 Abstract

Pre-breeding is the most promising alternative to link genetic resources and breeding programs. Pre-breeding refers to all activities designed to identify desirable characteristics and/or genes from unadopted (exotic or semi-exotic) materials, including those that, although adapted have been subjected to any kind of selection for improvement. As pre-breeding is being carried out, the resulting materials are expected to have merit to be included in ordinary breeding programs. Although there are some different concepts of exotics, Hallauer & Miranda Filho (1988) consider that exotics for pre-breeding purposes include any germplasm that does not have immediate usefulness without selection for adaptation for a given area. In this sense, exotic germplasms are represented by races, populations, inbred lines, etc. Consequently, the results of crosses between adapted and exotic materials, where different proportions of introgression are obtained and evaluated, have been denominated as semi-exotic materials. According to Hallauer (1978), the utilization of semi-exotic populations has been the most common procedure to evaluate exotic germplasms. To obtain promising results with exotics their reproduction is necessary for a few generations in order to allow genetic recombination accompanied by mild selection. Before useful recombinants can be selected a minimum of five generations of random mating with mild selection pressure is indicated (Lonnquist, 1974).

 Abstract

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are an emerging serious environmental issue but that act as the most appropriate indicator for propollution activities. Reason for the concern is mostly due to variety of toxins made by Cynobacterial species present in bloom, and formation of bloom is due to high concentration of P, N and other micronutrition. . Besides human health hazards cyanobacteria also pose economic hazard in terms of cell fish poisoning and also disturb ecosystem balance. Formation of HABs is dependent on variety of abiotic factors. High phosphorus availability is a defining and limiting factor that controls bloom formation. Many global studies have linked nutrient loading with bloom formation. Each HAB event has some regional specificity that is to be studied in detail in order to forecast and manage HAB. HAB forecasting can be a good way to predict and thus control factors that contribute to the formation of HAB. There are studies where forecasting tools have successfully helped in managing phosphorus and in turn HAB. Many studies have used remote sensing as a tool to create a monitoring and forecasting model. Remote sensing based analysis of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a good way to monitor and predict bloom formation.

 Abstract

Advertising has become more insidious, more persuasive part of everyday life because it is visible and unavoidable. Unlike products Services are very difficult because of its characteristics. The advertisement is using as one of the major marketing tools of service industry. Because of this NBFCs are challenging to make advertisement and therefore marketers have to utilise the most suitable strategy as well as advertising appeal to communicate and market their services. Through this research researcher make an attempt to study and examine the effectiveness of celebrity advertising in NBFCs. As well as the consumer response in service advertising. Qualitative methods like in depth interviews and quantitative method like survey have been used to collect the data. For data analysis purposes used simple average, pie-diagram, charts and five-point rating scale. The results showed that there is a positive impact on celebrity advertising. Moreover, advertising with celebrity strategy was more effective for building trustworthiness among its customers and ads with celebrity helped to remember the particular brand of NBFCs.

 Abstract

India reported the first case of COVID-19 in Kerala on 30 th January 2020. On 25 th March 2020, a complete lockdown for 21 days was imposed in India. It has been more than a year since the first lockdown in India due to COVID-19 as a result of which colleges remain shut for most of the time. Online classes are the new normal for the students since then. Objective of this study was to understand the changes in dietary behavior and food choice due to online classes among college going girls (18-25 years) studying in Delhi on account of COVID-19. Cross-sectional research design was used for the study. The participants included college going girls (18-25 years) studying in Lady Irwin College, University of Delhi (n=110). Data was collected after taking the consent of the participant through questionnaire via Google forms. The data was coding and analyzed on MS Excel. Continuous data was analyzed using measures of central tendencies. For the categorical data, chi square test was used for analysis of data. Consumption of baked goods increased 5.4% in physical classes to 11.8% in online classes. Consumption of fruits and salads and homemade food also increased during online classes accounting for 17.3% and 33% respectively. Consumption of carbonated beverages decreased from 18.1% to 3.6%. Students binge eat more frequently during physical classes (37.3%). There has been significant differences (p< 0.05) between online and physical in terms of binge eating and food choices among students.

 Abstract

In the last several decades, the application of nanomedicine for clinical purposes has received significant attention from academia, researchers, government, funding agencies, and regulatory bodies. Key issues related to the clinical development of nanoparticulate nanomedicines include biological challenges, biocompatibility and safety, large scale manufacturing, government regulations, intellectual property (IP), and overall cost-effectiveness in comparison to current therapies. This review focuses on the introduction of nanoparticles and various challenges face by these formulations, controversy associated with the basic concept related to the nano systems. Nanoparticles based formulations have ability to overcome biological barriers to effectively deliver them from biological sites, despite of their advantages only small number of nanoparticles-based formulations get approved for clinical use with numerous challenges and hurdle at different stages of development. The biocidal activity of Metal nanoparticles in general and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) depends on several morphological and physicochemical characteristics of the particles. Many of the interactions of the AgNPs with the human body are still poorly understood; hence, the most desirable characteristics for the AgNPs are not yet well established. This shows that with the regulatory issues related to nanomedicines there are also several pharmacological and toxicological issues which have to consider during synthesis of nanomedicines. This review summarizes challenges likely to be encountered during the development and approval of nanoparticle-based therapeutics, and discusses potential strategies for drug developers and regulatory agencies to accelerate the growth of this important field.

Current study aimed to analyze the antioxidant potential of various solvent extracts of Premna serratifolia. Premna serratifolia leaves were collected from the natural habits of Chikkaballapura district, Karnataka. About 100 g dried leaves were coarsely powdered and subjected to successive extraction by Soxhlet extractor. The extraction was done with different solvents like chloroform, methanol and ethanol. Antioxidant assay was determined for each extract. Results revealed that DPPH radical scavenging activity of the samples increased with increasing polarity of solvents. Ethanol fraction shows the highest DPPH radical-scavenging activity, followed by methanol and chloroform extract. In conclusion, biological activity such as antioxidant properties of ethanolic extract of leaf of Premna serratifolia was highest as compared to methanolic and chloroform extracts. Hence, ethanolic extract of leaf of Premna serratifolia could be exploited as potential drug agent of folk medicines.

 Abstract

In today's world, the number of competitors in the E-commerce market has grown, it is only inevitable that there would be fierce rivalry. Organizations must analyze their consumers in order to stay competitive and operate at their best. Customers may also leave customer reviews, which allow them to express their personal thoughts on the product. Customers have the ability to offer their opinions about the product. Thus, most companies should have sufficient market knowledge to forecast or predict which consumer segments are their most productive, the individuals of those businesses realize that scaling the job is not best left to guesswork or instinct. It is also important to understand how each segment will be targeted and what they need from the organization. Segmentation is a process of dividing customers into groups based on characteristics such as age, income level or gender. Segmentation can be done by using different methods like demographic, psychographics and behavioral factors. This paper analyses 3 prominent clustering algorithms (K-means, Agglomerative and Meanshift) to identify the target audience for segmentation. These algorithms are used in order to identify potential customers are likely to buy the product or service.
