ABSTRACT
Of the various skills needed in end-of-life care, none is more important than the ability to communicate effectively. The time with terminal illness or the dying process is a time when the patients were overwhelm with several emotional feelings. This should be the time when care providers need to listen to the wishes of the dying patient’s by communicating with them in the most appropriate ways. In the end-of life care, effective communication is the fundamental component to the physician and patient relationships. However, due to the lack or absence of good communications in Indian end-of-life care setting, many patients receive unwanted life-sustaining treatments along with inappropriate care which they may not prefer, if they were asked about their preference of care in the dying process. Good communication enables patients and families to make quality decision about healthcare, to prepare for the future, and to express and meet their preferences for end-of-life care. especially, when it comes for breaking the bad news to the patient and family good communication plays an important role in the face of many barriers. This present studies is mainly base on the available literatures and documents and the study is being carried out in the form of literature review, with the aim to improve the quality of life through good communication. It contain some guiding principles for physicians and other care providers on who to communicate effectively and break the bad news without hurting the emotions or feelings of the patients and families.

ABSTRACT
The extensive use of pesticides to control agricultural pests poses a serious threat to organisms of the aquatic environment. Chemicals entering the aquatic ecosystem through human activities, either accidentally or by design may cause adverse effects on the aquatic biota, including deleterious changes which disrupt metabolic activity at the biochemical levels. In the present study the impact of pesticide quinalphos on tissues (muscle, gills, hepatopancreas, spermatheca and ovary) of Spiralothelphusa hydrodroma was determined. Histological alterations and biochemical changes such as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), activities in tissues had been carried out. Overall work concluded that histological biomarkers provide reliable data to discriminate the usage of pesticides which had direct influence on loss of aquatic animals.

ABSTRACT
Stress has become a common factor in healthcare departments especially for doctors as they deal with large number of patients with variety conditions and work overload. So, effective coping strategies are important to reduce stress among doctors. The present article is discussed about the presence of occupational stress among doctors and their findings with suggestions to reduce the levels of stress. This study recommended that all the sources of occupational stress especially heavy workload, financial and family concerns should be dealt with through restructuring of words and rising satisfaction of physicians about their job.

ABSTRACT
From 1909 onwards, the cancer immune-surveillance concept has undergone three distinct eras. Between 1957-1974 there was a general acceptance of the concept which was however abandoned between 1974-1996. 1996-2001 again saw the resurrection of immune-surveillance concept even-though now it had been modified to an elegant theory of tumour immunoediting proposed by Robert Schreiber. Recognition and targeting of cells by the immune system isbelieved to occur in three phases. Phase I, Elimination: cancer cells are recognized by the immune system via their antigens and targeted for destruction. In the process, some cells acquire mutations that allow them to resist immune destruction. Phase II, Equilibrium: low levels of abnormal cells persist, but their proliferation and spread are held in check by the adaptive immune response.Phase III, Escape: further mutation in the surviving cells leads to the capacity for immortal growth and metastasis. Over time, inhibitory immune responses begin to dominate and immune activity shifts from anti- to pro-. The present review aims to give a brief insight into the molecular interactions that take place during the process called Cancer Immunoediting.

ABSTRACT
Research reviews revealed that irisin hormone was discovered in 2012, when researchers at Harvard Medical School found that both mice and human could produce the hormone during exercise. Further studies revealed that, in mice, irisin improved blood-sugar regulation and led to weight loss, causing some people to speculate that a drug based on the hormone could be used as a treatment in obesity. This study was, therefore, undertaken to find out the impact of the training of yogic exercises on irisin hormone in obese people. Thirty obese female (n=60), age: 40-50 yrs., from different nearby housing societies in Pune (India), were randomly divided in to two groups viz., 30 experimental and 30 control. The obese subjects were selected on the basis of their BMI (Body Mass Index). Blood sample of these 60 subjects were collected during pre-test, post-test and follow up test to assess the level of irisin hormone by employing Elisa Reader instrument. Yogic exercise training was imparted to the experimental group for a period of 6 months, whereas the controlled subjects did not participate in the said programme. The result of post t-test revealed that the yogic exercise training was significantly effective in increasing the level of irisin hormone (t=3.69, p<0.05) than the control group. This result, in turn, suggests that yogic exercise programme increases irisin hormone that might have helped for weight loss among the female obese.

ABSTRACT
The main objective of this study was concerned and focused on the influence of parenting style on problem behavior among pre-adolescents and how different parenting style lead to different behavior problems among pre-adolescents. In this study 150 samples were selected through random sampling in the age group of 8 to 12 years. For measuring the influence of parent style among pre-adolescents parenting-style scale and problem-behavior checklist were used. Findings suggested that authoritarian parenting style leads the children to become rebellious and adopt problematic behavior. In contrast, authoritative parenting style is effective for children, as it encourages moderate parenting style. Parents who spend maximum time with their children reduce the probability of problematic behavior among pre-adolescents.

ABSTRACT
The pure microalgal species such as Anabaena sp., Nostoc sp., and Phormidium sp., were collected and isolated from marakkanam salt pan (water samples), tamilnadu. The culture was harvested in BG11, microalgae can be used to produce energy in different process; it is one of the best effective methods, to convert the algal oil derivatives in to biodiesel. These selected potential microalgal species were subjected to fatty acids extraction and transesterification to determine the fatty acid compounds by GC-MS and FT-IR analysis for the production of biodiesel. The Palmitic acids, Pentadecanoic acid, Oleic acid, Octadecanoic acid, Eicosedenoic acid etc., were accumulated from the selected micro algal species. The FT-IR spectrum retrieved from the FAME of all the three microalgal strains strongly confirms the presence of hydroxyl group, alkenes group, alkanes group, alkynes group, esters and aromatic groups
