Kolkata -700019,  West Bengal, India<#LINE#>27/5/2016<#LINE#>1/6/2016<#LINE#>Fifty paddy genotypes along with four tolerant and three susceptible checks were assessed for study of genetic correlation and path analysis between carbohydrate components of stem viz. total carbohydrate, non structural carbohydrate (NSC), starch and soluble sugar contents with survival% both in before and after submergence for ten days old seedlings and four days of complete submergence under drum and pot screening method. Genotype like Mahananda exhibited highest amount of NSC % of stem both in before & after submergence with 80% of survival. For the soluble sugar, sucrose% was higher among other components viz. glucose and fructose. Bivariate analysis of simple genetic correlation showed that all the four characters both in before and after submergence are significantly correlated with survival% at 0.01 and 0.05 probability level respectively. Genetic correlation among soluble sugars components of stem was significantly positive with survival % both in before and after submergence. Path analysis showed that it was only non structural carbohydrate %, soluble sugar % and starch % of stem after submergence has positive direct effect on survival%. Soluble sugar % has positive direct effect on survival both in before and after submergence. Total carbohydrate % of stem both in before and after submergence has negative effect on survival. Retention of higher NSC % after submergence would be the one of the most important criteria for better regeneration after submergence. Selection of specific characters such as NSC % and soluble sugar % of stem in pre vegetative stage will be the key to biochemical screening for submergence tolerance in rice.<#LINE#>Das. K.

In the field of agriculture, sustainability is the ultimate goal. Taking this in consideration it is very important to access the biosafety of insecticides against natural enemies as chemical pesticides play a major role in our Indian agriculture. This study was conducted with Fipronil 80WG, chlorpyriphos 20EC, dimethoate 30EC and NSKE 5% to study their biosafety against Trichogrammachilonis Ishii,Chrysoperlacarnea Stephens and Apisceranaindica Fabricus. Results indicated that, NSKE 5% was safe to T. chilonis with higher rate of parasitization (92.6%) and emergence (94.1%) followed by fipronil 80WG @ 40 and 50g a.i.ha-1 which recorded 80% egg parasitization and adult emergence. NSKE 5% had maximum Chrysoperlaegg hatchability of 88.75%. Fipronil 80WG @ 50 and 40g a.i.ha-1 had minimal negative effect on eggs of Chrysoperla, 48HAT the hatchability was 80 and 82.5%, respectively. NSKE 5% recorded least toxicity to bees with a mortality of 10% at 24HAT. Fipronil 80WG @ 40 and 50g a.i.ha-1 recorded the mortality of 50% over control. NSKE 5% and fipronil 80WG were superior in their safety over conventional insecticide, chlorpyriphos 20EC @ 200g a.i.ha-1 and dimethoate 30EC @ 375g a.i.ha-1.<#LINE#>Dhaliwal G.S., Dhawan A.K. and Singh R.

The genotoxicity of chlordecone was evaluated through micronucleus test in peripheral erythrocytes of Etroplus maculatus. Chlordecone at sublethal concentration (3.5&#956;g/ l) was exposed to fish for 24, 72 and 96 h durations along with the control groups. The results showed that in vivo chlordecone exposure significantly increase the incidence of micronucleus formation in erythrocytes of fish. In the control groups, no nuclear abnormalities were observed, whereas in chlordecone-exposed groups showed nuclear aberrations such as formation of micronucleus together with blebbed, notched, lobed and irregular nuclei. The changes were found to be positively correlated to the duration of exposure. The present data clearly demonstrated that chlordecone is genotoxic at sublethal concentration in cichlid fish, Etroplus maculatus.<#LINE#>U.S. EPA.@IRIS Toxicological Review of Chlordecone (Kepone) (External Review Draft).@U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/635/R-07/004.@Yes$Asifa K.P., Balakrishnan V. and Chitra K.C.

The rise in cardiovascular diseases reflects a significant change in diet habits worldwide as a result of industrialisation and globalisation of food market. A total of 100 household women was selected from the urban areas of Coimbatore to assess the heart health and associate with the pattern of food intake for foods rich in omega three fatty acids. A total of six modules were designed to impart education among the study participants which are heart friendly guidelines, healthy food choices, heart friendly recipes, healthy heart, Omega 3 fatty acids and lifestyle management. A checklist was designed comprising Omega 3 fatty acid food frequency record in order to know the impact of education among the study participants. The study participants when assessed at pre and post education on omega 3 fatty acids and cardiac health had a positive impact. Awareness is the vital need of the hour and it emphasizes the awareness and behavioural modification among the population especially the younger groups. Omega 3 fatty acids consumption counteracts the negative associations between fatness and cardiovascular disease risk factors in young overweight and obese adults. A statistically significant decrease in Low Density Lipoprotein and Very Low Density Lipoprotein was reported among the young household women.<#LINE#>Kamili M.A., Dar I.H., Wazir H.S. and Hussain S.

With the passage of time, Internet of Things has grown, and is continuously growing. With this it has become a necessity of each individual’s life. Little they are aware of the term itself, especially people in Pakistan. This research highlights how IoT is controlling everyone in some way or the other, but most of the Pakistanis have no recognition of using IoT in their devices while foreign users do. It also talks about security, a major challenge for the technology. The study analyzes a purpose built survey that compares local and foreign users on the awareness level and attitude with regards to IoT itself. The results conclude that most of the local participants are somehow using IoT technology but did not know that these are part of IoT. The survey also proves how all the users are dependent on IoT and would prefer using advanced form of IoT in future. All the participants, be they local or foreign, would like to have IoT in their lives if the issue of security is eliminated.<#LINE#>Morgan J.

Chia gel can be easily extracted and have great potential in food product development. The gelling of the seeds as combination of soluble and insoluble fibre slow the conversions of starches into sugars when eaten. The swelling and gelling of the seeds also helps with digestion through the colon. The seed contain from 25% to 40% oil with 60% of comprising omega-3 Alpha Linolinic Acid and 20% of omega-6 Linoleic Acid. Chia, the richest plant source of complete protein and packed with anti-oxidants, great for banishing free radicals. The tiny seed good aids for digestion, especially in the hotter climates and reduces body temperature, also assist in controlling the appetite and regulating blood sugar levels. Chia means strength and powerful nutritional punch, are loaded with fiber, protein, fat and various micronutrients. Due to these properties, nutritive and physiochemical characteristics of chia was analysed. A common dosage recommendation is 20 grams of soaked chia seeds twice per day.<#LINE#>Illian T.G., Casey J.C. and Bishop P.A.

Climate change is long-term changes in weather patterns that characterize the changes in climate around the world. It is projected to have significant impacts on conditions affecting fauna, including temperature, precipitation and glacial run off that reduces production of agriculture which adversely affects faunal diversity directly. Animal migrations are important to the healthy function of many ecosystems.  An impact of climate change on migratory species is a challenge, particularly with endangered species, which are subject to many other pressures. The emerging risks associated with climate change are the outcomes of physical processes that caused by human activities. Climate change has the potential to cause immense biodiversity loss, affecting both individual species and their ecosystems that support economic growth and human well-being. It is difficult to predict the overall result of climate changes on animal and plant kingdom.  This realization should bring moral responsibilities, including responsibilities to reflect upon and change energy policies that inflict harm on the vulnerable sections of humanity in the present as also future generations.<#LINE#>I.P.C.C (2007).@Climate change the physical science basis.@Contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment, Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.@Yes$Southwood T.R.E.

Postcolonialism means ongoing issues and debates between East and West since the colonial process started.  It attempts to examine and analyse the aftermath of colonization ; that of restoring the identity of the Independent  oriental nations by removing misconceptions about the orientals. It includes literature of the nations such as – Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Kenya, India, Pakistan, Jamaica and more countries which were once colonized by British. These countries are also called Third World Countries. Marxism and Poststructuralism have been a major influence on the thinkers from Fanon to Gayatri Spivak.

It is also known for its medicinal value and is widely used as folk medicine around the world. The seed, leaves, fruit and bark of P. guajava tree have been traditionally used for a long time for its medicinal uses that are still in use today. P. guajava is known for its antioxidant, analgesic & anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, hepatoprotective, antidiarrheal, anti-diabetic, anti- cancer activity, antimicrobial and antipyretic properties. Scurvy is a condition (or rather a state)of the human body that occurs due to dietary deficiency of vitamin C, which is primarily the main cause. Chronic malnutrition is an predisposing factor and patients who are suffering from it are the main targets and are at a potential risk . The primates lack the enzymes required to synthesize vitamin C from its precursor. And thus theyhave to supplement Vitamin from exogenous dietary sources to fulfill their needs. Naturally occurring leaves of Psidiumguajavacan be used as a potential supplement in the treatment of scurvy. The Leaves of this plant provides the all in one treatment of Scurvy. This Myrtaceae fruit bearing plants are an interesting group offering definite opportunities for future development of excellent natural remedies one can get for treatment of variety of diseases.<#LINE#>Joseph Baby and M.
