Abstract

In recent years, we have seen a rise in stress across all spheres of life, particularly in the work place. It is not surprising that we are seeing work place stress emerging as a major cause of physical and mental health problems. Stress is an individual's physical and mental reaction to environmental demands/pressures. Stress, in general and occupational stress, in particular is a fact of modern day life that seems to have been on the increase. Occupational (job, work, workplace) stress has become one of the most serious health issues in modern world (Lu.et.al,2003) as it occurs in any job and is even more present than decades ago. Occupational stress, in particular, is the inability to cope with the pressures in a job (Rees, 1997) because of poor fit between someone's abilities to his/her requirements and conditions. This investigation is an attempt to study the occupational stress in some of the demographic variables. A sample of 100primary school teachers was selected and The Occupational Stress Index (OSI) by A.K.Shrivastva was used for collecting data. The response rate was 80%. Data was analyzed by using statistical techniques like mean, SD and t-value. It was found that the teachers have moderate level of occupational stress. Male and female teachers did not differ in their levels of occupational stress. The teachers working in Govt. and Private schools were not found to differ in their level of occupational stress.

This investigation is an attempt to study the mental health in relation to demographic variables. A sample of 100 teachers was taken and Mental Health Battery by Singh and Sengupta was used for data collection. The response rate was 80%. Data was analyzed by using mean, SD and t-value.

Abstract

This paper attempts to investigate the long run and short run relationship between nuclear energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission in India within energy consumption growth-environment deterioration framework, over the period of 1969-2014 using a multivariate model wherein coal consumption, oil consumption and trade openness are also included as additional variables. The empirical results indicate that there is a long run relationship among the competing variables. We find that nuclear energy consumption indeed reduces CO₂ emission in both short run and long run in India. On the other hand, non-renewable energy sources (oil and coal) increase CO₂ emission in both long run and short run. Based on these findings, it is suggested that government should shift from nonrenewable energy sources to nuclear energy to attain faster, inclusive and sustained economic growth.

Abstract

At present BRICS encompass 40 percent of the world's population and account for nearly 30 percent of total global GDP in terms of PPP (Purchasing Power Parity).Further, with the total foreign exchange reserves of member countries estimated at US$ 4.3 trillion, BRICS accounts for approximately 40 percent of global reserves. China has the largest share (17.08 percent) in world's GDP and is the first largest growing economy in the world, whereas India's share in world GDP is 7.01 percent and is secured second fastest growing economy in the world. Each of the BRICS countries has multiple and different attributes and thus each has a huge potential to develop. This is the reason that the balance of global economic power is now shifting from United States and Europe to a number of fast growing and large developing countries. This paper is an attempt to study the economic health of BRICS after economic crisis. The study suggests that BRICS economies should improve their business environment to attract FDI and also focus on manufacturing sector and skill development to reduce unemployment.
