Rural households are engage in a variety of farm and non-farm activities based on initial assets endowments to diversify their income and cope with the risk of agricultural loss. This study was designed to assess linkage between income diversification and asset ownership among rural households in study area. Mult-stage sampling techniques were used to collect primary data from 237 farm households using semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and econometric models were used to analyze the data. Tobit model was used to pinpoint factors that affect intensity of household income diversification and principal component analysis was used to index asset owned by households. The study shows that farm activities are the most important source of income for rural households in the study area contributing 90.92% of total households income with the remaining 9.08% originating from non-farm activities. A mean of income diversification index is 0.414(41.4%). Factors that affect intensity of household income diversification were: aggregate index of human capital, aggregate financial capital index and extension contact positively and membership in agricultural cooperative, sex of household heads and access to training negatively. In the study area generally, household asset ownership positively and significantly affected intensity of households income diversification and it has served as means for income diversification.

Freshwater molluscs are the integral part of every aquatic ecosystem and help not only in the ecosystem’s functioning but also enable the ecologists to judge the health of their abode. These shelled animals are used as the best biomonitoring tools worldwide. Gradually declining water quality of freshwater bodies owing to multiple factors, their biodiversity is also facing threat. Majority of the freshwater bodies near human vicinities are facing anthropogenic interventions, habitat destructions and overexploitation and the same is being reflected by the elimination of sensitive molluscan species and survival as well as abundance of other tolerant ones. The current study has been undertaken to understand the Malacofauna biodiversity in Morni hills, Panchkula, Haryana. During the study, total 359 gastropods both aquatic and land snails were collected. Premonsoon season witnessed greater molluscan abundance, 8.46 times, than post-monsoon. The molluscan biodiversity, 7 species, 7 Genera and 5 families, namely Filopaludina bengalensis, Melanoides tuberculata, Radix luteola, Gyraulus ladacensis, Indoplanorbis exustus, Ariophanta interrupta and Macrochlamys indica.Shannon-Weiner Index (H) and Simpson Diversity Index (D) for both seasons indicated higher species diversity during post monsoon season.

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) researches the use of computer technology mainly focused on the interfaces between human users and computers. Expression of emotion comprises of challenging style as it is produced with plaint text and short messaging language as well. This research paper investigates on the overview of emotion recognition from various texts and expresses the emotion detection methodologies applying Machine Learning Approach (MLA). This paper recommends resolving the problem of feature meagerness, and largely improving the emotion recognition presentation from short texts by achieving the three aims: (I) The representing short texts along with word cluster features, (II) Presenting a narrative word clustering algorithm, and (iii) Making use of a new feature weighting scheme of the Emotion classification. Experiments were performed for the classifying the emotions with different features and weighting schemes, on the openly available dataset. We have used the word clusters in place of unigrams as features, the micro-averages of accuracy have been found to be enhanced by more than three percentage, which suggests that the overall accuracy value of the text emotion classifier has been improved. All the macro-averages were enhanced by more than one percentage, which suggests that the word cluster feature can advance the generalization potential of the emotion classifier. The experimental results suggest that the text words cluster features and the proposed weighting scheme can moderately resolve the problems of the emotion recognition performance and the feature sparseness.
