agriculture, veterinary, etc.) where students learn nutrition together of the topics or main subjects. This book gives a brand new orientation to the topic of nutrition so the scholars appreciate the nice importance and significance of the appliance of nutrition to all or any the fields.

This textbook could be a distillation of our knowledge and teaching experience in millets nutrition. It contains pre-digested information on food and nutrition permanently understanding, assimilation and reproducibility. Each page is crafted with a fine eye. The final purpose of this book is to equip the reader with comprehensive knowledge in millets nutrition. Although we've made every effort to form this book error free, we are under no illusion. We welcome comments, criticism and suggestions from the college, students and other readers and community workers and this can help us to form improvements within the next edition.

Emerging Trends in Human Resource Management

2023-07-15T09:35:45+00:00

Human Resource is of paramount importance for the success of any organisation. It is a source of strength and aid. In the present complex milieu, organisations are greatly influenced by changes taking place in internal as well as external environment, no business or organisation can change or exist or grow without appropriate human resources. Therefore human resource has become the focus of attention of every progressive organisation. In the changing world, the philosophy and perspective of HRM needs to transform and redesign. This paper attempts to spotlight the latest trends in HRM for the present century like employee engagement, Growth of gen Y employees, Work life integration etc.

Developing Human Resource is called Human Resource Development. Human Resource Management is a philosophy, while Human Resource Development includes the activities and processes undertaken to promote the intellectual, moral, psychological, cultural, social and economic development of the individuals in an organization, in order to help them to achieve higher human potential as a resource for the community. It is a continuous process by which the employees are assisted in a planned way to develop capabilities. HRM has the responsibility to maximize efficiency and profit, but in the emerging scenario, the role of HR manager is changing rapidly due to changes in government policies, unions, labour legislations and technology. The trends have taken place in the organization, human resource planning, job design, and motivation, recruitment, and skill development and employee relations. The challenges can be faced by HRM effectively, if proper strategies are implemented. Hence, the role of HRM will be more significant in future due to the emerging scenario. This paper is an attempt to explain the emerging trends in HRM.

Climate Smart Agriculture: Principles and Practices

2023-07-12T08:16:06+00:00

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach to developing the technical, policy and investment conditions to achieve sustainable agricultural development for food security under climate change. multiple cropping systems using crop rotations or intercropping, growing of nitrate catch crops, growing of deep rooting crops following harvest of short duration and shallow rooting crops like vegetables,. winter wheat with deep rooting nature, high n demand and high n harvest index, crop livestock integration system, climate hardy crops such as pigeon pea, chickpea,inetnsive integrated farming systems, relay mixed cropping and lots of more systems have been time tested to be climate smart practices. Adoption of such cropping system strategy could substantially reduce offset the ill effects of climate vagaries.

Pulse crops are also popular for their suitability in different cropping systems, owing to their short–life cycle. Development of large number of high yielding cultivars of crops with varying maturity duration and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, have made it possible to include them in irrigated crop sequence as well. Legume–based cropping systems can transform the rural livelihoods by overcoming the production constraints largely experienced over the decades due to cereal–based production systems and bring farmers I the league of defending boldily any vagaries of the nature.. Several conferences deliberated on such issues and number of lead papers were submitted in some of the conferences such as PRAGATI,ICFA,DISHA,ARISE,RAINFED etc. conducted during 2015 to 2018. The idea to bring out the entire edited chapters in the form a book was long felt and stressed upon by the eminent speakers and contributors.

Towards Sustainable Growth in India: Connecting the Missing Dots

2023-06-05T10:16:46+00:00

The XITE College makes every effort to create an environment in which both teachers and students can devote significant attention to the need and importance of critical analysis and investigation. The current book, in my opinion, is the consequence of such an activity. First and foremost, I thank the contributors of the book for studying the subject with a razor-sharp keen intellect. In the same vein, I'd like to thank the college's research cell, led by Dr. (Fr.) Mukti and Dr. Sanchita Ghosh for taking a keen interest in this project and carrying it out with audacity. I must acknowledge that the title of this book, "Towards Sustainable Growth in India: Connecting the Missing Dots," is well chosen.

A topic of this sort must be examined and investigated because of its importance. As far as I can tell, sustainability is a prevalent topic these days. As a result, its definition, measurement, implication, and application become universal. If India is to achieve sustainable growth, the current research problem must be addressed: what is a success, are we losing sight of sustainability, is sustainability a just cliche?

Meeting our own needs without risking future generations' ability to satisfy their own is what sustainability means. The United
Nations declared 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030 (eradication of poverty and hunger; provision of quality
education, wellbeing, gender equality, clean water, clean energy, economic growth, climate action, and peace). As a result, the
chapters in this book address two key areas: understanding the concept and its implications. Rapid technological progress, more
corporate enterprise, population growth, increased governmental engagement in business, and increased social consciousness make development work critical. These elements influence how people think about sustainability and its implications.

I am sure the contributors of the book worked hard to put their reflections together to educate young minds about the fundamental concepts and principles of sustainability. Thus, this book will become a good friend to you and help you comprehend the complex concept of sustainability, allow you to analyze any project through the desired lens, and raise our society's esteem and morale to new heights.

An Introduction to Comparative Biology with Special Reference to Medicago SPP

2023-06-07T04:44:38+00:00

The environment is a complex whole of so many interacting factors. These factors influence every plant and animal species. It is the that genotype determines the range of phenotypic expression. The phenotypic expression of a specific genotype may have some variabilities with regard to different sets of environmental complexes. These phenotypes are objects of immediate concern to taxonomists because of taxa are shaped along the lines of discontinuity of phenotypic characters. Therefore, it becomes worthwhile to examine the nature of adaptation in the light of the physiological effect of the environmental factors. In recent years’ attention has been paid to visualize the interrelationships of plant and environment in order to understand their comparative performance which is of great survival value of a species. In such comparative studies, adaptations which enable the species to cope with the environmental fluctuations are looked into.

Though such adaptations are genetically determined, their ontogenetic manifestations are influenced by the factors of environment, the magnitude of which determines the ecological amplitude of a species. The fitness of a genotype is directly related to the contribution of its phenotype made to the gene pool of its future generation while interacting with environmental factors. Once it is realized that the success of gene transmission depends upon the interactions between phenotype and its environment then it becomes important to know that why certain phenotypes are better than others in a given environmental condition. This way comparative biologists consider the fitness of a species and is referred to as an adaptational approach. The technique of comparative culture was first introduced by De Candolle and his contemporaries in the nineteenth century.

Cost Accounting

2023-05-29T08:04:59+00:00

The world has shrunk to the size of a village, and globalisation has become the norm. Cost accounting has risen to prominence in the age of globalisation, thanks to the support of accounting experts. On the other hand, competition among business houses has become extremely fierce, and price reduction has become a critical weapon in the hands of producers and marketers. In today's business world, businesses operate in a highly competitive environment fraught with risk and uncertainty.

As a result, they must operate more efficiently and effectively, allowing them to offer their products at a lower price. To gain a competitive advantage in the industry, business organisations must implement three strategic dimensions, one of which is "cost leadership" (other dimensions are product differentiation and focus or niche). Cost leadership entails producing goods or providing services at the lowest possible cost while maintaining quality in order to have a more competitive price. As a result, it is critical for business organisations to have a solid costing system. Information is the most important resource for making business decisions.

This Cost Accounting book provides a comprehensive cost and revenue evaluation report to management for appropriate decision making for students and scholars, as well as the UGC Unified Syllabus for B.Com. Despite the development of new accounting devices, improved techniques, and elaborative subsidiary records, financial accounting is limited in terms of meeting the information needs of various stakeholders; these limitations of financial accounting led to the development of cost accounting.

The chapters listed below are included:

1. Nature and Scope of Cost accounting
2. Cost
3. Material Control
4. Methods of valuing Material Issues
5. Labour Cost
6. Remuneration and Incentives
7. Overhead
8. Job, Batch & Contract Costing
9. Process Costing

The most popular text for university courses on this topic is called Medicinal Chemistry. It is well known for being a textbook that both students and lecturers adore because it provides thorough coverage in an approachable and interesting manner. The introduction of the structure and function of significant drug targets follows a discussion of the fundamental biochemistry upon which an understanding of medicinal chemistry is built. The effects of those reactions on the body and how drugs interact with it are then discussed. There is a section on general concepts and methods used in the research and development of new drugs, as well as one on practical "tools of the trade." The text concludes with a modern examination of particular areas of medicinal chemistry, such as antiviral, anticancer, cholinergic, and anticholinesterase agents, as well as antiulcer agents.

This book is intended for chemistry majors and minors who have a solid foundation and are pursuing a module or degree in medicinal chemistry. It makes an effort to explain drug design and the molecular mechanisms by which drugs act in the body in a readable and engaging manner. By doing this, it draws attention to the significance of medicinal chemistry in everyday life as well as the appeal of a career in a field that combines the study of chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, cell biology, and pharmacology. As a result, the book will especially interest students who are thinking about a future in the pharmaceutical industry.

The book Introduction to Bioinorganic chemistry is written according to the latest curriculum of chemistry masters students. This text covers material that could be a part of third semester course in bioinorganic chemistry for students and advanced undergraduate students in chemistry or biochemistry. Authors believe that such a course should provide students with the background required to follow the research literature in the field. The topics were collected to represent those areas of bioinorganic chemistry that are mature enough for textbook presentation.

The book is categorized into small chapters to make it convenient for students and instructors as well. The concepts are explained using proper figures and tables to make it easier to understand. What we have attempted to do in each chapter is to cover the underlying principles of bioinorganic chemistry as well as outlining the state of knowledge in selected topics. We have chosen not to include abbreviated summaries of the inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and spectroscopy that students may need as background in order to master the material presented. We assume that the reader of this book will assign reading from relevant sources that are appropriate to the prior knowledge of the students taking the course.

Intellectual Property Rights: Pharma Prospective

2023-05-24T06:51:07+00:00

Regarding market share and its contribution to our nation's Gross Domestic Product, the Indian pharmaceutical industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades. The domestic pharmaceutical market in India is anticipated to reach USD 41 billion in 2021, USD 65 billion by 2024, and USD 120–130 billion by 2030. Given the bright future of the pharmaceutical sector, the Indian government is actively working to promote this sector by introducing and enforcing regulations that are on par with international standards.

The need for companies to protect their intellectual property rights grows as a result of market expansion and investment from key industry players. The scope and application of Indian law's protection of pharmaceutical trademarks and patents are discussed in this book.

Intellectual Property Rights: Pharma Prospectiveare thought to be concepts, innovations, and artistic creations upon which the public is willing to bestow the status of property.In order for the inventors or creators of that property to profit commercially from their creative endeavours or reputation, IPR grant them specific exclusive rights. There are various forms of intellectual property protection, including trademark, copyright, and patent. An invention that satisfies the requirements of universal novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial application is given a patent. IPR is a requirement for better invention or creative work identification, planning, commercialization, and protection.Depending on its area of specialisation, each industry should develop its own IPR policies, management style, strategies, and so forth. The IPR strategy used by the pharmaceutical industry is currently changing, and a better focus and strategy will be needed in the future.

Applications of Blockchain Technology

2023-07-25T07:42:48+00:00

This book, Applications of Blockchain Technology, discusses how blockchain technology is transforming the future of money, transactions, government, and business. The world is changing quickly these days, and a transition flow can be seen in Business Process Management (BPM). Traditional Business Process Management has been in place for one to two decades, but internal workflow is limited to a single organisation. They do not manage information and the workflow process across organisations. If they do, they will fall into the same trap as control is transferred to a third party, which is a centralised server, resulting in data tampering and a single point of failure. This book addresses these issues by highlighting a number of unique problems and effective solutions that reflect the state-of-the-art in blockchain technology.

This book investigates new experiments and yields promising solutions to blockchain technology's current challenges. The edited book's goal is to present a detailed examination of the adaptation and implementation of blockchain technologies in real-world business applications.

Impact of Climate Change and Its Importance on Human Performance

2023-05-16T07:45:26+00:00

Thermal comfort is that condition, which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment. Alternatively, the zone of thermal comfort is the span of conditions where80% of sedentary or slightly active persons find the environment thermally acceptable. Whereas high temperatures and humidity provide discomfort sensations and sometimes heat stress. Therefore, the evaluation of the thermal sensation is often a crucial matter for outdoor working environments. Thermal sensation depends on the subject-environment heat transfer which is strictly related to subjective variables (metabolic rate and clothing thermo-physical properties) and four environmental variables (air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity and relative humidity), according to the energy balance equation. Since long, the temperaturehumidity index (THI), and the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) were used for evaluating heat stress levels; and the predictive mean vote (PMV) was used for evaluating human thermal comfort.

The physiological effective temperature (PET) and the universal thermal climatic index (UTCI) were used for evaluating thermal comfort and heat stress as well; both being in the temperature scale. PET, a thermal index that gives an estimation of the thermal sensation, the corresponding heat stress level and the standard effective temperature (SET) index describes the relationship between thermal sensation and discomfort. Earlier studies reported that, increase in local ambient temperature during hot and humid seasons in the world could create unhealthy environments for people who are not able to protect themselves; both general living environments and working environments are affected. The risks of excessive heat exposure are greater in tropical developing countries where large work forces perform manual and heavy tasks for long periods under very hot and humid conditions with minimal access to cooling intervention; India, being a tropical country is no exception to it. Moreover, the agricultural work is most commonly seasonal, and during summer harvest, workers often spend long hours under hot and humid condition, performing arduous physical labour. Moreover, adverse thermal environment at work is further being aggravated by the phenomenon of global warming which is affecting all walks of our life, including living and working environments, and in the process creating health threats for millions of people worldwide. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of the air near the Earth´s surface has risen by a little less than 1°C and it is estimated to go up further by 1.8 to 4.0 °C (estimated average 3.0°C) by 2100 AD depending on actions to limit GHG emissions. The human resources who are exposed to excessive heat in course of their livelihood earning, especially in low and middle income tropical countries, are at highest risk in respect of their health and wellbeing.

India being a tropical country is no exception to it. The impact of rise in ambient temperature is not confined to agricultural output; it has an impact on the work performance of human being associated with occupational activities in informal sector especially those carried out in the open under the sky particularly agriculture. Hence rise in ambient temperature, a major determinant of thermal aspect of working environment, may have some impact on the health status of the individuals working in the open – air non mechanized agricultural field daily for a considerable period of time. India is characterized by strong temperature variations in different seasons ranging from mean temperature of about 10°C in winter to about 40°C in summer season. The temperatures start to increase all over the country in March and by April central Indian land mass becomes hot with daytime maximum temperatures reaching about 40°C at many locations. And there are reports that physical work capacity and work-performance are getting affected due to adverse thermal conditions prevailing in the working environment in different occupations including agriculture.

Millets: The Ancient Grain for the Future

2023-05-11T09:41:08+00:00

Climate change and biodiversity loss will push us to revolutionise and transform our existing food systems to feed the global population and provide sustainable nutrition. Alternative crops such as millet present a viable option to diversify our diet and contribute to food security. Over the years, millets have enjoyed the tag of “poor man’s food grain” because of their sheer affordability. Millets have been classified into two groups on the basis of their grain size major millets and minor millets. Major classification includes sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), foxtail (Setaria italica), proso (Panicum milliaceum), and finger (Elusine coracana) millets whereas the minor ones being the kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum), little millet (Panicum sumatrense), barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) millets that belong to the family Poaceae and kingdom Plantae. This year is declared as International year of Millets and theme for the International Year of Millets 2023 (IYM) is Harnessing the untapped potential of millets for food security, nutrition, and sustainable agriculture”. The theme reflects the goals of the initiative to raise awareness about the nutritional, ecological, and cultural value of millets, promote sustainable farming practices, and encourage their consumption as a healthy and sustainable alternative to other grains. The theme also highlights the potential of millets to contribute to food security and nutrition, particularly in regions where they are culturally relevant and deeply rooted in Indigenous Peoples’ culture and traditions. Thus to know the history and domestication millets is very important for study. Plant domestication is associated with major morphological modifications to fit human needs. The theme emphasizes the need to harness the untapped potential of millets to achieve sustainable agriculture, empower smallholder farmers, promote biodiversity, and transform agrifood systems.

Basic Inorganic Chemistry

2023-05-11T12:19:42+00:00

Basic The study of the synthesis, reactions, structures, and properties of elemental compounds is known as inorganic chemistry. Inorganic chemistry includes everything else in the periodic table's compounds, both molecular and extended solids, and overlaps with organic chemistry in the area of organometallic chemistry, in which metals are bonded to carbon-containing ligands and molecules. Many practical technologies rely on inorganic chemistry, such as catalysis and materials (structural, electronic, magnetic, and so on), energy conversion and storage, and electronics. Inorganic compounds can also be found in biological systems, where they play an important role in life processes.

The book's goal is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of inorganic chemistry and show where they come from. It begins with chemical observations and grows ideas from them. It supplements texts that begin with quantum theory of atoms and molecules and progress to a more physical approach. This edited book of Basic Inorganic Chemistry begins with a focus on
facts and then builds on the student's growing factual knowledge to discuss the important principles of periodicity in structure, bonding, and reactivity. This book includes separate chapters on the following subjects:

1. Covalent Bonding
2. Classification of Elements Periodicity in Properties
3. Coordinate Bonding
4. Redox Chemistry
5. Application and Research Areas of Coordination Compounds in
Inorganic Chemistry

7. Acids and Bases
8. Revisiting the Fundamentals of Acid-Base Chemistry

An Introduction to Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems

2023-06-01T10:02:12+00:00

Fuzzy logic (FL) is a mathematical technique for dealing with imprecise data and problems that have many solutions rather than one. Although it is implemented in digital computers which ultimately make only yesno decisions, FL works with ranges of values, solving problems in a way that more resembles human logic. FL is a multi-valued (as opposed to binary) logic developed to deal with imprecise or vague data. Classical logic holds that everything can be expressed in binary terms: 0 and 1, black and white, yes or no; in terms of Boolean algebra, everything is in one set or another but not in both. FL allows for partial membership in asset values between 0 and 1, shades of gray, and introduces the concept of the “fuzzy set.” When the approximate reasoning of FL (Zadeh, 1965) is used with an expert system, logical inferences can be drawn from imprecise relationships. FL theory was developed by Lofti A. Zadeh at the University of California in the mid 1960s. However, it was not applied commercially until 1987 when the Matsushita Industrial Electric Co. used it to automatically optimize the wash cycle of a washing machine by sensing the load size, fabric mix, and quantity of detergent and has applications in the control of passenger elevators, household applications, and so forth.

Women in the 21st Century Indian Women Novels

2023-04-29T04:01:12+00:00

Literature serves as a window into the outside world and the culture we live in. Authors, through different literary genres, make an effort to define human existence by depicting a variety of characters, situations, and incidents. Among all literary genres, the novel is mostly preferred by contemporary authors, particularly women novelists. It is because the novel is found the most convenient genre to present things. Nowadays, the number of woman novelists increases.

Themes in current Indian women’s fiction and other works of Indian English literature evolve with time and national growth. In contrast to more general topics like nationalism, patriotism, politics, etc., the subjects of the post-independent Indian women authors concentrate on the problems of specific people and the everyday occurrences and episodes of middle-class people, particularly women. They maintain people, particularly women, in the center of their subjects who convey their thoughts and feelings.

Women’s issues, such as gender issues, female exploitation, and oppression, the idea of being ‘other’ in a patriarchal society, the theme of transitioning from childhood to womanhood, liberation through self-discovery, sexual autonomy, human relationships, realism, magic realism, fantasy, the idea of ‘new-women’, Indian culture, urbanization, Indianness, migration, East-West encounter, are frequently the focus of Indian English fiction written by women writers. These writers, in addition to focusing on themes relating to women and society, also presented an entirely different point of view on life and confidently established their abilities on the global literary stage.

With the writing of many famous Indian women writers who depicted women's sufferings, discrimination in society, and pain in family life, twentieth-century writing ushered in a new era. Identity crises, feeling alone, and women rebelling against patriarchal culture are some of the most common themes in contemporary Indian literature. Many writers, Shashi Deshpande, Jhumpa Lahiri, Anita Desai, Smriti Singh, Nomita Gogkhle, Manju Kapur, and Kavery Nambisan are a few to list, have shown both unhappy and rebellious women in their novels. In these novelists’ works, they present the reproductive rights of women, protection from domestic violence, workplace violence, and public place violence, as well as economic rights such as equal pay, equality, pensions, and poverty, as well as political, social, and religious rights.

This book’s goal is to examine the changes in women’s mindset, family life, social life, and issues from a woman's perspective; to determine what kinds of improvements the new Indian woman wants and needs, and to understand how they want to see themselves in this modern world. I believe that it is vital to comprehend the pressing challenges affecting women that need to be dealt with in a constructive manner. That is essential for both the survival of society and the harmony of human life.

The editor hopes that this edited book, “Women in the 21st Century Indian Women Novels” will serve that purpose as it contains a variety of chapters about various issues of modern women. This book contains the following chapters:

1. Women Empowerment in the Context of Covid 19
2. Identity Crisis in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake
3. Re-Imagining Existing Binary Composition of Queer Identity in contrast to the Homophobic Domain of the Indian Society
4. Ashwini, a victim of tradition-bound society
5. Queerness in “A Romantically Involved Woman” By Manju Kapur
6. Quest for Identity
7. Women Empowerment in India: A Study Defining Women of India
8. A Psycho- Musical Therapeutic Study of Changing Pattern of Attitude of Jail Criminal at Agra

I thank the professors, academicians, and scholars who have contributed their chapters without which, this book would not be in existence. My sincere thanks are due to Kripa-Drishti Publications, Pune, India who gave me this wonderful
opportunity to edit this book.

Ideology of Buddhism and Administration of Mauryas

2023-05-26T11:28:50+00:00

The post-vedic Brahmanic literature falls into several sections and reflects some social and political development, but, as a whole, it is characterized by the same tone and temper. In the sphere of governmental theory, the Epics, the political and legal treatises, the Puranas and general literature start from the same fundamental assumptions. But from the fifth century B.C. onwards, Brahmanism had to contend with two vigorous Protestant movements - Buddhism and Jainism. They experienced many vicissitudes of fortune until one of them disappeared from India and the other sand into a small sect, but they produced a vast literature and gave rise to many social theories.

It is the Asokan Edicts of the third century B.C. which in the light of the latest researchers, have claim to be examined before any literary works for Buddhist ideas on government. The 'beloved of the gods' appears as the moral teacher and spiritual guide of his subjects. The state over which he presides is a missionary state exerting its utmost resources in the propagation of Buddhism and piety and morality in general.

The third Rock Edict, for instance, requires administrative officers of proceed on circuit every five years as well as for their other business, as for this special purpose, namely, to give instructions in the law of piety. Censors were appointed to watch over the Law and the operation of justice. 1 Asoka enunciates the paternal character of his government in so many words. In the Borderer's Edict of the Kalinga group, he wants his officers to make the people realize that:

"The king is to us even as a father he loves us even as he loves himself; we are to the king even as his children.

Management Methods of Insect – Pest

2023-04-06T09:19:25+00:00

Insect pests cause substantial losses to food and fiber crops worldwide. Additionally, they vector human and domestic animal diseases. The dependence on pesticides as a sole method of control has resulted in the development of insect resistance and negative effects on human health, natural enemies, and the environment. The concept of integrated pest management (IPM) originated almost 60 years ago in response to these negative impacts of pesticides. Currently, IPM is a robust paradigm of pest control around the globe. This chapter reviews the history of IPM, its main principles, decision-making rules, the components, and main tactical methods used. Innovative tactical methods such as sterile insect technique (SIT), incompatible insect technique (IIT), and push-pull strategy are discussed. Moreover, challenges of implementation and future prospects of IPM are highlighted.

Contributed papers by experts in the field detail how to put integrated pest management to work. Presents the philosophy and practice, ecological and economic background as well as strategies and techniques including not only the use of chemical pesticides but also biological, genetic and cultural methods to manage the harm done by insect pests. Covers such key crops as cotton, corn, apples and forage. This edition reports important advances of the last decade including an increased environmental and ecological awareness and a trend toward lower chemical pesticide use.

An integrated survey of the biological background, principles, and methods of insect pest management, presenting representative papers by leaders in the field. Stresses insect problems in agriculture, providing examples of developing programs and techniques in the modeling, analysis, and use of insect pest management. Topics covered include plant resistance, parasitoids, and the function of diseases and insecticides in pest management. Provides extensive references and numerous practical examples of pest management usage.

Pest Management Strategies in Pulses and Cereal Crops

2023-04-08T07:29:00+00:00

Introduction of high yielding varieties, expansion in irrigation facilities and indiscriminate use of increased rates of agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides in recent years with a view to increase productivity has resulted in heavy crop losses due to insect pests in certain crops. This situation has risen mainly due to elimination of natural enemies, resurgence of pests, development of insecticide resistance and out-break of secondary pests. With a view to provide the farmers the best planting material available in the world for maximizing productivity per unit area and to encourage the seed industry. Environmental factors are also directly associated with the production, therefore several researchers in the past had made efforts to develop statistical models based on time series data on crop-yield and weather variables for the pre-harvest grain yield forecast. Work-related to survey and surveillance of insect pests and disease across the country should be regularly conducted for getting proper information on changing trends of insect pests and associated losses in different crops including cereals and pulses. To manage the insect pests, it is essential that experts have a thorough knowledge of insectpathogen behavior, life cycle, ioecology, phenology, economic injury level and other factors of insect pests. Management strategies include cultural, mechanical and biological methods that minimize the pest incidence naturally. Insecticides should apply in harmonious, judicious, timely and selective or broad manner. Hence, manage the insect pest and disease by integrating all available techniques which can reduce the pest infestation and cost of cultivation.

The intricacy of the interaction between a pest and its host, influenced by biotic and abiotic factors of the environment, make the control of these disease and insect pest. Both the pest and diseases accounts for decrease in grain density, germination percent, affected seed viability or weight resulting in overall reduction in crop quality and quantity. Therefore, the management practices are still challenging with different aspects. The combination of pest management and safety measure during post-harvest storage will be led towards the better sustainability of these crops. Control measures and management practices consists of use of synthetic pesticides, cultural methods and other mechanical methods. Host plant resistance studies and the biological control are gaining much attention in recent years either to control the diseases or to produce a resistance variety along with new crop cultivation technologies.

Concept of Microwave Plasma Interaction with Reference to Different Field Conditions

2023-05-24T11:01:17+00:00

The study of electromagnetic wave propagation through conductors and semiconductor plasma is steadily increasing. It has a great diagnostic value and in the optical wavelength the wave interaction with the semiconductor plasma provides spectroscopes information. It is well known now that the solid state materials normally have a dense cloud of free electrons and the properties of this electron gas or electron ensemble or electron plasma are analogous to gaseous plasma with some characteristic differences. The electromagnetic wave propagation features in the solid state plasma and gaseous plasma also have close similarities. The electromagnetic wave propagating through good conductors interact strongly with the electron plasma and are excessively attenuated.

Therefore, good conductors are generally referred to as dissipative or lossy materials. The sold state plasma supports many wave modes and these wave modes are known as excision. While discussing electromagnetic wave propagation through conductors, semiconductor and insulators one needs to develop certain macroscopic and microscopic models. It is well known that even at room temperature the conductors and semiconductor are characterized by a large number of free electrons. The electrons ensemble in conductors and electron-hole ensemble in semiconductors respond significantly to electromagnetic wave propagation.

Financial Management

2023-03-07T09:18:15+00:00

Financial management is an important part of both economic and non-economic activities because it determines the efficient procurement and use of finance in a profitable manner. In the past, the subject of Financial Management was a component of accounting using traditional methods. With the effect of industrialization, it has now been enlarged with innovative and multi-dimensional functions in the field of business. Financial Management has become a vital part of the business concern, and they are concentrating more in the field of Financial Management. Corporate finance, business finance, financial economics, financial mathematics, and financial engineering are other terms for financial management. Understanding the fundamental concepts of financial management has become critical for students of economics, commerce, and management. This ensures that Financial Management will be the most accessible text for students of business and finance.

This book aims to teach students and others how to successfully manage the finances of small to medium-sized businesses. The book's underlying assumption is that successful financial managers must be able to construct and analyse financial statements and present value models. The focus of this book, which is devided into SIX parts, is learning how to construct and analyse financial statements and present value models.

Climate Change and Human Health

2023-02-27T11:16:17+00:00

Climate is the average weather of an area. It is the general weather conditions, seasonal variations of a region. The average of such conditions over a long period is called climate. The earth’s average surface temperature and climate have been changing throughout the world. Sometimes the temperature has changed gradually and at other times quickly. We have relatively stable climate for thousands of years due to which we have practiced agriculture. Even a small changes in climate conditions may disturb agriculture that would lead to migration of human, birds and animals. High CO2 level in the atmosphere have a negative effects on crop production and forest growth. Climate change may upset the water cycle results in floods and droughts in different parts of the world. Presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases the global temperature. Depletion of ozone layer also increases the global temperature. As the earth becomes warmer, there would be increase in waterborne diseases, infectious diseases carried by mosquitoes. The climate change might cause decline in ecosystem.

Human health has always been influenced by climate and weather. Changes in climate and climate variability affect the environment that provides us with clean air, food, freshwater, shelter security. Climate change threatens human health in numerous ways. Some of these health impacts are already being experienced in the world. Adverse health effects attributed to climate change can have many economic and social consequences, including direct medical costs, work loss, increased care giving and other limitations on everyday activities. In addition, the effects of global climate change on mental health. Human influencehas been the dominant cause of this observed climate change resulting increases in the intensity of some extreme weather events, rising sea levels andmelting snow are already disrupting people’s lives and damaging economy. The impacts of climate change are projected to increase over the next century. Some of the possible and amicable preventive measures to control climate change and global warming are:

Plant more trees
Adopt sustainable agriculture
Stabilize population growth
Avoid and reducing the use of fossil fuels
Utilize renewable resources
Remove atmospheric CO2 by utilizing photosynthetic algae

Advanced Materials and Applications

2023-05-10T09:50:23+00:00

Modern undergraduates and graduate students are keenly interested in the various ways in which chemistry impacts everyday life. This interest stems partly from career imperatives, but also from a natural interest in the relationship between fundamental science and the technology that increasingly dominates our lives. Classical chemistry courses at the university level rightly emphasize fundamental science. But courses that focus on the utilization of that chemistry are still rare.

This book is an outgrowth of a course in materials chemistry that I have taught for several years in the Chemistry Department at various Institutions. It is a course taken by advanced undergraduates and by students who are in the first year of the graduate program in chemistry, most of whom have had little or no prior exposure to materials science. The class has also attracted undergraduates from materials science and chemical engineering programs who are seeking a general overview of the field.

The subject matter is wide-ranging and, because the course extends over only one semester, the treatment aims for breadth, understanding, and perspective rather than great depth. The athematical foundations of the field are deliberately excluded in order to emphasize chemical concepts rather than the traditional engineering or physics treatments. A challenge with this approach is that published material relevant to this subject is widely scattered in specialist books and research articles, and this presents a problem for students who seek to access background reading material.

Thus, I have written this book in order to present a qualitative overview of relevant chemistry-related aspects and to provide a springboard to encourage readers to delve deeper into specific topics. Each chapter ends with a brief summary of future challenges in the different fields that could form the basis of class discussions and brainstorming sessions. A few of the references are to historical, ground-breaking articles that described major discoveries. Many of the study questions pose practical challenges in new materials design that students are encouraged to address either through written reports or through class discussions. Attempts by students to solve these practical problems have proved to be a popular aspect of the course.

This also provides an introduction to the ways in which science and technology become integrated in the wider world. I am grateful to several colleagues who read sections of the manuscript and made valuable suggestions. I am also highly appreciative of the suggestions made by members of my research group and by numerous students who have taken this course and had an opportunity to see preliminary drafts of several chapters. Of course, any errors that remain are mine alone. I hope that this book proves useful to all who have an interest in the impact of chemistry on modern technology and in the unique ways in which scientists have the knowledge, skills, and vision to bring about dramatic improvements to our way of life.

An Analysis of Various New Indian Laws

2023-04-19T04:55:16+00:00

This book is going to highlight the many legal issues. To educate the people and give legal awareness to the entire society. In legal perspective the people who doesn't know what is right and wrong, they believe in all. The author gives various dimensions in new laws and added more chapters regarding in new aspects. In surrogacy laws, LGBTQ+, Right to religion is a very much fundamental right and various concepts. As a law academician, she has penned the book on the title of corporate law with specific reference to issues and challenges and she had been authored the book of Language barrier among the law students, she had been authored, edited, presented the papers, conducted seminars, conferences etc… For more than a decade she has been serving as a law teacher. This book has been gives very good ideas about the contemporary legal issues. See you later in other topic of new law book.

Basics of Computer Science

2023-03-27T17:44:10+00:00

This book, Basics of Computer Science, is written from the perspective of a programmer, and it describes how application programmers can use their knowledge of a system to write better programs. Of course, learning what a system is supposed to do is a good first step in learning how to build one, so this book also serves as a valuable introduction for those who go on to implement system hardware and software. If you study and learn the concepts in this book, you will be on your way to becoming a rare "power programmer" who understands how things work and how to fix them when they go wrong. Our goal is to present the fundamental concepts in ways that you will find immediately useful. You'll also be ready to go deeper into topics like compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, embedded systems, and networking.

To keep up with the developments in the IT field, computer science and engineering curricula have been evolving at a rapid pace. Since the invention of the computer, experts and educators have been tasked with developing courses to teach emerging computer science concepts in college and university programs. An undertaking of this magnitude necessitates adequate literature and an explanation of key computer concepts at an introductory level. College computer textbooks are either too advanced, with little instructional value, or are focused on describing specific tools such as word processing, multimedia, and spreadsheet applications. Some begin at a very high level of complexity, preventing students from grasping the fundamental.

There's a popular myth that if you're not "computer literate," whatever that means, you'll fail out of college, never get a job, and spend the rest of your life poor and miserable. Of course, computer manufacturers promote the myth, as do some educators and writers. The truth is that no matter how many students study computer programming in high school, there will only be a limited number of programming jobs available.

Computer scientists, computer engineers, and others who want to learn what goes on "under the bonnet" of a computer system in order to write better programs. Our goal is to explain the fundamental concepts that underpin all computer systems and to demonstrate how these concepts affect the correctness, performance, and utility of your application programs. Other systems books are written from the perspective of a builder, describing how to implement the hardware or software of the system, such as the operating system, compiler, and network interface.

Social Structure in The Dharmasastra

2023-05-18T13:07:07+00:00

The present research work is an attempt to probe and analyse the social structure as elaborated by the Dharmashastras. Social structure as depicted in the Dharmashastras appeared to have differed. Besides analyzing the social structure, the present research work also attempts to probe and analyses the social and political condition of India which resulted in influencing the social structures which are mentioned in different smrtis, perdicularly the Narada Smriti and Brhaspati Smriti. An attempt too has been made to compare and contrast the social structure as depicted in the Dharmashastras and in Narada Smriti and Brihaspati Smriti. This research monograph is an attempt to probe and analyse the essential features of social structures as gleaned from the law-books of Narada and Brihaspati. Corroborative evidence from other ancient texts has been taken into account.

The social structure as mentioned in the Narada Smriti and the Social structure as mentioned and celebrated in the Brihaspati Smriti are not radically different. The Dharmashastras as elaborated by Prof. Kane discuss the social structure and social status and also the social and economic obligations of the Brahmanas, Khatriyas, Vaisayas and the sudras. Narada Smriti and Brihaspati Smriti too have elaborated the social status and social obligations of the Brahmanas, Khatriyas, Vaisyas, and sudras in society. How and in what respect they differed, the present research monograph is an attempt to probe and analyse them.

Dharmashastras discussin length the social status of the Brahmanas, the Khatriyas, the Vaisyas, and the Sudras and their respective position in the contemporary social structure. Before analyzing the social status of the Brahmanas, Khatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras as gleaned from the Dharmashastras and the texts of Smritikaras and as elaborated also in other texts, the present research work attempted to probe and analyses the social and political background of the period under probe.

Advanced Organic Chemistry Applications

2023-02-27T11:35:05+00:00

The manner of Organic Chemistry has changed somewhat since my days as a student in the early 2005s. Most notably, organic chemistry books offer more and better descriptions of topics in related fields such as Biochemistry and Materials Science, the internet allows one to search for information about specific topics, and computer software is readily available for modelling chemical structures and reactions. The overall level of sophistication has also risen for the presentation of traditional themes such as stereochemistry, bonding, reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and synthesis. In spite of these changes, however, the mastery of Organic Chemistry as a course of study still requires a sound knowledge of the principles of molecular structure and chemical reactivity, which are topics introduced in most General Chemistry courses. With such a back-ground, a student studying organic chemistry begins to focus on a more limited set of atomic building blocks, particularly of carbon and its elemental neighbours. And while the study of a smaller portion of the periodic table might be expected to be easily manageable, understanding organic chemistry can still seem overwhelming because of the diverse way s that this handful of elements can combine and interact. To learn organic chemistry, one must grasp the recurring patterns that correlate the presented facts.

Toward that end, this textbook organizes and discusses applications of the patterns of chemical reactivity—which constitutes the majority of the subject matter—by combining information about the structures of functional groups (the reactive portions of a molecule) with the reaction mechanisms (pathways of chemical reactions) that these functional groups undergo. This approach differs from the one presented in many other texts, which describe every type of reaction that can occur for a given functional group; each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. The one I have utilized here evolved from my objective to integrate discussions about biochemical processes with the types of reactions that are carried out in chemistry laboratories. With the use of two points of reference— structures and mechanisms—the similarities that associate biochemical and synthetic reactions can be appreciated more easily.

Sustainability: Research, Education and Practice Volume-3 Sustainability in Public Services & General Management

2023-01-02T09:05:31+00:00

Now it is the need of the hour to explore transformational pathways that take a comprehensive people and planet approach to ensure a prosperous and healthy future for all on a resilient and healthy planet. Gradually and rapidly, awareness intensifies that the universally adopted Sustainable Development Goals can only be achieved through an unprecedented transformation of the economies, societies, and technologies worldwide. Sustainability is a matter of need that requires the deployment of economic,
political, social implements, technological innovations, and changes in lifestyles to bring about the needed transformational changes at every scale. The concept of Sustainability was developed to create guidelines that allow the development of societies while preserving the environment. Its official definition was established in the Brundtland Report (1987), which states that Sustainable Development consists of meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The concept is based on three aspects: society, economy, and environment. Transformations for sustainable development must be based on the reform of the relationship between these aspects i.e., society, economy, and the environment. New mindsets and behaviour must work towards a sustainable outlook.

Role of ICT: Reaching to Unreached

Current Trends and Research in Medical Nutrition Therapy to Control Diseases

2023-03-29T11:58:28+00:00

This book, Current Trends and Research in Medical Nutrition Therapy to Control Diseases, is an essential part of everyday life. It has an impact on our health and can be used to prevent and treat disease. Substantial interventions in dietary intake and lifestyle changes have been shown to reduce disease risk in both the general population and patients suffering from various diseases. Traditional plant-based diets and medicines have received a lot of attention as an alternative to modern science-based drugs, while recent technological advancements in bioinformatics, genomics, and proteomics have provided a better understanding of plant-based drugs, improved quality assurance, and allowed clinical trials to be accelerated to bridge the gap with Western medicine. Furthermore, research in nutrigenomics and epigenomics has increased understanding of the relationship between nutrition and disease.

The book addresses concerns about our planet's future well-being, the health of the global human population as a result of the worldwide obesity epidemic, issues concerning sustainable food production, and the need for a shift to a healthier, more plant-based diet. This advanced nutrition therapy book will cover topics such as the cause, diagnosis, and reversal of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Simple and illustrative examples are provided for communicating complex topics. The simplified explanations of topics can benefit anyone with no prior knowledge of medical science, nutrition, or diet. This book focuses solely on a plant-based diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables to reverse diseases labelled as irreversible or incurable by a modern-day medical industry driven by profits and greed rather than compassion and healing. You will be able to maintain a healthy body weight, reverse chronic lifestyle diseases, get rid of harmful drugs and medications, teach healthy eating habits to your friends and family, and become an asset to society and community after reading this book.

Upper division undergraduates and graduate students in nutrition and dietetics, as well as professional nutritionists, dieticians, epidemiologists, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, and family medicine physicians, will benefit from this book.

New Approach on Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture and Fishery (Research and Applied)

2022-12-31T08:47:36+00:00

Plants face an enormous number of enemies and therefore have evolved stacks of defense mechanisms by which they are able to tackle various kinds of abiotic and biotic stress like fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasites, weeds, and insects. To overcome the biotic and abiotic stresses they have evolved multiple mechanisms of defense. These stresses result in abnormal physiology of the plant which impairs the plant’s normal growth, structure, and functions. For accommodating these changes in their fluctuating growth conditions and for better functional flexibility under the influence of various abiotic factors without impacting various physiological and biochemical processes plants have developed numerous mechanisms by producing a repertoire of metabolites in response to changing environment that plays a variety of roles (Yang et. al., 2018). Metabolites are the intermediates and end products of various metabolic processes. The plant produces a vast and diverse assortment of organic molecules, which are classified into two major groups: primary and secondary metabolites. Primary metabolites are intermediate or end products of all living systems, essential for the growth and life of plants. Secondary metabolites are products that do not significantly participate in the direct growth and development of the plant. Their absence does not result in the death of the plants, unlike primary metabolites. These bioactive compounds are used in pharmaceuticals, flavorings, and agrochemical industries.

Air Pollution and Prevention

2022-12-27T09:58:12+00:00

India is the world’s second most polluted country. Air pollution shortens the average life expectancy of Indian by 5 years. Air pollution in India is a major environmental issue. The fast growth in motor vehicle and industrialization have contributed to the high levels of air pollution in urban areas. The present chapter aims to discuss different aspects of air pollution and its control measures in India. Air pollution has become a serious problem that threat in the recent years posing serious risks to environment and social wellbeing. In India, the policy action to address air pollution is urgently needed. Due to the presence of different sources of pollutants, the problems of air pollution as well as solutions become complex.

It’s no secret that the increase in air pollution has taken an extraordinary toll on both the quality and longevity of life in India. Nine of the ten most polluted cities in the world are in India. And, according to a recent report from the Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago (EPIC), air pollution shortens human life expectancy in Delhi by ten years. This report also confirms that in addition to the Indo-Gangetic plain being the most polluted region in the world, with its air quality failing to meet World Health Organisation guidelines, the average Indian will lose five years of life expectancy as a result.

i23 – Inheritance of Human Genetics

2022-12-26T13:32:46+00:00

human genetics, study of the inheritance of characteristics by children from parents. Inheritance in humans does not differ in any fundamental way from that in other organisms. The study of human heredity occupies a central position in genetics. Much of this interest stems from a basic desire to know who humans are and why they are as they are. At a more practical level, an understanding of human heredity is of critical importance in the prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that have a genetic component. The quest to determine the genetic basis of human health has given rise to the field of medical genetics. In general, medicine has given focus and purpose to human genetics, so the terms medical genetics and human genetics are often considered synonymous. The prevailing concept of heredity in Gregor Mendel’s time was that the traits of the parents become blended in the progeny, as though the hereditary material consisted of fluids that become permanently mixed when combined. However, Mendel’s observation that one of the parental characteristics was absent in F1 generation and reappeared in unchanged form in the F2 generation was inconsistent with the idea of blending. Mendel’s experiments were simple and direct and revealed the most significant principles that determine how characteristics (traits) are passed from parents to offspring. Due to his careful analysis of inheritance of traits in garden peas carried out from 1856 to 1963 and published in 1866, heredity came to be recognized as a biological process separate from development. The Mendelian principles are the basis of ‘transmission genetics’ also referred to as ‘formal genetics’ because the subject can be understood and the rules clearly seen without any reference to the biochemical nature of genes or gene products. Mendel’s story is one of the great legends in the history of cience.

Although Mendel’s work demonstrated that the units of heredity are stable and particulate but at that time the biological basis of the transmission of genes from parents to offspring was quite mysterious; neither the role of the nucleus in reproduction nor the details of cell division were known. The early geneticists began to wonder about the biochemical nature of the gene and raised questions like what kind of molecule is a gene. How can hereditary information be contained in a molecule? How can this information be transmitted from parents to offspring? In what way is the information different in a mutant? At that time, there as no logical starting point for such an investigation. In 1869, Friedrich Miescher discovered a new type of mild acid, abundant in the nuclei of white blood cells that turned out to be chemical substance of which genes are made and is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). However, the connection between DNA and heredity was not demonstrated.

2022-12-15T16:56:07+00:00

Histomorphological lesions in genital organs with or without apparent gross lesions lead to disturbances in reproductive cycle and disturbed cycle results in a large proportion of failure of conception and are an important cause of sterility. Female genital tract has many diseases, which are very important clinically as well as pathologically also. In Rajasthan, so far very little efforts have been made to study the etiology, occurrence and pathology of various lesions in genital tract of cattle. Therefore, it becomes pertinent to study the genital tract affections in cattle. So, it is a matter of pleasure that the Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Navania, Vallabh Nagar, Udaipur, RAJUVAS, Bikaner is going to Publish its “Pathomorphological study of Female Genital Tract in Cattle” as edited book.

व्यवसायिक दुग्ध उत्पादन

2023-12-31T18:17:56+00:00

कृषि भारत की अर्थ व्यवस्था की रीढ़ है परन्तु बढ़ती जनसंख्या, घटे जोत का आकार एवं आधुनिकीकरण के इस दौर में किसानों की आय को फसल उत्पादन में वृद्धि के माध्यम से बढ़ना मुश्किल है. अत: कृषि में विविधिकरण आवश्यक है जो डेयरी बकरीपालन एवं मुर्गीपालन, अपनाकर ही सम्भव है.

स्वतंत्रता प्राप्ति के उपरान्त पहले तीस वर्षों में हमारा ध्यान खाद्य सुरक्षा प्राप्त करने की और था और अगले तीस वर्षो तक खाद्य सुरक्षा को बनाए रखना था. वर्तमान परिपेक्ष्य में खाद्य सुरक्षा, पोषण सुरक्षा के साथ आर्थिक सुरक्षा आवश्यक है. दुग्ध के निर्यात द्वारा देश के लिए विदेशी मुद्रा अर्जित करने में भी पशुओं का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान है पशुपालन से ऐसे लोग जुड़े है जो आर्थिक एवं सामाजिक दृष्टि से पिछड़े हुए है. इनमें प्रमुख रूप से भूमिहीन मजदूर, छोटे एवं सीमांत किसान आते है. पशुपालन एक ऐसी व्यवसाय है जिसे 'शुरू करने के लिए न तो अधिक पूंजी की आवश्यकता होती है नही अधिक भूमि की एवं दुग्ध व्यवसाय में शुरू करते ही आमदनी शुरू हो जाती है- इसलिए आज डेयरी एक सतत आमदनी का स्त्रोत बन चूका है. दूध की उपलब्धता बढ़ाकर कुपोषण की स्थिति में सुधार लाया जा सकता है.

इसी उद्देश्य से कृषि विज्ञान केन्द्र, बांका के वैज्ञानिक के प्रयास से "व्यवसायिक दुग्ध उत्पादन" पुस्तक का प्रकाशन किया जा रहा है. आशा है की यह पुस्तक पशुपालकों, प्रसार कार्यकर्ताओं, छात्रों के लिए अत्यंत उपयोगी सिद्ध होगी.

इसके सफल प्रकाशन के लिए शुभकामनाए....

Management Education in Contemporary India

2023-01-02T04:40:34+00:00

According to the reports, only 10 to 15 percent of students passing out from business schools (B-schools) in India are employable. It puts greater onus on the shoulder of the business schools in general and university governed business schools in specific to equip their students with more and more technical, analytical, soft and conceptual skills so as to ensure bridging the gap between what industry want and what is being provided by business schools. The expectations of the industry continually change with the passage of time. Some of the university governed business schools appear to be getting concerned to operate professionally. However, a big chunk of them is yet to be fully alarmed to be capable enough of meeting altering needs of the industry.

Managers prepared by business schools are required to be competently handling recessionary trends. Students passing out from business schools are required to be having a strong flair for research. Without research orientation they appear to be incomplete. The orientation of research further augments the probability of getting succeeded in VUCA business environment. Aligning itself with global economic challenges and trends, Indian management education is undergoing a transition. With a tectonic shift in industry expectations, role of our Bschools has become more critical in preparation of leaders in disruptive economic scenario. Business environment in India is expanding horizons accommodating new-age sectors under its fold. While many business schools in the country have embraced the change, massive make over in educational approach is the need of the hour, opine industry experts. Bridging the widening academic-industry gap can be attributed to fluid economics at the global level. Industry required the managers who can withstand the test of time, opine the experts. Employers getting smart and are looking beyond mere score cards. (Kanchan Gogate, 2020)

Herbal Plants: Medicinal and Nutritional Aspects

2022-12-15T17:04:04+00:00

Medicinal plants always played an important role in the maintenance of health, well-being, and everyday life of a population worldwide. Throughout the centuries, plant leaves, stems, flowers, seeds, berries, and roots were used for healing. This book, which is based on a scientific findings and original research done in College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Navania, Vallabhnagar, Udaipur (Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Bikaner) represent a comprehensive and up to date introduction of some important medicinal plants. This book focuses on presenting the current scientific evidence of biomolecular effects of selected herbs in relation to clinical outcomes and therapy for promotion of Animal Health. Although the terms “herb” and “herbal medicine” in traditional medicine are sometimes used in relation to animal or insect parts, our use of the term is limited to plants.

The herbs selected cover a wide range and include flowering herbs, leaves, and leaf exudate Neem, Ajwai, Moringa, Dhatura, Calotropis, Parthenium, Aloevera and Khejri etc. As of now, many commercially available herbal products are uncharacterized and of questionable quality or content. The composition of natural products such as herbs can vary greatly with season, growing conditions, preparation, and storage. However, there is also adulteration, contamination, and misidentification of herbs and herbal products. Improved quality control techniques and processes for the identification of herbs and the establishment of characteristic chemical “fingerprints” for herbs and herbal medicines are badly needed. The herbal plants discussed in the book have proved highly beneficial to Animal Health and control of intermediate hosts of parasites. I wish it will be greatly helpful to readers.

Entrepreneurial Dynamism in India

2022-12-24T12:08:13+00:00

The vision of India 2.0 taking forward the nation towards self-reliance in 2047 has clearly reiterated that every citizen has to make the glimpse of the past to stand out in the growth of all fields in the future. This is stated as “The journey of 75 years after independence is a reflection of the hard work, innovation, enterprise of ordinary Indians. Whether in the country or abroad, we Indians have proved ourselves with our hard work. We are proud of our Constitution. We are proud of our democratic traditions. The mother of democracy, India is still moving forward by strengthening democracy. India, rich in knowledge and science, is leaving its mark from Mars to the moon.” Every decade has been a challenging picture for India, in development, economy, and social outcomes, technological surmount, industrial outlay, and so on. In brief, 1990s show caused the economic dynamics through LPG policies, 2000s impacted the technological surmount for industries and allied fields, 2010s displayed the exigencies for resource optimality and proficient governance with data management.

It is clearly evident that the Entrepreneurial environment has attained more dynamism during the recent past, and is expected to continue in the same way, as a trend setter for the forthcoming decades. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Report 2020-21 provides that 82 per cent of youngsters believe that they have the required skills and knowledge to start a business. Out of 47 economies, India ranks 3rd for perceived opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a vast entrepreneurial dynamics in its ecosystem and sustainability. The entrepreneurs in post-pandemic time seek to upgrade their business with newer methodology and technology, to make their enterprises more affordable and lively for a longer period without compromising on its losses. A leading survey conducted by EDII, Ahmedabad, has shown that, 70 per cent of entrepreneurs changed their business plans and developed alternative plans amidst the pandemic, with nearly 45 per cent of entrepreneurs in India explored new business opportunities and 22.5 per cent of entrepreneurs expanded into online trading during the pandemic.

Traditional Trends and Contemporary Challenges in Business, Commerce, Humanities, and Social Sciences

2022-11-10T07:03:53+00:00

Every second person using internet is a member of social media these days. The time that people use to spend on TV, newspapers, Cinema halls etc. is gradually shifting to social media channels like YouTube; OTT platforms; Facebook, etc. The role of marketing has changed and the social media is assisting that change. The traditional tools are getting outdated and have also reached the saturation point. (Daniasa et al., 2010). The new era customers are the same persons whom the firms used to target
using traditional media like newspapers, television and billboards (Dan, 2006).

The only difference is that their behaviour as ‘individuals’ and as ‘customers’ have changed because of their increasing presence on the new ‘virtual market spaces’ like social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. These are the new ‘places’ where they are present for the purpose of their entertainment and for social connect that drives them to be actively present on these platforms. And therefore, the social media has emerged as a channel for promotion and is offering various opportunities to the marketers. But along with opportunities, there are many challenges also facing the marketers. This Paper aims at study of challenges facing the marketers while using social networking websites for the purpose of promotion. The study is based upon sample unit of people who are members of one or more social networking websites.

Traditional Trends and Contemporary Challenges in Business, Commerce, Humanities, and Social Sciences

2022-11-09T11:21:57+00:00

The complexity of relationship between nature and society has led to the emergence of interdisciplinary research. Interdisciplinary is a process of answering a complexity of question of the society through amalgamation of knowledge from different streams through academic disciplines. Interactions between humans and their natural environments has led to many global challenges related to water, forest, air, urbanization, waste management and others. These global challenges demand the exploration of the problem with the interfaces of various disciplines. These interfaces can be in the form of borrowing concepts, models, approaches, theories, tools and others. As the purpose of research is to find solutions to the problems, it demands the problem-oriented collaboration that increases the relevance of interdisciplinary approach. This unification of various academic disciplines has also led to emergence of new inter-discipline like geo politics, nanoscience and others. In Social sciences we observe this in the amalgamation of various disciplines such as Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, etc.

This helps us to be more critical in our thinking and creative in problem solving. Hence this paper put forth that interdisciplinary approach enriches the growth and sustainability of every academic discipline and also leads to the emergence of new disciplines such as Public Policy that offers effective solutions to the issues boggling the society. The study of public policy must be interdisciplinary in focus, because public programs and public policy problems are complex and they transcend beyond the understanding of any single discipline. As Laswell states ‘Policy Sciences’ is a framework to set the process of comprehensive, integrated understanding concerned with policy. This integrated understanding requires an interdisciplinary approach to formulate policy design and execution to deal with the complex problems of our Society.

Elections, Democracy and Constitutional Morality in India

2023-01-01T07:16:17+00:00

To attain a complete understanding of India or Democracy in general, or of Indian democracy in particular, a sustained study of its electoral system is an imperative. One must seek to understand the constitutional, political, cultural and social dimensions of the electoral system in order to achieve a total understanding of India. Elections itself is such a significant and fascinating field of study because it serves as a useful microcosm of our country. Through a study of elections, we can access the core issues and realities of the Indian republic. Within the drama of elections, therefore, our nation’s anxieties and aspirations, ideologies and insecurities, perils and promises, triumphs and tribulations are all revealed and engaged with. Not only do elections serve as a shining symbol of a working democracy but they also, time and again, disclose to us the darker, criminal elements that form part of democracy’s subterranean reaches. Effectively, and at the very least symbolically, it is in elections that our leaders are both birthed and judged, our public empowered, and the tenets of representative democracy celebrated. It is for these reasons that I believe electoral politics to be the litmus test of a democracy. India is both the largest democracy and the second most populous country in the world. This apart, in comparison to most of the developed democracies of the world, problems of illiteracy, poverty,
gender and caste disparities still continue in India as is the case with most of the developing countries. Its electorate is not only vast but also quite diverse reflecting the plurality of caste, religion, region, language, and so on, of its social mosaic. Conducting consistent and periodic elections in the country by encouraging large-scale popular participation is a stupendous task. Going by India's record in this regard, periodic elections as a means of smooth transfer of power have been a regular and successful
feature of India's democracy in the past seventy years. Not only this, Indians have time and again reposed faith in elections as the most potent means of nonviolent and peaceful protest against all acts of omissions and commissions of Government. Elections
have thus become integral to India's democracy as in other successful liberal democracies across the globe.

Emerging Enterprises - Prospects & Promises

2022-12-24T10:51:42+00:00

During the COVID-19 pandemic, as a nation, India has shown the entire world its resilience and capability to deal with extreme adversities. The vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan can become a reality by promoting and focusing on local manufacturing i.e. 'Made in India' and being 'vocal' about 'local”. The focus lies on creation of world-class products, promoting investments and value pricing. Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan or Self-reliant India campaign is the vision of new India envisaged by the Hon'ble Prime Minister, with the Special economic and comprehensive package of INR 20 lakh crores - equivalent to 10% of India’s GDP – to fight COVID-19 pandemic in India. The aim is to make the country and its citizens independent and selfreliant in all senses, viz., five pillars of Atma Nirbhar Bharat – Economy, Infrastructure, System, Vibrant Demography and Demand.

Atmanirbhar Bharat provides financial support to several firms, encouraging entrepreneurs to produce goods and services within the country. This will help the country to focus on the tagline of ‘vocal for local,' the promotion of local brands, manufacturing, and supply chains that will provide a significant boost to India's economy. This will ultimately help India to become Atmanirbhar Bharat in every aspect. However, the readiness of current and future entrepreneurs is not well defined and planned at the moment due to lack of knowledge, readiness, planning, coordination and collaboration between different stakeholders, and guidance on this transformation process resulting in skill gaps, mismatches and resource losses. The skills requested by industry are not merely technical. Future professionals are mandatorily expected to be creative, innovative and entrepreneurial, and capable of building relationships, advancing research and strengthening their organisations. Independent India continued to have a variety of political and monetary variables that were non-contributing attributes for business. Even the training framework never really empowered the rise of new companies. India has re-defined and re-enforced entrepreneurship among the youth as the catalyst for growth. Youth are motivated and trained for gaining relevant entrepreneurial competencies concepts of incubation centres at higher education and tinkering labs at school level are also promoted for the same.

Sustainable Environment Practices (SEP)

2022-10-20T18:24:54+00:00

Livestock farming is a part of animal husbandry. Livestock often includes cows, buffalo, ox, poultry, and goat. Sustainable livelihood produces almost all kinds of food needs itself. The concept of sustainable rural livelihood amalgamates livestock farming with agriculture farming. The livestock mainly provides milk (cow, buffalo, and goat) and meat (goat and poultry). The livestock i.e., ox and buffalo utilized for ploughing and transporting.

The manure of live stocks, especially cow, acts as rich mineral fertilizer e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and also nourish agricultural soil microbes. Manure has also a diverse group of microbiota used for agriculture fertility and produces fuels such as methane biogas. Non-agriculture land produces fodder for livestock as a payoff and mitigates the environmental footprint of livestock diet and unwanted grazing. The literature claimed that the Green House Gas i.e., CH4 and N2O, emissions from livestock farming can be diminished by livestock integration with farming. Hence the integration of livestock farming with agriculture practices serves milk, meat, agricultural crop products, fertilizer, biogas, ploughing, and transportation.

An Introduction to Crystal Chemistry

2022-12-06T09:12:39+00:00

‘We also have an aura, made up of energy layers, vibrating at different frequencies. With healing crystals, chakra stones … you can cleanse your own energy field.’ This is the sort of thing you will find if you enter the word ‘crystals’ into Google. Unfortunately this type of pseudoscientific new-age gobbledygook about crystals has become all too pervasive. I recently bought a lovely large crystal of Iceland spar (calcite) for my collection from a shop. The shop assistant advised me to keep it near me when I go to bed, as this would bring harmony and a good night’s sleep. Apparently it clears away ‘negative energies’. I tried it. It didn’t. I often have to tell people that crystals are among the ‘deadest’ objects in the universe—no auras, no energy fields, no chakras. They don’t always like to be told such things.

But this does illustrate a fascination with crystals that goes back a long way into the ancient past. We know that Peking man collected rock crystal quartz, probably to make tools, or possibly for a primitive animistic belief. Australian aborigines also used rock crystal and amethyst as rain stones in rain-making rites, and they also attributed malevolent powers to crystals. The earliest recorded observation of six-sided snow crystals was in China in 135 BC, where they were compared with the pentagonal symmetry of flowers by the author Han Ying in his book Disconnection

Information and Communication Technology at Secondary Education

2022-10-14T11:52:26+00:00

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in schools have been subsumed in the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA). Now ICT in Schools is a component of the RMSA. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Schools was launched in December, 2004 and revised in 2010 to provide opportunities to secondary stage students to mainly build their capacity on ICT skills and make them learn through computer aided learning process. The Scheme is a major catalyst to bridge the digital divide amongst students of various socio economic and other geographical barriers. The Scheme provides support to States/UTs to establish computer labs on sustainable basis.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AT SECONDARY EDUCATION book presents the results of a study on students’ appreciation of information and communication technology (ICT) applications in schools for general secondary education. We investigate to what extent students from different gender and ethnic backgrounds appreciate various characteristics of ICT tools. This book is designed specifically for students training to teach ICT as a curriculum subject at secondary level.

Objective Type on Modern Aquaculture in Fisheries

2022-09-17T06:28:54+00:00

Aquaculture production is expanding over the world and, as time goes on, is becoming a practical alternative to fishing as a resource. The majority of the world's fish used for human consumption today is raised in tanks. There has been a decrease in catches from both industrial and small-scale fishing while there has been an increase in production from aquaculture to fulfill the rising demand for fish. The ACP Group of States has made significant strides in promoting aquaculture, although these efforts span a wide range of stages, from the commercial phase of development to the early stages of growth, depending on the investments and capacities of individual countries and regions. Institutional restraints, ineffective management, and environmental threats such as water pollution, disease transmission to fish farms, overuse of antibiotics, and negative effects on biodiversity are common in this industry for these nations.

Environmental Science

2022-09-14T18:02:33+00:00

This book on “Environmental Science” is based on the syllabus prescribed by UGC. At present we need to give importance to the
environment as we depend on it to satisfy our basic needs. The unsustainable use of our precious natural resources has depleted the quality the air, water and soil and this has resulted in various current environmental issues. Scientists have predicted that in the next decade, climate change may degrade the environment to a significant extent. Hence, awareness on the current state of the environment is of primary concern. Realizing this, UGC has prescribed environmental studies to be included in the UG syllabus.

This book is based on that syllabus and we believe that this book will benefit teachers and students. The subject matter is presented in a simple way and in each unit end, multiple choice questions and answers were added. We present this book with high enthusiasm and great expectation to provide environmental awareness among student community. We expect constructive criticism to improve this book.

This 16-chapters book's main objective is to teach readers how to create and evaluate financial statements and present value models.

General Chemistry

2022-10-25T10:58:05+00:00

General Chemistry all Chapters are relevant to materials science are also introduced to meet the more specific needs of engineering students. Simple organic structures, nomenclature, and reactions are introduced very early in the text to aid in the integration of such material, and whenever practical, both organic and inorganic examples are utilised. The emphasis on ionic and covalent bonding differences in this method improves students' chances of doing well in the organic chemistry course that usually comes after general chemistry. The authors also made an effort to address material that has typically been placed in boxes and may therefore be seen as unimportant by the students by include it in the text as a teaching tool.

The information has been positioned in the chapters where the pertinent ideas are first covered. To represents a development in general chemistry texts toward one that takes into account the growing interdisciplinary nature of chemistry.

Current Trends in Health, Wellness and Lifestyle Management

2022-10-17T11:18:33+00:00

We all agree with the statement “Health is wealth. It is quite true at all stages of life and for any gender. It doesn’t matter whether the person is male or female, kids or adult. Health always remained important for everyone. We cannot enjoy a single moment of our life if we don’t have good health. Good health is the strength of life and key to happiness.

Here we are talking about women health. Woman who is the creator of new life on the Earth, who is the care givers of the family members and for the last few decades playing very active role in nation building. She starts her days with new challenges and try to meet her demand selflessly. How can she confront her challenges with diseased mind and body? No, it is never possible. She cannot meet her household as well as professional responsibilities with poor health. She must be healthy physically, mentally emotionally and socially only then she will perform all responsibilities successfully. Good health empowers us and makes us strong mentally as well as physically.

Trends in Environmental Biology (Volume II)

2022-08-07T18:02:22+00:00

The Novel Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) struck the world hard in the first half of 2020, forcing numerous countries to put harsh limitations on all human-related activities. The emergence of COVID-19, as an unusual occurrence, has severely harmed world economic growth and had an impact on the environment. To keep the virus from spreading further, governments pose several strict lockdowns, and people were primarily encouraged to quarantine themselves at home. As a result of the lockdown, industrial and vehicle movements were halted, and the rate of contaminants entering the ecosystem was lowered in several places but on the other hand, COVID-19 has a number of disadvantages, including more medical waste, increased hazard utilization, and disposal of disinfectants, masks, and gloves, as well as a huge amount of untreated wastes, are harming the
environment.

We don't have direct confirmation that climate change is causing COVID-19 to spread, but we do know that it has an impact on how humans interact with other creatures on the globe, which has significance for our health and infection risk. So, in this book chapter, we were talk about the impact of COVID-19 on the environment and climate change from both positive and negative perspectives. We will also discuss mitigation strategies to tackle from negative impacts of COVID-19 on the environment.

Trends in Environmental Biology (Volume I)

2022-08-07T17:30:23+00:00

Environmental sciences are made up of disciplines such as Environmental Biology, which is regarded as an Applied Ecology. Ecology and Environmental Biology are related areas of specialization, thus the reason why students study it as a discipline. Ecology is the study of the relationship between living organisms and their environment, while environmental biology is an Applied Ecology that studies the holistic relationship between man and the physical and biological environment. This paper is based on the review of the some relevant work in the subject matter.

Research methods is an important aspect of science and it denotes the procedure the researchers utilize in carrying out research processes. These include methods or techniques applied by the researcher throughout the period of studying his research problem. This paper highlighted eleven steps involved in ecological research process which are : Research problem formulation; Extensive literature survey; Developing the hypothesis; Research design preparing; Determining sample design; Collecting the data; Project execution; Analysis of data; Hypothesis testing; Interpretation and generalisation, and Report preparation.

Recent Advances in Clothing and Textiles

2022-08-25T09:39:28+00:00

Clothing, such as a mosquito net or safekeeping textiles in the operating room, acts as a mechanical barrier to keep people safe from infestation, insect bites, protozoa, and microbes. Medical products may discover the use of these types of bandages. Textiles with antimicrobial properties are desirable in health-related business, trade, and care from pathogens. Infections and allergies are caused by fungi, bacteria, and insects. Other uses for antimicrobial textiles include air and liquid filtration, floor coverings, draperies, wall coverings, and so on. Body odor is caused by wetness on skin secretions, which release chemical substances required for living metabolic activity and bacterial decomposition.

Malodor of the intimate garment area and armpit has been linked to bacteria capable of producing a variety of odorous compounds derived from androgens. Antimicrobial measures and a reduction in skin dampness can help to reduce malodor.

A Handbook of Glossary on Biological Sciences (Special emphasis on Microbiology)

2022-08-04T11:19:24+00:00

We wanted a textbook that was especially designed from the ground up for the vocations that the majority of students are pursuing allied health practitioners. However, it wasn't real. The books offered have either been updated with features aimed at these students or they were created by incorporating illustrations and content from already-published non-allied health literature. The primary goal of producing this book is to disseminate the undersigned's information among those who are interested. The writing of this book on the subject served a variety of goals. In essence, it meets the needs of applicants aiming for competitive exams as well as those of novices trying to grasp the nuances of the topic.

It has been noted that students' fears are stoked by the subject's name alone—microbiology. An effort has been made to allay that worry through the writing of this book. A student should approach the material with assurance. For the students, learning should be enjoyable. He or she should compete at all times and in all places. The book is easy to use and presents information in a clear and organized way. It presents an in-depth analysis of the main microbiology principles. It is believed that the information should be completely clear. A comment or idea from your end could give the book's chapter further boost. The authors eagerly await reader feedback, including criticism and ideas. Users' helpful recommendations and opinions would be much valued, gladly recognized, and appropriately integrated.

An emphasis is laid to furnish sufficient background chemistry for each of the topics in order that applications are considered in a context where students have acquired sufficient understanding of pertinent principles.

Language Barrier in Learning Law Faced by Law Students

2022-07-12T17:45:08+00:00

From the initial days of my teaching career, I felt there was a difficulty faced by the law students in learning Law, because of the Language Barrier. Students who have completed their school education in their mother tongue were unable to cope up with their English medium education in the Higher studies. Medium of Instruction plays a vital role in their ability to study, learn and understand the subjects. The difficulty faced by the students kindled my thought to learn and analyze the student’s language barrier levels of different category, background and other factors of the students.

In the studying the above issue I have received help and encouragement from my sister Smt. A. Gajalakshmi MSc. M. Phil. M. Ed and my husband Thiru. D. Chandrasekar MA.ML., who is an Advocate of the High Court, Chennai. I express my gratitude to them. I express my gratitude to all those writers, experts and critics whose works have inspired me and have broadened my horizon about the Language Barrier among the Law Students. I express my gratitude to my publisher KD Publications, Pune whose encouragement and enthusiasm enabled me to complete this work.

ICT and Exclusive Development

2022-06-27T06:09:02+00:00

We are seeing a dramatic shift in society as a result of the rise of information and communications technology (ICT). Nevertheless, despite ICTs' enormous potential, their advantages have not been distributed fairly throughout society as a whole. A fundamental concern for public officials today is how to best use ICTs to promote social inclusion and economic growth. ICTs provide a unique opportunity for poor countries to achieve essential development goals, such as basic healthcare, education, poverty reduction, and democratic reform, among others, in the information and globalisation era. Information and Communication Technologies for Developments (ICT4D) have enormous potential benefits. Through the UN Development Program, the United Nations has actively pushed ICT4D as a significant economic and social development tool. It is the goal of ICT4D to bridge the digital divide and help socioeconomic development by providing equal access to the most current communications technologies. Countries all over the world are rapidly promoting and launching ICT-integrated infrastructure and development initiatives. ICTD4 in underdeveloped nations is discussed in this study.

In the global economy, digitalization is transforming every aspect of human activity, from personal and professional lives to the
world of business. As the number of people and families utilising the Internet rises, so does the number of devices that can connect to the Internet, and so does the frequency with which computers are being used. Individuals are actively using the Internet in a variety of ways, from the more traditional methods of sending and receiving e-mails and making phone/video calls, to the more innovative ones of building websites, doing online banking, and conducting business. The use of cutting-edge information and communication technology is now a part of every aspect of a business.

Concrete Technology Lab Manual

2022-07-14T11:06:02+00:00

Concept of a dwelling is most primitively developed idea, which arose out of, we can say a very popular saying, “Need is the mother of invention”. With advancement of civilization, requirement for ‘structures’ for use other than shelter was also felt, like schools & universities for education, hall and auditoriums for gathering, and so on. With this need, engineering and technology required essentially for materialisation of these needs also developed.

Concrete technology has been a boon to mankind when it comes to ‘Buildings & Structures’. Concrete owing to its versatility has been used by designers and engineers all over the world in its different forms viz, plain, reinforced and pre-stressed, to design and build magnificent structures. Researches in the field of Concrete technology have helped in development of concrete with high durability and performance. This has been possible due to experimental investigations and analyses by engineers and scientists on the subject.

The failure of structures, these days is mostly attributed to poor execution of work and inferior quality control at site. It is well
understood that failure of concrete structure can results in loss of life and property and thus, it is the need of the hour that our young engineers shall be well versed with the testing of concrete and its components. Also, they must be well acquainted with the Nondestructive testing of concrete which has made possible the determination of quality of concrete without damage to the same.

Nanotechnology (Materials and Applications)

2022-06-16T10:02:15+00:00

Compared with conventional technologies and sciences, the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology dealing with the synthesis and characterization of nanostructure materials has been quite rapid and intensive, while also unprecedented. Now the technologies based on nanoscience and nanotechnology are exerting a profound and strong impact on every field of conventional technology and science. In fact, all different scientific disciplines, including every single sector (such as nanomaterials, micro and nanomachines, micro and nanoelectronics), have their own paradigm . This is why innovations and industrial developments are profoundly different.

However, these fields are strongly interlinked. It is therefore necessary to make our studies more interdisciplinary in order to enable us to understand the nanoworld. Nano sciences and nanotechnologies are leading to a major turning point in our understanding of nature. Such a force has its consequences or in the words of a famous fictional character: every force has its dark side. Our future depends on how we use new discoveries and what risks they bring upon humanity and our natural environment. The ethical implications of this must therefore be discussed.

This book presents the possible applications of nano-sized materials in environmental processes. It is by far the most reliable guideline for the selection of nanomaterials to improve the efficiency of environmental processes and for designing nanomaterials for specific environmental processes and pollutants. The impact of nanomaterials on the environment has also been discussed in the book to help avoid causing secondary contamination by use of nanomaterials and to provide proper information about nanomaterials to potential users who wish to use and apply them in environmental technology.

Live-In Relationships: Socio-Legal Aspects

2022-06-14T13:56:16+00:00

In this book, we are diluting the views of authors by various chapters enumerated. By this, we are trying to get knowledge for the topic we heard about a lot in today's time, which is Live-in Relationships. There must be a separate statute dealing with this current issue so that the rights of living partners, children born out of such relationships and all those people who are likely to get affected by such relationships should be protected. The legitimate status of Live-in Relationships should satisfy the certain basic requirements of society. The legal consequences of such living are arising regarding the live-in partners as per the awareness about live-in relationships nowadays.

The 1990s was a changing decade. With the end of the Cold War, a lot of things have changed everything and everyone on the world stage. The decade changed countries, societies, politics, and economies. It also brought a lot of new technologies like the internet, video game consoles, e-commerce, military drones, and vice versa. But it also leads to new problems like the low birth rate issue in Japan, wars in Congo, Yugoslavia, Iraq, etc., religious strife in India, the rise of global terrorism and so. Despite all the problems the world also saw the rise of new trends. One such trend is the live-in relationship. The concept was rising especially in the urban areas and is popular among people in their youth.

My Days with the National Cadet Corps (NCC)

2022-06-07T07:28:03+00:00

I feel it is also important to narrate to the readers information about my family background, my academic years and relevant period of service because this would indicate how ordinary I am and why I failed to remain in the organization during my college and university days and why I joined again during my service life after a long gap. Keeping this in mind, I have described the above background along with my experience as a JD NCC cadet in the Prologue part of this book. In writing this book, I have mainly depended on my memories and some records which I retained somehow in my personal files. don’t have the practice of writing a diary and that is why I might have missed some valuable information, some relevant events and some important names which should have been mentioned. I beg excuse for those omissions and desire to include those, if in future, I get any pportunity to remember the same. I acknowledge with thanks, help and cooperation received from the Principals and Staff of Karimganj College and the Commanding Officers and staff of 4 Assam Bn NCC, Karimganj who were there during my period of service and even after relinquishment from service.

Health and Well-Being of Children and Adolescent

2022-06-20T06:34:30+00:00

UNICEF aims to help children survive and thrive during their first two decades of life all across the world. UNICEF and partners are
assisting in the development and implementation of national adolescent health plans, as well as improving adolescent sexual
and reproductive health, including maternal and newborn care, and expanding access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines in
order to eliminate cervical cancer. Adolescence is a significant age group since it is during this time that individuals can gain specific expertise and hone individual abilities in preparation for entry into the mainstream workforce and contributing to economic productivity. It's also a time when important changes in health and health-related behaviours like smoking and substance misuse, hazardous sexual practises, poor diet, and lack of exercise take place, all of which can have a significant impact on health outcomes later in life. Adolescent populations have risen dramatically in recent decades as a result of the effectiveness of child survival programmes, particularly in low- and middleincome nations (LMICs).

The language has been kept lucid keeping in view the wide readership which includes students, demonstrators, lecturers, field personnel and others.

Organic Chemistry

2022-06-06T11:34:28+00:00

Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules' structure, characteristics, content, reactions, and production. The most common elements in organic compounds are carbon and hydrogen, although they can also contain a variety of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur).

Organic chemistry was once limited to the study of molecules created by living organisms, but it has now expanded to encompass human-made substances (e.g., plastics).

Organic chemistry is a very creative science in which chemists are able to develop and investigate molecules and compounds. Organic chemists devote a significant amount of their work to the development of novel chemicals and the improvement of existing ones.

Organic substances can be found all over the place. Organic chemicals make up at least a portion of many modern materials. They're essential for economic development and are fundamental to biochemistry, biotechnology, and medicine. Organic compounds can be found in agrichemicals, coatings, cosmetics, detergent, dyestuff, food, fuel, petrochemicals, medicines, plastics, and rubber, to name a few.

Because the study of organic chemistry was initially limited to substances created by living creatures, the name "organic" was coined. This was attributed to some kind of 'vital power' that living substances possessed that inanimate substances lacked. When Urey Miller produced urea from inorganic chemicals, the aforementioned theory was refuted, although the classification is still in use.

Because of one essential feature shown by the atom carbon, called carbon catenation, organic chemistry is a huge subject. Carbon has a remarkable ability to make extremely stable bonds with other carbon atoms, allowing it to construct stable molecules with relatively complex structures. The ability of an element to create bonds with an atom of the same kind is known as catenation. As a result, this feature of carbon is responsible for the immensity of organic chemistry.

Realm of Microteaching

2022-05-14T07:52:06+00:00

Concept of tribe and tribal community development the word “tribe” is taken from the Latin word “tribus” which means “one third”. The word originally referred to one of the three territorial groups which united to make Rome. India is known as a melting pot of tribes and races. After Africa India has the second largest concentration of tribal population within the world. Approximately there are about 698 scheduled tribes that constitute 8.5% of the India’s population as 2001 censes. Tribal population have some specific characteristics which are different from others tribes. They are simple people with unique customs, traditions and practices. They lived a life of isolation or you can say that geographical isolation. In India aboriginal tribes have lived for 1000 of years in forests and hilly areas without any communication with various centers of civilization. Now, there is a need to integrate tribes in to main stream of the society as a rightful member with respect.

Land Resource: Methods & Management

2022-04-30T07:13:31+00:00

There are 09 drought-prone tahsils in Jalgaon district identified by V. Subramaniam in the study region. These tahsils are Amalner, Dharangaon, Parola, Erandol, Chalisgaon, Bhadgaon, Pachora, Jamner and Muktainagar. There are 47 circles included in these 09 drought prone tahsils. Land resources management for drought mitigation and upliftment of the present study is important because of their influence on the society and the economy of any nation. Reducing long term vulnerability to drought remains possible but requires a fundamental shift in the approaches to deal with water resources management. The word ‘drought’ indicates scarcity of water for ecosystems, land and human use, resulting in failing crops, livestock, livelihoods and human health. During the last century, this region experienced many episodes of drought whose frequency has increased during the last decades. This climatic phenomenon has negatively affected agriculture and livestock production and involved natural resources degradation. From this study, we can conclude that although drought phenomenon is complex and remains a little understood, many indicators of early warning and drought mitigation and strategies have been developed and tested by scientists worldwide. Most commonly, there are three components in a drought plan: monitoring and early warning; risk assessment; and mitigation and response.

Brand Management

2022-04-07T05:45:46+00:00

The study of brands and brand management has always piqued the interest of practitioners and academics alike. Gardner and Levy (1955), Levy (1959), Martineau (1959), and Allison and Uhl (1959) conducted early, seminal study on brands (1964). This book is about brands: why they are essential, what they represent to consumers, and what businesses should do to properly manage them. Many corporate executives today acknowledge that a company's brands, which it has invested in and cultivated over time, are one of its most important assets. Although brands can be extremely valuable intangible assets, building and maintaining a good brand can be difficult. The goal of this book is to provide a thorough and up-to-date coverage of the topics of brands, brand equity, and strategic brand management—the development and implementation of marketing programmes and activities to establish, measure, and manage brand equity. One of the book's main objectives is to educate managers with ideas and procedures for increasing the long-term profitability of their brand initiatives. We combine a solid theoretical foundation with adequate practical insights to aid managers in their day-to-day and long-term brand decisions. We incorporate current thinking and advancements on these themes from both academics and industry participants.

Super Foods and Its Importance in Our Daily Diet (Volume II)

2022-04-09T08:31:59+00:00

What constitutes a "superfood" has no precise definition. Superfoods, on the other hand, are nutrient powerhouses that are high in antioxidants, phytochemicals (plant compounds responsible for colour and scent), vitamins, and minerals. Between 2011 and 2021, the number of new food and drink items with the phrases "superfood," "superfruit," or "super grain" increased dramatically over the world. Superfoods' high vitamin and mineral content can assist your body fight diseases and keep you healthy. These foods, when included in a well-balanced diet, can help with heart health, weight loss, energy levels, and even the effects of ageing. While superfoods are beneficial to your health and supply numerous nutrients that you require on a daily basis, they do not constitute a healthy diet on their own. Eating too much of one type of food might harm your health by preventing you from getting all of the nutrients you require. As a result, superfoods should be supplemented rather than replaced in a well-balanced diet. This book brings together one of the most important superfoods, such as turmeric, pumpkin, seaweeds, chicory root, flaxseed, cinnamon, black rice, chia seeds, dragon fruit, dark green leafy vegetables, and various types of berries, as well as their processing, production, nutritional value, and health benefits. To avoid being misled, it is critical that consumers are informed by qualified scientific sources for those 'superfoods' for which there is sufficient evidence of their beneficial effects on human health, and that they understand that superfoods, which are more likely to be consumed as supplements, may have an adverse effect on their health (e.g. hypotension, pro-oxidative stress, removal from a balanced food, etc.). This book aims to give an educational resource on superfoods for students in Home Science, Food Science, Medical, Pharma, Agriculture, Nutrition and Dietetics, and other related disciplines. This book is the major attraction for common people interested in learning more about superfoods and their health advantages.

A Study on HRD Climate of Textile Industries in Tirupur

2022-03-15T11:31:22+00:00

Tirupur is a major force in the knitwear industry. Tirupur is apparel exporters primarily make and export knitted clothing, with woven clothing having a negligible market share in comparison. In Tirupur, which is known for its cluster activity, most of the activities of garment making are carried out in the outside units, such as knitting units, dye & bleaching units and fabric printing and garmenting as well as other ancillary units. Poor road and other transportation infrastructure, labour
shortages during peak season, outdated machinery, pollution, exchange rate fluctuations, cotton yarn price fluctuations, and an over-reliance on cotton are just some of the issues that the Tirupur textile industry faces.
People's commitment to their work and the organisation can be defined as a measure of their motivation, which is something that the HRD department strives to cultivate in its staff. When HRD's work is done well, it will result in teamwork, the demise of the centralised decisionmaking system, a sense of belonging, and a positive working environment.

A Glossary of Terms Used in Endocrinology

2022-02-26T09:28:58+00:00

From the very first day of our school life till we complete our PG degree, one or the other must have experienced this awkward situation, that though we find one or few topics uninteresting, and difficult to digest, but for the sake of ourselves and the fear of being scolded from our parents, teachers, we robotically learn all of them and try to achieve fruitful grades. A decade earlier, I was going through all this scenario. Being a UG and PG student in Zoology, I and few of my friends always used to sit for group studies to discuss about our syllabi and the books recommended by our teachers. We always used to complain that there must be a book of a kind which would give a clear and instant picture for the terminologies, which we go through in our text or reference books. A decade back, cell phones and internet was stepping into our life; there was no word like android- which is common and popular today. Hardly, one or two of our friend could access the internet. During this transformation period, our only source of information were text books and the lectures delivered by our professors.

Phytoestrogens: An Investigation on Their Synergistic Effects

2022-12-02T12:53:28+00:00

With growing concern about environmental health worldwide, the safety of foods or diet has also received great attention over the years. Consequently, the analysis of chemical composition of various types of vegetables, fruits and other natural plant
derived foods combined with determination of the possible role of various such natural compounds on human and animal health became a major scientific research focus over the last two decades. Phytoestrogens are one class of those natural compounds found in many plant derived foods which exhibit unique biological activities by mimicking the actions of estrogen, a natural hormone available in humans and other mammals. The Estrogens play significant role in reproductive physiology of organisms
possessing them. Therefore, the interference of normal endocrine functions by external agencies or environmental factors has led to the development of the new area of research known as “Environmental Endocrine Disruption”. Tremendous progress of scientific research in this field around the world have produced sufficient evidences in support of both the beneficial and harmful health effects of phytoestrogens in humans and other animals.

These findings, including effects on both reproductive as well as on general health, together with the realisation of presence of multiple such compounds in our everyday diet have led to the research on yet another important concern of their possible synergistic effects. The piece of investigation presented in this book is one of such endeavour to assess the synergistic effects of two most potent phytoestrogens viz., Genistein and Coumestrol. Both in-vivo and in-vitro effects of these compounds have been studied using Ovariectomized Albino Mice and Recombinant Yeast Cells containing gene for Estrogen Receptor respectively. Interestingly, the findings revealed synergistic effects of the compounds for certain parameters while antagonistic effects for others either in the presence or absence of estrogen.

We sincerely believe that this book will be of great value and a research guide for all of us especially to the environmentalists. I hereby offer my sincere thanks to all the learned academicians, researchers across the country who contributed to this book and enriched it with their valuable inputs.

A Text Book of HCCI Engines

2022-01-25T07:21:50+00:00

The internal combustion engine has been the most successful device in delivering benefits to the different communities of the world. Reciprocating the IC engine is certainly the best apparatus in some aspects compared to its counterparts. Still, the processes of these IC engines are seeking developments vowing to the commercialization for a better place in the society. The progress has been well related to engine combustion processes in terms of fuel-saving or minimization of losses. However, there are certainly other possibilities for improvement of these engines concerning the basic design which involves the types of fuel injection, better intake of air, fuel-air mixing, etc. The engine redesign or modifications are also a field of interest due to strict restrictions by the emission legislation. The internal combustion engines release harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The harmful emissions are major causes of smog formation, global warming, and environmental pollution. Transportation of vehicles such as heavy trucks, buses, and trains generates a large number of emissions that are oxides of nitrogen, particulate matters, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide. It contaminates the fresh air in the atmosphere, the air gets polluted and pollution is increasing every day along with the development (or) manufacture of the vehicles. The developing countries are facing the major issue is increasing environmental pollution. The metropolitan cities in INDIA, such as Bombay, Calcutta, Kanpur, Madras, and Delhi are facing smog formation, especially in the winter season.

Knowledge Management in Indian Enterprises

2022-01-10T08:04:37+00:00

In the current climate of increasing global competition, the value of Knowledge and learning in improving organizational competence cannot be overestimated. Managers are attempting to use Knowledge to sustain organizational performance and to gain market share. Effective Knowledge Management is indeed critical, as SMEs strive to enhance their competency and to gain economic edge. An increasing number of firms are realizing that Knowledge Management can be used to create business value, generate competitive advantage and achieve business goals and to develop greater value from the core competencies of the business. Knowledge management research is fragmented across a variety of disciplines. Companies attempting to deploy Knowledge Management may be confused by the variety of efforts under way that all in the name of Knowledge Management. Many companies have tried, with mixed success, to leverage Knowledge assets by centralizing Knowledge Management functions or by investing heavily in information technology. Caught up in general fever, many managers may assume that Knowledge Management can improve their companies. This assumption should be validated by using empirical tests. The key question is not whether to manage Knowledge but how to manage it. In the 21st century, as some argue, the main competitive advantage that companies have is connected to the knowledge they hold and how they utilize this knowledge. Effective implementation of KM practices has become a key strategy for improving organizational performance since suitable management and application of knowledge can assist organizations to be more creative, intelligent and better able to adapt to an ever changing business climate.

Political Institutions and Practices in India

2021-12-24T05:39:28+00:00

The dominion of India was reborn on January 26, 1950, as a sovereign democratic republic and a union of states. With universal adult franchise, India’s electorate was the world’s largest, but the traditional feudal roots of most of its illiterate populace were deep, just as their religious caste beliefs were to remain far more powerful than more recent exotic ideas, such as secular statehood. Elections were to be held, however, at least every five years, and the major model of government followed by India’s constitution was that of British parliamentary rule, with a lower House of the People (Lok Sabha), in which an elected prime minister and a cabinet sat, and an upper Council of States (Rajya Sabha). Nehru led his ruling Congress Party from New Delhi’s Lok Sabha until his death in 1964. The nominal head of India’s republic, however, was a president, who was indirectly elected. India’s first two presidents were Hindu Brahmans, Rajendra Prasad and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the latter a distinguished Sanskrit scholar who had lectured at the University of Oxford. Presidential powers were mostly ceremonial, except for brief periods of “emergency” rule, when the nation’s security was believed to be in great danger and normal constitutional procedures and civil rights were feared to be too cumbersome or threatening.

Policies and Practices at Secondary and Higher Secondary Level

2021-12-21T04:28:52+00:00

Research in every field and more so in the field of education is demand of the day. Progress in any field is directly linked with research in that field. Our problems and difficulties in the field of education further necessitate a purposeful and sustained research effort. We need a large number of research schools who may take up the huge task of providing new directions to our education theories and practices. Educational planning has to be based on sound research findings. The researches carried out at other places may also help us in any ways but we cannot always depend on the borrowed and imported stuff. We have to adopt an Indianite approach to the problems and requirements of Indian Education. Thus we have largely depend on researches carried out on our own soil by our own research scholars. The educational programs of modern India can’t be run on age old lines. So long as our research effort in education remains poor we shall continue to be counted as on educationally backward nation. Educational reform and progress necessitate a dedicated and competent team of research scholars. Department of education set up by various universities, various colleges of education and May other institutions and agencies are engaged in the task of preparing and training prospective research workers. They have already at their disposal huge stocks of variety of relevant reference and reading materials. In this view we prepared this work to help the readers and students of M.Ed. and Ph. d. Courses.

Molecular Plant Pathology

2022-03-10T05:40:48+00:00

Pathogen Profiles of plant pathogenic fungus can be found in Molecular Plant Pathology. Each review includes a brief synopsis of pathogen taxonomy, life cycle, and host range. Disease symptoms and disease management measures may also be given. Useful References and weblinks are listed in chapter. Each chapter to discuss the in detail, presenting the latest research and strategies for future work. Plant pathogenic fungus penetrate the plant in search of food, which they are unable to produce. Biotrophic fungi invade live matter, whereas necrotrophic fungus kill plant cells and extract nutrients from dead plant matter. Many fungi have complex lifecycles that include both sexual and asexual stages that result in spore formation. Once released, these small spores can quickly disperse or remain in the soil for several years, putting future crops at risk. The book discusses plant pathology research, including molecular features such as plant-pathogen interactions. The Book covers research concerning plant pathology, in particular its molecular aspects such as plant-pathogen interactions.

Development of Intelligent Prediction System using Data Mining Techniques

2021-12-17T07:59:43+00:00

Now a day’s, everything is being done through electronic media which generates huge amount of data in every moment. Most of the time, data are not static rather they are dynamic and transactional in nature. Retrieval of some interesting information from generated data is a very challenging task. Generally, each data set contains a large number of instances with huge number of features. Therefore, relevant feature selection and classification is one of the main objectives of data mining technique for knowledge discovery both in static and dynamic environment. Though many research works have been conducted for the data analysis of static and incremental data, still it is an ongoing research to handle with newly generated high dimensional data sets to obtain meaningful interpretations. The concerned issues are major requirements and challenges have been addressed in the book by developing optimal feature selection and classification algorithms using the concept of Rough Set Theory, Graph Theory, Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and so on. Developed algorithms have been applied in various benchmark datasets and in the real world agricultural field to classify and predict efficiently the unknown objects as a task for data analysis. All the methods are very useful with respect to Big Data analytics as it provides the optimal solutions.

This book is primarily intended to serve as a reference book for graduate and master degree students of computer science domain and researchers of any domain of various Colleges and Universities. We hope this book will provide the necessary guidance to the students to work on this data analysis domain. The book is actually an outgrowth of our research experience for the last several years.

आधुनिक शिक्षणातील प्रचलित प्रवाह

2021-12-04T09:29:00+00:00

वर्तमान काळात शिक्षण क्षेत्रात नवनवीन प्रयोग होत आहेत. समाज हे प्रयोग आणि बदल स्वीकारण्याच्या मनस्थितीत असतो. जागतिक पातळीवर आपल्याला सर्वांगीण प्रभाव निर्माण करायचा असेल तर विशेष करून शैक्षणिक प्रयोग, प्रगती व विस्तारावर विशेष भर द्यावा लागेल. याच बरोबर वर्तमान स्थितीत जे शिक्षणाचे प्रवाह प्रचलित आहेत त्यांच्यातही काही नवे बदल करता येतील का याचाही विचार झाला पाहिजे. आधुनिक काळात संगणक आणि इन्टरनेट मुळे जग जवळ आले आहे. जी हवी ती माहिती गुगल मुळे क्षणात उपलब्ध होते. तंत्रज्ञानाने सर्व समाज व्यापला आहे. यामुळे त्या गतीने वैचारिक परिवर्तन अपेक्षित असते. हे वैचारिक परिवर्तन फक्त शिक्षणामुळे होत असते. या सर्व गोष्टींचा विचार करता आधुनिक काळातील शिक्षणातील काही प्रचलित प्रवाहांचा उहापोह करण्याचा प्रयत्न प्रस्तुत पुस्तकात लेखकाने केलेला आहे.

Decision Making in Risk Management

2022-05-04T12:09:25+00:00

Risk management decision making is selecting the best alternatives or ranking the alternatives for a specific risk management goal. For example, identifying risks face is risk management. Choosing the best method to identify risk with the aim to expedite the risk management process is risk management decision making. Project risk management is regarded as a necessary imension of effective project delivery. Current practices tend to focus on tangible issues such as late delivery of equipment or the implications of technology. This book introduces a framework to identify emergent behavior-centric intangible risks and the conditions that initiate them. The book identifies the quantitative measures to assess behavior induced risks by presenting a framework that limits the interpersonal tension of addressing behavioral risks. Included in the book is an illustrative case study in the oil and gas sector that demonstrates the use of the framework. The missing dimension of behavior-centric intangible risk factors in current risk identification is explored. The book goes on to cover management processes, providing a systematic analytical approach to mitigate subjectivity when addressing behavioral risks in projects. Seeking to bridge the current gap in literature by providing a tested framework, this book is useful to those working in the field of project Management, System Engineering, Risk Management and Behavioral Science. Citing practical examples, charts, and checklists, the authors break the risk-based decision making process into five key components: establishing the decision structure, performing the risk assessment, managing sufficient risks, monitoring effectiveness of adopted risk controls through impact assessment, and facilitating risk communication. They examine each component in detail and outline available decision analysis and risk assessment tools that aid in each of these risk-based decision making functions.

Sociology Present-Day: Social Transformations in India

2021-11-29T10:13:18+00:00

The concept of social change is extremely broad. It is a constellation of change processes in human society in terms of place, time, and context. Because it is so wide, it is guaranteed to be imprecise, speculative, and value-neutral. In this course, we will investigate the processes and patterns of social change and mobility in Indian society. Mahatma Gandhi's ideas and efforts to bring about a nonviolent social change in Indian society will be given special consideration.

In India, the process of social transformation has been conceptualised as a shift of numerous parts of society - structure, culture, institution, philosophy, and so on. The ideological goals of social transformation in India could be described as'revolutionary' in content and 'evolutionary' in technique. The leaders of the Indian freedom struggle envisioned how social structure, history, and tradition, which constitute society's basic state, would constrain the strategies, aims, and techniques of social reform.

Initially, colonialism and indology affected Indian sociology. Following independence, Indian sociology shifted toward indigenization on the one hand, and critical evaluation of Western theories, concepts, and techniques of study on the other. The use of indigenous writings, sources, and observations decreased the Western influence on Indian sociology. The thought of the founding founders of Indian sociology gave sociology in India a multiple and multifaceted focus.

महिला आणि त्यांचे कायदेविषयक अधिकार

2021-10-27T16:50:07+00:00

पुर्वी महिलांना कोणत्याही प्रकारचे अधिकार नव्हते. चार भिंतीच्या बाहेर त्या जाऊ शकत नव्हत्या. पुरुषप्रधान वर्चस्वामुळे त्यांना दुय्यम स्वरुपाचे स्थान देण्यात येत होते. स्त्री-पुरुष समानता नव्हती. महिला सक्षमीकरणासाठी न्या. रानडे, आगरकर, राजा राममोहन रॉय यांनी फार मोठे योगदान दिले आहे. तसेच समाजातील महिला सक्षम होण्यासाठी महात्मा फुले, राजर्षी शाहु महाराज, कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटील यांनी मुलींसाठी शाळा सुरु केल्यात. महिला शिकल्यामुळे त्या स्वावलंबी होत आहेत. विविध क्षेत्रामध्ये त्या नैपुण्य प्राप्त करीत आहेत. हे करीत असतांना त्यांना अनेक समस्यांना तोंड द्यावे लागत आहे. भारतीय संस्कृती ही जगात सर्वश्रेष्ठ असल्यामुळे महिला सक्षम होणे गरजेचे आहे. भारतीय राज्यघटनेत महिलांसाठी विविध कायदे करण्यात आले आहेत. तसेच महिला सबलीकरणासाठी शासनाकडून ज्या विविध उपाययोजना केल्या जात आहेत त्यांची माहिती प्रस्तुत ग्रंथामध्ये करण्यात आली असुन मानवी हक्क, महिलांचे घटनात्मक व कायदेविषयक अधिकार, अल्पबचत योजनेद्वारा महिलांच्या आर्थिक व सामाजिक विकास, पंचायतराज व ग्रामीण विकास, धर्मनिरपेक्षता आणि भारतीय लोकशाहीची पायाभरणी व ब्रिटीश कालीन कायदे यांची मांडणी या ग्रंथात करण्यात आली आहे. या ग्रंथाच्या लेखन कार्यास मला अनेक मित्र व हितचिंतकांचे मोलाचे मार्गदर्शन व सहकार्य लाभले. त्याबद्दल सर्वांच्या प्रती कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करणे हे माझे कर्तव्य समजतो. माझ्या लेखन कार्यास माझे गुरुवर्य अप्पासाहेब प्राचार्य डॉ. पी.डी. देवरे यांची प्रेरणा लाभली आहे. श्री. शि.वि.प्र. संस्थेचे अध्यक्ष आमदार बाबासो श्री. कुणाल पाटील, उपाध्यक्ष डॉ. संजय पाटील, शिंदखेडा महाविद्यालयाचे अध्यक्ष श्री. प्रफुल्लकुमार सिसोदे, उपाध्यक्ष श्री. अशोक पाटील, प्रशासकीय अधिकारी श्री. प्रमोद पाटील, महाविद्यालयाचे प्राचार्य डॉ. मनोहरराव पाटील, डॉ. सुधीर पाटील, व्यवस्थापन परिषद सदस्य डॉ. मोहन पावरा, प्राचार्य डॉ. एस.टी सोनवणे, एन. मुक्टोचे मा. अध्यक्ष प्रा.डॉ. संजय सोनवणे, प्राचार्य डॉ. एम.व्ही. पाटील, प्राचार्य सी.व्ही. पाटील, ज्येष्ठ प्रा. डॉ. पी.यु. नेरपगार, प्रा. ए.डी. पाटील, प्राचार्य डॉ. एम.एच. शिंदे, प्राचार्य डॉ. अशोक खौरनार, प्राचार्य डॉ. राजेंद्र अहिरे, प्राचार्य डॉ. बी.आर. चौधरी, प्रा.वाय.एन. साळुंके, प्रोफेसर डॉ. सुरेंद्र मोरे, उपप्राचार्य डॉ. एस.व्ही. बोरसे, प्रा. ए.आर. पाटील, प्रा. के.व्ही. महाले, प्रा. शशीकांत बोरसे, डॉ. रवि वाघ, केंद्रीय एन. मुक्टोचे सचिव डॉ. जितेंद्र तलवारे, प्रा. डॉ. एस.के. जाधव प्रा. डॉ. दिपक पाटील तसेच महाविद्यालयातील शिक्षक व शिक्षकेतर कर्मचाज्यांचे सहकार्य लाभले.

हिन्दी साहित्य का इतिहास

2021-11-23T07:45:11+00:00

हिन्दी साहित्य के अब तक लिखे गए इतिहासों में आचार्य रामचन्द्र शुक्ल द्वारा लिखे गए हिन्दी साहित्य का इतिहास को सबसे प्रामाणिक तथा व्यवस्थित इतिहास माना जाता है। आचार्य शुक्ल जी ने इसे हिन्दी शब्दसागर की भूमिका के रूप में लिखा था जिसे बाद में स्वतंत्र पुस्तक के रूप में १९२९ ई० में प्रकाशित आंतरित कराया गया। आचार्य शुक्ल ने गहन शोध और चिन्तन के बाद हिन्दी साहित्य के पूरे इतिहास पर विहंगम दृष्टि डाली है।

इतिहास-लेखन में आचार्य रामचन्द्र शुक्ल एक ऐसी क्रमिक पद्धति का अनुसरण करते हैं जो अपना मार्ग स्वयं प्रशस्त करती चलती है। विवेचन में तर्क का क्रमबद्ध विकास ऐसे है कि तर्क का एक-एक चरण एक-दूसरे से जुड़ा हुआ, एक-दूसरे में से निकलता दिखता है। लेखक को अपने तर्क पर इतना गहन विश्वास है कि आवेश की उसे अपेक्षा नहीं रह जाती।

आदिकाल से लेकर आधुनिक काल तक आचार्य शुक्ल का इतिहास इसी प्रकार तथ्याश्रित और तर्कसम्मत रूप में चलता है। अपनी आरम्भिक उपपत्ति में आचार्य शुक्ल ने बताया है कि साहित्य जनता की चित्तवृत्ति का संचित प्रतिबिम्बित होता है। इन्हीं चित्तवृत्तियों की परम्परा को परखते हुए साहित्य-परम्परा के साथ उनका सामंजस्य दिखाने में आचार्य शुक्ल का इतिहास और आलोचना-कर्म निहित है।

इस इतिहास की एक बड़ी विशेषता है कि आधुनिक काल के सन्दर्भ में पहुँचकर शुक्ल जी ने यूरोपीय साहित्य का एक विस्तृत, यद्यपि कि सांकेतिक ही, परिदृश्य खड़ा किया है। इससे उनके ऐतिहासिक विवेचन में स्रोत, सम्पर्क और प्रभावों की समझ स्पष्टतर होती है।

Exhibiting Transition Through Poetry

2021-10-28T06:03:42+00:00

Blake's songs of Innocence and Experience make it clear that the innocent in the world of youth are prone to man in a world of corruption and oppression; while poems such as "The Lamb" create a gentle beauty, poems like "The Tiger" show off their opposing, dark forces. In the end the perfect combination looks for money and the barriers to good ideas on the field. Some poems fall in pairs, so that the same situation or difficulty is seen with a pure eye first after what has happened. Blake doesn't get it completely with each idea; the sheer number of poems is astonishing - this, in the voice of a speaker other than the poet himself. Blake stands without purity and enjoys, in a remote place where he hopes a better way to catch and correct each other's mistakes. In particular, it is embroiled in a contest of dictatorship, morality, sexual oppression, and organized religion; his amazing understanding is in the process of these different ways of holding paintings together for the most sacred plaque to the people.

Fundamentals of Library Science

2023-06-23T05:11:25+00:00

Libraries are democratic institutions that exist for the enjoyment and benefit of all. As a result, the best strategies for promoting library use have received a lot of attention in recent years. How can libraries entice more people to visit? How can all classes have access to the facilities for using them? The best ways to help people who want to use libraries and time-saving strategies for readers and library staff are a couple of the issues that need to be addressed.

S. R. Ranganathan outlined the fundamentals of running a library system in his 1931 theory, “The Five Laws of Library Science” The laws are widely acknowledged as the cornerstones of the philosophy of many librarians from around the world. According to Ranganathan's The Five Laws of Library Science, these rules are as follows:

1. Books are for use.
2. Every person his or her book.
3. Every book its reader.
4. Save the time of the reader.
5. A library is a growing organism.

The purpose of the Fundamental of Library Science Book is to cultivate students' capacity for critical thought, particularly with regard to the objectives of libraries and information centres. in order to prepare students for careers in libraries and information services. to teach students how to manage information resources (both printed and digital). to make information sources easier to provide and access. to teach students how to access, manage, service, and archive information using information technology tools and techniques. to advance library and information science's current state of knowledge through extension, research, and publication efforts.

Climate Change and GIS Based Agriculture Mapping in Kerala

2021-10-18T07:29:09+00:00

When population growth expands at geometric proportion on a Global scale, results in enhanced pressure on land and its scarce natural resources. International agencies like the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) forecasts that global food production will need to increase by 70% if the population reaches 9.1bn by 2050. Moreover, many developing countries like Brazil and China are now categorised as rich nations whose population started increasing its consumption especially meat and dairy products. As per rough estimates, it takes five times as much grain to produce one kilo of meat which could have been sold in the market. This increase in consumption is stimulated by globalisation induced economic growth which also altered the prevailing food supply chain. The present food supply chain now involves more countries as each entity specialises on one operation – production, processing, and packing.

This book looks at the use Geographical Information System in devising resource-based strategies and to enhance productivity in this sector. This study is restricted to the region that is regarded as the ‘Rice Bowl of Kerala’ – Kuttanad.

Role of Robotics, Automation and Artificial Intelligence in Business

2021-10-14T12:46:46+00:00

In the last ten years, information technology and its applications have progressed fast. This has shaped both our worldview and how we conduct business. Both business and trade have profited from the surge of information technology, which has improved efficiency, production, and the bottom line. Gains in productivity have made it possible to produce large numbers of things in a timely and correct manner. Emerging "third-platform" technologies like data analytics, mobile devices, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) are fundamentally altering how society and individuals interact. A microcosm of how new software solutions, machine learning, and big-data analytics are altering the game may be found in the usage of marketing. This article examines the shifting landscape of marketing, particularly digital marketing. The study goes on to analyse the various areas of digital marketing where artificial intelligence has made an impact.

An Introduction to Accounting

2021-09-30T08:43:29+00:00

Accounting is a system meant for measuring business activities, processing of information into reports and making the findings available to decision-makers. The documents, which communicate these findings about the performance of an organisation in monetary terms, are called financial statements. Usually, accounting is understood as the Language of Business. However, a business may have a lot of aspects which may not be of financial nature. As such, a better way to understand accounting could be to call it The Language of Financial Decisions. The better the understanding of the language, the better is the management of financial aspects of living. Many aspects of our lives are based on accounting, personal financial planning, investments, income-tax, loans, etc. We have different roles to perform in life-the role of a student, of a family head, of a manager, of an investor, etc. The knowledge of accounting is an added advantage in performing different roles. However, we shall limit our scope of discussion to a business organisation and the various financial aspects of such an organisation.

In the present book “An Introduction to Accounting” an attempt is made to provide the knowledge of accounting from the beginning to preparation of final accounts and further application of accounting knowledge while accounting for various organisations such as Partnership Accounting, Company Accounting and understanding the relevance of Accounting Standards.

A Textbook on Quantum Chemistry

2021-10-04T11:38:15+00:00

I honestly gratitude to the Post Graduate students of Fakir Mohan University, Balasore as well as graduate students of AIMS College, Sambalpur for tempting me to complete this manuscript. Initially, I did not have any intention to complete this manuscript as a graduation and post-graduation level textbook but encouragement of students helps me to convert it into textbook. The basic materials of this textbook are based on from my lecturers of postgraduates as well as undergraduates for several years. This textbook is primarily intended for the students of undergraduate and postgraduate students. This book covers complete mathematical explanation of all chapters which is not found any other textbook. A mathematically dull student of undergraduate and postgraduate can understand the quantum chemistry without any hesitation. All mathematical problems are derived completely which is the unique of this textbook.

Principal of Management

2021-09-21T07:43:28+00:00

Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. The table of contents of this book was designed to address two main themes. What are the variables that affect how, when, where, and why managers perform their jobs? What theories and techniques are used by successful managers at a variety of organizational levels to achieve and exceed objectives effectively and efficiently throughout their careers? Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters. Finally, we all made an effort to present a balanced approach to gender and diversity throughout the text in the examples used, the photographs selected, and the use of both male (odd-numbered chapters) and female (even-numbered chapters) when referring to generic managers or employees.

This book entitled “Fundamentals of Mycopathology” is designed and written as a text book for undergraduate students of Botany as per UGC Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) curriculum, taught at various colleges of Indian Universities. Mycopathology is a branch of plant science which deals with the study of fungi and disease of plant caused by pathogens (i.e. fungi, bacteria virus etc.) with their control measures. Fungi are heterotrophic thallophytic eukaryotic organisms found in every ecological niche as saprophytic, parasitic and symbiotic. The economic importance of fungi is equally impressive with uses in the food and beverage industries, agriculture, the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and medicine. This book intends to provide an overview of different fungal groups and their mode of life cycle. This book also provides a brief account of plant pathogen interaction, disease development and control measures. This book focused on various chapters of mycology and phytopathology as per undergraduate curriculum in Botany according to Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) of U.G.C. These chapters includes fungal general account, mode of nutrition and classification in (Chapter 1), Fungal diversity and their life cycle in (Chapter 2, 3, 4 and 5), Fungal symbiosis association and its importance in (Chapter 6), Applied mycology for modern pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries in (Chapter 7), Some common terminology on Mycology and Plant Pathology in (Chapter 8 and 10) and General account of plant pathology in (Chapter 9). I hope the book “Fundamentals of Mycopathology” truly fulfils its objective.

FPGA Based Reconfigurable Hardware Architecture for Quality Access Control of Images and Coupling in Fiber Optics Communication

2021-09-03T07:32:42+00:00

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity to electromagnetic interference are required. This type of communication can transmit voice, video, and telemetry through local area networks, computer networks, or across long distances. Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached internet speeds of over 100 peta bit ×kilometer per second using fiber-optic communication.

MALL, MEDIA, AND ITS IMPACT ON CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOUR

2021-09-04T09:58:37+00:00

Social media enjoy a phenomenal success in terms of adoption and usage levels. They cause paradigm shifts on how people connect and communicate with each other, on how they express and share ideas, and even on how they engage with products, brands, and organizations. Moreover, social media became significant networks of consumer knowledge. In travel and tourism, the impacts of social media have already been described as tremendous, primarily due to the experiential nature of tourism products, and especially of holiday trips: purchases are considered risky and therefore decision making processes are information intensive.

This study makes four contributions to knowledge. First, to consumer behaviour theory by proposing information exchange as an enlarged consumer behaviour construct consisting of nine components. Second, to the theory of technology fluidity. Fluidity, from being a characteristic of a specific technology, is now proposed as a characteristic of the sets of behaviour and cognitive functions associated with the use of the specific technology or medium. Third, to social media related research in the context of holiday travel by identifying six functional spaces that enclose active users’ specific behaviour and cognitive functions: inspiration, collaboration, decision making, self-expression, communication, and entertainment. Fourth, by proposing the social media enabled travel process model as a framework for understanding use and impact of social media throughout the holiday travel process. A number of implications for practice, as well as emerging areas for future research are drawn.

The Ashwagandha is a customary plant found in the Indian subcontinent. It is customarily utilized for Ayurveda. The word Ashwagandha is gotten from the Sanskrit words Ashwa (pony) and Gandha (smell). This is on the grounds that its foundations smell like the perspiration of a pony. Ashwagandha helps in the administration of stress, uneasiness and diabetes because of its Rasayana (restoring) and Vata adjusting properties.

Turmeric is a curry spice that originated from India, which has attracted great interest in recent decades because it contains bioactive curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and isdemethoxycurcumin). Curcumin (1,7-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-hepta-1,6-diene-3,5-dione), a lipophilic polyphenol may work as an anticancer, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging agent as suggested by several in vitro, in vivo studies and clinical trials. However, poor aqueous solubility, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetic profiles limit curcumin’s therapeutic usage. To address these issues, several curcumin formulations have been developed.

The people of Meghalaya are very close to nature, and forests are one of the important natural resources in the state. The tribes of the state largely depend on forests for their livelihood and have acquired a vast knowledge about plant wealth and utilization of forest products. The present communication aims to document the traditional knowledge about wild edible plants used by tribal people of Meghalaya. During present investigation, a total of 249 species of wild edibles belonging to 153 genera and 82 families were inventorised. Among them 129 are trees, 54 shrubs, 37 herbs and 29 climbers.

Medicinal plants are considered as rich resources of ingredients which can be used in drug development pharmacopoeial, non-pharmacopoeial or synthetic drugs. A part from that, these plants play a critical role in the development of human cultures around the whole world.

Natural products with medicinal value are gradually gaining importance in clinical research due to their well-known property of no side effects as compared to drugs. Tinospora cordifolia commonly named as “Guduchi” is known for its immense application in the treatment of various diseases in the traditional ayurvedic literature.

Indian Economy: Exploring New Economic Opportunities in Post-Pandemic World

2021-09-27T07:25:44+00:00

The impact of coronavirus pandemic on India has been largely disruptive in terms of economic activity as well as a loss of human lives. Almost all the sectors have been adversely affected as domestic demand and exports sharply plummeted with some notable exceptions where high growth was observed. RBI and Finance Minister announced measures will help the industry and the employees in the short term. Insulating the rural food production areas in the coming weeks will hold a great answer to the macro impact of COVID-19 on Indian food sector as well as larger economy. After growing at very high rates for years, India’s economy had already begun to slow down before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Between FY17 and FY20, growth decelerated from 8.3 percent to 4.0 percent, with weaknesses in the financial sector compounded by a decline in the growth of private consumption.

Supramolecular Chemistry

2023-10-13T05:27:27+00:00

Supramolecular Chemistry is a current, integrated textbook that teaches newcomers to the field everything they need to know. The book assumes little prior knowledge and covers the concepts underlying the subject, its breadth, applications, and the most recent contemporary thinking in the field. It also covers the more critical experimental and instrumental techniques required by supramolecular chemists. Supramolecular structures are discussed in the context of their common field, with an emphasis on the most recent, up-to-date research findings. It uses concise, self-contained chapters to discuss the interactions of several molecules and their properties, functions, and applications to molecular aggregates and molecular assemblies, beginning with simple complex-forming compounds and progressing to complex supramolecules and superstructures.

This method emphasises its close relationship to physics, physical chemistry, and biochemistry, highlighting its multidisciplinary nature. This book offers a straightforward and timely introduction to the exciting interdisciplinary field of supramolecular chemistry. Beginning with the principles that explain how molecules recognise one another and self-assemble non-covalently, an overview of how these concepts can be used to create complex supramolecular architectures is provided. Thus, one learns how to design functional molecular systems such as switches, motors, transporters, catalysts, chemosensors, and many other things.

Biochemistry

2021-09-21T11:12:05+00:00

Biochemistry is a relatively young science, but its rate of growth has been truly impressive. The rapid pace of discoveries, which shows no sign of slowing, is reflected in the steady increase in the size of biochemistry textbooks. Growing faster than the size of biochemistry books have been the skyrocketing costs of higher education and the even faster rising costs of college textbooks. These unfortunate realities have created a situation where the costs of going to college are beyond the means of increasing numbers of students.

We have aimed to provide a more thorough coverage of topics than in Biochemistry Free and Easy, but we do not aim to provide an encyclopedic biochemistry tome covering content that no instructor would fully cover in a single course. Neither do we aim to be the “go to” source for information on biochemistry. This is not a reference work. Consequently, we have focused on core concepts with key information.

Introduction to Basic Marketing Concepts

2021-11-25T13:24:53+00:00

As per Peter Drucker, every business has only two functions, viz; Marketing and Innovation. Marketing as a concept has American Origin. Symbolically, we can say that it entered India, with the formation of the first Management institute/program. In India, Marketing has kept pace along with the development of the country/ economy. Marketing-1.0 and 2.0 could be the first two decades after independence, along with White and Green revolutions, during which, we were exposed to international trends in business. Marketing 3.0 persisted up to 1991 gradually gaining importance as a concept and science. Marketing 4.0 started during and after liberalization, exposing our businesses to international trends and competition and the introduction of Retailing (Mall culture). The beginning of the 21st century with launching of Social and Digital Media has transformed the Marketing Function to an altogether high level, particularly for and by the Millennial Generation. To sum up, while we are talking about Management-4.0, Marketing is looking at individual customers and their need satisfaction, at the same time, focusing on social Marketing and exchange of products/services for the betterment of the society as a whole and contribute to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of UNO (Marketing5.0).

Environment in 21st Century

2021-07-24T17:14:36+00:00

Environmental awareness among the public and policymakers has been growing since the 1960s, when it became widely recognized that human activities were having harmful and large-scale effects on the environment. Scientific and engineering research is also playing an increasing role in both understanding and protecting the environment. Research has demonstrated the importance of the environment to human health and well-being as well as the economic, social, and aesthetic harm that can stem from poor environmental practices. Research has suggested ways to curb harmful practices without incurring excessive costs. For example, scientific and engineering research has provided cost-effective ways to reduce the pollution in air and water in the United States; has demonstrated the importance of areas, such as wetlands, that were once considered of little value to human societies; and has helped to preserve natural ecosystems and the species that inhabit them.

Environment in 21st Century

2021-07-23T17:06:14+00:00

The environment is all that is present surrounding us. All living organisms on this earth live naturally in the environment. But in the current global scenario, it has been observed that human beings and their certain activities are continuously affecting mother nature in a negative way. As such, in the 21^st century our environment is facing lots of problems like climate change, depletion of natural resources, ozone layer depletion, pollution, population explosion, different diseases including COVID-19, extinction of species due to exploitation mostly by human, etc. It is high time to rescue our environment and to help it maintain in a sustainable way for our next generations. The various chapters included in this book are from different areas of environment studies like Human population and environment, the impact of COVID-19 on the environment, environmental degradation and challenges faced during the 21^st century, waste management, pollution, environmental laws, etc. I sincerely hope that this book will be of great help and support to all the teachers, students, researchers, foresters, other activists who are directly and indirectly associated with environmental studies and its protection.

CLINICAL SYNOPSIS OF COVID-19

2021-08-25T07:39:03+00:00

Coronavirus (COVID-19) disease is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. Symptoms such as cough, fever, and more severe cases include respiratory illness (flu-like). The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a global pandemic about the new coronavirus, which has spread to at least 217 countries and territories known as COVID-19. Of those, more than 18892 died and 422614 infected. This article contains a short overview of the coronavirus and its affected countries. There is also a short analysis of the Coronavirus. Finally, Corona has tried to figure out how to prevent the virus.

Coronaviruses are important human and animal pathogens. At the end of 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified as the cause of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei Province of China. It rapidly spread, resulting in an epidemic throughout China, followed by an increasing number of cases in other countries throughout the world. In February 2020, the World Health Organization designated the disease COVID-19, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019 [1]. The virus that causes COVID-19 is designated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); previously, it was referred to as 2019-nCoV.

Criminology, Penology & Victimology - An Overview

2021-07-05T11:16:59+00:00

The criminal justice system is comprised of numerous interrelated pillars, like academia, law enforcement, forensic services, the judiciary, and corrections. These pillars are required to ensure the rule of law and justice for all. Legal justice is the consequence of shaping the rights of individuals with the government’s equivalent duty to safeguard and defend those rights – referred to as due process. These constitutional prerogatives cannot be given and secured without the enduring assurances of those professionals working in the criminal justice system. Subsequently, such professionals must imbibe themselves to the virtuous principles of the criminal justice system and showcase the persistent veracity in their personality. This can only be accomplished with the help of a well-intentioned and fully defined code of professional ethics that provides capability, consistency, culpability, and overall credibility – when properly controlled.

Research Methodology (A Guide for Scholars)

2021-08-20T16:32:17+00:00

This book is based upon my experiences in research as a student, practitioner and teacher. The difficulties I faced in understanding research as a student, my discoveries about what was applicable and inapplicable in the field as a practitioner, and my development of the ability effectively to communicate difficult concepts in simple language without sacrificing technicality and accuracy as a teacher have become the basis of this book. Research methodology is taught as a supporting subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as health, education, psychology, social work, nursing, public health, library studies and marketing research. The core philosophical base for this book comes from my conviction that, although these disciplines vary in content, their broad approach to a research enquiry is similar. This book, therefore, is addressed to these academic disciplines. It is true that some disciplines place greater emphasis on quantitative research and some on qualitative research. My own approach to research is a combination of both. Firstly, it is the objective that should decide whether a study be carried out adopting a qualitative or a quantitative approach. Secondly, in real life most research is a combination of both methods. Though they differ in the philosophy that underpins their mode of enquiry, to a great extent their broad approach to enquiry is similar. The quantitative research process is reasonably well structured whereas the qualitative one is fairly unstructured, and these are their respective strengths as well as weaknesses. I strongly believe that both are important to portray a complete picture. In addition, there are aspects of quantitative research that are qualitative in nature. It depends upon how a piece of information has been collected and analyzed.

Key Notes on Agriculture Chemistry and Soil Science

2021-11-29T10:47:26+00:00

Soil erosion is agriculture’s enemy: a major environmental threat to sustainability and productivity with knock-on effects on the climate crisis and food security. Soil is the most fundamental and basic natural resource for all life to survive. Water and wind erosion are two main agents that degrade soils. Runoff washes away the soil particles from sloping and bare lands while wind blows away loose and detached soil particles from flat and unprotected lands. Geologic erosion is a normal process of weathering that generally occurs at low rates in all soils as part of the natural soil-forming processes. Magnitude and the impacts of soil erosion on productivity depend on soil profile and horizonation, terrain, soil management, and climate characteristics. There are so many factors and processes are responsible for soil erosion. For sustainable agriculture and environment, it is pertinent to protect the soil resources against erosion. Different control measures should be adopted to protect the soil resources against erosion.

Medical virology is always an interest to all healthcare disciplines, undergraduate and postgraduate students. These “Notes on Medical virology”, includes “what you really need to know”. The book comes in a new format, which places cases, keywords, facts and other considerations in colored tables and boxes only. As a result, extra spaces have been provided so that without expanding the length of the book the readers can enjoy a personal and practical learning experience. Medical Microbiology begins with a review of the immune system, focusing on the body's response to invading microorganisms. Bacteria are then covered, first with a series of chapters presenting the general concepts of bacterial microbiology and then with chapters detailing the major bacterial pathogenes of humans. Similar sections cover virology, mycology, and parasitology. In each section, the introductory chapters stress the mechanisms of infection characteristic of that type of microorganism, thus providing the reader with a framework for understanding rather than memorizing the clinical behavior of the pathogens. The final section of the book Introduction to Infectious Diseases, is arranged by organ system and provides transition for clinical considerations.

Human Resource Beginning Management

2021-07-21T11:09:17+00:00

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a collective term for all the formal systems created to help in managing employees and other stakeholders within a company. Human resource management is tasked with three main functions, namely, the recruitment and compensation of employees, and designating work. Ideally, the role of HRM is to find the best way to increase the productivity of an organization through its employees. Despite the ever-increasing rate of change in the corporate world, the HRM role is not likely to change in a significant way.
Human resource management does not just handle the recruitment of new employees; it also oversees redundancy for companies that want to downsize. HR management also oversees orientation programs to introduce new employees to the company’s goals, objectives, and policies. Overall, human resource management guarantees the smooth running of employees within a company.

Surface Chemistry

2021-08-14T09:12:51+00:00

Surface chemistry plays an important role in everyday life, as the basis for many phenomena as well as technological applications. Common examples range from soap bubbles, foam, and raindrops to cosmetics, paint, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals. Additional areas that rely on surface chemistry include modern nanotechnology, medical diagnostics, and drug delivery. There is extensive literature on this subject, but most chemistry books only devote one or two chapters to it. Surface Chemistry Essentials fills a need for a reference that brings together the fundamental aspects of surface chemistry with up-to-date references and data from real-world examples.

This book enables readers to better understand many natural phenomena and industrial processes. Mathematical treatment is mainly given as references to make the material accessible to individuals with a broader range of scientific backgrounds. The book begins by introducing basic considerations with respect to liquid and solid surfaces and describes forces in curved versus flat liquid surfaces. Chapters cover properties of surface active substances, such as surfactants and soaps; lipid films and Langmuir-Blodgett films; and adsorption and desorption on solid surfaces.

A TEXTBOOK OF GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY

2021-04-19T16:05:55+00:00

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells). Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, bacteriology, protistology, mycology, immunology and parasitology.

Eukaryotic microorganisms possess membrane-bound organelles and include fungi and protists, whereas prokaryotic organisms—all of which are microorganisms—are conventionally classified as lacking membrane bound organelles and include Bacteria and Archaea. Microbiologists traditionally relied on culture, staining, and microscopy. However, less than 1% of the microorganisms present in common environments can be cultured in isolation using current means. Microbiologists often rely on molecular biology tools such as DNA sequence based identification, for example the 16S rRNA gene sequence used for bacteria identification.

Viruses have been variably classified as organisms, as they have been considered either as very simple microorganisms or very complex molecules. Prions, never considered as microorganisms, have been investigated by virologists, however, as the clinical effects traced to them were originally presumed due to chronic viral infections, and virologists took search—discovering "infectious proteins".

JOHN WHITING:

2021-05-29T11:27:31+00:00

This book is a complete and comprehensive projection of John Whiting as an absurdist playwright. It is a round and unvarnished story of a prodigious playwright who within a short span of his life, did much to outshine his contemporaries. His journey was not limited to stage and theatre. He also wrote for the films, television and even radio. The journey began with The Conditions of Agreement in 1946 and ended with The Devils in 1961. In between he wrote many landmark plays through which one can trace the evolutionary trajectory of a legend in the making who was a confluence of mind and mystery, love and revenge, sentimentality and blood lust. His plays are replete with sin and sleaze, callousness and collusion. This was because in Whiting, one also comes across the diminution of norms owning to ethical elasticity and dispensability of principles. In his plays the pathology of power is matched by the ethos of human failings as is exemplified by the rise and fall of Grandier in The Devils. Here the banality of power fails to keep distance between pretense and principles. Bereft of the romance of renewal and predictability, many of his plays end up on disjointed note in the best tradition of the theatre of the absurd. The playwright's obsession with pre-mediated violence creates a disconnect between storyline and characterization. In practically every plays of Whiting creates a heady cocktail of fear, violence, loathing and paranoia and yet they make for a compelling reading. This book is a summary of my findings regarding John Whiting with terse comments on his qualities as an absurdist playwright. It has been my endeavor to assess him both as a literary figure and a playwright, wedded to the absurdist tradition.

बकरी पालन : आर्थिक समृद्धि का आधार

2021-07-12T12:07:26+00:00

हमारे देश में आर्थिक दृष्टि से उपयोगी पशुओं में बकरी का महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है. क्योंकि बकरी पालन से ऐसे लोग जुड़े है जो आर्थिक एवं सामाजिक दृष्टि से पिछड़े हुए है. इनमे प्रमुख रूप से भुमिहीन मजदूर, छोटे एवं सीमांत किसान आते है. छोटा आकार एवं शांत प्रकृति के होने के कारण इसके रहने की जरूरत एवं प्रबंधन आसान होती है. इनको रखने के लिए कम जगह की आवश्यकता होती है । बकरी दोस्त जैसा होती है एवं आदमी इनके साथ खेलते है । ये हर प्रकार के जलवायु में रह सकते है। किसी भी अन्य पशु की तुलना में दाना-पानी कम खाते कहै. बकरी हर प्रकार के पेड़ पौधे व झाड़ियों को खा सकते है. यह ज्यादा बच्चा देती है: बकरी बच्चा जनने की लिए जल्दी तैयार हो जाती है. 8-10 महीने में परिपक्व हो जाती है, गर्भावस्था 5 महीने की होती है, 14-15 महीने मई दूध देने लगती है, डेढ़ साल में दो बार बच्चे जन्म देतें हैं। यह ज्यादातर एक बार में दो बच्चे देती है कभी-कभी तीन या चार बच्चे भी देती है। सुखें की स्थिति में दूसरे पशु के अपेक्षाकृत कम जोखिम है। इसमें नर एवं मादा दोनों की बराबर महत्व है। बकरी जमीन की उत्पादकता बढ़ाती है एवं घास को कम करती है। आज कल उच्च शिक्षा ग्रहण करने के वाबजूद भी रोजगार उपलब्ध नहीं हो प् रहा है. बकरी पालन एक ऐसा व्यवसाय है जिसे शुरू करने के लिए न तो अधिक पूंजी की आवश्यकता होती है और नहीं अधिक भूमि की. इसको बेचने की सुबिधा होने के कारन आज बकरी पालन व्यवसाय का रूप ले चूका है.

Mushroom Cultivation Techniques And Applications

2021-02-05T15:04:41+00:00

Mushrooms have been known as an ideal vegetarian food item that is enriched with essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins, pharmaceutical properties, low in fat, low in carbohydrates and an efficient tool for management of agro wastes. In India, mushrooms have been used as food and medicine by some tribal communities by their traditional knowledge. However, the country like India with its diversity of mushroom (i.e. macro fungi) with huge source of agro waste can open a new door of agro industry in near future. The decreasing trend of arable land and increasing food demand necessitates food production by utilizing agro waste which is not only mitigated the stubble burning problem in agriculture based country like India but it is also provided nutrition enriched health food to combat malnutrition. Mushroom along with other microbial biomass like yeast, algae and single cell protein (SCP) are often referred to as an alternative source of supplemented health food. However, among all these mushroom cultivation is unique economically viable biotechnology for the conversion of lignocellulosic agro waste materials into high quality nutritious food. In recent times, mushroom cultivation is gaining popularity to those growers having no or insufficient land. The identification of edible and poisonous mushrooms in wild condition is difficult as there is no instant methodology for accurate determination of safe and poisonous mushrooms. So, cultivation of edible mushroom with desire strain is important to consume mushroom safely. Processing and preservation are other important aspects of mushroom production as the shelf-life is very short. This book is aimed to reach the mushroom workers particularly student, researcher, common man, big or small growers in North East India. The Book highlights on the basics about macro fungal spawn preparation technology, laboratory equipments, cultivation technology of mushrooms etc.

Mine Economics Reference to West Bengal Surface Mines

2021-02-17T17:35:42+00:00

Mining is extraction of exhaustible resources. Each mine has a finite life span. Sustainable mining has been defined by Tilton (2009) as an oxymoron, since mining depends on non-renewable, and depleting mineral resources. Therefore, mining, by its very nature is unsustainable. However, World Bank has promoted sustainability throughout the mine life cycle, and even after mine closure, to ensure non declining welfare for the local people (Pokolbin 2006). A mine is closed down when subsurface reserve is exhausted, or it is no longer economically viable. In a closed mine site, derelict landform, will bring forth several sustainability issues. Extensive land is degraded due to abandoned mines and old dumps. Indigenous people lose their traditional means of earning from the degraded natural resources, around the closed mine site.

Traditional Foods, Fermented Foods, And Alcoholic Beverages Of North Bengal

2021-02-06T04:46:57+00:00

Food is any edible substance consumed to provide nutritional support to living organisms. Food is usually of plant, animal in origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. Food fermentation is one of the unique technique to preserve the raw materials harvested by the farmers in large scale. The process fermentation specially convert the starch and other polysaccharides in to monosaccharaides and finally the monosaccharaides are converted in to organic acids, ethanol and important components which can be utilised further as foods, medicines. The organic acids, ethanol and other antimicrobial compounds which is synthesised by microbes during fermentation are playing important role in food preservation and hence, increasing the shelf-life of the foods and alcoholic beverages produced at household level. Our grandparents are real biotechnologists, unknowingly they were preserving the foods by natural fermentation at their home. The best examples are Dahi and other fermented foods which is prepared and consumed by ancient time, the best example of starter culture and biotechnology. Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food, including the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage; bacteria, however, such as probiotics, are becoming increasingly important in food science. In addition, microorganisms are essential for the production of foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, wine and other fermented foods. Yeast, especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is used to leaven bread, brew beer and make wine, alcoholic beverages. Certain bacteria, including lactic acid bacteria, are used to make yogurt, cheese, hot sauce, pickles, and fermented sausages. In this book we have documented all the information regarding traditional method of Fermented food and alcoholic beverages preparation, consumption, sales, ethnic significance, socio-economic values. We have documented how these fermented foods and alcoholic beverages are related with the livelihood of the ethnic tribes
of the entire region of North Bengal. Due to the indigenous knowledge of ethnic tribes and the new methods introduced by the immigrants arriving from other states of India, a wide variety of fermented foods are produced in North Bengal. In this book, we have collected information about the traditional method of production of dairy, meat, fish, vegetables, cereals based fermented foods. Special focus has been given to documentation of fermented naturally alcoholic beverages and dairy products and fermented vegetables knowledge on preparation of various fermented food products is covered in the book. Food fermentation is one of the oldest traditional technologies for production of edible products in the development of human civilization. Fermented foods are defined as food products prepared by the people using their indigenous knowledge of food fermentation from locally available raw materials of plant or animal source either naturally or by adding starter culture(s) containing functional microorganisms which modify the substrates biochemically and organoleptically into edible products that are socially and culturally acceptable to the consumers. Fermented beverages and alcoholic drinks are socially and culturally acceptable products for consumption, drinking, entertainment, customary practices and religious purposes. Drinking of alcoholic beverages and distilled alcohol are widespread interest enhancing the pleasure of eating and have nutritional significance. Natural fermentation precedes human history. Since ancient times, humans have exploited the fermentation process for the production of fermented foods. Fermentation in food processing is the process of converting carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids using microorganism’s yeasts or bacteria under anaerobic conditions. The term fermentation sometimes refers specifically to the chemical conversion of sugars into ethanol, producing alcoholic drinks such as wine, beer, and cider. This book consists of six chapters covering the Chapter-1 Fermented Foods: An Overview, Chapter-2 Ethnic Fermented Foods And Alcoholic Beverages of Uttar-Dinajpur District of North-Bengal, Chapter-3 Traditional Fermented Foods and Alcoholic Beverages of Siliguri Sub-Division
of North Bengal, Chapter-4 Fermented Foods of and Alcoholic Beverages of Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalingpong, Mirik Hills, Chapter-5 Fermented Foods and Alcoholic Beverages of Alipurduar and Cooch-behar District of North-Bengal and Chapter-6 Traditional Fermented Foods and Alcoholic Beverages of Jalpaiguri District of North-Bengal. This book will create first line database of various fermented foods and alcoholic beverages of North Bengal region based on cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, dairy, grains and meat products. This book will be highly beneficial for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Food Microbiology, Food Technology, Food Biotechnology and Food Science disciplines.

Development of Assay Methods for Fixed Dose Combinations

2021-01-08T05:09:17+00:00

The development of fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) is increasingly high, either improving compliance or benefiting from the added effects of the two or more active drugs given together. They are being used to treat a wide range of conditions and are particularly useful in managing chronic diseases. FDC drugs have been used for some time in specific therapeutic categories such as anti-hypertensive, anti-retroviral, anti-lipidomic, hypoglycemic drugs, etc. With the revolution in the survival rates of patients suffering from human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection that occurred with the implementation of fixed drug combination products for this indication, this delivery technology received a boost of confidence and an influx of creative applications to other diseases.

Hence, it becomes necessary to develop new or modified analytical methods for combination products under the above circumstances.

Hence, the author inspired to contribute to society with an intention and aiding to control the product's quality whereby the right product must reach the customer.

Chapter 1 describes importance of silver catalysis in click reaction as a substitute to CuAAC. Click reaction in a broader sense specify a set of reactions that are fast, simple, easy to purify, versatile, regiospecific, and high yielding. Among various click reactions copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) is a prime example that allow access to 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles. However, Cu-free catalytic systems are drawing much more attention recently considering cytotoxic nature of copper based catalysts. Silver is a chemical element that belongs to 11th group of periodic table, has long been known to humans as a precious metal. The possibility of silver acting as a substitute to copper in AAC has been demonstrated by McNulty and coworkers using P,O-type silver complexes for the first time. After that many reports were made on Ag catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction.
Density Functional Theory based study has been carried out to investigate the effect of substituents attached to nitrogen atoms of N-heterocyclic carbenes and their different analogs on their ability to activate dihydrogen molecule in Chapter 2. Different electron donating and electron withdrawing substituents have been considered in this study. The activation barriers for the activation of dihydrogen is strongly dependent on the singlet-triplet energy gap of the carbene compound.
Chapter 3 give a brief idea of the different montmorillonite clay based catalysts and their application in dye degradation.. Use of natural dyes has been started with the starting of human civilization. Later synthetic dyes took the place of natural dyes and with the development of variety of industries use of synthetic dye also increased, in fact they have become indispensable chemicals. Unfortunately, most of them are toxic and due to the toxicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity of synthetic dyes, they create a huge threat to human health as well as for animals. Due to the complex aromatic structures and high stability against light, temperature, water, etc, these synthetic organic dyes cannot be degraded by conventional water treatment process and they cause substantial water pollution as well as environment pollution. Therefore effective removal of toxic dyes is extremely important. In the recent years researchers proposed various methods involving biochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical and photochemical reactions etc. for these purpose. A number of catalysts have also been reported for effective removal of dyes from waste water. A considerable number of montmorillonite clay supported heterogeneous catalysts have also been found very effective for this purpose. Montmorillonite can be considered a potential adsorbent toward dyes. In pure form, montmorillonite shows a high ability to adsorb dye molecules via a cationic exchange and molecular sieve mechanism.
Chapter 4 discusses the recent developments in the area of cellulose-supported metal catalysts. Cellulose is one of the organic polymers distributed abundantly in nature. This material exhibits extraordinary properties of enhanced metal adsorption and drug loading. The surface of cellulose contains abundant hydroxyl groups which can be modified with functional groups such as –SO3H, -COOH, -NH2 etc. and this in turn improves the reusability of the material. Cellulose-supported metals have gained tremendous interest in recent years and have been extensively used as efficient catalytic systems for organic transformations, which includes, click reaction, alcohol oxidation, oxidative decarboxylation and coupling reactions.
In the chapter 5, the applications of doped-graphene in various chemical transformations have been highlighted. Theoretical studies and facts on doped-graphene have been given prime importance in the chapter. Chapter 6 describes the method of cascade synthesis of biologically important N-heterocycles using transition metal.
In chapter 7, synthesis of a few such hydrophilic complexes are discussed, particularly highlighting two Pd(II) and Fe(III) complexes which have been successfully applied as catalyst in aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling and oxidation of alcohols respectively. Schiff bases are a class of organic compounds containing azomethine (–HC=N–) group which have extremely been studied because of their simple synthesis, high air stability, cost effectively of the precursors and wide applicability. They show characteristic coordination through nitrogen atoms with transition metals to form complexes, although other atoms viz. O, S, P sometimes may also act as additional donor sites along with nitrogen. Their electronic and steric properties could easily be tuned by proper selection of precursor materials. But majority of these Schiff base compounds are little soluble in water because of their hydrophobic framework, thereby limiting their use as catalysts in aqueous media. Therefore, designing of hydrophilic Schiff base catalysts by introducing functionalities like –SO3-, -COO etc. have been a fascinating area in catalysis during recent years.
The study on Chapter 8 will be helpful in understanding the tuning of hydrogen storage properties of materials and thus in designing suitable storage of hydrogen. Aluminium (Al) clusters are always been a site of attraction for designing hydrogen storing materials due to its light atomic weight and very high abundance on Earth’s crust. Moreover, the fcc structure of bulk Al can be depicted by one of its sub-nano form, such as Al6 cluster as it has a octahedral structure. Several theoretical studies on Al clusters already suggest that it can be effectively used for hydrogen storage. The dissociation mechanism of hydrogen molecule on the host material is also a key factor for designing a suitable storing system. In metal clusters the dissociation of hydrogen molecule can be tuned very constructively via doping or by varying the size of the host cluster.
Ionic Liquid (IL) based catalytic systems is presented in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 includes the description of catalyst in the synthesis of ynones. α, β-Acetylenic ketones or ynones have become extremely important in last few years because of their versatile applications in various fields such as click chemistry, pharmaceutical, organic synthesis and natural products etc. Ynones are the construction blocks of organic chemistry, used to prepare many biologically active compounds, heterocyclic components for synthesis of various reaction intermediates so forth.
Coumarins are one of the important classes of benzopyrones which strengthen their own realm among the usually encountered heterocycles in this present era owing to the possession of significant properties in pharmaceutical as well as industrial field. Chapter 11 describes the Pechmann Condensation in Task Specific Room Temperature Ionic Liquid to synthesis coumarin. Coumarin scaffold is found as an integral part of many anticoagulants, anti-HIV, anti-venom, antibiotic drugs. Ranging from food to cosmetics, its industrial uses extend to optical brighteners and laser dyes as well. Moreover, the property to act as fluorescent probe makes the coumarins attractive molecular scaffold among scientific community.
Chapter 11 describes development of various methods for Pechmann Condensation and impact of various acidic ILs as catalysts in coumarin synthesis that reduces the task of an acid catalyst as well as extra solvent and also meets the principles of green chemistry. Among various synthetic routes, Pechmann condensation is one of the most widely used synthetic methods towards coumarin synthesis where the desired product is obtained by the condensation of phenolic compounds with β-keto esters or carboxylic acids. The reaction is firmly catalyzed by acids under different reaction conditions. Recently, acid ionic liquids as catalyst for coumarin synthesis are becoming quite popular owing environment friendliness of these catalysts. Ionic liquids (ILs), salt of organic cation and inorganic/organic anion, are one of the best alternative solvents to the conventional ones which serve the reaction in a greener way which is very much important to meet the conditions for sustainable developments.

Human Resource Accounting

2021-01-22T08:27:28+00:00

The authors examined hundreds of studies, surveys and interviews to identify the most effective practices and processes to show the human resources accounting (HRA) contribution. The lengthy development process allows authors to apply new techniques and models within operations and analyse them for effectiveness before including them in the book. Two major studies were initiated specifically for this book and their results are reported in several chapters.
After the development, this significant work should be a valuable contribution to the field. Authors have been fortunate to tackle HR Accounting measurement and evaluation from several perspectives. First and most importantly, after becoming as a human resource executive, one should not struggle directly with the issue of accountability and to focus on the human resources function. Second, after becoming as a top executive in a major financial institution, the view on human resources is completely a different perspective, as a user of the services. Using available research, authors attempted to show human resources accounting practitioners as the best practices. Finally, as a consultant, authors have been fortunate to work with a variety of organizations to help them improve the contribution of the human resources function.
From these perspectives, several impressions begin to emerge about the HR profession, all underscoring the need for increased accountability of the HR function. Collectively, these perspectives provided a unique vantage point from which to write this book.
The final product should be a valuable contribution to help human resources managers tackle the important issue arising out of human resource accounting. The target audience for this book is practicing human resource professionals. The book equips HR professionals with the tools necessary to show the contribution
of programs. Presented in a systematic format, from a practical viewpoint with many examples and illustrations, real-time case studies, it is based on actual experiences, accepted practices, and a strong research base. Each technique and idea has been tested and proven in actual practice.

The emergence of e-commerce as a way of doing business has created an environment in which the needs and expectations of business customers and consumers are rapidly changing and evolving. This situation presents marketing managers with the challenge of ascertaining which elements of market space are new and how much continuity can be retained from the past. Some marketers apparently believe that it is enough to offer a Web site, maintaining a superficial appearance that the firm is progressive, or they ignore the Web altogether, possibly making use of digital technology to support existing business plans. Others take the opposite tack, saying that everything is changing and that nothing can remain the same (e.g., Feather, 2000; Murphy, 2000). A more balanced view proposes that people are basically the same but that new technologies are changing many of the ways customers shop and buy – thus, many businesses must overhaul their operating models to create digital strategies that meet changing needs and preserve competitiveness (Downes & Mui, 1998; Wind, Mahajan & Gunther, 2002). Researcher’s position is consistent with this balanced view. Researcher believes that while much is changing, many fundamentals remain. Thus, researcher suggests ways that managers can use well-grounded concepts from consumer attitude and marketing theory, adapting them to new technologies.

Information Technology For Management

2020-12-01T17:13:17+00:00

Generally, information technology has a great effect on all facets of life and the global culture and economy is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The current culture is evolving and is becoming “knowledge society”. This depends more on information technology, a new economy or a "wisdom economy," where expertise, information and the main factor for production are important. This increases the share of trade in the knowledge economy with concepts, methods, knowledge and information. Effective businesses in the information society produce high-tech products and services and turn human effort, materials and other economic resources into products and services which meet the customer's needs.

Then, we talk about the role of IT in moderating the link between the structure, size, learning, culture and interorganizational ties, the most strategy, organizational efficiency and innovation characteristics. In the course of the discussions, we will explore the drawbacks and potential negative effects of IT usage, as well as various main areas for future study.

Impact Of Urbanisation On Rural Development In India

2020-09-17T11:18:16+00:00

Rural development is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for the rural mass. If we want to develop a rural economy, we should develop land and agriculture. The land and agriculture development would increase income of the rural people whereby they would tend to raise their living standard by letting urban amenities, facilities and traditions enter in their life. Whatever the high level of living standard is achieved there on the basis of increased income generated on account of land and agriculture development, the economy all the same remains rural. It becomes developed but is not converted into an urban economy. The rural villages in United States of America look far better than Indian cities but those are still the part of U.S. rural sector because the economy of those villages is still land and agriculture based

Community Assessment

2020-09-11T16:44:38+00:00

Community Assessment is a process to identify community's needs, resources, challenges and points of actions for future interventions. Needs means the gap between the present situation and desired situation of community. Resources means skills, ability of its people as well as material resources available e.g. unused area of community hall. Challenges means, issues which will be faced during the intervention and points of action means prioritizing the issues, on which action should be taken first. Generally, Community assessment is done by organizations, which want to work with community for its betterment. Assessment is done before coalition and to decide whether the coalition between the organization and the community will work or not. Before starting any work with community, it is very essential to understand the community. Leaving few exceptions of homogeneous communities like tribal, most communities are heterogeneous and have complex structure of a bigger society. So, if understanding about the community is not comprehensive, working with it will be more difficult. To understand the community comprehensively, we need to perform community assessment in detailed way.

Adoption of e-Governance in India

2020-09-01T15:00:00+00:00

Adoption of e-governance in India started in mid 90s, but early adoption initiatives by the states and union territories had been characterized by initiatives in form of separate projects. These initiatives were piecemeal approaches thus could not address the issue of provisioning all citizen centric services through kiosks located in rural and urban India called Citizen Service Centres (CSCs). Our effort in this research work has been to analyze the e-governance adoption initiatives post NeGP (NeGP was formulated in 2006 and implementation began in 2007) by each state and union territories as regards provisioning of integrated e-governance services through CSCs at the lowest level i.e., district centers
Chapter 1 introduces the e-governance implementation in other countries of world, India’s status as regards other countries, the problems faced by India states and UTs and the need for assessment. Chapter 2 examines the relevant literature on critical success factors, key performance indicators, types of assessment frameworks in context of e-governance, cluster analysis techniques and the methodology of formulating strategy using fuzzy inference systems. Chapter 3 applies this literature to calculate the relative weightings of KPIs using expert inputs. Chapter 4 describes the mapping of CSFs and KPIs, and calculation of e-government assessment index (eGAI) based on multi-stakeholder inputs’. Chapter 5 presents survey and clustering analysis. The states/UTs are clustered using clustering techniques and data repository for each cluster is created. Chapter 6 is based on design of FIS using interlinkages of CSFs, and finalization of strategy for each cluster using FIS based simulation technique. The final chapter (Chapter 7) draws conclusion for theory and practice.

Study of Lactic Acid Fermentation

2022-09-29T03:58:56+00:00

Lactic acid has a long history of uses for fermentation and preservation of human foodstuffs. It was first discovered in sour milk by Scheele in 1780, who initially considered it a milk component. In 1789, Lavoisiernamed this milk component acid lactique, which became the possible origin of the current terminology for lactic acid. In 1857, however, Pasteur discovered that it was not a milk component, but a fermentation metabolite generated by certain microorganisms. At the beginning of the 20th century Ellie Metchnikoff (1845-1916, winner of the 1908 Nobel Prize for physiology) advocated the beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria. He discovered that Bulgarians had average life span of 87 years and that the Bulgarian diet constituted mainly of cultured milk products. Thus, he hypothesized that the consumption of large quantities of live lactic acid bacteria in yogurt suppressed the multiplication of putrefactive bacteria in the large intestine, and prevented aging and shortening of life. This is the “theory of longevity by yogurt”. Lactic acid is considered as a very important chemical compound with significant applications in pharmaceutical, chemical industry and especially in the food industry. Worldwide demand for lactic acid is growing at a rate of approximately 12-15% a year.

Lactic acid production from agricultural crops such as wheat, corn and beet has recently received much attention because of the increasing demands for polylactic acid, which is used in biodegradable plastics. The production of such biodegradable polymer can replace non-degradable plastics and thus solve the environmental pollution problem. The increasing use of chemical synthesis plastics, which takes about hundred years to degrade, has cause environmental deterioration, with these waste plastic clogging landfills, strangling wildlife and littering beaches. The production of PLA will increase if new economic production routes are developed to increase annual lactic acid consumption. World demand for lactic acid is currently estimated at $150 million (100 000 tons). An annual growth of 8.6% of the lactic acid market is expected between 2010 and 2012. About 50% of the market is in food and beverage applications, which is a mature and stable market. For polylactic acid, the potential market has reached about 160 000 tons in 2003 and 390 000 tons in 2008.

This type of fermentation could nevertheless be important because the carbon sources are waste product that would otherwise be difficult and expensive to discard, rather than agricultural crops that could be put to other uses in the production of human food and animal feed. There are five chapters in the present thesis. Chapter first is introductory which shows an overview of the current status of many diverse and interesting aspects of modern fermentation technology. Chapter second is general experimental methods which shows instrumentation techniques followed in lactic acid fermentation technology. Chapter third parametric studies of lactic acid deals about optimization of right conditions for lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus bulgaricus NCIM-2359 Chapter fifth and sixth which is main parts of the thesis includes lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus bulgaricus NCIM-2359 exposed to some active organic molecules (AOM) and some chemical mutagens. Some of these compounds has been found useful and significant for higher yields of lactic acid. I am grateful to professors, research colleagues, parents, my wife and little babies for their moral support and encouragement for this venture.

Malnutrition: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment

2023-12-11T10:50:32+00:00

Malnutrition is a pervasive and complex global issue that transcends geographic boundries, affecting millions of individuals across diverse communities. This book seeks to explore the multifaceted dimensions of malnutrition, delving into its causes, consequences and potential solutions. As we embark on this exploration, it is crucial to recognize that malnutrition extends beyond mere caloric intake; it encompasses a spectrum of nutritional deficiencies that impact physical, mental and social well beinhg. In the folloing chapters, we aim to unravel the intricate web of factors contributing to malnutrition, ranging from socio-economic disparities and environmental challenges to cultural practices and healthcare system. Through a comprehensive analysis, we hope to shed light on the interconnectedness of these elements and their cumulative effects on individuals, families and entire communities.

This book also endeavors to highlight the diverse manifestations of malnutrition, including undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. By examining the distinct challenges posed by each facet of malnutrition, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the naunced ways in which it manifests and the unique interventions required to address these varied issues. Moreover, we will explore the consequences of malnutrition on different age groups, from the vulnerable populations of infants and children to the elderly. The ripple effects of malnutritioon extend far beyond immediate health concerns, affecting educational attainment, economic productivity, and overall societal well being. Throughout tese pages, we will draw upon the latest research findings, real-world case studies, and expert insights to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of malnutrition globally.

Our goal is to empower readers with knowledge that trancends the traditional boundries of disciplines, encouraging a holistic approach to understanding and addressing malnutrition. In concluding this preface, it is our sincere hope that this book serves as a catalyst for meaningfull conversations, policy changes, and innovative tnterventions to combat malnutrition. By fostering awareness and collective action, we aspire to contribute to a future where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can attain and maintain optimal nutritional health. Together, let us embark on a journey to unravel the complexities of malnutrition and work towards a world where nutritious food is a fundamental right for all.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ROTATIONAL DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF SOLID MOLECULES

Recently many interests have been shown to study the rotational motion of molecules in solids of alkali halide crystals doped with polar impurities which shows pronounced effects on optical, thermal and electrical properties of the host crystals, playing a dominant role in science and technology.

A free molecule containing N atoms has 3N-6 degree of vibrational freedom, three degree of translational freedom and three degrees of rotational freedom. When a molecule is introduced substitutionally into a lattice, the vibrational degrees of freedom are usually changed relatively small by the matrix. The translational degrees of freedom of the molecules are the same as the translational degrees of freedom of an impurity atom, i.e., they manifest themselves as impurity modes. We have considered the third group of degree of freedom, those connected with the rotational inertia of the molecule.

Low temperature infra-red absorption, thermal conductivity and specific heat measurements have shown a better agreement with the theoretical one by optical spectroscopy method on Devonshire model. This model explains gross features of the IR data except the tunneling translations which were not observed in optical measurements that have been discussed in details.

By means of infrared-absorption, thermal-conductivity, and specific-heat measurements at low temperatures, the problem of rotational motion of molecules in solids has been studied using CN− ions substituted for the halogen in KCl, KBr, KI, RbCl, NaCl, and NaBr. Energy levels associated with the ion performing free rotation, hindered rotation, oscillation, and tunneling motion were observed. It was found that a simple 3-dimensional potential for a linear diatomic molecule developed by Devonshire based on a 2-dimensional cosine potential first proposed by Pauling explained all of our observations.

For the potassium halides the barrier height is 0.003 eV; in RbCl it is 0.0075 eV, and in the sodium halides it is >0.015 eV. Stress experiments show that the ion has 6 equilibrium orientations along the 〈100〉 directions. Strong phonon scattering by tunneling states and rotational states is observed.
