Occupational Therapy Management for Sleep Deprivation in Younger Adults

Sleep is a major domain of quality of life and has an impact on our ability to carry out activities of daily living effectively. Although occasional sleep interruptions are generally no more than a nuisance, ongoing lack of sleep can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, emotional difficulties, poor job performance, obesity and a lowered perception of quality of life. It has become a growing problem among teenagers and college-aged young adults which adversely affects their performance in school/ college, moods, and behaviors. Occupational therapy is primed to address sleep problems by targeting the context and environment, performance patterns, and limited engagement in evening activities that may contribute to poor sleep. This paper is designed to elicit the role of occupational therapy in younger adults in relation to their sleep problems. The paper emphasizes to discover various strategies which are significantly effective to cope up with the problem.

Design and Development of a Portable Instrument for Quantification of Urea in Milk, Alcohol in Vinegar

Milk is the commonly consumed health drink of all ages. To meet the increasing demands of milk, the quality of milk produced has to be increased. This can be achieved by adding unwanted substances called adulterants in milk. Generally, urea is added to increase the quantity of milk and to reduce the quality of milk. The majority of people do not know how to judge about good acetic acid, they are perfectly satisfied if it is sour in taste and has the yellow color or the excellent old cider vinegar that is made by our farmers. It is easy to make cheap vinegar, and no doubt hundreds of people daily use a mixture of vitriol, water, in the firm belief that it is real vinegar, because they have purchased a liquid of that name. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to discuss on the determination of permissible level of alcohol in vinegar, urea in milk by using portable low cost instrument.

Common Mode Voltage Reduction for Three Phase Grid Connected Converters Using Multi Level Pulse Width Modulation Techniques

This paper investigates the performance of three-phase grid connected multi-level (PWM) inverter, with photovoltaic energy conversion system being the main application. The main purpose of this work is to reduce the common mode voltage (CMV) and common mode current (CMC), the performance of the inverter is studied thoroughly. Conventional PWM methods and recently developed reduced common mode voltage PWM (RCMV-PWM) methods are reviewed. The simulation results of CMV, CMC and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) by applying all the PWM Techniques on a grid-connected PV system using a three-phase, three-level Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) are studied. Amongst all the PWM Techniques, Near State PWM (NSPWM) Technique which is an RCMV-PWM Technique yields the best results.

Big Data Analysis Model for Transformation and Effectiveness in the e-Governance Service from Relational Database

Relational Database Management Systems are frequently being used in various e-Governance projects in India, but RDBMS are not suitable for OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). By using RDBMS, the large number of the volume have been collected and processed in e-Governance projects. Big Data framework based processing has been implemented to study various parameters to provide faster and better communication, retrieval of data and utilization of information to its users in e-Governance projects. This research focuses on how we can use Big Data framework for effective implementation of e-Governance Projects.

Has Demonetization Really Helped in Growth of PayTM?

Information Technology sector in India is making progress at rates way beyond what was expected 30 years back. The new India is educated and everybody in the nation needs the best and most upgraded methodologies for their self-business. PayTM a digital payment platform was launched in 2010 by One97 communication. Over the most recent 6 years, it has advanced over and has turned into the main decision of the clients among all the current installment stages in India. It started by allowing the recharges for mobile phones, but soon it started providing payment options for other utilities such as the metro card, Direct To Home (DTH), data cards, electricity and water bills, flight and bus tickets. Demonetization was a defining moment for PayTM before demonetization individuals knew about PayTM yet did not want to utilize it but rather after Demonetization PayTM made it more demanding to pay with its computerized installment choice. There was around 1000% growth in the money added to its wallet, 300% rise in-app download and a gain of 20 million new users was recorded within 2 months. The demonetization where causing the possibility of change in spending behavior as a result of moving to instruments other than cash. The objective of the study is to understand how PayTM has grown after demonetization. The information collected will be from various articles, case studies and research papers of PayTM.
