There is a huge relation between humans and plants. In Hinduism, vriksha have been considered like God. With the hope of achieving good health and accomplishment of works, the legislation for their worship and protection is very ancient. Ayurveda and astrology are proven to be an Indian heritage. They both are established with a scientific base. Nowadays they have got worldwide acceptance. The aim of both the sciences is to maintain the physical and mental health of human beings. Nakshatras have a very close relationship with nature, due to changes in nakshatras transformation occur in plants and all living beings. it has been seen that the graha and nakshatras related to our birth time have a wide impact on humans it is described in many old scriptures and Ayurveda. Indian astrology has stated 27 nakshatras with their vriksha. The nakshatra at which a person is born is considered to be his or her birth nakshatra. Each nakshatra has a relation with a vriksha, it is called nakshatra vriksha this is described in rajnighantu they are also known as aradhya vrikshas (worshipped plant). It is also described in many old scriptures and Ayurveda.1 Keywords: graha, nakshatra, nakshatra vriksha, aradhya vriksha.

All human beings are susceptible to numerous problems in life however the elderly population is much more vulnerable to such issues. The number of elderly population is increasing particularly in the developing countries. In 2050, it is estimated that the world will have more aged people than the children less than 15 years (Muhammad, 2013). Although elderly have better contributed in the development during their productive time, however, their contribution has not been acknowledged. They are not properly cared by their family members rather they are abused mentally and physically. They have weak economic status due to their weak physical and mental health. They are not allowed to be involved in decision making. These deprivations and deplorable condition have led them to be dependent on others. In Pakistan till now, no social policy has been devised which could have been influential in the solution of the elderly problem. This literature based study highlights the problems of the senior citizens of Pakistan.

The People

For the people living in the 21st century, whether the clothing and foods are healthy has become one of the hot topics. People are increasingly concerned about the aspects that involve human beings’ physical and mental health, such as low carbon, environmental protection, health and green issues. However, as the consumption subject of the contemporary era, the youngsters born in the 1980s and 1990s have higher requirements for the life styles and the low carbon and environment-friendly living and consumption concepts seem to better cater to their consumption views. Being one of the objects that are most closely related to people's health, clothing is badly related to people's health and environment. The paper will combine the writer's cognition about the low-carbon environment-friendly fabric and the strengths of such fabric and the contemporary consumers' consumption views to make a systematic elaboration about the development prospect of low-carbon and environment-friendly fabric.

Good health, of vital importance in order to carry out our daily routine, consists of both physical and mental health. Tyrosine (Tyr) deficiency as well as its excess are issues that can affect mental health and can generate disorders such as depression, anxiety, or stress. Tyr is the amino acid (AA) responsible for maintaining good mental health, and for this reason, the present research presents the development of new electrochemical sensors modified with polypyrrole (PPy) doped with different doping agents such as potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) (FeCN), sodium nitroprusside (NP), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) for a selective and sensitive detection of Tyr. The development of the sensors was carried out by chronoamperometry (CA) and the electrochemical characterization was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The detection limits (LOD) obtained with each modified sensor were 8.2 × 10−8 M in the case of PPy /FeCN-SPCE, 4.3 × 10−7 M in the case of PPy/NP-SPCE, and of 3.51 × 10−7 M in the case of PPy/SDS-SPCE, thus demonstrating a good sensitivity of these sensors detecting L-Tyr. The validation of sensors was carried out through quantification of L-Tyr from three pharmaceutical products by the standard addition method with recoveries in the range 99.92–103.97%. Thus, the sensors present adequate selectivity and can be used in the pharmaceutical and medical fields.

The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), whose disease is COVID-19, in March 2020, spread around the world. To minimize the deleterious effects of emotional vulnerability, many strategies are in use worldwide, such as support groups, online courses, use of social networks, web meetings, yoga practice, meditation, and other contemplative religious and spiritual activities. Religious and spiritual beliefs have been used to deal with tough situations and, through scientific literature is still not so clear about the role of spirituality and religiosity (S/R) in physical and mental health during the pandemic. Therefore, this article proposes a discussion about the physiopathological mechanisms of COVID-19 and how S/R could be useful in this context. In this sense, religious faith can be a powerful resource for good health and well-being with a positive impact verified in mental health outcomes it is plausible to suggest that S/R should be an important tool in minimizing the population suffering at this moment. Spiritual care has long been recognized as one of the domains of quality palliative care, but every health care professional is ultimately responsible for ensuring spiritual care to deal with spiritual distress and improve quality of life in the scenarios inherent to COVID-19.

Abstract Objectives The USA maintains the world’s largest immigration detention system. This study examines the mechanisms by which detention serves as a catalyst for worsening health. Methods Using data from detained immigrants in California (n = 493) from 2013 to 2014, we assessed the prevalence of exposure to conditions of confinement hypothesized to negatively influence health; the extent to which conditions of confinement are associated with psychological stress, diagnosed mental health conditions, and/or declines in general health; and the cumulative impact of confinement conditions on these outcomes. Results We found that each condition increased the likelihood of one or more negative health conditions, but there was also a cumulative effect: for each additional confinement condition, the odds of worsening general health rose by 39% and reporting good health decreased by 24%. Conclusions Confinement conditions are associated with poor physical and mental health outcomes among immigrants detained in immigration prisons. Policies that seek to improve specific conditions in detention centers may remove some risks of harm, but alternatives to detention are likely to be most effective.

Unborn Baby

Purpose: As the good nutritional food provides physical health, the unborn child in the womb require Sanskara to acquire mental health to thrive. The activity of mother during pregnancy in the form of prayer (good rational thoughts), Manshakti (positive emotion), conversation with fetus (talk) or expressing feeling (touch) is not only recognised by unborn baby but it has a positive effects on physical and mental health. Hence, Garbhasanskara is scientific way of moulding mental health of unborn child. Method: Ayurveda classics, textbook of obstetrics and internet publications were consulted and reviewed for carrying out the present work. Result: The sanskrit word 'Garbha' means fetus in the womb and Sanskara means educating the mind. So, Garbhasanskara essentially means educating the mind of the fetus. The fundamental principle underlying Garbhasanskara is that unborn baby is able to sense, feel, listen, dream, respond to outside stimulus. Even, Ancient Indian medicine has recognized the need for the mental, spiritual and physical preparation of mother-to-be for the momentous event of childbirth. Ayurveda describes this theory as "Supraja Janan" or eu-maternity. This "Supraja Janan" involves the preparation of couple planning pregnancy, 3 months prior to conception. It can be achieved by regular practice of Garbhasanskara which includes music therapy, Mantra therapy, proper Ahara and Vihara, Yoga and meditation. To develop the desired qualities in the baby every mother should follow the process of Garbhasanskara. Discussion: Garbhasanskara is a process of nurturing the baby in womb. It is also process of training the baby as well as mothers mind during pregnancy. It helps in positive state of mind throughout pregnancy, enhances chances of normal delivery, good health of mother during pre and post conception upto delivery and pregnancy occurs without any complication which is the need of current situation due to unhealthy lifestyle habits. So, a broad expanse of this is described in the present paper.

Abstract Social support is fundamental to human survival, and is significantly involved in the attainment and maintenance of good health and wellbeing. Previous studies have often considered social support as a singular, non-dimensional construct. While this is important and enlightening, the method of adding up individual aspects to create a singular, non-dimensional construct has produced little understanding of these aspects/dimensions of social support and their implications for health. This study examined three dimensions or types of social support-affective, confidant, and instrumental support-and their associations with physical and mental health in older adults. Data for this study were obtain from Utah Fertility, Longevity, and Aging (FLAG) study. Participants involved 325 older adults, aged 50 years or older. Results showed a significant, strong positive correlation between affective support and physical and mental health, and weak association between confidant support and physical and mental health. The correlation between instrumental support and physical and mental health was moderate. After controlling for the influence of socio-demographic variables, affective and instrumental support significantly predicted physical and mental health. Confidant support was not a significant predictor of either physical or mental health. The findings suggest both affective and instrumental support might be relatively more important to the health and mental wellbeing of older adults than confidant support, underscoring the relative importance older adults attach to quality rather than confidant support, which essentially is quantity of social ties.

Employment Characteristics

Abstract Background Women combining paid job and motherhood may experience a poorer health status than those childless. This risk is expectedly higher among lone mothers due to their greater emotional, social, and economic vulnerability. This study aims to assess the impact of employment characteristics on the health of working mothers and to understand differences between lone and coupled mothers. Methods We used data from the 5th Portuguese National Health Survey from employed women (N = 1,649) aged 25-55 living with a child (<16). We modelled depression (assessed by the Personal Health Questionnaire-8) and less-than-good self-reported health as a function of employment variables (part-time job; self-employment; instable job situation; skill level and sector of activity) using logistic regressions, adjusting for age, family variables, socioeconomic status, and social support. Interaction terms assessed differences between lone and coupled mothers. Results Women in part-time (OR = 3.04, 95%CI=2.97-3.11), high-skilled jobs (OR = 3.57, 95%CI=1.30-1.38), and self-employed (OR = 1.34, 95%CI=1.30-1.38) had higher odds for depression, compared to those working in low-skilled, full time and not self-employed jobs. Less-than-good health was also more likely among those working part-time (OR = 1.34, 95%CI=1.31-1.36) and self-employed (OR = 1.34, 95%CI=1.31-1.37). Mothers' mental health disadvantage was amplified when alone regarding self-employment and part-time jobs. Conclusions Employed mothers' physical and mental health may be harmed by part-time jobs, self-employment, and working in more differentiated jobs. Employed lone mothers may experience greater risks than coupled mothers. Key messages Part-time, high-differentiated jobs or self-employment may harm the physical and mental health of working mothers. Lone mothers are disproportionately impacted by these employment characteristics.

This article aims to explain how As Shifa in the interpretation of Al-Ibriz by KH Bisri Mustofa and how to obtain physical and mental health in the interpretation of Al-Ibriz by KH Bisri Mustofa. He interpreted the verses of shifā 'as medicine for spiritual health only, but there also argued that the Qur'an could not only be used as a medicine for spiritual / mental health (soul and heart) but could also be used as a medicine for health physical. The results of this study show that the Qur'an as a guide book, the Qur'an contains various information about medicine for humans, the Qur'an fulfills the principles of medicine and the rules of treatment. Shifā 'in the Qur'an has a close relationship to physical health. According to Bisri Mustofa, the Qur'an is not only a medicine for liver disease, but the protracted liver disease will cause physical illness known as psychosomatic disease.
