Commonly used Insecticides and Pesticides KULDEEP VYAS
Pesticides include insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. There are several thousand different types in use and almost all of them are possible causes of water pollution. For example, DDT, malathion, parathion, delthametrine and others have been sprayed in the environment for long periods of time for the control of disease vectors such as mosquitoes, and to control the growth of weeds and other pests.
Material management in hospital and community servicesKULDEEP VYAS
Material management is a methodical technique that includes planning strategies, systemizing and regulating the flow of material from procurement till the point of disembarkation.
It is the process of coordination and controlling the activities in an organization. It includes the responsibility of purchasing the materials, their scheduling from supply or from other internal sources, their handling, storage and movement through the organization, and their delivery.
-It is a statement of anticipated results during a designated
time period expressed financial and nonfinancial terms.
-Three essential steps in the control process are establishing standards, comparing results with standards and taking corrective action.
-Budgeting process starts when top-level management establishes the strategies and goals for the organization.
The client classification system or patient classification system is the cluster of clients that has been categorized on the specific characteristics, needs ,requirements and their severity of the disease conditions based on which patient assignment is made to provide nursing care.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. Evaluation is a process used to
determine what has happened during a
given activity or in an institution.
Evaluation requires many skills that
are as important as other elements of the
instructional process.
A complete evaluation programme
for a teacher of nursing would encompass:
1.educational objectives
2.teaching and learning procedures,
3. students progress and
4. outcomes.
GENERAL EVALUATION PLAN
1.Evaluation is a methodical process
that helps to recognize the extent to
which a student has reached the
educational objectives.
2.The plan should include a list of learning
outcomes and the techniques to be used in
evaluating the outcomes.
3.It must be planned jointly by teachers and
others, including students, involved in the
teaching-learning process.
4. It should be a group activity
3. STEPS IN CONSTRUCTION OF
EVALUATION TESTS
Preliminary Steps
Groulund summarized the preliminary steps
required in constructing evaluation tests as
follows:
1.Objectves and specific learning
outcomes must be identified and defined
in terms of desired I changes in pupil
behaviour
.
2. Subject matter contents must be outlined.
3.A table of contents that relate to the
subject matter should be developed.
4.Specific test questions should be
constructed in accordance with the table of
specification
Specific Steps
Heidgerken listed the specific steps to be
taken in the evaluation procedure as follows:
1. State the starting objectives.
2. Define the expected changes in behaviour.
3.List and briefly describe situations that
contribute to the expression of behaviour.
4. 4. Develop appropriate and systematic
means of electing different kinds of
behaviour implied in the objectives to be
evaluated.
5.Decide again on ways of recording and
summarizing (through scores, rating or
description behaviour as the basis of
evidence collected.
6. Check validity, reliability and difficulty of
the measures used.
7.Establish conditions that permit students
to give their best performance.
8.Assign scores on the basis of the above
steps.
9.Develop methods of interpretation.
Criteria tor Selecting Evaluation Tools or
Devices
Major criteria used in selecting
and developing evaluation tools
are as follows:
1.Examining the objectives.
2.Checking validity, reliability, practicability
and usefulness
3. Sampling the content.
5. Evaluation Methodology
There is a certain methodology for
evaluation. Gilberto has outlined four steps:
1.Define objectives
2. Plan the evaluation system
3. Prepare
4. Implement
5. Evaluate
PRINCIPLES OF EVALUATION
1.The objectives of evaluation must be
clearly stated before an evaluation is made.
2.Evaluation techniques should be selected
with reference to the purposes to be served.
3.Different kinds of appraisal techniques
4.Adequate use of the appraisal techniques
develops training and knowledge in the
evaluation methods.
5. Appraisal means there is a start but there
is no end in this process
6. 6.Evaluation procedures must contribute to
improving instructions, guidance and
administration.
7.Since evaluation involves obtaining
information about desired behaviour as an
education objective, an appropriate method
of evaluation should be formulated.
8.Through evaluation, it is possible to
estimate the typical reaction of a student
after observing his reactions.
PURPOSES OF EVALUATION
1.Evaluation procedures help students
understand the desired behaviour expected
of them and what they should learn.
2.They help students to identify their
difficulties and problems in learning as well
as their progress they make.
3.They guide the teacher as well as the
students in selecting future learning
programmes.
4.They provide guidance and counseling to
students related to learning.
1. .
7. 5.They help to judge on the
appropriateness and feasibility of determined
objectives.
6.They provide the teacher with clues to
the attentiveness of the course plan and
teaching method.
7.They help to decide promotions and
placements, etc.
8. They help in reporting to parents the
achievement of students.
9.They diagnose each student's strengths
and weaknesses and suggest remedial
measures.
10.They motivate and encourage students
to learn.
11.They determine the level oft knowledge
and understanding of students at various
levels.
12.They gather information needed for
administrative purposes such as selecting
students tor higher courses. They help the
administration determine effectiveness of the
curriculum, its strengths and weaknesses, and
interpret to the public the goals and
accomplishments of the school.
8. CHARACTERISTICS OF EVALUATION
PROCEDURE
I. Essential characteristics
1.Validity
2. Reliability

evaluation.
9. 4.Usability: This implies factors such as the
time taken to conduct the test, the cost of
using it and practicality for everyday use.
5.Relevance: It is the degree to which the
centres established for selecting questions
conform to the aims of the measuring
instrument.
6.Equilibrium: Achievement of correct
proportion or balance among questions
allotted to each of the objectives of a course
and the tasks included in the test.
7.Discrimination: This refers to the quality
of each element of a measuring instrument
that makes it possible to distinguish between
good and poor students in relation to a
given variable.
