Suicide is the intentional infliction of death on oneself. It is the leading cause of death on the planet. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15 to 19-year-olds. 79 percent of global suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries. Ingestion of pesticides, hanging, and the use of firearms are among the most common methods of suicide in the world. India's suicide rate increased to 230,314 in 2016. Suicide was the leading cause of mortality in both the 15–29 and 15–39 year age groups. Over 800,000 people die by suicide every year around the world, with 135,000 (17%) of them being Indian citizens, who make up 17.5 percent of the global population. Every year, significantly more people try to commit suicide than actually do so. A past suicide attempt is the single most important risk factor for suicide in the general population. In 2012, Tamil Nadu had the highest suicide rate (12.5%), followed by Maharashtra (11.9%) and West Bengal (10.1%). (11.0 percent). In 2012, Tamil Nadu and Kerala had the highest suicide rates per 100,000 people among states with large populations. Male suicides outnumber female suicides roughly 2:1 in India. Suicides are estimated to number in the millions in India. For example, a study published in The Lancet predicted 187,000 suicides in India in 2010, despite the Indian government's official statistics claiming 134,600 suicides in the same year. According to WHO data, India's age-standardized suicide rate for women is 16.4 per 100,000 (6th highest in the world) and for males is 25.8 per 100,000 (22nd).

Air pollution is a significant health risk factor all over the world. A global study of diseases showed that air pollution is one of the top ten global health risk factors. Approximately 7 million people in the world and 40, 0000 people experience early death due to air pollution. The most common pollutants include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide. The two types of air pollution, indoor and ambient, both contribute to a host of cardiac and respiratory illnesses. General ambient air pollution, chiefly due to the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, may be responsible for increased rates of lung cancer. Exposure to excess levels of air pollution is significantly associated with a variety of acute and chronic respiratory illnesses, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, respiratory allergies, and lung cancer. The effects of air pollution disproportionately impact the extremes of the age distribution, perhaps due to altered immune responses. The presence of one or more contaminants in the atmosphere, such as dust, fumes, gases, gas, ‘fog’, odour or vapour in quantities or with characteristics, and of a duration that may be detrimental to human, animal or plant. Combustion-source air pollution contributes to the occurrence of lung cancer among the general population. By using modern techniques to control pollution Multi-vortex wet air scrubber’s technology, nano technology, recycle reuse techniques is very helpful to control pollution.

The goals of the economics in the financial to highlight some major studies from across all economic fields wherein the grey systems theory could be applied in addition to opening and introduce new fields. Grey systems theory offers a unique type of number, the three-parameter interval grey numbers, a goal making methodology based on these numbers is proposed, with the premise that these numbers. Generally, decision-makers should consider commercial ethics and societal responsibility, as well as environmental management in particular. CEM seems to have a smaller influence on market based measurements than accounting based criteria is a good example. Another possible explanation for the observation is that market and accounting based measurements have various temporal horizons. Market economies are self-regulating systems governed by the laws of production and trade, according to classical economics' core theory. Some critics of management claim that planners place too much focus on ways to boost growth in the economy while neglecting the social consequences. Simple growth objectives have the disadvantage of not measuring the development in negative effects like noise, pollution and environmental degradation; instead, they reflect the costs of mitigating these problems as part of development itself.

A common problem observed in patient safety is the lack of accurate and complete information about medications in regular use during transfers of care between different health facilities. In view of this, medication reconciliation is postulated as a barrier to reducing medication discrepancies and consequently medication errors. This project aims to evaluate the implementation of safe clinical practices conducted by clinical pharmacists. To this end, we will conduct a standardized process to obtain the best possible medication history (BPMH); assessment of the patient's level of understanding of pre-admission therapy; quantification, classification and analysis of discrepancies of unintentional drugs at hospital admission; effect of interventions conducted by clinical pharmacists and impact on patient safety. This prospective, pilot, descriptive, interventional and single-center study will be carried out in the Clinical Pharmacy Department of a large hospital in the state of São Paulo. In order to standardize the process of data collection and reconciliation of prescription drugs, the interview with the patient will be carried out using an adapted and modified form. After collecting information in the structured interview, clinical pharmacists will identify, analyze and classify possible discrepancies. All unintentional discrepancies found without any clinical justification will be considered medication errors. Finally, the degree of impact of each drug discrepancy will be defined as: clinically insignificant; clinically significant; serious and life-threatening.

Plants materials contained some bio-active ingredients which help in treating of so many diseases and also provide vital components for human and animal nutrition. Preliminary phytochemical screening and some nutritional profile of Cnidoscolus aconitofolius leaves were investigated in this study. The dry leaves of Cnidoscolus aconitofolius were subjected to proximate, vitamins and mineral contents analysis. Furthermore, the samples were subjected to soxlet extraction using methanol and water of different polarities for qualitative phytochemical screening. The preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, steroids and absence of tannins respectively. Among the proximate composition carbohydrate was found to be high (65.54%), followed by crude fat (13.33%) and ash (12.08%), while moisture, proteins and crude fibre were 0.67%, 5.55% and 2.83 % respectively. The results showed that the sample contained 18.12mg/100g vitamin A and 15.20mg/100g vitamin C concentrations. The levels of some selected mineral elements of public health important are Potassium 378.62mg/100g, Sodium 82.02mg/100g, Phosphorus 5.73mg/100g, Magnesium 1.72mg/100g, Iron 1.02mg/100g, Calcium 1.02mg/100g, Copper 0.30mg/100g, Zinc 1.14mg/100g and Manganese with 0.08mg/100g respectively. This study revealed that the leaves of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius contained some phytochemicals constituents of medicinal importance.

Over decades, most transactions in Nigeria were largely conducted in cash. However, Central Bank of Nigeria’s cash-less policy introduction aimed at reducing cash-based transactions, decreasing and integrating financially excluded adult into the formal financial sector of the economy has altered financial transaction landscape. Pursuant to this goal of financial inclusion, measures such as agency banking, national financial literacy, mobile payment system were introduced. However, research has somewhat under-explored how agency banking platforms influence financial inclusion among adult rural dwellers that are perceived to be more excluded in formal financial sector. Therefore, this study empirically investigates influence of agency banking on financial inclusion among adult rural dwellers in rural communities. A sample of 320 potential respondents were determined statistically. Self-administered questionnaire designed in Likert-Scale format was used to collect data from respondents. Convenience and judgemental sampling techniques were used to recruit participants who agreed to take part in the study. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling technique was applied in data analysis. Results show that agency banking has positive-significant correlation with saving consciousness and financial literacy; saving consciousness and financial literacy significantly and positively influence financial inclusion. The study discusses the theoretical, policy and managerial implications of the findings while highlighting possible areas for future research.

Background: Tissue flossing bands are a relatively new treatment modality that have increased in popularity in recent years. There is evidence suggesting that tissue flossing could decrease pain and increase joint range of motion, but there is still a need for further studies in this matter. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of a single tissue flossing treatment on the perceived pain and upper extremity function among healthy collegiate baseball pitchers. Methods: Twenty apparently healthy collegiate baseball pitchers (age: 21 ± 2.49) participated in this study. Tissue flossing treatment was performed from the wrist to the elbow on the participant’s throwing arm. Before and after treatment, perceived pain and upper extremity function was evaluated. Results: Following one round of tissue flossing treatment, the participants experienced a 27% decrease in perceived pain from baseline (3.05 ± 1.95 to 2.22 ± 2.04, p < 0.05). Participants did not experience a significant increase in perceived upper extremity function. In addition, participants did not report any complications as a result of the intervention. Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that in healthy collegiate baseball pitchers, tissue flossing bands treatment were capable of decreasing perceived pain.
