Etude sur la morphométrie du pied des Sikligars, Penjab
No full textA MORPHO-METRIC STUDY OF SIKLIGARS FOOT Summary. — Morphometric variations in foot of 100 couples of Sikligars of Punjab have been studied. The findings of the present study for foot measurements and digital formulae are consistent with the earlier reported studies from India for scheduled Castes/Tribes. Bilateral asymetry as well as sex differences for foot measurements are statistically significant among the Sikligars of Punjab.Résumé. — Les variations morphométriques du pied de 100 couples de Sikligars du Penjab sont étudiées. Les résultats concernant les mensurations et les longueurs relatives des orteils sont comparables avec des études précédentes sur des castes et des populations tribales de l'Inde. Une asymétrie bilatérale et des différences entre les sexes pour les mensurations sont statistiquement significatives chez cette population.Balgir R.S.

No full textThis article presents R.S. Peters’ theory of moral education embedded in his broad conception of morality. The author examines Peters’ views against the background of Kohlberg’s stage theory of moral development; hence, the positions of both thinkers are interwoven throughout the discussion. It addresses some central issues relevant to moral education such as, for example: cognitive and affective aspects of morality, and the acquisition of virtues. In the article the author argues that Peters’ account of moral development and moral education provides supplementation for the somewhat narrow theory developed by Kohlberg, thus establishing a broader framework relevant to moral education.status: Publishe
Identification of a rare blood group, "Bombay (Oh) phenotype," in Bhuyan tribe of Northwestern Orissa, India
No full textBackground: Blood group serology plays a vital role in transfusion
medicine. The Bombay (Oh) phenotype is characterized by the absence of
A, B, and H antigens on red cells and occurs rarely, especially in
tribal populations of India. Aims and Objectives: This is a
field-based random population study in the Bhuyan tribal community. The
study reports three cases of the rare Bombay (Oh) phenotype for the
first time in the Bhuyan tribe of Sundargarh district in North-Western
Orissa. Materials and Methods: Taking informed consent, red blood cells
of 836 Bhuyan subjects were tested with three antisera, i.e., anti-A,
anti-B, and anti-H (lectin) for forward reaction. Agglutinations of
plasma with A, B, and O (H) red cells (reverse reaction) were also
tested for the presence or absence of antibodies in the serum.
Specialized tests like absorption-elution, titration of naturally
occurring antibodies at different temperatures, inhibition of anti-H by
O saliva secretor, and determination of secretor status were performed.
Results: Three cases of a rare blood group, Bombay (Oh) phenotype, (2
out of 244 Khandayat Bhuyan and 1 out of 379 Paudi Bhuyan from Hemgiri
and Lahunipara blocks, respectively) in the Bhuyan tribe of Sundargarh
district in North-Western Orissa were detected, giving an incidence of
1 in 122 in Khandayat Bhuyan and 1 in 379 in Paudi Bhuyan, with an
average of 1 in 278 among the Bhuyan tribal population. This incidence
is high in comparison to earlier studies reported from India.
Conclusions: The practice of tribal and territorial endogamy in a
smaller effective populations (for example, there are only 3,521
individuals in Paudi Bhuyan) results in smaller marital distance and
inbreeding, leading to increased homozygous expression of rare
recessive genetic characters like the Bombay (Oh) phenotype. This study
further testifies that the incidence is higher in those states of India
where the consanguinity is a common practice
