This hypothesis-generating study used a cognitive behavioral approach and Brunswik’s lens model for subjective risk parameters across eight countries. In Germany, Poland, Israel, the United States, Brazil, India, Malaysia, and Australia, 812 field interviews took place with a uniform set of 37 questions about weather interest, media access, elementary meteorological knowledge, weather fear, preparedness, loss due to weather, and sociodemography. The local randomized quota samples were strictly tested for sample errors; however, they cannot be considered representative for individual countries due to sample size and methodology.

  • Publication No.50 EVALUATION REPORT on REGISTRATION OF
    Publication No.50 GOVERNMENT OF NAGALAND EVALUATION REPORT ON REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN NAGALAND DIRECTORATE OF EVALUATION GOVERNMENT OF NAGALAND KOHIMA Foreword The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is more than a decade old, hut even today more than a third of all children are denied the right to an identity. Article 7 of the UN convention on the Rights of the Child states: "The child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right from birth to-a name, the right to acquire a nationality and, as far as possible the right to know and be cared for by his or her parents." Every year about 40 million children are born without being registered. Six our ten unregistered new-borns are in South and South-east Asia. Some countries have achieved universal registration and others report having made significant progress in increasing birth-registration, during the decade. Decentralization, mobilization, campaigns. With active participation of civil society, elimination of registration fees, removal of legal or administrative obstacles, such as the requirement that the child's parents present their identity papers, and registration of children in health facilities, where thy. are born are among the measures that have proved effective in increasing registration rates. The registration of births & death in India has been made compulsory under the Registration of Births & Deaths (RBD) Act, 1969, It provides for a statutory authority at the Centre and in State. It enables the Central Government to provide uniformity and comparability in registration and compilation of vital statistics allowing enough scope to the States, to develop an efficient system of-registration suited to the regional conditions and needs.

  • Study on Soil Fertility Status Influenced by Direct Seeded and Transplanted
    Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry 2017; SP1: 175-179 E-ISSN: 2278-4136 P-ISSN: 2349-8234 Study on soil fertility status influenced by direct seeded JPP 2017; SP1: 175-179 and transplanted rice under Kohima district of Nagaland PK Singh Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, PK Singh and Amenla Jamir SASRD, Nagaland University, Medziphema, Nagaland, India Abstract Amenla Jamir In the present investigation, soil fertility status of directed seeded and transplanted rice under Kohima Department of Agricultural district of Nagaland were studied. The soils of the study area were strong to moderate acidic in reaction Chemistry and Soil Science, with pH ranged from 4.94 to 5.58 and EC ranged from 0.04 to 0.15 dSm-1, respectively. The soils were SASRD, Nagaland University, high in organic carbon and potassium. Organic carbon ranged from 0.80 to 2.02 (%) and potassium Medziphema, Nagaland, India ranged from 279.6 to 520.4 kg ha-1, respectively. The available nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur ranged from low to medium, respectively. Keywords: soil fertility status, land use system, rice soil Introduction Continuous cropping for enhanced yield removes substantial amounts of nutrients from soil. Imbalance and inadequate use of chemical and fertilizers, improper irrigation and various cultural practices also deplete the soil quality rapidly (Medhe et al. 2012) [15]. Soil fertility fluctuates throughout the growing season each year due to alteration in the quality and availability of mineral nutrients by the addition to leaching. Evaluation of fertility status of the soils of an area or a region is important aspect in the context of sustainable agriculture (Singh and Mishra, 2012) [30].

  • Nagaland – a World of Its Own
    Nagaland – A world of its own S.V.Ngachan, Anupam Mishra,Swati Choudhury, Ramesh Singh and Bendangla Imsong North Eastern region of India comprising the eight states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura is endowed with vast natural resources and has enormous potential for improvement. The strategic importance of the region along with its sensitive geopolitical location; extremely diverse nature of its population with different cultural, linguistic, religious, and historical background makes this region characteristically different from the rest of the country. In fact its diversity is so profound that the region may be called a mini India. Nagaland is one of the eight states in the north-eastern region of India. Approximately, it lies between 250 6’ and 270 4’ latitude, north of equator and between the longitudinal lines 930 20’ E and 950 15’ E. Its state capital is Kohima and the tribes are Angami, Ao, Chakesang, Sema, Chang, Khiamungan, Kuki, Konyak, Lotha, Phom, Pochury, Rengma, Sumi, Sangtam, Yimchungre, and Zeliang as per schedule. The area of the state is 16, 527 sq.km. Population is 19, 88,636 and population density is 120 persons per sq.km. The literacy rate is 67.11%. Nagaland comprises of a part of the hill ranges, which separates the basins of three major rivers- the Brahmaputra, the Chindwin and the Barak. There are around 1,317 villages in Nagaland. About 150 of these are located in the foothills, along the state’s boundary with Assam in the west. The remaining villages are located on the top of ridges or on slopes, at altitudes of 500 to 2,500 meters above mean sea level.
