Background: Rabies is an enzootic, fatal disease and early detection of this disease is necessary. Till now a reliable diagnosis is possible only after death of animal.
Objectives: So the present study was undertaken to use the molecular approaches like nested RTPCR and SYBR Green real time PCR for early diagnosis of rabies in suspected animals using less invasive non neural tissues like skin biopsy and hair follicles.
Method: 12 cases of rabies suspected live animals were presented to the Veterinary Clinics, GADVASU, Ludhiana, India.
Results: The sensitivity of nested RT-PCR for hair follicles and skin samples was 50% and 57.1% respectively. A sensitivity of 62.5% and 71.4% was observed with real time PCR in hair follicles and skin samples.
Conclusion: We suggest that non-invasive molecular approaches may be used for the early and accurate diagnosis of rabies in animals.

Background: Outward spread of rabies virus from the CNS leads to infection of almost all organs and have been reported in various secretions and excretions viz. saliva, urine, CSF, tears (corneal smear). Although transmission of rabies virus from consuming unpasteurized milk from an infected animal is theoretically possible, no human or animal has ever been reported to develop rabies via this route. Neither there had been any practical proof of making claim about shedding of rabies virus in milk. This work aimed to identify the presence of rabies virus in unpasteurized raw milk from naturally-infected animals that were confirmed positive for rabies by FAT on brain tissue.
Method: Out of total 25 animals showing clinical signs of rabies, milk sample was obtained from 17 lactating animals. Brief history was recorded and an attempt was made by employing advanced molecular approach TaqMan real time PCR on milk samples with an aim to detect the presence of rabies viral RNA. Confirmatory diagnosis of rabies was made by applying immunofluorescence techniques on brain tissue after death of an animal.
Results: The present finding depicts the presence of rabies viral RNA in 4/17(23.52%) milk sample with a sensitivity of 60% when compared with FAT applied on brain tissue.
Conclusion: A complete perusal of literature revealed that there had not been a single reported study to detect the presence of rabies viral RNA in milk samples. Although with this study it is now proved practically that rabies viral RNA can be found in milk samples from lactating animals however the infectivity of unpasteurized raw milk needs to be evaluated.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of river systems in the Lower Siwalik sequence has enabled characterization of channel patterns, river metamorphosis and resulting sandstone body evolution in time and space. Processes related six lithofacies repeat to generate 8-10 m thick multistoried sandstone complexes deposited in perennial channel belts. Based on lateral mapping of the sandstone bodies, the surfaces of genetic significance ranging from 3rd, 4th and 5thorder, suggest presence of meandering, braided and anastomosing river patterns that were responsible for the Lower Siwalik sedimentation. Variation in local base-level in response to allogenic factors including climate and tectonics forced river systems to acquire different patterns. Eustasy seems to control large-scale basin level changes.Quantitatively reconstructed morphological parameters and their comparison with modern and ancient analogues, supported by other independent evidences such as stratigraphical position of sandstone bodies in vertically measured columns and mineralogical characteristics of channel sandstones, enabled to decipher the geomorphic positioning of the Lower Siwalik channels in distal parts of megafan and interfluve areas within the foreland basin setting.

According to K. Young, 'Personality is a patterned body of habits, traits, attitudes and ideas of an individual, as these are organized externally into roles and statuses, and as they relate internally to motivation, goals and various aspects of selfhood. A proper and adequate environment is very much necessary for a fruitful learning of the child. Especially the home and the school should provide the necessary stimulus for learning experience. Two environments home and school share an influential space in individual's life and there exists a unique combination between the two. This study examines the, home and school environment on the personality of adolescents. The study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana state where two colleges and two schools were selected. The sample comprised of 160 adolescents (80 girls and 80 boys) taken equally from each institution. Adolescents were assessed for their personality by big five inventory developed John and Srivastava, while home and school environment were measure through respective inventories developed by Mishra. The personality traits among adolescents are significantly and positively correlated with positive home environment dimensions of reward and nurturance. The students showed insignificant association with all the aspects of school environment expect permissiveness.Keywords

One of the roles of education is to awaken and develop the powers of creativity. Instead, what we have is a culture of standardization. Creative children are assets to the society. Development and progress in various fields depends on the creativity. Home environment refers to all sorts of moral and ethical values and emotional, social and intellectual climate set up by the family members to contribute to the wholesome development of an individual. The study examines the influence ofhome environment on creativity of adolescents. The study was conducted in Rural area of Rewari and Hisar districts ofHaryana state on 240 adolescents comprising 120 from Rewari and 120 from Hisar district. The sample represented equal number of boys and girls ranging in 14-16 years of age group. Creativity level was assessed by using divergent production abilities test by Sharma For assessment ofhome environment; the Home Environment Inventory (HEI) by Mishra (1989) was used. The study unveils that home environment was significantly associated with creativity of adolescents concluding that home environment of the adolescents highly influence their creativity level. Better was the home environment better was the creativity of the adolescents.Keywords

Creativity is universally widespread and each and every child has some degree of creativity. It is the duty of parents and teachers to provide support for creative development and help the child to understand the divergent thought and to communicate his ideas freely. They should provide conducive experiences and guidance and should recognize the individual's creative talent. The present study examines the differences of creativity among adolescents across gender, age and locale. The study was conducted in Rural area of Rewari and Hisar districts of Haryana state on 240 adolescents comprising 120 from Rewari and 120 from Hisar district. The sample represented equal number of boys and girls ranging in 14-16 years of age group. Creativity level was assessed by using divergent production abilities test by Sharma Results of the study depicts that female respondents were better in their creative abilities as compared to male students. Creativity differs significantly on the bases of gender. Results further shows that 15+-16 years of age group adolescents were more creative as compared to their counterparts. Rewari students were more creative as compared to Hisar students.Keywords

Family is a shelter for every civil in the world, each family environment influence on their members, family consists many factors such as culture, facility of the family standard of living in family. The growth and development of each person of the family member is dependent on family. Adolescence is a process, rather than a period of achieving the desired growth, attitude, beliefs and methods for effective participation in society as an emerging adult. The way in which adolescents develop and exercise their personal efficacy during this transitional period can play a key role in setting the course their life paths take. The study was conducted with the aim to find the level of family environment of adolescent girls' across residential area. The study was conducted in Hisar district ofHaryana state where two Government Senior Secondary Schools from rural area and two from urban area were selected. From each of the four selected schools of rural and urban area of Hisar, all girls of 14-16 year were included in final sample. The Family Climate Scale (FCS) developed by Shah (2001) was used to assess family environment of adolescent girls. Results indicated that adolescents from urban area get better family environment as compared to adolescents from rural area.Keywords

Kornerupine, although a rare mineral, has been reported from several locations around the world in various types of aluminomagnesian Proterozoic rocks subjected to amphibolite and granulite facies metamorphism. Here we report the occurrence of kornerupine in quartzo-feldspathic gneisses near Kunjan town located in the southwestern part of Salem district, Tamil Nadu, India. These kornerupine granulites show well-preserved retrogression texture, involving hydration reactions which helped develop the various mineral assemblages. The common stable assemblage in these granulites is orthopyroxene–cordierite–kornerupine–biotite–spinel–K-feldspar–plagioclase. The P–T conditions of these granulites have been derived using the winTWQ program, which gives results of ~800°C and ~6 kbar for kornerupine-bearing assemblage. The high P–T assemblage reported from this area bears a significant relationship with the metamorphic history and exhumation of the Salem–Namakkal blockKeywords
