Abstract: This research report on a survey of teleworkers in Canada's urban national capital region (NCR) and in adjacent rural Lanark County focuses on access to higher bandwidth, what teleworkers actually do, their tasks, and their home/office co-worker links that attempt to produce efficient geographies of electronic space. The article discusses the urban-rural bandwidth divide, changing perceptions of telework, the way organizations deal with teleworkers, added teleworker efficiency/effectiveness linked to higher bandwidth, the potential power of "elite" teleworkers, and seasonal teleworkers operating in two (rural and urban) residences. It also notes the impacts of the survey project on stakeholders such as teleworkers themselves and the private sector, and on local, provincial, and federal government information highway/smart communities policy. Résumé: Ce rapport de recherche porte sur un sondage de travailleurs et travailleuses à domicile dans la région de la capitale nationale du Canada et dans le comté rural adjacent (le comté Lanark). Le rapport concerne l'accès à une largeur de bande accrue, ce que font vraiment les télétravailleurs, leurs tâches, et leurs relations avec les collègues et autres à la maison et au bureau qui essaient de former ensemble des réseaux efficaces dans l'espace électronique. Cet article discute de la différence de largeur de bande entre ville et campagne, des perceptions changeantes du télétravail, de la manière dont les organisations traitent les télétravailleurs, d'une largeur de bande accrue qui permettrait aux télétravailleurs d'être plus efficaces, du pouvoir potentiel de télétravailleurs « d'élite », et des télétravailleurs saisonniers qui oeuvrent dans deux résidences (urbaine et rurale). L'article note en outre l'impact du sondage sur les parties en cause telles que les télétravailleurs eux-mêmes et le secteur privé, et sur les politiques locales, provinciales et fédérales relatives à l'autoroute de l'information et aux communautés informatiques.

Personality Disposition

This article explored the role of personality disposition and value preference as predictors of social well-being in the context of ecological setting. Ecological contexts like rural and urban are critical, particularly in a developing country like India, because they represent significant disparities and variations in the lived experiences of the people. The participants ( n = 360) from the age range of 15–65 years (M = 33.50, SD = 11.99) were drawn from two ecological settings, that is, rural (Gorakhpur Region, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India) and urban (National Capital Region of Delhi, India) and from both the genders. They completed the measures of social well-being, value preference and personality dispositions. The results showed that the different facets of social well-being were differentially related to the aspects of personality and value preference. Ecological setting had significant influence on the measures of personality disposition, value preference and social well-being. Regression analysis showed that except neuroticism, all other factors of personality had consistent positive contribution as the predictors of social well-being. It was also observed that social value and growth factors of value preference had significant contribution, whereas personal value and protection—factors of value preference—had negative contribution as the predictors of social well-being.

Hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism, which affected 34.35% females are someanother factors for such a high incidence of infertility in this region.

In India, the concept of organic food is gaining widespread acceptability. Consumers are becoming more conscious about their health and are looking for food that serves as a promising alternative. Corporates, NGOs, Spiritual leaders and Government are also promoting this food, as it is free from irradiation, chemicals and artificial additives. A number of organic food brands are available in the market. The main objective of this study is to find out the level of brand awareness and its influence on purchase of organic grocery. The data was collected from 150 organic consumers in National Capital Region (Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Noida) through a structured questionnaire. Questions related to brand recall, brand recognition and purchase of organic grocery were asked. It was found that in general, there is a low level of brand awareness among consumers, and those who have high level of awareness; they consume organic grocery more often. The study will help corporates to make effective communication and brand-building strategies.

Waste Burning

The north Indian states of Haryana and Punjab are believed to be the key sources of air pollution in the National Capital Region due to massive agricultural waste burning in crop harvesting seasons. However, with the pandemic COVID-19 hitting the country, the usual practices were disrupted. COVID-19 preventive lockdown led to restricted vehicular and industrial emissions and caused the labours to leave the agricultural business in Haryana and Punjab. With the changed scenario of 2020, the present study investigates the variations in air quality over the Haryana and Punjab, and their relative impact on the air quality of Delhi. The work attempts to understand the change in agricultural waste burning during 2020 and its implication on the local air quality over both the states and the transported pollution on the national capital Delhi. The study utilises in-situ data for the year 2019–2020 with satellite observations of MODIS aqua/terra for fire counts, aerosol optical depth (AOD) and back-trajectories run by the hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory model (HYSPLIT).
