The pulmonary tuberculosis is endemic in India, and the incidence of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is also rising. Though the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis is high in acyanotic congenital heart disease, in Tetralogy of Fallot, which is a low flow condition, this association is infrequent. We report a rare association of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis and Tetralogy of Fallot in a young adult patient who presented with breathlessness on exertion, hemoptysis and frequent respiratory infections. The patient was successfully managed by bronchial artery embolization, venesections, pulmonary outflow valvuloplasty and regime for Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Perceptible improvement in the quality of air and water during COVID-19 lockdown has taught humanity several lessons and brought realization which might otherwise have been missed or taken several experiments to come to it. This study is aimed at understanding whether our approach towards holistic environmental protection needs rethinking by appropriate positioning of man as a species in the context of the biosphere and commensurate responsibility he has towards it. The technique used for the study is doctrinal research which shall take into account available primary resources, such as report as well as secondary resources, such as articles and books. The study focuses on the ancient wisdom available in the Hindu philosophies and literature in order to understand the relation between man, other living organisms, plants as well as the abiotic components of the earth. The study has shown that humans, by being at the top of the evolutionary ladder, has seeming dominance over the environ, and accordingly has formulated norms which are anthropocentric. However, new approaches to environmental protection and conservation are required to be adopted which recognize the interconnectedness, interrelatedness and interdependency of the biotic and abiotic components of this earth.

Physical properties of fabric basically depend on fabric cover and porosity. Other fabric parameters that influence the air transmittance of a fabric are type of stitches used, type of yarn, linear density, twist factor in the yarn, stitch density, thickness, tightness factor and fractional cover of fabric and moisture content which has a circuitous effect on those parameters. Many researchers had already derived so many relationships among those parameters and the fabrics properties. But, air transmittance rate may influence other comfort properties of the fabric. Our investigation shows the relationship of different parameters which can alter the transmittance of air through the plain knitted fabric. Here, a little change in the structure can alter the air transmittance which has been represented graphically.

This paper aims to analyze Indonesia's readiness in realizing SDGs 2030 in the field of education and the things that hinder the implementation of SDGs 2030 in the education sector in Indonesia. This type of research is normative by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through library research. All data collected were then analyzed qualitatively. The results show that Indonesia's readiness in realizing SDGs 2030 in the education sector is due to a commitment to play a strong role in achieving SDGs in three main ways, namely policy advocacy and consultation, capacity building and knowledge sharing. In terms of access to education, UNESCO can provide significant assistance to the Government of Indonesia, particularly in areas related to the promotion of quality education for all; improving the quality of education at the basic education level; and literacy quality for all. In addition, UNICEF also has a focus area in terms of Basic Education for All, which can make a useful contribution to the Government of Indonesia. The main thing that hinders the implementation of SDGs 2030 in the education sector in Indonesia is related to the quality of education as well as the quality of teachers which is still lacking.

The sample of the study consisted of 120 participants. The General Self-efficacy (GSE) scale was developed by Jerusalem and Schwarzer [1] and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), created by Ed Diener [2], was used for the data collection. Having collected the data from the Bank employees of Sitamarhi district of North, Bihar, India, individual’s score were obtained for giving statistical treatment. Pearson’s correlation was applied to study the relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction while simple linear regression was used to examine the role of self-efficacy on life satisfaction. Results indicated that self-efficacy has its major impact on life satisfaction, whereas; Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that has influenced a person in a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their respective goals. It is observed during the present study that people generally avoid tasks where they perceive the self-efficacy is low, but undertake tasks where self-efficacy is high. When self-efficacy is significantly beyond actual ability, it leads towards an overestimation of the ability to complete tasks. Obtained results have been discussed in detail by giving appropriate reasons.

Obesity is a global epidemic .it has been linked to many chronic disease such as cancer, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction. A body mass index (BMI) is calculated using the person’s weight in pounds and height in inches using the BMI formula. Classification for overweight is a BMI range from 25-29.9 and greater 30 is considered obese. According to the BMI system, currently a worldwide estimation of 937 millions overweight adults and 396 million obese adults. Aims: The present study aim to reduce the weight used in ginger water with honey. The research design for study as the quasi experimental which is used to a study to assess the effectiveness of ginger water with honey on weight loss among obese women at community area (mappedu village). Result and discussion: The study shows that weight loss as shows statistically non significant at demographic variables and shows that age ,types of family, education socioeconomic status, religion, occupation the pretest mean score of weight loss score was 75.71 with standard deviation 2.06 and the post test means score of weight loss was 70.03 with standard deviation 2.32. This clearly infers that ginger water with honey administered to obese women resulted in a significant reduction in the level of weight loss among obese women.
