 Abstract

This study aims to assess the "Impact of life skills training on Mental Health Status and well-being of young people: Does gender matter"? A classical experimental research design with control group and random sampling method was used. The population comprises 720 adolescents (both girls and boys - 16 to 19 yrs) from six higher secondary schools. Data collection was done in three time lines: pre, post and follow-up intervention. Standard tools administered to evaluate the mental health status and well-being was: GHQ-28 and WEMWS-14.The result showed that there was highly significant intervention effect between the scores. Though, the base line scores of mental health status are better for males compared to females, the mental well-being score is almost the same for males and females. The result of the average post-intervention scores of mental health status and mental well-being is better in females compared to males.

 Abstract

Drowsiness among drivers is the main reason for road accidents every year in India. Many of the drivers, especially the heavy vehicle drivers will drive mostly at early morning. The lack of sleep from five to eight hours is one of the main reasons for drowsiness. Drowsiness can imbalance the reaction time and decision making skills of drivers and this can increase the cause of road accidents. These accidents are more likely to result in death or severe injuries, as they tend to be in high speed and the driver in drowsiness state can�t able to apply the break. Hence it is essential to create a smart system that will detect and alert the state of the driver while driving. Although there are few solutions available for this system, Most of them remain only in theory and not implemented practically in real time system. In this paper, we propose an efficient drowsiness detection and alert system mainly using camera. This system is implemented in real time and the results are more accurate when compared to the other existing systems.

 Abstract

Good research practice suggests that we should begin by defining our terms. The Oxford Concise dictionary defines research as a, the systematic investigation into and study of materials, sources, etc, in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions and an endeavour to discover new or collate old facts etc. by the scientific study of a subject or by a course of critical investigation. This definition is useful because it immediately focuses upon the systematic nature of research. In other words, the very meaning of the term implies a research method. Computing science is an immature discipline. This has brought startling advances in both hardware and software engineering. Unfortunately the development of computing technology has not been matched by a similar development in academic research techniques.

 Abstract

Targeted drug delivery, additionally referred to as good drug delivery, could be a methodology of treatment that involves the increase in medicinal drug in one or few body elements as compared to others. Two strategies are widely used for drug targeting to the specified organ/tissue: passive targeting and active targeting. Drug delivery vehicles transport the drug either at intervals or within the locality of target. An ideal drug delivery vehicle is meant to cross even stubborn sites like a blood brain barrier. Recently, nano medicine has emerged because the medical application of nanotechnology. Since nanoparticles are very tiny in size, nano drug delivery can allow for the delivery of drugs with poor solubility in water and additionally aid in avoiding the primary pass metabolism of liver. Nanotechnology derived drug delivery will cause the drug to stay in blood circulation for a protracted time, thereby resulting in lesser fluctuations in plasma levels and so, token facet effects. These include polymer-drug conjugates and nano particulate systems such as liposome�s, quantum dots, dendrimers, etc. There are several other approaches as well. These also include the strategies wherein the therapeutic agents are coupled with �targeting ligands� that possess the ability to recognize antigens associated with tumors.

 Abstract

The study investigated peer victimization and personality traits as predictors of social phobia among secondary school adolescents in Port Harcourt Metropolis. Four research questions and four corresponding null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The participants in the study were 448 (males = 166, female = 282) adolescents drawn from public secondary school in Rivers State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to draw the sample of the study. Three instruments titled: Peer Victimization Scale (PVC); Five Factor Model Personality Scale (Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) (NEO-PR-I) and Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) were used for collection of data in the study. The reliability indices of the instruments were estimated using the Cronbach Alpha method of internal consistency with coefficient values of; Peer Victimization Scale r=.86 Personality traits Scale r=.76, the sub-scale (OCEAN) with the values of (.62, .69, .68, .73, .78) and social phobia inventory r=.89 respectively. The descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and multiple regression were used to answer research questions while two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA); ANOVA and t-test associated with multiple regression were used to test hypotheses. The tenability of all the null hypotheses was tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The result revealed that, Peer victimization, gender and personality traits significantly predict social phobia but peer victimization based on gender and location agreeableness and conscientiousness had no significant prediction on social phobia. Openness to experience and neuroticism had a positive independent prediction while extraversion had a negative independent prediction on social phobia. Based on these findings recommendation were made.

Bricks are the major concern building material used for constructional purpose. In earlier day�s mud blocks & in now a day clay bricks are being used. In the manufacturing of clay bricks the Carbon dioxide emission is more, since they are burned and the clay is exhausting. More than 300 million tons of industrial waste per annum in India mainly by chemical & industrial waste. Waste water treatment sludge is a type of waste obtained by industries. Paper pulp residue dominated during manufacturing of paper. Disposal of these waste into the environment causes land pollution. Many attempts have been made to overcome these problems. So the industrial waste materials & by products are used in the manufacturing of bricks. Here we have incorporated hypo sludge & the paper pulp residue along with fly ash, lime, quarry dust & gypsum to manufacture the bricks. The bricks are made without burning, Carbon dioxide emission is controlled. Hype sludge & paper pulp residue are randomly added at different percentages and the tests are conducted & the optimum percentage is obtained from the results. This attempt will be a better solution for the pollution problem
