Vermicompost is very useful manure which is becoming popular day by day. However, its perception by the farmers is not yet assessed in the southwestern region of Bangladesh. The main objectives of this study were to determine the farmers’ perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost and to explore the relationship between selected characteristics of the farmers’ and their perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost. Data were collected using an interview schedule from randomly selected 60 respondents. Locale was three villages namely Lokhpur, Bollokhpur and Vobna under Fakirhat upazila of Bagerhat district. Faceto- face interview was conducted during 7 to 29 May, 2016. Farmers’ perception regarding the beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost was measured using 5- point Likert type scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and farmers’ perception index was calculated. Majority (66.7 percent) of the respondents had moderate perception while 18.3 percent and 15 percent of them had less and high perception, respectively, on the beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost. Among seven selected characteristics of the respondents, age showed a significant negative relationship with their perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost while training experience of the respondents showed a significant positive relationship with their overall perception. Thus, arrangement of training could pave the way of high perception of beneficial effects and limitations of vermicompost.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.5(1): 19-25, April 2018

The present study investigates the relationship between job involvement (JI) and central life interest (CLI) for a sample of automobile workers chosen from three organizational levels containing unskilled employees, skilled workmen and fore-men. Possible associations of job involvement and work as the«  Central Life Interest » with job levels in the occupational hierarchy, age of the individuals and the length of employment were also explored. The results disconfirmed the hypothesized positive relationship between JI and CLI. In fact a low but significant negative relationship was obtained between JI and CLI. Job levels, age and length of employment were found to hâve negligible influence on both JI and CLI. On the basis of the obtained results, directions for future research are indicated.

The major purposes of the study were to determine the extent of the problem faced by the farmers in bean cultivation and to explore the relationships between bean farmers’ selected characteristics with their problem faced. The study was conducted in four villages of two unions under Atghoria upazilla of Pabna District. Data were collected from a random sample of 106 bean farmers by using an interview schedule during 15 Dec, 2017 to 15 Jan, 2018. The highest proportion (71.70 percent) of the farmers faced medium overall problem in bean production, while 16.04 percent faced high and 12.26 percent faced low problem. Problem faced in non-availability of pesticides ranked 1st and this was followed by non-availability of fertilizers, lack of capital so on and least one lack of irrigation in bean cultivation ranked 28th. Correlation analysis indicated that education, training exposure, organizational participation, extension media contact and farmers’ knowledge had significant negative relationship with their problem faced. Age had significant positive relationship with their problem faced while family members, farm size, annual family income, bean cultivation area, and credit received by the farmers had no significant relationship with their problem faced. Overwhelming (87.74) majority of bean farmers faced medium to high problems therefore, it may be said that problem faced by the farmers in bean cultivation is a serious issue to be addressed to maximize bean production.Res.

The Relationship

The authors examine the too-much-of-a-good-thing effect (TMGT effect) in a model showing that extraversion has a curvilinear relationship with social acceptance and depression. A study of 371 freshmen in a Chinese university showed that extraversion had a curvilinear relationship with social acceptance, such that the relationship was significantly positive from lower to moderate levels of extraversion, but the positive relationship leveled off at higher levels of extraversion. Extraversion also had a curvilinear relationship with depression, such that the relationship was significantly negative from lower to moderate levels of extraversion, but the negative relationship leveled off at higher levels of extraversion. The study indicates that beyond a certain point, the beneficial effects of extraversion on socialization outcomes were diminished. That is, higher levels of extraversion were not associated with more positive socialization outcomes (though they were not associated with worse outcomes either) when extraversion exceeded a certain point. Implications of theory and practice, and limitations and directions for future research, are discussed.

The authors examined the extent to which changes in testosterone concentrations before competition would be associated with performance among elite male hockey players. Saliva samples were collected on 2 noncompetition days (baseline) and before 2 playoff games (1 home game, 1 away game). Individual performance was assessed by the coaching staff after each game. Results indicated that changes in testosterone before competition predicted performance, but this effect was influenced by game location. Unexpectedly, the authors found a significant negative relationship between a rise in testosterone and performance for the away game and a nonsignificant positive relationship for the home game. These findings indicate that game location should be considered in studies examining the neuroendocrine correlates of athletic competition.

Cell phone is an easy, fast and convenient device for communication. The main purpose of the study was to determine the extent of use of Cell Phone in receiving agricultural information and to explore the relationship between the selected characteristics of the farmers in using Cell Phone for receiving agricultural information. Data were obtained from 97 Cell Phone user farmers in selected village named Chorjamalpur of Boyra union under Singair upazila of Manikganj through face-to-face interview. Appropriate scales were developed in order to measure the concerned variables. Pearson Product Moment Correlation test was used to ascertain the relationship between each of the selected characteristics of the farmers with their use of Cell Phone for receiving agricultural information. The finding shows that 89.7 percent of the respondents had no use to low use of Cell Phone for receiving agricultural information and 10.3 percent of the respondents had medium use to high use of Cell Phone for receiving agricultural information. The finding clearly indicates the ignorance of the respondents about the use of Cell Phone for receiving agricultural information. Among 11 selected characteristics of the farmers, eight characteristics namely, education, land possession, effective farm size, annual family income, agricultural training exposure, organizational participation, innovativeness, cosmopoliteness showed significant and positive relationship with their use of Cell Phone. Problem confrontation of the farmers in using Cell Phone showed significant negative relationship with their use of Cell Phone for receiving agricultural information. But age of the farmers and farming experience of the farmers showed non significant relationship with the use of Cell Phone by the farmers.

AbstractWe examined the relationship between body size and pursuit success in the lizard Cnemidophorus uniparens. Using grasshoppers as prey in experimental feeding trials, we found a significant positive relationship between lizard body size and pursuit time. In addition, larger individuals were significantly more likely to be unsuccessful at capturing the grasshoppers. We also examined the relationship between the mean body size of Cnemidophorus populations and diet composition. We found a significant negative relationship between mean body size and the proportion of grasshoppers in the diet and a significant positive relationship between mean body size and the proportion of termites in the diet.

The Relationship

Two studies were conducted to determine whether an antecedent of ineffective communication, cognitive incongruence, is related to raised states of anxiety and to lower achievement. A response paradigm derived from Rogers' self theory was considered as a possible explanation of the frequently observed negative correlation between anxiety and achievement. It was hypothesized that there was a significant positive relationship between student/lecturer congruence and student performance with that lecturer, and that there was a significant negative relationship between student/lecturer congruence and student anxiety. The findings of both studies supported these hypotheses. The results lend support to the Rogers/Hogan paradigm as a potential explanation of the relationship between anxiety and achievement.
