The paper describes the results of an investigation undertaken in November, 1967 and June, 1968, in connection with the All-India Eucalyptus Study Tour and Symposium, in the States of Haryana and Punjab respectively to study the soil conditions supporting good as well as poor growth of Eucalyptus hybrid (Mysore gum) plantations where water was applied in the initial stages. The plantations ranged from one to six years of age (1962-1967) as listed in Table 1. This species fails to grow on the saline alkali soils which have pH>10 and soluble salt content >0.7% and possess compact indurated sub-soil due to impervious pan, mostly kankar pan. Such sites should not be planted with this species unless soil conditions are reclaimed to the desired level and/or suitable planting method and soil working technique including perforation of impervious pan are adopted to overcome the adverse factors. Prolonged water-logging is also highly detrimental. The growth is arrested on the soils which are non-saline but have pH>9 and also on the scils which have pH<8.5 but with a salt content exceeding 1.0%. The species tolerates moderately calcareous soils and is able to grow satisfactorily on the soils having pH < 9 and a soluble, salt content up to 0.3%. but still better growth is attained on a soil having pH < 8.5 and soluble salt content <0.2%. The growth is also quite good on a light-textured alluvial soil which has adequate moisture supply as a result of high water table in the vicinity of a river. Provision of water in the initial stages of establishment is beneficial for the growth of this species under the local conditions. Systematic experiments are however required to be conducted to determine the most suitable watering or irrigation regime, soil-working and planting techniques and fertilizer application.

The results of a soil investigation conducted in some bamboo forests of Assam in December 1963 have been reported in this paper. The soils of the different bamboo species show wide variations in many physical and chemical characteristics and assume greater significance on account of the shallow ischolar_main system of the species. The soils under Bambusa tulda and Dendrocalamus hamiltonii occurring in the semi-evergreen forests contain higher amounts of clay and silt than those under Melocanna bambusoides, Teinostachyum dullooa and Oxytenananthera nigrociliata occurring in the Cachar evergreen forests. The soil under B.tulda possesses the highest clay fraction, organic matter, nitrogen, calcium, potassium and phosphorus, whereas the soil under T.dullooa and O.nigrociliata exhibits the highest amount of sand and lowest reserve of magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. The data indicate that the latter species are capable of growing satisfactorily even on coarse-textured soils provided sufficient moisture is available. In view of immense potentiality for industrial utilisation and extensive area occupied by several bamboo species in Assam, the need for more systematic intensified studies to know precisely the relationship between soils and bamboos has been suggested.- Soil Suitability for Eucalyptus Hybrid (Syn. E. Tereticornis or Mysore Gum) Plantations in Tarai and Bhabar Region of Uttar Pradesh

The result of a soil investigation undertaken in 1967-68 in Tarai and Bhabar and Bijnor Plantation Divisions to evaluate the soil conditions supporting good and inferior growth of Eucalyptus hybrid (Syn. E. tereticornis or Mysore gum) of Chickbalapur origin bave been reported. The morphological characteristics of soil profile particularly its texture, stoniness and drainage together with the associated effect on moisture regime and aeration are of great importance in influencing the growth of this species. A bhabar soil with coarse texture and excessive bouldery sub-soil having deficient moisture supply is not favourable for good growth, but the situation is improved where a bhabar soil has silty loam texture and is associated with somewhat higher water table. On the other hand, a tarai soil without stones but having adequate moisture availability and satisfactory drainage provides a more congenial environment. This species however, appears to exhibit inferior growth on a tarai soil which has impeded sub-soil drainage. Calcareous soil with slight alkaline reaction and presence of lime nodules in a diffused form does not appear to be harmful under the local conditions. The nutrient supply in the soil is moderate and is not critical in this area. In view of varied soil conditions met with in the region, the importance of a proper selection of sites for raising successful Eucalyptus hybrid plantations capable of adequate economic returns has been emphasized, utilising remaining sites for other species and purposes including retention of unplanted belts of unsuitable areas for preservation of indigenous flora and fauna as an additional measure towards nature conservation.- Efficacy of Visual Process Training in the Patients with Schizophrenia:A Pre and Post Intervention Study

Problem behaviours of children win, intellectual disabilities is one of the stressor factors of their parents, as reported by them and it is observed that four to five times more in intellectual disabilities as compared to intellectually normal children. Therefore it is important for parent and professional to know what are the variables involved in the manifestation of problem behaviours. The socioeconomic status of their parents was one of the important factors in the manifestation of problem behaviour. This study was undertaken to find out prevalence in the perspective of gender, parental educational level and economic status of the different problem behaviours among children with intellectual disabilities. The present study sample consisted of 45 children with intellectual disabilities, registered in National Institute for the Mentally Handicapped, General OPD Services (Andhra Pradesh). Behavioural Assessment Scales for Indian Children with Mental Retardation (BASIC-MR) Part-B questionnaire was used to identify problem behaviours. Findings suggested that parent's education affects the child's problem behaviour. Both male and female children showed hyperactive behaviour (53% and 55% respectively). In this study we found that hyperactive behaviour was more prevalent (38%) among professionally educated parents in comparison to less educated parents (22%). Violent and destructive behaviour was (30%) more observed among children of those parents involved in professional works. Temper tantrums and violent behaviour (50% and 32% respectively) were more common among those parents who belong to the high income group family. Temper tantrum behaviour was significantly different (4.36 at 0.05 levels) in respect to the seventy level of children with intellectual disability. Other behavioural domains were not found significantKeywords

The Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is the specific and nonspecific inflammatory disease of large bowel1, confined to mucosa. The major symptoms of UC are diarrhea, rectal bleeding, Tenesmus, passage of mucus and crampy abdominal pain.2 As the civilization and materialization is increasing the incidence of ulcerative colitis is encountered more frequently in clinics, in modern medicine so many drugs are mentioned for treatment of ulcerative colitis like; Sulfasalazine having both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.3 Moreover these contemporary drugs have gigantic list of possible side effects. But, Ayurvedic treatment is a fine conservative and remedial method for the treatment of UC and not has any side effects. So there is a need to come across some other management which has less side effect as well as cost effective also. The purpose of our study was to analyse the effect of Ksheer Basti on Ulcerative Colitis, based on Samshodhan Karma, in which 40 years old patient, suffering from Ulcerative Colitis, from last 3 years, was given a treatment of Ksheer Basti, for 2 weeks and a significant improvement was found in diarrhoea, mucus discharge, bleeding and abdominal pain.

The cognitive profile in schizophrenia is characterized by deficits across several domains, notably attention, memory and executive functions. The aspects of executive functions that are compromised in schizophrenia are the capacities for volitional activity, forward planning and self regulation. Therefore, cognitive enhancement interventions programs have been achieving importance and interest because they may provide direct benefits to patients with executive dysfunctions (Wykes et al., 2011). To see the effect of executive function rehabilitaton training on patients with schizophrenia. By using purposive sampling technique, 10 patients of schizophrenia were chosen according to ICD 10 DCR criteria and were divided randomly into two groups, experimental group and control group. Executive functioning was assessed among all the participants of experimental group as well as control group by using WCST. After baseline assessment, executive function rehabilitation training was provided to the experimental group using executive function module of Brainwave R series and after the training both the groups were assessed by using WCST. The patients with schizophrenia demonstrated improvement in various measures of WCST namely perseverative errors, percent perseverative errors, non perseverative errors, percent non perseverative errors, conceptual level responses, percent conceptual level responses and number of categories completed after they underwent executive function rehabilitation training.Keywords

Mucoadhesion is commonly defined as the adhesion between two materials, at least one of which is a mucosal surface. Over the past few decades, mucosal drug delivery has received a great deal of attention. Mucoadhesive dosage forms may be designed to enable prolonged retention at the site of application, providing a controlled rate of drug release for the improved therapeutic outcome. Application of dosage forms to mucosal surfaces may be of benefit to drug molecules not amenable to the oral route, such as those that undergo acid degradation or extensive first-pass metabolism. The mucoadhesive ability of a dosage form is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the nature of the mucosal tissue and the physicochemical properties of the polymeric formulation. The present study is performed for the motivation of the graduates towards publication and research. Hence, we have encouraged the graduates to prepare an informative article on the present subject.Keywords

Background: To assess efficacy of mind mapping technique in lecture classes versus traditional didactic lectures on immediate and long-term memory.
Materials & Method: 150 First MBBS students, randomized into two groups (75 each), by simple random technique (odd roll number-group 1, even roll number-group 2). Study group (Mind mapping group) Control Group (didactic lecture /non mind mapping group).Batches reversed for another topic to address ethical issues.MCQ test was taken after class for short term memory, after a month for long term memory.
Results: Descriptive and inferential statistics (paired t test and independent t test) was used to compare the data. P value of Mind Mapping group when compared to Non Mind Mapping group in terms of both short term and long term memory was highly significant (p< 0.0001) for both topic 1 and 2. P value was not statistically significant when short term and long term memory of mind mapping group was compared. But highly significant p value (p< 0.0001) was observed when short term and long term memory of Non Mind Mapping group was compared.
Conclusion: The performance of Mind Map Group is better than the Non Mind Map Group both in terms of short term and long term memory.
Mind mapping used as a pedagogical tool can improve the academic scores of students.

The scientific enterprise in India has grown dramatically in the past few decades, with research emerging as a viable and important career option for students of science. The country thus has a large population of young scientists in the early stages of establishing their independent research careers. While this demographic is arguably the most important group that will determine the future of scientific research in India, their status and concerns are poorly understood. The Indian National Young Academy of Sciences conducted a national survey to better understand and present the challenges faced by them. Through a structured questionnaire, we sought the views of researchers below 45 years of age. Here, we summarize the responses from 854 participants across multiple early career stages. We highlight key challenges faced by these scientists in establishing an independent research career, and suggest steps to address them.Keywords
