Is Corporate Social Responsibility Ethical? - Recognizing Ethical Issues In Business

Corporate Social Responsibility is all about companies playing their responsible part in society and giving back to society and a big part of that is fund raising for valuable cause. Companies engage in Corporate Social Responsibility when they grant benefits to the communities where they work which are neither required by law nor an integral part of their primary objective is profit oriented company. Today, however businesses must also reflect on the legal, ethical, moral and social consequences of their decisions. The purpose of working on this paper is to identify the ethical issues faced by the organization and how the unethical behavior in organization is excessively aggressive to achieve business objectives. Evidences suggest that social corporate responsibility and the maintenance of high ethical standards is not an option but an obligation for all businesses. This paper also draws the inferences that often have the ethical implications of an action are overlooked for personal gain and the benefits are usually material. This frequently manifests itself in companies that attempt to cheat environmental regulations

Assessment of growth and yield parameters in recombinant inbred line populations of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) through correlation and path analysis

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is high value crop, also called as protective food due to its high nutritional and biochemical compounds. Correlation and path analysis was carried out for 147 tomato recombinant inbred line population. Correlation studies suggested that the association of fruit yield per plant was positive and significant with plant height (0.595), branches per plant (0.657), fruits per cluster (0.500), clusters per plant (0.717), average fruit weight (0.244) and fruits per plant (0.891). Path analysis revealed that among eleven characters studied only two characters viz., average fruit weight (0.415) and fruits per plant (0.817) showed very high positive and direct effect on yield per plant. This study helps to understand the mutual relationship among various traits thereby assist in selecting the character contributing to the yield

Influence of biostimulants on growth and productivity of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) genotypes

A field experiment was carried out at AHRS, Bavikere, Karnataka during late kharif season of 2021to find out the “Influence of biostimulants on growth and productivity of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) genotypes’’. The field trial was laid out in split plot design with 12 treatment combinations. The study involves three genotypes in the main plot viz., SiA-3156 (G1), HMT-100-1 (G2) and DHFt-109-3 (G3). Foliar application of biostimulants in sub plots viz., 0.1 % humic acid (F1), 3 % panchagavya (F2), 0.1 % humic acid and 3 %panchagavya (F3) at 30 and 60 days after sowing (DAS) and recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) as control (F4). Genotypes and Foliar application of biostimulants exhibited significant variation in growth and yield components of foxtail millet. Among the different genotypes, HMT-100-1 recorded significantly higher plant height (142.00 cm), number of tillers per meter (81.87) and leaf area (18.40 dm2/plant) at harvest and also yield components like panicle length (16.60 cm), grain weight per panicle (4.02 g) and grain yield (1701.0 kg/ha) compared to DHFt-109-3 and SiA -3156. In biostimulants, Foliar application of 0.1 % humic acid and 3 % panchagavya recorded significantly higher plant height (142.32 cm), number of tillers per metre (83.75) and leaf area (18.51 dm2/plant) at harvest and also yield components like panicle length (16.99 cm), grain weight per panicle (4.33 g) and grain yield (1781.2 kg/ha). While, they were found to be at their lowest with application of RDF alone. Interaction between genotypes and biostimulants was also found to be significant in which combination of HMT-100-1 with foliar application of 0.1 % humic acid and 3 %panchagavya recorded significantly higher growth and yield compared to other treatment combinations

Drowsiness Detection and Vehicular Safety System for Monitoring the Loss of Attention in Locomotive Drivers

In a creating country like India, with progression in the transportation innovation and ascend in the complete number of vehicles, street mishaps increments are often. The fundamental driver behind these street mishaps are the absence of preparing establishments, untalented drivers, poor street conditions, utilization of PDAs amid driving, expending liquor while driving, over-burdening and poor administrative plans in such manner. The proposed work is to alarm the driver when he is lazy or diverted far from typical ready mode to non-ready mode by methods for ringer or vibration instrument. In this task, constant information is gathered by camcorder and other miniaturized scale electro mechanical framework gadgets (MEMS). This information gives data about driving state of the driver which goes about as contribution to controller. The suitable measures are taken by the controller to alarm the driver.

Aeroplane wing, a new recessive autosomal phenotypic marker in the malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi Liston.

A novel and distinct mutant with a phenotype, aeroplane wing (ae) is reported for the first time in the urban malaria vector Anopheles stephensi. The main aim of this study was to establish the mode of inheritance of the ae gene performing genetic crossings between the mutants and wild types. These mutants show extended open wings that are visible to naked eyes in both the sexes. Mutants were first noticed in a nutritionally stressed isofemale colony. Strategic genetic crosses revealed that the ae gene is a recessive, autosomal, and monogenic trait having full penetrance with uniform expression in its adult stage. Egg morphometric analysis confirmed that these mutants were intermediate variant. No significant differences were observed in the wing venation and size of ae mutants compared to their control parental lines. Further cytogenetic analysis on the ovarian polytene chromosome of ae mutant showed an inversion (3Li) on the 3L arm like its parental line. This ae mutant would be a prominent marker and could be useful to study the functions of related specific genes within its genome
