Authors: Manna, Indranil; Pan, Swadesh Ranjan; Chowdhury2, Mahua
Abstract: The sports talent may be identified from the children of prepubertal, pubertal and postpubertal age group (10-16 yrs). In view of the above, a study was undertaken to investigate the anthropometric,
physical and cardiorespiratiory fitness of prepubertal, pubertal and postpubertal children. A total of 120 male children of 10-16 yrs age volunteered for this study; were divided equally into 3 groups (i) Prepubertal (age-11.0 ± 0.8yrs, n=40); (ii) Pubertal (age 13.5 ± 0.5 yrs, n=40); (iii) Postpubertal (age 15.5 ± 0.5 yrs,
n=40). Selected anthropometric, physical and cardiorespiratiory fitness variables were measured for each group. ANOVA followed by multiple comparison tests were performed to find out the significant difference
among the groups. A significantly (P<0.05) greater height, body mass, BSA, lean body mass (LBM), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC), hip and trunk flexibility, grip strengths, abdominal strength, elastic leg
strength, maximum speed, peak power, VO2max, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and blood pressure were
observed in Postpubertal children when compared to Prepubertal and Pubertal children. On the other hand, a significantly (P<0.05) lower percent body fat, reaction time, maximal heart rate (HRmax) and
recovery heart rates were noted in Postpubertal children when compared to Prepubertal and Pubertal children. The waist- hip ratio (WHR) of pubertal children was noted significantly higher (P<0.05) when
compared to prepubertal and postpurbertal children. However, no significant change was reported in BMI and resting heart rate among the groups. The study may be beneficial to identify the sports talent among prepubertal, pubertal and postpubertal (10-16 yrs) children

Authors: Sahu, Subhashis; Haldar, Prasun; Biswas, Susil Chandra; Biswas, Nirupam
Abstract: The health care units remain open 24 hours a day, all the days in a year. Health care unit personnel must work in shifts to render proper service to the people. They have to respond properly,
efficiently and effectively even in unforeseen situations. But work load in different shifts and impact of rotating shift upon the quality of performance and outcomes is an area that needs further exploration. The purpose of this present study is to assess the relationship between demanding work schedule and job
performance of the health care unit personnel. The study was conducted on 130 health care unit personnel in two different government hospitals of West Bengal. Heart rate monitoring, perceived exertion and
alertness rating were done to evaluate the psycho-physiological load of the personnel working in different shifts. Different performance evaluation tests were also carried out to evaluate the ability to perform
various repetitive tasks in different shifts.
It was observed that the nature of job demand in night shift is more in sychological domain rather than the
physiological one due to disruption of biological rhythms. Perceived exertion ratings were found to be
higher in night shifts and reaction time was found to be lower in both the morning and night shifts although there are individual variations in perception of shift work tolerance.
Word staffing based on job demand, shortening the length of the night shift, sufficient rest between shifts
and providing lifestyle training would help shift workers reduce their work load and improve performance.

Authors: Pandit, Prasanta Kumar
Abstract: Sundarban has a long history of management and conservation starting from Mauryan period (321-226 BC). During Gupta dynasty (320-415 AD) it was well managed. In Munhall period (1575-1765 AD)
Sundarban was mainly managed for revenue generation.First survey of Sundarban was carried out by Britishers in between period 1769-1773. Britishers allowed clearance of forest until 1855 before the
enactment of Forest Act. First management plan Sundarban was written in the year 1871 in which regulation
on harvesting of Sundari (Heritiera fomes) was prescribed. Some part of Sundarban was declared as reserve forest in the year 1878.Initially forest of Sundarban was thought to be an inexhaustible resource but
gradually thought it was not to be so. So different management plan recommended restriction and regulation on use of forest based resources. After 1878 different management plan was written before and
after Independence of India with various recommendations for better management and protection of unique biodiversity of Sundarbans. Out of total area (10,260 sq km) approximately 40% area falls under India rest of the part belongs to Bangladesh after independence of India. Owing to global importance of Indian
Sundarban it was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the year 1985 and Biosphere Reserve in the year 1989. Due to the presence of considerable tiger population Sundarban Tiger Reserve was
declared in the year 1973 with an area 2585 sq km. At present Indian Sundarban has a Tiger Reserve, National Park (1330.10 sq km) within Tiger Reserve area, three Wild Life Sanctuaries and rest of the area belongs to reserve forest.
