A STUDY OF ADAPTABILITY OF NEW TRENDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

How far has this research throws light on new trends, innovative practices on education to be relevant in present situation. Recent trends in education encompass various developments, innovations, and shifts in teaching and learning practices. These trends reflect the evolving needs of learners, advancements in technology, changes in societal dynamics, and new insights into effective pedagogical approaches. New innovations and technique pooled with Liberalization, Globalization and privatization (LPG) have accelerated the pace to change to jet speed. The support or modern system argue that the Technology is double edged word and it depends entirely on the user for its constructive or destructive applications Grate fully, that control of learning is being shifted from teachers into the hands of standout to suit their appetite and pace of learning. The teacher can now cater to more students through virtual classroom and at adjust the teacher methods for micro groups of students based on their needs. There are, a large section of students our country that are deprived of these advantages’ fighter due to a cost barrier for technology or lack of awareness. The ultimate goal of education system is to create students who can transform the world into a better place through constant learning. Teaching learning has undergone transformation in the recent decade mainly with initiative of teacher's forceful entry of technology and increasing accessibility of higher education to our population. Innovation for innovation sake is not in not the say but how it benefits the learners is the main criteria. To promote innovation national levels initiative shall be there to disseminate the innovative practices in India Innovations in India should be based on our strong roots of socialism and egalitarianism. If India has to become knowledge and technology super power only blended approaches to Teach the subject developed by all the stakeholders are to be employed which is sensitive to learner need and interest. The new trends, innovations also help these learners to be more adjustable with their teaching learning process. In this regard, this research is very helpful to develop teaching learning process. The investigator attempted to carry out a descriptive study on adaptability of new trends in higher education under the study area of South Goa district of Goa. Both primary and secondary data were collected, analyzed and interpreted them to validate formulated objectives

Regional inequity in complete antenatal services and public emergency obstetric care is associated with greater burden of maternal deaths: analysis from consecutive district level facility survey of Karnataka, India.

BACKGROUND: This equity focused evaluation analyses change in inter-district inequity of maternal health services (MHS) in Karnataka state between 2006-07 & 2012-13, alongside association of MHS inequity with distribution of maternal deaths. METHODS: Repeated cross-sectional analysis of inequity and decomposition was done on nine district level MHS indicators using Theil's T index. Data was obtained from population linked district level facility surveys and health information systems. RESULTS: Inequity in births attended by skill birth attendants decreased the most (83.16%) among six other MHS indicators. Community provision of comprehensive emergency obstetric care strategy remained stagnant. Districts with higher complete antenatal care share and C-sections in public settings had lesser share of state's maternal deaths (R2 = 0.29, p = 0.004). 5 districts suffered perpetual inequity of MHS with relatively greater burden of maternal deaths. CONCLUSION: First 6 years of national rural health mission increased coverage of MHS and decreased regional inequity albeit non-uniformly. Distribution of system driven interventions of complete ANC and C-sections appear to determine decrease of maternal mortality in Karnataka

General anaesthetic and airway management practice for obstetric surgery in England: a prospective, multi-centre observational study

There are no current descriptions of general anaesthesia characteristics for obstetric surgery, despite recent changes to patient baseline characteristics and airway management guidelines. This analysis of data from the direct reporting of awareness in maternity patients' (DREAMY) study of accidental awareness during obstetric anaesthesia aimed to describe practice for obstetric general anaesthesia in England and compare with earlier surveys and best-practice recommendations. Consenting patients who received general anaesthesia for obstetric surgery in 72 hospitals from May 2017 to August 2018 were included. Baseline characteristics, airway management, anaesthetic techniques and major complications were collected. Descriptive analysis, binary logistic regression modelling and comparisons with earlier data were conducted. Data were collected from 3117 procedures, including 2554 (81.9%) caesarean deliveries. Thiopental was the induction drug in 1649 (52.9%) patients, compared with propofol in 1419 (45.5%). Suxamethonium was the neuromuscular blocking drug for tracheal intubation in 2631 (86.1%), compared with rocuronium in 367 (11.8%). Difficult tracheal intubation was reported in 1 in 19 (95%CI 1 in 16-22) and failed intubation in 1 in 312 (95%CI 1 in 169-667). Obese patients were over-represented compared with national baselines and associated with difficult, but not failed intubation. There was more evidence of change in practice for induction drugs (increased use of propofol) than neuromuscular blocking drugs (suxamethonium remains the most popular). There was evidence of improvement in practice, with increased monitoring and reversal of neuromuscular blockade (although this remains suboptimal). Despite a high risk of difficult intubation in this population, videolaryngoscopy was rarely used (1.9%)

PV Powered Reduced Switch Inverter Based PMSM for Water Pumping System

In this paper a standalone solar PV panel is utilized to operate a PMSM through a 4-switch 3-ph inverter controlled by FIS integrated FOC scheme. The conventional 6-switch 3-ph inverter is replaced with 4-switch inverter replacing two switches of one leg with capacitors. This reduces the switching loses of the inverter increasing the efficiency during different operating conditions. Reference speed for the FOC scheme is generated by P&amp;O speed reference generation algorithm. The FOC scheme is integrated with FIS speed regulator replacing conventional PI controller improving the performance of PMSM. A comparative analysis is carried out on the systems with both the controllers (PI and FIS) of FOC scheme and the results are discussed in this paper generated using MATLAB Simulink software. All the results are generated in graphical representation plotting with respect to time.</jats:p
