Abstract :The purpose of the present study was to find out significant differences in the study habits of secondary school students of high and low level of maternal education. Study Habit Inventory (Hindi Version) constructed by Dr. B.V.Patel(1975) was administered on 200 secondary school students to collect relevant data. The data so collected was analysed statistically by employing Mean, S.D., and t-test. The finding revealed that significant difference exists between secondary school students with high and low level of maternal education on the home environment and planning of work component of study habits. There is be no significant difference in the secondary school students with high level of maternal education and low level of maternal education on the following components of study-habits namely; reading and note taking, concentration, preparation of the exam, habits and interests, school environment and total study habits. Secondary school students with high level of maternal education are better on home environment & planning of work and planning of subjects components of study habits than their counterparts with low level of maternal education. Secondary school students belonging to high level of maternal education and low level of maternal education are by and large similar on reading and note taking, concentration, preparation of the exam, habits and interests, school environment and total study habits.

 Abstract

Pisum sativum L. (Garden pea) is an annual crop of immense importance. In India it is cultivated in an area of more than 280.0 thousand hactares with annual production of more than 4.0 million tonnes but its yield decline heavily due to powdery mildew a fungal disease caused by Erysiphae pisi, E. polygoni; E. cichoracearum etc. Severe infection reduces plant growth seed weight, seeds per pod and pod number. Pod infection causes seed discoloration leading to downgrading its quality. Management using fungicides; most commonly triadimefon is in regular practice, but they only protect uninfected foliage and have limited systemic activity. Over time, the fungicides accumulate at the leaf margins, leaving other parts of the leaf more open to infection which also has hazardous effect on the environment. One of the effective methods for controlling fungal infection may be the introduction of rice chitinase into the sensitive but otherwise high yielding crops. Large number of genetic transformation procedures are available using both direct i.e. biolistic or gene gun or particle bombardment or in-direct i.e. Agrobacterium mediated for constitutive expression of introduced chitinase gene. Upon standardization of efficient shoot regeneration and transformation system in pea, transgenic plants may produced against these fungi leading to reduced yield loss in this economically valued crop. The functional validation of chitinase in pea will show way for its effective utilization in future for reducing loss caused due to several fungi.

 Abstract

This research presents the processes involved in Multiclass SVM and SIFT algorithms. Support Vector Machines (SVM) is a popular method in the machine learning area for binary classification problems. Multi-class SVM usually implemented by combining several binary SVMs. The scale-invariant feature transform is also used as a feature detection algorithm. This method transforms an image into a great collection of feature vectors, every vector is invariant to image translation, rotation, and scaling, partially invariant to illumination changes and forceful to local geometric distortion. In this research key points are identified with the SIFT algorithm and also multiclass SVM classifier is implemented to identify the percentage of area affected in the diseased image.

 Abstract

Indian economy being the seventh-largest economy in the world is measured by its nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). In the last two decades India is classified as a newly industrialized country and one of the G-20 major economies. The long-term growth prospective of the Indian economy is positive due to its young population, corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. The Indian economy has the potential to become the world�s third largest economy by the next decade by its contribution to the service sector. Tourism is a major source of income for many countries and affects the economy of both the source and host countries. Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country�s balance of payments. Tourism has now been accepted as an industry like all other industries that earn foreign money from the tour-loving people of the world. Today tourism is the largest service industry in India with a contribution of 6.23 per cent to the national GDP and providing 8.78per cent of the total employment. The tourism industry in India generated about US $100 billion in 2008 and that is expected to increase to US $275.5 billion by 2018 at 9.4 per cent annual growth rate. The ministry of Tourism is the nodal agency for the development and promotion of tourism in India and maintains the �Incredible India� campaign.

As we all battle one of the most crucial times in our lives, with this Pandemic of Covid-19 that has spread like wildfire across the world, the pandemic is alone not the problem that the world is facing but Infodemic as coined by the World Health Organization, is much more scarier than it appears. According to popular statistics website, Statista, about 88% of the first-time voters in the 2019 elections said that fake news was a real problem. In a country like India, which is a home to the second largest population, spreading of fake news, especially among the illiterates is worrisome as they lack decision making or judgment of the news consumed or circulated before making a decisive choice to believe in them. More than 300 million people consume the internet in India and so are the active consumers of fake news that spreads among the social media channels which gain much attention, the more it is shared, the more likely they believe in that information. The Indian Government has taken measures to curb the fake news menace that had led to many killings and hate mongering in the past. PIB Fact Check, by the Press Information Bureau, has set up a fact check online portal where anybody can post a picture or a message, they have received via social media to check if it is indeed true. With its presence on Social Media platforms, PIB Fact check is making sure that the fake news is curbed right there before it is spread beyond the control and helps to encourage media literacy among the users. In this study, the researcher�s aims to analyse the fake news that were circulated during the COVID-19 Period i.e. from 22nd March 2020 to 2nd July 2020, with the help of content analysis in order to understand the types of fake news being spread and how effectively it was taken down by the PIB Fact Check.

 Abstract

The Agenda of 2030 of sustainable development is concerned the role played by India. It would be crucial at national as well as international level. The small farmers are cultivated most of the land in the nation. The ongoing trend of large scale land acquisition on the name of development i.e. infrastructure, industrial, or other possibly will redesign the national agrarian land. Such activities will extensively disturbing countryside populations and their livelihoods. Not only that but such contractions are constructing on the cost of damaging environment heavily, which also result into creation of imbalance to the environment, ultimately it would affected to the agriculture activities and agriculture production. Without rehabilitation and resettlement of those displaced people not only create hardship to them but also play a vital role in inflation of domestic production, at the same time it will create challenge for food safety of citizens. This study, through a literature review, analyses the negative impacts of Land acquisition with less compensation or acquisition without rehabilitation and resettlement. It is their hydrological aspects that reflects how they may have an effect on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

 Abstract

In recent years, further studies have resulted in improvements in the design standard and the concrete quality has been greatly improved. For all of concrete-filled steel tubes are being employed in more constructions especially bridges, multi-story, and high-rise buildings. Hollow steel sections also can provide reduced weight and surface area when compared to equivalent open sections. Concrete filled steel tube (CFST) is a composite section integrated from a steel tube or a steel hollow section (SHS) with concrete filling inside the hollow part of the steel section. The steel section could be hot-rolled section or cold-formed section. However, the steel section type, grade, manufacturing, and concrete characteristic cylinder strength together control the overall section capacity. Concrete filled steel tubes combine the advantages of ductility associated with Steel structures, with the stiffness of a concrete structural system. After several pieces of research, it has been known that load transferred from the steel tube to the concrete by bond and shear connectors if the bond between the steel column and concrete inside is not made full use of, the flexural bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tube column may not be fully acted. In this paper, an extensive parametric study is introduced to show the effect of concrete in the hollow steel section among different parameters. Moment rotation curves are plotted for various studied parameters as bolt grade, bolt diameter, pre-tension force, and endplate thickness. The main object of this research is to highlight the concrete filling effect on the connection between steel I-beam to steel hollow section column and studying the connection behavior in each parameter with and without concrete.
