COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease associated with coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 named coronavirus disease  (COVID-19), coronavirus is interspecies, and can also be transmitted from human to human that has triggered a global pandemic over the past one year. As no particular medication is available at present as said preventive is better than cure must pursued. Many health professional like physiotherapist play a big role in understanding of COVID-19 and its precautionary steps to stop the spread of corona virus. Because a strong immunity will protect us, but prevention and recovery is an important way to cope up with the dangerous situation of COVID -19 diseases. And in rural area there is lack of hospital facilities so the need for the awareness, precautionary measures and rehabilitation is essential measures to spread of corona virus in community. Physiotherapist plays a primary rolls in awareness about precautionary and safety measures also physiotherapeutic care during acute and post Covid situation. Physiotherapist plays internal roll in community rehabilitation through home workouts, training for physical fitness by exercise, yoga and respiratory care exercises to increase strength and reduce disability. During this pandemic physiotherapist work on digital platform through telehealth, virtual group rehabilitation methods which work on health rehabilitation with also proper ergonomic training during work from home to reduce work hazards and improve productivity.

An outbreak of the Novel Corona Virus disease in 2019 is a health disaster for the world. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease associated with coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 named coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), coronavirus is interspecies, and can also be transmitted from human to human that has triggered a global pandemic over the past 3months. At present, there is no specific treatment exclusively available to treat COVID-19 patients. This condition is managed by symptomatic treatment for symptoms like cough, cold, fever, and other respiratory-related ailments although over a period of time since this pandemic is started patients are showing varied symptoms that are not respiratory in nature including headache, loss of taste and smell sensation, body aches and fatigue. Prominent symptoms are managed by best supportive care while secondary symptoms are treated by medicines. As no specific treatment is available at present as said prevention is better than cure must followed. A good immunity can protect us, so prevention and rehabilitation is an essential way to cope up with the dangerous situation of COVID -19 diseases.

Corona virus disease has engulfed the globe for well over one year now. Multiple strategies to control the pandemic have been in practice in different countries, ranging from strict curfew like lock down to selective lock down (also called smart lock down) to no lock down at all. Proponents of no lock down favored the hypothesis of ‘herd immunity’. In Japan and some other developed countries, the main emphasis has been on identification of positive case through mass testing. Although, if it made any difference in the morbidity or mortality, is anyone’s guess. However, the use of mask by all and identification and separation of the infective (not all infected) persons has led Japan to control the spread better than many other countries. The author emphasizes that we shall need to continue our all-out efforts to defeat the virus for many more months if not years.

The profitability of goat enterprise depends on successful rearing of more number/per cent of kids on goat farm. This study was carried out to compare the performance of Surti goat under continuous and seasonal breeding pattern at Surti goat farm of the station for a period of four years. The goats were maintained on stall feeding and managed as per standard procedure. The number of kidding, kid born, their mortality and successful rearing of kids for one year of age were studied. The numbers of females under continuous and seasonal breeding were 283 and 303. The kidding percentage was 74.55 and 39.93 for continuous and seasonal breeding respectively, which indicates that the breeding performance is much higher in continuous breeding thereby getting more number of kids (227), while in seasonal breeding kidding per cent was very less and number of kids available for rearing were also less (134). However, the incidence of mortality was much higher in continuous breeding 41.85% (95) with the availability of 58.14% (132) of kids for rearing, whereas in seasonal breeding mortality was 32.08% (43) with the availability of 67.92% (91) kids for rearing. Grossly, the overall percentage availability of kids for rearing is more in continuous breeding, hence to optimize the profit of goat farm continuous breeding is better than seasonal breeding with a precautionary measures to control kid mortality.

Chess Playing

Chess playing has a significant role in participants’ resources allocation, both at a psychological level, but mostly concerning the cognitive resources. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of chess playing on the intellectual development of primary-class students. 67 children were tested using the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices and were distributed in three different groups according to their experience with chess, namely: the control group (formed by students with no experience with chess playing), the beginners group (students with less than one year in chess playing training) and the advanced group (children with more than two years experience with chess). Results indicated that chess playing had a significant effect on the SPM performance, indicating that those in the advanced group performed significantly better than those in the control or in the beginners group. Conclusions of this study tap into the benefits of playing chess with a focus on the children’s’ cognitive development.

: The current global pandemic outbreak of a novel type of corona virus termed by World Health Organization as COVID-19 became an grave concern and worry to human health and world economy. Intense research efforts are now underway worldwide to combat and prevent the spread of this deadly disease. This zoonotic virus, a native to bat population is most likely transmitted to human via a host reservoir. Due to its close similarity to previously known SARS CoV (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus) of 2002 and related MERS CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus) of 2012, it is also known as SARS CoV2. But unlike them it is far too infectious, virulent and lethal. Among its various proteins, the surface spike glycoprotein “S” has drawn significant attention because of its implication in viral recognition and host-virus fusion process. A detail comparative analysis of “S” proteins of SARS CoV (now called SARS CoV1), SARS CoV2 (COVID-19) and MERS CoV based on structure, sequence alignment, host cleavage sites, receptor binding domains, potential glycosylation and Cys-disulphide bridge locations has been performed. It revealed some key features and variations that may elucidate the high infection and virulence character of COVID-19. Moreover this crucial information may become useful in our quest for COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccines.

Social Protests

Emerging research on the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic draws attention to the labor effects of the crisis in the Global South. Developing countries show high levels of labor informality, where most workers cannot work from home and depend on daily income. In addition, the scarce and late state aid makes it difficult for workers to cope with the economic hardships caused by the pandemic. This research explores the employment trajectories of workers throughout the ongoing pandemic in Chile: a neoliberal country with a strong male breadwinner culture and high levels of income inequality. Using longitudinal non-probabilistic data for Chilean employment, this study finds that men lost their jobs to a lesser extent and returned to the labor market faster than women. Likewise, male workers with family (with a partner and young children) remained employed in a higher proportion than female workers with family, and most of these women shifted from employment into care work. The existing literature already pointed out how economic crises can have adverse effects on progress towards gender equality, and the current economic crisis seems to be no exception. Labor informality and low-skilled jobs were highly related to unemployment during the first months of COVID in Chile. These are important variables in a developing economy such as Chile, where around one-third of the population works under these conditions. This article concludes by reflecting on the importance of addressing the present crisis and future economic recovery with a gender perspective.

Seven children with cystic fibrosis (CF) have been treated for at least one year with intravenously administered soya oil emulsion. In all, an improvement of at least one biochemical abnormality in character with the disease appeared. The children's clinical course remains benign. This course is remarkably better than that of other children with CF treated without Intralipid in Auckland in the same period, though a placebo effect cannot be discounted. It is postulated that intravenous supplementation with essential fatty acid in CF may in turn partially correct an error of metabolism of prostaglandins present in the disease.

On March 11 2020 WHO declares corona viral disease as a global pandemic .COVID 19 pandemic has taken the world by storm and many countries like India is now experiencing a second surge due to mutant strains. Global health emergency has been precipitated by this corona virus disease caused by SARS CoV2.Acute and intermediate effects on cardiovascular system are becoming obvious with progression of time. SARS-CoV-2-related endothelial dysfunction results in an augmented risk for venous thromboembolism, systemic vasculitis, endothelial cell apoptosis, and inammation in various organs. Acute infections have troponin elevation more due to indirect cardiac damage though denite patterns of direct damage do exist. Intermediate evaluation in patients with resolved infections shows increased incidence of exercise induced arrhythmias and residual cardiovascular symptoms. The virus with its zoonotic origin based upon its genomic identity to bat derived SARS corona virus has a human to human transmission mode.ACE 2 receptors facilitate cellular entry and has been implicated in direct and indirect myocardial damage. Myocarditis, acute myocardial injury, arrhythmias and thromboembolism dominates the clinical picture. Role of imaging must be dened in relation to relevant clinical ndings. With arrival of vaccine and widespread vaccination global programs, we can look forward to understanding and managing long term complications of this disease. Prognostic implications of a resolved disease need to be evaluated by future studies.

This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of Lutzomyia longipalpis and also the canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) in a rural area of Ilha Solteira, state of São Paulo. Blood samples were collected from 32 dogs from different rural properties (small farms) and were analyzed by ELISA and the indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) in order to diagnose CVL. From these serological tests, 31.25% of the dogs were positive for CVL and these were distributed in 66.7% (8/12) of the rural properties, which were positive for L. longipalpis. CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) light traps were installed in 12 properties (one per property) and insects were caught on three consecutive days per month for one year. L. longipalpis was present on 100% of the rural properties visited, at least once during the twelve-month interval, totaling 64 males and 25 females. The insects were more numerous after the peak of the rain, but the association between prevalence of peridomestic vectors and the climatic data (precipitation, relative air humidity and temperature) and the occurrences of CVL among dogs on each rural property were not statistical significant (p <0.05). However, the occurrence of CVL cases in dogs and the presence of L. longipalpis indicate that more attention is necessairy for the control of this disease in the rural area studied.
