 Abstract

Background: Anxiety is one of the most common psychological disorders in school-aged children and adolescents worldwide. Academic stress is mental distress with respect to some anticipated frustration associated with academic failure or even unawareness to the possibility of such failure. Gender differences are observed amongst adolescents as far as academic anxiety is concerned. Low SES relates to a higher burden in different areas of everyday life and an exposure to stressful life situations. Objective: To measure academic stress and academic anxiety among higher secondary students with gender, socio-economic status and place of residence. Materials and Method: A sample of 120 students (N=120) from urban and rural of different schools of Patna. 60 were male and 60 were female students. Purposive sampling method was used to select the sample. Measures: Academic Anxiety Scale for children (AASC) by Dr. A. K. Singh and Dr. A. Sen Gupta and Prof. D.N. Sriyastava and Stress scale (SS-LVNS) by Dr. Vijaya Lakshmi and Dr. Shruti Narain was administered. Result and Conclusion: There was significant difference between academic stress of male and female students. Significant difference found between lower SES and higher SES students on academic stress. There is no significant difference between urban and rural students on academic stress. Statistically significant difference between male and female students on academic anxiety. Insignificant difference found between lower SES and higher SES on academic anxiety. Urban and rural students were statistically significant on academic anxiety. No significant positive correlation found between stress and anxiety.

 Abstract

Cd/CuSeO3 nanocomposites were prepared by a facile microwave assisted hydrothermal method using cadmium acetate dihydrate, copper acetate dihydrate and sodium selenite as precursors. The XRD pattern reveals that the material is a composite material Cd/CuSeO3 and the average size of the nanocrystallite is found to be 15 nm. XRD, SEM, EDX and FTIR studies confirm the morphology and composition of Cd/CuSeO3 nanocomposites. The optical band gap energy of the material was estimated using Kubelka-Munk relation. PL spectrum of the sample exhibits a sharp, intense peak at 430 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out to analyze the stability of the material.

 Abstract

Sen’s (1979) idea of poverty as ‘capability deprivation’ instead of just as income deprivation (or lowness of income as Sen calls it) has largely been the centerpiece of set of literature on poverty-reduction. It has gained much currency and continues to be apposite in the poverty debates. Capability approach sees absence of freedoms (in the form of capabilities) as being the root cause of poverty and professes that the expansion of ‘capability set’ is what should be the prime focus of initiatives. Thus, unlike the hollow conception of dissemination of material goods being the panacea to the problem of poverty, Sen (1979; 1985) believes that what is required is enhancement of capabilities of people and expanding real freedoms of people. The government programs like, Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) which is now National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), and also associations like Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA), aim at not only generating livelihood for women, belonging to the most disadvantaged cohort and incorporate them in the labor market or develop banking and saving habits in them, they aim at enhancing their capabilities and giving them a stake in the developmental process.

 Abstract

All of us have encountered some kind of emotional disruption in our life and as individual differences prevail in everybody, the way how they tackle the incoming problems in their life also differs. Emotion Regulation is how we monitor and manage our emotions during some emotion producing event which can be responded either in a negative or a positive way. Standardized scales were used to study the variables. This study was conducted on 200 participants in age 18-25 years. The findings of the study revealed that early memories have a positive significant relation with the Cognitive Reappraisal Facet of Regulations of Emotions which confirms that the more Warmth, feeling of Safeness and Comfort a child is provided with the more efficiently he can administer his emotional problems in his adulthood. While this study has found one important factor which influences the Emotional Regulation in later life, further studies should expand this research by looking into other factors which will enhance our ability to regulate our emotions in a better way so that we make the best out of any difficult crises in our life.

Globally, Obesity &overweight are causing serious public health issues and in many countries threating the viability of basic health care delivery. During recent decades, there has been a dramatic rise in prevalence of overweight& obesity in children. The prevalence of obesity among school children in India has found between 5.74% and 8.82% and approximately 21.4% of boys and 18.5% of girls were obese in the 13-18 years age group in urban regions of South India. The narrative of Stholya mentioned in Ayurveda classics is quite similar to obesity. A person with excessive accumulation of Meda (fat/adipose tissue) and Mamsa (flesh/muscle tissue) leading to flabbiness of hips, abdomen, and breast has been categorized as Atisthula. Only diet therapy and Physical activity restriction is not sufficient to treat the obese patients, so there is need to give some effective drugs for treatment of obesity. The present paper is focused on Chavyadi Shaktu and there dravyas for management of Stholya. The paper attributes to the critical review of Chavyadi Shaktu to elicit their pharmacological actions based on various experimental and clinical studies.

 Abstract

Waste-water is the combination of liquid or water-carried wastes originated from the sanitary conveniences of dwellings, commercial or industrial facilities and institutions, in addition to any ground water, surface water and storm water that may be present. Untreated wastewater generally contains high levels of organic material, numerous pathogenic microorganisms, as well as nutrients and toxic compounds. It thus entails environmental and health hazards and, consequently, must immediately be conveyed away from its generation sources and treated appropriately before final disposal. The ultimate goal of wastewater management is the protection of the environment in a manner commensurate with public health and socioeconomic concerns. Wastewater treatment is becoming even more critical due to diminishing water resources, increasing wastewater disposal costs. The municipal sector consumes significant volumes of water, and consequently generates considerable amounts of wastewater discharge. This review paper addresses the utilization of some eco-friendly and low cost technologies for sustainable development, with special reference to duckweed and algae technology. Studying the economics of different wastewater treatments is an essential prerequisite to the identification of cost-effective solutions.
