Background: Muscle hypothesis implicates abnormalities in peripheral muscle as a source of stimulus for symptoms and reflex abnormalities seen in chronic heart failure.
Aim: To evaluate ergoreflex contribution to CRRto isometric exercise in CP.
Material and Results: We studied 30 CP (age- 56.1±0.7) and 30 age matched normal subjects (age- 55.0±0.7). Post exercise regional circulatory occlusion method (PE-RCO) was used to assess ergoreflex. We compared cardiaorespiratory responses to sustained handgrip and during a 3-minute period of post exercise regional circulatory occlusion (PE-RCO). Contributions made specifically by ergoreflex to cardiorespiratory parameters in responses to exercise were derived by calculating absolute difference in these parameters during 10min recovery between with PE-RCO and without PE-RCO. CP showed significant ergoreflex activation compared with control subjects in term of Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate.
Conclusion: Ergoreflex is overactive in CP.

The present study was conducted on a sample of 800 students with age range of (15 to 21). The basic objective of the study was to know the correlates of HIV risk perception among youth population. The tests of HIV Risk Perception (Singh & Saini, 2010). HIV Knowledge (Carey et al., 1997), Impulsivity (Barratt,1994), and Sexual Sensation Seeking (Kahchman et al., 1994) were used in the study. It has been observed in the findings that HIV risk perception is significantly correlated with the variables of HIV Knowledge (-.32), Impulsivity (.18), and Sexual sensation seeking Behaviour (.22).Keywords

Everyday newspapers, magazines and media channels are full of news of robberies, kiddnappings, rape and murders. Crime reports are especially broadcasting on news channels indicating that crime is everywhere and all efforts to thwart it seem to be failing. Despite all governmental rule and regulations, crime is at alarming stage all-around. Viewing police records in certain areas, it was found that there are some villages where crime rate is very low and in others it is very high. Reasons for committing a crime may include greed, anger, jealously, revenge, pride and now-a-days one more thing that is emerging is youths from high profile families do crime for entertainment and false recognition. Investigations have shown that youths engage in crime activities for excitement, admiration and rewards. School bullying, domestic violence, community violence, religious masscrace, strikes, etc. have made social thinkers, police administration, policy makers and social scientist to unearthen the ischolar_main causes of such activities. The present study was conducted on a sample of 450 persons (75 from each village) covering the six villages (three low crime and three high crime profile villages) of district Hisar, Haiyana. The data was collected randomly and no criteria were fixed. A survey questionnaire was used to assess the attitudinal aspects related to social acceptance of crime, attitude towards alcohol and drug abuse, police, politics, gambling, youth attitude towards crime. lt has been observed in the findings that attitudinal influences potentially affect the crime proneness in rural areas.Keywords

The present study examines the factor structure of Peer Pressure Scale (PPS) for a group of 446 adolescents in the age group of 16-19. Initially 53 items were selected and item analyses, item discrimination and factor analysis was conducted. Based on experts' comments, primary analysis and factor analysis, few inappropriate items were discarded and 29 items were retained for final version of the scale. The reliability co-efficient Cronbach's alpha was calculated .82 for the final version of the Peer Pressure Scale. The final version of the scale comprised of four factors with 55% of variance. More future researches are suggested on different sample for reliability and improvement of the factor structure of the scale.Keywords

School library is regarded as the hub of all the teaching learning process of an institute. It provides the full range of print and not print material to the staff and the students to support teaching learning and other educational functions. This article deals with an analytical approach to user base studies of 235 Libraries of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan - KVS. KVS is a pioneer and well established school education system governed by the Government of India under the Ministry of Human Resource and Development. The paper discussed about the main objectives of KVS libraries, computerisation, man power, services, infrastructure, available for the students and staff. Paper also presents the study about open access, purchasing procedure, library operation, library collection, staffing, library activities etc. Online and other library work also evaluated in the study. The evaluation of status and services is based on various guidelines formulated by National and International agencies. The present work refers various policies like ALA, IFLA/UNESCO, UK School Library Association CBSE, MHRD and KVS. On the basis of analysis various suggestions and recommendations are also included at the end of this research paper.Keywords
