It is the first time in the annals of Mysore University Library, University of Mysore, that an attempt is made by the investigators to explore what image the users have about the library. The application of strategic marketing methods to libraries and information centers is however of recent origin. The outcome of such studies, if found positive helps in attracting good funding. It also leads to the most effective way of managing a library besides enhancing its efficiency. The results show that the image and familiarity of this library among the users is somewhat favorable and most of them know a fair amount about it. A great majority of users seek the help of the library professionals to look for documents More than 50% of the respondents are satisfied with the library services. The users also suggest that they need more books followed by journals.Keywords

Selfies frequently trigger perceptions of self-indulgence or attention-seeking social dependence that raises the damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don't spectre of either narcissism or very low self-esteem". Psychiatrists believed that behaviors could generate more mental issues in the future, especially those related to lack of confidence. You've seen it thousands of times on facebook and other social media outlets, there is even a song on the radio about it Selfies have become a huge trend in social media and psychiatrists and mental health workers are linking them to mental health conditions related to narcissism and a person's obsession with their looks. How far can the selfie obsession go A British male teenager went to the extent of trying to commit suicide after he was unable to take what he felt was the perfect selfie. Danny Bowman became so obsessed with capturing the perfect shot that he would spend roughly 10 hours per day taking up to 200 selfies trying to get the perfect shot. As things got more and more intense for Danny, he lost nearly 30 pounds, dropped out of school and did not leave the house for six months as he kept trying for the perfect picture. During his suicide attempt, Bowman was saved by his mother.Keywords

The Children of today are the resources of the future. Preservation of their lives will always be a priority. Healthy children become healthy adults. A chronic disease constitutes not only the major health problems on children but also the nation primary health problem. Today, Nephrotic syndrome is recognised as a common chronic illness in childhood. The quantity of parental information concerning symptoms and home management of Nephrotic syndrome disease recurrence is insufficient. Therefore upgrading parental awareness and knowledge through educational courses and providing comprehensive and necessary information concerning disease, signs and symptoms, and prevention of its complications can greatly improve the quality of the cares levels and to live healthy as well as productive life.
Objectives:
1. To assess the level of knowledge regarding Nephrotic syndrome and its home care management among parents of children with Nephrotic syndrome before and after giving the information booklet.
2. To determine the effectiveness of information booklet on level of gain in knowledge regarding Nephrotic syndrome and its home care management among parents of children with Nephrotic syndrome.
3. To find the association of level of knowledge among parents of children with Nephrotic syndrome with their selected personal variables.
Methods:
Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted to accomplish the objectives of the study. A sample of 60 parents of children with nephrotic syndrome was selected by using purposive sampling technique. Initial knowledge of the parents on nephrotic syndrome and its homecare management was determined by administering knowledge questionnaire by structured interview schedule. A validated information booklet on nephrotic syndrome and its homecare management was given to the parents and its effectiveness was determined by post-test knowledge score.
Results:
The results of the study revealed that the significance of difference between the mean pre test and mean post test knowledge scores which was statistically tested using paired 't' test was found to be highly significant at 0.05 level of significance (t (59)= 25.381; p<0.05).
Conclusion
From the study findings, it is revealed that there was significant increase in the knowledge scores of the parents of children with nephrotic syndrome after administering information booklet. Therefore, it was concluded that information booklet was highly effective in improving the knowledge of parents regarding nephrotic syndrome and its home care management.

Pompe disease is an inherited disorder caused by the buildup of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. The accumulation of glycogen in certain organs and tissues, especially muscles, impairs their ability to function normally. Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene that instructs the body to make an enzyme called acid alpha-glycosidase (GAA). Patients with Pompe disease have deficient lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glycosidase (GAA) activity, which catalyses the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the lyososome.1 Clinically it is classified into 3 types namely Infantileonset Pompe disease, Non-classic infantile-onset Pompe disease and Late or adult onset Pompe disease. Diagnostic test is the measurement of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme activity. Pompe disease management can be done based on its manifestations and complications.Keywords

In the recent years, Pongamia pinnata trees are widely grown at farms for its seeds utilised for biofuel activities. Due to the easy availability of this tree bark, it is used as a viable adsorbent for removing some heavy metals from aqueous and waste water. In this context, the adsorption of Zinc on prepared adsorbent is very effective. In this study, investigations were made for the adsorption of zinc ions from aqueous and waste water. Batch adsorption studies to determine the optimum conditions of zinc ion removal were conducted to know the influence of experimental conditions such as pH of the solution, metal ion concentration, amount of adsorbent and contact time at room temperature. The results obtained show that the optimum pH range for the zinc removal is 5 – 5.4 and adsorption percent is higher than 95 %. Kinetic study was also made to determine rate constants.Keywords

Mass production of Metarhizium anisopliae on different locally available solid substrates viz., pearl millet, maize, sweet corn, cowpea, rice bran, wheat bran, press mud + yeast extract (1%) and bagasse + yeast extract (1%) and Pulses viz., green gram, red gram, chick pea and cowpea and liquid media viz., sabouraud’s dextrose broth, potato dextrose broth, sabouraud’s maltose broth, sabouraud’s sucrose broth and sabouraud’s glucose broth was taken up. Significantly highest number of CFU were recorded in green gram, 94.00, 91.00 and 97.00 CFU per ml with 13.24 × 108 , 16.42 × 108 and 15.56 × 108 conidia per ml in 3 promising strains, UASRBC-Ma2, UASRBC-Ma31 and ICARNBAIRMa4, respectively followed by wheat bran, 78.00, 73.00 and 93.33 CFU per ml with 22.00 × 108 , 26.23 × 108 and 24 × 108 conidia per ml and maximum dry mycelia recorded in Sabouraud’s maltose yeast broth, 127.33 mg, 219.67 mg, 325.67 mg and 386.00 mg per 100 ml of liquid broth on 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th days after inoculation. The present study revealed that solid substrates namely green gram, rice and wheat bran and liquid media, sabouraud’s maltose broth provide a simplest productive medium for mass production of Metarhizium anisopliae spores.Keywords
