social changes in the life of a person. With the advancement of age, the elderly people face several health problems due to biological changes in the body. The present paper review health and social problems of aged people under the changing social system. Results of studies point that the elderly suffers from multiple morbidities, which they often attribute to ageing. The social problems faced by elderly are neglect, discrimination, deprivation and sometime violence by family members; social isolation, loneliness and depression due to changing family structures- joint to nuclear family system, migration of young people to cities for better employment opportunities and lack of interest among new generation regarding family values; and lack of resources and support system for aged people. There is urgent need to make efforts to ensure respectful and healthy life of elderly people by providing emotional support from family and society. Social structure should accounts for the needs of the aged as well as their mental health; family members should spend time with them or keep communicating with them through telephone in case they are living away; family members should respect the elderly people, ask them for advices and discuss with them family history and traditions; spread awareness about human rights of elderly people and expansion of call centres and health services to cater specifically to the needs of aged people .

Increasing burden of worldwide global warming and depleting petroleum reserves have made scientists to focus
more at the usage of fiber like coir, banana, jute, sisal etc. This has contributed to the development of extra attention on the use of material based on natural fibers. It can lessen the reliance on petroleum resources which causes several environmental problems. These types of fibers are sustainable and biodegradable, thereby reducing the environmental carbon footprint. Banana fiber is a natural fibers finds applications in various fields, from agriculture to automotive. It is used in the development of various types of products such as bag, rope, card age, sanitary napkin etc. Thus, environmental friendly material has gained critical significance because of the need to protect our climate.

This paper examined the current status of general secondary school (GSS) science teachers' gender-responsive
pedagogy (GRP) practices. It also assessed the GRP practicing status of the teachers with the function of their sex and teaching experience. To realize this, a convergent parallel mixed-methods design (cross-sectional survey & case study) was employed. The required data were gathered from teachers, department heads, school principals, and students via questionnaire, interview, and focus group discussion (FGD). Data analysis techniques such as one sample and independent t-tests, and one way ANOVA were used to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative data also narrated thematically by taking into account the issues raised in the research questions. By so doing, the findings revealed that science teachers were competent in their classroom organization and interaction, and in tackling sexual harassment. On the contrary, they were ineffective to have gender-fair lesson plans, teaching materials, and they also were weak to treat sexual maturation. In another way, teachers' characteristics such as sex, and teaching experience did not affect their GRP practices.

The purpose of this article was to explore some valuable lessons and experiences that have relevance for the field of education and its professionals. Thus, a critical analysis and reflection is made on some selected issues that were addressed in Thomas Kuhn's book entitled The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Based on these analyses and reflections, the lessons that need to be considered by educators are discussed at length. In this article, we argue that, the book entitled The Structure of Scientific Revolutions has at least four valuable implications for educators. These are; the need to revisit the current challenges of educational research, the need to strive for paradigm shifts in some educational theories and thoughts, the need to revitalize textbook writing, and the need to reconsider the implications of the two terms, i.e., science and scientist in the field of education.
