Recent introduction of hybrid architectures in Mobile Adhoc NETworks (MANETs) made researchers to concentrate on routing techniques to prolong the network lifetime with improved performance and scalability. Major research activity has been carried out to explore and improve constrained lifespan of the network by proposing on - demand power aware routing protocols. However, these protocols try to increase the network life time but doesn’t guarantee a network remain operational forever. Charging of premature failure nodes which were frequently used as relying nodes is essential to prolong network lifespan. Therefore, to improve network connectivity and lifespan, it’s essential to charge energy drained nodes based on their expected lifetime. Hence, we propose a dynamic and secure routing cum energy recharging scheme using Mobile Power Back Ferry Nodes (MPBF) to recharge energy drained nodes. Consumption of energy from the MPBF nodes affords a most trustworthy energy supply than deriving energy from other sources. This approach retains the node energy to maximum time with improved battery life by selecting a gateway based on link weight age. Secure Source- Based Loose Synchronization (SOBAS) protocol is used for authenticated power transfer. The total number of MPBF nodes required for the optimum energy conservation is determined by the target detection mechanism assigned by the Secured Sink Trail (SST). Using this joint methodology, the network lifetime and percentage of energy consumption of mobile nodes under two different scenarios (a) Variable node velocity and network traffic with fixed node density (b) Variable node density and node velocity with fixed network traffic are analyzed. We evaluate the proposed scheme performance through NS2 simulations. The results show that the proposed scheme can retain the network lifetime for a longer duration. Its performance is compared with power aware and ACO based Dynamic Power Control and load balanced energy efficient routing protocols under different QoS scenarios.Keywords

HIV is a major global public health issue today. The day to day confrontations of various stressful situations in the lives of the people living with HIV drag them into the shadows of hopelessness and meaninglessness. Perceiving this scenario, the researcher aimed to develop an intervention to enhance the meaning in life and to alleviate death anxiety among the adult men living with HIV and to pilot test its viability and usability in the clinical practice. The study made use of The Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) to assess levels of the meaning of life and death anxiety the adult men living with HIV face. For the better understanding of the situation the researcher conducted need-assessment survey, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Based on these assessment procedures, the researcher developed a nine-modular intervention program, CBT based acceptance commitment logo-therapeutic meaning management program (CALM), an intervention based on the meaning management theory to enhance meaning of life and to alleviate death anxiety among the adult men living with HIV. The content of CALM was validated by six inter-disciplinary experts and it proved to be excellent. The pilot was tested among ten adult men living with HIV. CALM showed large effect of enhancement of the meaning in life and decrease in death anxiety of the participants in the study.Keywords
