This study examines the perception of farmers about current climate variability and compare that perception with respect to climate data over the last 30 years. It also assesses the evolution of forest cover and adaptation measures. It is based on a survey of farmers, interviews with officials of the forest administration and agriculture, and focus group.

There is a growing concern of mental health services related to clinical - school and educational institutions in the pursuit of the characterization of their clientele, to better direct their care arrangements. This article presents a study in NEAPSI - Study and Psychological Service of the University Center North Paulista - UNORP, featuring the clientele who sought psychological treatment in clinical- school in 2009-2014 through retrospective documentary methodology, query the hospital records and clinical screening.

In several private higher education courses increased enrollments has concentrated especially at night. In order to analyze the profile of students of Psychology research was held on the Campus of the Centro Universitário do Norte Paulista. 182 questionnaires were analyzed socio-demographic and identified that the average age of the students was 25.80 and the dominance of women (79), single women (76) and who work in addition to studying (72).

The greatest public health concern about water is directed to its ever increasing number of contaminants. Public distribution systems, though accessible only to a limited population, mainly make use of chemicals in the treatment processes. Such water treatment systems overlay burden on the developing nation’s financial resources. Moreover, reports states that such chemicals can cause severe health hazards. These points out the need for low-cost, replicable non-chemicals, which would be effective in the treatment of water contaminants.

A field study was undertaken at Kolar district of Srinivasapura taluk, to know the impact of standardized feed additives on reeling traits of silkworm hybrid, Bombyx mori L. PM × CSR2.

Field study was undertaken to know the impact of standardized feed additives on reeling traits of silkworm hybrid, Bombyx mori L. PM × CSR2. Silkworm hybrid were reared on mulberry leaves fortified with feed additives flour combination of horse gram + grain amaranthus (50:50) dusting on leaves lead to significantly longer filament length, higher cocoon filament weight, superior denier, lower sericin content, higher fibroin content and renditta, in chosen farms of three farmers each in selected five villages of Kolar district.

Among nine different flours of feed additives tested the silkworm hybrids CSR2 × CSR4 and ND7 × CSR2 (Jayalakshmi) in combination of Horse gram + Grain Amaranthus flour (50 : 50) recorded significantly maximum reeling traits, viz., higher per cent raw silk recovery (21.45, 21.41; 15.55, 15.48), per cent neatness (95.58,95.51; 91.25, 91.17), per cent cleanliness (97.45,97.36; 96.13, 96.05), lower sericin per cent (20.23, 20.38 p; 22.23, 22.29) and higher fibroin per cent (79.75, 79.61; 77.76, 77.69) respectively, when provided from fourth instar up to spinning in both hybrids.

The silkworm hybrids CSR2 × CSR4 and ND7 × CSR2 (Jayalakshmi) reared on mulberry shoots supplemented separately with dusting of nine different feed additives along with unsupplemented control maintained, showed that inclusion of 5g / 10 g flour of Horse gram + Grain Amaranthus (50 : 50) daily once in feeding schedule recorded significantly maximum cocoon weight, shell weight, pupal weight, rate of pupation and dry cocoon weight.

Purpose: Our aim was to identify what proportion of patients can achieve a satisfactory reduction with Bier’s block that can be treated non-operatively. Methods: All patients who received a Bier’s block in Emergency department in 2015 were identified using electronic patient databases. Results: 92% or 60 out of 65 patients had radiological improvement in their fracture position post-manipulation, 2 out of 5 patients had radiological improvement in fracture position continued to be managed non-operatively. 12 out of 65 patients receiving Bier’s block manipulation went on to need surgery.

Manashila, Haratala, and Somala are important arsenic compounds which are used in Ayurveda. Manashila is most popular among them. Manashila is commonly used in treating the diseases like Shwasa-Kasa, Agnimandya, Kshaya, Anaha, Jwara, Krimi, Visharoga, Raktavikara etc.Manashila is called as red arsenic with two molecules of Arsenic and two molecules of Sulphur (AS2S2). Manashila consumed without proper Shodhana causes Mandagni, Malabaddata, Ashmari and Mutra Krichra. Hence Shodhana of Manashila is essential.
