The implementation and effective management of watershed-development projects is recognised as a strategy for rural development throughout the developing world. Several government and non-government agencies have launched watershed-development projects to tackle the challenges of soil conservation, improving land productivity, and economic upliftment of the rural poor for efficient use of natural resources. Participatory community-driven institutions of integrated watershed management are considered vital for the sustainability of natural resources. This study focuses on the impact of local institutions on watershed development in India and examines the degree of women's participation in relation to the effective management of natural resources and sustainable development.Le rôle des institutions locales dans la gestion durable des bassins versants : enseignements de l'Inde La mise en oeuvre et la gestion efficace des projets d'aménagement des bassins versants sont reconnues comme constituant une stratégie de développement rural dans l'ensemble des pays en développement. Plusieurs agences gouvernementales et non gouvernementales ont lancé des projets de développement des bassins versants pour tenter de relever les défis que sont la conservation des sols, l'amélioration de la productivité des terres et l'amélioration de la situation économique des pauvres des zones rurales afin d'assurer une utilisation efficace des ressources naturelles. Les institutions participatives et impulsées par la communauté se consacrant à la gestion intégrée des bassins versants sont considérées comme essentielles pour la durabilité des ressources naturelles. Cette étude se concentre sur l'impact des institutions locales sur l'aménagement des bassins versants en Inde et examine le degré de participation des femmes en ce qui concerne la gestion efficace des ressources naturelles et le développement durable. O papel das instituições locais na gestão sustentável de bacias hidrográficas: lições da ÍndiaA implementação e gestão efetiva de projetos de desenvolvimento de bacias hidrográficas são reconhecidas como uma estratégia para o desenvolvimento rural nos países em desenvolvimento em geral. Diversas agências governamentais e não-governamentais têm lançado projetos de desenvolvimento de bacias hidrográficas para combater os desafios da conservação do solo, melhorando a produtividade da terra e a ascensão econômica das pessoas pobres que vivem na zona rural para o uso eficiente de recursos naturais. Instituições comunitárias participativas de gestão integrada de bacias hidrográficas são consideradas vitais para a sustentabilidade dos recursos naturais. Este estudo focaliza o impacto de instituições locais no desenvolvimento de bacias hidrográficas na Índia e examina o grau de participação das mulheres em relação à gestão efetiva de recursos naturais e desenvolvimento sustentável.El rol de las instituciones locales en la administración sustentable de cuencas de agua: lecciones de India La ejecución y administración eficiente de proyectos de ...

Solar spectrum and sensitivity of human eyes peak at green wavelength range of visible light, and the materials that can respond to a larger part of the visible spectrum are highly sought after. Two-dimensional graphene-like zinc oxide (gZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor, but photogeneration of electron–hole pairs in it at visible wavelengths has not been achieved so far. Here, the sub-band gap excitation in 2D zinc oxide layers covered with gold nanoparticles is reported. The sub-band gap excitation and corresponding emission are correlated with oxygen interstitials introduced by AuNP deposition in the gZnO lattice. Attachment of AuNPs on gZnO also leads to increased electron availability at oxygen sites of the gZnO lattice, which translates into greater electron availability for sub-band gap excitation. The plasmonically enhanced trap level to conduction band transition constitutes sub-band gap excitation and manifests itself in local surface potential measurements carried out using a Kelvin probe force microscope.

The current global healthcare crisis can be regarded as the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic afflicting the twenty-first century's population. Aside from the high transmission rates, no proven medication, the widespread ambiguity surrounding this pandemic has also been a major challenge for HCWs. They feel obligated to respond to the call to help people, but are paralyzed by the fear that they will contract a disease while assisting others. COVID-19 has imposed pressures on healthcare professionals who are already at a high risk of burnout. This contradiction has led to psychological suffering, such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, among Health care Worker. Recent studies have shown that yoga practice makes a big difference in how healthcare professionals feel about their own accomplishments, depression, anxiety, stress, perceived resilience, and compassion. Health Care Workers in Orissa, India, working at a covid hospital, were the subjects of a before-and-after yoga intervention study designed to gauge the impact of the practice on their levels of burnout due to their own lives, nature of their job, and their patients. The results of this study indicate that yoga can be an effective factor for resilience to stress and help healthcare workers cope with burnout, stress, and anxiety. Keywords: Anxiety, Burnout, Yoga.
