Likert scale shows that 42% of adolescents are agree, 35.2% are strongly disagree, 28.8% are strongly agree, 28.4% are neutral, and 26.4% are disagree. Conclusion: The conclusion of the study reveals that the moderate knowledge score was 92.5% and in Likert scale highest percentage, 42% of adolescents are agree, so the attitude regarding adverse effects of social networking is positive

Effectiveness of swallowing exercise on swallowing and feeding performance among traumatic brain injury patients.

A quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of swallowing exercise on swallowing and feeding performance among patients with traumatic brain injury in selected hospital at Kanyakumari district.Quasi experimental, pre assessment and post assessment control group design was adopted. Samples were selected from Muthu Neuro Centre, Chunkankadai, Kanyakumari District, Kevin Neuro Centre, Vettunimadam, Kanyakumari District. By using purposive sampling technique. 30 samples were in study group, 30 samples were in control group. Gugging swallowing screening scale was used to assess the level of dysphagia. For study group the investigator demonstrated swallowing exercise for 10 minutes three times a day for 5 days. For control group the hospital routine was followed. Post assessment was conducted on 6 day of the intervention. During pre-assessment, in study group 14(46.67%) had slight dysphagia, 16(53.33%) had moderate dysphagia,none of them had no dysphagia,severe dysphagia. In control group 15(50%) had slight dysphagia, 15(50%) had moderate dysphagia.None of them had no dysphagia , severe dysphagia.During post assessment in study group 18(60%) had no dysphagia, 12(40%) had slight dysphagia, none of them had moderate dysphagia ,severe dysphagia. In control group 10(33.33%) had no dysphagia, 14(46.67%) had slight dysphagia, 6(20%) had moderate dysphagia.None of them had severe dysphagia. In study group the mean score was 13.33 in pre assessment and 18.21 in post assessment. The estimated paired t test value was 7.18 which is significant at p<0.05. In control group, the mean score was 13.66 in pre assessment and 16.52 in post assessment. The estimated paired t test value was 4.21 which is not significant at p<0.05.In study group mean post assessment score of swallowing and feeding performance was 18.21.In control group the post assessment score of swallowing and feeding performance was 16.52.The unpaired t test value was 3.60, which is significant at p<0.05 level of significance.There is no significant association between the post assessment level of swallowing and feeding performance among traumatic brain injury patients in study group and control group with selected demographic variables and clinical variables at p<0.05 level. Hence hypothesis H2 is not accepted. As per the study the researcher concludes that the swallowing exercise is effective and it improves the swallowing and feeding performance

Predictive Model for Gross Community Production Rate of Coral Reefs using Ensemble Learning Methodologies

Coral reefs play a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of the marine ecosystem. Various marine organisms depend on coral reefs for their existence and their natural processes. Coral reefs provide the necessary habitat for reproduction and growth for various exotic species of the marine ecosystem. In this article, we discuss the most important parameters which influence the lifecycle of coral and coral reefs such as ocean acidification, deoxygenation and other physical parameters such as flow rate and surface area. Ocean acidification depends on the amount of dissolved Carbon dioxide (CO2). This is due to the release of H+ ions upon the reaction of the dissolved CO2 gases with the calcium carbonate compounds in the ocean. Deoxygenation is another problem that leads to hypoxia which is characterized by a lesser amount of dissolved oxygen in water than the required amount for the existence of marine organisms. In this article, we highlight the importance of physical parameters such as flow rate which influence gas exchange, heat dissipation, bleaching sensitivity, nutrient supply, feeding, waste and sediment removal, growth and reproduction. In this paper, we also bring out these important parameters and propose an ensemble machine learning-based model for analyzing these parameters and provide better rates that can help us to understand and suitably improve the ocean composition which in turn can eminently improve the sustainability of the marine ecosystem, mainly the coral reefsComment: 8 pages, 18 figure

La importancia de la colaboración interprofesional para mejorar la seguridad del paciente en la asistencia sanitaria

When healthcare experts from many disciplines work together to provide thorough and efficient patient care, this is referred to as interprofessional collaboration. It is impossible to overestimate the importance of interprofessional cooperation in raising patient safety within the healthcare system. 306 students participated in a 4-hour program that included three team simulation exercises and a 1-hour TeamSTEPPS session. By program, students were divided and asked to choose a main point. Perspectives, opinions, and possibilities for collaboration were investigated in pre- and post-assessments. Pre and post tests were completed by 49% of the students. Improvements in attitudes toward teamwork, motivation, the value of training, self-efficacy, and TeamSTEPPS abilities are significant. Strengthened interprofessional team interaction and understanding of patient advocacy. For patient safety, efficient collaboration among teammates is crucial. In a significant interprofessional TeamSTEPPS-based program encompassing four student professions, we establish beneficial attitude and knowledge consequences.Cuando expertos sanitarios de muchas disciplinas trabajan juntos para proporcionar una atención al paciente completa y eficiente, se habla de colaboración interprofesional. Es imposible sobrestimar la importancia de la colaboración interprofesional para aumentar la seguridad de los pacientes dentro del sistema sanitario. 306 estudiantes participaron en un programa de 4 horas que incluía tres ejercicios de simulación en equipo y una sesión TeamSTEPPS de 1 hora. Por programa, se dividió a los estudiantes y se les pidió que eligieran un punto principal. En las evaluaciones previas y posteriores se investigaron las perspectivas, opiniones y posibilidades de colaboración. El 49% de los alumnos completaron las pruebas pre y post. Las mejoras en las actitudes hacia el trabajo en equipo, la motivación, el valor de la formación, la autoeficacia y las habilidades de TeamSTEPPS son significativas. Fortalecimiento de la interacción del equipo interprofesional y comprensión de la defensa del paciente. Para la seguridad del paciente, la colaboración eficaz entre compañeros de equipo es crucial. En un programa interprofesional significativo basado en TeamSTEPPS que abarca cuatro profesiones estudiantiles, establecemos consecuencias beneficiosas en cuanto a actitudes y conocimientos
