The present study was carried out to understand the fuelwood resource use pattern by semi-nomadic pastoralist community (Van Gujjar) and adjacent villagers in and around Corbett Tiger Reserve, Uttarakhand, India. A total of nineteen settlements of Van Gujjars and fourteen adjacent villages were surveyed. Overall average fuelwood consumption of Van Gujjars community was found higher than adjacent villagers. But the average per capita fuelwood consumption of adjacent villagers was found higher than Van Gujjars. The fuelwood consumption by both communities was 1584.1 t dm and the observed total deforested wood was found 833.73 m3, which leads to the emission of various green house gasses. Inaccessibility of the area, lack of communication, high prices and a limited supply of alternative source of energy are largely responsible for the total dependence on nearby forests for fuelwood, fodder and other life supporting demands.Keywords

The experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2011-12 and 2012-13 to study the effect of split application of NPK on fertilizer use efficiency, nutrient availability and yield of hybrid rice in partially reclaimed salt affected soil at Student Instructional Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad, U.P. The experiment was laid out in RBD comprising of ten treatments with three replication as T1 control, T2 NPK (100% RDF) Recommended practices (RP), T3 NPK (100% RDF) as N 1/3(7DAT+MT+ PI) P and K basal, T4 NPK (100% RDF) N and K recommended P (3/4 B+1/3 PI), T5 NPK (100% RDF) N 1/3(7DAT+MT+ PI) K (3/4 B+1/3 PI) and P RP, T6 NPK (100% RDF) N 1/3(7DAT+MT+ PI) P and K 1/3 (B+MT+PI), T7 NPK (75 % RDF) N 1/3(7DAT+MT+ PI) P and K basal, T8 NPK (75% RDF) N and K RP and P 1/3 (B+MT+PI), T9 NPK (75% RDF) N and P RP and K 1/3 (B+MT+PI) and T10 NPK (75% RDF) N1/3 (7DAT+MT+PI) P and K1/3 ( B+MT+PI) the hybrid rice variety Arize-6444 was used for the experiment. The split application of NPK (100%RDF) N 1/3( 7DAT+MT+ PI) P and K 1/3 (B+MT+PI) produced highest growth parameters, yield attributing parameters grain (7.35 t ha-1), straw (9.70 t ha-1) yield and uptake of NPK (172.78, 39.04 and 153.68 kg ha-1) was significantly superior over the rest of all treatments. Significantly at par, yield attributes gain yield, nutrient and protein content and nutrient uptake were recorded by T10 (75% NPK-RDF with split application) and T2 (100% NPK-RDF applied as recommended practices). This way 25% NPK could be saved by spliting NPK without loosing yield.

Adolescence is a very crucial phase of life, where the individual copes with an unequalled rate of biological maturation and simultaneously face changes in his/her life in social, sexual, emotional and physical areas. In Adolescents age an individual earns so many new experiences on a daily basis. Such unfamiliar situations often result in new and possibly intense positive and negative emotional reactions. How successfully adolescents are able to cope with these situation demands resilience ability. An individual can enhance their levels of resilience ability which indicate adolescents who can easily find good ways of coping up with everyday difficulties. Therefore the present study was taken up to assess the influence of an intervention program to nurture resilience ability among selected adolescents. The present study was carried out in VIII phases. A total of 100 adolescents (both boys&girls) in the age group of 14-16 years were identified for the study after they were administered the resilience scales of Young and wagnild. These were further divided into experimental and control groups having 50 participants in each group. The experimental groups were exposed to an intervention program on resilience. The study concluded that, the intervention program had influenced the resilience dimension of the respondents in the experimental group.Keywords

Occupational stress is one of the major health hazards of the modem work place. Similarly stressful working condition have been linked to low efficacy, absenteeism and increased rates of accidents on and off the job. Therefore, present study was designed to see the efficacy of self-management techniques as intervention in reducing the level of perceived stress among nursing staff sample comprised of 40 high stress nursing staff (20 male & 20 female) with the mean age 23.6 from S.M.S. hospital of Jaipur city of Rajasthan. Psychosocial stress questionnaire by Srivastava and Singh (1991) and occupational stress index by Srivastava and Singh (1994) were administered. Pre and post-test design was employed to find out the significant differences between the mean score on perceived stress after introducing intervention program. Results revealed that main effects of groups, gender and treatment have turned out to be significant. Further joint effect of groups and treatment have yielded significant there by depicting the remarkable improvement of experimental groups from pre and post-test over control group in terms of stress reduction due to introducing Self-management techniques as intervention program.Keywords

Soft power is a new form of power, described as the ability to influence other behaviour or ability to shape the preferences of others in such a way that it leads to the achievement of the targeted purpose. In other words, soft power could be seen as the ability to use the power of attraction ability to direct the preference of others a kind of identification and attraction based referent power denoted by perceptions. Therefore, in the present study farmer perception has been selected an indicator soft power and its relationship with agricultural extension services. Present study was conducted on the 220 respondents in two districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh i.e., Varanasi and Mirzapur. Data were obtained on the basis of interview schedule. The findings of chi-square test indicated that there were no significant differences between most of the extension services provided by public or private sectors which mean famer perception towards public and private extension service were found to be different. Finally, the results indicated that in particular services private sector was found to be better than public sector services. Limitations and future research suggestions were also discussed.Keywords

We give a different formulation for describing maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space, 𝕃3, using the identification of 𝕃3 with ℂ×ℝ. Further we give a different proof for the singular Bjorling problem for the case of closed real analytic null curve. As an application, we show the existence of maximal surface which contains a given curve and has a special singularity.References
