Abstract

Today, Modern Information Communication is an indispensable part of human life. It is a fact that the communication innovations at global level are occurring at a very fast rate but its outreach to the population in general and rural population in particular is very poor especially considered in terms underdeveloped and developing nations. Of late, developing nations like India has started giving thrust to developing techniques realizing its immense role in changing the economic and social face of its population. Around 65% of the State's population is living in rural areas. People in rural areas should have the same quality of life as is enjoyed by people living in suburban and urban areas. Further, there are cascading effects of poverty, unemployment, poor and inadequate infrastructure in rural areas on urban centers causing slums and consequential social and economic tensions manifesting in economic deprivation and urban poverty. Hence, rural development implies both the economic betterment of people as well as greater social transformation. In order to provide the rural people with better prospects for economic development, increased participation of people in the rural development programmes, decentralisation of planning, better enforcement of land reforms and greater access to credit are envisaged. This study is to demonstrate the effective contribution of ICT to the socio-economic development of villages in Marathwada and Vidarbha Regions of Maharashtra.

Abstract

Introduction: According to WHO (1994) Diabetes Mellitus is characterised by hyperglycaemia and disturbance of the carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism that is associated with the absolute or relative deficiencies of insulin action or secretion. India has now been declared by WHO as the diabetes capital of the world. The choice of treatment and complaints is important for the metabolic control to be achieved by the diabetic patients. While diet, exercise and oral drugs are useful in controlling diabetes in many patients, it is now recognized that a large number of Type 2 diabetic patients require insulin therapy. The number of adults with diabetes in the world will rise from 135 million in 1995 to 300 million in the year 2025. The major part of this numerical increase will occur in developing countries.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine the level of knowledge on prevention of complications of diabetic mellitus, evaluate the effectiveness of health education program in terms of gain in knowledge score among diabetes veterans, and find an association between level of pre test knowledge of diabetes veterans with their selected demographic variables.

Materials and methods: An evaluative research approach with pre-experimental one group pre-test and posttest design was used. 40 samples were collected by using convenient method from jalaram seva trust and community old age home care. Tool consisted of 6 demographical variables and 30 structured questioners was administered before and after HEP. The reliability of the tool was established by using test retest method. Data was analzed using inferential and descriptive statistics.

Result: Paired sample t-test revealed that the mean posttest knowledge score regarding prevention of complications of DM was significantly higher (24.23 ± 3.69) than that of mean pretest knowledge score (15.63 ± 3.91) (P< 0.05). Computed T value 12.908 is higher than table value t99 at P< 0.05. Hence hypothesis is accepted and thus shows that HEP was highly effective in increasing knowledge of prevention of complications of DM among Diabetes veterans.

Conclusion: The study finding revealed that health education programme was highly effective in improving knowledge of prevention of complications of DM in Diabetes veterans.

Abstract

A simple, highly efficient and green procedure for the condensation of aryl and alkyl 1, 2-diamines with α-diketones in the presence of different catalyst at room temperature is described. And the recycled catalyst was used for the next run under identical reaction conditions. Using this method, quinoxaline derivatives as biologically interesting compounds are produced in high to excellent yields and short reaction times. Present synthesis complies with principle of Green chemistry. As part of current studies, we here in report efficient practical technique of sonication reaction (sonosynthesis). The overall progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC and characterized by IR and NMR. Compared with traditional methods, these methods are more convenient and reactions can be carried out in higher yield, shorter reaction time and milder conditions, without generation of pollution and safer to analyst. The synthesized 2, 3-diphenyle quinoxaline was confirmed by physical constant and spectroscopic studies. Low cost, reuse of worn catalyst and maximum efficiency are some advantages of this synthesis. Compared with traditional method, this method is more convenient and reactions can be carried out in higher yield, shorter reaction time and milder conditions, without generation of pollution and safer to analyst. From these features present methods can be correlated for safer and efficient synthesis of other products.
