Research consistently indicates that parents of children with mental retardation report considerably more stress associated with child characteristics than parents with typically developing children. It is commonly believed that the adaptive functioning and problem behaviour of a child with mental retardation plays a significant role in the stress a parent experiences especially mothers. The present study examines maternal stress and adaptive behaviour of children with mental retardation and attempts to find out relationship among maternal stress in mothers with that of adaptive behaviour in children with mental retardation. Participants consisted of a purposively selected 60 mothers and their respective children with mental retardation. Mothers ranged in age from 26 to 40years, with an average age of 33years (SD=4.292) and their children with mental retardation ranged in age from 48 to 192months, with an average age of 114.767 months (SD=33.742). Maternal stress in mothers was assessed using the Family Interview for Stress and Coping in Mentally Retarded Section-I (FISC-MR-I). Adaptive and Problem Behaviour in children with mental retardation were assessed using the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) respectively. The results established a relation between maternal stress and adaptive behaviour of the child (r=-0.617), maternal stress and this correlation was found statistically significant. The specific mother related and child related demographics that are related to elevated maternal stress levels are discussed. The correlation among maternal stress scale domains and adaptive behaviour scale domains scales are also discussed.Keywords

Diversity and composition of tree species of secondary Dipterocarp hill forests in Chunati Wildlife Sanctuary of Chittagong was quantified through 37 sample plots of 20 m x 20 m in size taken randomly over the period of December 2012 to June 2013. A total of 993 individual trees having ≥5 cm dbh (671 trees ha-1) of 99 species belonging to 73 genera and 36 families were recorded from the forests of Chunati. The forest has diverse floristic resources that seemed from the Shannon Wiener's diversity index (3.353), Margalef's richness index (14.201) and Simpson's dominance index (0.090). Total basal area of tree species was 12.47 m2 ha-1, where Dipterocarpus turbinatus showed highest basal area (2.62 m2 ha-1) followed by Acacia auriculiformis (1.39 m2 ha-1 ). Importance Value Index (IVI) was found maximum (40.11) for Acacia auriculiformis followed by Tectona grandis (16.46) plantation species. On the other hand, importance value Index was highest for Dipterocarpus turbinatus (25.10) followed by Ficus hispida (19.76) for natural species.Keywords
