The photosynthetic fixation of14CO2was studied in 10 species of chlorophycean algae and in 9 isolates of prasinophycean algae of the genus Tetraselmis.Green seaweeds had photosynthetic rates of 2.2 to 4.4 mg CO2 × h−1 × g−1, accumulated starch, glucose, fructose, and sucrose, and excreted very little recent photosynthate.Dunaliella spp. were distinguished by a high level of organic excretion (to 29.2% of the14C fixed in 2 hours), the production of glycerol and hydrogen sulfide, and the absence of dimethyl-β-propiothetin.Tetraselmis spp. excreted relatively small amounts of photosynthate in 2 hours, and produced mannitol and dimethyl-β-propiothetin but not hydrogen sulfide.

SES (socio-economic status) is a measurement of an entity's economic and social position in comparison to others in society. It has an impact on resource accessibility, livelihood patterns, food and nutritional security, and so on. Knowledge, attitude, perception, adoption, change-proneness, level of aspiration, economic motivation and other psychological and behavioural components of a sample are frequently predicted. The present study tried to investigate about the socio economic status of the marginal and small farmers with special reference to Schedule caste and schedule tribe farmers in Kamrup district of Assam. Descriptive research design has been used . Data of 120 respondents were collected with the help of pre-structured questionnaire and personal interview. The study was conducted in 5 villages in Kamrup district of Assam in the year 2021.Thirteen variables were selected viz. category Gender, age, caste, education, annual income, occupation, social participation, types of house, land holding , Mass media exposure, farm power, material possessed, Extension contact were taken into account. Equal numbers of respondents were taken from SC and ST. 64.2% of the respondents were male. Majority of them were under 30 years old. Majority of the percentage had primary level of education, along with medium annual income. The overall SES category was medium level with 48.3% and low level 32.5% of SES category, 19.2% high level.

The high-level production of immunoglobulin G (IgG), anti-DNA antibodies, and id-H130-expressing antibodies has been correlated with both the presence and the severity of nephritis in the murine MRL/lpr lupus model. Although evidence suggests that interleukin-1 (IL-1) could be an important factor in the immunopathogenesis of murine lupus nephritis, its influence on B cell hyperactivity is poorly understood. The in vitro responsiveness of B cells derived from lupus-prone old and young MRL/lpr and healthy C3H/HeJ mice to exogenous IL-1 beta was examined. B cells derived from MRL/lpr mice, and particularly old MRL/lpr mice, were hyperresponsive to exogenous IL-1 beta, demonstrating a marked increase in IgG production with 50 pg/mL concentrations of IL-1 beta as compared with control medium. Whereas MRL/lpr B cells demonstrated remarkable unresponsiveness to high concentrations of IL-1 beta. By contrast, B cells derived from C3H/HeJ mice and cultured with IL-1 beta showed virtually no alteration in IgG production. In addition, B cells derived from old MRL/lpr mice and cultured with IL-1 beta showed a significant increase in the production of anti-DNA and id-H130-expressing antibodies. Collectively, these observations demonstrate increased B cell responsiveness to exogenous IL-1 beta and suggest that heightened IL-1 bioactivity in the murine MRL/lpr lupus model may influence high-level IgG and autoantibody production.

Tax evasion is a serious problem in developing countries which are in the process of evolving their tax systems. The major causes of tax evasion include high level of tax rates, apathy towards government and its laws, and lenient penal action. Widespread tax evasion is a perennial problem of the Indian tax system. The paper looks at the history of taxation law amendments in India which is essentially a history of plugging loopholes, as and when discovered, to prevent leakages of revenue. To fight the evil of black money and tax evasion in India, some of the important measures taken include reduction in tax rates, minimisation of controls and licences, regulation of donations to political parties, creating confidence among small taxpayers, substitution of sales tax by excise duty, vigorous prosecution policy and compulsory maintenance of accounts.
