 Abstract

Work-Place-related stress is the response people may have when presented with work demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and which challenge their ability to cope. Stress occurs in a wide range of work circumstances but is often made worse when employees feel they have little support from supervisors and colleagues, as well as little control over work processes. There is often confusion between pressure or challenge and stress, and sometimes this is used to excuse bad management practice. Supervisory level of executives of a public sector work organization (N=150) responded to a scale measuring perception of time urgency and challenge in work (PTUCW), and measures of interpersonal relationship, job-person fit, organizational commitment, and locus of control. Results based on correlational analyses showed that respondents high on PTUCW were low on interpersonal relationship, job- person fit, organizational commitment and high on internal control of reinforcement. By way of implication a note of caution was forwarded regarding exercise of PTUCW pattern of behaviour despite its short-term 'positive' consequences.

 Abstract

This study investigates heavy metal contamination in soil from industrial regions in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, using electrochemical analysis techniques. Soil samples were analyzed for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Results revealed elevated concentrations of these metals, with Pb averaging 112.4 mg/kg, Cd 2.5 mg/kg, Cr 62.1 mg/kg, Ni 45.8 mg/kg, and Zn 185.7 mg/kg. Electrochemical methods demonstrated high sensitivity with detection limits as low as 0.05 mg/kg for Cd and 0.1 mg/kg for Pb, providing a cost-effective alternative for monitoring soil contamination. The data highlight significant soil pollution in Jodhpur's industrial zones, reflecting potential risks to soil health and public safety. Elevated metal levels in surface soils compared to subsurface layers indicate ongoing contamination from industrial activities. The study underscores the urgent need for remediation strategies, improved pollution control measures, and regular monitoring to address soil contamination. Findings emphasize the importance of adopting effective soil management practices to mitigate environmental and health impacts associated with heavy metal pollution.

 Abstract

The spatial distribution of a particular attribute is a result of multi dimensional interactions of its determinants, such as, diversity in physiographical settings, locational advantages or disadvantages (strategic, no man's land, etc.), distribution unequal infrastructural facilities, political stability or instability, etc. As this process is dynamic and varies in space as well, concentration or dispersion in many spatial distributions is observed. All developmental theories, if it is not considered as space neutral, depend upon disparities and inequalities exist amongst the space bound determinants. Identification of such regional inequalities is a main task of regional planners. India is a land of diversity, as we all know, in terms of physiography, demography, economy, society and polity. These elements of diversity largely impact the developmental processes in the states of India. In this paper intra-regional distribution of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe population of Assam is taken into consideration to study its relative concentration and inequality to the total population. Findings shows that scheduled caste population is low inequality and high concentration than that of the scheduled tribe population in 2011 census data. Lorenz curve and Location Quotient are the two main methods used in the paper to discuss the regional inequalities.

 Abstract

This research paper examines the economic viability and environmental impact of micro-irrigation systems in Rajasthan, a region plagued by severe water scarcity and arid conditions. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data to assess the effectiveness of micro-irrigation technologies. Findings indicate that micro-irrigation systems, including drip and sprinkler methods, can reduce water consumption by up to 70% and increase crop yields by 20-90%, offering significant economic benefits with a payback period of 2-3 years. However, the adoption of these systems is hindered by high initial costs, limited technical expertise, and socio-cultural resistance. Financial constraints and inadequate technical support further exacerbate these barriers. To address these challenges, the paper proposes policy recommendations such as increasing subsidies, expanding technical training, enhancing awareness programs, and promoting sustainable water management practices. By overcoming these barriers, micro-irrigation systems can contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices and improved productivity in Rajasthan. The study provides a comprehensive analysis that can inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners on effective strategies for implementing micro-irrigation systems and achieving long-term agricultural and environmental sustainability.

 Abstract

In many applications such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, multitasking, image recognition and digital signal processing, the connections are simple arithmetic operations. The use of heavy equipment leads to large power consumption, which is very difficult, especially in weak environments such as mobile devices. We offer a unique way to solve this problem by reducing energy consumption by controlling accuracy. Our solutions are based on the concept of flexible switching, which can reduce energy consumption and increase performance at a certain cost. We present a new model that enables adaptive changes in accuracy based on application errors. The basis of our idea is to create a 4-2 compressor with extraordinary precision, which will work as the basis of a dynamic precision control system. We also include powerful error compensation to improve the accuracy of the addition process. In addition, by integrating parallel assertions into a convolutional neural network (CNN), we demonstrate the simplicity and flexibility of the real-time control system. As this integration shows, the multiplier is an excellent solution for deep learning applications, demonstrating the ability of each layer to meet different and energy needs. As a result, our scheme will be a good idea to reduce electricity consumption. Enabled by groundbreaking dynamic accuracy control, on-the-fly adjustments intelligently reduce power consumption while maintaining control's received learning levels. Our company's design offers an attractive next-generation energy efficiency solution because it reduces energy consumption and can be optimized to meet different needs of the application.
