Viral diseases account for an increasing proportion of deaths worldwide. Viruses maneuver host cell machinery in an attempt to subvert the intracellular environment favorable for their replication. The mitochondrial network is highly susceptible to physiological and environmental insults, including viral infections. Viruses affect mitochondrial functions and impact mitochondrial metabolism, and innate immune signaling. Resurgence of host-virus interactions in recent literature emphasizes the key role of mitochondria and host metabolism on viral life processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to damage of mitochondria that generate toxic compounds, importantly mitochondrial DNA, inducing systemic toxicity, leading to damage of multiple organs in the body. Mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are essential for the maintenance of mitochondrial quality control and homeostasis. Therefore, metabolic antagonists may be essential to gain a better understanding of viral diseases and develop effective antiviral therapeutics. This review briefly discusses how viruses exploit mitochondrial dynamics for virus proliferation and induce associated diseases.

Data from pulse and continuous labeling with [3H]thymidine and from studies with monoclonal antibody WE3 have led to the modification of existing models and established concepts pertinent to understanding limb regeneration. Not all cells of the adult newt blastema are randomly distributed and actively progressing through the cell cycle. Instead, many cells are in a position that we have designated transient quiescence (TQ) and are not actively cycling. We postulate that cells regularly leave the TQ population and enter the actively cycling population and vice versa. The size of the TQ population may be at least partly determined by the quantity of limb innervation. Larval Ambystoma may have only a small or nonexisting TQ, thus accounting for their rapid rate of regeneration. Examination of reactivity of monoclonal antibody WE3 suggests that the early wound epithelium, which is derived from skin epidermis, is later replaced by cells from skin glands concomitant with blastema formation. WE3 provides a useful tool to further investigate the regenerate epithelium.

Viral infections remain major “worldwide” cause of morbidity and mortality.  Herbal extracts or wholesome drugs have been in use for medicinal purposes since ancient time and are known for their antiviral properties and more tolerable side effects. Thus, naturally based pharmacotherapy is a proper alternative for treating viral diseases. Hence this article describes potential antiviral properties of medicinal plants against diverse group of viruses and suggests screening the potential of plants possessing broad spectrum anti-viral effects against viral diseases. Guduchyadi Kwath is a polyherb ayurvedic preparation useful in various diseases. It is useful in pitta vikar, shleshma vikar, Jwara, Chardi, Daha, Trushna, and Agnimandya1. According to modern science it showed anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antimalarial, hepatoprotective, wound healing and immune-modulatory action. The study is aim to the effect of “Guduchyadi kashaya” on viral diseases.

This article aims to describe the basic concepts, processes and roles of teachers in the administration of facilities and infrastructure, the method used to compile this article is a systematic literature review (SLR). First researchers find relevant theories, followed by analyzing, then making conclusions based on the analysis of the researcher. The results of the analysis of researchers are the administration of educational facilities and infrastructure is everything needed directly or indirectly in supporting the process of educational activities to achieve predetermined goals. In the process of administration of facilities and infrastructure including planning, procurement, inventory, distribution, utilization of maintenance, deletion, and supervision. There needs to be knowledge to the teacher as well as the role of the teacher in the administration of facilities and infrastructure, namely (1) Engaging in planning the procurement of teaching aids, (2) Engaging in the use and maintenance of teaching aids used by teachers, and (3) supervision in the use of practical tools by students.Keywords—Educational Administration; Educational Facilities and infrastructure

There are so many basic concepts in Ayurveda; Dhatvagni mandya is one of them. The whole phenomenon of disease cannot be completed without Dosha-Dushya Siddhant. They play important role in the pathology of disease. Obesity is one of them, which affect the health as well as life span. Sthaulya is one of the disease which is known to mankind since Vedic era, has been dealt in great details in Ayurvedic texts. The sign, symptoms and etiological factor of Sthaulya show very much resemblance with obesity. Worldwide Obesity is emerging health problem. It is a metabolic disorder which has affected every corner of world. In present study 30 patients of Sthaulya were selected from OPD and IPD of M.A. Podar hospital, Mumbai. These patients were undergone throw laboratory investigations. They were treated with Eranda Kshara with Ghrita bharjit Hingu given orally, duration of treatment was two months and follow up was done with parameters like Height, weight, BMI, Mid arm circumference, Waist circumference, Waist Hip ratio and symptoms of Sthaulya. It was observed that Atikshuda and Atitrushna reduce significantly. It shows relief in weight, BMI, Waist Circumference, Mid Arm Circumference and Waist Hip ratio. There was no significant change in hematological as well as Urine investigations. Average percentage of relief was 60.72%.

L. S. Vygotsky’s principal idea, lying in the base of cultural-historical theory, is the primacy of sense over meaning. There are serious reasons to believe that this part of cultural-historical theory was not completely understood both by his disciples and his opponents. That’s why many Vygotsky’s conclusions and discoveries remained untapped. while others were implemented in science and practice quite di˙erently from what he suggested. Vygotsky once wrote that features of the particular science deeply related to its method. That’s why he introduced the experimental-genetic method (projective method in modern psychology), which allows modeling the processes of development. One of the basic concepts of cultural-historical theory is the concept of “cultural de-velopment”. A Cultural person, for Vygotsky, is the person, who can control not only their own behavior and actions but also their own psychic processes. On the one hand, modern psychology doesn’t deny the role of volition in child’s development. But on the other hand, the volition itself is typically understood as one’s ability to submit to laws and rules. More than that – it’s rather easy to create conditions where a person will submit to laws and rules, but it doesn’t develop his ability to control himself. In Vygotsky’s opinion, there are natural psychic functions, which in the process of learning transform into cultural ones. In this context, the main goal of learning is to create conditions for developing person’s ability to be the subject of his own behavior, activity and psychic.

This chapter is based on the servant leadership theory's effects on the turnover intention through the mediating role of burnout. The basic concepts of the model are derived from conservation of resources theory. The theory predicts that sustained psychological stress can lead to burnout and turnover intention. Servant leadership focuses on reducing the employee stress level and increasing job satisfaction. The study focuses on the banking industry employees and finds the main reasons of high turnover.
