ThesisItem Open Access Physico-Chemical Characteristics and Cooking Quality of Black Soybean(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2018-07) Sumangala, S.; Kulkarni, Uma N.A total of three soybean genotypes including two black - Kalitur and DSM with one yellow – DSb 21 were procured during kharif, 2017, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad were analyzed for physico-chemical composition, cooking quality and acceptability. A significant variation was found in physical and functional characteristics of black and yellow soybean genotypes. The DSM genotype had highest weight (16.85 g), length (7.26 mm), breadth (6.69 mm), thickness (5.53 mm) and swelling capacity (0.20 ml) compared to Kalitur and DSb 21. Significant variation was observed in the proximate, mineral matter and antinutrient contents of soybean genotypes. The highest moisture was recorded in Kalitur with hull (12.00 g) and without hull (10.72 g). The fat content of soybean genotype ranged between 17.86 - 19.76 g per 100 g with maximum in Kalitur followed by DSb 21 and DSM. Significantly high amount of protein was observed in the DSb 21 with hull (43.63 g) and without hull (42.73 g). Black soybean DSM genotype with and without hull had significantly high content of crude fiber (6.30 g and 4.54 g) and ash (5.82 and 5.52 g) respectively. The dietary fiber content including insoluble dietary fiber, soluble dietary fiber, total dietary fiber, tannin and phytic acid were found to be highest in DSM genotype. Among the mineral matter, calcium was found to be highest in DSb 21. The iron content of soybean genotypes with and without hull ranged between (268 to 341 ppm and 218 to 292 ppm). Pressure cooked DSM genotype had high acceptability over boiling method. The DSM black soybean hurigalu was optimized by soaking seeds for 14 hr, shade drying for 8 hr followed by popping at 270 ºC. Utility of black soybean in traditional (bhaji) and convenience food (hurigalu) revealed high acceptability.ThesisItem Open Access Socio-Emotional Development and Adaptive Behavior of Young Children and it’s Correlates(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2018-10) Ekka, Anish Fatima; Khadi, Pushpa B.The socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour of 240 young children (24-42 months) of Dharwad taluk of northern Karnataka and Bilaspur of Chhattisgarh was studied through a differential research design during 2017-2018 revealed that higher percentage of children from both rural and urban area were below average in socio-emotional development, while in adaptive behaviour maximum percentage of rural Bilaspur children belonged to average level and urban children were above average. But majority of Dharwad children were in average level. There is a need to provide educational intervention for parents to provide early stimulation for children. Age, gender, pre-school attendance and socio-economic status significantly influenced both socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour. Female children from high socio-economic status with preschool attendance had better socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour. Ordinal position, nutritional status and mother’s age were significantly associated with socio-emotional development where in first born with good nutritional status scored better than later borns. Parenting significantly influenced both socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour, indicating that children experiencing high parenting quality exhibited advancement in socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour. So, a need to educate parents on “positive parenting”. There was no significant influence of number of sibling’s, parent’s educational level, father’s age, occupation and family type on both socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour. Socio-emotional and adaptive behaviour sub scale of Bayley scale of infant and toddler development was administered to children and parents were interviewed. Parenting was assessed by Smith et al.tool (2012). Chi square and correlation was used to know the association /relation between selected factors and socio-emotional development and adaptive behaviour of children.ThesisItem Open Access Menopausal Changes in Urban and Rural Women: Prevalence, Correlates and Intervention(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2018-08) Patil, Suma G.; Hunshal, Saraswati C.The present study was conducted during the year 2014-2017 with the objective to study prevalence of menopausal symptoms, factors influencing menopausal changes and to assess the quality of life among urban and rural women in three districts of Northern Karnataka. Multistage sampling technique was used to draw sample from urban and rural areas of Dharwad, Vijayapura and Uttarkannada districts. Self structured questionnaire, a green’s climacterics, physical activity checklist, WHOQOL–BRIEF, nutritional status, socio-economic status, depression, stress, knowledge level was assessed using standard tools. The results indicated that the mean age of attainment of menopause women in Northern Karnataka was 45.74 years. Whereas, the mean age of attainment of menopause among urban women was 45.37 years and 46.11 years in rural women. Most prevalent physical and psychological symptoms among urban and rural women were feeling tense or nervous, difficulty to concentrate, loss of feeling in hand. In both urban and rural area majority of premenopausal women had mild symptoms while peri and post menopausal women had moderate to severe symptoms. BMI and stress had positive and significant influence on menopausal symptoms while physical activity had negative and significant influence on menopausal symptoms. Both urban and rural women had low physical, psychological and social quality of life. Where as in case of overall and environmental quality of life majority of urban women had medium to high quality of life and rural women exhibited low quality of life. Among factors studied menopausal symptoms and depression had negative significant influence on quality of life. The efficacy of educational package on menopause transition and its management through diet and lifestyle guidance was tested on 20 menopausal women. The results indicated significant increase in knowledge score after intervention (t-value = 12.75) thus intervention programme was found to be effective in improving knowledge level of menopausal women.ThesisItem Open Access Psychological Well-Being of Urban and Rural Adults: an Exploration of Perceived Stress and Coping Strategies(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2018-08) Devaramane, Pratibha H; Yenagi, Ganga V.The present investigation was undertaken in the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2017-18. A random sample of 360 adults (180 rural and 180 urban) from Dharwad and Gadag districts were selected. A sample of 180 adults comprised of 60 emerging, 60 young and 60 middle adults. Psychological Well-being Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations and Socio-Economic Scale were used. The data were subjected to ‘t’ test, One way ANOVA, correlation and regression. The results revealed that about half of the urban adults had medium level of psychological well-being while half of rural adults had higher level of psychological well-being. Half of the urban adults employed average level of task-oriented coping, emotion-oriented coping and avoidance-oriented coping strategies. Majority of rural adults employed above average emotion-oriented task-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping strategies. Majority of the urban and rural adults had medium level of perceived stress. Among urban adults, emerging adults had significantly better autonomy than young and middle adults. In rural area, young adults had significantly better overall psychological well-being than emerging and middle adults. There was significant difference between urban adult groups on perceived stress. Young adults had lower level of perceived stress than emerging and middle adults. In urban area, significant gender difference was found for task-oriented coping strategies while in rural area significant gender difference was found for task-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping strategies. Males scored higher than females on task-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping strategies in both urban and rural areas. Age, education, income, size of family, socio-economic status were significantly related to psychological well-being and coping strategies of adults while age and occupation were significantly related to perceived stress. Perceived stress, task-oriented coping and emotion-oriented coping strategies were significantly related to psychological well-being.ThesisItem Open Access Socio-Emotional Behaviour, Cognitive Abilities and Nutritional Status: Prevalence, Correlates and Intervention(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2018-07) Onkari, Daneshwari; Itagi, SunandaStudy was conducted in the year 2016-2018 in Dharwad taluka of Karnataka state. Correlation and differential research design were used. For the prevalence of orphans, 5 percent of villages of Dharwad taluka and Dharwad city were randomly selected. Out of 5128 children, 398 were orphans which indicated 8.97 per cent of prevalence rate in Dharwad taluka. Further 124 orphans from rural area and 110 institutionalized orphans were randomly selected in the age range of 6-18 years to know the influence of personal and familial factors on their socio-emotional behavior, cognitive abilities and nutritional status. The self structured questionnaire, child behaviour checklist, WISC III and socio- economic status scales were used for data collection. Result highlighted that, 49.2 per cent were paternal orphans, 61.3 per cent of them had low level of resilience and 55.6 per cent of them had high level of vulnerability. About 41.3 per cent of orphans experienced more than 5 years of orphanhood. More than half of the orphans (61.3 %) were in clinical range, 24.2 per cent of them were in normal category and only 14.5 per cent of them were in borderline category of socio-emotional behaviour. Vulnerability, conflict, resilience, period of orphanhood and age of the child together found to be significantly influencing on socio-emotional behavior of orphans. 53.8 per cent of orphan children were in the average level of IQ category followed by low average and high average. Boys were having high IQ in verbal, performance as well as full scale intelligence. Almost equal percentages (48-51%) of the orphans belonged to underweight as well as normal category of nutritional status. Age and birth order were significant predictor of nutritional status and explained about 26.0 per cent of variation in the nutritional status of rural orphans. The intervention programme had significant impact on socio-emotional behaviour of orphan children. There was significant reduction in behaviour problems of children.
