Authors:   University of Ljubljana, Kozina Francka Lovšin
Published: May 2021

In an era of consumerism, unsustainable clothing consumption is becoming an essential problem. Problems are related to extensive use of raw materials, energy, water, and labour. There are also bottlenecks with used chemicals in production and labour exploitation issues. Home economics subjects deal with concerns related to textile topics and try to raise awareness of sustainable consumption of textile products. Particularly important is to educate people to have the right knowledge and skills to behave sustainably. The aim of the study was to find out the extent of pre-service teacher trainee’s knowledge on textile topics and to research their behaviour in consumer process. In the pilot study, 69 home economics students participated. The research survey was designed to measure the teacher trainee’s textile literacy. The results indicate problems in the field of theoretical knowledge as well as in terms of sustainable behaviour in the entire chain from purchase to disposal of textiles.

Evaluation of Self-Help Groups in Promoting Women Socio-Economic Empowerment in Kibra Sub-County, Nairobi County, Kenya
Authors: Were Philip , Kimaru-Muchai Sarah
Published: May 2021

Women play a crucial role in developing the economy, but their contribution has been negatively affected by limited financial services access. The study investigated the role of self-help groups (SHGs) in promoting women's economic empowerment in Kibra, Nairobi County, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample size was 108 SHGs as respondents. The study utilized primary means of data collection by using questionnaires, key informant interviews (KIIs) and focused group discussions (FGDs). The findings showed that SHGs utilize group savings to expand credit access to vulnerable women in the sub-county. Leadership experience in SGHs has changed women's ability to make major decisions in their lives and improve confidence. SHGs have positively boosted the economy by empowering women and diversifying income sources. The study recommends periodical training on leadership and income-generating activities. The government needs to offer market and build infrastructure for products produced by groups' projects and provide subsidized loans to SHGs. Great emphasis should be put on women education and creating awareness while encouraging young women to join SHGs to start earning their incomes at early ages and making savings for their projects.

Published: May 2021

The article considers the problems of raising the efficiency of energy resources spent on the operation of a horizontal industrial autoclave, improving the quality of sterilized products and reducing the number of spoiled products. The analysis of the problems in automation control systems has been carried out and the shortcomings of the automatic control systems of technological process of canned food sterilization have been revealed. There has been described in detail the hierarchical structure of the autoclave control system. The main blockages caused by the pressure drop in air-main, water-main and steam-main are indicated. A detailed description of the cooling tower structure is given, the principle of cooling the circulating water and its supply to the consumer is analyzed. Within the framework of solving the problem of increasing the efficiency of energy resources and based on the technical characteristics, throughput and heat transfer coefficient, it is proposed to use

a plate heat exchanger. There is described its operation principle, which includes heating the incoming water to a predetermined temperature and cooling it at the end of the sterilization cycle. The combined use of a cooling tower and a heat exchanger will help to greatly reduce the energy costs, because the water used in the sterilization process will not drain into the general sewer at the end of the process, but will be cooled in a cooling tower and supplied to cool the autoclaves. When heated, the live steam won’t go directly into the autoclave, but will be fed into a heat exchanger to heat the circulating water, which will significantly reduce the overheating of the sterilized product

Management of productivity of sunflower plants depending on terms of sowing and density of standing in arid conditions of the Right-bank Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Pinkovskyi Hennadii , Tanchyk Semen
Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of scientific research conducted in 2016–2018, in order to determine the impact of sowing dates and standing density on the growth, development and productivity of sunflower hybrids. The field experiment was performed by the method of splitting plots in three replications in the experimental field of the Institute of Agriculture of the Steppe of NAAS in arid conditions of the Right Bank Steppe of Ukraine. The material for the study were sunflower hybrids of the middle-early maturity group – Forward, LG 56.32, LG 54.85, LG 5582 (Factor A); terms of sowing – the first when warming up the soil at a depth of seed wrapping to 5–6°C, the second when warming up the soil at a depth of seed wrapping to 7–8°C, the third when warming up the soil at a depth of seed wrapping to 9–10°C (Factor B); density of standing plants – 50, 60, 70 thousand per hectare (Factor C).Research found that the productivity of sunflower plants directly depends on the temperature of the soil (sowing dates), optimal water regime, density of standing plants, genetic and morphological characteristics of hybrids. It is also established that by regulating timing of sowing and selecting the optimal density of standing plants can affect the growth and development of sunflower plants, bypassing critical periods during cultivation. The optimal time for sowing sunflower for hybrids LG 55.82 and LG 54.85 is warming the soil at depth of seed wrapping up to 5–6°C, for hybrids Forward and LG 56.32 is warming the soil at a depth of seed wrapping up to 9–10°C. On average, according to the years of research, the highest seed yield of 3.85 t ha–1 was formed by the hybrid LG 55.82, which is higher than that of the hybrids Forward, LG 54.85 and LG 56.32 by 19.8%; 5.5% and 6.0%, respectively. It is established that the optimal density of sunflower is 60 thousand plants per hectare. Thus, sunflower productivity varied significantly under the influence of the morphobiological features of the hybrid – factor A (the proportion of impact was 47.5%), density of standing plants (factor C) – 5.4%, sowing time (factor B) – 3.4%.

Praca porusza współcześnie ważne zagadnienia dotyczące zrównoważonego rozwoju miast z zachowaniem bioróżnorodności. Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy, obejmuje analizę literatury przedmiotu i ocenę systemów przyrodniczych miast Lublina oraz Warszawy. Procesy globalizacji wywierają coraz silniejsze piętno na jakości środowiska. W równym stopniu zanieczyszczeniom i degradacji podlegają wszystkie jego komponenty: atmosfera, hydrosfera, pedosfera i biosfera. Nigdy dotąd tyle elementów i układów środowiska nie zostało poddanych tak silnej antropopresji, która zakłóca lub niszczy równowagę ekologiczną. Miasta rozrastają się, wypierając przyrodę. Wiele gatunków roślin, owadów, ptaków czy ssaków całkiem dobrze sobie z tym radzi, choć obserwuje się również nadmierny rozwój gatunków inwazyjnych. Trudno jest godzić interesy rozwoju miasta z potrzebami natury. Biorąc pod uwagę z jednej strony szybkie rozrastanie się miast i zapotrzebowanie na nowe grunty pod budownictwo, a z drugiej strony silny nacisk kładziony na troskę o bioróżnorodność i zachowanie ekosystemów oraz związane z tym niekorzystne interakcje, coraz częściej sygnalizuje się problemy związane z połączeniem często skrajnych potrzeb. Praca niniejsza jest próbą oceny sytuacji w tej dziedzinie, opiera się na analizie sytuacji związanej z bioróżnorodnością w dwóch miastach: Warszawie i Lublinie jako przedstawicielach dość odmiennych aglomeracji, zwłaszcza w związku z gęstością zaludnienia i szybkością zmian podyktowanych antropopresją.
Climate Change and Its Impact on Agriculture
Authors: Varga Adrián
Published: May 2021

We live in the times of climate change when global temperatures are constantly rising. The impacts of climate change will also be felt in agriculture in Slovakia: increased productivity and yields in colder areas, reduced production in warmer areas due to temperature stress, risk of erosion as a result of more extreme weather conditions (stronger winds, more intense precipitation), the occurrence of new pests etc. Hence, we should be prepared for adaptation measures that would help mitigate it. The aim of this paper is to present the impacts of climate change on agriculture and land, and to offer adaptation measures, and show the prognosis of the climate indicator Ts >10 °C from now until 2100.
Using the equation for computing the wind erodible fraction of soils in the conditions of the Czech republic
Authors: Dufková Jana Kozlovsky , Procházka Vít , Szturc Jan , Mašíček Tomáš
Published: May 2021

The erodible fraction (EF) of soil (soil aggregates and particles <0.84 mm) is one of the basic factors according to which the susceptibility of soil to wind erosion can be assessed. The standard method for determining the EF content is the use of a rotary sieve. Nevertheless, its availability is limited by its price and the fact that it is not mass-produced and is necessary to build the sieve to order. An alternative method of determining the EF content is to use an equation based on knowledge of the content of sand, silt, clay, organic carbon, and calcium carbonate. However, this equation has only been tested for US conditions. Therefore, the research focuses on the validation of the equation for the conditions of the Czech Republic, specifically in the territory of Southern Moravia. The results show that the equation validated for the USA cannot be used to determine the EF content in soils of the Czech Republic. Using the statistical program Unistat©, a new equation was proposed with correlation coefficient R = 0.8238 which means good applicability of the equation for the local soils at least in the area of Southern Moravia.

Authors: Verma Gargi , Choudhary Dharamveer Singh , Ranwa Rajkumari , Kumar Kishor
Published: May 2021

Background:

Endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) is a rare but potentially blinding ocular infection caused by hematogenous spread from a remote primary source.

Case Presentation:

A 30-year-old woman presented in eye outpatient department (OPD) with the loss of vision, redness, and purulent discharge in both eyes for 3 days. Detailed history revealed that the patient had 2 months of pregnancy for which she underwent a surgical abortion 5 days back in a hospital of local area followed by intense bleeding per vagina. On ocular examination, patient denied for light perception and an area of corneal thinning was present in the center in both eyes.

Fundus examination revealed absence of normal red glow bilaterally. On general physical examination, patient was found to be semiconscious, hypotensive; pulse was feeble, and patient was in stage of shock. Medical management for the ocular condition was initiated and patient was referred to emergency department immediately. Follow ups continued in the ICU for the ocular condition.

Conclusion:

To conclude, it could be said that minor procedures may sometimes lead to life threatening complications; thus, full antibiotic prophylaxis should be given before initiation of any (major or minor) surgical procedure to reduce incidences of post-operative morbidities.
Pain Management of Budd Chiari Syndrome in the Primary Care Setting: A Case Study
Authors: Murphy Pilar Z. , Thomas Jimiece , McClelland Taylor P.
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Budd Chiari Syndrome (BCS) is a very rare disease affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 people in the general population.  It is caused by an obstruction of the hepatic veins leading to blood backing up in the liver. Treatment options to improve hepatic blood flow and relieve ascites are well documented. However, there are no established guidelines or treatment preferences for pain associated with BCS while patients are awaiting other treatment options. 
Case: A 22-year-old African American female was diagnosed with Budd Chiari Syndrome.  The initial attempt at a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure failed.  While awaiting a second attempt at the procedure, the patient presented to her primary care provider complaining of abdominal and right upper quadrant pain.  Treatment guidelines were searched for acute pain management options; however, no BCS pain management guidelines exist.
Discussion: Individuals with BCS often present with abdominal pain, however, no guidelines outlining analgesic options in BCS exists.  Acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and opioids are commonly used prescription medications for moderate to severe pain.  Acetaminophen use was not considered due to acute liver injury and portal venous thrombosis.  Anticoagulation with apixaban prevented concurrent use with NSAIDs.  Opioid medications combined with acetaminophen were excluded to minimize exacerbating the liver injury.  Tramadol 25 mg was chosen due to its lower abuse profile than other opioid analgesics, and was initiated for pain management.
Conclusion: The patient reported adequate pain control with tramadol, tolerated the medication with no complications, and underwent a successful TIPS procedure one month later.  Abdominal pain is a common symptom of BCS and needs to be effectively managed.  Guidelines on treating pain associated with BCS in the outpatient setting would improve quality of life for patients and provide guidance to primary care providers requiring direction on how to address pain associated with Budd Chiari Syndrome safely and adequately.
Análisis normativo-institucional de los espacios verdes públicos ribereños en el Área Metropolitana de Neuquén (Argentina)
Authors: Lopez Micaela , Gentili Jorge
Published: May 2021

Los frentes de agua (waterfront en terminología inglesa) responden a una categoría emergente de espacio público. En el Área Metropolitana de Neuquén (Argentina) durante los últimos 10 años se ha promovido una región de cara al río. Elobjetivo del trabajo es analizar comparativamente el marco normativo-institucional que rige los espacios públicos verdes ribereños asentados en el tramo inferior del río Limay, en las ciudades de Neuquén y Plottier, con base en una metodología cualitativa de recolección de datos no obstrusivos en documentos y registros en archivos públicos. El análisis se realizó en torno a 4 ejes, jurisdicción de los espacios verdes, marco normativo-institucional de Ordenamiento Territorial Ambiental, planificación hídrica y Ordenamiento Territorial de Bosques Nativos. A nivel local se observó, por un lado, la necesidad de una mayor articulación entre instituciones de diversas jurisdicciones y ámbitos de acción, y por el otro, que la calidad de los espacios verdes no responde a criterios normativos cuantitativos sino cualitativos. A nivel general, resulta fundamental re-pensar las formas de gestionar los espacios verdes de una visión sistémica, y para tal fin, identificar y definir para cada región específica los ejes de abordaje adecuados.

Dampak Pandemi Covid berdampak pada industri jasa logistik baik secara kinerja maupun finansial. Dalam kondisi pandemi Covid-19, beberapa bisnis di industri jasa logistik tidak berjalan tidak seperti biasanya (busines as usual mode), tetapi bagaimana dapat bertahan (survival mode) dan dapat bergerak untuk ke tahapan pemulihan dan pertumbuhan (recovery and growth mode). Namun, tidak semua industri jasa logistik terkena dampak negatif dari Pandemi Covid-19, untuk itu diperlukan proses pemetaan industri terdampak dan yang dapat bertahan sehingga dapat dibuat strategi pemulihan bisnis pasca pandemi Covid-19.Dampak dan respon Industri Jasa Logistik terhadap upaya pemulihan sangat bervariasi, secara umum strategi pemulihan melambat karena kontradiksi antara “keinginan untuk meraih pasar baru” dan “kondisi tidak siap berinvestasi untuk pemulihan akibat tersendatnya aliran kas selama pandemi. Kontradiksi tersebut dapat diselesaikan dengan beberapa “Prinsip Inovasi” pelayanan logistik, termasuk dengan referensi “Praktek Baik” yang sukses di masa pandemik untuk menjadi standar Model Bisnis layanan logistik nasional.Perubahan model bisnis yang dapat menjamin aliran kas dapat membantu terkumpulnya keberanian untuk berinvestasi, dengan semangat menciptakan pasar baru dan memperkuat sistem layanannya agar segera pulih dan tumbuh. Ketika komunitas industri tidak sanggup untuk mengubah bisnis modelnya karena keterbatasan pendanaan dalam masa pandemi, maka Pemerintah dapat hadir dengan stimulus keuangan yang dapat memicu dan memacu pergerakan angkutan barang. Perubahan “Mekanisme Anggaran” (APBN/APBD/BUMN) diperlukan untuk menjamin aliran kas di dunia usaha sehingga mempercepat pergerakan barang dan ekonomi nasional.
A sedimentological record of fluvial-aeolian interactions and climate variability in the hyperarid northern Namib Desert, Namibia

The aeolian regime of the 100 km wide, hyperarid Namib Desert has been sporadically punctuated by the deposition of fluvial sediments generated during periods of higher humidity either further inland or well within the desert from Late Oligocene to Late Holocene. Four new Late Cenozoic formations are described from the northern Skeleton Coast and compared with formations further south: the Klein Nadas, Nadas (gravels, sands), Vulture’s Nest (silts) and Uniab Boulder Formations. The Klein Nadas Formation is a trimodal mass-flow fan consisting of thousands of huge, remobilised, end-Carboniferous Dwyka glacial boulders, many >3 m in length, set in an abundant, K-feldspar-rich and sandy matrix of fine gravel. Deluge rains over the smallest catchments deep within the northern Namib were the driving agent for the Klein Nadas Fan, the termination of which, with its contained boulders, rests on the coastal salt pans. These rains also resulted in catastrophic mass flows in several of the other northern Namib rivers. The Uniab Boulder Formation, being one, consists only of huge free-standing boulders. Gravelly fluvial deposition took place during global interglacial and glacial events. The Skeleton Coast Erg and other smaller dune trains blocked the rivers at times. The low-energy, thinly bedded silt deposits of the central and northern Namib are quite distinctive from the sands and gravels of older deposits. Their intermittent deposition is illustrated by bioturbation and pedogenesis of individual layers. Published offshore proxy climatological data (pollens, upwelling, wind, sea surface temperatures) point to expansion of the winter-rainfall regime of the southern Cape into southwestern Angola during strong glacial periods between the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene. In contrast to deposition initiated by short summer thunder storms, we contend that the silt successions are river-end accumulations within which each layer was deposited by runoff from comparatively gentle winter rains that lasted several days.
Fossil wood from the Upper Cretaceous crater sediments of the Salpeterkop volcano, North West Province, South Africa
Authors: de Wit M. , Bamford M.
Published: May 2021

The Salpeterkop volcano forms part of what has been referred to as the Upper Cretaceous Sutherland Suite of alkaline rocks, an igneous province composed of olivine melilitites, carbonatites, trachytes and ultramafic lamprophyres. Salpeterkop is a remnant of the summit tuff ring structure that surrounds a crater which is almost 1 km in diameter and is filled with epiclastic strata.

Five pieces of silicified wood were collected from the crater filled sediments, sectioned and identified as a new species of Cupressinoxylon, C. widdringtonioides. This is the first example of the fossil genus in South Africa. Only one member of the Cupressaceae s.l. occurs in southern Africa today. From the wide and indistinct growth rings in the fossil wood it can be deduced that the local climate was warm and humid with little or no seasonality, in support of global records of a warm Late Cretaceous. The preservation of the crater further signifies the low level of erosion the region has experienced since its emplacement.
Variance typographique et évolution linguistique*: analyse de la ponctuation dans cinq traditions textuelles imprimées au XVIe siècle

Published: May 2021

En este artículo tratamos la evolución de las prácticas de puntuación en el Renacimiento, a partir del análisis de cinco tradiciones textuales impresas. Estos cinco textos, de dos géneros diferentes (tres misterios y dos prosificaciones) fueron reeditados a lo largo del siglo XVI. Nuestro estudio demuestra que las prácticas puntuarias de los primeros impresores son similares a las de los copistas medievales, mientras que a partir de 1540 presentan progresivamente una mayor regularización. Esta investigación pretende explicar el uso de ciertos caracteres y signos de puntuación: como marcas de diferentes niveles enunciativos y sintácticos, como búsqueda de adecuación entre el fondo y la forma y como adecuación a las prácticas de lectura.

Published: May 2021

Este ensayo interpreta la obra de Bernard-Marie Koltès Dans la solitude des champs de coton (1986) desde el punto de vista de la microsociología de Erving Goffman. La interacción simbólica entre el Cliente y el Vendedor es analizada como una forma de ritual performativo desplegado en el no-lugar liminal de la supermodernidad, donde dos desconocidos se enzarzan en un concurso de caracteres con consecuencias fatales. Dado que ninguno de los dos es capaz de retirarse del enfrentamiento sin sufrir un insulto a la sacralidad del rostro, no pueden alcanzar un compromiso utilitario. La lucha, llevada a cabo de manera altamente ritualizada, comporta el fracaso del sistema social emergente.

Lexical Variability in French Translations of The Tale of Igor’s Campaign
Authors: Povarnitsyna Elena D.
Published: May 2021

In this article we consider the lexical variability of the French translations of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”. The research material includes the following lexical classes: color designations, flora and fauna names, as well as warfare terms. Lexical units are selected manually and processed with the help of a self-compiled parallel corpus of translated texts. A distinctive feature of the monument’s translations into foreign languages is the absence of the original text, which leads to a situation of multiple “original” texts. We have analyzed 11 texts of French translations of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” (some of the translations considered were unknown in Russian scientific practice), as well as the original Russian texts used by the translators (in case they were presented as parallel texts or mentioned in paratexts). We are faced with the situation of translation multiplicity, an actual area of research in modern translation studies, so we also considered the problem of multiplicity of original texts. The study revealed more than 30 occurrences of color designations lexemes, 99 uses of animal and plant names, as well as more than 100 occurrences of military lexical units. The features of translations of each lexical class were considered separately and the results of the analysis were compared. A number of reasons for lexical variability have been identified: differences in the original texts (reconstructions and translations into modern Russian), the abundance of “dark places” in the text of the monument (word boundary ambiguity in different reconstructions or lexemes that do not have a clear interpretation in modern Russian), different times of publication of the translation (during the period between 1823 and 2005), individual interpretations of the source text. A question about the correspondence of the translation devices used in recent translations of the “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” to the universal features of translation proposed by M. Baker, A. Berman and U. Eco has been raised. Most of them are applicable to the French translations of the famous epic. However, in some cases less common correlations have been found (meaning discrepancy, metonymic synonym, etc.).
Revisiting the Personality Traits and Dimensions within the Frame Work of Vedic Science
Authors: Radhey Shyam Kaushal
Published: May 2021

The personality, as the outer garment of the character, manifests on different fronts of human actions and is assessed in an organization through several parameters, the so-called personality traits and dimensions. One popular approach used for this purpose is that of Jung which is based on four cognitive styles of psychology. The personality theory of Jung, in fact, yields four sharp categories of personality using two opposite ways of gathering information, namely sensation and intuition and another pair of two opposite ways of evaluating information, namely thinking and feeling. These different ways of gathering and evaluating information combine to form matrix of four problem-solving behaviors in cognitive psychology. Using the basics of Vedic Science, in particular the science of the Self (as developed earlier through the patomic model of human Being [1]), a deeper foundation to this scheme of classification of Jung is suggested in the present work. While investigating the ingredients of personality at the most fundamental level within this frame work, certain clues to improving the personality are also given. Further, with reference to an integrated personality (in terms of integrated body, mind and soul towards the success of an action) a personality creation mechanism is suggested which yields a new classification scheme on the basis of Vedic Science. It is argued that modern methods for assessing the personality while lack in assessing the spiritual content in the personality, the scheme suggested here, however, is rich enough for this purpose.

Authors: Puja Jain  , Dr. Pratima Kaushik
Published: May 2021

Childhood obesity has been declared as a global epidemic. Several studies have reported inverse associations of childhood obesity with cognitive and psycho-social functioning of obese children. The present study is an attempt to understand the cognitive and psycho-social aspects of childhood obesity in Indian context. The objective of the study was to compare the cognitive functions (memory, attention, and visual retention) and psychosocial functioning (body shape concerns and insecurity) of obese children with normal weight controls. The cross sectional research was carried out. Purposive sampling was used to collect the sample of 30 obese children and 30 normal weight children (controls) from schools in Delhi. The inclusion criteria for cases and controls were obese and normal weight children as per ICMR criteria, within the age range of 10-14 years. Children with previous history of head injury or other physical, medical or neurological problems, chronic medical illness and other metabolic disorders (diabetes and thyroid), were excluded from the study. All the children were assessed on cognitive functions (Digit symbol test and immediate memory test) and psycho-social functioning (Body Shape Questionnaire, Mohsen’s security insecurity questionnaire). The performance of obese children was found to be poor compared to normal weight children by using t-test. Obese children performed significantly poor on attention and visual retention and immediate memory for direct reciprocation. However, there was no significant difference on reverse immediate memory test. Obese children were also found to be more insecure compared to the normal weight controls about their body image. Obese children expressed high body shape concerns compared to normal weight counterparts. Findings suggest independent associations of specific cognitive and psycho-social aspects with childhood obesity that can be targeted for prevention and management of this global epidemic.
Effectiveness of Flip Teaching Strategy on Academic Achievement of Student Teachers
Authors: Himanshu Tripathi
Published: May 2021

The concept of Flipped classroom is based on the concept of active learning, student engagement, hybrid course design and course podcasting. The classroom becomes a workshop where interaction among Educator and students takes place. Since effectively flipping a classroom brings many benefits, it will provide opportunities to B.Ed student teachers to learn at their own pace easily. In this study, B.Ed student teachers from two different teacher training institutes were randomly selected (22 from each having Economics as their optional teaching subject). In an institute, 11 students out of 22 were randomly assigned as the control and rest as the experimental group. So, 22 students were in the control and the experimental group combining both the institutes. The result in this strategy seems to be effective in teaching Economics by student teachers, without any monetary burden in creating active learning environment in the classroom.

Authors: Nahida Shaban  , Dr. Pardeep Kumar
Published: May 2021

Aggression or anger is an emotion felt by almost all of us in daily life. But in young adult age especially in student’s life this emotion can be very harmful if not managed properly. The current study investigates the level and gender differences in aggression by involving 100 participants (N = 100, 50 Males & 50 Females) from Lovely Professional University, Punjab. The age of the participants range from 18 to 25 (Mean = 22.44) years. The Aggression Scale has been used over a period of two months to collect data from both the genders. The results of the study present some interesting figures suggesting that female participants experience high aggression (30%) in comparison to male participants (22%). The results also suggest that overall 26% participants experience high aggression indicating that one fourth of the participants are on the higher side of aggression. Further, the results also indicate that though the percentage of female participants is high on aggression, but they do not differ significantly (t = -.568, p > .05) to their male counterparts on aggression. The results also differ from the general notion that males are aggressive than females. The results suggest that currently the pattern of aggression is changing and, in modern times, both males and females experience almost equal aggression.

Authors: Dhruvata Sharma  , Dr. Roopa Mathur
Published: May 2021

The study was conducted to examine a potential link between Hope and Emotional creativity (EC). In this context, Positive affect (PA) was explored as a mediator in the relationship between aforementioned variables. A sample of 300 undergraduate students from different streams namely- Fine arts, Fashion & Jewellery designing, Advertising and Conventional courses (B.A, B.Sc., B.Com.) was selected for the purpose. The results revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between Hope and EC (r = 0.121, p< 0.05); Hope and PA (r = 0.446, p< 0.01) and PA and EC (r= 0.194, p< 0.01). Regression analyses and Sobel- z test were used to test the research hypotheses. Mediation analyses revealed that Positive affect fully mediated the pathway between Hope and Emotional creativity.

The present study aimed to examine the efficacy of Distance Reiki on Perceived Stress. 60 software professionals from a software firm situated at Bangalore who met the inclusion exclusion criteria were taken up for the study. Sample was divided into two groups – experimental and control group (30 in each group). The intervention was carried out for 21 days for the experimental group and the control group was not given any intervention. Both groups were assessed at two time intervals- pre and post assessment. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) and socio demographic checklist was used to assess the participants of both the groups. The obtained data were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test to assess the significance level between the groups. Results of the study reveal that there is significant reduction in perceived stress from pre to post assessments in the intervention group.

Authors: Uzaina  , Dr. Anupama Srivastava
Published: May 2021

The present study examined the role of attachment level of adolescents with parents and peers and their indulgence in risk taking behaviour. Several studies have been reviewed on parental relationship with adolescents and adolescents risk taking behaviour. Researches over last few years have shown that indulgence of adolescents in risk taking behaviour and sexual activities is due to poor parenting practices and one of the prevailing factors is peer attachment. Since no studies related to attachment level of adolescents with parents and indulgence of adolescents in risk taking behaviour have been reviewed in Indian context. Thus to see the status of parent and peer attachment and risk taking behaviour among adolescents, this study was done on a sample of 100 undergraduate students that comprise of 50 males and 50 females. The results showed that females were more attached with their parents and peers in comparison to males. Risk taking behaviour and sexual activities were found to be higher among males than females. It was found that in females the desire of indulging in substance use and sexual activity was low as compared to males. First time indulgence in such behaviour was reported in presence of peers and due to peer pressure. Males reported that they faced ridicule because of not engaging in sexual activities and substance use. Thus positive peer pressure was found helpful in keeping females away from risk taking behaviour.

The present study aimed to study the hypothesis that whether temporal factors associated with the years of experience in internet use and years of experience in research make any differences in problematic internet use (PIU). Descriptive survey research design was followed in this study to examine the hypothesis. The sample of this study comprised of 673 research students pursuing Ph.D. degrees in technical institutions and arts and science universities in Tamilnadu.  The Online Cognition Scale measuring problematic internet use and Personal Information Blank were administered on the sample. One-way ANOVA was applied to find out the significant personal as well as temporal variations in problematic internet use. The results suggested that temporal factors were found to make significant differences in the social comfort, lonely/depressed, impulsive and distraction dimensions of problematic internet use.

India is gradually turning into graying nation. With increased life expectancy there is more number of citizens above 60-65 age range now. However the changes that come in later life – retirement, death of spouse, increased isolation – can lead to different psychological problems among which depression is quite common. At the same time, studies indicate that loneliness, self esteem are potent factors involved in such psychological problems. The present study was undertaken to find the relation of such factors on depression in elderly Kashmiris as well as their presence in different sections. The sample consisted of 100 old age retired persons taken from different districts of Kashmir. Geriatric Depression Scale, Rosenberg’s Self –Esteem Scale, and UCLA loneliness Scale were applied on the participants to collect the data. Spss 20 was used to analyse the data and results revealed significant positive as well as negative correlation among different variables. However no significant differences were found across gender and domicile of participants on any of the measure. Hence it is clear that there is relation of depression with lonliness and self-esteem, however the nature and the direction of effect is not fully established.
