Birds are important elements of an environment. The review articles show the significance, challenges, and conservation strategies for wild and migratory bird habitats in South Asia which have diverse landscapes host crucial ecosystems, providing breeding grounds, stopovers, and wintering areas for countless bird species. Anthropogenic activities, climate change, pollution, and invasive species threaten these habitats, necessitating effective conservation measures. Habitat assessment, monitoring, restoration techniques, and adaptation strategies are explored. The impact of climate change on bird habitats is discussed, emphasizing the importance of habitat resilience and adaptive management. Community engagement and education are pivotal in conservation, with successful models involving local communities in decision-making processes. The article also addresses the status of illegal bird hunting in the Indian subcontinent, emphasizing the need for strengthened law enforcement and community involvement. Though birds are important element of the environment, however, they are cause to spread some disease in especially migratory birds. It’s have contribution to biodiversity, pest control, and pollination but can also cause economic losses in agriculture and pose risks to aviation. Managing coexistence between birds and human activities is required for successful conservation program. Interdisciplinary research, long-term monitoring, and quantitative assessments of habitat resilience is underscored. The article concludes with a future plan for wild and migratory bird management in Bangladesh, outlining measures such as habitat protection, community involvement, and international collaboration.

Aims: Influence of levels of phosphorus on yield components and yield of zero till maize in rice-maize (Zea mays L.) sequence.
Methodology: Field experiment was conducted during two successive years at College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad on rice-zero till maize sequence. The experiment was replicated thrice with 5 levels of P2O5 in rice and 3 levels of P2O5 in maize.
Results: The direct application of 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 to maize recorded significantly higher value of yield components, grain and stover yield of maize over lower Phosphorus levels. The residual effect of 100% and /or 75% RDP (recommended dose of Phosphorus) applied to rice had a greater positive influence on the yield components and yield over lower phosphorus levels. The cumulative effect indicated that application of 100% RDP to both the crops and 75 % RDP to rice and 100% RDP to maize had a positive effect on maize and produced significantly greater yield components and yield over other phosphorus treatments.

Aim: To assess the impacts of constructed water pan utilization on wildlife distribution and abundance in Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy.
Study Design: Ecological survey design.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the dry season (June 2022) and wet season (October 2022) at Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, Kenya.
Methodology: Systematic sampling using belt transects was used in collecting data on mammals’ distribution and abundance.
Results: Distribution patterns differed with species between seasons. For the dry season, results show that eland(r=-0.516, p=0.295), impala(r=-0.714, p=0.111), warthog(r=-0.754,p=0.08), waterbuck(r=-0.986,p=0.0003), and zebra(r=-0.657,p=0.156) had a strong negative correlation with distance from water pans. During the wet season, impala (r = -0.49, p=0.329), wildebeest (r = -0.26, p=0.623), and waterbuck (r = -0.71, p=0.111) showed a negative correlation, while warthog (r = 0.60,p=0.208) and zebra (r = 0.26, p=0.62)showed a positive correlation with increased distance from water.
Conclusion: many mammals concentrated near the constructed water pans during the dry season due to the presence of forage and drinking water but dispersed out when ephemeral water sources and forage availability increased during the wet season.

Published: January 2024

Sericulture in Karnataka is in the process of modernization in many phases through new demand driven extension approach called Technical Service Centres (TSCs) located at the grass-root level (Hobli and Taluka level). These centres are mainly involved in the dissemination of the technologies developed by the Research Institutes and also in supply of mulberry cuttings/saplings, monitoring mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing and providing information about loan facilities and subsidy schemes. There is a need to study the attitude of sericulture beneficiary farmers towards activities of TSCs. The study was conducted during 2018-20 in the Karnataka state which contribute 35 per cent of silk production in India. An ex-post facto research design was used or the study. Knowledge test was constructed to measure the knowledge of sericulture farmers on recommended sericulture technologies. The Ramanagara and Mandya districts were selected because these district have highest number of TSCs in Bangalore and Mysore division respectively. Mandya, Malavalli and K.R Pet taluks from Mandya district as well as Ramanagara, Channapatna and Kanakapura taluks from Ramanagara district were selected for the study with four TSCs from each taluk. Totally, 24 TSCs were selected for the study. Ten sericulture farmers under each TSC, collectively 240, were selected by using random sampling method. The study highlighted that more than half (52.50%) and more than one third (36.25%) of the sericulture farmers had medium and high knowledge on recommended technologies of sericulture respectively. Only just more than one tenth (11.25%) of the sericulture farmers had low knowledge on recommended technologies of sericulture. The probable reason might be due to fact that sericulture farmers were regularly consulting from officials of grainage centres, TSC extension functionaries, input dealers and peer group about the information on latest sericulture technologies.

Authors: Nakuloadi Hening , Riani Asri Laksmi , Wening Nur 
Published: January 2024

Research Purposes: This article aims to deepen the understanding of Kaizen culture in relation to the concept of human capital at the current middle-top managerial level.
Research Methods: This research led to the choice of using a qualitative method approach, ethnography.
Research Originality: This research is the first to be conducted, and is expected to contribute to the development of human capital theory at the managerial level of companies.
Findings: From this Kaizen culture, they teach humans to make changes for the good in an efficient, processed manner and to make life goals more meaningful. To support the implementation of the Kaizen Strategy, we need standardization in the production process and work procedures in an organization, namely SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely).
Implications: We can apply to Kaizen culture not only at the individual level but also on a large corporate scale such as manufacturing, this is because it makes everything better and more efficient over time. From this Kaizen culture, humans are also taught to make changes with goodness in an efficient, processed manner, and to make life goals more meaningful. There are 10 Kaizen principles that can be applied so that a person's life goals become more developed and meaningful, namely continuing to improve one's abilities; Leave Old Bad Habits behind; Proactive; Always Correct Yourself; Want to develop yourself in your own way; Willing to listen to other people's opinions; Can utilize gathering moments more effectively; Want to ask yourself; and Live Economically and Efficiently.
Limitations: Kaizen culture using the SMART method cannot be short term, but takes the form of an accumulation of success in a long-term context.

AbstractObsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is an etiologically heterogeneous disorder. Recent factor analyses have consistently identified several symptom dimensions, two of which are associated with increased familial risk for OCD; aggressive, sexual, and religious obsessions and checking compulsions (FACTOR 1) and symmetry and ordering obsessions and compulsions (FACTOR 2). Both of these symptom dimensions are also frequently seen in association with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS). The purpose of this study was to determine whether these obsessive‐compulsive (OC) symptom dimensions are correlated within families (between sibs and between parent‐child pairs). Using data collected by the Tourette Syndrome Association International Consortium for Genetics Affected Sibling Pair Study, the authors selected all available GTS sib pairs and their parents for which these OC symptom dimensions (factor scores) could be generated. This group included 128 full sibs and their mothers (54) and fathers (54). Four OC symptom dimension scores were computed for each family member using an algorithm derived from item endorsements from the Yale‐Brown Obsessive‐Compulsive Scale (Y‐BOCS) symptom checklist. In addition to a series of univariate analyses, complex segregation analyses were also completed using these quantitative OC symptom dimension scores. FACTOR 1 and FACTOR 2 scores were significantly correlated in sib pairs concordant for GTS. The mother–child correlations, but not father–child correlations, were also significant for these two factors. Segregation analyses were consistent with dominant major gene effects for both FACTOR 1 and FACTOR 2. We conclude that familial factors contribute significantly to OC symptom dimension phenotypes in GTS families. This familial contribution could be genetic or environmental. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Selectivity of verbal memory deficit in schizophrenic patients and their relatives
Authors: Toulopoulou Timothea , Morris Robin G. , Rabe‐Hesketh Sophia , Murray Robin M. 
Published: December 2002

AbstractSome of the relatives of people with schizophrenia show impairments of memory and executive function. It is not known, however, whether within these domains there is a class of processes that is especially impaired. Seventy schizophrenic or schizoaffective patients, 115 of their relatives and 66 normal controls underwent a series of assessments evaluating modality specific recall/learning, and aspects of executive functioning, including, planning ability, spatial working memory, strategy formation and rapid mental flexibility. The pattern of performance across cognitive processes was assessed using z‐scores that allow direct comparison between tests with different raw score metrics. Selectivity of deficit was evaluated by subtracting the z‐score of each cognitive process from the mean of the z‐scores of those remaining. Patients performed out worse than controls on most measures, with verbal immediate recall and visual memory/learning the most impaired. Their relatives showed lower scores than controls on verbal and visual memory/learning and strategy formation; verbal memory and strategy formation remained impaired after eliminating those relatives with a psychiatric diagnosis. Consistent with the findings in their schizophrenic kin, healthy relatives also showed disproportionate impairments in verbal immediate recall. Our finding of a selective deficit in verbal memory among relatives suggests that such impairment constitutes a familial, probably genetic, risk factor for schizophrenia. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: December 2002

AbstractWe found evidence previously of familial aggregation of psychotic symptoms in 65 bipolar disorder pedigrees. This finding, together with prior evidence from clinical, family, neurobiological, and linkage studies, suggested that psychotic bipolar disorder may delineate a valid subtype. We sought to replicate this finding in 69 new bipolar disorder pedigrees. The presence of psychotic symptoms, defined as hallucinations or delusions, during an affective episode was compared in families of 46 psychotic and 23 non‐psychotic bipolar I probands ascertained at Johns Hopkins for the NIMH Bipolar Disorder Genetics Initiative. There were 198 first‐degree relatives with major affective disorder including 90 with bipolar I disorder. Significantly more psychotic proband families than non‐psychotic proband families (76% vs. 48%) contained at least one affected relative with psychotic symptoms. Psychotic symptoms occurred in 35% of relatives of psychotic probands and in 22% of relatives of non‐psychotic probands (P = 0.10). Both psychotic affective disorder generally and psychotic bipolar I disorder clustered significantly in families. These results are consistent with our prior report although the magnitude of the predictive effect of a psychotic proband is less in the replication families. Our findings provide modest support for the validity of psychotic bipolar disorder as a subtype of bipolar disorder. This clinically defined subtype may prove more homogeneous than the disorder as a whole at the level of genetic etiology and of neuropathology/pathophysiology. Families with this subtype should be used to search for susceptibility genes common to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and for biological markers that may be shared with schizophrenia. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Genetic variation in apolipoprotein D affects the risk of Alzheimer disease in African‐Americans

Published: December 2002

AbstractApolipoprotein D (APOD, gene; apoD, protein) is involved in neuroregenerative and neurodegenerative processes, and is upregulated in late‐onset Alzheimer disease (AD) patients compared to nondemented controls. No genetic association studies have yet been carried out to investigate the role of APOD in AD. We have reported recently several sequence variants in the APOD gene, which are present exclusively among African blacks. In the present study we examined the role of four APOD genetic variants (Intron 1, codons 36, 108, 158) in modifying the risk of AD in 70 subjects with AD and 163 nondemented subjects from a population‐based African‐American cohort in Indianapolis. The Intron 1*2 allele was associated with an increased AD risk with an age, gender and APOE adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.29 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19–4.43; P = 0.013), and this risk was confined to APOE*4 carriers (OR 3.12; 95% CI: 1.13–8.60; P = 0.028). The frequency of the codon 36/GT genotype was non‐significantly higher in individuals with AD than nondemented subjects (4.3% vs. 1.2%) with an adjusted OR of 4.24 (95% CI: 0.66–27.14; P = 0.13). Our data suggest that the risk of AD among African‐Americans may be modified by genetic variation in APOD. Larger population‐based or case‐control studies are needed to confirm the role of APOD genetic variation in AD. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Enzymatic degradation of thermoresponsive poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) grafted to carboxymethylcellulose copolymers
Authors: Vasile Cornelia , Marinescu Cristina , Vornicu Raluca , Staikos Georgios 
Published: December 2002

AbstractThe enzymatic degradation of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) grafted to carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) copolymers with a cellulasic preparation (Trichoderma viride) was studied. The enzymatic activity of the cellulasic preparation against CMC and the grafted copolymers was determined by the Petterson–Porath method, while their reduced viscosity variation in the presence of the same preparation was also followed. It has been shown that the enzymatic degradation behavior depends on the copolymer composition and the reaction temperature. Reducing sugars analysis showed that the experimental values for the grafted copolymers were higher than the calculated ones. At 50°C, the enzymatic reaction is completed in about 20 min for the copolymers, whereas for CMC it takes more than 40 min. It can be concluded that their enzymatic degradation is facilitated by the presence of the PNIPAM grafts. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 87: 1383–1386, 2003
