One of the main problems they face is how to deal with anxiety especially study anxiety, which in turn affect their adjustment to college (Vitasari, Wahab, Othman, Herawan and Sinnadurai, 2010). Hence, the present study was done to nd the differences in Test anxiety and Educational adjustment of the Engineering students and arts students and to nd the relationship between them. Using purposive sampling, 70 students [35 arts and 35 engineering] were selected. Test Anxiety Scale and Educational Adjustment sub-scale of the Adjustment inventory for college students by Sinha and Singh were the tools used. It was found that None of the students had Excellent Education Adjustment. 50% of the sample had Unsatisfactory Educational Adjustment and 11% of the sample had very unsatisfactory adjustment. The mean differences in Educational adjustment (t= 0.248) and Test Anxiety (t= 0.635) of the Engineering and Arts students was not statistically signicant. Very High Anxiety was present in 7% of the samples and 13% had High Anxiety. Moderate Anxiety was found in 40% and low Anxiety in 4% of the sample.

Background: The study aimed to assess the knowledge of partograph recording and interpretation, partograph utilization and documentation status in the district. Methods: A retrospective study of compiled partographs during the last five years (2013-2017) was conducted to assess the documentation status. This was followed by an intervention study conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. Pretest was conducted to obtain the baseline scores. An intervention in the form educational session on partograph recording and interpretation was conducted which was followed by administration of post-test to obtain the end-line scores. The mean differences in the knowledge scores were compared using paired sample T-test. Results: Over one-third (37.5%) of the participants reported lack of refresher courses as the key challenge in use of partographs and only 9.6% of the partographs were found to be complete. Majority (80.4%) of them had a poor level of knowledge during the pre-test, which reduced to 7.1% after the intervention. Paired sample T-test detected significant difference in the mean knowledge scores between the pretest and the post test. Conclusion: Only 54% of the total deliveries were monitored using a partograph and over 90% of these partographs were incomplete. Majority of the participants had a poor level of knowledge during the pre-test.

Purpose: We compared the performance and usability of the Fundus Automated Perimetry (FAP) and Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) in patients with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and healthy subjects. Materials and methods: A total of 60 participants, divided in three groups of 20, glaucoma (POAG), ocular hypertension (OHT), and controls group, underwent a HFA test 24-2 SITA standard and a FAP test 24-2 ZEST sequence, in randomized order. The mean differences between perimeters of mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD) were correlated using the t-test and the Bland–Altman plot while execution time, Glaucoma Staging System 2 (GSS2), Hodapp–Parrish–Anderson staging system, localization of the defect, false positives (FP), and false negatives (FN) were compared with t-test analysis. Usability was measured through answers of a dedicated questionnaire. Results: MD’s difference was higher for FAP than HFA: OHT −2.20 ± 1.33 dB ( p < 0.001), POAG −2.00 ± 1.66 dB ( p < 0.001), and controls −1.08 ± 1.43 dB ( p < 0.001). PSD’s difference was higher for FAP than HFA: OHT 0.85 ± 1.16 dB ( p < 0.001), POAG 0.78 ± 2.32 dB ( p = 0.043), and controls 0.49 ± 1.15 dB ( p < 0.001). GSS2’s difference showed that FAP found more severe defects than HFA. Exams duration was longer for FAP versus HFA: in OHT 363 s versus 301 s, in POAG 494 s versus 362 s, and in controls 360 s versus 277 s. For FN and FP, there were no statistically significant differences. The 77% of all subjects preferred FAP to HFA test. Conclusion: Considering MD and GSS2 classification, FAP finds more severe defects. Moreover, although FAP duration is longer, this method is preferred by most of the patients.

The Family

In India, the land of culture and unity, culture and unity are well manifested in the structure of society, indeed in the smaller unit of a society i.e. family. A family is a set of human beings related to each other in a non-professional manner, giving rise to a concrete cohesion within the family. Love, care, and affection are the most prominent human values, which are responsible for maintaining these bonds of relationships within a family. Typically, a nuclear family may be conceived as a unit consisting of a couple, children, and grandparents, and pets. In India however, there exists a special kind of family structure that really is quite vivid in the way it manages to handle and keep intact the human relations. This special kind of family structure is Joint Family System. A joint family is a collection of more than one, nuclear families that are interconnected by blood relations or marital relations. All the members, regardless of which particular nuclear family (within that joint family) they belong to, live together and share happiness, grief, and virtually every kind of problem and joy together. The joint family in itself simulates a typical view of our multi-cultural, multi-lingual, yet tightly intertwined Indian society.
