Understanding the Acceptance Pattern of UPI in New Normal: A Study in Rural Districts of West Bengal

The UPI is an entirely new concept which has changed the entire banking systems. It provides on-the-go services regarding funds transfer with added security, which is adopted throughout the country. Recently, COVID-19 pandemic shook the entire world, which rose due to contamination. Therefore, physical payment systems ceased slowly and digital payment systems such as IMPS, NEFT etc. among these payment systems, UPI (unified payment systems) emerged as an entirely revolutionary payment method. However, despite of the added features, previous studies have shown that the UPI adoption is very slow in the rural parts of India. Literatures show that there has been very few research on the acceptance pattern of UPI in the rural districts of West Bengal. Hence, the present study is an attempt to understand the factors which affect the acceptance/non-acceptance of UPI payment systems. The present study is conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the factors are identified, and in the second stage, these factors were tested for biasness in various demographic factors. Findings suggest that rewards, convenience, and technological factors are biased among occupation, education and location demographics respectively

Silver hull buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a part of nature that offers best health and honour

The gluten-free pseudocereal Fagopyrum esculentum Moench (Silver hull buckwheat) belongs to the Polygonaceae family, which has a long history of both edible and medicinal use. It's a highly nutritious food ingredient that's been shown to have a variety of health benefits. Plasma cholesterol levels are lowered, neuroprotection is given, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic effects are provided, and hypertension conditions are improved thanks to Silver hull buckwheat. It has also been stated to have prebiotic and antioxidant properties. The aim of this review was to include an up-to-date and detailed study of F. esculentum. Furthermore, the potential for future research was addressed. Flavonoids, phenolics, fagopyritols, triterpenoids, hormones, and fatty acids are among the various compounds derived from F. esculentum. The main active ingredients were believed to be flavonoids and phenolic compounds. All of the information presented leads us to believe that Silver hull buckwheat has a strong medicinal potential. However, further research is needed to better understand its bioactive constituents, their structural functions, and molecular mechanisms underlying

Lyman Continuum Leakers in the AstroSat Ultraviolet Deep Field: Extreme-ultraviolet Emitters at the Cosmic Noon

We report the direct detection of Lyman continuum (LyC) emission from nine galaxies and one active galactic nucleus at z ∼ 1.1–1.6 in the GOODS-North field using deep observations from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board AstroSat. The absolute escape fraction of the sources estimated from the far-ultraviolet and H α -line luminosities using Monte Carlo analysis of two intergalactic medium models span a range ∼10%–55%. The rest-frame UV wavelength of the sources falls in the extreme-ultraviolet regime ∼550–700 Å, the shortest LyC wavelength range probed so far. This redshift range remains devoid of direct detections of LyC emission due to the instrumental limitations of previously available facilities. With UVIT having very low detector noise, each of these sources is detected with an individual signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) > 3, while for the stack of six sources, we achieve an S/N ∼ 7.4. The LyC emission is seen to be offset from the optical centroids and extended beyond the UVIT point-spread function of 1.″6 in most of the sources. This sample fills an important niche between GALEX and Cosmic Origins Spectrograph at low z and Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 at high z and is crucial in understanding the evolution of LyC leakers

Synthesis and crystal structure of a triple-decker Cu^II₃Tl^I₂ complex: first example of a thallium(I) system in the imino-phenolate Schiff base ligand family

<div><p>This report deals with the synthesis, characterization, and crystal structure of a heteropentanuclear Cu^II₃Tl^I₂ compound [(Cu^IIL)₃Tl^I₂](NO₃)₂ (<b>1</b>), where H₂L=<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′-ethylenebis(3-ethoxysalicylaldimine). This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system within space group <i>C2</i>/<i>c</i>. Each of the two symmetry related thallium(I) centers is located between a terminal and a common, central [Cu^IIL] by forming bonds with four phenoxo and three ethoxy oxygens. The three [Cu^IIL] moieties are parallel and hence <b>1</b> is a triple-decker system. Neighboring triple-decker moieties are interlinked by π⋯π stacking interaction and weak hydrogen bonds to generate 3-D self-assembly in <b>1</b>. Salient features in the composition and structure of the title compound are discussed; the title compound is the first example of a thallium(I) system in imino-phenolate Schiff base family.</p></div
