Abstract Background The adherence to diabetic drugs is a key issue to maintain the glucose levels in optimal limits and prevention of complications. The health care system cannot provide individual care to each patient due to paucity in resources. The problem with poor self management of diabetes despite improved technology is escalating the problem of diabetes related problems. This study was mainly taken up to study the rates and factors influencing the non adherence in a chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods A cross sectional study was undertaken for a period of three months in outpatient department of Basaveshwara Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Chitardurga. The patients were chosen randomly, and a predesigned and structured questionnaire was administered for the participants. The data thus obtained compiled and analysed using appropriate statistics.

The performance of the organization is directly impacted by level of Employees Commitment”. The “Emplo-yee Commitment” – Investors in People (IIP) Model was selected as the reference sample for this study. The IIP model emerged in UK and is being successfully implemented in the western countries. Lot of prior research has been carried out across the world on IIP however no research work is done to test the validity of this model in developing countries like Pakistan. As per IIP, the employee commitment is dependent variable of four independent variables i.e employee con-tribution recognition, support people development, equality of opportunities and encourages performance improvement. This study was based on the hypothesis that” IIP said employee commitment variables are secondary and tertiary motivators and are not workable in Pakistan unless primary needs of the employees are fulfilled”. The research study conducted in group of sample organizations comprising of multinational and local private organizations has confirmed the above hypo-thesis. The research findings concludes that “Fair and Equitable Compensation & Benefits”, Decent Work Environ-ment, and People Development are key elements for firing up Employee Commitment”, in developing countries like Pakistan. The research findings and recommendations will help local entrepreneurs to improve productivity; quality of output and retaining highly motivated and charged workforce committed to improve organizational performance.

The purpose of the present study was to find out the prevalence and psychological correlates of abnormal eating attitudes in female college students in the city of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Two hundred undergraduates with mean age 19.0 years from five premiere colleges affiliated to the University of Madras were administered the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, State Trait Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. Abnormal eating attitudes (EAT-26 score ≥ 20) were found in 30% of the total sample. Use of Pearson Correlation and independent t-test revealed that participants who had abnormal eating attitudes had scored higher levels of depression and higher levels of both state as well as trait anxiety than those with normal eating attitudes ( Eat-26 score <20 ). No significant correlation was found between low self esteem and abnormal eating attitudes. Further, abnormal eating was not related to weigh as assessed using the body mass index (BMI). The present findings indicate a substantial prevalence of abnormal eating attitudes among female college students and also abnormal eating attitudes related to psychological characteristics such as anxiety and depression. The above findings highlight the need for the attention of clinicians, community workers and psychologists to curtail the risk of increase in eating disorders among this population.

If the classroom teaching-learning practices are based on the learning style preferences of the learners of EFL/ESL, the language learning can take place effectively. However, in this regard learners’ learning style preferences have to match with teachers’ perceptions about the tasks and activities to be done in the classroom. In Bangladesh the classroom teaching-learning practices, which are now followed to teach English as a foreign language, are not based on proper investigation of learners’ learning style preferences. Consequently, expected results are not found from classroom teaching. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the learning style preferences of the EFL learners of Bangladesh and take appropriate measures accordingly. Taking this point in view, the present researcher has attempted to investigate the learning style preferences of the EFL students at higher secondary level and then provide some suggestions in the light of the findings.

With the advent of the super-tip gas field ion source very favourable conditions for generating ion nano-beams have been provided. The basic physical principles for this kind of source are described As a consequence of a very small source emittance of ε ~ 10-24 m2sr ultra-bright rare gas ion beams of about 1016 A/m2.sr can be produced. As a further consequence, very narrow probe sizes are obtainable, of dp< 1 nm, with spatial resolutions far below the classical limits of light-optics and even below the novel stimulated-emission-depletion microscopy [STED (microscopy) = stimulated emission depletion (microscopy)] Th. A. Klar, S. W. Hell, Opt.Lett. 24 (1999) 954-956]. Various ion-nanobeam applications are envisaged.

Introduction : Millions of women want to delay or avoid pregnancy but are not using contraception. Ethiopia has the highest levels of unmet need for family planning among African countries. The 2011 Ethiopia Demographic and Health survey found that 25.3 percent of women had unmet need for family planning, 16.3 % for spacing and 9 % for limiting. Thus, this study was designed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of unmet need for family planning in Enemay district, Nortwest Ethiopia. Methods : Community based comparative crosssectional study design was employed using multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected through interviewing married reproductive age women using semi-structured questionnaire. Data were entered and analyzed using Epi data version 3.1 and SPSS version 16 statistical software respectively. Results : The overall unmet need for family planning was 193 (25.6%) of which 119 (15.8%) was for spacing and 74 (9.8%) for limiting. It was 69 (18.4%) and 124 (32.7%) in urban and rural areas of the district respectively. Age at first marriage, educational status of the women and their partners, partner attitude towards family planning services utilization, current menstrual status, healthcare providers visit and discussion about family planning issues were the main predicting factors of unmet need for family planning. Conclusion : The overall prevalence of unmet need in the district was high. Empowering women through education and healthcare providers visit should be strengthened.

Sexual violence against women despite being highly condemned and goddamned in most places, why continues to be an alarmingly endemic and pandemic issue, raises a substantial gender query. This article explores an analytical connection between the inclusive interpretation of sex, gender and sexuality, on the one hand, and the actuality of human sexual violence, on the other. This study discloses that the masculine heterosexual and gender interpretation of sex and sexuality perpetuates such violence. The dimensions and factors for sexual abuse/ violence are structured and processed such ways that female gender is often desecrated by men, homosexuals or lesbians are despised by heterosexuals, and feminine submissiveness is violently abused by masculine aggressiveness in different social settings. To demystify the gendered activated stock-still violence against women a sexual exploitation/violence specific based on hetero and non-hetero sexual orientations in cross Figure format has been creatively endeavoured in this article. Our study also tresses that since sexual violence of basic nature going tougher/ complicated with newer individual findings/ interpretations at present context, the researchers have to develop a theoretical comprehensive perspective on the entire gospel of sexual violence against women that has been persisting across global regions, religions, race, etc.

Objective : To compare different nasal cavity nursing methods on mechanically ventilated patients. Methodology : According to acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEII), 615 cases of mechanically ventilated patients were divided into group A, group B and group C by stratified random method. Traditional oral nursing plus a secretions from oral cavity and nasal cavity q6h were done in group A. Based on methods in group A, normal saline was used for cleaning nasal cavity in group B. Besides the methods in group A, atomizing nasal cleansing a6h was also used in group C. Incidence rate of Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP) and APACHE II scores after administrating were compared. The correlation between APACHE II score and outcomes was analyzed by Spearmanrank correlation. Results : In group A, incidence of VAP was 36.76%, group B was 30.24%, group C was 20.38%, and the difference was statistically significant. APACHE II scores in group C were significantly lower compared with group A and B. APACHE II score was negatively correlated with clinical outcomes. Conclusions : For mechanically ventilated patients, nasal nursing can’t be ignored and the new atomizing nasal cleaning is an effective method for VAP prevention.
