This article provides a review of research published since 1980 on the benefits of humancompanion animal interaction. Studies focusing on the benefits of pet ownership are presented first, followed by research on the benefits of interacting with companion animal that are not owned by the subject (animal-assisted activities). While most of the published studies are descriptive and have been conducted with convenience samples, a promising number of controlled studies support the health benefits of interacting with companion animals. Future research employing more rigorous designs and systematically building upon a clearly defined line of inquiry is needed to advance our knowledge of the benefits of human-companion animal interaction.

In the present study the perception of rural youth towards agriculture as an occupation is conducted in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 120 respondents were selected for the study from three mandalsEtcherla, Kaviti, and Mandasa. The respondents were interviewed personally with the help of interview schedule developed. The results revealed that majority (63.33%) of rural youth had medium level of perception followed by the rest with high (20.00%) and low (16.67%) level of perception.

Foxtail millet bran obtained during milling or dehulling of grains are usually thrown, underutilized or find utility as animal feed. Given the excellent nutritional profile, antioxidant potential and health benefits associated with foxtail millet bran it can be used in formulating value added snacks. Thus, present study aimed at designing and evaluating muffins developed from refined wheat flour with incorporation of foxtail millet bran at 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%. Sensory evaluation results disclose that there was no significant difference in scores of control and muffins up to 30% bran addition. All bran enriched muffins scored above 7 and were acceptable up to 30%. Physical properties revealed that insignificant increase in weight and decrease in height and baking rate loss was noted in bran enriched muffins. Overall, it can be concluded that foxtail bran can be used as potential ingredient in value addition of muffins.

The present investigation was conducted during 2019-20 at CCS HAU, Hisar, Haryana to find out the most suitable variety and growing condition for the production Asiatic lily. The experiment comprised of 12 treatment combinations [4 varieties (Courier White, Tresor, Nova Lux & Red Stone) and 3 growing conditions (polyhouse of 200 μ, green shade-net of 50% shade & open field)], each replicated thrice. The results revealed that the variety Tresor performed better in most of the floral parameters viz. early floral bud emergence (54.11 days), early colour change of first floral bud (103.08 days), early opening of first flower (105.19 days); and maximum floral bud length (9.52 cm), floral bud diameter (3.28 cm), stem/stick length (83.49 cm) and stem/stick diameter (1.03 cm) as compared to other varieties. Red Stone variety performed next to Tresor in various parameters viz. days taken to emergence of flower bud, floral bud length, floral bud diameter, stick length and stem/stick diameter. However, the maximum number of flowering buds/plant (6.97) were obtained in variety Nova Lux followed by Tresor (4.20) and the maximum flower diameter (20.02 cm) was recorded in variety Courier White followed by Red Stone (18.35 cm). Out of the three growing conditions, varieties of Asiatic lily cultivated under polyhouse comparatively performed better in most of the floral parameters, resulting in early bud emergence (49.83 days), early colour change of first floral bud (99.32 days), early opening of first flower (102.68 days). In addition, maximum number of flowering buds/plant (5.06), floral bud diameter (3.42 cm), flower diameter (20.59 cm) and stick length (100.00 cm) were also observed under polyhouse. However, the floral bud length (9.89 cm) was recorded maximum under shade-net, whereas stick diameter (1.05 cm) was recorded maximum under open field condition. Henceforth, varieties viz. Tresor and Red Stone grown under polyhouse performed comparatively better than the other treatment combinations of varieties and growing conditions.

The study was carried out in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh with the aim to understand socio-economic status and livelihood opportunities of farming communities practicing agroforestry systems. It is evident from the study that majority of medium farmer community were having joint families, while small and marginal farmers had nuclear families. High literacy rate is one of the main characteristic feature of the study area. Major part of the study area is rainfed (>70 per cent) and farmers were doing their farming in a traditional way. The average land holding size was recorded in the tune 1.57 ha, 1.55 ha, 1.74 ha, 1.66 ha and 1.82 ha, in altitudinal zone-I, II, III, IV and V, respectively. The sampled farmers meet their livelihood through horticulture, agriculture/agroforestry and services in both government and private sectors.

A differential research design to know the effects of age, gender and socio-economic status on cognitive impairment among 240 elderly revealed that female elderly of urban Northern Karnataka were in higher percentages in middle stage of impairment. Age of the elderly was highly and significantly associated with cognitive impairment where in young old (60-74 years) performed better than older elderly (75-110 years) in Northern Karnataka and Upper Assam. Elderly of higher socio-economic status of Upper Assam were significantly better than lower socio-economic status. Mini-Mental State Examination developed by Flostein and Flostein (1975) and Aggarwal et al. (2005) socio-economic status scale were used.

A study was conducted on the impact of Covid 19 pandemic among selected microenterprises of women’s Self Help Groups (SHGs) in marine fisheries sector in Kerala State. Their level of performance and extent of empowerment were assessed through appropriate indices of measurement based on the data from SHGs of 16 different conspicuous fishery based micro enterprises in Kerala state. The gender analysis and economic feasibility analysis based on personal interview and focus group interaction meetings with members of SHGs were undertaken. The male and female counterparts of the families of respondents were separately interviewed to assess the gender mainstreaming impact in terms of equity and equality to access and control over the resources, participation profile, decision making, gender need analysis etc.

Seed grading is the important practice for better crop establishment and to improve recovery percentage of seeds and also useful in separation of quality seed in a seed lot. In this context the present study was conducted to know the influence of size grading using different sieves of 3.75 mm, 4.00 mm, 4.3 mm, 4.50 mm and 4.75 mm size. The results revealed that seed recovery in 3.75mm sieves was higher than the seeds retained other sieves but the quality of seeds retained in 3.75mm sieves was higher than the Minimum Seed Certification Standard level for germination. Hence, grading of redgram cv., TS 3R size graded with 3.75mm (S) sieve recorded more seed recovery with Minimum Seed Certification standard (MSCS) for seed approval by Govt. of India.

In the present investigation the physical properties of Eucalyptus hybrid clones. The study was carried out in the Laboratory of College of Forestry, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha during the period 2017-2018. In the study the tree were harvested at the stump height and wood dices of 2 cm height are cut from the basal portion of the tree from fine section representing five year growth approximately and labeled as 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th , 5 th yr respectively. The experiment resulted mean density (33.20 %) and specific gravity (0.95) is more in Titlagrah in comparison to density (31.80 %) and specific gravity (0.89) of Bissamcuttack. The result indicates its utility as preferred raw material for pulp and paper making.
