ABSTRACT
Country's economic progress rely on the energy which acts as key for development. The energy consumption is on a large scale because of expeditive growth of industries, increased vehicular usage and domestic consumers. The energy produced by fossil fuel causes air pollution which increase the global temperature. To reduce the carbon footprint is a challenging task to conserve the environment. Therefore, people look out for alternative energy sources for power production. In spite of COVID pandemic the energy source which has a rapid growth in last few years is renewable energy sources The developing countries are trying to overwhelm issues relating to generation of power using these conventional energy sources. Solar and wind meet the demand desideratum with the help of converters and controllers. Among these renewable resources most feasible is solar photovoltaic power, because of its unique features such as no rotating parts, doesn't expel any harmful gases, mobility, noiseless that is eco-friendly in nature. Since PV depends on unalterable factors such as irradiance, temperature it suffers from stability, conversion efficiency etc. For extracting maximum power from PV DC-DC converters play a vital role. The converters must have the capability to boost the voltage, reduce ripples and must be stable to meet the needs of Photo Voltaic array - PV Array. Its performance can be further improved by integrating converter with Maximum power point tracking technique. In case of Wind energy system converter must have the capability to have control over reactive power, reduced harmonics, reactive compensation issues. This paper analyses and proposes best converter for PV system that has high gain. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The notion of hygiene is built on the relationship between cleanliness and the maintenance of good health. Hand washing technique is the rubbing together of all parts of the hands, including all the clefts using soap and water. Hand hygiene is the first step in preventing cross-transmission of microorganisms, which can help in prevention of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). The entire world is in fact, emphasizing the importance of hand wash for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic. The germs causing infection in a health care setting can be transmitted through contaminated hands. Health care-associated pathogens can be acquired from any source, mainly from infected or draining wounds, patients' skin, aprons they wear, mattresses they use, bedside furniture and other objects in the immediate environment of the patient. Organisms such as S. aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella spp., Acinetobacter spp., Enterococci, play an important role in HAIs. Although hand hygiene procedures are relatively simple, several studies have mentioned that health care workers do not adhere to this properly. Poor hand hygiene compliance has been one of the leading contributory factors to Health Care Acquired Infections (HCAIs). Reasons for low hand hygiene adherence include location of sinks in an inconvenient place, tight work schedule, reluctance as well as lack of role models and not being aware of implementation guidelines. Aim: To analyze the awareness of hand hygiene among health care workers in a hospital set-up for infection control. The goal of the study is to get a better insight of and explore the knowledge and awareness on hand hygiene among health care workers in a tertiary care hospital.
ABSTRACT
Recently the world has come across a pandemic disease known as covid-19. The presence of symptoms of covid-19 and pneumonia may be alike to other types of lung illnesses. So, because of this, it is difficult for the affected person or medical experts to identify the condition. Chest x-ray provides general orientation which can be an initial investigative study in the analysis of lung diseases. Information from retenogram studies help the finding of covid-19 and pneumonia affecting the lungs. We use a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) in Tensor Flow and Keras based covid-19, pneumonia classification. The best fit model of CNN is then deployed in the Django framework for providing a better user interface and predicting the output.
ABSTRACT
The notion of hygiene is built on the relationship between cleanliness and the maintenance of good health.Hand washing technique is the rubbing together of all parts of the hands, including all the clefts using soapand water. Hand hygiene is the first stepin preventing cross-transmission of microorganisms,which can help in prevention of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). The entire world is in fact, emphasizing the importance of hand wash for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic. The germs causing infection in a health care setting can be transmitted through contaminated hands. Health care-associated pathogens can be acquired from any source, mainly from infected or draining wounds,patients' skin,aprons they wear, mattresses they use, bedside furniture and other objects in the immediate environment of the patient. Organisms such as S. aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella spp., Acinetobacter spp., Enterococci, play an important role in HAIs. Although hand hygiene procedures are relatively simple,several studies have mentioned that health care workers do not adhere to this properly. Poor hand hygiene compliance has been one of the leading contributory factors to Health Care Acquired Infections (HCAIs). Reasons for low hand hygiene adherence include location of sinks in an inconvenient place, tight work schedule, reluctance as well as lack of role models and not being aware of implementation guidelines. Aim: To analyze the awareness of hand hygiene among health care workers in a hospital set-up for infection control. The goal of the study is to get a better insight of and explore the knowledge and awareness on hand hygiene among health care workers in a tertiary care hospital. Objective: To find out the lacunae in hand hygiene and to formulate and take measures to prevent HAIs and multidrug-resistant pathogens. Methods: The study was done through a self-administered questionnaire. Results: A total of 134 people participated which included 75 doctors(56%), 38 nurses (28.4%), 11 lab technicians (8.2%) and others(7.4%). The overall response was good. Both the nurses and doctors had adequate knowledge about hand hygiene. However, the nurses had better knowledge regarding the steps of hand wash (78.9%) and the disposal of biomedical waste(94.7%). The knowledge about hand hygiene and biomedical waste management was better among nurses and lab technicians. Conclusion: Most health professionals had adequate knowledge about hand hygiene. However, they did not have adequate practice of hand washing which can be initiated with effective training. Antimicrobial soap should be available and should be easily accessible for routine hand wash in all patient care areas to improve hand hygiene and to prevent hospital acquired infections. © 2020 This is an Open Access article licensed under a Creative Commons license: Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY).

ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic it is a public health emergency declared by WHO and itis a major cause of concern for the healthcare profession. The present study is being conducted to assess the knowledge regarding COVID-19 Pandemic among student Nurses. A cross sectional survey by Using Online Google forms study was conducted. Non probability Convenient Sampling technique was used. The tool used for the study comprises of two sections. Section A comprises of demographic data and Section B comprises of structured questionnaire to assess the Knowledge regarding COVID-19 Pandemic among student Nurses which includes 25 questions. The data was collected and analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics A structured questionnaire comprised of 25 questions developed by investigators was administered to 213 student Nurses. Among the 213 student Nurses, majority 56.8% of them has adequate knowledge regarding the present global pandemic and 41.8% had moderately adequate knowledge. This study concludes that student Nurses adequate knowledge regarding COVID-19 pandemic.
