Abstract
The broader object of this study was to explore the impact of psychosocial safety climate (PSC) and organizational social support on the job satisfaction of highly overloaded and sensitive staff of health care sector of public sector hospital. The quantitative cross-sectional survey method is used in the study to achieve the aforementioned objective. Sample of the study comprised of 250 health care professionals from tertiary care hospital, Participants are approached at their respective workplaces and after getting their consent they were asked to fill the survey form in person. It is assured to them that data took from them will only use for research purpose and their identity will remain confidential. Findings of the study revealed that a significant positive correlation exist among psychosocial safety climate, organizational social support and job satisfaction. PSC and organizational social support significantly predict the job satisfaction of health professionals. Moreover, organizational social support significantly moderates the relationship between psychosocial safety climate and job satisfaction. A strong PSC can offer a protective organizational structure that improves interpersonal support and job satisfaction because health professionals often deal with high workloads, emotional strain, and complex patient demands. By increasing motivation, engagement, and retention, strengthening PSC may potentially benefit patient outcomes in addition to the well-being of medical personnel.

Abstract
People having physical disabilities experience extensive health inequities due to structural barriers, discrimination, and exclusion from daily life facilities. The present study attempted to study the adverse effects of discrimination on the psychological wellbeing of individuals with physical disabilities and examined the significant contribution of coping skills and social support as moderators. The sample for the study consisted on 163 individuals having various kinds of physical impairments. Four self-report scales were used to gather the information such as the psychological well-being scale, everyday discrimination scale, the brief coping orientation to problems experienced inventory, and multidimensional scale of perceived social support. Analyses were performed using SPSS and PROCESS macro. Results of linear regression ensured that discrimination has a negative impact on psychological wellbeing. Moderation analyses confirmed that coping strategies and social support significantly moderated the association between discrimination and psychological wellbeing. The findings of study offer a comprehensive framework for social interventions and strengthening support systems that will empower individuals with physical disabilities.

Abstract
In the present times, cognitive demands arise because of the change in the mode of learning material which possess cognitive load to the distance learners. Interactive learning medium may induce cognitive load to the distance learners and many learners find it difficult to achieve learning gains, thus inhibiting sustainable development. This study attempts to contribute to the study of cognitive load focusing on the online and distance learning based on the basic parameters of cognitive load construct. Keeping in view the existing research, quantitative research method was applied to measure the cognitive load. The sample of the study was composed of the distance learners of the university from three courses at the same level and quantitative research method was used for acquiring precision of results. The data was collected through a questionnaire. The results show that distance learners are facing extraneous load in terms of devices more than that of intrinsic and germane load. This study is significant in the ways that it could provide the insight for the development to attain sustainable cognition by suggesting some techniques that are potentially useful for the management of disparate cognitive load of the distance learners.
