The models and the aspiring models: assessing the sustainable rural development philosophy and reality in India through multi-dimensional indices by Sangeeta Bhattacharyya, R. R. Burman, Rabindra Nath Padaria, Sudipta Paul, Palanisamy Venkatesh, Anindita Datta, Pinaki Roy, Suchandra Dutta, Samrat Sikdar, Savita Kumari

“…Rural Health Status Index/RHSI (8 indicators), Rural Educational Status Index/RESI (6 indicators), Rural Farming Status Index/RFSI (8 indicators), Rural Infrastructure Index/RIF (40 indicators), Rural Livestock Status Index/RLSI (8 indicators), Rural Ecological Status Index/RECSI (7 indicators) and Status of Rural Women Index/SRWI (6 indicators) were developed using Categorical Principal Components Analysis method. Validation of the indices were done with 1200 respondents (n = 1200) of Model Villages and SAGY Villages of Maharashtra and Telangana states.Results and discussionThe SAGY villages of Telangana were found to have progressed more than the Models of their state in terms of educational (RESI = 0.87), farming (RFSI = 1.06), livestock (RLSI = 1.31) and ecological status (RECSI = 0.56). …”

Transforming waste into valuable resources: Recycled nitrile-butadiene rubber scraps filled with electric arc furnace slag by Anna Gobetti, Giovanna Cornacchia, Giorgio Ramorino

“…Interestingly, EAF slag facilitates the rapid fractional recovery of the low-strain storage modulus after experiencing high-amplitude strain, ascribed to the formation of a rigid rubber layer around the slag particles.Overall, the findings highlight the potential to valorize these two waste materials effectively by producing functional recycled NBR/EAF slag composites with desirable properties through a simple, industrially viable recycling method without capital-intensive equipment. …”
