Li-Fi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission. It was invented by Professor Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh. Li-Fi transmits data through LED bulbs and receives it with photoreceptors, providing higher speeds than Wi-Fi without interference. Potential applications include use in traffic lights, industrial settings, airplanes, and underwater where radio frequencies do not work well. While Li-Fi provides more security and bandwidth than Wi-Fi, it requires line of sight and lights to remain on for operation.

Hearing impairment refers to any level of reduced hearing that affects educational performance. Total communication incorporates all means of communication including signs, gestures, fingerspelling and speech. Cued speech uses handshapes and placements to make mouth movements visually distinct. Assistive devices like FM systems, hearing loops, and augmentative communication devices help people with hearing loss communicate by amplifying sound, transmitting signals, and generating or displaying speech. The oral approach focuses on developing listening and spoken language skills through amplification and visual cues without using sign language.
This document presents information on mobile phones. It begins with an introduction of the presenter and presentation topic, which is mobile phones, their advantages, and disadvantages. Next, it provides background on mobile phones, noting they connect wirelessly and were invented by Dr. Martin Cooper in 1973. It then lists key advantages such as connectivity, use for emergencies, as a GPS, mini computer, and for business/data transfer. Disadvantages include overuse impacting social/student life, unexpected calls, potential health issues, increased expenses, bacteria/viruses, and safety risks like distraction during driving or targeting.
Mobile phone use can have several health effects according to this document. Prolonged use has been shown to alter brain activity for up to an hour after a call and may cause memory loss, mental confusion, and damage to the nervous system over time. Children are more vulnerable due to thinner skulls and developing brains. The document recommends using hands-free devices, keeping phones away from the body, and reducing call times when signals are weak to limit exposure to radiation.
This document summarizes key findings from a report on children's use of mobile phones internationally. Some of the main findings include:
1) Nearly 70% of children surveyed use a mobile phone, with over 80% of 8-year-olds in Egypt using one. Only 20% of children use a previously owned phone.
2) Children are increasingly using new phones like smartphones, reaching 14% in Egypt. Children show higher smartphone usage than their parents.
3) Children send more text messages as they age, peaking at 15 years old. Over 40% of children access the internet on their mobile phones.
4) Social networking on mobile phones is very popular among children, reaching 87% in
Headphones have three main parts: a voice coil, permanent magnet, and cone-like diaphragm. The diaphragm vibrates when electrical currents run through the voice coil, converting the electricity into sound waves. There are three main types - sound canceling which emit opposite sound waves, open back which have hard backs, and closed back which have holes in the back. Headphones were first used for radio work in 1919 and now serve purposes like listening to music on devices and airplane pilots communicating.
The document describes several consumer electronic products that were displayed at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show, including a mobile device charging station, smart blood pressure monitor, external battery cases for the iPhone, tablet computers, and HD video camera masks. It also mentions a touchscreen display that can handle up to 60 touch inputs and a car radio.
Li-Fi is a wireless optical networking technology that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for data transmission. It was invented by Harald Haas at the University of Edinburgh in 2011 as an alternative to Wi-Fi. Li-Fi transmits data through illumination by taking the fiber out of fiber optics and sending data through a LED light bulb. It provides higher speed, more secure data transmission than Wi-Fi as light cannot pass through walls. Potential applications of Li-Fi include use in traffic lights, hospitals, airplanes, and as a means of wireless internet from street lamps. However, challenges remain around interference from external light sources and the need for line of sight transmission.

Cell phones provide easy communication and access to the internet, calendars, cameras and alarms, but can be distracting and studies have found a possible link between heavy cell phone use and brain tumors. Cell phones are also expensive to own and operate.
More than 3 million children in the US have hearing loss. Hearing aids and FM systems can help amplify sounds for mild to moderate losses, but have limitations like background noise. Cochlear implants directly stimulate the auditory nerve for those with severe to profound deafness. They are expensive but allow understanding of speech and higher frequencies. FM systems paired with hearing aids improve classroom listening by reducing noise and increasing sound quality and volume from the teacher.
The document discusses understanding hearing impairment and provides information on several key topics:
1. Over 360 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss, including 32 million children. Early detection and management of hearing loss in infants is important.
2. Hearing loss can be classified based on age of onset, language development impact, location of impairment in the ear, and degree of loss. Causes include genetic factors, illness, injury, certain drugs, and age-related hearing loss.
3. Hearing impairment can impact vocabulary development, language skills, socialization, learning, and academic achievement. Deaf individuals are visual learners and develop concepts differently than those without hearing loss.

Current lifestyle trends are leading to increasing rates of ENT (ear, nose, throat) issues according to an ENT surgeon. More sedentary lifestyles with increased consumption of fast food and exposure to gadgets and pollution are key factors. Common issues include allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, sore throats, ear problems, reflux disease, snoring, sleep apnea, and hearing loss. The surgeon discusses prevention through lifestyle changes like managing allergens, limiting acid reflux triggers, avoiding loud noise and protecting ears on flights and from gadgets. Treatment options for various conditions include surgery, hearing aids, cochlear implants and lifestyle management.

Hazardous noise exposure can occur both on and off the job and can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent but preventable, accumulating gradually with each noise over-exposure. It is important to use appropriate hearing protection devices, such as earplugs or earmuffs, whenever noise levels may be hazardous to prevent long-term hearing damage. Proper fitting and care of hearing protection devices is crucial to achieve maximum noise reduction.
New hearing aid technologies have advanced dramatically in the past five years. Hearing aids can now connect to smartphones via apps to stream audio and customize settings based on location. This allows for improved hearing in noisy environments. Advanced features include geotagging locations and pairing with computers. The technology will likely continue integrating with other wearable devices. While the technology has improved, many people still wait too long to address hearing loss due to stigma. However, early treatment can help prevent cognitive decline.
Earphone usage can severely damage our ears. Listening to music at high volumes through earphones causes hair cells in the ears to die, leading to permanent hearing loss over time. Earphones also block the ear canal, causing a buildup of wax which can be painful to remove. The warm, enclosed environment of the ear when using earphones also enables fungal growth and infections. Earphone usage has also been linked to an increase in road accidents because people cannot hear outside noises due to high volume. Some tips to reduce earphone damage include cleaning them before use, using noise-cancelling earphones, and avoiding falling asleep with earphones in.
The document discusses noise-induced hearing loss and provides tips to protect hearing from loud noises. It notes that loud sounds can damage the delicate hair cells in the inner ear over time and cause permanent hearing loss. The document recommends keeping sound levels below 70 decibels when possible, moving farther away from loud noises, and wearing hearing protection like earplugs for sounds 85 decibels or louder that last more than a few minutes. Protecting hearing when young can prevent noise-induced hearing loss later in life.
This document discusses preventive measures for noise pollution. It defines noise pollution as unwanted sound that exceeds 85 decibels and can cause physical and mental health problems. Common sources of noise pollution are listed as vehicular traffic, industries, and construction activities. The effects of noise pollution include temporary and permanent hearing loss as well as other illnesses like hypertension and cancer. Both mass and individual preventive measures are outlined. Mass measures include constructing soundproof rooms for machines, banning loud vehicles, and planting trees along roads. Individual measures include using earplugs, soundproofing homes, and spending time away from noisy areas. The conclusion emphasizes that collective efforts are needed to reduce noise pollution and increase awareness of its health impacts.
What are Some Everyday Activities That Can Lead to Hearing LossSoundak
Everyday activities like using firearms, attending loud concerts or sporting events, and operating power tools can expose people to hazardous noise levels and potentially cause hearing loss over time. Gunshots, music at concerts above 120 decibels, and the sounds of cars and motorcycles at races can all harm hearing if not protected against. Prolonged use of power tools also risks temporary or permanent hearing damage. The document recommends wearing hearing protection during these activities to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
This document discusses principles for selecting amplification for children with hearing loss. It addresses choosing the routing of sound transmission via air conduction, bone conduction, or electrical stimulation. Bilateral amplification is generally recommended unless contraindicated. The style of hearing aid should consider factors like ear canal size and feedback risk, and BTEs are often preferred while the ear is growing. Earmold selection and replacement is important due to growth, and venting needs to avoid feedback while maintaining high frequencies. Safety concerns include batteries and volume controls.
The document discusses preventive hearing healthcare and outlines the risks of noise-induced hearing loss. It notes that hearing damage is permanent but can be prevented. A preventive hearing scan using otoacoustic emissions testing can detect early-stage hearing damage before it is noticeable. The document recommends an annual preventive hearing scan and outlines the Healthy Hearing Program which provides personalized coaching and monitoring to prevent further hearing damage through addressing noise exposure, use of hearing protection, hearing ability, and behaviors.
This document discusses noise and its impact on hearing. It defines noise as unwanted sound, particularly loud sounds that can damage hearing. Common sources of noise include music, vehicles, workplaces, and leisure activities. The ear is vulnerable to damage from loud noises because sensitive sensory cells can be permanently damaged or destroyed by high noise levels. The document recommends avoiding excessive noise and wearing hearing protection in very loud environments to prevent noise-induced hearing loss. It also notes that hearing aids can help address hearing problems caused by noise exposure.
World Hearing Day is observed annually on March 3rd to raise awareness about preventing hearing loss and promoting hearing care. The 2022 theme is "To hear for life, listen with care" which focuses on preventing hearing loss from recreational sounds through safe listening. This year will see the launch of global standards for safe listening levels in entertainment venues and a handbook on creating safe listening programs. Prolonged exposure to loud noises from sources like personal listening devices can damage hearing over time. Precautions like using lower volumes, bigger headphones, and giving ears breaks are recommended.
Workers often complain that hearing protection is uncomfortable or prevents them from hearing important sounds, but these are common myths. While hearing protection may feel different, it is important to continue wearing it to prevent further hearing loss, as even a mild initial loss can develop over time with additional noise exposure. The right style of properly fitted hearing protection should be comfortable enough for all-day use and will allow workers to still hear necessary sounds while reducing harmful background noise levels. Hearing aids also do not replace the need for hearing protection.
Open ear hearing aids are designed to prevent occlusion, a common annoyance of traditional hearing aids where the ear canal is blocked. They allow for natural airflow and avoid the plugged up feeling. Many modern hearing aid styles, like RIC, mini-BTE, and ITE devices, are designed to keep the ear canal partially open. While styles and technologies may differ, open ear hearing aids share the goal of an open ear design to improve sound quality and user experience over traditional occluding hearing aids. Open ear hearing aids are likely to become the standard as their superior features become more widely adopted in the industry.
Concern is growing about the rising exposure to loud sounds in recreational settings such as nightclubs, discotheques, pubs, bars, cinemas, concerts, sporting events and even fitness classes. With the popularization of technology, devices such as music players are often listened to at unsafe volumes and for prolonged periods of time. Regular participation in such activities poses a serious threat of irreversible hearing loss.
Sensory Aids for Persons with Auditory ImpairmentsDamian T. Gordon
There are two basic approaches to assistive technology for auditory impairments: augmentation of existing pathways and use of alternative pathways. Augmentation involves amplifying sounds to improve reception of certain frequencies for those who are hard of hearing. Alternative pathways include tactile substitution, where sounds are felt through touch, and visual substitution, using displays to represent sounds. Examples of aids discussed include hearing aids, cochlear implants, visual alarms, and computerized speech and text.
The document discusses noise exposure at work and hearing conservation programs. It covers the effects of noise on hearing, types of hearing protection, audiometric testing, noise measurement records, and an employer's responsibilities regarding noise exposure and hearing protection. Examples of noisy equipment and their decibel levels are provided, as well as allowable daily noise exposure times without hearing protection.

NURSING MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT WITH EMPHYSEMA .PPTblessyjannu21
Prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, VICE PRINCIPAL, FNCON, SPN.
Emphysema is a disease condition of respiratory system.
Emphysema is an abnormal permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls and without obvious fibrosis.
Emphysema of lung is defined as hyper inflation of the lung ais spaces due to obstruction of non respiratory bronchioles as due to loss of elasticity of alveoli.
It is a type of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease.
It is a progressive disease of lungs.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
