Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of Mothers Related to their Oral Health Status of 6-12 Years Old Children in Bhilai City, Chhattisgarh, India

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the oral health status of 6-12 year old children and their mother’s knowledge, attitude, and practices in Bhilai city. Moreover, this study was also carried out to determine whether mother’s oral health related knowledge, attitude, and practices have a significant influence on the oral health of their children. Materials and Methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted among children (n=600) aged between 6-12 years, attending both government and private schools accompanied with their mothers in Bhilai city. The oral health status of the children was evaluated by using WHO Oral Health Assessment Form (2013). The parents were then asked to fill 25 item based on selfadministered questionnaire. Mother’s knowledge, attitude, and practices were assessed by direct contact with mothers using close ended questionnaire. Statistical Analysis: The data was then entered and analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Also, p value≤ 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The result of the study showed that 90% of mothers had good knowledge, 75% mothers had average attitude, and 51% mothers had high level practices related to oral health. An inverse relationship was found between children’s oral health status and their mother’s knowledge, attitude, and practices about oral health. Thus, the findings were highly significant. Conclusion: Results showed that mother’s oral health related to knowledge, attitude, and practices had a significant impact on oral health status of their children

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy of #-Fe2O3

The epsilon Fe2O3 phase of iron oxide has been studied to understand the spin structure and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the bulk and in thin films of ε-Fe2O3 and Co-doped ε-Fe2O3. The preferential magnetization direction in the nanoparticles of ε-Fe2O3 is along the a-axis [M. Gich et al., Chem. Mater. 18, 3889 (2006)]. Compared to the bulk band gap of 1.9 eV, the thin-film band gap is reduced to 1.3 eV in the Co-free films and to 0.7 eV in the film with partial Co substitution. The easy magnetization direction of the bulk and Co-free ε-Fe2O3 is along the a-axis, but it switches to the a-axis on Co substitution. All three systems exhibit in-plane anisotropies associated with the orthorhombic crystal structure of the oxide

The Comprehension of the Nichar Community for the Development and Growth of the Destination as a Creative Tourism Destination?

The emerging concept in culture tourism is creative tourism, which allows visitors to grasp themselves in local traditions and culture. It is a way that can be utilized for the growth and development of communities. Creative Tourism can be seen as means of promoting prosperity and well-being in different countries. Although, (UNESCO, 2017) assessed the alteration of cultural tourism into creative tourism as it addresses more to the Sustainable Development Goals. The Structured Questionnaire was formed and a survey was conducted and 50 samples from each village were collected from for analysis and interpretation. To exert the influence, this research paper has been designed to pertain the scope of creative tourism resources and to understand community willingness, awareness, and perception of the development and growth of tourism in the prospect of creative tourism destination. It has been unearthed that three villages (Puja, Garode, and Kashpo) in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur region require consciousness for creative tourism implementation. The residents with high education qualifications have shown a positive approach. The state of Himachal Pradesh is well notable of its community hidden treasure and represents it as a creative place making although it doesn’t have any region that represents itself as a creative tourism destination

An Activity Theory Approach to Specification of Access Control Policies in Transitive Health Workflows

Access control models are implemented to mitigate the risks of unauthorized access in Electronic Health Records (EHRs). These models provide authorization with the help of security policies, wherein the protected resource is governed by one or more policies that exactly specify what attributes a requester needs to fulfill in order to obtain access. However, due to the increasing complexity of current healthcare system, defining and implementing policies are becoming more and more difficult. In this research-in-progress paper, we present an Activity Theory driven methodology to formalize access control policies that can be used in enforcing patient’s privacy consent in a healthcare setting. In order to account for the transitivity in health workflows, we extend the Activity Theory to include “organizational interconnectedness” within the health workflows

First-principle investigation of structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Co2VIn and CoVIn Heusler compounds

Investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of full-Heusler Co2VIn as well as half-Heusler CoVIn Cobalt based Heusler compounds using density functional theory (DFT) leads to the general conclusion that Co2VIn and CoVIn are half-metallic materials with a gap at the Fermi level in the minority states and majority states respectively. A Hubbard-like Coulomb correlation term U has been included in the DFT (DFT+U) for the computation of the electronic and magnetic properties of the compounds. The structural properties have been calculated for the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, and both Co2VIn and CoVIn are found to be stable in the ferromagnetic phase. The calculated magnetic moments are 2 μB and 0.9 μB per formula unit for Co2VIn and CoVIn respectively

Half-metallic magnetism in Ti3Co5-xFexB2

Bulk alloys and thin films of Fe-substituted Ti3Co5B2 have been investigated by first-principle density-functional calculations. The series, which is of interest in the context of alnico magnetism and spin electronics, has been experimentally realized in nanostructures but not in the bulk. Our bulk calculations predict paramagnetism for Ti3Co5B2, Ti3Co4FeB2 and Ti3CoFe4B2, whereas Ti3Fe5B2 is predicted to be ferromagnetic. The thin films are all ferromagnetic, indicating that moment formation may be facilitated at nanostructural grain boundaries. One member of the thin-film series, namely Ti3CoFe4B2, is half-metallic and exhibits perpendicular easy-axis magnetic anisotropy. The half-metallicity reflects the hybridization of the Ti, Fe and Co 3d orbitals, which causes a band gap in minority spin channel, and the limited equilibrium solubility of Fe in bulk Ti3Co5B2 may be linked to the emerging half metallicity due to Fe substitution

Unusual perpendicular anisotropy in Co\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eTiSi films

Thin films of Co2TiSi on MgO are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The films were produced by magnetron sputtering on MgO(001) and have a thickness of about 100 nm. As bulk Co2TiSi, they crystallize in the normal cubic Heusler (L21) structure, but the films are slightly distorted (c/a = 1.0014) and contain some antisite disorder. The films exhibit a robust perpendicular anisotropy of 0.5 MJ m−3. This result is surprising for several reasons. First, surface and interface anisotropies are too small to explain perpendicular anisotropy in such rather thick films. Second, Co2TiSi has a substantial magnetization and crystallizes in a cubic Heusler structure, so that conventional wisdom predicts a preferential magnetization direction in the film plane rather than perpendicular. Third, the lattice strain of 0.14% is unable to account for the perpendicular anisotropy. We explain the perpendicular anisotropy as a quasicubic symmetry breaking chemical-ordering effect promoted by the substrate

Quantum phase transition and ferromagnetism in Co\u3csub\u3e1+x\u3c/sub\u3eSn

The onset of ferromagnetism in cobalt-tin alloys is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The Co1+xSn alloys were prepared by rapid quenching from the melt and form a modified hexagonal NiAs-type crystal structure for 0.45 ≤ x ≤ 1. The magnetic behavior is described analytically and by density-functional theory using supercells and the coherent-potential approximation. The excess of Co concentration x, which enters the interstitial 2d sites in the hypothetical NiAs-ordered parent alloy CoSn, yields a Griffiths-like phase and, above a quantum critical point (xc ≈ 0.65), a quantum phase transition to ferromagnetic order. Quantum critical exponents are determined on the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic sides of the transition and related to the nature of the magnetism in itinerant systems with different types of chemical disorder
