Fabrication of automatic screw jack

The lead screw is used to convert rotary motion into translation motion. The screw jack is a device used for lifting the load with the application of small force. The mechanical advantage of screw jack is the ratio of the load applied to the effort applied. The screw jack is operated by turning a lead screw of jack. The effort required to operate the screw is eliminated by using 12 V DC Motor. The motor operates by 12V DC power supply which is drawn from the vehicle battery itself. The rotary motion transfer from the motor to lead screw through worm gear drive. The driver gear (pinion) located on the motor shaft and the driven gear located on the lead screw causes to transfer rotary motion.

Developing islanding detection arrangement for the grid on sensing voltage or frequency variation

As the power grid failure problems continue to persist in the country, need arises to make it more efficient and effective. This is a demonstration devised to provide such kind of a system that could detect the failure in the synchronous working of the power grid in case any external supply source that is supplying to the grid is encountering any kind of abnormalities may be in current levels, voltage levels, temperature, and oil level. There are various generation units that usually supply power to the grids such as thermal plants, solar plants, hydroelectric plants etc. All the generation units that connect to the grid have to obey the rules or standards laid down for the operation of a grid. These rules involve maintaining of voltage variation, current variation, oil-level variation and temperature variation within these specified limits. If there are any kind of abnormalities or deviations from the acceptable limits laid down by the grid, it then gets crucial that the particular feeding source should get automatically disconnected from the entire grid temporarily, this process is widely termed islanding. This would prevent large-scale occurrences of events of blackouts. Hence it would be beneficial and wise if we could have a system that would be so efficient that it could issue intimations about the potential variations in the arrangements and in addition provide the exact distance of the fault location on a feeder line from the base grid and keep the particular source temporarily on a standby basis while this process takes place. Variation of the system voltage should be around +-5% as per central electricity authority of India Regulations, 2010. This paper is an approach to devising out a system that helps the grid resolve problems related to black out situations hence making it a smart grid.

India is growing in the medical world and patients from different parts of the world are coming to India for treatment. This is possible only when the hospitals are maintaining the standards. In the past few years, there has been great pressure to improve the quality of nursing care in India. Because nurses are integral part of the hospital and play a great role in patient care, a need is always felt to make improvement in nursing practice. To provide safe, competent care nurse needs to have clinical judgment, the right attitude, good communication skills, and knowledge regarding care. Through following the standards of accreditation, a nurse can ensure cost-effective care to clients as well as hospital value in the market also will be enhanced. METHODOLOGY A descriptive study to assess the knowledge and attitude of staff nurses regarding Quality Assurance of NABH was conducted 300 staff nurses were selected trough non-probability convenience sampling method to participate in this study. The tools used for data collection were proforma for personal variables to assess the sample characteristics, structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the level of knowledge and attitude scale to assess the level of attitude. All tools were validated by experts and reliability was established using split-half method for structured knowledge questionnaire and test-retest method for attitude scale and the tool was reliable. The pilot study was conducted and study is found to be feasible. RESULTS The analysis of the data was based on the objectives and hypothesis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Findings of the personal variables showed that majority 198 (66%) staff nurses were in the age group of 22-30years, majority 225 (75%) staff nurses were females, majority 261 (87%) staff nurses have their qualification as GNM, majority 124 (43%) staff nurses were working in wards, majority 140 (47%) staff nurses have 1-5 years of working experience, majority 146 (47%) staff nurses were working as junior staff nurse, majority 169 (56%) staff nurses not attended workshop or conference regarding NABH. The study result shows that majority of the subjects 214(71%) have an average knowledge and majority of the subjects 175(58%) have the positive attitude regarding Quality Assurance of NABH. The study revealed that significant correlation between knowledge and attitude scores [r= 0.130, r (298) = 0.095 p>0.05]. Chi-square was computed and there is an association between the level of knowledge (χ2 (2) = 5.59, p>0.05*) and attitude (χ2 (1) = 3.84, p>0.05*) with their selected personal variables like educational qualification. DISCUSSION Sound knowledge and a positive attitude regarding Quality Assurance of NABH among the staff nurses is very important for improvement of quality patient care.

Impact of tourism on energy consumption in India

Tourism has been a rapidly growing industry in the recent years but it comes not only with the increased revenues but also with a quite lot of negative impacts on the environment. In order to curb the increasing pressure on the natural resources, the concept of Sustainable Tourism and Ecotourism has been introduced across the globe. India has been receiving an increasing footfall of tourists in the recent years including domestic and international. The government has realized this fact and has decided to take up adequate measures in order to raise awareness not only amongst the tourists but also the local people to conserve the natural habitat and environment sensitive areas, natural resources and the heritage and culture of the tourist destinations. Energy is an important component of the economies to develop but extreme exploitation of energy resources do have repercussions on the growth of an emerging economy. Hence this paper aims to study the impact of tourists (domestic and international), population and steel industry on the energy consumption.

Use of Health Information Technology (HIT) to improve urban health services: an innovative approach to augment and revitalize urban health centers of Dehradun

Urbanization has risen exponentially in Dehradun after the creation of Uttarakhand state on 9th November 2000 and Dehradun city was declared the interim capital of the state. Rapid urbanization has led to the sudden surge of migrants, expansion of the city boundaries, vast rise in slum populations and urban poverty, which have correspondingly thrown multiple challenges for managing health services and its determinants, comprising water, sanitation, waste disposal, Communicable and Non-communicable diseases, Trauma, Drugs & Alcohol abuse, Domestic violence, etc. Despite the immediacy of urban poor to urban health facilities, their access to facilities is badly confined and the urban poor are more vulnerable and worse off than their rural counterpart because of inadequacy in the urban health delivery system, ineffective outreach, and weak referral system, which are multiplied further by lack of standards and norms for the urban health facilities. Raised catastrophic out of pocket expenses has evaporated the earnings of the poor people, residing in the outskirt and slums of the city. Recognizing the seriousness of the problem, National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) was launched as a separate mission in years 2013 with an objective of improving the health status of the urban poor particularly slum dwellers and other marginalized sections. In line with the objective, Uttarakhand Health & Family Welfare Department is running 39 UHC (Urban Health Centers) in four districts of the state. This paper briefly outlines an action plan for revitalized, revamp existing urban health services in District Dehradun with use of Health Information Technology.

Question paper generating system

In the present age, the instruction is the most critical method for making progress. When we talk about training, it is basic to say tests and examination. Examinations plan understudies in their mission for learning. Along these lines, having a legitimate examination paper and configuration is very essential. Presently the customary strategy for creating question paper has been manual. In this technique, certain authorities chalk out the inquiry paper. In any case, this strategy can be insufficient now and again attributable to inclination, reiteration and security concerns. We have proposed a computerized procedure of Question Paper Age which is quick, streamlined, randomized and secure. Each errand performed by this framework is mechanized with the goal that storage room, inclination, and security isn't a worry any longer. Besides, we have proposed another calculation which guarantees add up to randomization of inquiries and stays away from reiterations. The proposed framework can be useful to numerous instructive establishments and NGO based organizations.
