Parental functioning is influenced by a variety of forces, yet the personal resources of parents have the greatest potential for buffering the parenting system. Factors related to the parents are most central to parenting competence, often mediating associations between broader social variables and variation in parenting styles. In the present study, focus was mainly on three parental variables i.e., temperamental qualities, malaise and emotional intelligence. The study was undertaken in purposively selected Hisar city, of Haryana State. A total of 120 two-children families were selected randomly equally representing the two SES groups i.e., upper-middle (60) and lower-middle (60). Regarding temperamental qualities out of the total sample of fathers, nearly 17% were identified as having extraversion temperament and another 10 per cent had neuroticism temperament profile. In case of mothers nearly 20 and 17 per cent were categorized into extraversion and neuroticism temperament profile. Further, majority of mothers and fathers possessed normal level of emotional intelligence and upper -middle SES mothers and fathers were slightly better in emotional intelligence than their counterparts. Regarding comparative status on malaise of parents, non-significant differences between mothers and fathers were depicted in overall sample and within two SES groups. However, on the basis of mean scores it can be interpreted that fathers scored slightly higher on malaise than mothers showing that fathers were more at risk of illness (psychological or physiological).

The study focused to determine the relationship of online shopping variables with factors influencing overall satisfaction among students. In the present scenario, college students are mostly doing online shopping. In this paper factor analysis and ANOVA has been used to achieve the objective of the study. In the study, primary data has been collected with the help of semi-structured questionnaire from 200 college students from Hisar district of Haryana. Factor analysis discloses six factors namely threat to a system, customer care, information sharing, online shopping advertising and lastly online schemes. ANOVA analysis discloses that preferred payment method, amount of money spent for online shopping on items and reasons for online payment has significant relationship with threat to system and information sharing. On the other hand, amount of money spent for online shopping on items has significant relationship with customer care, whereas reason for online payment has significant relationship with awareness.

A scale measuring the degree of affect of the students towards the agricultural education system was developed. Sixty five possible, scrutinized statements were examined to assess their degree of favorability using a five point continuum with respect to their capacity to measure the attitude of the respondents towards agricultural education system. The S- value and Q- value of each statement were found. Equal appearing interval method was used for developing the scale. The statements were selected and the validity and reliability of the scale was tested. The scale developed consists of both positive (6) and negative (4) statements. Thus, the final scale was developed which could measure the students' level of attitude towards agricultural education system. This study was implemented among 114 number of final year B. Sc. (Agriculture) students of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, to assess their level of attitude towards the present agricultural education system. The results showed that most of the students were found distributed between medium to high level of attitude.

All the data has been extracted from the official website RBI which is called banker's bank. Mainly two major parameters have been considered in the study for evaluation of the intensity of the financial inclusion. These parameters or variables are namely; Access of financial services and the level of Usage of financial services. Here, the access has been evaluated in terms of, number of bank offices and the employees of the banks, while the usage has been evaluated in terms of, number of credit accounts or loan accounts and deposit accounts in the banks.

In this study fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds of variety HM-57 were dried in solar regenerated desiccant seed dryer. In this dryer, seeds can be dried in deep bed at a safe temperature for good shelf-life, germination and vigour index. The dryer has following significance over common methods of drying, generally vegetable seeds are dried in shade, which has very low drying rate and can be harmful to the seeds. Under natural drying conditions, micro organisms may develop, as moisture takes longer to be removed. Also in natural drying seeds holds moisture for longer period than advisable, due to this there is acceleration in respiration rate which causes a CO2 release and water vapour and causes a significant decrease in physiological quality of seeds. The dryer has two chambers i.e. air conditioning chamber and seed drying chamber. It operates in seed drying and desiccant regeneration mode. Moisture removal from drying air has been done using silica gel desiccant. Fenugreek were dried with hot and dehumidified air at five different drying air temperatures i.e. 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46o C and at five different air flow rates i.e., 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 m3/min.. Germination percentage of fenugreek seeds varied from 78 - 67% as temperature varied between 38-46o C, and vigour index varied from 1349.4 - 911.2. After this study, dryer was found to be better alternative for drying high priced vegetable seeds.

Trend or growth in the share of different sectors to the total gross value added of Indian economy, has been shown using graphs while the comparative study of Gross value addition by different sectors of Indian economy has been done using descriptive statistics and the One-way ANOVA test. Further, researcher has done post-hoc analysis using Turkey's test to highlight the particular groups of variables where the mean values were found to be significantly different if any. Welch test has been used to measure the equality of means. It was found that overall there is a growth in the gross value addition of the Indian economy during the year 2011-12 to 2017-18. All the sectors are showing growth in their share in the gross value addition of Indian economy, except for construction, Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing and Electricity, Gas, Water Supply and Other Utility sector. While, in Mining and Quarrying sector have shown consistency in the gross value addition during the period 2011-12 to 2017-18. The highest percentage of gross value addition was found to be of Services sector and lowest percentage of Gross value addition was found of Electricity, Gas, and Water Supply and Other Utility sector. This shows that service sectors are contributing highly towards the gross value addition of the Indian economy while Electricity, Gas, Water Supply and Other Utility sector is contributing lowest to the gross value addition of Indian economy. Further, the study showed the significant difference in the gross value addition of different sectors of Indian economy.
