ABSTRACT
The climatic changes mainly effect the farming profession as, India is regarded as an agricultural portion of the globe because many of its regions are perfect for agrarian production; Due to this shift in climate various types of natural disasters are taking place. One such calamity among several disasters is drought. The present paper focuses on the cognitive failures experienced by the farmers suffering with drought. This paper attempts to study the psychological turmoil experienced by the famers which is termed as, Solastalgia. It is a novel concept that has evolved to make environmental distress more meaningful and clearer. Unlike nostalgia — the morose or anxiousness encountered by individuals who get separated from their home — Solastalgia is the havoc caused by changes in the environment, as it affects people while they are attached to their home settings. The results manifested that the grief observed among the farmers due to the change in their environment hits the mental health and psycho- social status of the agriculturalists. The most important indicator for intellectual failures in the pandemic circumstances is constant substance abuse done by the farmers due to the crop failures they have experienced
ABSTRACT
Background: The impact of school closures due to COVID-19 raised widespread concerns about children's health and well-being. We examine the impact on the sexual health needs of learners in the context of COVID-19 related lockdowns in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Methods: In julyNovember 2020 and AugustNovember 2021 we conducted 24 in-depth interviews and 8 group discussions with teachers and learners from 4 schools, community members and key education stakeholders. All interviews were conducted by telephone. We used a thematic analysis approach and Nvivo 12 software to manage the data.Results: Four main themes related to the COVID-19 pandemic emerged from the data: the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of learners in the lead-up to the pandemic; the impact of COVID-19 on learners' SRH and wellbeing; the opportunities schools provided to support sexual well-being of learners during the pandemic; and the role of schools in supporting SRH for learners during the pandemic. Learners and stakeholders reported that the SRH of young people was affected by alcohol misuse, poor SRH knowledge and few pathways to link learners with services. Stakeholders working with schools reported that a lack of access to biomedical interventions (e.g., contraception) increased learner pregnancies. Gender-based violence in learners' households was reported to have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic related to loss of income. School closures disrupted the provision of a safe space to provide SRH and HIV-education through Life Orientation lessons and school nurse talks. This loss of a safe space also left learners vulnerable to sexual and physical violence. However, once schools re-opened, daily COVID-19 screening in schools provided the opportunity to identify and support vulnerable children who had other social needs (food and uniforms). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic may have increased SRH needs and vulnerability of school-going children in a high HIV-burden rural setting. School shutdowns reduced the opportunity for schools to provide a vital safe space and information to enhance SRH for adolescents. Schools play a vital health promotion and social protection role.

O objetivo desta pesquisa visa analisar o efeito do clima motivacional e comportamental criado pelos professores de um projeto de inclusão social (PIS) por meio do esporte sobre a orientação de vida de seus alunos. Para esta análise foi utilizado o TEOSq aplicado em 42 jovens de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária de 10 a 17 anos, que participam dos PIS oferecidos pela Secretaria de Esporte e Lazer de São João de Meriti e sua Vila Olímpica, nas modalidades de dança, futebol, jiu-jítsu e vôlei. Estes 42 foram classificados em dois grupos: iniciantes, até seis meses de prática, e veteranos, acima de seis meses até setenta e dois meses de prática. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que não houve diferença relevante entre as sub-escalas ego-tarefa dos grupos; concluindo que os PIS aparentam não influenciar os indivíduos na construção de valores, como prevenção da adesão a criminalidade a que são expostos.

O objectivo deste trabalho visa a adaptação e validação da Escala Revista de Orientação para a Vida para Crianças e Adolescentes Portugueses. O presente estudo incidiu sobre um total de 3195 participantes do 5º e 7º anos de escolaridade. A análise de componentes principais encontrou dois factores, um ligado ao optimismo e outro que reflecte o pessimismo. Os resultados evidenciados na análise factorial confirmatória revelam um bom ajustamento da escala. Analisou-se a validade discriminante e concorrente com variáveis relacionadas com o constructo, nomeadamente: satisfação com o suporte social, auto-estima e qualidade de vida. O instrumento revela-se adequado na medição da orientação para a vida em populações de crianças e adolescentes, sendo útil no âmbito da psicologia da saúde.
The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Life Orientation Test, reviewed for children and adolescents. This study included a sample of 3195 participants from the 5th and 7th grades. Through Principal Component Analyses we found two dimensions, one related to optimism and another linked to pessimism. Results in the confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit model. Additionally, items discriminating validity and concurrent validity were inspected with measures related to optimism, such as, social support satisfaction, self-worth and quality of life. This instrument seems to be adequate for the measurement of life orientation in children and in teenagers, and may be useful in other contexts, such as health psychology.
