A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy research field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from November 2013 to March 2014 to study the response of sowing time and seed treatment on growth, yield and quality seed production of chickpea. The experiment comprised as two factors: sowing date - 3 times: 1st sowing date: 19th November - S1, 2nd sowing date: 29th November - S2 and 3rd sowing date: 9th December - S3 and seed treatment with gibrallic acid (GA3) - 5 levels: GA3 75 ppm - T1,GA3 150 ppm - T2, GA3 225 ppm - T3, GA3 300 ppm - T4 andhydro-priming - T5. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.The treatment combination on maximum plant height and dry matter content recorded of plant in S2T3 irrespective of growing period. This combination also exhibited maximum number of pods plant-1, longest pod length and maximum number of seed pod-1, where as required minimum duration for pod maturity. The maximum weight of 1000 seed, height grain yield, harvest index and also maximum found germination percentage and vigor index were found. When chickpea was shown on 29th November and treated with 225 ppm GA3then ensure the best result.

Maternal Health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and post partum period and maternal health status of a nation can be characterized by numerous factors, such as outcome measures like maternal mortality and morbidity rates, or maternal nutrition status, as well as process indicators of service availability and use. In developing countries of the world, still maternal mortality is very concerning issue. The aim of this study is to find out the overall scenario of rural maternal health status in Bangladesh. This is a non-experimental study. High education and income status increase higher level of antenatal, delivery and postnatal care services but the situations are very much distinct among the respondents who have lower education and income status and it has found by this study that the poor women face low birth weight 46.3%, unsafe abortion 57.7%, high obstructed labor 76%, hemorrhage 20%, eclampsia 8.3%, sepsis 13.7%, unskilled birth attendance 86% and no emergency obstetric care services 78.3%. Keywords: Maternal Mortality, Maternal Health, Postpartum Hemorrhage, Emergency Obstetric Care, Non-experimental study, Poor rural women.

Thriving youth population has placed many countries vouching for India as an imminent global power. The precondition to attain such a stature requires substantial contribution from young minds of the country that constitutes the major fragment of its billion plus population. A well informed, motivated and capable individual is fascinated by the idea of self-sufficient, independent and inspiring existence. Such an entity is likely to consider self-employment rather than working for others. More jobs are thus created by such endeavours reinforcing the economic foundation of the country, as a whole strengthening the claims of becoming superior in years ahead. This has led to the curiosity among industries, government and academics to assess the motivation of young minds towards initiating self-owned enterprises. Countries that have encouraged entrepreneurial ventures are in present times economically strong and motivate several other developing countries that wish to choose the path to prosperity of their people. This study aims to uncover attitudes toward entrepreneurial initiations and motivations of students at an important stage of their academic life, which is during their post-graduation. Sample from a newly established university under the Central Universities Act 2009 based in Dharamshala as its temporary academic location has been collected. The sample has been drawn from the students pursuing post-graduation programs in the university. The study attempted to determine the awareness and willingness of students to become entrepreneurs after the completion of post-graduation studies, revealing their motivations toward becoming business starters. This research is significant not only for the institutions of higher education preparing students to take up leading roles in various areas, but also for the policy makers and observers from different industries keen on developing entrepreneurial talent.

Exercises have beneficial effect on health and well being. Purpose of the study was to compare the health status of young women who have participated exercise and physical activities regularly with the young women who were sedentary in nature. A total of fifty subjects (N=50) have been selected randomly for the present study of which 25 were actively participated in regular exercise and 25 were sedentary in nature. The age of the subject was in between 21 to 30 years. Body weight, BMI, Cardio Vascular Efficiency and Reaction time were the criterion measured of the study. BMI was calculated by measuring height and weight with the universal equation [BMI=Weight (Kg)/Height (m) 2]. Queens College Teat was used to measure cardiovascular efficiency. Visual Reaction Time (VRT) was measured by Nelson hand reaction test. Mean and Standard deviation were used as descriptive statistics and t-test was done to find out the difference between two group means. Only 0.05 level of significance was considered in this study. All calculation was done by standard statistical software. Result revealed that active young women have lower mean value of body weight and BMI than sedentary women. The mean difference of body weight (t=4.19) and BMI (t=4.02) between two groups of women was statistically significant (p<0.05). The mean value of CVE was higher in active women group than sedentary women and this difference of mean was statistically significant (t=2.75; p<0.05). The lower mean value of reaction time for active group than sedentary group represented their superior fitness status but the difference was not significant statistically (t=1.37; p>0.05). From the above findings it was concluded that active women have superior health status in respect of body weight, BMI and CVE. Lower value of reaction time also indicated that active women possessed higher fitness and they were healthier than sedentary young women. Findings proved that regular participation in exercise is much more helpful to attain better health in young women. Key Words: Exercise effect, Health and Fitness, Young Women, Active and Sedentary

Most of Eliot's readers look upon his protagonists as somewhat lost in the mire of materialism and sexual passion, swinging in between decision and indecision and groping in utter hopelessness. The belief is so firm that they look upon Eliot as a pessimistic poet and his protagonists as 'hollowmen'- spectres, invalid people or people cut off from the spring of life. Apparently, those characters being lifeless and inactive invent various psychological methods of 'projections' and 'defence mechanisms' to face the tribulations of life. But what we fail to take into account is the fact that those 'projections' and 'defence mechanisms' are kinds of reality checks that are practical and pragmatic and does not merely reveal the pessimistic mind-set of the people. Key Words: Psychological, projections, defence mechanisms, pessimism, hope.

The business of insurance is sustained by a complex system of risk analysis and this analysis involves anticipating the likelihood of a particular loss and charging enough in premiums to guarantee that insured losses can be paid and this is afforded by statistics to be used to determine what risk an insured poses to an insurance company, what percentage of policies is likely to pay out, and how much money a company can expect to pay out in claims. In this paper we highlighted the role of statistics in insurance business for instance to introduce and develop new products, statistics play a role in evaluating sample and collateral information. Linear regression models are essential tools in finding risk factors for premiums calculations. Time series methods are used in various ways to predict trends, and simulation methods are crucial to understanding the many models considered for anything from new products to revisions in rating schemes. Frankly speaking, many insurance business activities can be accomplished with statistics including deciding a new location, marketing the product, and estimating what the profit will be on a new product and so forth that is why we underline the irreplaceable role of statistics in all stages of insurance business.
