Traditionally, extracts of mud dauber nest are used to treat digestive problem and various ailments. The current study deals with the analysis of physico-chemical composition of the nest soil and isolation of bacteria that have potential biochemical and therapeutic importance. Four nest samples of black and yellow mud dauber wasp were collected. The physico-chemical analysis yields the following results-pH 6.64, electrical conductivity 0.05 dS/m and organic carbon 0.59%. Among the macronutrients and micronutrients, higher content of potassium (430.08 kg/ha) and manganese (1251.67 ppm) were found respectively. Bacterial populations were isolated by serial dilution. Out of seven colonies, three well-defined colonies (IK1, IK2, and IK3) were sub-cultured and characterized. Biochemical analysis showed IK1 were positive for catalase, citrate and starch hydrolysis test, IK2 were positive for catalase and motility test while IK3 showed positive result for macconkey agar, catalase and motility test. The antibiotic sensitivity test showed that IK1 were sensitive to tetracycline and kanamycin while IK2 and IK3 were sensitive to kanamycin. In order to identify the antimicrobial factor present in these bacterial isolates further studies are needed.

From the ancient periods most of the people use lots of herbal medicine. The Syzygium cumini Linn plant has a many medicinal properties. The S. cumini belong to the Myrtaceae family and occurs in tropical and subtropical region of world. This plant origin is South Asia. In India plant found all over the country and it is used for food and medicine. The present study was conducted to investigate the primary phytochemical and pharmacognostic study of S. cumini . The leaves, stem-bark and fruits this plant parts used for the study of primary phytochemical and pharmacognostic examination. The pharmacognostic study based the parameter of macroscopic, microscopic and physico-chemical analysis of plant. The characteristic microscopic features of leaf and stem were observed as stomata, trichomes, multicellular trichomes, phloem cells, xylem cells, collenchyma, spongy parenchyma, vascular bundles and palisade cells. The plant parts like stem, leaves, fruits and seeds of S. cumini were collected from local forest of Nanded. The moisture content, swelling index, foaming index and fluoresces analysis of powder were characterised. Fluoresces analysis of S. cumini crude powder of leaf, stem and fruits under visible and UV light were recorded. Investigation of primary phytochemical analysis were carried out by the qualitative phytochemical test which showed the presence of alkaloids, tannin, flavonoids, saponin, steroids, triterpenoids, phenol, carbohydrate etc. The results obtained in present study will helps to understand importance of S. cumini in medicinal field.
自古以来，大多数人都使用大量草药。茜草具有多种药用价值。茜草属于桃金娘科，分布于世界热带和亚热带地区。这种植物起源于南亚。在印度，这种植物遍布全国各地，被用作食物和药物。本研究旨在调查 S. cumini 的主要植物化学成分和药理研究。该植物的叶、茎皮和果实被用于初级植物化学和药理检查研究。药理研究以植物的宏观、微观和理化分析参数为基础。叶和茎的显微特征包括气孔、毛状体、多细胞毛状体、韧皮部细胞、木质部细胞、胶原、海绵状实质、维管束和栅栏细胞。孜然的茎、叶、果实和种子等植物部分采自南德当地的森林。对粉末的含水量、膨胀指数、发泡指数和荧光分析进行了表征。在可见光和紫外光下，对 S. cumini 的叶、茎和果实粗粉进行了荧光分析。通过定性植物化学测试对初级植物化学分析进行了调查，结果显示存在生物碱、单宁、黄酮类、皂苷、甾体、三萜类、酚、碳水化合物等。本研究获得的结果将有助于了解 S. cumini 在药用领域的重要性。

Adolescence is a transition stage from childhood to adulthood, with unique developmental milestones. The thoughts, ideas, and concepts developed during adolescent stage of life hugely influence one’s future life as well as play a major role in the formation of personality and character. The study investigates the relationship of resilience with general intelligence among adolescents. A random sampling technique was employed to select 192 adolescents studying in private and government schools. The study reveals that majority of rural adolescents possessed with average resilience level and most of the adolescents from urban area had below average resilience level. Interestingly, both rural and urban adolescents achieved similar mean scores on general intelligence. However, there is no significant association between general intelligence and resilience among rural adolescents. Nevertheless, a statistically significant correlation exists between resilience and general intelligence, as well as general intelligence found to be a significant predicting factor of adolescents resilience
