A Study to Assess the Level of Stress and Coping Strategies among Mothers of Autistic Children at Selected Setting, in a view to develop an Information Booklet

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the level of stress and coping strategies among mothers of autistic children at selected setting, in a view to develop an Information booklet. STUDY OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of stress among mothers of autistic children. 2. To determine the coping strategies among mothers of autistic children. 3. To correlate the level of stress and coping strategies among mothers of autistic children. 4. To find out the association with the selected demographic variables. 5. To develop an information booklet on coping with stress for mothers of autistic children. METHODOLOGY: The design adopted was Descriptive research design in a selected setting .The sample size was 100. The sample is selected by means of purposive sampling technique. The level of stress among mothers with autistic children was assessed by Parental stress scale, the level of coping was assessed by COPE inventory. RESULTS: The results shows that 59% of the mothers suffering from moderate stress, 41% are having severe stress.54% are having Inadequate coping skills, 46% are having moderately adequate coping skills , correlation was done between stress and coping skills where r value is -0.70. CONCLUSION: There was a negative correlation between stress and coping skills that shows there is significant relationship between stress and coping strategies

Convex Optimization Algorithm for Product Recommendation Using Microblogging Information

The ecommerce and the social media is connected together where the products advertisements can be given by the ecommerce website which can be viewed by the social media users that is facebook users can  view the reviews given by the facebook friends or friends of friends of the users. The user may get an idea about the product features and also can be able to decide whether to buy the product or not. And also the user can give the review when the user knows about the product. In facebook database, all the reviews of the users or friends or friends of friends are stored. Among all the reviews, the overall count of the users who have given the positive comments and the negative comments are displayed .From this, the users can easily decide whether the product is useful or not. In the proposed system, convolutional neural network is used for more advanced learning

PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF VITAMINS C AND E AGAINST ENDOMETRIAL DAMAGE AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN FLUORIDE INTOXICATION

1. Fluoride (F) is an essential trace element that has protective effects against bone mineral loss. However, it becomes toxic at higher doses and induces some adverse effects on a number of physiological functions, including reproduction. The aims of this study were to examine F-induced oxidative stress that promotes production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to investigate the role of vitamins C and E against possible F-induced endometrial impairment in rats. 2. Rats were divided into three groups: control, F and F plus vitamins. The F group was given 100 mg/L orally for 60 days. Combined vitamins were also administered orally. Fluoride administration to control rats significantly increased endometrial malondialdehyde (MDA) but decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) activities. Endometrial glandular and stromal apoptosis were investigated by DNA nick end-labelling (TUNEL) method on each sample and the mean endometrial apoptotic index (AI) was calculated. 3. Vitamin administration with F treatment caused endometrial MDA to decrease, but SOD, GSH-Px and CAT activities to increase, all to significant levels. Vitamins showed a histopathological protection against F-induced endometrial damage. There was a significant difference in the AI between the groups. Lymphocyte and eosinophil infiltration in stroma in F-treated rats were more than those in the control and F + Vit groups. 4. It can be concluded that oxidative endometrial damage plays an important role in F-induced endometrial toxicity, and the modulation of oxidative stress with vitamins reduces F-induced endometrial damage both at the biochemical and histological levels
