Gender inequality in the workplace is a universal issue that is persistent despite ample progressive efforts. The Global Gender Gap Report 2021 states that at the current progress rate, another 100 years are required to achieve gender equality. Gender inequality is quite prominent in the Indian Corporate culture but has not been systematically studied. The study, therefore, attempts to model the most prominent antecedent and its consequences through a survey of 310 women working in corporates from tier I & tier II cities of India. The prominent antecedents identified were Lack of Economic Decision Making, Objectification of Women, Gender Role Beliefs and Strain, Mobility issues, Lack of family support, Violence, and Explicit Discrimination. These antecedents consequently impose a huge impact on women's self-confidence, role in society, and mental health. The study also puts forward recommendations for corrective measures toward promoting gender diversity in Indian corporates. The study adds a unique proposition to an existing body of scientific literature by giving a comprehensive view of a contemporary issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to examine the literature on biodiesel manufacturing, combustion, performance, and emissions. This research is based on the findings of many researchers who published their study. As fossil fuels deplete, there is apressing need to develop an alternative fuel to meet the world's energy demands. Biodiesel is one of the best available alternatives for meeting the world's energy requirement. More than 350 oil-bearing crops have been identified, with some only being studied as potential diesel engine alternative fuels. Different oils and their mixtures with diesel were used in the testing by the scientists and experts. Short-term engine testing using vegetable oils as fuels are quite successful, according to the vast majority of scientists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we present the study of the fabrication process of the sol-gel derived zinc oxide (ZnO) as an electron transport layer (ETL.). The solution processed inverted bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on a thin film blend of poly (3-hexylthiophene 2, 5-diyl) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester is prepared.. ZnO thin films are annealed at different temperature to optimize the solar cell performance and their characterization for their structural and optical properties are carried out. We have observed V=70mV, Jsc=1.33μA/cm² and FF=26% from the inverted heterojunction solar cell. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Here we report the preparation and electrical characterization of nanocomposite of PPy/TiO2/CNT/SLS synthesized by in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of TiO2 nanofibers, CNT and surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate. The surface morphology and elemental analysis is studied by SEM and EDAX. Dielectric and modulas studies were carried out in frequency range of 1 KHz to 2 MHz which provides quantitative description of grain and grain boundary effect in nanocomposite material.
