Authors: Singh Neeraj , Roy Shubhadeep , SM Vanitha , Rai AB , Singh VK , Singh B
Published: July 2024

Vegetable production in India constitutes around 60 per cent of its total horticultural production. India is the second largest producer of vegetables in the world next to China having an area of 9.40 million hectares producing 162.90 million tons of vegetables during the year 2013- 14. Vegetables play an important role in building nutritional and livelihood security in rural and peri-urban households due to their shorter duration, high yield and high value, nutritional richness, early economic returns and ability to generate on-farm and off-farm employment. The major states growing vegetables are West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu accounting for around 77 per cent of the total national vegetable production. With current level of vegetable production in the country (162.2 million tons), population (1.27 billion) and considering 25% postharvest losses and 5% export and processing, per capita availability of vegetables in our country is 250 g as against 300 g recommended dietary allowance (RDA)

Authors: Chauhan Ajay , Sharma Akhilesh , Kumari Vedna
Published: July 2024

The present investigation was conducted on newly generated material of sugar snaps comprising of 29 advanced breeding lines (F7) developed from 4 interspecific crosses at HP Agricultural University, Palampur along with 7 lines collected from different institutes in randomized complete block design over three replications during winter 2016-17. The phenotypic (PCV) and genotypic (GCV) coefficients of variation were high for straw yield/plant while branches/ plant, internodal length, pods/plant, dry pod weight and seed yield/plant showed high PCV with moderate GCV. High heritability and genetic advance was recorded for internodal length, plant height, straw yield/plant, dry pod weight and seed yield/plant, indicating additive gene effect for their inheritance. Seed yield/plant was positively associated with pod length, seeds/pod, protein content of seed, straw yield/  and 100-seed weight both at phenotypic and genotypic levels. Harvest index and straw yield contributed maximum via their direct and indirect contributions towards totalassociation of these traits with seed yield while, nodes/ plant, internodal length, 100-seed weight and seeds/pod also contributed to some extent. Therefore, these traits would be of great significance for achieving enhanced performance of genotypes for seed yield.

Leafy vegetables are the most important diet component ofdifferent tribal and local communities of Jharkhand as theyare rich source of nutrients and micronutrients. Most of theleafy vegetables are highly perishable. Drying reduces themoisture content to a safety level and allows storage over along period. In the present study, performance of thee dryingmethods viz. conventional sun drying (SD), solar cabinetdryer (SCD) and electric cabinet dryer (ECD) were evaluatedin drying of six lesser known leafy vegetables viz., Moringaoleifera, Polygonum plebeium, Centella asiatica,Limnophila conferta, Bauhinia variegata and Amaranthusviridis. Study revealed that in SCD the average temperaturewas 50C higher over SD method which allowed faster removalof moisture from the vegetable leaves. Among the threedrying methods, ECD was the fastest (drying time 2.2-3.0hr) method followed by SCD and SD (3.4-10.0 hr) methods.Initially, moisture content decreased at faster rate whichwas slowed down gradually with time. Drying rate constantwas higher for SD (0.12-0.50 hr-1) followed by SCD (0.03-0.20 hr-1) and ECD (0.0002-0.014 hr-1) methods. The rate ofdrying efficiency was recorded highest in ECD methodfollowed by SCD and SD methods irrespective of all theleafy vegetables. Keeping in view the erratic power supply,drying time, hygiene and safety, SCD can be betteralternative to sun drying. On the basis of portability andcost effectiveness, the solar cabinet dryer is recommendedfor small farmers of the Jharkhand.

The following results were obtained: Average live weight at the end of the starter period (1-4 weeks): control - 0.562 ±0.09 kg, experimental - 0.585 ± 0.10 kg; at the end of the growing period (5-18 weeksbeginning of laying): control- 3.124±0.29kg, experimental- 3.162±0.32 kg.Average consumption of feed for 1 bird per period: starter: control - 0.868±0.105kg, experimental - 0,869±0,098kg; at the end of grower (5-18 weeks - beginning of laying): control - 8.463±0.240kg, experimental - 8.736±0.194kg. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups, both in terms of growth by week and period, and in terms of feed consumption. A savings of funds (in BGN) was reported for the experimental group of 10% in both sub-periods compared to the control (purchased feed).

Published: July 2024

Balancing family obligations and personal vocational aspirations is vital for college students as stepping into adulthood. By integrating the indigenous psychological and personal-social perspectives, this review article discussed theoretical perspectives and empirical studies on the role of agency and the effects of Filial Piety in college students' vocational identity development. Existing studies and theoretical perspectives indicated that Filial Piety, the core Chinese value of parent-child interaction, may influence college students' vocational identity by shaping specific agentic capacities and the psychological foundation of agency development. This article also reviewed related educational models and effectiveness studies for applications in career education. In conclusion, this article suggested future studies to elaborate on the effects of filial piety on college students' vocational identity and agentic capacities. It also suggested career educational programs to enhance the agency of college students to handle family-related challenges in career development.

Published: July 2024

This study employs a grounded theory approach to critically analyze the essence and implementation of Ideological and Political Education (IPE) within College English curricula at Chinese universities. Analyzing 80 award-winning lesson plans from the "Teaching Star Competition" organized by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, this research delineates the specific elements that constitute IPE and identifies the instructional methodologies through which it is integrated into language education. The findings highlight how IPE strategically merges linguistic training with civic education, aiming to cultivate a strong national identity and cultural pride while simultaneously enhancing students' global competencies. The core categories of IPE include critical thinking, professional ethics, and cross-cultural communication skills, all of which are supported by the innovative use of technological resources and adaptive pedagogical strategies. The study also details the comprehensive assessment mechanisms in place that evaluate both cognitive and affective outcomes, showcasing the multidimensional nature of IPE. This research contributes to the discourse on the integration of ideological education in Chinese higher education settings. This study not only clarifies the theoretical underpinnings of IPE but also offers practical insights into its operationalization, thereby guiding educational strategies aimed at achieving comprehensive educational objectives. The findings have implications for future curriculum development and educational policy reform, suggesting ways to enhance the effectiveness of IPE in fostering well-rounded individuals capable of contributing to both national and global contexts.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT Mathematics anxiety (MA) has emerged as a significant concern in recent years, recognized for its potential to interfere with learning processes. Our study delved into exploring the relationship between the presence and level of MA and the ability to acquire math skills required by the school curriculum. For this purpose, secondary school students were monitored during their first year of study. A questionnaire designed to assess MA and a math skills assessment test were administered on two separate occasions: initially at the end of the first term and subsequently at the conclusion of the second term. The results of the end-of-year tests indicated that students with high levels of MA, assessed at the beginning of the school year, showed a significantly greater risk of failing to achieve the required competence. These findings seem to support the notion that a high level of MA can significantly contribute to hindering the acquisition of educational outcomes.

El valle del Río España, con un marcado carácter rural y unos reconocidos valores ambientales y culturales, se enfrenta al desafío de la despoblación y sus múltiples implicaciones. La diversificación de su economía a través del desarrollo de destinos turísticos inteligentes (DTI) puede jugar un papel clave para hacer frente a dichos retos. El objetivo de este trabajo es implicar a la comunidad local en la creación de un DTI. Se utilizó la Inteligencia Territorial como método y los living labs como herramienta de aplicación. La creación de un espacio intergeneracional como lugar de intercambio de información y establecimiento de nuevas fórmulas de gobernanza resultó clave para recuperar y digitalizar los recursos del Valle. De esta manera, a partir de la información recopilada por los vecinos, se desarrolló una plataforma web colaborativa como reservorio de información digital. La implantación del DTI se logró estableciendo una red de puntos de interés turístico con los recursos más sobresalientes. Estos recursos llevan asociados un código QR que enlaza con la información recogida por los vecinos en la plataforma web colaborativa. Así, los vecinos se convierten en protagonistas de su propia historia y en guionistas del relato territorial que quieren contar a los visitantes de su Valle.

TikTok presents a compelling opportunity for marketers to engage with a diverse community of sports enthusiasts. However, there is limited empirical evidence addressing how demographic factors, such as gender, educational background, and academic programs, intersect to influence consumer decisions regarding sports merchandise purchases on TikTok Shop. This study examines the variations in purchasing intention of sports items on TikTok Shop based on gender, educational institutions, and academic programs. Conducted among 222 undergraduate sports students from both public and private educational institutions, the research utilized the students purchasing intention of sports items on TikTok Shop (rated on a 10-point scale) as its primary instrument. The findings revealed no significant difference in the main effect of students' purchasing intention of sports items on TikTok Shop, including gender (F (1, 216) = .720, p = .397), academic program (F (1, 216) = .042, p = .838), and educational institutions (F (1, 216) = .042, p = .838). These findings underscore the importance for businesses operating on TikTok Shop and other digital platforms to adopt a more inclusive and universal approach in their marketing strategies and product offerings, rather than segmenting them based on demographic or institutional factors.
