Role of Cluster Frontline Demonstration in Boosting the Production of Chickpea in Chambal Division of Madhya Pradesh Indian Research Journal of Extension Education

The present study was conducted in Chamble division of Madhya Pradesh during the year 2016-17 to 2019-20 by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Morena (M.P). conducted 190 Cluster frontline demonstrations on Chickpea in 76 ha area under real farming situations in the farmer’s fields of six adopted villages of district Morena (M.P.). The objective was to transfer the technology to increase the productivity of chickpea through various types of interventions viz . , Varietal, Seed treatment, Plant Protection, Rhizobium , Irrigation, STV based nutrient management and IPM. High yielding variety of Chickpea RVG 202 was given to the farmers and basal application of 20 kg N + 60 kg P 2 O 5 +20 kg K 2 O /ha in the form of DAP, MOP and Zinc sulphate @ 25 kg /ha as per demonstration were advised. The seed was treated before sowing. It was observed that in cluster front line demonstrations, the improved chickpea variety RVG 202 recorded an average yield of 1850, 1880, 2046 and 2123 kg/ha were much higher than as compared to the average yield of farmers practices 1440, 1660, 1630 and 1625 kg/ha respectively during 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20. The average per centage increased in the yield over farmer’s practices was 28.40, 13.3, 25.5 and 25 for the year 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively. The technology gap was found 109 Kg to 590 Kg over the potential yield. The highest extension gap of 498 kg/ha was recorded in 2019-20 and the lowest was observed 220 kg/ha in 2017-18. From these results, it is evident that the performance of improved variety was found better than the local check under the same environmental conditions. Farmers were motivated by the results of agro technologies applied in the CFLDs trials and it is expected that they would adopt these technologies in the coming years.
Bridging the Gap: Predictors of Willingness to Engage in an Intercultural Interaction

What influences people’s willingness to interact with someone of a different cultural background from themselves or to avoid this kind of interaction? Recent research has investigated this question by specifically examining two variables: the personality variable Intolerance of Uncertainty and the Predictability of the interaction partner (Logan, Steel, & Hunt, 2015). Research has indicated that the personality variable Openness, is related to Intolerance of Uncertainty. However, this trait has not yet been examined in previous research exploring people’s willingness to engage in an intercultural interaction. The present study sought to examine the effect of Intolerance of Uncertainty, Openness, and Predictability of the interaction partner on willingness to engage in an intercultural interaction. 30 undergraduate students at Belmont University were told they may or may not interact with someone of a different cultural background on live video chat. Participants were randomly assigned to either a low or high predictability condition and completed questionnaires measuring Intolerance of Uncertainty, Openness, and Willingness to Interact with a fictitious interaction partner. It is expected that Intolerance of Uncertainty will have a negative relationship with willingness to interact, while Openness and Predictability of the interaction partner will both have a positive relationship with willingness to interact.
Pollution Characteristics and Health Risk Assessment of VOCs in Jinghong

In order to investigate the seasonal variation in chemical characteristics of VOCs in the urban and suburban areas of southwest China, we used SUMMA canister sampling in Jinghong city from October 2016 to June 2017. Forty-eight VOC species concentrations were analyzed using atmospheric preconcentration gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), Then, regional VOC pollution characteristics, ozone formation potentials (OFP), source identity, and health risk assessments were studied. The results showed that the average concentration of total mass was 144.34 μg·m−3 in the urban area and 47.81 μg·m−3 in the suburban area. Alkanes accounted for the highest proportion of VOC groups at 38.11%, followed by olefins (36.60%) and aromatic hydrocarbons (25.28%). Propane and isoprene were the species with the highest mass concentrations in urban and suburban sampling sites. The calculation of OFP showed that the contributions of olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons were higher than those of alkanes. Through the ratio of specific species, the VOCs were mainly affected by motor vehicle exhaust emissions, fuel volatilization, vegetation emissions, and biomass combustion. Combined with the analysis of the backward trajectory model, biomass burning activities in Myanmar influenced the concentration of VOCs in Jinghong. Health risk assessments have shown that the noncarcinogenic risk and hazard index of atmospheric VOCs in Jinghong were low (less than 1). However, the value of the benzene cancer risk to the human body was higher than the safety threshold of 1 × 10−6, showing that benzene has carcinogenic risk. This study provides effective support for local governments formulating air pollution control policies.
OHS Indicators and Under-reporting: Case Studies in Chinese Shipping

Occupational Health and Safety indicators, such as numbers of indents and near-misses, can be useful tools to manage and improve Occupational Health and Safety. However, under-reporting challenges the validity of these indicators. This article aims to examine the issue of indicator-based reporting through case studies in the Chinese chemical shipping industry. It reveals some economic and social factors which affect crew safety reporting practices and lead to under-reporting as well biased reporting. They include, but not limited to, crew’s concerns over their income, future promotion and job insecurity, the face work, solidarity among crew, and the fluidity of employment. As they explicitly or implicitly affect the validity of Occupational Health and Safety indicators, which serves as a reminder for those who adopt indicator-based Occupational Health and Safety management systems. They need to be addressed properly so that the indicators can be used more robustly.
Climate Change Adaptation Intention among Secondary School Science Teachers: Application of An Extended Model of The Theory of Planned Behavior

This research was conducted to investigate the factors affecting climate change adaptation behavioral intention among Malaysian secondary school science teachers. This study adopted variables from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), namely attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control , and added one more variable risk perception. Previous research papers have reported that risk perception is one the important predictors in climate change adaptation capabilities. Researcher used SPSS 23.0 to analyze the collected data. Descriptive statistics was used to get mean and standard deviation. The collected data was non-normally distributed, so a spearman correlation test <0.05 was used. The key findings of this study indicate that risk perception ( β=0.674), specific attitude (β=0.651), subjective norms (β=0.643) and perceived behavioral control (β=0.587) have significant associations with climate change adaptation behavioral intention among teachers. This research contributes to effective socio scientific decision-making on climate change adaptation among teachers which may eventually motivate young generations to dive into and explore climate change adaptation approaches. this to investigate the adaptation behavior intention among secondary school science teachers in Malaysia. on the towards change pursuing The of vital.
Supplementary Material: Person Re-identiﬁcation via Attention Pyramid

A. MORE PARAMETERS ANALYSIS A. Influence of parameter λ As shown in Table I, we investigate the inference of different values of parameter λ to the APNet-C model on the Market1501 dataset, including λ = 0.1, λ = 0.5, λ = 1, and λ = 2. The parameter λ denotes the balance rate between the crossentropy loss and triplet loss. We observe that the performance is stable when the rate λ changes from 0.5 to 2. It demonstrates the model is robust to the change of triplet loss rate. Besides, when we further reduce the rate λ to 0.1, we observe the obvious performance reduction. It might be because the impact of the triplet loss can not match the one of cross-entropy loss. It indicates that the triplet loss is also important to train the model by reducing the intra-class distances and enlarge the inter-class distances.
Dance Interventions as Non-Pharmacological Strategiesfor the Treatment of Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment

The percentage of people suffering from dementia has been rising constantly in recent decades. The fact that no effective treatments have been developed to date places particular value on prevention strategies and non-pharmacological interventions. With this in mind, the present study seeks to investigate the effects of dance on cognitive decline in older adults, and its use as a non-pharmacological strategy in efforts to combat dementia. A review of the relevant literature led to the consideration of peer-reviewed papers published between 2007 and 2020, selected on the basis of their research design, target population, intervention programmes, and assessment tools. The findings indicate that dance has a beneficial effect on cognitive function and mobility, reduces neuropsychiatric symptoms, and improves quality of life for individuals with dementia or mild cognitive impairment. In summary, there are clear indications that dance constitutes a highly promising alternative approach for the non-pharmacological treatment of dementia.
Enhanced Fluctuations in Facial Pore Size, Redness, and TEWL Caused by Mask Usage Are Normalized by the Application of a Moisturizer

Mask wearing is described as one of the main public health measures against COVID-19. Mask wearing induces various types of subjective and objective facial skin damage, such as hair pore dilatation and redness. Facial pore size and redness show morning-to-evening intra-day fluctuations. It remains unknown whether mask usage affects fluctuations in pore size and redness. We measured facial skin hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), pore size, and redness four times a day for 6 weeks in 20 healthy young women. After a 2-week no-mask-usage period (baseline period), all subjects wore unwoven masks for 2 weeks; then, for the following 2 weeks, they applied masks after the topical application of a moisturizer containing a Galactomyces ferment filtrate (GFF) skin care formula (Pitera™). We demonstrated that mask wearing significantly increased the intra-day fluctuations of pore size, redness, and TEWL. In addition, significant correlations were evident among these three parameters. Notably, these mask-induced skin changes were significantly improved, achieving a return to baseline levels, by the application of a GFF-containing moisturizer. In conclusion, mask wearing aggravates intra-day fluctuations in pore size and redness. Appropriate moisturization can minimize this mask-related skin damage, most likely by normalizing the elevated TEWL.
Open and Distance Learning Ability Scale for Higher Education Students: Measurement Model Analysis

Vol. No. 2022, Pg. 518 Abstract Online distance learning is becoming a standard delivery method in educational institutions since the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019. Public and private universities in Malaysia are no exception to facing various problems in online teaching and learning using the Open Distance learning (ODL) method. After nearly one and half years of performing an ODL teaching and learning method, students in public and private institutions of higher learning are beginning to show a trend of emotional decline. According to a scientific brief released by the WHO, the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, this study is significant to identify the students' emotions along the ODL to surpass the issues. In addition, the measurement of emotional stability on the quality of online student learning ability is still growing. Therefore, the instrument to evaluate the research variables is crucial to ensure the quality of the output. Thus, this paper aims to assess the validity and reliability of the instrument for emotional stability on the quality of online student learning ability. This study applied a quantitative approach by using a random distribution of Google Forms questionnaires. The questionnaire was distributed among academicians in universities to re-redistribute among their students to participate in this research. The survey involved 41 Students as respondents with various backgrounds in public universities. The data was analyzed by using SmartPLS 3 for the measurement model to achieve the aim of the research. The findings show the three variables to measure the emotional condition of online student learning ability, namely learning aids, learning environment, and lecturer, are valid and confirmed to measure student emotional stability. This study found that a latent variable emotional condition should have its items to measure the relationship between variables effectively. Thus, the restructuring of items for each latent variable will be reviewed and rearranged to ensure that the number of items measuring each construct is satisfactory in future research.
The Long-Run Effects of Immigration: Evidence Across a Barrier to Refugee Settlement

After the end of World War II in 1945, millions of refugees arrived in what in 1949 became the Federal Republic of Germany. We examine their effect on today’s productivity, wages, income, rents, education, and population density at the municipality level. Our identification strategy is based on a spatial discontinuity in refugee settlement at the border between the French and US occupation zones in the South-West of post-war Germany. These occupation zones were established in 1945 and dissolved in 1949. The spatial discontinuity arose because the US zone admitted refugees during the 1945-1949 occupation period whereas the French zone restricted access. By 1950, refugee settlement had raised population density on the former US side of the 1945-1949 border significantly above density on the former French side. Before the war, there never had been significant differences in population density. The higher density on the former US side persists entirely in 2020 and coincides with higher rents as well as higher productivity, wages, and education levels. We examine whether today’s economic differences across the former border are the result of the difference in refugee admission; the legacy of other policy differences between the 1945-1949 occupation zones; or the consequence of socio-economic differences predating WWII. Taken together, our results indicate that today’s economic differences are the result of agglomeration effects triggered by the arrival of refugees in the former US zone. We estimate that exposure to the arrival of refugees raised income per capita by around 13% and hourly wages by around 10%. a socio-economic The data covers manufacturing, and the self-employed the and non-agricultural the number of farms; the number of houses; the value of houses as assessed by ﬁre insurance; and the value of land and businesses for tax purposes. We ﬁnd that before WWII, municipalities on opposite sides of what would become the border between the 1945-1949 French and US occupation zones were similar to one another. Furthermore, using newly digitized income data, we show that the income per capita diﬀerences we observe today across the border between the 1945-1949 French and US occupation zones did not exist before WWII; nor had there ever been signiﬁcant diﬀerences in population density before the war. indicator variable ( θ , on the and for of wider to the refugees in 1945-1949 US occupation ( δ , on the
Identifying Critical Risk Factors in Green Product Certification Using Hybrid Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making

Green product certification (GPC) is an important means of eliminating the asymmetry of information between consumers and manufacturers in the context of sustainable development. This study examined the critical risk factors in GPC and provided relevant suggestions for managers to reduce risk and ensure the correctness of the process. First, 18 risk factors were summarized along four dimensions: the certification institution, the entrusting enterprise, the certification business, and the implementation of the certification. Second, the Delphi method was used to determine the formal research framework, and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method was applied to analyze the causal relationships among the risk factors to identify the ones driving risk and those representing the outcomes of GPC. This was used to construct a causality diagram of the risks related to green certification. Finally, the analytic network process (ANP) method was used to calculate the weight of each risk factor, and the weighted prominence of each is calculated to identify the critical factors. The results showed that the working life and experience of the certification institution were the critical driving risk factors in GPC. Corresponding countermeasures were also proposed to mitigate these risk factors.

A study on the Juvenile Delinquency and its Supporting factors.

 ABSTRACT Juvenile delinquency is the term used to describe the criminal acts of the criminal offenders who are not major i.e. under 18 and to analyze the present scenario of the juvenile delinquency the research is done. This research aims to explore the educational background of the delinquents along with the family background and their economic status which affects the juveniles or which results in the crime among juveniles. The present study leads to the conclusion that the low income of the family, family background (nuclear or joint or homeless), lack of parental supervision on their children is the main cause which is leading to the rise in this trend of delinquency. Majority of the crime is committed by those who are in the age group of 16-18 years because of the negative influence of the peer groups or the
GLOBAL ATTRACTORS FOR NONLOCAL PARABOLIC EQUATIONS WITH A NEW CLASS OF NONLINEARITIES

In this paper we consider a class of nonlocal parabolic equations in bounded domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions and a new class of nonlinearities. We ﬁrst prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions by using the compactness method. Then we study the existence and fractal dimension estimates of the global attractor for the continuous semigroup generated by the problem. We also prove the existence of sta- tionary solutions and give a suﬃcient condition for the uniqueness and global exponential stability of the stationary solution. The main novelty of the obtained results is that no restriction is imposed on the upper growth of the nonlinearities.

What's the Risk from Competing? Competition Aversion and the Gender Wage Gap

Laboratory experiments involving a real effort task are conducted to examine the importance of gender differences in competition aversion for generating gender wage gaps. Cross-subject design treatment and control experiments suggest that gender differences in risk aversion play no significant role in competitive (tournament) vs. piece-rate job choices and consequent gender wage gaps. Subjects in the treatment experiments are sorted into relatively more and relatively less risk averse groupings. Relatively less risk averse subjects are assigned to a risky job track involving a known constant probability of unemployment in each period. The gender wage gap contribution of gender differences in competition aversion compared with the contribution of gender differences in performance is especially large for relatively less risk averse subjects.
