Snakes are one of the most diverse vertebrates on the globe, mostly prefer arid zones. Nepal harbors a high unrecognized reptilian diversity. Information on the diversity and distribution of snakes in the western Nepal are derived from relatively from old literatures. This study updated the diversity and distribution of snakes from the Kaski district based on rescuing activities, field survey and literature review. Altogether 40 species of snake from five families were recorded in the Kaski district. The family Colubridae (70%) had the highest species diversity followed by Elapidae (12.5%), Viperidae (12.5%), Pythonidae (2.5 %), and Typhlopidae (2.5 %) respectively. Based on the IUCN global status of snake, 5 % are vulnerable, 5 % data deficient, 27.5 % are Least Concern and 62.5 % are Not Evaluated. Six species were found new distribution records in Kaski. Four species were the species listed on CITES II. Out of 40 species, 27.5% venomous (2.5 % were venomous but not fatal to human, 12.5% were neurotoxic, 12.5% were hemotoxic which are deadly venomous), 20% were weakly venomous and not fatal to human and 50 % were non-venomous. Habitat loss, nest destroyed, road-killed and meaningless killing by the negative perception of people was the most threat to snake in Kaski district.

Dragonfly and damselfly (Odonata) species diversity was studied in the Bor wildlife sanctuary from 2011 to 2018. A total of 72 species of odonates belonging to 8 families were recorded. The study adds three new species for the Vidarbha region. The highest number of odonates belonged to the family Libellulidae (31 species) followed by Coenagrionidae (15 species), and Aeshnidae (six species). Of the total, 30 species were very common, 18 were common, seven were frequent common, 11 rare and six very rare. Among all, six species were Data Deficient, Indothemis carnatica (Fabricius, 1798) is listed as Near Threatened and 64 were Least Concern, in IUCN red-list of threatened species. The observations support the value of the wildlife sanctuary area in providing valuable resources for Odonata.

The Impact

Communication through discussion and conversations is fundamental to human life; but when such discourse escapes the control of a teacher in the classroom, it becomes little more than chatter. This noise challenges teaching methods and the teaching stance with students. Yet, its impact on comprehension has rarely been studied. The aim of this literature review was to examine the research on the impact of classroom noise generated by chatter on students’ comprehension performance. We adopted the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metanalysis) guidelines to examine this literature. This review covered a 10-year period (papers written between 2009 and 2019), with nine experimental studies selected from the 2,954 papers screened. In 89% of these nine studies, there were significant comprehension differences on all tests, revealed when comprehension took place in a noisy environment due to chatter. This review indicated an essential need for a field survey to better understand the impact of chatter on comprehension. Other studies are recommended to highlight any correlation between measured chatter and student comprehension in a real classroom environment.

The Family

The theory-oriented article is based on the literature review and analysis related to family in the context of its social and educational functions as well as related to the child who is brought up and influenced by the family. The aim of the article is to discuss macro- and microsocial conditions affecting family and the shape of modern childhood. Both groups of factors/conditions overlap and create a micro world that is specific for each family. Identification and presentation of particular factors as well as their diagnosis should lay the foundations of assistance and support to the families threatened by malfunctioning. The cognitive value of the article is closely linked to its practical value – emphasising the importance of social, pedagogical and institutional assistance to the families who are not able to perform their social and educational functions.

We provide the first comprehensive data on the questionable distribution of the genus Pelophylax and the family Ranidae from Pakistan. Based on a literature review and two specimens of the genus from Tasp, Panjgur District in Pakistani Balochistan (USNM 26194–95), stored in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC, USA, we discuss the possible occurrence and affiliation of these frogs in the context of Central Asia. Our comparison shows that the nearest records of Pelophylax in relation to the Tasp specimens are reported from more than 280 km (air-line) away in Iran and Afghanistan, which are currently separated by hot and mostly desert environments. We suggest that possible surviving populations of this genus may still be present in Balochistan (Rakhshan River) or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Kabul River) Provinces of Pakistan. This would, however, need further field investigations.

Farming Efficiency

This study sought to develop a scale to measure the family farming efficiency of women-headed households. Likert, Edwards and Paul et al. method were employed to development of the scale. Six relevant dimensions and 154 statements were screened through literature review and discussions with experts. Statements were mailed to 130 judges in the agricultural extension other related fields and 60 were received back. Further, the “Relevancy Percentage” “Relevancy weightage” and “Mean Relevancy Score” were worked out. The final scale comprising of six dimensions and 66 statements was standardized for administration. The scale developed was administered to 30 respondents in the non-sample area for measuring family farming efficiency. The results revealed that the reliability coefficient and validity of the scale appeared 0.8925 and 0.94 respectively, which is higher than the standard value (0.70).This certitude the reliability and validity of the developed scale. Thus, the scale can be useful explicitly to measure the family farming efficiency of Women Headed Households.

Terminalia chebula Retz. commonly known as ‘Harar’ belongs to the family Combretaceae. It is found in deciduous forests throughout the greater part of India, China, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc. In India, it is distributed throughout the greater part except in arid zones. The fruits are common constituent of ‘Triphala’, capable of imparting youthful vitality and receptivity of mind and sense and are extensively used for clinical research, tanning and furniture purposes and also contain 1.73% nitrogen and 2.75% Calcium. The demand for its fruit has increased tremendously, because of its medicinal value; its fruits are sold at a price of ` 10-60 kg-1. However, the poor germination capacity, lack of natural regeneration and knowledge regarding its propagation are the limiting factors for its adoption in agroforestry systems. There is need of more productive planting stock with lower juvenile period and comparatively large fruit size.

There was shown the significance of leading risk factors for the development of adverse changes in the body, forming the high level of the morbidity rate in children: biological (the character of the course of pregnancy and parturition), social and environmental (diet, living and learning conditions, standards of living of the family, a culture of the healthcare), medical (effectiveness of preventive, health and therapeutic work in children’s groups). There was determined the necessity of a differentiated approach to the evaluation of the role and contribution of factors for groups of the various age.
