Anxiety and depression are commonly comorbid in older adults and are associated with worse physical and mental health outcomes and poorer response to psychological and pharmacological treatments. However, little research has examined the effectiveness of psychological programs to treat comorbid anxiety and depression in older adults. Sixty-two community dwelling adults aged over 60 years with comorbid anxiety and depression were randomly allocated to group cognitive behavioral therapy or a waitlist condition and were assessed immediately following and three months after treatment. After controlling for cognitive ability at pre-treatment, cognitive behavior therapy resulted in significantly greater reductions, than waitlist, on symptoms of anxiety and depression based on a semi-structured diagnostic interview rated by clinicians unaware of treatment condition. Significant time by treatment interactions were also found for self-report measures of anxiety and depression and these gains were maintained at the three month follow up period. In contrast no significant differences were found between groups on measures of worry and well-being. In conclusion, group cognitive behavioral therapy is efficacious in reducing comorbid anxiety and depression in geriatric populations and gains maintain for at least three months.

Female work participation has shown the existence of gender bias in India. Gender related prejudices have put females in a disadvantageous position in almost all walks of life. Such as, in the allocation of social, economic and their reproductive roles, female are deprived of opportunities for access to education, training, skill development, decision making both at personal and social levels.

Crisis communication is an integral aspect of public relations that can have either positive or negative repercussions based upon the action that an organization responds. The manner in which an organization handles a crisis determines financial implications that may ensue, public perception and reputation of the organization, as well as the overall success or failure of the organization in the future. This article attempts to summarize the strongest evidence that has emerged from crisis communication research study made on National Aluminium Company Limited. A crisis is the ultimate unplanned activity and the ultimate test for managers. In a time of crisis, conventional management practices are inadequate and ways of responding usually insufficient. No country, company or organization is immune to crisis. Being able to effectively respond in the event of a crisis is relevant to an organizations survival. Meticulously planned crisis communication strategies not only enable organizations to recover from the aftermath of a shock wave but also benefit from the analysis of the dangers and draw consequences for future actions. Corporations with efficient crisis communication teams are able to effectively communicate and respond in the event of a crisis. The article provides guidance for crisis communicators by pointing out what researchers have found to be the most effective crisis communication practices that may influence an organization's crisis communication response. What makes this story so compelling is the media aspect of both the crisis itself and the strategy for managing the crisis. Using a case study approach, this paper assesses Nalco's decision to integrate the medium that sparked the crisis into the strategies to manage the situation, and it questions the efficacy of best practices and principles of crisis management. However, crisis management and communication experts' opinions differed on whether Nalco's crisis communication was effective or ineffective. This paper aims to assess Nalco's crisis communication and mainly to point out possible failures through a content analysis of secondary data collected from various sources (newspapers, magazines, annual reports and blogs).

This paper aims to address the issues and challenges which prevail during the preservation of e-resources which are available through online or vendors list. The transition from print to electronic is meant great changes for library system. Users are accessing information in an unimagined ways. With these electronic contents, the orientation of the libraries got changed and users are being enjoyed the speed of delivery of contents. The e-resources are strengthening the libraries in rapidly technological changing environment. Personal observations and experience were used to develop the concept i.e. the preservation of e-resources is really the challenge with libraries in the twenty first century. The inferential observations of this paper is that the perpetual access of the e-resources, journals and books may lead to provide the solution of drastic cut in the allocation of budget. The perpetual access of any type of e-resource leads to become the permanent asset of the concerned library and end users can enjoy the accessibility and stakeholders will also feel strengthen. For under-budgeted-developed libraries, the perpetual access is just like a boon. Every library, stakeholder and information and resource centre has to take the initiative to sign an agreement or license for the perpetual access whether the contents are accessed for time being or at the time of visit of accreditation team. The paper proposes that e-resources are responsible to change the concept of libraries as the electronic contents have been reached at the threshold of the end user. However, to make these electronic resources available and accessible forever, the libraries and information & resource centres will have to do copious efforts and to maintain the proper IT infrastructure. Even, Government of India has to take the responsibility of funding so that more and more e-contents may be preserved for forever.

In this research paper entitled “social dynamics and changing educational systems”an attempt has been made to analyze modern educational systems and its impact on the social structures. Society perceived stagnant in the being system without any change, is considered to be defunct society. Education is the sole determinant of the pace of “social change” the immediate factor. “Industrial Revolution”, brought by “Education” not only carried remarkable changes, but eventuated class stratifications, the “Bourgeoisie” and “Proletarians”. China prudently resorted to embed the education, firmly in the state system, thereby burgeoned swiftly and set herself as an epitome for all the underdeveloped and developing countries. Religious education does prove itself an instrumental part in bringing about changes, Pakistan was an outcome of the religious-cum-political leaders. The partition scheme was maneuvered by the political leaders, but consummated by the religious abbots, when the religion-syndrome was infused into Muslims and Hindus. The data presented in this paper were collected through qualitative anthropological technique. Data were collected in the vicinities of Islamabad.

Rates of depression in college students are at an all time high. Millions of young adults are experiencing symptoms that are making daily routines problematic. These symptoms may include, but are not limited to, drowsiness, loss of appetite, sense of hopelessness, apathy, and irritability. Long periods of suffering through such feelings are non-conducive to dealing with the demands of college life. The causes of depression are as unique as the individual that experiences the disorder. For many students, however, depression can be attributed to stressors such as academic pressure, inadequate social adaptation, inadequate sleep, and the stress of the overall transition to college life. Reports show an inequality of depressive symptoms experienced by male and female students for unknown reasons, but assumptions have been made. Students who suffer from depression risk serious health problems if positive steps are not made to help with their symptoms. It is not uncommon for the traditional student age group to resort to substance abuse and other risky behaviors to escape depressive symptoms. In many cases students experience eating disorders, and others choose suicide. With an increasing demand for positive coping mechanisms, universities have made an effort to offer free psychological services to students on their campuses. Although attempts have been made, students are underutilizing the resources. Students and universities must work together to provide an effective way to reduce depression in college students.
