It is often uttered that the young aged persons, particularly the students, are much reluctant in consuming sufficient amount of vegetables for supporting sound body functioning. The students of Khulna university have not yet been assessed regarding this issue. The study was conducted mainly to determine the vegetable consumption behavior of the students of Agrotechnology Discipline of Khulna University, Khulna-9208, Bangladesh. Data were collected from randomly selected one hundred twenty students of four batches of four different sessions (admission years: 2015 to 2018) of Agrotechnology Discipline on selected nine characteristics of the students along with their vegetable consumption behavior, through personal interview using an interview schedule during July-August, 2018. The overall average vegetable consumption rate by the students was 128.15 g/day/student. Most (95%) of the respondents showed low vegetable consumption behavior, while a few (4.17%) and very few (0.83%) students consumed above standard (>235 g/day/student) and standard (235 g/day/student) amount of vegetables respectively. All (100%) of the male students consumed below standard quantity of vegetables while most (90%) of the female students consumed below standard quantity of vegetables. But a few (8.3%) and a very few (1.67%) of female students consumed above standard and standard amount of vegetables, respectively. Most (95%) of the students, residing both halls and outside of the university campus, consumed below standard amount of vegetables followed by above standard and standard amount of vegetables. Female students consumed more vegetables (166.24 g/day/student) than the males (90.04 g/day/student) which differed significantly (t=9.73549; p<0.01). The students who resided outside of the halls consumed more quantity of vegetables (133.87 g/day/student) than the students residing in the halls (121.93 g/day/student) which also differed significantly (t=1.14668; p<0.01). Among the 10 selected characteristics of the respondents, only farm size (p<0.05) and nutritional knowledge (p<0.01) showed positive significant relationship with their overall vegetable consumption behavior. On the other hand, the annual family income, participation in co-curricular activities related organization, participation in co-curricular activities showed a negative significant relationship (p<0.01) with their overall vegetable consumption behavior. The hall authority of the university as well as guardians should take necessary initiatives to supply more amounts of vegetables in the diet of the students to ensure adequate amount of vegetable consumption.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of job stress on employee performance, including nature of stress, types of stress, and work stress that eventually influence employee performance and effectiveness. Despite huge investments in employee performance, organisations in Nigeria have not realized the causes of job stress. Few studies have been conducted to address the problem. The main objective of this research is to find out the effect job stress has on the performance of employees. Job stress can affect employee performance by when stress is not handled well, absenteeism, turnover and medical compensation increase and productivity decreases. To achieve a peak of performance, stress should be managed effectively, with the negative effects of stress minimized. The fact that the majority of the employees thought of leaving their job and felt that the organization did not care about them was a reflection of huge dissatisfaction that undoubtedly lowered performance. The organization must conduct a needs assessment for an Employee Assistance Programme. An Employee Assistance Programme has to be introduced for early identification and intervention on problems so that performance levels will increase.

The objectives of this study were to determine marketing channel and marketing margin of semiorganic rice, factors which affected marketing margin, and marketing efficiency of Bantul Regency semi-organic rice; so the producers can sell and deliver products at a minimal cost and fair price and profit. Farmer group samples were determined by purposive sampling, producer samples were determined by proportional sampling and merchant samples were determined by snowball sampling. Marketing margin was calculated from the difference between producer price and consumer price. The methods used to determine marketing margin factors is multiple linear regression analysis. Marketing efficiency was calculated from the proportion of the total marketing cost and the total value of the final product. Results of this research showed there were five marketing channels of Bantul Regency semi-organic rice. The shortest marketing channel was marketing channel I, in which the producers sell directly to consumers. The lowest marketing margin and the highest marketing efficiency was marketing channel I. Packaging cost, transportation cost, other costs, marketing volume, and marketing channel were the factors affecting marketing margin.

Socioeconomic factors play a crucial role and could affect nutritional status and health condition of the students which supposed to have relation with academic performances. Socioeconomic status could be deduced from the dietary intake profile of a person. This study was attempted to explore the current socioeconomic status based on dietary intake of the proportionate-randomly selected 138 students of 28 Disciplines of Khulna University. Data were on relevant indicators (personal: gender, age, family size and type; economic: monthly family income, monthly requirement of money, different sources of money, dependency extent on different sources, earning through private tuition, contribution to family from tuition earning, tuition earnings share to meet-up monthly monetary need, hamper of study due to private tuition and monthly expenditure) were identified and discussed in this study representing the common socioeconomic status of the students. Dietary food intake profile was determined by using 24-hour recall method where some indicators used including calorie intake from different meal times, calorie intake status in terms of different poverty scales (CBN- Cost of Basic Needs; HIES- Household Income and Expenditure Survey; and Students Need), daily dietary food cost (Taka) and monthly food cost status in terms of different poverty scales (mentioned earlier). The findings showed that the highest proportion (56.50%) of the respondents were female students, and highest proportion (64.49%) was 21-23 years aged. Majority of the respondents (76.10%) were from small sized (<5 members) nuclear (73.90%) 4,800 Taka and 5,900 Taka to achieve CBN, HIES and Students Need standard, respectively, for food consumption purpose. According to CBN scale, HIES scale and Students need scale, 70.30%, 76.80% and 93.5% student belonged to below poverty line. These results showing the students lower socioeconomic status. The university authority as well as government should take necessary steps to overcome this situation. The steps might include tuition fees waiver, Discipline’s and/or School’s scholarships, free seats in the residential halls, subsidized meal facilities in the dining of residential halls, study-loans, sponsorships for the poverty stricken students; and all these should be done fairly with unbiased and enthusiastic predisposition.

This study was conducted to assess postharvest quantitative losses including constrains in the supply chain of mango. The survey was conducted using structured and pre-tested interview schedules at four levels of mango supply chain including growers, ‘Bepari’, wholesalers, and retailers. For growers’ interview, four Upazillas of Chapai Nowabgonj (Chapai Nawabganj Sadar, Shibganj, Bholahat, and Gomostapur) and two upazillas of Rajshahi (Charghat and Bagha) were selected. For ‘Bepari’, wholesalers, and retailers survey was carried out in local assemble markets of Chapai Nawabganj and Rajshahi; wholesale and retail markets of Mymensingh and Dhaka. Nature of damage of mango was mainly bruises, cuts, sap burn, and vibration damage. The total postharvest loss of mango starting from harvest at growers’ level to different steps of postharvest supply chain was 30.65%. The individual losses at growers’, ‘Bepari’, wholesalers, and retailers’ levels were estimated to be 4.4%, 8.43%, 9.21%, and 8.61%, respectively. These losses occurred due mainly to the sub-standard handling practices, lack of proper transport and storage facilities, and ignorance of the stakeholders. To the growers, the major problems were related to fertilizer (adulteration and availability), and insect and disease attacks. To the intermediaries (‘Bepari’, wholesalers, and retailers) the major problems were concerned with transportation and storage facility.
