Title: Socioeconomic status of Khulna university students deduced from their dietary intake profile
Abstract
Socioeconomic factors play a crucial role and could affect nutritional status and health condition of the students which supposed to have relation with academic performances. Socioeconomic status could be deduced from the dietary intake profile of a person. This study was attempted to explore the current socioeconomic status based on dietary intake of the proportionate-randomly selected 138 students of 28 Disciplines of Khulna University. Data were on relevant indicators (personal: gender, age, family size and type; economic: monthly family income, monthly requirement of money, different sources of money, dependency extent on different sources, earning through private tuition, contribution to family from tuition earning, tuition earnings share to meet-up monthly monetary need, hamper of study due to private tuition and monthly expenditure) were identified and discussed in this study representing the common socioeconomic status of the students. Dietary food intake profile was determined by using 24-hour recall method where some indicators used including calorie intake from different meal times, calorie intake status in terms of different poverty scales (CBN- Cost of Basic Needs; HIES- Household Income and Expenditure Survey; and Students Need), daily dietary food cost (Taka) and monthly food cost status in terms of different poverty scales (mentioned earlier). The findings showed that the highest proportion (56.50%) of the respondents were female students, and highest proportion (64.49%) was 21-23 years aged. Majority of the respondents (76.10%) were from small sized (<5 members) nuclear (73.90%) family and belonged to low (<30,000 Taka; 43.50%) to medium (30,000-50,000 Taka; 41.30%) income family. The mean amount of required money per month was 6,902.90 Taka. The findings showed that family (50%) and family+private tuition (30.40%) were the most important sources of money for the students. Among the respondents 46.40% provided private tuition and 4.30% contributed to family from the earnings from private tuition. About one-fifth (20.30%) of the respondents said that they earn 50% share of monthly expenditure from private tuition; and 36.30% mentioned that tuition time and their effort in tuition had a negative impact on their own study. This negative impact could be overcome through judicious time management between tuition providing and university’s academic need. Monthly average expenditure for study purpose was only 17.80% and monthly average food cost was 28.80%. Average total calorie intake was 1,923.90 Kilocalories student-1 day-1 which was below standard in terms different poverty scales. The research findings showed that a student should spend 132 Taka per day to achieve 1,923.90 Kilocalorie (average) and monthly food expenditure should be 3,960 Taka. In this way a student should spend 4,368 Taka, 4,800 Taka and 5,900 Taka to achieve CBN, HIES and Students Need standard, respectively, for food consumption purpose. According to CBN scale, HIES scale and Students need scale, 70.30%, 76.80% and 93.5% student belonged to below poverty line. These results showing the students lower socioeconomic status. The university authority as well as government should take necessary steps to overcome this situation. The steps might include tuition fees waiver, Discipline’s and/or School’s scholarships, free seats in the residential halls, subsidized meal facilities in the dining of residential halls, study-loans, sponsorships for the poverty stricken students; and all these should be done fairly with unbiased and enthusiastic predisposition.

Title: Vegetable consumption of the students of Khulna university in Bangladesh
Abstract
It is often uttered that the young aged persons, particularly the students, are much reluctant in consuming sufficient amount of vegetables for supporting sound body functioning. The students of Khulna university have not yet been assessed regarding this issue. The study was conducted mainly to determine the vegetable consumption behavior of the students of Agrotechnology Discipline of Khulna University, Khulna-9208, Bangladesh. Data were collected from randomly selected one hundred twenty students of four batches of four different sessions (admission years: 2015 to 2018) of Agrotechnology Discipline on selected nine characteristics of the students along with their vegetable consumption behavior, through personal interview using an interview schedule during July-August, 2018. The overall average vegetable consumption rate by the students was 128.15 g/day/student. Most (95%) of the respondents showed low vegetable consumption behavior, while a few (4.17%) and very few (0.83%) students consumed above standard (>235 g/day/student) and standard (235 g/day/student) amount of vegetables respectively. All (100%) of the male students consumed below standard quantity of vegetables while most (90%) of the female students consumed below standard quantity of vegetables. But a few (8.3%) and a very few (1.67%) of female students consumed above standard and standard amount of vegetables, respectively. Most (95%) of the students, residing both halls and outside of the university campus, consumed below standard amount of vegetables followed by above standard and standard amount of vegetables. Female students consumed more vegetables (166.24 g/day/student) than the males (90.04 g/day/student) which differed significantly (t=9.73549; p<0.01). The students who resided outside of the halls consumed more quantity of vegetables (133.87 g/day/student) than the students residing in the halls (121.93 g/day/student) which also differed significantly (t=1.14668; p<0.01). Among the 10 selected characteristics of the respondents, only farm size (p<0.05) and nutritional knowledge (p<0.01) showed positive significant relationship with their overall vegetable consumption behavior. On the other hand, the annual family income, participation in co-curricular activities related organization, participation in co-curricular activities showed a negative significant relationship (p<0.01) with their overall vegetable consumption behavior. The hall authority of the university as well as guardians should take necessary initiatives to supply more amounts of vegetables in the diet of the students to ensure adequate amount of vegetable consumption.

Title: Effects of job stress on employee’s performance
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of job stress on employee performance, including nature of stress, types of stress, and work stress that eventually influence employee performance and effectiveness. Despite huge investments in employee performance, organisations in Nigeria have not realized the causes of job stress. Few studies have been conducted to address the problem. The main objective of this research is to find out the effect job stress has on the performance of employees. Job stress can affect employee performance by when stress is not handled well, absenteeism, turnover and medical compensation increase and productivity decreases. To achieve a peak of performance, stress should be managed effectively, with the negative effects of stress minimized. The fact that the majority of the employees thought of leaving their job and felt that the organization did not care about them was a reflection of huge dissatisfaction that undoubtedly lowered performance. The organization must conduct a needs assessment for an Employee Assistance Programme. An Employee Assistance Programme has to be introduced for early identification and intervention on problems so that performance levels will increase.
