The basic food of infant is mother's milk is the most effective way to provide a baby with a carrying environment and complete food. It meets the nutritional as well as emotional and psychological needs of the infant. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of information booklet regarding breast-feeding techniques among primipara mothers. Methods: The research approach adopted for this study was quantitative approach. The research design selected for the study was pre- experimental one group pre & post-test design. Data was obtained from 100 primipara mothers. And sample was selected using Purposive sampling technique. Data was collected with the help of demographic Performa and structured questionnaire. Descriptive and Inferential statistics will be used to find out for analysis of data and the significant difference between the pre and post-test knowledge scores. Results: The mean post- test score 24.28 more than mean pre- test score 11.8. And SD pre- test is 2.348 more than post- test SD 3.71. and mean percentage post- test score 80.93% more than mean pre- test score 39.33%.Conclusion:The study concluded that informational booklet was effective in increasing the knowledge scores of the primipara mothers regarding breast feeding technique
Portal requirement for senior citizens based on conceptual knowledge sharing framework
No full textThis paper aims to investigate common problems faced by senior citizens while using computer
technologies. It also aims to identify the most popular computer technologies used among this community in order to develop a web based knowledge sharing portal. The literature is reviewed and the Knowledge Sharing Framework is discussed as a guide. The paper finds that specific computer technology requirement and suitable content of a web portal that suits senior citizens is essential so that the older generation who see computers and new technology as what they have the potential to be-a tool for expanding their horizons, learning new skills and finding new interests. The paper has real and immediate practical benefits for senior citizens and the Social Welfare Department in that it provides a guide for knowledge sharing among this community. This will result in bridging the communication gap among this community. For future research, it is suggested that the study about the content of a web portal and the design guidelines analysis of the portal
Dayal Kaur Khalsa: The art of remembering
No full textIn the space of three years in the late eighties, Dayal Kaur Khalsa wrote and illustrated a series of picture books that constitute a visual (auto)biography. In these books, Khalsa explores the meaning and reliability of memory, and the importance of family context in life history. By evoking popular culture and its artifacts in her illustrations, Khalsaprovides afully realised, time-specific world for her character May to inhabit. Furthermore, through the device of self- referential visual quotations, by means of which characters and settings reappear from book to book, Khalsa creates a form of "visual intertextuality" unique in the canon of Canadian picture books.Peer reviewedfinal article publishe
Rupi Kaur: Women’s Writing Tradition in Translation
No full textThis paper will present a brief background of the author, Rupi Kaur, and her artistic work, focusing in her poetry. The book approached is Honey and Milk, and it will be analysed though the feminist criticism theory of Elaine Showalter in order to discuss the poetry of Kaur in the context of the third phase of women’s writing. To achieve that, this paper will discuss some selected poetry and some details about the translation of the book to the Portuguese Brazilian language and the rewriting entailed in the process of translation
Determination and potential importance of diterpene (kaur-16-ene) emitted from dominant coniferous trees in Japan
No full textReactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to affect atmospheric chemistry. Biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) have a significant impact on regional air quality due to their large emission rates and high reactivities. Diterpenes (most particularly, kaur-16-ene) were detected in all of the 205 enclosure air samples collected over multiple seasons at two different sites from Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa trees, the dominant coniferous trees in Japan,. The emission rate of kaur-16-ene, was determined to be from 0.01 to 7.1 μg dwg^[-1] h^[-1] (average: 0.61 μg dwg^[-1] h^[-1]) employing branch enclosure measurements using adsorbent sampling followed by solid phase-liquid extraction techniques. The emission rate was comparable to that of monoterpenes, which is known major BVOC emissions, collected from the same branches. In addition, total emission of kaur-16-ene at 30℃ was estimated to exceed that of total anthropogenic VOC emissions

A randomized control study comparing outcomes in student nurses who utilize video during simulation debriefing as compared to those who utilize traditional debriefing
No full textClinical placement sites for nursing students have become limited around the country. An alternative teaching strategy must be employed to allow for students to gain valuable knowledge and skills. High fidelity human patient simulation is one such strategy that allows students to safely practice nursing interventions in a controlled environment using a scenario. Students participate in groups and may be video recorded for replay during the debriefing session, the most essential learning element of the simulation session. Students watching a video recording of their participation in the scenario allow them to reflect on their own actions to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. The research question for this study was the following: what are the effects of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral debriefing on student outcomes (clinical judgment, self-confidence, learner satisfaction scores with simulation and learner satisfaction scores with the simulation facilitator) of associate degree nursing students in their second year of nursing school? A randomized control design was employed to test the research question using a sample of 74 students. Students were randomized into either a video assisted debriefing group and an oral assisted debriefing group. The debriefing sessions were structured for each group with the only difference being the video assisted debriefing group watched the recording of their videotaped simulation session. Results included higher self-reported clinical judgment, learner satisfaction scores with the simulation, and learner satisfaction with the debriefing facilitator. Findings from this study support the use of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral assisted debriefing after a simulation session. Debriefing should be a highly structured part of simulation allowing for students to learn and develop important cognitive and behavioral skills. Video debriefing is an important component of simulation that allows for improved student outcomes.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Tresa Kaur Dusa
