A Share

Sharecropping is a practice of crop growing where a landlordagrees a tenant to use the land-dwelling in return for a share of the crops produced on that land area.Share cropping is asignificant age old agricultural practise in West Bengal. A massive scope is there to enhance production of paddy in the study area through aggregate the productivity of the crop with the adoption of developedvarieties and improved methods of rice cultivation in owed time and space on a sustainable foundation. Results from the study showed that 26.49 per cent of the total operational holding area was put under share cropping cultivation in rice cultivation, which varied from 19.65 per cent in marginalfarmsto26.86percentinlargefarms. Thus, Share cropping in West Bengal found to be acomplementaryand supplementary source of farm revenue.There seems to be still abundant scope in the study area, to make share cropping more cost-effective as the productivity of rice crop is 2898 kg/ha quite smaller than the Punjab’s productivity (3828 kg/ha) and also smaller than Egypt which has largest productivity in the world.

Information technology adaptation in banking system is essential for facing challenges with competitors, smooth running and to meet requirement of the target customers by providing them best and fast services expected by them. Hence the objective of present research is to compare the adaptation of information technology in Nationalized and Private sector banks. This paper assesses the use of Information Technology and its services in Nationalized and Private banks. The present study was conducted in Nationalized and Private sector banks of Indore (M.P) division. While selecting the bank branch, care was taken to check whether that bank is using Information Technology for providing services to customers. The study shows that there is no major difference in level of Information Technology Adaptation, but Nationalized banks does not provide proper technical assistance and training programs as compared to Private banks. Data was collected from 298 employees of Nationalized and Private Banks from Indore division. T-test was used for data analysis

The Empirical Analysis

The purpose of this study is to establish linkages between sustainable development goals, social responsibility, institutions and cooperatives by developing a comparison, both theoretically and empirically, between cooperatives and non-cooperatives. In order to develop the theoretical underpinnings, post-Williamsonian transaction cost economics (TCE) has been selected as the theoretical framework. For the empirical analysis, a primary survey has been conducted in two prominent handloom hubs of West Bengal spanning over two districts of the state. A binomial logistic regression has been performed in order to analyse the data collected from the weavers of two different institutions—a master weaver institution and a cooperative institution. Following the post-Williamsonian TCE framework, it has been theoretically shown that the cooperative institution is more efficient in implementing the government’s welfare schemes. The result of the empirical analysis shows that education and distance from the cooperative institution are significant variables that help in the effective implementation of the government’s welfare schemes.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.
