A correlational and comparative study of perceived stress, intolerance of uncertainty and resilience among students and working individuals during the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study is aimed at investigating the correlation and comparison of perceived stress, intolerance of uncertainty and resilience among students as well as working individuals. The two main objectives of the research are to see if these three variables correlate with each other significantly; as well as to see the if there is a difference in the perception of intolerance of uncertainty, perceived stress and resilience between students and working individuals. The total sample consisted of 373 individuals falling between 18-40 years of age. Methodology consisted of snowball and purposive sampling. Descriptive, correlational and comparative research designs were used. Standardized tools of Perceived Stress Scale, Resilience Scale-14 and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale were used for data collection in order to assess perceived stress, intolerance of uncertainty and resilience. The parametric measure of Pearson product moment correlation, independent sample t-test as well as regression were used for data analysis. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between intolerance of uncertainty and perceived stress and a significantly negative correlation between resilience and intolerance of uncertainty and resilience and perceived stress ( significant at 0.01 level). There is also a significant difference between perceived stress and resilience of the students and working individuals ( significant at 0.05 level).

Thesis

Prevalence of Dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls of Govt. Senior Secondary Schools of District Mandi, H.P.

Adolescence is most important stage of human life, particularly in adolescent girls as it lays down the conditions for healthy and safe procreation. Many girls face problems in their menstrual cycle including dysmenorrhea, which has figured less in past research studies. To find out the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent school girls, to determine the association between the dysmenorrhea and quality of life as well as with other selected variables. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 378 adolescent Senior Secondary School girls of 13-18 years of age, selected through multistage sampling technique using structured pretested questionnaire. The data was computed and analyzed in SPSS 23 version. Results: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 65.3%. Most of the students were in the age group of 15-16 years. The mean age of respondents was 15.26±1.293 years while it was 13.41±.682 for menarche. The most common symptoms reported were backache in 66.7% and irritability in 40.7% of the cases. The study found positive association between dysmenorrhea and family history and fruit intake. Dysmenorrhea was also found related with school absenteeism, poor exam grades, poor interpersonal relationship, decreased concentration in class and day-to-day activity. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls was relatively high. The pain suffered could be severe that affected school absenteeism, social and academic performance and day-to-day activities. Association of dysmenorrhea was found to be significantly associated with age of menarche while it was highly significant with family history and fruits.

To investigate potential target based phytochemicals against COX 2 & STAT 3 protein of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head & Neck using In-Silico approach

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases affecting the world over. Carcinoma is a type of cancer arise from epithelial cells. Squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) represents a heterogeneous disease entity, with various etiological factors implicated in the genesis of distinct molecular subsets of tumors, which exhibit different biological and clinical behavior. Historically, SCCHN has been about twice as common in men as in women and more frequent in people over 50 with growing incidence reported among younger people. Alcohol and tobacco are common etiologic factors for SCCHN, linked to at least 75% of cases. Systems biology emphasizes the need for molecular characterization of cancer development. Molecular tools are screened as means of candidate biomarkers leading to cancer. Overexpression of proteins causing tumorigenesis is better understood by studying their role in cancer proliferation. COX 2 and STAT3 are pathway-mediated bioagents in head and neck cancer considered as targetable protein. Phytochemicals such as Rutin, Quercetin and Ellagic acid are well-known inhibitors of both COX 2 and STAT3 proteins. In-silico approach was used to analyze binding interactions of phytochemicals against selected protein structures of COX 2 and STAT3 using docking studies thereby forming drug able agents. The main objective is to find an alternative treatment to chemoprevention therapy. This research work aims to carry out systematic review of head and neck cancer in order to develop potential target-based therapy. Therefore, Rutin against 5IKR, 5F19, Quercetin against 6NJS and Ellagic acid against 6QHD may be considered to be potential anti-cancer against SCCHN target which further needs to be explored for drug development process.

A descriptive study to assess the knowledge and attitude of cervical cancer and its prevention among the married women residing in selected Bhattakuffer area, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh

Cervical cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide and an issue of significant public health concern. HPV is a necessary cause of cervical cancer, but it is not a sufficient cause. The burden of cervical cancer in India is enormous accounting for about 20 percent of all cancer-related deaths in women and is the number one cause of death in the middle age of Indian women. Objectives of the study were to (1) To assess the knowledge of married women regarding cervical cancer. (2) To assess the attitude of married women regarding cervical cancer. (3) To find out the association between attitude and knowledge score related to cervical cancer with their socio-demographic variables. Methods: The descriptive research design was adopted to collect the data from 100 married women residing in the selected community area of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh via using a random sampling technique. The data was collected by a self-structured questionnaire and by using a 5-Point Likert scale. Result: The findings of the study show that about 79% of women were having moderate knowledge who scored (21-31marks) and 11 % were inadequate who scored (11-20marks) and 10% (0-10 marks) of the married women were having adequate knowledge regarding cervical cancer and its prevention. The majority of the married women were having a neutral attitude (71%), and (29%) of the women were having a positive attitude towards cervical cancer and its prevention. cer

Review Paper

Redefining the gravity

Abstract A falling object does not have weight, but only moving force, a moving object has fixed uniform motion ( see proof ahead ), it neither accelerates nor retards during falling towards Earth. So every particle on earth has a uniform value of inertia. Every particle on earth tends to move towards the centre of the earth as each particle has a direction towards the centre but as compared to space each and every direction of particles may be considered as having single infinite side. These forces indicate us all about earth circumstances and prevailing at its beginning. We will take into consideration the mass of earth before collection coming into existence. The weight which we feel on the surface of the earth is actually a force which tends to move. Objects do not fall due to attraction of earth but due to their own force which we feel as weight. There is no acceleration while falling of an object compared with a 3D Graph of space. The falling path of an object is actually curved. All force of earth has alignment towards a single central point. The force which we feel as weight is responsible for retraction of earth towards the centre but not due to attraction. There is nether attraction between two points on earth nor between any object and earth.
