This is a book about understanding as much as we can about the effects and intervention of some of the most significant facts and psychological issues due to excessive digital use. The current generation of young people spend less time in person with peers compared with previous generations, and technology influences their identity and socialization in numerous ways. While technology has opened up links for individuals to readily access information, help, and support, there are significant risks associated with its increased usage. Specifically, screen time and social media use among kids and teens have been linked with an increased prevalence of mental health concerns. The effects of technology on children and teens can have an impact on social skills, their development and can be linked to a number of other subsequent factors
From the reviews: "Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and neighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting journal in the mentioned branches. ...The abstracts are classified under more than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical library all over the world." Space Science Reviews#1 "Dividing the whole field plus related subjects into 108 categories, each work is numbered and most are accompanied by brief abstracts. Fairly comprehensive cross-referencing links relevant papers to more than one category, and exhaustive author and subject indices are to be found at the back, making the catalogues easy to use. The series appears to be so complete in its coverage and always less than a year out of date that I shall certainly have to make a little more space on those shelves for future volumes."

In fulfilling the long-awaited need for a constructive and critical rethinking of Dalit theology this book offers and explores the synoptic healing stories as a relevant biblical paradigm for Dalit theology in order to help redress the lacuna between Dalit theology and the social practice of the Indian Church. Peniel Rajkumar's starting point is that the growing influence of Dalit theology in academic circles is incompatible with the praxis of the Indian Church which continues to be passive in its attitude towards the oppression of the Dalits both within and outside the Church. The theological reasons for this lacuna between Dalit theology and the Church's praxis, Rajkumar suggests, lie in the content of Dalit theology, especially the biblical paradigms explored, which do not offer adequate scope for engagement in praxis.

The growth of an economy depends upon a multiplicity of factors such as the rate of capital formation, rate of growth of population, efficiency of the money and capital markets, availability of the required quantum and type of labour force, availability of natural resources, economic and political stability, administrative efficiency, role of social and cultural values, development of means of transport and communications, rise in standard of health and education etc., of all the factors which are affecting the rate of growth of an economy in developing countries is the capital accumulation. Further it is accepted by all the economists who are concerned with this problem that the capital accumulation plays a predominant role for economic growth of any country. Hence, economic growth is a direct function of the rate of capital formation and the experiences of advanced countries reveal that they could achieve economic growth through well developed capital markets.
All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) was initiated in 2011 during which data for the year 2010-11 was collected. The survey was utmost necessary as none of the source of data on Higher education was giving complete picture of higher education in the country. Also, there were many important parameters on which data is required for policy making but either no data was available or incomplete data was available. For the first time all the major Stakeholders in Higher Education such as University Grants Commissions, All India Council for Technical Education, Medical Council of India as well as State Governments participated in the data collection exercise. The entire survey was conducted through electronic mode and a dedicated portal http://aishe.gov.in was developed for the purpose, thus making the exercise completely paperless. The survey covered all the Institutions in the country engaged in imparting the higher education. Data is being collected on several parameters such as teachers, student enrolment, programmes, examination results, education finance, infrastructure etc. Indicators of educational development such as Institution Density, Gross Enrolment Ratio, Pupil Teacher Ratio, Gender Parity Index etc. are calculated from the data collected through AISHE. These are useful in making informed policy decisions and research for development of education sector.
Ever since HND gained the status of the official language ,the moral responsibility of making the language acceptable in perfect administrative form has gradually increased. For the growth, development and expansion of HND, this book is a positive endeavour. As for official purposes, Government officials and employees are deeply enamoured of English in official transactions and failed to accept HND seriously. It is because of a lack of confidence to use proper words or sentences in HND. This book would enlighten the readers about the fact that each official English expression has an HND equivalent to it. The book is meant for those (particularly for English speaking individuals) who are in government offices, industrial houses, corporate business, private establishments, banks, railways or LIC, etc where the need to communicate in HND arises from time to time. The book offers the reader valuable techniques on how to structure the language. Salient features include: *Gazette Notifications. *Administrative Notings. *Accounts & Audit Notings & Objections. *Draft Telegrams. *Synonyms of Secret Reports. *Adjective Terminology. And many more useful tips. #v&spublishers

Environmental Health is being challenged globally by a number of factors. The fast-paced development has led to several problems that are interrelated and variable, ill-defined, incomplete, challenging and difficult to resolve. Climate change, deforestation, urbanization, loss of biodiversity, STDs, zoonotic illnesses, and other concerns are examples of various factors when it comes to current global health emergencies. These issues are among the continuing challenges in global health because they are complicated, multidimensional, and significantly influenced by social, economic, and political variables. The 21st century faces unprecedented environmental changes, from climate change and urbanization to deforestation, biodiversity, loss of natural resources and habitat. Accelerated economic growth with high consumption level in developed countries and aspirations of developing countries to reach matching levels of growth are continuing to damage our planet. As Earth’s ecosystems are disrupted, we face the loss of ecosystem services and even the spread of zoonotic disease, COVID-19 is an example to it. Developing nations like India face even bigger challenge as India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world and will continue its rapid urbanisation and economic development in the coming decades. Unfortunately, this growth is at the cost of degrading environment health in the form of rising consumption and demand for energy, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and constraints on critical natural resources such as land, water and biodiversity harboured by them. Every problem has a solution and an old adage says “When there is a Will there is a Way”. This book not only discusses the reasons and effects of the environmental damage but also about the way out for a better and healthy environment and Environment Wellness. A collective effort, cooperation and commitment from all sectors of society needs to be thoroughly comprehend for Environmental Wellness.
Preface: There are lots of brilliant edited books, text books, hand books and reference books available on Elementary Parasitology, Applied Parasitology, Medical Parasitology, Helminthology as well as there are many dedicated monographs on particular topics. However, the conceptualized edited book dedicated to under graduate medical students post graduate bioscience students and research scholars for the applicability during their dissertation or pre-doctoral programs related to integrated approaches of all the aforesaid areas lacking so far. Therefore, the scarcity of books focused on the integrated aspects of Parasitic, helminthes and zoonotic diseases of different origins in global perspectives impelled me to produce this work in the form a book. This book is written with the objectives to deliver the fundamental knowledge of the parasitic and helminthes diseases with zoonotic signifcance. As the book entitled “Emerging Infectious Zoonotic Diseases: Causes and Therapeutic Approaches”, therefore authors covered all the dimension related to zoonoses and zoonotic diseases in the present book and compiled the information, scientific findings, reported clinical observations in terms of sources of infection, types based on the parasites, pathogens and vectors, disease symptoms, causes, epidemiology, precautionary and control measures along with the recent advances in therapeutic approaches meticulously. Thus the book compiled here, itself holding a diverse but integrated scientific data and knowledge of hazardous microbes, parasitic fauna of various natural environments, hosts and vectors and also providing practical understanding of these hazards as utmost necessity to protecting the health of humans, society, country and ecosystems for the holistic and sustainable development. The book has been prepared in accordance with the new concept of research dealing an introduction to complete aspects of the major causes and cure of zoonotic diseases. This book represents an update and expansion on a previous pedagogic pattern and the adaptation of new E-based teaching learning system in reference to merits and demerits in current situation for the development of academic knowledge and skill in class going youths. The book will be path cracker for those Graduate, Postgraduate and Researchers who need to know zoonoses and dealing to Parasitology research at an elementary standard. The editor/author is extremely appreciative to scholarly readers and appeal to send their precious suggestions for additional perfection of the book into possible future edition.
Annotation. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.
