ThesisItem Open Access Impact of perceived stress and self efficacy on happiness among female school teachers during COVID-19 pandemic(CCSHAU Hisar, 2022-07) Reema; Yadav, PoonamHappiness is something which every human being quest for since a long time. Particularly at present, in this COVID pandemic, it has been the most important consideration for human being to stay safe, healthy and happy rather than being rich or famous. The purpose of this research is to determine the factors that differentiate happiness of teachers who work in government and private schools and factors impacting happiness of female school teachers. In addition, due to lack of research focused on happiness of teachers, the aim is also to contribute to the literature. The present study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state. From selected Government and Private schools, 120 female school teachers were taken as subjects for the study. Selected tools were administered upon the teachers to collect the information as per specific objectives of the study. Frequency, percentages, mean, and standard deviation for comparison by using Z test and ANOVA, Chi Square test for association and coefficient of correlation for relationship between variables. Out of total sample nearly one-third (43.3%) of the school teachers reported moderate level of perceived stress followed by severe (32.5%) and low level (24.2%). Nearly (47.5%) of total respondents reported moderate self-efficacy score followed by high (26.7%) and low (25.8%). Statistical significant differences were observed in the mean scores of perceived stress and self-efficacy of government and private teachers. As a protective measure self- efficacy was significantly associated with happiness which means those respondents who were more self-efficacious were happier. On an alarming front nearly one third of teachers were in lower level of happiness. Statistically significant differences were not observed in mean scores of happiness among government and private teachers. Private teachers scored higher mean on happiness than government teachers. It was revealed that happiness among school teachers is significantly negatively correlated to perceived stress and positively as well as significantly correlated with self efficacy. Type of school and size of family were significantly associated with happiness of teachers. Further it was inferred that happiness of school teachers does not have significant difference with respect to their age, teaching cadre and experience. Private teachers were significantly higher on self efficacy, lower on perceived stress. This research is important for the happiness of the students and the contribution of happiness of the teachers.ThesisItem Open Access Potential of beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) vuillemin against polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) in chilli(CCSHAU, 2015) Reema; Gulati, RachnaStudies on damage potential of Polyphagotarsonemus latus revealed that susceptibility of chilli leaves increased significantly with increase in inoculums level of Polyphagotarsonemus latus. Significantly higher numbers of eggs (19.88 eggs/leaf), nymphs (12.08 nymph/leaf) and adults (20.25 adults/leaf) were recorded at pre count of 20 mites followed by 15, 10 and 5 mites inoculums per grown up leaf. Irrespective of the inoculums level, maximum number of eggs (32.47 eggs/leaf), nymphs (21.27 nymph/leaf) and adults (23.92 adults/leaf) was recorded on third week of January which was significantly higher than the mites recorded at other observation periods. Chlorotic patches and photosynthetic pigments i.e., total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids of chilli significantly decreased with increase in inoculums level of P. latus. Significant negative correlation was recorded between mite population and total chlorophyll (r= -0.97), chlorophyll a (r= -0.97), chlorophyll b (r= -0.89) and carotenoids (r= -0.97) in chilli leaves. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, total sugar and non reducing sugars of chilli leaves showed a significant decline with increase in P. latus infestation whereas, phenol, proline and reducing sugars increased in mite damaged leaves .Fruit parameters (fruit length, fruit width and fruit weight) showed corresponding significant increase with respect to observation period as the P. latus population declined on plants, however, inoculums level does not have significant effect on fruit parameters. LC 50 values for entomopathogenic fungi, B. bassiana strain ITCC 5408 for egg, nymph and adult of P. latus were 5.11×10 8 , 3.96×10 9 and 3.08×10 8 conidia/ ml whereas LT 50 values were 28, 8.2 and 4.6 hours, respectively. For B. bassiana strain ITCC 5549, LC 50 values for egg, nymph and adult of P. latus were 1.22×10 7 , 8.39×10 10 and 1.94×10 9 conidia/ ml whereas LT 50 values were 24.5, 6.4 and 5.5 hours, respectively. In field studies, B. bassiana, Omite and Nimbecidine showed slight effect against P. latus.
