ABSTRACT: This study looked into how nurses in a few Aba North L.G.A. hospitals in Abia State assessed the impact of workplace safety on their ability to do their jobs. A descriptive research design was employed in the study. The tool used to collect data was a verified and pretested questionnaire created by the researcher. The study's population consisted of all Aba North nurses. Purposively selected, 77 nurses made up the sample size. Chi-square was the inferential statistic used in the analysis of the data, which was done using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages. The results indicated that nurses in Aba North L.G.A. attributed a remarkably high perceived influence (81.7%) to workplace safety concerning their job performance. It provided further insights into the perceived influence of workplace safety based on different demographic factors. Among different age groups, participants below 30 years exhibited a relatively lower perceived influence (68.8%), while those aged 31-40 years (81.1%), 41-50 years (83.3%), and beyond 50 years reported very high perceived influence (100%) with statistically significant differences (p=0.042). Both males (80.0%) and females (83.3%) perceived a very high influence of workplace safety on job performance, with a significant association (p=0.0001). Marital status also showed a significant perceived influence, with singles (85.2%), married individuals (80.0%), separated individuals (100.0%), and widows/widowers (83.3%) reporting very high levels (p=0.003). Participants' highest level of qualification revealed varying levels of perceived influence, with RN (78.1%), RN/RM (75.9%), BNSc (71.4%), and MSc holders reporting very high perceived influence, and a statistically significant relationship was found (p=0.0001). Regarding years of experience, nurses with less than 10 years (85.7%) and 10-30 years (92.8%) perceived a high influence of workplace safety on job performance. However, those with more than 30 years of experience reported a relatively lower perceived influence (57.1%) with a statistically significant difference (p=0.048). In conclusion, this study highlights a strong perceived influence of workplace safety on job performance among nurses in Aba North L.G.A. This finding suggests that workplace safety plays a crucial role in influencing the performance of nurses in the studied location. The findings emphasize the importance of considering demographic variables when understanding this relationship. The results can assist healthcare organizations in formulating targeted interventions to promote workplace safety and enhance nurses' performance and well-being, ultimately leading to improved patient care outcomes.

Abstract: Basmati rice has long been popular in Asia due to its distinctive natural aroma and characteristic elongation of grains after cooking. Demand for Basmati is increasing worldwide, especially in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Basmati rice from India and Pakistan earns almost three-times the price of high quality non-Basmati rice in the domestic and the international markets. Despite this, the development of high-yielding Basmati rice varieties has not kept pace with indica rice because of its incompatibility with improved indica, resulting in highly sterile crosses of indica x Basmati. Polygenic control over some of the quality traits in Basmati rice is another limitation, complicating attempts to combine desirable traits such as high yield, superior cooking quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this article, an attempt has been made to review the historical development of Basmati quality and aroma traits in the Indian subcontinent under different environmental and agronomic conditions. Special emphasis is given to the problems and prospects of Basmati rice breeding, with reference to trade, policy, marketing, and future research programs.

Abstract: The official documentation deploys terms like Fituri, Hool, Ding, Ulgulan and Vidroha to describe varied uprisings which were dubbed mainly as law and order problems. However recent researches have shown that these terms denoted popular uprisings against colonial exploitation. These were led by peasants and tribals who were not monolithic entities. The differentiation within peasants and tribals indicated that they were parts of existing social structures and during time of protest, they were as much helped by other poor classes.

Abstract:  North American monsoon is a key system in  global monsoon systems. I have conducted many scientific researches on this monsoon system  and as a part these researches, I proposed and designed the Basics of North American Monsoon Time Scale  which can help to study the past, present and future movements & conditions of the North American  monsoon. In the current year 2022, the pre-path of Indian summer monsoon was traveling upwards and reached to the 29th June. Below this, the main-path of Indian summer monsoon also traveled upwards parallel to the pre-path of Indian summer monsoon with a difference of about 30 days and reached to the 29th July, As it moves further up, changes in the climate are likely increasing and there are more chances of heavy rains and floods in the coming years
