A writing test was administered to know the learning difficulties/disability. Emotional problems were assessed through teachers' ratings using emotional problem scale developed by Prout and Strohmer (1985) and two semesters grades were obtained from school records to know the academic achievement of selected children. Results revealed that prevalence was found to an extent of 21 per cent, among which 17 per cent of children had learning difficulties and 4 per cent had learning disability. The learning disabilities was found in writing errors such as substitutions, reversals, omissions, other than punctuation errors and wrong capitals etc. Boys had 2-4 times more learning difficulties / disability than girls. The learning difficulties were due to factors such as change in medium of instruction and number of hours spent by parents for coaching at home. Children with learning difficulties/disability had 2-4 times more emotional problems viz., thought disorder, verbal aggression, physical aggression distractibility, somatic concerns, non-compliance, withdrawal, depression, low self-esteem and hyperactivity than their peers in the other group and were low in academic achievement. Girls performed better than boys irrespective of their difficulties and boys with learning difficulties/disability had relatively low academic achievement indicating learning difficulties as one of the important cause of failure in school. A high prevalence of learning difficulties/disability is an alarming condition that needs attention and early intervention.

    KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES REGARDING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AMONG LAMBANI WOMEN OF BIJAPUR TALUK JAYASHREE PAWAR 2004 ABSTRACT Dr.(Mrs.) K. SAROJA MAJOR ADVISOR This study conducted in Bijapur taluk during 2003, aimed at having a comprehensive picture of reproductive health of Lambani women. 150 married women in their reproductive years were selected by proportionate randomization. Interview, informal group discussion, personal observation were the data collection methods used. Majority were illiterates (89%), agricultural labourers (55%). Majority had more than four children. Child wastage in the form of abortions, still-births, neonatal deaths, infant deaths was found among 52 per cent of respondents. Results revealed that majority suffered from reproductive health problems related to maternity. Respondents faced more problems during perinatal period as compared to prenatal and postnatal periods, as most of the deliveries were conducted at home by untrained persons (88%). Regarding other reproductive health problems 54 per cent of respondents suffered menstrual problems, 16 per cent vaginal problem, 7 per cent uterine problems. Few effective indigenous treatments for vaginal tear documented in this study. 73 per cent of respondents were found to be sterilized after attaining their desired family size. Among those who were sterilized 75 per cent suffered post sterilization health problems. Severe backache and headache were most common problems (47%). The remaining 27 per cent were not following family planning. Of these some wanted more children (35%) and some preferred male child (33%). Regarding non-utilization of health services, inaccessibility of health centre was the main reason. 52 per cent reported non-cordial behaviour of PHC staff was the reason. As the ANM's visit was rare in Tandas. Only 50 per cent respondents received and took IFA tablets 38 per cent did not receive T.T. injection. Results imply need for mobile clinics which can reach remote Tandas. As many ANM's complained about 3-4 km distance to travel extra 3-4 km to reach Tanda by walk. Hence there is need for health education, quality health services during childbirth and orientation of PHC staff towards Lambani women's needs.

    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK ,BANGALORE, 21-01-04) INAMATI, VIJAYALAXMI; SAROJA, K.
    This exploratory study was conducted on a randomized sample of 90 rural and 90 urban school girls, who have reached menarche from government schools in Dharwad taluka. Interviews were conducted using a self-constructed, pretested schedule for data collection. The data were analysed in frequencies and percentages. Results revealed that, majority of rural and urban girls came from low socio-economic class and from nuclear families. Mothers of majority of respondents studied upto only primary school. Majority of respondents were found to have reached menarche around 13-14 years of age. In majority of girls, the period of menses was 5 days. In case of rural respondents the length of the menstrual cycle was found to be longer than those from urban girls. Majority (89%) of girls found to be suffering from, on an average of three menstrual problems, requiring medical treatment. The most common problems among rural and urban girls was lower-stomUch pain and pre-menstrual tension respectively. Majority did not take treatment, since they considered these problems as natural and universal. All girls took bath once a day during menses and barring four girls, the rest used old clothes as sanitary pods. Eventhough all girls knew about the interval between menses and period of menses, only few had the knowledge of process of menstruation and its importance in reproduction. Eventhough all schools were found to have toilets, majority of the girls were found to be not using them during menses, as these toilets were not well maintained lacking in water facilities and privacy. The study recommended proper education of school girls regarding the menstrual cycle and its relation to reproduction, importance of taking treatment for menstrual problems and the required proper sanitary care. Good maintenance of toilets with good privacy and water supply were recommended.

    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BANGALORE, 21-01-04) VEENA, M; PUSHPA KHADI
    The study on Influence of Family Functioning and Social climate on Adolescent's Adjustment, conducted on a sample of 240 Pre-University students of Arts faculty (16-18 years), selected from 6 co-educational colleges of Dharwad taluk of Karnataka state, revealed that family functioning was significantly related to the adjustment of adolescents. Social activities of boys and parental support was significantly more than girls. The family functioning and its dimensions viz., family cohesion, communication, enmeshment and conflict, of both 1 and 11 year boys and girls fell in the normal range. The family conflict had an adverse effect on the adolescent's adjustment. The family conflict was significantly lesser in joint families compared to nuclear families. With regard to social climate, most of the adolescents were dis-satisfied regarding their aspiration for friendship. A higher percentage of adolescents had friendship with opposite gender, choose friends by personal characteristics, followed by academic standards. The parents also insisted such traits in selection of friends. Sociometric status was significantly related to mother's education, but was negatively related to sibling size. While the choice of gender of friends was significantly related to sigling size indicating about 25 percent of both boys and girls had poor adjustment. Adolescents from joint families had unsatisfactory adjustment compared to the adolescents from nuclear families. Cohesion and enmeshment were negatively related to communication and conflict. Adolescents who lacked parental support aspired for more friends. But higher parental support suppressed adolescent's adjustment
