The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of music and yogic breathing for the management and control of stress.
To discover the most effective stimuli to handle stress by measuring ...the effect of types of musical drills and yogic breathing on engineering students using the Galvanic Skin Response Sensor Meter (GSRSM).
The present study attempts to study the effectiveness of music and yoga drills for relieving and managing stress. The study used a stratified random sampling method selecting engineering students from four streams. The GSRSM was used as a tool to record the responses after 300 seconds for the experimental and the control groups of 200 students each. Each group was comprised of 52 females (26%) and 148 males (74%).
The experimental group reported reduction in mean value in Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) when they underwent deep yogic breathing, listened to religious hymns and listened to flute music.
On the basis of the results, the researchers suggest that all three techniques i.e practicing yogic breathing, listening to religious hymns and listening to flute music were effective in reducing the stress level of engineering students. Listening to flute music emerged from these three drills, as the most effective stimulus for stress management.
Stress relieving strategies (SRS) are quite significant to get rid of stress in engineering students.
The objective of this study is to determine the SRS factors in the engineering universities in ...Punjab state of India. This effort also aims to check the determinants of SRS.
The data is collected through a questionnaire survey conducted on engineering students of two different universities. The collected data out of 400 surveys is subjected to factor analysis and Anova.
The factor analysis exposed various factors that influence the SRS. The study has projected the effects of SRS on gender, age, engineering streams, nature of universities.
It is found that the SRS in students is partially influenced by engineering streams and gender of the engineering students.
Aim: This prospective randomized clinical study (1) investigated the prevalence of post-obturation pain after single visit root canal treatment and (2) evaluated the influence of factors affecting ...the pain experience. Materials and Methods: One thousand three hundred and twenty eight (1328) patients were included in this study. Conventional single visit root canal treatment was carried out. The chemicomechanical preparation of root canals was done by a rotary protaper system with a combination of hand instruments. Post-operative pain was recorded by each patient by using visual analogue scale in well-defined categories at three time intervals, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h. The data were analyzed using Fisher′s exact test. Results: The prevalence of post-obturation pain (severe) within 48 h after treatment was 4% ( n = 54) but less as compared to the pain experienced after 12 h (9%) and 24 h (8.6%). The factors that significantly influenced post-obturation pain experience were: Age (Fishers exact test = 46.387, P = 0.0), gender (Fishers exact test = 23.730, P = 0.0), arch (Fishers exact test = 11.710, P = 0.001), and presence of pre-operative pain (Fishers exact test = 67.456, P = 0.0). Conclusion: The presence of post-operative pain was low (4%). The important prognostic determinants of post-obturation pain were: Old age, female, mandibular teeth, and presence of pre-operative pain. The vital condition of the tooth does not affect the intensity and frequency of post-obturation pain.
Academic stress is one of the active research domains in engineering institutions. As it can result in ill health of students, it is important to monitor the level of academic stress in students.
The ...objective of this study was to determine the academic stress factors in the engineering universities in Punjab state of India. This study also aimed to check the determinants of academic stress.
The data was collected through a questionnaire survey conducted on engineering students of two different universities. The collected data out of 400 surveys is subjected to factor analysis and ANOVA.
Factor analysis revealed various factors that influence the academic stress. It was also found that the academic stress in students is most influenced by Engineering Streams and Nature of Universities.
The study projected the effects of Academic Stress on Gender, Age, Engineering Streams, Nature of Universities.
Employee Engagement is an essential practice that is highly valuable for every organization to get capture and retain a competitive advantage as they existing in highly competitive environment. The ...practice involves a matrix of several drivers of engagement including career management interventions, belongingness, intellectualness of job, reinforcement and integration from organization and autonomy that fosters employee commitment towards organizational common goals with fully involvement. Several factors as high motivation, Intense training & development modules, orientation etc. That facilitates in engaging employee with enthusiasm. Practical Implications: The paper may be useful in getting attention of employees in involving them fully in job they handled and increasing their performances and also assists organization for increasing their retention power of productive employees and sustaining advantage.
This paper proposes a method for determining the number of slip gauges required from a box of 112 slip gauge of Grade O. The new method which helps to counter the conventional method in terms of ...accuracy and precision for measurement was explained. Attention to details were marked with new combination pattern that it adheres the metrology lab rules and standards for a gauge block and saves its utilization time for measurement. Each observation of proposed method allows the utilization of one less slip gauge compared to conventional method for each range of measurements which are under 30 mm and between 30 and 50 mm.
