This document discusses women's empowerment and the status of women in Indian society from a historical perspective. It defines empowerment and women's empowerment, and notes that empowerment is the process of gaining power and control over one's life. Historically, women had high status in ancient India but this declined, and their status improved somewhat during British rule due to social reformers. Modern India has seen increased rights for women, though empowerment faces ongoing challenges. Key aspects of empowerment include education, self-confidence, access to resources and power over one's own life. Government schemes and projects aim to promote empowerment.
Experimental epidemiology involves deliberately manipulating suspected causal factors in an experimental group while making no changes to a control group, then comparing outcomes. It can be conducted on animals or humans. The aims are to provide scientific proof of causes to allow disease modification or control, and to evaluate health service effectiveness. It differs from cohort studies in that the investigator has direct control over conditions. Randomized controlled trials randomly assign participants to experimental or control groups to reduce bias when testing new treatments. Animal studies are useful but not all human diseases can be reproduced in animals. Human experiments are still needed to investigate disease causes and evaluate prevention and treatment measures.
Epidemiological methods are used to study the distribution and determinants of health-related events in populations. There are two main approaches: observational studies and experimental studies. Observational studies include descriptive and analytical methods. Descriptive methods involve measuring disease occurrence without interference to understand time, place, and person distributions. Analytical methods include case-control and cohort studies to test hypotheses about associations between suspected causes and diseases.

The document covers some initial theories of motivation but indicates that the remaining theories will be continued in a future session.
Psychologist Albert Bandura developed the concept of self-efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations. Bandura identified four main sources that influence self-efficacy: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and emotional states. High self-efficacy is associated with benefits like resilience, healthy habits, better job performance, and academic achievement. Self-efficacy is measured using scales like the General Self-Efficacy Scale, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy.
This document discusses theories of motivation, including:
1) Adams' Equity Theory, which states that motivation is influenced by comparing one's own inputs and outcomes to others.
2) Vroom's Expectancy Theory, which says motivation depends on the desirability of outcomes and is a product of expectancy, instrumentality, and valence. Expectancy is one's belief that effort leads to performance and outcomes. Instrumentality is the belief that outcomes lead to rewards. Valence is the value one places on rewards.
3) Scientific Management Theory by Frederick Taylor focused on applying science to management. It emphasized using science over rules of thumb, cooperation over individualism, matching the right workers to jobs, and developing workers
1) McClelland's theory states that individuals are motivated by three main needs: achievement, affiliation, or power. These motivators develop through life experiences and culture.
2) Alderfer's ERG theory groups motivational needs into existence, relatedness, and growth. Existence needs are most concrete, while growth needs are most abstract.
3) Mayo's theory found that social and relational factors like attention motivate employees more than monetary rewards. High group cohesion and norms lead to the greatest team effectiveness according to Mayo's research.
This document discusses emotions and emotional intelligence. It defines emotions as complex psychological phenomena involving feelings, expressions, and physiological arousal. Emotions include primary emotions like love, joy, anger, sadness, surprise and fear, as well as secondary emotions. Positive emotions make one feel good about oneself while negative emotions sap energy. Factors like culture, personality, stress, and environment can affect emotions. Theories of emotion include the Cannon-Bard theory of simultaneous feeling and physiological reaction, and the James-Lange theory of physiological reaction preceding feeling. Emotional intelligence involves perceiving, reasoning with, understanding, and managing emotions.
Muskuloskeletal system for 1st year bsc nursingRGCN
The musculoskeletal system consists of skeletal, muscular and articular systems working together for body movement. The skeletal system includes bones and joints, with the axial skeleton forming the central core and appendicular skeleton in the limbs. Bones provide structure, protect organs, allow movement, store minerals, and attach muscles. There are several bone types classified by shape and composition. Bones are living tissues that continuously remodel through the actions of osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. The skeletal system can be affected by diseases like osteoporosis, Paget's disease, rickets/osteomalacia, osteomyelitis, developmental abnormalities, and bone tumors.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used to manually preserve brain and heart function until further medical treatment can restore normal function. CPR involves clearing the airway, providing rescue breaths, and performing chest compressions to manually pump the heart and circulate blood to vital organs like the brain. The basic steps of CPR are CABD - Clear airway, give Breaths, perform Chest compressions, and use a Defibrillator if available. CPR is used to treat cardiac arrest, where the heart suddenly stops pumping effectively. It aims to restore effective circulation and prevent brain damage from lack of oxygen.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
