A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of An Educational Session on Knowledge Regarding Braden Scale as A Standard Tool to Assess the Risk of Pressure Sore in Bedridden Patient Among Nursing Students
Abstract: Pressure sores represent a troublesome and frequently incapacitating condition that impacts individuals who are bedridden, frail, weakened, and malnourished. The occurrence of pressure sores ranges from 0.4% to 38.0% in large hospitals, 2.2% to 23.9% in individuals receiving long-term care, and 0% to 17% in home care settings. In the Indian context, the occurrence of pressure sores among hospitalized patients has been documented at 4.94%. The Braden Scale is among …

Experimental Study on Charging Conditions of a Single Component DDT Detonator Using Nickel Hydrazine Nitrate
Abstract: As a salt of a coordination compound of nickel, nickel hydrazine nitrate (NHN) is an energetic substance with characteristics halfway between those of primary and secondary explosives. It is less sensitive to friction and mechanical impact than other primary explosives, although it is highly sensitive to flames. NHN is not very dangerous to handle, but it explodes readily when exposed to flame. This property makes it possible to fabricate safety …

Influence of Jute Fibers on Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength of Concrete Composites
Abstract: Abstract: Concrete is a very versatile construction material, and its demand is growing day by day to meet ongoing construction work. At the same time aggressive impact of concrete materials on environment is also increasing. Concrete is recognised as foundation of our progress allowing us to build the infrastructure of modern life but raising issues like global warming in present day civilisation. This modern growth comes at the cost of …

Exploring the Utilization of Bakelite Waste as a Partial Coarse Aggregate Replacement in Concrete: An Assessment of Mechanical Properties and Durability
Abstract: Abstract The burgeoning challenge of plastic waste management has prompted researchers to seek sustainable alternatives within various sectors, particularly in the construction industry, which is a significant consumer of raw materials. This study thoroughly investigates the viability of incorporating Bakelite waste, a type of thermosetting plastic known for its durability and resistance to degradation, as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates in concrete formulations. Concrete mixtures were meticulously designed with …

A Quasi-experimental Study to Evaluate the Impact of Nurse-led Intervention to Prevent Ventilator-associated Pneumonia in Critically-ill Patients at Selected ICU of Pt. B. D. Sharma PGIMS University of Health Science, Rohtak
Abstract: Background: Healthcare professionals and patients encounter numerous challenges in dealing with emerging treatment methods and their effects. Intensive care units experience a significantly higher rate of hospital-acquired infections than regular hospital wards. These include infections related to catheters, pneumonia associated with ventilators, and infections at surgical sites. Such nosocomial infections lead to increased death rates, illness, and medical expenses. Prolonged hospital stays, extended intensive care unit stays, and increased mechanical …

Effectiveness of Structured-Teaching Program on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Oral Hygiene Among School-Going Children Aged Between 10–13 Years Old at Selected School,Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh
Abstract: Background: Dental health is crucial to school health because untreated dental decay can hinder kids’ development and learning, exacerbate behavioral issues, and lower their self-esteem. Oral hygiene refers to the maintenance of cleanliness of the teeth and mouth to prevent dental problems such as dental caries, gingivitis, and bad breath. Effective oral hygiene focuses on controlling and preventing the buildup of dental plaque. This study was conducted to assess the …

Efficient Control Strategies for Multiphase Interleaved Boost Converter in Photovoltaic Systems: A Modeling and Simulation Approach
Abstract: The main goal of this project is to create a Multiphase Interleaved boost converter with a solar module using the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique. Thus, the PV module is first examined in MATLAB with SIMULINK software. Just one diode here, a photovoltaic model is applied. The two environmental factors that have the biggest impact on PV cell properties are temperature and solar radiation. A three-phase interleaved boost converter …
