Abstract

Noise pollution refers to excessive, unwanted, or disruptive sound in the environment. It can originate from various sources, such as road traffic, air traffic, railways, construction, using loudspeakers, industrial operations, and even household appliances. The purpose of the study was to review noise pollution and its effects on human health in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh. Most of the studies identified that the main source of noise pollution in the city is road traffic noise. The city is at a crossroads with prominent national as well as educational institutions like Rajshahi University, Rajshahi College, Varendra Museum, Bank of Padma River, Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology, Hospital and Diagnostic Centre, BSCIC Industry, and numerous other educational institutions. All studies showed that noise pollution levels higher than the recommended acceptable limits were detected in various areas. Exposure to high levels of noise causes stress on human health, such as auditory, hearing, and nervous system damage, reducing productivity, insomnia, sexual impotency, respiratory, cardio-vascular, neurological, and outing damages, and limiting human life. It is recommended that affected sites develop a practical management approach for reducing noise pollution.

Abstract

Introduction: The relationship between students' tolerance for anger and their daily gaming habits significantly affects their emotional and academic well-being. Excessive gaming can contribute to increased anger issues and negative psychological outcomes, which individual sleep patterns may also influence. This study aims to develop effective strategies for emotional regulation and mental well-being by examining the impact of sleep duration and online gaming on students' ability to manage anger. Method: This cross-sectional research design involved 149 students from various departments at Rajshahi University, selected based on gender and place of residence. The study utilized the Anger Tolerance Scale (ATS). Participants were chosen through convenience sampling, and data were collected using questionnaires. Correlation analysis was performed, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics. The study achieved a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Results: The findings indicated a positive correlation between daily sleep hours and anger tolerance, while daily gaming habits negatively impacted this tolerance. Additionally, less sleep was linked to more time spent playing online games. Conclusions: The study found that students' anger tolerance is closely tied to sleep patterns and gaming habits. Insufficient sleep and excessive gaming hinder effective anger management. These findings highlight the need to evaluate sleep and gaming behaviors to help students manage emotions, offering insights for mental health professionals and educational institutions.

Abstract

Optimism is a factor that evaluates variations in the extent to which individuals expect the future to be mostly fortunate. Additionally, it has a relationship with indicators of enhanced physical and mental health. This study evaluated the optimism levels of male and female teachers in distinct education settings, focusing particular attention on factors including gender, residence, and schooling level. The Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) was utilised in the study as an instrument to evaluate teacher optimism. An equal number of teachers from primary and secondary schools, divided into gender-specific groups of 40, participated in this randomised sample study. Data were obtained using a questionnaire technique. MS Excel and GraphPad 8.0.1 were used to analyse the data. PAST edition 4.13 was utilised for creating the research's statistical figures within the context of the data evaluation process. The investigation's initial results demonstrated several notable patterns. First of all, male teachers were generally more optimistic than female teachers. Secondly, when it came to instructing in rural areas, male educators appeared more optimistic than female educators. Thirdly, male teachers were noticeably more optimistic in the field of their primary schooling. Lastly, there was a greater degree of optimism among male educators in the context of secondary school. This research would be a significant approach to promoting optimism in educational institutions and society by helping human development specialists understand how gender impacts optimism.
