Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

To analyze the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among the girls students, a study was conducted on 60 girls students (30 day scholar and 30 hostel students) of age from 17 to 22 years selected randomly from college of home science, CCSHAU, Hisar. Most of the respondents were from to general caste (46.66%). Day scholar students in their first and third year of graduation were largely suffering from mild form of depression. Anxiety score increased from normal to moderate level from first to third year of graduation. Mild form of stress was the chief form (varying from 13.33 to 16.67%) with which girls were found to suffer with. Hostlers were suffering from mild (13.33% in 3rd year to 20% in 1st year students) and moderate (6.67% in 1st year to 10% in 3rd year) form of depression. The moderate anxiety score tended to increase (from 3.33% to 6.66%) from 1st year to 3rd year of graduation. Hostler girls were also reported to suffer from mild form of stress. Although severe form of depression, anxiety and stress were not the major issue but, moderate score of all these was found to increase which suggest that there is a need for special focus on the mental health of the girl student in colleges.

Women are involved in dual responsibilities of both maintain the household and this cottage industry. Though they expend both human and material resources lavishly for these activities, it is found that, their toil is not satisfactorily rewarded. They are found to be psychologically facing only discontentment. For their productive work, the returns are unproductive. Low income, poor social status, health problems, poor social status and the like are certain problems faced by them. Pages: 155-156

Pages: 145-149 Manorama Devi, Leena Das, and Moonty Baruah (Department of Family Resource Management and Consumer Science. Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam) Shopping was once perceived as an activity of going out, exploring various stores and shops across the town, shifting through a myriad of options and finally settling down to purchase a product with full satisfaction. Now that the technology is skillfully trying to make a person think smartly, without exerting much physical energy, we see that even shopping has been engulfed under grip of changing lifestyle. With online shopping spreading its wings gradually, the experience of 'touch and feel' concept is slowly fading among the consumers. Online shopping or electronic shopping is a part of electronic commerce which allows consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the internet. A survey was conducted in the Jorhat town of Assam to know the online shopping scenario among the consumers with the objective to identify the category of population inclined for online shopping and the factors influencing the consumers for online shopping. For the present research work, 120 samples were selected randomly from four wards of municipality area and a multistage stratified random sampling method was adopted in order to select representative sample. The findings of the study revealed that the young generations are very active in the activities of online shopping and most of them are females. The results of the study have given detailed information regarding the change in shopping behaviour of the consumers. Pages: 145-149

Pages: 140-144 Yumkhaibam Anandi Devi and Deepika Vig (Department of Human Development & Family Studies, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab) The present study was an attempt to see the impact of planning and implementation of educational therapy programme on mathematical skills of school children. The sample for the study consisted of 15 teachers and30 children of class II from the rural private schools of Ludhiana district. Self Structured Cognitive Abilities Assessment Checklist were used to assess teachers' cognitive abilities to design educational therapy programme for children, Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (Raven, 1965) was used to assess the intellectual abilities of the children and Self Structured Mathematical Skills Checklist was used to assess different mathematical skills of children. Rural teachers who showed high level of application level of cognitive abilities were selected to plan and design educational therapy programme for children with mathematical difficulties which was implemented for three months. Pre-intervention results revealed that children were in low and medium level of mathematical skills and none of the child was in high level. Post- intervention results revealed that rural children of class II shifted to medium and to high level and none of the child remained in low level of mathematical skills. Further, dimension-wise analysis revealed that the mathematical skills were improved in each dimension indicating that children were better able to perform in number facts, place value, addition, subtraction and counting. Hence, the educational therapy programme significantly enhanced the mathematical skills of rural children.. Pages: 140-144

The present study was conducted in four districts namely; Hisar Fatehabad, Rohtak and Jind of Haryana state with the purpose of availability of maximum numbers of twins in the required age group of 4 -10 years identified under UGC project of the department. A sample of 296 pairs of twins in the age group of 6 10 years will be taken. The dimensions of temperament will be assessed individually. A variable is the set of value that forms a classification. A value is anything which can be predicted. There were two types of variables in the study i.e. independent and dependent variable. Temperament was taken as dependent and father education was taken as independent variable. The Malhotra Temperament Schedule (MTS) developed by Malhotra and Malhotra (1988) was used to assess child's temperament. Result revealed that there was no association of father's education with all the variables of temperament in Bagar zone, i.e., sociability (c2=0.34), emotionality (c2=4.84), energy (c2=1.51), rhythmicity (c2=4.45), distractibility (c2=1.40) and total temperament (c2=1.42) of twins.

Pre-school children undoubtedly are the most crucial segment of our population. Under nutrition is a critical determinant of mortality and morbidity in young children worldwide and it is associated with 45 percent of all deaths in children under five years of age. The major forms of malnutrition are kwashiorkor (edematous) and marasmus (wasting) with or without associated stunting. In a view to know the nutritional deficiency among the rural children, the present study was conducted with an objective to assess the clinical status of preschool children of Auraiya district of Uttar Pradesh. The study involved a total of 100 preschool children. Twenty children selected randomly from each of the 5 villages of Bhagyanagar block of Auraiya district of Uttar Pradesh. The study shows that 58 children fall between 1-3 years of age while 42 children came under the 4-6 year of age. Physical examination results are as presented in Table 2. It was found that on the basis of their general appearance, 54 per cent were normal and 45 per cent were thin and obese 1% in a different village. Sign of Fluorosis namely mottling of enamel in teeth was observed most of the elder children (4-6 years), i.e., 27 per cent as compare to the children belongs the age group of 1-3 years, i.e., 15 per cent. Anemia was observed as pale conjunctiva (28%) and Koilnychia (16%). Those with xerosis (1%) and Bitot's spot (2%). Conjunctival xerosis being common among younger children and Bitot's spot more in older children. The findings are showed the poor health status of preschool children.

Pages: 130-133 Pratishtha Verma, Surabhi Mahajan, and Devinder Kaur (Department of Apparel and Textile Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab) Macramé is the art of knotting yarns without using needles and hooks. In the current study, five macramé dresses were developed using different textile waste material. The selection of textile waste was done through an expert panel. The selected textile waste was cotton thread, chiffon fabric, artificial leather, wool thread and satin ribbon respectively. Handmade pencil sketches were made for each dress. The selection of colour combination, dress length, sleeve length and macramé knots were on the basis of suitability and availability of textile waste and latest fashion trends. The dresses were constructed on 34” size dress form and their cost price was calculated. A profit percent of 40 was added to cost of each dress to calculate the estimated selling price which lied in the range Rs. 1,200 - 2,200. To determine the suitability of the estimated selling price and overall appeal of the constructed dresses, a questionnaire was developed and administered in the sample space with a sample size of 30. Cotton thread and artificial leather dress was adjudged as excellent by the respondents, while dress made from wool thread was assessed as very good and dresses constructed from chiffon and satin ribbon were considered as good. The estimated selling price of all the constructed macramé dresses was considered appropriate except for artificial leather dress which was adjudged as low priced. Hence, the dresses developed from textile waste using macramé technique were cost-effective and aesthetically appealing and could be used as income generating new idea in macramé enterprise.

Pages: 125-129 Bhawana Asnani (Polytechnic in Home Science, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, Gujarat) A study was carried out in selected areas of Amreli Taluka in Gujarat, India to find out the most drudgery prone tasks in animal husbandry and health hazards associated with it. It was elicited that most drudgery prone activities experienced by farm women in animal husbandry were cleaning of cattle shed, cutting and collecting fodder from field, feeding of animals, cleaning of cattle, milking, chaffing fodder and preparing dung cakes to use as fuel. Most of the health hazards like zoonotic infections, fatigue, injuries/ infections in hand or palms, body ache and skin problems were experienced by farm women while carrying out different activities of Animal Husbandry. Since all these operations were done manually, the efficiency of women was low along with considerable physical and mental fatigue and health problems. A couple of low cost, easy to operate tools and technologies were promoted among farm women which were rake, shovel, wheel barrow, sickle, milking stool and chaff cutter. The physiological cost of work on ergonomic parameters indicated that physiological cost of work in terms of heart rate and energy expenditure did not exceed acceptable limits with use of improved technologies while increased output considerably. The MSD's also reduced in intensity. Thus, promotion of improved technologies in Animal Husbandry reduced drudgery and improved health, efficiency and safety of the women workers. Pages: 125-129

Pages: 121-124 S. Sowmya and T. Samsai (Department of Agricultural and Rural Management, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu) In India, 80% of the diseases are water-borne and 60-80% children suffer from this. 50000 people die every day due to water contamination with 8 million cases of typhoid every year in India. Packaged drinking water industry is at a whooping rate of growth with nearly 200 brands in India, 80% being local. So the consumers need to be diligent in brand selection. The present paper aims to study the brand preference of consumers in Coimbatore City. Totally 120 consumers were selected by convenience sampling method in Coimbatore City. Percentage analysis, Garrett's ranking and Likert analysis were used to study the brand preference and factors influencing the purchase of packaged drinking water and to examine the brand loyalty and brand switching behavior of consumers. The study indicated that Bisleri and Siruvani were the most preferred brands. Quality, taste and comparatively lower price were the important factors which influenced the purchase of packaged drinking water. The brand name acts as a vital source for preference of brands. The consumers remain loyal as long as the brand is available in their local market and there is a consistency in price. Pages: 121-124

It belongs to the family Anacardiaceae and genus Mangifera. In Haryana, the maximum area under mango cultivation is in Yamunanagar district with 5419 hectare followed by Ambala, Panchkula, and Karnal. The production of mango in Yamunanagar is 60.02 thousand MT. The present study was conducted in Yamunanagar district of Haryana. This area was selected purposely because of maximum area under mango fruit crops. Further two blocks, Chhachhrauli and Jagadhari were selected purposively from Yamunanagar district and from each block two villages were selected randomly and thereby a total number of four villages was selected for data collection. Thirty mango grower farmers were selected randomly from each village for the study and thus, a total number of 120 farmers were interviewed. The specific objectives of the present study were socio-economic status, knowledge, adoption and the constraints in adoption of post-harvest management practices by mango growers. The data were collected with the help of well-structured interview schedule..Twelve important independent variables such as age, education, socio-economic status, caste, family size, occupation of respondents, annual income, land holdings, farm implements, mass media exposure, extension contacts, and irrigation facilities were selected for the study. The study revealed that majority of the farmers were middle aged and belonged to general caste, more than half of the respondents were educated matric to graduate and one-third of respondents had family members up to 5. Most of them were engaged in farming and nearly two-third per cent of the respondents had annual income above Rs. 1 lakh. More than half of the farmers belonged to medium to high level of socio-economic status. Majority of the farmers belonged to low to medium level of mass media and extension contacts. More than half of the farmers used tube well as source of irrigation. Pages: 118-120
