Although many factors influence academic achievement in science of secondary school students but problem solving ability and study habits are found to b e more influential. The present study focuses on the academic achievement, problem solving ability and study habits of adolescents. Survey method was employed by the researcher for the present study. The sample of study consisted of 400 tribal and non-tribal students selected randomly from higher secondary schools of Koraput district. Data were collected by administering the standardised tools, i.e., Problem Solving Ability Test and Study Habits Inventory (SHI) developed by the researcher. Collected data were analysed and interpreted by applying descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The findings of the study disclose that problem solving ability and study habits of non-tribal students are better than the tribal students. Also the results of the study reveal that problem solving ability and study habits largely contribute for better academic achievement in science of secondary level students. Students having high problem solving ability and good study habits exhibit better academic achievement than the students having low problem solving ability and poor study habits.","PeriodicalId":21445,"journal":{"name":"Science and culture","volume":"185 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74879353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study has been carried out in 7 major rivers of India namely Ganga, Yamuna, Kali, Subarnarekha, Godavari, Gadilam and Thamirabarani. Selected heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in water, sediment and dominant finfish species (Labeo rohita, Heteropneustes fossilis and Puntius sp.) were studied. Results suggest that Yamuna waters have Zn, Cu, Pb levels considerably higher than the WHO (2011) and BIS (2012) standards. Sediment data has shown Cr in Ganga and Subarnarekha, Cu in Yamuna and Subarnarekha and Pb in Subarnarekha and Kali rivers respectively are considerably higher than the USEPA and TEL standards. The records for Cr, Zn and Pb in Labeo rohita; Cr, Cd and Pb in Heteropneustes fossilis and Puntius sp. have shown considerably higher concentration in comparison to FAO/WHO (2019).These records have been found much higher than the FAO/WHO (1989) standards. The target hazard quotient (THQ) and hazard index (HI) were calculated and found consumption of L. rohita from river Ganga and H. fossilis and Puntius sp. from river Kali are not safe for human health.","PeriodicalId":21445,"journal":{"name":"Science and culture","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73026964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
