To investigate the effects of environmental factors on tulip (Tulipa sp.) cultivars in the plains of West Bengal, a field experiment was conducted with ten tulip cultivars, considered as ten treatments (T) (T1=Apeldorn, T2=Maureen, T3=Holland Cich, T4=Day Dream, T5=Pussima Design, T6=Avignon, T7=Roi-du-midi, T8=Clear Water, T9=Colouch and T10=Jumbo Beauty), at Horticultural Research Station, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mondouri, Nadia, West Bengal, India in two successive years of 2013-14 and 2014-15. Flower yield, flower length (cm), flower diameter (cm), plant height (cm) etc were observed and statistically analyzed and correlation was done between the morphological data and the environmental factors. The results showed that the short duration cultivars could be more suitable for cultivation under the short and mild winter conditions of the plains of West Bengal.

Job satisfaction of college teachers are affected by personal factors of the teachers, institutional factors and environmental factors. Environmental factors are other than personal (related with the teacher) or institutional (related with the college and the persons related with the college) factors. These include system variables like government policies, economic conditions of the state and the country, policies of the parental bodies like UGC, MHRD, Higher Educational Council, and affiliating university. In this paper, environmental factors of job satisfaction of college teachers have been considered to examine if they are significant determinants of job satisfaction. These include PBAS, Pay-packet system, ROPA, age of superannuation, transfer policy, increments for higher qualifications, unemployment problem, examination and students ’ union election are expected to have significant contributions on job satisfaction of the college teachers. The results show that teachers’ career related environment factors are significant in determining job satisfaction of college teachers. Similarly, students’ behaviour under certain circumstances is also found to be significant.

AbstractReductionist thinking in neuroscience is manifest in the widespread use of animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders. Broader investigations of diverse behaviors in non-model organisms and longer-term study of the mechanisms of plasticity will yield fundamental insights into the neurobiological, developmental, genetic, and environmental factors contributing to the “massively multifactorial system networks” which go awry in mental disorders.

Abstract The global prevalence of obesity has been rising at an alarming rate, accompanied by an increase in both childhood and maternal obesity. The concept of metabolic programming is highly topical, and in this context, describes a predisposition of offspring of obese mothers to the development of obesity independent of environmental factors. Research published in this issue of Clinical Science conducted by Litzenburger and colleagues (Clin. Sci. (Lond.) (2020) 134, 921–939) have identified sex-dependent differences in metabolic programming and identify putative signaling pathways involved in the differential phenotype of adipose tissue between males and females. Delineating the distinction between metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity is a topic of emerging interest, and the precise nature of adipocytes are key to pathogenesis, independent of adipose tissue volume.

The World Health Organization's (WHO's) 2001 International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) has as one of its central tenets the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in society. It acknowledges the need for medical and rehabilitation intervention in its biopscychosocial framework. However, the WHO realizes that society must do its part to facilitate this full participation and empowerment. Persons with complex communication needs (PWCCN) often need augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in order to express themselves. However, in order to access and successfully use AAC, PWCCN need access to the necessary AAC devices and services, as well as a willing society to interact with them as full contributing members of society. The factors outside of a person's specific physical and/or cognitive functional limitations are addressed in the ICF via the Personal and Environmental Factors. Personal Factors include the individual's personality traits, lifestyle, experiences, social/educational/professional background, race, gender, and age. Environmental Factors include community support systems, social service agencies, governments, social networks, and those persons that interact with the PWCCN. This article addresses the sociopolitical influences on PWCCN and their functioning from a human rights perspective. The necessary introspective role of speech-language pathologists in this process is explored.
