Rights-based reproductive services in medical schools in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Chandigarh, India: baseline findings of mixed-methods implementation research.

Introduction: There is a need to assess and strengthen reproductive rights-based family planning and abortion services in Indian medical schools that play a key role in medical education and service delivery. This study presents the findings of baseline assessment across nine schools in two states and one union territory with objective to assess, identify the gaps and improve the status of reproductive rights and evidence-based family planning and abortion services in Indian medical schools.

Methods: A convergent parallel mixed methods study was conducted in nine medical schools in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Chandigarh a Union territory in India from October 2018 to June 2019.

Optical and electrical characteristics of perovskite solar cells incorporating MoO as an active layer.

Perovskite-based solar cell technologies have sparked much interest in recent decades. A solar cell's efficiency is an essential factor in developing a highly efficient device. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Perovskite-based solar cells can be enhanced by adding new materials to the photon-absorbing layer and altering the electron and hole transport layers.

Influence of layer thickness on the power conversion efficiency of tin halide-based planar heterojunction solar cells.

In recent years, perovskite-based solar cell technologies have sparked much interest. Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) are a type of perovskite that has shown promise in various optoelectronic applications. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic-inorganic perovskite materials is improving with new materials development.

Evolution of novel strains of Ensifer nodulating the invasive legume Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit in different climatic regions of India through lateral gene transfer.

More than 200 root-nodule bacterial strains were isolated from Leucaena leucocephala growing at 42 sampling sites across 12 states and three union territories of India. Genetic diversity was observed among 114 strains from various climatic zones; based on recA, these were identified as strains of Ensifer, Mesorhizobium, Rhizobium, and Bradyrhizobium. In multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) strains clustered into several novel clades and lineages.
