The present study aim to determine the effectiveness of E-Teaching and learning during lockdown among selected school students. A descriptive research design was conducted among100 school students. A non-probability convenient sampling was used to select the sample. Self-administered structured questionnaires were used to collect demographic variable and associate E-teaching and learning. The study result shows, statistically significant association with effect of E-Teaching and Learning among school students at p<0.01.Thereby, this indicates that the moderate level of learning in E-Teaching and learning.

Elderly people often suffer from depression and it is highlighted as one of the most common and significant psychiatric problems. Among the factors linked to depression, the following stand out: being female, advanced age, low levels of education and living alone. In addition to the socio-demographic characteristics, which are well established in the literature, other factors are associated with depression, such as: smoking, co-morbidities (cardiovascular, endocrine, neurological, oncological diseases), high levels of medicine use, functional incapacity, negative perception of own health, low levels of physical activity, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, and a predominance of negative exchanges in relationships with family and friends. These factors, especially those that can be modified, need to be further explored, taking into account cultural differences between countries and regional differences within those countries, as in Brazil. Objectives To assess the risk factors of depression in elderly. To associate the risk factors in elderly socio demographic variables. Methodology A quantitative researchdesign with purposive sampling technique was adopted to conduct a study to assess the risk factors of depression in elderly. Data was gathered by using multiple choice questionnaires. Confidentiality was maintained throughout the procedure collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. ResultIn risk factors of depression in elderly the most of them 9(30.0%) had average risk factors of depression in elderly and 17(57.0%) had good risk factors of depression in elderly among urban elderly and 4(13.0%) risk factors of depression in elderly..The demographic variable had not shown statistically significant association of level the risk factors of depression with their selected demographic variables. ConclusionThe studies concluded that the demographic variable had not shown statistically significant association of level the risk factors of depression with their selected demographic variables.

Adolescence is a fluctuating period where in there is total confusion regarding everything that is supposed to be performed. The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of awareness program and knowledge of substance abuse among adolescent boys. Adolescence is a fluctuating period wherein they love to do things as they wish and something that gives them a thrill without reasoning and hence they need to be guided. Determine the knowledge and find the effectiveness of an awareness program on substance abuse and its consequences among the adolescent boys. Find the association between the post test knowledge scores and the selected variables like age, gender, type of family, place of residence, living with, monthly income of parents, education of parents, religion, family history of substance abuse and socio-economic status. A per-test post-test design was used. 60 students from higher secondary school students was selected by the pretest level of knowledge, shows that in the pretest, 28(46.6%) had poor knowledge, 24(40%) had average knowledge, and 8 (13.3%) had good knowledge. In posttest knowledge, 32(53.3%) had average knowledge and 28 (46.6%) had good knowledge regarding substance abuse and its consequences among adolescent boys. the pretest mean score of knowledge among adolescent boys was 4.31 with standard deviation 1.61 and the post test mean score was 3.24 with standard deviation 0.93. The calculated paired 't' test value of t=9.9371 was found to be statistically highly significant at p< 0.001 level. This clearly infers there is significant improvement in the post test level of knowledge regarding substance abuse and its consequences among adolescent boys. The study indicates that the awareness program helps students to gain knowledge and helps in enlightening their future.
