Subject: Reproductive interventions for revitalising the sustainable production of Malabar labeo, Labeo Dussumieri, an indigenous candidate for aquaculture diversification
Keywords: Indigenous fish, induced breeding, minor carp, spawning, Western Ghats.
Abstract: Malabar labeo, Labeo dussumieri is one of the cyprinids, endemic to the Western Ghats, India. The lack of
availability of proper captive production techniques
and over-exploitation has led to a decline in the population of this fish in its natural habitats. In the present
study Malabar labeo were acclimatised to captive conditions and selected brooders were introduced into
breeding pools. They were administrated with synthetic
hormones for dose optimisation as well as breeding
trial experiments. To determine the effective dose for
induced breeding, the females were injected with WOVAFH at 0.5 (T1), 0.75 (T2) and 1.0 (T3) ml/kg body
weight. The spawning fecundity was 2.2 ± 0.2 lakhs
eggs/kg during the peak spawning season. Among the
three treatments, T2 (0.75 ml/kg body wt.) showed the
best results in terms of egg fecundity (89,560 ± 592),
fertilisation rate (94.76 ± 0.57%), hatching rate (90.31 ±
0.68%) and spawn survival rate (85.25 ± 0.54%). The
fertilised eggs were round, non-sticky with a diameter
of 2.48 ± 0.1 mm, and hatching took place between 16
and 20 h after fertilisation. The newly hatched larvae
had an average total length of 4.1 ± 0.2 mm and a
weight of 2.7 ± 0.4 mg. The study revealed the potential
of producing L. dussumieri under captivity and meeting its demand for farming and conservation

Subject: How do marketing channel choices affect the welfare of paddy growers in Punjab and Haryana
Keywords: Agricultural marketing, farmer welfare, marketing channels, multinomial logit, paddy growers.
Abstract: The marketing channel choices of paddy growers and
their subsequent effect on welfare (indicated by quantity, return and prices) are empirically estimated in the
study, conducted in the states of Punjab and Haryana.
Using data from the third Situation Assessment Survey,
the study focuses on households engaged in paddy cultivation. Results reveal that the local market is still the
most prominent marketing channel in rural Punjab
and Haryana. Around 46% of produce is disposed of
through it, and more than 50% of growers opt for the
same. There are significant variations in awareness of
the minimum support price and the price realized after
selling paddy across different categories of land ownership. Government assistance is a major factor in shaping
the marketing channel choices. The findings in the study
indicate a strong link between marketing channel choices
and the welfare of paddy growers. It provides valuable
insights into the dynamics of agricultural marketing in
India and underscores the need for tailored policy interventions to improve the welfare farmers.

Keywords: Diabetes, hypertension, multivariate logistic regression, odds ratio, risk factor.
Abstract: Hypertension and diabetes are the two most prevalent
non-communicable diseases in India, and their exposure is increasing fast with time. In the present study,
an attempt is made to assess its prevalence (P), diagnosis
(D), treatment (T) and control (C) in three mutually
exclusive groups of individuals aged 30–79 who are only
hypertensive (OH), individual with only diabetes (OD)
and hypertensive as well as individual with diabetes
(HD) and its correlates based on fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) with the help of
chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. The
prevalence, diagnosis, treatment and control (PDTC)
rates of the disease among OH were 21.7%, 26.9%,
23% and 10.7% respectively, and it was 11.4%, 17.1%,
16.4% and 5.1% among OD, followed by 9.9%, 24.6%,
22.4% and 3.1% among HD. They also exhibited significant associations (P-value < 0.05) and risks, such that
rural (odds ratio (OR): 0.628), and female OR: 0.876)
had a lower risk of coexistence compared to urban and
male respectively. Individuals who were divorced (OR:
1.137), age group 70-79 (OR: 7.468), smokers (OR:
1.71) and consuming alcohol (OR: 1.100), as well as
those overweighed, had a higher chance of HD. In conclusion, addressing these risk factors with association
and the geographical distribution of PDTC of HD in
India could potentially enhance public health in the
region.

Subject: Growth dynamics analysis of cauliflower in Himachal Pradesh
Keywords: ARIMA, cauliflower, decomposition analysis, forecasting, seasonal indices
Abstract: India, one of the top producers of cauliflower (Brassica
oleracea var. botrytis) has made a significant contribution to the agricultural, nutritional and commercial
value. The present study examines the growth dynamics of cauliflower production, pricing, productivity
and area in the state of Himachal Pradesh. It focuses
on the Solan district for data on pricing, productivity
and output from 2003 to 2020, and on area, production
and productivity from 1995 to 2020. The study projects
future scenarios and analyses previous trends using
statistical tools, such as seasonal indices, decomposition analysis, Cuddy–Della Valle Index (CDVI), compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and autoregressive
integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling. Results indicate that the growth rate in production
(8.77%) surpassed the growth in area (6.48%), whereas productivity growth stood at 7%. Despite fluctuations, cauliflower cultivation remains relatively stable,
with area expansion being the primary driver of production growth. The optimal ARIMA models for forecasting area, production and productivity were
identified as ARIMA (0, 2, 1), ARIMA (2, 2, 2) and
ARIMA (2, 2, 1) respectively, suggesting an increasing
trend in area and productivity, whereas production is
projected to decline. Price growth rates ranged from
4.45% to 7.51%, exhibiting low variation, and seasonal
indices revealed higher off-season variability compared
to peak season. The selected ARIMA model for price
forecasting is ARIMA (0, 0, 1) (0, 1, 2) with drift. These
insights provide valuable information for policymakers
and stakeholders in the cauliflower market.

Subject: Methodology for assessment of biogas technology usage in the hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh using CART model on survey data
Keywords: Biofuel, biogas technology, classification and regression tree, hilly regions, machine learning, renewable energy
Abstract: Renewable energy, particularly biogas, stands as a
pivotal solution amidst global energy challenges, offering sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Himachal
Pradesh, a mountainous region in North India, exemplifies this shift with a growing network of biogas
plants to alleviate energy poverty and environmental
degradation. However, the operational success of these
biogas plants remains precarious, marked by a significant non-functionality rate. The present study examines
180 biogas plants across Hamirpur and Kangra districts,
revealing that 74.81% of these plants are non-operational. Key reasons include inadequate cattle populations,
lack of interest and constructional issues. Classification
and regression tree (CART) model was used to identify
the reasons and found that inadequate cattle population, coupled with socio-economic factors like declining
interest and migration were primary barriers to sustained biogas plant functionality. These findings highlight
the urgent need for targeted interventions, including
technological upgrades and policy reforms, to enhance
biogas plant sustainability and foster rural energy resilience in hilly terrains. By addressing these challenges,
Himachal Pradesh can harness its rich agricultural resources more effectively, thereby advancing towards a
greener and more sustainable energy future and informing policymakers on enhancing biogas technology’s effectiveness in addressing energy poverty and
promoting sustainable practices in rural communities

Subject: Path tracing of the Chandrayaan-3 Rover from OHRC images
Keywords: Chandrayaan-3, moon, OHRC, regolith change detection, rotations, rover
Abstract: The Chandrayaan-3 Pragyaan Rover traversed a path of approximately 101 m on the lunar surface
after the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander on 23 August 2023. Experiments were carried
out by the two science instruments, namely APXS and LIBS mounted on the rover. A rover traversal
path was plotted over the image captured by the Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) onboard
the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, taken after the post-landing of the Vikram lander. This plot was based
on the mobility commands uploaded to the rover through lander. Subsequent opportunities of imaging the landing site by OHRC could not infer the rover mobility path due to poor illumination conditions over the site. However, recently acquired OHRC image had better illumination conditions and
the images were analysed for fetching the rover mobility tracks. Since the rover tracks could not be
seen directly in the images, they were further processed to find the rover in-place turn locations, as
these must have done the maximum disturbance to the regolith. However, these changes could not be
clearly detected using some of the conventional methods. Hence, an indigenous technique was
adopted to detect these changes. The present article discusses the findings on the possible landmarks left back by the rover mobility and its coordinates on the lunar terrain.

Abstract: Sustainability is one of the major challenges facing humanity in the current era. Consequent to the uncontrolled/
unfocused developments and the rapidly changing climate
(in climatic time scales), which is rapidly approaching the
tipping point, humanity is facing increasing challenges in
sustainability. Because of this importance, several articles
addressing this issue have been repeatedly appearing in
this editorial.
Increasing urbanisation is a global phenomenon. Currently, a large fraction of the global population lives in
urban regions. It is expected that the urban population will
be two-thirds of the global population in the next two decades or so. Urbanisation has several advantages. It facilitates easy access to better infrastructure, habitat, better
facilities (access to essential daily needs for living, including food, water, mobility, communication and health
care), access to better education, better health interventions, and better job opportunities

Abstract: The DECADE Elite electrochemical detector from Antee Scientific works with any HPLC and UHPLC system and is by far the most sensitive electrochemical detector by today's standards. With a 'high frequency' data rate, it can handle the fast-eluting peaks in UHPLC. It is further compatible with capillary and nano-LC a well, when coupled with Antec's proprietary small volume SenCell. In the DECADE Elite, the column and the flow cell are both held at a very accurate and stable temperature up to 60 Deg C. Specially developed low-pass Advanced Digital Filter (ADF) suppresses noise originating from HPLC and electrochemical flow cell, passing only signals with a frequency lower than a selected cut-off frequency (chrmomatographic peaks) and attenuating higher frequencies (i.e., noise reduction).By selecting the appropriate filter settings signal to noise (S/N) ratio can be improved substantially, up to 100 fold.

Abstract: Asymmetric Flow Field-Flow Fractionation (AF4) is an innovative new method for the efficient separation and characterization of proteins, polymers and nanoparticles in a fast and gentle way that prevents shearing, degradation and interactions that are typical of column-based separations. Detection of very high molar mass aggregates and large species which otherwise will not elute from SEC columns, is no more a challenge, thanks to the unique separation capabilities of the Postnova's revolutionary FFF systems.AF4 can be readily interfaced with other characterization techniques such as Multi Angle Light Scattering (MALS) for characterization of absolute molar mass and root-mean-square radious (radious of gyration) of analytes. Nanoparticles can be separated from 1 nano meter to 100 mume meter &proteins, peptides, polymers from 10E3 to 10E 12 Da. The fast and gentle separation occurs based on the diffusion coefficient of the analytes in an open flow channel without using ANY stationary phase.
