Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Page: 160-163 IPARTheory (previously known as PARTheory) has moved further than looking at parental acceptance and its' effect on the psychological adjustment of Human beings. The step ahead is to provide evidence how interpersonal acceptance and rejection by significant others in our life affect our development and relationships everywhere in the world regardless of differences in gender, SES, age, race, ethnicity, culture, or any other defining conditions. The research provides a compelling evidence for positive outcomes of acceptance as opposed to rejection (Rohner & Veneziano, 2001; Khaleque & Rohner, 2002; Khaleque & Rohner, 2011; Erkman, Carrasco, & Rohner, 2013; Parmar, 2011; & Rohner, 2014). This research investigates for the first time to look at the relationship of Grand Parent's acceptance in addition to parents and its impact on psychological adjustment in Emerging adulthood. The results are discussed in relation to the gender, age, and culture of the respondents. Page: 160-163 Parminder Parmar (HDFS, Pennsylvania State University, Dunmore PA) |
Page: 164-169 The current research aims in exploring the impact of Non-verbal Assault at the workplace environment. in general, non-verbal communication comprises dynamic utilization. However, non-language messages like touch, gaze, facial expressions and vocal cues are specifically significant while identities, emotions and status plays a significant role. Non-verbal assaults have a significant concern and affect physical and psychological well-being at the workplace. The study transparently signifies the non-verbal assault prevalence amongst the respondent. The study was carried out with 150 participants with a subject-to-survey-based questionnaire. Non-verbal assault has been identified and been implemented for assessing the data. T-test enables the scholar to evaluate the significance pertaining to non-verbal assault and its effect resulting to victims on the basis of gender. The research tends to express concern on assaults at the workplace which exist regularly.

Page: 177-179 Aging is commonly related to poverty as a result of limited access to financial resources because of retirement or declining health. The high incidence of poverty among the elderly could be a global concern. How much the elderly have is important, but how they use what they have is equally important. This paper focuses on assessing the low level of financial literacy among the elderly in Fatehabad district. The data was collected among 150 elderly people aged 55 to 85 years. Financial literacy was assessed by using a questionnaire with 21 statements. In general, the elderly in the study demonstrated basic financial knowledge associated with financial investments. Results reveal that majority of elderly (60.67%) were belonged to 55-65 years, were male (63.33%), had graduated (47.33%), were retired (50.67%), had a monthly income of the respondents ₹20,000-50,000 and family monthly income ₹50,000-1,25,000. Living arrangements mostly (36.67%) were with a spouse and family. The male respondents (64.21%) had a medium level of financial literacy as compared to female respondents (25.45%). Further, found that highly significant association with age, education, occupation, respondent monthly income, and family monthly income with financial literacy (p<0.01).

Page: 183-187 Team performance plays a prominent role in the current scenario for both educational and corporate institutions. One of the threats to team efficiency is social loafing. This study looks into the antecedents and consequences of social loafing within a group task context. The study aimed to understand how such antecedents can impact group work efficiency. It can help the instructors to identify the social loafing problem and can motivate the group to learn effectively. Two hundred ninety-five PG and UG students were surveyed from a well-known Engineering college in South India. A 22-item instrument to measure the various components of social loafing (loafer's apathy, disconnect, disruptive behaviour and poor quality work) and its consequences (poor team performance, extra work done by other team members) was used for the study. The data collected was then analyzed and hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling analysis. It was found that loafer's apathy and loafer's disconnect with other team members contributed significantly to the team's poor performance. The extra effort put in by the other team members had a strong mediating effect on the relationship between loafer's poor quality work and the team's performance.

Page: 188-190 For the developing world, it has been particularly difficult to provide poor and undernourished populations with wholesome, nutritional food. One of the most critical issues that tropical developing countries are currently dealing with is protein energy malnutrition. To combat the current food shortage and resulting lack of nutrition security, it is urgently necessary to investigate the underutilized grains. One of these underutilized legume is sesbania bispinosa. Aim of present study was to determine the physical characteristics of sesbania grains and formulated the traditional food product (parantha) and to evaluate for organoleptic acceptability. Results revealed that Sesbania grain's seed density was measured to be 1.06 g/ml. The hydration capacity and index were 0.01 g/seed and 0.68, respectively, but the swelling capacity and index were 0.10 ml/seed and 0.02, respectively. The cooking time for sesbania grains was 46 minutes. Further parantha, formulated with addition of 10 to 50 per cent sesbania flour was organoleptically analyzed. Mean score revealed that up to 20 per cent of sesbania bispinosa grain flour can be added to wheat flour without negatively altering parantha's sensory acceptance. Such value-added products may improve nutritional status. Page: 188-190 Seema, A. Kawatra, and P. Godara (Department of Foods and Nutrition, I.C College… |
Page: 191-195 The present study was undertaken to explore the farmers preference towards In-situ and Ex-Situ techniques in Paddy Straw Management in Punjab. Primary data was collected from 150 farmers. The majority of the farmers were found to be growing paddy followed by cotton. Social media was the main source of information for in-situ and ex-situ techniques for paddy straw management followed by information from friends. Most of the farmers agreed that in-situ and ex-situ techniques increased soil fertility and it is essential for saving the environment.

Page: 202-207 The objective of the research was to identify the psycho-social factors that predict adolescent delinquency. Juvenile delinquency has developed into a complex problem in India and the rest of the world in the current industrialised and urbanised culture. An individual under the age of 18 would be regarded as a juvenile delinquent if they committed a crime, according to legal view. High levels of aggression and peer pressure are linked to adolescent delinquency. On the basis of the review of literature, significant variables were identified and research objectives were formulated. To achieve the desired objective of the study, a sample of 150 Juvenile Delinquents with age range from 14 to 18 years was included in the study. All participants were administered Peer Pressure Scale (Singh & Saini, 2010) and Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Warren, 2000) by applying the rules of the respective manual. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Stepwise Regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that there is a positive and significant correlation between peer pressure and physical aggression, verbal aggression and anger (dimensions of aggression) and delinquency. Stepwise Regression analysis identified four major predictors of juvenile delinquency. These are peer pressure, verbal aggression, physical aggression, and anger.

Page: 208-212 The present research paper seeks to understand the importance of mobile wallets and the correlation between the variables, that is, perceived trust and their usage in the sample of the present study. Rigorous literature of review finds a gap in this area of research and especially after the pandemic, the use of mobile wallets have become a crucial part of the urban as well as rural economy. The hypothesis is that the perceived usefulness of mobile wallets has a beneficial impact on street vendors vis a vis the perceived risk of using mobile wallets which may have a negative impact on street vendors. Findings support previous research by demonstrating a positive relationship between customers' intentions and the dependent variables (Ease of Use, Risk, Trust, & Experience). Street vending is an essential part of the urban economy, providing critical goods and services to both the middle class and the urban poor. Future research and implications are also highlighted in the paper. Page: 208-212 Khushie Sharma (School of Business and Management, Christ University, New Delhi) |
Page: 213-216 The behavior of the investor's is influenced by many factors in making investment decisions. The present paper intends to study various demographic variables like (age, gender, education, income level & marital status) which influences the decision making power of the investors through a review of available literature. Behavior finance is based on emotions and cognitive psychology rather than being rational and calculative. Behavior finance is a field of study that helps us to understand how various demographic variables can impact investment decision making. Investment is a very important part of wealth creation and behavior plays a very important role in creating wealth and making investment decisions. Investment is the skill of allocating resources with the expectation of generating an income or profit in the future. Investment decision making means how funds are to be invested in different assets so that it will give maximum possible return to the investors in the coming future. Demographic variables play a very important role in making investment decisions. They also influence the risk tolerance and investment preferences of the investors. So, it is very important to understand the impact of demographics on the decision making power of investors. The present paper reviewed various studies to create an understanding of the impact of demographic variables on investment decision making. The paper concluded that some demographic variables have an impact on investment decision making while others have no impact on investment decision making.
