This article examines the influence of physical and social environmental stressors on the short-term and long-term health and well-being of 358 enlisted U.S. Navy personnel who wintered-over in Antarctica between 1964 and 1974. Station size and severity of physical environment were significantly inversely associated with symptomatology of the winter-over syndrome. These characteristics of station environments were also significantly inversely associated with subsequent risk of total first hospital admissions relative to a group of 2,396 enlisted Navy men who volunteered for winter-over duty and were evaluated as medically and psychologically qualified for such duty but who were assigned elsewhere. The results suggest that adaptation to extreme social and physical environments may provide long-term health benefits for certain individuals.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between subjective well-being, body image, somatization and to reveal the mediating effect of body image. People become more at peace with their bodies as their subjective well-being increases. In addition, subjective well-being and the goodness of body image reduce somatic symptoms. The questionnaire consisting of body image, subjective well-being and somatization scales delivered to the volunteer participants. Accordingly, an online survey was conducted with 534 participants between March 2020 and June 2020.
SPSS 24.00 package program was used for the analysis of the data obtained from the participants. Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of the scales were calculated in order to perform the reliability analysis of the scales. These values are (0.797), (0.925) and (0.808) for the subjective well-being scale, Body image and somatization scale, respectively, the reliability of the scales was high. Afterwards, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis and mediation effect studies were carried out (p

This book provides a comprehensive explanation of human well-being outcomes by analyzing the role of domestic and international political factors. The well-being outcomes under study are the building blocks of development, and play a crucial developmental role in the lives of citizens, states, and the global community. The project introduces cases from Brazil, Japan, China, and Iraq, and proposes to answer some of the pressing questions that scholars and policy-makers alike have pondered over for years. Why are there large disparities between countries in the quality of life people lead? What factors account for the general well-being of mankind? How do we improve human lives?

Smuggling and human trafficking as components of trans-border trading activities occur across the borders of many nations across the globe. The study investigated the effects of smuggling and human trafficking across borders on students' academic performance in economic concepts in Nigeria. The study is underpinned by the Rational Choice Theory within the positivism paradigm. The study was designed using descriptive survey research. Three hundred and twenty (320) respondents comprising male and female SSII & III students formed the sample through the stratified random sampling method to select the state and local governments and schools used for this study. Two (2) self-developed instruments, a student's questionnaire on trans-border trading activities (SQTTA) with a reliability co-efficient of 0.76 and the Economics Achievement Test (E.A.T.) having a reliability co-efficient of 0.84, respectively, were used to draw information from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed using PPMC and Stepwise Regression analysis to test the research questions raised in the study. The results revealed that the involvement of students in smuggling reasonably used clothes, used tyres, and small firearms are strong predictors of factors affecting students' academic performance. At the same time, human trafficking has little or no significant effect on academic performance, a departure from earlier studies. Therefore, the study recommended that future schools not be near border posts.
