Study to assess the effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme (PTP) on knowledge regarding occurrence and management of Swine Flu among the urban community of age group 15-55 Years of Boileauganj, Shimla in the year 2015.

Swine flu is an infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by the swine influenza virus (H1N1, H3N2, and H3N1) causing millions of deaths across the world. People show symptoms of high-grade fever, aching muscles, decreased thirst, anorexia, rapid breathing, sore throat, dry cough. It may manifest mild illness or in some people it may result in life-threatening conditions like pneumonia, acute bronchitis, worsening of chronic conditions, respiratory failure, and death. The severity of effects depends on individual factors such as the specific strain of the swine flu, age, general health status, and presence of co-existing conditions such as cancer or diabetes. The five most affected nations were the United States, Russia, Turkey, China, and India. The first swine flu virus in India was reported in May 2009. The effect of pandemics can be lessened if the preparation is made ahead of time. Swine flu can be prevented by vaccination, the use of masks and gloves while handling infected pigs, vaccination, and quarantining of infected pigs. The main aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the Planned Teaching Programme on the knowledge regarding occurrence and management of Swine Flu among the urban community of age group 15-55 years of Boileauganj, Shimla in the year 2015. Evaluative approach was adopted using the descriptive design. The sample size was 30 people of Urban people of Boileauganj, Shimla. They were selected using a convenience sampling method. Ethical approval was taken from the concerned departments. The structured tool consisting of socio-demographic variables and knowledge questionnaire was prepared with extensive search from various sources and validated by various experts. After conducting the pre-test, Planned Teaching Programme was administered to the participants. Then post-test was conducted using the same questionnaire. Statistical analysis of the acquired data was done by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Result: The results of the present study reveal that in the pre-test people having correct answers were 50.40% and incorrect answers were 49.60%. After administering the planned teaching program, the people with correct answers were 74.60% and the incorrect ones were 24.40%. The study findings showed that the mean post-test knowledge score was higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score. Hence, it can be concluded that the planned teaching program was effective in improving the knowledge of the urban community of Boileauganj.

Lemon peel extract as a reducing agent of Graphene Oxide

In this work, Graphene Oxide (GO) was synthesized by treating graphite powder with KMnO4 and a mixture of concentrated H2SO4 and H3 PO4. The experiment is carried out at room temperature without NaNO3.The effects of reaction parameters such as reaction time, reaction temperature, and amount of KMnO4 on the degree of oxidation of graphite powder to graphene oxide were studied. The results showed that treating graphite powder with KMnO4 at 40oC for 12 h resulted in a better degree of oxidation. The reduction of the synthesized graphene oxide (GO) by phytoextract was investigated using an aqueous peel extract of orange (Citrus sinensis). The prepared GO and phytoextract reduced GO (RGO) were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy & Fourier transform infrared analyses to provide a clear indication of the removal of oxygen-containing groups from the graphene and the formation of RGO. The extent of reduction was determined from elemental analysis.

A study to identify hearing problem among elderly

In India the global morbidity rate of hearing problem is 63 million. The current scenario is to increase the life span of the old age population. Our focus is to provide a good quality of life for the people by identifying people with hearing problem. Methods: Descriptive research design was chosen to the study to identify hearing problems among elderly in PSG Hospitals, at Coimbatore. The sample consists of 30 patients. Elderly patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The data collection was done by using the self-administered questionnaire. Collected data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: Out of 30 samples, 15 were identified to have hearing problem. Out of 15 patients, (27%) had no hearing problem, (60%) had mild to moderate hearing problem and (13%) had significant hearing problem. There was a significant association between the severity of hearing problem and with Age of the elders

Magnetic effect on heat and mass transfer analysis of nanofluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium in the presence of chemical reactive spices

Magnetic effect of Heat and Mass Transfer analysis of Nanofluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction has been studied. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using the Series solution technique. The influences of the various parameters on the flow field, Temperature field, Mass Concentration, Shearing Stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer are extensively discussed from graphs and tables.
