Organic food production is a self-regulated industry with government oversight in some countries, distinct from private gardening. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan, and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification based on government-defined standards in order to market food as organic within their borders. In the context of these regulations, foods marketed as organic are produced in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organic industry trade organizations. The need of the study is that demand is growing as incidences of food adulteration are repeatedly reported on in global media and consumer consciousness of natural, healthy and safe foods rises. The study is about analyzing the perception and attitude of customers towards organic food usage in Coimbatore. The main objective is to know the consumer awareness level of attitude towards organic food and to know the problems and issues faced by organic food. For this purpose a sample of 110 was collected with the respondents and factor analysis was used as a tool to analyze the data. The conclusion is that more awareness programs can be conducted to increase the awareness level of the customers about the organic foods which leads to increase in volume for the companies selling organic foods.

Governments around the world have stopped all educational institutions to prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading, directly affecting students, educators, and institutions. Pupils are confused by the rapid change from a real classroom to a virtual environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate students' views of academic stress in modern online education, as well as their emotional intelligence-based coping mechanisms. A total sample of 77 students were selected randomly between the age group of 18-19 (30 males and 47 females) from a private college at Coimbatore. A well-structured Emotional Intelligence Scale, developed by Sharma (2007) – contains 44 items which cover five dimensions Self-awareness, Managing emotions, Motivating oneself, Empathy, and Handling relationship, and student's academic stress scale by Rajendran and Kaliappan (1990) – comprises of 40 items which covers fie dimensions Personal Adequacy, Fear of Failure, Interpersonal difficulties with teachers, Teacher – Pupil relationship/ Teaching methods and Inadequate study facilities was used to collect the data along with socio – demographic details. Karl Pearson test, t – test was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant relationship between age, parent's monthly income, hours spent on education by the respondents regarding academic stress and their emotional intelligence. there is no statistically significant difference between gender of the respondents overall academic stress, however, the mean score of all the dimensions of academic stress of female respondents are slightly higher than the mean score of all the dimensions of male students. And, there is no statistically significant difference between gender of the respondents and their overall emotional intelligence, nevertheless the male respondents have possessed higher managing emotion whereas a slightly higher various dimension of emotional intelligence namely Self-awareness, managing emotion, empathy, handling relationship and emotional intelligence except motivating oneself; Female respondents have possessed a slightly higher motivating oneself. There is a statistical significant difference between place of residence of the respondents and academic stress. there is a statistical significant difference between place of residence of the respondents and academic stress however respondents who are residing in rural area have possessed a slightly higher various dimension of emotional intelligence scale namely, managing emotion, empathy, motivating oneself, handling relationship and emotional intelligence whereas respondents who are residing in urban area have possessed a slightly higher Self-awareness.

Recent innovations in the field of technology led to the use of wireless sensor networks in various applications, which consists of a number of small, very tiny, low-cost, non-tamper proof and resource constrained sensor nodes. These nodes are often distributed and deployed in an unattended environment, so as to collaborate with each other to share data or information. Amidst various applications, wireless sensor network finds a major role in monitoring battle field in military applications. As these non-tamperproof nodes are deployed in an unattended location, they are vulnerable to many security attacks. Amongst many security attacks, the node replication attack seems to be more threatening to the network users. Node Replication attack is caused by an attacker, who catches one true node, duplicates the first certification and cryptographic materials, makes at least one or more copies of the caught node and spots them at certain key positions in the system to screen or disturb the network operations. Preventing the occurrence of such node replication attacks in network is a challenging task. In this survey article, we provide the classification of detection schemes and also explore the various schemes proposed in each category. Also, we compare the various detection schemes against certain evaluation parameters and also its limitations. Finally, we provide some suggestions for carrying out future research work against such attacks.

For scores of years now, several microfinance organizations, non governmental organizations and other welfare organizations have, with a view to aiding the progress of communities rooted in poverty have been focusing on creating microentrepreneurs, besides taking several other measures. In recent times, business corporations have joined forces to combat poverty by taking up microenterprise development. Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), the Indian subsidiary of Unilever Limited exemplifies this through its Project Shakti. The company through the Project creates rural women entrepreneurs by making them direct to home sales distributors of its products in villages that have thus far been ignored by multinational corporations. The members participating in Project Shakti are largely self help group members. The paper focuses on assessing the impact made by the company on the members engaged in Project Shakti. The analysis involves use of quantitative methods to study the effect of Project Shakti on those self help group members engaged in Project Shakti and those not engaged with Project Shakti. Path analysis has been used to study the impact made on those members engaged in Project Shakti. Significant differences were observed on fronts of entrepreneurial development, economic empowerment and social empowerment between members associated with Project Shakti and those not associated with Project Shakti. Path analysis demonstrated that involvement in Project Shakti led to entrepreneurial development resulting in economic empowerment that in turn led to social empowerment and that these three elements independently induced a feeling of privilege in the women for being associated with the Project.

Injuries are now a major cause of death and disability among adolescents in the world.Road traffic accident (RTA) is defined as, "An event that occurs on a way or street open to public traffic; resulting in one or more persons being injured or killed, where at least one moving vehicle is involved." RTAs are considered as one of the important public health problems around the world. It is the eighth leading cause of death globally. Current trends suggest that by 2030 road traffic deaths will become the fifth leading cause of death unless urgent action is taken.1 According to the global status report on road safety 2013, about 1.24 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes.2 Without action, road traffic crashes are predicted to result in the deaths of around 1.9 million people annually by 2020.3 91% of the world's fatalities on the roads occur in low-income and middle-income countries, even though these countries have approximately half of the world's vehicles.
