Abstract: Out of 439 villages in the study area an intensive sample study of agricultural land use of 44 sample villages has been taken up by obtaining data from unpublished revenue record i.e. Lal Kitabs. These sample villages account for ten per cent of the total number of villages representing 5.26 percent of the total land of the study area. Stratified Random sampling method has been used for taking the sample. Three village are taken for in depth study with the help of primary data. The work has proceeded two stages firstly whole of the study area is stratified into three categories of irrigation intensity, normally, low irrigation intensity area, moderate irrigation intensity areas and high irrigation intensity areas. The village Lohani from the category of low irrigation intensity; village Nandha and change from the category of moderate and high irrigation intensity respectively. Guar is the most dominant crop in this village it is considered as a fodder crop. Mostly it emerges as first and second ranking crop in crop combination. In total expenditure on various inputs per acre of Guar is Rs. 1818.2 on small farm, 1507.66 on medium, Rs. 1486 on large farms and 1469 on very large forms. Due to lack of water the marginal forms do not sow the Guar and they left the field as fallow land. The yield increases as the farm size increase but it not some with the cost of production. All size of farm do not use any type of insecticide and manure because Guar is also a green manure its leaves gave manure to the field so it do not require any fertilizers. but all size farms use H.Y.V seeds. They are paying low harvestery changes than Bajra as 538 to 750 per acre. Total returns as increases as increasing farm size.

Abstract: The review on Conditions affecting egg production in chickens aimed to collect and update available information about these conditions from clinical point of view which can help for better understanding. Egg production is a target of raising layer chicken flocks. Layer chicken flocks are breeders for fertile eggs (either broiler or laying hens breeders) or commercial eggs for human consumption. Egg production (quality and quantity) can affected by many Conditions including non-infectious (Bird, Managemental, Environmental factors) and infectious (Bacterial, Viral, Mycotic and Parasitic). It could be concluded that infectious or non-infectious causes resulting in severe economic losses. Prevention and control of such causes by improve management and sanitary conditions, prevention by vaccination for viral causes, proper antibiotic medication for bacterial causes will be resulted in improve and maximize condition of production.

Abstract: One of the basic and important objectives of the canal irrigation system is the delivery and distribution of water for irrigation among the water users. Due to the shortage of water in the system, the water is delivered to different parts of the canal system in rotation, i.e., using the ‘Rotational Programme of Channels’ (Gustafson and Reidinger, 1971). Supplies of irrigation water to the farmers have been awarded in the past by the system of 'warabandi' based on equitable and proportionate water allowance. Warabandi is a rotational and proportional method for equitable allocation of the available water in an irrigation system. The twin objectives of warabandi have 8 been high efficiency and equity in water use and both objectives are to be achieved and guaranteed by self-policing rotation system (Bandaragoda, 1998). Further, warabandi is agreed upon by concerned farmers/users and appropriate canal authority. Though this system of distribution is intended to be fair but the unpredictability of water supply is being faced by the users. The problem of water supply unpredictability arises due to little or no institutional control mechanism over the rotation and rationing of water based on non-market mechanism. It is also clearly evident that trade-off between hydro power generation and irrigation, reservoir factors and capacity factors contribute to the uncertain water supply (Gustafson and Reidinger, 1971). Presently, in Punjab warabandi system of canal water distribution and allocation among the water users is in operation. Further, mainly three types of warabandi are being used, namely: khuli–wari (open turn), panchayati-wari, and weekly-wari. Field staff of the Irrigation wing fixes the turn, duration and quantity of water for farmers. The basis for the distribution and allocation of water depends upon the size of the land holding, distance from the outlet (mogga), and certain other factors. That is the canal water distribution and allocation in Punjab has been carried out with little modifications in the warabandi system. Now attempt is being made to allocate and distribute water more scientifically through computerization of the distribution and allocation process.

Abstract: Among chemical industries in Nigeria, petroleum depots have been identified as large emitters of significant amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). They affect air quality and constitute serious health and environmental problems on the ecosystem. Air samples were collected over activated charcoal of 10-18 mesh, using a low volume air sampler. The sampler (Model: NEGRETTI 1000^tm) was placed at a human breathing height of 1.5m for a sampling period of 8 hours at seven different sampling locations as follows; Workshop area, Slop Tanks area, Gate 1, Tank Farm area, Gate 2, Otiyelu Village and Marketer’s Block. Desorption process was performed on the adsorbed activated charcoal using a solvent extraction method with carbon disulphide (CS₂) as solvent. The extracted solutions were subjected to Flame Ionization Detection analysis in a Gas Chromatograph (Model: HP 6890) using a capillary column HP 5MS with length, inner diameter and particle size set at (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm). The Gas Chromatograph was powered with ChemStation RevA09.01 software to determine the concentrations of each of the VOCs species present. The identified VOCs species emitted were characterized by toluene (52.84%), benzene (37.61%), xylene (5.67%), and ethyl benzene (3.88%). The observed concentrations uncovered the air tolerance limits set by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Diseases Registry (ATDRS) for both acute and chronic inhalations.

Abstract: This study showed that perennials gained dominance over annuals in oak forest as well as pine forest (Figure 1). Perennial have ability to conserve soil and with their extensive root systems of perennial grasses they also add more organic matter to the soil than annuals which can be more favorable for plant growth. Singh and Singh (1987) observed that annuals colonize and dominate the early stages of succession. Annuals to perennials species ratio are higher at primary successional site than climax stage. Species richness generally increases during secondary succession when environmental and edaphic conditions are favorable with low fluctuations.

Summary: Livestock provides a major source of disposable income for disadvantaged and marginal populations in developing countries, and provides a major entry point to fight against rural poverty. Among the livestock ruminants are mostly used as direct and indirect food source of human so that improving their production may solve food scarcity. Ruminants are restricted to grazing on low-quality forages, crop residues and agro-industrial by-products with very little or no concentrate diets, which adversely affect the animals in exhibiting their full production potential. So animal production can be increased by using feed additives like prebiotics probiotic and synbiotics. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host, mainly through the process of replacing or including beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. The most common genera that have been used and possess probiotic characteristics are the lactic acid bacteria, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. It is accepted that intake of probiotics contributes to the enhancement and maintenance of well-balanced intestinal micro flora. The improvements in productive performance of all animal species fed with probiotics are mostly due to the fact that probiotics promoted the metabolic processes of digestion and nutrient utilization. Many evidences support the use of these probiotics in increasing animal performance and health; such as increase growth rate, protect host from pathogen, increase digestibility and nutrient absorption, modulation of gut flora, production of antimicrobial substances and improve immunity. This feed additives are characterized by low pathogen to the host, resistance to low PH, can compete with the resident pathogen, non toxic to the host, normal inhabitant to the host and metabolically active. Strain identity is important to link a strain to a specific health effect.

Abstract: Objective: The Aim of the registry is to determine patient characteristics, practice patterns, and outcomes of AF in this region using registry's design, and finding if there is a gap between the results in the registry and the recent AF guidelines. Methods: 500 patients with AF (whatever its type) were studied in the period of one year, during emergency room admission. The registry recruited patients from 8 hospitals in 8 cardiac centers in the region of the delta of Egypt (Tanta, Shebin-Elkom, Damanhour, Banha, Mansoura, Zagazig, Kafr-Elsheikh and Cairo). Hospitals were chosen from different geographical locations and selected to represent different settings of care (academic and non-academic, general and specialized, public and private) in the delta. DEAF registry team developed the registry protocol and case report form (CRF) and appointed a coordinator for each participating cardiac center. Screening of AF cases in the ER was carried out by contacting ER doctors and the cardiologists in each cardiac center, any patient ≥18 years of age and had AF documented on a 12-lead ECG or rhythm strip, lasting >30 seconds. All the data about the AF cases were collected by the coordinator in the participating cardiac center. Results: 28.4% of our enrolled patients had heart failure, 51.4% patients were hypertensive and 31% patients were known to be diabetic. We found that 19% patients had rheumatic heart disease. And 24% patients had valvular heart disease (mitral or aortic heart disease). 33% patients had history of dyslipidemia, and finally 17% patients showed no obvious cause of AF. 30.4% patients had a history of coronary artery disease based on patients’ words, 10.8% patients had prior Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) while 17.2% patients had prior Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and 2.4% patients had prior Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG). 47% of the patients had past medical history of atrial fibrillation, of them 45% complained of palpitation, 19% dyspnea and the same chest pain. Conclusion: Our registry show that hypertension, coronary disease, and heart failure remain common comorbidities in our AF registry where hypertension account alone for about half the patients of atrial fibrillation. Rheumatic valvular heart disease, used to be an important underlying disease for the development of AF. Amiodarone is the commonest AAD used, while regarding rate control drugs, beta-blockers and digoxin were more often used than non-dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers. Lone AF still high 17% and that reflects that shortage in diagnostic tools in discovering some co-morbidities such as the obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract: Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle caused by the protozoan parasites including Babesia bovis, B. bigemina and B. divergens. Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, the principal vectors of B.bovis and B. bigemina. The major vector of B. divergens is Ixodes ricinus. There are other important vectors that can transmit these pathogens, including Haemaphysalis and other Rhipicephalus spp. Bovine babesiosis also known as red water, is the worldwide most important hemoparasitic diseases of cattle that causes significant morbidity and mortality. They are widespread in tropical and subtropical areas including Ethiopia and are vectored by one host tick Rhipicephalus species and transmission is manly transovarial. During the tick bite, sporozoites are injected into the host and directly infect red blood cells. Babesia produces acute disease by hemolysis and circulatory disturbance mechanism. The rapidly dividing parasites in the red cells produce rapid destruction of the erythrocytes with accompanying haemoglobinaemia, haemoglobinuria and fever. Early detection of blood parasites is highly beneficial active prevention and control of Babesiosis and it is achieved by three main methods: immunization, chemoprophylaxis and vector control. Imidocarb is the drug of choice for bovine babesiosis. The use of genetically resistant cattle such as B. indicus is proposed as sustainable approach to decrease the incidence of disease.

Abstract: Generally, people, students inclusive, bring a diverse set of interpersonal problems (social avoidance, non-assertiveness, intrusiveness, over-accommodation, vindictiveness, coldness and self-sacrifice) to their social interactions. These interpersonal problems are thought to be trait patterns that may be potential sources of danger for functional social encounters and general wellbeing. In Nigeria, some negative consequences of interpersonal problems include intergroup distrust, aggression, school bullying, hate speech, ethnic conflict, social intolerance and prejudice. Thus, there is need to understand the psychosocial factors that impinge on interpersonal problems of university students. Hence, this study investigated the extent to which self-concept moderated the influence of emotional intelligence on interpersonal problems among 450 students (male=232, female=218) within the age range of 18 and 35 in a Nigerian University. The study concluded that emotional intelligence, self-concept and value preferences are psychosocial resources that could be adopted when designing intervention to address interpersonal problems among undergraduates. Results showed that self-concept moderated the roles of trait emotional intelligence on overall interpersonal problems and the dimensions of interpersonal problems. In order to promote effective social functioning and general wellbeing, it is recommended that stakeholders concerned with students’ wellbeing should inculcate these psychosocial factors into the designing of interventions aimed at punctuating interpersonal problems.
