Many neonates admitted to hospital undergo repeated invasive procedures. Oral sucrose is frequently given to relieve procedural pain in neonates on the basis of its effect on behavioural and physiological pain scores. The purpose of the study is to assess the level of pain among neonates before and after administration of 25% sucrose, to assess the effectiveness of 25% sucrose orally among neonates in NICU and to assess the association between the level of pain among neonates and selected demographic variable such as age, sex, weight, gestation, ordinal position of the neonates and type of invasive procedure. The study method was Evaluate research approach and a pre experimental (one group pre-testpost-test design) was used. Non randomized purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. The total sample consists of 60 neonates admitted in NICU. Pain was assessed during invasive procedure before administration of 25%sucrose and 0.02- 2ml sucrose was given 2mins prior to next painful procedure. The pain was assessed during procedure at 30second and at 1minute by neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS) for neonates. The result of the study concluded that mean and standard deviation score for pain during procedure, 30 seconds and 1 minute in the pre-test was 6.5, 4.7, 2.5 and in the post test were 4.2, 1.9, 0.5. Thecalculated‘t’ value was 9.4***, 10.6***, 7.4*** is significant p value (<0.001). It reveals that there was significant difference existing between pre-test and post-test pain score. It is evident that the 25% sucrose is significantly effective in reducing of pain among neonates undergoing painful procedure.

The prime concern of any country is Agriculture. Every nation has to feed its population by making strong policy support for Agricultural production. This paper deals with providing decision support for the crop to be selected for cultivation based on several influencing parameters. Even though there are many decision support systems available for Agriculture, there is a lack in region specific ones. The proposed system aims to overcome the aforementioned issue. For this purpose, the system considers climatic data from the Government of India web portal, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University portal and reports. The precision data collected from the fields will be given as inputs to the proposed system. The crops to be selected for cultivation are based on the historical data and guidelines from the Tamil Nadu Agritech portal. The accuracy of the proposed decision support system is assessed by getting feedback from the farmers.Keywords
