Saúde Mental Frente aos Rompimentos de Barragens e à Covid-19: O Que Revelaram as Vivências Subjetivas de Trabalhadores da Mineração
Esse estudo discutiu a saúde mental dos trabalhadores da mineração de empresas que atuam nos municípios de Mariana, Congonhas e Ouro Preto, localizados no estado brasileiro de Minas Gerais, tendo em vista a sobreposição das consequências socioambientais de três tragédias: o rompimento das barragens de Fundão em Mariana/2015; das barragens da Mina do Córrego do Feijão em Brumadinho/2019 e a pandemia de Covid-19, entre 2020 e 2023. Entrevistas em profundidade foram realizadas com 11 informantes-chave, resultando no material empírico que foi examinado segundo o método Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2016). Mediado pela teoria da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho (Dejours, 2011, 2007, 2005), demonstrou-se que a saúde mental dos mineiros tem sido, preponderantemente, afetada por aspectos relacionados à precarização do trabalho que aparece, intrinsicamente vinculada, à mineriodependência socioeconômica da região estudada e ao medo crônico do desemprego; sendo que as consequências advindas das tragédias socioambientais tiveram papel coadjuvante.

Eleanor Roosevelt: A Study in Shifting Cultural Prisms
Every culture needs heroes and heroines to ensure social cohesion, but portrayals do not remain static. They change as social values tilt from one direction to another. The image of Eleanor Roosevelt in popular culture offers a vibrant illustration. Niece of one United States president, Theodore Roosevelt, and the wife of another, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor, the longest-serving First Lady in U.S. history, ranks as arguably the most important U.S. woman of the twentieth century and one of the world's best-known figures. To the public, Eleanor represents multiple roles - wife, mother, political leader, activist, diplomat, journalist, and media celebrity. She died in 1962 but remains a persona that functions as a prism through which to view attitudes toward women's roles. Her portrayals, including her own self-depiction from her birth in 1884 until her fatal illness, illustrate acceptable perimeters for women at different periods. When hidden details of her life emerged, she became a focal point for arguments over women's conduct.
Man's Attachment to Objects: Mechanisms of the Link Between the Psyche and the Material
Attachment is a crucial aspect of significant and enduring interpersonal relationships. The initial attachment bonds are established between infants and their caregivers, typically parents. However, humans continue to form attachment relationships throughout their lives. This lifelong process means that individuals experience various attachment figures, which can include both people and objects in their environment. Research in psychological sciences, particularly influenced by Bowlby's work, has primarily focused on human-to-human attachment, such as the bond between mother and child. In this study, we aim to demonstrate that, in addition to forming connections with other people, humans also develop attachments to non-human entities, specifically objects.
Decolonial Epistemologies of the Forest: Yanomami Knowledge and the Future of Planetary Thought
This article examines Yanomami knowledge as a decolonial epistemology of the forest and, secondarily, places it in dialogue with Maya mythic memory in order to argue that Indigenous cosmologies should be understood as complex ontological systems rather than residual forms of folklore. Drawing on Enrique Dussel's concept of the mythic-ontological core and the decolonial critiques of Aníbal Quijano, Ramón Grosfoguel, Walter Mignolo and related authors, the text analyzes how myth, symbolism, ritual and historical memory organize Indigenous visions of nature, personhood, illness, aesthetics and territory. The discussion is based on a critical rereading of ethnographic and bibliographic materials on Yanomami ethnobotany, shamanic medicine, edible mushrooms, women's basketry, the fungus përisi, and the political-ecological denunciations formulated by Davi Kopenawa and allied researchers. The article argues that Yanomami thought expresses a sophisticated relational ontology in which forest, body, spirit, community and territory constitute a living totality. From this perspective, the destruction of the forest represents simultaneously ecological devastation, ontological aggression and epistemic violence. The text further argues that the category of planetary thought can be reconfigured from Indigenous perspectives-not as a new universalism, but as a pluriversal horizon grounded in reciprocity, alterity and the defense of life. By foregrounding Yanomami knowledge and placing it in comparative dialogue with Maya historical memory, the article proposes an intercultural and interscientific agenda capable of renewing anthropology, environmental ethics and intercultural education in Latin America.
Transcending Deficit Narratives of Single Life with a Critical Studies Approach: A Case Study
In the emerging field of singlehood studies, a critical studies approach can be an important guide to transcending deficit narratives of single life. I illustrate this by critiquing a recently published research report that focused on the deficiencies of young single people who had not yet had a romantic relationship and the greater well-being of their romantically involved peers. I suggest that single people may be doing less well not because they are personally deficient or deprived of closeness or intimacy, but because they are devalued and disadvantaged and the important people in their lives are too. Drawing from other research, I show that single people have their own valuable experiences, strengths, opportunities, and accomplishments, and that coupled life comes with its own risks and not just rewards. Importantly, a critical studies approach positions single people in systems of inequality that typically advantage romantically coupled people and disadvantage singles; that adds an important structural and sociological perspective to the emerging field of singlehood studies that sometimes focuses disproportionately on individual psychological processes.

The Review of Childhood Obesity as a Result of Advertising Child Oriented Unhealthy Food & Beverages
The rise of childhood obesity is one of the public health concerns in worldwide. It can be said as the sign of crisis because it is harmful to children. Therefore, this report has covered a total of 25 journal articles. Articles reviewed are regarding on the intention of food marketers to formulate a healthier child oriented food, the strategies applied to promote their food such as advergames and product packaging, the volume of food advertisements to children as well as how these strategies have changed the mindset of children. In conclusion, most of the television commercials are unhealthy food by using fantasies and positive atmosphere to attract children's attention. Unhealthy food marketers would tend to design the food packaging with cartoon characters and bright colors as those catches the children's attention more efficiently. Children would even visit the website delivered from television commercials and product packaging which often include advergames for them to play and increase brand recognition. Children's perspective on children food has changed dramatically due to the influence of advertisement delivered by food marketers. Most of the food marketers tend not to produce a healthier food to children. Therefore government in different country should set a rule to limit the unhealthy food advertisements delivered to children since it does play a major role in childhood obesity.

Extent & Impact of Land Degradation and Rehabilitation Strategies: Ethiopian Highlands
Throughout the world today, depletion of natural resources is among the major problems facing human beings. Land degradation, especially in the highlands, has been identified as the most serious environmental problem in Ethiopia. The Hararghae highlands in Eastern Ethiopia, Tigrai, Wollo, and Semen Shoa highlands in the north and the Gamo-Gofa highlands and the Bilate River basin, which starts in eastern slopes of Gurage highlands and stretches through eastern Hadiya and Kembatta highlands are some of the seriously eroded/degraded land surfaces in Ethiopia. The dominant man induced causes of land degradation in Ethiopia are poor farming practices, population pressure, overgrazing, over cultivation, soil erosion, deforestation, salinity and alkalinity problems, and the use of livestock manure and crop residue for fuel as energy resource of the rural households. The recorded annual soil erosion (surface soil movement) in Ethiopia ranges from low of 16 tons/ha/yr to high of 300 tons/ha/yr depending mainly on the slope, land cover, and rainfall intensities. The total estimated annual soil loss (surface soil movement) from the cultivated, range and pasture lands (780,000 km 2 ) in Ethiopia is estimated to range from low of 1.3 to an average of 7.8 billion metric tons per year. Study put the degraded area on the highlands at 27 million ha of which, 14 million hectares is very seriously eroded with 2 million ha of this having reached a point of no return, and the soil depth is so reduced that the land is no longer able to support any vegetative cover.

A Comparative Study on the Perception of Trained & Untrained Higher Secondary Level Teachers towards the Effectivenss of B.Ed. Teacher Education Programme
Introduction-Teachers are the important pillar of education system. It is also believed that teachers shape up a student's life. The role of the teacher in the classroom has been found to be the single most important factor in student learning. The vast majority of teachers strive to teach effectively in order to enhance student learning outcomes, and they draw upon the knowledge and skills acquired throughout their pre-service teacher degree. The 21 st century saw the role of the teacher move from one, who is all-knowing and unquestionable to one, who is continually learning, self-aware and reflective. Further, teachers are now expected to encourage their students to engage in thoughtful reflection, critical thinking and increased self-awareness and responsibility. Every educational system in any identified human society requires highly skilled teaching staffs to raise the standard of education. No educational system can rise above the quality of its teachers. The Report of the Commission on National Education (1959) further adds that "the teacher should be academically well-trained in subjects he/she teaches and have had sound professional training to teach his/her subjects".

Environmental Terrorism and Poverty in the Niger Delta: The Mosquitoes' Character of the Multinational Corporations
There is no gainsaying that the Niger Delta is like a beautiful damsel raped severally with her supposed protector pretending to be defending her while collaborating with the rapists exposing her to more violations. The advent of oil extraction in the region has left it more despoiled than one can imagine. The ungodly and poorly regulated romance of the Multinational Oil Corporations, the Nigerian State and the oilbearing/ producing communities can best be described as dangerous Mosquitoes perching on the very testicle of an old man, and any attempt to kill it spells trouble. Leaving it will equally mean exposing the man to acute malaria. This paper examines the precarious situation of poverty in the Niger Delta induced by the very activities of MNOCs operating without respect to international environmental best practices. Attempts at checking the situation seem to have fallen on deaf ears and in most cases military repression on the part of the government that should protect her citizens whose livelihoods have been bastardized with reckless abandon and impunity. Using the Economic Penetration and Integration Theory, the paper draws a glaring link between environmental terrorism and poverty in the Niger Delta.

Sexual Imageries in Eliot's the Waste land as Plato's Critique of Immoral Art
The paper attempts to make a critical analysis of The Wasteland which justifies Plato's belief about art. Plato's concept of 'mimesis' led to rejection of art and poetry as merely projection of sex, anger and other bodily pleasures which has a harmful effect on the rational disposition of individual. Eliot was not left behind and one step further to plunge into the wild waters of sexuality, revealing a remarkable sexual encounters through imageries which are rarely accounted for curative effect to the crazy world. Indeed, these sexual imageries are presented in most horrible picture which surely intended to spoil and demoralize the minds of the youth.

Existentialism of Manto: Absurdity of Human Condition in "Toba Tek Singh" and "Khaled Mian"
In this article I have attempted to re-read two of Sadat Hasan Manto's short stories "Toba Tek Singh" and "Khaled Mian". Both of these stories are examples of intense identity crisis, alienation, extreme existential angst which haunts the unique personalities of these stories. Manto's stories have been often analysed from a post -partitional perspective but some of these stories indeed exemplify existential features in the manner of the works of Sartre, Camus and other thinkers and writers of the 20th century Europe. The protagonist of these stories, Bishen Singh and Mumtaz respectively depicts an uncompromising struggle of mankind against essentialised interpretations of their world and their attempt to resist it. Manto's selection of unusual characters in these stories stretches the boundaries of existence and questions normative discourses of his sociopolitical environment.

Educational Status and Mothers' Child Rearing Practice as a Predictor of Child Delinquency among Primary School Pupils in Borno State, Nigeria
This study investigated the Educational status of mothers as a predictor of child delinquency among primary school pupils in Borno State, Nigeria. The Educational differences of mothers grouped illiterates, pre-post primary and post-secondary groups and the nature of delinquencies associated with them were determined. The populations of the study were all mothers of delinquent pupils in primary schools in Borno State and their delinquent children. Data were collected from eight hundred mothers of various Educational groups and the teachers of their delinquent children for the study. Stratified and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the sample. Two types of self-made instrument: 55 items questionnaire and 26 items child delinquent rating scale with Alfa reliability index of 0.89 and 0.93 were used to collect data for the study. Data generated were analyzed by the use of descriptive (simple percentage, mean, standard deviation and standard) and step-wise multiple regression statistic. The result indicated that there were differences in the Educational status of mothers of delinquent pupils and the nature of delinquency associated with their children and that Educational status of mothers could be a predictor of a child's delinquent status. The researcher recommends grass root campaign for girl child education and reality counseling for all mothers on how to help their children. Women with higher educational status raise children with fewer delinquents; Mothers should be counseled to improve on their Educational status.

Incorporation of GTM and CLT: An Effective Way to Teach & Learn English in Bangladesh
The two very prominent methodologies are GTM and CLT in the education system in teaching & learning English in Bangladesh. To show the importance of the combination of these two phenomenal methods is the purpose of this paper. In Bangladesh GTM is commonly used for a long time, and at present CLT is also a very famous method. In this paper, the two methods are elaborated clearly in effective teaching and learning of English in Bangladesh. The study focuses on GTM and CLT in respects of achieving four skills, accuracy/fluency, teaching-learning process, handling the students' feelings and emotions, the role of the native language of students, the language skills that are emphasized, and the way of teacher's response to students' errors. Though CLT is the more beneficial method nowadays GTM also has some positive things to offer. Based on the data and findings, this paper has also presented some suggestions for effective teaching and learning of English in Bangladesh.
