Abstract

Protection of environment has posed not only a major challenge but also a social and moral responsibility in the present society. Environmental threats to any individual's physical&mental health can broadly be divided into "Traditional" hazards, stemming largely from a lack of development, and "modern" hazards, arising essentially from unsustainable patterns of development. Mental health is defined as a "state of wellbeing enabling individuals to realize their abilities, cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and make a contribution to their communities (WHO, Book on Mental Health). The Rio Declaration on Environmental and Development states that human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development, and that they are entitled to a healthy and productive life, in harmony with nature. The goals of sustainable development can only be achieved in the absence of a high prevalence of debilitating disease, while obtaining health gains for the whole population requires poverty eradication. There is an urgent need to address the causes of ill health, including environmental causes, and their impact on development, with particular emphasis on women and children, as well as vulnerable groups of society, such as people with disabilities, elderly persons and indigenous people. In developing countries, like India is facing newer hazards associated with chemical contamination of the environment are significant. In developing countries, health and environmental problems are often related to poverty and arise largely as a result of such factors as rapid, uncontrolled urbanization and agricultural and land-use practices. In addition to hazards related to pollution, vector-borne environmental diseases may be prevalent as well as health and environmental problems associated with a lack of proper shelter, water and sanitation or poor food hygiene. The research paper will therefore, elaborate three area of emerging concern about the

Abstract

Bilateral transfer, we mean practicing an activity with a particular part of the body usually facilitates performance of the same activity with another part of the body. The problem of inter-hemispheric transfer (Bilateral transfer) is more complex. The nature of such interhemispheric problem is not clear as yet. Clinical studies indicated that bilateral transfer of skill is significantly reduced in callosectonized patients and normal controls( Lehman & Lampe,1970). Present study is examined whether bilateral transfer deficits would persist in deaf children at a perceptual level. In order to examine interhemispheric transfer among congenital deaf and normal control group, bilateral transfer of motor skill was assessed with the mirror drawing task. Bilateral transfer is indicator of interhemispheric transfer. Findings of the study revealed that congenital deaf subjects were significantly more inaccurate & committed more errors in the mirror tracing task and had significantly less bilateral transfer of motor skill is found in comparison to control subjects. The present findings allow us to accept a hypothesis of lowered bilateral organization' rather than failure to establish normal pattern of dominance in people with congenital deaf.

Abstract

Emotional Intelligence is a set of qualities and competencies that captures a broad collection of individual skills and dispositions, usually referred to as soft skills or inter and intra-personal skills, that are outside the traditional areas of specific knowledge, general intelligence, and technical or professional skills. Emotions are an intrinsic part of our biological makeup, and every morning they march into the otfice with us and influence our behaviour. Emotional management is the ability to maintain control when situation, people and events make excessive demands. This study will be helpful to know the relation between the emotional intelligence and performance on the employees. This paper is through light on impact of emotional intelligence on performance of employees. Emotional Intelligence (El) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while other claim it is an inborn characteristic. On the basis of the secondary research thoroughly, review of literature is being taken with recent articles. Through this study, it is concluded that emotional intelligence has greater impact on performance of employees. Secondly an emotionally intelligent organization is based on an organizational strategy to improve business performance. The purpose of this study is to identity how the employee dealing in the emotional management at workplace.
