description: Abstract

The current research aims to explore the multifold implications of the digital age on skill development and education in India by focusing on the changing requirement of the workforce. The current study undertakes the acute issue that how nation’s education and skill development initiatives and policies must develop to orient its workforce with the required competencies to survive in digital era. Strategic challenges include traditional focus on rote learning, discrepancies in technology accessibility, and a vigorous job market that requires continuous upskilling. The study is descriptive in nature. Secondary resources are used to conduct the study undertaken. It includes various research papers, journals, articles and publications of government research papers. The study undertaken provides insight into the juncture of skill development, education, digital era by primarily focusing on the evolving workforce of the country. It has been explored that the Digital India Programme and the National Skill Development Mission have played a very pivotal role with reference to changing needs of the Indian workforce. The current study strongly advocates that the initiatives and policies that focus on quality education and skill development play a crucial role in developing an inclusive society.

Remarks. All larvae collected were in their 5 th (final) instar. The cases are the characteristic flattened flask shape, comprising two tightly joined valves. The larvae are recognised by their general form, with body laterally compressed and mid- and hind legs 1.5 to 2X length of forelegs (see Marshall 1979 for full details). Oxyethira larvae are usually found in slower-flowing waters among filamentous green algae, upon which they are reported to feed (Marshall 1979).

description: We present here RadioSED, a Bayesian inference framework tailored to modelling and classifying broadband radio spectral energy distributions (SEDs) using only data from publicly-released, large-area surveys. We outline the functionality of RadioSED, with its focus on broadband radio emissions which can trace kiloparsec-scale absorption within both the radio jets and the circumgalactic medium of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). In particular, we discuss the capability of RadioSED to advance our understanding of AGN physics and composition within youngest and most compact sources, for which high resolution imaging is often unavailable. These young radio AGN typically manifest as peaked spectrum (PS) sources which, before RadioSED, were difficult to identify owing to the large, broadband frequency coverage typically required, and yet they provide an invaluable environment for understanding AGN evolution and feedback. We discuss the implementation details of RadioSED, and we validate our approach against both synthetic and observational data. Since the surveys used are drawn from multiple epochs of observation, we also consider the output from RadioSED in the context of AGN variability. Finally, we show that RadioSED recovers the expected SED shapes for a selection of well-characterised radio sources from the literature, and we discuss avenues for further study of these and other sources using radio SED fitting as a starting point. The scalability and modularity of this framework make it an exciting tool for multiwavelength astronomers as next-generation telescopes begin several all-sky surveys. Accordingly, we make the code for RadioSED, which is written in Python, available on Github.

description: LGBTQ+ individuals exhibit poorer mental health outcomes compared to heterosexual individuals, with bisexual and pansexual women often facing heightened challenges relative to gay men and lesbian women. This research examines potential risk and protective factors in the coming out experiences of bi+ women compared to lesbian women. The study focuses on differences becoming aware of one’s sexuality, experiences with discrimination, and community support. An open-ended response survey of 185 participants indicated varying experiences between bi+ and lesbian women among the observed factors. Findings indicated that bi and pan women discover their sexuality through self-reflection, often selectively disclosing it, whereas lesbians used both self-reflection and interpersonal relationships to come to be aware of their sexuality, with varied disclosure. Both groups noted feeling exclusively connected within their subgroups, reporting varying negative experiences. Bi+ individuals often highlighted biphobia and monosexism as negative experiences, while lesbians reported a broader range of negative experiences without a concentrated focus. This research identified potential risk factors, including coming out and discrimination, as well as protective factors, such as connection to the LGBTQ+ community, which likely contribute to mental health disparities among sexual minority women. Identifying potential risk and protective factors can inform the development of targeted interventions, policies, and efforts to foster inclusivity and promote supportive LGBTQ+ community dynamics.

(Fig. 19)
Material examined. ANGOLA: 1 cased larva, [CAW 740H], Moxico Province, Cuanavale River, Site 1—upstream of source lake (closer to lake), aquatic vegetation, handnet, -13.0882, 18.89298, 30/x/2016, I.S. Ferreira; 1 cased larva, [CAW 755M], Moxico Province, Cuanavale River, Site 3—upstream of source lake (further from lake), aquatic vegetation, handnet, -13.0935, 18.89627, 31/x/2016, I.S. Ferreira.
Remarks. The larvae clearly key to this genus, but collection of adults or pharate adults is required for confirmation of identity. Larvae of Tricholeiochiton generally live among aquatic macrophytes and, like other members of the subfamily Hydroptilinae, feed on filamentous green algae according to Marshall (1979).

Fig. 1
Description (Fig. 1). Male. Body length 3.9mm. Arista sparsely plumose along entire length. Setae brown. Ocellar and postvertical setae both relatively short and thin. Presutural intra-alar seta absent. Two dorsocentral setae. Acrostichal seta absent. One lateral scutellar seta. Venter of mid tibia with hairs short, dense and erect. Antenna white with thin light brown stripe extending from arista that fades before base of first flagellomere; anterior margin of frons, back of head below foramen and face white; parafacial, gena and occiput white and silvery-tomentose; back of head with one pair of brown stripes that disappear before reaching foramen; remainder of frons yellow with ocellar tubercle and stripe along orbital plate (not reaching lateral margin and with outer emargination between mid and hind fronto-orbitals) brown. Notum dark brown with thin yellow line along inner margin of postpronotum and three yellow lines anteromedially on scutum (center stripe longest). Halter white with base of stem slightly brownish. Pleuron light yellow, becoming white ventrally. Legs yellowish-white. Wing slightly dusky with distal half from costa to center of cell r2+3 darker. M1+2 ratio 4.2. Abdomen dark brown with surstylus white.
Female. Unknown.
Male terminalia. Not dissected. Cerci small, rounded and slightly projecting. Surstylus much longer than epandrium and relatively narrow, particularly before base, with apex broader, incurved and arched; stout, pointed tubercle-like setae along inner margin of apical and posterior surfaces on distal half.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the shape of the long, curved surstylus, compounding the Greek for crooked (myllos) and “forceps/tongs” (labis).
Holotype: BURUNDI. KayanzaProv.: Parc National de la Kibira, Rwegura Sector, 02˚55.320’S, 29˚30.067’E, 21– 26.xi.2012, 2237m, A.H. Kirk-Spriggs (1♂, BMSA).
Comments. Sobarocephala myllolabis is readily differentiated from congeners by a mostly white head with a dark orbital stripe, a dark notum and abdomen with several thin yellowish anteromedial lines on the scutum, and a large, narrow, anteriorly curved surstylus. The arista is also sparsely plumose and the gena and occiput form a large, silvery trianglular region similar to many Allometopon. This taxon cannot at present be confidently placed in any species group without dissection, which should ideally be performed following the collection of additional material.

(Figs 37–39)
Material examined. Holotype male, [CAW 855M, slide], ANGOLA, Huila Province, Cubango River, Site 21 — downstream of rapids at ruins of hydropower plant, at light, -14.3384, 16.29331, 15/v/2017, I.S. Ferreira & M. Mlambo.
Diagnosis. A member of the Or. angustella -group, this species resembles very closely Or. straeleni Jacquemart 1956 from Lake Kivu, (now) DRC, but differs in several features of male genitalia, particularly the length of the inferior appendages about 2X longer, the inferior appendages in lateral view more slender and the proximal spine on tergite X more slender.
Description. Male. Length of each forewing 1.8 mm (n = 1); short pocket of jet-black scales proximally on costal margin (Fig. 44). Antennae 29 flagellomeres, rectangular in profile, surface bearing close-packed sensilla placodea.
Abdominal sternite VIII with well-developed medial lobe bearing stoutish setae. Genitalia: segment IX with lateral margins produced distally to form unequal mesally curved processes, left longer than right, each bearing long stout seta subapically, tergite X (‘dorsal plate’) membranous, stout in dorsal view, with 2 sharp opposing spurs at about 2/3 length curved toward right; inferior appendages unequal, discrete basally, left constricted at distal 2/3, apical region forming slender twisted process, bilobed processes slender, closely associated, ventral apodeme (mesoventral apotome at base of inferior appendages) short narrow; phallus long, slender, with spiral titillator at about half length.
Etymology. The species is named mlamboi after Musa Mlambo a scientist and colleague at the Albany Museum.
Distribution. Known only from Angola.
Remarks. The new species of Orthotrichia is one of a set of closely similar African species all with strongly asymmetric male genitalia.AW examined types where available on loan, including the very large collection of slides of Orthotrichia straeleni from the RBINS (58 slides in total), including the holotype (dissected and in parts on 4 slides) and several paratypes. The slides are very poor, a number of the specimens squashed beyond recognition.All the ‘adequate’ preparations of males show features consistent with Jacquemart’s (1956) description and are distinct from Or. mlamboi. AW also examined the holotypes of Or. petiti Jacquemart 1962 (on loan from RBINS; from Zaire), and Orthotrichia nova Marlier 1978 (on loan from RMCA; from Angola), again finding all distinct from Or. mlamboi. The type male of Or. verbekei Jacquemart 1957 (on loan from RBINS), from (now) Democratic Republic of Congo, also differs.

description: This study investigated the biochemical changes in chilli plants resistant or susceptible to bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, following inoculation and treatment with copper hydroxide. Treated inoculated plants exhibited significant increases in ionic contents, including phosphorus (3.25%), nitrogen (8.98%), and micronutrients such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, and copper. Enhanced biochemical parameters were observed, including chlorophyll (80.78 µmol), peroxidase (2.22 µg/g), catalase (4.10 µg/g), hydrogen peroxide (3.30 µg/g), total phenolic compounds (14156.61 µg/g), superoxide dismutase (4.13 µg/g), total soluble proteins (3.87 µg/g), and total soluble sugars (3.17 µg/g), compared to untreated inoculated plants. These results highlight the biochemical alterations linked to disease resistance and offer insights for developing effective formulations to combat bacterial wilt in chilli.

Cicada (Calyria) Stål 1862: 22.
TYPE SPECIES.— Cicada (Calyria) blanda Stål 1862: 22. (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
REMARKS.—Five apical cells in the hind wings, ocelli that are well separated from the base of the head, and the indistinct fore wing postcostal area distinguish species of Calyria (Distant 1906a). The ventrolateral postclypeus is flattened without an obvious apical extension and the pronotum has parallel lateral surfaces for most of its length.
DISTRIBUTION.—Species of the genus have been reported previously from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2014a; 2019b; 2020a, b, c; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

description: Composites made with a hybrid metal matrix have gained importance in recent times. In this study, the mechanical and tribological properties of Al7075/W/MoS2 hybrid composite materials were investigated using ultrasonic assisted stir casting method. The matrix material used was an aluminium alloy (Al7075), while the reinforcement comprised of tungsten (W) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) particles. MoS2 was added to the molten metal in a constant proportion of 1%, while tungsten particles were added in increments of 1%, 2%, and 3% to the matrix. The hybrid composite samples underwent mechanical characterisation to determine their tensile, impact, density, and hardness test, as well as tribological characterisation. The microstructure was also examined using a scanning electron microscope to understand the uniform distribution of reinforcement particles. The findings exhibited that addition of W and MoS2, characteristics improved steadily as compared to the base metal. The composites exhibited remarkable microstructure stability, high strength, and hardness.

description: To leverage the angular resolution of interferometry at high contrast, one must employ specialized beam-combiners called interferometric nullers. Nullers discard part of the astrophysical information to optimize the recording of light present in the dark fringe of the central source. Asgard/NOTT will deploy a beam-combination scheme offering good instrumental noise rejection when phased appropriately, but for which information is degenerate on the outputs, prompting a dedicated tuning strategy using the science detector. The dispersive effect of water vapor can be corrected with prisms forming a variable thickness of glass. But observations in the L band suffer from an additional and important chromatic effect due to longitudinal atmospheric dispersion coming from a resonance of CO2 at 4.3 micron. To compensate for this effect efficiently, a novel type of compensation device will be deployed leveraging a gas cell of variable length at ambient pressure. After reviewing the impact of water vapor and CO2, we present the design of this atmospheric dispersion compensation device and describe a strategy to maintain this tuning on-sky.
