How do natural disasters affect countries worldwide?
My Global Perspective report documents the cataclysmic impacts that natural disasters can pose to humans, the ubiquitous ramifications on the local/global economy, and how it is imperative for governments across the world to devise strategies to mitigate the effects of these catastrophic events. It also shows that the distress and annihilation is phenomenal, whether they are developed nations or poverty stricken, whilst also highlighting the fact that many of these catastrophes are augmented by mismanagement and urbanization. To conclude, the research helped me expand my outlook from the constricted understanding of only the Indian subcontinent to a global scale.

Are health problems leading to Economic loss in various countries?
Yes! Healthcare does result in economic loss. If the health issues are snubbed in their early stages, curbing them is next to impossible. We have seen the onslaught of COVID- 19. Since timely measures weren’t taken throughout the globe, everyone had to undergo a lockdown, thanks to late action. Lockdown is nothing but economic loss from the monetary aspect. Poverty results in ignorance of a disease which results in its meteoric spread. At this level, a locality may visit a doctor resulting in personal economic loss. The disease, if neglected at this stage, may spread in numerous states increasing the need of many hospitals for the government, more equipment and doctors. Furthermore, many people will not visit their workplace leading to more economic loss. Inter-state and international travel will transmit the diseases to many more countries and states. So, more hospitals, doctors and healthcare facilities would have to imported. During the later stage, Tourism, Entertainment and Transportation industry will suffer a huge setback thanks to unprecedented disease spread. The government will have to set up free aid for the poor, the core of the pandemic. At the national and global level, the result is more expenditure than income leading to national and international recession. The need is to reform and strengthen the medical sector and its economic allocation. To convert it from a ‘late bloomer’ to a quick solver of diseases. There is also a requisition to educate the poorer public. So that, we can heal the world- make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race.

Does Meat Consumption Affect the Environment?
One day while I was eating at a restaurant that offers both vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine. When I was leaving, I saw that all the waste meat was being discarded not in a garbage can but was just dumped onto a pile of waste. This inspired me to find out if meat consumption affects the environment. My main aim by researching and writing a report on it is to educate people on the causes, consequences of consumption of meat and what can be done to reduce its effects on the environment. Production of meat has huge environmental effects – increasing greenhouse gas discharges, usage of pastoral land and consumption of huge volumes of freshwater that are required to grow feed crops, provide animals with drinking water and clean filthy factory farms. Meat consumption also escalates the chances of long-lasting diseases along with disturbing biodiversity. Moreover, the emission of methane gas from cattle adds stress to the environment leading to global warming. Research indicates that people living in the USA, Australia and other countries rely strongly on diets containing meat, and not many actions have been taken by their governments to overcome the issue. On the other hand, the government of countries like Israel, encourage their people to follow a vegan diet to reduce the effects of meat consumption on the environment. Nationally and globally, awareness about the outcomes of meat intake on healthiness and ecosystem and the positive impact of a vegan diet can be widely spread through posters and campaigns. After researching this issue, I can now deeply understand the impacts of human dietary choices on the environment, public health, animal extinction and imbalance in ecosystems nationally and globally.

Can an automated vitals kiosk machine deliver quality vital measurement?
Vital signs monitoring is an important first step in the early detection of the clinical conditions of patients in a hospital OPD setting. In all hospitals, the vital measurements are recorded by trained staff nurses in OPD before a doctor consult. A Nurse is a very valuable and scarce resource in a hospital setting and repetitive mechanical tasks like measuring vitals need not be done by a nurse in an OPD and can be automated using a kiosk so that nurses can be redeployed for clinical care. India Health Link (IHL) self-service kiosks can measure parameters like Blood Pressure (BP), Body Mass Composition (BMC), Height, Weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse rate, Oxygen saturation (O2), Body Temperature and a 6 lead ECG – All basic parameters which are required pre doctor consult. If placed and used in a hospital setup, it could potentially reduce the time to doctor for all patients, since they need not wait for vitals reading by a dedicated medical professional. It could also help prioritize which patients may require the immediate attention of the doctor and whether the patient is to be treated in an emergency or can be redirected to OPD. It could also be advantageous if installed in public hospitals making it accessible to a large number of people, thus reducing the time to doctor by highlighting any abnormalities in vitals readings – and making the user aware of the same

Law of maintenance under hindu law
This paper deals with the Maintenance of wife under the Hindu Marriage Act. The concept of maintenance aims at putting the wife back in the same position of comfort and lifestyle as she was at the time when her marriage existed. There is no fixed amount of maintenance that the husband is liable to pay to his wife, and it's upon the discretion of a family court to fix the amount of maintenance that the husband needs to pay either on a monthly basis or in form of a lump sum. Maintenance to wife is a very complicated issue under Hindu Marriage Act. It is often stated as a means to exploit the husband by asking alimony for life. Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (the Act) states that either husband or wife may claim maintenance pendent lite i.e. maintenance till the proceedings are in process. Further, section 25 of the Act states the grounds permanent alimony. Maintenance to wife refers to the payments, which a husband, under certain circumstances is under an obligation to pay. The obligation of payment of maintenance can either during the subsistence of the marriage or after the dissolution of the marriage. The most important aspect of maintenance has no independent source of income to support himself/herself. The quantum of maintenance and the expenses of the proceedings have not been specified in any of the Indian Matrimonial statuses except the Divorce Act.
