Indigenous health knowledge refers to the skills and information created by human societies to treat sickness and improve well-being. Typically, this knowledge focuses on disease prevention and treatment via the use of indigenous plant-based therapies. The wealth of medical ethnobotanical data acquired in Limpopo Province, South Africa, necessitated an account of the development of knowledge regarding medicinal plant use. A purposive sampling procedure was used to make up a sample of 240 participants with the age range of between 25 and 90 years. They were traditional health practitioners, ordinary community members and patients consulting with traditional health practitioners. Common knowledge gained from family, friends, and neighbors; information inherited from ancestors; and apprenticeship knowledge are the main ways in which knowledge of medicinal plant use was developed. The knowledge was acquired and handed down verbally over generations, and it remains applicable today. This knowledge was passed down orally throughout centuries, protected as the family's or practitioner's trade sectret, whereas common knowledge is held as part of the community's cultural heritage.

The reviewed paper explains about aggregate of the residue's genesis from different crops, usage in-field and out-field, reason of flaming and managing crop residue with conservation of agriculture and alternative strategies. This paper also discusses the available agriculture machinery to manage the several type of residues in-situ and ex-situ. Management of crop residue has emerged to be a big issue in northern states of India, subsequently farmers choose inflame the residues. Management of residue is important because it carry plant nutritious that enhance the topsoil fertility capacity. Flaming residue affect nature and also deficit of scrumptious number of plant exigent nutrients. The issue of on farm burning of stubbles is sharpen in recent years due to lack of labour, combine harvester and huge capital loss in removing the stubbles by traditional ways, The residues of sugarcane, rice, mustard, maize, cotton, groundnut, jute, and millet are normally inflamed on-farm by various provenience of the India.

The current study has explored the role of spatial anxiety in the performance of a navigational task. Spatial anxiety is understood in terms of the fear and uneasiness towards spatial processing. Spatially anxious individuals have been seen to restrict themselves in the event of engaging in activities that require spatial skills and processing (Lyons et al., 2018). The study sample comprised of 200 female subjects randomly chosen from the Government schools of Chandigarh (Age range: 15-18 years; Mean age= 16.3 years). The subjects were categorized into High, Moderate and Low spatial anxiety groups using the spatial anxiety questionnaire by Lyons et al. (2018). Further, the navigational task performance was measured using a simulated task. The correct responses were noted down. Repeated measures ANOVA was used. The results of the study showed that different levels of spatial anxiety play an interactive and significant role in navigational task performance across various navigational task conditions resulting in different performance levels.

This paper attempts to theorize about how the interparental relationship and 'mirroring' affects the child's choice of a romantic partner. Four dimensions were identified and a questionnaire was constructed to gauge subjective parental identification of couples in long-term relationships. Further in-depth interviews were conducted with a few participants to get more detailed accounts. In the global North, research shows that 50% of all marriages result in divorce but the same cannot be said about the Global South where getting a divorce still has a taboo attached to it. In the Indian context, only 1% of all married couples decide to end their marriage but this statistic isn't for the lack of unhappy marriages in the country. This study attempts to predict the quality of life for the future married population by ascertaining their awareness of their parent's relationship and whether they replicate the same patterns and power
dynamics.

College students across the world struggle with the unprecedented stress during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The existing psychological issues of college students were accentuated by facing the uncertain features of the Pandemic like uncertainty about their college life, their future, and their health. Intolerance of uncertainty is identified as the broad dispositional, vulnerable and maintenance factor for the emotional irregularities and the heightened psychological distress of student population during the Pandemic. Considering the need for the psychological interventions during and the post Pandemic, the present study aimed to develop and examine the feasibility and usability of the Cognitive-based Acceptance and Motivational Program (CAMP) for reducing intolerance of uncertainty and thereby reducing the psychological distress among the college students. CAMP was designed on the basis of the principles and techniques of intolerance of uncertainty theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, and self-determination theory. The researchers' developed intervention was subjected to expert validation of six disciplinary experts and a pilot study was conducted for 10 college students with a moderate level of psychological distress and a moderate level of intolerance of uncertainty. The statistical analysis of the quantitative findings of the pilot study and the feedback of the participants revealed that the CAMP is an effective psychological intervention for reducing intolerance of uncertainty and psychological distress among college students and is suitable for a randomized controlled trial.

Organ transplantation is one of the greatest medical miracles of the twentieth century. This has introduced fresh hope for the treatment of serious diseases. However, this potential has been accompanied by several issues in each of the countries. The most common issues raised are ethical implications, but in a multicultural society like India, additional concerns arise from social and religious matters. Attitude and acceptability towards organ donation vary according to social, culture, and religion. The diverse cultural, religious, and traditional concepts about organ donation may hamper its acceptability and cause unwillingness to donate organs. The purpose of this article is to briefly explore the ethical issues involved in organ transplantations and the various religious opinions on organ donation. It is hoped that this knowledge and understanding may benefit both health care providers and patients in a multicultural society like India.

A total of 80 students between the ages of 18 and 24 were included in the study. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to select the participants. The questionnaires were distributed to the participants via a Google Form. SPSS was used to perform the t test and correlation analysis. The results revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in religious fundamentalism between male and female participants, but men had a higher mean score than women. The findings also revealed a link between religious fundamentalism, gender role belief, and ambivalent sexism among young adults.
