Preface
Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 has compelled us to quarantine in our home. Apart from the countries in world, India too is badly affected by this phenomenon. Government imposed lockdown so people stay at home and help the humanity to break the chain of Corona virus. As the Covid19 outbreak continues and all communication channels from Government to media is urging people from mid-March to stay home, people now habituated spending time leisurely on their couch, started consuming and creating contents from home on various mediums.
From last 60 days, social distancing and social isolation has become popular habit and it’s no surprise to say that people has started consuming enormous amount of data in creation and dissemination of digital contents. For all of us various mediums including Social media, emerged as a massive communication tool.
National Institute of Mass Communication and Journalism (NIMCJ) took this opportunity to study on the media consumption pattern in this lockdown period and tried to understand how people consumed data and contents in various forms.
Abstract: In todays’ fast paced world we keep ourselves updated and informed about various happenings around us and form opinions and make judgments on various issues through the use of social media. Internet and rapid digitalization has impacted every aspect of lives across all age groups by making our communication impersonal. Usage of social media and Social Networking Sites (SNS) has increased significantly with far reaching impacts on the social, emotional, academic and physical development of the youth today. All forms of communications particularly, face-to-face social interactions have been reduced to virtual chats over the internet. Extensive usage of SNS is also influencing their interpersonal relationships particularly with their family members, friends and society at large which is likely to be more pronounced in the impressionable age group of 15 – 25 years. This paper endeavors to throw light on above mentioned aspects through research, review of literature and aims to examine the impact of social media on the social behavior of urban Indian youth with special reference to the youth of Ahmedabad.

It is being jointly organized by NIT Silchar, in association with its USA partner the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
In the recent years, there has been a significant revolution in mobile technology and the entire electronics industry. In fact, major technology companies have made significant milestones in the industry such as developing cell phones which can detect the fingerprints of an individual. Also, mobile technology has eased global linkage, and proximity is insignificant because communication can be done from anywhere in the world. Mobile phones have had a significant effect on our culture especially reducing human interaction and making most people spend all their time on their mobile devices. This study, therefore, seeks to determine the impact of mobile technology on culture.

Effects of Television on Activity Pattern of Deaf Children
Abstract
Children born with or who aquired physical disabilities in their life spans are, at times, subjected to the risk of being barred from contributing in various activities in the society. Children need to be involved daily in social activities, an objective shared by the available service providers, organizations, and parents involved in children rehab. The children should be able to participate in artistic, cultural, and creative activities; sports-skills based activities; work based activities; and play activities. However, current developments in the fields of technology increases the level of interaction people have with disabled children. From this perspective, children simultaneously interact with the television while developing quintessential life skills. The resulting television effect is evident on patterns of activities children with hearing problems are exposed to. The acquired skills provide the children with social interaction and increases their overall intelligence. The television and other technological devices are equally important factors in designing activities and creating activity patterns for the children living with hearing disabilities. These patterns enable them to develop a framework of skills which impact their growth. Additionally, it is important to assist children with hearing disabilities through the incorporation of hearing aid equipment and devices. Television is portrayed as a more reliable infrastructure in influencing learning and influencing patterns of activities. However, according to Payne Funds Studies children with hearing problems are not exempted negative side-effects developed from watching excess television.

In Vitro Shoot Regeneration and Rooting of Piper Longum L.: A valuable Medici...AnuragSingh1049
Piper longum L (Long pepper), of family Piperaceae, is an important medicinal plant in Sri Lanka. Cultivation of Piper longum L. till recently was not very common and still it is extensively collected from the wild owing to the increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry, threatening the very existence of the plant. Poor seed viability and low germination, scanty and delayed rooting of vegetative cuttings restrict its propagation through sexual and vegetative propagation methods indicating a need of alternative approaches such as in vitro techniques for large scale propagation of this medicinally important plant. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop an effective in vitro propagation protocol for Long pepper using nodal segments as ex plants, obtained from a shade house grown mature plant. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was used throughout the experiment. For shoot proliferation, MS medium supplemented with combination of 1-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), Kinetin (KIN) and different levels of N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) were used. In vitro rooting was achieved to 50% strength MS basal medium containing 1mg/L. The highest frequency of multiple shoot regeneration, that is 87.5% and the maximum number of, 36-40 shoots/ex plants in one sub culture (within 8 weeks after inoculation) were observed in MS media containing BAP (3 mg/L), KIN (0.5mg/L) and NAA (0.2mg/L). The maximum number of roots (6-8 per plantlet) were obtained in 50% MS basal medium + glucose (15 g/L) + Ascorbic acid (100 mg/ L) and gelled with 0.8% (w/v) agar supplemented with NAA (1 mg/L). In vitro rooted shoots were successfully acclimatized in the shade house conditions. Therefore, it is possible to deduce that the current protocol is promising for in vitro mass propagation of Piper longum L. to solve the reproduction and cultivation problem of the plant.

Recently, Calcium Titanate has been introduced as a bioactive bioceramic with acceptable mechanical and better biological properties compared to hydroxyapatite for orthopaedic implant applications. In this study, CaTiO3 nano-structure coating was produced by sol-gel spin-coating route for biomedical applications. Calcium oxide and titanium isopropoxide were used as a precursor for the sol-gel spin-coating. After coating process, the specimen was subjected to heating in oven at 100oC for 24 hours and the sample was heated at 800°C for 2 hours. The phase structure and surface morphology of coating were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, it concluded that the uniform crack-free nano-structured CaTiO3 coatings could be used for the biomedical application.
Assessment of Flow Control using Passive Devices around Bluff BodiesAnuragSingh1049
This article presents a review study on the experimental investigation of aerodynamic force on a car like bluff bodies along with the simulations using different turbulence models used in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The aim of the study is to find a useful method for the better design of a car body. It was observed that combination of wind tunnel experiments and CFD computation can lead to better aerodynamic design. Significant reduction in coefficient of the lift and drag for a car model were found when a more streamlined body design was adopted. Appropriate change in the slant angle for the car body can significantly reduce the fuel consumption. Also, the use of simulations in combination with the experimental observations helps in predicting the flow behavior more accurately.
Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Association Augments Antioxidant Activity of ...AnuragSingh1049
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza treatment on antioxidant activity of leaves of Vitex negundo. Mycorrhiza spores were added to the plants at different time intervals the plants were catergoried as T1, T2, T3 and T4 according to treatments. T1 plants are control while T2, T3 and T4 plants received treatment of spores for one time, twice at intervals of 30 days and every day for 15 days till harvesting. After harvesting and processing of the leaves, methanolic extracts were prepared by maceration and designated as MEVNT1, MEVNT2, MEVNT3 and MEVNT4. The extracts were studied for quantitative analysis of antioxidant phytoconstituents (total phenolic, flavonoid and ascorbic acid contents) and in vitro antioxidant property in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, reducing power assay, anti-lipid peroxidation assay. Methanol extract of V. negundo leaves and ascorbic acid showed significant scavenging of (p < 0.05) DPPH free radicals, reducing potential, hydroxyl radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation effect. Among these parameters, IC50 value of MEVNT4 was lowest among all extracts in almost all parameters studied besides its high content of antioxidant phytochemicals. The results indicated that Mycorrhiza treatment caused marked elevation on antioxidant status of the plant. It further states that single treatment or treatment of long intermittent duration may have lesser potential to affect the antioxidant profile that the continuous treatment period. This suggested that the treatment have tendency to augment the concentration or effect of antioxidant present in the leaves.

Phytochemical Analysis of Catharanthus Roseus L. (G.) DON. AnuragSingh1049
Catharanthus roseus is a medicinal herb found to have two pharmaceutically important compounds viz., vinblastine and vincristine. The plant is found in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Therefore, theyield of these vinca alkaloids are varied at different geographical regions depending on the climatic conditions.Being a source of these important secondary metabolites, an extensive study has been carried out on this plant. The plant is in high demand worldwide due to its medicinal applications specifically the anti-cancerous.The present research work gives an account of the various phytochemicals derived from the plant at our selected location. The results highlight the biotechnological prospects of an efficient and alternative means of production of valuable metabolites from Catharanthus roseus.The present phytochemical investigations explore active constituents which are very significant in drug development. The study revealed a notable anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activity of methanolic extract of the dry leaves of this plant.
Multidrug resistant microorganisms are globally becoming a major confrontment because of illogical use of antibiotics and this played a good role in investigation about the antibacterial compounds in plants. Thus, the present study investigate for the antibacterial effect of alcoholic extracts of Curcuma longa L. rhizomes , CommiphoramyrrhaL. gums and Ginkgo biloba L. leaves products against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The plants samples extracted by soxhlet with methanol and fractionation with and four solution ( chloroform, hexane, water and ethyl acetate) were used for investigation about antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. The results showed that methanolic alcohol extract and fractions of C. longa L. rhizomes , C. myrrha L. gums showed biological activity against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus bacteria, but methanolic alcohol extract and fractions of G. biloba L. leaves product didn’t show any activity as antibacterial substance. It can be concluded that the presence of secondary metabolites as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides and saponins in the plants under study would be marked a good anti-bacterial effect.
Antioxidant biosensor based on D. radiodurans biofilm has been investigated in this research. The biofilm producing SOD enzymes were immobilized on SPCE surface. Optimization of experimental measurements were carried out by the response surface method. The optimum value obtained was at the buffer pH 7, suspension pH 6, and optical density (OD) 0.5.

A study onwomenentrepreneurshipinharyanatheirdevelopmentandmainconstraintsAnuragSingh1049
Increased female entrepreneurial activity heralds a progress for women’s rights and optimization of their economic and social living index. Women entrepreneurship is synonymous with women empowerment. Parallel to the male counterparts, female entrepreneurs are catalytic in job creation, innovation and more than tangible contribution to the GNP of the country. An economy thrives when women get a level playing field as men. Innovation works as a catalyst or an instrument for Entrepreneurship. Indian Women, despite all the social hurdles stand tall from the rest of the crowd and are applauded for their achievements in their respective field. The transformation of social fabric of the Indian society, in terms of increased educational status of women and varied aspirations for better living, necessitated a change in the life style of Indian women. This paper endeavors to explore studies related to Women Entrepreneurship and Innovation in India. Few examples from Haryana, India have been taken to understand the study in a better way.
This comprehensive review is on the dominance of digital technology in fashion design, aesthetics, and profound jounce on the values of individuals in contemporary society. A commensurate understanding of the relationship between digital technology, aesthetics and fashion design is essential to examine the developments, transformation, and socio-cultural surprises in the years to come. Hence, the aim of this research is to bequeath insight and impart new knowledge to the literature encapsulating the following complex interplay between digital technology, fashion design and aesthetics impacting the psychological influences and emotional contagion in the society : (i) introduction of the world of wearables (WOW) that crosses boundaries between many disciplines using wearable operating system (WOS), (ii) describes the indispensable pillars of design imagination that express the product’s defining points of importance, (iii) demonstrates digital transformation is a mindset than about technology for the fashion design and development process, (iv) reveals aesthetics as 5C (comfort, communication, care, convenience, and context of usability) experience that actualize user bond and loyalty, (v) justifies fusion of digital technology, aesthetics, and fashion design that offers an array of amazing advantages that creates value for the consumer, (vi) characterizes the power of digital technology on fashion industry creating pervasive phenomenon in the contemporary society, (vii) deliberation and critical rumination on the fashion designer- a bridge between the technology and the consumer that prominence the socio-cultural changes globally, (viii) concludes “less is more” is a key guideline for smart fashion wearable (SFW) design and substantiates that designers will not succeed until it is designed from the fashion perspective – not as technology that can be worn, but as fashion design that contains technology.
The problem of environmental pollution is more expressed and more present by the development of the industry and the growth of the human population. Pollution of natural and wastewater is most often due to the release of heavy metals into watercourses. The greatest challenge for researchers is choosing the right biomass from a large number of low-cost biomaterials, and availability and price are very important selection factors. Microbial biomass, forestry waste and agroindustrial complexes are most frequently examined, as well as various macromolecules of natural origin. In this paper, barley straw that arises as agricultural waste product in barley production in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was used as a biosorbent. In the experimental part, physical and chemical characterization of barley straw was performed, after which the efficiency of removing Cd(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solutions, using barley straw, and the influence of process parameters (pH value of aqueous solution, biosorbent size, interaction of metal ions) on the biosorption capacity were tested. It can be concluded that barley straw has good adsoption characteristics for the use as a low-cost natural sorbent for the removal of heavy metals from water.

Beauty of Love in Rabindranath Tagore's PoemsAnuragSingh1049
Rabindranath Tagore was a great poet of love and affection. In most of his creations he has presented the beauty of love in it's different forms. Tagore’s poetry primarily deals with love –love for humanity, love for divinity and love for nature. His early poetry is concerned with man’s love for lady, but his later poetry is mainly concerned with man’s love and longing for God’s beauty and love. The treatment of physical love in his poetry is without exaggeration and is well within the bounds of Indian culture. In his later and mature forms of literature it is his love for God that described vigorously.
A Study on Domestic Politics and International RelationsAnuragSingh1049
A significant andgrowing literature on international relations (IR) argues that domestic politics is typically an important part of the explanation for states’ foreign policies, and seeks to understand its influence more precisely. I argue that what constitutes a “domestic-political” explanation of a state’s foreign policy choices has not been clearly elaborated. What counts as a domestic-political explanation is defined by opposition to systemic or structural explanations. But these may be specified in several different ways—I spell out two—each of which implies a different concept of domesticpolitical explanations. If a systemic IR theory pictures states as unitary, rational actors, then a domestic-political explanation is one in which domesticpolitical interactions in atleast one state yield a suboptimal foreign policy relative to some normative standard. Or, if a systemic IR theory pictures states as unitary, rational actors and also requires that attributes of particular states not enter the explanation, then a domestic-political explanation is any one that involves state characteristics other than relative power. Implications of each approach are developed, and examples from the literature are provided. I also address the question of whether there is a sharp distinction between a “systemic theory of international politics” and a “theory of foreign policy,” arguing that there is an important and natural sense in which they are the same.
A Review on Women’s Role in Economic Development in IndiaAnuragSingh1049
In preparation of the Survey on theRole of Indian Women in Development, collaboration was maintained with members of the United Nations Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality (IANWGE), including, inter alia, the International Labour Organization; the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS; the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; Population Division of the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs; the Statistics Division of the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs; the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees; and the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime. IANWGE members provided substantive inputs, commented on several drafts, and guided the formulation of recommendations. The International Organization on Migration also contributed substantively.Looking at the above opportunities, India has also supported many women entrepreneurs by providing loans and advances, helping them to establish their business, making them self-sufficient by providing vocational skills, and creating many jobs for other women in the respective areas. These opportunities are need-based in India, and many factors are driving these forces.
Spirituality and Attitude towards Death among Senior Citizens with Special Re...AnuragSingh1049
Death is an unpredictable and undeniable event that occurs in everyone’s life regardless of age, time, place etc. One of the common experiences for those are unprepared for this reality is Anxiety. The attitude of senior citizens towards death vary from person to person and they adopt different strategies to cope with their anxieties. Spiritual practice is one of the coping strategies adopted by senior citizens. The present study tries to examine the association between spirituality and attitudes towards death among 100 senior citizens ( 65 years and above) in residential houses and in old age homes. Participants were asked to respond to two different questionnaires namely, Death Attitude Profile-Revised developed by Wong, Recker, Gosser (1994) and Spirituality Experience Index- Revised developed by Genia, V (1991) including a 32-item and 23-item respectively. Data was collected during March-April, 2018 by using SPSS software and data were analysed using the statistical tools namely, simple percentages, means, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, t-Test and ANOVA. The scale had a high level of internal consistency, as determined by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.712. The study concludes that higher the level of spirituality (spiritual openness) lower the level of fear of death. Those with higher level of spirituality avoid thinking and talking about death to be away from anxiety. There is a negative correlation between spirituality and positive dimension of attitude towards death (Escape acceptance) higher the level of spirituality, lower the attitude towards escape acceptance (death as an escape from a painful existence) but there was no correlation between spiritual support and any of the death attitude dimensions.

between smart devices and adolescents life style in Al-Najaf
Al-Ashraf from 5 September to 10 November 2019.
The findings of present study indicate that more
than 64% of the study sample between age group (12- 15)
years old, (72.2%) are males, (76.3%) from them are
graduated from primary school, regarding to overall
assessment of psychological and physical domain with
smart devices are acceptable. Finally, there is a significant
relationship between social lifestyle with smart devices in
items as numbered (4, 8, 13 and 14) with gender of
participants.
The study confirms that there is a significant
negative impact on psychological aspect. so that these
devices affect the psychological state of the teenager
negatively .The study indicate that there was a very
significant impact on the social aspect of adolescents so that
these devices cause social isolation..
Preferably rationalize the acquisition and use of
adolescent smart devices under the direct and continuous
supervision of the guardian. Enhancing the role of the
parents in educating the adolescent about the harm caused
by smart device. Parents should allocate specific time to
treat the teenager with smart devices, and be after Ending
his or her educational and social requirements.Provide
sports activities, social and scientific by the family of the
teenager, through which invest his time and reduce his
recourse to these devices to fill his spare time.
Keywords-- Adolescents, Smart Devices, Life Style.
I. INTRODUCTION
Use of handheld smart devices such as smart
phones and tablet computers is prevalent globally. The
smart phones ownership rate has been increasing rapidly
in recent years. In The Nether lands, the rate is around
70% in the general population and over 90% in
adolescents. 1
In Switzerland, the rate in adolescents increased
from around 50% to nearly 80% from 2010 to 2012.2
More than 60% of families with young children
own a smart phone, and around 40% of them own tablet
computers.3
The adolescents still does not distinguish
between the benefits and disadvantages of modern
technology. Especially in Arab societies that use the
worst side. Most people see technology as a positive
thing for all time, so they imagine that owning modern
devices and knowing the details is a sign of progress in
technology. A smart device is an electronic gadget that is
able to connect, share and interact with its user and other
smart devices.4
Adolescence is a time of increasing
vulnerability for poor mental health, including
depression. Sleep disturbance is an important risk factor
for the development of depression during adolescence.
Excessive use from smart devices is a risk factor for both
adolescents’ sleep disturbance and depression. Certainly,
the parents are the reason why they buy these smart
devices for their children under the pretext of
communication or to improve skills.5
The use of smart devices at the present time is
becoming overly addictive because most students,
whether they are students in higher education or low-
level students, are more addicted to applications on a
smart system.6
The effect of the smart devices on individual
life has been prominent and clear, involving engaged in
the field of work, education where students can easily
study by saving time and effort, health and social life,
this is on the positive side.7
The negative aspect of using the smart device is
that it may clearly affect the behavior and thinking of the
individual in a negative and faster way. It does so
precisely and confidentially that it becomes difficult to
identify and deal with. It can also be said that smart
phones have the ability to influence the decision-making
process. Smartphone addiction is a well-known
condition where trauma causes high-level anxiety pain,
low productivity and affects an individual's emotional
health.
Also, another study mention that "addiction is
common when the matter is related to smart phones,
teenagers feel they are in need to keep in touch with
other all the time. It is common to see teenagers
exhausted of the long hours spent on Smartphone, be it
games or surfing net. It impacts the digestion, breathing
