Multimodal Instructional Method (MIM) has been successful used as an effective gender responsive instructional method for actively learning of chemical bonding in Chemistry by both male and female science teacher trainees in the College. Learning of chemical bonding and the mode of instruction are not only one of the most identified concepts that posed difficulty for students to learn, but scare most of the students especially female students to study science.

Anxiety, stress and depression are common in pregnancy and significant levels of anxiety symptoms are experienced by up to half of all women during pregnancy. Mild to moderate perinatal depression, stress and anxiety may cause serious adverse effects on mothers and children which includes preterm birth and low birth weight, child developmental delay and poor child mental health. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is recommended as an early intervention for improving maternal-child outcomes.

“Fruit” normally means the fleshy seed - associated structures of a plant. Fruit pomace (skin, seed, marc) a byproduct of pressing raw fruits for juice, is a rich source of nutrients and bioactive components. Fruit waste generated from fruit pomace centers are rich source of polyphenol, flavanoids, tannins, ascorbic acid, natural antioxidants, fibre and other bio active compounds which contributes to the activity of antioxidants. It can be utilized for various food preparations in the form dried or incorporated into many value added foods.

Introduction: Uveitis is one of the most common forms of intraocular inflammation and affects mainly children and young adults. Aim of Study: A clinical study of anterior uveitis in a teritiary referral Hospital,Telangana. Methods: All the patients of uveitis seen at outpatient department, between ctober 2013- September 2015 were studied with minimum follow up of 6 months .Complete history, ophthalmological evaluation and findings were noted on each visit and results were analysed.

The present study has tried to explore the defence oriented reactions of the patients suffering from OCD and GAD. For this data was collected on 100 patients equally divided into OCD and GAD patients. They were further classified equally on the basis of gender (OCD,M=25,F=25) and (GAD,M=25,F=25). Mrinal and Mrinal’s (1998) Defense Mechanism Inventory was used to assess defence oriented reactions of OCD and GAD patients.The results have revealed that 1.

Oneirophobia is a fear of nightmares. The present study was carried out to know the degree of Oneirophobia among 8th to 10th Government high school students. The response was taken from 2743 students (Male: 1589 Female: 1154). The study found that 25.29% of male students expressed the phobia and it is 23.65% in the case of females. Comparatively, high percentage of male students has Oneirophobia than female. Some of the useful treatment methods are Homeopathy, Exposure based therapy, Cognitive therapy and Relaxation techniques.

Oral epithelium has regional diversity corresponding to functional needs as it is subjected to different forms and intensity of stress which demand tougher epithelial cells. The keratins’ are most diverse and an outstanding group of proteins belonging to the intermediate filament (IF) family which constitute about 80% of the total protein content. Keartins are classified into 20 major groups starting from K1 to K20. In epidermal cells, keratin intermediate filaments connect with desmosomes to form extensive cadherin - mediated cytoskeletal architectures.

Cultivation of edible mushrooms (Agaricusbisporus) in the laboratory and determination of proximate and mineral compositions of cultivated mushrooms with other protein sources were carried out. Mushrooms seeds (spores) were purchased from a rented store at WedotatoryKuru, Jos South. Samples of wild mushrooms were collected from Gindiri and Maijuju forest in Jos, Plateau state. Samples were packaged in sterile polythene bags and were transported to the Laboratory, Veterinary Research Institute, VOM.

The proteomic analysis for identification of calcium binding proteins (CBPs) could be useful for development of nutraceuticals and food to food fortification. The present investigation was aimed to explore the proteomic study to identify CBPs in major pulses available in Nainital District. Pulses were collected from local market and farmers of Nainital region of Kumaun. All physiological parameters were examined as per standard protocols. Total buffer soluble proteins (TBSPs) were quantified with the help of Bradford assay.

Ground water is the main source of fresh water in this nagar panchayat area of Azamgarh district. The water samples are collected twice from the eleven sites selecting at least one from each ward of the nagar panchayat area, first sampling is done in the month of November 2016 and the other in February 2017. The physico -chemical parameters viz., colour, odour, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), hardness, chloride, calcium, pH and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were analysed.
