Attention And Perception

The effect of attentional focus on the perception of intensity of physical work was examined. 15 untrained college women were given a set of arithmetic problems of varying difficulty, while simultaneously performing work at different loads on a bicycle ergometer. It was hypothesized that as attention was focused on the mental task, less processing of physical stimuli would occur, and the perception of intensity of work would be reduced with the exception of a heavy-work load condition in which physical stimuli would be too compelling to repress. While it was concluded that attention was manipulated during the physical task, analysis of the data showed no effect on the perception of work.

Heavy Work

It can be said that in the Liberal back bench there are 20 members, or 16.4 per cent of the total doing 36.8 per cent of the committee work. Similarly, 27.1 per cent of the members are doing 52.8 per cent of the committee work. One of the major complaints of government members is the extremely heavy work load which has been aggravated by the recent changes in the rules and procedures of the House. Indeed, if one is listening to the complaints of a member who is in this 27.1 per cent group, his complaints are justified and real. One must conclude that the remaining 53.2 per cent who are responsible for only 25.4 per cent of the committee work must be the victims of work from another source.

A study has been conducted in Haryana to analyze the various constraints faced by animal husbandry officials in implementation of “Integrated Murrah Development Scheme” (IMDS). Data were collected from 40 animal husbandry officials from four districts namely Kurukshetra, Mahendragarh, Bhiwani and Jhajjar. Garett’s ranking technique was used to prioritize the different sets of constraints. “Heavy work-load due to multidimensional activities of the project during peak season” and “Inadequacy of staff in the scheme” were the major administrative constraints in order of severity. Under technical constraints “lack of mass media approach” followed by “No provision for the refresher courses for the programme functionaries” were the most severe. “Inadequate number of staff at field level and large area of operation under a single supervisor” followed by “lack of involvement of NGO and PRIs in enhancing community participation” were important infrastructural and operational constraints. Untimely release of fund by the parent department and misguidance of farmers by the middlemen/ Brokers were the economic and socio-psychological constraints, respectively. Lack of technical expertise in the field of extension, lack of emphasis on educating the dairy farmers were other important miscellaneous constraints faced by animal husbandry officials. Removal of these constraints should receive priority over the considerable focus on the implementation of such scheme.

Two hundred married professional women with small children were surveyed to investigate what types of occupational and role-conflict stresses are associated with physical and depressive symptoms, and whether social support could protect individuals from the negative health effects of stress. Six stress indices predicted physical and depressive symptoms, both concurrently and 1 year later. These stresses reflected perceptions of lack of authority and influence on the job, sex discrimination, a heavy work load, work imposing on relaxation, family imposing on relaxation, and overall suffering from role conflict. Social support yielded no stress-buffering effects.

<p>As the title suggests, the concept of Computer-Supported Collaborative Language Learning (CSCLL) adopts and shares many aspects of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). This article is an attempt to incorporate CSCL in English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, and to examine the potential applicability of CSCL in ESL and EFL classes. The goal of this article is to examine potential effects of CSCL in ESL and EFL. To validate its usefulness, the theoretical framework of CSCL and the effects of collaboration in language learning are introduced. With guidelines for task design, a sample of CSCLL is presented. The specific description of the sample is designed to enhance the ESL and EFL teachers' understanding and to motivate them to use CSCLL in their teaching contexts. Practical tips for classroom implementation will be also included. In addition, potential benefits and limitations are discussed. Among these are increased authenticity, eliciting students' active participation and interaction, flexibility, reduced anxiety and higher motivation, scaffolding and collaboration, learnercenteredness, developing electronic literacy and promoting ownership and personal responsibility by webpublishing. Affordability, practicality and heavy work-load for the teachers can be considered as potential limitations. Finally, pedagogical implications for teachers and researchers are suggested.</p>

This mixed methods research examined the relationship between school climate and early year’s teachers’ professional identity. Using a sample of 220 teachers in 44 schools, the researcher established that early years teachers’ professional identity was weak and school climate had an effect on the teachers’ professional identity. This article’s findings confirmed that among school climate variables safety in school, high teacher-pupil ratio, lack of adequate physical facilities, teachers not involved in decision making, poor working environment, heavy work load and lack of enough teaching-learning materials, as having a negative impact on the teachers professional identity. Lastly, in order to boost EYET (Early Years Education Teachers) professional identity, provision of positive climates in schools was found to be imperative.

Stress arises when the combination of internal and external pressures exceeds the individual’s resources to cope with their situation. For many young adults, college is the best time of life. These critical years can also be undermined by depression, anxiety and stress. Students are very likely to experience some or many stressors which may test their ability to cope: adapting to a new environment, balancing a heavy work load, making new friends, becoming more independent, and dealing with myriad of other issues. Looking from a closer perspective, the college students’ encounters a number of challenges in his day to day life, therefore the whole idea of an existing and vibrant college life is unveiled by these challenges which in turn contribute to stress and if not dealt with can only escalate and hamper their academic performance, emotional and social well-being. The purpose of the study is to find out the level of academic stress among students Of Class +1 having different streams. A sample of 200 students of class +1 studying in school of Ferozepur District of Punjab, India was drawn using random sampling technique. The main focus of this paper to examines the sources and effects of stress on students. The study reveals that the students of class +1 are having moderate level of academic stress and irrespective of sub samples of students are having moderate level of academic stress.

Catecholamine excretion, cardiovascular functions, and subjective effort were studied in 10 healthy male Ss in a control condition and in three experimental sessions in each of which 5 successive 6-min. tests of either 150, 450, or 750 kpm/min., were performed on a bicycle ergometer. Catecholamine-excretion rates remained close to control levels at the lower work loads, while the highest load induced a significant increase in both adrenaline and noradrenaline output. Heart rate, systolic pressure, and subjective effort increased consistently with increasing work load.

Secondary Drop

O2 uptake and CO2 output were determined during exercise on the bicycle ergometer. During moderate and heavy work three phases could be distinguished in the time course of RQ: a) initial increase, b) secondary drop followed by c) a continuous rise to a steady state which was reached after 3 ½12—4 min work. The rise of work RQ (ΔRQ) above an assumed metabolic RQ of 0.75 (or 0.83) showed an approximately logarithmic increase as work load increased. In the same subject there was a straight-line correlation between “nonmetabolic” excess CO2 (= total CO2 minus 0.75 x O2) and the increase of blood lactate level ( P < 0.001). In pooled calculations, a correlation coefficient γ = 0.92 was found. Whereas the respiratory minute volume plotted against O2 uptake or CO2 output showed a relative hyperventilation as the subject approached maximal aerobic capacity, excess CO2 increased with the ventilation in a straight-line fashion. It was concluded that the δRQ represents the percentual participation of anaerobic glycolysis in the total energy expenditure rather than the fuel used during exercise. Submitted on January 26, 1961

Survey Results

The work environment becomes one of the motivations for someone to work. The climate of working environment is very important for a person, especially for medical staffs who actually handle and deal with sick people. Medical officers are required to always be friendly, agile, discipline and polite in front of patients thus the patient feels comfortable and quiet. This study aimed to analysis the relationship between work environment and patients’ safety climate. This study was conducted with questionnaires. Based on the survey results, it was revealed that the hospital environment determines the form of services provided to patients. The working environment has positive relationship to patients’ safety climate. At the hospital, there are latent conditions that may be a risk of accidents that come from heavy work load, management and inadequate supervision, work environment filled with pressure and inadequate communication systems. Work environment contributes greatly because the overall work in providing services to patients requires good teamwork.
