The crude methanol extract of Clerodendron viscosum Vent. (Verbenaceae) leaves was evaluated for its antiinflammatory, antinociceptive, and neuropharmacological activities. When given orally to rats at doses of 200 and 400 mg=kg of body weight, the extract showed a significant (p < 0.001) anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan-induced rat paw edema comparable with the standard drug phenylbutazone at the dose of 100 mg=kg of body weight. It also produced a significant writhing inhibition in acetic acid-induced writhing in mice at the oral dose of 250 and 500 mg=kg of body weight (p < 0.001), which was comparable with the standard drug diclofenac sodium at the dose of 25 mg=kg of body weight. Moreover, when given intraperitoneally to albino mice, it potentiated the pentobarbital-induced sleeping time (p < 0.001), decreased the open field score in open field test (p < 0.001), decreased the number of holes crossed from one chamber to the other in the hole-cross test (p < 0.001), and decreased the head dip responses in the hole-board test (p < 0.001) at the dose of 250 and 500 mg=kg of body weight. The overall results tend to suggest the anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and central nervous system depressant activities of the crude methanol extract of Clerodendron viscosum.

This study aimed at investigating the relationship between green human resource management (Green HRM) practices and employee green behavior (EGB) within the context of hospitality industry, Khulna city, Bangladesh. Data collected through a self-administered questionnaire from 130 hotel employees of Khulna city were analyzed by employing correlation and multiple regression analysis. The study results showed that there was a positive association between green focused HRM functions and EGB. It was further confirmed that Green Training & Development, Green Performance Appraisal and Green Compensation& Rewards had significant contribution in explaining the green behavior of the hotel employees.
