The dynamics of social life, characterised by crises dominated by the pressure of urgency, in which time is increasingly defined by two characteristics -- immediacy and has led to a growing concern among sociologists to develop a new methodological framework for the analysis and interpretation of individual and collective actions and behaviours in crisis situations. This perspective of a scientific approach brings to the fore the orientation of researchers towards the enhancement of the fundamental dimension of human affective experience, by introducing emotions in the analysis of social actions. This allows for an understanding of how the social actor is determined to act in emergency situations, in the space of interference between emotions and cognitions, as well as the effect of psychological pressure on its emotional balance. The article sets out to present the relationship between social crisis and the crisis of sociology, and to offer a new perspective on research into social reality. This is to be found in a frontier branch of sociology, namely clinical sociology. This discipline employs a specific methodological apparatus anchored in collaborative and clinical epistemologies, which facilitate the identification and understanding of the causes and forms of manifestation of crisis and its psycho-social genesis. Furthermore, it is argued that emotions play an important role in the analysis of social actions in the context of crisis situations. In contrast to classical sociology, clinical sociology is not primarily concerned with the measurement of reality, but rather with the identification of solutions to intra-psychic conflicts caused by the pressure of the social environment. The presentation also emphasizes the innovative and distinctive nature of the socio-clinical approach. This approach is not solely concerned with the generation of knowledge; it also aims to identify new knowledge and optimal solutions. In this regard, the sociologist assumes the role of an intervention actor, situated as closely as possible to the subjects -- individuals, groups, organisations, and institutions. This position facilitates a complex and holistic approach, as well as a double change -- individual and social.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in global health systems, including poor coordination, limited resources and bureaucratic structures. Immediate effects included overcrowded hospitals, delayed treatment for non- COVID conditions and significant burnout among medical staff. Frontline medical employees faced extreme psychological pressure, and essential services like cancer screenings and chronic disease management were limited. The crisis highlighted systemic weaknesses in adaptability. Long-term implications call for rethinking health infrastructure, improving funding models, and integrating psychological support for medical staff. Lessons from the pandemic refer to the development of more alert and inclusive health policies, as strengthening healthcare systems is essential to face future global health pressures. The article talks about immediate effects on health systems during pandemic and lessons to be drawn for possible future sanitary crisis.

For development to occur by the current paradigm, citizens must be actively engaged in all elements of policymaking, decision-making, and service supply. This is true for every phase of the planning process, including the identification of goals, formulation of policies, and their implementation. Public participation in local government is prioritized to enhance efficient administration and provide high-quality services at the neighborhood level. An efficiently managed local government is characterized by active citizen participation and competent leadership that effectively steers the institutions under its jurisdiction toward their primary goal. In its pursuit of establishing itself as the economic center of South Asia, Bangladesh is diligently striving to establish a robust and dynamic municipal government. A new paradigm centered on grassroots democracy is supplanting the traditional mode of public participation in governance via elected officials. The Bangladeshi Constitution and the rules regulating local governments ensure the creation of local governments and the development of numerous projects. To gain a thorough grasp of the dynamics of participation without resorting to direct primary data collection, this study utilizes secondary data to conduct a qualitative investigation into people's involvement in grassroots local government in Bangladesh, specifically in the context of the Union Parishad. This research aims to identify the many avenues via which individuals from underrepresented groups might engage in local government in Bangladesh, namely the Union Parishad (UP). It also seeks to evaluate the extent to which each of these avenues contributes to the empowerment of these groups.
