 Abstract

Computer vision is a very good application of deep learning and is used to solve many problems in the vision category. One of its applications is Human pose estimation. Using pose estimation various applications can be made such as yoga training, physiotherapy training, also pose estimation can be used in sports analytics. Due to its wide range of application, it becomes very much important to learn how the things actually work and how the poses are estimated from a moving video or a still image. This paper consists of the literature-study related to how human pose estimation works and by which techniques one can perform the pose estimation along with that some pose comparison methods are also discussed in the paper which are required for developing the above-mentioned applications.

 Abstract

Hospitals are created for cure the disease but not for the spreading of diseases, even though this statement is true to the theoretical concept but it is not possible practically due to various risk factors. The spread of infection in the hospitals occurs due to the microorganism. Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) add significantly to the economic burden of managing the underlying disease that has lead to hospitalization of the patient. More than 90% of reported infections are bacterial where as viral, fungal or protozoal infections are less commonly involved in hospital-acquired infections. This project deals with bacterial nosocomial pathogens only, since they are by far major causes of UTI. Objective of the present study include the identification, prevention and control of UTI in our hospitals. The ultimate aim is the reduction of UTI and their costs. Baseline study for morbidity pattern in the hospitals, finding sources of exogenous and endogenous sources of UTI . UTI also is the infection most likely to be fatal, with mortality rates exceeding 30%, and is the most expensive to treat. Moreover, patients on mechanical develop UTI more frequently and are more likely to have a fatal outcome than those not requiring assisted catheterization. In large part, these findings reflect the severity of the underlying disease. Most nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections are occur by aspiration of bacteria growing in the back of urinary tract. Intubation and mechanical catheterization greatly increase the risk of infection. Suggest measures to minimize the UTI and suggest guidelines for efficacious management of nosocomial infections.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study was to measure the relationship of reaction time, agility, speed of movement and flexibility to the performance of subjects in 110 meter hurdles event. The subjects for this study were 10 male hurdlers of L.N.I.P.E., Gwalior who have participated in M.P. State Athletic Meet. The age group of subjects was 16 to 25 years. Reaction time was measured by Anand's electronic reaction time apparatus; Shuttle run (4 x 10 yards) was used to access the agility; speed of movement was represented by 50 yard dash test and while sit and reach test was used to check the flexibility of the subjects. The performance of the subjects was also recorded in 110 meter hurdles. The product moment correlation method was used in order to find the relationship between the performance of subjects in the event of 110 meter hurdles and Reaction time, Agility, Speed of movement and Flexibility. The finding of the study revealed that these were insignificant relationship between the reaction time, agility, speed of movement and flexibility to the performance in 110 meter hurdles. The obtained values of correlations were found insignificant at 0.05 level.

 Abstract

Abstract: The ever mutating sphere of literary criticism gets updated with innovative ideologies which open up spaces for further analysis of the existing theories in a different light with reference to the newly emerging ones. Postcolonial Ecocriticism is such a field of study incorporating both the subject matters of the two distinct areas of study: Postcolonialism, which is the reclaiming and relocating the past of the colonies and Ecocriticism that propagates an analysis of the role and portrayal of nature in literary genres. Postcolonialism being anthropocentric in its inclination appears to study only the crisis and issues related to culture and human beings which deviates from accepting nature as a significant phenomenon. But the essence of Nature is undeniable in the process of formation of a distinct culture or a society. It is even overlooked that the nature also undergoes colonization simultaneously with the colonization of a country. Ecocriticism from a postcolonial perspective directly advocates the idea that nature must be regarded as a whole entity including man, living and non living organisms, culture, and society and so on. Moreover, it argues that nature is facing threats due to industrialization, population blast, global warming and human greed for more satisfaction and comfort through material means resulting in the endangerment of the 'wilderness' of nature. Consequently, sustainability must be our lone concern while performing any act upon the nature. Reef by the Sri Lanka born author Romesh Gunesekera is a pleasing narrative centered on the story of Triton, a servant to a marine biologist Mr. Salgado. The marine ecosystem in its depleting form remains the principle concern of research to Mr. Salgado beyond which the political upheavals caused by traumatic eventfulness led to a bitter catastrophic experience in the country. This paper attempts to analyze the novel from a postcolonial ecocritical point of view imbibing the diasporic disposition.

The tool used for the data collection consisted of structured questionnaire. The 40 self -structured closed ended questionnaires were prepared for assessing the determining the adjustment problems among first year B.Sc. Nursing student. Closed ended question was prepared which is descriptive in nature. Study instruments used by the researcher consisted of Consent form, structured questionnaire, which has two sections. Section I - It consisted of 13 items as demographical data to assess the adjustment problems faced by the first year Basic B.Sc. Nursing students. Section II- Collection of information on the academic, psychological, physical and social adjustment problems faced by the first year Basic B.Sc. Nursing students. The findings of the present study revealed that 23% students are poorly adjusted, 77% students are adjusted and 0% students are well adjusted. The data revealed that the mean score was 107.5 followed by standard deviation 14.6. The One-way ANOVA value showed that there was a significance association between the levels of Adjustment, the association between demographic variable of age, gender, residential area, religion, marital status, type of family, monthly family income, accommodation, ordinal position in the family and adjustment problem is significant. Based on the finding it was concluded that majority of the students are adjusted (77%) among the first year basic B.Sc. Nursing student, and 23% students are poorly adjusted.

 Abstract

The pursuit of women in Indian society has ever been remained a matter of conflict since the time immemorial. A woman is supposed to play so many roles during her entire lifetime. Traditional male-dominated setup of society wants a woman to play the obedient and submissive role throughout her whole life, having no voice or freedom of her own. While some thinkers and social reformers of the ancient times, seems to be in favour of providing women of Indian society with some freedom, where she may be able to flourish herself as an independent individual. But most of the members of male dominated society and even some thinkers are against the freedom of woman. The modern times have been changed towards the liberty of women where the women are working outside their homes to enjoy economic independence and trying to establish their own independent identity within the society, they live in. But instead of this hard fact, the traditional role is also expected to play from the part of women and is considered as the important aspect of the customs and values of society. Therefore, orthodox thinking is yet prevailed in our community even after the modernity has entered in our society and in our daily lifestyle, which is the main cause of clash between modernity and conventional values of the society.
