Although the general public has strongly supported parental engagement as a solution for school education, there are still some difficult questions surrounding this topic because the research in this field has shown conflicting results [1]. Academic decisions, such as choice of college major, career path, and educational goals, are critical milestones in the transition to adulthood. The extent to which parental control shapes these decisions has significant implications for personal development and future outcomes. Through a structured questionnaire (google form) surveys, data of 100 respondents from Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology were collected from a diverse sample of young adults. Findings suggest that parental control manifests in various forms, including direct influence on decision outcomes, indirect shaping of aspirations, and psychological impact on autonomy and self-confidence. The study reveals nuanced dynamics wherein parental involvement ranges from supportive guidance to restrictive directives, influencing young adults' perceptions of their relationship with their parents. When parental participation is viewed as a tool to help children succeed academically, the nature of the independent variable and the degree to which it can influence learning outcomes become research topics in and of themselves [2]. These insights contribute to understanding the complex interplay between familial influence and individual autonomy in the educational and career pathways of young adults.","PeriodicalId":505977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":"115 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821926","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}

Thus, the accurate identification of this species is significant for its conservation as well as for areas where it is endangered due to factors such as habitat destruction and hunting. This study applies molecular analysis for the identification of the Indian peafowl by analyzing shed feather samples non-invasively through DNA barcoding. Barcoding the species was done by using the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences. The study is rightly able to establish that DNA obtained from shed feathers can generate DNA barcodes, which help with species identification. This method provides a useful instrument for the wildlife tracking and the conservation of birds by providing an efficient and non-harmful way of identifying and tracking the population of the species. These results show that DNA barcoding could be useful in increasing the efficiency of species identification, differentiation in avian research to the broader field of molecular ecology for the monitoring, conservation and management.","PeriodicalId":505977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830931","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}

These are being organized from time to time by different agricultural institutes throughout the year to create awareness among the farmers and farm women about new technologies in agricultural and allied subjects developed by researchers from central and state agricultural and allied research centres, state agricultural universities and some private sector institutions. The present study was conducted in the Dhemaji Hut- The Atmanirbhar Dhemaji, a Kisan mela cum exhibition programme, organized by the Dhemaji district administration, Assam in collaboration with Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhemaji, Assam Agricultural University, Simen Chapori, Assam on 11th to 13th January 2024. Two hundred forty respondents were selected randomly and interviewed personally with the help of pre-tested, semi-structured interview schedule. They were interviewed to know about their personal details, their satisfaction level with the Kisan mela, their views on different components of the event, any constraints they faced during the mela. The data recorded were analyzed using frequency and percentage. The findings revealed that majority of farmers and farm women were satisfied about the location of the venue (1st), the behavior of different mela organizing persons (2nd) and the timing of the event (3rd). Among the constraints perceived by the respondents, 38.33% found no constraint in any form while 37.50% reported ‘lack of sanitary facility’ as the major constraint in the mela. With sufficient numbers of toilets and proper arrangement for regular cleaning of the same during mela period in future may be the solution to such problem. Some other constraints recorded from farmers’ perspectives were non-availability of quality seeds, high price of products/ seeds, disturbance in routine work in agriculture fields, cost of transportation and provision for meals etc. It can be concluded that although the Kisan melas play a very effective role in the dissemination of information on agriculture and allied subjects, they must be updated each year based on the feedback received to catch more attention from the farmers and make it more effective.","PeriodicalId":505977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":"16 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141336537","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}
