The nurse’s knowledge and attitudes towards the Palliative care among nurses staff at Sabia general hospital 2018

The aim of our study is to assess the nurse's knowledge and attitudes towards Palliative Care among nurses working in Sabia general hospitals and to find an association between nursing staff, knowledge, attitude and selected demographic variables. Material and methods: We performed a cross-sectional descriptive survey using a self-administered questionnaire. The total number of completed and returned questionnaires was 53, giving a 100% response rate. The study was conducted between December 2017 and January 2018 Study Sample: simple random sampling consisted of 53 nurses, who work in the previously mentioned settings invited to participate in the study. The tool of the study: For data collection, a self-administrative questionnaire was developed by researchers and used to assess. Nurses’ socio-demographic characteristic as regards their age, gender, Nursing Qualification, Department of work, Working experience, Training in caring terminally ill clients, and assessed knowledge, attitudes regard plaintive care, also assessed the relation between socio-demographic data and knowledge and attitude. Results showed that respondents have fair knowledge toward palliative care 27 (50.9%) and fair attitude 30 (56.6%).there is the significant relationship between knowledge and demographic data p-value is .004.conclusion nurses showed poor knowledge towards palliative care and half of them showed fair attitude. Material and methods: We performed a cross-sectional descriptive survey using a self-administered questionnaire.

An overview of game theory for resource allocation in device to device communication

Device to Device communication which allows the mobile device such as smartphone and tablet to used licensed as well as the unlicensed band for communication. In this paper, we study the detail concept of D2D communication and also the game theory concept of resource allocation so as to improve the spectrum efficiency problem. Game theory is an important tool for various allocation with the different strategy.

FAUX leather: An eco-friendly innovation

The present era consumers are fashion conscious. They demand updated and up style look for themselves. Consumers are now more conscious of what they buy, about the style, visual appearance, etc. They not only look at the functions of the product but also the aesthetics according to the current fashion. The use of faux leather instead of natural leather can cater the demand of fashion products as well as will also take care of their environmental, economic and religious concerns of the consumers.

Smart Id card system

The Smart ID Card System, a system wherein an individual can use the ID card for Door Access and Attendance Management. RFID technology has been employed in this system. When the ID card (containing the RFID tag) is found to be valid by the RFID reader, door access is provided. The door access time (In-time and Out-time) is noted in order to provide the attendance. The attendance of the student is updated in the university portal and also a message is generated to parents through GSM technology. This entire system is divided into two main parts – The Hardware and the Software. The Hardware part includes a motor unit (connected to the door); the RFID Tag (ID card); RFID Reader, which is connected to the host computer device using a serial to USB converter cable and a GSM Module. The Software part includes the Interface created using Microsoft Visual Studio, which is connected to the student database present in Microsoft Access.

Performance and emission characteristics of Pyrolysed fuel in direct injection diesel engine

The interest of using alternative fuels in diesel engines has been accelerated exponentially due to a foreseen scarcity in world petroleum reserves, increase in the prices of the conventional fossil fuels and restrictions on exhaust emissions such as greenhouse gases from internal combustion (IC) engines initiated by environmental concerns. Pyrolysis oil is used to be fueled with diesel. The usage of oxygenated fuel will reduce emission level. Adding Pyrolysis oil to petroleum products allows the fuel to combust properly due to the presence of oxygen, which increases the combustion efficiency and reduces air pollution. The higher activation energy of alcohols leads to better resistance to engine knocking that allows higher compression ratios and greater engine thermal efficiencies. In this study, by varying the engine load and Pyrolysis oil percentage (10% & 20%) with Diesel in DI Diesel engine the influence of Pyrolysis oil /diesel fuel blends has to be analyzed while comparing the performance and emissions characteristics with diesel fuel. The properties of the mixtures were estimated and the exhaust gas components such as hydrocarbons, CO, CO2, and NOx emissions have also been measured with the gas analyzer and have been compared with base fuel.

Automatic control of temperature and moisture of room cooler using Arduino

The paper is based on temperature based automatic control of the cooling fan. LM-35 is used for sensing the room temperature. The circuit automatically senses the temperature and sends the signal to the Arduino. The range of LM-35 is 0-100◦ C. Electronic temperature controlled relays are used for an operation of the submersible pump. For the controlling purpose, Arduino microcontroller is used. The temperature that is sensed is compared with the program which decides the gate pulse for triac. Fan speed is changed according to the duty cycle of triac. Temperature values are visible on display. This project also involves the automation of submersible pump by using moisture sensor. It throws light on how water can be saved using this method.
