Abstract: Polycystic ovary disease (PCOD) is a condition that affects a woman�s hormone levels. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on polycystic ovarian disease and to find out the association between the pre test knowledge scores of polycystic ovarian disease among adolescent girls with selected demographic variables. Index terms: effectiveness, structured teaching programme, polycystic ovarian disease, adolescent girls. Introduction: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, (PCOS) is the most common problem that encounter with fertility of women in reproductive age. The prevalence of polycystic ovaries in Indian subcontinent Asian women is very high. The prevalence of polycystic ovarian disease in general population has been estimated to be 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones. This hormone imbalance causes them to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant. As the rates of obesity increases among children and adolescents, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is certainly one of these conditions suited for nursing for its prevention. The objectives of the study are: 1. To assess the level of pretest knowledge score on Polycystic Ovarian Disease among adolescent girls 2. To assess the level of post test knowledge score on Polycystic Ovarian Disease among adolescent girls. 3. To assess the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on Polycystic Ovarian Diseases among adolescent girls by comparing pre and post test knowledge scores. 4. To find out the association between the pre test knowledge scores of Polycystic Ovarian Disease among adolescent girls with selected demographic variables. Methodology: With an evaluative approach, a pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted in Handique Girls College, Guwahati, Assam and 60 samples of adolescent girls were selected using purposive sampling technique. Modified Ludwig Von Bertalanffy (1968) General System Theory conceptual framework was used in this study. The tools used for the study were demographic performa and Structured knowledge questionnaire. The analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired �t� test and chi square test. Result: The present study showed that in selected demographic variables, maximum number of adolescent girls i.e. 50(83.3%) were in the age group of 17-19 years and 55 i.e 91.6% have no family history of PCOD where 5 (8.3)% have family history of PCOD. All 100% of the samples have 21 � 35 days menstruation cycle and 50(83.3%) have history of dysmennorhea. Among the samples 27(45%) of the adolescent girls previous source of information is from family members, where 23(38.3%)is from health personnel and 10(16.6% )from mass media. The result revealed that in pre test 71.6% of adolescent girls have inadequate knowledge and 28.3% of the adolescent girls have adequate knowledge Where in the post test 100% have adequate knowledge. So, post-test score remain higher than the pre-test knowledge score. TABLE 1: Mean, Standard deviation, Mean difference and t value of pre-test and post- test knowledge scores. N=60 Sl. No Knowledge Mean SD Mean t-value Df Inference Score difference 1. Pre-test 10.4 1.23 2. Post-test 17.5 1.18 7.18 41.4* 59 S * S = Significant at P<0.05 level of significance The data presented in table 1 shows that the mean pre test knowledge score(17.5) is higher than the mean pre test knowledge score(10.4) and the difference between the pre-test and post-test score is 7.18. Thus the calculated value is greater than the tabulated value and hence null hypothesis (H01) is rejected and the research hypothesis is accepted i.e. there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge score on polycystic ovarian disease. This indicates that the structured teaching programme on polycystic ovarian disease was effective in improving the knowledge of adolescent girls. The result of chi-square analysis revealed that there is significant association between pre test knowledge with selected demographic variables such as family history of PCOD and history of dysmenorrheal and not significant with the age, regularity of cycle and previous source of information Thus the null hypothesis H02 and research hypothesis H2 is accepted. Conclusion: The study revealed that was the structured teaching programme on polycystic ovarian disease is effective among the adolescent girls. The recommendations suggested were, a similar study can be done by utilizing other teaching strategies and can be undertaken on a large scale.

 Abstract

In agriculture field, farmers are facing many problems, but the one major problem here is to know which type of soil is suitable for cultivating plants. So we are doing this project to show digitally, which type of soil is helps to grow the plants to increase the yield. The major aim of this research is to use color sensor for the detection of NPK, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) level in soil. A color sensor is used to measure and to detect the presence of NPK content of soil. The color sensor�s photodiode is designed to decide the amount of additional contents of these nutrients that has to be added into the soil to increase soil richness and fertility. The color sensor is implemented as a nutrition detection sensor which consists of four LEDs as light source and a photodiode as a light detector. Color of soil is changed with the help of capsule. The light from LEDs falls on soil mixture and reflected back after absorption. The TCS3200 color sensor is associated with 8*8 arrays of photodiodes with four different filters. By selecting the photodiode filter�s readings, able to find the intensity of the various colors. The nutrient absorbs the light from LED and the photodiode convert the remaining light that is reflected by reflector (sample) to current. The color sensor has a current-to-frequency converter that converts the photodiode�s readings and results into square waveform with a frequency that is directly proportional to the light intensity of the chosen color. This frequency is then, read by the Arduino uno. The output from the color sensor is converted to digital readable form. Then LCD display shows which growth is suitable for the tested soil by comparing output with database. Keywords: Color Sensor, NPK, LED, photodiode, wifi module.

Ayurveda has described Ardita under eighty Vataj Nanatmaja Vyadhi which is characterised by Mukhavakrata, Vakasanga, Shirokampa, Grivachibukadanta Vedana and Netravikriti. On the basis of these features Ardita can be correlated with Bell�s palsy, a lower motor neuron disorder of facial nerve. In the present study a Hindu male patient aged 20years presented with typical features of Bell�s palsy and was registered for the study. Patient was treated according to the treatment of Ardita given in Ayurvedic classics. Nasya with Kshirabala taila, Tarpana with Jeevantyadi Ghrita, Karnapoorana with Ksheer- Bala Taila and Shiropichu with Rasanaadi taila were done along with oral drugs for 28 days. Assessment criteria was adopted on the basis of House Brackmann�s grading for Facial Paralysis. Patient had 100% relief in wide palpebral aperture, smiling sign, nasolabial folds, dribbling of saliva, forehead frowning and trapping of food between cheeks and teeth. No side-effects of medicines or procedure were observed during and after the treatment.

 Abstract

Nowadays information is available to our electronic gadgets. The one thing that concerns us is how to make tasks faster and easier. The product is similar to a regular mirror that can display weather reports, temperature, time and daily news. Raspberry pi stays at the back scene and controls the data displayed on the mirror while the LED display that is placed behind the two way mirror can serve various applications. Our proposed system allows us to build such mirrors that allow for mirrors to receive news online and display it on the mirror screen along with other details including current temperature from an open weather platform for a futuristic and modern lifestyle. Our system uses a raspberry pi based processor board along with displays that are interfaced together. We use a precisely modelled panel to construct the outer frame. Then we use specialized glass with a back frame to encase the system. The frame cavity is now fitted with precisely positioned mounts for the display housing to be fitted in the mirror. This is necessary to achieve the desired effect. Now we use raspberry pi to connect with the internet using an IOT circuit through the use of a Wi-Fi module. This allows us to receive data through the IOT platform.
