 Abstract

: Terrorism is the most tinder trouble of the world now days. It caused the sentiment of insecurity among the society in contravention of the advancement in technology. Despite the fact that the configuration of the blast and the loads caused by it cannot be expected ideal pursuits can be made to mitigate the outcomes of the blast. Due to progress in technology and introduction of finite elements software now it is possible to get to a credible finding. The analysis and design of structures subjected to blast loads require a detailed understanding of blast phenomena and the dynamic response of various structural elements. The study is made to grasp the properties of blast wave by forecasting the blast wave parameters for various charge amounts placed at various distances. The outcome of TNT (trinitrotoluene) explosive on a column foundation for various amount of TNT charge at various distances is investigated for model buildings of various floors and represented in this paper.

 Abstract

The study aimed to appraise Nigeria�s response to curb the spread of COVID-19 and identify response gaps. The study employed content analysis to evaluate Nigeria�s responses in four major areas covering public health response, physical distancing measures, social protection interventions, fiscal and monetary policy interventions. Several issues and challenges were highlighted which if not resolved may thwart government efforts to curb the spread of the virus disease. It was recommended that the apex bank should inject more funds into the economy especially the facility targeting MSMEs and households who are vulnerable to increase the number that may benefit from the fund to improve their wellbeing and stimulate economic activities. Also, the Nigerian authorities should ensure transparency in the management of COVID-19 cases and funds donated towards the fight against COVID-19 to engender trust and increase access of palliatives to the vulnerable in the country. The government should increase testing capacities and provide sufficient protection to frontline health workers. The use of social workers and non-governmental organization volunteers to support health workers in contact tracing and management of infected patients will help free capacity. The adoption of digital contact tracing to augment the manual contact tracing is advocated especially at this time that the government has started easing lockdown. Collaborating with other stakeholders such as civil society, including community organizations and self-help groups, and the private sector among others, governments can lead the way by developing policies and initiation of sustainable actions to put an end or at least reduce significantly the incidence of the spread and impact of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

 Abstract

General concern about stuttering has increased recently especially in countries like India. This study focuses on �The perception of stuttering among preschool and primary school teachers in Chennai, India.� It was investigated through stuttering awareness questionnaires provided to schools in and around Chennai and documenting results completed by 155 teachers. Based on the results of the study; teachers are aware that the environment plays a vital role in stammering and the children with stuttering (CWS) have the potential to overcome the condition. They did not agree that CWS were quiet and shy. All teachers reported a limited experience of handling CWS, but their responses indicated a desire to do their best to support such children in the classroom. Knowledge about stuttering was, however , considered to be less important to teachers working with specific learning disabilities.

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.
