 Abstract

The present study was carried out on 300 adolescents from Panipat district of Haryana state, India. Academic motivation Scale by Areepattamannil (2006) was used to determine the academic motivation of the adolescents. Chisquare was computed to examine relationship between socio-economic variables and academic motivation. The association of academic motivation with birth order was significant (?2= 4.95*). The association of academic motivation with family type was significant (?2= 6.25*). This indicated that the member of respondents in high category of academic motivation was significantly higher in nuclear family (207) than in joint families (32). The association of academic motivation with father occupation, (?2= 8.4*), mother occupation (?2= 11.3*) and number of sibling (?2= 12.2*) was significant. Results revealed that overall academic motivation majority of respondents (54.0%) belonged to average category followed by high (42.0%) and low (4.0%). In low category of academic motivation there was equal percentage (4.0%) of boys and girls, in average category boys were high (56.0%) than girls (52.0%) , while in high category percentage of girls (44.0%) was higher than boys (40.0%).

 Abstract

The current study has been conducted to determine the growth parameters and carbohydrate metabolisms under different salinity concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM). The two maize varieties BC-3033 and BC-3591 of young and matured leaves were taken as control and salinity treated plants on 15 and 30 Days after Treatment (DAT). Growth parameters such as plant height, lea area, fresh and dry weight of the whole plants were decreased in both varieties under salinity stressed condition. The biochemical parameters total soluble sugar, reducing sugar, changes in biochemical parameter of total soluble sugar, reducing sugar in leaf was increased with higher concentration of salt stress. Quantitative differences with response to salinity were also noticed in the content of starch in the maize varieties. The BC-3033 is maintained at less growth and higher contents of carbohydrates as well as starch content compared to BC-3591 during the adverse effect of salinity stress.

 Abstract

Several new heterocycles including pyridine moiety were synthesized from 3-oxo-N-(pyridin-2-yl) butanamide (1) as starting material. Compound 1 was reacted with different reagents to afford the corresponding pyridine derivatives 4-26 which tested for their antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity of novel compounds were evaluated by 2, 2?-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical scavenging assays.
