Khyade, Vivekanand V. Khyade and Amar H. Kadare#1-5#1.ISCA-IVC-2014-01AFS-11.pdf#The present study was carried out for the purpose to know the effect of acetone extractives of stem of Oroxylumindicumon the cocoon characters; silk filament characters and esterase enzyme activity of silk worm Bombyxmori(L.) belong to the Race of PM x CSR2. The soxhletation was followed for the obtaining acetone extractive of bark of Oroxylumindicum (L). Three concentrations (5ppm; 10ppm and 20ppm) of extractive were prepared. The fifth instar larvae were utilized for the experimentation. At zero after last but the first ecdysis, the larvae fifth instar were dividedinto five groups (each with hundred individuals) (Untreated control; Acetone treated control; 5ppm extractive; 10ppm extractive and 20ppm extractive). Ten microliters of each concentration of extractives were topically applied to respective group to the individual larva at forty eight hours of age. The larvae were maintained through standard method of rearings. Ten larvae from each group were utilized for analysis of electrophoretic esterase pattern on fifth day. The silk worms were sacrificed,haemolymphand silk gland samples were isolated and analyzed by using 7.5% of native gel electrophoresis. Acetone extractives of O.indicum at 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm concentrations recorded maximum cocoon weight (1.95,1.84,1.76 gm), shell weight (0.40, 0.35, 0.33gm), pupal weight (1.55, 1.49,1.43). All concentrations of the bark extract of O.indicum recorded higher cocoon, shell, and pupal weight than the control (untreated and acetone treated). Increase in the concentration of Oroxylum extract used for topical application was found reflected into improvement in the weight of cocoon shell followed by the shell ratio and denier scale of silk filament. Efficient use of acetone herbal extractives, likeOroxylumindicum (L) may open a new avenue in the silk yield.

Pusa Jaikisan#Trivedi Neha and Dubey Ashutosh#16-19#3.ISCA-IVC-2014-03BS-08.pdf#In the present work an efficient regeneration protocol has been established for mustard (Brassica juncea var Pusa Jaikisan) using hypocotyls of in vitro grown seedlings for callus induction and multiple shoot induction. Different concentrations of phytohormones, auxin (NAA: Naphthalene acetic acid) and cytokinins (BAP: Benzylaminopurine) were used. For callus induction and plant regeneration, the MS medium was supplemented with 3% sucrose and BAP (6-benzylamino purine) and NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) at different concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mg/L. About 91.6-100% formation of callus from hypocotyls explants were observed in the MS media supplemented with BAP at 0.5-1.0 mg/L + NAA at 0.5-1.0 mg/L. In these conditions, the explants also produce more number of shoots ranging from 7 to 20 shootlets/explant. It was also observed that at MS medium with BPA at 2.0-2.5 mg/L + NAA at 0.5 mg/L, all the explants (100%) produced callus but shoot induction was found to be very less and about 8.3-33.3% explants showed shoot formation with as less as 1-2 shootlets/explant. This protocol can be further explored for transformation of mustard for incorporation of specific genetic traits for improvement of crops.

Data from fifty-three subject were examined; of which 32 were male the ages of the samples were similar in both sexes. The data source was 3D CBCT volumetric data from the archives of the School of Dental Sciences, HUSM. The tooth size (mesio-distal width), arch length, arch perimeter, inter-canine, inter-first premolar, inter-second premolar and inter-molar widths were measured and recorded from the 3D CBCT of both maxilla and mandibular arches. Gender differences and changes associated with age were assessed. Regression analyses were used to examine the influence of age and gender on the tooth size and arch perimeters. Principal component analysis was carried out for the measurements of each arch in males and females samples. The tooth size of the right and left side were similar in the sample except the second premolars where the right side tooth were significantly larger than its counterpart (p=0.007) but with smaller differences (0.2mm to 0.08mm). Largest variation in the tooth size were found in the upper lateral, second premolars and lower lateral incisors in men whereas the upper canine and lower incisors in the women. Tooth size of the upper and lower canine showed the largest variation of sexual dimorphism. For the Arch dimension, the greatest variation was found in the inter-second premolar width of the upper arch followed by inter canine distance, and the inter-canine distance of the lower arch.
#Practice of Dowry and Domestic Violence#Rawal Priyanka and Singh Jyoti#95-98#17.ISCA-IVC-2014-09FMS-05.pdf#Marriage is an auspicious ceremony which unites two bodies’ two souls. It’s a lifelong bonding of one man and one woman but to the great extent, the major problem is of "dowry culture” in our society. Demand of dowry is a major problem in Indian marriages; it is a deep rooted social evil. As we are living in the 21st century but the truth still persists that the women in our society has been ill-treated. After or before marriage she has bereft of her own identity and looked upon to her family members or on husband for basic necessities. This study defines the relation between domestic violence and dowry demands. Forty cases of dowry related domestic violence were studied here from western UP, India. Most of the women in this study experienced dowry related domestic violence got married in their early age 52.5%, from rural background (55%), have a lower household income (55% cases) and not working (92.5%). Majority of cases reported in the early years of marriage (55%), and they were from lower educational background. The result of this study indicates that Economic empowerment, together with higher education and modified cultural norms may protect the women from such type of social evil.

The review of literature has highlighted that there exist a number of “theme restaurant” outside India. Few, such types of restaurants were found in India too. The colonial theme reflecting the British era of Kolkata was yet not found in India and specially in Vadodara which inspired the designer to undertake the present design project with the objectives of a).Identifying the famous historical colonial monuments of British era in Kolkatta. b).Studying the interior features used in the selected colonial monuments of the British era of Kolkatta city. The observation sheet was used to gather the details for developing case studies on the existing interior features of the monuments. The findings of the case studies highlighted that the colonial monuments were having white colored walls. The existing floors were made up of wood and in majority of areas it was made up of marble and granite with geometrical pattern in them. The walls of the monuments were having mouldings. In the name of furnishings and lightings, the lights were replaced by the new lights and there were no 7furnishings. The monuments had chairs, tables, cabinets, book shelf and benches as prominent furniture. The furniture were made up of polished mahogany wood. The ceiling was of Mahogany wood and in some of the monuments, it was of cement with square and rectangular shapes. The findings of the present case study would serve as a valuable reference material for developing historical design projects and other design projects in general. While promoting a base to design other new interiors it would also assist to create the same in other commercial as well as residential interiors.
#Family, Community and Consumer Research Use of Stimulus by Advertisers on Food Products for Children#Veerkumar V. and Jaiswal N.#108-111#19.ISCA-IVC-2014-10FCCS-07.pdf#Advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry with one main goal: persuading people to buy products.Advertisers present their products in the most appealing way by using celebrities to endorse a product. This increases children's liking for a product children are targeted just as any other market, and, like adults, are subject to particular techniques used by advertisers to enhance their brands. Thus, to identify the stimulus utilized in advertisements enforcing the purchases made for the child into the family, the present study was undertaken. The unit of enquiry were the mothers and their children, 144 each in number belonging to different families. the data was collected through interview schedule which concerned information on the stimulus utilized in the advertisements targeted on children.  Stimulus for the present study were the elements used in the advertisements to attract children such as cartoon characters, celebrity endorsements, emotional appeals etc. The findings revealed that majority of children liked the advertisement of “Health Drink A” because of the qualitative aspects. Similarly the advertisement of “Milk Product A” appealed because of the qualitative aspects used in the advertisement. the advertisements for biscuits also appealed to the children because of the “Qualitative aspect” used as a stimulus in the advertisement. Amongst the advertisements related to chocolates i.e. “Choc I” and “Choc D” was found to induce demand for purchase because of “Qualitative aspects”. “Qualitative aspects” was the stimulus which influenced the demand for the purchase of most of the products. The findings of the study will help the parents and school authorities to create awareness amongst the children for avoiding the negative persuasion of advertisements.

Eighty one young male soccer players of the city of Kota Bharu in Kelantan province of Malaysia, in the age range of 18.6 to 20.9 years, volunteered as participants. They were assessed with transient anxiety; simple and complexreaction ability; motor coordination; psychobiological measures of tonic and phasic skin conductance activity; assessment of muscle potentiality and soccer agility and soccer juggling skill as measure of pre-intervention analyses.  Thereafter, they were randomly and equally categorized into three groups; viz. Group A (N = 27), i.e. control group who didn’t receive any intervention; Group B(N = 27) referred to as the Experimental Group I, who received Abbreviated Progressive Muscle Relaxation or APMR andGroup C (N = 27), hereafter the Experimental Group II, who received active relaxation training. Both of the interventions were introduced to the respective group following standardize protocol (20 minutes/day; 2 days/week for12 weeks). Mid-term analyses (on all of the parameters of pre-intervention analyses were repeated) were done six weeks after the introduction of intervention sessions. Thereafter interventions continued following the similar protocol for six more weeks. Post-intervention analyses following similar analyses protocols were done on all of the participants, and the findings revealed that both APMR and active relaxation training had beneficial impacts on enhancement in autonomic adaptation, whereas compared to active relaxation training, APMR had relatively better beneficial impacts on the level of coordination performancesof the soccer players. Furthermore, due to enhanced coordination performances, significant improvement in soccer juggling performance and in soccer agility was observed in the players who received APMR training.
#Altered reaction ability as a Function of Enhancement in Cortical Activation#Soumendra Saha, Srilekha Saha, Nurfarah Ezzaty Binti Mohd Zahir and Naresh Bhaskar Raj#130-136#23.ISCA-IVC-2014-15PESS-06.pdf#The present study aims at understanding relationships between different psychological parameters in explaining soccer performance outcome. Attempts have been made to realize the relative significance of perceptual-motor skills influencing relevant psychological, physiological factors required for achievement of performance excellence. One-hundred seventy-six young soccer players living in Kelantan province of Malaysia participated in this study. Regression analyses were done to identify in-depth relationship between the psychological and psychomotor processes with psychobiological autonomic arousal modulation capacity of the players, which would determine higher-order cortical activation in the soccer players. These analyses were associated with performance analyses pertaining to skilful soccer performance. Psychomotor and autonomic processes involved in differential levels of soccer participation and performance were verified in accordance with the level of cortical activation. Generalised lack in motor coordination, delayed movement timing as well as faster reaction ability along with adequate autonomic response habituation were viewed as the most significant intervening variables explaining cortical activation observed in the soccer players.
#Ecology, Diversity, and Abundance of Macrobenthic Crustaceans in Cochin Estuary, India#P. N. Geetha and Bijoy Nandan S.#137-148#24.ISCA-lVC-2014-2AVFS-03.pdf#Crustaceans that filter plankton or bacteria from the water are common and diversified in estuarine environments. Other crustaceans are active predators or scavenge nutrients from detritus. A few are adapted to high salinity and are parasitic or sessile, hatching young that resemble miniature adults; others go through larval stages. This study examined the diversity and ecology of macrobenthic crustaceans from selected stations in Cochin estuary, Kerala. Field sampling conducted from June 2009 to May 2011 on monthly basis. The major crustaceans were amphipods, tanaids, isopods, insects, decapods, and acarina. Corophium volutator and Cirolana fluviatilis were the dominant amphipod and isopod species, respectively. Tanais philetaerus Stebbing was the dominant tanaid species. The crab species Halicarcinus messor was the dominant decapod and Neumania spp. (water mite) were the major Acaridae. Chironomid larvae were the most abundant insects. The temperature and pH of the sediments and benthic waters varied seasonally, and the dissolved oxygen content of the latter greatly influenced the diversity and abundance. The spatial abundance of the crustaceans varied between the stations, with a low at Station 8 (80 no/m2) and a high at Station 5 (9733 no/m2). The seasonal abundance was least (182 no/m2) during the pre-monsoon season of 2011, and maximum (7935 no/m2) in the post-monsoon season in 2009–10. The numerical abundance varied between the three zones of the estuary, with the maximum mean abundance found in the middle region (4452 no/m2), followed by the southern (2582 no/m2) and northern (1157 no/m2) regions. The crustacean abundance fell remarkably between the first (3705 no/m2) and second (1674 no/m2) years. The numerical abundance was highest in the region of the estuary with high salinity, a moderate pH, and a high percentage of silt and clay.
