Abstract: The present review was an attempt to accumulate the existing knowledge on the psychophysiological response to stress in adolescence. The current study is also focused to explore the effects of regular exercise and emotional intelligence on coping stress in adolescents. Neuro-physiological mechanism involved in exercise induced process of combating stress have been surveyed in addition to the psychophysiological way of emotional intelligence in managing stress in adolescents. The works on gender variation in stress response and coping strategy have also been investigated with the target age group. The available literature suggests constructive neuro-physiological role of exercise on significant reduction in stress among adolescents. Researches indicated that participation in emotional intelligence (EI) development programme and regular exercise training are potentially effective skills in overcoming stress mediated turmoil in adolescents’ personal and community life. The present update strongly recommends the inclusion of regular exercise programme and practice of emotional intelligence skill in main stream school curriculum as compulsory activity for students in adolescence stage for better balanced and healthy life style in future course of time.

Abstract: Introduction: Indian agricultural sector has been undergoing changes since 1950s. The record production of food grains from 50 million tons in 1950 to 241 million tons in 2009-10 is hailed as a breakthrough in Indian agriculture. However, agricultural sector in India is till date significantly dependent on non-mechanized techniques. An agricultural worker has to perform variety of tasks including ploughing, transplanting, threshing which require great physical effort. During the paddy cultivation, agricultural workers are engaged in the work field though out the day in different thermal conditions. Objective: A study has been carried out, in this backdrop, to assess the thermal environmental condition and effect of work and exposure to heat on physiological status in 31 male agricultural workers primarily engaged in transplanting of paddy seedlings tasks in southern area of West Bengal. Results and conclusion: The result of the study has indicated that environmental condition was above the recommended threshold value and the activities are strenuous as indicated from indicators of physiological strain.

Abstract: Socioeconomic status is strongly associated with the cognitive ability and achievement during childhood. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of age and socioeconomic status (SES) on learning ability among 5-10 years school going boys. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 322 school going boys from different districts of West Bengal state, India. The socio-economic status of the participants was evaluated by modified Kuppuswami scale. Learning ability of the participants was evaluated by Ray's auditory verbal learning test (RAVLT). The subjects were divided into lower, middle, upper SES groups. The results revealed that the 5 years old boys recalled significantly lesser words on each of the learning trials and showed significantly lower learning score compared to that of older boys. Age was significantly (P<0.001) and positively correlated with RAVLT performances. The participants belonged to the lower socioeconomic group recalled significantly lesser words on each of the learning trials and possessed significantly small¬er learning score compared to that of middle and upper socioeconomic groups. Correlation analysis demonstrated that socioeconomic status had significant and positive correlation with RAVLT performances. On the contrary, age and socioeconomic status had significant negative correlation with forgetful speed. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that even after controlling for the effect of the age, socioeconomic status had strong significant impact on learning of trials (LOT) and recognition (REC).
