Abstract

Mushrooms are edible fungi. Milky mushroom (Calocybe indica) fits well under summer months conditions because of its ability to grow at temperature above 30°C. The green mould due to Trichoderma harzianum is of common occurrence in milky mushroom cultivation and causing losses from 63-65%. The disease characterized by initially white to grayish mycelium appear on substrate and on casing surface that resembles with the mushroom mycelial and later on mycelium mat turns to dark green color due to heavy spoliation of causal agent which is a peculiar symptom of the disease. The green mould incidence recorded varies from 0 to 26 % and maximum being in the Sonipat district (26.0 %), and no disease was recorded in Fatehabad district. The average disease incidence in Haryana recorded during 2014 was 14.8 per cent and approx similar pattern of disease prevalence (13.8 per cent) was observed during 2015.

Abstract

The milky mushroom is gaining popularity among the traditional button mushroom growers in the India as alternate crop during summer months, but green mould disease caused by T. harzianum is becoming a limiting factor for its popularization among the mushroom growers. Physiology of both pathogen (T. harzianum) and milky mushroom (C. indica) was standardized and found that though C. indica can grow at wide range of temperatures and pH but optimum growth was observed at 30±1°C and pH 6.0. Similarly the optimum growth of T. harzianum was observed and found that it was at temperature 25±1°C and pH 6.5. The effect of temperature and pH on interaction of C. indica with T. harzianum also was observed and found that minimum inhibition of C.indica by T. harzianum was observed at temperature 30±1°C and pH 6.0.

Abstract

Self-regulation is the capacity of the individual to disregard prominent responses and to regulate affects, cognitions, and behaviors. It is the ability to alter thoughts, feelings, desires and actions in the perspective of such higher goals and would represent one of the most adaptive variables of the human behaviour (Vohs & baumister, 2004). Selfregulation capacity was found to play a key role in the development of psychological well-being (e.g., Gagnon, Durand-Bush, & Young, 2016, Brilki, 2017) because high self-regulatory capacity should strengthen the intention- behaviour relationship because it enables an individual to inhibit undesired responses (de Ridder, Lensvelt- Mulders, Finkenauer, Stok, & Baumeister, 2012). Therefore, the present study attempts to examine whether the selfregulation ability might associate or linked with psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self- regulation capacity and psychological well-being in 100 young adults. Short form of the original Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ; Carey, Neal, & Collins, 2004) and Psychological Well-Being scale (Ryff & Keyes, 1995) were used to fulfill the purpose of the study. Pearson correlation analyses showed that self-regulation capacity positively associated with psychological well-being and its dimension; personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance and negatively associated with autonomy and environmental mastery. As a positive construct implication of self-regulation to maintain optimal mental health was discussed.

Abstract

In the last few years sports and health psychologist shows that adolescents and youth's levels of hostility, frustration and aggression is increasing day by day. Sports are the most important activities which enhance student's attention and energy in a healthy and fruitful direction. Challenges abound in competitive sports, thus youngsters introduced to them must have the necessary psychological traits, such as aggression and emotional intelligence, to effectively deal with these difficulties. The present study was planned to distinguish college students on emotional intelligence and aggression in relation to their sports activities (athletes & non-athletes). A purposive sample of 100 college students (50 athletes and 50 non-athletes were selected from different colleges in Haryana on the bases of availability. Emotional Intelligence Scale by Sharma and Sharma (2017) and Aggression Scale developed by Pal and Naqvi (1986) were used in the present study. To examine the group differences, t-test was computed and results showed that athlete college students were high on aggression than non-athletes college students. Athlete college students were only high on self-awareness, self-regulation and motivation (dimensions of emotional intelligence). Results of the study exhibited no significant difference between these two groups on overall emotional intelligence and its dimensions, i.e., empathy and social skills. Further, researchers also discussed study's implication and future recommendations.

Abstract

In last few years, one of the most dangerous challenges we have encountered is COVID-19, a worldwide health emergency. This pandemic is a serious worldwide health emergency that continues to endanger the welfare (health & safety) of the general people. The ability to regulate and manage unhealthy behaviour can be helpful in sustaining one's health in this life-threatening era. People should grasp that their own actions and cognitions are partially accountable for their health. The importance of behavioural self-regulation, or the capacity to change or modify one's thoughts, feelings, wants, and actions in the context of such higher aims, should therefore be stressed by people; can play a protective role to improve health and well-being and prevent or lessen the symptoms of the disease. It might be a medication that reduces the negative effects of COVID-19's perceived harshness and psychological health issues, particularly during this pandemic period. The present analytical review-based study was planned to highlight the significance of self-regulation ability in health and well-being and to understand how self-regulation strategies works during the pandemic time, especially during COVID-19. This analytical review of the association of behavioural self-regulation, health and well-being in challenging and stressful situations such as COVID-19 pandemic suggested to effective implementation of self-regulation strategies.

Abstract

Emotions play significant parts in a person's life, and to live successfully, one needs to have higher emotional intelligence. At schools, colleges, and universities, research has shown a connection between emotional intelligence (EI) and role efficacy (Penrose, Perry, & Ball, 2007). This study looked into the relationship between role efficacy and emotional intelligence among Haryana police officers. As police officers go about their daily lives, we need to better understand their emotional experiences. The purpose of the current study was to examine the connection between role efficacy and emotional intelligence. The sample comprises of 115 police officers (constables & head constables) from different Haryana districts. With the use of stepwise regression and product movement correlation, it was also possible to analyse the relationship between emotional intelligence and the effectiveness of these police officers' roles. The emotional intelligence of the chosen sample was evaluated using the "Emotional intelligence scale" (Bhattacharya, Dutta, & Mandal, 2004) and the present sample's role efficacy was assessed using the "Role efficacy scale" (UdaiPareek, 2002). The findings demonstrated a significant positive association between role efficacy and emotional intelligence. Two subscales of the assisting connections and creativity scales, two of the six Role Efficacy components, were found to be effective predictors of Emotional intelligence by stepwise regression analysis.

Hypotheses have been tested through ANOVA and post hoc analysis procedures to study the effect of age and gender on the subjective vitality of adults. The findings of the study revealed that age and gender have a significant effect on subjective vitality among adult participants. Older adults were low in subjective vitality as compared to middle and young adults; female participants report low feelings of aliveness and energy as compared to male participants. Analysis of variance also showed a significant interaction effect of age x gender on subjective vitality (feeling of vigor & aliveness). The strategies to drive vitality among adults were also suggested in present study .
