Abstract: Background: Urbanisation has turned out to be one of the major symbols of development. In India, urbanisation gained momentum since Independence. Proportion of population living in the urban areas of India has undergone significant rise from 11.4% in 1901 to 31.16% in 2011. Although urbanisation brings about large-scale economic transformation providing people with innumerable services and amenities, it also imparts a significant effect on the physical environment and on the life of the city dwellers. Urbanisation at an accelerated pace not only brings about degradation of vegetation health and amount and triggers the event of urban heat island but also it increases the intensity of problems faced by urban dwellers in their daily life. Panihati Municipal Area is also not an exception.....

Abstract: Handloom sector occupies an important position as one of the primary employment provider after agriculture. More than 16 million weavers are making their livelihood from handlooms, while upholding the cultural fabric of different states alive. It is one of the important sectors in the country that provides low cost, sustainable livelihood opportunities to millions of people. But recently it has been losing its importance and more widespread perception is that handloom weaving is in deep crisis and is caught in a endless circle of low productivity and wages and is thus unable to retain a competitive edge against power loom. Yet, at a macro level, the handloom sector has maintained........

Abstract: Winnicott's developmental model emphasizes the quality of parent/nurturer's – child relation in the first years of the child's life since it affects the person's psycho-emotional development throughout their life. His theory on mother – child relation puts forward the idea that the human being naturally tends to be closer to people who offer security, when necessary. Each person's experience with their parents, during infancy and childhood, define the kind of their relations in their adult life. The above approaches are directly applied in Education, since phenomena of school fear and stress, separation and abandonment are rather frequent and they affect children's learning and emotional profile in the school framework. This is about students who may have low self-esteem, difficulties in adapting to the school environment......

Abstract:The power to grant pardon is an act of mercy and forgiveness which helps to correct the fallacies of the criminal justice system as well as the judicial errors committed by the Judiciary. Since, even the judges at the highest level of the Judiciary are prone to make mistakes. There ought to be a system in place to check and correct such mistakes to ensure fairness and justice to all and to restore the public's confidence in the system. The power to grant pardon is entrusted with the highest authority in the country which is the head of the state, the President in case of India.
The pardoning power is a constitutional power exercisable as a sovereign power under Article 72 of the Constitution of India for the President exercisable as the head of the....

Abstract: Background: The relative risk reduction (RRR), the absolute risk reduction (ARR), and the number needed to treat or screen (NNT) are measures usually used to communicate the advantages of medical screening. Properly informed decision-making requires an understanding of these statistics by both health professionals and patients. However, even when this knowledge holds, the perception of the benefits of these three measures may be distinct, since they are translated by numbers of different magnitudes. The objective of this study is to assess whether health professionals and patients understand or are influenced by the risk presentation format in the decision to screen.....

Abstract: The social history of viruses, their influences, and viral infections dates back to antiquity. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 virus in Wuhan China from the tail end of 2019 has spread so fast around the world, such that WHO declared it a global pandemic. The devastating effect of the virus so affected the world that over ten million are reported infected, and some hundreds of thousands confirmed killed by it. Africa's response has been marginal due to poverty, underdevelopment, and alleged selfishness among the political class. According to NCDC (2020), there are over 47743 confirmed cases in Nigeria. Of these, over 33943 cases have been discharged and over 956 deaths recorded in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) as at the end of August 2020. In order to stem community transmission.......
