This article systematically reviews the literature pertaining to nutritional status and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) adherence of HIV/AIDS orphans. Studies related to HIV/AIDS orphans belonging to the age group of 0 to 15 yrs, who had lost either or both parents to HIV/AIDS and are cared by non-parents were selected for the purpose of the review. The review indicates that there is low nutritional status of HIV/AIDS orphans and they suffer from various co-morbid infections. They have good ART adherence rate and ART effectively increased their CD4 count and weight. Proper attention medical and health care, nutrition, school-based care, life skills training, sexual and reproductive health awareness, psychological counseling and support interventions are required for improving ART adherence and nutritional status of HIV/AIDS orphans.Keywords

The primary aim of this study was to observe the influence of cognitive style on the extent to which individuals get addicted to the internet. It also aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive style on the choice of discipline post school. For the said purpose, 115 university students (Mean age = 23.26 years) belonging to science, commerce and humanities disciplines were contacted. Cognitive styles and internet addiction were measured by the Rational-Experiential Inventory (Pacini & Epstein, 1999) and the Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1996) respectively. Correlational analyses yielded a positive but non-significant correlation between experientiality and internet addiction and a significant negative correlation between rationality and internet addiction. Subsequent one way analysis of variance suggested significant differences between internet addiction in science and humanities students. However, non-significant differences were found between the cognitive styles of science, commerce and humanities students. The present findings provide evidence for the efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy as the preferred line of treatment for internet addiction. Moreover, they illustrate the possible link between cognitive styles and academic choices which may be validated in subsequent studies.Keywords
