The psychosocial impact on single mothers' well-being - A literature review.

In India, single-parent families are proliferating. In particular, women are taking the lead in assuming the role. They are the most vulnerable of all the disadvantaged groups.

Does the Covid-19 pandemic affect faith-based investments? Evidence from global sectoral indices.

In this paper, we aim to investigate the influence of the Covid-19 on the behavior of the S&P 1200 Shariah and non-Shariah sectoral indices over the period from 1st October 2010 to 29th October 2020. We contribute to the global literature by examining the financial impact of the Covid-19 on the Shariah and non-Shariah sectoral indices. We find that the S&P 1200 Shariah Communication, consumer staples, financials, healthcare, industrials, IT, materials, and utility sectors earn higher average returns than their counterpart sectoral indices during the Covid-19 period.

Synthesis, characterization and application of acryloyl chitosan anchored copolymer towards algae flocculation.

A novel water soluble flocculant AC-g-P(DMC-MACPPC) was synthesized by free radical polymerization of [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) and 4-methacryloyl 1-cyclopentyl piperazinium chloride (MACPPC), grafted on to acryloyl chitosan (AC). The grafting of copolymer was confirmed by DRS-UV, FTIR, NMR, Raman, XRD and XPS spectral techniques. The AC-g-P(DMC-MACPPC) exhibits higher flocculation efficiency towards harvesting of C.

An expedient sequential one-pot four component synthesis of novel steroidal spiro-pyrrolidine heterocycles in ionic liquid.

A facile one-pot synthesis of novel steroidal dispiro-indenoquinoxaline pyrrolidines via multicomponent-[3+2]-cycloaddition of azomethine ylides in ionic liquid is described. The structure of cycloadduct is confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, high resolution mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

Synthesis and characterization of chitosan-g-N-methyl piperazinium chloride: A hybrid flocculant.

Flocculation is one of the most widely applied techniques for water treatment. Flocculants based on natural polymer has received more attention due to their eco-friendliness in recent years. New water soluble N-methyl piperazinium chloride grafted chitosan flocculant (chitosan-g-N-MPC) was successfully synthesized and thoroughly characterized using FTIR, NMR and powder X-ray diffraction analytical techniques.
