Temperament is a core element of the human's personality. Child's temperament might be involved in the child's social relationship and affect his or her social development. This study aims to investigate temperamental dimensions of children studying at schools affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education and Haryana Board of Secondary Education. From Hisar city, two schools affiliated to CBSE and two schools affiliated to HBSE were selected at random. From each school 40 children were randomly selected. Total sample comprised 160 children (84 boys and 76 girls). Malhotra Temperament Schedule (Malhotra and Malhotra, 1988) was used to assess mothers' perception of their children's temperament. Results revealed that there were no differences between boys and girls in sociability, emotionality, distractibility and rhythmicity but boys were more energetic than girls.Keywords

Anthropometric Parameters are useful tools in evaluating growth and development. Cephalic Index helps in estimation of intracranial volume in vivo & thus the brain growth. This prospective longitudinal study was initiated to compare the ethnic variations in cephalic index in specific defined ethnic groups of Punjab Jat Sikh and Bania infants.
It was observed that Jatsikh infants had a brachycephalic type of skull throughout the study whereas Bania infants displayed mesocephalic type of skull till 7th month of their lives and later on even they became brachycephalic in their skull shapes. It is apparent that the trend in replacing mesocephaly by brachycephaly in northern Indian children, wherein possibly Jatsikh children are ahead of Bania children in this process.

Anthropometric parameters serve as useful adjuncts to other observations in evaluating intrauterine as well as infantile growth and development. Determination of measurements with regard to Head Circumference of infants during first year of life is important for the assessment of physical growth. Range of anthropometric measurements in each parameter is different in different races. Earlier reported work indicates that socioeconomic and nutritional status affects the growth even within the ethnic groups. The present study is taken as a longitudinal study conducted periodically in infants (0-12 months) of two contrasting groups- Jat Sikh and Bania communities of Punjab belonging to similar socioeconomic status. Head circumference was measured with the help of measuring tape. Earlier studies indicated that racial factors of growth could be modified to some extent by improved socioeconomic status and nutrition. Since both groups compared in this study were belonging to similar socioeconomic status hence nutritional status of these groups was also similar. It was observed that Bania male as well as female infants had smaller head circumference as compared to their Jat Sikh counterparts. This change may be attributed to sedentary life style among the urban population.Keywords

A child always needs care and affection from their parents and family members. Parental care does matter in child's life. If children do not get adequate care, it will affect their future life and education. But in today scenario, it becomes hard for parents to work outside for their livelihood and also give full time to their children. Now days, parents take help from different type of day care centres and school for rearing their children. As a result children spend more time in these centres than home. In this paper we will compare between parental and non-parental care settings and its effects on developmental outcomes of children. This paper also adds awareness among parents and society regarding proper child care practices. So that our children can get proper care and develop full potential in their future life.Keywords

During the surveys conducted in Haryana, a leaf spot disease creating epiphytotics was observed in 1990 on horse purslane at Kurukshetra. Infected leaves had dark-brown, round to irregular, necrotic lesions with maroon margins. The fungus was identified as Gibbago trianthemae Simmons, a phaeodictyoconidial hyphomycete. Its pathogenicity was confirmed, both in vitro and in vivo. This is the first report of occurrence of G. trianthemae on horse purslane in India.

Dengue is one of the most prevalent mosquito born infection worldwide. Dengue fever is a viral disease spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which bites during daylight hours. The disease is common in tropic and subtropic regions and is often confused with malaria. With the increased rate of adult dengue fever victims, the number of infected pregnant women has also increased. Severe dengue illness during pregnancy is associated with major adverse outcome of maternal deaths, perinatal deaths, preterm births and haemorrhage during labour. In case of infection close to term, there is a risk of vertical transmission. Hence the knowledge of its diagnosis and timely management is of vital importance. Dengue infection can present four different clinical syndromes: undifferentiated fever, classical dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. The effects of dengue fever on pregnancy have not been researched thoroughly, so comprehensive data is not available. It is advisable for pregnant women to avoid travelling to areas where dengue fever is common, such as the Caribbean, Central America and south-central Asia. If travel is necessary, pregnant women should take measures to reduce the risk of mosquito bites. To avoid being bitten by a dengue fever carrying mosquito, women should wear long pants and long sleeves, and stay away from standing water and use mosquito nets while sleeping. The working women are more at risk at their work places, due to mosquito presence and there may be no mosquito repellents used, stagnant water in coolers, their uniforms etc.
We report our experience of three years (2010-2012) of managing pregnancy complicated by dengue.

The family has a profound impact on the development of children. This pilot study aimed at investigating family environment and intelligence of children. Sample consisted of 20 pre-school children and their mothers (half belonged to above poverty line and half from below poverty line families). Home inventory for families of preschoolers (Caldwell and Bradley, 2001) and parent involvement scale (Chopra and Sahoo, 2005) were used to judge the environmental conditions of children in their home. Intellectual development of children was assessed by Standford Binet Intelligence Hindi adaptation Scale (Kulshreshtha, 1971). The results revealed that children belonged to privileged families had got significantly better family environment as compare to underprivileged children. Home environment and parent involvement were found to be positively and significantly correlated with intellectual development of these children.Keywords
