Microorganisms are minuscule living things that are seen surrounding us and areas too little to even consider being seen by the unaided eye. They live in water, soil, and the air. All are a piece of Biodiversity that are living in our biological home of Earth. A few microorganisms make us wiped out, others are significant for our wellbeing. These are minuscule living things that are answerable for infections, for example, toxoplasmosis, jungle fever, AIDS, and distinctive influenza. In the 21ST Century, at end of 2019, they presented another infection whose name is Novel Corona Virus COVID-19. People may have almost no invulnerability against another infection. As indicated by the WHO, a pandemic includes the overall spread of another illness. While a scourge stays restricted to one city, local, or country, a pandemic spreads past public boundaries and perhaps around the world. On the off chance that a disease gets inescapable in a few nations simultaneously, it might transform into a pandemic. Hence, Policymakers and Governments of a few nations are concluded that the Lockdown strategy to take to quit blending the human body and transaction. As result, Transports, Industries, Business centers, Education establishments, Offices are lockdown for a very long time to a quarter of a year world insightful in a few nations additionally our country India. For the present circumstance, we have seen the contamination of our current circumstance is incredibly limited about 60% to 70% is decreased. The Jhargram town of West Bengal in India is a district town of South Bengal which is located under the forest area. That town is Green and Clean which is known as the City of Nature. By the inquiry, I have observed that CO2, CO, and Dust particles are decreased, the other hand O2 and RH of all air quality elements are increased during the lockdown. Pre Lockdown( Normal situation), in April 2019, I have recorded that the density of CO2 in-town atmosphere is about 420ppm to 620ppm, the amount of CO is about 12 to 14ppm, and the amount of O2 is about 20.80%. Another hand, during the Lockdown on 24th April 2020, I have recorded that the density of CO2isabout 340ppm to 345ppm, CO is about 5ppm and the amount of O2 is about 21.50 % to 21.60%. As result, the air quality of the town is highly hospitable and healthy for the Human body. Not only the improvement of air quality but also minimizedthe daily uses of Water. By the inquiry, I have measured that about 50% to 60% dailyuses of water is reduced in the town, as results little rise of underground water which rate is 1.5 to 2 feet. Finally, I have expressed that, Pandemic situation by a microbe Novel Corona Virus COVID-19 is positively influenced by environment quality as well as tocreate a Green and Healthy ecological home for the inhabitant.

ABSTRACTInformation and communication technologies were presented as an alternative "effective or not", both for those who teach their use and for those who use them; it is a fact, you want to or not, that arrived to our society to stay and multiply, a complex reality which we have two alternatives: we provide them, deepening them. Technologically speaking, to the decline of the Paleolithic era, our fellow beings had nothing to say, however, if they could speak and communicate through the word. The language is inherent to the human being. It is important to make this clarification. The human body, on both ends, were the first instrument to support mankind used to remember and tell. The fingers of the hand, can be considered the first supports that men and women of ancient times is cost to count and constitute, therefore, the notion of elementary arithmetic, previous even to the notion of number. It is very likely that the fingers of the hands and feet have been the origin of the numerical systems quinary, decimal and vigesimal: i.e., the man could count five, ten or twenty. Constant technologicalpolitical and philosophical - changes which manifested themselves in the 20th century resulted in the appearance that it has been called "Age of the information or technology" which has radically changed the global situation in all aspects, and that it has given rise to a technological revolution present every dayRESUMENLas Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación se presentaron como una alternativa “efectiva o no”, tanto para quienes enseñan su uso como para quienes las utilizan; es un hecho, se quiera o no, que arribaron a nuestra sociedad para permanecer y multiplicarse, una realidad compleja ante la cual tenemos dos alternativas: las proporcionamos, las profundizamos. Tecnológicamente hablando, hasta el ocaso de la era paleolítica, nuestros congéneres no tenían nada que decir…, sin embargo, si podían hablar y comunicarse por medio de la palabra. El lenguaje es consustancial al ser humano; es importante hacer esta aclaración. El cuerpo humano, sobre todo ambas extremidades, fueron los primeros instrumentos que empleó la humanidad como apoyo para recordar y contar. Los dedos de la mano, pueden considerarse los primeros apoyos de los que se valieron hombres y mujeres de la antigüedad para contar y constituyen, por tanto, la noción más elemental de la aritmética, anterior incluso a la noción de número. Es muy probable que los dedos de las manos y los pies hayan sido el origen de los sistemas numéricos quinario, decimal y vigesimal: es decir, el Hombre podía contar cinco, diez o veinte. Los constantes cambios tecnológicos —políticos y filosóficos— que se manifestaron en el Siglo XX dieron como resultado la aparición a lo que se ha dado en llamar “Era de las Tecnologías o Informática” que ha cambiado radicalmente la situación mundial en todos los aspectos, y que ha dado origen a una revolución tecnológica presente cada día.

Eye is considered to be the most important and noblest sense organ of human body. In today‟s era of 21st century, the full computerization of a country is necessary for the progress. Like “Stone Age” today era can be defined as “Computer Age”. It has seems that the work at computer is very intensive & most tiring therefore countries like Germany has included computer operational work in the list of the 40 most harmful trades for the health & restricted work at the computer should not exceed 50% of the working time. Other developing countries are also following the suit. In the developing countries like India where the remuneration for the work are far from satisfactory & the young generation is aspiring for more material gains which necessitate them to work over time or have part time jobs in addition to their legitimate work. This situation adds up to the works with the computer which badly affects their health

Indigenous Perspectives

A tentative vision sketched of an invigorated role for the "humanities" on university campuses in our troubled 21st century world. What more are the "humanities" that what we have treated them to be? What more is the role of the "humanities scholar" than what we have conceptualized it to be? What more is the role of the "humanities educator" that what we have said it to be? Have all potentially useful framings been exhausted? How much respect for the human body, human emotions, the human spirit, and for our human inter-connectedness with nature and all living systems permeates our humanities scholarship and teaching? To what extent do our humanities programs in the Asia and Pacific region foreground Western topics, methods, and content, and subordinate indigenous perspectives and approaches? Do we in the Asia and Pacific region perhaps have special contribution to make in these areas?
