Job Satisfaction among the Library Professionals of Engineering Colleges in South Tamil Nadu

This paper discusses job satisfaction among library professionals in engineering colleges in South Tamil Nadu. Job satisfaction is a personal feeling which could cause by a variety of factors. The questionnaire method was used for data collection, and results were tabulated, and statistical technique such as Weighted Arithmetic Mean (WAM) was used for the analysis. The 235 questionnaires were distributed among the library professionals are working \u27Engineering & Technology colleges in South Tamil Nadu. Among the 235, 210(89.36%) library and information science professionals were responded. The impact of ICT on Job satisfaction among the Library and information science professionals has given priority to \u27Helped to keep me up-to-date. \u27Increased my job satisfaction and \u27provided more interesting and more variety in my work\u27 are the purposes to visit the library and the second and third preference respectively given for them by the professionals

Establishment of Unit Based Council Using a Shared Governance Toolkit

Practice Problem: Shared governance (SG) is an organizational structure that provides healthcare professionals control over their professional practice. Lack of a unit-based council (UBC) was noted as a problem disrupting the shared decision-making and problem-solving approach. PICOT: In an adult acute care unit lacking a UBC structure (P), what is the effect of the implementation of a SG toolkit (I) compared to no SG toolkit (C) on the establishment of a SG UBC within a period of 10-weeks (T)? Evidence: The literature evidence suggest that SG enables nurses to engage as a partner with nursing leaders within the organization in seeking solutions to problems. Intervention: The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) change management project included the establishment of a UBC for SG using a SG toolkit for education, and the identification of a core group to manage the UBC. The Index of Professional Nursing Governance (IPNG) measured SG success elements pre and post intervention. Outcome: Overall, this EBP change project was clinically significant as it enabled to establish a SG structure for the unit in the form of UBC to practice shared decision-making regarding the professional governance components of SG. The statistical results were not significant due to a small sample size and short testing period used for the EBP change project. Conclusion: SG is needed within healthcare organizations because it promotes nurses’ shared decision-making. Ultimately, SG is the foundation for a culture of clinical and nursing excellence of top-performing healthcare organizations

Blended Learning in Anesthesia Education: Current State and Future Model

Purpose of review: Educators in anesthesia residency programs across the country are facing a number of challenges as they attempt to integrate blended learning techniques in their curriculum. Compared with the rest of higher education, which has made advances to varying degrees in the adoption of online learning anesthesiology education has been sporadic in the active integration of blended learning. The purpose of this review is to discuss the challenges in anesthesiology education and relevance of the Universal Design for Learning framework in addressing them. Recent findings: There is a wide chasm between student demand for online education and the availability of trained faculty to teach. The design of the learning interface is important and will significantly affect the learning experience for the student. Summary: This review examines recent literature pertaining to this field, both in the realm of higher education in general and medical education in particular, and proposes the application of a comprehensive learning model that is new to anesthesiology education and relevant to its goals of promoting self-directed learning

Three Phase Active Shunt Power Filter with Simple Control in PSIM Simulation

Generally the electrical system used by many consumer and industry usually uses passive filter and capacitor bank to compensate, harmonics and reactive power absorbed by the loads .The passive filter and capacitor bank make harmonic resonance with input impedance so that magnitude of harmonic current increased with harmonic frequency generated by nonlinear load. In this paper a simple active filter with PSIM simulation model used, the reference current generated by simple method of power synchronous detection and gate pulses generated by the use of modulated hysteresis current controller. The proposed model compensates current harmonics, and it  does power factor correction. The active filter designed in PSIM software and control of active filter is done in Simulink environment. PSIM and MATLAB software is linked by Sim coupler. The capacitor voltage is maintained constant by using PI controller. Simulation results with PSIM software shows that the designed active filter is very effective in harmonic elimination and power factor correction Keywords: : Active filter, Modulated Hysteresis current control, power synchronous detection (PSD),current harmonics, Pulse Width Modulation, , PSIM software
