Early education and clinical exposure on hand hygiene: a key for better compliance

Background: India is underperforming when it comes to compliance to hand hygiene. Early education on followed by regular hand hygiene audits can bring positive changes in infection control practices.Methods: Group I included the 3rd Semester MBBS students who had early education and training on hand hygiene and Group II included the post graduate residents who were exposed to Hand Hygiene later in their carrier were followed up for compliance of WHO Hand Hygiene moments for four months. Compliance among students and residents were observed and compared.Results: Compliance rate was more (40.4%) among medical students as compared to residents (17%). The After moments had a better compliance than Before moments among both students and residents. The difference in the compliance rate was statistically significant.Conclusions: Early clinical exposure of the students to any problem, is the key for better compliance thus explaining the better compliance rate among medical students. Better HH practice can bring down prevalence of Healthcare associated infection by multidrug resistant organism which is a major concern today.

Comprehensive Analysis and Review of Particle Swarm Optimization Techniques and Inventory System

The main aim of this study work is to discuss the applications of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Techniques and inventory system in engineering and science. Holding and dealing with of a stock item is one of the crucial work for minimum cost and the control running of any commercial enterprise corporation to be it a five-star hotel, a publication house, a production enterprise or a hospital. PSO has numerous application in the area of commercial enterprise and industries. Inventories constitute a huge part of the entire belongings of a corporation, and enormous attempt is needed to manipulate the inventories. In the provision of very restrained assets in nations like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc., then an obligation of usage of assets with the most efficient way need to be prioritized. Therefore, the control of the substances and stock manipulate play an essential position with the control of productivity. It is hoped that this discussion would be important for researchers using PSO with inventory control

A Review on Microencapsulation as Method of Drug Delivery

Microencapsulation can be described as heavy, fluid or gaseous substance packaging engineering with thin polymeric coatings, creating small particles called microcapsules. Microencapsulation is very helpful to increase the solubility of drugs. For the drugs of BCS Class-II we use this technique which enables us to get more solubility and increase dissolution profile. This is a novel method of drug delivery. In future aspect we can use this technique in the foodindustry, beverages. A microencapsulation approach for the preparation of an intrauterine contraceptionsystem was alsosuggested. This technique is helpful to overcome poor solubility, low Bioavaibility and less stability.This method also gives more control over the drawback of conventional dosages form

Evidence of a Sub-Saturn around EPIC~211945201

We report here strong evidence for a sub-Saturn around EPIC~211945201 and confirm its planetary nature. EPIC~211945201b was found to be a planetary candidate from {\it K2} photometry in Campaigns 5 \& 16, transiting a bright star ($V_{\rm mag}=10.15$, G0 spectral type) in a 19.492 day orbit. However, the photometric data combined with false positive probability calculations using VESPA was not sufficient to confirm the planetary scenario. Here we present high-resolution spectroscopic follow-up of the target using the PARAS spectrograph (19 radial velocity observations) over a time-baseline of 420 days. We conclusively rule out the possibility of an eclipsing binary system and confirm the 2-$\sigma$ detection of a sub-Saturn planet. The confirmed planet has a radius of 6.12$\pm0.1$$~R_{\oplus}$, and a mass of $27_{-12.6}^{+14}$~$M_{\oplus}$. We also place an upper limit on the mass (within the 3-$\sigma$ confidence interval) at 42~$M_{\oplus}$ above the nominal value. This results in the Saturn-like density of $0.65_{-0.30}^{+0.34}$ g~cm$^{-3}$. Based on the mass and radius, we provide a preliminary model-dependent estimate that the heavy element content is 60-70 \% of the total mass. This detection is important as it adds to a sparse catalog of confirmed exoplanets with masses between 10-70 $M_{\oplus}$ and radii between 4-8 $R_{\oplus}$, whose masses and radii are measured to a precision of 50\% or better (only 23 including this work).Comment: Accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal, 17 pages, 8 figure
