Patient with compressive cervical myelopathy sometimes present with localized girdle sensation in the mid trunk (called false localizing sign). This symptom often confuses physicians, but the clinical features and mechanism are still unclear. We present a male patient presented with localized girdle sensation in the middle trunk following fall. Later on diagnosis of compressive cervical myelopathy was made after MRI cervical spine.Keywords

Wheat is a major cereal crop in many parts of the world and it is commonly known as king of cereals. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting natural products found at low levels in pollen, seeds, and young vegetative tissues throughout the plant kingdom. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different combinations of Silicon (Si) and 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) on wheat varieties grown under 100 mM salt stress. The result showed that shoot length of plant increased with the application of EBL and Silicon and it was increased the maximum in salt tolerant varieties in comparison to non-tolerant. Whilst, reduction was observed in ischolar_main length along with the increasing concentration of EBL. The effect of different combinations of silicon and 24-epibrassinolidealso increased the germination percentage (%) in tolerant and non-tolerant wheat varieties.

Digital technologies have created remarkable effects on communication, promotion, branding and importantly consumer behaviour. Consumers in the marketplace are getting accustomed to myriad digital tools, technologies and channels. Marketers irrespective of size, type and industry are increasing their digital spend as this medium offers more return on investment compared to traditional marketing. In India, digital stats are increasing over the years in terms of internet access, possession of digital devices, subscription of social networking sites and increased time devoted to various digital usages. Marketers are adapting fast to digital format because it is interactive, personalized, relevant, informative and cost effective. FMCG, BFSI and Automobiles have been consistently ranked as the top digital spenders of the country for last five years. Consumers are attracted towards the digital medium because it is attractive, easy to use, engaging and offers customers the relevant content by recognizing them as an individual having unique needs rather than being a faceless member of the masses. The present study is an attempt to understand the attitudinal beliefs of digital marketing communication in Indian car market. The study is based on primary and secondary data. Secondary data were reviewed extensively to understand the characteristics of digital marketing. Primary data are collected from 801 respondents using area wise proportionate sampling from Delhi. Reliability of the scale was checked with the help of Cronbach's Alpha. One sample Wilocoxon Signed Rank Test was applied as test of significance.Keywords

Mushroom cultivation is one of the most economical ways of upgrading income of the farmers other than field crops, which ultimately increase human resource directly or indirectly. Mushroom cultivation as a self-employment venture is now being promoted by various Government Department, State Agricultural Universities, and National Research Centre of Mushroom (NRCM) and NGOs. But, in this venture various risk are also involved which must be considered. This paper observes the major constraints faced by mushroom growers during various stages of mushroom cultivation such as awareness regarding procurement of raw material, lack of physical facilities like cold storage and infrastructure, financial constraints like difficulty in borrowing loans and lack of proper marketing channels etc.Keywords
