Acne vulgaris is a common chronic disease involving blockage and /or inflammation of pilosebaceous units. Acne can presents as noninflammatory lesions, inflammatory lesions, or a mixture of both, affecting mostly the face but also the back and chest. Typical features of the condition include blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem, and in extreme cases depression. It is the commonest dilemma associated with complexion and smoothness of skin .sometimes leading to major skin problems,  which is characterized by macula, papulo, pustular eruption on the skin, especially on the face. Both male and female gender of adolescent age group are commonly affected. Genetics is the primary cause of acne in 80%of cases. The role of diet and cigarette smoking in the condition is unclear and neither cleanliness nor exposure to sunlight appears to play a part. In both sexes, hormones called androgens appear to be part of the underlying mechanism, by causing increased production of sebum. In the Ayurvedic perspective Acne Vulgaris can be correlated with Mukhadushika . Mukhadushika is explained by Aacharya Sushruta under kshudra rogas and is considered as swatantra vyadhi in the ayurvedic literature. It is characterized by shalmali kantaka sadrusha pidika on the face. Mukhadushika is also called as Tarunya pitika.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin disease of the pilo-sebaceous unit and develops due to blockages in the skin's hair follicles. It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. These blockages are thought to occur as a result of the following four abnormal processes: a higher than normal amount of oily sebum production (influenced by androgens), excessive deposition of keratin protein leading to comedo formation, colonization of the follicle by Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria, and the local release of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the skin. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or suicidal thoughts. In  Ayurveda, it is termed as Mukhadushika. In Ayurveda, Mukhadushika is described under the heading of Kshudra rogas. These diseases are called as Kshudra because of their lesser severity. According to Sushruta Samhita Nidan Sthana, these are Shalmali thorn like eruption found on the face of adolescents are called as Mukhadushika or Yuvan Pidika. These are impregnated with Meda. Vitiated Vata Dosha, Kapha Dosha and Rakta Dosha are considered to be the main Samprapti Ghatak of Mukhadushika. In Ayurveda treatment of diseases is mainly of two types of Chikitsa are described i.e. Shodhana Chikitsa and Shamana Chikitsa. Similarly in Mukhadushika also Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa is done.

Many Humanities scholars seem to have become increasingly pessimistic due to a lack of success in their efforts to be recognized as a serious player next to their science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) colleagues. This appears to be the result of a profound uncertainty in the self-perception of individual disciplines within the Humanities regarding their role both in academia and society. This ambiguity, not least, has its roots in their own history, which often appears as an interwoven texture of conflicting opinions. Taking a stance on the current and future role of the Humanities in general, and individual disciplines in particular thus asks for increased engagement with their own past, i.e., histories of scholarship, which are contingent on societal and political contexts. This article’s focus is on a case study from the field of Old Norse Studies. In the face of the rise of populism and nationalism in our days, Old Norse Studies, with their focus on a ‘Germanic’ past, have a special obligation to address societal challenges. The article argues for the public engagement with the histories of individual disciplines to strengthen scholarly credibility in the face of public opinion and to overcome trenches which hamper attempts at uniting Humanities experts and regaining distinct social relevance.

In the face of a rapidly changing global environment, detailed research into the actual role of protected areas (PAs) in preventing the destruction of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity became particularly important. Using 304 phytosociological relevés of oak forests from SW Poland, we monitored their state of preservation reflected by the share of synanthropes (Ws-c index) in relation to (i) duration of protection, (ii) status of protected area, (iii) main topographic factors, and (iv) bedrock type. We show that the Ws-c index of studied forests depends primarily on the habitat conditions, especially bedrock type, while both the duration and status of protection are not relevant. The most disturbed are forests developing on serpentine substrates regardless of whether they are protected or not. Within the rest of the investigated sites, the Ws-c index is significantly lower and does not meaningfully differ between protected and unprotected areas. On the one hand, our results suggest that the fact of establishing protection does not ensure a favourable state of conservation of forest communities. On the other hand, well-preserved forest communities can also be expected outside PAs what makes them an important target for nature protection in the future.

This article reviews the research on Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) services for older workers in England. It sets out the arguments for targeting IAG services at older people in the context of extended working lives. It reviews the evidence on how to provide services which meet the specific needs of older workers, whilst recognising the diversity of the 50+ age group, and provides a case study of an age-sensitive IAG project. It concludes that demand for IAG from older workers needs to be stimulated and that the role of IAG in helping older adults to work and learn deserves greater recognition.

Geriatric is the branch of medicine concern with the old age care and treatment. This age group where catabolic, degenerative phenomenons get accelerted due to dominate of vat dosha.The asthikshaya occurs due to vataprakop. Because Vatadosh and Asthi dhatu are related to each other. Therefore in Asthi dhatu, there is formation of Aakashyitva (Space) and soushirya (porocity). It results into osteoporosis. In Modern science, Osteoporosis is most common bone disease in Geriatric population. It is characterised by reduced bone mineral density (BMD), micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, calcium and phosphorus and increased risk of facture. The prevalence of Osteoporosis and Osteoporosis related facture increases markedly with age, reflecting in the related decline in the bone mass and increased risk of Osteoporosis in the Geriatric population. Madhuli (Eleusine coracona) contain more amount of calcium and phosphorus. So this dravy is usefull in Osteoporosis. So Madhuli modaka showed symptomatically good result in Osteoporosis.

Abstract Background Many studies have investigated the related variables of nurses’ psychological distress, but little is known about the underlying mechanism between job insecurity, self-esteem and psychological distress. Aims The purpose of this study examined the role of self-esteem as a mediator between job insecurity and psychological distress among Chinese nurses. Methods Questionnaires, assessing job insecurity, self-esteem and psychological distress, were collected from 462 nurses at a third-grade class-A hospital in Shandong Province, China. Results Results showed that the prevalence of psychological distress among nurses was 83.8%. Regression analysis showed that job insecurity was positively associated with psychological distress, explaining 17.5% of variance in psychological distress. Mediation analysis showed that self-esteem partially mediated the effect of the two dimensions of job insecurity on psychological distress. Conclusions Nurses with low self-esteem and high job insecurity deserved attention. Programs that reduce uncertainty and increase predictability and cultivate a supportive, cooperative work climate may promote nurse overall health and foster self-esteem.
