Heavy metal contamination is being one of the most serious problems either by natural process or by human activities. Metals remediation by microbial consortium is a capable method of environmental cleanup. Microbial community is continuously getting elevation of metal as well as antibiotic resistance finally being grave for human health due to extensive exposure to heavy metals. Amelioration of heavy metals in agricultural land is being the most potential way of spreading toxicity to human through consumption of edible materials. Current collected information regarding health hazards and increasing antibiotic resistance by heavy metals is put in front for well planned virtual action in response to living entity to minimize adverse effect. Cutting edge research strategies are needed to remediate toxic metal because of their nature to be ubiquitous in the environment and persistent for longer duration. This review reveals for metal pollution, acquiring resistance by microbes, gaps in knowledge and the practical implications for remediation strategies.Keywords

Health promotion is knacks of assisting people to enhance their motivation to strive for optimal health and supporting them in altering their lifestyle to move toward a state of finest health. Lifestyle transformation can be assisted through an amalgamation of experiences that enhance awareness. In India health alertness among the mass is been propagated from side to side through several media such as television, radio, newspaper, health camp, holdings. Often a question arises: Are people aware about general health issues such as family planning, vaccination? The general opinion was assembled from people and signaled that a large section of people was aware about family planning, vaccination, care for pediatric patient, care for women during pregnancy and safe delivery, balanced diet (for lactating mothers, infant and children) and various health programs organized by government/non-government organization to the people. On the other hand, people were not sure about their awareness regarding disease in the locality and care of old age patients and thus these restraining features need consideration and reflection in deeds.Keywords

Use of plant based drugs and chemicals for curing the various ailments specific to women is as old as human civilization. Plants and plant-based medicaments are the basis of many of the modern pharmaceuticals we used today for our various ailments. Nearly 80% of the world populations rely on the traditional medicines for primary health care, most of which involve the use of plant extracts. Many traditional herbal remedies have also been utilized as aids in various gynecological problems arise in females. The present paper gave an overview on the uses of medicinal plants for the treatment of gynecological problems and it was concluded that they are effective alternative to allopath medicine.Keywords

The aim of this paper is to highlight some prominent quality parameters which have influence on most of the supply chains related to different sectors or most of the organizations. The impact of quality parameters involved in various supply chain of different sectors has received less attention in literature. Although research on the quality parameters in supply chain management have been done in the last two decades still there is paucity of such research that put limelight on prominent quality parameters.

Although consumer researchers have investigated impulse buying for nearly 50 years, almost no research has empirically examined its normative aspects. This article presents conceptual and empirical evidence that consumers' normative evaluations (i.e., judgments about the appropriateness of engaging in impulse buying behavior) moderate the relationship between the impulse buying trait and consumers' buying behaviors. Specifically, the relationship between the buying impulsiveness trait and related buying behaviors is significant only when consumers believe that acting on impulse is appropriate. The findings from two studies across student and retail customer samples converge and support the hypothesized moderating role of consumers' normative evaluations.
