Structured teaching programme on knowledge about polycystic ovarian syndrome among adolescent girls

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common female endocrine disorder affecting 4 – 18% of women in their reproductive age. It is common in adolescent girls. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome affects throughout the life and produce gynaecological and metabolic health problems. The aim of this study to create the awareness about the polycystic ovarian syndrome to the adolescent girls.Methods: A Quantitative approach with pre- experimental design was used to study the effectiveness of STP on Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Ninety-four adolescent girls aged between 15 – 18 years were conveniently selected. Data was collected by using Structured Knowledge questionnaire.Results: The mean post-test knowledge score (22.55± 3.57) was higher than that of mean pre-test mean knowledge score (11.13± 3.32) and the mean difference was11.42. The ‘t’ calculated value was 23.45 which is higher than the tabulated value of 1.98 (df 93 at p< 0.05). Therefore, research hypothesis was accepted. So, it can be interpreting that structured teaching programme is effective in improving the knowledge of adolescent girls.Conclusions: The findings of the study revealed that STP was effective in enhancing the knowledge of adolescent girls on PCOS. Hence the study concluded that structured teaching programme had a great potentiality to increase the awareness on PCOS

However, it has also presented a number of difficulties that businesses will need to address before implementing it successfully. This study looks at the problems that arise from a more digitalized workplace and the methods that have been developed to solve them. Tools for cloud-based collaboration, cybersecurity, project management, time tracking, and training and upskilling are all discussed in this article. By allocating resources to these technologies, businesses may provide a safer, healthier, and more productive workplace for their workers. Key words: Digitization, Culture, Challenges, Implementation, Cloud-based Collaboration tools, Cybersecurity, Training and upskilling.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIAN WRITERS TO ENGLISH LITERATURE

ABSTRACT The English-language book output from India ranks third in the world. After the success of Salman Rushdie's books in the 1980s, a slew of Indian writers began penning works in English. Several of them have received international awards. There is no other site on earth where Indian English literature from 1980 may be found. During this time, a number of promising novelists published their first collections. Some venerable masters have recently released new works that demonstrate a continuity of vision that has survived the years. During the 18s, Indian authors received acclaim both at home and abroad for their work. Like the works of writers of the third generation before them, these works speak eloquently about the authors' great inventiveness and uniqueness. There is no denying the contemporary existence of Indian English literature. Over the years, it has attracted a large following in India and beyond.

Varietal Identification and Seed Quality Estimation through Biochemical Characterisation of Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.)

The present investigation was conducted during kharif of 2021 at College of Forestry, Ranichauri, Tehri Garhwal of VCSG Uttarakhand University of Horticulture &amp; Forestry, Bharsar, Pauri, Garhwal, Uttarakhand, to investigate the biochemical characteristics of different varieties of amaranth.The laboratory experiment was conducted in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications comprising seven varieties to assess the seed quality and biochemical characters of grain amaranth.In laboratory condition, the seed quality attributes under standard germination test ,viz., germination percentage, seedling total length, seedling fresh and dry weight,and seedling vigour indices were recorded higher with the treatmentT5(PRA-2).Under stress test,viz., accelerate ageing, cold test and water sensitivity test, significantly higher value of seed quality parameters were recorded with the treament T6(PRA-3).On the basis of this investigation, it could be concluded that treatments T4 (PRA-1), T5(PRA-2), T6(PRA-3) and T7(Annapurna)are performing overall better for biochemical and seed quality of amaranth

Traditional Uses of Medicinal Tree Species in Renuka Forest Division, Western Himalaya

Himalayan forests are the most important source of medicinal plants, which are used by local people. Renuka Forest Division (RFD) with 1018 km2 lies in the outer western Himalayan region of Sirmour District of Himachal Pradesh in western Himalaya. The entire tract of RFD is mountainous and varies in elevations from 620 to 3647 m asl. The present study is focused on the traditional use of medicinal trees in the study area, which was gathered through questionnaire survey and also from relevant literature. A total of 30 medicinally important tree species are reported, of which 30% trees were used for their bark, 26.67% for fruits, 16.67% for leaves, 10% for roots, 10% for seeds and 3.3% trees each for flowers and whole plant by the local people. The present study can serve as baseline information on medicinal trees and would be helpful in conservation of these important resource as well as traditional knowledge of the area

Prospective randomized comparative study between EBRT alone and EBRT with ILRT boost in locally advanced unresectable esophageal cancer - Tertiary rural Indian cancer center experience

Background: Local recurrence within the gross tumor volume following a conventional radiation dose of 50 Gy is a major hurdle in achieving a better prognosis for esophageal carcinoma. Consequently, there remains a lack of consensus globally regarding the optimal dose for definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Certain studies propose that radiation dose escalation could enhance clinical outcomes. Aims and Objectives: The current study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) alone versus EBRT with intraluminal radiotherapy (ILRT) boost. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients with locally advanced unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus were prospectively enrolled in this study. A comparison was conducted between 50 Gy EBRT alone and 50 Gy EBRT with 8 Gy ILRT boost, alongside weekly concurrent chemotherapy, to assess the response and toxicities. Results: On initial assessment, a complete response (CR) was achieved in 76.66% of patients in the ILRT boost arm and 70% in the EBRT alone arm (P=0.559). At the 6th-month follow-up, 60% of patients in the ILRT boost arm and 50% in the EBRT alone arm still had a CR. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two arms in terms of leukopenia (P=0.576), nephrotoxicity (P=1.0), radiation dermatitis (P=0.615), vomiting (P=0.921), and diarrhea (P=1.0). Five patients in the ILRT boost arm and three in the EBRT alone arm experienced stricture, while no cases of fistula formation were reported. Conclusion: Dose escalation with ILRT can result in an enhanced CR accompanied by manageable toxicity, ultimately leading to improved locoregional control
