This study was conducted to guide the prioritisation of efforts to manage Cryptosporidum contamination of drinking water supplies in Trinidad, W.I. The main objective was to investigate the relative importance of three main types of sources of Cryptosporidium oocysts: urban, agriculture and wildlife. Weekly surface water samples were collected from 19 sites distributed among three watersheds, and examined for the presence of oocysts. A stratified random sampling design was used with each watershed representing one of the three main sources of oocysts listed above. Results showed a significant association between watershed and the occurrence of positive samples (χ2=16.523, d.f. =2, p = 0.000), indicating that land use influenced the presence of oocysts. Urban and forested lands were the two most important sources of oocysts. There was no apparent association between agriculture and the presence of oocysts, and there was no significant difference between the percentage of positive samples at sites below agricultural facilities and sites not associated with agriculture within a single watershed (χ2=2.45, d.f. =1, p = 0.117). We conclude that urban and wildlife are the main types of sources of Cryptosporidium contamination of surface water, whereas the contribution of agriculture is minor.

Demonetisation as an initiative has brought substantial repercussions in Indian economy. Demonetisation had affected almost all the sections of the society. This paper aims to develop an understanding about the process of demonetisation in Indian context and attempts to compare the positive and negative effects of demonetisation across the categories of teaching and non-teaching staff by taking a case study of Bhopal School of Social Sciences. Proportionate stratified random sampling was utilised for the purpose of study with employees falling into two strata. The paper presents the problems faced and perspective developed by the employees in academia in Bhopal during the course of demonetisation and also provides an outlook of what got presented by media and how it differed in reality.

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine the predictability level of academic procrastination based on students’ metacognitive beliefs at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS), Iran. OBJECTIVE Determine the predictability level of academic procrastination based on students’ metacognitive beliefs at Kermanshah University of Medices (KUMS), Iran.cal Scien METHODS Materials and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed on 300 students selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected using PASS by Solomon and Rothblum (1984) and Mc0-30 by Wells and Cartwright-Hatton. Data analysis was carried out using Pearson’s correlation-coefficient and regression analysis. RESULTS Results: A negative significant correlation was observed between the subscale of positive beliefs of concern with academic procrastination (r=-0.16; P<0.05). In addition, the metacognitive beliefs of the participants predicted 10% of academic procrastination. The component of positive metacognitive beliefs with the beta value of -0.45 negatively and significantly predicted the students’ academic procrastination, whereas the component of negative metacognitive beliefs with the beta value of 0.42 positively and significantly predicted the students’ academic procrastination (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: The obtained results had implications for the better understanding of academic procrastination and using academic interventions for its correction.

The present study was carried out in the purposively selected Marwar region of Rajasthan. A multistage stratified random sampling design was used to select the districts, blocks, villages and sample households. A sample of 240 households was selected for the present study. Data were collected personally through a well structured and pre-tested interview schedule. It was found that majority of the households (66.25%) were initially providing self medication using traditional practices and in cases of severity of disease/ailment, village quack was consulted. Vaccination of sheep was followed in only 48.75 per cent of the selected households. In addition, in only 36 households (31.25%) the sick animals were isolated from the flock. A variety of traditional practices were observed being followed for treatment of various ailments and diseases of the goat and sheep with the use of locally available material, herbs, etc.

One Step

<p>Moral principles are perpetually of immense significance in human society. Kohlberg has been recognized in the scholar world as the forerunner in identifying moral levels. Though subjective, his six levels of morality set the platform for other researchers to look deeply into it across many parameters. Later on, attempts were also made to measure morality quantitatively. Defining Issues Test (DIT) is one of the most recognized one. Studies went one step deeper with professional ethics being considered as a component of general morality. The challenge was that, while measuring ethics, a universal tool seemed to be unfair to judge different professionals. Moreover, in most cases, code of conducts, instead of morality, was the platform to measure Ethics. Construction-related Moral-judgment Test (CMT) was one of few newly developed tools to measure professional ethics, with ‘construction’ in this case being the profession. This study customized CMT, specific to architects in the context of Malaysia, but adopted Kohlberg’s moral levels as the platform to judge morality, instead of measuring ethical level on the basis of practicing codes of conducts in the profession. Investigating on a sample of 135 young architects around Malaysia selected through stratified random sampling, the study found some implicit interesting factors that emerged. It showed that working experience might be strongly correlated with increasing level of morality, but at young age, it might show a different direction in the curve.</p>
