 Abstract

B-Ride is a novel ride-sharing system that employs public blockchain technology to preserve the privacy of its users. The proposed system aims to address the privacy concerns of traditional ride-sharing platforms, which require users to disclose their personal information and travel history to a centralized entity. B-Ride leverages the transparency and immutability of blockchain to facilitate secure and decentralized ride-sharing without compromising user privacy. The B-Ride system uses a smart contract to execute the ride-sharing process, which ensures the authenticity of the transaction and the privacy of user data. The smart contract automates the matching of riders with drivers, the payment process, and the provision of feedback. The system also incorporates a reputation-based mechanism to incentivize good behavior and enhance the trustworthiness of the platform. B-Ride uses a public blockchain to ensure transparency and accountability, allowing users to verify the integrity of the system and the accuracy of the information. The use of a public blockchain also eliminates the need for a central authority, which reduces the risk of data breaches and enhances the security of user data. In summary, B-Ride provides a privacy-preserving ride-sharing solution that leverages the power of public blockchain technology. The proposed system addresses the shortcomings of traditional ride-sharing platforms by offering a decentralized, transparent, and secure platform that prioritizes user privacy.

 Abstract

"An Experimental study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Rhythmic Breathing Technique Upon Pain Perception Among Patients During Venipuncture At Vidya Hospital Raipur, Chhattisgarh." Pain is a subjective experience which can be understood by others only by the verbal expression of the person experiencing the pain. Pain is also manifested by behavioral and physiological responses. Breathing is an effective source of pain control because it releases muscle tension, relaxes the mind and allows the brain to focus away from pain. Modulation of pain The modulation of pain involves changing or inhibiting transmission of pain impulses in the spinal cord. A relaxation technique (also known as relaxation training) is any method, process, procedure, or activity that helps a person to relax; to attain a state of increased calmness; or otherwise reduce levels of anxiety, stress or anger. Relaxation techniques are often employed as one element of a wider stress management program and can decrease muscle tension, lower the blood pressure and slow heart and breathe rates, among other health benefits. Pain receptors are present everywhere in the body, especially the skin, surfaces of the joints, periosteum, walls of the arteries, and certain structures in the skull. Other organs, such as the gut and muscles, have fewer pain receptors. It is interesting to note that the brain itself does not have any pain receptors at all, and is therefore insensitive to pain. The process of nociception describes the normal processing of pain and the responses to noxious stimuli that are damaging or potentially damaging to normal tissue. There are four basic processes involved in nociception. The investigator felt to identify, The Effectiveness of Rhythmic Breathing Technique on Pain Perception among Patients Undergoing Venipuncture at Vidya Hospital, Raipur Chhattisgarh.
