 Abstract

This study aims to comprehend the disparities and causes associated with secondary school dropouts in Odisha as a result of COVID-19. Due to the pandemic, the school dropout rate in rural and tribal areas of Odisha, especially among underprivileged children, has soared at an unprecedented rate. Despite the State Government's implementation of online education for students it is difficult for rural and tribal students to participate in e-learning due to the lack of access to mobile phones, internet connections and electricity. In addition, the precarious financial situation of parents due to the pandemic has been cited as one of the leading causes of student absenteeism. The situation is worsening among the students of ST and SC communities of Odisha, where the dropout rate is considerably high.

 Abstract

Cancer is a disease with symptoms of un retained cells in one of the body organs or tissues. Cancer is the second largest killer disease. Globally non communicable diseases accounted for 71 percent of total deaths. In India a non communicable deaths where estimated to account for 33 percentage of all deaths and cancer was one of the leading causes.(9 percentage). Methodology A Quasi experimental study has been carried out in Chidambaram town, Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu to assess the knowledge on Cancer prevention among Adolescent girls studying in 8th, 9th and 11th standards using purposive sampling technique .100 adolescent girls were selected and the selected girls were asked to complete the self administered questionnaire to get the demographic data and knowledge on cancer. Educational intervention was carried out to create awareness on prevention of cancer. Results revealed that most of the adolescents had inadequate knowledge (pretest mean score knowledge 49.6) and educational intervention was effective in improving the knowledge on prevention of cancer (mean posttest is knowledge score 97.8). Conclusion Generating awareness is the most important aspect of the Cancer control program hence, the awareness created by the educational intervention will significantly improve the knowledge of adolescent girls in the prevention of cancer.

 Abstract

A review of non-destructive testing (NDT) procedures for the assessment of composites is given. The review takes into account the capabilities of the most popular techniques used in composite NDT applications, including Visual Testing (VT or VI), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Thermography, Radiographic Testing (RT), Electromagnetic Testing (ET), Acoustic Emission (AE), and Shearography Testing, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of each technique. Additional techniques are categorised based on their inherent qualities and applicability. Typically, an NDT evaluator performs the evaluation using just one non-destructive test method. Using just one test technique is allowed if the scope of the job is simple. A mixture of several test methods is necessary because there are situations when a single test method does not give sufficient information about the material integrity Following that, approaches were grouped according to their inherent qualities and applicability. Non-destructive testing is frequently used in power plants, the aerospace, nuclear, military, and defence industries, as well as storage tank inspection, pipe and tube inspection, and the characterisation of composite flaw. The extent of NDT use for composite materials is the primary emphasis of this paper.

 Abstract

Despite number of initiatives for improving living conditions of the tribals, the progress is not up to the mark. The forests are depleting at faster rate, though the government records do not reflect the reality at ground level. These forests are in no way sustaining food requirements of forest dwellers through their traditional means of hunting and gathering. Mostly they are dependent on agriculture either as cultivators or agriculture labourers. They are malnourished, poor, largely illiterate and rank miserably low in all sorts of health indicators despite of their wealth of traditional knowledge of keeping healthy. Their literacy levels are not adequate to compete with the general population and at the same time they decline to do any work in their native places. In this paper, an attempt is made to bring out general economic conditions, health issues and role of NGOs. Some of these issues are discussed based on two research works: one on Yerukula tribe, a Dispersed Tribal Group (DTG) inhibiting in Prakasam, Nellore and Chittoor districts of Andhra Pradesh and a baseline survey (for CARE-STEP) of tribes inhibiting in jungles in North coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh.

The present paper focuses on preservice teacher's perspectives towards e learning. Now days, the education system is getting much closer with e learning. After Covid pandemic, e learning, online education, digital education are becoming the common words. Though , the world is returning on its track, the education system has got a new avenue in terms of e learning. Ranging from schools o professional institutions, everyone is now acquainted with the concept of e learning. So research undertook this research to study the perspectives of Preservice Teacher Education Students towards e learning. In conclusion researcher stated that, most of the students of teacher education has well developed perspective towards e learning and they are looking positively and also keeping themselves engaged in acquiring new skills required for e learning.

This study applies queuing theory to hospital management. The purpose of this study is to describe and categorize issues of urgency in medical cases with respect to patient allocation issues. It employs first-come-first-served, queue-discipline, Poisson arrival of patients and exponential service time, first-come-first-served, queue-discipline. A queue model used to estimate patient wait times, service consumption, model system design, and reservation system ratings. A queuing system helps minimize patient wait times and reduce server load. H. Doctors, nurses, hospital beds, etc. Queues are not new, but hospitals have recently started using them effectively.

This paper explores the challenges of project logistics in global maritime supply chains. Project logistics refers to the planning, coordination, and execution of complex transportation projects, such as the shipment of oversized or high-value goods. In the context of global maritime supply chains, project logistics can pose significant challenges due to factors such as varying regulations, cultural differences, and the need for specialized equipment and expertise. The paper discusses these challenges in detail and offers potential solutions for overcoming them, including the use of technology and collaboration between stakeholders. The findings of this paper can be valuable for companies and organizations involved in global maritime supply chains who are seeking to optimize their project logistics operations.
