The learning style is the learner's preferred way of perceiving and responding to the information in a specific learning situation the concept ofleaming style travel with the learning theories. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between intelligence, locale and gender with different learning styles separately. The sample of the study was 100 students of class 10th studying in different government schools of urban and rural areas in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. A Verbal Intelligence test developed by Ojha and Chowdhury (1970) was used to measure the intelligence of the students and the Indian adaptation of Inventory of Learning Process (ILP) developed by Schmeck, Ribich and Ramanaiah (1977) was used to measure the different learning styles. The data were analyzed using product moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. Positive correlation was found between different learning styles and intelligence. Multiple regression analysis revealed that there is a significant contribution of intelligence to Methodical Study (MS), Fact Retention (FR) and Elaborative Processing (EP) learning styles. The role of gender and locale was not found significant with any of the learning styles.Keywords

India has one of the highest incidences of oral cancer. OC ranks number one among men and number three among women in India (Hamada et al, 1991). The use of tobacco and alcohol are established etiological factor in the development of OC. Tobacco is generally consumed in smoking and smokeless forms.
The present paper aims to study the epidemiological and socio-demographic profile of OC patients reported in Indira Gandhi Regional Cancer Center (IGRCC), JNM Medical College Hospital, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) during 2008-2010.
The data related to socio-demographic profile have been collected from IGRCC, Raipur (C.G.) on 142 clinically diagnosed oral cancer patients with individual informed written consent.
The analysis revealed that more non-tribal individual (60.56%) with OC reported in the hospital than the tribals (39.44 %). Tribal patients (51.79%) reported at hospital in very advanced stage: TNM stage III for their treatment whereas non-tribal patients (31.40%) reported earlier at TNM stage II for their treatment. Alveolus was the common site of OC followed by buccal mucosa in both groups. Consumption of tobacco was higher among the tribal than the non-tribal patients as reflected by PY (Pack Year) and CY (Chewing Year) values, which have been found higher (heavy smoker-62.72%&heavy chewer-65.38%) in tribal patients. More tribal patients (25%) belong to lower socio-economic group than the non-tribal (20.93%).
The findings reveal that community and cultural based health education intervention should be imparted to prevent them from the hazards of tobacco and alcohol.

Introduction: Anthropological principles, in the study of the family certain paradigms provide the base. Among such paradigms, one that plays a key role is the number of members in that family. Baiga is one of the five identified primitive tribes of Chhattisgarh. They are mostly inhabited in Kabirdham and Bilaspur districts of Chhattisgarh. Baigas could consider themselves a Narotrias, Barotrias, Binjhwars, or Bhumias-all endogamous Baiga group names- Bhumia had other meanings. Baiga considered themselves Bhumia or "lords of the soil. Objectives: Objectives of the present study were to explore the type of families on the various theoretical bases and to know how the families structure of the Baiga help their "primitive" aspects of life.
Methodology: The universe of our sample is 400 married Baiga males belonging to age 18-49 year from Bodla and Pandariya tehsils of Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh, India. In the present study multi-stage and stratified random sampling method were followed. Data were collected through structured interview schedule and focused group discussions. The results were analyzed using the 16.0 SPSS package.
Results: As per the findings the 400 respondents' families, out of them the majority (90.2%) of families pertain to nuclear type. In a Baiga family the mean number of family members comes to 5.23 ± 1.955. The mean number of male members was 2.64 ± 1.360, whereas, the mean number of female members was 2.61±1.293. Between the two the estimated sex ratio was 988.66/1000. In Baiga, two main residential patterns are prominently noticed. Out of the two, the Neolocal residential pattern was the greater number (53.8%) whereas the second, patrilocal residential pattern was 43.8% - a lesser number.
Conclusion: The result makes the point clear that from structural perspective the Baiga families are nuclear families even to this new millennium, which characterize 'primitiveness' as one of their main features, as post marriage neolocal residence pattern is found. On the basis of number of family members, the Baigas' families were found moderate size. The observation confirms that the sex ratio in Baiga family is good.

To sum up the net findings, even in today's age of modern life of progress and advancement, Baiga tribal people are forced to live in the ramshackle of makeshift dwellings. During fieldwork it was observed that the water that came out from hand pumps were red or saffron in colour which was not fit for drinking. So using such water to alley one's thirst invited all kinds of diseases. Though to provide them with moderate and modest standard of accommodation, the government launched the housing project under the aegis of "Indira Awas Yojana" and make provision of dolling out financial help to them. Moreover, more cohesive and constructive steps should be taken that the Baiga's drinking water -bringing should not continue to remain a daily ordeal.
At least two steps ought to be taken with immediate effect for resolving the problems, so as to ameliorate the dwelling status, and to provide the safe drinking water facility to the Baiga community and the vast concourse similar tribal population: first, the paramount necessity is, as regards to tribal housing, the fund allocated for "Indira Awas Yojana", should be made double with immediate effect, and its repayment might be made through the "Adhar Card", which should be directly in the name of the Baiga couples both husband and wife inclusive. Secondly, in tribal villages, in the vicinity, at the distance of every 100 meters hand pumps should be installed, not as a bare formality, but with wihiggish caution, see to it that such hand pumps supply drinkable water, constantly. These should be monitored by trained and efficient plumbers/pump men/engineers. The latter should supervise individually and as a team. And at least once in a month, taking in confidence the members of the Baiga and other tribal families, ensure the supply of drinkable water with no abatement.

Reproductive health is to be seen in the perspective of the process of structural- functional approaches, and accordingly, solutions are to be evolved, so that, Baiga community's reproductive health status and the Baiga males' involvement in it, could be consolidated. At the same time, their economic, mental, and physical dimensions of life are strengthened and developed. As human reproductive health constitutes a holistic structural- functional perspective, to improve it also is mandatorily needed a need-based holistic intervention, so that first the Baiga community's structural position is strengthened. Thereafter, the strengthened structural position might find impetus for functions so that for all the time the holistic progression of the society is multiplied. In this regard, to meet from my doctoral research work among the Baiga tribe of Chhattisgarh, India, the three major structural needs, in Baiga community, three different kinds of interventional developmental activities have to be carried out on the following model, which, to enumerate ; 1.Infrastructural interventions 2.Structural intervention and 3.Super structural interventions.Keywords

The aim of the present piece of research work is to examine the predicting effects of personality dimensions, viz., extraversion and neuroticism on career maturity. Employing the correlational design 100 male students of Oraon tribe studying in class 10th within the age range 14-16 years were drawn randomly from different schools of Surguja District of the state of Chhattisgarh to serve as Ss. For assessing the criterion variable, i.e., career maturity, Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) by Gupta (1989) and for assessing the predicting variable viz., personality dimensions Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory by Helode (1985) were used. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine for predicting effects of personality dimensions. Extraversion and Neuroticism have emerged as significant predictors of career maturity. The theoretical implications have been discussed.Keywords

Central India is mainly constituted by two states, namely; Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh that are homeland of several caste and tribal groups speaking diverse language belongs to Indo-European, Dravidian and Austro-Asiatic thus makes it an important place for testing several language-gene interaction models. Various archaeological evidences indicated that the Narmada region has played a significant role in initial peopling of the Asian subcontinent. There is a necessity to fill the big lacuna by inclusion of this region to reveal a continuous picture of the origin and genetic affinity of the Indian population. It is hypothesized that Austro-Asiatic speaking tribes are autochthonous to India. The present study was conducted to examine the haplotype variations at Dopamine Receptor Gene (DRD2) in the Austro-Asiatic Speaking Tribal Groups of Central India. Haplotypes provide information on evolutionary histories, beyond what can be learned from individual marker. A total of 327 unrelated samples belonging to Birhor, Gadaba, Kol, Hill korwa, Saora and Baiga were analyzed for three selected TaqI sites of DRD2 gene using Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All the loci were found to be polymorphic among the studied populations. The frequency of ancestral allele B2 is less than 50% in all six populations (41.4-49.2%) while D2 allele exhibit frequency of 15.3-44.8%. A1 allele observed with a frequency ranging from 36.2-48.2%. The average heterozygosity ranged from 0.417 in Baiga to 0.501 in Kol. The ancestral haplotype (B2D2A1) in all six populations exhibit 0% frequency. LD values calculated for the three bi-allelic sites, TaqIB, TaqID, and TaqIA are low, i.e., below 0.8 with respect to all populations in each pair. Overall, allele frequency distribution patterns and high average heterozygosity values, suggest a genetic proximity among the studied populations. Low recurrence of genealogical alleles and nonattendance of familial haplotype in the examined populace bunches, demonstrating towards indigenous inception of Central Indian Austro-Asiatic talking tribes.Keywords

Several conceptions and misconceptions prevail in human society about sexual impotency. In different human societies in different human cultures, opinions and criteria regarding impotence vary. Such opinions and criteria become perceptions in that particular society. Such perceptions were also traced in the Baiga community, which are presented in this paper. Objectives of the study are to explore notions about impotence and barren among the Baiga males of Chhattisgarh, India. The universe of our sample is 400 married Baiga males belonging to age 18-49 years. The Baiga tribe is one of seven Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) of Chhattisgarh state of India. In the present study multi-stage random sampling method were followed. Structured interview schedules, focused group discussions and non-participant observation were used for collection and cross validation of data. According to the findings 33.5% respondents regard those males impotent who in the course of his youthful age could not make his wife pregnant. 30% respondents have the conviction that witchcraft and sorcery are the main causes of suffering from impotency. Perception regarding impotence among the Baiga males is found to be very placid and positive influenced by their age with value of χ2 = 1.153 and value of p is 0.020 at 5% level of significance. More than of half of them (50.8%) agreed that if any woman was unable to conceive, she was castigated as “barren”. Perception about barrenness among the Baiga males is found to be moderate and positively depended on their educational status, with associated value of χ2 = 30.32 and value of p is 0.016 at 5% level of significance. From the observation of multi-nomial logistic regression test, the finding was: in order to, all the above causes were found responsible for the barrenness of any women, which were relative to result as deities, breach of taboos and magic and witchcraft held responsible for barrenness at value of β for predictor's age at marriage of the respondents, i.e., < 18 years had been found to be -1.069 with associated value of p is 0.048 at 5% level of significance. From the extant study one thing that came to light was that those men who are younger in age hold such forces less responsible than their elderly counterparts who happen to be more credulous, even superstitions. The fact also emerged through the study that with the rise in educational status and income, the general attitude of the male Baiga towards barrenness of women have become realistic and scientific.Keywords

Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF), being an endogenous pyrogen, is able to induce fever, apoptotic cell death, cachexia, inflammation and to inhibit tumourigenesis. TNF has been shown to mediate carcinogenesis through induction of proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of tumour cells. Polymorphisms within TNF genes can result in pathogenesis and promoting malignant progression of cervix cancer. In the present hospital based case-control study, 230 cervix cancer patients (cases) and 230 controls were studied to determine the association of TNF-308 gene polymorphism with cervical cancer. TNF-308 null genotype showed significance distribution among cases and control (χ2=18.759, df =2, p = 0.00008). Women carrying the heterozygous A allele had a two-fold increased risk of developing cervix cancer (OR=1.775; 95% CI [1.178-2.674]) while the risk of cervix cancer raises to three-fold when A allele is preset in homozygous condition (OR=3.186; 95% CI [1.775-5.719]). These findings indicate that TNF-308 polymorphisms play crucial role in the development of cervix cancer.Keywords
