Abstract

Study was conducted on constraints faced by the soybean growers and suggestions for their betterment through trainings in Patera block of Damoh district M.P. Data were collected from 120 soybean growers through pretested interview schedule. The data indicate that majority of soybean growers were having (80%) medium to high training needs on soybean production technology. Training only can bridge the enormous gap between remarkable yield achieved by the scientists and obtained by the farmers. It is imperative that the farmers trained in cultivation of crop to keep them abreast of the latest innovation available so as to maintain its quality and stability in production. Training plays a vital role in making the farmers more perceptive and equipping them with new soybean technology.

Abstract

The experiments conducted by various institutions accumulated the rich experiences of information technology utilization in agriculture technology dissemination. This study was conducted during year 2012-13 in the Jabalpur district of M.P. The totals of 117 respondents were selected randomly for the study. Results showed that Chi-square analysis of the selected five independent variables with dependent variable (i.e. technical knowledge) indicated that, the variables age, education, annual income, information seeking behaviour, appropriateness of message were positively significant at 0.05 per cent level of significance. The profile analysis clearly indicated that majority of the KMS beneficiaries belonged to the young age group (57.26%) and were having education upto high school (47.00%). Their main occupation was farming (70.08%), possessed medium size of land holding (50.42%). Higher percentage of Kisan Mobile Sandesh beneficiaries (52.99%) had above 5 members in the family and belonged to medium annual income (46.16.%) category. They had high perception (44.44%) level and were medium cosmopolite in nature (47.86%). Majority of them had higher economic motivation (42.74%), higher information seeking behaviour (41.02%) and perceived message as appropriate (44.44%). This research paper showed the significant relationship between all independent and one of dependent variable i.e. knowledge in Agricultural information dissemination.

Abstract

The watershed development programme (WDP) initially envisaged as a measure for poverty alleviation and improved livelihoods has gained even greater importance. This study was conducted during year 2014-15 in the Jabalpur district of M.P. The totals of 200 respondents were selected randomly for the study. Results showed that chi-square analysis of the selected four independent variables with dependent variable (i.e., income) indicated that, the variable extension participation, mass media exposure, contact with developmental agency, and cosmopliteness were positively significant at 0.05 per cent level of significance. The communicational profile analysis clearly indicated that majority of the beneficiaries had low extension participation, medium level of mass media exposure, low contact with development agencies and medium level of cosmopolitness.

Abstract

Human physiology and pathophysiology of diseases have been proved to show rhythmic variation in response to temporal factors. This behavior is intertwined in field of clinical physiology in form of chronomedicine and chronotherapy for the better outcomes of treatment. Ayurveda scholars have also described rhythmic variation in biological entities like Dosha, Agni, Bala, presentation of diseases in relation to diurnal, meal intake and seasonal factors. They have well documented different domain of drug i.e. collection of drug, preparation of medicine, intervention of therapeutic procedures and administration of medicine in accordance to variation in biological entities and time. This article is aimed to summarize all these documented observations of Ayurveda regarding chronomedicine and chronotherapy and discuss in view of contemporary sciences, so that it can be utilized by the researchers of this field to generate evidence based data and may be applied by the physician for the better prognosis and management of the disease.

Abstract

Physiology of sweating and thermoregulation was well conceived by Ancient Ayurveda scholars. The detailed description of Svedavaha Srotas (channels carrying sweat), Sveda (sweat) as Mala (waste), its mechanism of formation on exposure to heat, therapeutic application of heat for inducing sweating under the concept of Svedan Karma (sudation) for purification and balancing the Dosha for management of disorders reflects the deep understanding of Ayurveda scholars about the physiology of sweating and temperature regulation. Keeping these facts in mind a detailed review has been done as an attempt to understand the physiology of sweating and temperature regulation mechanism described in Ayurveda in view of contemporary sciences and recent researches.

Keywords

Dosha, Mala, Swedan (sudation), Temperature Regulation.
