 Abstract

The presence of metallic elements in the environment poses a significant risk to both ecosystems and human communities. These elements, including copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), are common pollutants that can infiltrate the soil through various human activities such as industrial processes, mining, and agriculture. The role of Environment in seed germination is big chaser but soil and mineral elements are playing a big role in germination also. The hazardous effect of Copper and Nickel individually assessed on seed germination and seedling growth of Raphanus sativus variety Pusa Rashmi. It was noticed that both the heavy metals badly affected the seed germination and seedling growth at higher concentrations near about 200 PPM and 500 PPM. Copper was more toxic than Nickel to both seed germination and seedling growth. All the concentrations of Copper and Nickel used except 10 PPM onward showed a gradual decline in seed germination and seedling growth of Raphanus sativus L. variety Pusa rashmi.

 Abstract

Health related problems such as eating disorders, obesity is found to be related with eating attitudes. In the present study, a non clinical sample of (75 adolescent females) 16 to 18 years of age were incorporated. All the participants were tested on Eating Attitude Test, Multi Dimensional Perfectionism Scale, Barrat's Impulsivity Scale, Locus of Control, Body Esteem Scale, Body Shape Questionnaire and along with these their BMI was calculated. For the purpose Kelly's (1935) method of principal axis was used for factorization of the correlation matrix to partial out to some extent the influence of the extraneous factors. The 21 variables were inter-correlated by means of product moment correlations. The 21 x 21 matrices of inter correlations obtained were subjected to factor analysis. Eight factors were found to account for the bulk 71.29% of variance in females. Factors extracted for female adolescents were perfectionism, sexual attractiveness, body satisfaction, motor, individual control, bulimia, attention and perseverance.

 Abstract

A fundamental component of democratic governance is the participation of citizens in decision-making. Citizen participation in decision making is highly essential in a country such as India with a rich democratic tradition. Citizen participation aims to ensure transparency, accountability and responsiveness in governance. With the establishment of numerous mechanisms and platforms to involve citizens in the governance process, this participation has significantly developed in India. This article investigates the idea of citizen participation in India, following its historical evolution, looking at current practices, and surveying the adequacy of these components. Using relevant statistics and case studies, it also delves into the challenges and opportunities that citizen participation presents.

 Abstract

Solid waste management is a pressing global concern driven by urbanization, industrialization, and population growth. The judiciary plays a vital role in shaping effective solid waste management practices through policy direction, enforcement, and public awareness. This paper explores judicial trends in solid waste management by examining landmark cases and judicial pronouncements across various jurisdictions. Key cases, such as Almitra H. Patel vs. Union of India in India, City of Chicago v. Environmental Defense Fund in the United States, and European Commission vs. Italy, demonstrate the judiciary's impact on waste management policies and practices. Judicial principles like sustainable development and the polluter pays principle have been emphasized to ensure long-term environmental sustainability. Despite significant judicial interventions, challenges such as implementation issues, judicial overreach, and consistency in rulings persist. This paper highlights the critical role of judicial decisions in driving policy reforms, enforcement, and public advocacy in solid waste management, providing insights for future policy development and judicial action.

 Abstract

The study was conducted to examine the impact of students' use of social media sites on their academic performance. On the basis of random sampling, a sample of (n=130) undergraduate students were selected. Questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. The entire questionnaire received back from respondents on which descriptive statistics apply for data analysis. The study revealed that majority of the respondents in Moradabad had mobile phones with internet facility and had knowledge of the existence of social media sites. As a result, 41.53% respondents visit their social media sites and spend between one to seven hours every day. In addition, the study revealed that the use of social media had affected academic performance of the respondents negatively and further confirmed that there was a strong positive relationship between the use of social media and academic performance. So, there is an urgent need for the introduction of students to the availability of other information resources or materials that can help them academically. Students should be encouraged to limit the time they spend on their social media sites per day and advise them to rather substitute those hours to read other informative sources to improve their knowledge.

 Abstract

The gig economy has experienced remarkable growth in India over the past decade, propelled by several key factors like widespread availability of mobile devices with internet connectivity facilitating last-mile access for platform workers to connect with customers. The proliferation of app-based technologies in the past five years has further accelerated this growth trajectory. India's booming gig economy is drawing millennials, including women, with its promise of alternative employment avenues. For women workers, the gig economy holds particular significance as digital platforms are seen as potential vehicles for increasing their participation in the labor market. India has long grappled with the issue of low and declining female labor force participation, with rates among the lowest in South Asia. Against this backdrop, the rapid expansion of India's gig economy could help alleviate some of the barriers women face by offering flexibility to balance care obligations while engaging in work. Despite the increasing participation of women in the gig economy, many of the available jobs remain concentrated in traditionally female-dominated and low-wage sectors such as domestic work, caregiving, beauty, and wellness. Gig work presents a multitude of challenges for women, including limited access to the digital economy and concerns regarding security and safety, which hinder their full engagement in this sector. Addressing these challenges is essential to ensure that women can fully benefit from and contribute to the opportunities presented by the gig economy.
