Soybean is known as “golden bean”, “miracle crop” etc, because of its several uses, It is an excellent source of protein and oil. Soybean is considered an important crop because of its dual purpose that is oil seed as well as pulses crop. In Nagaland, soybean is cultivated almost in all the districts. The present study was carried out during the session 2021-22. The investigation was conducted in Kuhuboto block of Dimapur district of Nagaland. A total number of 120 respondents from 6 villages were selected using proportionate random sampling procedure.
The study was conducted with the objectives to find out the characteristics of soybean growers, the extent of knowledge and ascertain the extent of adoption behavior of farmers towards improved cultivation practices of soybean and to delineate the constraints faced by the respondents and to obtain their suggestions. An interview schedule based on the study was prepared and data were collected and processed through primary and secondary tables and statistical analysis. The respondents were contacted personally and interviewed. The study revealed that majority of the soybean growers belonged to middle aged group, acquired Upper Primary school education, had medium level of annual income with small size of land holding. Majority of them had medium (10-20) years of farming experience, use of sources of information and medium level of extension contact. It was observed that the majority (70.84%) of the respondents had medium level of knowledge on improved cultivation practices of soybean followed by 13.33% having high and 15.83% having low knowledge level respectively. In respect of correlation analysis between knowledge level and the independent variables, it shows that annual income, land holding and extension contact had positive and found to be significant. Whereas, age, education, marital status, family type, family size, type of house, occupation, farming experience, mass media exposure and source of information was found to be non-significant. As for analysis between adoption level and the independent variables, it was revealed that variables like annual income, land holding and extension contact are significantly associated with adoption of soybean growers. Further, the variables age, education, marital status, type of family, family size, type of house, occupation, farming experience, mass media exposure and source of information was found to be non significant. The major constraints faced by the respondents were lack of proper resources and capital, high cost of inputs, lack of proper information at time, lack of consultancy, shortage of labors etc.

This study is carried out to investigate the influence of Treasury Single Account (TSA), on public sector resources management in Nigeria: a study of south-south Nigeria. The study empirically explores the extent to which TSA has influenced appropriation control and cash management in the Nigerian public sector. To achieve these objectives, the survey research design was adopted using primary data with the help of a questionnaire distributed to purposely selected 300 staff of federal government MDAs in South-South Nigeria. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Regression analysis was used for data analysis and testing of hypothesis. The outcome of the study revealed that TSA has a very strong and positive relationship with level of appropriation in public sector in Nigeria. More so, TSA has a strong and positive relationship with level of cash management in public sector in Nigeria. Fraud control positively and significantly moderates the relationship between TSA and public sector resources management in Nigeria. This research concludes that the introduction of TSA has significantly enhanced consolidation of cash resources of the government. The study however, recommended among others that TSA adoption is essential for actualization of public sector resources management, thus government should create more awareness of the benefits of TSA to employees of MDAs and the general public. Government should ensure that internal control processes are adequate to monitor and deter employees’ corrupt activities. Adequate policies and regulations that would ensure TSA is extended to all agencies of government at all levels should be enacted.

Published: July 2022

From fatal heat waves and cruel droughts to devastating floods and fast depleting water tables, climate change is the greatest destructor in the current time creating a threat to all living organisms including human being. Teachers being the agents of social change have an important role to play in moulding the behaviour of children to cope with the climate change stress. The present study was carried out with 462 (222 pre-service and 240 in-service) elementary school teachers taking a Likert type five point attitude scale with 30 items having six dimensions viz., science of climate change, causes of climate change, impacts of climate change, mitigation, national initiatives and policies and politics of climate change.
From the study, it was noted that though both pre-service and in-service teachers had favourable attitude towards climate change issues, pre-service teachers had higher level of concern than in-service teachers as reflected from their attitude scores. Dimension wise pre-service and in-service teachers had favourable attitude towards science of climate change, causes of climate change, impacts of climate change and mitigation, and negative attitude towards national initiatives and policies and politics of climate change. Urban teachers were more favourable than rural teachers in first four dimensions studied.
However, among in-service teachers rural teachers were more concerned on issues such as impacts of climate change and causes of climate change than on science of climate change, mitigation, national initiatives, policies and politics of climate change. Among pre-service teachers, there was no significant difference in the attitude scores between science and arts teachers, and male and female teachers. However, urban teachers had more favourable attitude than rural teachers. Among in-service teachers, there was significant difference in the attitude scores as far as subject (science/arts) and residence (urban/rural) are concerned. Rural in-service teachers had more favourable attitude than urban teachers.
The correlation between knowledge and attitude showed a positive relationship which reflected that with increase in knowledge there was increase in concern. The relationship between age and attitude showed that with increase in teacher’s age concern for climate change increased.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the reliability of neck circumference in comparison to BMI for a measure of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and determine the interaction between neck circumference and the severity of apnea in the Pakistani adult population.
Materials and Methods: A total of 306 subjects, were recruited retrospectively for the cross-sectional research in the Department of Pulmonary Vascular and Sleep Disorders in Dow University Hospital, Karachi. We reviewed the hospital records to evaluate the BMI, neck circumference, and AHI from June 2018 to February 2022 by non-Random Purposive sampling. The patients 1) who were adults with age more than 18 years and 2) patients with obstructive sleep apnea who were diagnosed through the Polysomnography test were included. IBM SPSS statistics 25 was used for data analysis. Statistical significance was considered as a p-value <0.05.
Results: The average age was 52.3 ± 11.4 years. Results showed that sleep apnea was found to be more prevalent and severe in males than in females. Increased neck circumference is associated with the severity of sleep apnea and is found to be significant in male subjects (p=0.018) but not in females (0.577). The neck circumference and the BMI had a statistically significant relationship among the male group and female group (p=0.006 and p=<0.001) which shows that individually neck circumference is not a significant risk factor to diagnose OSA. In multivariate regression, we found a strong association between obesity (OR: 4.3; 95% CI: 2.03-9.38; p-value: 0.00) and males (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.41-3.73; p-value: 0.001) among obstructive sleep apnea patients.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the individuals who have large neck circumference have raised BMI, and the traditional indicators for instance males, older age, and BMI were associated with OSA but a larger neck circumference as an independent element was not linked to OSA. In addition, the correlation of large necks with OSA is found to be significant in male subjects but not in females.
Unraveling the Mechanism on Ultrahigh Efficiency Photocatalytic H2O2 Generation for Dual‐Heteroatom Incorporated Polymeric Carbon Nitride

Published: July 2022

AbstractPhotocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production from dioxygen and water is regarded as a promising technology since it can achieve sustainable and green solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion. Herein, oxygen and potassium dual‐heteroatom incorporated polymeric carbon nitride (O/KCN) is rationally designed for H2O2 generation with an ultrahigh rate of 309.44 µM h−1 mg−1, which surpasses that of other C3N4‐based photocatalysts. The enhanced performance can be ascribed to the effective light absorption, fast charge transfer/separation, strong oxygen adsorption, and highly selective two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Density functional theory calculations further confirm that the obtained O/KCN is more favorable than others for electrons migrating from β spin‐orbital to π* orbitals of O2 molecule, thus optimizing O2 molecule activation to promote the formation of intermediate species *OOH and decrease the energy barrier of H2O2 production. This work not only provides in‐depth insights for the photocatalytic H2O2 generation mechanism, but also lays the foundation for further development of highly active photocatalysts for environmental remediation and energy conversion.

AbstractPolyhydrides are a novel class of superconducting materials with extremely high critical parameters, which is very promising for sensor applications. On the other hand, a complete experimental study of the best so far known superconductor, lanthanum superhydride LaH10, encounters a serious complication because of the large upper critical magnetic field HC2(0), exceeding 120–160 T. It is found that partial replacement of La atoms by magnetic Nd atoms results in significant suppression of superconductivity in LaH10: each at% of Nd causes a decrease in TC by 10–11 K, helping to control the critical parameters of this compound. Strong pulsed magnetic fields up to 68 T are used to study the Hall effect, magnetoresistance, and the magnetic phase diagram of ternary metal polyhydrides for the first time. Surprisingly, (La,Nd)H10 demonstrates completely linear HC2(T) ∝ |T – TC|, which calls into question the applicability of the Werthamer–Helfand–Hohenberg model for polyhydrides. The suppression of superconductivity in LaH10 by magnetic Nd atoms and the robustness of TC with respect to nonmagnetic impurities (e.g., Y, Al, C) under Anderson's theorem gives new experimental evidence of the isotropic (s‐wave) character of conventional electron–phonon pairing in lanthanum decahydride.

Published: July 2022

AbstractCurved artificial compound eyes (ACEs) attract enormous research interest owing to their potential applications in medical devices, surveillance imaging, target tracking, and so on. However, fog, dust, or other liquids are likely to condense on the device surface under a humid, low‐temperature environment or outdoors, thus affecting the optical performance. In this work, a multi‐functional ACE (MF‐ACE) is fabricated by a combination of i) femtosecond laser wet etching, ii) soft lithography, and iii) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) swelling methods. The fabricated device is close‐packed with over 3000 microlenses (≈108 µm diameter and ≈15 µm height) on a spherical macrolens (6.56 cm diameter and 0.87 cm height). The trapped silicone oil in the cross‐linked PDMS endows the as‐fabricated ACE with excellent water repellence and anti‐fogging, anti‐fouling, and self‐cleaning abilities. In addition, the ACE shows high optical performance and the ommatidia have a spatial resolution of 50.8 lp mm−1. The imaging and focusing experiments demonstrate its high optical properties and uniformity. It is anticipated that this research may provide useful guidelines for the fabrication of anti‐fogging and anti‐fouling optical devices, and such device enables potential applications in autonomous vehicles, medical, or vision systems under harsh environmental conditions.
Density Functional‐Based Tight‐Binding Simulations of Pristine and Aluminum‐Modified Silica

Published: July 2022

AbstractUsing self‐consistent density functional tight‐binding simulations it is shown that Aluminum (Al) content in amorphous silica (a‐SiO2) changes its ideal microscopic structure in a manner compatible to densification. Similar to the structure of pressure‐densified a‐SiO2, the Al‐modified a‐SiO2 comprises a network of Silicon (Si)‐centered tetrahedra as well as unquenchable pentahedra and, to a smaller extent, hexahedra coordination defects. Al itself acts not only as a network former, with fourfold coordination, but also as a center for fivefold and sixfold coordination defects. Al content promotes densification since it shifts the potential energy minima at densities larger than in their pristine counterpart. Calculations uncover that Young's modulus (Y) and static dielectric constants (ε0) can be effectively doubled through densification. Oxygen starvation promotes network polymerization, which further increases Y and ε0. However, the small rings formation through Si─Si bonding and presence of undercoordinated Si introduce electronic states in the electronic band gap. The results provide guidance for the bottom‐up design of amorphous silica with tunable microscopic structure and properties desirable for advancing electronic applications.

Published: July 2022

AbstractHerein, we report a method that provides an array of benzocyclobutanol and benzocyclobutylamine derivatives with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeds by engaging triplet biradical atom transfer of olefinic compounds in the activation of remote C(sp3)−H bonds upon visible‐light irradiation. The reaction mechanism involves the generation of triplet excited state of diarylethylene derivative and subsequent HAT process, and then the further ring‐closing reaction affording the product via an electrocyclization process. The plausible mechanism is supported by control and deuterium labeling experiments, kinetic analysis, and DFT calculations.
Site‐Selective C−H Arylation of Diverse Arenes Ortho to Small Alkyl Groups

Published: July 2022

AbstractCatalytic systems for direct C−H activation of arenes commonly show preference for electronically activated and sterically exposed C−H sites. Here we show that a range of functionally rich and pharmaceutically relevant arene classes can undergo site‐selective C−H arylation ortho to small alkyl substituents, preferably endocyclic methylene groups. The C−H activation is experimentally supported as being the selectivity‐determining step, while computational studies of the transition state models indicate the relevance of non‐covalent interactions between the catalyst and the methylene group of the substrate. Our results suggest that preference for C(sp2)−H activation next to alkyl groups could be a general selectivity mode, distinct from common steric and electronic factors.
