The mind is the source of many troubles -sooner or later, the body reflects wrong attitude, negative thought, and emotional imbalance that mind holds. Yoga is a powerful tool for clearing mind and from mood swings. In the adolescent and adult age, Yoga practice supports greater results than any tranquilizer and without the undesirable side effects of drugs, it balances person dulling mind. The main objective of the study was to compare the attitude of respondents belonging to different age groups. In the study, sample of 120 respondents were purposively selected from Rajnikhand and South city areas of Lucknow city. The data were collected through self-made interview schedule along with "Yoga Attitude Scale" by Muchhal (2008). Data analysis was done through frequency, percentage and testing of hypothesis with Chi square test. The result revealed that most of respondents had very high Yoga attitude. There was a non-significant difference between age and attitude towards Yoga which meant that age had no impact on attitude towards Yoga.Keywords

Convenience stores in India is credited to the India Economic Reforms in July1991 Convenience stores in India are still at a nascent stage but are headed for stupendous growth in the near future. The central government has ultimately realized the need to open up the India retail sector. The concept of "convenience stores" has changed in definition over time. Originally, convenience implied that something was functional, easy to use and labour saving. In modern times, the concept of convenience also began to imply the ability to control time. Convenience stores can be considered an embodiment of modern connotations of convenience. This study was carried the to study the reasons of occupational stress. This study was conductive on 120 respondents (90 male 30 female) who were selected purposively by random sampling of different conveniences store, Easy day, Spencer, Big Bazar, Vishal Magabat in Lucknow city. Statistical analysis was done by t-test square analysis.Keywords

Autism is a complex neurobehavioral disorder characterized by impairment in social interaction, impairment in communication, and the presence of repetitive and stereotypic patterns of behaviour’s, interests and activities. Autism affects the functions of the brain, it can be seen when children are three years old. The logo of Autism is puzzle, because Puzzle indicates the mystery and complexity of Autism. There are several occasions about the creation of architectural environments suitable for people with ASD. Ample spaces, to allow the development of the children’s activities without excessive proximity, avoiding too polished materials, for instance some times it is difficult to combine this aspect with the need to clean the flooring-soft materials like carpet can be useful to absorb noise, but the downside is that they are harder to clean than shinier ones, whose acoustic behaviour can be problematic. Safety is important when designing showers and toilets, and therefore pipes must not remain exposed, and fittings must be firmly fixed-otherwise they could be pulled out of their place. It is also necessary to provide enough common showers and toilets because incontinence is not a rare problem in some children with autism, Colour palette should be adequately chosen, in order to create environments that provide a warm but not over stimulating atmosphere, floor heating or radiant ceiling panels, and cross-ventilation, preferably from bottom to top, by means of two windows placed in opposite walls. Avoid traditional fluorescent lamps, as people with ASD might be greatly sensitive to the flickering produced by them, even though other people will never notice it.Keywords

Context: Workplace hazard is usually defined as working conditions that have potential to cause injury and/or illness to workers. Examples of hazards are exposed to hazardous substances; working with dangerous tools and equipment or performing potentially injurious task, such as repetitive movement and heavy lifting. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of workplace hazard face of vulnerable migrant workers. Setting and Design: The study was carried out on eighty migrant workers comprising of male and female. The purposive sampling technique was adopted in the study. Data were collected using a 9 question survey tool developed by S. Peter et.al, Institute for work and health, Canada, in 2016. Materials and Methods: A self-structured and standardized interview schedule scale (OHS) devised by institute for work and health, Canada, in 2016 used for the purpose of the gathering information and measurement workplace hazard in different variables of the respondents. The study adopted survey research design and interviewed respondents personally. Statistical Analysis Used: The data were coded and analyzed using IBM SPSS20.0 Version. The level of workplace hazard in different segments was analyzed in the form of frequencies, mean, standard deviation and the significance was tested using ANOVA. Result: The study clearly showed that the maximum hazard in the workplace by migrant workers is to repeatedly repeat the same movement with hands or wrists, exposure to chemical, gas, and flammable substance, standing hours in the same posture and working for 2 meters. The hazard was felt in stand and working in greater heights. Conclusion: In the present study it has been found that the issue of occupational health among workers needs more attention. There was a risk of musculoskeletal problems and breathing problems and slipping while working in their stations. Measures are needed to improve the work environment of workplace safety staff that ensures the availability of personal protective equipment, good living condition and hygiene at the sites. In addition, the protection of workers’ health is the responsibility to the community as well as local government and businessmen.
