The Global Health Scenario has been changed at present due to unpredictable outbreak of pandemic novel Corona virus (SARS-Co V- 2) in the community of nation. The coronavirus has already transmitted the disease COVID -19 all over 213 countries and territories around the world. So as a resultant factor, 22,862,661 confirmed corona virus case already detected and among them 797,117 deceased cases noted as of August 21st, 2020. In spite of extensive efforts to resolve the pandemic conditions, transmission as well as their treatment modalities still now could not be established satisfyingly. The exact term Corona vi-rus is not mentioned in Ayurvedic treatise but viruses as well as any micro-organisms and their preventive measures also illustrated in Ayurvedic manuscript in Susrut Samhita Sutra Sthana as Jantu or Nisachara. Even the pandemic situation also described in Charak Samhita, Viman Sthana as the term of “Jana Pada Dhangsha”. The classical medical science Ayurveda, already proven its efficacy over flu like condition as well as viral & respiratory distress in human being is having such of similarity with Agantuja Sannipatika Roga as well as highly contagious disorder, so for the purpose of breaking the chain of Corona virus transmission in human being, Ayurvedic preventive as well as protective measures could be beneficial.

The covid-19 resulted in broad range of spread throughout the world in which India has also became a prey of it and in this situation the means of media is extensively inϑluencing the mentality of the people. Media always played a role of loop between society and sources of information. In this epidemic also media is playing a vital role in shaping the reaction in ϑirst place for both good and ill by providing important facts regarding symptoms of Corona virus, preventive measures against the virus and also how to deal with any suspect of disease to overcome covid-19. On the other hand, there are endless people who spread endless rumours overs social media and are adversely affecting life of people but we always count on media because they provide us with valuable answers to our questions, facts and everything in need. Media always remains on top of the line when it comes to stop the out spread of rumours which are surely dangerous kind of information for society. So on our side we should react fairly and maturely to handle the situation to keep it in the favour of humanity and help government not only to ϑight this pandemic but also the info emic.

The ANSI guideline on machine risk assessment, B11-TR3, describes risk assessment as an iterative process. This implies that protective measures of varied levels of technology can be successively evaluated until a risk that is acceptable is attained. The theories of risk acceptance are many. Reducing risk to a level that is agreed to be 'as low as reasonably practicable' (ALARP) is said to give focus to making a decision about when risk has been adequately reduced. Main (2004) says that "Although the concept of acceptable risk is becoming more commonly adopted throughout the world, a single level of acceptability cannot be universally applied. Acceptable risk is a function of many factors, and is specific to a company, culture, and time-era." Fischhoff et al. (1981) have argued that "the risk associated with the most acceptable option is not acceptable in any absolute sense. One accepts options, not risks, which are only one feature of options." This paper describes risk assessment groups in five manufacturing workplaces and discusses training that led to acceptable risk decisions for a hazardous machine system in each workplace. The composition of the five teams in this study ranged from a team with just a single engineer to teams involving several workplace personnel. The applied preventive measures ranged from measures that were tailored to meet corporate safety goals to measures that evolved from the local risk assessment team's ingenuity. The paper concludes with suggestions on how to make the risk acceptance concept meaningful in the training of future machine risk assessment teams.

Abstract Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 continues to impose itself on all populations of the world. Given the slow pace of vaccination in the developing world and the absence of effective treatments, adherence to precautionary infection control measures remains the best way to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic from spiraling out of control. In this study, we aim to evaluate the extent to which the Syrian population adheres to these measures and analyze the relationship between demographic variables and adherence. Methods This cross-sectional study took place in Syria between January 17 and March 17, 2021. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The questionnaire was distributed in both electronic and printed versions. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS v.25. The chi-square test was used to address the correlation between adherence and demographic variables. Results Of the 10083 reached out, only (74.6%) responded. Of them, 4026 (53.5%) were women, 3984 (52.9%) were single, and 1908 (25.3%) had earned university degrees. 5286 (70.25) were classified as the good adherers to protective measures. Statistically significant differences across age, sex, marital status, financial status, employment, and educational attainment when correlated against commitment to preventive measures. Young age, female sex, good financial status, and having a full-time job and post-graduate education were positively correlated to the stronger commitment to preventive measures. Furthermore, those who believed that COVID-19 poses a major risk to them or society were more committed to preventive measures than those who did not. Conclusion The participants in this study generally showed a high level of adherence to the preventive measures compared to participants in other studies from around the world, with some concerns regarding risk perception and the sources of information they depend on. Public health and community education efforts should focus on maintaining, if not expanding, this level of commitment, which would mitigate the pandemic’s impact on Syrian society.

COVID-19 has punctured the thickest borders in the world, and even surpassed the global development gap. Containing the spread of COVID-19 is an unquestionable global socioeconomic priority that required immediate protective and mitigation measures across nations, whether developing or developed. Through the case of Ghana, a developing African country and Sweden, a developed European country, we aimed to understand both countries’ preparedness and response strategies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We conducted a literature review of publicly available information from December 2019 through June 2020; a period in which the virus was first reported and quickly went to its peak. We explored socio-economic challenges and opportunities borne from the preventive and protective responses implemented in Ghana and Sweden. We also explored existing challenges and opportunities that hindered or enhanced the implementation of these protective and preventive measures. We drew on the Strengths and Resilience theoretical perspectives to recognize citizens’ strengths, capacities and resources as an indispensable part of the solution. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0774/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Addiction is habitual psychological or physiological dependence on a substance or practice that is beyond voluntary control. It is a chronic brain disease that causes compulsive substance use despite harmful consequences. Addiction causes widespread harmful effect to human being along with its social consequences. The term addiction does not only refer to dependence on substance such as heroin or alcohol. A person who cannot stop taking a particular drug or chemical has substance dependence. In Ayurveda every human being is considered a combination of both mind and body. The perfect balance of mind, body and soul is considered ideal health in Ayurveda and is the result of a pure body and selfless mind. There are specific mental treatments in Ayurveda to cure physical problems as well as mental disorders. The mental attitude of a person plays an important role in the caring process. Even modern medical science admits that there is a direct co-relation between a healthy mind and healthy body. Ayurveda helps in an addict’s long-term recovery by changing their lifestyle rather than simply giving them a pill to swallow. Ayurvedic therapy is generally accomplished through a careful diet, herbal medicines, exercise, massage therapy, personal counseling and forms of Yoga. Present article is aimed to explore all the possible treatment modalities from the treasure of Ayurved texts which may be used for de-addiction

Islamic teachings explain comprehensively how to purify, clean the body and the environment from uncleanness, and to use water and other washing media in a measured manner. In the concept of Islamic theory, this purification activity is known as thahârah. Due to the wide transmission of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 or Covid-19 throughout the world, this article offered preventive measures to restrain the spread of Covid-19 by practicing thahârah consistently based on a fiqh perspective. This study employed literary research method which traced a number of books by Islamic scholars related to the thahârah or purification procedures. After the data was collected, the analysis was carried out by analyzing, processing, and interpreting the data into a conclusion. The results revealed that in addition to eliminating hadaṡ, dirt, and impurity, thahârah activities such as wudhu, tayamum, titual bathing, and teeth brushing benefit for physical and spiritual health. If thahârah is practiced consistently; as a cleaning up routine activity, it will diminish the spread of Covid-19. Instead of just washing hands, for instance, it is recommended to do wudhu even if it is not for praying. Viruses sticking to the hands and face will be washed away and disappear if a person performs wudhu properly according to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.  The research has shown that wudhu contains tremendous benefits for health as it can stimulate energy in the body and improve blood circulation.Ajaran Islam secara rinci menjelaskan bagaimana bersuci, membersihkan badan dan lingkungan dari najis, dan bagaimana menggunakan air dan media pencuci lainnya dengan terukur. Aktivitas bersuci tersebut dalam konsep Islam disebut thahârah. Sehubungan dengan telah menyebarnya virus corona 2019 atau Covid-19 yang melanda ke seluruh dunia, artikel ini menawarkan upaya tindakan preventif pencegahan tertularnya Covid-19 dengan membudayakan thahârah  secara konsisten berdasarkan perspektif fikih. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode literary research, yakni menelusuri sejumlah buku-buku karya ulama Islam yang berhubungan dengan ṭahârah atau tatacara bersuci menurut fikih Islam. Setelah data terkumpul, dilakukan analisis dengan mengkalisifikasi, mengolah, dan menginterpretasi data menjadi suatu kesimpulan. Dari hasil analisis tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa selain bertujuan menghilangkan hadas, kotoran, dan najis, kegiatan thahârah seperti wudhu, tayamum, mandi, dan bersiwak bermanfaat untuk kesehatan jasmani dan rohani. Jika aktivitas thahârah ini dibudayakan secara konsisten, dalam arti dijadikan aktivitas yang rutin dalam membersihkan sesuatu, penyebaran Covid-19 akan tertekan menjadi minimal. Daripada mencuci tangan saja, misalnya, lebih baik sekalian berwudhu walaupun tidak untuk melakukan salat. Virus yang menempel di tangan dan wajah akan terbasuh dan lenyap jika seseorang melakukan wudhu dengan benar sesuai dengan ajaran Nabi Muhammad Saw. Penelitian membuktikan bahwa wudhu mengandung manfaat yang besar bagi kesehatan karena mampu merangsang dan menstimulus energi dalam tubuh serta melancarkan peredaran darah.

Corona Virus

The outbreak of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has been recently declared as Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by World Health Organization and the virus has now spread beyond the boundaries of countries and continents. At present, no specific antiviral treatment or vaccine is available or recommended to counter the COVID-19, and the potential therapy is still symptomatic. The outbreak of the Corona virus was begun in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The most common symptoms are fever, tiredness and dry cough. Some individuals also develop aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, or diarrhea. It was reported that traditional remedies may alleviate the symptoms of COVID19. Ayurveda is the world’s oldest medical system that can manage any disease without side effects. Ayurveda is equipped with varieties of treatment modalities to handle with any type of deadly diseases. However, a major drawback is a lack of adequate scientific basis. In recent time, a branch of modern medical science has developed and is known as Psycho- Neuro -Immunology. It deals with the phenomenon of how our thoughts and emotions can affect our immune system. Stress, fear and negative emotions are known to weaken our immune system while Yoga (including meditation), mindfulness, positive emotions, and relaxa-tion strengthen it. Yoga plays an important role to strengthen our immune system.
