How does social media shape student mental health, particularly regarding peer pressure, anxiety, and self-perception, and what resilience-building strategies can mitigate these effects?
(Book Rivers, 2026) Shimaila Rizvi, Adnan Khan Lodi
University students today navigate not only academic stress but also the intense influence of social media. Platforms designed to connect have become arenas where peer pressure, social comparison, and curated self-presentation fuel anxiety, depression, and distorted self perception. This paper synthesizes research on the impact of social media on student mental health, highlighting the roles of peer validation, fear of missing out (FOMO), and the addictive nature of online engagement. Drawing from resilience and coping theory, the paper explores how adaptive strategies like digital mindfulness, self-compassion, and critical media literacy can buffer negative effects. Recommendations include institutional interventions such as digital well-being workshops and social media detox programs. The study underscores that supporting students in building digital resilience is essential for safeguarding mental health in the hyperconnected age.
Spacer Dielectric Engineering for Enhanced Analog/RF Performance in Dual-Metal Double Gate GaAs/Si1-xGex TFETs
(Springer, Cham, 2026) Rohit Tripathi, Vedvrat, Syed Hasan Saeed, Vivek Kumar
The present study provides an investigation DMDG GaAs/Si1 − xGex tunnel field-effect transistor device (TFET) with dielectric spacer based on its ana- log and RF performance metrics. The device performance is assessed for varying spacer dielectric medium (εr = 1, 3.9, 7.5, 9, 25). For precise device modeling and electrostatic control, all simulations are conducted using the 2D TCAD sim- ulation platform. The study reveals that by using the high-k spacers the device parameters i.e., transconductance, cut-off frequency, and gain bandwidth product, substantially increased whereas the threshold voltage decreased. However, use of low-k spacers suppresses the parasitic capacitances but lowers ON-state current (ION). The incorporated spacer modulation indicates that εr = 9 offers an opti- mized device DC and RF characteristic and obtains a higher ION/IOFF ratio. These findings emphasize the significance of dielectric spacer selection as a significant design element for energy-efficient and high-speed nanoelectronic circuits.
The Significance of Mental Health Among College Students in Present Scenario
(Book Rivers, 2026) Sada Warsi, Azkiya Waris
An individual is considered healthy when he or she shows signs of mental sharpness, physical capability, and a sense of social balance. Changes in any aspects of the physical, emotional or social sides of one’s health could be a source of unease or illness. The term disease may also be used to refer to the health problems that arise from the imbalance of the three elements or dimensions of health. Mental health refers to the social and emotional well, being not only of individuals but also of groups of people. It is about looking forward to enjoy life, being able to cope with stress and difficulties, understanding one's strengths, setting and working towards personal goals, and feeling connected to other people and the community. Students need to focus on their mental health, something that has recently risen to the fore. The research highlights the need to protect students’ mental health and gives a detailed analysis of the contribution of society, schools and families in this matter.
Mental Health in Education: Foundation and Challenges
(Book Rivers, 2026) Tasneem Fatimah, E. Ahmad
Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being and plays a vital role in the educational environment. As students and educators face increasing pressures in academic and social domains, the integration of mental health awareness and support within educational systems has become a priority. This paper explores the foundational concepts of mental health in education, including its importance for cognitive development, emotional regulation, and academic performance. It also examines the major challenges faced by educational institutions in implementing effective mental health strategies, such as stigma, lack of resources, insufficient training for educators, and policy limitations. Mental health effects every field of our life and it shows in activity also. Even work of an individual show the mental preparedness and level. By highlighting current practices and proposing holistic and inclusive approaches, this study aims to contribute to the development of mentally healthy learning environments that support both students and faculty.
Reflection of Education on Students’ Mental Health and their Well-Being
(Book Rivers, 2026) Rahat Parveen, E. Ahmad
Education has a big impact on students' mental health and general well-being in addition to imparting academic knowledge. Both positive and negative effects are possible. While extracurricular activities encourage creativity and emotional balance, supportive learning environments cultivate social connections, resilience, self- confidence, and problem-solving abilities. However, anxiety, burnout, and a decline in wellbeing are frequently caused by academic stress, performance pressure, bullying, unhealthy competition, and a lack of mental health assistance.
The dual function of education as a risk factor and a protective factor for mental health is examined in this chapter. It examines the implications of various educational systems, digital learning, and global methods and emphasizes the significance of stakeholders— teachers, parents, institutions, and peers—in fostering beneficial outcomes. To improve student well-being, tactics such incorporating life skills, mindfulness, therapy, and inclusive policies are recommended. In the end, education must change to foster the heart as well as the mind, guaranteeing that every student develops holistically.
