Psychiatry and clinical psychology have dominantly modeled after medical model in diagnosis i.e. diagnosis in terms of symptomatology. Most of the diagnostic classification systems have overlooked the relevance of patient's personality variables which significantly contribute in establishing the nature of particular patient's syndrome picture and in symptoms expression modes. So, it is needed to take in to account the personality make up in diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment outcomes. Nowadays the personality researchers and clinical psychologists are addicted to use either rating scales or questionnaires in diagnosis which suffer from serious limitations such as judgmental errors, sample errors, faking, social desirability, response set, motivational distortions etc. To overcome these weaknesses, objective analytic tests (T-data measures) can be good alternatives. T-data measures are not dependent on subject's self evaluation but measure direct reactions and without subject's knowledge of what interpretation s put on it and these can be highly useful in the clinical assessment. Some earlier studies by Cattell and associates have revealed the relevance of UI 16 (Low ego strength) (Subduedness v/s independence), UI 20 (Comention), UI 21 (Exuberance v/s Suppressibility) , UI 22 (Cortertia), UI 23 (Mobilization of Energy v/s Regression ), UI 24 (Anxiety v/s Adjustment), UI 25 (Realism V/s Tensinflexia), UI 32 (Introversion v/s Extroversion) and UI 33 (Pessimism) in differential diagnosis and comparison of clinical samples with normals. It is recommended for their use in objective and exact clinical assessment.

People are living stress ridden lives, be it stress arising from occupations, career, relationships or finance. Thus they are suffering from various psychosomatic problems because of increasing stressors in life. With the advancement of psychological treatment and planning, we have many kinds of therapies available such as psychotherapy, behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy etc. But, our ancient scriptures like the Bhagwad Gita have already described our human day to day worries and how a man should tackle day to day problems. The Bhagwad Gita is a key to all worries and anxieties which was spoken by Lord Krishna in the battle of Kuruksehtra- Mahabharata. Bhagwad Gita shows practical and real life applications of ways to cope with day to day stressors humans face in their day to day life. This paper emphasizes basic understanding of the principles of the Bhagwad Gita and its application in day to day life as an effective tool for management and coping of stress.Keywords

The suddenly enforced COVID-19 pandemic lock-down has impacted the Earth’s environment, and several studies have reported a significant change in air pollution using remote sensing data. In this study, we highlight significant changes in the environment due to reduced human activities using MODIS, Senti-nel-5 and NASA-USDA/SMAP satellite data. Critical parameters such as nitrogen dioxide, land surface temperature, surface soil moisture and normalized difference vegetation index were compared (pre-pandemic and post-pandemic) for six highly impacted cities around the world. This study is crucial for envi-ronmental management to maintain sustainability of the Earth’s ecosystem.Keywords
