Today the whole world is concerned over biodiversity identification , conservation and its sustainable utilisation. The plant diversity of Gujarat specially angiospermic plant species exploration progress is discussed and updated. Total number of taxa which have been identified from Gujarat are 2205 which is 12.6 % of total taxa 17 ,500 identified from India. There is an urgent need to identify our natural wealth , study it and make the people aware to know their utilities and its repercussions if they extinct. The 51 plant species have already been recorded in different Red Data Books while 50 more species (mostly trees) are also facing serious degree of threats. The exploration is so much important otherwise many more unexplored species will disappear for ever without knowing their existence in nature.- An Unique Terrestrial Ecosystem of White Mangrove (Avicinnia officinalis Linn) in Kachch Desert of Gujarat State

In the present work, we bring out the palaeoenvironmental significance of the growth-form morphology of coralline algae present in the Ninniyur Formation (Palaeocene) of the Cauvery Basin, South India. Our observations indicate presence of four types of coralline algal growth forms in the studied sections of the Ninniyur Formation: laminar, branching, columnar and massive and fragmented. They seem to have been controlled by depositional environments, each characterising a distinctive set of conditions pertaining to water-energy and depth. It appears that the carbonate environment, in which the Ninniyur Formation was deposited, was well differentiated into subenvironments due to changing environmental constraints (depth of deposition and hydraulic energy). The biota responded to these factors through habitat partitioning which possibly hastened the process of evolution of varied types of coralline algal associations and growth morphology leading to distinctive biofacies characters.Keywords

The Idukki earthquake with epicentre around Nedumkandam, approximately 20 km east of the Tdukki reservoir, has been in the news. A detailed gravity profile from Bangalore to Trivandrum across Cardamom-Palni hill ranges has delineated a fault type of anomaly coinciding with the epicentre of the earthquake whose modeHing suggests a shallow fault extending up to 10-11 km. This feature being associated with a thick crust in this region controlled by deep faults might have got reactivated to cause this earthquake.- Gallbladder Disease in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a modern epidemic which leads to various complications over a period of time. Autonomic neuropathy is one such complication which may lead on to gallbladder dysmotility and gallbladder stones.
Objectives: To determine the incidence of gallbladder disorders in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to find out the incidence of autonomic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and correlate it with presence of gall bladder disorders.
Material and Methods: The present study was conducted in 50 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 25 healthy age and sex matched normal individuals were taken as controls. The cases as well as the controls underwent ultrasonographic examination for gall bladder volume, wall thickness, intraluminal mass and contraction in response to fatty meal. Data thus collected was compared and analysed statistically by using students 't' test and chi-square test.
Results: Mean postprandial gallbladder volume was 20.56Β±8.87 cm3 in diabetics with ANP with gallstones, 26.16Β±1.24 cm3 in diabetics with ANP with dysmotility 13.0Β±6.26 cm3 in diabetics with gallstones without ANP, 12.14Β±4.88 cm3 in normal diabetics and 13.60Β±5.95 cm3 in controls. The percentage contraction post fatty meal was calculated from these values and found to be 24.73Β±14.64% in diabetics with ANP with dysmotility, 26.38Β±17.04% in diabetics with ANP with dysmotility, 43.48Β±8.45% in diabetics with gallstones without ANP, 56.84Β±9.02% in normal diabetics and 57.64Β±9.92% in controls.
Conclusion: Incidence of gallbladder disease is much higher in type 2 diabetics (40%) as compared to normal healthy adults (4%). It was concluded that diabetics with ANP had significantly impaired gallbladder emptying. Poor control of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and diabetic autonomic neuropathy are important risk factors for the development of gallbladder disease.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of collectivism as a moderator in the relationship between organizational stress and mental health among managers in private sector organizations. Manager's mental health contributes in enhancing the production, effectiveness of organizations as well as psychological well-being. The present study was conducted on 210 managerial personnel and results reveal that organizational stress (total) is significantly negatively correlated with mental health. The results of stepwise multiple regression analysts show that organizational stress (total) emerge as a significant predictors to influence the mental health. Results also show that collectivism moderates the relationship of organizational stress and mental health among managerial personnel. The finding of this study will help in reducing the disability, absenteeism, job loss and subsequent unemployment of managers so that organizations will success in getting their goals.Keywords

Rice (Oryza sativa.L.) is an important stapie crop of the world and mainly consumed in the form of whole grains. The rice obtained from freshly harvested paddy is less suitable for processing and culinary utilization. The cooking and eating properties of rice change dramatically with its storage after harvest and this phenomenon is called ageing of rice. It is a common practice to age the freshly harvested rice at least for six months before consumption. Basmati rice is valued highly in many parts of the world and is preferred over non-basmati, because after cooking, they are soft, non sticky, possess pleasant exauisite aroma, elongate extremely lengthwise with least breadth-wise swelling on cooking.- Comparative Analysis of Unilateral Subarachnoid Block with Ankle Block for Elective Foot Surgery

Background:There are many accepted anesthesia techniques for elective foot surgery ranging from general anesthesia to regional anesthesia, regional anesthesia being the preferred method. Regional anesthesia techniques employed for foot surgery includes subarachnoid block, epidural anesthesia and ankle block.Objective: The present study is aimed at providing comparative analysis of ankle block with unilateral subarachnoid block for elective foot surgeries in terms of hemodynamic safety profile and post operative analgesia.
Material and Methods: Study includes prospective analysis of 80 ASA II and III patients who underwent elective foot surgery. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 40 each, Ankle block group (AB) and Unilateral subarachnoid group (US). The parameters recorded for study includes systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, visual analogue scale for pain severity, time of first analgesic need and the complications.
Results: There were minimal blood pressure changes and heart rate variability in AB group as compared to US group when compared with basal values (p<0.05). The time for first analgesic requirement is prolonged in AB group as compared to US group. The visual analogue scale score was assessed at 2nd, 4th and 6th hours for group AB were lowered as compared to group US (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Ankle block is associated with lesser hemodynamic variations and better postoperative analgesia as compared to unilateral subarachnoid block.

Background:Hemodynamic variations are commonly encountered following subarchnoid block and can attribute to significant mortality and morbidity. To counteract the hypotension, fluid adminstration before spinal anaesthesia is recommended (preloading). Crystalloids and colloids are recommended as preloading fluids but both have their own merits and demerits.Objective: This comparative study was done to compare the effectiveness of ringer lactate versus 6% hydroxyl ethyl starch for preventing spinal anesthesia induced hypotension.
Material and Methods: In this prospective study, we compare the effectiveness of ringer lactate versus 6% hydroxy ethyl starch at 10ml/kg over a period of 20 minutes before spinal anaesthesia in preventing hypotension. After administration of spinal anaestheisa mean arterial pressure were recorded at 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes and 3 hours after spinal anaesthesia. Number of patient, recieving injection Mephentermine sulphate for persistent hypotension was also recorded.
Results: We found that hydroxy ethyl starch is more effective than ringer lactate solution as a preloading fluid in prevention of hypotension following spinal anaesthesia.
Conclusion: Hydroxy ethyl starch is superior to ringer lactate in preventing hypotension in patients undergoing elective lower abdominal surgeries under spinal anaesthesia but the incidence of hypotension is not completely eliminated.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) occupies the enviable prime place among food crops. Increasing productivity and sustained production of rice are critical for food and nutritional security. Rice is consumed largely in the cooked form and is also nutritious and hypoallergenic which make rice products staple food ingredients. It is also used in many value added products due to some of its unique functional properties such as flavour carrying capacity and hypoallergenity. It is a common practice to age the freshly harvested rice at least for six months before consumption.- Role of Life Events Stress & Individualism-Collectivism in Predicting Job Satisfaction

The present study was conducted on 210 managerial personnel to examine the role of life events stress and individualism-collectivism in job satisfaction. The results indicate that person positive and total positive stresses were found to be significantly and positively correlated with satisfaction (job&total). Correlation coefficient of job positive stress was found significantly and positively correlated with satisfaction (management & total). Collectivism was found to be significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction (management &total). Individualism- collectivism was found to be significant predictors of satisfaction (job, management &total). Managers who scored high on positive life events stress and individualism were found to have higher job satisfaction than those who scored high on negative life events stress and collectivism.- Effect of Organic Manures and Azospirillum on Productivity and Economics of Maize (Zea mays L.)

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2013 at Agronomy Research Farm, School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD) Nagaland University, Medziphema, to study the effect of organic manure and Azospirillum on productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) under the agro climatic condition of Nagaland. The experiment was laid out in RBD replicated thrice with seven treatments i.e. FYM @ 10 t ha-ΒΉ, vermicompost @ 5 t ha-ΒΉ, pig manure @ 5 t ha-ΒΉ, FYM @ 10 t ha-ΒΉ + Azospirillum @ 20 g kg-ΒΉ seed, vermicompost @ 5 t ha-ΒΉ + Azospirillum @ 20 g kg-ΒΉ seed, pig manure @ 5 t ha-ΒΉ + Azospirillum @ 20 g kg-ΒΉ seed and control. The plant height, number of green leaves plant-ΒΉ, stem thickness (cm), and leaf area index were recorded highest with application of FYM @ 10 t ha-ΒΉ followed by FYM @ 10 t ha-ΒΉ + Azospirillum @ 20 g kg-ΒΉ seed. FYM @ 10 t ha-ΒΉ has also produced highest yield attributing characters like cobs weight (120.51 g), number of grain rows (34.84), length of cob (15.29 cm), grain weight (81.66 g), grain yield(1.82 t ha-ΒΉ), straw yield (3.01) and B:C ratio 2.5.Keywords

The purpose of this paper was to explore the role of occupational stress in somatic health complaints among executives in public sector organizations. Somatic health complaints lead to disability, absenteeism, job loss and subsequent unemployment in the organizations. The present study was conducted on 210 executives and results revealed that occupational stress (total), role overload, role ambiguity, and role conflict (dimensions of occupational stress) were significantly positively correlated with somatic health complaints. The results of simple regression analysis showed that occupational stress predicted significantly somatic health complaints while results of step wise regression analysis showed that role conflict (dimension of occupational stress) emerged as significant predictors to influence the somatic complaints. The findings of this study will help in reducing the somatic health complaints through considering the role of the present predictor so that organizations will achieve their goals.Keywords

The purpose of this paper is to explore the psychometric properties of the newly developed questionnaire related to mental health of adults. Mental health is a global concept which includes the wellness of the individuals at psychological, emotional and social level. This questionnaire consists of twenty items related to life satisfaction, psychological well-being, psychological distress, and positive orientation towards self. The sample comprises of 350 students of Banaras Hindu University engaged in higher studies. The results of reliability analysis indicate that Cronbach's Ξ± = .826 after deleting the one item from the scale. The reliability is statistically acceptable for newly developed scale. Results of the exploratory factor analysis indicate that these nineteen items are loaded on four factors (life satisfaction, psychological well-being, psychological distress, and positive orientation) and these four factors explain65.08% of total variance in mental health construct. The items of this questionnaire are framed in such manner that this questionnaire can be also useful in assessing the mental health of all normal adult population.Keywords

The aim of this review paper is to present an innovative idea to explore the role of different types of decision making style in mental health of managers. In present time of positive psychology much emphasis is being given in promoting and enhancing the mental health of individuals and it can be also seen in organizations which in turn lead to the proper functioning of organization. There are many studies in which decision making style has been taken as an antecedents and consequences. It has been considered as an antecedent for academic performance among students and taking health care and consequences of different types of mental illness but there is a lack of studies related to the determining role of different types of decision making style in promoting the mental health of managers. So this paper is an attempt to present the base and rationale to examine the role of different types of decision making style indetermining and promoting the mental health of managers. Findings of this study would help the organizations in designing better training models for those decision making styles that are found to be positively correlated with mental health. So in future there is a need for conducting empirical studies related to the decision making styles and mental health.Keywords

This paper presents the development and validation process of a new scale for assessing work group climate in organizational setting. Every organization and every workgroup has a climate. Climate is the environment in which people work that affects how people behave at work. Workgroups with a positive, supportive climate tend to perform well and achieve their desired results. To assess the work group climate a scale was developed which consists of 21 items before standardization. In this scale participants have to give responses based on self-perception about climate of their group. Sample of 215 employees working in different private sector organizations were selected for the standardization of this scale. The reliability index was ascertained by computing Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was found to be 0.867 for this scale. Based on corrected item-total correlation, 5 items were excluded. Results of factor analysis (Principal Component Analysis with Varimax Rotation) indicate that three component solutions were formed suitable to the scale. 1 item was excluded due to cross loadings and 15 remaining items are retained from the original scale. This scale has good reliability index and satisfactory construct validity. It could be a useful tool for work group climate in organizational setting.Keywords

Generally, human life is not going on a straight way. It runs on a zig-zag line. If a person feels good today, it is not necessary to be happy tomorrow also. In searching of better solutions, facing these small and big problems, and making adjustment with current situations and environment, a person feels stress more or less. People often have too many demands placed on their time, are worried about uncertain futures and have little time for family and fun. Stress affects us at home, work, and even on holidays. It is also listened often that everyone should learn to βdealβ or βcopeβ with stress in our life. Although a lot of stress models described illustrate how many different viewpoints there are of work stress, and show how complex these processes may be, a more comprehensive model of work stress has been suggested in this paper. This model gives an overview of how changes in the nature of many work environments have led to increase in workplace stress, and how it may be implicated in many stress-related physical and psychological problems. Many existing models suffer from being either narrow in scope or lacking a role for individual differences, and lacking in predictive validity. This model adds a new dimension to think again about the workplace stress which has now become a common phenomenon among the employees. Every organism faces challenges from its external environment and from its personal needs. The organism must solve these problems to survive and thrive. In such a complex and competitive job environment, to find proper solutions or skills to cope with workplace stress, an employee would first need to understand the nature and whole process of workplace stress and this model would be more helpful to understand the work stress, its nature and whole process including an important role of individual capacity which exists in every stage, so that the better psychological therapies and medicinal treatments may be discovered in future to help such several employees to improve their health in the interest of the concerned organizations because employees are considered as backbone of any organization for development.Keywords

In this article a simple and small size wideband square patch antenna has been examined for band notch characteristics. In order to broadening the band width of the simple patch antenna, the role of partial ground has been critically studied and analyzed. The presented methodology reveals that the implementation of meander line fractal shaped defected ground structure not only augment the band width of the antenna but also provide a notched band at 12.14 GHz required to reject the interference for existing wireless communication. A prototype of the proposed antenna has been fabricated to validate the simulated results. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement.Keywords

Psychologist and researchers give many definitions and explore the concept of forgiveness. Forgiveness is distinct from other ways of dealing with personal insults or injury. Forgiveness is not condoning, excusing, exonerating, justifying, or pardoning an offender (Enright, 2001; Worthington, Witvliet, Pietrini, & Miller, 2007). Neither is forgiveness the same as reconciling a damaged relationship or restoring offenders to their former status (Sutton, 2010). In such a backdrop this review are under taken there themes. Forgiveness: effects, benefits, forgiveness and stress, coping mechanisms, physiological changes and health. Review indicate that forgivingness related to levels of stress, well-being, and depression (Lawler-Row & Piferi, 2006) and it helpful in the treatment of disorders such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, disorders of childhood, eating disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, and marital and family dysfunction. Further forgiveness has been hypothesized to be an emotion-focused coping strategy. It has been found to reduce anger andhostility(Al-Mabuketal., 1995).Keywords

In modern competitive organizations, job satisfaction is an important psychological attribute that may play crucial role in organizational effectiveness and employees' well-being. Locus of control as a personality variable and stressful life events are causally implicated in a variety of unenviable effects on our performance and health. The present study was conducted on 210 managerial personnel in private sector organizations in India. The results of correlation coefficients indicate that person positive was found to be significantly positively correlated with satisfaction (job & total). Job positive was found to be significantly positively correlated with satisfaction (management & total) and locus of control (external) was found to be significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction (management & total). Results of stepwise multiple regression analysis indicate that person positive (dimension of positive life events stress) emerges as predictor for satisfaction (job & total) and job positive (dimension of positive life events stress) emerge as predictor for satisfaction (management) while locus of control (external) emerge as predictor for satisfaction (management & total) The finding of this study will help in ameliorating the job satisfaction which helps to revamp the employees' performance and aggrandize the organizational productivity.Keywords

Friction stir welding (FSW) is known for joining low softening alloys metals such as aluminum, magnesium and copper, however joining of high softening alloys like steel, titanium and nickel base alloys is still a challenge due to tool material stringent property requirements and its availability. Presently, due to development new generation tool material FSW of high softening alloys is possible and also reported. FSW can effectively join different grade of low thickness steel, however the questions about joining thick section steel still remains a challenge.
In this paper, FSW of 7 mm, 12 mm and 24 mm thick HSLA steel in single and double pass was carried out to develop the processing window for defect free weld joints and understanding the structure-property correlation. The increase in thickness of the base metal resulted in generation of higher load, higher heat input and consequently lower cooling rate. Therefore, the microstructure obtained after FSW in different thickness of steel also shows varying microstructures (grain boundary ferrite, acicular ferrite, widmensttan ferrite and upper bainite). Optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) detector was utilized to characterize the microstructure of FSW nugget zone. Tensile and hardness properties were also evaluated and correlated with the microstructure.

For a meromorphic function f, let S(f) denote the set of all meromorphic functions a(z) in |z| <β which satisfy T( r, Ξ±) = Ξ±(T(r,f)) as r ->β. Then every a(z) Ξ΅ S (f) is called a small function. Further f and g are said to share a if and only if {z| f{z) = a (z)} ={ z| g (z) -a [z]}. Recently N.Toda proved that if f and g share seven small functons then f β‘ g. In this paper we study the comparative growth of meromophic functions that share fewer than seven small functions and also the maximum number of small functions a given entire function can share with its derivative.- Development and Validation of a Psychometric Scale for Assessing Interpersonal Competence of Managers

The purpose of the paper is to present the processes undertaken to evaluate the psychometric properties of interpersonal competence scale (ICS), developed and validated for measuring interpersonal competence of managers. Interpersonal competence is an important variable that play pivotal role in different areas of human-life and to examine its importance in organizational milieu a psychological tool is necessary. This scale consists of 40 items before standardization. Responses were taken from 250 mangers of first level working in different subsidiaries of Coal India Limited (CIL), India using self-report measure method as a locus of measurement. Content and face validity, construct validity using exploratory factor analysis, and reliability analysis using Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient were used for validation and standardization of the interpersonal competence scale. Four items were dropped due to poor item-total correlation; five items were dropped due to less loading than .40 while two items were dropped because they were having cross loadings. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed remaining 29 items are loaded on five factors (providing emotional support, conflict resolution, asserting influence, self-disclosure, & initiating relationship) and explain 48.6 % of total variance in interpersonal competence construct. The results of reliability analysis indicate that Cronbach's alpha is .905 for standardized 29 items of interpersonal competence scale and thus reliability is good and acceptable for newly developed scale. Findings of this paper suggest that this interpersonal competence scale is a valid and reliable research tool which can be used to a wider population of mangers working in different organizations.Keywords

Friction stir welding (FSW) technology is well-known forits capability to join low softening metals and alloys such as aluminum and magnesium, conversely, high softening alloys like steel, titanium and nickel alloys is still a challenge due to tool material stringent property requirements and its availability. Presently, with the advancement in the development of tool materials,the joining of high softening alloysis possible. However, in case of high strength quench sensitive grade of steel, high cooling rate associated during FSW induces undesirable brittle martensitic microstructure and therefore, reduces the properties of the weld zone, particularly, the ductility and toughness. Therefore, in present investigation a novel approach to control the microstructure was investigated by employing induction pre heating source ahead of tool pin during FSW. The HSLA plate preheated at 300 Β°C and 600 Β°C respectively resulted in simultaneous increase of ductility and toughness because of widmanstΓ€tten ferrite and bainitic microstructure due to lower cooling rate. In case of FSW carried out without preheating the hard brittle zone was found, whereas the same was eliminated with preheating source. Optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) detector was utilized to characterize the microstructure of FSW nugget zone, and was correlated with mechanical properties.Keywords
