Objective: Pathological evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding.
Settings: Department of Obstetrics&Gynaecology, Pt. J. N. M. Medical college & DR. B. R. Ambedkar Memorial, Hospital, Raipur (C. G.)
Study design: Cross sectional Participants: 100
Material and Methods: A detailed, pre-tested, structured, closed questionnaire was used to collect the data. According to the case, cervical cytology and biopsy from any suspicious lesion or growth from cervix, vagina or vulva was taken. Results were analyzed using percentages.
Results: 65% of cases were of malignant origin. Carcinoma cervix came out to be the most common malignancy causing postmenopausal bleeding, representing 60% of total cases. Most of the cancer cervix cases were in advanced stages. Carcinoma endometrium and Carcinoma vulva were other malignancies found. The most common benign lesion associated with postmenopausal bleeding was Cervical Polyp, responsible for 25.7% of all benign cases. Incidence of malignancy increased with increasing age and with increasing clear span.
Conclusions: There in an urgent need for increasing awareness about the importance of postmenopausal bleeding. It is imperative to maintain a high index of suspicion and evaluate postmenopausal bleeding thoroughly considering it malignancy unless proved otherwise. Emphasis should be placed on screening of carcinoma cervix in pre-invasive stage, when it is symptomless and curable.

The objective of this paper is to present a narrative overview of research work done on the Bhagavad Gita and explore the possibility of using specific teachings of the Gita for promoting resilience and optimism among school children. Though Indians have used the teachings of the Gita to guide them through life since the ancient times, very little scientific research has been done in the area. The teachings have been of immense value to people in different time periods and few question the credibility of the knowledge contained therein. What is needed, however, is the scientific validation of the effects of the teachings in different social groups. There is an urgent need for revisiting the ancient teachings. More so, because we must offer the right kind of mental conditioning for school children, who are facing increasing behavioural and mental health issues, some of which may be borne out of a lack of resilience and optimism. Because very little scientific research has been attempted in the area, the methods used for this study included a review of translations and commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita by different authors along with research journal articles. A review of about a forty researches show that there are immense possibilities in the area. Positive outcomes in most researches conducted, show that the teachings of Gita may provide conditioning 'mantras' that will help build optimism and resilience in school students. This paper makes suggestions for further research and inclusion of specific teaching interventions for school children.Keywords

We report the first record of an age-diagnostic, but depauperate assemblage of calcareous nannofossils, an exclusively marine phytoplankton group, from the Lathi Formation of Jaisalmer Basin, western India. The nannofossil evidence, precisely constrains the age of the Lathi Formation, traditionally considered to be a Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) continental deposit. Furthermore, the presence of several reworked nannofossil taxa of Pliensbachian, Toarcian and Aalenian ages suggests that the earliest epeiric sea transgressed western India during the Early Jurassic. Thick and luxuriant gymnosperm forests proliferated in the Jaisalmer Basin during this time. The presence of calcareous nannofossils in both the lower and upper members of the Lathi Formation (Odania and Thaiat members) points to intermittent coastal marine depositional environment.Keywords

This paper looks at the need for introducing a new dimension to the counselor's role in Indian schools - that of providing Positive psychology interventions to school students. We are witnessing increasing instances of behavioral problems and low academic standards among students in semi urban schools in India. The school authorities feel the need for effective and positive intervention programs for these students. Parents and teachers both find themselves turning to the counselors, who are not only few in number but unable to handle all the referrals. The role of the counselor, thus needs to be redefined. Apart from broadening the scope of counseling, integrated interventions that the teachers can handle are required. The paper also identifies the growing need for counseling that is preventive rather than remedial. With the parents and teachers turning into a helpless lot and looking towards the counselors to help them with managing their children, the counselors need to reframe their role. Rather than being overwhelmed by the number of referrals, they must help in the upbringing of children with positive character traits. Going by the research findings in positive psychology, this should help in bringing down the number of referrals of behavioral issues. As findings of some of the studies on Positive Psychology also suggest a cultural impact on the outcome of positive interventions, this paper makes further research suggestions of combining Indian Psychology with the western Positive Psychology methods as options for effective positive interventions for school children.Keywords

Mirowsk, Ross (2002) explained Psychological distress as a state of emotional suffering that is termed by symptoms of depression such as loss of interest; sadness; anxiety, restlessness or general feelings of tense. Counseling interventions, on the other hand, are more preventive in approach and curative in their nature. These interventions focus on the management of normal day to day mental concerns of people and are focused on strength based healing and active solution focused approach. The objective of the study is to understand the relation between Management of Psychological distress and counseling interventions in sample of 15 individuals between the ages of 25 to 45 years. Sample criterion specifies population that has been cured for psychological distress through counseling interventions and has taken minimum of 5 counseling sessions each. A focus group interview and thematic analysis were the qualitative measures taken for the study. As predicted, Counseling interventions were associated with lower levels of distress and better overall mental health and coping.Keywords

Alcoholism is a family disease it ruins not only to the particular individual but also the whole family. Family disruptions, domestic violence resulting juvenile problems, add up to a significant proportion of loss to society and nation's well-being and economy. Alcohol plays a major role in more than half of all accidents, suicides and early deaths. Alcoholic families have to face a lot of turmoil and struggle even when the alcoholic person is alive or after death; children are at the most vulnerable situation in the family. Children of alcoholic appear at increase risk for a variety of negative outcomes as substance abuse, antisocial behaviour depression, anxiety disorders, delinquent behavior, etc. Objectives of the study is to investigate and compare the self-efficacy and well-being in adolescent children of alcoholics (COAs) and those of non-alcoholic (nCOAs) and other one is to bring out the association or relationship between self-efficacy and well-being of children of alcoholics (COAs) and children of non-alcoholics (nCOAs). The sample is consisted of 600 respondents of the age range 14-18 from different schools of Kanpur city. 300 children are from alcoholic families and 300 children from non-alcoholic families. Snow ball sampling is used for data collection. General self-efficacy scale and PGl General well being measure were used for measuring self efficacy and well being of adolescent children, t and correlation statistics has been used for analyzing the data. Results indicated that children of alcoholics have lower self- efficacy and well-being in comparison to children of non-alcoholics. Results further inferred that there is a positive correlation between self-efficacy and well-being. Due to unhealthy environment, children of alcoholic families have some negative impact on their personal and academic life. Through intervention programmes at the school and community level, many children of alcoholic families may enhance their self efficacy, self esteem and well being, so that they can lead their life in a better way.Keywords

The present study analyses the effect of mantra chanting on the performance IQ of 8-13 years old students in Dehradun. In the study it has been hypothesised that the performance IQ (PlQ*) of children will be enhanced with l5 minutes of mantra chanting when practiced for 30 days daily. For this experimental study 15 students were studied by using four performance tests of Malin's intelligence battery for children (an Indian adaptation of Weischler's Intelligence battery for children). The pre and post test results are analysed with 't' test. Performance sub-tests are non-verbal in nature and the sum of four Transient quotients gives performance IQ (P1Q*). The test of significance reveals a significant result p=0.01% and t=3.339. The frequency of repetition of the mantra also increased with proficiency. The critical value p<0.01%, t=2.74 test shows significance difference in pre and post WASP frequency analysis. It establishes the fact that 15min. of mantra chanting is effective in enhancing the performance IQ.Keywords

The role of Optimistic employees in organizations efficiency and productivity is undeniable. The sense of being grounded and feeling good as a result of Optimism helps to pave way to vitality and eventually higher subjective well-being. Optimism is an attributional style that explains positive events in terms of personal, permanent and pervasive causes. Subjective Well-Being (SWB) is person's cognitive and affective evaluations of his or her life. In order to study the relationship between Optimism and Subjective Well-Being (SWB), a sample of 320 employees working in Private Universities of Delhi/NCR region were taken. For this purpose, Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) given by Scheier, Carver, and Bridges(1994) and Subjective Well-being Scales-the Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS), Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) and Flourishing Scale (FS by Ed Diener & Robert Biswas-Diener, 2009) were used. Results show significant relationship between Optimism and Subjective Well Being of employees.Keywords

In Indian agricultural sector, lots of human resource is involved. Most of the agricultural activities are performed by rural women. The women are the backbone of agricultural workforce. In floriculture, more than half of the harvest and post harvest activities are performed by rural women. During these activities, rural women are involved in various kinds of drudgery prone activities for prolonged time. Keeping the above issues in mind, the present study was planned to assess the level of postural discomfort and musculoskeletal disorders among rural women involved in floriculture sector. The results revealed that more than half of the rural women (59%) were suffering from hand and finger pain. Besides this, total 39 per cent rural women were suffering from back pain. Further, it was also observed that the main causes of postural discomfort and musculoskeletal disorders were manual operations, long working hours, prolonged activities and awkward working postures, lack of breaks, inadequate working environment, traditional agricultural tools and equipments. On the basis of present study, it was concluded that women friendly and drudgery reducing tools and technologies should be designed to reduce the level of postural discomfort, musculoskeletal disorders and human drudgery. Awareness programmes and trainings should be provided to empower the rural women at gross ischolar_main level.Keywords

Women’s participation in sugarcane cultivation shows much heterogeneity at the regional level. Evidence suggests that women are often paid less than men, for the same work. Sugarcane cultivation is tedious, tiresome and labour consuming, because agricultural workers has to stand in field and bend for hours for performing the activities. Keeping this in view, the present study was planned to assess the rate of human drudgery female farm workers, during various phases of sugarcane cultivation. Results revealed that the weeding activity require maximum time (193.65 min/day) followed by harvesting activity requiring 162.79 min/day. In trash mulching activity, agricultural workers spend their maximum time i.e. 170.64 min/day. During cleaning of field activity, for agricultural workers required only 159.35 min/ day. It was also observed that as compared with others, weeding was the maximum drudgery prone sugarcane cultivation activity based on drudgery index.Keywords

Chrysanthemum morifoIium is a vegetatively propagated perennial ornamental plant. The shoot proliferation medium comprised of different concentrations of BAP and NAA in different combinations. The best proliferation with well differentiated micro shoots was achieved when the cultures were transferred to MS medium fortified with 3.0 mg/l BAP and NAA 0.01 mg/l. The treatments recorded 4.0 to 4.43 micro shoots per explants after 15 to 20 days of first sub culture.Keywords

Present research aims to study the processing speed index of children at metropolitan city (Gurgaon- sea level) and remote area (Ladakh- very high altitude ). It has been hypothesised that there will be significant difference in the processing speed index of children residing at metropolitan city and remote area. For this purpose processing speed index of 30 students is assessed with the help of Coding performance subtests of Malin's intelligence battery (an Indian adaptation of Weischler's Intelligence battery). 15 students from a public school from a metropolitan city are assessed on coding subtest and same procedure is replicated in remote area of Ladakh. Result findings reveal a significant difference (p=<0.01,t=3.12) in the mean of processing speed index at metropolitan city (Gurgaon-sea level) and remote area (Ladakh-very high altitude). It shows that the processing speed index in children residing in metro city is more than the children of remote area.Keywords

In the recent times, rising attrition is a cause of concern in the Indian Automobile Industry particularly the frontline dealer sales force. Most research on commitment and attrition is focused on the relationship between these variables or related variables in various organisational sectors. There is huge scope to apply available studies on positively impacting employee attitude such as organisational commitment and thereby reducing attrition particularly in the Indian Automobile Industry. This paper therefore aims to study how organisational commitment can be enhanced in the Indian automobile Industry. More specifically this paper 1) examines recent challenges faced by the Indian Automobile industry 2) attempts to bring together recent Indian and International studies 3) explores the implication of the study on Organisational Commitment in automobile dealerships in India (Kaul & Singh, 2017b) and suggest practical solutions for reducing attrition and enhancing commitment 4) identifies research gaps and future scope of research on the topic.Keywords

There are numerous parameters that have to be taken into consideration when considering the relationship between the media and terrorism. The relationship is complicated by the use of the media by terrorists to optimize the psychological impact of their acts of terror beyond the immediate location of the act itself, and what could cynically be described as the media's use of terrorism to attract audiences. The invasion of a terrorist victim's privacy is the most direct and visible harm from media coverage of terrorism. The invasion of privacy by the media both during and following a terrorist event such as kidnapping, for instance, can be as traumatic to victims and their families as the actual kidnapping itself. If business executives dicker about ransom, for instance, company management will be perceived as insensitive or materialistic in its concern. Thus, publicized ransom decisions can adversely effect executive morale and increase exposure to future terrorist attacks. The public has a valid interest in preserving domestic order.' The media, especially the broadcaster, can often frustrate police management by interfering with on-going operations, compounding the pressure on authorities, and impairing their ability to make decisions. By its very nature, terrorism is meant to capture the attention of the public. It is directed at changing the way society thinks. Modern technology, through television and the capabilities of global satellite communications systems, has provided terror groups with a critical communications instrument through which the terrorist receives instantaneous worldwide publicity. Terrorists use the media as a form of political advertising. Since they cannot buy television time, they gain coverage through commission of terrorist acts. Just as early television sponsors produced shows as vehicles for their commercials, 30 media terrorists now provide live drama-murder and kidnapping-in return for "advertising time".Keywords

The concept of globalization or internationalization of certain wars, which were result of terrorist activities worldwide, as well as the high attention of terrorism coverage broadcast worldwide might open up better opportunities to journalists particularly to those who work in democratic countries like U.S.Aand India to improve their coverage. The context is the key: the context of the operation methodology, follow of guidelines of regulatory bodies, and of the journalistic culture and of the global environment. It is very important how media presents consequences of terrorist acts, how information is transmitted to public. Television and press have had a significant impact on how public receives terrorist acts and their consequences. As a result, nearly each public survey indicates that responders almost anywhere put fear of terrorist acts o the top of their priority list. In order to reach out on a conclusion on this paper, researcher has gone through number of books related to terrorism and media, has examined significant number of journals which deals with core issue of terrorism and its coverage by media.Keywords

The Coaching Behavior Scale for Sport (CBS-S) is designed to evaluate coach's involvement in developing sports person in multidimensional aspects of sports. Although CBS-S has been used in a number of empirical studies, the factor structure of the instrument has not been examined in Elite Indian context. Present study was, therefore, conducted to assess the factor structure of the CBS-S for Indian Elite sports person, 76 Elite sports person completed the CBS-S, CFA were done to assess the (CBS-S) for reliability and validity. Seven-factor CFA models fit to the sample data adequately. In addition, the sizes of factor loadings on target factors were substantial. The findings from this study supported the factorial validity of the CBS-S for the present sample and Personal Rapport (PS) and Negative Personal Rapport (NPR) are found to be moderately significant. This suggest that the Elite Indian sports person is relying more on the coach in relation to the Physical training, Technical skill, Goal setting, Mental preparations and Competitive strategies rather than the two rapport subscales.Keywords

The notorious Blue Whale Challenge (BWC) on Internet has claimed many teenagers' lives abroad and in India. In India, there had been a steady upsurge in suicides, suicide attempts and self-harming behaviour among teenagers in the year 2017. Up to five suicide deaths and many suicide attempts have been attributed to the pro-suicide online challenge. The aim of the paper is to provide a comprehensive review of all the reported cases published by media in India regarding BWC. Keywords such as "blue whale suicide challenge", "attempted suicides due to blue whale challenge", "reported cases related to blue whale challenge" were used to collect the necessary information from the Internet. National newspapers were screened for relevant information regarding factual information. The concept of BWC as a tool for mass cyberbullying, its causes, effects have been discussed. Analysis of each reported case has been done to construct a psychological perspective of the probable reasons behind each of the suicides and self-harming behaviour which could be taken as pointers for further investigation by forensic experts. The remedies under Information Technology Act 2008 to handle cyberbullying and also preventive measures for the victim, family and educational setting to tackle the problem of BWC and cyberbullying has been detailed. There is an urgent need to understand the underlying reasons behind BWC, cyberbullying, self-harm by participants leading to extreme step of committing suicides. The remedies and preventive measures to evade this problem has been discussed. BWC seems to be a psychological predatory mass cyberbullying tool however due to media attention, the possibility of attributing BWC as a cause to self-harm in many of the reported cases in India has been suggested.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

The Palaeogene succession of Kutch, Gujarat exhibits huge shallow marine carbonate deposits of Middle Eocene and Oligocene ages. These deposits were mainly dated on the basis of larger benthic foraminifers. The paucity of foraminifers in the intermittent units of the succession resulted in discrepancy in precise dating of these strata. Lumpy Clay Member of Maniyara Fort Formation is one such example. This is considered as unfossiliferous in terms of foraminifers and was dated on the basis of foraminiferal assemblages of underlying Basal and overlying Coral Limestone members. In the present study, palynological biostratigraphy is proposed for the Lumpy Clay Member exposed at Bermoti Village, in Kutch. On the basis of age-diagnostic calcareous nannofossil and dinoflagellate cyst assemblages, the studied succession has been dated as Middle Rupelian (~31 Ma). The palynological data suggests a shallow marine neritic depositional setting, occasionally swept by open oceanic water.Keywords

Gender analysis along the agricultural value chain enhances our understanding about the roles performed by men and women in the value chain and in forward and backward linkages, their access to productive resources, opportunities available for valueaddition and benefit sharing, both as individuals and group enterprises. The gender roles in finger milletbased value chains and the constraints faced by women in existing finger millet value chains in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Odisha have been documented in this study. Along the value chains, women were found only as farmers, petty traders or labourers in processing units. However, the entry points for women in finger millet value chain have been identified. The role of women in the value chain could be strengthened by mobilizing them into clusters, establishing milletprocessing units, and forming forward and backward linkages.Keywords

Background: Mental toughness is one of the psychological dimensions considered essential for performance in sports. In this study, the Psychometric validation of the Psychological Performance Inventory (PPI) was validated for the measurement of mental toughness in elite athletes. Materials and method: A sample of 76 elite athletes was selected via purposive sampling. To assess mental toughness, we used the Psychological Performance Inventory, by Loehr (1986). A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to confirm the factor structure of the Psychological Performance Inventory in an Indian context. Results: The mean scores for negative energy control, positive energy control, attention control, and attitude control were 3.41 (SD = .18), 3.88 (SD = .23), 3.68 (SD = .15), and 3.86 (SD = .23), respectively. Only 29 items were adequately internally consistent in assessing mental toughness for Indian elite athletes. In composite reliability (CR), all factors had values above .85, indicating good reliability.
Conclusion: The lack of success among elite Indian athletes is their excessive focus on affective skills, neglect of cognitive skills. Balancing affective and cognitive skills is the way to improve mental toughness,
