Micro-Irrigation Technologies in India and Africa
Water is an essential resource for the realization of the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The increasing global food insecurity, hunger, human population, and uneconomical extraction and use of non-renewable resources require, among other things, a substantial intensification of agricultural production. In this context, there has been a need to adopt irrigation technologies, especially in developing countries where agriculture and its allied sectors employ more than 50% of the total population but account for up to 90% of the total freshwater consumptive use. India and Africa are at the crux of this conundrum, where there is an urgent need to build resilience with the already excessively allotted water resources. Innovative and water-efficient irrigation technologies could be one of the windows of opportunity to overcome water scarcity and enhance food security in these regions.

Social Function of Emotional Contagion
The way to establish intimate social bonds is usually embedded in daily interactions, especially emotional interaction. Our emotions are often spontaneously influenced by others during an interaction. Researchers have broadly defined the phenomenon of emotion transferring from expressers to observers as “emotional contagion”. Emotional contagion is considered functional, as it facilitates interpersonal understanding, closeness, and coordination. Evidence supporting the social functioning perspective has revealed an association between emotional contagion and the quality of social bonds.
