 Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of anime and cartoons on the psychosocial development of adolescents aged 13-15 in both urban and rural areas of the Ernakulam district in Kerala. It examines the influence of these media forms through the lens of Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, with a particular focus on defense mechanisms and cognitive distortions. A literature review was conducted, encompassing a comprehensive analysis of existing studies and theoretical frameworks related to the impact of anime and cartoons on adolescent development. The review included peer-reviewed journals, books, and credible online sources. The study synthesized findings to assess how anime and cartoons affect identity formation, social relationships, and coping strategies among adolescents. Special attention was given to comparing urban and rural contexts to identify any significant differences in media influence. This paper addresses a gap in the literature by focusing on a specific age group and geographic region, providing insights into the nuanced effects of anime and cartoons on adolescent development in the Ernakulam district. It highlights the importance of cultural and environmental factors in shaping the impact of media consumption on young people. By examining both urban and rural areas, the study offers a comparative perspective that enhances the understanding of media influence across different contexts. The findings suggest that anime and cartoons play a significant role in the psychosocial development of adolescents, influencing their identity formation, social interactions, and coping mechanisms. Erikson's theory provides a valuable framework for understanding these effects, particularly the stages of identity versus role confusion and intimacy versus isolation, which are critical during adolescence. Defense mechanisms such as denial, projection, and rationalization are often depicted in anime and cartoons, potentially reinforcing these behaviors in viewers. Additionally, cognitive distortions like all?or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, and emotional reasoning are commonly portrayed, which can shape adolescents' thought patterns and problem-solving approaches. The comparative analysis of urban and rural contexts reveals that while the overall impact of anime and cartoons is similar, there are notable differences in media consumption patterns and the interpretation of content. Urban adolescents tend to have greater access to diverse media and may adopt more varied defense mechanisms and cognitive distortions. In contrast, rural adolescents might rely more on local cultural narratives, which can moderate the influence of anime and cartoons. In conclusion, this literature review underscores the complex interplay between media consumption and adolescent development, emphasizing the need for further research to explore these dynamics in different cultural and environmental settings. Understanding the impact of anime and cartoons on psychosocial development can inform educators, parents, and policymakers in fostering healthy media consumption habits among adolescents.

 Abstract

India is facing a triple burden of pre-diabetes, diabetes, and obesity. Unhealthy eating habits and physical inactivity have been linked to the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite dietary recommendations, individuals consume inadequate amounts or un- suitable type of dietary fiber (DF) which needs correction. Evidence has shown that medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is a valuable approach and an essential component of T2DM prevention and management. Studies have shown that fiber rich diabetes nutrition (FDN) has multi-systemic health benefits, including, improvement in glycemic control, reduction in glucose spikes, decrease in hyperinsulinemia, improvement in plasma lipid concentrations and weight management in T2DM patients. A high fiber diet is vital for people with diabetes and associated conditions. Increasing fiber intake, preferably through food or through dietary supplement, may help. Fiber rich diabetes nutrition (FDN) is recommended in order to prevent and manage T2DM.

 Abstract

Today, we stand at the forefront of a thrilling era in biotechnology, particularly in crop biotechnology, with the potential to revolutionise agricultural output and ensure an abundance of nutrients for our rapidly growing population. The market for genetically modified crops is on the brink of explosive growth, promising resilient, high-yielding, and nutrient-rich crops that will transform how we cultivate food. The potential of genetic engineering is not just promising; it is inspiring. We envision creating new plants with extraordinary traits such as amplified productivity, exceptional quality, disease resistance, and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. Public perception, government policies, and scientific evidence influence attitudes toward biotechnology and genetically modified foods, crucial to ensuring safe and sustainable food security. Additionally, stringent biosafety regulations are essential to ensuring the safety of biotech crops for consumption and the environment. By expediting approvals for these crops, we are paving the way for a thriving and sustainable future in agriculture.

 Abstract

A chest tube insertion is a surgical procedure in which a hollow, flexible drainage tube is inserted through the side of the chest in to the pleural space in order to drain the pleural cavity of air, blood, pus or lymph. The study was conducted with the aim to assess the effectiveness of educational intervention programme care of chest tube drainage among staff nurses working in selected hospital of Indore in the year 2022-2023. Quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used to assess the knowledge of 60 nurses and were selected as the participants through purposive sampling technique who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using Structured knowledge questionnaire. Intervention was administered in the form of an informational booklet on intercostal drainage and care of patients with intercostal drainage. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study concluded that in the pre-test most of the study subjects had poor knowledge, while as in the post-test most of the subjects had good level of knowledge indicating that the educational intervention programme was effective in improving the knowledge. The study concluded that there was statistically significant improvement in knowledge scores after implementation of an informational booklet regarding care of chest tube drainage indicating that the educational intervention programme was effective in improving the knowledge scores. The study recommended that regular educational program should be designed to give information for enhancing and reinforcement of nurses' knowledge to achieve high quality patient care.
