Service encounters are critical in all service industries; India's dynamic aviation market is of no exception. There is fierce competition among airlines and 'customer satisfaction' is the only mantra to survive in this competitive market. The present study aims to identify, classify and analyze the type of service failures encountered by airline passengers during travel in domestic sectors of India with the help of critical incident technique. Hundred critical incidents were collected from 100 respondents out of which 95 are dissatisfied service encounters. From these 95 incidents, twenty-six service failures were derived which again classified into groups and category of type of incident outcome given by Bitner et al, 1990. The study focuses only on negative critical incidents in the relations between the airline companies and passengers.Keywords

The effect of temperature on the self-assembled behavior of polymers P103 and P84, and their subsequent use as soft templates for the synthesis of gold (Au) nanoparticles (NP) have been studied with the help of SEM, TEM, and UV-vis spectral measurements. Both the triblock copolymers (TBP) exist in the form of liquid crystalline thread like assemblies. P103 being more hydrophobic shows a structural transition from liquid crystal (LC) threads to sheets at 50°C and bear uniformly distributed Au NP, the size of which increases with the increase in temperature. P84 being more hydrophilic shows only LC threads and no sheets, but the LC threads bearing running groove at 50°C, act as wonderful nucleation sites for the growth of large cubic Au NP. The presence of surface cavities constituted by polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polypropylene oxide (PPO) blocks on LC phase of both TBPs are considered to be the nucleation sites for Au NP. The greater hydrophobicity of P103 in comparison to P84 favors the uniform distribution of NP throughout the LC phase while an increase in the temperature facilitates this process.Keywords

The mixed micellar properties of a sugar surfactant dodecyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (β-C12G) with a series of cationic gemini surfactants in aqueous solution have been investigated at different temperatures, i.e., 288, 298, 308, and 318 K. The steady state fluorescence measurements have been carried out to calculate critical micelle concentrations (cmc) for the various binary combinations of β-C12G+12-0-12/12-2-12/12-6-12. The composition of the mixed micelles and the interaction parameter (β) were evaluated from the cmc data for these mixtures. The binding constant (Ksv) of the mixed systems were determined from the ratio of intensity of peaks (Io/I) of the pyrene fluorescence emission spectrum. It has been concluded that there is a difference in mixed micellar behavior of b-C12G with 12-0-12, 12-2-12, and 12-6-12. This difference is due to the dimeric nature and increase in the number of methylene groups of the spacer.Keywords

Altruistic acts can improve one's quality of life in several ways, and can actually help in relieving stress. Studies showed that altruism is good for emotional well-being, and can enhance peace of mind. In the present study a correlational design was used to determine the role of altruistic behavior in determining Stress among Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. The sample of the study consisted of 32 Patients (male and female); with the age range of 20-60 years. The sample was taken from different hospitals of Agra city. Altruistic behavior was measured by Life Style Scale by Das and Chaudhary. Stress was measured by ICMR Psychosocial Stressor Questionnaire by Srivastav. Coefficient of correlation between Altruistic behavior and Stress indicated a significant negative relationship (r= -0.557). Further, Regression Analysis indicated that Altruistic behavior has high contribution (b= -2.661) in the determination of stress. So, it can be concluded that as the altruistic behavior increases stress level of patients' decreases. If one wants to gain a more positive perspective towards life events that reduces stress then they are advised to start helping others.Keywords

It was hypothesized that there is no significant relation between the Myers Briggs psychological types and stress among university students. Hence, correlation design was made to see the relationship of Myers Briggs psychological types: Extrovert-introvert, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, judging-perceiving and stress on 120 university students in the age range of 20-26 years. The sample consisted of randomly selected 60 male and 60 female university students of arts, science, commerce and education faculties. Out of the sample of 120, 80 were under graduate or graduate and 40 were post graduates. Psychological types were measured by Myers Briggs Type Indicator Scale by Myers and Briggs. Stress was measured by ICMR Psychosocial Stressor Questionnaire by Srivastav. Coefficient of correlation for psychological types (extrovert-introvert, sensing-intuition, thinkingfeeling, and judging-perceiving) and stress scores indicated no significant relationship. Multiple regression analysis shows that highest contribution was of thinking psychological type (b value is 1.053) in the determination of stress and second highest contribution was of judging psychological type (b value is −0.925) in the determination of stress. Introvert and intuition psychological type has negligible contribution in the determination of stress.Keywords

Globalization has a wide ranging potential to influence all sectors of development. Besides its impact on the pace and pattern of economic development, it has also casts its shadow on the system of education. A global education is one that provides knowledge and understanding of culture, language, geography and global perspectives to understand the world through the eyes of others and teaches them how their actions can affect, and be affected by people throughout the world. With over 200 of the 'Fortune 500' companies recruiting from campuses regularly, the government now plans to establish India as a brand in the higher education sector and grab the attention of global education community "Under these circumstances, India offers a friendly environment, cultural diversity and best value for money option to students from SARRC, Middle East and South East Asia According to statistics while India has a potential to afford about 50,000 foreign students in next couple of years, presently only about 10,000 are studying in India, Officials say while students from Nepal, Bhutan and Middle East have been regular feature in Indian Universities, efforts are to raise profile of Indian education system in countries like China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mauritius, Thailand, Ethiopia, Kenya and other African countries. India is planning to increase the number of target countries from last year's eight to 24 this year Therefore this paper will highlight the Marketing strategies adopted by India and Indian Institutes in building the new learning environment that enables all students, both domestic and international, to understand the world through the eyes of others and teaches them how their actions can affect, and be affected by people throughout the world. Thus in a bid to tap the country s potential as a global education destination.Keywords

Since airline industry is a prime service industry and interaction of service providers and service seekers is dominant which increases the chances of service failures in each step of service delivery process. Service failures are unpreventable in the core service delivery system and consumer complaints are like keys to identify the failures in the services of an organization. Behavioural intentions of complainants can be voice, private and third party (Singh, 1988). The present study aims to examine the airline passenger's complaint behaviour intentions. This study also examines the effect of demographic variables on consumer complaint intentions. The results of descriptive statistics and t-test shows that complainants are dominantly engaged in voice actions and there is no significant difference between the voice, private and third party intentions of complainants and non-complainants.Keywords

The present paper extends the analysis of Gupta et al. (2001, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 264, 398) of Veronis and Stern type’s thermohaline convection problems for the case of temperature-dependent viscosity. The stability of the oscillatory motions for both types of problems with variable viscosity is discussed in this paper and the upper bounds for the growth rates for neutral or unstable oscillatory perturbations are also prescribed. The obtained results are uniformly valid for all combination of dynamically free and rigid boundaries and are free from a curious condition on the non-negativity of the second derivative of viscosity parameter. Further, various results for an initially top-heavy as well as an initially bottom heavy configurations follow as consequence.Keywords

Objectives: Due to advancements in storage technology, every moderate to large sized organization is keeping huge amount of multi facet data which is growing very fast. To deal with such enormous data, we need an efficient data analysis technique like classification and clustering. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Processing high dimensional data sets in the presence of noise and outliers can degrade the performance of any kind of data analysis task. The situation can even worse; if we are going for unsupervised classification (i.e. clustering).In this paper, we proposed a new method for incremental density based clustering for high dimensional data set with reasonable speed up. The proposed method fused with noise removal and outlier labeling technique is inspired from famous box plot method. Findings: The performance analysis of fusion is done on five high dimensional data sets taken from University California Irvine (UCI) repository along four cluster evaluation metrics (F-Measure, Entropy, Purity and Speed Up).The produced clustering results confirm the effectiveness of proposed fusion. Application/Improvements: The proposed technique can be refined by hybridizing it with some metaheuristic technique for stock exchange application.Keywords

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the effects of temperature dependent viscosity on the stability of Dufour-Soret driven double-diffusive convection in nonreactive binary fluids, for general boundary conditions. Some analytical results concerning the stability of oscillatory motions and otherwise the complex growth rate of oscillatory motions are derived for this general problem. The expressions for Rayleigh numbers, when instability sets in as stationary modes, for each combination of rigid(slip free) and dynamically free(stress free) boundary conditions are derived numerically using Galerkin's method. The effects of linear and exponential temperature dependent viscosity on the onset stationary convection are studied and computed numerically. Various consequences of the obtained results for different convective problems have been worked out, as special cases.Keywords

In India, each year a large number of returns are e-filed and the administration is making efforts to bring all returns online gradually. The success of any e-governance initiatives, however, depends upon the importance that people place on particular project in terms of its usability. The present paper is an attempt to explore the attitude determinants of income-tax e-filing facility usage by the respondents of Punjab and union territory of Chandigarh. The Exploratory Factor Analysis results reveal that nine factors namely; safety of use, performance expectancy, habit, price and legal motivation, knowledge and social influence, effort expectancy, value consideration, facilitating conditions and comfort play a vital role in the use of e-filing facility. The policy-makers should provide adequate safety measures for building confidence of users. The Government should motivate respondents (through less technical legal procedures) for a continuous use of e-filing so that it helps them in saving time and other costs and becomes a habit for them.

Ayurvedic system of medicine constituting the use of plants, spirituality and the natural environment , has been the source of healing for the people since millennia. The precious indigenous knowledge, when supplemented and validated by the late scientific insights, can offer new holistic models of sustainable development that are economically,environmentally and socially acceptable. The ethno-medicinal information provides a base to new compound with active principles for phyto-chemical, pharmacognostical, pharmacological and clinical research. The study was planned to find out the ethno-medicinal importance of medicinal plants used by Gujjar tribes in the Shivalik Hills of Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Comparative analysis of Ethno-medicinal uses with Ayurvedic literature reveals that 69.16% of the tribal indications are supported by classical evidences.

The present study will try to find out the gender issues in access of children to secondary education, the performance and academic achievement motivation of girls and boys and the underlying self esteem. Gender equality in education is the basic human right. Human capital is defined as the stock of knowledge and personal abilities an individual possesses, and is perceived as a factor of production that can be improved through education, training and experience. A normative survey method was used. Stratified random sample of school going children were part of the study (N=104). 52 boys and 52 girls were part of the study. Rosenberg self esteem scale and Sharma academic achievement motivation test (AAMT) were used as measuring instruments. The data obtained was analysed statistically. The results indicated that gender plays a significant role in access of enrolment of girls in secondary education but there is no significant difference in human capital.Keywords

The blend specimens of [PVA(47)-PEO(47)-EC(6)-(LiCF3SO3)x] system are prepared for x = 3 to 11 wt % using solution cast technique. Portions of these blend films are exposed to swift heavy O7+ ion radiations. Changes taking place in thermal, electrical and relaxation properties at various LiCF3SO3 salt concentrations of all the blend specimens prior and after irradiation are thoroughly investigated. Relaxation time τ and Kohlrausch-William-Watt's exponent β which throw light on the relaxation dynamics of the blend samples are calculated using modulus formalism. For both, prior as well as after irradiation, all these properties are found to be optimum at 9 wt% of salt concentration. However, irradiation has led to a significant enhancement in these properties of the blends at all salt concentrations. Scaling of modulus is carried out to analyse time-composition superposition principle. Relaxation dynamics is observed to be independent of salt concentration in cases of both, pristine and irradiated blends.Keywords

Solid polymer Blend Electrolyte System based on Na-salt has been investigated. In the present work we have incorporated sodium triflate (according to weight percentage) in synthesized PEO/PAM polymer blend system. FTIR, DSC and SEM studies have been carried out to understand polymer blend interactions, crystalline properties and surface morphology. Electrical properties have been measured as a function of temperature and frequency by Impedance Spectroscopy. Conductivity of sample with 7.5 wt % salt concentration showed highest room temperature value of 9.907 × 10-8 S/cm. Salt concentrations >7.5 wt % showed decrease in conductivity. Increase in conductivity values upto 7.5 wt % salt is attributed to dissociation of salt and increase in amorphosity of the system.Keywords

Mushroom refers to the fruit body of a fungus. It is neither a plant nor animal. On a dry weight basis, it contains 55 per cent carbohydrates, 32 per cent proteins, 2 per cent fats and the rest minerals and vitamins. The greatest advantage of this venture is the fact that mushrooms have capacity to convert nutritionally valueless substances like wheat or rice straw into nutritional delicacies. These are also an excellent source of Vitamin B1, B2 and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, iron and copper. They are recommended as alternative source of proteins by FAO. Mushroom cultivation is very remunerative and plays an important role in increasing incomes, self employment and job opportunities in rural areas. The present study is an endaveour to study the various occupational, social and economic motivational factors responsible for adoption of improved mushroom production technology. The result of the study reveals that major occupational motivation factor was that there was no need to go outside home for work as sufficient employment opportunity is available at home. Being influenced by the village Sarpanch was the main social motivational factor for adoption of mushroom cultivation. The major constraints faced by the respondents were lack of pre cooling and storage facilities (89.75%) and inadequate knowledge about growing mushroom (82.76%).Keywords

Objectives: Deltamethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used worldwide in agriculture, household pest control, protection of foodstuff, and disease vector control. Although initially thought to be least toxic, a number of recent reports showed its toxic effects in mammalian and non‑mammalian animal species. The current study was performed to assess the dose‑dependent deltamethrin toxicity on testes, liver, and kidney of male Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty‑four rats were divided in four groups of 6 each. Group A served as normal control. Group B, C, and D were administered with different doses (2 or 3 or 6 mg/kg corresponding to 1/30th or 1/20th or 1/10th of LD50, respectively) of deltamethrin for 28 days. Results: Deltamethrin exposure caused a significant reduction in weight of reproductive organs, decrease in sperm count, sperm motility, serum testosterone (T), follicle stimulating hormones (FSH), and luteinizing hormones (LH) in testis. Glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were decreased in testis, liver and kidney of exposed rats. Deltamethrin exposure significantly increased sperm abnormalities in testis. Significant increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO) level was observed in testis, liver and kidney. Deltamethrin also caused histological alterations in testes, liver, and kidney. Conclusions: The results indicated that deltamethrin at a dose of 6 mg/kg exerts significant harmful effects on testes, liver and kidney as compare to 2 mg and 3 mg/kg. The study concluded that the system toxicity induced by deltamethrin was dose dependent.Keywords

Trichlorfon is an organophosphate insecticide used to control cockroaches, crickets, silverfish, bedbugs, fleas, cattle grubs, flies, ticks, leaf miners, and leaf-hoppers. It is also used to treat domestic animals for control of internal parasites. Trans-2-hydroxycinnamic acid (T2HCA) is a hydroxyl derivative of cinnamic acid. The present study highlights trichlorofon-induced toxicity and the protective role of T2HCA in the liver, kidney, and brain of female Wistar rats. The rats were given a single dose of trichlorofon (150 mg / kg bw) and pre- and post-treatment T2HCA (50 mg / kg bw) for seven days. Trichlorofon enhanced oxidative stress in liver, kidney, and brain of the rats, which was evident from the elevation of lipid peroxidation (LPO). The reduced level of non-enzymatic antioxidant glutathione (GSH) also indicated the presence of an oxidative insult. The activity of enzymatic antioxidants like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was significantly decreased on trichlorfon administration. Pre and post treatment with T2HCA decreased the LPO level and increased SOD, CAT, GST, GR, GPx, and GSH in the brain, liver, and kidney. Trichlorfon-induced reduction in acelylcholinestrase was also ameliorated with T2HCA treatment. In conclusion, trichlorfon-mediated induction in the reactive oxygen species and disturbance in the antioxidant enzymes’ defense system was moderately ameliorated by antioxidant trans-2-hydroxycinnamic acid.Keywords

Lindane, an organochlorine pesticide, is recognized as a major public health concern because of its potential toxic effects on human health. Its persistence in the body fluids may lead to continuous blood circulation, liver exposure and hepatotoxicity. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the possible protective role of curcumin on lindane-induced hepatotoxicity. Forty-two healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups of six rats each. Group I was given dimethylsulfoxide. A single dose of lindane (60 mg/kg bw) was given to group II. Lindane (30 mg/kg bw) was given daily to group III for 14 days. Treatment with curcumin (100 and 200 mg/kg) was given to groups IV and V before (pretreatment) and to groups VI and VII after (post-treatment) 14 days exposure of lindane. Oxidative stress parameters and antioxidative enzymes were investigated in the liver of exposed and treated rats. A significant increase in lipid peroxidation, and decrease in glutathione level, Superoxide dismutase catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and NADPH quinine reductase activities was observed in liver of rats exposed to lindane. Curcumin (Pre- and post-treatment) nearly normalized all these parameters. Histological alterations were also observed in the liver tissue after lindane exposure. Treatment with curcumin significantly prevented the lindane-induced histological alterations. In conclusion, curcumin has protective effect over lindane-induced oxidative damage in rat liver.Keywords

Injection administration is one of the greatest responsibilities of a nurse. It is an integral part of the nurse’s role, therefore the nurses must adapt the principles and techniques of medication administration to render quality nursing care. This study aimed to assess the injection administration practices among staff nurses working in selected hospital and analyzing the practices with current injection administration literature. A quantitative research approach with analytical research design was adopted. 100 staff nurses were selected through non probability convenient sampling technique. Data was collected using observational checklist. Out of 100 staff nurses observed for injection administration, 70 staff nurses administered intravenous injection and 30 staff nurses administered intramuscular injection. The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Study showed that majority of the staff nurses 28 (93.3%) were having good intramuscular injection administration practices and 36 (51.4%) staff nurses had good intravenous injection administration practices. Study also revealed that there is no significant association of intramuscular and intravenous injection administration practices with age, gender, educational qualification, area of work and work experience. Total 43 literatures were referred for analyzing the findings related to practices of intramuscular and intravenous injection administration.Keywords

The paper aims at analyzing the trend of compensation to the workers and employees in Indian manufacturing sector. The data for this study is collected from Annual Survey of Industries 2014- 15 published in 2017 by Central Statistical Office. The function distribution of income theory approach has been used as the basis to design this paper. The comparative analysis of pre-reform and post-reform data has been done using dummy variable regression to check the structural break in series due to 1991 reforms. The major finding of this paper is that the profits have increased more than the other factors of production. On the contrary, the compensation paid to employees and workers has gone down drastically.References

The end of shift handover is most important ritual at end of nursing shift. Patient handover between nurses at shift change has been an important process in clinical nursing practice, allowing nurses to exchange necessary patient information to ensure continuity of care and patient safety. Handover report increases client safety and satisfaction; creates trust between the nurse and client; reduces communication errors and promotes accountability, teamwork, and respect among staff. The aim of present study is to assess the practices related to end of shift handover among staff nurses working in selected hospitals of District Mohali, Punjab with a view to develop handover giving sheets. A quantitative research approach with descriptive research design was adopted. 100 staff nurses were selected through non probability convenient sampling technique for the study. Practices related to end of shift handover were assessed by observational checklist. Results showed that 33 staff nurses were having fair practices and majority of staff nurses i.e.67 were having good practices related to the end of shift handover. There was significant association of age, area of work and working experiences with practices related to the end of shift handover and no significant association of gender and educational qualification with practices related to the end of shift handover (p<0.05).Keywords

A descriptive study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on blood donation among the college going students of selected colleges of Ludhiana, Punjab. A quasi experimental study with single group pretest-posttest design was conducted on a total of 50 college going students. Structured Teaching Programme on blood donation was developed. Based on Structured Teaching Programme, a Self Structured Questionnaire was prepared to assess the pretest-posttest knowledge scores of study subjects regarding blood donation. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were used for data analysis. Findings of the study revealed that the mean posttest knowledge scores (23.78) of subjects regarding blood donation were significantly (p<0.01) higher than their pretest knowledge scores (12.64) after administration of Structured Knowledge Programme. In pre-test, maximum 28 (56%) of subjects has average knowledge scores followed by 19 (38%) which were having poor knowledge scores and 2 (4%) who had very poor knowledge scores. Only 1 (2%) had good knowledge score. None of the subject had very good knowledge score in pretest. After administration of Structured Teaching Programme, the level of post knowledge score of subjects increased as in post-test 24 (48%) of subjects students achieved very good knowledge scores followed by 20 (40%) who had good level of knowledge scores. Only 6 (12%) had average knowledge scores. None of the subjects had poor or very poor level of knowledge scores. There were no statistically significant (p>0.05) association between the posttest knowledge scores of the subjects on blood donation and their birth order in the family, habitat, type of family and monthly family income. Hence, administration o f Structured Teaching Programme on blood donation was very effective on college going students.Keywords

The present study aims to explore the relationship between entrepreneurial activities and income inequalities in India. The manufacturing sector has been selected for the study. The previous studies in the related areas have shown contradictory results and there is a lack of consensus about the relationship between the two. Thus, an attempt has been made to study the same in Indian perspective. The Indian government has taken many initiatives from time to time to encourage entrepreneurial activities in the country. It is considered as a tool to conquer the problem of employability and economic growth. Thus, the study assumes the presence of a two-way relationship between entrepreneurial activities and income inequalities in India.Keywords

In the light of Riemann open mapping theorem, if we map open unit disk U conformally onto a region then depending on the geometry of boundary of we can always extract a subclass of H[a, n] by subordinating various functionals of the function f ∈ H[a, n]. Depending upon the geometry of the range set attempts have been made to find some algebraic structure in such classes, for that Hankel determinant of coefficients of functions pertaining to these classes have been studied, bounds of various coefficients have been determined and also based on the subordination principle we have determined radius |z| < r ;z ∈ U for which f belongs to such a class. In this paper our focus would be on n−PS* defined as n − PS* = {f ∈ A : Re {zf'(z)/f(z)} > 0,|(zf'(z)/f(z))n - 1|<1}.Keywords

One of the most abundant metal in our environment is aluminium (Al). Occupational exposure of humans to Al takes place during its extractions, processing and fabrications of articles of daily use. Al in drinking water and as well as its use in packaging & storage of food is also a potential source of exposure. Acute exposure of higher concentration or chronic exposure of low concentration of Al leads to its aggregation in various parts of the body, resulting in system toxicity. Brain is highly susceptible to Al accumulation toxicity. In humans, exposure of Al is a risk factor for the starting of Alzheimer Disease. The adverse effect of Al exposure on nervous system results in memory loss, balance problems and impairment of coordination. High level of Al in brain increases lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress and reduces antioxidant enzymes level. It also causes aggregation of amyloid beta proteins and formation of Neurofibrillary Tangles (NFTs) of tau proteins which finally leads to death of neuronal cell and neurotoxicity. Metabolism and excretion of heavy metals including Al is very difficult and its leads to accumulation. The chelation therapy has been proposed where the organic molecules like EDTA, Chlorogenic acid and GSH binds with the heavy metals and facilitates for their excretion from body. However, non-specific binding of these chelators is another major safety concern. Medicinal plants and their phytochemicals with multiple mechanism of action have been proposed as a very good alternative for ameliorating heavy metal induced toxicity. In addition to mild chelating activities, the phytochemicals have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytokine modulatory and other specific actions for proving holistic neuro-protection on heavy metal exposure.Keywords

This study revisits the link between entrepreneurship and income inequalities in India over the period 1981- 2017 using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds Testing Approach of Cointegration and Error Correction Model (ECM). The study is based on the registered manufacturing sector with Gini coefficient being used as a proxy of income inequality and gross capital formation and profits earned being used as an indicator of entrepreneurship. It finds that capital formation has a positive impact on Gini coefficient in the shortrun; In the long-run, the impact is negative. It also reveals that an increase in Gini coefficient increases the profits in both short-run and longrun, the profits in turn decreases Gini coefficient in short-run. The study concludes that there exists a two-way association between entrepreneurship and income inequalities in India.References

Background of the study: Learning disabilities are not a single disorder, but include disabilities in any of the components that include: reading disabilities (dyslexia), writing disabilities (dysgraphia) and mathematical disabilities (dyscalculia). In India, the estimate prevalence of learning disabilities range from 9-39% and the incidence of dyslexia in primary school children has been reported 2-18%, dysgraphia 14% and dyscalculia 5.5%. Teachers play a vital role in identification and management of learning disabilities. Aim of the study: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children. Material and Methods: Non-experimental research approach and a descriptive research design were considered appropriate for the study to assess the knowledge of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children. The sample size of 40 primary school teachers was selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique from selected schools of District Gurdaspur, Punjab. Data was collected using self- structured questionnaire. Self- instructional module regarding learning disabilities was given to the primary school teachers. Results: The study results depict that the maximum of primary school teachers had average knowledge i.e. 80% followed by good i.e. 15% and below average i.e. 5%. The mean and SD of total score is 16.1 and 4.37. Educational status had significant association with the knowledge regarding learning of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children whereas all other variables (age, gender, religion, teaching experience, area of school and source of knowledge) don’t have any significant association with knowledge of primary school teachers regarding learning disabilities among children as statistically analysed by chi square at 0.05 level of significance. Conclusion: This study concluded that the majority of primary school teachers had average knowledge regarding learning disabilities among children. disabilities i.e. 80% followed by good i.e. 15% and below average i.e. 5%. The mean and SD of total score is 16.1 and 4.37Keywords

Background and Aim: Exposure to Aluminium (Al) has been reported to cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animals. Amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque formation, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and neuroinflammation have been indicated as the possible mechanism of Al-induced neurodegeneration. The present study aimed to understand the mechanism of aluminium chloride (AlCl3)-induced neurotoxicity in Wistar rats and to assess the neuroprotective effect of methanolic extract of Cassia tora leaves (MECT). Material and Methods: Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into nine groups. AlCl3 (100 mg/kg bw) and MECT (300 mg/kg bw) were given orally by gavage and memantine (MEM) was administered intraperitoneally (20 mg/kg bw) to rats, daily for 60 days. The spatial learning memory and recognition memory were evaluated using the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test. The levels of oxidative stress, neurotransmitter markers, pro-inflammatory markers, Aβ proteins plaques formation and tau protein hyperphosphorylation were evaluated. Histopathology of brain tissue was performed to assess the extent of tissue damage on AlCl3 exposure. Results: MECT significantly improved cognitive behaviours in AlCl3-exposed rats during the MWM test. Treatment with MECT resulted in a significant recovery of antioxidant enzyme function, the activity of neurotransmitter markers and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. MECT prevented the aggregation of Aβ proteins and tau protein phosphorylation. Also, it inhibited the loss of neuronal integrity in the cortex and hippocampus regions of the brain in AlCl3-exposed rats. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that a methanolic extract of Cassia tora leaves ameliorated AlCl3-induced neurodegeneration in Wistar rats.Keywords
