Authors: Pleshko M. S. , Nasonov A. A. , Dymnikova O. V. , Ryabova N. V.
Published: September 2020

Recovery and reconstruction of mine shafts become actually of increasingly higher concern. The all-up safety is an obligatory condition of the recovery and reconstruction projects, and includes the performance estimation of a shaft, industrial safety expertise and safety validation. The current regulations in this sphere are imperfect and deficient. Therefore, an integrated method is proposed, including the three-level analysis of rock mass around a shaft, stress testing in lining, 3D numerical modeling, as well as the analysis and prediction of structural reliability of the shaft. The article presents a case-study on safety evaluation of lining structure in a shaft after 50 years of operation, with regard to a random distribution of deformation characteristics of concrete exposed to nonuniform loading. The main solutions on maintainability of lining are discussed. It is suggested to ensure safety by means of automated integrated monitoring with real-time acquisition, transfer and processing of data on control variables. As soon as the control values reach the preset thresholds, the automated system warns the authorized personnel.

Published: September 2020

The analysis of rock mass deformation around permanent excavations in sylvinite seam at a depth of 1100 m is presented. Surrounding rock mass features occurrence of hard anhydrite-dolomite rocks in the roof and soft carnallite in the floor of underground excavations. The test openings were driven with height of 3.7 m and width of 6.0 m using a cutter- loader. The deformation control used 6 measurement points in the excavations with support by rockbolting in the patterns of 1.0×1.0, 1.5×1.5 and 2.0×2.0 m. Two measurement points were arranged in an unsupported excavation. It is found that the key factors influencing deformation of the perimeter of underground excavations are the rockbolting design and the geological structure of enclosing rock mass. For instance, the reinforcement of roof support decreases values and velocities of deformation both in the roof and sidewalls of excavations. The highest values of velocities of displacements are recorded in the floor. The increased displacements in the floor rocks should be expected when the distance between the excavation perimeter and the nearest interface of seams (layers) in the floor of a tunnel decreases. The presented results can be of use to experts in the fields of geomechanics as well as in design and construction of underground excavations.
Determining elastic properties of sedimentary strata in terms of limestone samples by laser ultrasonics
Authors: Shibaev I. A. , Vinnikov V. A. , Stepanov G. D.
Published: September 2020

Geological engineering often uses geomechanical modeling aimed to enhance efficiency of mining or performance of structures. One of the input parameters for such models are the static elastic moduli of rocks. This article presents the studies into the physical and mechanical properties of rocks-limestone of non-metamorphic diagenesis. The precision measurements of Pand S-waves are carried out to an accuracy of 0.2% by laser ultrasonics. The static moduli of elasticity and the deformation characteristics of rocks are determined in the uniaxial compression tests by the standards of GOST 21153.2-84 and GOST 28985-91, respectively. The correlation dependence is found between the static and dynamic elasticity moduli in limestone samples. The found correlation allows drawing the conclusion that the static modulus of elasticity can be estimated in non-destructive tests, which largely simplifies preliminary diagnostics of samples in case of limited number of test core.
Minerogenesis sequence and processes in weathering mantle of ultrabasitic rocks of the Serov-Mauk ophiolite belt (Northern Urals)
Authors: Ilalova R. K. , Duryagina A. M. , Ageev A. S.
Published: September 2020

The geological structure and mineral composition in weathering mantle of ultrabasitic formations of the Serov-Mauk ophiolite belt are comprehensively studied. Considering complex geological history of the weathering mantle, the studies involved a wide range of precision research methods-optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal tests, Xray microspectral analysis and Raman spectrography. As a result, the minerogenesis sequence was disclosed, and the modern genetic classification of minerals in ultrabasites and weathering mantle was developed. The classification distinguishes between hypogene and supergene minerals in weathering mantle of ultrabasitic rocks of the Serov-Mauk ophiolite belt. Hypogene minerals are divided into four groups-magmagene-relict, oceanic waste minerals, low-grade metamorphogenic-relict and hydrothermal relict minerals. Supergene minerals are grouped into residuum and rocks superimposed in infiltration. Residuum is divided into two groups of diffusion and infiltration minerals. The research findings revel the critical geological processes connected with evolution of ultrabasitic formations and weathering mantle of the Serov-Mauk ophiolite belt. The drawn conclusions prove hydrothermal processes and low-grade metamorphism in the history of rock mass and weathering mantle of the Serov-Mauk ophiolite belt, and can be used for the prognostics and prospecting of nickel ore bodies.
Formation of mine water composition and analysis of treatment methods
Authors: Kulikova A. A. , Sergeeva Yu. A. , Ovchinnikova T. I. , Khabarova E. I.
Published: September 2020

Formation of mine water inflow compositions is discussed, and the methods of mine water treatment are described. Mine water has different chemistry depending on hydrological, geological and geotechnical factors, as well as on depth of mining. Formation of mine water on higher horizons takes place under the influence of oxidation processes, while reduction processes are typical of lower levels. With an increasing depth, hydrocarbonate water changes into carbonate-sulfate and sulfate-hydrocarbonate water. The main pollutants of mine water are identified, the methods of mine water treatment are reviewed, the criteria of application of mine water treatment methods are specified, and the advantages and disadvantages of the methods are described. In terms of the Kirov Mine, the structure of mine water treatment facilities is considered. It is found that equipment included in the process flow chart ensure good removal of various size suspended solids from water and partially remove iron ions (when its oxidation goes to an insoluble form). However, some heavy metals remain in mine water. This fact is proved by the background concentrations observed in the places of mine water discharge in the Inya river. In the Inya water river, some contaminants exceed MAC, namely, total iron, manganese, copper, ion nitrite, etc. The authors describe the treatment methods and equipment used in coal mines in Kuzbass. There is a wide range of mine water treatment methods, but the technologies in application mainly reduce to mechanical purification which enables efficient removal of suspended solids, oil products, bacterial pollution and, partly, iron. In compliance with the requirements to mine water treatment quality, mines should modernize treatment facilities and introduce new advanced technologies, i.e. provide an integrated solution of the mine water treatment problem, and should anticipate usability of treated mine water and dregs.
Risks as a cause of industrial safety inhibition in underground construction
Authors: Kulikova E. Yu. , Vinogradova O. V.
Published: September 2020

Underground construction is always affected by numerous hazards. The risks degrade safety and longevity of underground structures. The risk analysis shows that the main root causes of risk are the errors and ill-coordinated wok of personnel in construction and operation of an underground facility. The major risks in underground construction are described. The modes of industrial supervision over construction quality are presented. The definition of an accident risk is discussed. The majority of accidents falls at the errors of personnel, both managers and executives. Shortage of skills, lack of coordination, violation of labor discipline and deficiency of control lead to disasters in underground constructions. The required organizational arrangements are developed subject to assessment of underground structure conditions. Mitigation of technical risks should base on advance of protection technologies and equipment to ensure collective safety of workers. Furthermore, it is necessary to improve regulatory system, assessment of the industrial environment condition, mine planning and design methods, etc. Organizationally, risk reduction needs creation of social and psychological climate to motivate personnel to work safely and efficiently, including each individual and the whole company.

Published: September 2020

The problem of slow innovative development in the mining industry in Russia has urged the studies into the structure and meaning of the intelligent and innovative potential of mining engineers. The review of literature and terminology on the notion of intelligence together with understanding and generalization of the collected knowledge revealed the functions and contents of the intellectual and innovative activities of a human being. The studies into the essence of the human intellect components made it possible to develop a functional hierarchy model of brainwork. The role and behavior of each component of intellect in the process of generation and implementation of engineering innovations are examined. The structure, forms and results of activity done by the cognitive components of intellect are determined. The definition of the conception of «innovation» is presented. Numerous definitions of the notion of «innovation» are reviewed, and their specifics and versions for mines are determined. The notion of «innovation» is defined for the mining industry as a result of introduction or improvement of tangible or intangible assets for implementation and producing beneficial effects in a mine. The essence of the scientific concept of «potential» is described as a set of methods, capabilities, reserves, sources and resources activatable and applicable in problem solving. Three levels and forms of appearance of a potential representative of its dynamics in time are described. The onthological background of advance as a transition from potential to real is shown. The essence of the intelligent and innovative potential of a mining engineer is defined as a degree of revealing intelligent and creative abilities of the mental power for organizational and technological innovations in combination with energy and will towards their efficient practical application in subsoil management. The in-depth insight into the concept content opens the door toward its next-level studying, modeling, assessment and selective evolution.
The effects of dolomite-gypsum bonded interfaces on acoustic properties and damage of rock under cyclic bending loads
Authors: Voznesenskii A. S. , Krasilov M. N. , Kutkin Ya. O. , Tyutcheva A. O.
Published: September 2020

The change in the elastic wave velocities C p, C s1, C s2 and the acoustic quality factor Q of rock beams under cyclic bending loading are considered in the article. The specimen contained bonded dolomite-gypsum boundaries of complex structure. The number of loading cycles and damage parameter w were registered.The experiments were carried out on rock specimens from the Novomoskovsk gypsum field (Tula region, Russia) with bending by a three-point scheme. The upper part of the sample was mainly a layer of dolomite, which had higher strength, lower acoustic loss and higher acoustic quality factor compared to gypsum (which was located mainly in the lower part of the sample). The interface between dolomite and gypsum had a complex spotty texture with the alternation of both minerals. The experiment was carried out in a series of 100 load/unload cycles. The velocities of the longitudinal and transverse elastic waves (along and across the direction of loading), as well as the acoustic Q factor, were measured before and between cycles. The maximum load of the cycle in each subsequent series was increased in comparison with the previous series to find the mode of low cycle fatigue. The elastic wave velocities decreased and the acoustic Q factor increased with an increase in the number of fatigue cycles. Just before destruction, the Q factor showed a sharp decrease associated with the destruction of the matrix. Modeling by the finite element method confirmed the hypothesis that an increase in the quality factor is associated with a weakening of contacts at the boundaries between highquality dolomite and low-quality gypsum. The damage parameter w was estimated as the ratio of the total number of AE event count from the beginning of the experiment to the total number of AE event count at destruction. The accuracy of the regression dependencies of the damage parameter w by the acoustic properties is determined for various amounts.
Prospects for studies into transversal waves in salt rock mines
Authors: Sanfirov I. A. , Babkin A. I. , Yaroslavtsev A. G.
Published: September 2020

The article discusses a disputable method proposed by some researchers (Zhukov, Prigara, 2019) for underground seismics with seismic images of transversal waves reflected from opposite sides. The conclusions on the behavior of the transversal waves in excitation of oscillations in underground excavations contradict to the numerous research findings obtained by different scientists in different seismic conditions. The reason for such contradictions lies in the erroneous idea of uniformity of rock mass enclosing underground openings. This idea neglects the actual conditions of excitation and recording of elastic waves, the great influence of the openings and the altered adjacent rock mass, as well as the velocity thin-layering. The validity of the method suggested for separation of oppositely directed wave fields recorded in the uniform space-and-time domain of a seismogram is evaluated. Artificiality of the wave fields in the upper and lower half-spaces due to admixture of ghost signals discordant to the geoseismic profile is demonstrated. Finally, the structure of the seismic cross-sections obtained by the suggested method contradicts both objective estimates of resolving power and the common geological understanding of the tectonic structure of a mineral deposit.
Kaiser effect performance in anthracite as an indicator of the rock resistance to cryo-thermal treatment
Authors: Shkuratnik V. L. , Nikolenko P. V. , Anufrenkova P. S.
Published: September 2020

The article presents the experimental studies into the stress memory in acoustic emission (Kaiser effect) in anthracite samples subjected to different number of freeze-thaw cycles. All in all, 6 groups of relatively uniform samples were tested; one group (0) was a reference set unexposed to cryo-thermal effects; the number of a group conformed with the number of treatment cycles. After the cryo-thermal action, all samples were subjected by two cycles of mechanical loading up to maximum stresses of 10 and 14 MPa, respectively. During a loading cycle, acoustic emission activity of a sample was measured, and the Kaiser effect in the second cycle of loading was assessed by two characteristics. These characteristics were the factor of retention FR of the stress memory, or the ratio of the stress of emission initiation in the second cycle to the maximal stress of the first cycle, and the index Δ, or the ratio of the averaged acoustic emission activities before and after the moment of the Kaiser effect. The values of FR and Δ are obtained and analyzed as functions of the number of anthracite freeze-thaw cycles. The value of FR drops but Δ grows with increasing cryogenic disintegration of coal. The maximal change in FR and Δ, and, accordingly, the highest dynamics of damage in anthracite takes place in the first cycles of cryo-thermal treatment.
Using pillar-free mining technologies in gently dipping and self-ignitable coal seams
Authors: Golubev D. D.
Published: September 2020

Gently dipping coal seams of the Kuznetsk Coal Basin are cut exclusively by longwalls with preliminary drivage of twin gate ways. At the same time, the source of self-ignition in mines is pillars of coal left in mined-out areas. Endogenous fire hazard grows with higher losses of loose coal in mined-out areas due to a persistent increase in mining depth and in size of longwalls. This research aims at development of an alternative mining technology for gently dipping coal seams to reduce the risk of initiation of self-ignition sources in mined-out areas and at the determination of parameters of the technology elements as functions of coal seam thickness and mining depth. A new concept of preparatory works and actual mining in selfignitable coal seams is described. The study results obtained with numerical modeling of the stress-state behavior of rock mass and the developed technology elements at different stages of longwalling are presented. The studies show that endogenous fire hazard is reduced by means of extraction of coal pillar on the same line with face and due to elimination of aerological connection between the operating longwall and earlier mined-out area owing to construction of a separation belt made of solidifying materials between them. The cross-effect of the widths of the solidifying material belt and coal pillar as the elements of the developed technology is estimated.
Analysis of one-stage and two-stage crushing of shale in jaw crusher ShchD 10M for manufacture of terrazzo tiles
Authors: Bochkov V. S. , Dyagilev S. D.
Published: September 2020

The article presents the experimental research data on oneand two-stage crushing of shale from the Rezh open pit mine in the Ural Region in jaw crusher ShchD 10M with a complex-moving jaw. Shale is a metamorphic rock of low rank, composed mainly of dark-color minerals and quartz or dark-color minerals and feldspar (except for amphiboles). Crushed shale is widely used in construction for coating of building sides, in production of roofing and in manufacture of tiles. For this reason, it is important for the theory and practice to determine rational parameters of shale crushing. The implemented studies into shale crushing show that as against the one-stage process, the two-stage crushing yields much more fines and reduces the yield of coarse (uncrushed) particles. The one-stage crushing offers acceptable coarseness of particles, as well as simplifies the process and allows less number of crushers to be involved. The productivity and time of crushing, as well as weight of shale samples are determined. Using testing screen A 20, size distribution of crushed shale was carried out, and the bar charts of the size distribution were constructed. Advantages and disadvantages of one-and two-stage crushing in a jaw crusher are described.
Comparative assessment of rubber steel cables for vertical mine hoists
Authors: Perekutnev V. E. , Zotov V. V.
Published: September 2020

Operation of inhaul rubber steel cables in vertical mine hoisting is discussed. The research in the field of mine hoisting is reviewed, and the further R&D directions are identified. Some studies concern life extension of hoisting ropes. One of the promising trends seems to be application of belt pullers as inhaul cables, which can essentially enhance mine hoist efficiency. In the meanwhile, capabilities of rubber steel cables suffer from deficient attention. The performance capabilities of rubber steel cables of top manufacturers (Promkanat and SAG) are compared, and application ranges in vertical mine hoisting are determined for such cables. It is found that the Polish manufacturer’s rubber steel cables offer a wider range of application. The analysis shows that rubber steel cables can be used as inhaul cables of vertical mine hoisters. Rubber steel cables possess suitable characteristics and are capable to elevate considerable loads to various hoisting heights. In particular, the existing rubber steel cables ensure carrying capacity of hoists up to 20-25 t at the hoisting heights to 400-500 m and sometimes can elevate skips with tonnage of 10 t to a height up to 1000 m and more. The further feasibility study of operation of inhaul steel rubber cables in hoisting units should address motion stability of a puller on a driving drum, load distribution in ropes of base of rubber steel cables, validation of hoister design, adjustability of rubber steel cable length during its operation, etc.
Mathematical model of piston-tool interaction in rock fracture by impact
Authors: Zhabin A. B. , Lavit I. M. , Polyakov A. V. , Kerimov Z. E.
Published: September 2020

The authors justify a computation model of a machine percussion system simulated by elastic cylindrical rods subjected to maximal axial load at minimal strain. Rock mass is assumed as a perfectly solid block. The piston and tool are described by the values of length, cross-section area, density and Young’s modulus. The model determines the force applied by the tool on the rock as function of time. It is assumed that transverse displacements and velocities of the rods are negligeable as compared with the axial displacements and velocities, while the rods are free from the action of the external forces different from the restraining forces. The variational equation expresses the principle of possible displacements. The variations are independent of time. The initial and boundary conditions are considered. The variational equation is solved using the method of straight lines, with replacement of a time differentiation operator by the finite difference operator. The problem reduces to the successive solving of boundary value problems with variable right-hand sides. The finite difference scheme is the approved implicit scheme of Crank-Nicolson. The boundary value problems are solved using the finite element method at each step of integrating. As a result, the variational equation transforms into a system of linear algebraic equations, and the reduced solution of this system yields the wanted force. The calculations are illustrated by the tool press force-time curve plotted with a step of 0.1 µs for hydropercussion machine G100 by Rammer, Finland. The relative calculation error of the impact duration and maximal force (in absolute magnitude) is not higher than 0.1%.

B. F. Skinner’s entire system is based on operant conditioning.  The organism is in the process of “operating” on the environment, which in ordinary terms means it is bouncing around its world, doing what it does.  During this “operating,” the organism encounters a special kind of stimulus, called a reinforcing stimulus, or simply a reinforcer.  This special stimulus has the effect of increasing the operant — that is, the behavior occurring just before the reinforcer.  This is operant conditioning:  “the behavior is followed by a consequence, and the nature of the consequence modifies the organisms tendency to repeat the behavior in the future.”

Published: September 2020

This paper outlines a framework for developing peace education agenda in high schools and college and university level. Historical peace education programs are reviewed and included into a comprehensive program of substantive, peace education content and pedagogy. The historical programs reviewed include the Integral Model of Peace Education, Learning to stop War, and Master of Arts Program in Peace Education at our school, college & University level for Peace education. Peace is simply having a feeling of security, calm and restfulness. We often tend to think of peace as being an international issue, far from our daily life, but we do not realize that global peace can only be achieved if each country is established at peace. The peace and happiness of each country can only be achieved if every citizen is at peace. This follows therefore that a country can be peaceful and progress if people live tolerantly. We all want peace of mind. The need of the hour is to develop the young generation with peace consciousness and the importance of conflict resolution. Neither our society nor our educational system has any scope for highlighting the importance of peace and conflict resolution. In every walk of life our attention is focused on violence, confrontation, competition, self-interest and the need to win. The history of wars is no longer than peace. It took the impact of two world wars and the Hiroshima bomb disaster for human kind to begin to perceive the concept of peace as the primary goal. Our School, college and university teacher can spread massage about the peace in the society through our studying generation. The whole reliant of peace of our nation on the student, simply they can learn and establish in society peace. Here teacher’s role is very important to teach student what peace education is and how to maintain in society peace so that, every citizen can be avoid any kind of conflict from neighbor to neighbor country.

Emotion is a state of special readiness for emergency action. It involves a changes in the activity of the organs a circulation digestion and so on. It also involves a change in mental activity and often a change in voluntary activity. Emotion has many values in our lives. It gives us extra power in physical emergencies. It provides a drive, a forcing in to action that is often very worthwhile. Emotion gives quality and color to our living moreover, mild present emotion seems to be good for us physically. Emotions, when strong, tend to disrupt our thinking. What is more, they are often a poor guide to action.  We are apt to do something we shouldn’t if we follow our emotions blindly. Emotions can make us slaves to other people. An unscrupulous person can rouse our emotions, connect the action and if we want with those emotions and we will do what we want rather than what our own good judgment night tell us to do.

Thousands of candles can be light from a single candle, and the life of candle will not be reduced. Happiness never decreases by being sharing. One of the most satisfying aspects of teaching at the college or university level may be found in the mentoring connection that faculty members can develop with their students. A good mentoring connection can be what is sometimes called a “peak experience” for both mentor and student. A sharing of something unique that no one else may experience in quite the same way. The student experiences an acceptance of ideas and contributions that may be unequalled in previous life experience.
Although there has been a strong move forward to get educational technology into the hands of teachers and students, many barriers to implementation still exist.
The integration of technology into the curriculum will not succeed without giving teachers sufficient time to practice, explore, conceptualize, and collaborate.
Professional development activities may not provide ongoing, hands-on training for teachers or practical strategies for implementing technology into lesson plans. Initial technology funding may not be sustained and thus not capable of providing upgrades, maintenance, and ongoing professional development. Fortunately, these obstacles can be addressed and overcome. This Critical Issue provides practical information for promoting technology use in schools, college, and university.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection / Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). During the initial infection, a person may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. This is typically followed by a prolonged period without symptoms. As the illness progresses, it interferes more and more with the immune system, making the person much more likely to get infections, including opportunistic infections and tumors that do not usually affect people who have working immune systems. HIV is transmitted primarily via unprotected sexual intercourse (including anal and even oral sex), contaminated blood transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears, do not transmit HIV. Prevention of HIV infection, primarily through safe sex and needle-exchange programs, is a key strategy to control the spread of the disease. There is no cure or vaccine; however, antiretroviral treatment can slow the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. While antiretroviral treatment reduces the risk of death and complications from the disease, these medications are expensive and may be associated with side effects.

Academic Achievement of College Students and Their Locus of Control
Authors: Ruhanshi Mathur
Published: September 2020

The main aim of the study was to find out whether the locus of control of the individuals, of college going age, has any effect on their academic performances or not. The objective was to conduct a comparative study of the academic achievement and locus of control of college students. The researcher tried to gather a fair response from the total of 60 subjects between the age group of 18-21. The subjects were chosen randomly within the Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University. This study did not include effect of gender on the responses, as the locus of control is more of a cognitive drive which is independent from the gender specific ideology of the subjects. The research instruments used were Locus of control inventory (which reflects the way in which students feel about what happens in their academic institutions) and Life experience inventory (which reflects the experiences of life). The subjects were made to fill both the questionnaires and then the items were scored and results were analyzed. The scores were given to the subjects’ response based on the norms provided. Thereby each questionnaire response was scored and subjects were divided into two groups, namely, High on Internality (I) and Low on Internality (E). Further to this, the subjects were made to supply their overall academic performance grade, which was further analysed for each of the two groups. The two groups showed a clear indication that the group with high internality had a better Mean of their overall performance grade,7.40, whereas the latter showed a weak overall performance grade of 5.93. Also, the two groups showed a well correlation of the type of locus of control as per the locus of control inventory and life experience inventory (0.97), depicting a true locus of control that the subjects follow as per their experiences of life and the way they perceive about their academia in the college. The Mean and Standard deviation of the scores of the two groups were 30,19 and 5,6 respectively. Whereas the Life experience inventory showed a Mean of 17 and 10.
Recommendations: Increase the sample size as that proved to be a limitation to this study. Further more tests could prove a better result for a larger sample size.
A study across ages and socio-economic group is also possible and might give different results.
Yoga in Relation to its Psychophysical Impact
Authors: Dr. Shailesh Raval
Published: September 2020

Yoga is widely practiced as a means to promote physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. While a number of studies have documented the efficacy of yoga for functioning in healthy individuals and those experiencing illness or pain, bio-psychosocial effects have not been detailed. We propose an analogue between the physical, psychological and spiritual effects of practice as support in yoga traditions, and the bio-psychosocial model of health.

Stress and Sexual Dysfunction among Call Center Employees
Authors: Dr. V.D. Kasture
Published: September 2020

The call center community often defines itself as an industry, with numerous national and international call centers. But there has some dispute among researchers as to whether it is appropriate to refer such thing as the ‘call center industry’. Bain and Taylor (1999) argue that it is more appropriate to use the term ‘sector’ as call centers are found across a wide range of industries and may be similar primarily in terms of their core technologies. Belt, Richardson and Websler (2000) agreed that call centers are not an ‘industry’ as the term generally defined, but rather represent certain ways of delivering various services using the telephone and computer technologies across traditional industry boundaries.

This research results revealed that female employees from international call centers show high stress score and high sexual dysfunction than domestic call center employees, which means the female employees from international call center differed significantly (t=5.26, p=<0.01) than domestic call center female employees.

Results obtained from t test showed that female employees from domestic and international call center differed significantly with one another on stress scores and sexual dysfunction. The reason is that international call center employees have more work stress as compare to that with domestic one. This due to heavy work load, not enough time for social interaction and completion of work within a given period of time. The work culture is more strict and systematic as compared to domestic one. International studies in the past have linked stress t sexual dysfunction and infertility among women.

The overall results of the present study suggest the need for stress management programs for reducing the stress and developing positive thinking among young female employees working in call centers.
