The present study is designed to find the relationship between happiness and life satisfaction among three age groups. The age groups are; below 20 yrs, between 30-40 yrs and above 50 yrs. Satisfaction with life scale by Diener etal. (1985), and a statement 'select the face that best fits you most of the time' with five face figures (self constructed) have been taken to assess the happiness were used for collection of the relevant data. These tests were administered to 99 subjects in the three age group(33 in each group). A correlational design was used to see the relationship between happiness and life satisfaction. It was found that the correlation coefficient for all the age groups were high and statistically significant. The study concluded that there exist positive and strong correlation betweenhappmess andlife satisfaction.Keywords

Values affect human behaviour and values are fundamental sources of meaningful way of reaction and response. Patterns of value orientation are the most crucial cultural determinant of mental and physical health. Cultures have cognitive, appreciative and moral value standards which are acquired by the actors living in these cultures. The current study was designed to examine value orientation of 25 urban and 25 rural parent couples. The age range of the sample was 40-50 years. The results were analyzed by using two way ANOVA and t-ratios. The results revealed significant mean differences between urban and rural parents with respect to different types of values. The study concluded that rural and urban parents differ in their value orientation.Keywords

Neglected tropical diseases focus its scope on the “neglected” communicable diseases of developing countries that do not receive sufficient priority in public health programmes and research agenda despite of having an equal share of the global burden of disease, both in terms of chronic disability and mortality.Tropical arboviral infections occur in poor urban and rural environments and disproportionately affect low-income populations. Other neglected viral infections, such as dengue and chikungunya, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and Rift Valley fever afflict the poor more frequently and more severely that can cause significant physical and mental impairment for > 30 months after infection or result in early death. Arboviral disease outcomes can contribute to poverty, perpetuating a vicious cycle of disease, poverty and health care injustice. Arbovirus infections typically occur in epidemics. Due to seasonal and weather-related changes in arthropod-borne transmission of arboviruses and periodic fluctuations in the number of susceptible humans within an area, there may be significant variation in the local, regional and global number of cases from year to year. Access to health care is another important issue for the neglected viral diseases. Previously successful strategies to control ABVDs emphasized vector control but source reduction and vector control strategies using pesticides have not been sustainable. Limitations in health systems in endemic areas undoubtedly lead to underestimation of arbovirus incidence and related complications. Effective prevention strategies can reverse this trend. Research on vaccines, environmentally safe insecticides, alternative approaches to vector control and training programs for health-care workers are needed. Perceptions about the actual frequency of arboviral disease are changing. As better diagnostics are introduced in at-risk areas, more accurate case finding allows for better definition of the risk of symptomatic disease and the long-term sequelae of infection.

Women comprise fifty percent of the world population and receive only just ten percent of the world income and possessor of even less than one percent of world's property. Women suffer many disadvantages as compared to men in terms of literacy, labor participation and earnings. The major strategies for women empowerment include social empowerment, political empowerment and gender equality along with demo- graphical justice (rural and urban). For the rural women, economic empowerment can be achieved through the concept of Self-Help Groups based on group approach to rural development. SHGs are definitely a boon to the rural poor women who undertake workable economic activities on their own. SHGs are voluntary association of people formed to accomplish some common goals. In this paper, an attempt has been made to evaluate the type of business and its performance carried out by women SHGs members and its impact on economic empowerment in rural areas.Keywords

This study was made to synthesize Copper Nanoparticles using the Flueggea leucopyrus Willd leaves extract. UV-Visible characterizes nanoparticles, and Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Electron Dispersion X-ray (EDX) techniques. SEM and TEM studies show the morphological and structural properties of formed green NPs. DLS offers the average size in the Nanometer range, and particle stability is measured by Zeta potential. The Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faces and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria culture for test antimicrobial activity of newly formed Copper Nanoparticles.Keywords
