It then discusses stressors, types of stress including episodic, chronic and distress, and a model of stress involving environmental, organizational, personal and individual factors. The document also covers managing stress through individual and organizational approaches, cognitive dissonance theory, personality types A and B, the relationship between stress and job performance, stress research findings, occupations with different stress levels, and includes a bibliography.
The term stress was introduced in medicine in 1949 by Canadian endocrinologist – Hans Selye. To him, stress is described as the body’s adjustment to a new circumstance, and the body’s stereotypical and non-specific response to environmental stimuli that disrupt a personal balance, and described also as a psychosomatic mechanism to regulate and balance the tensions, which means the perception and preparation of the body to the specific loads.
Stress is a real or interpreted threat to the physiological or psycho social and/or behavioral response due to various factor that have to managed so that it may not lead into fatal psychiatric conditions

Stress is inevitable in today’s complex life. Right from the time of birth till death, an individual is regularly exposed to various stressful situations. The threat of political and economic imbalances and uncertainties, unemployment, poverty, urbanization and increased socio- economic complexities and
innumerable other factors contribute to stress. In fact modern times have been called the “age of anxiety and stress” (Coleman, 1976). Stress has been experienced since time immemorial, but its toll is higher than ever before. Stress is growing problem because of increase in working hours, deadlines, conflicting demands and increase accountability. The present paper makes an attempt to discuss stress
and its solution with reference to pertinent literature.

Work place stress preventive and curative measuresIJMER
Stress has been defined in different ways over the years. Originally, it was conceived of as
pressure from the environment, then as strain within the person. The generally accepted definition today
is one of interaction between the situation and the individual. It is the psychological and physical state
that results when the resources of the individual are not sufficient to cope with the demands and
pressures of the situation. Thus, stress is more likely in some situations than others and in some
individuals than others. Stress can undermine the achievement of goals, both for individuals and for
organisations

My employer has several methods for obtaining information from associates to help identify and solve problems, specifically interviews, surveys, and observations. Known as “fireside chats,” our one-on-one interview method randomly selects five different associates each month and provides them with a 45-minute, uninterrupted meeting with the executive director. During this interview, the executive director asks a series of predetermined questions developed to probe for honest and transparent opinions of issues and conditions within the community. Once those questions are discussed, the associate is given the opportunity to share any other items that were not mentioned previously. By randomly selecting a small number of associates each month, the issues developing in the community are shared from a cross-section of the team allowing for differing perspectives on the same concern.
Surveys are conducted annually or bi-annually to collect predetermined data for the purposes of (1) tracking progress on existing concerns and (2) identifying the manifestation of new concerns. The surveys come from the home office to address concerns that affect the entire company. Since there is a significant number of employees for whom English is a second language, the survey is offered in English and Spanish so as many people as possible can provide answers in their native tongue. Unfortunately, because many of employees are of low socio-economic status, distributing the survey electronically has mixed results – many employees do not have easy access to technology while others simply do not know who to use it. To help with this problem, employees are encouraged to complete surveys onsite using company tablets.
Finally, observations allow us “to collect data on actual behavior rather than reports of people’s behavior” (Anderson, 2016, p. 151). We do not use this a primary source of data gathering; rather, informal and formal observations give us the opportunity to confirm reports first-hand. Unofficially and informally, I will often observe goings-on to try identifying potential concerns so we can implement interventions before preemptively.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
