Impact of Covid-19 on people and Work from Home

This pandemic has affected family life around the world. As a result of lockdown individuals are already experiencing significant revenue and job losses. The ability to ‘Work from Home’ (WFH) can help damp down the impact of the situation, undoubtedly. Overall, the effects of WFH arrangements rely a lot on the job status of parents and presence of dependents (children & elderly), and this current situation is likely to intensify these differences. It does not necessarily mean, however, that the effect of the crisis should inevitably be gender neutral. Working women have been particularly affected. It seems to be very fascinating to work from home, while sitting on a comfortable couch, casually dressed, even sometimes in sleep suits, without stepping out in scorching heat and wasting time in traveling, but this may not be a preferred situation for everybody, especially women. The most significant impact on working women during the crisis will be trying to balance household demands, childcare needs and work demands. The group most likely to be hardest hit then would be lower income families with young children, and single mothers in particular. Generally women are in charge of planning, organizing and recalling of everything that needs to be remembered. The mental stress and load that comes with such work has risen exponentially in present circumstances. Even though many countries are relied on lockdown to control widespread of COVID-19 pandemic, the mental problems such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, suicidal thoughts and other psychological trauma are most common in case of normal individual and extensive in case of people who are psychologically ill. Females are more prone to psychological distress. The main concern is to manage and provide opportunities for regulation of stress caused due to anxiety and lack of peer contact. Another main threat is an increased risk of parents to develop mental illness, women may also suffer from domestic violence and consequently it results child maltreatment. The current scenario may be particularly challenging especially for children and adolescents with special needs or disadvantages, such as disabilities, also if someone has prior trauma experiences, undiagnosed mental health problems, background of migration and low socioeconomic status.

Effect of Protein Diet on Growth and Body Composition of Labeo Rohita Reared in Cemented Tank

Present study considered to observe the influence of varying dietary protein levels (30%, 35% crude protein and control diet) on proximate body composition of rohu (Labeorohita) from Government Fish Hatchery Multan. The experiment conducted for 2 months trail from October to November in 2017. At the start and end of the experiment-,the whole body composition of fish analyzed. Stocking density was 1000 per acre. In the whole, wet body, weight of Labeorohita the mean percentages for water, fat, protein and ash contentswere 76.86, 2.91, 16.89 and 3.33% respectivelyin this study in all treatments. Higher average protein, fat, ash percentage and minimum water percentage observed with increasing the crude protein in artificial fed. The highest percentage of protein (18.48%) and lowest percentage of water (75.46%) was observed in treatment 3 in which fish were fed with 35% crude protein in artificial diet. Percentage of fat and ash observed in treatment 2 was 3.18% and 2.87% respectively. In treatment 1, observed average percentage of water, fat, ash and protein was 78.71%, 1.98%, 3.24% and 16.07% respectively. Maximum water percentage was observed in treatment 1(30% crude protein in diet) and percentage of protein, fat and ash was low. In treatment2 in which fish were fed with 35% crude protein in artificial diet, average percentage of water, fat, ash and protein was 76.41, 3.58, 3.88 and 16.13% respectively. This estimated that with the increase of protein level in diet, fish highly grow in size. Body composition of fish effected with varying protein levels in artificial diet. The information of these parameters helps to select Labeorohitaas major diet because it contains higher protein content and is suitable for human consumption. This processused to find out the nutritional values of this fish through proximate analysis of body constituents of fish and find out the optimum dietary protein level of fish feed at which fish give maximum nutritional value.
